The Parson's Widow

00:00:02 THE PARSON'S WIDOW

00:02:30 Sofren had struggled through long student days and now he was applying for the vacant post.

00:06:41 "In the beginning, Man, unlike others creatures, was made in the image of God."

00:11:11 "Let him stay there!"

00:12:52 When the two theologians from Copenhagen saw they could not reach their goal by words alone, they joined forces to invite everyone to a feast that evening.

00:16:00 "Night has fallen already. Will you do me the honor to accompany me to the parsonage?"

00:19:36 "You are not engaged to any young maiden, are you?"

00:22:15 "Indeed... there I have never slept."

00:25:10 "Dame Margarete, I love you! Let me stay here with you always."

00:29:07 "With a herring she gave me."

00:30:21 "Why, it is my sister Mari."

00:36:15 "We will now drink to the health of the bridal couple and wish them a long and happy life."

00:40:52 Time passed by... Dame Margarete had not yet died and Sofren had not been able to see Mari alone.

00:44:19 Sofren was at his wit's end. Finally he stooped to courting at night just as peasant lads did.

00:48:26 "Shame, that you cannot leave us girls alone!"

00:49:42 "And they say you have a potion which can prolong one's life."

00:53:58 "So that is how the Devil looks!"

00:55:39 "Be careful, Dame Margarete! The ladder is gone!"

00:58:11 "My first husband and I were engaged for many years when he applied for the post here and learned he could have it only if he wedded the parson's widow."

00:59:35 "Mari and I are not sister and brother --- she is my fiancee. We have also waited for your death, Dame Margarete!"

01:06:26 Do not forget, when my mortal remains are taken away, to put a horseshoe over the door and to strew linseed after me so that I shall not haunt you.
