THE CAPTIVE

Gisele
Well, you see we're the only two women at dinner to-night, and we must arrange that our dresses don't clash.
Mlle. Marchand
Ah, yes, that's so.
[Josephine, a maid, enters at the back, carrying a gown to be put away in the dressing room.]
Gisele
Josephine, has Irene told you what dress she's wearing to-night?
Josephine
No, mademoiselle, she hasn't.
Gisele
Oh, Lord! Now I've no idea what to wear myself! [Josephine goes out.]
Mlle. Marchand
Wear your yellow dress. It's charming—and it's very becoming.
Gisele
My yellow dress! Don't be silly!
Mlle. Marchand
Gisele! A little more respect for your governess, if you please!
