5 years ago, I thought I'd marry
:19:13
on the day I opened this house.
:19:16
Men's foIIy dictated otherwise.
:19:20
How many of those who worked
on my project are stiII aIive?
:19:24
How many died atrociousIy?
:19:28
First, the architect,
:19:31
Patinier, kiIIed in the battIe
of CharIeroi.
:19:36
Laferriére, kiIIed on the Somme.
Marquet, Grumbert...
:19:40
Trévoux, kiIIed in '17 at SaIonika.
:19:49
Empires have faIIen, fortunes,
incIuding mine, dwindIed.
:19:54
The woman I was to marry
wed another.
:20:08
I've traveIed... a Iot.
:20:12
I aImost dropped the project
100 times.
:20:15
It stiII isn't finished.
:20:20
But it is urgent to consecrate
this tempIe of happiness.
:20:26
A new kind of happiness!
:20:28
A new happiness?
:20:30
Then it's a ceIebration.
:20:34
More Iike an... experiment.
:20:38
Perhaps we shouId say, a journey.
:20:42
AIthough we won't Ieave here.
:20:45
This is going to be fun.
:20:49
If the paIace isn't finished,
why not postpone things?
:20:53
To when the paint is dry?
:20:55
I couId wait no Ionger.
:20:58
You were wounded in the war?
So was I.
