Jean. It is Mr. Thibaudier, Ma'am, who wishes you good morning, and, before he comes, sends you some pears out of his garden, with this small note.

SCENE XIV.—THE COUNTESS, CRIQUET, JEANNOT.

Coun. (giving some money to JEANNOT). Here, my boy; here is something for your trouble.

Jean. Oh no, thank you, Ma'am.

Coun. Take it, I say.

Jean. My master told me not take anything from you Ma'am.

Coun. Never mind, take it all the same.

Jean. Excuse me, Ma'am.

Cri. Take it, Jeannot. If you don't want it, you can give it me.

Coun. Tell your master that I thank him.
