Pray tell me about the countess.
:10:53
I have never met her,
only watched her from afar.
:10:56
I fully understand your request,
Mme de Vilmorac.
:11:00
I shall, to the best of my ability, seek
to delineate the countess's person -
:11:06
- which, however, is all too nuanced
and rich in mysterious contrasts -
:11:11
- to be related in a few moments.
:11:14
Her power over men
is said to be of a singular quality.
:11:18
Countess Celimene de Francen
de la Tour de Casas.
:11:36
- Who plays the Countess?
- Miss Armfeldt, I believe.
:11:39
- Isn't her first name Desiree?
- It is.
:11:42
May I have the glasses?
:11:50
- Why did she look at us?
- I don't think she did.
:11:54
- She looked at us and smiled. Why?
- To acknowledge the applause.
