male · comedic · 50 sec

But my dear sister, did not you seduce me to this melancholy spot, on a promise that you would procure me an introduction to the rich widow, the charming Countess?--Interest first prompted my wishes, but since I have beheld her, it is love. (ISABEL: Beheld her!) Yes, beheld her--walking in her garden--sitting negligently in an arbor. (ISABEL: But how?--How contrive to see her?--) From the top of our house, through a telescope--but, my dear sister, do bring us a little nearer, or I'll purchase a speaking trumpet, and make love to her through it, though my passion be heard by every soul within a quarter of a mile.
