Argon You've done very properly. Yes, you're right, and I am the fool. To deceive the Baron—yes, I see the pretence is prudent and useful.
Lisette
I believe, too, well done, at least.
Argon How charming Lisette is. I am not blind, I see clearly that Lisette prefers me to a far richer man. What love! What wit!
Lisette
I have no wit. Love has added to my customary want of it.
Argon
We must secretly—
Lisette Yes, but let's separate. I will go alone, in secret, to your place for a short while.
Argon
Without your father—
Lisette He's coming. Leave me, for I tremble if the Baron and he should see us together.
(Exit Argon. Enter Lucas and the Baron.)
Lisette (aside) Here I am sure of one, but he's my second choice. Let's retake the other one. He's back to speak to me.
