Lionnette.
No, I beg of you. (Richard walks towards the room.) I do not wish it.
(The Footman appears.)
The Footman.
Mr. Nourvady would like to know if the Countess de Hun can receive him.
Lionnette (in a natural tone.)
Certainly! (To Richard.) Good bye, my dear Mr. Richard ... I will write if I have any instructions to give you. My kind regards to your wife ... if she knows nothing yet.
Richard.
Do not remain long here, that will be more prudent.
Lionnette.
