Oh! Tous sont au comble de la douleur dans cette tragédie inhumaine! L’un est victime d’un père qui veut lui donner sa fille (fort jolie d’ailleurs) de force, l’autre menace de se jeter par la fenêtre si cette charmante le refuse. Hélas! Elle veut marier cet homme ! … pourquoi diable veut-il alors se jeter par la fenêtre ? Ah! Affreux suspense….
