SCENE V.
Jourdain, Martin, Isabel.
Mart. Ha! Why this unseasonable Interruption, while your Daughter is at Confession?
Jourd. Oh, Father, I have brought you News will make you happy, will rejoice your poor Heart. My Daughter is redeemed.
Mart. Out of Purgatory——vain Man! dost thou think to inform the Church?—
Jourd. I suppose St. Francis has been beforehand with me. Indeed I should have imagined that before: for we seldom hear any thing from the Saints, but thro' the Mouth of a Priest.
Mart. (What does he mean?)
[Aside.
Jourd. Well, Daughter, the Thoughts of a Nunnery now give you no Uneasiness.
Mart. No, no, she is perfectly reconciled to it, and I am confident, would not quit the Nunnery for the Bed of a Prince.
