Etchepare. I swear.

Yanetta. Promise me too—I beg you, Pierre—in the name of our happiness and my misery—promise to keep me fresh in their memory—let them pray for me, won't you?

Etchepare. I swear it.

Yanetta. Then go—my life is done with.

Etchepare. Good-bye.

He goes out with the recorder. At the door the latter meets Mouzon.

The Recorder [to Etchepare] They are coming to show you the way out.

The Recorder [to Mouzon] The woman Etchepare is there.

Mouzon. Ah, she's there. Monsieur Vagret has been speaking of her. Well, I withdraw my complaint; I ask nothing better than that she shall be set at liberty. Now that I am a Councillor I don't want to be coming back from Pau every week for the examination. Proceed with the necessary formalities.

Scene V:—Mouzon, Yanetta, the recorder.
