:42:00
Since you must know birds,
Madame Sand,

:42:02
what do you think of our local partridge?
:42:05
We flushed four of them
in a field this afternoon.

:42:08
Your friend Mallefille here
shot three of them.

:42:12
I only wounded the last one.
It flew away.

:42:15
I don’t know how it could fly -
one wing was nearly torn off.

:42:19
When we were wandering back,
we saw it thrashing about in the garden.

:42:23
The dogs had got it!
One of the bitches had bitten off its head.

:42:28
- Feathers were flying everywhere...
- Charles!

:42:31
(violent coughing)
:42:35
Now see what you’ve done!
:42:39
What the devil’s the matter with him?
:42:41
He has trouble with his lungs.
Makes a misery of his life.

:42:46
He should be bled.
:42:48
We have an excellent physician. He’s
developed a special variety of leeches.

:42:53
Painless, and they leave very little mark.
:42:55
Better yet,
send in George to Monsieur Chopin.

:42:58
She leaves no mark at all.
:43:01
Hungarian humour, George.
:43:03
(crash)
:43:04
- You are too familiar. Apologise.
- Sit down, you ass!

:43:08
- You think I don’t know what’s going on?
- She has made love with Monsieur Liszt?

:43:12
Apologise or I’ll rip your throat out!
:43:15
Apologise!
:43:17
- Agh! Alfred!
- St George!

:43:21
- What are "you" doing here?
- I’m the dragoon. I was invited.

:43:25
Duchess, I’ve only just arrived.
:43:27
Thank God I was in time
to defend Madame Sand’s honour.

:43:30
- You followed me.
- He’s the one?

:43:32
- You’re starting up with him again?
- I’d sooner chew glass.

:43:38
Choose your seconds
and meet me at dawn, sir.

:43:41
- No more duels!
- This is men’s business.

:43:44
- I accept.
- Men? You’re not fit to be men!

:43:48
Morons! Idiots!
:43:52
Choose your weapons, Mallefille.
Red or white?

:43:57
Leave her alone!
She’s going off to write about us.
