Lucas
Let's see that.
Girard (turning the list to the other side)
With pleasure. Let's see.
Lucas
Eh! I can't see anything that way.
Girard (turning the other side even worse)
Let's read. Let's see. Ah!
(Girard is moving and raising and lowering the paper so Lucas can't see.)
Lucas (with a little joy)
What is it? Show me then, friend.
Girard No. I was mistaken. But, hum, hum. I hope— (letting Lucas see the paper) God, I don't see a thing.
Lucas Ah, by God, I see. Let's see quickly there, Girard. I see something about me.
Girard (hiding the list)
No, it's nothing at all.
Lucas (joyfully)
And I have seen. My name is there!
