Vincent. Why, the old woman of course.

Thérèse. When?

Vincent. On Sundays.

Thérèse. While you go off for a run on the bicycle?

Vincent. Yes; it'll be a change for her. And at night I'll take her to see me play billiards. [With a change of tone] That's all settled, ain't it?

Thérèse. Indeed, it's not.

Vincent. Why not? Aren't you going to open a new workroom?

Thérèse. Your wife has no need to work.

Vincent. What's that got to do with you? You're taking on the others.

Thérèse. The others are in want.
