:50:04
Not in the evening.
:50:06
ln the morning, so as to be here
when you arrange the household.

:50:10
l'm more robust than you are, ma'am.
:50:21
Don't say that, Roswitha. l can do it.
:50:30
One can do anything if one has to.
:50:32
And you needn't worry about me.
:50:37
As if l could ever think:
:50:39
''That's not good enough for Roswitha.''
:50:42
For Roswitha, everything is good...
:50:45
that she can share with you...
:50:48

EVERYTHlNG WENT WELL

WAS A SAD OCCASlON,

refreshed her.
:51:32
She Ieaned back in the corner...
:51:36
and Iooked at the sofas enameIIed
on a pane of gIass...

:51:42
The tram was moving sIowIy...
:51:44
when three schooIgirIs with satcheIs
and IittIe pointed hats jumped on.

:51:49
Two of them were fair-haired and IiveIy.
The third was dark and serious.

:51:53

:51:58
which she had Iong desired...
