First Voice: What troubles you, my sweet? Did you not enjoy yourself at the St Denis Stakes?
Second Voice: Oh, the company of Joya was most agreeable but your conversation with Jean is weighing on me.
First Voice: The situation at the front?
Second Voice: (soft whimper)
First Voice: I am a soldier. You have known that since I first courted you.
Second Voice: You are, my love, and your devotion to our King is highly estimable. But I fear. For your safety. For our future.
First Voice: Then I suppose that now is a bad time to tell you that I intend to volunteer for the front.
Second Voice: No! (weeping)
First Voice: Be not distraught, my sweet, I shall write to you every day and send you little gift as my duties permit.
