    In the hall (visible when the main doors are open): table with telephone. As the curtain rises, CAMILLE is standing by the writing-desk, reading a document which he has taken from one of the drawers. After a moment, ANTOINETTE creeps in, tiptoes up behind him, takes his head in her hands from behind and gives him a quick kiss.

    En el recibidor (visible cuando las puertas principales están abiertas): mesa con teléfono. Mientras se levanta el telón, CAMILLE está de pie junto al escritorio leyendo un documento que ha sacado de uno de los cajones. Después de un momento, ANTOINETTE entra sigilosamente, se pone de puntillas detrás de él, toma su cabeza entre sus manos por detrás y le da un beso rápido.
