Trévelé
Do not let your anger mislead you.
John
In any case he is the son of that woman; I do not wish to see him any more. He can live with her, that she may bring him up in her new life. He will avenge me one day. When he is twenty years old he will insult her. Or something else may occur. The tribunal which will pronounce our separation will order that the child shall be sent to college, or to boarding school, from which his mother will have no power to take him.
Trévelé
At his age! He will be very unhappy.
John
All the better for him. He will suffer at an earlier age – he will understand more easily.
A Servant (entering)
Mr. Richard.
John (aside)
It is not I who sent for him? Does he know anything?
Godler
Would you like us to leave you?
John
No. I have nothing to say that you may not hear… unless you have something else to do.
Trévelé
No, nothing. (To Godler.) Nor you, have you?
Godler
I – no, nothing. (To Trévelé, combing his whiskers and pulling forward his lock of hair.) Florimonde is waiting for me.
Trévelé
She is waiting for you with some one else. Be at ease, she will not be weary waiting for you.
Scene II
THE SAME PERSONS, RICHARD.
Richard (in a low voice to John)
I know all, Count.
John (aloud)
These gentlemen also…
Richard (bowing)
Your servant, gentlemen! (To John.) I have received a note from the Countess, who begged me to go at once to the Commissary of Police and take a copy of the accusation, as the lawyer watching her interest, in the law proceedings which will take place. She has appointed an interview.
John
In what place?
Richard
Here. She knew very well that I would not go anywhere else.
John
Then she is here?
Richard
Yes.
John
Have you seen her?
Richard
No; but the footman told me, and he is gone to inform her. I wanted to see you in the meantime.
John
And people already know it?
Richard
Nothing; nothing at all. The Commissary has forbidden all communication with the newspapers, and it is neither you, nor Mr. Nourvady, nor we – is it not so, gentlemen? who would reveal the least circumstance in that sad affair. The servants of the house in the Champs Elysées know what took place, but they are ignorant of the name of the lady. The scandal will be great enough at the time of the law proceedings. It is useless to initiate the public beforehand.
John
Ah! Well, you can see the affair is very simple. The Countess and I were separated, or had a separation of property; now we have a separation of the body, and we shall see each other no more; that is the whole of it.
The Lady's Maid (entering)
The Countess de Hun sends me to say to Mr. Richard, that when he has finished speaking to the Count she will be glad to see him…
