Marguerite Page #2

---

Wrong ... but sublimely wrong.

Divinely wrong.

Wildly wrong!

Yes!

Are you going to work late?

I have to read an important file

for tomorrow ...

... And I have all that ...

What does that mean, important?

It's about the rebuild of half of

Pas-de-Calais, Marguerite.

I have no confidence

in the Americans ...

for them reconstruction,

is firstly a business.

And not for you?

I learned that Franoise Bellaire

opened a decoration store

with a small art gallery, and all.

It would work for a review also.

One wonders what it costs her,

she doesn't need to work.

Starting a business like that,

for a woman alone is ...

... I admire her, she is courageous.

I especially believe that you

are very tired, Marguerite

You should get some sleep.

tomorrow you should get up late ...

Drag yourself to bed

Why don't you go do

a little shopping? Huh?

Chapter 2

A NEW WORLD:

Georges!

Georges ...

Come see !

My husband is there?

He was in a meeting, Madame.

On the terrace.

- Ah ...

You read the newspaper, right?

What is that all about?

They all arrived this morning,

Madame

Gifts from admirers.

You see...

... Madame was a real success yesterday.

It's way too much.

It's been known that for a long time,

about the secret of her shows.

Amadeus Circle supports lyrical opera

but what our surprise was in discovering

a personal interpretation

of the Queen of the Night,

by the mysterious Baroness Dumont.

Since Lina Cavalieri,

or the great Marthe Chenal,

we had not heard anything so new

so intense, incarnate, exhausting ...

There is in this voice,

human truth

who tears the heart.

And now notice

the most beautiful...

Crowned with a majestic peacock feather,

we had the feeling that this

singular artist

was trying to exorcise a demon inside.

And that continues.

Thank you...

This is your success, all of you,

your children, thank you.

So what do you think ?

He has a style this boy, right?

I love the idea of an inner demon.

You don't understand any

of all that my darling.

Marie-Jeanne!

Where are the chocolates?

Madelbos, here we go?

... Human truth ...

I know you ...

And this journalist?

What does he want ?

What is he looking for ?

And we said to stop

with the flowers ...

Madame has many admirers, Sir.

He still has reservations about ...

about my highs.

I told you so...

This proves that you are skilful, Madame

That is true.

Ah ... I have the jitters about

meeting him.

Hello.

You're Lucien Beaumont?

Yes...

Well ... I have read your article, and

... it moved me deeply.

Certainly...

We have the right to thank

a journalist ?

Ah, but it is I

who thanks you.

You know how many original scores

I have at home?

I do not know...

A lot.

And I even have a score of Tosca

with notes by the hand of Puccini.

Ah, you're a real collector, in fact.

I also have sets, costumes,

accessories...

Oh ... last week I bought

two magnificent pieces...

a giant eye and a fat bird suit

with colorful feathers

created for La Flte Enchante

in Garnier.

And did you try them on at home?

These costumes? Oh yes, yes...

yes as it happens.

For fun yes.

Marguerite.

It did not say you were there!

How goes the Queen of the Night?

Oh...

I present Kyrill, who put

your picture in the newspaper.

Ah ... it said a lot about me from

this picture, you know.

I will offer you the original.

Oh no ! No. I will buy it from you.

It's very expensive.

Ah ... You buy art ...

That interests you?

I don't know much, but ... it happens.

My heart swells.

If you want one day

we will take time to talk.

But I do not understand,...

you... you also work here, Kyrill?

This brave Lucien orders my poems

or a drawing from time to time.

He understood that one day,

it has to be worth millions.

My God...

The money does not matter,

you know ?

The important thing is

just to have them.

And have you already sung in front of

a real audience, dear Madame?

No, it was in question for a while

and then the life, the people ...

And frankly I was never encouraged

eh, I will not lie to you.

Yet you work to

further improve...

with a teacher I imagine ...

No ... I have never found

someone who...

who understands...

who ultimately feels that ...

At the same time, there are

so many charlatans.

So ... I work alone.

you know, with opera.

I'm listening to the music

I ... I sing at least 4 or 5 hours

per day you know.

At the same time it is a minimum,

if one has a bit of demand, right?

Can I tell you a secret?

To me ?

It took me time to find my voice.

And where can we buy these works?

Where is this gallery?

In the past, it was at my home.

One can very easily organize

something at one's chateau with friends.

It is a gift and I insist ...

You can keep the frame.

We pinched it from your home last night.

Oh yeah, I recognise it.

That touches me deeply.

She seems completely mad, which I love.

Hey well where is she?

There it is...

It's brilliant!

This woman kills me ...

Look.

We will be able to sell her

anything my dear.

She is going to save us, our Marguerite.

And if we left for a few days

to the interior?

I can not leave Paris

at the moment, Franoise.

Business,... my wife,...

I feel that everybody wants me.

If my associates overtake me,

it is my ruin.

I have no money...

I do not have it.

But she, she has money.

She has always been there.

I've had enough of all that.

She bought my title.

Not me.

You read the article?

It's interesting what this

journalist wrote in it.

But what does he want?

What is he looking for ?

Something has touched,

that man...

and he may be heartless.

Why does she need to

bellow like that?

It makes me feel uncomfortable.

It makes me feel uncomfortable,

so much.

But why does she need to do that?

She came past

my shop this morning.

I saw her in her car.

You tell me that, like that?

Yes, I did not think you sing.

Do not worry...

Since that time,

if she had wanted to know ...

For me it's not even a woman.

It has become...

a kind of monster.

Christian is going to put you in place.

Raise your sword my little Christian.

Higher.

In this scene, you want to kill me.

Eh? You hate me.

I want to see it in your eyes.

Here, it will be very beautiful.

Here. Higher.

Ah! Shout, shout, shout!

Is there a fire, or what?

Marguerite !

I waited for the sun all day my darling.

This is for a photo.

Ah, I must tell you something.

Something very important,

see you shortly.

And look in your office,

there is a gift!

We will do that with the horse

and shields.

I am ready.

Am I bothering you ?

- Thank you.

Look what they make me support.

It is an invitation to sing

in a small recital,

in public, in Paris.

What kind of recital?

It is this young journalist and

his friends, artists who thought of me.

Listen Marguerite ...

I understand that this article,

you were really touched, but ...

So I know there will also

painters, poets, musicians, ...

I will not be all alone, evidently.
