(Enter Isabelle and Valere from opposite directions without seeing

VALERE: What! Unable to reason with my two aunts!
ISABELLE: I can never return. What extravagants!
VALERE: Yes, the more I think of it the less I see of a way out.
ISABELLE: To have such revolting procedures for a nephew.
VALERE: We shall get nothing out of it.
ISABELLE: Oh Gods!
