00:02:58 Jean Dubois d'Ombelles, Mme Blandin's nephew
00:06:09 The H hour.
00:09:53 My nephew has a delicate constitution...
00:13:20 Have you seen my hat?
00:16:26 Which is why he had "especially recommended" Jean
00:19:29 Corporal Bourrache, a kind of shock absorber
00:20:35 Hello, my dear friend!
00:24:36 You have to practice walking with the mask on.
00:29:03 with a vicious enemy.
00:32:05 Muflot, wait at least until bed check before you go over the wall.
00:36:34 I'd rather skip the birds tonight.
00:41:07 Idiot!
00:46:57 At Lily's insistence, Solange had agreed
00:48:20 I'm under strict orders... but what wouldn't I do for you...?
00:54:25 Leave Solange be! It's Lily who loves you.
00:57:02 We are terribly compromised.
01:02:48 Muflot? Yes, colonel. I'll tell him.
01:05:03 Mme Blandin, adorned with her two daughters, was helping the colonel host the evening.

01:16:18 I don't trust this piece of paper. A signed anonymous poem is a bit fishy.
01:18:11 Dear Solange, his case is very serious. It would be weak not to punish him.
