There he is found by a sportively inclined Count and his friend. Polidor is carried to the Count's house, and put to bed in a sumptuous room. When he awakes he finds himself surrounded by obsequious servants. Then he is informed that a high barn lady is waiting for him in the drawing room. Thither Polidor repairs, and is delighted by the interest the lady takes in him. An interruption of an alarming nature occurs when the lady's supposed father (the Count in another disguise) enters and challenges Polidor to fight, on the ground of stealing his daughter's affections. But in the end the Count relents, and a betrothal ceremony is fixed. Here Polidor soon becomes incapacitated again, and is placed on a seat in the street. When he wakes it is to find himself in the grip of two Policemen. Written by
