1:29:01
l have in fact only just returned.
1:29:04
Without attracting the attention
of your porter?
1:29:07
l think it may be time to review
your domestic arrangements.
1:29:09
l am exhausted.
Naturally, l instructed the porter...
1:29:12
...to inform any casual callers
that l was out.
1:29:16
And you here as well...
1:29:18
...my dear, young friend.
1:29:23
The porter appears to be having
a somewhat erratic evening.
1:29:29
Yes.
1:29:30
As a matter of fact,
it is you that l am looking for.
1:29:33
ls it?
1:29:35
Mademoiselle Cécile returns to Paris
after an absence of over two months.
1:29:39
Now what do you suppose
is uppermost in her mind?
1:29:42
Answer, of course, the longed-for
reunion with her beloved Chevalier.
1:29:47
Vicomte, this is no time to make mischief.
1:29:49
Nothing could be further
from my mind, Madame.
1:29:52
Go on.
1:29:54
lmagine her distress and alarm when
her loved one is nowhere to be found.
1:29:58
l have had to do more improvising
than an ltalian actor.
1:30:01
How is she? ls she all right?
1:30:04
Oh, yes. Well, no, to be quite frank.
1:30:07
l'm sorry to tell you she has been ill.
1:30:09
-lll!
-Calm yourself, my friend.
1:30:11
The surgeon has declared her
well on the road to recovery.
1:30:14
But you can well imagine how
desperate l have been to find you.
1:30:18
Of course, l....
1:30:19
My God, how could l have
been away at such a time?
1:30:22
How can l ever forgive myself?
1:30:27
But look, all is well now with Cécile,
l assure you.
1:30:31
And l shan't disturb you further.
1:30:34
lt is only that l have a little
something to show the Marquise.
1:30:49
Wait in my dressing room.
1:30:52
-lt is through there.
-l know where it is.
