JACQUES DE RANDOL
Yea, as a friend who loves you far too dearly to advise you to commit any folly.
MME. DE SALLUS
And loves me just enough to advise me to be complaisant to a man I despise.
JACQUES DE RANDOL
I! Never, never. My most ardent desire is to be with you forever. Get a divorce, and then if you still love me, let us wed.
MME. DE SALLUS
Oh, yes, yes—two years from now. Certainly, you are a patient lover!
JACQUES DE RANDOL
But supposing I were to carry you off, he would take you back to-morrow; would shut you up in his house, and would never get a divorce lest you should become my wife.
