:57:29
Please God, don't let her baby
be a hunchback.
:57:37
Dear little Manon,
:57:40
I am leaving you my whole estate.
:57:45
You may wonder why, but it's the truth.
:57:50
The solicitor will give you
all the documents.
:57:54
It's because your father was my son,
:57:57
the Soubeyran I'd hoped for all my life.
:58:01
I tormented him to death
because I didn't know who he was.
:58:07
If I'd told him about the spring,
he'd still be playing his harmonica
:58:12
and you'd all be living in our family home.
:58:18
No-one knows about it, but even so,
I'm bitterly ashamed.
:58:26
In the village, there's one person
who'll tell you the truth.
:58:31
It's Delphine, the old blind woman.
:58:34
She'll explain how
it's all because of Africa.
:58:39
I don't deserve to kiss you
and I never dared to speak to you,
:58:44
but maybe now you can forgive me
:58:48
and even pray for poor Ugolin and me.
:58:56
Even I find myself a pitiable being.
