Godard
Why do you wish me to do this?
Vernon Now I beg of you, for you are a good fellow, to do as I bid you; it is necessary. Do you love Pauline?
Godard I did love her yesterday, but this morning— (Aside) I must find out what he is concealing from me. (To Vernon) It shall be done! I will go on to the veranda and come back again with a message that Ferdinand sends for the General. You may rely upon me. Ah! Here is Ferdinand himself, that is all right!
(Godard goes on the veranda.)
Pauline
'Tis peculiar, how drowsy I feel.
(Pauline lies down on the divan; Ferdinand appears and talks with
Godard.)
SCENE TENTH
The same persons and Ferdinand.
Ferdinand General, it will be necessary for you to come to the office and the factory in order to verify my accounts.
The General
That is only just to you.
