Vennema. What's the matter with her?
Van Elst. I don't know. Nerves perhaps.
Vennema. Has she had a fainting spell?
Van Elst. Don't worry about it. She'll be better in a little while.
Vennema [noticing the bottles]. Is she...?
Van Elst. I don't know.
Vennema. Couldn't you tell? You may tell me.
Van Elst. Yes; I think a little.
Vennema. That hurts. I never thought she would allow herself to get into such a state. Has she been this way for a long time?
Van Elst. About ten minutes, I should say. But she'll be quite all right in a little while.
