:03:01
There's no hurry. We won't reach
his dock until tomorrow.
:03:05
- Is it that large?
- There's more to it than size.
:03:09
This is another world, Mrs Leiningen.
:03:11
Beyond that bend, your husband
has more power than a king.
:03:19
You know about me, don't you?
:03:21
You haven't mentioned it the whole trip,
but i think you know all about me.
:03:27
Your name was Joanna Selby. You're 25
years old. You come from New Orleans.
:03:31
You married by proxy.
You've never seen each other.
:03:34
You know a great deal.
:03:36
When your part of the marriage
ceremony was performed,
:03:39
Mr Leiningen's brother acted in his place.
:03:41
When the ceremony was performed
here, i took your place. I was good.
:03:45
I also performed the ceremony.
:03:48
You're almost one of the family.
:03:50
As commissioner of this area for my
government, i have to know everything,
:03:54
and besides, i'm what you call nosy.
:03:58
Will you be stopping off
at my husband's place?
:04:02
No. No, i have business
further upriver i cannot delay.
:04:09
A little while ago a bird flew over us.
:04:12
Yes, i saw it.
:04:14
There have been many such birds lately.
:04:17
My government wants to know
all about these birds.
:04:21
Sounds very mysterious.
:04:23
I hope it remains so, only a mystery.
:04:26
At any rate, after tomorrow,
i'll not see you again for a while.
:04:30
But i wish you much joy of
our marriage to Mr Leiningen.
:04:34
Thank you, but you still haven't told me
anything about him, you know.
:04:40
In a few days, on my way downriver,
i will stop and visit you.
:04:43
By then you'll know more
about Leiningen than i do.
