Roger. Have I offended you, without knowing it?
Suzanne. No, no,—I don’t know. I don’t understand. Please, let’s go away from here!
Roger. Suzanne!—I don’t understand!—I can’t see!
(The Duchess appears.)
Duchess. And do you know why? It is because neither of you can see what’s as clear as day! (She turns up the gas) There!
Roger. Aunt!
Duchess. My dear children, how happy you make me! Go on, kiss your bride!
Roger. (Not understanding at first) My bride—Suzanne! (He looks at his aunt, then at Suzanne) Ohh! It’s true,—I love her!
Duchess. (Joyously) Nonsense! Even when it’s as clear as day? (To Suzanne) And how about you?
Suzanne. (With downcast eyes) Oh, Aunt!
