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��


SCENE V

MACAIRE�察�TO WHOM BERTRAND。  AFTERWARDS DUMONT

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��

MACAIRE ��ASIDE TO BERTRAND��。  Hang on。  ��ALOUD。��  Charles��

ENTERS THE OFFICE�察�AND BRINGS DOWN CASH´BOX TO TABLE R。  HE FEELS
IN ALL HIS POCKETS�此 �BERTRAND FROM BEHIND HIM MAKING SIGNS TO
MACAIRE�察�WHICH THE LATTER DOES NOT SEE。��

DUMONT。  That's strange。  I can't find the key。  It's a patent
key。

BERTRAND ��BEHIND DUMONT�察�MAKING SIGNS TO MACAIRE��。  The key�察�he 
can't find the key。

MACAIRE。  O yes�察�I remember。  I heard it drop。  ��DROPS KEY。��  And
here it is before my eyes。

DUMONT。  That�拭 �That's yours。  I saw it drop。

MACAIRE。  I give you my word of honour I heard it fall five
minutes back。

DUMONT。  But I saw it。

MACAIRE。  Impossible。  It must be yours。

DUMONT。  It is like mine�察�indeed。  How came it in your pocket��

MACAIRE。  Bitten。  ��ASIDE。��

BERTRAND。  Sold again ��ASIDE�� 。 。 。 。 You forget�察�Baron�察�it's the
key of my valise�察�I gave it you to keep in consequence of the
hole in my pocket。

MACAIRE。  True�察�true�察�and that explains。

DUMONT。  O�察�that explains。  Now�察�all we have to do is to find
mine。  It's a patent key。  You heard it drop。

POCKET。��  An idea�此 �suppose you felt in your pocket��

ALL ��RISING��。  Yes�  �Suppose you did��

DUMONT。  I will not feel in my pockets。  How could it be there�拭 �
It's a patent key。  This is more than any man can bear。  First�察�
Charles is one man's son�察�and then he's another's�察�and then he's 
nobody's�察�and be damned to him�  �And then there's my key lost��
and then there's your key�  �What is your key�拭 �Where is your key�拭�
Where isn't it�拭 �And why is it like mine�察�only mine's a patent�拭 �
