"And you have recognized me, noble and excellent woman!"
"Yes, monsieur."
"But how did you conceal your emotion so well?—— How strong women are!—-- I fall from the skies into the midst of your peaceful existence, and you see me without moving a muscle!"
"Yes, monsieur."
"Have you forgiven me for a seeming injury for which Destiny alone is responsible?"
"Yes, monsieur."
"Thanks! A thousand thanks!—-- What a charming family you have about you! This good Pierre, who almost opened his arms on seeing me approach, is my son, is he not?"
"Yes, monsieur."
"Rejoice! He shall be rich! He already has happiness; I bring him fortune. His portion shall be a million. Oh, Clementine! what a commotion there will be in this simple assembly, when I raise my voice and say to my son: 'Here! this million is for you!' Is it a good time now? Shall I speak? Shall I tell all?"
"Yes, monsieur."
