Pamela
M. Adolph, you alarm me! What is going to happen? Wait a moment, I
will go and see.

Jules
In any case, take and keep this twenty thousand francs. It will be
safer with you than in the hands of the police--I have only half an
hour longer and all will be over.

Pamela
There is nothing to fear--It is only my father and mother.

Jules
You have the kindness of an angel. I trust my fate with you. But you
must know that both of us must leave this house at once; and I swear
on my honor, that nothing but good shall result to you.

(He hides again under the roof.)


SCENE THIRD

Pamela, M. Giraud and Mme. Giraud.


Pamela (who stands in such a way as to prevent her parents from
entering fully into the room; aside)
Evidently here is a man in danger--and a man who loves me--two reasons
why I should be interested in him.
