This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on Hbrary shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

Cherubino. WTien the Count and Countess 
returned and the Count had wrung from his 
wife the confession that the page was there, 
half undressed, the sudden appearance of Su- 
sanna in the door of the apartment took both 
completely by surprise. But the Countess 
quickly gained her composure, and the two 
women now turned the tables upon the Count, 
who ruefully asked his wife's forgiveness for 
his unjust suspicions. The Countess granted 
it in good grace. Figaro came in, to accom- 
pany Susanna to the wedding. A little while 
after him, as his unlucky stars would have it, 
Antonio, the gardener, half intoxicated, carry- 
ing a couple of broken flower-pots, made his 
appearance in the room. ^ He insisted he must 
see his master. He wanted to lodge a com- 
plaint against some one who had jumped out 
of the window from the Countess' room, broken 
some of the flower-pots, and escaped through 
the garden. Figaro with great difficulty quieted 
the Count's newly arisen suspicions, by avow- 
ing himself the culprit. 

At this moment ^larcellina, duly accompa- 
nied' by her counsel, appeared and lodged a 
complaint with the Count against Figaro for 
breach of promise. Almaviva, inwardly re- 
joicing at the turn afl"airs took, and thinking 
to profit by it, evinced great interest in the 
case. When it came to the trial, however, it 
was discovered that Figaro was the child of 
Marcellina and Doctor Bartolo, by which 
timely discovery every obstac le to Figaro's and 
Susanna's union was removed. 

Accordingly the festivals took thtlr course. 
In the meanwhile Susanna, upon the advice of 
the Countess, and without the knowledge of 
her betrothed, carried on the intrigue originally 
plotted by Figaro. She sought an interview 
with the Count, and expressed her willingness 
to conform to his wishes. Afterwards she 
\\Tote a note to him — dictated by the Countess 
— appointing time and place of a meeting. Of 
this appointment Figaro — through the sim- 
plicity of a peasant girl, entrusted with the 
Count's answer to Susanna — got wind, and 
forth\nth collected a number of ^out villagers, 
who were to administer to the Count a sound 
cudgeling under cover of the darkness. 

When evening came round, the two ladies 



— the Countess dressed as Susanna, and Su- 
sanna as the Countess — repaired to the spot 
appointed in the letter, a secluded part of the 
park with a pavilion on either side. Figaro 
lay already in waiting, of which the ladies were 
well aware. Susanna then withdrew into the 
shade of the thicket, leaving her mistress alone 
waiting for the Count. 

Suddenly Cherubino came in, who, it seems, 
had made an appointment with Barbarina, the 
gardener's daughter, on the same spot. Mis- 
taking the Countess for Susanna, he dallied 
with her, kissing her much against her will, till 
at last the Count interfered, when the boy ran 
into the pavilion to the left, where Barbarina 
was already waiting for him. The Countess 
now received graciously the passionate words 
of her husband, intended for Susanna. Figaro, 
who was duped as much 'as the Count, then 
made a noise, and the Count sent the supposed 
Susanna into the pavilion on the right, expect- 
ing to join her ere long. Susanna mantiged to 
meet P'igaro. But the cunning barber soon 
looked through her disguise, and then took an 
active part in the joke, by addressing her as 
the Countess, in passionate language. This 
was well done, for the Count overheard him, 
and seized him l)V the collar. Susanna ran 
into the pavilion on the left. The Count then, 
without releasing his hold on Figaro, called 
his servants and guests, who came in large 
numbers with lights and torches, and bade 
them to be witnesses of his dishonor. After 
dis[)osing of Cherubino and Barbarina, who 
were also in the left-hand pavilion, he dragged 
out the suj)posed Coimtcss, who fell down on 
her knees ])efore him, im])luring his forgiveness. 
But the Count acted the enraged husband in 
good earnest. Suddenly the real Countess ap- 
peared from the pavilion on the right. Before 
the Count could fully realize his awkward 
j)osition, the Countess, with the assistance of 
Susanna and Figaro, hushed matters up, and 
hurried the witnesses of this most extraordinary 
denouement off to the festivities in honor of 
Figaro's marriage, which were ^oing on in the 
castle. The Count must be supposed to be 
forever healed from his jealousy, and become 
more faithfully attached than ever before to 
his Rosina.
