00:00Oh, my dear, what is it?
00:13It seems wrong.
00:16Wrong? All we've done is to fall in love. There's nothing wrong in that. You should
00:25be glad.
00:26Oh, Gregor.
00:27It's not about her being dead, but about our being free.
00:34Don't tell me you're afraid of Edwina's window.
00:37Sounds as if she's laughing at us. Oh, Gregor, I still feel she's sitting in that chair of
00:42hers looking up at me. Do you remember?
00:45Do I not? And I remember, too, while she was lying up there, how she'd knock on the floor
00:53with her stick to call either of us. But that's all over now. And so is that.
01:01Gregory! Oh, no. Don't.
01:05What are you afraid of?
01:08I don't know. Something in this room. In this house. Something evil. She's still here.
01:18Nonsense, darling.
01:20Don't you believe that people leave something behind them when they die? Some people.
01:26No, no, of course not. Let's go out into the garden.
01:31Oh, yes. There's nothing of her there.
01:35There's nothing of her anywhere.
