AR. I want to know... SGAN. Again! Will you hold your tongue, I say? VAL. To be brief: whatever be the consequence, Isabella has my solemn promise; I also have hers; if you consider everything, I am not so bad a match that you should blame her. AR. What he says is not... SGAN. Be quiet! I have a reason for it. You shall know the mystery. (_To Valére_). Yes, without any more words, we both consent that you shall be the husband of her who is at present in your house. MAG. The contract is drawn up in those very terms, and there is a blank for the name, as we have not seen her. Sign. The lady can set you all at ease by-and-by. VAL. I agree to the arrangement. SGAN. And so do I, with all my heart. (_Aside_). We will have a good laugh presently. (_Aloud)_. There, brother, sign; yours the honour to sign first. AR. But why all this mystery... SGAN. The deuce! what hesitation. Sign, you simpleton. AR. He talks of Isabella, and you of Léonor. |
