Duchess. (Aside) Come, come!—Sst!

Roger. Well, I might as well learn what I can!—Ssst!

Duchess. Well!

Suzanne. He thinks I’m Lucy!—Oh, I should like to know what he’d say to her!

Roger. (In an undertone) Is it you?

Suzanne. (Softly) Yes! (Aside; resolutely) I’ll do it!

Roger. She thinks I’m Bellac!

Duchess. Ahh!—Good! They’re off! (She disappears behind the plants at the back, left)

Roger. Did you get my letter?

Suzanne. (Aside—angrily) Yes, I got your letter! I got it! And you had no idea that I did, either! (To Roger; sweetly) How else should I have come to meet you?
