Gallant Ladies Page #4

Is it quite correct?

Tomorrow, in my rooms?

I'm not like modern women...

who want freedom and independence.

No, sir...

were I expecting, I'd be

tempted to accept.

But such is not the case now.

I only allow passengers

on board my ship...

when it is loaded and full.

Fair Calipante, I've written...

Later.

Good evening, sir.

I hear you dance wonderfully.

It depends on the partner.

You won't be disappointed.

Tomorrow, at seven, in my chambers.

If you know the volta, we'll try that.

Daughter, sister and wife of a king.

She looked at me at last.

What a conquest! The summit! The zenith!

The queen invited me to dance!

Let him in.

Someone tried to poison Mlle.

de Thorigny...

the queen's friend.

But she'll live.

My worst enemy did it.

Don't hesitate in taking revenge.

Good evening, M. de Brantme.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Someone is trying to hurt me, destroy me.

Gillonne de Thorigny, my only friend!

We had agreed to dance tonight.

Let's not change that.

Call my musicians.

Come, come, ladies!

Even though death is among us,

we should make merry.

A volta! For M. de Brantme and me!

When the volta was banned,

I had it imposed.

Another indecency.

What do you think of the Salic Law?

Are we right to stop women ruling?

The law dismays me, ma'am.

Elizabeth is England's greatest ruler.

In France, we're here to make children.

When we can't have any, we're rejected.

You must dance with someone to know him.

It's important to sound him.

To tell if he's healthy and odorous.

If his limbs are supple...

And if she talks worthily.

My mother has a new task for you.

You have to fetch my brother.

He left Paris.

Precisely.

She wants you to fetch him.

I wish to ask you a favour.

Take a message to my brother.

He must impose conditions on his return.

But above all...

my mother mustn't find out.

You can count on me.

Thank you, M. de Brantme.

Come to us when you return.

Let's go to bed.

I'll join you, ma'am.

My dear cousin...

she and I have travelled

some way on love's path...

but there's no reason why you

shouldn't skirmish with her.

Why do you say that, cousin?

Her boiling point is high.

One feels like unpeeling her.

If I were you...

You wouldn't say that.

That's the difference.

You keep your women. I pass through mine.

The next morning...

the Queen Mother officially

asked me to find Monsieur...

the king's brother,

who was in talks with the rebels.

The Virgin Mary sent me!

Holy images, crosses of Lorraine...

rosaries...

Give what you can. I only want charity.

Where are you going?

To carry the word of God...

the Lord Jesus and our beloved Pope...

to those infidels and renegades.
