Urania Let's put that lugubrious idea far away from us. To better celebrate the pleasures of our reunion, I want to dine with you tonight. This morning, I invited a friend—you'll enjoy good company.
Captain Madame, this honor is very advantageous to me. A small business matter tears me away at present, but I will soon return. I'll hurry.
Urania
Go, my darling. I will await you with impatience.
Captain (bowing, kissing her hand)
Here—in a moment I will return.
(Exit the Captain)
Urania
The love he has for me is not to be imagined.
Jenny (archly)
No, m'am.
Urania
In revenge, I will love him like crazy. How do you like him?
Jenny He's good looking. His valet, Spruce, isn't bad to look at, either. We are a little bit in love—but, who's coming— It's Mr. Hastings.
(Enter Hastings)
