2:37:00
It's curious.
2:37:02
I've observed for years...
2:37:05
that all those who eat a lot
talk unendingly.
2:37:09
It's because
the stream of words...
2:37:12
eases the digestion.
2:37:15
But I don't think
this is the moment...
2:37:18
to dictate an encyclical...
2:37:20
so, Father,
let's get to the point.
2:37:24
And forget about the fried bread!
2:37:26
It'll make you ill!
2:37:30
Good Lord, what a temper!
2:37:34
Well.
2:37:36
Listen carefully.
2:37:40
The Countess Lucrecia...
2:37:44
sunk in a crisis of conscience...
2:37:48
and touched, undoubtedly,
by the Lord's grace...
2:37:53
made a general confession
of her sins to me.
2:37:57
And last night, she sent me
a letter, signed and sealed...
2:38:03
in which,
for the good ofher soul...
2:38:07
and possibly
for yours too, Albrit...
2:38:11
she released me
from the secret of confession.
2:38:18
Which of the two?
2:38:23
Nelly.
2:38:26
Your granddaughter is Nelly.
2:38:39
She is the legitimate descendent...
2:38:42
of the House of Albrit.
