:41:01
sickly and weak on her legs.
:41:04
That's why she had a woman servant
strong enough...

:41:08
to protect and carry her
if anything happened.

:41:11
l've seen her.
:41:13
Kind brown eyes
with a frank and honest look.

:41:17
-But a bit simple.
-That's right.

:41:24
To shake off her sense
of coIdness and duIIness...

:41:28
she feIt the desire to go for a Ionger waIk.
:41:31
And her doctor had toId her
that exercise in the fresh air...

:41:35
was the best thing for her condition.
:41:46
What is your name?
:41:49
Roswitha.
:41:51
That's an uncommon name. lt must be....
:41:55
You're right, ma'am.
:41:57
lt's a Catholic name.
:41:59
And l am a Catholic.
:42:02
l'm from Eichsfeld.
:42:05
Being Catholic makes things even harder.
:42:08
A lot of people won't take Catholics...
:42:11
because they always
run to church to confess...

:42:14
but don't confess the main thing.
:42:17
The times l've heard that!
:42:19
l'm a bad Catholic.
:42:22
l've completely lapsed.
:42:25
Perhaps that's why things
have turned out badly for me.

:42:28
You have to stick to your faith...
:42:31
and take part in everything.
:42:34
l'd like to ask you something.
:42:37
Are you fond of children?
:42:39
Certainly.
:42:41
lt's terrible, the things you have to do
for old women like that.

:42:47
But a dear little thing...
:42:50
like a doll...
:42:53
that stares at you with its little eyes...
:42:56
that's something...
:42:58
to put joy in your heart.
