Five Day Lover Page #2

right now, in Paris?

It's on the meter: 600 francs.

My God, 600 francs!

Well, Mrs. Thibault.

You're always running at this hour.

That's true!

I don't know why I run.

It's about time you came home!

Husbands can wait...

Husbands always wait, right?

Is it you, my dear?

I'll be right there. I'm late.

Oh, yes?

There's a note for you

in the bedroom.

It's from Madeleine.

-I thought you were just with her?

-I was, why?

So, not only do you see her

every afternoon,

but she also sends you notes?

If you had a telephone...

I wonder what you talk about,

you two.

I bet it's not pretty.

Stories of songs and soldiers.

What are you doing?

Running around Paris

is becoming insufferable.

All the dust...

I am putting my face on.

In five years, the situation

will be unworkable.

Unworkable, I am telling you!

-I don't see why it bothers you.

-Why?

We don't have a car.

I am an archivist,

and we don't have a car. I know.

But we can ponder the issue.

Speaking of issues,

I didn't buy shoes for the children.

You forgot to give me

some money again.

More shoes?

Your children's feet grow every

three months, if you want to know.

A car would be cheaper, after all.

Yes! A car!

Soon, I hope.

I am really counting on my glossary.

Are they going to publish it,

this time?

They're waiting for it.

In two months, we'll be well off.

-What time is it?

-It's 7:
35pm.

I set the table

and I fed the children.

You're late.

Come sit down, I'm hungry.

With a car, we wouldn't have to stay

in hotels when we go on vacation.

We could even consider

buying a small piece of land.

Why small?

A regular piece of land.

With a house on it, even.

I'll take care of the garden.

I can already see the roses.

I'm almost there.

You won't be disappointed.

The curator won't be

disappointed either, for that matter.

Listen to this.

I am listening.

Ambroise Par, whom everyone

talks about since 1405,

discovers, they say,

the seal in the 1 5th century,

which was to become a key element

of all waterworks

in the 1 6th, 1 7th and 1 8th centuries.

I am not surprised.

I have proved the opposite.

I have tirelessly tried

to build a case

against Ambroise Par, this phony.

I prove that he never existed,

the bastard,

which is an admirable discovery,

and you're not surprised.

I am.

What were you saying?

-Ambroise Par has never...

-Oh, yes!

No, a nice little house in the middle

of the forest would be nice

where we would go on weekends.

In Sologne, for example.

Speaking of weekends,

I have a surprise for you.

-We're going to Chantilly.

-Again?

What, again?

Can you please explain to me

why you hate Chantilly this much?

I love Chantilly,
