1:28:01
All right, rip.
1:28:40
- Mary.
- Rachel wasn't...
1:28:43
She fell asleep. So I thought
I'd let her rest for a few minutes.
1:28:46
Must be after midnight.
1:28:49
It's nearly 5:00, Reverend Mother.
1:28:52
So it is. My, my.
1:28:57
It looks beautiful.
1:28:59
It is nice, isn't it?
1:29:01
I used to do a great deal of sewing
when I was a girl.
1:29:05
I always blessed my mother for insisting
that I learn how to handle a needle.
1:29:10
When my parents died, I was 16 then...
1:29:14
- my uncle who lived in Paris...
- Paris?
1:29:16
Paris was my mother's home...
1:29:19
before she immigrated to Quebec
and married my father.
1:29:23
I lost my parents
within three months of each other.
1:29:27
Flu epidemic.
1:29:30
Anyway, I went to live in Paris.
1:29:33
My uncle arranged for my apprenticeship
with a well-known couturier.
1:29:37
Of course, I was only a seamstress.
1:29:39
But I had visions
of creating my own designs...
1:29:43
in the house of Madeleine Rouche
challenging the great Chanel.
1:29:48
That was my name, Madeleine Rouche.
1:29:52
I remember standing behind the curtains
with the fitters...
1:29:55
when the collections were shown.
1:29:57
The buyers came from all over the world.
