of the 5th of March, 1873.
:30:04
It is not that I do not
remember details of events,

:30:08
for I do...
too vividly.

:30:11
The colors sharp
and garish;

:30:15
sounds heightened and abrasive,
as in a terrible dream

:30:18
that one has over and over
and cannot escape.

:30:32
The longer they stay away,
the fewer chores we have to do.

:30:35
I'm hungry.
:30:38
Should have eaten
your supper.

:30:40
I've just cleaned up
the kitchen.

:30:44
Maren?
:30:46
Can I spend the night
in your bed?

:30:48
I am cold
and afraid.

:30:50
Don't be silly.
:30:52
Perfectly safe
and warm in your room.

:30:54
Please?
:30:56
I know it's childish,
but please?

:31:00
Come.
:31:02
Just let the fire
burn down.

:31:13
Oh, Maren,
:31:16
you are so watchful
over us.

:31:20
Like a mother hen.
:31:27
Your face feels
so warm.

:31:31
Do you have a headache?
:31:40
Anethe...
:31:42
Is that better?
:31:47
Yes.
