MME. DUPONT. Stupid! I should think you were. You have no more brains than a mule.

NURSE. I may be stupid, but I’m not—

MME. DUPONT [interrupting] You have no more heart than a stone. You are a wicked woman.

GEORGE. You’re no better than a thief.

NURSE. Oh, a thief am I? I should like to know why.

GEORGE. Because you’re trying to get money that isn’t yours.

MME. DUPONT. Because you are deserting our baby. You are a wicked woman.

GEORGE. Do you want me to put you out? [He takes her by the arm].

NURSE. Oh, that’s it, is it? So you want me to tell you why I’m going?
