Our little daughter, Julie, is to sign her marriage contract this morning! It seems only yesterday that she was first brought to me in her nurse's arms. Enter Dr. Girodet, up r., looking at a document in his hand.' You have finished with the solicitor. Francois? Doctor. Yes. The marriage contract is quite correct, if it satisfies you. Thank heaven! I have had nothing to do with the document, except to save you the trouble of reading it over wdth the lawyers. Fonb. I am under great obligations to you, cousin. These business affairs always annoy me. Doctor. And the marriage of a young girl is a strictly " business" affair. The solicitor says that the Count de Crebillnn has insisted, to the last, that you told him Julie's dowry was to be six hundred and fifty thousand francs. Fonb. The Count assured me that the offer of his hand to my daughter was baed on that amount. Doctor. He threw in his heart for nothing. {Aside.) It's all it's wrorth! Fonb. I didn't care to insist on the difference between us; it was only fifty thousand francs. Doctor. It would be a pity for a stern father to blast an ardent lover's affection for so small an amount. (Gives Fonblanque the paper and turns away, r.) I suppose it has become my duty, at last, Phillippe-my formal and painful duty-to congratulate you on Julie's approaching marriage. Fonb. Your "painful" duty! You have persisted in opposing this union from the first. The Count de Crebillon's title is one of the oldest and most honorable in France. Doctor. His title? Yes. But the Count himself! Fonb. His ancestors- About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
