"They'll be here. Listen Hortense, around midnight, or half past, I'll be busy... know what I mean? Make sure to keep my Anténor out of the way..."
Description:
At a costumed carnival ball, two women have withdrawn to a corner near a curtain to arrange the details of their "sentimental" strategy for the evening.
The caption reads in the original French:
— Ils vont venir : Écoute Hortense ! sur le coup de minuit, minuit et demi, vois-tu ? J’aurai à faire… Tu t’arrangeras pour m’égarer mon Anténor…
