SYLVETTE. [Wiping her eyes] He _would_ fall from the clouds if
he knew! I must be careful!

PERCINET. [Rising] Well, well, well!

SYLVETTE. [Going toward him] What is it?

PERCINET. [Hiding the bill] Nothing. [Aside] Now I see why
the body was never found!

SYLVETTE. [Turning around to show PERCINET her dress] You've
said nothing about my dress to-day?

PERCINET. [Preoccupied] Blue is not becoming. I always prefer
you in pink.

SYLVETTE. [Aside] What is the matter? Can he have found out?
[She looks toward the table.] The bill? [She runs to the table.]

PERCINET. What are you looking for?

SYLVETTE. Nothing.--Now let me hear your poem.

PERCINET. No.

SYLVETTE. Please!

PERCINET. No.
