LUCIE [to Josephine] Shew Madame Bernin in.
ANNETTE [to Lucie] Don’t be long.
Annette goes out with Madeleine. Lucie arranges herself before a glass. Josephine shews in Madame Bernin.
LUCIE. How do you do?
MME. BERNIN. How are you?
LUCIE. Very well, thank you. And you?
MME. BERNIN. I need not ask news of M. Brignac. I know he is busy fighting the good fight.
LUCIE. And M. Bernin?
MME. BERNIN. He’s very well, thanks. I hope your children—
LUCIE. About the same. But won’t you sit down?
