G.Do not stay me, man;
Your happiness is at stake.
N.Nay, she forbade it.
She said in half an hour.
G. (half-aside). Why does he stay me?
In half an hour he says. What can I do?
By that time he’ll be off. (Aloud.) St. Nicholas!
His coach is at the door: in half an hour
’Twill be too late: he will have got away.
