[Enter Guérin, at the back. As he sees Françoise he hesitates before coming to her.]
Françoise [cordially]. Come in, Monsieur. I have never seen you, but I already know you very well.
Guérin [a large, strong man, with grayish hair]. Thank you, Madame. I thought I should find Monsieur Desroches at home. If you will excuse me—
Françoise. I beg you!
Guérin. I fear I am intruding: it's so early.
Françoise. You intruding in Marcel's home?
Guérin. Madame—
Françoise. My husband will return soon, Monsieur.
Guérin [brightening]. Good!
Françoise. Will you wait for him here in the studio?
