SCENE III.——GORGIBUS, GROS-RENÉ.
Charles Heron Wall translation
Gor. Go quickly and fetch the doctor for my daughter who is very ill; make haste!
Gr.-Re. Why the deuce do you think of giving your daughter in marriage to an old man? Don't you see that it is the longing she has for a young one that makes her ill? See the attraction there is, &c. 1
Gor. Go quickly! I am greatly afraid that the wedding will have to be put off on account of this illness.
Gr.-Re. That is what vexes me, for I was looking forward to a good round bellyfull, and now I have to do without it. 2 Yes, yes, I'll go to fetch the doctor, but it is as much for my own sake as for your daughter's. I am dreadfully disappointed. (Exit Gros-René.)
