## Transcript

[0:01] Speaker 2: chapter five roxana worked all morning but there was no
[0:05] Speaker 2: sign of the count gara truita prepared a live meal
[0:09] Speaker 2: for him around noon and then while most of the
[0:11] Speaker 2: people were resting because the sun was so intense roxana
[0:14] Speaker 2: returned to her detailed work for the first time she
[0:15] Speaker 2: could not concentrate as she usually did in fact every
[0:25] Speaker 2: nerve in her body was alert waiting for the sound
[0:27] Speaker 2: of a horse approaching and then listening to the footsteps
[0:30] Speaker 2: crossing the courtyard tagliate a pe tutte sus titi manaujard
[0:34] Speaker 2: but at the same time she had never worked better
[0:36] Speaker 2: because every mark and every notch of the cincinnati was
[0:40] Speaker 2: made with love por un largo tiempo permaneció contemplando el
[0:44] Speaker 2: tronco en el que había visto las figuras de un
[0:46] Speaker 2: hombre y una mujer abrazando tal vez fuera profético que
[0:48] Speaker 2: el tronco hubiera sido traído a ella en ese momento
[0:50] Speaker 2: en particular pero no no la claridad de su visión
[0:52] Speaker 2: fue debido a sus sensaciones profundas This was how she
[1:01] Speaker 2: and the Count had been the previous night with his
[1:04] Speaker 2: arms around her, his lips on hers, their bodies close
[1:05] Speaker 2: to each other, and their minds flooded with the light
[1:07] Speaker 2: coming from the sky. She would never have guessed that
[1:10] Speaker 2: love could be so beautiful. Then she thought that perhaps
[1:12] Speaker 2: she did know. Perhaps because the Count had loved her
[1:15] Speaker 2: in another life. That had given her an appreciation of
[1:24] Speaker 2: beauty and a seventh sense that told her that everything
[1:27] Speaker 2: was part of a universal love, something that very few
[1:28] Speaker 2: people seemed to perceive. Roxana had been convinced ever since
[1:30] Speaker 2: she arrived in Bali that the gods worshipped with such
[1:34] Speaker 2: fervor and devotion by the natives were in fact the
[1:36] Speaker 2: same as the god of the Christians, the Allah of
[1:38] Speaker 2: the Mohammedans, and the Buddha of the Buddhists. A how
[1:48] Speaker 2: foolish it was she often thought that men like her
[1:50] Speaker 2: uncle driven by an almost fanatical desire to spread their
[1:52] Speaker 2: faith would try to change people and remove what had
[1:54] Speaker 2: been so deeply in their consciousness for entire generations. All
[1:56] Speaker 2: religions that fought against evil had to be good and
[1:58] Speaker 2: it was the way people lived and acted that mattered,
[2:00] Speaker 2: not the creed. They had to pay lip service to
[2:01] Speaker 2: order half. raksana concluyó que todo lo que hicieron los
[2:17] Speaker 2: balanes como la cercanía de su vida familiar la amabilidad
[2:19] Speaker 2: que les dieron a los otros y que les reservaron
[2:21] Speaker 2: especialmente para los niños y los ancianos era un ejemplo
[2:23] Speaker 2: vivo era un ejemplo vivo de lo que debería ser
[2:24] Speaker 2: la religión They were much holier than they were. It
[2:33] Speaker 2: was said that the Dutch, with their social barriers and
[2:35] Speaker 2: their intolerance towards anyone who was not like them, she
[2:37] Speaker 2: had observed that the Dutch certainly did not possess the
[2:39] Speaker 2: secret of harmonious living. That day, however, she did not
[2:41] Speaker 2: want to think about anything negative, neither about the Dutch
[2:44] Speaker 2: who had looked down on her uncle, nor about the
[2:45] Speaker 2: Englishman Patrick Grenton who had married her mother. At that
[2:59] Speaker 2: moment her heart skipped a beat when she heard someone
[3:01] Speaker 2: enter the courtyard because she was so excited about the
[3:03] Speaker 2: thought of seeing the count again. But at the same
[3:05] Speaker 2: time she was a little embarrassed to remember the passion
[3:07] Speaker 2: they had shared when they kissed. She refrained from running
[3:08] Speaker 2: into his arms as she would have liked. She stood
[3:10] Speaker 2: with her back to him trying to continue her work
[3:11] Speaker 2: on the male torso. Then, with a sudden shudder, she
[3:24] Speaker 2: heard a voice. She had come to say, I figured
[3:26] Speaker 2: I'd find you working here, when everyone else was asleep.
[3:29] Speaker 2: She looked up and saw the governor, his imposing height
[3:31] Speaker 2: and his flushed face standing over her. She was so surprised,
[3:33] Speaker 2: having not expected him, that she could not move. I
[3:36] Speaker 2: want to talk to you, Roxana. About what? about her
[3:51] Speaker 2: request to stay in Bali, among other things. She knew
[3:55] Speaker 2: he was trying to scare her, which she had expected
[3:57] Speaker 2: him to do, but she was no longer afraid. Your visitor,
[4:02] Speaker 2: Count Van Haan thinks, my work is important, she said
[4:05] Speaker 2: quietly without looking at him. The decision will not depend
[4:09] Speaker 2: on the Count, who, as I understand it, will not
[4:11] Speaker 2: remain here long but on me. so i can only
[4:16] Speaker 2: beg your excellency to be generous it is that as
[4:20] Speaker 2: you well know is something i wish to be but
[4:23] Speaker 2: like all human beings i have a price there was
[4:25] Speaker 2: silence for a few moments I would not have the
[4:37] Speaker 2: time to do so if I wanted to continue carving.
[4:40] Speaker 2: I understand that well. And that is why I want
[4:42] Speaker 2: to make another suggestion. It is not proper for you
[4:45] Speaker 2: to live here alone with no more company than a servant,
[4:49] Speaker 2: said the governor after a moment. I have said that before,
[4:53] Speaker 2: but you would not listen to me. Now several of
[4:55] Speaker 2: my ministers have informed me that they feel something must
[4:57] Speaker 2: be done about you. As I am English, I do
[4:58] Speaker 2: not see why I should worry your ministers or anyone else,
[5:00] Speaker 2: replied Roxanne defiantly. It worries me. I think it is
[5:02] Speaker 2: quite improper for you to live in what is nothing
[5:04] Speaker 2: more than a native Valenbelen. It was good enough for
[5:19] Speaker 2: my uncles. I do not see why it should not
[5:21] Speaker 2: be good enough for me. Peter Helderich was a missionary,
[5:25] Speaker 2: replied the governor contemptuously. You, Roxanne, are quite different. I
[5:30] Speaker 2: am only a human being, with my tastes and my inclinations,
[5:33] Speaker 2: and I am quite happy here. What I am prepared
[5:37] Speaker 2: to offer you is a proper house, insisted the governor.
[5:40] Speaker 2: Pero lo vi menor. it was empty at the moment
[5:42] Speaker 2: because one of the officials who came from holland three
[5:44] Speaker 2: years ago had to go home roxanne said nothing she
[5:46] Speaker 2: knew who the governor was referring to it is a
[5:48] Speaker 2: very pleasant house he continued with all the western comforts
[5:51] Speaker 2: that a place like this lacks It is also within
[6:03] Speaker 2: the grounds of the government house. There was a note
[6:06] Speaker 2: in his voice that was impossible to miss. Now she
[6:10] Speaker 2: felt it was imperative that she challenge him. She rose
[6:13] Speaker 2: from the stool on which she had been sitting and asked,
[6:17] Speaker 2: raising her chin to the governor. Is that important? It
[6:22] Speaker 2: is to me, he replied. I am afraid I do
[6:25] Speaker 2: not understand what your excellency is saying. I have already
[6:28] Speaker 2: made it clear to you that I do not have
[6:30] Speaker 2: time to work with you. I think you know very
[6:33] Speaker 2: well what I am trying to say, he murmured in
[6:35] Speaker 2: a now familiar tone. I desire you, Roxana, and by
[6:39] Speaker 2: God I will possess you. She did not even blink,
[6:41] Speaker 2: although she felt as if she were facing a wild beast.
[6:45] Speaker 2: Your Excellency is married, she said in an icy calm voice.
[6:50] Speaker 2: Since you cannot offer me marriage, I cannot believe that
[6:53] Speaker 2: you would insult me by offering me anything else. I
[6:57] Speaker 2: will give you whatever you want, the governor said. Not
[7:00] Speaker 2: just a house, but money. Jewelry, ask me for whatever
[7:03] Speaker 2: you want. Do you really think I would degrade myself
[7:06] Speaker 2: by accepting such a position in your life or in
[7:09] Speaker 2: that of another man? What other alternative do you have?
[7:12] Speaker 2: To continue living like a peasant? To be ignored by
[7:15] Speaker 2: how many civilized people there are here? Are you suggesting
[7:19] Speaker 2: that your countrymen would accept me if I became your mistress?
[7:21] Speaker 2: In that case you would need no one but me,
[7:22] Speaker 2: the governor, retorted El Guadalajara. You must be crazy to
[7:24] Speaker 2: think that I would accept such a thing or that
[7:26] Speaker 2: you could mean anything in my life, Isidro. How do
[7:28] Speaker 2: I consider the suggestion you have made and the way
[7:30] Speaker 2: you have spoken to me a clear insult? I can
[7:31] Speaker 2: only beg you to leave my house. The governor made
[7:33] Speaker 2: a sound that was very much like a growl. You
[7:48] Speaker 2: should not treat me like this. If you do not
[7:50] Speaker 2: do what I want of your own free will, then
[7:51] Speaker 2: I will take other measures. You are threatening me, said Roxana,
[7:53] Speaker 2: and I do not like that. For God's sake, why
[7:54] Speaker 2: are we quarreling? The governor asked angrily. I do not
[7:56] Speaker 2: wish to threaten you. I am offering you everything any
[7:58] Speaker 2: woman could possibly want. You have offered me nothing. And
[8:00] Speaker 2: if you truly wish to do me a favor, leave
[8:02] Speaker 2: me alone. I have only to say one word and
[8:17] Speaker 2: you will have to leave the island. Then at least
[8:20] Speaker 2: she would not have to listen to his insults. She
[8:22] Speaker 2: looked at him defiantly and she could clearly see the
[8:24] Speaker 2: fury growing in the governor's expression. You must not speak
[8:26] Speaker 2: to me like that. He protested loudly. He took a
[8:28] Speaker 2: step towards her and raised the chisel in her hand
[8:30] Speaker 2: towards him and held it at shoulder level. It was
[8:32] Speaker 2: a thin pointed instrument that she used to perform the
[8:34] Speaker 2: most complicated parts of the work. It was as dangerous
[8:49] Speaker 2: as a dagger. The governor seemed to understand this and
[8:51] Speaker 2: although he moved closer to her, he did not touch her.
[8:53] Speaker 2: Would you dare to attack me? He asked after a
[8:54] Speaker 2: moment diet. If you touch me, I would not hesitate
[8:56] Speaker 2: to do so. And you know what would happen to
[8:58] Speaker 2: you afterwards? I do not know, but I am sure
[8:59] Speaker 2: that you are eager to threaten me with some terrible punishment.
[9:12] Speaker 2: Our prisons are not particularly comfortable places. I can easily
[9:14] Speaker 2: imagine that, Roxana replied with contempt. And once she serves
[9:16] Speaker 2: her sentence in prison, she will be deported to her country.
[9:18] Speaker 2: For the first time since she had been defying him,
[9:20] Speaker 2: Roxana thought of Carell while too late she realized that
[9:22] Speaker 2: she should have been conciliatory, should have tried to gain time.
[9:25] Speaker 2: She understood that he could sense that she was beginning
[9:27] Speaker 2: to falter at that moment. I see that you are
[9:42] Speaker 2: beginning to think a little more sensibly, the governor said
[9:46] Speaker 2: in a calmer tone. Decide between prison or a very
[9:50] Speaker 2: comfortable and pleasant life in the house I have chosen
[9:52] Speaker 2: for you. That is impossible. Completely impossible, Roxana. Roxana replied,
[9:56] Speaker 2: feeling that she should not even let him suppose that
[9:57] Speaker 2: she would accept his proposition. Eca. She lowered the hand
[9:59] Speaker 2: that held the chisel. I will not attack him, she said.
[10:01] Speaker 2: But I am still free to reject what he is
[10:02] Speaker 2: offering me. Do you intend to continue living here no
[10:05] Speaker 2: matter what I think? Yes. Then let me make it
[10:18] Speaker 2: quite clear that I will not allow you to do so,
[10:20] Speaker 2: said the governor. I desire you, Roxana, and you have
[10:23] Speaker 2: toyed with me for too long. I will send servants
[10:24] Speaker 2: and a carriage to collect you and your luggage tomorrow morning.
[10:27] Speaker 2: If you refuse to come, I may decide to use force.
[10:29] Speaker 2: How dare you order me around like a slave? said Roxiana,
[10:40] Speaker 2: losing her temper and stamping her foot lightly. I am English,
[10:42] Speaker 2: and if you try to behave in this manner towards me,
[10:44] Speaker 2: I will cause an international incident which you will undoubtedly regret.
[10:46] Speaker 2: To whom do you intend to appeal? asked the governor
[10:48] Speaker 2: with a nasty smile on his lips. The British consul
[10:49] Speaker 2: in Jakarta has assured you that no letter from you
[10:51] Speaker 2: will reach him. Or would you rather appeal to the
[10:52] Speaker 2: governor of Malaysia no matter what you say? You need
[11:10] Speaker 2: not waste your time sending a carriage for me or
[11:13] Speaker 2: preparing a house that I will not live in. I
[11:16] Speaker 2: would rather sleep on the floor than submit to your demands.
[11:21] Speaker 2: almost spat out these words and now the fury returned
[11:23] Speaker 2: to the governor's face although his eyes retained the same
[11:25] Speaker 2: lust that always shone in them when he looked at
[11:27] Speaker 2: her he unexpectedly stepped forward and before she had time
[11:29] Speaker 2: to raise the chisel again his arms had encircled her
[11:31] Speaker 2: and immobilized her she gave a soft cry she was
[11:32] Speaker 2: frightened by the overwhelming proximity and the violent aversion she
[11:35] Speaker 2: felt for him made her feel on the verge of
[11:36] Speaker 2: fainting Let go of me, she screamed. His arms tightened
[11:53] Speaker 2: around her and his mouth sought hers. Roxana turned her
[11:57] Speaker 2: head from side to side in desperation, gasping at the
[11:59] Speaker 2: horror of what was happening. It was impossible for her
[12:01] Speaker 2: to scream or do anything but try to struggle, although
[12:04] Speaker 2: she was helpless in his arms. Then suddenly a voice
[12:06] Speaker 2: from behind them said very calmly, So here you are,
[12:07] Speaker 2: Your Excellency. it seemed to me that it was your
[12:17] Speaker 2: carriage that i saw outside for roxana it was as
[12:21] Speaker 2: if an angel had descended from heaven to free her
[12:25] Speaker 2: her heart sank not only because she had been saved
[12:28] Speaker 2: but because the count was there there with a muttered
[12:32] Speaker 2: oath the governor released her and turned away The count
[12:36] Speaker 2: was standing a little further down the courtyard. The governor
[12:38] Speaker 2: turned to him a delicate expression on his flushed face
[12:40] Speaker 2: as the count continued in a casual, courteous tone. The
[12:43] Speaker 2: meeting you arranged for me ended sooner than I expected.
[12:45] Speaker 2: And since I have several questions to ask you, I
[12:47] Speaker 2: think it would be best if we returned together. For
[13:00] Speaker 2: a moment it seemed as if the governor was going
[13:02] Speaker 2: to say something abrupt and rude. He immediately seemed to
[13:06] Speaker 2: remember the importance of the count, his relationship with the
[13:10] Speaker 2: queen and his own position as governor. Besides, he hoped
[13:13] Speaker 2: that the count had not seen what was happening between
[13:14] Speaker 2: Roxana and the man with his back to the courtyard, Ochisititam.
[13:16] Speaker 2: With an obvious effort, he replied, yes. As you suggest,
[13:18] Speaker 2: it would be best if we return together, mina. Excellent,
[13:20] Speaker 2: the count exclaimed, mo. As the governor came down from
[13:31] Speaker 2: this study, the count pretended to see Roxana for the
[13:32] Speaker 2: first time and took off his hat. Good morning, Miss Barkley,
[13:34] Speaker 2: he exclaimed. I hope your work continues to progress despite
[13:37] Speaker 2: the heat. Roxana was unable to answer. She stared at
[13:39] Speaker 2: him with her enormous eyes, reflecting both the relief she
[13:41] Speaker 2: felt at his presence and her love for him. I
[13:43] Speaker 2: look forward to seeing how you progress another time, the
[13:45] Speaker 2: count continued. Now you will forgive me, but as you understand,
[14:01] Speaker 2: I have important matters to discuss with His Excellency, so
[14:04] Speaker 2: I will take you away. For a moment their eyes
[14:08] Speaker 2: met and Roxana Zlastana stepped up, without there being any
[14:12] Speaker 2: need for words, for him to understand how she felt.
[14:15] Speaker 2: The Count turned and walked beside the Governor, who was
[14:17] Speaker 2: already starting to cross the courtyard. Roxana escuchó como le
[14:22] Speaker 2: dio a la gobernadora sus comentarios sobre la reunión de
[14:24] Speaker 2: la mañana. Los dos hombres se fueron de la casa,
[14:26] Speaker 2: sus voces se cayeron mientras caminaban. Roxana se sentó en
[14:27] Speaker 2: su estufa de madera porque sus dedos no la apoyaban más.
[14:37] Speaker 2: This time she had been saved in time, but the
[14:39] Speaker 2: governor would not stop trying, and perhaps next time she
[14:42] Speaker 2: would not be so lucky. To clear her mind of
[14:43] Speaker 2: such dark thoughts, she headed towards the house and was
[14:46] Speaker 2: relieved to see that Jerry Ruida, who had been concentrating
[14:49] Speaker 2: on preparing the meal, had not noticed what had happened.
[14:58] Speaker 2: hablando felizmente de la forma en la que cocina el
[15:00] Speaker 2: pollo en esa ocasión guerrera rodra comenzó a servir la
[15:02] Speaker 2: comida a roxana y ella trató de tratar de responder
[15:04] Speaker 2: naturalmente a su comienzo however as soon as gertruda returned
[15:07] Speaker 2: to the kitchen roxana threw most of the food she
[15:09] Speaker 2: had served on her plate back into the bowl bese
[15:11] Speaker 2: to the bowl how could she eat he wondered when
[15:13] Speaker 2: she was facing so many difficulties Although she had the
[15:26] Speaker 2: count's protection, it was clear that the governor would continue
[15:28] Speaker 2: to bother her. She also had Carell to think about.
[15:29] Speaker 2: She had to take Carell to a safe place and
[15:32] Speaker 2: for the first time she wondered if the count might
[15:34] Speaker 2: not consider the child a nuisance. That thought alone terrified
[15:36] Speaker 2: her so much that Roxana felt the urgent need to
[15:37] Speaker 2: go to the forest right then and there to see
[15:39] Speaker 2: if Carell was alright. She would take him in her arms,
[15:51] Speaker 2: and perhaps with his mere proximity, she would find answers
[15:54] Speaker 2: to the questions that were hammering at her mind. Without
[15:58] Speaker 2: waiting for Gerwida to return, she ran to the kitchen
[16:01] Speaker 2: to find her. I'm going to see Karel, she said.
[16:04] Speaker 2: I won't be long. If the count comes to see me,
[16:07] Speaker 2: please ask him to wait for me. She saw Guiruida's
[16:11] Speaker 2: lips purse and wondered why she detested the count. What
[16:15] Speaker 2: he had or hadn't done in Holland was of no
[16:17] Speaker 2: interest to her. He'll change his mind when he gets
[16:19] Speaker 2: to know him better, Roxana thought to herself. She set
[16:23] Speaker 2: off for the forest, walking quickly, indifferent to the heat
[16:25] Speaker 2: and everything else because she needed to see Karel. Things
[16:32] Speaker 2: would be so much easier, she thought, if the child
[16:34] Speaker 2: could live with her and Gertrude, but it was too
[16:36] Speaker 2: dangerous to have him in the house when the governor
[16:39] Speaker 2: showed up unexpectedly so often. Unexpectedly. He can't be thinking
[17:04] Speaker 2: of anything else, she said to herself vehemently. He's not
[17:06] Speaker 2: the governor. What we feel for each other is sacred
[17:10] Speaker 2: and divine. It's part of the sacrament of marriage. She
[17:13] Speaker 2: almost flew along the winding, stony path that led to
[17:15] Speaker 2: Ida Akhtimshal's house. As she had expected, her master was
[17:17] Speaker 2: sitting outside on a raised platform in the ground surrounded
[17:19] Speaker 2: by his craftsmen. Each of them held a piece of
[17:21] Speaker 2: wood in their feet, carving. With the skill and speed
[17:23] Speaker 2: characteristic of Balinese carvers, Alonso Radincourt ana timu le había
[17:39] Speaker 2: dicho a roxana cuando le había pedido que le enseñara
[17:41] Speaker 2: que cuando un hombre carva su alma pasa en el
[17:42] Speaker 2: árbol y que no se necesita un modelo y que
[17:44] Speaker 2: no se necesita un modelo hoy dantamu estaba trabajando en
[17:47] Speaker 2: una mascarilla era un hombre hermoso viejo with a batilla
[17:55] Speaker 2: cap over his gray hair amoye when roxana arrived and
[17:59] Speaker 2: looked up at her with a smiling expression his mouth
[18:03] Speaker 2: like those of all the men who worked with him
[18:06] Speaker 2: was muck was painted dark with beetle but there was
[18:09] Speaker 2: no doubt that his kind smile was one of welcome
[18:14] Speaker 2: roxana le gritó y con todo el courtesy por que
[18:16] Speaker 2: es rudo hurir en bali admiraba la mascarilla que estaba
[18:18] Speaker 2: cargando de luz suave de plalo y rosado wood wood
[18:19] Speaker 2: ella se inquirió sobre la salud de su esposa y
[18:21] Speaker 2: sus hijos luego una vez que se le habían encontrado
[18:23] Speaker 2: las demandas de etiqueta roxana pudo pasar por detrás del
[18:26] Speaker 2: ballet donde estaban los hombres trabajando y entrar en el
[18:29] Speaker 2: jardín de color dorado detrás de él donde era supuesto
[18:31] Speaker 2: que Karel estuviera con los otros hijos When she found him,
[18:43] Speaker 2: he was asleep, lying in the shade of a tree.
[18:44] Speaker 2: In his nakedness, he looked more like a little cupid
[18:46] Speaker 2: than ever. He knelt down beside him and he seemed
[18:48] Speaker 2: more beautiful and sweeter than ever. With his pale eyelashes
[18:50] Speaker 2: barely shadowing his pink cheeks, she could not resist the
[18:53] Speaker 2: temptation to touch him. She lifted him carefully in her
[18:54] Speaker 2: arms and, sitting cross-legged like the Balinese woman, pressed him
[18:56] Speaker 2: to her chest. The child stirred for a moment, put
[19:15] Speaker 2: his thumb in his mouth and fell asleep again. There
[19:19] Speaker 2: was something in the child's warm, comforting happiness that made
[19:21] Speaker 2: Roxana want to cry. She had to protect him. care
[19:26] Speaker 2: of him and take him to england as soon as
[19:29] Speaker 2: possible she had already decided who would adopt him her
[19:33] Speaker 2: mother and aunt agnes had a much younger sister who
[19:36] Speaker 2: had never had a child she had fallen from her
[19:40] Speaker 2: horse while hunting shortly after their marriage and had nearly
[19:43] Speaker 2: die died she had survived but the doctors had told
[19:46] Speaker 2: her that there was no chance she would ever have
[19:48] Speaker 2: a child Afortunadamente, ella se casó con un hombre de
[19:54] Speaker 2: comprensión que la amaba demasiado para dejar que suene su matrimonio.
[19:56] Speaker 2: Noxana estaba segura de que su tía Nancy sería feliz
[19:58] Speaker 2: de tener un novio y le amaría tanto como su
[20:00] Speaker 2: madre lo había tenido. Pero Inglaterra estaba lejos y estaban
[20:03] Speaker 2: en un mundo extraño y hostil, excepto por la familia
[20:04] Speaker 2: Balinese que estaba protegiendo a Carell y a... course the
[20:18] Speaker 2: count he will understand i know he will understand roxana
[20:22] Speaker 2: told herself and yet insidiously doubt began to creep into
[20:25] Speaker 2: her mind despite all her resolutions not to doubt the
[20:27] Speaker 2: count's love she could not help wondering if he really
[20:29] Speaker 2: was planning to marry her o no Roxana había vivido
[20:38] Speaker 2: en Ámsterdam mucho tiempo para entender que el protocolo social
[20:43] Speaker 2: era casi sagrado, tanto para los miembros de la Corte
[20:46] Speaker 2: como para los hamburgueses alemanes. The count stood very near
[20:50] Speaker 2: the tip of the pyramid that rose toward the queen. Why,
[20:52] Speaker 2: and could she really expect him a relative of the queen,
[20:54] Speaker 2: an extremely wealthy man and undoubtedly the most eligible bachelor
[20:56] Speaker 2: in his country to be willing, no matter how perfect
[20:57] Speaker 2: his love might be, to marry a girl about whom
[20:58] Speaker 2: he knew nothing except that she was the niece-in-law of
[21:00] Speaker 2: a missionary. ¿Ele? It seemed as if an icy hand
[21:02] Speaker 2: was pressing down on Roxana's heart. At the same time,
[21:19] Speaker 2: a certain pride of blood made her swear that she
[21:22] Speaker 2: would not tell him who her parents were until he
[21:24] Speaker 2: had accepted her for herself alone. How could I doubt him?
[21:30] Speaker 2: She wondered, but she knew that like the serpent in
[21:32] Speaker 2: the Garden of Eden, doubt remained in the back of
[21:35] Speaker 2: her mind. She leaned against the trunk of the tree
[21:39] Speaker 2: that provided them with shade and contemplated for a few
[21:41] Speaker 2: moments the children who were still playing nearby. several others
[21:46] Speaker 2: karel's age had fallen asleep on the floor like him
[21:50] Speaker 2: e m there were no more beautiful children in the
[21:52] Speaker 2: world than the children of bali but it was impossible
[21:55] Speaker 2: not to see the difference between them and karel not
[21:58] Speaker 2: only in the tone of their skin and the color
[21:59] Speaker 2: of their hair but in the build of their bodies
[22:05] Speaker 2: Yael era más grande en las espaldas que los otros niños,
[22:08] Speaker 2: más dulce y más fuerte. Roxana tenía una impresión de
[22:12] Speaker 2: cómo un día sería como su padre, un hombre alto
[22:14] Speaker 2: y extremadamente hermoso. Acabó que esto es lo que serían
[22:16] Speaker 2: sus hijos, sus hijos y los de los monjes, y
[22:17] Speaker 2: sintió una calma de calma que se rompió en ella
[22:19] Speaker 2: al pensar en un día que se quedara con su
[22:21] Speaker 2: propia hija en sus brazos. He must have fallen asleep
[22:28] Speaker 2: because she dreamed not only of the Count, but of
[22:29] Speaker 2: her children. When she opened her eyes, it was as
[22:30] Speaker 2: if she were still dreaming, for he was there. She
[22:32] Speaker 2: looked at him sleepily, her mind still hazy from sleep,
[22:33] Speaker 2: but the expression on his face brought her back to
[22:35] Speaker 2: reality with a start. Whose child is that? He asked
[22:37] Speaker 2: in a voice so harsh that it seemed to disturb
[22:39] Speaker 2: not only the silence around him, but the very harmony
[22:40] Speaker 2: of the forest. Roxana miró a él por un momento
[22:57] Speaker 2: en silencio, incapaz de responder, tratando de decidir si esto
[22:59] Speaker 2: todavía era parte de su sueño. La suspensión que vio
[23:01] Speaker 2: en los ojos del jefe y la oscuridad de su
[23:03] Speaker 2: voz la asustaron con un pánico de repente y sin
[23:05] Speaker 2: su voluntad consciente. Interviniendo, escuchó a sí misma decir,¡ Él
[23:08] Speaker 2: es mío, mío! As she said this, she held Karel
[23:18] Speaker 2: tighter and he too woke up with a low murmur
[23:21] Speaker 2: and struggled to free himself. Who is his father? The
[23:25] Speaker 2: count asked in a voice that filled her with fear again.
[23:28] Speaker 2: I do not know. She saw the expression on the
[23:30] Speaker 2: count's face change to one of profound loathing. then he
[23:34] Speaker 2: turned and moved so quickly that his footsteps raised small
[23:38] Speaker 2: clouds of dust and he disappeared for a moment roxana
[23:43] Speaker 2: refused to believe that this had really happened that because
[23:47] Speaker 2: she had not dared to tell the truth her world
[23:49] Speaker 2: had collapsed around her the pain of what had happened
[23:53] Speaker 2: was so unbearable that she simply sat there with her
[23:56] Speaker 2: eyes closed knowing that carrel had climbed out of her
[23:59] Speaker 2: arms ella se sentía sola, intensamente sola, rodeada de una
[24:03] Speaker 2: oscuridad impenetrable que la cubría como un escudo. Al final
[24:06] Speaker 2: entendió que tenía que hacer algo. Se levantó, de repente
[24:08] Speaker 2: sintiéndose vieja y cansada. Lentamente caminó hacia el valet, donde
[24:11] Speaker 2: Aida Etiu todavía estaba trabajando. I want to talk to you, alone.
[24:21] Speaker 2: It was difficult to say this in Balinese, but the
[24:23] Speaker 2: man understood. Put his knife aside, stood up, and walked
[24:25] Speaker 2: with her toward the courtyard. No. Help me, please, help me.
[24:27] Speaker 2: Roxana begged. I have to escape. Yes, I will stay.
[24:29] Speaker 2: Even if they don't find Karel, they will send me
[24:30] Speaker 2: to prison or subject me to worse humiliations. y anectimu
[24:44] Speaker 2: nodded as if acknowledging without explanation that anything could be
[24:48] Speaker 2: expected of his dutch masters Where can I go? Tell me,
[24:55] Speaker 2: Roxana implored. Where can I go where the governor won't
[24:58] Speaker 2: find me? She hesitated for a moment and then added, uh,
[25:02] Speaker 2: I must take Karel with me. The old man looked
[25:04] Speaker 2: at her and she understood without needing explanation that he
[25:06] Speaker 2: knew the governor was courting her and her. Very little
[25:08] Speaker 2: happened in Bali that was not already known among those
[25:10] Speaker 2: who lived isolated in the forest.¿ Dónde puedo ir? Roxana
[25:19] Speaker 2: preguntó desesperadamente. Ida y Muthotha por un momento, entonces, dijo
[25:22] Speaker 2: una sola palabra a Radimari. Badum. Roxana miró a él
[25:24] Speaker 2: con asombro. Balearico sur. Pero,¿ cómo puedo llegar allí? Los
[25:27] Speaker 2: alemanes siempre previnieron a los balearinos del norte de ir
[25:30] Speaker 2: a la independencia donde no tenían autoridad. There is a way,
[25:42] Speaker 2: Anakimu replied. Roxana looked at him anxiously. Will you show me?
[25:44] Speaker 2: Tell me how I can do it. The old man
[25:45] Speaker 2: was silent for a moment, concentrating as he did when
[25:48] Speaker 2: he worked. Then he said, Inoman will take her. Inoman
[25:50] Speaker 2: was one of her sons. A strong young man whose
[25:51] Speaker 2: main occupation was cutting and carrying the wood that his father,
[25:53] Speaker 2: his brother, carvers and the apprentices worked with. That's very
[26:11] Speaker 2: kind of you, Roxana said. When can we leave at dawn?
[26:16] Speaker 2: We'll be ready. I'll take Carell back now. Aydana Anak
[26:21] Speaker 2: Temu nodó y Roxana miró hacia donde Arazi estaba jugando
[26:23] Speaker 2: con otro chico de su edad con hojas de árbol
[26:24] Speaker 2: y algunas piezas coloridas pintadas de madera.¿ Cómo puedo mostrarle
[26:25] Speaker 2: toda su amabilidad? Ella preguntó silenciosamente. Aida, Emu, sonrió, y
[26:28] Speaker 2: incluso con sus labios estancados de Bethel había algo muy
[26:29] Speaker 2: caliente en su sonrisa. You have eyes in the soul,
[26:44] Speaker 2: he commented. Such students are very rare. It was a
[26:48] Speaker 2: great compliment said in the Balinese language. Roxana reached out
[26:51] Speaker 2: and old and took his old twisted hand. I will
[26:52] Speaker 2: be grateful to you until the day I die, she said.
[26:54] Speaker 2: When I go, you will take care of my sculptures.
[26:56] Speaker 2: He nodded and she added, whatever I leave behind, if
[26:58] Speaker 2: it is of any use to you, consider it yours.
[26:59] Speaker 2: We can only take a few things with us. For
[27:13] Speaker 2: the first time, Roxana wondered if they would have to
[27:15] Speaker 2: travel on foot, as if he read her thoughts. Aida
[27:19] Speaker 2: Tanakimu said, Any woman will take a cart, but be
[27:22] Speaker 2: ready and don't tell him. We will be waiting for him.
[27:26] Speaker 2: La pala me se cala, mime. With that, she picked
[27:28] Speaker 2: up Karel, who gave a low cry of protest, for
[27:30] Speaker 2: he was so happy playing on. Sokka. Aida gritó a
[27:35] Speaker 2: Timu y su hija más vieja surgió de un baile
[27:37] Speaker 2: entre los árboles. Le dio instrucciones rápidas y regresó con
[27:40] Speaker 2: un shawl que arrastró alrededor de Karel, cubriéndolo para que
[27:42] Speaker 2: solo su pequeño rostro pudiera ser visto. Roxana le agradeció
[27:44] Speaker 2: porque era Sokka quien cuidaba a Karel junto con sus
[27:45] Speaker 2: propias hijas. Deseaba que tuviera algo para darle como regalo.
[27:58] Speaker 2: then she remembered that she was wearing a small pearl
[28:00] Speaker 2: brooch on the neckline of her dress a iña the
[28:03] Speaker 2: ornament was of no great value but for soca it
[28:06] Speaker 2: was unlike anything she had ever owned before and it
[28:09] Speaker 2: was as if she had received the rarest jewel in
[28:10] Speaker 2: the world and she thanked her very profusely ida onactemu
[28:16] Speaker 2: insisted that one of her granddaughters accompany roxana eh roxana
[28:21] Speaker 2: understood that she was doing this because if anything happened
[28:24] Speaker 2: if anyone questioned her on the way the girl would
[28:26] Speaker 2: go back to tell her grandfather what had happened what
[28:28] Speaker 2: had in this way she was not only protecting her
[28:32] Speaker 2: but also inoman because when he came to pick them
[28:34] Speaker 2: up at the cart someone might stop him and charge
[28:36] Speaker 2: him with trying to smuggle people south roxana found that
[28:38] Speaker 2: carrel had grown considerably in the two months since she
[28:40] Speaker 2: had brought him to that forest retreat after his father
[28:42] Speaker 2: died died before they reached the house her arms were
[28:44] Speaker 2: already aching from the weight of the child She glanced
[28:58] Speaker 2: suspiciously into the courtyard before entering to make sure if
[29:00] Speaker 2: the governor or the count were there waiting for her,
[29:02] Speaker 2: but there was no carriage or horse in sight. Gerrit
[29:04] Speaker 2: Ruida ran out of the kitchen when she saw her arrival.
[29:05] Speaker 2: Surprise flashed across her face when she saw what Roxana
[29:07] Speaker 2: was carrying in her armsome. But the young woman passed
[29:10] Speaker 2: her without saying anything else. Give the child some eggs
[29:12] Speaker 2: and some fruit and when she has gone, close and
[29:14] Speaker 2: lock the door. de ruida miró a ella con sorpresa
[29:29] Speaker 2: a este orden extraño, sin embargo, ella entendió que el
[29:31] Speaker 2: orden tenía que ver con corral y se apretó a
[29:33] Speaker 2: obedecer unos minutos después volvió a la vela que llevaba,
[29:36] Speaker 2: la habitación estaba abierta y miró a roxana con ansiedad
[29:45] Speaker 2: Is Karel sick? Why did you bring him home? We
[29:48] Speaker 2: are leaving tomorrow at dawn. Where are we going? To
[29:52] Speaker 2: Bandung in the south. The count followed me into the forest.
[29:56] Speaker 2: Did you tell him where I had gone? No, of
[29:59] Speaker 2: course not. Gertrude replied angrily. Does he think I am
[30:03] Speaker 2: that stupid? I didn't even see him. I thought I
[30:05] Speaker 2: heard the sound of horses hoof beats shortly after you left.
[30:07] Speaker 2: It took me a few minutes to stop what I
[30:09] Speaker 2: was doing, and when I looked out, no one was there.
[30:11] Speaker 2: The count must have come to see me, Roxana muttered
[30:13] Speaker 2: almost to herself. I suppose, he asked the children who
[30:14] Speaker 2: are almost always playing outside, and they must have told
[30:17] Speaker 2: him where I had gone, what I... That is most likely,
[30:31] Speaker 2: Gertruda said abruptly. In Bali you can't do anything without
[30:35] Speaker 2: everyone else knowing. Roxana was sure that was the case.
[30:40] Speaker 2: She remembered that on one occasion she had told the
[30:43] Speaker 2: count Ida's name. Anak Temu, he should have known he
[30:46] Speaker 2: would find her at her home. Anyone in the forest
[30:49] Speaker 2: would have been happy to tell him where the most
[30:50] Speaker 2: famous of the woodcarvers lived. Everyone in this part of
[30:52] Speaker 2: Bali took pride in his skill and admired his work.
[30:54] Speaker 2: Why was I so foolish as to come this afternoon?
[30:56] Speaker 2: Roxana asked herself, but she realized there was no time
[30:58] Speaker 2: for regrets or regrets. She had lost the count. She
[31:00] Speaker 2: had lost the love he had given her and there
[31:01] Speaker 2: was only one thing on her mind at the moment getting...
[31:17] Speaker 2: carrel to safety at the same time her body her
[31:21] Speaker 2: heart her mind and her soul protested that she had
[31:24] Speaker 2: lost what had been only a brief dream but the
[31:26] Speaker 2: memory of him would remain with her forever she knew
[31:31] Speaker 2: that in the long lonely years to come
