SIL. What do you mean by his story?
ZER. Yes; I was so full of that story that I longed to tell it to somebody. But what does it matter? So much the worse for him. I do not see that things can be made either better or worse.
SIL. You must have been in a great hurry to chatter; and it is indiscretion, indeed, not to keep silent on your own affairs.
ZER. Oh! he would have heard it from somebody else.
SCENE V.—ARGANTE, ZERBINETTE, SILVESTRE.
ARG. (behind the scenes). Hullo! Silvestre.
SIL. (to ZERBINETTE). Go in there; my master is calling me.
