Excerpt from The Post-Scriptum: A Comedy in One Act

Scene: - An elegantly furnished room. There are two entrances at the back; at the right a fireplace; center, a table.

As the curtain rises, Madame de Verlière is discovered wearing a loose gown, seated by the fire-place, cutting the leaves of a book. M. de Lancy enters a moment later, right.

Lancy. (At the threshold) I beg your pardon, neighbor, it's I. Please don't scold your maid - she kept telling me you were at home to no one. But I told her that a landlord was no one: that argument succeeded. Now, must I go?

Mme. de Verliere. It's very lucky that it is you!

Lancy. Is the book so very interesting?

Mme. de Verliere. I don't know, I'm only cutting it. Now you are here, my dear Lancy, you may wait with me. That's what I am doing.

Lancy. (Noticing that her hair is powdered) Who? Oh, the Carnival?

Mme. de Verliere. Heavens, no. I shouldn't think of being powdered so early for the ball.

Lancy. What then?

Mme. de Verliere. What is the mystery, you think? I can't keep secrets from you: well, I've had an Athenian Water hair-wash this morning, and I use the powder to dry my hair.
