Miss te George did not come to
the office any more.
:26:27
Next day she wrote to Stroomkoning
offering her resignation...
:26:30
Without stating a reason
:26:34
and she was never heard of again.
:26:41
Mr. Katadreuffe, you are not well
:26:44
You are very nervous
and physically exhausted.
:26:48
You have no resistance.
:26:50
But do you think I...
:26:51
I don't think you can work.
:26:53
You are burnt out
and a mental wreck.
:26:57
Is that all?
:26:58
No,one other thing.
:27:00
Your mother is not well.
:27:02
You know she has weak lungs.
:27:06
It got worse recently.
:27:08
There is no immediate cause
for concern.
:27:13
Her illness is slow and
she could remain stable for years.
:27:27
I wanted you to know.
:27:29
She never mentions it.
:27:31
Yeah
:27:34
One day I might have to leave her
:27:36
But I shall never marry.
:27:38
I'm not the marrying type
and nor are you, Jacob.
:27:43
A quiet period ensued,
the still before the storm.
:27:47
I was still in debt...
:27:49
But for two years
I heard nothing from Dreverhaven.
:27:55
I heard his business was ailing
