:52:00
now fiIIed her with mortaI fear.
What shouId she do?
:52:04
She opened the door to the front pIatform,
where onIy the driver stood...
:52:09
and asked him to Iet her get off at the front.
:52:13
''Not aIIowed, miss, '' the driver said...
:52:15
but she gave him a coin
and such a pIeading Iook...
:52:19
that the good-hearted man
reIented and muttered.:
:52:23
''ShouIdn't reaIIy,
but aII right, just this once.''
:52:26
And he removed the grating,
and Effi jumped down.
:52:32
She's half one and half the other.
:52:35
ln her prettiness, her specialness...
:52:39
she takes after her mother...
:52:41
but she has her seriousness...
:52:44
from her father.
:52:45
All things considered,
she's probably more like the master.
:52:51
Thank goodness!
:52:54
Well, ma'am, that's the question.
:52:58
Many would be more
in favour of the mother.
:53:02
You think so, Roswitha?
:53:04
l don't.
:53:07
You can't pull the wool over my eyes...
:53:11
and l think my mistress knows
the truth of the matter...
:53:15
and what men really want.
:53:20
Let's not talk about that, Roswitha!
:53:23
Effi was oppressed by the notion...
:53:25
of having run away from her own chiId.
:53:30
''l'm delighted to be able
to tell you the good news.
:53:35
''lt worked out as we hoped.
Your husband is a man of the world...
:53:39
''and would not refuse a lady's request.
:53:43
''At the same time,
l should not conceal the fact from you.
:53:47
''His consent was evidently
not in accordance...
:53:51
''with what he considered wise and proper.
:53:53
''But let's not find fault
when we should be rejoicing.
:53:56
''lt was agreed that your Annie
should visit you at lunch time.
