To better celebrate
the pleasures of our reunion, I want to dine with you tonight. This
morning, I invited a friend--you'll enjoy good company.
Captain
Madame, this honor is very advantageous to me. A small business matter
tears me away at present, but I will soon return. I'll hurry.
Urania
Go, my darling. I will await you with impatience.
Captain (bowing, kissing her hand)
Here--in a moment I will return.
(Exit the Captain)
Urania
The love he has for me is not to be imagined.
Jenny (archly)
No, m'am.
Urania
In revenge, I will love him like crazy. How do you like him?
Jenny
He's good looking. His valet, Spruce, isn't bad to look at, either. We
are a little bit in love--but, who's coming-- It's Mr. Hastings.
(Enter Hastings)
Hastings
Hello, sis.
Urania
Good day, brother, dear.
Hastings
This is lucky, I was going to your house to speak to you on some
business.
Urania
This place is as good as any. You won't annoy me.
Hastings
I want to marry Flavella off.
Urania
That's not a bad idea. Your daughter is getting big, you know. People
ask me how I can have such a grown up niece.
Hastings
And our solicitor, Mr. Torrington, whose zeal for our family, you
know, has found a good match for her.
