Marguerite Page #2

---

They told me you were leaving

the Conservatory ...

that you are very worthy.

I work with a group of

young composers ...

We are trying new things.

New music.

Anyway, I'd be happy to invite you,

if one day you ...

I'm sorry ... the guests

are calling for a photo with you, Madame.

Ah ... the photo, yes, yes.

It makes them so pleased.

Your heels!

I need to return your shoes!

Oh no, no no no, keep them.

Like Cinderella.

A thousand thanks.

Where is Franoise?

Franoise, it is also a small

thanks to you for all that. Come.

This is not an article to be written,

it is a poem.

Hazel, come near me.

And live the music!

Hold still ...

One

Two...

Really good.

Really.

Look what I stole.

Wasn't everything like the Rockefellers,

in the living room ...

There is a signature ...

"To the great Marguerite Dumont."

It is her or her husband

who has the loot?

From what I was told, he had

a title of nobility, and she,

she had the money to save the walls

and then ... the appearances.

Madame Butterfly

Samson and Dalilah.

It's splendid.

They are real stage costumes,

it appears.

They come from where, these photos?

Where has she sung?

Who knows...

Do you think she realises

that she sings badly?

She hears her voice?

No. A singer does not hear

her own singing.

So.

- Not really.

A real singer, yes.

When she sings, she feels her voice

is misplaced.

Yes, but she has nothing like her real

singer friends there ...

Oh yes ... the costumes.

Yes...

You think she doesnt knows that

she sings completely wrong?

I dont believe so...

Wrong ... but sublimely wrong.

Divinely wrong.

Wildly wrong!

Yes!

Are you going to work late?

I have to read an important file

for tomorrow ...

... And I have all that ...

What does that mean, important?

It's about the rebuild of half of

Pas-de-Calais, Marguerite.

I have no confidence

in the Americans ...

for them reconstruction,

is firstly a business.

And not for you?

I learned that Franoise Bellaire

opened a decoration store

with a small art gallery, and all.

It would work for a review also.

One wonders what it costs her,

she doesn't need to work.

Starting a business like that,

for a woman alone is ...

... I admire her, she is courageous.

I especially believe that you

are very tired, Marguerite

You should get some sleep.

tomorrow you should get up late ...

Drag yourself to bed

Why don't you go do

a little shopping? Huh?

Chapter 2

A NEW WORLD:

Georges!

Georges ...

Come see !

My husband is there?

He was in a meeting, Madame.

On the terrace.

- Ah ...

You read the newspaper, right?

What is that all about?

They all arrived this morning,

Madame
