DUPONT. In spite of my daughter’s refusal—
MME. MAIRAUT. In spite of her refusal.
DUPONT. In spite of what she has said to her husband?
MME. MAIRAUT. In spite of that, too.
DUPONT. In spite of anything she may do in the future?
MME. MAIRAUT. In spite of anything she may do. There is no question of a divorce and there never will be.
DUPONT. On your part, you mean?
MME. MAIRAUT. On yours also. We shall give you no grounds. My son is waiting for his wife to return to him. He is ready to receive her whenever she sees fit to present herself.
DUPONT. Whatever she does?
MME. MAIRAUT. Whatever she does.
