Paul. (Chaffingly) Oh, Duchess, I a Republican!

Duchess. Well, you were one, at least! (She drinks again)
Paul. Oh, well, like everyone else, when I was little. That is the measles of politics, Duchess, everybody has to have it.
Duchess. (Laughing) Ah, oh, ah, the measles! Isn’t he funny! (ToJeanne) And you, my dear, you like a joke once in a while, too?
Jeanne. Oh, Duchess, I have no objection to a little frivolity—in moderation.
Duchess. That isn’t very frivolous, but it’s better than nothing. Well, well—I like a little frivolity myself, especially in a person of your age. (To the maid) Here, take this away. (She hands her cup to the maid)
Mme. de Céran. (To the maid) Will you show Madame Raymond to her room, Mademoiselle? (ToJeanne) Your room is this way, just next to mine——
Jeanne. Thank you, Madame. (ToPaul) Come, dear.
Mme.
