Summary
Juliette wants to sell her villa
When the scene opens, we see that Juliette and her 
maid are discussing the sale of the villa. She 
wonders if her mistress, Juliette, would be sorry for 
selling the villa. Juliette says that since the villa had 
been up for sale for the past month with no one 
willing to buy, she would be glad if it is sold off. 
However, the maid reminds her that she had put up 
the ‘For Sale’ sign at night. Juliette agrees that she 
had done this thinking that as soon as people saw 
the sign, they would rush to buy it. But no one has 
shown much interest in the place and Juliette wants 
to get it off her hands fast.
