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.]
