Marcel. Then I am expiating for some one else?
Madeleine. I'm afraid so.
Marcel. Perfect!
Madeleine. Forgive me!
Marcel [reproachfully]. So you are deceiving him?
Madeleine. You are a perfect friend to-day!
Marcel. Then you really have a lover?
Madeleine. A second lover! That would be disgraceful, wouldn't it?
Marcel. The first step always brings the worst consequences.
Madeleine. What are you smiling at?
