Part 47 (2/2)

Co is sure, Corneille is now the fashi+on: takes the place Of Garnier, just as in our day felt hats Have replaced velvet _mortiers_

MONTPESAT

For Corneille I am, and for felt hats!

Gasse (_to Montpesat_)

You are too rash!+

[_To Villac_] Garnier is very fine I'ood points

VILLAC

Agreed!

ROCHEBARON

Agreed! He is a witty fellow and I like him!

BRICHANTEAU

He has no nobility!

ROCHEBARON

A name so commonplace offends the ear

BOUCHAVANNES

A fanawed at ducats 'til they obtained sous

[_L'Angely enters, seats himself at a table alone, and in silence He is dressed in black velvet with gold tri_

VILLAC

Well, if the public like his rhapsodies The day of tragic-comedy is past

I swear to you the theater is doomed

It is because this Richelieu--

Gasse (_looking across at L'Angely_)

Say, _lordshi+p_, Or else speak lower

BRICHANTEAU

hell take this eminence!

Is't not enough to ?

To rule our soldiers, finances, and us, Without controlling our poor language too?

BOUCHAVANNES
