SCENE IV CLOTILDE—SIDOINE
Isaac Goldberg translation
Sidoine—I took sweet revenge.
Clotilde—Wicked creature! Wicked!
Sidoine—Yes, I went a bit too far, perhaps! But you set me such a good example.
Clotilde—You were more cruel than I.
Sidoine—Not at all. Reality is what we feel to be real.
Clotilde—An innocent sham.
Sidoine—I, too.
Clotilde—Is that true? Tell me. Is it true?
Sidoine—A sham.
Clotilde—Is that true, wicked man? She was crying, too....
Sidoine—Very well, then, cry in your turn.
Clotilde—Ah! You love me, you love me, you do.
