When RummschuetteI was caIIed...
1:01:19
he was concerned about Effi's condition.
1:01:22
The hectic state
he had observed for some time...

1:01:25
seemed more pronounced than before.
1:01:29
''But it must be at Hohen-Cremmen.
1:01:32
''To regain her heaIth, your daughter
needs more than just a change of air.

1:01:36
''She's pining away. AII she has is Roswitha.
1:01:39
''LoyaI service is good,
but parentaI Iove is better.

1:01:43
''Forgive an oId man interfering in matters...
1:01:46
''that are no concern of a doctor.
1:01:49
''And yet, it is as a doctor
that I write to you...

1:01:52
''and make these demands
out of a sense of duty.

1:01:56
''I've seen so much of Iife....''
1:01:58
...l love her at least as much as you do.
Each in his own way.

1:02:02
But we're not here just to be
kind and understanding...

1:02:06
towards things that are
against laws and commandments...

1:02:09
and that society condemns...
1:02:12
and rightly condemns at present.
1:02:15
-One thing counts above all else.
-Of course one thing really counts.

1:02:19
But what is it?
1:02:24
The love of parents for their children.
1:02:27
Even if there's only one.
1:02:33
Then that's the end of...
1:02:36
catechism...
1:02:39
and morality...
1:02:43
and the claims of society?
1:02:52
lt's hard to get along without society.
1:02:56
Without one's child, too.
