ANNETTE [going out] Yes, yes. I’ll go and put on my hat.
LUCIE [to Brignac] They want Annette to spend a few days with them in the country. Ought we to let her?
BRIGNAC. Why not? She wants to go. You know how fond she is of Gabrielle.
LUCIE. Yes; but Gabrielle has a brother.
BRIGNAC. Young Jacques. But he’s going to be married, my dear.
LUCIE. Is he?
BRIGNAC. Yes, yes, of course. [Annette comes in from the left] Make haste, Annette.
LUCIE. What does it matter if she’s five minutes late?
ANNETTE.. No—no—Where is my music?
