Vagret. As I was leaving the Court I met the Attorney-General. I begged him urgently to give me a moment's conversation. I wanted to speak with him alone—and with you, Monsieur le Président.
Bunerat. As you wish.
Madame Vagret. I am afraid you are unwell, my dear. I shall wait there. I will come back directly these gentlemen have gone.
Vagret. Very well.
Madame Bunerat [going out, to her husband] There's a man ready to do something stupid.
Bunerat. That doesn't concern us.
They go out.
Scene VIII:—Vagret, the President of Assizes, then the Attorney-General.
The President. Did you notice any mistake on my part in the direction of the case?
Vagret. No, if any mistake was made, it was I who made it.
