That’s it!

Nanon (looking about her)

So very triste it is in here!

Séraphine

So gay outside! All Nantes is dressed in red!

There’s a procession, and then to-night

We sit in the galleries to hear Lalain!

[Distant music.

Hark to the fife! Formez vos bataillons!

And your feet keep not time to the music!
