[Scratching his head--aside to PASQUINOT] Well, what
do you think?
PASQUINOT. Hm, what do you?
BERGAMIN. I think that we should do everything in the best possible
way, no expense spared. Let us give our young romancers something
they'll not soon forget. Let's have it with masks, dark mantles,
torches, music, and a sedan-chair!
STRAFOREL. [Taking notes] A first-class, then, with all extras.
BERGAMIN. That's it.
STRAFOREL. I shall return soon. [To PASQUINOT] Remember,
Monsieur, to leave open the door of your park to-night.
BERGAMIN. Very well, it shall be done.
STRAFOREL. [Bowing] My compliments. [Turning to go] One
first-class--with extras. [He goes out.]
PASQUINOT. The honest man, he went without telling us the price!
BERGAMIN. Everything is arranged. Now we'll live together, after
demolishing the wall.
PASQUINOT. And in winter we'll have but one hearth and home!
BERGAMIN. Our dearest wishes are about to be realized!
PASQUINOT. And we'll grow old together!
BERGAMIN. Dear old Pasquinot!
PASQUINOT. Dear old Bergamin! [They embrace. SYLVETTE and
PERCINET enter, from each side of the stage and, seeing their
fathers embrace]
SYLVETTE. Oh!
BERGAMIN.
