MME. DE RONCHARD [crosses R.]
You are insufferable! Go away, or I shall strike you.
LÉON [soothingly, and rising]
There, there, Aunt, I won't do it again. I will be good, I promise you, if you will forgive me.
MME. DE RONCHARD [rises, as if to go out C.]
I will not!
LÉON
Please do!
MME. DE RONCHARD [returns]
I will not! If it were simply a case of teasing me, I could let it pass, for I can take care of myself; but you have done your sister a wrong, and that is unforgivable.
