:58:06
Was it the major's plan?
:58:09
Yes. As you know,
he was elected unanimously...
:58:12
to the entertainments committee.
:58:14
We can look forward to
a pleasant winter at the club.
:58:18
He's ideal for the position.
:58:20
And...
:58:23
will he be acting as well?
:58:25
No.
:58:27
He declined to do that...
:58:30
unfortunately.
:58:32
He could play Arthur von Schmettwitz
quite excellently.
:58:37
He's just directing.
:58:40
All the worse.
:58:42
All the worse?
:58:45
Oh, don't take me too seriously.
:58:49
lt's just a way of saying the opposite, really.
:58:54
On the other hand...
:58:57
there's something forceful about the major.
:59:00
He likes doing things over one's head.
:59:04
One has to do things the way he wants.
:59:25
What pleased me most...
:59:28
was my charming little wife,
who turned all heads.
:59:31
Don't talk like that! l'm vain enough.
:59:34
Vain enough perhaps...
:59:36
but not nearly as vain as the others.
:59:39
-And your 7 beautiful attributes!
-Everyone has 7 beautiful attributes.
:59:43
A slip of the tongue.
:59:45
Multiply that number by itself!
:59:47
How gallant you are.
:59:49
lf l didn't know you, l might be afraid of you.
:59:52
Or is there something else behind it?
:59:55
Do you have a guilty conscience?
:59:57
Have you been eavesdropping?
