"What's the matter my darling Claud, you don't seem to have been yourself recently? Where's the man I grew to love all those months ago, the carefree fellow who looked life straight on and raised a smile to all who met him"?
"Sigh....it's not easy Hugolina...I mean what is it all actually about? Everywhere I look these popinjays are ascending the social ladder, grabbing themselves a host of positions and jobs while I'm stuck here amongst a group of prancing woofters in tights dishing out a load of drivel to the mindless masses"!
"What....Claud....are you serious I thought you loved your profession, the stage, the audiences, the adoration".
"Adoration...pah...from a load of peasants seeking to erase the drudgery of their meaningless, poverty stricken lives who would cheer at any weak excuse for laugh. No, Hugolina this is not the life for a true man where's the glory, where's the kudos, where's the money?!! All I keep reading in that wretched newspaper is reports of others feathering their nests while I remain stuck here, powdering my face, donning wigs and pretending a few claps and cheers is a fitting reward. Well, sod that, I'll get this last Opera nonsense out of the way and then focus on something worthwhile for once. I mean for Christ's sake look at what stands as the Parisian elite today, a shambolic bunch of losers who aren't fit to grace a tavern let alone His Majesty's Court.
No, screw this rubbish it's time for Claud D'Applaud to make himself known amongst the nobility, time for Claud to get himself a proper job worthy of his status. I quite fancy that Commissioner of Public Safety's post to be honest, a position of power over the rabble! The right to arrest the wretches and bring 'em before the Courts, that's the role for me and that's where I'm heading. Now you can come with me on the journey Hugolina or you can bugger off! To be honest you may have a few bob to your name but you're not much to look at, basically I've been carrying you for the last few months and you've risen up the social scale thanks to me but I could do better. However I'm not a cruel man so I am prepared to stick with you, give you a chance to prove yourself, start using some of that influence you have in my favour".
"Oh Claud, how could you be so cruel what terrible tings to say to me but I love you and I'll do whatever I can to please you my love. Ok, lets go and get you some proper respect and that Commissioner's job my darling and then we can start rounding those traitors and criminals up"!
