And threw me out of her place.

She must've thought I had

something awfully contagious.

But I can't stand to live in a

boarding school like a ten-year-old.

Oh, wow. You come back strong.

Yeah, you know, I feel really well.

I mean, it's almost as if nothing

had happened. It's incredible.

-And all thanks to professor Verdegast.

-Verdegast?

-He came to look at you?

-Yeah.

Come in.

Hi, Pavlos.

Thank you.

You'd better keep an eye on that

lighter. He really likes it.

Yes, but I don't think he's a thief.

At least you know.

-Are you eating up here?

-Yeah, they put me on a restricted diet.

And on a restricted diet, they give you wine?

That's professor Verdegast's idea.

Says it'll build up my blood.

The bell. Oh, god. That means

it's only 15 minutes till supper.

I'd better change.

-Ciao. See you later.

-Okay.

Where? Where?

Everywhere. The whole floor.

It's disgusting! It's disgusting!

-Where are they coming from?

-I don't know! Let's go and see!

-They're coming from the ceiling.

-In the meantime, everybody downstairs.

Don't let anyone come up.

I'm sorry. Truly mortified.

Please excuse me.

But it was nothing to do

with you, madame.

No, of course not, girls.

It was not madame Blanc's fault.

We ordered those cases

of food by mail...

From a reliable firm that

we thought to be honest.

Obviously, It arrived spoiled.

In a few days' time,

you see what happened.

-Oh, it was awful.

-Yes, one got in my mouth.

I suppose we're fortunate those things

only reached the floor below the attic.

-Are the other floors all right?

-Yes. We checked them out.

Just the floor where the

students' rooms are.

Well, I'll take care of the problem

of fumigating in the morning.

In the meantime, for tonight, I've

thought of a makeshift arrangement.

Go and see how they're getting

along, will you, dear?

The boys have kindly offered to help,

And they and the servants are turning

the practice hall into a dormitory.

If some of you choose to find hotel

rooms, I'll have no objections.

But it's already late,

and in any case,

The inconvenience will only

be for one night.

We'll all sleep together.

-Bravo.

-You all right?

-Yes, thank you.

-Fine.

-Is everything all right?

-Yes, thank you.

-Good.

-Are you all right?

Yes, madame Blanc. Thank you.

-Oh, it's very comfortable. Just like being in camp.

-Good.

Are you sleeping here with

us, too, Madame Blanc?

Certainly, as are all the other

teachers and miss Tanner.

Do the teachers live here at school?
