POTIPHAR. (_gloomily_) I believe I'm to take her out in the chariot. MADAM POTIPHAR. You don't begrudge my guest that much of your attention, do you? You know I cannot bear to ride behind those wild horses of yours. And she said she wanted to see the city. POTIPHAR. Oh--I'll go. But I must see to my chariot. (_He claps his hands. A servant appears, and bows deeply_.) Send Joseph here at once. _With another deep bow, the slave disappears. A pause_. MADAM POTIPHAR. Now you know what it is to have your slave off attending to some business of his own when you want him. POTIPHAR. (_annoyed_) Where can he be? _Enter Joseph_. JOSEPH. (_ignoring Madam Potiphar, and making a slight bow to Potiphar_) Here I am, sir. POTIPHAR. (_after a triumphant glance at his wife_) Have my chariot made ready for me, will you? JOSEPH. It will give me great pleasure to do so, sir. _He bows slightly, and goes out_. MADAM POTIPHAR. Did you notice his insolence? |
