MARQUIS。 No�察�sir�察�I do not。
MACAIRE。 My lord�察�I am a poor man。
MARQUIS。 Well�察�sir�拭�and what of that��
MACAIRE。 The affections�察�my lord�察�are priceless。 Money will not
buy them�察�or�察�at least�察�it takes a great deal。
MARQUIS。 Sir�察�your sentiments do you honour。
MACAIRE。 My lord�察�you are rich。
MARQUIS。 Well�察�sir��
MACAIRE。 Now follow me�察�I beseech you。 Here am I�察�my lord�察�and
there�察�if I may so express myself�察�are you。 Each has the
father's heart�察�and there we are equal�察�each claims yon
interesting lad�察�and there again we are on a par。 But�察�my lord ´
and here we come to the inequality�察�and what I consider the
unfairness of the thing ´ you have thirty thousand francs�察�and I��
my lord�察�have not a rap。 You mark me�拭�not a rap�察�my lord� �My
lord�察�put yourself in my position�此 �consider what must be my
feelings�察�my desires�察�and ´ hey��
MARQUIS。 I fail to grasp 。 。 。 。
MACAIRE ��WITH IRRITATION��。 My dear man�察�there is the door of the
house�察�here am I�察�there ��TOUCHING�察�MARQUIS ON THE BREAST�� are
thirty thousand francs。 Well�察�now��
MARQUIS。 I give you my word of honour�察�sir�察�I gather nothing�察�my
mind is quite unused to such prolonged exertion。 If the boy be
yours�察�he is not mine�察�if he be mine�察�he is not yours�察�and if he
is neither of ours�察�or both of ours 。 。 。 in short�察�my mind 。 。
。 。
MACAIRE。 My lord�察�will you lay those thirty thousand francs upon
the table��
MARQUIS。 I fail to grasp 。 。 。 but if it will in any way
oblige you 。 。 。 。 ��DOES SO。��
MACAIRE。 Now�察�my lord�察�follow me�此 �I take them up�察�you see�拭 �I
put them in my pocket�察�you follow me�拭 �This is my hat�察�here is my
stick�察�and here is my ´ my friend's bundle。
MARQUIS。 But that is my cloak。
MACAIRE。 Precisely。 Now�察�my lord�察�one more effort of your
lordship's mind。 If I were to go out of that door�察�with the full
intention ´ follow me close ´ the full intention of never being
heard of more�察�what would you do��
MARQUIS。 I� � send for the police。
MACAIRE。 Take your money� 。�DASHING DOWN THE NOTES。�� Man�察�if I
met you in a lane� 。�HE DROPS HIS HEAD UPON THE TABLE。��
MARQUIS。 The poor soul is insane。 The other man�察�whom I suppose
to be his keeper�察�is very much to blame。
MACAIRE ��RAISING HIS HEAD��。 I have a light� 。�TO MARQUIS。�� With
invincible oafishness�察�my lord�察�I cannot struggle。 I pass you
by�察 �I leave you gaping by the wayside�察�I blush to have a share
in the progeny of such an owl。 Off�察�off�察�and send the tapster��
MARQUIS。 Poor fellow��

BERTRAND。 Well��
MACAIRE。 Bitten。
BERTRAND。 Sold again。
MACAIRE。 Had he the wit of a lucifer match� �But what can gods
or men against stupidity�拭 �Still�察�I have a trick。 Where is that
damned old man��
DUMONT ��ENTERING��。 I hear you want me。
MACAIRE。 Ah�察�my good old Dumont�察�this is very sad。
DUMONT。 Dear me�察�what is wrong��
MACAIRE。 Dumont�察�you had a dowry for my son��
DUMONT。 I had�察�I have�此 �ten thousand francs。
MACAIRE。 It's a poor thing�察�but it must do。 Dumont�察�I bury my
old hopes�察�my old paternal tenderness。
DUMONT。 What�拭�is he not your son��
MACAIRE。 Pardon me�察�my friend。 The Marquis claims my boy。 I
will not seek to deny that he attempted to corrupt me�察�or that I
spurned his gold。 It was thirty thousand。
DUMONT。 Noble soul��
MACAIRE。 One has a heart 。 。 。 He spoke�察�Dumont�察�that proud
noble spoke�察�of the advantages to our beloved Charles�察�and in my
father's heart a voice arose�察�louder than thunder。 Dumont�察�was I
unselfish�拭 �The voice said no�察�the voice�察�Dumont�察�up and told me
to begone。
DUMONT。 To begone�拭�to go��
MACAIRE。 To begone�察�Dumont�察�and to go。 Both�察�Dumont。 To leave
my son to marry�察�and be rich and happy as the son of another�察�to
creep forth myself�察�old�察�penniless�察�broken´hearted�察�exposed to
the inclemencies of heaven and the rebuffs of the police。
DUMONT。 This is what I had looked for at your hands。 Noble�察�
nobleman��
MACAIRE。 One has a heart 。 。 。 and yet�察�Dumont�察�it can hardly
have escaped your penetration that if I were to shift from this
hostelry without a farthing�察�and leave my offspring to wallow ´
literally ´ among millions�察�I should play the part of little
better than an ass。
DUMONT。 But I had thought 。 。 。 I had fancied 。 。 。 。
MACAIRE。 No�察�Dumont�察�you had not�察�do not seek to impose upon my
simplicity。 What you did think was this�察�Dumont�此 �for the sake
of this noble father�察�for the sake of this son whom he denies for
his own interest ´ I mean�察�for his interest ´ no�察�I mean�察�for
his own ´ well�察�anyway�察�in order to keep up the general
atmosphere of sacrifice and nobility�察�I must hand over this dowry
to the Baron Henri´Frederic de Latour de Main de la Tonnerre de
Brest。
DUMONT。 Noble�察�O noble� 。� TOGETHER�此 �EACH SHAKING
BERTRAND。 Beautiful�察�O beautiful� 。� HIM BY THE HAND。
DUMONT。 Now Charles is rich he needs it not。 For whom could it
more fittingly be set aside than for his noble father�拭 �I will
give it you at once。
BERTRAND。 At once�察�at once��
