00:01:35 Then... You've made up your mind?
00:05:38 "Who owned such beautiful things."
00:09:45 "Yes, I was blushing."
00:14:37 What are you going to do?
00:18:53 It comes, Dear.
00:22:16 "For what seemed endless hours I set outside your door..."
00:25:18 When there was a good chance, I'd take part of it myself.
00:27:38 But how can that be?
00:30:50 "Off I went, not home..."
00:35:00 I was wrong. It is becoming.
00:36:50 Go on.
00:39:19 Because you'll be so famous.
00:41:41 No. It's just like I tripped the land with the midnight sun.
00:45:12 But I don't even know where you live.
00:49:21 Yes. Stephan, hurry, please.
00:52:47 If I were really deserving why, I'll be ready on time.
00:54:58 Good night, Sir.
00:58:08 Call my carriage, please.
01:01:08 What are you going to do?
01:04:33 You know how much that it's meant to me?
01:07:37 No reason to get alarmed.
01:12:39 And you've never found her?
01:15:07 I couldn't get you out of my mind all day.
01:22:11 The End.
