4. à ton cœur à qui je parle, in modem French, à ton cœur que je parle.

Page 44. — 1. Je vois clair dans mon cœur. We are glad for Silvia that she now sees clearly in her heart.

2. l'événement m'en parait un songe, the event seems a dream to me. Poor Dorante! It is now he whom we pity. Silvia loves him and might relieve his distress with one word, but she is so

well pleased to see that Dorante loves her that she wishes to continue the imbroglio. Her coquetry is charming and excusable.

Page 45. — i. Allons, j'avais grand besoin que ce fût là Dorante, well I had great need that he should be Dorante. Silvia expresses again her joy on being relieved from an intolérable situation. It was absolutely necessary for her that the supposed valet should turn out to be Dorante.

2. je veux t'en tirer, I wish to relieve y ou from them (your anxieties). Mario regrets having distressed his sister and cornes to tell her about the disguise of Dorante. That the latter himself should hâve told Silvia is much more interesting. She is now overjoyed when she sees her brother.

3. De lui, of "him". The pronoun hère is much stronger than the name. There is no other lui for Silvia than Dorante.

4. Il faudra feindre m'aimer, you will hâve to prétend to love me. Silvia wishes to excite Dorante's jealousy to assure herself of his love, but we find her coquetry a little cruel. Perhaps it was very natural and féminine.
