CAMILLE. Not yet.

LUCILE. What do you mean?

CAMILLE. We are creating Him now. Tomorrow, if I can believe in what my heart tells me, there will be a God: Man. [LUCILE closes her eyes and sleeps. CAMILLE says quietly]. Lucile!—She's asleep.

ROBESPIERRE [coming across the street and catching sight of CAMILLE]. You're still here?

CAMILLE. Sh!

ROBESPIERRE. You forget your duty. [CAMILLE points to LUCILE.—ROBESPIERRE lowers his voice and looks at LUCILE.] Poor child! [He stands still a moment, looking at the pair. The sound of nearby drums awakens LUCILE. She catches sight of ROBESPIERRE and quickly jumps up.]

LUCILE. Oh!

CAMILLE. What's the matter, Lucile? He is our friend Maximilien.

ROBESPIERRE [bows to LUCILE]. Didn't you recognize me?

LUCILE [still trembling]. You frightened me!
