Joyzelle.

(Dismayed.) Lancéor!...

Lancéor.

Why, where do you come from, Joyzelle?

Joyzelle.

I have seen and heard....

Lancéor.

Well, what?... What have you seen?... Look around you: there is nothing to see.... The oleanders are in flower, the water in the basin sleeps, the doves are cooing, the water-lilies are opening their petals: that is all that I see, all that you can see....

Joyzelle.

Do you love her?
