_Mons._ I would no more tell him of it than I would tell you if I had been with a wench, _jarni!_ [_Aside._]--She's afraid to be killed, poor wretch, and he's a capricious, jealous fop enough to do't:--but here he comes.--[_To_ HIPPOLITA.] I'll keep thy counsel, I warrant thee, my dear soul, _mon petit cœur._ _Hip._ Peace! peace! my father's coming this way. _Mons._ Ay, but by his march he won't be near enough to hear us this half hour, ha! ha! ha! [Don DIEGO _walks leisurely round_ Monsieur, _surveying him, and shrugging up his shoulders, whilst_ Monsieur _makes legs and faces aside._ _Don._ Is that thing my cousin, sister? _Mrs. Caut._ 'Tis he, sir. _Don._ Cousin, I am sorry to see you-- _Mons._ Is that a Spanish compliment? _Don._ So much disguised, cousin. _Mons._ [_Aside._] Oh! is it out at last, _ventre?_--[_To_ Don DIEGO.]--_Serviteur, serviteur, à monsieur mon oncle;_ and I am glad to see you here within doors, most Spanish _oncle_, ha! ha! ha! but I should be sorry to see you in the streets, _tête non!_ _Don._ Why so?--would you be ashamed of me, hah--_voto á St. Jago!_ would you? hauh-- _Mons._ Ay; it may be you would be ashamed yourself, _monsieur mon oncle_, of the great train you would get to wait upon your Spanish hose, puh--the boys would follow you, and hoot at you--_vert_ and _bleu!_ pardon my Franch _franchise, monsieur mon oncle._ _Hip._ We shall have sport anon, betwixt these two contraries. [_Apart to_ PRUE. _Don._ Dost thou call me "monsieur?" _voto á St. Jago!_ _Mons._ No, I did not call you Monsieur Voto á St. Jago! Sir, I know you are my uncle, Mr. James Formal--da-- _Don._ But I can hardly know you are my cousin, Mr. Nathaniel Paris.--But call me, sir, Don Diego henceforward, look you, and no monsieur. Call me monsieur! _guarda!_ _Mons._ I confess my error, sir; for none but a blind man would call you monsieur, ha! ha!--But, pray, do not call me neder Paris, but de Paris, de Paris, (_s'il vous plait,_) Monsieur de Paris. Call me monsieur, and welcome, da-- _Don._ Monsieur de Pantaloons then, _voto_-- _Mons._ Monsieur de Pantaloons! a pretty name, a pretty name, _ma foi!_ da--_bien trouvé_ de Pantaloons! how much better den your de la Fountaines, de la Rivieres, de la Roches, and all the _de's_ in France--da--well; but have you not the admiration for my pantaloon, Don Diego, _mon oncle?_ _Don._ I am astonished at them, _verdaderamente_, they are wonderfully ridiculous. _Mons._ Redicule! redicule! ah--'tis well you are my uncle, da--redicule! ha--is dere any ting in the universe so _gentil_ as de pantaloons? any ting so _ravissant_ as de pantaloons? Auh--I could kneel down and varship a pair of _gentil_ pantaloons. Vat, vat, you would have me have de admiration for dis outward skin of your thigh, which you call Spanish hose, fi! fi! fi!--ha! ha! ha! _Don._ Dost thou deride my Spanish hose, young man, hauh?
