CAROLINE. I don’t know.
DUPONT. There remains commercial enterprize, trade. But do you know anyone engaged in trade who will let you put capital into his business?
CAROLINE. I think not.
DUPONT. We must put our heads together. I confess I can think of no one. Madame Grandjean?
CAROLINE. Father! Madame Grandjean is divorced. You know quite well I refused even to accept employment from her.
DUPONT. That is true. More fool you, by the way. Still—M. Darbout?
CAROLINE. He is a Protestant.
DUPONT. Well, then, I don’t see. There is no one, in fact.
CAROLINE. But you, father. If you would do it.
DUPONT. If I would do what? Manage it for you?
