Françoise. Marcel!
Marcel. Did he dare tell you!
Françoise. You won't see any more of him.
Marcel [astounded]. He's not going to fight?
Françoise. He refuses.
Marcel. Thank you!
Françoise. I took good care of your dignity, you may be sure of that. Here we were together; I told him the story of my life during the last year—how I loved you—and then he broke down. When I learned the truth, he said he would go away for my happiness' sake.
Marcel. I was a coward to deceive that man! Is this a final sentence that you pass on me?
Françoise. Marcel!
Marcel. Both of you are big! You have big hearts. I admire you both more than I can say.
