Marie Antoinette Page #4

at Versailles today.

Yes, there are.

Those are my last words

to that woman.

The first mechanical locks

were made of wood.

Records show them in use

some 4000 years ago in Egypt.

Any good fans? That one's pretty.

- Evening or daytime?

- I like lace.

These are so du Barry.

- Do you like these for hair?

- It's beautiful.

- You don't think it's too much?

- Maybe one.

- One feather?

- Yeah.

Or in white?

Can we get these in white, maybe?

I don't know if I like that one.

I love these.

Do you want these too?

Yeah, but in pink.

Oh, okay. Two in pink.

Has madame read the brief

on our current situation?

No, I haven't read it yet.

Can you just tell me about it?

Well, the reforms in Poland by King

Poniatowski have led to civil war.

The Russians and the Austrians

have taken over a third of Poland...

...which is, of course, distressing...

...as Poland is a friend and ally

of France.

Which sleeve do you like?

With ruffles or without?

Have you been paying

any attention?

Your mother is relying on you

to smooth over this crisis.

Where will I be if there's a rupture

between our two families?

Am I to be Austrian

or the dauphine of France?

You must be both.

- Well, I heard that she bought a boy.

- No.

Yes, I heard. She found a peasant

boy by the side of the street...

...and took him in like a stray dog.

Well, it's not as if

she can have one of her own.

Maybe if she spent

less time with Lamballe...

...and more time with her husband...

...there wouldn't be a problem.

Well, let's not forget

she is an Austrian spy.

And I can't imagine

that's very warm in the bedroom.

Come, my little truffle cake.

I'm going to ravage you.

- Will you come back right away?

- Yes, my sweet.

Just a quick hunting excursion,

we'll be back straightaway.

I will be humiliated

before the court and the public...

...if your brother's new wife

becomes pregnant before I do.

When I return from Saint-Cloud,

you can be sure...

...that I will resume my regime.

And hopefully everything

will go swimmingly.

I have absolutely no intention of

breaking the alliance with Austria.

I am very relieved to hear that,

Your Majesty.

But what on earth is going on

with that young couple?

It's a disaster.

Send for Dr. Lassonne to visit them.

Yes, of course.

Do you find your body responsive?

What?

Do you find your body responsive?

What do you eat for breakfast?

Hot chocolate.

Hot chocolate.

Hello?

Hello, Yolande.

How lovely to see you.

Yes. This is

the Duchesse de Polignac.

- Hello.

- Your Majesty.

- We haven't seen you for a while.

- I know.

I've been in St. Petersburg,

where I met Dimitri.

Isn't he divine?
