MACAIRE


ACT I。

The Stage represents the courtyard of the Auberge des Adrets。  It
is surrounded by the buildings of the inn�察�with a gallery on the 
first story�察�approached�察�C。�察�by a straight flight of stairs。  L。 
C。�察�the entrance doorway。  A little in front of this�察�a small 
grated office�察�containing business table�察�brass´bound cabinet��
and portable cash´box。  In front�察�R。 and L。�察�tables and benches��
one��L。�察�partially laid for a considerable party。


SCENE I


ALINE and MAIDS�察�to whom FIDDLERS�察�afterwards DUMONT and CHARLES。


As the curtain rises�察�the sound of the violins is heard 
approaching。  ALINE and the inn servants�察�who are discovered
laying the table�察�dance up to door L。 C。�察�to meet the FIDDLERS��
who enter  likewise dancing to their own music。  Air�此 �'Haste to
the Wedding。'   The FIDDLERS exeunt playing into house�察�R。 U。 E。
ALINE and MAIDS dance back to table�察�which they proceed to
arrange。

ALINE。  Well�察�give me fiddles�此 �fiddles and a wedding feast。  It 
tickles your heart till your heels make a runaway match of it。  I
don't mind extra work�察�I don't�察�so long as there's fun about it。 
Hand me up that pile of plates。  The quinces there�察�before the 
bride。  Stick a pink in the Notary's glass�此 �that's the girl he's
courting。

DUMONT ��ENTERING�察�WITH CHARLES��。  Good girls�察�good girls� �
Charles�察 �in ten minutes from now what happy faces will smile
around that board��

CHARLES。  Sir�察�my good fortune is complete�察�and most of all in 
this�察�that my happiness has made my father happy。

DUMONT。  Your father�拭 �Ah�察�well�察�upon that point we shall have
more to say。

CHARLES。  What more remains that has not been said already�拭 �For 
surely�察�sir�察�there are few sons more fortunate in their father�此 �
and�察�since you approve of this marriage�察�may I not conceive you
to be in that sense fortunate in your son��

DUMONT。  Dear boy�察�there is always a variety of considerations。  
But the moment is ill chosen for dispute�察�to´night�察�at least�察�let
our felicity be unalloyed。  ��LOOKING OFF L。 C。��  Our guests
arrive�此 �here is our good Curate�察�and here our cheerful Notary。

CHARLES。  His old infirmity�察�I fear。

DUMONT。  But Charles ´ dear boy�  � at your wedding feast�  �I
should have taken it unneighbourly had he come strictly sober。


SCENE II

To these�察�by the door L。 C。�察�the CURATE and the NOTARY�察�arm in
arm�察�the latter owl´like and titubant。

CURATE。  Peace be on this house��

NOTARY ��SINGING��。  'Prove an excuse for the glass。'

DUMONT。  Welcome�察�excellent neighbours�  �The Church and the Law。

CURATE。  And you�察�Charles�察�let me hope your feelings are in
solemn congruence with this momentous step。

NOTARY ��DIGGING CHARLES IN THE RIBS��。  Married�拭 �Lovely bride�拭 �
Prove an excuse��

DUMONT ��TO CURATE��。  I fear our friend�拭�perhaps�拭�as usual�拭�eh��

CURATE。  Possibly�此 �I had not yet observed it。

DUMONT。  Well�察�well�察�his heart is good。

CURATE。  He doubtless meant it kindly。

NOTARY。  Where's Aline��

ALINE。  Coming�察�sir�  。�NOTARY MAKES FOR HER。��

CURATE ��CAPTURING HIM��。  You will infallibly expose yourself to 
misconstruction。  ��TO CHARLES。��  Where is your commanding
officer��

CHARLES。  Why�察�sir�察�we have quite an alert。  Information has been
received from Lyons that the notorious malefactor�察�Robert
Macaire�察�has broken prison�察�and the Brigadier is now scouring the
country in his pursuit。  I myself am instructed to watch the
visitors to our house。

DUMONT。  That will do�察�Charles�此 �you may go。  ��EXIT CHARLES。�� 
You have considered the case I laid before you��

NOTARY。  Considered a case��

DUMONT。  Yes�察�yes。  Charles�察�you know�察�Charles。  Can he marry�拭�
under these untoward and peculiar circumstances�察�can he marry��

NOTARY。  Now�察�lemme tell you�此 �marriage is a contract to which 
there are two constracting parties。  That being clear�察�I am 
prepared to argue categorically that your son Charles ´ who�察�it 
appears�察�is not your son Charles ´ I am prepared to argue that
one party to a contract being null and void�察�the other party to a
contract cannot by law oblige or constrain the first party to 
constract or bind himself to any contract�察�except the other party
be able to see his way clearly to constract himself with him。  I 
donno if I make myself clear��

DUMONT。  No。

NOTARY。  Now�察�lemme tell you�此 �by applying justice of peace might
possibly afford relief。

DUMONT。  But how��

NOTARY。  Ay�察�there's the rub。

DUMONT。  But what am I to do�拭 �He's not my son�察�I tell you�此 �
Charles is not my son。

NOTARY。  I know。

DUMONT。  Perhaps a glass of wine would clear him��

NOTARY。  That's what I want。  ��THEY GO OUT�察�L。 U。 E。��

ALINE。  And now�察�if you've done deranging my table�察�to the cellar
for the wine�察�the whole pack of you。  ��MANET SOLA�察�CONSIDERING 
TABLE。��  There�此 �it's like a garden。  If I had as sweet a table
for  my wedding�察�I would marry the Notary。

an architectural feature I approve�察�I count it a convenience both

frontier��

BERTRAND。  Macaire�察�I'm hungry。

MACAIRE。  Bertrand�察�excuse me�察�you are a sensualist。  I should
have  left you in the stone´yard at Lyons�察�and written no
passport but my  own。  Your soul is incorporate with your
stomach。  Am I not hungry�察�too�拭 �My body�察�thanks to immortal
Jupiter�察�is but the boy that holds the kite´string�察�my
aspirations and designs swim like the ki
