Cadwell: And I--I don't want to listen to you. L. Gent.: And I--I have no desire to say anything further, either. Bendish: The good little messenger. Cadwell: Are my porters below? Bendish: Yes, sir. Cadwell: Follow me. CURTAIN ACT IV. The same. Later that day. Jenny: Go on, go on, fear nothing. Laura is beginning to open her eyes. Our man will soon be taken, I tell you. Worthy: I am more afraid than ever. Olivia: Frankly, I have trouble persuading myself that your plan will succeed. All that's happened will make him more careful. Jenny: Him! It will make him more crazy. You don't know much about human nature. He's counting right now that he can make Laura believe black is white. Experience will only make him more bold. You will see if I don't know people. Worthy: If you can make me happy with your cunning, believe that-- Jenny: Stop, you owe me nothing for whatever I do. I do it only because I want to do it. It's a natural bent I have to ruin all these little animals with beautiful manners and cold hearts. Ah, if all women were like me! I am furious when I think that they cause more honest men to be shunned, with their devilish jargon, their oaths, and endless tricks and rascalities. It puts me in a whopping rage. Worthy: Your man is warned. Jenny: He is instructed in what he must do. Olivia: He is not a man to be won over by money? Jenny: Oh, as to that I cannot say. I don't know if the mediocrity of his fortune and the natural desire to acquire money wouldn't tempt him from an untested probity. But there is a remedy for that. Promise to pay him only if all goes well and you will see that he will manage it. Worthy: As to that, Jenny, he can be assured. Where is he? Jenny: He's waiting in the Park for me to send for him. Worthy: I will go there myself. Jenny: You will do well. (Exit Worthy) Olivia: I won't hide from you, Jenny, that I wouldn't get involved in this for anything or anyone but my brother. I don't like doing wrong. Jenny: You were not so scrupulous this morning. Olivia: I admit that and I don't know why. Jenny: I do. Olivia: Why? Jenny: You want me to say it? Olivia: Yes. Jenny: It's because he told you he loved you. Olivia: Yes, I admit it. If only his heart agreed with his manners. Jenny: (interrupting) Already more than half the way is taken. On my word, I thought I was speaking with a reasonable person, but I see that-- Olivia: How you twist things around! Jenny: Eh! My God, I understand that talk "his heart agreed with his manners." There's the jargon about which I was just speaking to you. Olivia: How crazy you are! Jenny: I am not crazy; I know what I'm talking about. (Enter Laura) Laura: (to Olivia) Well, madam, again you bring me to the point of being disabused. Alas, when will you disoblige me by proving that Cadwell is unfaithful? Jenny: There's time remaining in the day.
