Eugenie Page #2

---

'tis but folly on our parents when they

foretell the disasters of a Libertine Career.

There are thorns everywhere.

But along the path of vice,

roses bloom above them.

Profit then from the fairest

period of your life.

These golden years of pleasure

are only too few and too brief.

For we are so fortunate

as to have enjoyed them.

Delicious memories console

and amuse us in our old age.

'tis us, my dear.

You will remain in human memory."

Well said, brother.

I don't normally give

my best performances in public.

Oh, that's not what I've heard.

Oh, but Eugenie,

what are you doing reading a book?

In lovely weather like this,

we should all be outside.

How about a swim before we eat?

I've got a better idea...

- Yes?

Oh!

Get out!

Who is she?

Why have I never seen her before?

She never leaves the island.

Poor girl.

She's happy enough.

As she can't speak or hear,

other people disturb her.

She prefers solitude.

Oh, I'd better unpack.

Oh, why bother?

I have enough clothes for the both of us.

Oh!

Oh, wonderful!

- Just look!

And they're all yours?

You can take whatever you like.

Half of them I'll never wear again.

Oh. What a lovely dress!

Can I have this one?

You can have whatever you like.

Oh...

Come, let's have a bath now, hmm?

OK!

You know, you're so good to me,

I can hardly believe I'm here.

My mother thinks I'm spending the

weekend with some school friends.

My father was supposed

to drive me to the station.

Instead, he brought me to the harbour,

where the boat was waiting,

just as you promised.

Come, let me help you.

Don't be shy.

You've nothing to be ashamed of!

You know, one day

a man will do what I'm doing.

His hands will replace mine.

Come on!

Let's get some sun.

Lie down,

let me put some of this on you.

Oh, I can do it myself.

Not so well...

And afterwards,

you can take care of me.

Are you glad to be here?

Do you need to ask?

Do you remember what I promised you?

Yes, you promised me

information and advice.

Good. There's so much for you to learn.

Are you sure you're ready to begin?

Yes. If you're the teacher, of course I am.

Alright. Well. Let's start.

I give you a toast!

- A toast!

To Eugenie, the most adorable

of all nature's adorable creatures.

Eugenie, you're not drinking!

To myself?

- And why not?

A degree of selfishness

is a very important part

of the armoury of

a woman of experience.

OK, I'll obey my teacher!

Good girl!

- Bravao!

Hmm. I'm not used

to that much wine you know.

A good wine helps

to strengthen one's resolution.

But good resolutions I hope.

Wine has got nothing to do with virtue.

But a great deal to do with pleasure!

Sister, you've wined
