Horrible collection of men self halagndose,

was a relief to hear an intelligent female voice.

It is a pleasure ... I'm Eff ...

that is, the Mrs. John Raskins.

Be who you are, but who you were when you were a Mrs. John Raskins?

I'm Elizabeth.

My name Eff ... Eufemia.

It is somewhat sad to lose your name,

and taking the Christian name of your husband that.

- Fortunately I do not have that cross. - Why?

- Lady Eastlake. - Thank You.

- Her husband is ... - President of the Academy. Yup.

Thank You. Absolutely hates the paintings, by the way.

But respect the opinion of her husband, as his.

Has to invite to dinner.

Well, I'll remember.

- It seems like just fine. - As good as expected.

They agreed to leave the paintings instead.

Lady Eastlake was very friendly, and did not know who I was at first.

Lady Eastlake?

John congratulations, you won the fight.

Sure must be proud.

We'll see, it is certain that I will take three days to recover.

Is that asking so much of you,

everyone always want something.

Forgot to say ...

Lady Eastlake asked me to invite them to dinner here.

To have dinner here? Do Eastlake?

John.

Yup.

Are we not poor, no?

Poor, even remotely.

Why do you ask?

Just tell me something.

What?

That we are not so poor as not to have children.

You're still a child.

I am not.

I'm not a girl, I'm a married woman.

I want to live together as husband and wife.

We are husband and wife.

I know, but alone.

I would love to keep the house for you.

Our own house, with a large room for the child.

In the city, to maintain our social life.

I will be in charge of our domestic affairs.

I will become the wife you want.

Can I help you, ma'am?

If Ana, thanks.

Looking needle and thread to shirt John,

I have to fix it.

Sorry lady,

I do not know as I saw it.

Leave it here, I will soon.

I will.

Lady has always been my job to fix things young Raskins.

No longer ...

I am his wife,

I take care of his things.

Thanks Ana.

Since, ma'am.

Honey ...

I am a sewing expert, John will be new shirt.

If my mom needed to fix something, socks, scarves, baby

she always asked me what me.

John does not use handkerchiefs baby.

No, I know, of course not ...

Dear, sure you have a good intention.

But we are not suggesting that we would insult our son,

take old socks.

- Do you forget where you are? - Of course not, forgive me.

You forget who you are?

Home ...

John.

Ms. Raskins says you should take this.

What is it?

A remedy. He says it's the best.

- What's inside? - I do not know, ma'am.

Want poison, will not take it.

Ms. Raskins is very determined.

Lady Eastlake, Sir Charles.

We honor.

I tried unsuccessfully to congratulate his son,

for its magnificent new scripts.

They are not more than a few words no matter who.

Sure John, came to congratulate you on your exciting new wife.

Well, new to me, where is it?

Does the impact much when we met?

- I forgive. - Sure.

Why are not you wearing?

You will arise now wear a garment.

I'm sick, my head hurts.

You're not sick, just annoyed,

you took the medicine, arise.

It will be dressed up and down in five minutes,

or there will be consequences.

There you are.

Honey, what's wrong?

You're as white as teeth.

No, I'm fine.

Sit.

Sir Charles told us about the excellent response,

the new book of John.

Eufemia, a drink.

As I said, the reaction has been sobrecojedora,

tell the grand master of our time.

Charles Forgive me, but this girl,

tiunfos not need to hear her husband.

Now you need is a cup of tea and bed.

Does that feel?

Dear, are you still sick?

Forgive me ...

Friend, friend ...

Excuse my condition, I'm sorry.

He is married life.

Effi, do you have anyone with whom you speak?

No I keep thinking I made a terrible mistake.

That also thought early in my marriage.

The beginnings are difficult.

But we have not yet begun.

Do not leave us.

They did not always live here.

It is a temporary fix, sure.

They want it here, I'm sure.

They have always had for them.

Did they not let children play with when he was little?

In college, she lived near him,

and were every day.

She never let him get away.

Dear, it's crazy not having a home.

Thanks for being so kind.

You are a strong and intelligent girl.

But I must tell you to forget that you have made a mistake.

And if the case.

So dear I fear that it is wrong with you have to live.

No turning back.

No ... no, of course not.

Sure, think everything will fall into place naturally.

The children are the glue that bind all marriages.

Can you forgive me?

Of course.

If you bring me back I'll send you to pull the Thames.

Your mother is angry.

There was nothing I could do.

God. We have protected the full force of our body,

from childhood, of all the obstacles,

everything to feed your talent.

And they have succeeded.

But even with so much talent, effort is required.

And for the first time,

President of the Academy,

invited the best anyone could wish for,

gives us his presence,

and your wife could not or would not,

make an effort to be successful.

Many careers have fallen for less.

Sorry to be a disappointment to you.

We warn you about this girl, but decided to go your own way.

Up to you to ensure this,

not lead to the destruction of, all you have desired for you.

You are sad, did not want a coffee, right?

No, no, it was just ...

I was interested to see that poor girl.

- And she's not happy. - You did not at first.

That's what I said.

- You were very sad. - And you pompous.

- It's true. - And distant.

This is more complicated,

somehow have to get him away from his clutches.

You make them sound like dragons in a fairy tale.

Yup? It was not my intention.

Maybe not so far from the truth.

What was it you said about Venice?

Well, I hope you do not take your parents.

John...

Thanks for bringing us here.

Lady Eastlake told me reponderamos before her.

- We must take care. - Exactly.

- Thank you, thank you very much. - That's very kind.

For all, it is not often that we have new blood here.

I'm sending notes,

will make you invitations to all parties.

I see you do not like parties.

I came to Venice to work, to write a new book.

I hate the holidays, in fact I can not go without it affecting me.

My wife will go in my place.

Say what?

He says he hates the holidays and do not want to see anyone.

But she can.

Did you bring a chaperone?

No, we have not.

My wife is the same model of decorum.

Do not worry, Mr. Raskins.

Venetian language so quick to gossip will be silenced.

With your permission my mother and I will of chaperones.

Perfect.

What? What say all?

That her husband does not approve pleasure, but you will.

How would "like to buy some cheese".

I would like to buy some cheese.

I would like to buy some cheese.

- Bravo. - Magnificent.

His accent is divine, say it again.

I would like to buy some cheese.

Again, again ...

I would like to buy some cheese.

It is wonderful mom.
