René. Come now, only six months, and you've had some news.
Féliat. Where are you from last?
René. From Tunis.
Guéret. And what are you doing here?
René. I'll tell you all about it. I want to have a bit of a talk with you.
Féliat. Well, we're listening.
Guéret. You're mighty solemn about it.
René. It's extremely serious business.
Féliat. Don't be tragic. You're here safe and sound; and you've not lost money, because you'd none to lose.
René. I've come to marry Thérèse.
