sit in this rat-hole
for days on end.
There`s a sunny day outside,
and here it`s always dark.
Your hot water, monsieur.
Take it away!
- My god, it`s stuffy in here!
- Virginie!
Yes, monsieur?
Seven minutes to nine in the
morning my wife told me:
``Bapertuis, I`ll go buy myself
a pair of gloves.``
- Suede gloves.
- I`m sorry, monsieur.
``I`ll go buy myself a pair of
suede gloves.``
I won`t believe that to buy
a pair of suede gloves...
Virginie!
How was my wife dressed?
In her new dress with flounces.
And she had on a hat
made of Italian straw.
The hat?! The one presented to
her by the baroness?
- Her god-aunt.
- God-mother.
- God-aunt!
- God-mother.
The hat that is worth
500 francs!
And all that trouble to buy
a pair of gloves?
- Suede gloves.
- Yes, suede gloves.
- Strange.
- Strange indeed.
What is it you find so strange?
I`m sure my wife is visiting
with some friends.
You will go to Madame Aloa
immediately.
Monsieur, I`m sure she
is not there.
Not there? Then you know...
Me? I don`t know a thing.
I said: ``I don`t think she...``
I can`t.
It`s not walking distance.
Very well. Take a fiacre.
Oh, Anais, Anais!
Here I am, Felix.
Let`s go see the wedding gifts.
Wait for me.
The landlord will be here
at 10 with the guests.
Then everyone will go to
the Mayor`s office.
You need to stack the hay
and finish painting the stables.
And secondly...
Too much tobacco
is bad for your health.
- You may die.
- I won`t die.
Monsieur Felix, between us...
Why do you think your master
decided to get married?
He is in love.
If you will need an extra
housemaid,
keep me in mind, will you?
You don`t want to work for
your master any more?
Don`t even remind me of him.
He`s a jealous grumbler.
And his wife... It`s not good to
discuss your masters...
But she`s a canting hypocrite,
a poseur, and oh so touchy.
And soon as he`s gone,
she disappears.
She`s made of the same
stuff that everyone else.
Besides I`d love to be closer
to my dear friend.
( song )
Glory is poison,
but honor is worth it.
From now on I know not peace.
God, have mercy on me
and send me an enemy.
I want to have something
to die for in battle.
The sword will resolve
all arguments.
Hit and stab, and go mad!
The more brave the musketeers...
The more cheerful the kings.
The more brave the musketeers,
the more cheerful the kings.
- What is this?
- Don`t feel embarrassed.
It`s only me, uncle Visinair.
- Are the guests here yet?
- Not yet.
Thank you.
You`re here for the wedding,
young man?
- Shall we dance the regodon.
- Oh, regodon!
He`s deaf as an old stump,
an old stump.
- Thank you.
- You`re welcome.
I thought the meeting was set
at the Mayor`s office,
but in fact it is here.
- The Mayor passed away.
- Yes.
- Died of the flue.
- Oh, no, no!
I came by a fiacre. Take
this to the newlywed`s room.
My wedding present.
My dearest nephew!
Fadinard!
Who is that?
- Your uncle.
- My uncle?
You`re free to go. Now I have
better company.
- Uncle!
- My dearest nephew!
- Congratulations.
- What with?
All my wife`s relatives
love kissing around.
- I left Cherantonaux at 8 a.m...
- Where is the bride?
Following us. As I said, I
left Cherantonaux at 8...
- I brought a present.
- Please sit down.
I was going through a forest...
and I had to make a stop.
Indeed, such elevated feelings
do you credit.
What feelings?
- I burnt my hands with nettle.
- I`m happy for you.
Thank you.
I go back and I don`t
see my horse.
I search about - the horse
is gone.
You lost your horse?
I`m talking to a deaf person
here. Don`t interfere.
I would put it this way:
Only good husbands have
good wives.
So the horse was gone.
I come closer, and what
do I see?
My horse is chewing on a wisp of
straw decorated with poppies.
Then a woman yells:
``My hat!``
The wisp of straw appeared
to be a hat.
She hung it on a branch when she
was chatting with an officer.
- A very
