Why, so there are!

- Do you think they sing?|- I'm sure they do.

Yes, you, too. Come and look.

- That's right, Giovanni, wind it up.|- Listen!

What a voice!

That is a gift worthy of a King!

- Are you in here?|- Don't open the curtains.

- Are you angry with me?|- No.

But stay where you are, please.

You are angry with me.

Just now you were honest with me,|now I must be honest with you.

I've already loved someone.

Yes, it was him, King Charles.

We all love him. I imagine when|you were in school, all you girls...

No, no, it was after that. No, close them!

That was nothing else but young love,|it was normal. Then it was different.

Charles and I were lovers,|we were lovers for a whole year.

Everyone knew about it.

That's the only reason|my family accepted you.

Now you can open the curtains.

Yes.

Go.

Go!

Sergio!

My son...

If you weren't a woman!

We're leaving.

We're leaving.

You've forgotten your coat, sir.

Forgive me. I'm sorry.

Come on.

You're not to be trusted either!

Sergio!

Grandfather's been waiting to eat|for nearly an hour.

Sergio's not here,|he went down to the river.

Down to the river!

Sergio likes our young peasant girls.

Tonight I'll make him tell me everything.

None of you have any respect.

Mother, aren't you going|to come and eat either?

You go on without me.

I'm not hungry.

You have no respect, I say.

You don't let me eat on time,|you don't let me sleep at night.

Last night I didn't close my eyes|for a second.

Who is it who's sleeping|in the room next to mine?

Someone seems to have|brought a baby there.

And it cried all night long.

Of course no one took the trouble|to try to make it stop.

Just eat your lunch, don't get confused.

There haven't been any babies|in this house for a long time.

You should know that.

Sergio sleeps in the room next to yours.

I'm going out onto the terrace.

Here, come on, eat this.

You realize who was crying last night?

Oh, Grandfather probably imagined it.

No, it was Sergio.

Of course it was.

It was Sergio.

Why did he go down to the river?

You see? He came down for a swim.

Then he should be here. He must be here.

It's the only part where|it's deep enough to swim.

He's not down there.

- Nor there.|- Help me to climb down.

- But, Mother, you don't think...|- I said help me.

Mother, you mustn't think that.

We mustn't let ourselves think that!

Baron Sergio's with us.

He's at the dovecot.

You go and fetch Sergio.

I'll wait for you on the road.

You're being too delicate, Sergio.

Those clods have to become like sand.

Sergio!

I won't be long.

I'm sorry.

Don't ever leave this|on the riverbank again.

You know, Mother was convinced|that you'd drowned.
