ADOLPHE. If you insist on it. Otherwise Maurice has to come back here, where we shall all be waiting for him. MAURICE. You can just as well take the trouble of meeting us. In fact, I ask, I beg you to do so--And if you don't want to wait outside the theatre, you can meet us at the Auberge des Adrets-- That's settled then, isn't it? ADOLPHE. Wait a little. You have a way of settling things to suit yourself, before other people have a chance to consider them. MAURICE. What is there to consider--whether you are to see your lady home or not? ADOLPHE. You never know what may be involved in a simple act like that, but I have a sort of premonition. HENRIETTE. Hush, hush, hush! Don't talk of spooks while the sun is shining. Let him come or not, as it pleases him. We can always find our way back here. ADOLPHE. [Rising] Well, now I have to leave you--model, you know. Good-bye, both of you. And good luck to you, Maurice. To-morrow you will be out on the right side. Good-bye, Henriette. HENRIETTE. Do you really have to go? ADOLPHE. I must. |
