Так получилось, что книга ко мне попала в тяжелый эмоциональный кризис и многое мне дала. Написано актуально, тут многих полезных вещей, никакого злоу...

FRAN.
They are something alike, I suppose; let me look at that one. I am very fond of such things.
MAJ. T.
Another time, Franziska. Come now.
FRAN. (aside).
He is determined not to be drawn out of his mistake.
MAJ. T.
What do you say? Mistake!
FRAN.
It is a mistake, I say, if you think my mistress is still a good match. Her own fortune is far from considerable; by a few calculations in their own favour her guardians may reduce it to nothing. She expected everything from her uncle; but this cruel uncle!!!!!
MAJ. T.
Let him go! Am I not man enough to make it all good to her again!
FRAN.
Do you hear? She is ringing; I must go in again.
MAJ. T.
I will accompany you.
FRAN.
For heaven's sake, no! She forbade me expressly to speak with you.
Come in at any rate a little time after me.
(Goes in.)
SCENE IV
Major von Tellheim
MAJ. T. (calling after her).
Announce me! Speak for me, Franziska! I shall follow you directly.
What shall I say to her? Yet where the heart can speak, no preparation is necessary. There is one thing only which may need a studied turn
… this reserve, this scrupulousness of throwing herself, unfortunate as she is, into my arms; this anxiety to make a false show of still possessing that happiness which she has lost through me. How she is to exculpate herself to herself—for by me it is already forgiven—for this distrust in my honour, in her own worth… Ah!
here she comes.
SCENE V
Minna, Franziska, Major von Tellheim
MIN. (speaking as she comes out, as if not aware of the Major's presence).
The carriage is at the door, Franziska, is it not? My fan!
MAJ. T. (advancing to her).
Where are you going, Madam?
MIN. (with forced coldness).
I am going out, Major. I guess why you have given yourself the trouble of coming back: to return me my ring.—Very well, Major von Tellheim, have the goodness to give it to Franziska.—Franziska, take the ring from Major von Tellheim!—I have no time to lose.
(Is going.)
MAJ. T. (stepping before her).
Madam! Ah! what have I heard? I was unworthy of such love.
MIN.
So, Franziska, you have!!!!!
FRAN.
Told him all.
MAJ. T.
Do not be angry with me, Madam. I am no deceiver. You have, on my account, lost much in the eyes of the world, but not in mine. In my eyes you have gained beyond measure by this loss. It was too sudden.
You feared it might make an unfavourable impression on me; at first you wished to hide it from me. I do not complain of this mistrust. It arose from the desire to retain my affection. That desire is my pride.
You found me in distress; and you did not wish to add distress to distress. You could not divine how far your distress would raise me above any thoughts of my own.
MIN.
That is all very well, Major, but it is now over. I have released you from your engagement; you have, by taking back the ring!!!!!
MAJ. T.
Consented to nothing! On the contrary, I now consider myself bound more firmly than ever. You are mine, Minna, mine for ever.
