If my master becomes a miser where will we be?
Lucy:
He's of too prodigal a nature ever to turn miser. Has he given orders
for today's feast?
Roger:
Let's see. Three cooks arrived with their set ups. Leonard, the famous
Leonard marched at their head. The illustrious Florel has sent six
bottles of Champagne--he made it himself.
Lucy:
So much the better. I love expensive stuff--but here is Mr. Edward.
(Edward Townley enters from the house. He is youthful, open, and
expensively dressed.)
Edward:
Ha! Good day, my dear Lucy--how are things with you, child? And how is
your beautiful lady?
Lucy:
She's at home with Clarissa.
Edward:
Go, run, my dear Lucy: beg her to come here as soon as possible. I
have no happy moments except those I pass with her.
Lucy:
You two are made for each other. When you're not around she's bored to
death. She won't delay I promise you.
(Exit Lucy)
Roger:
Well, sir! You're really going to get married? Very soon you will have
finished your love affair and your money. Not the best way to finish
the business.
