My dear girl, won't you keep Randol?
MME. DE SALLUS
Why ask me? You know that I have no influence over him.
M. DE SALLUS
You are charming enough to influence the world this evening, so why can't you make him stay?
MME. DE SALLUS
Good gracious! I cannot make my friends stay in order to please you, and keep them in your house against their wish. Bring your friends.
M. DE SALLUS
Well, I shall remain at home this evening in any case, and we shall then be tête-à-tête.
MME. DE SALLUS
