"Simply to keep her company. She likes my society very much, I sing villanelles to her."
"Listen to me, I ought to break your back to punish you for what you've done."
"O my dear Touquet, that was a joke."
"Get along with you, I despise you too much to strike you."
"That's very civil on your part."
"Have you told me the truth?"
"If you doubt it, come with me to the inn. Julia will not be long before she comes in."
"No, I can't go there this evening; but I forbid you to say a word to her about our meeting."
"As soon as you forbid me, it's as if you had cut out my tongue."
"If I don't find Julia tomorrow in the place you have told me of, monsieur le marquis himself will see that you are punished, and this time there will be no quarter given you."
