SCENE II

TIME:  Evening.

PLACE:  Village of D——­; dining room of the Bishop’s house.

* * * * *

[The room is poorly furnished, but orderly.  A door at the back opens on the street.  At one side, a window overlooks the garden; at the other, curtains hang before an alcove. MADEMOISELLE, the Bishop’s SISTER, a sweet-faced lady, sits by the fire, knitting. MADAME, his HOUSEKEEPER, is laying the table for supper.]

MLLE. Has the Bishop returned from the service?

MADAME.  Yes, Mademoiselle.  He is in his room, reading.  Shall I call him?

MLLE. No, do not disturb him—­he will come in good time—­when supper is ready.

MADAME.  Dear me—­I forgot to get bread when I went out to-day.

MLLE. Go to the baker’s, then; we will wait.

[Exit Madame.  Pause.]

[Enter the BISHOP. He is an old man, gentle and kindly.]
