A large room in Emil Grelieu's villa, which has been turned into a sickroom. There are two wounded there, Grelieu himself, with a serious wound in his shoulder, and his son Maurice, with a light wound on his right arm. The large window, covered with half transparent curtains, admits a faint bluish light. The wounded appear to be asleep. In an armchair at the bedside of Grelieu there is a motionless figure in white, Jeanne.
EMIL GRELIEU
Softly.
Jeanne!
She leans over the bed quickly.
JEANNE
Shall I give you some water?
EMIL GRELIEU
No. You are tired.
JEANNE
