Text

START: CAMILLE/MADAME: Thérèse?
Music plays under the following lines, interspersed with moments of silence. They watch her as she walks around the space.
MADAME: The day is overcast, Thérèse, that’s why it looks so dull. All it needs is a good sweep. We’ll have it comfortable in no time!
She goes upstairs, sees, sits down. Silence.
[... …]
END: CAMILLE: And on the walk home, I stop and look at the bears in their pit in the Jardin � you should see how they lumber about, Thérèse, such great heavy movements �
MADAME: We mustn’t leave our bright coloured stock lying around � we must pack it away in the boxes and cupboards � in the corners, Thérèse. Four tables should be enough, I think�
