Oh, no; merely an admirer. You know how I worship the dance.
MME. FLACHE
And the danseuses also, at times. [Lowering her eyes.] Come, have you forgotten?
DR. PELLERIN

MME. FLACHE

DR. PELLERIN
I only do you justice. You know that formerly, when I was a young doctor, I had for you a very ardent passion which lasted six weeks. Tell me, don't you regret the time of the grand fête?
