Yes; father, I am going away. I am going with my husband; but I shall be here to-morrow to ask pardon for this hurried flight, and to explain to you the reason for it.
PETITPRÉ
Were you going without saying good-bye to us—without embracing us?
GILBERTE
Yes, in order to avoid more discussions.
LÉON
She is right. Let them go.
GILBERTE [throws herself upon Petitpré's neck]
Till to-morrow, father; till to-morrow, my dear Aunt. Good night, all; I have had enough of emotion and fatigue.
MME. DE RONCHARD [goes to Gilberte and embraces her]
