251
Look at du Barry.
What is she wearing now?

252
Another one of her exotic fantasies?

253
She can't pass a mirror
without seducing it.

254
Do you think she's wearing
enough jewelry?

255
Never enough for du Barry.

256
She's coming.

257
Oh, I love your shoes, Victoire.

258
Oh, why, thank you.
I got them from Christian in Paris.

259
- Oh, I must call on him.
- Yes, you must. He's wonderful.

260
Madame du Barry would like
to offer you some diamonds.

261
I have enough diamonds.

262
Snubbing the king's favorite is publicly
criticizing the king's behavior.

263
All you need do is say
a few words to her.

264
Because of rank she is not
allowed to speak first.

265
I certainly have nothing
to say to her.

266
Why should I approve of his
cavorting with a harlot?

267
- Your Royal Highness.
- Well, that's what she is.

268
Everyone knows she's from a brothel
and that title was bought for her.

269
Your mother and I
are very concerned.

270
Du Barry has been complaining to
the king that you will not address her.

271
And you cannot afford
to fall out of favor with the king.

272
Especially as your marriage...

273
...not exactly on solid ground.

274
Fine. I'll talk to her.

275
There are a lot of people
at Versailles today.

276
Yes, there are.

277
Those are my last words
to that woman.

278
The first mechanical locks
were made of wood.

279
Records show them in use
some 4000 years ago in Egypt.

280
Any good fans? That one's pretty.

281
- Evening or daytime?
- I like lace.

282
These are so du Barry.

283
- Do you like these for hair?
- It's beautiful.

284
- You don't think it's too much?
- Maybe one.

285
- One feather?
- Yeah.

286
Or in white?

287
Can we get these in white, maybe?

288
I don't know if I like that one.

289
I love these.

290
Do you want these too?

291
Yeah, but in pink.

292
Oh, okay. Two in pink.

293
Has madame read the brief
on our current situation?

294
No, I haven't read it yet.

295
Can you just tell me about it?

296
Well, the reforms in Poland by King
Poniatowski have led to civil war.

297
The Russians and the Austrians
have taken over a third of Poland...

298
...which is, of course, distressing...

299
...as Poland is a friend and ally
of France.

Which sleeve do you like?
With ruffles or without?
