first story�察�approached�察�C。�察�by a straight flight of stairs。 L。

one��L。�察�partially laid for a considerable party。

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。 He doubtless meant it kindly。
NOTARY。 Where's Aline��

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。

table set for company�察�this is fate�此 �Bertrand�察�are we the first
arrivals�拭 �An office�察�a cabinet�察�a cash´box ´ aha� �and a

��MAKES AS IF TURNING KEY。�� The kitchen window�此 �humming with
cookery�察�truffles�察�before Jove� �I was born for truffles。 Cock

to fool�察�and still the door open�察�the great unbolted door of the
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
