Nothing, I say. (PERCINET: Ah, that's too transparent. I see it all: you are thinking of our fathers!) Perhaps-- (PERCINET: Of their terrible hatred for each other.) The thought often pains me and makes me cry when I am alone. Last month, when I came home from the convent, my father pointed out your father's park, and said to me: "My dear child, you behold there the domain of my mortal enemy, Bergamin. Never cross the path of those two rascals, Bergamin and his son Percinet. Mark well my words, and obey me to the letter, or I shall cast you off as an enemy. Their family has always been at bitter enmity with our own." And I promised. But you see how I keep my word!
