Madame,you were right.
1:27:09
I was not the master
of these festivities...
1:27:12
but their slave.
1:27:16
When you read this...
1:27:19
Is hall have left this world
with only one regret.
1:27:22
That I cannot be with you.
1:27:35
In the last three days
I have come to understand...
1:27:38
that I treasure freedom
above all.
1:27:42
Between Condé and Versailles
the pass is narrow...
1:27:46
and I have takenlt.
1:27:50
May you find a better road.
1:27:55
Your home is, I think,
in the south.
1:27:59
If so, remember that
there is a place...
1:28:02
not faraway, in Vaucluse...
1:28:05
where they plant cherry trees
among the vines.
1:28:09
The taste of the cherries...
1:28:11
comes through in the wine.
1:28:21
The fish banquet was
a tremendous success...
1:28:24
even though the sauce lacked
perhaps that touch of perfection.
1:28:29
But that was over looked...
1:28:31
in the excitement of
declaring waron the Dutch...
1:28:34
and of Condé receiving
his command.
1:28:39
0f course no one dared
to tell the kingthe truth.
1:28:43
And soon the word went round...
1:28:45
Vatel killed him self
because of the fish.
1:28:48
Which flattered His Majesty...
1:28:51
and pleased his courtiers.
