Mme. de Céran. But Roger’s conduct has disturbed me! I have never seen him act that way. What are you doing there, Aunt?
Duchess. I’m stopping the water so that I can hear better, my dear.
Mme. de Céran. Why?

Mme. de Céran. He is in the garden somewhere—following her, watching for her. What will happen?—Oh, the poor little thing!—Why, Duchess! You are putting out the gas!
Duchess. No, I’m only turning it down.
Mme. de Céran. Why?
Duchess. So that I can see better, my dear!
Mme. de Céran. So—?
Duchess. Heavens, the less we are seen the more we’ll see. Three headaches,—and only one rendezvous! Aren’t you beginning to see, my dear?
