Résumé

Mme de Peyrac Comment on parle à Paris (1857)

If your affections are not engaged, Marie offers you her heart and hand. Come, my darling, do tell him yourself; he is so distressingly skeptical.
GEORGE. (He looks at MARIE with hesitation, and mingled hope and fear.) Marie, is it a dream ? Answer me, pray. Does not your mother deceive me? Can so much happiness be in store for me?
MARIE (looks up and smiles through her tears) .
Yes, George, it is all true; you have ever been my only love. For an instant, pride struggled to win my heart; but it was yours; no earthly power could steal it from you.
CHARLES (entering the room) .

MARIE (vivement) .
Maman, maman ! vous si tendre et si bonne, vous paraissez jouir de mes angoisses. Ce n'est pas lui ; ce n'est pas M. de Forlis que j'aime ; c'est—c'est —George.
all possible inquiries about M.
de Forlis; he is worthy of you in every respect. His reputation is perfect; his birth, rank. You weep, darling, when I consent to your realizing your fondest wish. Marie, Marie, answer me; you grieve me, dearest.
MARIE.
Oh ! mother, I am so guilty, so very guilty. I have deceived you ; I have deceived George ; and, alas! I was deceiving myself.

MARIE.
Oui, maman. (Ils sortent.)
GEORGE (sighing) .
I have none.
MARIE (with her bonnet on) .
What color shall my dress be for the grand occasion ?
CHARLES.
Blue; that is most becoming to you.
MARIE.
George, shall it be blue?
GEORGE (smiling) .
I always adopt the opinion of others; but now I think I will be in the opposition. I say pink.
MARIE.
Well, gentlemen, it will not be an easy matter to gratify you both.
MRS. DARVILLE.
I am ready, my children.
Marie, we are going to Baudrant's and to Madame de Baisieux.
MARIE.
Yes, mamma. (They go out.)
