:04:01
l'll be away for about a week...
:04:03
perhaps one day longer.
:04:07
And don't be afraid.
:04:09
lt won't come back.
:04:11
You know what l mean...
:04:13
that thing upstairs.
:04:15
Effi smiIed to herseIf...
:04:17
and in her smiIe was a hint of meIanchoIy.
:04:20
She recaIIed the day
Crampas had Iast toId her...
:04:24
Innstetten was enacting a comedy
with the ghost and her fear.
:04:28
''The born schooImaster!''
:04:30
But wasn't he right?
Wasn't the comedy justified?
:04:33
ConfIicting thoughts, good and eviI,
went through her mind.
:04:38
Three days Iater, Innstetten Ieft.
:04:40
He said nothing about
his reasons for going to BerIin.
:04:45
SHE GAVE UP HER WALKS
:04:48
TO THE BEACH AND THE PLANTATlON
:04:50
WHlLE CRAMPAS WAS lN STETTlN,
:04:53
BUT SHE RESUMED THEM ON HlS RETURN.
:04:56
NOT EVEN lNCLEMENT WEATHER
:04:59
COULD DETER HER.
:05:02
Either it was unrequited love,
or it might have been requited...
:05:06
and the Chinaman couldn't bear
the thought that it was suddenly all over.
:05:12
The Chinese are human beings as well.
They feel everything just as we do.
:05:17
Everything.
:05:20
-l need the leather varnish.
-l'll bring it out to you, Kruse.
:05:35
Everything as we do.
:05:37
There's a time and place for everything.
:05:39
But that business with the Chinaman
is very strange.
:05:43
lt's a load of nonsense.
:05:45
And instead of attending
to what's important...
:05:48
my wife talks about things like that.
:05:50
When l need a clean shirt,
there's a button missing.
:05:53
Then there's the black chicken!
:05:55
lt doesn't even lay eggs.
:05:59
And anyway...
