:52:01
''And since that's your ambition...
:52:04
''you've hit on something
out of the ordinary, namely ghosts.''
:52:08
You say nothing?
:52:16
ln all seriousness, Crampas,
and l should like a serious reply...
:52:20
how do you explain all this?
:52:29
My dear lady...
:52:32
as well as furthering his career,
regardless of cost...
:52:36
and with the aid of a ghost if necessary...
:52:40
lnnstetten has another passion.
:52:45
He has an urge to be didactic.
:52:49
He's a born schoolmaster.
:52:52
And he wants to educate me?
:52:54
Education by means of ghosts?
:52:58
''Educate'' is perhaps the wrong word.
:53:02
But education in a roundabout way.
:53:05
l don't understand you.
:53:08
A young wife...
:53:12
is a young wife...
:53:14
and a district councillor...
:53:18
has to travel around a lot...
:53:21
which means leaving his house alone...
:53:25
and unguarded.
:53:30
A ghost is like an angel with a sword.
:53:34
The fact that Innstetten kept a ghost...
:53:37
so as not to Iive in a commonpIace house,
might be accepted.
:53:41
It met his need to distinguish
himseIf from the crowd.
:53:45
But to use the ghost
as a means of education...
:53:49
was mean, aImost insuIting.
:53:53
And she reaIized
that this ''means of education''...
:53:57
was not even haIf the story.
:53:59
What Crampas had impIied
went much further.
