"Have you been making a fool of yourself since yesterday, Pomponne?"
"Me, monsieur! what makes you ask me that? You didn't tell me to, did you?"
"Why, you don't usually wait for my instructions to do that. Are there any letters for me?"
"No, monsieur."
"Did anybody call while I was asleep?"
"Call?"
"Yes, call."
"I don't think so, monsieur."
"You don't think so? Aren't you sure?"
"Oh, yes! I am sure."
