We must bring matters to a head! (He rubs his hands.) Ha, ha! Now we can do as we had planned-- (PASQUINOT: Yes, and tear down the wall.) And live together. (PASQUINOT: Joining our properties.) By marrying our children. But I wonder whether they would be so anxious if they knew we wished it? A marriage arranged beforehand is not so tempting to two young children so romantic as ours. That is why we kept our own wishes a secret. I felt sure that after they had been separated--Sylvette in the convent, Percinet at school--they would thrive on their secret love. That is how I came to invent this hatred of ours. And you even doubted its success! Now all we have to do is to say Yes.
