ANNETTE. Forgive me! Do you want me to be sorry I didn’t kill myself without telling you? Forgive me!
LUCIE [raising her] My dear, my dear! You’ve suffered too much not to be forgiven.
ACT II
The same scene. Evening. Electric light.
LUCIE. Now you know. I sent for you as soon as possible.
MADELEINE [who is in evening dress] There is only one thing to do. Tell your husband everything and make him go to the Bernins.
LUCIE. My God!
MADELEINE. The doctor is a long time with him. I absolutely must go to this party.
