:18:18
What exactly do you think you're doing?
:18:21
l am impounding these effects, sir.
:18:23
Has it not been explained to you?
Monsieur Armand is not well.
:18:26
l don't make the laws, sir.
l just do what l'm told.
:18:29
Everybody has to pay his taxes.
:18:31
How much does he owe?
:18:33
How much?
:18:35
Fifty-six
livres.
:18:36
-Pay him.
-Yes, my lord.
:18:46
Monsieur Armand....
:18:48
Excuse me, you don't know me.
:18:50
Of course l do, Monsieur le Vicomte.
:18:52
Please, don't get up.
:18:53
-l have to. They're taking the bed.
-No, not at all.
:18:57
No one's taking anything.
:19:19
Just to tide you over. l insist.
:19:24
Me, sir....
:19:25
Fifty-six livres to save
an entire family from ruin.
:19:28
That seems a genuine bargain.
:19:30
These days, my lord,
you can find half a dozen like that...
:19:32
...in any village in the country.
:19:34
Really?
:19:35
l must say the family was
very well chosen.
:19:37
Solidly respectable...
:19:39
...gratifyingly tearful,
no suspiciously pretty girls. Well done.
:19:43
l do my best for you, sir.
:19:44
And all that humble gratitude.
lt was most affecting.
:19:46
Certainly brought a tear to my eye.
:19:48
That's from her husband.
:19:55
This must be from
that officious friend of hers.
