Louise. Do you know the lady?
Sophie. Yes ... no. That is, I don't know. I believe I've seen her before.
Louise. Didn't she say what her errand was?
Sophie. No, madam, but she said she would come back soon.
Louise. When she comes, show her into the drawing room.
Sophie. Yes, madam.
Louise. Have everything ready at once.
Sophie. Yes, madam. [She goes out.]
Louise. You will excuse me. I must change my clothes. I shall put my old ones on. You see, I kept them. Then I must write to him. I must tell him why I am going away. [She goes out by the side door.]
Vennema. I feel as if I have never been as happy as this before.
