Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux — Scene 5

5 MESROU, CARISE, EGLÉ EGLÉ (Sighing.):Ah! I'm bored already with him being gone. CARISE: Eglé, I come back and you seem upset, what’s happened? MESROU: Her eyes are brighter than usual. EGLÉ: That's because there's very big news; you think there’s only three of us, well let me tell you, there's four; I have got myself something that's been holding my hand, just now. CARISE: Who's been holding your hand, Eglé? Eh, why didn't you call for help? EGLÉ: Help with what? With how good it felt? I was quite alright with it holding it; I said it could; it was kissing it just as much as it could, and I've only got to call it back and it'll kiss it again just to please me. And itself. MESROU: I know who it is -- I thought I spotted him running off -- ; this something is called a man -- it's Azor; we know him. EGLÉ: "It’s Azor." Nice name! Dear Azor! Dear Man!! ... he’s just coming... CARISE: I'm not at all surpirsed he loves you and you love him; you were made for each other. EGLÉ: Exactly, that’s what we thought. (She calls him.) Azor, my Azor, come here, quickly, Man!
