Someone knocked.

- Mr. Director? - Yes, bring in.

Sir.

- Sit down, Madame ... Borel?

- It's Áa, Mr. Director.

- You live in the department Loiret?

We, we say Sologne.

- Thank you for making the trip. - I did not come express.

I had to see my brother, ‡ Courbevoie.

- I wanted to see you because our orphans are cared for

by the nation, especially war orphans.

But Áa can not last anymore.

We must place them in families.

You understand ?

Yes, Mr. Director.

- And it's better that children have already ‡

a link with their new home.

In the file

of the young Caradec, Paul,

I only found your name.

You knew the father, I believe.

Father, no.

Mother, yes.

- And by what title, if you do not mind my asking ?

Well ... she was from my home.

From my village.

Did you know the child?

No.

I never even saw it.

His poor mother Being dead in layers ...

Ah yes.

Good. I'm not going to beat around the bush.

You would take this boy at home?

Do you mean ... adopt it?

- No precipitation. We should see

if you get along.

- Director, Áa ... "It's not going to be possible.

- Still, you are used to it. - Yes,

but...

This child is not possible. I can not take it.

Good.

I do not insist.

Since you are there, Do you want to see it?

I...

"enough!

Hubbub

Stop!

∞∞∞

We stop!

- Go get Caradec. - Yes sir.

Caradec!

- There is a mother who comes to get you.

Caradec, do not your wet hen.

"enough.

Get in there ‡.

So, Caradec?

Do you want to spend the night in the hole?

Madame wanted to know you.

What is she going to think of you ?

I do not care.

Go back to sleep.

It's not their fault, ‡ these little ones.

By virtue of being behind walls, they also have them in their heads.

It's important for Áa to place them as a family. But OK...

Mother Celestine.

I call nobody "mom".

from my cousin's nephew. - Good. There is work at the manor.

You have to put everything away. - We broke

the lamp of the blue room.

- Do not worry. I'll do it.

Ho! We do not touch. Huh?

I'm going We are waiting for ‡ Paris before tonight.

- He is not the count. It's his son.

His son ÈgoÔste.

- Why did you say that I was the son of ...?

- Because I do not have the right to house anyone at my place.

A lie, what?

- That you will have to repeat, if we ask you questions.

Then stop with your "you". I am not a countess.

Song of the cock and barking

Here we are.

∞∞∞

I'm going to change.

He will not eat you. It would be rather the opposite.

- What is his name ? - Uh ...

His name is Jeannot.

Go!

To laugh

Fox

who was eating our chickens.

- It's good. You ended up having it.

So that's Áa, your darling?

The drunk, his name is Paul.

My husband. Borel.

Ah ...

Borel.

- My word, Is it the prison here or what?

- What's this ? - Rabbit. You do not recognize it?

It's Jeannot.

It's disgusting.

I will explain you.

Paul.

This was the room of all my children.

Your children?

Oh, stop with your "you".

They were not really mine. God did not want me to be a mother,

so I took care children of others.

They called me "Mother Celestine".

- Orphans? - No.

Sometimes families, they can not handle it.

- They had only to glue them ‡ Assistance.

- We put abandoned children there, who have no family.

There is no shame ‡ to be an orphan.

Your dad, he was a little guy Assistance.

You did not know ?

- How do you know ? - Ben ...

We had to tell myself.

Celestine!

- I arrive ! He goes to bed with the chickens.

With chickens?

Come on, feather.

This is to say that he goes to bed early.

Finally, when he does not its round in forest.

The night ?

- You know, it's funny of things in the forest, over here.

Come on, sleep well.

She sighs. Well then...

You will close

‡ key?

Try:"Are you going to shut up?"

He sighs. - Are you going to shut up?

Why would I do Áa?

I could escape.

- To escape, you have to Be locked up. And here you are not.

And at night, in forest,

you would come running back.

Sleep well.

Come on. Bar you, guys.

Go. Go! You want to stay in jail or what?

You are too stupid.

- You cause rabbits, now ?

Farmhouse Áa. Come help me feed the dogs.

I do not like dogs.

Gna, gna, gna ...

You are scared ? You did not have to come to Sologne.

I was forced.

- Ah yes ? Now that you're there, at work.

Song of the cock

- Affirmative. Gamekeeper, it's a policeman of the forest.

- There are thieves in the forest? - A braco, Aa is called.

- "Braco"? - Yes, finally, poacher.

Parasite. Thief of game, fish,

mushrooms, of wood ... Everything.

Here, there is one:Totoche. The worst of all.
