[Juanito enters by right: Petra by left. She has a bunch of violets in her hand.]
Doña Laura. Well, Petra, I thought you were never coming.
Don Gonzalo. But, Juanito, what delayed you so? It is very late.
Petra [handing violets to Doña Laura]. My lover gave me these violets for you, Señora.
Doña Laura. How very nice of him. Thank him for me. They are very fragrant. [As she takes the violets from her maid, a few loose ones drop to the ground.]
Don Gonzalo. My dear Señora, this has been a great honor and pleasure.
Doña Laura. And it has also been a pleasure to me.
Don Gonzalo. Good-by until to-morrow.
Doña Laura. Until to-morrow.
Don Gonzalo. If it is a sunny day.
