Monsieur le Duc de Beaumont.

[DIANE _starts_.]


DUKE.

[_Turning with contempt_.]

Monsieur le Marquis de Vaux.


DIANE

[_Amazed_.]

GOUROC.

You are surprised to see me in this garb. I am equally surprised to
find you the guests of Citizen Kauvar, President of the Republican
Section of Fraternity.


DUKE.

Not quite as strange as discovering the dainty Marquis de Vaux a
Public Accuser and the servile slave of the guillotine.
