The Childhood of a Leader Page #2

You were going to leave

without saying goodbye?

No, of course not.

I just didn't want

to disturb you, my dear.

You've come to join

the expatriate?

For a time being, yes.

I thought you were in Germany.

Well, initially it seemed

like it was safer

to be in the eye of the storm

over there.

But perhaps not the best place

for me to be anymore.

I don't work for

that publication anymore

but I keep myself busy

with several others

and even doing a bit

of writing for myself

every once in a while.

Pleased to hear it.

I recently got

called out of hiding

to cover the negotiations

in Paris

and voila, who do I find

walking down the boulevard?

Providing there is something

to eventually celebrate

at the end of all this,

I suggest that we might throw

a party here at the house.

I know a number

of very fine people

who'd take any excuse

to come out to the countryside.

Always been a big support

of your husband

and he knows how I feel

generally about statesmen

and their politics.

I do.

Do you both some good

to make some friends

while you're out here.

Well, sure,

as soon as we are settled.

Do you have plans for Christmas?

He's already asked me

and I said I'll think about it

but I generally want

to avoid the holidays

and stay out of the way.

Is everything alright upstairs?

He's tired.

What happened?

He threw rocks at someone

after the rehearsal.

What? Why?

I don't know.

I was still inside

waiting for him

and a man from town

ran after him

and he ran straight into a tree.

Is he alright?

He's fine.

I'm sure it's alright,

he's only a little boy.

He didn't actually

hurt anyone, did he?

-No, I don't think so.

-Then it's alright.

I'll talk to him tomorrow.

I'd like to see him next time

if he's having a better night.

Of course.

Well, I'm so... happy to

to see a familiar face.

Me too, me too.

Well, I'll leave

you both for bed.

Goodbye.

Be safe getting

home at this hour.

Such a vile language.

Stop it.

Hey, not too corked

to make it back

in one piece, are you?

No, I'll be perfectly safe.

Goodnight to you both.

I'II, be in touch.

You know his wife

was killed traveling with him.

That's why

I didn't ask about her.

I had a bad dream

and I wet the bed.

Look at your face.

You wet your bed?

I had a dream

you weren't there.

I wasn't where?

Wherever I was.

It's alright.

I'm right here.

Go change your clothes

and I'll come up

and change your bedding.

He's really hurt.

When did I give Mona

tonight off?

Yesterday afternoon.

All the same. He'll want me

to tuck him in.

Hello!

Get off the bed, darling.

Come to see the snow

before it melts.

There we go.

Did you miss me?
