MELNOTTE (taking snuff). You are complimentary. MADAME DESCHAP. For shame, cousin Damas ! —like the Prince, indeed ! PAULINE. Like you ! Ah,- mother, like bur beautiful Prince! I'll never speak to you again, cousin Damas. MELNOTTE {aside). Humph ! — rank is a. great beautifier ! I never passed for an Apollo while I was a peasant ; if I am so handsome as a prince, what should I be as an emperor? — (aloud) Monsieur Beau- seant, will you honour me ? (offers snuff.) BEAUSEANT. No, your Highness ; I... have no small vices. MELNOTTE. Nay, if it were a vice you'd be sure to have it. Monsieur Beauseant. MADAME DESCHAP. Ha ! ha ! — ^how very severe ! — what wit ! BEAUSEANT (in a rage and aside). Curse his impertinence ! MADAME DESCHAP. What a superb snuff-box ! PAULINE. And what a beautiful ring ! MELNOTTE. You like the box — a trifle — ^interesting perhaps from asso- ciations — a present from Louis XIV. to my great-great-grand- mother. Honour me by accepting it BEAUSEANT (plucking him by the sleeve).
