:03:00
I'd better start getting
my things together.
:03:03
There's no hurry.
:03:04
We won't reach his dock
until tomorrow.
:03:06
- Is it that large?
- There's more to it than size.
:03:10
This is another world,
Mrs. Leiningen.
:03:12
Beyond that next bend, your husband
has more power than a king.
:03:20
You know about me, don't you?
:03:22
You haven't mentioned it
the whole trip,
:03:24
but I think you know all about me.
:03:28
Your name was Joanna Selby.
You're 25 years old.
:03:31
You come from New Orleans.
You married Mr. Leiningen by proxy.
:03:34
- You've never seen each other...
- Oh, you know a great deal.
:03:37
When your part of the marriage
ceremony was performed,
:03:39
Mr. Leiningen's brother
acted in his place.
:03:42
When the marriage by proxy
was performed here,
:03:44
I took your place.
:03:45
I was very good.
:03:47
I also performed the ceremony.
:03:49
Well, you're almost one of the family.
:03:51
Well, as commissioner
of this area for my government,
:03:53
I have to know everything.
:03:55
And besides,
I'm what you call nosy.
:03:59
Will you be stopping off
at my husband's place?
:04:03
No.
:04:05
No, I have business
further upriver I cannot delay.
:04:10
- A little while ago a bird flew over us.
- Yes, I saw it.
:04:15
There have been
many such birds lately.
:04:18
My government wants to know
all about these birds.
:04:22
Sounds very mysterious.
:04:24
I hope it remains so, only a mystery.
:04:27
At any rate, after tomorrow,
I will not see you again for a while.
:04:31
But I wish you much joy of
our marriage to Mr. Leiningen.
:04:35
Thank you. But you still haven't
told me anything about him, you know.
:04:40
In a few days,
on my way downriver,
:04:42
I will stop and visit you.
:04:44
By then you'll know more
about Leiningen than I do.
