NANETTE.
[_Starting up angrily_.]
There's that lazy man of mine, singing, while I work.
[_Crosses to folding doors, flings them open and shouts roughly_.]
Dodolphe!--Dodolphe Potin!
POTIN.
[_Meekly, outside_.]
Aye, aye!
NANETTE.
I want you!
POTIN.
[_Outside_.]
Aye, aye!
NANETTE.
Hurry up!--Do you hear?
POTIN.
[_Appearing_.]
I could hear your sweet voice if I were deaf as Justice.
