MAURICE. And why should he be, when he knows that my feelings are tied up elsewhere?
HENRIETTE. Perhaps he didn't trust the stability of your feelings.
MAURICE. I can't understand that, seeing that I am notorious for my constancy.
ADOLPHE. Well, it wasn't that—
HENRIETTE. [Interrupting him] Perhaps that is because you have not faced the fiery ordeal—
ADOLPHE. Oh, you don't know—
HENRIETTE. [Interrupting]—for the world has not yet beheld a faithful man.
MAURICE. Then it's going to behold one.
HENRIETTE. Where?
MAURICE. Here.
