[SYLVETTE and PERCINET appear at the left, up stage, arm in arm.]
PASQUINOT. Sh—the lovers!
BERGAMIN. [Looking at them] See them! How they love each other!
Like the old pilgrims of love, they return each day to the sacred spot.
[The lovers, who have meantime disappeared, re-appear on the opposite side of the stage, and come down toward the old men.]
PASQUINOT. If they are talking as they usually do, their conversation will be well worth listening to!
[BERGAMIN and PASQUINOT retire behind a tree.]
PERCINET. I love you.
SYLVETTE. I love you. [They stop.] Here is the famous spot.
PERCINET. Yes. He fell here, that big fellow, pierced to the heart.
SYLVETTE. There was I, like Andromeda.
