:10:02
Well, you see, Mama...
:10:05
the fact that he's older than l am...
:10:08
doesn't matter. Perhaps it's a good thing.
:10:11
He's not really old.
:10:13
He's fit and well...
:10:16
and soldierly and dashing.
:10:20
l could almost say l'm all for him...
:10:23
if only...
:10:24
well...
:10:26
-if only he were just a little different.
-Different in what way?
:10:31
Yes, in what way?
:10:34
You mustn't laugh at me, Mama.
:10:36
lt's something l heard only recently
at the pastor's house.
:10:42
We were talking about lnnstetten...
:10:45
when suddenly old Niemeyer frowned...
:10:50
in an admiring sort of way and said:
:10:56
''The baron is a man of principles.''
:11:01
-So he is, Effi.
-Of course.
:11:04
l think Niemeyer even said...
:11:07
lnnstetten was a person...
:11:09
of great probity...
:11:11
and that seems to me to be even higher.
:11:14
But l am not at all.
:11:19
You see, Mama...
:11:21
that's something
that pains and frightens me.
:11:24
He's so kind and good to me...
:11:28
so considerate.
:11:30
But l'm afraid of him.
:11:41
A MAN lN HlS POSlTlON
:11:43
HAS TO BE COLD, OF COURSE.
:11:46
ON WHAT DO PEOPLE FOUNDER lN LlFE
:11:49
lF NOT WARM HUMAN EMOTlONS?
:11:57
There's nothing like a wedding!
