Joseph
I will go at once. I will climb over the roof if you like.

(He passes through a narrow door that leads to the garret.)

Pamela (follows him)
Be quick! (Jules enters.) Ah! sir, what trouble you are giving me!

Jules
It is to save my life, and perhaps you will never regret it. You know
how much I love you!

(He kisses her hand.)

Pamela
I know that you have told me so; but you treat me--

Jules
As my deliverer.

Pamela
You wrote to me--and your letter has filled me with trouble--I know
neither who you are--

Joseph (from the outer room)
Mademoiselle, I am in the garret. I have looked over the whole roof.

Jules
He is coming back--Where can I hide?
