BRICHANTEAU.
Intractable and stubborn;
Rude to his officers. As to good looks,
He had lost his; he limped, had a large wen
Upon his eye; from blonde had turned to red,
And from round-shouldered had become hump-backed.
SAVERNY (low).
Enough!
BRICHANTEAU.
He gambled—every one knows that.
He would have staked his soul on dice. I'll wager
That cards had eaten up his property.
His fortune galloped faster every night.
SAVERNY (low, pulling his sleeve).
Enough! Good God! Your consolation is
Too strong.
LAFFEMAS.
To speak so ill of a dead friend!
Unpardonable!
