Madame Guéret [continuing]—we shall have to keep her with us. But I shall insist upon certain conditions.
Guéret. What conditions?
Madame Guéret. I won't have any scandals at Evreux.
Guéret. There won't be any scandals.
Madame Guéret. No; because she'll have to behave very differently, I can tell you. She'll have to leave all these fine airs of independence behind her in Paris.
Guéret. What airs?
Madame Guéret. Well, for instance, getting letters and answering them without any sort of supervision! [To her brother] She manages in such a way that I don't even see the envelopes! [To her husband] I object very much, too, to her student ways.
Guéret. She goes to classes and lectures with her girl friends.
Madame Guéret. Well, she won't go to any more. And she will have to give up going out alone.
Guéret. She's of age.
