"He took a chair. Sat down.
:26:05
And said she was not like the others
but. In her way. More lovely. "

:26:09
"Her eyes became so large.
He wanted to smile. "

:26:12
"As it was rather warm.
He took off his jacket. "

:26:16
"He suggested
she take off her raincoat. "

:26:19
"She hesitated. But did so.
:26:21
And placed it carefully
over the back of a chair. "

:26:24
I'll summarise the rest. I'm in a hurry.
:26:26
- To see me.
- OK.

:26:29
"She was trembling."
:26:31
"He took her in his arms
and removed her sweater."

:26:34
"He undid her skirt,
which fell to her feet."

:26:37
"With one foot.
She pushed the skirt away. "

:26:40
"She looked at it on the floor
like an unknown object. "

:26:45
"She lay on the bed,
her eyes covered by her arm."

:26:47
"He took off her stockings. Panties..."
:26:50
- I'll summarise...
- No. Please.

:26:52
"Caresses. Kisses... And her?"
:26:55
"Shame bound her to the bed.
Leaving her wholly abandoned. "

:26:59
"The man also undressed."
:27:02
"He opened her thighs
and penetrated her. "

:27:04
"She felt a pain almost as sharp
as on her bridal night.

:27:07
But followed moments later.
As he moved in her.

:27:11
By an illumination of her body such
as she had never believed possible. "

:27:16
"He orders tea. Brought by a maid.
She gets dressed. "

:27:20
"The street. The girls. Are still there.
She sees her husband in a café. "

:27:24
"She hesitates. Joins him."
:27:26
"He begs forgiveness.
Can't understand it..."

:27:29
"She says nothing."
:27:31
"He insults himself, then says:
:27:33
"I came back after 10 minutes.
I've been wandering around..."

:27:37
"He adds, softly: What did you do?"
:27:41
"I wandered around, too, she said."
:27:45
"He took her hand,
and she did not pull away."

:27:47
"He says:
Jocelyne, we'll forget all this."

:27:50
"We'll stay at home
on Sunday, watch TV."

:27:54
"He asks if she wants a drink. Silence."
:27:57
"He suggests tea.
Strange, he knows she never drinks it."
