Cashier. What do you wish?

Chanoine-Malherbe. Bonjour, Madame M. Forsyth, est-il ici?

Cashier. Forsyth?

Chanoine-Malherbe. Oui, Forsyth.

Cashier. No, there’s no one registered here with that name. No!

Chanoine-Malherbe. Voyons, un jeune homme et une jeune demoiselle?

Cashier. I can’t understand a word you are saying. Interpreter! (Enter the Porter) Have you seen the interpreter?

Porter. He was here a moment ago.

Chanoine-Malherbe. (Taking a pocket-dictionary from his valise) Commissaire, police—here!

Porter. Wot’s ’e saying?
