HAUTEVILLE. You would only be embarrassed and I would be guilty of a breach of confidence.
STROEBEL [with contempt]. As though people confided in such as you.
HAUTEVILLE. I think that they rely upon the fact that our loyalty is not "just talk."
STROEBEL [again calm]. Listen to me. I do not think that you entirely understand your position. [Hauteville shrugs her shoulders.] No, I don't think that you know at all what is involved.
HAUTEVILLE. On the contrary it is far worse that you don't seem to realize who is involved.
STROEBEL [quickly]. In what?
HAUTEVILLE. In the wardrobe.
STROEBEL. Have you lost your senses? You are a prisoner here. Do you want to poke fun at us?
HAUTEVILLE. No.
STROEBEL. Then don't consider yourself so important with those meaning insinuations.
