00:33:35,323 --> 00:33:39,283 to support them through His grace, should they lose me, 256 00:33:39,443 --> 00:33:42,843 for as long as they remain in this ephemeral world. 257 00:33:43,963 -->

00:33:57,643 and she can be sure that I hold nothing against her 260 00:33:57,803 --> 00:34:01,883 if she felt she had done any wrong. 261 00:34:02,363 --> 00:34:06,803 I commend my son, if he had the misfortune to become king 262 00:34:06,963 --> 00:34:10,843 to bear in mind he owes everything to the happiness 263 00:34:11,003 --> 00:34:12,603 of his fellow citizens, 264 00:34:12,763 -->

Of course, 953 01:34:27,323 --> 01:34:30,043 she won't be in Brive, where she wants to live. 954 01:34:30,523 --> 01:34:32,563 On Saturday, it'll be my job 955 01:34:32,723 --> 01:34:36,603 to tell

If she agrees to move in near us, 959 01:34:44,763 --> 01:34:47,243 she'll see us often, and the kids, 960 01:34:47,483 --> 01:34:49,483 who she barely saw once a year. 961 01:34:50,243 --> 01:34:51,603 On top of all that, 962 01:34:51,763 --> 01:34:54,123 the complications, the move, 963 01:34:57,323 --> 01:35:00,803 the tough choices on what to keep and what to throw away, 964 01:35:00,963 --> 01:35:03,123 and all that at a distance of 500km, 965 01:35:03,283 --> 01:35:04,803 once work had resumed. 966 01:35:06,243 --> 01:35:09,843 I had a sudden hike in blood pressure,
