Mouzon [to the recorder] Send for Etchepare.
Recorder [returning immediately] Your worship.
Mouzon. Well?
Recorder. The advocate—Maître Plaçat.
Mouzon. Is he there?
Recorder. Yes, your honor. He would like to see you before the interrogatory.
Mouzon. Well, show him in, then! What are you waiting for? Be off—and come back when I send for the accused.
The recorder goes out as Plaçat enters.
Scene VI:—Mouzon, Maître Plaçat.
Mouzon. Good-day, my dear fellow—how are you?
