-Maman?
-Certainly.
:58:03
More noted for her enthusiasm
than her ability...
:58:06
...if l remember rightly.
:58:08
There was a famous occasion
before you were born....
:58:11
This would have been...
:58:18
...when your mother went to stay
with the Comtesse de Beaulieu...
:58:22
...who tactfully gave her a room
between your father's...
:58:24
...and that of a Monsieur de Vressac...
:58:26
...who was her acknowledged
lover at the time.
:58:29
Yet,
in spite of these careful arrangements...
:58:32
...she contrived to spend
the night with a third party.
:58:36
l can't believe that.
:58:37
No, no, l assure you, it's true.
:58:40
How do you know?
:58:42
The third party was myself.
:58:58
You asked me if Monsieur de Bastide
would be pleased with your abilities.
:59:02
And the answer is...
:59:04
...education is never a waste.
:59:14
Now...
:59:16
...l think we might begin...
:59:19
...with one or two Latin terms.
:59:56
We go for a walk together
almost every day.
:59:59
A little further every time down the path...
