The Porter--The sign?
Poirier--"To let immediately, a magnificent apartment on the first floor, with stables and carriage houses."
The Porter--The apartment of Monsieur le Marquis?
Poirier--You have said it, François.
The Porter--But Monsieur le Marquis has not given the order.
Poirier--Who is the master here, donkey? Who owns this mansion?
The Porter--You, Monsieur.
Poirier--Then do what I tell you without arguing.
The Porter--Yes, Monsieur. [Enter Vatel.]
Poirier--Go, François. [Exit Porter.] Come in, Monsieur Vatel: you are getting up a big dinner for to-morrow?
