To report the conversation, which by your desire I have had with Dupre. Alme. Has he told you what are my father's intentions? - for he alone is acquainted with every secret. Dub. True, sir. I know no servant, who is on so confidential a footing with his master. Alme. Well? Dub. I have obeyed your orders, sir, and have learnt every thing. Alme. - (Hastily.) - Doubtless my father - Dub. Honest Dupre is not easily prevailed upon to be communicative. Alme. That is immaterial. Tell me only - Dub. Besides, he is always so melancholy, that one might almost fancy he had a bad conscience. Alme. Dupre! - Impossible! - He is one of the most honest men on earth. So old a servant of my father! - But to the point - I insist upon it. Dub. Well, sir - last night, when all was quiet in the house, I went to Dupre under the pretext of wanting to light my candle. Of course we entered into conversation - so I slily adverted to your father's intentions respecting you, and learnt that your suspicions were unfortunately just, - that preparations are already making for your union with the Count d'Harancour's daughter. Alme. Heavens! Dub. The lady is not handsome, certainly, but she is the only daughter of the oldest nobleman in Toulouse - a man of the first consequence, who can give her an enormous furtune. Alme. What are to me his riches and his rank? - Would not one look from Clementina overbalance them? Dub. Miss Clementina is a most lovely creature, I allow, sir, but I would, nevertheless, advise you to abandon every idea of marrying her.
