the accompaniment of music; but the latest, most stylish, gayest of
all, is the sedan-chair abduction!

BERGAMIN. [Scratching his head--aside to PASQUINOT] Well, what
do you think?

PASQUINOT. Hm, what do you?

BERGAMIN. I think that we should do everything in the best possible
way, no expense spared. Let us give our young romancers something
they'll not soon forget. Let's have it with masks, dark mantles,
torches, music, and a sedan-chair!

STRAFOREL. [Taking notes] A first-class, then, with all extras.

BERGAMIN. That's it.

STRAFOREL. I shall return soon. [To PASQUINOT] Remember,
Monsieur, to leave open the door of your park to-night.

BERGAMIN. Very well, it shall be done.

STRAFOREL. [Bowing] My compliments. [Turning to go] One
first-class--with extras. [He goes out.]

PASQUINOT. The honest man, he went without telling us the price!

BERGAMIN. Everything is arranged. Now we'll live together, after
demolishing the wall.
