RODRIGO. That's all right and fine enough. But I don't think I'll be travelling off with her this evening. GESCHWITZ. You will let your bride journey all alone, after all? RODRIGO. In the first place, the old fellow's going with her to protect her in case anything serious-. My escort could only be suspicious. And secondly, I must wait here till my costumes are ready. I'll get across the frontier soon enough alright, -and I hope in the meantime she'll put on a little embonpoint, too. Then we'll get married, provided I can present her before a respectable public. I love the practical in a woman: what theories they make up for themselves are all the same to me.
