SCENE IV.--THE COUNTESS, JULIA.

COUN. What trouble it gives me to have to teach such simpletons.

JU. I think them very fortunate to be under your discipline, Madam.

COUN. She is my nurse's daughter, whom I have made lady's-maid; the

post is quite new to her, as yet.

JU. It shows a generous soul, Madam, and it is glorious thus to form

people.

COUN. Come, some seats, I say! Here, little page! little page! little

page-boy! Truly, this is too bad not to have a page to give us chairs!

My maids! my page! my page! my maids! Ho! somebody! I really think

that they must be all dead, and that we shall have to find seats for

ourselves.
