:25:28
Would it be very wrong of me
to answer Monsieur Danceny's letters?
:25:32
-ln the circumstances, yes.
-ln what circumstances?
:25:35
lt's not my place to tell you this, my dear...
:25:38
...if l hadn't become so fond of you....
:25:40
Go on, please.
:25:42
Your marriage has been arranged.
:25:44
-Who is it?
-Oh, someone l know slightly.
:25:47
Monsieur le Comte de Bastide.
:25:48
-What's he like?
-Well....
:25:50
You don't like him?
:25:51
Oh, it's not that. He's a man
of somewhat erratic judgement.
:25:54
-And rather serious.
-How old is he?
:25:56
-Thirty-six.
-Thirty-six! He's an old man.
:26:02
Do you know when?
:26:03
ln the new year, l believe.
:26:07
Maybe there's a way to let you
write to Monsieur Danceny.
:26:10
Oh, Madame.
:26:15
lf you were to let me see both sides
of the correspondence...
:26:18
...l could reassure myself.
:26:20
But l can't show the letters
l've already sent him.
:26:46
l trust you slept well, Madame.
l wish l could say that l had.
:26:49
l thought the least l could hope for
was that you would respect me.
:26:52
But l do, of course l do!
:26:53
You've offended me deeply.
lt's unforgivable.
:26:55
This confirms everything
l've been told about you.
:26:59
l'm beginning to think you may
have planned the whole exercise.
