MARCELINE There you are! The ever-lasting doctor! Always so grave and formal that one might die waiting for your help just as a certain person once got married in spite of all your precautions.
BARTHOLO Nasty-minded and spiteful as ever! Anyhow, why is my presence required at the castle? Has my Lord the Count had some mishap?
MARCELINE No, Doctor.
BARTHOLO Rosine, his deceitful Countess, is perhaps unwell, Heaven be praised!
MARCELINE She’s listless, languishing, pining away.

MARCELINE Ah, what a satisfaction it will be!
BARTHOLO To punish a scoundrel.
MARCELINE To marry him, Doctor! To marry him!
