Carlo Goldoni - The Comedies of Carlo Goldoni

Cost. Why do you say so, sir?

Phil. Because you are letting Mademoiselle go away without taking notice of her – without one word of civility.

Cost. Indeed, he has said but few.

De la Cot. [ To Philibert.] I ought not to abuse the privilege you have given me.

Phil. [ Aside. ] I understand. – Giannina, a word with you.

Gian. Yes, sir?

Phil. [ Aside to Giannina.] It is not right for a young lady to thrust herself between two lovers in this manner; on account of you, they cannot speak two words to each other.

Gian. [ To Philibert.] They spoke in whispers together.

Phil. [ To De la Cotterie.] Well, if you have anything to say to her —

De la Cot. There will be time enough, sir.

Phil. [ To Giannina.] Attend to me.

Cost. [ Aside to De la Cotterie.] At least assure me of your affection.

De la Cot. [ Aside to Costanza.] Excuse me, Mademoiselle. [Giannina coughs aloud .] [ Aside. ] I am exceedingly embarrassed.

Cost. [ Loud enough for all to hear. ] Is it possible you will not say once that you love me?

Gian. [ To Costanza, with asperity .] How many times do you want him to tell you so? Did he not say so before me?
