now?

How long have you been here?

DON JUAN. - I just arrived

And on the quiet - for I've not been pardoned.

LAURA. And instantly you recollected Laura?

So far so good. But stop! I don't believe you.

You happened to be passing through the street,

And saw my house.

DON JUAN. - NO, Laura, you can ask

My servant Leporello. I am lodging

Outside the city in a wretched tavern.

For Laura's sake I'm visiting Madrid. (Kisses her.)

LAURA. You are my darling!... Stop... not right

before

The dead man! Oh, what shall we do with him?

DON JUAN. Just leave him here - before the break of day,

I'll take him out enfolded in my cloak,

And place him on the cross-roads.

LAURA. - Only look

That no one sees you. 'Twas a stroke of luck

Your visit was not timed a minute sooner!

Your friends were supping here with me. They just

Had left. Suppose that you had found them here!

DON JUAN. HOW long, my Laura, have you loved him?

LAURA. - Whom?

You must be raving.

DON JUAN. - Laura, come, confess

How many times you've been unfaithful since

My absence?

LAURA. - What about yourself, you scapegrace?

DON JUAN. Come, tell me... No, we'll talk about it

later!...
