1:26:00
Are you still troubled by
your understandings, Miss Bond?
1:26:04
- I'm in much pain this afternoon.
- I'm so sorry to hear it.
1:26:07
Ah, trés jolie, trés jolie. Superbe!
1:26:11
Such exquisite embroidery.
1:26:13
What are you wearing
underneath your gown?
1:26:15
Only my frillies.
1:26:17
Alas, no corsets, I'm afraid to say.
1:26:20
Shall we be revealing a little,
Madame Leon?
1:26:23
- I certainly hope not, Miss Braham.
- Oh, what a pity.
1:26:27
Do take care, Miss Morton!
1:26:29
Makes one rather drowsy.
1:26:31
- It does look comfortable, Sibyl.
- Indeed it is.
1:26:35
La kimono! Doucement, doucement!
Gently, gently.
1:26:39
Ooh, the silk is sublime, Madame Leon.
1:26:42
Indeed.
From Mr Liberty's store, don't you know?
1:26:44
Bona fide Japanese,
and just a "soupçon" from gay Paris.
1:26:49
- C'est magnifique!
- Oui.
1:26:52
Is one to be prevented
from wearing one's corset?
1:26:55
None of the ladies shall be
wearing corsets during the performance.
1:26:58
- That's simply preposterous.
- Our aim is to emulate Japanese ladies.
1:27:02
And they are as thin as threadpaper!
1:27:04
As a Roman column
is opposed to a Grecian urn.
1:27:07
Quite so.
1:27:08
I fear for my reputation, don't you know?
1:27:12
I am following Mr Gilbert's instructions.
1:27:14
Mr Gilbert desires
the Japanese appearance.
1:27:16
That which Mr Gilbert desires,
Mr Gilbert must have. "Fait accompli!"
1:27:20
One can hardly cut a dash
in this... dressing gown!
1:27:23
Do stop fussing, Jessie, please!
1:27:25
- It's delightful, Madame Leon!
- Thank you.
1:27:28
- It's shapeless.
- Yes, Miss Bond, it is shapeless.
1:27:31
Japanese ladies are most shapeless...
1:27:34
...but there is no need
for "you" to be shapeless.
1:27:36
I have devised a solution -
if I may crave your indulgence.
1:27:39
Miss Morton... Miss Grey,
would you kindly raise your arms?
1:27:43
Merci, merci!
Now, the bow goes at the back.
1:27:46
The sash at the front, lined with calico.
1:27:49
Now... "tournez. Tournez, s'il vous plaît."
1:27:52
Now, this may be laced
as tightly as you require.
1:27:55
Tournez... á gauche, á gauche.
1:27:57
Oui.
1:27:59
So you see, in effect, it is a corset!
