BRIGNAC. Good bye. [He goes out].
MADELEINE. Annette not back yet?
LUCIE. She won’t be long now.
MADELEINE. Lucie, don’t you think perhaps she goes rather too often to the Bernins?
LUCIE. Gabrielle’s her best friend.
MADELEINE. Hm, yes.
LUCIE. They’re both so keen on music. Besides, the poor little dear doesn’t get too much fun. It’s dull for her here. I can see she feels it, particularly lately. She only brightens up when she goes to see Gabrielle.
MADELEINE. Yes; but that girl has a brother.
LUCIE. Jacques.
MADELEINE. Just so; Jacques.
