I love your daughter, Mancini, and I am sorry to let her go. What more does she need here? She has an honest job, wonderful comrades, and the atmosphere—?
Mancini
Not she, but I need something. You understand? [Laughs.] I asked you to increase her salary, Harpagon! and now, Mr. Manager, wouldn't you like to change me a thousand franc note?
Briquet
[With a sigh]: Give it to me.
Mancini
[Nonchalantly]: To-morrow. I left it at home. [All three laugh.] Laugh, laugh! To-day we are going with the Baron to his villa in the country; people say a very nice villa.

What for?
