(Exit Frontin)
ARAMINTE: Let's quickly send a lackey to Valere. But what do I see! My
sister returning from the notary. She's going to be irritated about
the money I've taken out. He's just informed her.
(Enter Belise. They don't speak to each other at first.)
BELISE: Yes, my sister is going to see the Notary. She's going to
guess the mystery.
ARAMINTE: I see she's upset. Oh, I hear her rage. Where shall I tell
her I intend to place the money?
BELISE: Ah, I see that she knows it. What it will cost me to say that
this money is for my marriage?
ARAMINTE: Sooner or later my sister must confide in me.
BELISE: I tremble. Dare I make her my full confidante? Let's try.
Let's talk to her.
ARAMINTE: (aloud) Sister.
BELISE: (aloud) Sister, I think-- (aside) Oh, fear seizes me!
ARAMINTE: (aside) Shame smothers my voice.
BELISE:(aloud) To put money when the law--
ARAMINTE: When one disposes of joint funds by oneself--
BELISE: One ought to warn of taking it, but one dares not--
ARAMINTE: One ought to confide in her sister.
