Laura: No, no, madam, let's finish it. It's time. I cannot remain for the rest of my life in the condition I am in. And I am tired of complaining.
Jenny:
Ah, that's better. Here's a woman. Courage, madam.
Laura:
I believe he's with Charlotte. Shall I send for him?
Jenny: To what good? They are not going to tell you anything, and you will merely increase their happiness.
Laura:
Then do what you wish.
Jenny:
I will do only what I said. (Seeing Captain Slice appear)
Here's Captain Slice. This is the man I spoke to you about.
(Enter Slice)
Laura:
Jenny has told you what must be done?
Slice:
Don't worry about anything, madam.
Jenny:
Have you some strong friends with you?
