Episode 2
Now tell us
about your love affairs.
How silly you are!
Don't listen to her,
prince.
They must have something
in their minds,
But they like you.
- l know their faces.
- l know their faces, too.
- How so?
-What do you know about them?
l'll tell you afterwards.
lf you can read faces,
you must have been in love?
Tell us.
No, l haven't been.
- l was happy in another way.
- How?
There were children there.
l was with children.
They were from the village.
l passed 4 years among them.
But l wished
for nothing better.
Children soothe and heal
the wounded heart.
But the children did not
love me at first.
They used to laugh at me,
and throw stones at me.
But when they saw me
kiss Marie,
l only kissed her
once in my life.
Don't laugh!
lt was not a matter of love.
l just had pity for her.
She was consumptive.
A French commercial
traveler seduced her.
And everyone in the village
despised her.
l explained to the children
that's this was not good.
When l came in here
and saw your kind faces,
My heart felt
light...
for the first time.
l know it's a shame
to talk about these things.
Yet am l talking to you,
and l am not ashamed.
You asked me
about your faces.
What l could read in them.
l will tell you.
You, Adelaida lvanovna,
have a very happy face.
''One can think: ''''She has
the face of a kind sister''''.''
You too, Alexandra lvanovna,
have a very lovely face,
but l think you may have
some secret sorrow.
As for your face,
Lizabetha Prokofievna,
l not only think,
but am perfectly sure,
that you are an absolute
child.
a child in all,
both good and bad.
So, we examined you.
Bravo, prince.
What you said about my face
is absolutely correct.
l am a child, and know it.
l think your nature and mine
must be extremely alike.
Like two drops of water.
Only you are a man
and l am a woman.
l've not been to Switzerland.
Why you haven't told us
anything about Aglaya?
l can't say at present.
l'll tell you afterwards.
- Herface is clear enough.
- Of course, it is.
You are very beautiful!
You are so beautiful, that
l'm scared to look at you.
ls that all? And qualities?
lt is difficult to judge.
Beauty is a riddle.
You have set Aglaya a riddle.
Guess it, Aglaya!
- But she's pretty?
- Most wonderfully so.
Almost as lovely as
Nastasia Philipovna.
But quite a
