enemies like a hunter on the watch.


SCENE SIXTH

The same persons and Quinola.


Quinola
I have only thirty doubloons left, but I have had the worth of sixty.
--Ah! what a lovely scent! The marchioness can now talk to me without
fear.

The Marchioness (pointing out Quinola)
Is this our man?

The Captain
Yes.

The Marchioness
Keep watch, my cousin, so that I may be able to talk without being
overheard. (To Quinola) Who are you, my friend?

Quinola (aside)
Her friend! As soon as you have a woman's secret, you are her friend.
(Aloud) Madame, I am a man superior to all considerations and all
circumstances.

The Marchioness
You have reached a pretty good height, at any rate.
