Its quite true you’re wearing a most attractive dress
Yes it is
And youre looking beautiful too, thats true too
Thank you
Perhaps not perfectly groomed still a little too close to nature and certainly not a very good powder nor a very good perfume
That must be why i find yours a little too good, and you a little too far…
Well? Too far what?
From nature
Youve manages quite well; but if one hasnt a maid who understands these things its almost fatal with the best will in the world one neglects oneself no woman can tend herself and altogether survive. Do you get up early in the morning?
Yes
Yes one can see
Do you go late to bed
Yes
Yes one can see
Thank you tell me do you remind very much
Mind what?
Wearing something you havenrt made yourself
As a compensation my eyelashes are my own
Happily for you you’ll need the, tomorrow, without the help you get from that dress
I take it away with me it was given me
Thats very nice isn’t it? You’ll be able to be a beauty all over again. I believe theres going to be a jolly dance on the forteenth of july at saint fleur. You’ll turn all the bumkims heads do you like my dress?
Yes its most beautiful
Would you like it? I shall never wear it again. I hardly ever wear a dress more than once. Besides i cant really tell myself i like petunia. Tomorrow i shall dine in rose pink, rather a miracle dress a harass of little pleats, twenty yards of them. If you come up to my room ill show it to you. Come and see it. Im sure it will give you pleasure
No
Why not? Do you envy me? Thats one of the sins you know youd love to be rich wouldnt you? If this evening were only a true story, and you had as many dresses as i have.
Naturally
But youll never have more than one, ismt that so? And if i put my foot on your train in this way, and tug it a little youll not even have one
Take you foot away
No
Take your foot away or i shall hit you
Dont squirm you little fury, you’ll do some damage
Oh my dress
You did it yourself. A few tacks it will still still do very nicely for st fleur. Its exciting, i expect to have such a triumphant evening with a borrowed dress on your back. The pity is, its over so soon. Tommoroe morning you have to pack your cardboard box and i shall still be here and thats the difference between us
Is it so pleasant to be unpleasant
No, not at all. But one cant always be pleased
Can you be unhappy as well? Thats very strange why?
I have too much money
But frederic loves you
I dont love him. I love Hugo and he dislikes my money, and i think hes right
Become poor then
Do you think it is so easy?
I make no effort
You dont know how lucky you are. I tell you, money is only worth something to the poor
Isabelle ..... ......... ........... Im leaving word for deeds, and asking you to go away
Go away? Do you think youre in your own home, you little adventuress
Isabelle ..... ....... ......... So now i shall use the arguments of the poor if you dont go i shall throw you out
Throw me out? Let me see you try
