DUPONT. Naturally! You don’t understand. You will later. [Julie comes in]. We were just speaking of you. I hear your husband’s business is shaky. Is it?
JULIE. I know nothing about it.
DUPONT. You know, I suppose, whether it is true that he got let in by the Bourdin failure?
JULIE. No.
DUPONT. Good Heavens! What on earth do you talk about, at meals, and so on?
JULIE. We don’t talk at all.
DUPONT. Still you must have noticed whether he was anxious and preoccupied, or whether he was in his usual spirits.
JULIE. I’ve no idea what his usual spirits are. I’ve only known him six months.
DUPONT. You’d better ask him how things are going at once.
JULIE. What’s the good?
