near saratoga.
It's what they call a trunk
line, only about 100 miles long.
Years ago, his mama gave
it to him to play with-
his first
little railroad.
Now it's turned up
worth millions.
Why millions?
Angelique, stop rattling that paper!
Why is this saratoga
trunk worth millions?
How can i sleep when there are
things like this i must know?
Tell me-why millions?
Well, it seems
it's the link
between the new pennsylvania
hard coal lands and new england.
Sure thing,
it's worth millions.
Does he know this?
Van steed?
Listen, he ain't
as loco as he looks.
Don't raise your eyebrows
when i say "ain't."
Raymond soule's crowd
have been going at it
there is in the book.
Graft. Politics. Force.
For what they're doing,
they'd be strung up for outlaws
out west. You wouldn't believe it.
They hire gangs to go out and tear
up tracks and chop down trestles.
Folks won't ride the railroad
anymore. It ain't safe.
That's just what this
soule's figuring on-
running it right down
to nothing.
Buy it up cheap
- hair, hide, horns, and tallow.
Who is he?
He's boss of the upstate railroad crowd.
Likely, you were too busy making goo-goo
eyes when you come in to notice him.
Always sitting
there on the piazza
hiding behind
a couple of bodyguards.
Don't let his size fool you.
He's big poison.
Is he rich?
Rub my foot,
cheri.
Huh.
Couple of hundred million.
Maybe more.
Is he married?
No, honey. No.
I mean, no for you.
Well, one never knows.
Now, go on, cheri.
I'm fascinated.
Mmm, that feels good.
There's more to
this soule bunch.
They're hooked up with those
skunks that came through texas.
Oww!
You're hurting me!
Sorry, honey.
I was thinking.
My fingers just itch
to get ahold of a gun
when i think of that pack of
varmints out there rocking.
I bet i could pick one or two
of them off from your window.
Poor little
bartholomew van steed.
Poor little mama's boy.
No one to help him.
Don't worry about
little bartholomew.
He's got a good team, too-
for one, the richest
banker in new york,
the fellow that's got that
place down on wall street-
the house of
something or other-
and that scotchman who owns all
those steel mills and coal mines,
and plenty of others.
Railroads! Railroads!
Railroads!
What do i care
about railroads?
What am i doing here?
Who are you? How do i know who you are?
Holy cats! Now what's
eating the countess?
There, baby,
angelique is here!
Mr. Clint,
that champagne make her sad.
Why don't you gentle down,
honey, and quit snortin' around?
Go away! Go away!
Everybody, go away!
Stop screeching around here
like a crazy mare.
First thing you're happy,
then you're tired.
Now you're sad
or something.
Try that again, and
you'll be here all alone.
Ooh, what's that?
From the man who brought
us from the station.
Clint... is he the one i shall marry?
I don't give a hoot
who you marry,
but you're not gonna
get me to act as your-
you'll act towards me with
the dignity and respect
of someone who's met mrs. Du
chenfrais for the first time.
A widow
so recently bereft-
of her senses.
But not her
dramatic sense.
They'll be
expecting me.
They'll be
waiting for me.
So for days and days,
i'll stay up here,
and i'll let them
wait and wonder.
I'll stay here
and watch the show.
cold hash out of you in a week.
They'll tear you
to pieces,
and i'll stand by
and laugh.
Hey, look,
she's clean beat out.
And no wonder
drinking champagne in
the middle of the day.
What are we gonna do
with her, angelique?
When she's like this, ain't
anybody can do anything.
She like this in paris
before she come.
She like this in new
orleans before she met you.
perhaps two or three.
But when she wake up,
zumba! Look out!
Look out? What can she do
she hasn't done already?
Crazy stuff!
Where boss man
go now?
To the horses?
All right, we'll go
to the track if you want.
Anyplace we can smell
some fresh air.
Sure! Sure, boss. We go to
the horses. Women is crazy!
N'est-ce pas? You betcha. Son of a gun!
Maybe they dead.
Mama...
clint...
oh, cheri.
What time is it?
7:
00. what day is it?Oh...
why, baby, you slept
two days, last i know.
Oh, i feel wonderful!
Quick, angelique,
my gabrielle!
Look out, that's
what i told him.
My mind is
clear and bright,
just as
i knew it would be.
And i have a plan,
as i knew i would have.
What now?
More mess?
You'll see.
Roll up the shades!
Tell me,
where is mr. Maroon?
Ain't seen
nor heard of him.
Good. Where's cupidon? In here?
Poor little man.
Howdy, ma'am.
Good morning, cupidon.
Why didn't you sleep downstairs
in the room provided for you?
He said stay near you and the old crow.
Ah, to watch me,
no doubt.
Tell me,
what have you found out?
Who are
the important people?
Well, there's
that fat woman.
Ha ha ha!
Who is the fat woman?
Bellop.
Don't make
ugly noises.
That's her name-
bellop.
They say everybody in
saratoga's afraid of her.
Yes?
She tried to
question me about you.
I pretended to
speak only french.
And what
do you think?
She speaks french
like anything!
So...
well, out of here,
both of you.
Make yourself
neat and smart.
You, cupidon, look to
your shoes and buttons.
Be polite to the hotel
servants. No tricks!
And you, angelique,
no voodoo, no witchwork.
Your best black silk!
We're going to the springs.
About time.
Two days lost.
Red heels
ain't for widows.
It's the way
i feel today.
My husband has been dead as a
herring for at least two years.
You full of
the devil.
Your ladyship,
mrs. Du chenfrais.
How have you been,
mr. Bean?
Frantic.
Simply frantic.
Two days! There have
been dozens of inquiries.
How kind of people
to take such interest.
We pictured you
desolated with your grief.
I think i'll take
the waters this morning.
I hear your famous springs
are most healthful.
Perhaps you could
recommend one.
Of course. We have a
specially prepared booklet.
I told you these two days
haven't been wasted.
Regardez.
By the front door.
That's the one been asking
questions about you.
For example, there's
the triton water-
gout, irritated stomachs,
pimples blotches, ulcers.
Please, mr. Bean!
very gay. The band plays-
good morning.
Mrs. Du chenfrais,
i'm mrs. Coventry bellop.
I want to welcome you
to saratoga...
and to tell you
that i had the great
pleasure of knowing
your late lamented husband-
dear, dear bimby.
Is it possible?
Well, isn't it?
Hardly. He was
almost a recluse.
Perhaps you're thinking
of his younger brother-
the black sheep,
i'm afraid.
He was known as bimby among his friends.
I shouldn't wonder,
if you say so.
I told you you were wrong to
be suspicious of this lady.
Me? My dear
mrs. Bellop!
Oh, isn't that-
but of course it must be-
mr. Raymond soule,
the railroad man.
Yes, indeed.
