RUD. Your health!
COL. Your health!
RUD., MAR., SCH. and COL. (all touching BENOIT'S glass)
Drink we all your health, sir! (all drink)
BEN. (resuming, to MARCEL)
To you I come, as the quarter now is ended;
You have promised,
MAR. To keep it I intended. (Shows BENOIT the money on the table.)
RUD. (aside to MARCEL) Art mad?
SCH. (aside to MARCEL) What do you—
MAR. (to BENOIT, without noticing the two)
Hast seen it? Then give your care a respite,
And join our friendly circle.
Tell me how many years
Boast you of, my dear sir?
BEN. My years! Spare me, I pray.
RUD. Our own age, less or more?
