:30:03
and sleep here till tomorrow...
:30:05
or until the master comes back.
:30:11
The master shouldn't find out l'm afraid.
He doesn't like that.
:30:17
He wants me to be brave.
:30:20
But l can't be.
:30:24
l know l have to overcome my fears...
:30:29
and do as he wishes.
:30:50
What's the matter with your mistress?
Kruse said you'd slept over there.
:30:55
Yes, sir.
:30:56
Madam rang three times quickly.
:30:58
Not without reason, l thought.
:31:01
And l was right.
:31:02
Probably a dream, or the other thing.
:31:05
What other thing?
:31:07
-Oh, you know, sir--
-l know nothing.
:31:10
Anyway, it must stop.
:31:12
HaIf an hour Iater, Effi appeared.
:31:15
She Iooked IoveIy, quite paIe,
and Ieaning on Johanna's arm.
:31:19
But when she saw Innstetten...
:31:21
she ran to him and hugged and kissed him...
:31:24
and the tears ran down her cheeks.
:31:31
You see, Effi...
:31:33
l can't just go away from here...
:31:36
even if one could sell the house
or exchange it for another...
:31:41
it would be like a rebuff to the prince.
:31:45
l can't have the people here saying:
:31:48
''lnnstetten is selling his house...
:31:50
''because his wife thought the picture
of a Chinaman near her bed was a ghost.''
:31:55
That would be the end of me.
:31:58
One would never live down...
