Madame LEK.
Yes, without doubt.
THE PRESIDENT’S WIFE.
In leaving he told me several times
That we would only have his presence tomorrow.
Madame LEK.
That I had to weep for his absence tonight.
Madame RISS.
ARIETTA.
Ah! Poor women that we are,
That we are
Dupes of men!
They are all nothing but ingrates,
Nothing but traitors, scoundrels.
If candor, if frankness,
If modesty transmitted in us,
Were not the virtues of women,
There would be none left on earth,
One would see them no more.
Ah! poor women that we are,
That we are
Dupes of men!
They are all nothing but ingrates,
Nothing but traitors, scoundrels.
THE PRESIDENT’S WIFE.
To what purpose?...
Madame LEK.
Why?...
THE PRESIDENT’S WIFE.
Could it be our spouses
Who are ingrates?
Madame RISS.
Where do you think
They expect to sup?
THE PRESIDENT’S WIFE.
Madame, I do not know.
Madame LEK.
Where then?
