:21:00
I'm sorry, Claudin, really sorry.
If I had time... But my expenses are great.
:21:06
And you must remember there are many
who can pay waiting to study with me.
:21:09
I'll let her come a few times, and then
I will tell her she no longer needs me.
:21:15
But that isn't true.
:21:17
As a matter of fact, if you had the money,
she might be launched on a career soon.
:21:21
I assume that MIle DuBois has not the
means to pay for her own instructions?
:21:26
A month's salary wouldn't be enough
to pay for one of your lessons.
:21:29
But... I have written a concerto.
:21:33
Will you trust me if I can
arrange to have it published?
:21:36
Every violinist has written a concerto!
Come, come, my dear Claudin.
:21:40
But I have faith in this one,
:21:42
as much faith as I had in MIle DuBois
when I came three years ago.
:21:45
Now, I was right about her,
Signor, and I'm right about this.
:21:50
Pleyel and Desjardins will publish it,
:21:52
and they'll give me
a substantial advance. You'll see!
:22:30
(man) It's a shame.
Pleyel's in there with his etchings.
:22:34
Why don't they tell the poor devil he won't
see anyone, instead of torturing him?
:22:43
Claudin?
:22:45
He'll see me?
:22:48
No. He is too busy today.
:22:50
- Has he seen my manuscript?
- Manuscript? What manuscript?
:22:53
- My concerto.
- I know nothing about it.
:22:56
- But you took the portfolio into him.
- If I did, you will receive it in due time.
