:16:02
And always the sound of the sea.
:16:05
lt's very beautiful...
:16:08
but also rather eerie.
:16:11
Yes, eerie...
:16:13
and l'd like to know more about it.
:16:16
Then again, maybe not.
:16:18
lf l hope to sleep well tonight,
l won't want to see a Chinese by my bed.
:16:31
How you spoil your poor little Effi!
:16:34
A grand piano, and this rug...
:16:36
l do believe it's Turkish.
:16:39
And the bowl with fish, and the jardiniére!
:16:43
l'm being spoiled on all sides!
:16:55
The master was quite right.
:16:58
''Up with the lark''
was my parents' motto, too.
:17:04
lf you sleep away the morning...
:17:06
the whole day is in disarray.
:17:11
But the master won't be too strict with me.
:17:15
l lay awake a long time last night.
:17:18
l was even somewhat afraid.
:17:22
What do l hear, ma'am? What happened?
:17:31
l heard a strange sound above me...
:17:34
not loud, but insistent...
:17:37
like dresses with long trains
brushing over the floorboards.
:17:42
ln my agitation, l thought
l saw small, white satin shoes...
:17:47
as if someone were dancing up there,
very quietly.
:17:53
That's in the hall upstairs.
:17:55
We used to hear it in the kitchen, too.
But not anymore.
:17:59
We've grown accustomed to it.
