Féliat. Good.
Guéret. Three days isn't the end of the world. I think I can promise you to keep my men as long as that.
Féliat. If it's absolutely necessary, one might make them some little concessions.
Féliat. Yes. And if they're too exacting, we'll let them go, and the women shall get the stuff finished up for us. [There is a knock at the door] Come in.
René comes in.
Guéret. Hullo!
Féliat. René!
Guéret. You or your ghost?
Féliat. Where do you come from? Nobody's heard of you for a hundred years.
