Synopsis
Armande. Quoi ? Le beau nom de fille est un titre, ma soeur, dont vous voulez quitter la charmante douceur, et de vous marier vous osez faire fete ? Ce vulgaire dessein vous peut monter en tete ? Henriette. Oui, ma soeur. Armande. Ah ! Ce " oui " se peut-il supporter, et sans un mal de coeur sauroit-on l'ecouter ? Henriette. Qu'a donc le mariage en soi qui vous oblige, ma soeur... ? Armande. Ah, mon Dieu ! Fi ! Henriette. Comment ? Armande. Ah, fi ! Vous dis-je. Ne concevez-vous point ce que, des qu'on l'entend, un tel mot a l'esprit offre de degoutant ? De quelle etrange image on est par lui blessee ? Sur quelle sale vue il traine la pensee ? N'en frissonnez-vous point ? Et pouvez-vous, ma soeur, aux suites de ce mot resoudre votre coeur ? Henriette. Les suites de ce mot, quand je les envisage, me font voir un mari, des enfants, un menage ; et je ne vois rien la, si j'en puis raisonner, qui blesse la pensee et fasse frissonner.
