00:00As Julianna Bordero sat there before me, my heart beat as fast as if the miracle of
00:11resurrection had taken place solely for my benefit. Her presence seemed somehow to contain
00:17his, and I fell near to him at that first moment of seeing her than I ever had before, or ever
00:24have since. I felt an irresistible desire to hold in my own for a moment the hand
00:32that Jeffrey Asperin had pressed.
00:46One doesn't defend one's God. One's God isn't himself a defense.
00:54Today Jeffrey Asperin shines high in the heaven of our literature, for all the world to see.
01:05He is a part of the light by which we walk.
01:12He had been not only one of the most brilliant poets of his day,
01:16but one of the most genial men, and one of the handsomest.
01:20His early death had been the only dark spot in his life,
01:26unless the papers in Miss Bordero's hands should perversely bring out others.
01:34By what passions had he been ravaged? By what sufferings had she been blanched?
01:48By what if he was a man who lives.
01:51By what if he would have been the only dark spot?
01:52By what is his the only spirit of his life is an extreme power,
01:53he would not show the nature of his life as it is.
01:54By what his mind is the other side,
01:54the history of his life is a very similar person.
01:57By what the most achievements of his life is an extreme fire,
01:59by the name of his life has been found,
01:59the last choice of the miracle he's been told.
02:01The name of the Males' spirit is an extreme power in his life.
02:03The moment of his life is a great match to do for many years of his life,
02:07he would simply find him by the красutor.
02:09The last choice of the truth is my life has been the most British let alone in the land of the earth,
02:11the last choice of his age.
04:57You know.
04:58I'm looking for a garden.
05:01It's absurd if you like for a man.
05:03But I can't live without flowers.
05:07There are none to speak of down there.
05:09It costs too much to cultivate them.
05:12One has to have a man.
05:14Why should I not be that man?
05:17You shall have the finest flowers in Venice.
05:20I don't know you.
05:22Oh you know me as much as I know you.
05:25That is to say, much more, as you now know my name.
05:33If you're so fond of gardens, why don't you go to Terra Firma,
05:38where there are so many far better than mine?
05:42It's the combination.
05:44The idea of a garden in the middle of the sea.
05:47It's not in the middle of the sea.
05:49It's many years since I have been in one of the gondola.
05:58Well, let me assure you of the pleasure at which I would put mine at your service.
06:05You're English, are you not?
06:08If you are, I'm almost a countryman.
06:11I'm not English.
06:13You don't mean to say you're an American.
06:16I don't know.
06:19Used to be.
06:21Used to be.
06:22It's been so many years, but nothing now.
06:28I'm not going to take anything from you.
06:30I have some writing to do.
06:32I would like some quiet over a period, possibly all winter.
06:36I also need a great deal of open air.
06:39I find a garden is really indispensable.
06:44Nothing will change for you all.
06:47Except, of course, the flowers.
06:50For us all.
06:51I mean all your family.
06:53However many you are.
06:55There's only one other.
06:57She's very old.
06:59Only one other?
07:01In all this place?
07:03Surely then you have space to spare.
07:05If you could let me two, three rooms, it would greatly assist me.
07:11I can't decide anything.
07:13You must see my aunt.
07:16The young lady who received you so kindly, as you say, is my niece.
07:23Her name is Tina.
07:25She will come in.
07:27But I wish to see you alone for a moment.
07:29I'll be delighted to see your niece again.
07:32Miss Tina was so very courteous to me.
07:35She has very good manners.
07:37I bred her up myself.
07:39I imagine she must have thought me very odd.
07:42It matters little how odd you are.
07:45I don't care who you are.
07:48Signifies very little today.
07:51Am I to understand?
07:53There's nothing to understand.
07:56Just listen carefully.
07:58You may have as many rooms as you like.
08:05If you will pay me a great deal of money.
08:09I will pay with pleasure.
08:11And, of course, in advance, whatever you think proper to ask of me.
08:15Well then, a thousand francs a month.
08:18A thousand?
08:21My dear lady, your views perfectly fit my own.
08:27Tomorrow I shall have the pleasure of putting three months' rent into your hand.
08:32Three thousand.
08:34Three thousand francs?
08:37Oh, did you mean francs or dollars?
08:41I think francs were what you said.
08:44Oh, that seems to be very good to me.
08:47What do you know? How do you know?
08:49You've always been ignorant of these matters, praise God.
08:53That's quite true.
08:56I know nothing about money.
08:59Nothing at all.
09:01You have your own branches of knowledge.
09:03I'm sure.
09:04Well, she had a very good English education when she was young.
09:09But she's learned nothing since.
09:12That's because I've always been with you.
09:15None for that.
09:17What time will you come tomorrow with the money?
09:20If it suits you, I'll come at noon.
09:22It suits me.
09:24I will see you at noon.
09:26With the money.
09:27I'll be punctual.
09:29May I shake your hand?
09:32On our contract.
09:34I belong to a time when that was not the custom.
09:43And you, miss?
09:45Will you shake my hand?
09:47Surely you accept the custom of our day.
09:49Will you bring the money in gold?
09:53In gold?
09:55Aren't you a little afraid to keep such a sum in gold in the house?
09:59Of whom should I be afraid if I'm not afraid of you?
10:02Quite.
10:04I'll bring gold, if you prefer.
10:06Yes.
10:07I prefer, since I asked.
10:12This conversation has tired me.
10:15I want you to go now.
10:36The strange thing is, I've discovered Julianna Bordero is still alive.
10:45It's as if I've discovered the famous lady Hamilton is.
10:48And she belongs to a generation just as extinct.
10:51Every one of Asprin's contemporaries has passed.
10:55I haven't been able to look into a single pair of eyes that his might have looked into.
10:59Or have had transmitted contact from an aged hand that his has touched.
11:03In all my years of research, I've encountered phantoms, ghosts, echoes of echoes.
11:10When the one source of information that has lingered on into our time has been unheeded by me.
11:16Why don't you simply offer them a sum of money?
11:18In that way you might obtain her letters without so many sleepless nights.
11:22She would never accept money for anything so valuable.
11:27The world has recognized Jeffrey Asprin.
11:30And I've recognized him most.
11:32I've done more for his memory than anyone else.
11:35And I've done it by shining a light into his life.
11:39And into yours.
11:41Your Babylon was dust.
11:47The magus Ora Aster, my dead child,
11:51met his own image walking in the garden.
11:54That apparition, soul of man, he saw.
12:00One of Asprin's poems?
12:03Of course.
12:05You're too fond of mystery. That's your great fault.
12:08But you'll have to change your name.
12:11Juliana lives out of the world as much as it's possible to live.
12:15Nonetheless, she's probably heard of Mr. Asprin's editors.
12:19She may know about what you've published.
12:21May even have read it.
12:25I've thought of that.
12:30Duplicity is my only course.
12:32First I have to sit down with her.
12:34Then tackle the main job.
12:39Or else seduce the niece.
12:41Isn't it charming? It's gray and pink.
12:55It hasn't gotten near so much decay as it's quite discouraging.
13:00Quite, I'll say.
13:02Even though you can pass on foot, scarcely anyone thinks of doing so.
13:06Perhaps the people are afraid of the missus, Borderella.
13:10They have the reputation of witches.
13:13Wish me luck.
13:22I've had better fortune than I'd hoped.
13:25Tell me.
13:26How did you manage to convince her?
13:28It was the idea of the money that convinced her.
13:33That was your only argument?
13:36And that I said that I thought she'd get a good deal?
13:39That I thought you were rich?
13:41And what put that idea into your head?
13:43I don't know.
13:45The way that you talked.
13:47Oh dear.
13:49I think I must talk differently.
13:51I'm afraid my voice has deceived you.
13:53Do you think it's too much?
13:56That depends on the amount of pleasure I get for it.
13:59Pleasure?
14:01There is no pleasure in this house.
14:03I think in the courtroom...
14:04She said your rooms would be very distinct.
14:05Apart.
14:06You know?
14:07That would certainly be best.
14:08I don't know if it will make any difference to you.
14:09But...
14:10The money is for me.
14:11So, this is where your aunt would like me to be.
14:15She said your rooms ought to be very distinct.
14:18Apart, you know?
14:21That would certainly be best.
14:23I don't know if it'll make any difference to you,
14:26but the money is for me.
14:29Money?
14:31The money you're going to bring.
14:33You'll make me want to stay three years.
14:35Well, that would be very good for me.
14:39She wants me to have something.
14:42She fears that she's going to die.
14:45Not soon, I hope.
14:46Why do you say that?
14:48Not soon.
14:50It's as if you feared something.
14:53No, no, no, no.
14:55I hope she's not seriously ill.
14:57For her sake.
14:59And for yours.
15:02No.
15:03She's just very tired.
15:06That's all.
15:07She's tired of everything.
15:08She's lived so many years, she said she'd like to try dying for a change.
15:13All her friends died long ago and either they ought to have remained or she ought to have gone with them.
15:21That's what she says.
15:22But people don't die when they want to, do they?
15:28I guess you won't have much to say to me while I'm here.
15:31No.
15:33There's nothing to tell.
15:34We live such a quiet life.
15:37I don't know how the days pass.
15:38I don't know how the days pass.
15:40You're very trusting.
15:45Trusting?
15:46Mm-hmm.
15:48I suppose that I am a trusting person.
15:51as soon as my rooms had been arranged i surveyed the place looking for my opportunity
16:02yet you can push through a breach but you can't batter down a dead wall
16:08they were like two hunted creatures fading death
16:13i made a point of spending as much time as possible in the garden
16:19to justify the picture i had originally given of my horticultural passion
16:24and i not only spent time but considerable money
16:33i had to be consistent keep my promise that i would smother the house in flowers
16:41i had formed this project that by flowers i would make my way
16:47i used to watch as long as i thought decent the door that led to miss bordero's part of the house
17:01a person observing me might have thought i was trying to cast a spell on her door
17:07or was attempting some odd experiment in hypnotism
17:12but i was not rewarded with a glimpse of the tail of her dress
17:16it was as if she had never peeped out
17:20of her apartment
17:21what store of passionate memories
17:38had juliana laid away for the monotonous future
17:41a secret noun to none but thee
17:45and no one else
17:47of living things
17:48she was the daughter of an artist
18:00a painter
18:01a sculptor who had left america when the century was fresh
18:04upon her arrival in europe
18:08she surrounded herself with poets and writers
18:12there was an implication that she'd had an adventurous and fascinating character
18:19particularly
18:37about her
18:39in the
18:46I'm so glad you've come.
19:06You speak as if you were lost in the woods.
19:09How you managed to stay out of this charming place when you only have three feet to get into it.
19:14It's more than I've been able to discover.
19:16Tell me, how do you manage, without air, without movement, without any sort of contact from outside?
19:29Go to bed very early.
19:33Earlier than you'd imagine.
19:38Do you know, I've never been out here at this time of day.
19:44Never?
19:46In this fragrant place, blooming right here, under your nose?
19:50It was never nice till now.
19:53You know, I must confess.
19:57I've wondered why you've never given me the slightest sign.
20:00You've never thanked me in any way for the flowers I've been setting up.
20:04I didn't know they were for me.
20:06They were for you both.
20:07Why should I make a difference?
20:09Why do you want to know us?
20:18Now that question is your aunt's.
20:20It isn't yours.
20:21You wouldn't ask it if you weren't put up to it.
20:24She didn't tell me to ask you it.
20:26Well, does your aunt see anything wrong with the idea of two intelligent people, living under the same roof as we do, occasionally exchanging a remark?
20:38You know, we share some of the same tastes.
20:43But, like you, I am intensely fond of Venice.
20:48Oh, I'm not in the least bit fond of Venice.
20:52I should like to go far away from it.
20:54You don't like Venice?
20:57And you wish to go far away from it when you won't even go to Piazza San Marco?
21:03Has your aunt always held you back so?
21:05No.
21:06She's the one that told me to come out today.
21:09It was I that didn't want to come.
21:10I didn't want to leave her.
21:12Is she unwell?
21:15She hasn't been very well recently.
21:18Sometimes she's so emotionless that I fear she's dead.
21:22But she insists on getting up every morning.
21:26She clings to her old habits as if it would keep her steady.
21:30She makes the point of sitting in the parlor as if she was expecting a visitor.
21:35She used to receive visitors then.
21:37Oh, yes.
21:39When we first came to Venice, we had a brilliant life.
21:44We visited all the palazzi, the churches, the galleries.
21:50Who did you know?
21:51Oh, so many.
21:53And nice ones.
21:55The Cavaliere Bonvici and the Contessa Altemura.
21:59We had a very great friendship with her.
22:02The Chilterns, the Goldies.
22:05And Mrs. Stuggs.
22:07I loved her so much.
22:10She's gone now, as are most people from that circle.
22:14It's getting late now.
22:20You really have to go.
22:22Yes.
22:23I must.
22:25When shall I see you again?
22:26I would like to come out tomorrow night, but...
22:30I'm so far from doing what I'd like.
22:33You might do something I like.
22:34I don't believe you.
22:39Why?
22:40Why don't you believe me?
22:42I don't know.
22:43I suppose it's because I don't understand you.
22:46That is just the sort of occasion to have faith.
22:51Have faith in me.
22:52I don't know.
23:22You've arrived.
23:26Just in time to meet the most mysterious man I know, Mr. Morton Vint.
23:32Good morning, ladies.
23:33Valentina, you look lovely.
23:35And Emily, you look like a flower in bloom.
23:37May I tell it to Mother?
23:40Well, don't mind Mr. Vint.
23:41He's well-practiced in keeping secrets.
23:44Emily is to be married.
23:45How can this be?
23:46The last time I saw you, you were with the nuns.
23:49I often wonder if the nuns shouldn't have kept her a few years more.
23:53And who might this man be that has broken you from the shackles of the convent?
23:57It's Lord Fullerton.
23:58Mother chose him for me.
24:00It's just like your mother to have such ideas.
24:03Elizabeth.
24:03Well, Adriana, you look stunning.
24:10You two must have many more secrets to exchange.
24:12And Morton has some things he'd like to share with me.
24:15And I can see he's getting quite impatient to do so.
24:19He's lodging with the Mrs. Bordereau.
24:22I haven't heard that name for years.
24:24How is the niece?
24:25How do you like her?
24:27Morton, do tell.
24:28What news, if any, of your dear Miss Tina?
24:31His interest in some papers has become quite a fixed idea.
24:34What papers of value could they possibly have?
24:37That is what I'm trying to find out.
24:39I mean, these two are from another age.
24:41Yes, their manner has very little to do with ours.
24:44So, what more have you learned from her?
24:47I've learned that her mind is essentially vague about dates
24:51and the order in which events occurred.
24:53Her story doesn't quite hang together.
24:56I've even asked myself if she's trying to lay a trap for me.
24:59To make you show your hand, you mean?
25:02Mm-hmm.
25:02I mean, perhaps she doesn't even know of the existence of these papers.
25:09I wrote to her.
25:11You never told me that.
25:13Six months before I arrived.
25:15Did she answer?
25:16Yes, to the second letter.
25:20She answered in six lines.
25:22And what did she say?
25:24Miss Bordereau requested that she had none of Mr. Asperin's papers.
25:29And even if she did, she would not think of showing them to anybody
25:32on any account whatsoever.
25:34Maybe after all this, they don't have any of his things.
25:38If they so flatly deny it, how can you be sure?
25:41I am sure.
25:43On what evidence?
25:45Her calling him Mr. Asperin.
25:47I don't see what that proves.
25:49It proves familiarity.
25:51And familiarity implies possession of mementos.
25:55You don't say Mr. Byron or Mr. Shakespeare, do you?
26:00Would I anymore if I had a box full of his love letters?
26:03Yes, if you had been his lover
26:06and someone wanted them.
26:14It was part of my idea that there had been another love affair,
26:19broken by some tragic rupture.
26:22or some tragic rupture.
26:36For some of you,
26:39I would not have more of a wyấn,
26:40but I don't think we should be at her first ever.
26:41And I think it was really good.
26:42I thought you wouldn't come.
27:04I wanted to tell you that
27:05I shall like the flowers better.
27:09Now that I know they're also for me.
27:13How could you have doubted it?
27:16Shall I send up a double lot of them
27:18to prove it to you?
27:19Don't go to the trouble that
27:21idea's enough.
27:27Do you study at night?
27:29When you go up to your room,
27:31do you read and write?
27:33Not at night.
27:35The lamplight brings in the insects.
27:39In winter, do you work at night?
27:43Yes, I do.
27:45I read a great deal,
27:46but I usually don't write.
27:49Before I go to sleep,
27:50I usually read some great poet.
27:53Nine out of ten times,
27:54it's a volume by...
27:56Geoffrey Asper.
28:00Oh.
28:02We read him.
28:04We have read him.
28:05He is my poet of poets.
28:08I know him almost by heart.
28:10By heart?
28:11Oh, that's nothing.
28:13My aunt used to know him.
28:15As a visitor?
28:17Yes.
28:18He used to come here
28:19and take her out.
28:22But he died a hundred years ago.
28:25That's nothing.
28:26My aunt's a hundred and fifty.
28:27Why have you not told me this before?
28:32I should like to speak to her about him.
28:35You should have come twenty years ago then.
28:38She still spoke about him.
28:40And what did she say?
28:42She said, uh,
28:44that
28:44he liked her immensely.
28:47And she didn't like him?
28:51She said he was a god.
28:52Has she got a portrait of him?
29:01It would be
29:02a true find.
29:03They are very rare.
29:05Tell me this,
29:07please.
29:08A portrait?
29:11I've never seen one.
29:12Surely you would know
29:13if she had a portrait of the god.
29:15I don't know what she has.
29:17She keeps her things locked up.
29:19Then she cannot have one.
29:22She wouldn't keep it locked up.
29:24She would hang it
29:25in a place of prominence
29:26in her parlor.
29:28Any admirer of Asperm
29:30would do the same.
29:30I would do so myself.
29:32I would be only too glad
29:33to work under his gaze.
29:35I would be encouraged
29:37by his presence.
29:39When dejected,
29:39I would console myself
29:40with his example.
29:41His example?
29:44Do you write about him?
29:47Do I write?
29:48Oh, please.
29:50Let us not discuss my writing
29:51when we talk about
29:52Jeffrey Asperm.
29:53Do you pry into his life?
29:57Now I seem to hear
29:58your aunt's voice again.
30:00It's not like you
30:01to use such terms.
30:03Do I pry into his life?
30:05Then all the more reason
30:06that you should answer plainly.
30:08Tell me,
30:10are you prying into his life?
30:12Yes.
30:14I write about him.
30:15I have written about him
30:17and I will write about him again.
30:20Please tell me,
30:22does your aunt have any poems,
30:25letters, papers,
30:26unpublished documents,
30:27anything belonging
30:28to Jeffrey Asperm?
30:29That is him.
30:38Do you find him handsome?
30:39I don't know.
30:41This seems strange.
30:46I know who I would rather have
30:47as my husband.
30:48You like him that much.
30:51What might you ladies
30:52be laughing about?
30:54Would you mind sharing it with us?
30:58Morton,
30:59whatever is happening?
31:00You look like a madman.
31:01Five days I've been sitting
31:06in that garden
31:07waiting for her.
31:08Sending flowers up
31:09by the bushel
31:09and nothing.
31:11What am I to do?
31:12I can't exactly
31:13break into her room.
31:15Well, you might have to
31:15come up with something new then
31:17to trigger a reaction.
31:19And what would make you react?
31:22As a woman.
31:23As a woman?
31:24I don't think
31:28Miss Tina is quite a woman,
31:30but Miss Bordereau
31:31definitely is.
31:33Ladies,
31:34what would you say?
31:35Send her flowers
31:36every day?
31:37I would like that very much.
31:39I do so love flowers.
31:42Tell the gardener
31:42to stock the flowers.
31:54I sent for you
32:11because my aunt
32:13would like to see you.
32:14Really?
32:16And what's made her
32:17change her mind
32:17so suddenly?
32:21Perhaps because
32:22she is so old?
32:24People often
32:26become capricious
32:27when they get so old.
32:29This is certainly true.
32:30However,
32:33have you repeated to her
32:34what I told you
32:35the other night?
32:36If I had told her
32:37what you said,
32:39do you think
32:40that she'd want
32:40to see you?
32:54Miss Bordereau,
32:57it's a great pleasure
32:59for me to see you
33:00again at last.
33:01I trust you're in good health,
33:03despite the hot weather.
33:05I'm always cold.
33:06The hot weather
33:07makes no difference.
33:09But my health
33:10is good enough,
33:11good enough.
33:13It's a great thing
33:14to be alive.
33:15It depends on what
33:16you compare it with.
33:17I don't compare.
33:19If I did that,
33:20I should have
33:21given up living
33:23long ago.
33:28About the flowers,
33:31I ought to have
33:33thanked you before.
33:34but
33:36I don't write letters.
33:41I'm delighted
33:41you enjoyed them.
33:43I shall send
33:44some more this evening.
33:45What else
33:46should you do with them?
33:49It's not a manly taste
33:50to make a bower
33:52of your room.
33:53Why don't you come
33:54into the garden yourself?
33:56You can pick
33:57what flowers you like.
33:59Wouldn't it do you good
33:59to sit in the shade,
34:01in the sweet air?
34:04Ah, my dear sir.
34:14If I move from this,
34:16it won't be
34:17to sit outside.
34:19And any air
34:20that may be
34:21stirring around me
34:22won't be
34:23particularly sweet.
34:28It will be
34:29a very dark shade,
34:31indeed.
34:31I'm not afraid
34:35of what lies ahead.
34:37But it will not
34:37be soon,
34:39I suppose.
34:44Why don't you
34:45make her go out?
34:48Aunt, please.
34:50Do you pity her?
34:53Do you teach her
34:54to pity herself?
34:55She has a much
34:57easier life
34:59than I did
34:59when I was her age.
35:01Miss Bordereau,
35:03what you say
35:04seems to me perhaps
35:05a little unkind.
35:08Unkind?
35:10Or perhaps
35:11you mean
35:11inhuman.
35:13That's what the poets
35:14used to call women
35:15a hundred years ago.
35:19Inhuman.
35:20Don't try to
35:22imitate them.
35:24You could never
35:25do as well.
35:29There is no more
35:30poetry in the world.
35:33At least,
35:34not around me.
35:37But I won't
35:38bandy words with you.
35:39Well then,
35:41I won't impose
35:42any longer
35:43upon your kindness.
35:44Kindness?
35:45I don't have to be
35:46kind to you,
35:47or I don't have to be
35:47kind to anyone anymore.
35:50Thank God.
35:52Sid!
35:55Why don't you
35:56make that girl
35:57go out
35:58and see the place?
35:59Dear aunt,
36:00what do you want
36:01to do with me?
36:02I know the place.
36:04He can show you
36:05the famous sunsets
36:07if they go on.
36:10Do they still go on?
36:14Take her
36:14to San Giovanni Evangelista.
36:18Take her to the piazza.
36:19She was so pleasant
36:20in my time.
36:22Let her listen
36:23to the music.
36:25Let her look
36:25at the shops.
36:29She can have
36:30some money.
36:32She may buy
36:33something she likes.
36:36I would be honoured
36:46to accompany
36:47Miss Tina.
36:48And if she'd rather
36:49go alone,
36:50my gondolier
36:51is entirely
36:52at her service.
36:54Shall I have the pleasure
36:55of seeing you again soon?
36:57Is it very necessary
36:58to your happiness?
36:59It diverts me
37:01more than I can say.
37:02You are full
37:04of flattery.
37:06Don't you know
37:06this talk
37:07almost kills me?
37:09Now,
37:10how can that be
37:11when you are
37:12more animated,
37:14more brilliant
37:15than when I first
37:17came in?
37:18It's quite true,
37:19aunt.
37:19I think it does
37:21you good.
37:22Isn't it touching
37:23the solicitude
37:24we each have
37:25that the other
37:25may enjoy
37:27herself?
37:28If you think
37:29me brilliant
37:30today,
37:31then you have
37:31never met
37:33an agreeable woman.
37:35Don't try
37:36to pay me
37:36any compliments.
37:38I've been spoiled
37:39in this respect.
37:40Are you all right?
38:09it was a splendid
38:18afternoon.
38:20I saw that she
38:21enjoyed it
38:21even more
38:22than she showed.
38:23She was agitated
38:25with the multitude
38:25of her impressions.
38:27It was so...
38:28She had forgotten
38:29what an attractive
38:31thing the world is.
38:32And it was
38:34coming over her
38:34that somehow
38:36she had,
38:36for the best years
38:37of her life,
38:38been cheated
38:39of it.
38:41This did not
38:42make her angry,
38:43but her face
38:44had,
38:44in spite of its
38:45smile of appreciation,
38:47the flesh
38:48of a sort of
38:50wounded surprise,
38:52as if she were
38:54thinking with
38:54a secret sadness
38:55of opportunities
38:57forever lost.
38:59I found out
39:00what's the matter
39:01with my aunt.
39:03She's afraid
39:04that you'll go.
39:07I suppose
39:07you mean
39:08because of the rent.
39:09Oh, yes.
39:09It is shameful,
39:10but she wants
39:12me to have more.
39:14How much
39:14does she want
39:15you to have?
39:16She ought to
39:17fix the sum.
39:18Then I could stay
39:19till it's all gone.
39:19No,
39:20that wouldn't
39:21please me,
39:23me of going
39:23to all that
39:24trouble.
39:27The other day,
39:28I seemed to
39:30understand you
39:31might help me
39:31with my search.
39:33Was I wrong?
39:35I, uh,
39:35I couldn't do that
39:37without being
39:38false to my aunt.
39:40You'd never
39:41consent to
39:41what you want.
39:44She'd been
39:44asked before.
39:45So she does
39:48have documents.
39:50Papers of value.
39:53She has
39:54everything.
39:56She has
39:57everything.
40:03There clung
40:04to her name
40:05some scent
40:05of a reckless
40:06passion.
40:08An intimation
40:09that,
40:09for some people,
40:11Juliana hadn't
40:12always acted
40:13respectably.
40:15For some people,
40:16if you want
40:17to explain
40:17how to
40:18be
40:18or
40:18or
40:20can
40:33feel
40:33with
40:34others.
40:35She has
40:37all
40:38as
40:38of
40:39as
40:39a
40:40person
40:41who
40:42sees
40:42her
