(Enter Girard)
Girard (aside) Let's latch on to the father. I risk nothing, for without him the Baron can conclude nothing. By making him read this phony list, let us disturb his head. Let's throw the dice. (counterfeiting the newsboys) Lists, lists of winners!
Lucas
Lottery winners! Let's see a bit. What did you say there?
Girard
Let's see if this lottery came out good.
Lucas
What do I see there? Don't I see the seal?
Girard Clever. Are you curious? (putting the list on the side where Lucas is not) Read here.
Lucas
Very well. But show me better then.
Girard To an avaricious reader—oh beautiful thought. May a happy fool with a lucky number—
Lucas
Ha, ha, that's it!
Girard
Yes, it is. Hum, hum.
