Marie. Marc, don't talk so, you'll frighten Jeannette.

Marc. Well, perhaps it's true.

Pierre. I wouldn't be very sorry.

Marie [horrified]. Oh, you bad boy.

Pierre. Well, of course I don't want her to be hurt.

Marc. But we wouldn't care much if she didn't come back.

Marie. Boys, how can you be so naughty?
