Sometimes I stand
looking at my wife
:02:17
without her knowing I'm here.
:02:21
The first time she
entered that room she said,
:02:26
"Oh, how nice.
I feel at home here. "
:02:30
We hadn't known
each other long.
:02:33
We met at a bishops'
conference In Trondheim.
:02:35
She was there as a journalist.
:02:39
I told her about
the parsonage out here.
:02:44
I ventured to suggest a visit
:02:48
when the conference was over.
:02:51
On the way, I asked
her to marry me.
:02:56
She didn't answer, but when
we entered the room she said,
:03:03
"Oh, how nice.
I feel at home here. "
:03:08
Since then we've lived a quiet,
happy Iife at the parsonage.
:03:13
Eva has, of course, told me
about her earlier life.
:03:17
After leaving school
she went on to college
:03:22
got engaged to a doctor and
lived with him for several years.
:03:28
Wrote two small books.
:03:32
Came down with tuberculosis,
broke offthe engagement
:03:36
and moved from Oslo to a small
town In the south of Norway
:03:41
where she began
to work as a journalist.
:03:45
This is the first of her books.
I like it so much.
:03:50
She has written,
:03:53
"One must learn to live.
I practice every day.
:03:58
" My biggest obstacle is
I don't know who I am.
