MME. DUPONT. Well, I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere. Besides, at your age one doesn’t speak of those things any longer.
JULIE. Talking of that, you know Henriette Longuet?
MME. DUPONT. Yes.
JULIE. She is going to be married.
MME. DUPONT. Indeed?
JULIE. Yes. [Thoughtfully] I’m the last to go.
MME. DUPONT. The last go off best. What a week this is for marriages! Courthezon brought me an announcement just now which I kept to show you. Where is it? Ah, here it is. [Hands it to her].
JULIE [after looking at it, sadly] That finishes it!
MME. DUPONT. What do you mean?
CAROLINE. What is it, Julie?
