Minard
The three hundred thousand francs.
Pierquin
My three hundred thousand francs!
Verdelin
The truth for once!
Mercadet (astounded)
Three hundred thousand francs! I see them! I touch them! I grasp them!
Three hundred thousand—where did you get them?
Minard
I told you he gave them to me.
Mercadet (with vehemence)
He!— He—! Who is he?
Minard
Did not I say, M. Godeau?
Mercadet
What Godeau? Which Godeau?
Minard
Why the Godeau who has come back from the Indies.
Mercadet
From the Indies?
