:19:01
and it will go on without us.
:19:04
How will we be remembered, I wonder?
:19:07
Why should we be remembered at all?
:19:09
Nobility - the kind that continues
just because it continues to exist -
:19:15
is becoming extinct.
:19:17
But why?
:19:19
Because the world has
become a changed place.
:19:22
And, like the dinosaurs,

as a portrait of the last
Contessa Torlato-Favrini.
:20:36
Maria is a living woman,
too much in love with you.
:20:39
Have you thought
for a moment about her?
:20:42
Have you thought about
anybody else but yourself
:20:45
and your obsession with 14 letters of the
