Paul. Then I’ll kiss you!

Jeanne. (Defending herself) Paul! Paul!

(Kisses are heard.)

Duchess. (Astonished; rising) What’s this? Are they kissing?

Lucy. Someone—someone’s there!

Bellac. Come, take my hand!

Lucy. There’s someone listening! I’m sure!

Bellac. Come!

Lucy. I’m fearfully compromised! (She goes out at the back, left)
