LÉANDRE, OCTAVE, CARLE, SCAPIN. CAR Sir, I bring you very bad news concerning your love affair. LEA What is it now? CAR The gypsies are on the point of carrying off Zerbinette. She came herself all in tears to ask me to tell you that, unless you take to them, before two hours are over, the money they have asked you for her, she will be lost to you for ever.
LEA Two hours? CAR Two hours.
