I think I'll tell you two a secret. (_Susan p.r.i.c.ks up her ears_) Do you like secrets?
SUSAN
Yes, sir.
NATHANIEL
And can you keep them?
SUSAN
Oh, yes, sir.
NATHANIEL
Well, some day Mlle. Perrault is going to be my wife.
[_He kisses Mlle. Perrault's hand._
_Mlle. Perrault shows her engagement ring._
SUSAN
When?
NATHANIEL
Very soon. She is here on some war work and when she and her father go back to France I shall follow and we shall be married.
SUSAN
Ooh--
NATHANIEL
Now you mustn't tell.
SUSAN
Honest.
JONATHAN
No, sir!
MLLE. PERRAULT
Now, we have a secret. And you are going to sing me a little song.
SUSAN
