: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.
:43:00
You are a good, true soul.
:43:03
l can see that.
:43:05
Somewhat plainspoken,
but they're often the best people...
:43:10
l felt at once l could trust you.
:43:14
Would you like to work for me?
:43:17
The baby will have to be nursed...
:43:19
and cared for...
:43:21
perhaps even specially fed.
:43:25
l sure l'm not mistaken in you.
:43:36
You did quite right, Effi.
:43:38
lf there's nothing bad
in her serving record...
:43:41
we'll take her
on the strength of her kind face.
:43:44
One rarely goes wrong with that, thank God!
:43:48
All will be well now.
:43:55
l'm no longer afraid.
