Jupiter�察�is but the boy that holds the kite´string�察�my
aspirations and designs swim like the kite sky´high�察�and overlook
an empire。
BERTRAND。 If I could get a full meal and a pound in my pocket I
would hold my tongue。
MACAIRE。 Dreams�察�dreams� �We are what we are�察�and what are we�拭 �
Who are you�拭�who cares�拭 �Who am I�拭�myself。 What do we come from��
an accident。 What's a mother�拭�an old woman。 A father�拭�the
gentleman who beats her。 What is crime�拭�discovery。 Virtue�拭�
opportunity。 Politics�拭�a pretext。 Affection�拭�an affectation。
Morality�拭�an affair of latitude。 Punishment�拭�this side the
frontier。 Reward�拭�the other。 Property�拭�plunder。 Business��
other people's money ´ not mine�察�by God� �and the end of life to
live till we are hanged。
BERTRAND。 Macaire�察�I came into this place with my tail between
my legs already�察�and hungry besides�察�and then you get to
flourishing�察 �and it depresses me worse than the chaplain in the
jail。
MACAIRE。 What is a chaplain�拭 �A man they pay to say what you
don't want to hear。
BERTRAND。 And who are you after all�拭�and what right have you to
talk like that�拭 �By what I can hear�察�you've been the best part of
your life in quod�察�and as for me�察�since I've followed you�察�what
sort of luck have I had�拭 �Sold again� �A boose�察�a blue fright��
two years' hard�察�and the police hot´foot after us even now。
MACAIRE。 What is life�拭 �A boose and the police。
BERTRAND。 Of course�察�I know you're clever�察�I admire you down to
the ground�察�and I'll starve without you。 But I can't stand it��
and I'm off。 Good´bye�此 �good luck to you�察�old man� �and if you
want the bundle ´
MACAIRE。 I am a gentleman of a mild disposition and�察�I thank my
maker�察�elegant manners�察�but rather than be betrayed by such a
thing as you are�察�with the courage of a hare�察�and the manners�察�by
the Lord Harry�察�of a jumping´Jack ´ ��HE SHOWS HIS KNIFE。��
BERTRAND。 Put it up�察�put it up�此 �I'll do what you want。
MACAIRE。 What is obedience�拭�fear。 So march straight�察�or look
for mischief。 It's not BON TON�察�I know�察�and far from friendly。
But what is friendship�拭�convenience。 But we lose time in this
amiable dalliance。 Come�察�now an effort of deportment�此 �the head
thrown back�察�a jaunty carriage of the leg�察�crook gracefully the
elbow。 Thus。 'Tis better。 ��CALLING。�� House�察�house here��
BERTRAND。 Are you mad�拭 �We haven't a brass farthing。
MACAIRE。 Now� � But before we leave��
SCENE IV
TO THESE�察�DUMONT
DUMONT。 Gentlemen�察�what can a plain man do for your service��
MACAIRE。 My good man�察�in a roadside inn one cannot look for the
impossible。 Give one what small wine and what country fare you
can produce。
DUMONT。 Gentlemen�察�you come here upon a most auspicious day�察�a
red´letter day for me and my poor house�察�when all are welcome。
Suffer me�察�with all delicacy�察�to inquire if you are not in
somewhat narrow circumstances��
MACAIRE。 My good creature�察�you are strangely in error�察�one is

GORIOT。 Then who the devil's son be he��
DUMONT。 O�察�I don't know。 It's an odd tale�察�a romantic tale�此 �it
may amuse you。 It was twenty years ago�察�when I kept the GOLDEN
HEAD at Lyons�此 �Charles was left upon my doorstep in a covered
basket�察�with sufficient money to support the child till he should
come of age。 There was no mark upon the linen�察�nor any clue but
one�此 �an unsigned letter from the father of the child�察�which he
strictly charged me to preserve。 It was to prove his identity�此 �
he�察�of course�察�would know the contents�察�and he only�察�so I keep it
safe in the third compartment of my cash´box�察�with the ten
thousand francs I've saved for his dowry。 Here is the key�察�it's
a patent key。 To´day the poor boy is twenty´one�察�to´morrow to be
married。 I did perhaps hope the father would appear�此 �there was
a Marquis coming�察�he wrote me for a room�察�I gave him the best��
Number Thirteen�察�which you have all heard of�此 �I did hope it
might be he�察�for a Marquis�察�you know�察�is always genteel。 But no��
you see。 As for me�察�I take you all to witness I'm as innocent of
him as the babe unborn。
MACAIRE。 Ahem� �I think you said the linen bore an M��
DUMONT。 Pardon me�此 �the markings were cut off。
MACAIRE。 True。 The basket white�察�I think��
DUMONT。 Brown�察�brown。
MACAIRE。 Ah� �brown ´ a whitey´brown。
GORIOT。 I tell 'ee what�察�Dumont�察�this is all very well�察�but in
that case�察�I'll be danged if he gets my daater。 ��GENERAL
CONSTERNATION。��
DUMONT。 O Goriot�察�let's have happy faces��
GORIOT。 Happy faces be danged� �I want to marry my daater�察�I
want your son。 But who be this�拭 �I don't know�察�and you don't
know�察�and he don't know。 He may be anybody�察�by Jarge�察�he may be
nobody� 。�EXCLAMATIONS。��
CURATE。 The situation is crepuscular。
