McNaughten I've had enough of your impertinences. More important business calls me away, and it's to finish that business that I am here. To get married, and not to dine with creatures like you who seek adventures.
Urania
Creatures! Adventures! Heavens! What a way to speak to me!
Jenny Creatures! Ah, Madame, here are two fabulous cheats. If you listen to me, we'll box their ears and avenge our pride.
McNaughten
Softly, if you please. Moderate your passion.
Jenny I've never felt so wild. I would have spared the valet—but he does nothing to separate himself from his master. Why, Spruce?
Spruce I don't wish to know of your differences. I do not want to fight with you. If he brutalizes you, why blame me?
Urania How unhappy I am and how weak to have declared my affection for this ingrate! Jenny, you know it—I hide nothing from you.
Jenny
Perfidious wretch—isn't your heart touched?
McNaughten There, there, take it easy. If this extreme love has come on so swiftly, mark my words, it will soon pass off.
Urania (having made up her mind)
Go!— Expect nothing more from me, but hate and malice.
