DOCTOR. I will come and see her. [To Madame Dupont] We will finish what we were saying presently.
MME. DUPONT. Very well. Do you want the nurse?
DOCTOR. No, thank you.
The doctor goes out.
MME. DUPONT. Nurse, just wait a minute. I want to speak to you. [In an undertone to her son] I know how we can manage. If we warn her and she agrees to stay, the doctor will have nothing more to say, will he?
GEORGE. I suppose not.
MME. DUPONT. I will promise her two thousand francs when she goes if she consents to stay on as wet-nurse.
GEORGE. Is that enough, do you think?
MME. DUPONT. At any rate I will try. If she hesitates I will make it more.
GEORGE. All right.
