Where Angels Fear to Tread Page #5

do not go around alone.

I'm older than you and do what I want.

I'm your man.

And I have the money.

Think about how you behave,

otherwise I will stop...

What happened?

What was it that broke?

Perfetta. What happened?

What did you say to him?

- I said nothing.

Nothing...

Wait a moment...

Do you want a ride?

- No.

Yes, I want to post.

I will.

Stay....

Are you blind and deaf, stupid woman?

I know nothing. Do not blame me.

Jumped her from the loggia? The roof?

- Let me be.

So you look. Quite dusty.

You are a crazy English woman.

As your hair looks.

As your husband I forbid you

to go out. The woman must obey.

There is no marriage

if the man is permanently gone.

If you wanted an obedient woman

sitting at home you would have chosen it.

But you married me...

...Because I'm rich.

As they laugh at me

when you are with your other woman?

What do you say?

You're not particularly crafty, Gino,

not even clever enough to deceive me.

Are you laughing?

- I can't help it, I thought you knew nothing.

I give in.

Let's neverspeak of this again.

I am as miserable now as I

have ever been in my life.

' Irma, darling Irma.

this letter is for you.'

'It will make you unhappy, but

I want you to know everything.

And you cannot learn things too soon '

'God bless you, my dear,

and God bless your miserable mother.'

How terrible.

- It was inevitableit would end like this.

A lack of resources has always

been Lilia's shortcoming.

She did'nt like music,

she didn't like reading...

...and she certainly did'nt like work.

What can she do but be miserable.

Poor Lilia. - There's one consolation,

that I seized the letter when I did.

Another moment and Irma's childhood

could have been destroyed forever.

My love, my dearest Lilia. Be calm.

I have never loved anyone but you.

We light candles every day

to Santa Deodata.

With my family, that is many candles.

I have prayed all night for a boy.

You're a boy yourself, Gino.

- Then we shall be brothers.

Wake up.

Wake up and join us. He was born.

It's a beautiful boy.

Grazie. Thank you.

Congratulations. What a handsome father.

What a wonderful family.

He is wonderful.

No....

Are we to go into mourning?

- Yes. After all she suffered.

And we must tell Irma.

Of course, we must tell Irma.

But I think we can still not

tell her about Lilias marriage.

Little girls of nine don't reason very clearly,

and she looks on it as a long visit.

It is important, very important,

that she should not receive a shock.

A child's life depends on the

ideas it has of its parents.

Destroy that and everything goes

- morals, behaviour, everything.

I must say it's rather hard luck.
