so that I would one day
be reunited with my brother.

:10:04
I vowed to keep as still
and as silent as possible

:10:09
so that the stormy motions
that threatened to consume me

:10:12
might come
under my control.

:10:14
If you hurry,
you can catch John

:10:17
before they sail off
for Portsmouth.

:10:18
This island
has everything I need.

:10:22
My wife is here.
:10:23
That is all I ever need
or want.

:10:28
And my sister
is here, too.

:10:33
I don't need the distraction
of the city.

:10:35
I am content to stay here
and bait the trawls

:10:40
and think about
my good fortune.

:10:43
You and Anethe
are settling in well?

:10:46
Isn't it obvious
how happy she is?

:10:49
She's... very agreeable.
:10:54
And also pleasant
to look upon.

:10:58
But Anethe has a lot to learn
about keeping a house.

:11:01
But I've brought her
to a good teacher.

:11:03
You've turned yourself
into a first-rate cook.

:11:07
I'll go fat from it.
:11:11
And with any luck,
you'll soon be fat yourself.

:11:14
Is that so?
:11:16
I only mean that one day
you may give us all good news.

:11:24
What is it?
:11:25
I cannot have a child.
:11:33
Are you sure of this,
Maren?

:11:35
Have you been
to a doctor?

:11:38
I have no need
of doctors.

:11:40
Three years have been
proof enough.

:11:44
To tell the truth,
I'm not so surprised.

:11:48
I have suspected
all my life.

:11:52
Or at least since...
:11:58
You remember?
