　　M=Mathilde P=Pierre

　　M: You’ll never guess whom I met today in the park.

　　P: Oh, was it some important?

　　M: Why , yes, you could certainly say that. (looking at him.) I met Jeanne.

　　P: No, you don’t say!

　　M: Yes, she was sitting there when I walked by but she didn’t know it was me.

　　P: How could she forget? ( He sees his wife putting her hands to her face.) Oh, I’m sorry.

　　M: That’s all right. Anyway, we both know I did it to myself.

　　P: Did what, dear?

　　M: Made a fool of myself. I simply to be the lowest lady at the ball and look what it cost me —and you, I’m sorry.

　　P: Forget it, dear. What’s past is past. You mustn’t keep blaming yourself.

　　M: But you don’t know the worst part. Oh, I still can’t believe it! She told me that the diamond necklace wasn’t real!

　　P: What do you mean?

　　M: It wasn’t real. I was only worth a few hundred francs.

　　P: Oh, my goodness! And we worked so hard to pay for that necklace. Our whole life. But as least we did the right thing. We must forget about the past. At least we still have each other.

　　M: (not listening.) And to think she gets to keep the necklace now! (She shakes her head many times.)
