Quinola What is this, senor, Landlord of the Golden Sun? You don't seem to have much confidence in the star of my grandson? The Landlord A hostelry, senor, is not a banking house. Quinola No, but you should not, for charity's sake, have refused him bread. The most noble republic of Venice sent me to bring him to that city, but he is too fond of Spain! I return, as I arrived, secretly. I have nothing with me that I can dispose of excepting this diamond. A month from this time I will remit to you through the bank. Will you arrange with my grandson's servant for the sale of this jewel? The Landlord Your people here, senor, shall be treated like princes of wealth. Quinola You may go. (Exit landlord.) SCENE NINETEENTH The same persons, excepting the landlord. Quinola I must go and change my dress. (He looks at Fontanares) He sleeps; that noble heart has at last succumbed to its emotions; it is only we who know how to yield before misfortunes; our carelessness he cannot share. Have I not done well, in always obtaining a duplicate of that which he required? (To Monipodio) Here is the plan of the last piece; do you take charge of it. (Exeunt.) SCENE TWENTIETH Fontanares (sleeping), Faustine and Mathieu Magis. Mathieu Magis There he is! Faustine To what a plight have I reduced him! From the depth of the wounds which I have thus inflicted upon myself, I realize the depth of my love! Oh! how much happiness do I owe him in compensation for so much suffering! Curtain to the Third Act. ACT IV SCENE FIRST (The stage setting represents a public square. In the centre stands a sheriff's officer on an auctioneer's block, around the base of which are the various pieces for the machine. A crowd is gathered on each side of the platform. To the left of the spectator are grouped together Coppolus, Carpano, the landlord of the Golden Sun, Esteban, Girone, Mathieu Magis, Don Ramon and Lothundiaz. To the right are Fontanares and Monipodio; Quinola conceals himself in a cloak behind Monipodio.) Fontanares, Monipodio, Quinola, Coppolus, the landlord of the Golden Sun, Esteban, Girone, Mathieu Magis, Don Ramon, Lothundiaz, Sheriff's Officer, a crowd of people. Sheriff's Officer Gentlemen, show a little more warmth. Here we have a boiler, big enough to cook a dinner for a regiment of the guards. The Landlord Four maravedis. Sheriff's Office Do I hear more? Come and look at it, examine it! Mathieu Magis Six maravedis. Quinola (to Fontanares) Senor, they will not fetch a hundred ducats. Fontanares We must try to be resigned. Quinola Resignation seems to me to be the fourth theological virtue omitted from the list out of consideration for women! Monipodio Hold your tongue! Justice is on your track and you would have been arrested before this if they had not taken you for one of my people.
