Regine
[to Odette, as she and Felicie are cleaning the stairs]
Get up.
Odette
[meekly]
Yes, ma'am. [gets up, but keeps her head down]
Regine
[referring to Felicie]
Who is this?
Odette
No one. She helps.
Regine
You feed it...out of your wages.
Odette
Yes, ma'am.
Regine
I want you to air and press the linen. [whispers] Now. [Odette leaves. Regine looks down at Felicie coldly. A visibly frightened Felicie resumes cleaning the stairs] It's not clean. [purposely pushes the bucket of scrubbing water with her foot; the water spills down the steps, much to Felicie's shock, then smiles wickedly and leaves]
