:28:06
You must be tired.
:28:06
Our Hirondelle tosses you around
terribly.
:28:10
That's true, but I like being shaken
up.
:28:14
I like to move about.
:28:16
It's so gloomy to be stuck in one
place.
:28:19
M. and Mme Bovary, this is Leon
Dupuis...
:28:22
clerk to our notary, Maitre
Guillaumin.
:28:25
This is M. Bovary, our new doctor,
and his wife.
:28:28
If you were like me, always on
horseback...
:28:32
Medical practice isn't too hard in
these parts.
:28:36
They pay pretty well.
:28:38
Medically speaking, apart from
cases...
:28:41
of bronchitis, enteritis, etc...
:28:43
we have fevers at harvest time...
:28:45
and, of course, scrofula...
:28:47
due to the peasants' deplorable
conditions.
:28:50
You'll have to fight superstition...
:28:54
a lot of stubbornness...
:28:55
They often resort...
:28:58
to prayer, religion and the priest...
:29:00
rather than coming to see the
doctor or the chemist.
:29:06
The climate is temperate here.
:29:08
We're sheltered from the north
wind by the Argueil Forest...
:29:12
and from the west by St. Jean's
Hill.
:29:15
However, this heat...
:29:17
given off by the river's vapour...
:29:20
and the herds of cattle...
:29:23
which exhale ammoniac...
:29:25
nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen...
:29:28
Are there any walks here?
:29:30
Very few.
:29:32
There's the pasture...
:29:34
up the hill at the edge of the
woods.
:29:36
I sometimes take a book up there
at sunset.
:29:41
Nothing's more wonderful than a
sunset.
:29:44
Especially at the sea-side.
:29:47
I love the sea!
:29:49
Doesn't that expanse uplift your
soul?
:29:52
Mountainscapes can be like that.
:29:55
In Switzerland, for example...
:29:57
And music?
:29:58
I don't play but I like it a lot.
