:17:04
lf you sleep away the morning...
:17:06
the whole day is in disarray.
:17:11
But the master won't be too strict with me.
:17:15
l lay awake a long time last night.
:17:18
l was even somewhat afraid.
:17:22
What do l hear, ma'am? What happened?
:17:31
l heard a strange sound above me...
:17:34
not loud, but insistent...
:17:37
like dresses with long trains
brushing over the floorboards.
:17:42
ln my agitation, l thought
l saw small, white satin shoes...
:17:47
as if someone were dancing up there,
very quietly.
:17:53
That's in the hall upstairs.
:17:55
We used to hear it in the kitchen, too.
But not anymore.
:17:59
We've grown accustomed to it.
:18:12
Effi...
:18:14
you're a delightful creature.
:18:17
You have no idea how much l think so...
:18:21
and how l wish to show you every moment...
:18:24
that l think so.
:18:27
There's plenty of time for that.
:18:33
l'm only 17...
:18:34
and don't intend to die yet.
:18:37
Not before me, at least.
:18:40
Admittedly...
:18:42
if l were to die,
l would like to take you with me.
:18:47
No one else should have you.
:18:49
What do you say to that?
:18:57
l'll have to think it over.
