Scene Twelfth
Marguerite and Pauline.
Pauline No one has seen me. Listen, Marguerite, first of all, take away the money that I gave you, and then let me think about the resolution which I have taken.
Marguerite
If I were in your place, mademoiselle, I would tell everything to the
General.
Pauline To my father? Unhappy woman, do not betray me! And let both of us respect the illusions, in the midst of which he lives.
Marguerite
Ah! Illusions! That is the very word.
Pauline
You may leave me now.
(Exit Marguerite.)
