ACT I.
LISETTE, Lisette, who do you think I have just seen.
Your old guardian I suppose.
Do you think I should look thus pleasant if it was he I meant?
Who then, our jailor who keeps the keys?
What poor Jeffrey, ha, ha, ha!—how you talk.
No, no, I guess who you mean, the young Marquis De Lancy, and he has passed so frequently under your window within these few days, that I am amazed your guardian, with all his suspicions, has not observed him.
He has walked by above ten times within this hour, and every time with his eyes fixed up to the lattice of my window, and I had no heart to remove from it, for every time he saluted me with the most respectful bow.
Was his valet with him?
No, but I saw another person in deep con|versation with him, a strange looking man, who appeared like one of the faculty, for his dress very much resembled that of my guardian's.
