So you'll practice reading
tonight on your own for me ?

:13:10
'And so the professor lifted
Columbe's skirt...

:13:15
"high above her waist.
:13:19
"'Let me be your tutor,' said he,
'in the ways of love.'

:13:24
"With that,
he slid her pantalettes down,

:13:28
"down, down over her knees.
:13:31
'And there,
nestled between her legs,

:13:33
"waspink of the tulip...
:13:36
as slick as an eel-"
:13:38

" He gazed upon her Venus mound,

and a chisel, and he uses them

And two young mothers
miscarried their babies.

:14:31
I'd say that's murder enough.
:14:34
If you're going to slander him,
then you don't deserve
to hear his stories.

:14:38
I believe

:14:41
- That's what I think.
- It's not the marquis
she's sweet on, is it, Madeleine ?
