Today I'm coming home
earlier than usual.
I worked hard.
l won't go by the Club.
I have the ease of contentment,
not disdainful, but confident.
A man with money and friends.
I'm taIl and heaIthy.
Friends say I have the cold stare
of achievement,
like excelling in sports
or making money.
I'm not a sportsman,
Ive been married for ten years.
My wife is well bred and intelligent.
She was bored at home.
Her individuality had no play.
She seemed so much the right sort
that I succumbed to her charms.
Friends said I was very much in love
and I said so myself.
Every man fa is in love
once in his life,
and that was the real first time.
Before, Ive had seemed
an unnecessary bother.
After we were married,
of our existence.
and we invite them.
Our dinners may be less famous
than others,
but many value ours more.
We're not being frivolous.
Those at our table are part of our set.
Men and women who fear
emotion and failure
more than fire, war, or fatal disease.
Let me give you the complete list:
A cuckold husband kills his wife.
Infanticide. Patricide.
Virgins raped. Blood. Tears.
Death everywhere.
Thats theater today!
Revoltind stories that are all alike.
For there is my real misfortune
that looms up in life like a wall...
I look at my wife.
That placid face.
Gabrielle is perhaps paler today,
But that palor is part of her appeal.
Im proud of what she is: impassive.
She was like that ten years ago.
The same stol dity, the same smile.
You ove that.
t's monstrous! Like two hours
in your worst nightmares!
I aIways dream of very safe things,
with loving strangers.
She is candid and faithful.
I know her thoughts,
even her most secret ones,
and her dreams.
I never repeat what a stranger tells me.
I keep it to my self.
Not knowing me,
he didn't mean for me to repeat it.
Theres someone you still dont know?
What does it mean to know someone?
Who knows whom, in fact?
Well, I know Made eine,
and you, of course.
The others are enigmas.
Gnawing doubts are tiresome.
Take Jean, hes an absolute fortress.
But not GabrieIIe.
No, not GabrieIIe.
Not Gabrielle, what?
I dont see the need to know people
I have no taste for the secrets
Madeleine loves.
Jean's acquantance a one is enough.
I enjoy your company.
As you should ours.
Idealist, sentimental,
and incensed.
not too much for one person?
One day,
to give her individuality fair play,
Gabrielle took up philanthropic work.
I took an active interest in politics.
Having met a literary man
related to an early.
I was induced to finance
a moribund newspaper.
It was utterly devoid of convictions.
And then it started to pay.
I'd made a good investment.
He said something...
Who, Francis?
He said he was tired of playing.
No one is obliged to play.
They can just watch.
Playing cards is normaI.
Did he tell you?
He never speaks to me directly.
Hes afraid he might let himself go.
I think once let something slip
that he regrets...
to our house.
People from the paper joined us.
Why shouId Francis' attitude
affect your circle,
your home?
The editor, for one.
I must tell you about this editor.
Is it so important?
I don't like him.
He sits in the drawing room,
and taks for hours with a smile
on his thick lips.
He writes poetry.
