:36:00
A feeble disguise.
:36:01
I fought then, cousin
against such lies...
:36:06
not for my nose but your bright eyes.
:36:10
The other thing is...
:36:19
But before I mention it...
:36:24
I have to rediscover the almost brother
of our games way back.
:36:29
When you spent the summer in Bergerac.
:36:32
Little Roxane was called Magdeleine.
:36:35
Was I pretty then?
:36:37
You weren't plain.
:36:39
You'd hurt your hand up a tree
:36:41
I'd play mother and gruffly say:
''What's this scratch, pray?''
:36:47
Oh, what's this?
:36:49
No! Put your hand flat.
:36:54
Still, at your age?
Where did you do that?
:36:58
At play, near the Porte de Nesles.
:37:04
A fight?
:37:05
Hardly, it was just an argument.
:37:08
Tell me, while I clean the wound
how many were they?
:37:11
Almost a hundred.
:37:13
Tell me!
:37:14
No. You tell me your story
if you dare tell it now.
:37:22
Now, I dare.
:37:25
I breathe the perfume of the past.
:37:29
Yes, now I dare.
:37:32
I'm in love with someone.
:37:35
He doesn't know.
:37:38
Well, not yet.
:37:40
But he will know very soon.
:37:43
And he loves me too, but timidly
from afar, without a word.
:37:49
Give me your hand. How hot it is.
:37:53
Love is on those lips of his.
:37:56
And just think, dear cousin
