Le grand Meaulnes Page #2

---

that adventurer has to go.

- Let him explain first.

- No explanations.

We knew he was a wanderer.

Here he comes!

It's Meaulnes!

So he's back?

Well?

It's empty.

Wild rumours circulated

about the Great Meaulnes's flight.

What will you do?

I'll contact the police

so they can start looking.

As for the rest...

Isn't it time for class?

Inside, children.

Anxiety and silence

quickly infected us all.

The next night seemed even longer.

Augustin's absence

brought him closer to me.

This road will take you to St. Agathe

in two hours.

Have a nice hike.

There were too many misused commas.

Please be careful.

No books allowed for this exercise.

Middle Class:
do the first problem.

Senior Class:
both problems.

Quiet!

I'm back, sir.

So I see.

Sit down and take out your notebook.

I got lost.

Careful with the units.

Don't get your conversions wrong.

Well?

Where were you?

I really got lost, sir.

I'm tired.

That's not what I asked.

Where did you go?

If I only knew.

I haven't slept for two nights.

Go on.

What time is it?

And it's still light outside?

Already light. You slept nearly

a day and a night. It's Sunday.

Tell me about it.

You're making it all up.

You don't get that lost.

You went to someone's house. Who?

No one. No one's house.

Think what you want.

You found this in the woods?

Don't you dare touch that!

It's hard to explain.

And it's a long story.

- I can't see with this helmet!

- But you're protected.

Come choose an outfit!

It's magnificent.

You're ridiculous.

We were handsome once.

HONOUR TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM

- Evening, doctor.

- Mr. De Galais.

My dear Florentin,

welcome to Quarry House.

I expected you earlier.

A businessman can't always

do what he wants.

And there was all that fog.

I lost my way.

I understand. Of course.

Simonet!

Come on, Simonet.

Not helping these girls...

Excuse me.

You're not Simonet.

But that's all right.

Give them a hand. It looks heavy.

Our gift is a surprise.

Be careful.

It's not a surprise anymore,

but it's still a gift.

Where were you? Help them.

Take this with the gifts.

- I'll do it.

- This way!

You have a partner?

For the wedding,

for the dance?

If we wait for Frantz to rehearse,

we can't honour him

when he arrives.

The other way now!

Remember?

Shake one finger,

shake the other one.

Well?

Sorry, I'm taken.

Fine.

You're not Simonet,

but a friend of my grandson's?

Augustin Meaulnes, sir.

I think he mentioned a name like that.

Frantz is ruining us, you know.

But you know him.

He loves a party.

What better occasion than this?

And more gifts!

This marriage is a real surprise.

I never even met the fiance.

Her father's some big- time weaver.
