Lisette If I said it, I repent it so much. I have so much scorn, that if I said it, I will say the contrary, always to the whole wide world, to yourself, to my father. (pretending tenderness) What the world will know, that I loved you, and that, when I cried from love, you didn't want to marry me. No, no, and against you, my courage has returned. Me! I love you? I would indeed have little heart. My love was honest and yours was deceitful.
Lucas (who has softened, taken in and almost crying)
I've seen—she's right.
Baron Then it's from rage, suspecting my love is not sincere, that you have told me you don't love me?
Lisette
Yes, exactly. Am I wrong?
Baron
You love me then?
Lisette
Alas!
Baron Let's forget all this, Lisette, let's go quickly to a notary. May a contract be the prize of your sincere love. Let's hurry.
(Exit Baron.)
Lucas (transported with joy)
Quickly, quickly!
Lisette (low to her father, holding him by the arm)
Let's go softly.
