:18:12
Effi...
:18:14
you're a delightful creature.
:18:17
You have no idea how much l think so...
:18:21
and how l wish to show you every moment...
:18:24
that l think so.
:18:27
There's plenty of time for that.
:18:33
l'm only 17...
:18:34
and don't intend to die yet.
:18:37
Not before me, at least.
:18:40
Admittedly...
:18:42
if l were to die,
l would like to take you with me.
:18:47
No one else should have you.
:18:49
What do you say to that?
:18:57
l'll have to think it over.
:19:01
But let's forget it.
l don't like talking about death.
:19:05
l'm in favour of living.
:19:07
What sort of life shall we lead here?
:19:11
ln ''good old Kessin,'' as you call it...
:19:14
there must be some society we can keep.
:19:18
Are there good families in the town?
:19:22
No, Effi...
:19:24
in that respect
you'll be greatly disappointed.
:19:28
You'll meet a few members...
:19:31
of the local aristocracy.
:19:33
But here in the town there's nobody.
:19:37
Nobody at all?
:19:38
That's hard to believe.
:19:41
Nearly 3,000 people live in the town.
:19:44
And among a population of 3,000,
apart from people like Beza, the barber...
:19:49
there must be some kind of elite or so....
:19:53
AS WELL AS THE COMMON PEOPLE
:19:55
THERE MUST BE AN ELlTE.
:19:58
...and the room upstairs,
where the curtains brush the floor....
