Nineteen feet by twenty-six: a servant is measuring a bedroom on his wedding morning while his bride tries her hat at the glass, and it takes her about a minute to explain why the Count gave them this particular room. It is next to his, and he has decided to revive the old seigneurial right over Suzanne on her wedding night; Figaro's whole day becomes a war fought with doors, closets, forged letters and borrowed clothes.
What! Because you are a great Man, you fancy yourself a great Genius.
