Lisette I had no intention of managing either of you, I assure you, and you can see it quite well.
Widow
That's speaking plainly.
Lisette For, hold on, I prefer my liberty, a hundred times, to all your grand honors and quality. To be the wife of a great lord, I would be a servant. As for your kindnesses, of which I am cognizant, pardon me if I refuse them. In a word, both of you wish to marry me, but I will never marry either one of you.
Baron
There's your dismissal.
Argon
It is also yours.
Baron
I cannot recover from my astonishment.
Argon
Leave her, forget her, that's sufficient to punish her.
Baron
Well said. No more love.
Argon
Yes, we scorn Lisette
Baron (to Widow)
She has a hundred thousand francs which I still regret.
