It's bought.

- Going?

- Wait. I may be back.

Thank you.

Still 4ooo in the bank.

Well, you're looking magnificent tonight,

my dear.

Last time I seemed only beautiful to you.

You must have something very difficult

for me tonight.

No, it shouldn't be for you. Important

dispatches have arrived from Russia.

All right. I'm having supper

with Shubin tomorrow night.

Splendid. Splendid. Why not tonight?

He's at the embassy.

- A conference.

- Probably concerns these dispatches.

- Probably.

- Then tomorrow night won't do.

You must see Shubin

the minute he returns.

- I have arranged differently.

- Then change your arrangements.

I think you should handle Shubin yourself.

You get along beautifully.

- You're so alike.

- This is no time for any of your moods.

Something vital may be involved in this.

Something vital is involved in it.

- Good night, Andriani.

- Then I insist you see Shubin tonight.

A car will be waiting for you

when you leave here.

You also insisted on that submarine job.

You finally had to do it yourself,

as far as I remember.

How well you did it.

I intend to do a better job in finding out who

informed the French authorities about it.

Of course, there's carlotta, she knew.

- And you knew.

- And so did you.

You don't trust me, do you?

Yes. Yes.

But you're capricious.

You're a little bit mad.

You might give me away just

for the excitement of the thing.

You might get me killed.

Unless I kill you first.

Hadn't you better wait

until after tomorrow night?

A car will be waiting for you tonight.

Madame.

I beg your pardon.

I saw you admire this ring...

...and I thought perhaps

you would like to have it.

Why?

Well, as a token

of my admiration for you.

How charming.

Beautiful.

Madame, the car you ordered is waiting.

I won't need it. This young man

has offered to take me home.

Good night, Andriani.

- No, no, no.

- Just for a little while.

- No, no further.

- Please, don't say that.

I think you're very absurd,

very persistent and...

- Very nice? Thank you.

- And very Russian.

Now, go home.

I'm afraid of losing what I've found.

Meaning?

You.

Hadn't you better take that off?

As long as you insist upon staying.

For a little while.

How long have you been in Paris?

I flew from London this morning.

I saw you once in the Bois.

You were so lovely.

I watched you till you drove out

of sight among the chestnut blossoms.

Oh, Paris in the spring.

Spring.

And now I'm here.

- With you.

- But it's autumn.

But perhaps next spring,

the war will be over...

...you and l...

- I never look ahead.

By next spring,

I shall probably be quite alone.

Never alone again.

I mean, at least my thoughts
