:00:01
You speak so strangely, Geert.
:00:04
There's a hidden reproach in your words,
and l sense why.

:00:09
lt irks you that Crampas came
and offered us his help.

:00:13
Us?
:00:14
Yes, us. You and me.
:00:18
Have you forgotten?
The major helped at your request.

:00:22
Why shouldn't l drive with him
in his carriage, then?

:00:29
Where l come from...
:00:31
one says it is wrong...
:00:34
to mistrust a gentleman.
:00:36
A gentleman!
:00:38
lsn't he one?
:00:42
You yourself said how gallant he is...
:00:45
a perfect cavalier.
:00:48
Yes, he's gallant enough...
:00:51
a perfect cavalier.
:00:52
No doubt about it. But a gentleman?
:00:55
My dear Effi,
a gentleman is something different.

:00:59
Do you see anything noble about him?
:01:02
l don't.
:01:04
lt would seem we're of the same opinion.
:01:08
Anyway...
:01:10
as you remarked, it's my fault.
:01:13
l won't say it was a faux pas.
That's not the appropriate expression.

:01:17
lt was my fault.
:01:19
And it won't happen again if l can prevent it.
:01:22
But you, too...
:01:24
should be on your guard,
if you'll take my advice.

:01:28
He's an unscrupulous man.
:01:31
He has his own ideas about young women.
l know him of old.

:01:36
l shall heed your words...
:01:40
but l must say...
:01:41
l think you misjudge him.
:01:47
l do not misjudge him.
:01:53
Perhaps me, then.
:01:55
Nor you, my dear Effi.
:01:57
You're a delightful little woman...
:01:59
but steadfastness is not your strong point.
