Edward:
You rogue. Why didn't you ask for two hundred from me?
Lucas: There's no time. Madam knows all. Meanwhile, if I take your money it will be true that Madam knows all—for dammit she knows nothing.
Angelica:
Ah, my poor Lucas.
Edward:
Wait, take my purse.
Lucas:
And here comes Madam returning. I am going to assist you.
(Enter Mrs. Townly, Mr. Townly, Mr. Nelson, and the lawyer)
Lucas: Come quickly, Madam, see the young folks are fighting. Come quickly, separate them. They find everything the other one says enraging—so much so that I would think they are already married.
Mrs. Townly:
Does my daughter revolt against me! Insolent! You here, too, sir.
(To Nelson)
Leave instantly.
Nelson: Go, go. I am more complacent than you. You kick me out and I'm leaving.
