I have found her again. Firm. Whom? Charl. Charlot. Since I have been in Paris, I have sought her in vain in all public places--and the first time I enter your office, I have the good fortune to meet her. Firm. But how then? Charl. Just imagine! This excellent young lady, whom I visited in Colmar at her aunt's--this Charlot, whom I love, and shall ever love--is the daughter!--Firm. Of whom? Charl. Of your chief, the new minister--I knew her only by the name of Charlot. The Parasite. 1 Firm. She is the daughter? Charl. Of Mr. de Narbonne. Firm. And you love her still? Charl. More than ever, father! She has not recognised me, I think. I was just about to salute her, when you entered.--And it is well that you interrupted me! For what could I have said to her! My confusion must have become perceptible to her, and betrayed my feelings.--I am no longer master of myself. Since the six months which I have been separated from her, she has been my only thought--she is the source, the soul of my poems.--The applause they have gained for me is due to her alone; for my love is the God that inspires me.
