Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adrienne Lecouvreur: A Play, in Five Acts Prin. You don´t mean to say so? Ab. It´s the news of the day; all our world knows it, excepting you, and as you might appear ridiculous in our world were you to remain ignorant of it, I found courage to inform you - Prin. That the Prince has given her a carriage and diamonds. Ab. Quite true. Prin. And a villa? Ab. True again. Prin. Just beyond the Boulevards, at La Grange Bateliére. Ab. What! Princess, you knew it then? Prin. Long before you - (rises) - long before your world. Listen to me, my pretty Abbé. This for your instruction! M. de Bouillon, my husband, although a great nobleman, is a learned man; he adores the arts, and he revels in the sciences. He acquired this practice under the last régime. Ab. From inclination? Prin. No. To pay his court to the Regent, whose exact counterpart he strove to become, and in his efforts to imitate as faithfully as possible, he took care not to forget the gallantry of his hero. I was not excessively displeased an this. A lady can always call her time much more her own when her husband is occupied. And so that mine, though faithless, should still remain dependent upon me, I forgave Mademoiselle Duclos, who did nothing without my orders and kept me informed of everything. These were the terms on which she enjoyed my protection; you see that I kept my word. Ab. Excellent! Admirable! But, Princess, what do you gain by it? Prin. What do I gain by it? My husband, fearing discovery, trembles before the grand-daughter of Sobiesky, in case she might suspect - and I do suspect when I want to. What do I gain by it? Formerly he was very niggardly, now he refuses me nothing. (sits on couch) Does a light dawn upon you? Ab. Oh, yes, yes! I see. Prin. Your world then may pity me, and sigh about my position. And now, my dear Abbé, if you have nothing else to tell me - Ab. Oh, yes, madam, something else - Prin. Something else?
