Gerald. Oui, oui, ma chère.

Séraphine. Je suis très lasse. Comment dit-on? Tired?

Gerald. Oui—yes. Dearest, you must learn to speak English all the time; we don’t want people to stare at us.

Séraphine. Oh, but I do not know well how the English speaks itself.

Gerald. Nonsense, you’re getting along splendidly.

(Enter Cashier, up-stage right.)

Cashier. How do you do? You’d like a room?

Gerald. Two, if you please.

Cashier. We have two nice rooms on the second floor.

Gerald. That’s capital!
