Twins Of Evil Page #4

I am not a peasant,

and I acknowledge only one Lord.

Both my nieces will be instructed

never to speak to you again.

Haven't you got us

into enough trouble?

No supper and early to bed.

Is that all you ever think about?

Yourself?

Don't be so greedy.

But if anyone comes and finds you gone,

there will be a terrible scene.

No one is going to notice, stupid.

I don't know

what you're complaining about.

All you have to do is go to sleep.

I'm not asking you to come with me.

- I wouldn't dare.

- I know you wouldn't.

You are scared of your own shadow

and terrified of dear Uncle Gustav.

- Yes, I am.

- Well, I'm not.

I don't care if he does find me gone.

The count will protect me.

Frieda, I beg you,

think about what you're doing.

Everyone says he's a wicked man.

What about it?

Who wants to be good

if being good is singing hymns

and praying all day long?

He's doing what's best for us, I'm sure.

It might be best for you.

It's not for me.

I'm going, and you might as well

stop arguing about it.

And I warn you,

if you dare tell on me...

Frieda, you know I wouldn't do that.

I'm just telling you

you know what'll happen if you do.

Stop it, you're hurting me!

Not half as much as I will

if you don't keep quiet.

They're all in bed now.

No one will notice.

And don't lie awake

waiting for me.

And don't worry!

I shan't be long.

Frieda, I beg you, don't go.

I've warned you once.

You know what I'll do to you

if you make any trouble, don't you?

Don't you?

To Satan.

Dietrich...

you're not amusing us tonight.

What's wrong?

It is nothing, my lord.

It must be something.

Don't make a secret of it.

Tell us.

Perhaps a little later, my lord.

In private.

It is a personal matter.

A young lady, I'm sure.

What is it?

Did she run away from you?

She disappeared a few nights ago.

- I do not know what happened.

- Disappeared?

Then it must have been

your magicians.

Perhaps their spells really did work.

Her parents blame me.

You must have

a very bad reputation, Dietrich.

They are threatening

to report to the authorities.

They had better not do that, Dietrich.

It might be very bad for you.

You must pay them.

All peasants are insatiably greedy.

Aren't they, my dear?

Come!

No more of your love life, Dietrich.

It's too boring.

Joachim, more wine.

Really...

everyone's so dull this evening.

Gerta, you're worse than Dietrich.

If it is your pleasure, my lord,

I'll go.

No, it is not my pleasure.

You'll stay.

I want to know

what you think of Frieda.

Don't you think she's beautiful?

She's all right.

That's not a very

handsome compliment.

You're not jealous, I hope.

I am a simple peasant girl,
