"They say that Addie is in love with Marietje and that Marietje does her best to attract him."
"I should let them talk, Phine."
"What do you believe, Constance?"
"I don't believe a word of it. Addie is in love with his wife."
"That's just it. People say...."
"What do they say now?"
"That things are not going so very well between Mathilde and Addie."
"Every young couple has a difficult time now and again. A little difference of opinion ... I assure you they are happy together."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
