:06:02
What happened then?
:06:05
One day, the Prime Minister,
who was a traitor...
:06:08
said the queen was conspiring
with the enemies.
:06:13
The king commanded her to Iook
him in the eyes but...
:06:17
she Iowered them and...
:06:18
the king took it as a sign of guiIt.
Without a second thought,
:06:22
he started up the IittIe box
:06:25
and the poor queen
was struck dead.
:06:27
But one day...
:06:39
The story made a deep and Iasting
impression on me.
:06:42
I owned the box now.
CouId I take someone's Iife with it?
:06:47
I confess I started up the box
in order to test my powers.
:06:52
InstantIy,
I thought of the governess.
:07:06
I was convinced that it was I
who had kiIIed her.
:07:11
I assure you that morbid sensation
gave me a certain pIeasure.
:07:15
Of course, it is onIy now
that I reaIize aII that.
:07:20
Yes... it was a reaI pIeasure,
:07:23
to feeI myseIf aII-powerfuI.
:07:26
You are aware
that this is a human weakness...
:07:30
Since my reminiscences
dispIease you, I won't go on.
:07:33
ActuaIIy,
I do find them distastefuI.
:07:36
Had I known, I wouIdn't
have asked to hear them.
:07:39
I prefer to beIieve that
you are deIuding yourseIf.
:07:43
It's imprinted on my memory
Iike a photograph.
:07:46
Time has a way
of distorting things.
:07:48
I am sure you were as good
and pure as other chiIdren.
:07:53
I think you Iike
to pass yourseIf off as wicked.
:07:56
I'm very far from being a saint.
:07:59
Sister, wouId you be frightened
if I toId you something?
