Have you seen him?
Lionnette.
No.
Nourvady.
It is, nevertheless, to see you, that he has come back here.
Lionnette.
No more than that I came here to meet him. We were living here; we are both going away, each his own way. We come to get what we want. It is evident that he and I would very much prefer, at this moment, to be somewhere else. It is you who ought not to be here; but, since this morning, it is strange we are all in places where we ought not to be. (To the Lady's Maid, who comes back.) That will do; put them down there.
(The maid, puts down a hat, gloves, and a travelling cloak, and goes away.)
