_ ACT IV - SCENE SIXTH The same persons and Joseph.
ALL. Whatever can be the matter? JOSEPH. M. Antoine, your footman, is bringing Pamela here. ROUSSEAU. Has anything happened? JOSEPH. When she saw the jury come in to give their verdict she was taken ill! Her father and mother, who were in the crowd at the other end of the court, couldn't stir. I cried out, and the presiding judge made them put me out of court! MME. ROUSSEAU. But Jules! My son! What did the jury say? JOSEPH. I know nothing! I had no eyes except for Pamela. As for your son, I suppose he is all right, but first with me comes Pamela-- DE VERBY. But you must have seen how the jury looked! JOSEPH. Oh, yes! The foreman of the jury looked so gloomy--so severe--that I am quite persuaded-- (He shudders.) MME. ROUSSEAU. My poor Jules! JOSEPH. Here comes Antoine and Mlle. Pamela. _ |
