"What have you done, Jean?" " Am I alive?" " I don't know." "Forgive me, your Grace." "The stork's expected at the mill today, that's why we're in a hurry." "The stork?" "Waiting around for it to get there or what?" "!" "Get moving, take the shortcut!" "Well?" "I've been on the look-out since morning." "Nothing!" "Wait..." "over there!" " Do something, Jean." " I'm trying to!" "Over there!" "This way, this way..." "To our place, stork!" "My flowers..." "Get him!" "Shoot, you dimwit!" "Don't worry, it won't get to the mill." "Shoot!" "Look, it's leaving." "But... it's flown off!" "I can hear something crying!" "How's that, it flew away?" "!" " A crow stopped by." " A crow?" "But... a crow or a stork?" " Our sunshine." " God bless you." "She's as pretty as you are, Elisa!" "This is nothing much " "I'll bring you an armload of water lillies!" "Just one." "For Theresa." "And one for you, Elisa." "It's as old as our mill." "Your greatgrandma got it from the greatgrandmiller." " Thank you, daddy." " We thank you, dear." "How sad your mother didn't live to see the day." "She'll be as lovely as a princess." "Just like Elisa." "I'm going to marry her." " No,no." " I said it first." "Quiet, or I'll show you what for!" " He started it." "Nasty Greenfrog." "You missed, you fool, Now I'll show them." "Welcome, Duke." "Don't you touch her!" "She's ours!" "Get lost, you nasty old brute." "Stop sniffing!" "He did the shooting, he reeks of smoke." "Whatcher babling about?" "So small and such a liar!" "You're a liar." "You chased the stork away." "You'd be getting gifts like this had you been born at the castle." "No thank you, your Grace." "She has one ring already, and that was given with love." "Love!" " Pardon me." " What pride!" " Rabble!" " Riff-raff." "Go home, you..." "Your Grace... dash it all." "The devil himself must've brought him." "Not me!" "It's all your fault, had you advised me better" "Elisa'd have chosen me and we'd have had an heir at the palace now!" "But I'll get rid of him." "Stop making faces or I'll have you locked up in the dungeon." "The dungeon?" "Me?" "You can do a bit of thinking there." "No, your Grace!" "No, please!" "Throw him down the dungeon." "Not the dungeon, no, your Grace!" "Such ingratitude!" "I always got you anything you wanted!" "No, you didn't, I wanted Elisa." "It's not my fault Henry showed up." "So remove him, and right away!" "I've an idea..." "Your idea, your Grace." "Look out of the window." "I'm looking." "So what?" "If I could go down, I'd..." "Your Grace, I'd..." "If it doesn't work, Jean...!" "It Will." "Whatcher doing, you dumb ass, you'll wake Theresa." " Watersprite!" " Stop shouting." "The devil..." "Help, he'll eat me alive!" " Save me!" " What do you want?" "." "Oh... that's a W!" " War... there's a war." " I can read too." "With the Turk." "The Duke has had me drafted." "No drafting here!" "We are freemen of the mill." "The Duke signed it, freedom from serfdom and military!" "Tell them so at the palace if they've forgotten." "This is rebellion, miller, you'll go to jail." "They'll take you off your high horse!" "We have no right to draft the miller and his sons, but he's not your son!" "He's family, he married my daughter!" "A stranger, from God knows where." "He's my husband and miller at this mill!" " That doesn't count." " Sorry." "Read it yourself." "Don't take little Theresa's daddy away..." "Don't cry, Elisa." "I can't bear to see your tears." "Jean, give me that paper." "All right, we'll let your husband stay at home," "and we'll re-write this." " Thank you." "Henry stays home to do all the work and you'll have time to come to me at the palace." "Yes, as a maid." "No!" "I want her there for her sweet face and smile." "I'll teach her to play the mandolin and new dances from la France." "Delightful!" "But who'll cook for us?" "And what about Theresa?" "Your Grace is kind, and I'd do anything to save my Henry, but I can't leave Theresa!" " So you refuse my offer?" "Unheard-of impertinence." "Elisa is staying here." " So you'll go to war." " And that's that." "I thought you'd appreciate my offer." "Don't plead with him." "I'd rather fight the Turk than have you at the palace." "He'll be sorry." "The hero!" "To show you that I have a head," "I'll give you time to reconsider." "I'll come for your answer tomorrow." "Tomorrow." "This is an insult to his Grace, fie on you!" "Help me." "Stop it, it's your fault, you brought this on." "Now watch." "And you've got what you wanted." "Report at the mansion tomorrow morning or I'll have you arrested as rebel and deserter." "Henry, I can't sleep." "I'm so sorry." "It's not you I'm angry with." "Listen, always stay near the water." "When things get bad, water will give you strength." "All right, Froggy." "At least it'll make me think of you." "Henry... wait wear this kerchief and no Turk can hurl you, not even the archdevil, I stole it from him, see?" " What?" " Yeah, I'm little but nifty." "I know." "Back to Elisa, quick." "Look after them both for me." "You can depend on us, right, Froggy?" " We won't let anyone in." " I shan't move a step." "So he won't move a step?" "!" "Says he!" "We know the rascal, he likes yummy food, he can't do without his favourite snake-tail soup." "I burnt it again!" "Farewell, my dear ones." "May God protect you." "Stay well and come back to us soon." "Don't forget, I entrust them to your care." "Don't worry, we'll help Elisa." "Huh, by gobbling up her doughnuts." "No, we promised Henry." " You know us." " That's the trouble." "I don't want Elisa to work so hard, poor dear." "They're filled with plum jam." "For the trip." "Stay here." "You'd be in the way." " But why?" " They'll be kissing." "Both of them?" "I'll keep it." "To remember you by." "Wait..." "Pigeon!" "Send me notes by him, to save me worrying." "It'll stay with you all the time." "The sun's high." "Goodbye, Elisa." "I shan't let you go!" "Where are you, you laggards?" "I'll show you what army service means!" "Pick that up, move!" "Move!" "Get going!" "This is the army, I'll show you!" "Michael, son of the Javornice smith." " Next." " Ludv'k, night-watchman." "Next!" "Here he is." "Luckily for him." " He came." "He's afraid!" " Of us!" "Of me!" "Take him, go, go!" "C'mon, your name." " Henry from the mill." " Next!" "Fall in line!" "An eagle!" "Don't be afraid, your Grace." "What is it?" "This is rebellion!" " Catch him, the rebel!" " Let me be!" "Let me be!" " Watch him, he's a rebel." " I'll cool his hot blood." "You'll soon be fighting - the Turk!" "I'll see to that." "Be tough on him." "I'd say he'd look fine in the first line!" "Rest assured of that." "Attention!" "March!" "Strawberries!" " You'll have a belly-ache." " So what." "Like yesterday." "He spewed into my pond." " No, no" " Yes, yes" "Farmer Vondrovec." "Why don't you help with the sacks." "We're not allowed to work." "I just knock..." "I can go on sneezing like this all day." "No way!" "Our mill was always an honest place." "The Devil's money wouldn't bring us luck." "But I only sneezed." "Don't let him see you." "He'd spread a tale about spooks doing the grinding and the flour reeking of sulphur!" "Elisa, come, dear." "I'll mind her, Elisa." "You're as foolish as you're pretty." "You could've been at the palace, dressed in silks ordering others around." "The young miller's at war, his father's a sick man." "You'll have trouble finding a helper, they've all gone off to fight the Turk!" "And God forbid that your man doesn't come back at all." " Have a bite, neighbour." " Wars, Turks, what else." "Wait!" "Get down!" "Move..." "Hide!" "It's done, farmer." "Your flour'll be ready tomorrow." "I'll be damned, girl!" "All those sacks and they're in the mill in two ticks!" "A real treasure, that girl of yours!" "What wouldn't I give to have her at home." "My Veronica's got a weak chest, she gets tired just doing embroidery!" "So the babe's arrived!" "Yes, the crow brought us a sweetie of a girl." "If she takes after her mother, lucky you!" "Serves you right, I saw you." "Do it again and you get turned out!" "Did you say something?" "No, I'm just complaining about this back of mine." "I must take a look, they'll be asking after her at home." "What name did you give her?" "Theresa, after my wife." "And what a good, kind woman she was." "God bless." "A girl like a little doll." "Horrible, disgusting!" "The sleazy thing, how did it get here?" "It was walking all over her!" "Get lost!" " What?" " Nothing." "What a bump." "He was real heavy, the big nasty horror." "I'll drown him" "I'll tear him to pieces" "And I'll drown those pieces." "All of 'em." "Don't worry, it'll find you." "No, we've gone too far." "They frightened it off." "Move, lazybones, make it to camp by evening, and that's an order!" "Maybe it returned to the mill." "Who knows." "It's the beastly carp and roaches who make this mess" "Yes, I mean you, too." "Oh, Elisa!" "I'll swish it about it for you if you like," "I've done my bit of sweeping." "Dear watersprite, this isn't work for a man." "I can do it, I always watch when you do it." "Just soak it and knead it a bit." "I'm off to the mill." "A man." "Nobody ever called me that." "C'mon girls, start working, with a swish and a swash..." "Come back!" "That's right!" "Don't just poke at it, slap it around properly!" "Faster!" "All done!" "Without water?" "I don't need water," "I don't like water." "Come..." "If daddy were to see you." "Don't you tell him, if he knew..." "Come here." "I'll dust you off." "Nice... nobody scratched me so nicely for 100 years." "More!" "You're so pretty when you laugh, Elisa!" "Don't cry." "Shut your eyes and start counting..." "No peeping!" "Wait!" "Quick!" "Hurry UP!" "You lazy thing!" "And what's this?" "!" "The miller, get down." "Have you forgotten what I told you?" "Henry said that I'm to help." "Don't be angry, he tries so hard." "Look at all the flour he ground!" "Let's hope it doesn't smell of devilry." "No, I happened to wash!" "All a devil's supposed to do is haunt the place." "You even look like a real spook." "No, I look like a real miller." "Me." "Who taught you?" "Henry did!" "I like it at the millhouse." "Everything rattles, shakes and creaks, a fine old noise, like back home in hell." "My back..." " There!" " My back... is all right!" "Are you asleep?" "It's your watch now." "Which is your favourite star?" " The one that's falling." " Did you make a wish?" "To be able to watch the stars from by our pond." "Good night." "So you found me after all!" "I waited and waited!" "Alive and well." "What else shall we say?" "Give them a thousand greetings and say" "I think of them all the time Elisa, Theresa..." "And come back soon!" "Since when do devils sleep at night?" "!" "Since they started working." "You and work!" "I haven't had such a good laugh for 100 years." "The watersprite is working too." "We're helping Elisa, so there." "You and your Elisa." "You've forgotten your dear old girl-friend!" "After all your promises!" "Me?" "You must be nuts." "I keep waiting for you to come and have soup with me." "I lost my bet with Bess!" "Don't keep a lady standing!" "No, I live here now," "Henry said I could." "Just me." "I'm your bride, so I'll live here with you." "Oh no you don't, getting married wasn't my idea," "I'm too busy, see." " You promised." " Me?" "Never." "Yes, at the wedding, here at the mill." "I was the loveliest of them all." "You?" "!" "Knock me down with a feather." "I'll make you remember!" "Just look at me!" "You are the loveliest of them all." "Lovely, but " "But - my dear friend?" "!" "What excuse will you come up with this time?" "I'm beginning to remember." "Good." "Pack up and we go home!" "You must be off your head." "I can't, I'm a worried devil." "I drudge away all day, grinding flour." "I'm in charge of the mill, I look after Theresa." "Another woman in your life?" "After Elisa she's the prettiest... we're all in love with her." " You too?" " Me too." "Come, and stop this row." " Look." " Isn't she lovely!" "I want such a Terry too, such a tiny baby..." "What baby?" "Our baby." "Yours and mine." "Where would I find one?" "A baby!" "Sure you haven't swallowed a raven's eye?" "I'm so busy and you'd want me to look after some strange kid?" " Ours!" " A stranger!" "One baby's enough," "I can't take care of two." "What're you waiting for?" "Go!" "Hear hear!" "Henry the miller was captured by the Turks." "God knows if he's still alive." "A ﬂy" "Mine!" "Elisa, my child, what's wrong?" "I've lost my Henry." "The Turks captured him." "What are you saying?" "Do calm down." "The Duke's drummer announced it." "He's in captivity." "God knows if he's still alive." "Is it sure?" "Elisa!" "That's..." "that's impossible!" "Did he show you an official note to say he's missing?" "See?" "There's hope until you get it black on white." "Don't cry, Elisa." "We've come to cheer you up." "Come in." "You don't listen to us!" "Henry is all right." "Isn't he, Furface?" "Yes!" "He's alive and well." "The devil's friends have the devil's luck, see?" "Furface is right." "I know you want to cheer me up, but my whole world's turned grey." "If it weren't for Terry and daddy" "I'd jump in the river." "Go to bed now, Elisa, wait and see, tomorrow..." "Right?" "Good night, Elisa." " These human troubles." "Odd, huh?" " Makes me wonder." " Me too." "Far, far away is the land beyond the Danube" "I'll sing you a song about Turkeyland" "Lully, lully, lullaby." "My Goodness!" "He's alive, Henry's alive!" "Henry's alive and well!" "Our pigeon brought a note!" " What did we tell you?" " See, nobody believes us." "Furface, Watersprite, if you knew..." " We know..." " We're glad that you're glad." "Whoa!" "Stop!" "Again." " Look at them!" " What does he want?" "His Grace heard about Henry's misfortune." "He expresses his regrets and offers you protection and refuge at his palace." "You can move there right away with the baby, and live without a care." "No, I can look after myself and my loved ones." "Thank you!" "Didn't she get the message?" " She did." " But we know it's a lie." "Outrageous!" "You dare say that I or his Grace lied?" "Yes, and who lies goes to hell." "Take your cabbage and get lost." "We have no reason for grief." "I know that Henry is alive and well and will be coming home soon." "What now?" "We're too busy for idle talk." "I'd bet my pipe those two have their fingers in our pie." " A thousand greetings!" "From us too!" "Take him my note and bring back his!" "But soon!" "No dawdling about!" "There he goes, Elisa!" "Down, up!" "Down!" "Up!" "Enough!" "Call yourselves soldiers?" "You bunch of dimwits, you should've stayed home not fight in the field of honour and glory!" "Nobody wanted to come." "Who said that?" "Me!" "I don't want to fight." "I don't care for your glory." "So you don't want to fight?" "Down, LIP, down, up..." "What a beast." "Thanks, Froggy!" " What did you say?" " Oh, nothing." "Henry, look!" "Furface, Watersprite, where are you?" "What's up?" "I've got something for you." "Doughnuts!" " Mine..." " Mine." "Stop pushing." "Now you shut your eyes." "Don't peep." "He's cheating!" "So he won't get any." "I want some too!" "You horrid tell-tale!" "I made one for you the same as Henry's." "And it's mine..." "Furface..." "He's out cold." "Whatcher doing?" "Hooray, I've got a cap!" "A lovely cap!" "And for you, Watersprite" "A pouch of 'baccy..." "What a fragrance!" "Welcome, dear neighbour, I'll grind it for you, fine as usual, my best to your wife..." "You here again?" "!" "I'm so proud of you." "I've been boasting to the forest fairies I'm marrying a devil who works and they're so envious they stopped talking to me." "If you wanna get married, find somebody else." "I'm too busy for such tomfoolery." "Who?" "There's no other young spook around!" "That one, that one at the mansion, marry the Duke, he's a fine spook." "The one from Netolice?" "No, wait..." "Jean, bring me a window, I want to look in the garden." "Now you know?" "Come quickly, sit down." "Now watch!" "There we are, your Grace." "A fine red wine." "Delicious." "I can't see!" "The mirror!" "It's gone!" "But there's plenty more where that came from." "Jean." "You licked off the cream!" "Your Grace, how can you..." "This is yummy." "Yummy, and you could be having that all day!" "_Me,?" "A' es'!" " Is that him?" " Yeah!" "A looker, isn't he?" "Jean, what's happening?" "Jean!" "My hair flew away!" "His hair comes off!" "You look good in anything." "Just look at him!" "He's real handsome." "My hair!" " We'll set things right." " Right!" "I bet those monsters at the mill are in on this." "Get away, you monsters!" "I'm off to investigate." "Such a draft again!" "You do it on purpose!" "My poor head!" "The pain'll kill me." "At least it'll be over, without Elisa I have nothing." "I'm a lonely and deserted orphan..." " No, you have me!" " Exactly." "Don't worry, your Grace." "I'm here to help you." "Who are you, an apparition?" "The ghost of aunt Bertha Gloria." "Ghost, my foot." "I'm a kind fairy, come to help you." "Ooops, isn't this fun!" "We don't need any help." "As you like." "But I know what bothers you." "Maybe I know how to make Elisa more respectful." "Don't be scared, silly, am I a spook or what?" "!" "Definitely not, dear lady." "You can look me up in the caves under the old castle." "But come alone!" "Leave this type at home." " Can I have another slide?" "No." " What a bold-faced hussy." "A witch!" "Wait here, I'm going on alone." "And leave me here, in the wilderness?" "I'll die of terror!" "If I don't return, carve on my gravestone " "For his passionate love hath he died a dreadful death." "Goodbye, good servant." "The wine." "Oh, horrors!" "High time, your Grace." "So Elisa doesn't want you, and you a Duke?" "She might want you if you looked like Henry." "A young helper come to serve at the mill?" "Young, you said?" "I'll give you the likeness of your choice." " How can I repay you?" " I don't want anything, but if you don't win Elisa within three full moons, the magic'll wane." "You'll have your old moniker again and I'll choose a Lady for your mansion." "Three full moons?" "When she lays eyes on me she'll forget Henry and throw herself in my arms." "Just think of all the hardship in store for you!" "The hard work will kill you." "That witch foretold deeds worthy of my heroic ancestors." "I'll earn the favours of the lady of my head." "Lady?" "ls the girl worth it?" "So many high-born ladies were ready to care for you." "But there's only one Elisa." "You'll have to walk the rest of the way... and such a way!" "No more la French, now you're a commoner." "And you must walk like this..." "I see." "Like this?" "That's it, your Grace." "Like a folk hero!" "What's that?" "Damned dog!" "What's that?" "Crazy swans... help..." "Murder!" "Shot in the back!" "She's high and dry, poor thing." "Whatcher doing?" "Not water, no!" "It's water she needs!" "Help!" "Somebody's coming!" "Horrible monster, go away!" "What are you doing?" "You'll cripple her!" "She was swimming when I came." "Swimming?" "Don't cry." " The yokel." "What is it you want?" "I'm a miller's apprentice, I'm looking for work." "I mean for a roof over my head..." "Where did you work last?" "Here and there and everywhere!" "I know who he is, Froggy!" "I heard you need a helper, so I came." "We do, but are you any good?" "You don't look like a hard worker to me." "But I am!" "And I can sing and dance!" "It's him, I smellt him, it's him!" " You wait!" " You..." "Haven't we met before?" "You look familiar." "Impossible." "We have a new helper, what do you think?" "Why, daddy?" "I can get my work done." "I don't want a stranger around." "Beautiful E- er, you'd work herself to death you need a helper I can do all sons of things," "you won't be sorry." "All right." "We'll give him a try." "There's plenty to do, even with our two helpmates." "A devil and watersprite, like in every real mill." "We didn't scare him." "What's your name?" "Well, in Germany they call me Johann" "And here Honza." "That's what we call our pig!" "Well, Johann, you can sleep above the pigsty." " The nights are warm." " It's him." "Above the pigsty?" "Is there no bedroom - er some tiny room?" "There isn't." "All right, I'm used to hardship on my travels." "Go and turn the hay, up by the wood." "I'll feed Terry and then I'll help you." "There's a rake, the meadow above the chapel." "He never killed himself working!" "Good, he's here, so we can keep an eye on him." "And we'll pay him back for his trouble." "We'll scare him out of his wits." "If he doesn't behave, just call us!" "What are you up to, Honza?" "You're slow!" "Would you call me Johann?" "You already have a...er - the pig Honza." "As you like, Johann." "I'm glad I came at the right time." "You can't do it all alone, poor girl." "I'm not alone - I have my Henry." "What's that?" "You wait!" "So those palace rascals are still bothering you." "With God's help I'll be home soon to protect you." "A thousand greetings to you, Terry, Dad," "Furface and Watersprite, from your loving Henry." "The main thing is he's alive and well." "Where does it say greetings to Furface and Watersprite?" "Here." "He never forgets us." "Give him our love too." "Of course, and I'll say how you help me." "Come, let's feed you." "You need a rest after your long flight." "But I'm not alone, really." "The Duke sent Henry away to fight the Turk." "The Turk?" "But nobody came back alive!" "That's what the Duke thinks, that ghastly ugly wretch." "Ghastly?" "Ugly'?" "The nastiest under the sun." "He's mean to everyone." "But he'll meet a just end, such a type always does." "But they praise him in town!" "Our Duke?" "Must be some mistake." "The Count in Netolice maybe, he's a wonderful person." "But our Duke is proud and evil, just about ripe for hell." " Stop it!" " Don't you like our food?" "Honza's used to better things - on his travels." "Johann!" "Not Honza!" "How about a nice roast chicken with sage stuffing?" "Just say so, Johann." "Would Elisa roast it, just for me?" "If you catch one." "Come, come here..." "Got you at last!" "I caught it!" "Help!" "I'll show him yet!" "I'm only little, but I'm nifty, see." "Jean, I discovered something awful!" "We'll write to daddy about your new tooth!" "He'll be amazed at you." "When he comes back." "My little turtle-dove, if it weren't for you..." "So that's the way it is!" "That pigeon must be done away with!" "Where am I?" "What is this?" "What have I done to deserve this?" "A sword!" "You ugly bird, there..." "I'll get you yet!" "Damned bird!" "We'll wring your neck, no more love-notes!" "Good morning, Elisa." "Hello, my little devil, have you seen my pigeon?" "No, let's hope a fox didn't get it!" "Beast!" "I was frightened, where've you been?" "Good morning, Elisa." "Did you sleep well, Johann?" "How else, under one roof with a lovely woman!" "For you I'd sleep on a bare rock!" "Good, plenty of rocks around." "Good morning, daddy!" "So the young 'uns are up already." "A beautiful good morning, miller." "Good morning..." "wait...my cap... wait!" "'Morning, master." "How do we go about it?" "Only a couple of sacks..." "You'll manage those on your own, Furface." "Johann can clean the dung out of the goat-shed." " Dung?" "Me?" " Dung." "Such swarms of them!" "Our boys'll fight like lions, your Highness." " They had tough training." " Our boys'll be killed." "We're far outnumbered!" "They'll beat us just with their turbans!" "Where're you from?" "From far away, Bohemia." "Bavorov." "Really?" "My wife comes from Netolice." "That's quite close, across the wood." "D'you think we can make them run?" "How dare you doubt our victory!" "It looks like my tough training did no good." "I'll show you!" "Lock him up!" "You won't forget me in a hurry." "Your Grace, we've got it!" "In a Cage!" "How did you catch it, Jean?" "You have to be smart" " No more love-turtling for you." " No more letters." "She'll forget in time, and your day will come." "A pretty little widow she'll be." "Let me finish it." "No, I like it, it's like a teeny weeny hell." "You'd do better to make some doughnuts." "We haven't had them for ages - yesterday." "It's so far, it takes time for the pigeon to find him." "It'll come flying in soon." "I've waited for so long." "It could have lost its way." "Maybe it can't find Henry." "I told you umpteen times that with my kerchief on, he can't have anything bad happen to him!" "Henry, d'you hear me?" " Jacob!" " I brought you some food." " Have you seen the pigeon?" "No." "Could all my loved ones have forgotten me?" "Henry!" "What's happening?" "Good gracious!" "Jacob, what's going on?" "Jacob?" "!" "Let me out!" "Oh God, a bad omen." "My horse!" "Why did you let the general escape?" "Go, look for him!" "Don't move, your Highness." "It's me." "Henry from Bavorov." "Oh, dear God." "Thank you." "If we survive, I'll fulfil your every wish." "Come, your Highness, down to the water." "Bring back the general, dead or alive!" "Too late, soldier." "No, just a few more steps!" "Get to the water!" "We must cross that mountain." " It's a precipice!" " Jump, don't be afraid." "Now he's trapped!" "We'll drown!" "Please jump, your Highness!" "Now!" "The devil took them." "Look, aren't they beautiful?" "!" "The finest in the world!" "You can't eat toadstools." "Show me what you picked." "All these, look, all beautiful..." "The red ones are poisonous!" "Pick only the boletus!" "So they're all ugly and poisonous and that's a red one too." "No, that's an orange-cap, a good one." "Crazy, this." "One red one you eat, another you don't." "Look, there's a fine one." "I don't like that one at all..." "You silly thing." "Please..." "Where are the others?" "Where are they all?" " Where are the others?" " There aren't any others." " What about Henry?" " He's... back there." "Elisa, someone's looking for you!" "When my pal was dying in the battlefield he asked me to bring you this." "Elisa, my child..." "Pull yourself together." "Oh God, what now." "I've left my message, so goodbye." "Elisa." "Look at me." "Daddy." "Your Grace." "A great performance, Jean!" " Yes, you'll get a medal." " Thank you, your Grace..." "A medal?" "!" "I've got 'dozens of those!" "Goodness, what happened?" "Henry was killed." "I'm so sorry." "That's life for you... that's life..." "Some celebration, or what?" "It's my lucky day today, dear witch." "Let's hope it's not the last." "Now nothing can prevent her from making the right choice" "Me!" "Me!" "Me...!" "That's fine, but your star is waning!" "Tomorrow is the third full moon." "Tomorrow is the third full moon." "I can talk and talk and nobody listens to me." " Nobody believes me." " Nor me." "But he brought the kerchief that I gave Henry." "How else would he have got it?" "I don't know yet, but we'll find out." "It's not working, or something." "D'you know why?" "Because you're a muddle-pate!" "Let go or I'll hit you." "So how did she do it?" "I don't know!" "So tell your girl-friend to show you and fast, or Elisa'll die of woe." "We want Elise to see Henry alive and stop dripping tears into the dough." "Here you are, and make it quick." "I went to her three times, you know what she said?" "Patience brings roses." "What would I do with roses?" "Johann." "Looks nice." "Is it noon already, Johann?" "Not yet, but I can't wait." "I came to offer you true happiness." "I'll marry you, Elise, you'll live in luxury!" "You can even bring the child, if you want to." "You're a lucky girl." "I was happy with my Henry, but then my luck flew away." "Except for - look, they have the same eyes." "I'm sick of your comedy." "Keep your palace." "I don't want it." "And get out!" "I'll stay true to Henry even though he's gone!" "Impossible!" "You must marry me!" "Leave Elisa alone!" "She's got to marry me!" "She must marry me!" "So you won't let her be, you nasty wretch?" "We've had really enough of you." "We saw right through you!" "Get out or I'll change you into a limping mare!" " You said you can't do it." " I know, but he doesn't." "Let's scare him out of his wits!" "Climb on my back, quick." "Don't drop me!" "Jean, it's me!" "The Duke!" "It's all her fault, and she's waiting for you!" " Who?" " The old witch!" "Our salvation!" "But your Grace..." "Delicious." "High time, where've you been, Duke?" "It didn't work, did it." "Elisa doesn't want me." "What did you think?" "I told you so." "Save me!" "Help me, gracious witch!" "Stop moaning, she's not the only Elisa around." "I said I'd choose a Lady for your palace myself." "Get up." "My, you're heavy." "I wonder are you worthy of her?" "Call me Elisa, I don't mind." "What?" "You?" "Never!" "No?" "That's all right." "I can be the mistress here without you around." "You and your precious servant'll clean the place all day and every day for 100 years." "And I want everything to shine and sparkle!" "That's what I get for my my tragic love!" "I know everything, move and fast or I'll turn you into six ugly green dwarfs." "No." "Your Grace, you too?" "You're as heavy as a sack of grouts!" "Come quickly!" "They'll haunt the castle at nights, they don't know yet!" " But this is our..." "Elisa's!" "They locked it up!" " What?" " They stole it, it's ours!" "I'll show you.0100 years, for that pigeon!" " Won't Elisa be pleased." " Yes, she will." "Mind you don't hurl it." "Fly home quickly, to Elisa." "Tell her we're coming!" "I said I'd fulfil your every wish, right?" "Yes, your Highness." "And I shall!" "You saved my life." "But this will be my keepsake." "Never take it off, I got it from the devil." "How did you know we wouldn't drown?" "I can't swim." "A miller and water, we're body and soul." "And I'm friends with a watersprite." "I name you my highest commander," "I'll give you a house in the city and every year on this day..." "Isn't it enough?" "Just tell me." "No, your Highness" "I don't know what I'd do with that." "But if I can really have a wish..." "Henry!" "Elisa!" "Terry, come, quickly, daddy's back!" "Theresa..." "Welcome home." "That's our pigeon!" "Look..." "What a landing!"
