Or go to Schilling's and eat ice cream.
:57:05
Pineapple and vanilla were your favourites.
:57:08
Certainly, if l may.
:57:10
l think it's time for you to go.
:57:13
Johanna will be getting impatient.
:57:18
Roswitha, go with Annie
as far as the church!

:57:22
Johanna's waiting there.
:57:27
Let's hope she hasn't caught cold.
:57:36
Give my regards to Johanna.
:57:45
Oh, God in heaven,
forgive me for what l've done!

:57:49
l was a child.
:57:52
No, l wasn't a child anymore.
:57:55
l was old enough to know what l was doing.
:57:58
l don't want to diminish my guilt.
:58:01
But this is too much!
:58:05
What is happening with the child...
:58:09
is not You, God, punishing me. lt is he...
:58:14
and he alone.
:58:17
And l thought he had a noble heart!
:58:22
l always felt small beside him.
:58:27
But now l know it's he...
:58:31
who is small and petty.
:58:34
And because he's petty, he's cruel.
:58:38
Everything that's petty is cruel.
:58:42
He taught the child to behave like that.
:58:49
He was always a schoolmaster.
:58:53
That's what Crampas called him...
:58:56
sarcastically perhaps, but he was right.
