00:00Satsang with Mooji
01:30I give you a toast.
01:32To our absent hostess,
01:34Cora Papp.
01:35Cora Papp.
01:40Why did she get such an incredible dinner
01:42and not be present at it?
01:43I mean, what did she get out of that?
01:45Well, she hasn't made everyone talk about her, Custer.
01:48Ah, here it is.
01:50The meat horse we were promised.
01:52I don't think I can manage her.
01:54I don't think I can manage her.
02:01Ah!
02:01Ah!
02:02Ah!

02:06Ah!
02:06Ah!
02:07Ah!
02:07Ah!
02:08Ah!
02:12Who are you here at home?
02:14My name is Wilfred.
02:16Wilfred Blunt.
02:18Hello.
02:22Who are you here at home?
02:24My name is Wilfred.
02:26Wilfred Blunt.
02:46That's the virtue of innocence.
02:48Innocence is all very well in theory,
02:50but in practice it's nothing but lies.
02:52You have to keep telling the wretched girl that you love her.
02:54I can't really see you doing that.
02:56The legends are more trouble than there were.
02:58They're dead wrong. They're cheap. They're clean.
03:00What makes you think they're cheap?
03:02I must say I'm inclined to agree with you Grenville.
03:04I got my aunt under nursemaid in the family way last season
03:06and there was the devil to pay.
03:08Blunt.
03:10You're not drinking.
03:12Harry we're not looking after the newest member of Her Majesty's embassy.
03:14No well I did have enough of dinner.
03:16Quite an amusing evening don't you think?
03:20And how does Paris society compare with Madrid?
03:22There's no comparison at all.
03:24Well you know what we mean Blunt.
03:26The women are Spanish women as hot-blooded as they say.
03:28Well I don't know.
03:29You don't know?
03:30You were appointed to Madrid for a year weren't you?
03:32Yes. Yes almost a year.
03:34And you went without a woman for a year?
03:36Well no.
03:38No I didn't know any women in the sense that you mean.
03:40Oh hang on Custace.
03:42Perhaps Blunt had other interests.
03:44You're drunk Brendan.
03:48I'd make you answer.
03:52Mr Blunt.
03:54Will you dance with me?
04:00You went too far Tom.
04:02Oh I say if a man looks effeminate he is effeminate.
04:04That's what I say.
04:06I'm sorry I made you choke.
04:08Oh don't be I was feeling rather embarrassed.
04:10a bit of a pretty.
04:12You simply turned it into something very funny.
04:14I'm sorry I made you choke.
04:18Oh don't be I was feeling rather embarrassed a bit of a pretty.
04:24You simply turned it into something very funny.
04:28Then you were having a bit of trouble from those young men at the embassy weren't you?
04:30How did you know that?
04:32I saw their faces.
04:34Then yours.
04:36You in the embassy too?
04:38Yes yes I was appointed three weeks ago.
04:40Look you mustn't.
04:42I'm sorry I made you choke.
04:44I'm sorry I made you choke.
04:46Oh don't be I was feeling rather embarrassed a bit of a pretty.
04:48You simply turned it into something very funny.
04:50Then you were having a bit of trouble from those young men at the embassy weren't you?
04:52Well look you mustn't find them.
04:54When they've had a bit to drink they boast like all young swells.
04:58It's...
05:00You're not like them are you?
05:02No no I don't think so.
05:04I mean you're a bit of a knob but you're not a snob are you?
05:06Well they say everybody's a snob about something.
05:08Oh that puts me in my place.
05:10I'm sorry I didn't mean to.
05:12It's all right.
05:14Let me think.
05:16You're right.
05:18Well what are you a snob about?
05:20I'm a raging bleeding snob about horses.
05:22Oh but you should be I've seen you ride.
05:24Oh you have have you?
05:26When was that?
05:28Every day for the last week.
05:34What else do you know about me?
05:36Nothing.
05:38Except I'm in love with you.
05:40You just think you are.
05:42I've never seen a woman ride with such graceful courage.
05:48I fell in love with you.
05:50Is that all you know about me?
05:54Well I've spoken of you to no one.
05:56I knew that one day we should meet and I'd find out for myself.
06:00Now it's my turn.
06:02Only I'm not going to ask you questions I'm going to guess.
06:04Let me see.
06:06You're 23.
06:08You were brought up a Catholic.
06:10Oh yes.
06:12And I think your mother died when you were very young.
06:14Good God.
06:16What were I?
06:17And I think you're some kind of artist.
06:19A painter that's it.
06:20No no you're wrong.
06:21Well I do write poetry sometimes.
06:23Well that's not bad admit it.
06:25You've left out what's most important.
06:28That your name is Wilfred Blunt.
06:39What's your name?
06:41Skittles.
06:42No your real name.
06:44Catherine.
06:45Catherine Walter.
06:47Catherine?
06:48Catherine I love you and you make me laugh.
06:51Isn't that a marvellous combination?
06:53I'm glad I make you laugh.
06:55Well you do that to everyone though don't you?
06:57And I noticed even that sad looking old man that you're sitting next to at dinner.
07:01Well every time you spoke to him his face lit up as if the sun had come out.
07:05Is he your father?
07:10No.
07:11No he's not.
07:15Ah.
07:16It's time to go.
07:17Mr. Blunt.
07:18Monsieur Fool.
07:19Ah Monsieur Fool.
07:20What an admirable speech of yours I read this evening.
07:23No British conservative could have put it better.
07:25Did you read it Blunt?
07:26Well I'm not a conservative Lord Hubert.
07:28That man.
07:29No member of my staff is supposed to have political opinions let alone voice them.
07:35Madame forgive me.
07:36How kind you to bestow your inimitable attentions upon yet another of my young men.
07:41No kinder than you are Lord Hubert.
07:43I can't say fairer than that.
07:46Good night Mr. Blunt.
07:48Come Catherine.
07:56Good night Monsieur.
08:00I congratulate you on having monopolized the prettiest little horse breaker in the room.
08:03Who is Monsieur Fool?
08:04Minister of Finance.
08:05Well the chief advises to his imperial majesty.
08:07He's old and they say his health is poor.
08:09But Napoleon continues to rely on him.
08:11As of course to...
08:13But I'm sure she told you that.
08:14Oh I didn't ask.
08:16Ah.
08:17She is under the protection of Monsieur Fool.
08:20She's certainly not bad for him at his age.
08:22But then of course he's rich.
08:23He'd have to be rich.
08:25What do you mean?
08:26My dear young man.
08:27One cannot afford a rising young courtesan without money.
08:30They cost a very great deal of money.
08:33These are horizontal as the French have it.
08:36Such an expressive phrase don't you think?
08:38They've become the most expensive luxury money can buy.
08:41Little Skittles has been the rage both in London and in Paris.
08:45They say the Duke of Devonshire paid two thousand a year for life to get her off his son's back.
08:51Or perhaps to get her off her back for his son would be a more accurate description.
08:55I can't believe that.
08:57My dear boy you must.
08:58Why must?
08:59I mean she's so utterly unlike any of the other women here.
09:02Why must?
09:03Because she's out of your class.
09:04A young man in your position cannot afford her.
09:07And because she's mistress to one of the most powerful men in France.
09:11Well that is what I find so impossible to believe.
09:13That she could be in love with the old man.
09:16Who said anything about love my dear boy?
09:18Who said anything about love?
09:20Madame?
09:21Hmm?
09:22It is half past seven.
09:23Hmm?
09:24Oh.
09:25Oh.
09:26Is it a fine morning, Violette?
09:27Oh, beautiful day, Madame.
09:28Oh.
09:29A Monsieur Fool has asked me to say that he will breakfast with you.
09:33Oh.
09:34Entrez.
09:35Entrez.
09:36Entrez.
09:37Hmm?
09:43Oh!
09:46Is it a fine morning, Violette?
09:48Oh, beautiful day, madame.
09:50A Monsieur Foule has asked me to say
09:52that he will breakfast with you.
09:55Entrez!
10:07You look charming.
10:15The only woman I've ever known
10:17who can wear yellow in the mornings.
10:19I didn't hear you leave.
10:21Oh, you were very fast asleep.
10:23Did you sleep badly again?
10:25Poor Ashley.
10:27It's not important.
10:28One does not expect to sleep like a child at my age.
10:31Don't look so anxious.
10:33You have made me sleep better than for years.
10:37I would like some coffee.
10:41I was speaking to the Duke de Morne last night.
10:44He says the Emperor has expressed a desire to meet you.
10:49Are you pleased?
10:50Certainly.
10:51It will be good for your reputation.
10:54Will the Empress be there?
10:56No.
10:57She does not attend such parties.
11:01Eat your breakfast.
11:02Oh, I've told them again and again
11:05I don't want breakfast.
11:10What are these for?
11:12Two thank you.
11:14For last night.
11:16Oh, Achille, you are sweet to me.
11:24What's that?
11:25Oh, Achille.
11:26Oh, Achille.
11:27Oh, Achille.
11:28Oh, Achille.
11:29You are good to me.
11:30You're so kind.
11:31You're so good.
11:32Thank you ever so much.
11:33Thank you ever so much.
11:34Thank me in French.
11:35It would be good practice.
11:36Merci beaucoup.
11:37Merci beaucoup.
11:38Merci beaucoup.
11:39Merci beaucoup.
11:40Merci beaucoup.
11:41Merci beaucoup.
11:42Merci beaucoup.
11:43Very good.
11:44You see, you can speak French if you try.
11:45I'll try.
11:46But everybody speaks it so fast.
11:47I can only say dull things in it.
11:48I like to make people laugh.
11:49You are most amusing.
11:50Oh, Achille.
11:51Oh, Achille.
11:52Oh, Achille.
11:53You are good to me.
11:54You're so kind.
11:55You're so good.
11:56Thank you ever so much.
11:59Thank me in French.
12:00It would be good practice.
12:02Merci beaucoup.
12:03Merci beaucoup.
12:04Merci beaucoup.
12:05Merci beaucoup.
12:06Merci beaucoup.
12:07Very good.
12:08You see, you can speak French if you try.
12:10I'll try.
12:11But everybody speaks it so fast.
12:12I can only say dull things in it.
12:13I like to make people laugh.
12:14You are most amusing.
12:16And you know it.
12:17Yeah, but I like people to laugh because of what I've said, not how I've said it.
12:21That's why I like those young men from the British Embassy.
12:24I can have a larky time with them.
12:25Oh, they have no money.
12:27There are other Englishmen who will be more useful to your future.
12:30You would do well to study our hostess of last night.
12:34Ah!
12:35Catch me dancing down a table dressed in nothing but parsley.
12:38Cora Pearl is nothing but a vulgar tart.
12:41Catherine, this society is ruthless.
12:46There are few rules for men, but none for women of your kind.
12:50You're under my protection now, but already I'm an old man.
12:53My health is not so good.
12:58So, always think.
13:02Put away your feeling.
13:04I've spent enough time in your arms and you are not in love with me.
13:09To know the dangerous warmth of your heart.
13:13Oh, Catherine.
13:15A woman in your position must absolutely never fall in love.
13:20It could ruin you.
13:22Since you might gain nothing but passion in return.
13:26I've never been in love ashy. Never!
13:31You don't want to get rid of me yet, do you?
13:33No.
13:37I want to prepare you, my little Catherine.
13:40It is because you are so young you do not believe me.
13:44It is of when you are...
13:46less young.
13:47I want you to think.
13:49Yeah, well, I'm feeling older and gloomier every minute.
13:52I'll be crying my eyes out in the bois at this rate.
13:54No, you will not.
13:55Because your next present is waiting for you there.
14:00A horse.
14:01Oh, Achille, you bought me another horse.
14:04Don't tell me, let me guess.
14:06Irish.
14:08Bright bay.
14:09Black point.
14:10Sixteen hands and a white blaze on his forehead.
14:11Where's doggy?
14:12Ah!
14:13It's precious!
14:14Oh, Achille!
14:16Oh, you're a darling.
14:18Oh, now it feels like my birthday.
14:20Oh!
14:21I'll ride Persians and you can come and watch me.
14:23I'll have oysters for lunch and you can drink my health.
14:25Then I'll go shopping.
14:26A present for you as well.
14:27And I'll have champagne every bath.
14:29Ah!
14:30To drink, not to lie in.
14:31Don't look like that.
14:32And I'll wear me beautiful pearls for the opera this evening
14:34and I'll jam-pack the day.
14:37Only I warn you, Achille, I'll still stay 24.
14:40Madame?
14:41Your mistress wishes to be dressed.
14:43Oh!
14:44She will wear the velvet habit this morning.
14:47These were delivered by a young gentleman.
14:49Oh!
14:50Shall I draw your bath, Madame?
14:52Uh, no.
14:54Have it seen me.
14:55And for tonight, the black taffeta with his Spanish lace.
14:58It will set off your furs.
15:00Who sent you the roses?
15:03One of the young Englishmen.
15:05Ah, yes.
15:06The one I was talking to last night.
15:09He is in love with you?
15:10No.
15:11He says so.
15:12Oh, he's original.
15:14He's not like the others.
15:16He seems...
15:18lost.
15:20He's so innocent.
15:23God.
15:24I don't know what to do with him.
15:26I don't think he's ever known a woman.
15:28He's not my kind.
15:30And you would like to teach him, huh?
15:32I couldn't.
15:34He's in love with me.
15:36If I was to spend a night with him, treat him like other men,
15:41it would just make him more unhappy,
15:43get miserable, disillusioned.
15:45He'd end up hating me.
15:46I couldn't bear that.
15:47It would be so painful for him.
15:49Ah, yes.
15:50For him.
15:51And more than one night with someone so green,
15:54so inexperienced, so intensely romantic,
15:57would prove boring to you.
15:59It would be merely dull.
16:01Oh, he's not dull.
16:02He's very intelligent.
16:04So I've been told.
16:05It is quite remarkable how many good-looking young men
16:08are called intelligent.
16:10I must go.
16:12I thought you were coming to see me on Purchase.
16:15No.
16:16I have a meeting with the National Assembly.
16:18But I will come to the Bois to collect you.
16:21No.
16:22No.
16:23No.
16:24No.
16:37Ah.
16:38Ah.
16:39No.
16:40No.
16:41No.
16:42No.
16:43I was crouching peacefully in a commode.
17:05I believe I have to congratulate you upon what mr. Grenville your latest conquest I
17:31I don't know what you're trying to say no don't Grenville for God's sake oh I'm sorry
17:36perhaps it's the other way round but from the way in which Blunt speaks of you we might be
17:39forgive all right there are someone in demand doesn't say Blunt unless of course your man
17:42yes hold on damn if I'll stand for any more of this childish bloody nonsense
17:47remember where you are you're supposed to be English gentlemen representing her
17:52majesty's government in a foreign country I'll assume mr. Grenville's drunk so take
17:57him away he's no right to be here in that condition I'm warning you if you don't
18:00cart him off I'll send for Lord Hubert and they'll be hell to pay and what about
18:03Blunt I'll deal with mr. Blunt go on don't let me catch you turning this
18:09driveling bit of drunken malice into some death and honor at dawn folly go on be off
18:14with you
18:16well what have you got to say for yourself don't be angry what did you say to him well they were talking about you you must have said something it's not fit for you I can't I'd rather the truth whatever it's colour go on
18:35they were talking about you and they they said that you were a whore horizontal someone that would lie on their back for anyone that could afford them
18:45what did you say to that I told them it was a damn lie that I knew what you were like and that you wouldn't go to bed with any man that you didn't love but but Catherine I didn't pretend that I'd made a conquest of you I beg you to believe that
19:00you must believe me I love you
19:07now listen
19:14quite right
19:18nearly right
19:20I do sell myself
19:22to some people
19:23not for choice
19:25for choice
19:25I chose my profession it didn't choose me
19:28I'm not going to pretend even to please you
19:31they were wrong about one thing though
19:34I've never been to bed with a man I didn't like
19:37Catherine may I ask you one thing

20:02I know one thing more than you
20:05I know one thing more than you
20:35It's he who's in love with me, Ashiel.
20:54It's an infatuation. Extraordinary.
20:57At last. I just want...
20:59Catherine. All those young men are in love.
21:04What is it you want?
21:05One night.
21:09That's all I need. Just one night.
21:12One night?
21:13In order to make him
21:15more unhappy, more disillusioned, and so on?
21:18So that he may end up hating you?
21:20I don't understand.
21:22I could have simply...
21:26I didn't even have told you.
21:28Catherine.
21:40Catherine.
21:45It is the key to an apartment.
21:47The address is engraved upon you.
21:49You may have three days.
21:53Three?
21:54The emperor wishes to see you on Thursday.
21:57You have until then.
21:58Oh, my God.
21:59Shh.
22:01I do understand.
22:04Yes.
22:05Yes, I understand.
22:08Catherine.
22:08Oh, my God.
22:09Yes, I understand.
22:13Oh, my God.
22:17Catherine.
22:21Never mind.
22:22But remember that you have a head.
22:52You have a head.
23:22You have a head.
23:52You have a head.

26:33It's the most amazing, beautiful thing to do in the world.
26:38You have a head.
26:39But only with you, Catherine, only with you.
26:45You have a head.
26:46You have a head.
26:47I've never been in love before.
26:52I've never been in love before.
26:53I've never been in love before.
26:59Oh, God, you smell so sweet.
27:05You're so sweet.
27:06You're so sweet.
27:07It's a white flower.
27:08I can't remember.
27:09You're a gardenia, that's it.
27:12Only from now onwards, whenever I smell them, I shall think of you.
27:18No.
27:19I've never been in love.
27:20You're my first as well as my only love, Catherine.
27:23No, what is it?

27:26I'm beginning to want you again.
27:30Then it's time.
27:35for us to have supper.
28:00oh Catherine I was in such despair tonight
28:08I thought I cannot bear to go on meeting her
28:13seeing her only with crowds of people
28:16having to share what little I could ever have
28:18then I thought I'll go
28:21I'll leave
28:22it's just useless to love her
28:24and just as I was wishing that I could die

31:16Why, woken you weren't there.
31:19Have I offended you?
31:21No, of course you haven't.
31:22Oh, but something has happened, hasn't it?
31:24You must tell me, Catherine.
31:26I love you so much more now than last night.
31:31Yes?
31:32Well, I began to hope that perhaps you were beginning to fall in love with me.
31:46Crackers about you, my child.
31:50That's the honest truth.
31:56Thank you for coming to see me, Dr. Pinot.
32:01Monsieur.
32:02Ah, Duval, Dr. Pinot is leaving.
32:03I can see myself out.
32:05I've been here many times before.
32:07Good day to you, Monsieur.
32:08Good day.
32:10Oh, my God, Duval, these doctors!
32:12He prescribed something for you, sir?
32:14Simply that I should be actually bored.
32:16It's like me saying to the Emperor,
32:18your majesty is short of money,
32:19then do not spend any.
32:21It is amazing
32:22how one can become so distinguished and successful
32:25simply by giving advice of this nature.
32:29Is the dressmaker here?
32:31I've given her your instructions.
32:32She is waiting.
32:33Take her inside.
32:35Duval.
32:38Bring me a cognac.
32:41With a little water.
32:49All perfectly understood, Monsieur.
32:51The taffeta cafe au lait
32:53and the black lace
32:54to be delivered on Thursday evening.
32:56That is two days from now.
32:57Oh, it can be accomplished.
32:59Madame has such a beautiful figure.
33:00There is no difficulty.
33:02It is always a pleasure
33:03to make dresses for Madame.
33:05And the taste of Monsieur
33:06ensures perfection.
33:07The apparent simplicity,
33:08the elegance Monsieur insists upon.
33:10Thank you, Madame.
33:13And the fitting?
33:14Madame will come for the fitting
33:15tomorrow afternoon as usual.
33:16I'm sorry.
33:17There will be no fitting.
33:19No fitting?
33:20We will trust to the excellence of your art.
33:23Oh, but I always make the fitting with Madame.
33:25Miss Dammit will not be possible.
33:28Then I will stay the evening that I deliver
33:29to see that all is...
33:30No, no, no, no, Madame Bonnier.
33:31You will simply have the dress delivered.
33:33Madame is away.
33:34I'm not sure of the hour of her return.
33:36I would wait, Monsieur, for such a client.
33:38The dress is to be a surprise.
33:42Thank you, Madame. That will do.
33:44A surprise.
33:46Now I understand.
33:49Goodbye, Monsieur.
34:16So, after my mother died, that was how I was brought up.
34:17Half a severe boarding school and half a great country house.
34:19Funny mixture.
34:20Yes, it was.
34:21Now, with the Jesuits telling me the world did not
34:22have to be a great country house.
34:23Yes, it was.
34:24Now, with the Jesuits telling me the world did not have to be a great country house.
34:28Now, with the Jesuits telling me the world did not matter very much, my aunt telling me it did.
34:29It must have made you a bit confused about women.
34:30It must have made you a bit confused about women.
34:31Women?
34:32Oh, God.
34:33They made me desperate.
34:34They made me desperate about them.
34:35And I longed to be in love, but...
34:36It must have made you a bit confused about women.
34:37Women?
34:38Oh, God.
34:39I longed to be in love, but...
34:40Well, I thought it would be wicked.
34:41And there you are.
34:42And there you are.
34:43And there you are.
34:44And there you are.
34:45So, after my mother died, that was how I was brought up.
34:46Half a severe boarding school and half a great country house.
34:47Funny mixture.
34:48Yes, it was.
34:49Now, with the Jesuits telling me the world did not matter very much, my aunt telling me
34:53it did.
34:54It must have made you a bit confused about women.
34:57Women?
34:58Oh, God.
34:59They made me desperate about them.
35:01And I longed to be in love, but...
35:04Well, I thought it would be wicked.
35:06I know you are.
35:09And it isn't, is it, my darling?
35:20Yeah.
35:21It's perfect.
35:22And now I know you love me back.
35:36Tell me about your upbringing.
35:44Me?
35:47I wasn't brought up.
35:49I just grew.
35:50What did you do?
35:52I worked in a public house.
35:54Now, what did you do as a child?
35:56I told you I worked in a public house.
35:58In Liverpool.
36:00Delivery stables.
36:02Little places.
36:03anywhere to get away. from where home? on the street especially on Saturday nights
36:10that was when the men got drunk beat up the women. I took to staying on at the
36:17stables on Saturdays. I used to pinch a handful of oats and climb up in the
36:21hayloft underneath. in the winter I used to slip down and climb on the back of the
36:27old grey pony they use for carting out the muck. I'd lean forward put my arms
36:32around his neck. sleep. I'd keep rumma like that. and didn't your mother come to look for you?
36:44my mother never looked for me.
36:48it's all right. you've got me now. I'll always look for you.
37:02is that where they taught you to write? nobody taught me to write.
37:07I just watched. it's like you said about your poems. no one teaching you to write them.
37:14it's like that was anything important isn't it? I don't know perhaps.
37:17well you've taught me a lot in the last two days and nights.
37:22oh it's nothing.
37:26it's just I've had more practice.
37:29why say that?
37:31well it's true isn't it?
37:34Catherine you must know I can't bear to think of you in the arms of other men.
37:38well that was different Wilfred.
37:43that was made living. I didn't love them.
37:46and Lord Harsington did you not love him?
37:49I was fond of him. flattered.
37:52you wouldn't have married him.
37:54I might have.
37:56they say the family paid you two thousand pounds a year to go away. is that true?
38:02you were very generous.
38:04oh so you would do anything for money.
38:07marry without love or be paid off.
38:09all your life you thought of nothing else but money.
38:12and why else would you be with that old ugly man who can have nothing else but money to offer you?
38:16don't you speak of him like that.
38:18a shield fool's been very kind to me.
38:20yeah it's all very well for you. you've always had money. you can afford to be high and mighty about it.
38:24I've been with all those men because I'm a whore. it's my profession.
38:29it's the only way I could have made a decent living born as I was.
38:33if I'd stayed at home on our street I'd be an old woman by now.
38:36at 24.
38:37if I hadn't died in childbirth.
38:39only good for beating up on Saturday nights or I'd have become one of the local drabs hardly worth the penny for the gin.
38:44there's plenty of people in your class married without love for the money and the position and with a lot less cause.
38:48so you've no call to be self-righteous and smug.
38:54you knew where I was when you met me.
38:56people like me aren't supposed to fall in love. it's against the rules.
39:01now I'm trapped.
39:04I'm trapped.
39:06I'm trapped.
39:16and finally I must once more make clear to you the unanimous conviction of the
39:41banks of France that to place our country upon a gold standard would merely create chaos the
39:54banking houses do not want it and any attempt at legislation so utterly against their approval
40:03would result in a crisis of confidence a crisis read that last sentence to me would you devout
40:14the banking houses do not want it and any attempt at legislation so utterly against
40:19their approval would result in a crisis of such a crisis of confidence
40:24as to jeopardize France's position vis-a-vis trade
40:31and international transactions of any kind
40:36that will do make a copy of course I will sign it
40:41let be on sir that is enough for tonight what time is it
40:48just after midnight sir
40:54tell the servants to lock up they may go to bed
41:01yes sir the refreshments are waiting for you on the table sir

41:46Catherine.
41:47Catherine, wake up.
41:48Catherine.
41:49Catherine, wake up.
41:50Oh, it's a bad dream.
41:51It's a nightmare.
41:52Oh, shame it all alone.
41:53Nobody shall hurt you.
41:54You're with me.
41:55I love you.
41:56Oh, dear little Catherine.
41:58Oh, it's so dark.
41:59Wait.
42:00Wait up at the light.
42:02Oh, it's so dark.
42:03Wait.
42:04Wait up at the light.
42:05It's all right.
42:08Oh.
42:10Oh.
42:11There, now.
42:12Come on.
42:13Sit up.
42:14Sit up.
42:15Come on.
42:16Come on.
42:17Now, tell me your bad dream and you'll feel much better.
42:19Oh.
42:21Oh, I'm so frightened.
42:25Oh, darling, tell me.
42:27What frightened you so much?
42:30It was...
42:32I was right...
42:33I was right back where I started.
42:36I didn't have no proper clothes.
42:39They were all laughing at me.
42:42Oh.
42:43I can't remember.
42:44It's all over.
42:45You're with me now.
42:46Oh.
42:47Now I am.
42:48No, always.
42:49Wilfred.
42:50Yes.
42:51Wilfred.
42:52Shall we always be friends?
42:55For the rest of our lives.
42:57Oh, my darling, Wilfred.
42:58Oh.
42:59Catherine, I want you to marry me.
43:00Oh, no.
43:01I didn't mean that.
43:02No, listen, Catherine.
43:03We should be married and we'll be wonderfully happy.
43:04They won't let you stay in the foreign office if you're married.
43:05Then I shall just have to leave the foreign office.
43:06It will ruin your career.
43:07Then I'll start another career.
43:08What about your family?
43:09Your family?
43:10Oh, I don't give a hang about my career, my family, about anything compared to you.
43:23I want to marry you, look after you, protect you.
43:28It doesn't matter if we haven't any money.
43:30I could write poetry.
43:31I could probably write other things.
43:34We could live in the country very quietly.
43:37Oh, Catherine, we'd be so happy.
43:39It wouldn't matter if we didn't have any money.
43:41I mean, it didn't matter if we hadn't got a bean.
43:44All you have to do is to trust me and love me.
43:50Because I love you.
43:52Oh, I love you.
44:07I love you.
44:32Dear Wilfrid, I have to go.
44:51I...
44:58could only...
45:01me...
45:05me...
45:10if...
45:13I...
45:18I would have stayed with you always.
45:26but we could not be married as you are a gentleman and I am a whore.
45:33I will always be your friend.
45:37Good evening. Madame Bonnier.
45:40Oh, how exquisite.
45:43Good evening, Monsieur.
45:45You will understand, of course, Monsieur, that it was with the utmost difficulty I have created this dress.
45:50No time, no fitting.
45:52It was not possible to foresee how the lace will fall until it is on the shoulders.
45:56That is understood.
45:58I can accept no responsibility, you understand, Monsieur,
46:00for work that has to be carried out in this manner.
46:02You've done extremely well, Madame Bonnier.
46:04I congratulate you.
46:06That will be all. Duval?
46:08And what shall I do, Monsieur?
46:18You may draw your mistress a bath.
46:27Three days.
46:29I'm not late.
46:31No.
46:37I've been riding Purchase.
46:40I rode him all day.
46:42Miles and bloody miles.
46:44Without a habit?
46:46Without a saddle either.
46:48Best way to get to know a horse.
46:50It is time to prepare your toilette.
46:53For the Emperor.
46:55What am I to wear?
47:00I had a dress made for you.
47:18Oh, God!
47:20And what is this game that is your name?
47:26Skittles, Your Majesty.
47:27And how do you play it?
47:29You set up nine pins in a pattern, you see,
47:32and then you try to knock them all down with one ball.
47:34If you're good, you knock them all down with one shot.
47:36You must show me.
47:38After a supper.
47:39Ah, Monsieur de Camille.
47:41How do I show you?
47:42You must be so exhausted teaching people,
47:44or should I say, initiating them into your various skills.
47:47Ah, but then I never even attempt to teach an old dog new tricks, Lord Hugh.
47:52Katherine,
47:54shall we go to supper?
47:59All he needs is our little matador to complete the scene.
48:12Not so easy, huh?
48:13Well, it's more difficult without the proper skittles.
48:16Yes.
48:17Show me.
48:21Right.
48:31Woo!
48:32Amazing!
48:34Amazing!
48:35One shot, amazing!
48:36Oh, it is amazing what you can do with one shot, Your Highness.
48:39Lord Hartington one day out on a pheasant shoot
48:42is reputed to have shot a retriever,
48:44the retriever's owner,
48:45and his own chef who just happened to be in the line of fire.
48:48What a bag!
48:49What a day!
48:50I know, Your Highness, but he missed the bloody pheasant!
48:53Most amazing.
48:54And what else can you tell us, little skittles?
48:56Uh, well, um...
48:58Three gentlemen were trying to beat each other about what was savoir faire.
49:03That's all the French there is in this story, Your Highness, so excuse me accent.
49:07Anyway, the first one says,
49:08if I came upon my wife making love to another man,
49:10and I simply shut the door upon them and went away without saying a word,
49:13that would be savoir faire.
49:14The second one says,
49:15no!
49:16If I came upon my wife making love to another man,
49:18and I said,
49:19excuse me,
49:20pray continue,
49:21that would be savoir faire.
49:23The third one said,
49:24Catherine!
49:31The third said,
49:32you're both wrong.
49:33If I came upon my wife making love to another man,
49:35and I said,
49:36excuse me,
49:37pray continue,
49:38and he could continue,
49:40that in my opinion would be savoir faire.
49:43That will do, Violette.
49:53Sir.
49:56Good night, madame.
50:08You did very well tonight, Catherine.
50:11I was proud of you.
50:13I was proud of you.
50:20Something to give you.
50:30The key he gave me.
50:34You have quite finished with it.
50:37Why is she?
50:38I'll never, never be in love again as long as I live.
50:50Oh, no.
50:55It...
50:56It...
50:58It makes me...
51:00ache so...
51:04as if I'd broken something.
51:09It is a difficult...
51:12sometimes...
51:15an intolerable situation.
51:16You're glad I'm back.
51:29Yes.
51:33Yes, I'm glad you're back.
51:35Achille Foole died four years later in 1867.
51:42Skittles returned to England to pursue her career with great success.
51:47She and Wilfred Blunt remained friends until her death in 1920.
51:51Wilfred died two years later in 1922.
51:54In 1922.
51:55In 1922.
51:56In 1922.
51:57In 1922.
