Les parapluies de Cherbourg Page #7

---

You're like me:

I was delighted, never sick...

the day before your birth,

I was up on a ladder,

changing the wallpaper

in the shop:

Has the postman come?

There were only bills

and some advertising:

Why? Are you still waiting?

In his last letter, he wrote

that he was sad because

he wouldn't see me pregnant:

And perhaps it's just as well:

I look awful:

A pregnant woman

is always beautiful,

my darling:

That's true:

Look at that:

A vest:
And I saw pretty rompers

at the department store:

Admit that you are pleased:

I'd be more pleased

if that child had a father,

and if you had a husband:

Guy will return:

Guy or someone else

Absence is a funny thing...

I feel that Guy left

years ago...

I look at this photograph,

and I forget

what he really looks like...

And when I think of him,

it's this photo that I see:

It's all that I've got left of him:

Do not smoke:

Be reasonable:

What's that?

A postcard from Hamburg:

It's from Roland Cassard:

For me?

For us:
You can read it:

He says he'll be back soon:

He asks

if you have thought it over:

I feel that there's no hurry:

No, but you must think it over:

I am thinking it over,

Mother, I am...

Here's a man,

rich, refined,

and enamored of you,

and I think...

What are you doing?

You're not feeling well?

I'm all right, Mother:

You are eating:

I can't help it,

I'm always hungry:

He's not a womanizer,

a smooth talker on the prowl,

but a man who has lived

and suffered:

I know, Mother,

but don't give me a sales talk:

You praise him

as you praise your umbrellas:

He'll protect you, Genevive:

Very funny!

If you can't stand humor,

you are lost!

Guy might have been

your ideal...

but what future

did he offer you?

You know, me too,

I was once wooed

by a young man

who was not your father:

You'd have done better

to marry him:

You are right:

But understand

that I want you to be happy,

and not to ruin your life

as I ruined mine:

Don't worry about my life, Mother:

I have no intention

whatsoever

to waste my life:

Do you think Cassard

will want to marry me

when he sees that I have been

knocked up?

Watch your language!

Deformed! Bloated!

Since neither you nor me

had the courage

to confess the truth to him...

Now, at least, it will show!

Do you believe

he'll take me like this?

If he refuses me as I am,

it means that he doesn't have

deep feelings for me:

If, by some unlikely chance,

he accepts me,

I will have no reason

to doubt him,

and I would be a fool

to reject him:

So, you see,

I'm thinking it over:

But all this is so difficult...

Why is absence

so heavy to bear?

Why is Guy

fading away from me?

I would have died
