:27:05
What are you thinking?
:27:09
Nothing. Go on.
:27:29
From that time forth, a marked
change took place
:27:32
in the outward behavior
of the young libertine.
:27:36
She no longer left her estate,
excluding all companions.
:27:41
Qr could the wild, unearthly
horse that she rode constantly
:27:46
have claimed some mysterious
right of friendship...
:27:50
Frederique remained faithful
to him.
:27:54
In the glare of noon,
at the dead hour of night,
:27:57
in sickness or in health,
in calm or in tempest,
:28:01
Frederique seemed riveted to the
saddle of that colossal horse,
:28:06
his audacities so well
accorded with her own spirit.
:28:14
0ld man, will it take long?
:28:22
I don't know.
:28:24
Some days, the threads sing.
:28:28
0n others, they resist
and tie themselves in knots.
:28:33
I asked you how long.
:28:36
Weeks... months perhaps.
