The Visitors: Bastille Day Page #7

---

Come along.

Damn! All there is left is this

moldy cheese full of maggots.

That's not good to eat.

Wait! Perhaps I have some apples.

Oh no! Ignace, don't eat it!

- This is delicious, this cheese!

- You must be hungry, to eat something so terrible.

They are meaty, these maggots!

- How did you get to me?

- When I went to the Montmirails.

- To Malfete?

- We'll take it all, they will anger them!

Don't take revenge personally, the republic

will take care of it. It's been done.

- Your nephew confiscated their castle.

- Confiscated the castle? - Yes.

Today it belongs to the people. It is your home, mine,

and ours.

- Long live republic!

- Long live republic!

Let's get you changed and I'll

introduce you to Marat.

You will make the Convention proud

before you can say ouch.

No! I don't want to say ouch!

It hurts too much.

- What hurts? Why not say ouch?

- I don't want to die.

You are not going to die. You don't have

to say ouch, if you don't want to.

- Not to say ouch!

- Okay, let's go.

Here you are. Here is some water.

You can use it.

And a comb for your hair.

It was a birthday gift from my brother, so don't damage it.

I'll give you Jacquouillet's best suit.

No, this is for your face!

- If you are thirsty, I have some almond juice.

- Good juice.

- Hosanna, Sweet Charlotte! Hosanna!

- The world has changed during your captivity.

- Not Hosana but yay! It is not a church's.

- Hooray not church's!

- See, you got it. Hooray, it's not church's!

- Hooray no church!

- Mrs. Charlotte?

- Yes?

- Is there no water that goes in the tub?

- Running water?

Cold water. Warm water. Faucets.

And there is a radiator for towels.

There's ball into the shower.

There are no lightbulbs.

Dark. Light.

Hell, there is not nothing!

This bathroom is not modern,

it's rotten.

Rotten? There is nothing more modern than this,

this one is a copy of the bathroom of the king of England.

You are quite a snob, for someone

who got out of hard labour. Don't push it.

If needed, the point of relief is here.

It's the most modern.

A toilet bowl.

- Look, this've never seen.

- I know that well.

- We washed in it.

- In a toilet?

Hands and face.

And then we drank water

that was too cold.

What a horror! They were forced to drink

water from the toilet! They're horrible!

- I thought in my sleep. You do not have balls!

- Compliment is always enjoyable.

When I am by myself, the conquest of the prison

of heir to the throne is doubtful.

I'm going back to my castle

to take care of people.

- When are you going?

- When I meet with the wizard.

You're not a wizard?

Why not with a card reader?

The revolutionaries cannot stand superstitions.

- They will execute you.

- Find the wizard! Otherwise I'll stay.

It is going to be a lively debate today,

I have to be in a good shape.

Now I have to work.

Ignace, give me that prison garb, I'll clean it.

Here.

Hooray not church!

There is no need to yell it,

I know you understand.

I didn't know such a stench can exist.

It is a shame to put people through this.

I'll put shoes out there to air them.

They can only poison your lungs here.

- Will you watch me while I sleep?

- Yes.

Good. Much is said about some crazy old woman,

who is called God's mother.

- God's mother?

- Yes. - Does she have great power?

She is enlightened, has a vision of the future.

Robespierre visits her, so they say.

Take me to her immediately!

- I do not know her address, we can not find her.

- Where is the villain Jacquouille?

Citizen!

- Take the dog in.

- I don't have any dog.

He probably pooped on the landing.

There is an awful smell on the stairs.

- And who will clean it up?

- Who is yelling? - The Malfetes.

- Their dog pissed everywhere!

- It stinks here like a dead donkey.

Maybe shoes of your lackey?

Is is downstairs. Come.

What did you put on your hair? They are white.

You used up all of the vials of talc. Why?

- It eases the itching.

- Do you have lice?

The prisoners.. Let's get them out.

The Incorruptible's Sister is clever,

but I'll take care of her.

She likes me a little bit.

I will be back soon.

- Welfare and brotherhood!

- What do you want, citizen deputy?

I know you! You're Ignace's prison mate!

- How come?

- Don't pretend you don't know Ignace Jacquoillet.

- He dispute with father, it's not my fault.

- You are liable for the consequences.

- It is arguable, citizen.

- Why was forced to sleep in a draft

- On the stairs like a dog?

- He wanted to kill my stepmother.

- Do you support murder, citizen?

- No. But I support a just revenge!

He was looking for a remedy for his misfortune!

Are you going to sue?

- No.

- Hooray not-to-church!

- How proud you look, Ignace. Look!

- So do I look good, citizen Houb?

You are ridiculous, you heap of garbage! You will be

a laughing stock in your village, when we get back!

I do not want to go back, it's rotten there!

There is no need to argue.

Nobody is going back to prison.

- You can be proud, they are traumatized.

- Hooray not-to-church!

All right, Uncle, you are getting ridicilous with that.

Can you leave us?

- Why?

- Don't need you anymore. - Whee!

They got us alright.

The Austrian cousin is not a cousin.

- It is a prisoner!

- Maria Joseph! Prisoners?

- How naive I was.

- The children traveled with them. They could kill us!

- I totally forgot about them.

- I could feel it, when we went.

- They looked like gypsies.

- Now you're stuck here!

Stop arguing!

Perhaps there is some solution.

Elise, please this paper to the Embassy of the Netherlands

and the United Provinces

and get it into the hands of Duke MacManus.

- In case of danger, swallow it.

- Swallow? That's the safest way.

- Even with the wax seal?

- Even with the wax seal.

- Isn't it my suit?

- So it is.

- There was no time to ask.

What a pity.

- I'm not going to be in one shirt for 14 days.

- Glutton! You have plenty of suits!

- You have my silk suit from Florence.

- Yes, but I shortened it with the sword.

Sword. He destroyed the suit

that cost a fortune.

I did not know that I was destroying something.

I'll take my pants again.

So those two unfortunate souls hid with me.

- This is a good material for an article.

- Sure. I'll publish it in the morning.

Thank you for the notice about those poor people.

The republic must wake up,

and give a proper ...

honour

to those poor souls.

- What do you think, citizens?

- We will strip them of everything! That will anger them.

Wonderful. I will add it to the.

article, it will be good.

Hooray not-to-church!

- Pardon?

- Hooray not-to-church!

- They're traumatized by the hard labour.

- I see.

They express themselves like fanatics,

like lost children.

And you, citizen, you look weird.

I don't dare speak.

Speak, your opinion is important.

I'm listening.

You smell of death. You are not going to be here for long.

You have to find a cure, while it is possible.

You have oozing boils, you will croak soon.
