He has an angel at home, and off he
goes paying a call on Madame de Lionne.

:06:06
He must be quite blind.
:06:10
Thank you.
:06:45
Madame.
:06:49
I must ask you
to pardon this intrusion.

:06:51
I'm here on military business,
which is...

:06:54
a lamentable reason
for invading your drawing room.

:06:56
Come again this evening
and plead your forgiveness.

:06:59
You are most gracious.
:07:00
Madame, I have orders
for Lieutenant Feraud.

:07:05
Please excuse us.
:07:10
I have an order to convey to you
from General Treillard.

:07:13
You are to report to your quarters
and remain there under close arrest.

:07:18
What did you say?
:07:21
I'm only a messenger.
That must be obvious to you.

:07:24
Have you heard my message?
:07:26
Yes, damn you, I heard your message.
Under arrest for what?

:07:28
You did fight a duel this morning?
:07:33
Of course.
:07:34
You make dueling sound like
a pastime in the Garden of Eden.

:07:40
I think we ought to leave now,
don't you agree?

:07:45
What have I done?
:07:46
Was I to let some sauerkraut-eater...
:07:50
wipe his boots on the uniform
of the 7th Hussars?

:07:53
The sauerkraut-eater's uncle
happens to be the mayor of Strasbourg.

:07:58
The general was obliged
to acknowledge his complaint.
