Though I feel "of course" could be justified as a phrase one says when reasoning things out - though in natural parlance, I think the phrase might sound better between "then" and "we." But that wouldn't work with the song at all. :-)
There's one awkward pause in Passion that's always bothered me. In the Flashback, the Colonel sings (of Count Ludovic) "one evening I invited him ---------------- home." In that pause, Fosca has another line ("he tipped his hat to me"), so it's clear that Sondheim didn't want to the 2 lines to overlap. But it leaves the Colonel with a huge hole in a sentence that doesn't seem to need one, with one abrupt word at the end. I don't feel that Sondheim does that kind of distorting a phrase very often, even for the sake of counterpoint. How does an actor justify that pause?
