"What is it, Signor Dottore?" said one of the fishermen. "I've left something, but never mind. It does not matter." He rode on again. "It does not matter," he repeated. He was thinking of the English signora standing beside the bed in her wet skirts and holding the hand of the weeping boy. It was the first time in his life that he had ever sacrificed a good cigar.
A bully called Truffaldino poses as a marchese and wins the affections of Colombina; Brighella is entrapped by a Donna Furlana into a promise of marriage; the Dottore finds himself engaged to cure half a dozen of the same sort of ladies of the maladies incident to their career; finally, Pantalone is claimed as their long-lost uncle, who was supposed to have abandoned them in their days of infant orphanage.

The second old man is il Dottore, who is a Bolognese, and a doctor of the University. Brighella and Arlecchino are both of Bergamo.
According to the plot of the play, Pantalone is an old merchant of Rimini who arrives in Venice with his family. Colombina is his daughter, and was played, of course, by Belviso; Arlecchino and Brighella are his simpleton sons they were the manager and myself. Il Nanno was Punchinello, his Neapolitan servant, Il Dottore his travelling physician.
"What is it? What do you want?" said the doctor, in a grumbling voice. "Is it another baby? Upon my word, these " "Signor Dottore, come down, come down instantly!
