DUPONT. People say M. Maréchal has a great affection for M. Antonin.
MME. MAIRAUT. Yes.
MAIRAUT. Very great.
DUPONT. He is rich, too, people say.
MME. MAIRAUT. So they say.
MAIRAUT. However, we haven’t taken him into account, have we?
MME. DUPONT. Still, M. Maréchal would naturally leave everything to his nephew.
MAIRAUT & MME. MAIRAUT [together] Oh, certainly. We can promise that. He will leave him everything he has.
MME. DUPONT. M. Maréchal has considerable influence at the Prefecture, has he not?
