FRANÇOIS
I am seventy years old, and you tell me about the Prussians. Go!
Again the shouting of the crowd is heard. Silvina, the chambermaid, runs out of the house and calls: "Monsieur Maurice!"
SILVINA
Please, come into the house. Madame Jeanne is calling you. Madame is going away. Please, come.
MAURICE
And papa?
SILVINA
He isn't here yet. Come!
Both move away. François sits down at the flower bed impatiently.
