AND. She has a headache.
MASC. I have some good wine and cheese within; walk in, go into my small house. (Celia, Andrès and Mascarille go into the house).
SCENE V.—LELIO, alone.
However impatient and excited I may feel, yet I have pledged my word to do nothing but wait quietly, to let another work for me, and to see, without daring to stir, in what manner Heaven will change my destiny.
SCENE VI.—ANDRÈS, LELIO.
LEL. (Addressing Andrès, who is coming out of the house). Do you want to see anybody in this house?
AND. I have just taken some furnished apartments there.
LEL. The house belongs to my father, and my servant sleeps there every night to take care of it.
AND. I know nothing of that; the bill, at least, shows it is to be let; read it.
LEL. Truly this surprises me, I confess. Who the deuce can have put that bill up, and why…? Ho, faith, I can guess, pretty near, what it means; this cannot possibly proceed but from the quarter I surmise.
