Gerald. And now I must leave you for a few minutes. I must send a telegram to the chief.
Séraphine. And you will leave me all alone? What if I would wish for anything?
Gerald. Well, you can speak English.
(Enter the Cashier.)
Séraphine. No, no—or only with those who also speak the French. I’m so afraid!
Gerald. But, there must be an interpreter here—(To the Cashier) Isn’t there?
Cashier. Of course. He should be here in a moment. Meantime, the rooms are ready.
Gerald. (To Séraphine) I’ll take you up, and then run to the office.
(They go out, up-stage right.)
Cashier. (To the Porter, who enters, center) Why hasn’t our interpreter come yet?
