(7) sets the scene, a pastorale (the pastorale in the second suite) with offstage chorus and accompaniment. in mélodrame (8) balthazar and l’innocent enter in scene iii (using the latter’s theme), and (9) marks the exit of rose. the next mélodrame (10) accompanies the discovery of fréderi in the shepherd’s hut, angry because everyone is spying on him. as wordless offstage chorus sing, balthazar leaves, having failed to make frédéri destroy the letters from the arlésienne which he reads night and day. mélodrame (12) is only six bars; l’innocent cannot recall the story he wants to tell his brother. in the next mélodrame (13), (er dou guet) described as a ‘berceuse’, l’innocent falls asleep while telling his story. a nine-bar mélodrame (14) evokes rose’s desperation at fréderi’s frame of mind.
