Very well, I give you leave. Run away now, my child.
Raoul.
Good bye. (He goes away running.)
Lionnette.
And you go away like that? (Raoul bows again, and wants to go away. Lionnette shows him Richard.) And Mr. Richard? And your father, too?
(At each name mentioned Raoul passes to the person, who kisses him. One can see he is in a great hurry to run away. When he gets to John, the latter takes him in his arms and kisses him very warmly.)
John.
Don't be afraid, I am not going to crumple your collar. (He puts the child on the ground again, who tries afresh to escape.)
Lionnette (who during this time is serving the tea).
And me, Raoul.
