Yes my uncle, my virtuous uncle, I was a spendthrift, gambler, seducer, I had many faults, in a word I was frivolous… but you’re ill, very ill, the doctors have abandoned you… I’ve come to aid you, to fall at your feet, I’ll swear… anything you like… I’ll only leave you at death, my kind uncle, my so excellent uncle! Let’s embrace and put an end to it. (Macaire, sole inheritor, has his dear uncle thrown into a common pit).
