COL. (_taking the chair from_ RUDOLPH) Your chair pray give me, author.
MAR. These foolish entr'actes merely make us s.h.i.+ver. Quickly!
RUD. (_taking another portion of the_ MS.) Here is the next act.
MAR. (_to_ COLLINE) Hus.h.!.+ not a whisper.
(RUDOLPH _tears up the_ MS. _and throws it into the fireplace; the flames revive._ COLLINE _moves his chair nearer and warms his hands._ RUDOLPH _is standing near the two with the rest of the_ MS.)
COL. How deep the thought is!
MAR. Color how true!
RUD. In that blue smoke my drama is dying Full of its love-scenes ardent and new.
COL. A leaf see crackle!
MAR. Those were all the kisses.
RUD. (_throwing the remaining_ MS. _on the fire_) Three acts at once I desire to hear.
COL. Only the daring can dream such visions.
RUD., MAR. and COL. Dreams that in flame soon disappear.
(_Applaud enthusiastically; the flame diminishes._)
MAR. Ye G.o.ds! see the leaves well-nigh perished.
COL. How vain is the drama we cherished.
MAR. They crackle! they curl up! they die!
MAR. and COL. The author--down with him, we cry.
(_From the middle door two boys enter, carrying provisions and fuel; the three friends turn, and with a surprised cry, seize the provisions and place them on the table._ COLLINE _carries the wood to the fireplace._)
RUD. Fuel!
MAR. Wine, too!
COL. Cigars!
RUD. Fuel!
MAR. Bordeaux!
RUD., MAR. and COL. The abundance of a feast day We are destined yet to know.
(_Exeunt the two boys_)
(_Enter_ SCHAUNARD.)
SCH. (_triumphantly throwing some coins on the ground_) Such wealth in the balance Outweighs the Bank of France.
COL. (_a.s.sisting_ RUDOLPH _and_ MARCEL _to pick up the coins_) Then, take them--then, take them.
MAR. (_incredulously_) Tin medals? Inspect them.
SCH. (_showing one to_ MARCEL) You're deaf then, or blear-eyed?
What face do they show?
RUD. (_bowing_) King Louis Philippe: to my monarch I bow.
RUD., MAR., SCH. and COL. Shall King Louis Philippe at our feet thus lie low?
(SCHAUNARD _will go on recounting his good luck, but the others continue to arrange everything on the table._)
SCH. Now I'll explain.
This gold has--or rather silver-- Has its own n.o.ble story.
MAR. First the stove to replenish.
COL. So much cold has he suffered,
SCH. 'Twas an Englishman, then-- Lord, or mi-lord, as may be-- Desired a musician.
MAR. (_throwing_ COLLINE'S _books from the table_) Off! Let us furnish the table.
SCH. I flew to him.
RUD. Where is the food?
COL. There.
MAR. Here.
SCH. I pay my homage.
Accepted, I enquire--
COL. (_preparing the viands on the table while_ RUDOLPH _lights the other candle_) Here's cold roast beef.
MAR. And savory patty.
SCH. When shall we start the lessons?
When I seek him, in answer to my question, "When shall we start the lessons?"
He tells me "Now--at once.
Just look there,"
