The Men in Her Life Page #2

And one, and two, and...

What are you looking at?

Horses! Some beautiful horses.

- You left your horses in the circus.

Or, but..

- Back to the bar!

Why do you keep me working like a horse?

I've been at that bar for two hours!

I can't stand up any more!

Have you finished your little speech?..

All right, we'll start again.

Back to the bar...

Come on back to the bar!

Mr Rosin! - How many times

must I ask you not to interrupt our lessons.

But monsieur, it is Manilov!

Serghei Manilov!

(Rus) -Where are you coming form

(Rus) -On my way from Paris

(Rus) -Thank you. How's the life in St.Petersburg?

(Rus) -But aren't you coming back?

Oh, forgive me! Mr Rosing.

Roger Chevis, my riding companion.

How do you do.

- We are at a hotel in the mountains.

Good! Want to come in, have some tea.

What is there?

Oh, I'm sorry, but Mr Rosing doesn't allow

anybody to watch the lessons.

Continue, Lina. Turn to the bar.

It looks silly!

- May look silly, but I'll wage, if you can do it

Can't I?

- No!

Now, go ahead!

Just a minute.

That's pretty good, but look at your knee,

straighten it out.

What's the matter with my knee?

- It looks like a door knob. Doesn't it, Marie?

It does.

Would you like to go for a ride?

- On a horse?.. - Mhh

Oh, come on!..

- No, I couldn't

I accepted your wage, now you take mine.

Don't you dare!

Yes, I will, come on!

- Lina, stop it!

Lina, come back!

Where are you?

- Way behind.

You certainly were.

You need not even a breath!

- Because I'm a good girl, do exercises every day.

The water looks wonderful. - It does.

You know, Mr Rosing doesn't allow

me to drink while I'm exercising.

Where did you learn to ride like that?

- In a circus

In a circus?

- Yes, I rode a horse standing up.

Really? - Yes. That was before I came

to Mr Rosing.

It's lovely here, isn't it?

Have you been here before?

- No, never.

Have you ever gone out?

- Marie and I go walking in the garden every day.

What do you do all the time?

- Practice.

Is that all?

- Aha!

But don't you ever do anything else?

- No!

You are practically a prisoner in that house.

- Oh no, I want to be there.

Mr Rosing is the world's greatest teacher.

How long do you have to keep that up?

-All my life.

And never go anywhere, never see anyone?

- I guess, not.

I've never heard of anyone

who would choose such a life.

I hate too, but... I think, we better go back now.

Mr Rosing will be worried.

No, there is still a thousand of things

I want to know about you. Please!

What else? Where shall I begin, the circus?

- No, go back as far as you can remember.

All right... Let me see... I was born.

My name is Lina Varsavina.
