:25:02
whiIe the Grasenabbs in Kroschentin
decIared her to be an ''atheist.''

:25:07
AdmittedIy, oId Frau von Grasenabb...
:25:09
née StiefeI von StiefeIstein
from south Germany...

:25:12
had made a vague attempt
to cIaim Effi for the ideas of deism.

:25:16
But Sidonie von Grasenabb,
a 43-year-oId spinster...

:25:20
wouId have none of it.
:25:21
''She's an atheist, Mother...
:25:24
''and that's the truth of the matter!''
:25:27
Whereupon, the oId Iady,
who feared her own daughter...

:25:31
wretchedIy heId her tongue.
:25:36
Yes...
:25:37
we should celebrate this day...
:25:39
but l'm not sure how.
:25:41
Shall l play you...
:25:43
a victory march?
:25:47
Or should l...
:25:50
bear you in triumph across the hall?
:25:52
We ought to do something...
:25:55
for you should know...
:25:57
today's courtesy visit was the last.
:26:00
Thank goodness!
:26:03
But the mere feeling that
we can relax now is celebration enough.

:26:08
You might give me a kiss, though.
:26:11
But you don't even think of that.
:26:14
Not a token of affection the whole journey.
:26:18
You're as icy as a snowman.
:26:21
Don't go on!
:26:22
l shall mend my ways.
:26:32
THEN CAME THElR FlRST SEPARATlON,
:26:34
WHlCH LASTED ALMOST 12 HOURS.
:26:48
DEAR MAMA!
