Lancéor.

No one saw me.... I was wandering on the shore, I was in despair....

Joyzelle.

Oh! Why?...

Lancéor.

I was very far from here, I was very far from him, when a letter told me that my old father was dying.... I took ship at once. We were long at sea; then, in the first port at which the ship put in, I learnt that it was too late, that my father was no more.... I continued my voyage, at least to be on the scene of his last thoughts and carry out his last wishes....

Joyzelle.

Why are you here?

Lancéor.
