SCA. Ah, well, it will be on my shoulders, and not on yours.

SIL. It is true that you are master of your own shoulders, and at
liberty to dispose of them as you please.

SCA. Such dangers never stop me, and I hate those fearful hearts
which, by dint of thinking of what may happen, never undertake

ZER. (_to_ SCAPIN). But we shall want you.

SCA. Oh, yes! but I shall soon be with you again. It shall never be

betraying myself, and of revealing secrets which it were better
should not be known.




SCENE II.--GERONTE, SCAPIN.

GER. Well! Scapin, and how have we succeeded about my son's
mischance?

SCA. Your son is safe, Sir; but you now run the greatest danger
imaginable, and I sincerely wish you were safe in your house.

GER. How is that?
