Anushka Page #3

---

I only came because

I was really desolate.

And because I wanted to be

far away from home.

I am not interested in any guy.

I am not looking at anyone.

I have someone I love.

That is no reason to cry!

My little one, come.

Sit down with me .

Why do you cry,

when you have a man?

Please serve the tea!

Yes, Sir.

Madame Eva!

Almost on time.

i am very short on time.

Don't you want to take off

your coat, Madame?

No, thank you.

I wont stay very long.

Pretty...

- Hm.

Tell me, am I the first?

The first and the last.

Why is that?

You are the only one.

All of the others unfortunately

declined.

No, Sascha.

You promised to invite

a small group of people.

Or else...

Isn't this group small enough?

You're impossible.

Hit me, but that's the way I am.

Yes, and that's how

I have lost everything.

And had to get away from home.

Such a sad story!

I am sorry for you, An-usch-ka.

Anuschka!

But, I wouldn't put up with this.

Jesus, there must be some

villainy behind it!

Good Lord, what should I've done?

Fight back!

Talk with an advocate.

But I don't have any money.

There are also decent advocates,

who don't take money straightaway.

No, no...

Please stop with those pettifoggers.

I've had it with this guy from Marina.

Don't be stupid.

I know someone who also helped me.

Shall I ask him?

What, a real advocate?

And you would ask him to come?

Umm, well...

He isn't a real doctor...

But... a doctors right hand!

You know what?

We will call him immediately,

after Madame has left.

Maybe he will come in the afternoon,

for a cup of coffee.

So, where is the little girl,

please.

She will be back soon.

She just went for a walk

with the dog.

There she is.

This is Mr. Virak.

My name is Hordak Anna.

He knows more about law,

then the most famous and clever

advocates in Vienna!

Please don't exaggerate, Miss Lina.

After 30 years of practice,

one gathers some experience naturally.

Miss Lina already told me

about your case.

But I need more details from you.

If I understood correctly,

you relinqished the farm voluntarily?

Yes, but I had to!

But the Lord will help me

to gain my rights.

In my experience,

you have to tackle something

on your own,

and God will help you.

Yes.

But what can I do?

First of all, tell me everything -

one after the other.

Will you come to the opera ball?

I don't know, maybe...

Your dear husband,

will have no time, unfortunately?

Probably.

But, you will come, won't you?

Without my husband?

Are you always so self-dependent?

I became...

May I see your cigarette lighter?

Lovely work.

A peteterl or a peschurl?

Excuse me?

There are two kinds of lighters.

Some work sometimes,

those are the peteterls.

And others work everytime,

those are the peschurls!

Where did you buy it?

This is a present from my husband.

Well...

Sister Agnes, do you have an idea,

what happened

to the picture of my wife?

It was always on your desk?

I put it here after our small trip.

I cannot find it.

Maybe you took it home.

Probably.

Look Eva,

you think I am a nice,

but adrift fellow.

A rogue, a beau.

Is this bad?

It is my own fault.

I should have evaded you.

But why?

Why?

Because I felt very clearly,

that you will mean more to me,

then you should.

I struggled against it, I...

tried to leave it at that.

Until I noticed,

how lonely you are.

That you are missing

all this tenderness,

and yes, the love.

I could give to you.

And that you might wish...

Sascha, you are wrong.

I love my husband.

But does your husband love you?

How can someone live with

a woman, like he does?

A women like you?

Eva.

How did my picture come here?

I took it from your husbands surgery.

Weeks ago.

Didn't he tell you

that he is missing it?

Pardon me, Eva.

I like to leave Sascha,

please let me go.

See, now I made you feel sad.

But I wanted you to be happy!

Happy...

Come with me to the opera ball!

Without him.

Maybe we will accomplish,

to be as careless,

as we would like to be!

And afterwards, maybe we will go to...

Sascha, I beg you!

I take the golden lighter in pawn,

for you to come.

Will you come to the opera ball?

Without him?

Yes.

Maybe.

This is certainly not an easy case.

First of all, we will take a look

into the cadastre.

And then we have to make a plea!

Will it be a lawsuit?

It happens quite often,

that a lawyer sends a letter,

and everything

looks much different afterwards.

I will draw up such a letter,

present it to my director,

Dr. Moosbauer,

and will let him sign it.

Do you think such a letter

will be enough?

Mr Virak's letters make

people tremble!

Indeed!

Oh dear, you look beautiful Madame!

Yes?

Ouch, that hurts!

Oh, please pardon me!

Well, give me the orchid.

Please.

And when the professor

comes from the clinic,

make sure, he will get a hot tea.

Yes, Madame.

Ah, that's too much.

And Lina shall prepare

some sandwiches for him.

The mirror, please.

And put the evening paper

on the right place.

The professor likes to read it

before going to bed.

I think there's something wrong

with a curl, isn't it?

Wait, I will go.

Yes, hello?

Oh, it's you?

Yes...

Yes, of course.

Maybe, yes...

Well, it's a shame in a way.

What?

That the poor professor has to work

so much all the time.

He can't even go to the opera ball!

Yes, it's a shame.

It would do him good,

to have some fun and dance,

no?

He is always looking so serious!

My goodness, there he is!

Pardon me, the professor!

There he is,

in the flesh.

Felix!

If Madame allows me,

I would like to accompany Madame

to the opera ball.

But Felix, you wanted to...

I had to postpone two operations

and decided,

that I could grant ourselves

this evening.

My God, Madame turned pale with joy!

Yes, the surprise was a success.

How did you change

your clothes so fast?

Leopold had to bring the suit

to the clinic.

Are you ready?

Yes.

In a moment.

Well, our little Anuschka is already

acquainted

with all the secrets

of the upper crust.

As I can see.

She is really quite smart.

Well, I am really pleased

my dear child.

Oh, excuse me,

this is all a little bit...

new to me.

It will be ok.

I am ready.

Madame!

The horses are saddled and girthed.

Good evening!

And have a good time.

Are they gone?

Yes!

And the professor will join her!

Jesus, Madame will be happy.

He surprised her with that.

I have a surprise for you too!

For me?

Come on, put on your pretty dress,

you know the one

with lots of colours!

We will also go to a ball.

To the opera?

Of course not, darling.

Move a bit.

It is always boring,

where the gentlefolk amuse themsleves.

We'll go to the Stalenher.

No...

I can't go to a ball.

But why not?

My father died only half a year ago.

Do you think it would make him happy,

when you sit in your room all day?

On the contrary,

when he looks down and sees

you dancing at the Stalenher,

he will laugh and think bravo,

she's a smart girl, my Anuschka!

Perhaps you 're right.
