Any letters from the children?
- No still none.
1:20:42
Then they are probably enjoying themselves.
1:20:45
The president of the CH
is complimenting you on 'Afke'...
1:20:49
...and, don't be startled,
so is the leader of the liberal party.
1:20:53
Did they read it to eachother?
- Their wives to their children.
1:20:59
Now you know who it reaches.
1:21:01
It tells you something about the quality
of the book, but also about its flaws.
1:21:07
I hadn't heard you about that yet.
- The class struggle.
1:21:11
There is nothing about resistance
or rebelling in the book.
1:21:15
A letter from my father.
1:21:18
That is probably why the liberals like the book.
1:21:21
It is about poverty,
but it is still romantic.
1:21:25
As l've said before:
l don't write movement books.
1:21:31
It seems to mean a lot...
1:21:33
...when the life of poor farmers is described in a book.
1:21:38
It's what touches the reader.
1:21:41
I get more letters from workers
than you ever did.
1:21:46
Don't be so condescending,
i've had enough of that.
1:21:49
I'm sorry.
1:21:51
And what idiot said we
had to send the children away?
1:21:59
I miss the children too, dammit.
