from here; where there is no castle, no Klamm, no assistants,
just you and me.
Where to? Where to?
What for?
I've come here to stay long.
I...
Barnabas!
What do you want?
I thought perhaps I could help you.
Help? How?
I don't know.
Another helper!
Come here.
What's your name?
Hans.
What do you want to be, Hans?
I want to be like mister land surveyor.
[become a] land surveyor?
No.
Caretaker?
No. I want to be LIKE mister land surveyor.
What is your father doing?
Wheels for music boxes.
His wheels are the best in the neighborhood.
Wheels my father made is used in all music boxes, even in the castle.
So you are Brunsvick?
Was it you whom I saw by the window?
Yes.
Also, I was at the canteen yesterday with my father
and saw you refusing the interrogation.
How is madam Brunsvick?
Good. She has asked about you two times already.
Listen, Hans, you wanted to help me, didn't you?
But you're still little and can't help me
but your mom can.
I know. When father's in trouble he always asks mother and she goes to the castle.
I need to see your mom very much.
No. My mom must not be disturbed.
And father will never allow you.
But we will do it the way he will never know.
But that's not fair!
Why? We won't be doing anything bad.
You will just say your mom I want to talk with her.
And then you will tell me when your dad's not at home.
As a reward I will teach you to fight with sticks.
Really?
Yes. And I will give you glass button. Want it?
I do.
Well, run, I will be waiting for you in the evening.
Just don't say anything to your dad.
Have you got sticks?
I will make them.
What's your mom's name?
Milena Brunsvick.
Well, I'm going...having a walk.
You won't be going to them?
To them? No, what for? Barnabas is bound to come.
I'll just walk, have some air.
Has Barnabas returned?
Lie down, mom. That's land surveyor.
Has Barnabas returned?
Not yet. Have a seat.
Olga will come out now. She's in the bathing closet.
You know...I...have to run...
fiancee is waiting for me at the school.
Oh so!
Hello, mister land surveyor.We thought you wouldn't come.
Come through.
Land surveyor is in hurry, he must go to his fiancee.
Yes, you know, fiancee is waiting for me.
I just came to see if Barnabas has returned.
You'd better come by sometime.
Thank you. We will definitely visit you tomorrow.
You know...it was a rash invitation
and I must withdraw it
because there is some hostility between you and Fieda.
Hostility?
There is no hostility. Simply, Amalia refuset do be Vallabne's mistress.
Vallabne?
Vallabne. That's very important clerk from the castle,
more infliential than Klamm.
Haven't Frieda told you?
No.
It happened three years ago when Frieda was transferred to the canteen.
Our father was one of the most prominent men in the village,
he was making wheels for the music boxes for the castle
and Brunsvick was a worker of his.
We, his daughters, were very visible and didn't pay attention to the likes of Frieda.
And mrs. inkeeper was very fond with our friendship.
Once she gave Amalia ruby beads which fitted her well.
Look, these ones.
Vallabne never stayed in the village but that day he saw Amalia
through carriage window.
Next day courier came with a letter addressed to
girl with ruby beads.
Letter was written in dirty expressions.
It demanded Amalia to go immediately to room number five at Gentlemen's Inn
to perform various obscenities with him.
Amalia ripped up the letter and threw it in courier's face.
Barmaid Frieda got to know this right away
and spread these news throughout the village.
And she pointedly put Amalia in bad light.
Why?
Because of wickedness. She had the same story with Klamm,
only it ended differently.
Don't dare to talk like that about my fiancee!
She loved Klamm.
Forgive me, I didn't want to offend madam Frieda, forgive me.
Is that all?
No.
Brunsvick came the next day and told he was opening his workshop.
He began receiving all orders.
