BERTRAND。  Damned bad tobacco。

MACAIRE。  I will give you a little course of science。 
Everything�察 �Bertrand ��much as it may surprise you���察�has three
states�此 �a vapour�察�a liquid�察�a solid。  These are fortune in the
vapour�此 �these are ideas。  What are ideas�拭�the protoplasm of
wealth。  To your head ´ which�察�by the way�察�is a solid�察�Bertrand ´

constructive intellects�察�see�察�as I grasp and work them�察�to what
lineaments of the future they transform themselves�此 �a palace�察�a

carries the bag�察�my boy。  Would you have me define honesty�拭�the 
strategic point for theft。  Bertrand�察�if I'd three hundred a
year�察�I'd be honest to´morrow。

BERTRAND。  Ah�  �Don't you wish you may get it��

MACAIRE。  Bertrand�察�I will bet you my head against your own ´ the
longest odds I can imagine ´ that with honesty for my
spring´board�察�I leap through history like a paper hoop�察�and come
out among posterity heroic and immortal。


SCENE II

absent friend�察�the Notary。

DUMONT。  God bless me�察�no��

MACAIRE。  My friends�察�I had meant to preserve a strict incognito��
for I was ashamed ��I own it�。� of this poor accoutrement�察�but when
I see a face that I can render happy�察�say�察�my old Dumont�察�should
I  hesitate to work the change�拭 �Hear me�察�then�察�and you ��TO THE 
OTHERS�� prepare a smiling countenance。  ��REPEATING。��  'Preserve 
this letter secretly�察�its terms are only known to you and me��
hence when the time comes�察�I shall repeat them�察�and my son will
recognise his father。 ´ Your Unknown Benefactor。'

boy�拭 。�A DEAD PAUSE。��  Charles�察�to my arms��

CHARLES。  My father�察�you are still something of a stranger。  I
hope ´ er ´ in the course of time ´ I hope that may be somewhat
mended。  But I confess that I have so long regarded Mr。 Dumont ´

MACAIRE。  Love him still�察�dear boy�察�love him still。  I have not 
returned to be a burden on your heart�察�nor much�察�comparatively��
on your pocket。  A place by the fire�察�dear boy�察�a crust for my
friend�察�Bertrand。  ��A DEAD PAUSE。��  Ah�察�well�察�this is a different
home´coming from that I fancied when I left the letter�此 �I

mother。

MACAIRE。  And yours�察�my good Goriot��

GORIOT。  I be a royalist�察�I be�察�and so be my daater。

MACAIRE。  How strange is the coincidence�  �The party that I
sought to found combined the peculiarities of both�此 �a patriotic 
enterprise in which I fell。  This humble fellow 。 。 。 have I 
introduced him�拭 �You behold in us the embodiment of aristocracy
and democracy。  Bertrand�察�shake hands with my family。  ��BERTRAND

MACAIRE。  Marquis�察�delighted�察�I am sure。

MARQUIS ��TO DUMONT��。  I come�察�as you perceive�察�unfollowed�察�my 
errand�察�therefore�察�is discreet。  I come ��PRODUCING NOTES FROM 
BREAST´POCKET�� equipped with thirty thousand francs�察�my errand�察�
therefore�察�must be generous。  Can you not guess��

MARQUIS ��REPEATING��。  'Preserve this letter��' etc。

MARQUIS。  My figure�察�I think��

MACAIRE。  Ah�察�Charles�察�Charles��

CURATE。  We used to think his physiognomy resembled Dumont's。

DUMONT。  Come to look at him�察�he's really like Goriot。

ERNESTINE。  O papa�察�I hope he's not my brother。

GORIOT。  What be talking of�拭 �I tell 'ee�察�he's like our Curate。

CHARLES。  Gentlemen�察�my head aches。

MARQUIS。  I have it�此 �the involuntary voice of nature。  Look at
me�察�my son。

MACAIRE。  Nay�察�Charles�察�but look at me。

CHARLES。  Gentlemen�察�I am unconscious of the smallest natural 
inclination for either。

MARQUIS。  Another thought�此 �what was his mother's name��

MACAIRE。  What was the name of his mother by you��

MARQUIS。  Sir�察�you are silenced。

MACAIRE。  Silenced by honour。  I had rather lose my boy than 
compromise his sainted mother。

MARQUIS。  A thought�此 �twins might explain it�此 �had you not two 
foundlings��

DUMONT。  Nay�察�sir�察�one only�察�and judging by the miseries of this 
evening�察�I should say�察�thank God��

MARQUIS。  Well�察�sir��

MACAIRE ��TOUCHING HIM ON THE BREAST��。  You have there thirty 
thousand francs。

MARQUIS。  Well�察�sir��

MACAIRE。  I was but thinking of the inequalities of life�察�my
lord�此 �that I who�察�for all you know�察�may be the father of your
son�察�should have nothing�察�and that you who�察�for all I know�察�may
be the father of mine�察�should be literally bulging with bank
notes。  。 。 。  Where  do you keep them at night��

MARQUIS。  Under my pillow。  I think it rather ingenious。
