We will go together, since I was to have accompanied you to your house this evening.
JEAN [joyously]
Oh, Gilberte! But your father will not let us go.
GILBERTE
Well, do you know what we must do, since my packing is finished, and my maid awaits me at your house? You must carry me off.
JEAN
Carry you off?
GILBERTE
Give me my cloak and let us go. All can be explained tomorrow. [Shows the cloak that she had left upon the chair in the first act.] My cloak, please.
JEAN [picks up the cloak quickly and throws it over her shoulders]
