Adieu, my dear. [They embrace.] Adieu, my dear child.

LOUISE

Good-bye, Aunt Marie. Good-bye, Uncle Wolf. [WOLF and MARIE exit.]

You can get the soup now, Louise dear. [LOUISE goes into the house and reënters with the soup. They sit at the table.]

LOUISE

Mother, is it true we’re not going to work at the jute factory any more?

JULIE

Yes, dear.
