SCENE TWELFTH
Quinola, Fontanares and Monipodio.
Fontanares
What will be the result of this imposture?
Quinola
You were tottering on the brink of an abyss, and I rescued you.
Monipodio It was well impersonated! But the Venetians have abundance of money, and in order to obtain three months' credit, we must throw dust into the eyes of the creditors, and this is the most expensive kind of dust.
Quinola Didn't I tell you that there was a treasure coming? Well it's here now.
Monipodio
Coming of its own accord?
(Quinola assents with a nod.)
Fontanares
His effrontery terrifies me.
