1:04:06
You wanted me?
1:04:08
At least that idiot
had the wit to go.
1:04:11
An hour I spent
upon your note...
1:04:14
...and, on consideration, I see
my diffidence was deference.
1:04:18
But to remain thus in the face
of such encouragement was wrong.
1:04:23
And so I've decided to declare
I love you.
1:04:26
But it is with great respect
I love you.
1:04:29
Forgive me, I am nervous.
1:04:32
Teodoro, I believe you.
1:04:34
Why should you not love me
since I'm your employer...
1:04:37
...and I favour you
above my other servants?
1:04:40
I do not understand.
1:04:42
There's no more to understand.
1:04:44
Your thoughts should never
pass that line.
1:04:47
Curb any rash ambition,
for from a woman of such rank...
1:04:50
...especially since your merits
are so meagre...
1:04:53
...the slightest favour should
suffice to keep you happy.
1:04:58
Your ladyship,
forgive my boldness...
1:05:02
...suffers from not infrequent
fits of giddiness...
1:05:05
...not mental,
temperamental.
1:05:09
What was the use of holding out
such hopes that, as you know...
1:05:12
...the strain of my excitement
when first we spoke...
1:05:15
...had me ill in bed
for near a month...
1:05:18
...if when you find I'm cool
you turn to fire...
1:05:20
...but when I burn
you freeze to solid ice?
1:05:23
Leave me with Marcela.
1:05:25
You're like the dog
in Aesop's tale.
1:05:29
Too consumed with jealousy
to let me marry her...
1:05:32
...but if you see me turn
from her, you drive me mad...
1:05:35
...and shatter my illusions.
1:05:36
Eat or let others eat, then.
I can't live on empty hopes.
1:05:41
And there is one
I know loves me.
1:05:43
Not that, Teodoro.
I warn you, not Marcela!
1:05:47
Turn to any other woman
but Marcela. She's no remedy.
1:05:50
Oh, isn't she?
1:05:52
So, despite our love, you would
insist I try my luck elsewhere?
1:05:57
In matters of the heart, I'm to
follow another's inclinations?
