LUCIE. Then that’s what you’re proposing to do?
BRIGNAC. That’s what we must do.
LUCIE. How does one get into these places you were speaking of?
BRIGNAC. I don’t know exactly. I’ll find out. Don’t worry. If necessary, I’ll go to Paris and take the proper steps. Of course without saying that it’s to do with anyone I know.
LUCIE. Of course.
BRIGNAC. Of course.
LUCIE [rising and touching him on the shoulder as she passes] You are a fine fellow.
BRIGNAC [modestly] Oh, come; only a little thought was wanted.
LUCIE. I think you have no conscience at all.
BRIGNAC. What do you mean? You speak as if I were a monster.
