Juan. Gently, gently; I have been an irreproachable husband.
Tim. Oh!
Nem. Ah!
Juan. Irreproachable. My wife has always been first in my affections.
Tim. But you have had a second, and a third——
Nem. And a fourth and a fifth.
Juan. Those are lawful requirements of the system of numeration.
Nem. Peace between the future fathers-in-law. The one is as good as the other; the one is just as gay as the other; and one is quite as sedate a father of a family as the other.
Juan. And of course you must be better than we are! You who have been steeped in alcohol from your tenderest years.
Nem. Between the bottle and the woman, I cling to the bottle.
