00:42must be one of the daughters that depends on whose daughter you mean the
00:47late mr. Archer and my poor sister you there must be our crazy aunt Lydia I'm
00:56her aunt Lydia but I'm not crazy which daughter are you the youngest are you the
01:03prettiest I haven't the least idea well I guess you must be is that what your
01:11father told you to call me crazy sounds like him still he's dead I'll say nothing
01:20against him he drank and he gambled and that's all there is to it he led your
01:25mother a dance I can tell you that how much money do you expect to get for this
01:30property I haven't the least idea well you needn't sound so proud a proper
01:36appreciation of money never did anybody any harm
01:39that's your father gave you fancy notions brought you up as if you were to
01:46inherit a million I thought you weren't going to say anything against him how
01:51much do you inherit really can't tell you you must ask Lillian she'll be back soon
01:55oh is she the one married into the army no that's Edith Lillian married a lawyer
02:01hmm come from England hmm Florence I live in Florence Florence oh I should like to go
02:14there would you know I'd give anything to see the cities of Italy well if you
02:20behave yourself and do everything I tell you I might take you there oh I don't
02:29think I can promise that to do everything you tell me no fond of your own way aren't
02:38you I can see there I thought you lived in England I don't like England I don't like
02:47bread sauce servants that drink beer or British laundress is that all there is to
02:52England oh no there's more to it than that but that's enough for me and doesn't my
02:56uncle like England well I suppose since he won't leave it he must like it anyway he
03:01prefers it to me won't come and live in Florence you see little of each other then enough
03:08a sister you're she likely to be long not long oh gasping I suppose
03:23you're my sister's children I suppose I must do something for you two that are married have
03:35done for themselves so there's nothing I can do there but if you've a mind you can come back
03:41to Europe with me Europe for a holiday maybe make something of a lady of you I I don't
03:52think there's no need to worry about money I'd want to pay something oh well that's
03:56neither here nor there you've got until tonight to make a few minds tonight but are you leaving soon
04:04then tomorrow but I should buy some clothes oh but you can buy those in Europe nobody buys clothes
04:11in America except those who live here they got no choice mr. Goodwood is here in a minute I'm going
04:20this is the address of my hotel I don't know what the four stars are for they're certainly not for
04:28comfort tell your sister to call on me this evening to bring her husband with her she's not to bring
04:35you I'll see plenty of you later mr. Goodwood I hoped you wouldn't come well I said you hadn't seen the
04:57last of me is it too tiresome for you to receive me not at all as I told you before under other
05:07circumstances there are no other what do you want out of life that is so arrogant I don't see why doesn't
05:22it imply that in refusing you I must have something quite extraordinary in mind have you no I simply
05:28don't want to get married to me to anyone what do you want to do is is everything to be viewed as an
05:35alternative to marriage for a woman it's not unusual but I don't see it that way I may travel to Europe I
05:48would take you anywhere you wanted to go that wouldn't be the same married to me you'd have
05:53more freedom than a single woman a married woman can go places a single woman can't how will you
06:02travel with my aunt I think the lady who was here just now hmm she has invited me to see something of
06:10Europe she didn't look to me to be an ideal traveling companion she seemed very nice a little eccentric
06:18perhaps but then she is very rich you don't seem to know her very well well I haven't seen her since
06:25I was a child she came when she heard my father her dad I I thought that was nice of her yes so you'll go to Europe
06:36for how long three months perhaps perhaps longer for what to see it what else oh I am not ready to
06:56settle down mr. Goodwood if you were would it be with me perhaps who knows what our destiny holds for
07:03us I don't go much on destiny life's there to be taken hold of
07:08I shan't give up easily Isabel I can imagine that why should I you're all I want
07:19oh for the moment
07:25well then go in search of your destiny that's too dramatic you may find me at
07:34the end of it then that would be even more so you're the most extraordinary girl I've ever met
07:41dear Henrietta I have marked my cabin with a
08:11cross we are traveling first of course I expect you've heard about it from Lillian my aunt is a
08:21strange woman but I like her we should be staying a while at my uncle's home in the south of England
08:29and then going to the continent I shall write you my impressions quite fully but you must promise not to
08:36use any of them as material for your column in the interview
08:38so
08:45would you like some more tea well I guess I'll wait and see
09:11well I guess I'll wait and see you cold oh I can't honestly say the short suits you
09:20it's my wife's oh well it's mrs. touchy I don't put ideas in his head he must keep his poor old legs warm
09:28you have no call to go abusing my legs they're as good as yours you may abuse mine anytime you like
09:35you see we're two lame ducks still he is a good nurse I thought he's rather clumsy
09:42well he's not bad considering he's not in much better physical shape than me oh come
09:48tell me have you ever been sick Lord Walburton once in the Persian Gulf sort of joke he's making light of you I must say you don't look as if you've ever been sick he's sick of life
10:03he was just telling me so well if I am your son gives can comfort do you know sir he's a regular cynic
10:10it's his health it affects his theoretical view of life practically he is a cheery soul
10:14I find life interesting I don't pretend like Warburton to be bored well I'm never bored when I come here I get such uncommonly good talk oh is that another sort of joke you know you have no excuse for being bored with anything if you have been bored with anything if you have been sick of life
10:32anything if you had something to do you wouldn't be bored you young men you're
10:37too idle and too rich oh cut it's hardly for you to accuse anyone of being rich
10:42I did not accuse you of simply being rich oh you mean it's all right to be
10:46rich if one is also industrious where does that leave me oh well now you're
10:51different yes you're clever besides oh do you think so another joke daddy you
10:59young men have too many jokes when you have no jokes you have nothing left no
11:10idea you know I have a feeling that that's my wife's niece I didn't know that arrived
11:16neither did I you must be my cousin Ralph touch it Isabelle Archer mm-hmm my mother
11:27is really too much how long have you been here about an hour she deposited you and
11:31just left again oh no she went straight up to her room and we'll appear at dinner I
11:35saw you from the window it's really too bad your mother tells me that in England
11:42people arrive quietly oh not that quietly those are my mother's notions believe it
11:47or not my mother has arrived and this is Miss Archer I do wish you had given us a
11:58chance to receive you oh but we were there were dozens of servants oh but we can
12:03usually do better than that this is a friend of ours Lord Warburton I hope your
12:08journey was tolerable oh I enjoyed it traveling agrees with me I'm so sorry you are
12:18not well oh I am an old man it is time for me not to be well I suppose still I
12:24think I shall feel better for having you here it is very beautiful here and I love
12:31your house is it very old early Tudor must have been oh it's delightful there are many better
12:37ones I'm a very good one in some respects it's better I think don't you believe him it's like an
12:43old barracks perhaps I may show it to you sometime oh I should love to see it I hardly expected to
12:52meet a real English Lord the moment I arrived well I hope you're not too disappointed oh it's
12:58really much too early to say it's most unaccountable we've never met I've been in New York several
13:06times there was some disagreement between your mother and my father after my mother's death oh but
13:12I don't embrace all my mother's quarrels heaven forbid she's been very kind to me well from her one
13:17letter it would seem she's adopted you adopted oh no I'm not a candidate for adoption I'm sorry I
13:25didn't you meant taken up yes I suppose she has taken me up I like her oh why I don't know that's
13:36what everyone says do they then I must think of a reason yes surely it's because she doesn't expect to
13:45be liked well I think I should go see mother you excuse me you said that I said welcome home exact
13:54would be a better word and what do you do Lord Warburton well according to mr. touches very little
14:03oh I'm sure that isn't true ah you see not everyone shares your view how is that me oh come in
14:14oh I'm all right oh you ought to get out of this cursed climate for good three months a year it's
14:27not nearly enough it is for me well you're as bad as your father if you had any sense he'd come and
14:32live in Florence he loves it here he won't leave then you should in a warm climate your lungs that heal
14:38properly to hell with my lungs how is he you'll see me out oh don't say that
14:46the doctor's a vague it's hard to say I think he's glad you're home
14:54anyway tell me about the young lady you sprang her on us rather suddenly well I sent you a letter and
15:02two telegrams my dear mother your letter was mainly about an hotel clerk who appears to have
15:06been very rude to you and so he was and bone idle exactly I gained a vivid impression of him so did
15:12my father in fact we both feel we can now pick him out in a crowd if the necessity ever arose but
15:18about my cousin you said very little well what you want to know about her your letter you described
15:22her as independent what do you mean by that oh I never know what I mean telegrams and let's try a
15:29different approach what do you plan to do with her well I shall ask your father she can stay here for
15:37a while then I'll take her to Paris buy some clothes and then invite her to spend the autumn with me in
15:42Florence you don't rise above the tail mother I mean in a general way what do you intend to do
15:47with her my duty naturally sounds a little dry well if it is she'll water it she carries her own
15:54summer rain with her she's gifted well she's a clever girl with a strong will and a high temper
16:01as for her gifts you'll have to find that out for yourself
16:04and how do you get on well you ask that as if you were sure we don't no I'm sure you do you
16:13wouldn't have brought her if you didn't but how do you get on well she's very frank and I'm very
16:18frank so we know what to expect of each other does that satisfy you totally at any rate one thing is
16:26clear it's a very frank relationship and now tell me why you brought her well why else should I bring
16:35her here except that she was alone and I thought it would benefit her you went there with that in
16:41mind to bring her back yes you never told us well I had it in mind but it might have changed my mind
16:48why should I waste people's time talking about something that might never happen I wouldn't
16:53have considered it a waste of my time well I was thinking about me own you're more prodigal of your
16:57time than I am had you met her before you see I'm quite in the dark about everything well I haven't seen
17:06my sister's children for years as you know I disapproved of the father yes that I did know
17:13and I resolved that when he passed on and got his just desserts I'd try and do something for them
17:21so I found out where they were living and introduced myself they yeah she has two married sisters what
17:28did they think of your bringing her back oh well I only saw the elder one Lily she thought it was just
17:33the thing for her sister you know someone taking the interest dinner she spoke very highly of her
17:38possibilities in what way oh I have yet to learn what a special line is she's pretty think so hmm but
17:50I wouldn't insist on it it's her general air of being someone in particular that strikes me well if
17:55that's her special lines not a bad one oh it's not something she makes a specialty of tell me do
18:03you think she's ambitious for what oh to marry an English Lord for instance she's already made a
18:09hit with Warburton oh Warburton he's not easily impressed neither is she I wouldn't wonder as for
18:14ambitions I've no idea she's not likely to confide in me you've still not told me what you intend to do
18:23with her what goodness boy she's not a yard of calico she'll do exactly if she chooses she's given
18:29me notice of that already high-spirited huh one more thing you've no plan to marry her off well I
18:39brought her here to spread her wings not clip them but she naturally has it in mind well I have no idea
18:44what she naturally has in mind I believe there's a young man in Boston there's always a young man in
18:50Boston fortunately they leave them behind and why are you so interesting that's it really she's
19:01interesting oh I was passing there so I thought I'd call oh you have taken to excusing yourself for
19:16dropping him I didn't mean to and have you gained the impression that we are not always pleased to see
19:22you well it's only polite that the thought should cross one's mind aren't they you English you're too
19:28concerned with good manners Ralph is out with his cousin they should be back soon you must make a delightful
19:35companion we're happy to have a here she's full of spirit he's very outspoken very refreshing in a young
19:45lady it's an American habit the children are encouraged to express themselves it is not always refreshing as
19:52mrs touch it never tires of pointing out well she seems to be enjoying herself oh I think so
19:59very good of your wife to bring her to Europe oh she felt it was her duty to mrs touch it that is
20:07indistinguishable from a privilege we could do with more like her than in public life oh I'm not so sure
20:12about that you'll be against women in Parliament I'd be against mrs touch it in Parliament that's about
20:19as far as I've gone with the idea yes yes I've been thinking of going into politics myself after all
20:31you tell me any the other day that you thought I ought to get up and take a hold of something you
20:36ought to get up and take hold of a pretty woman first I do recommend it hmm if you find the right
20:42one ah there's the rub well now there's a specimen a specimen of what the English gentry do you mean
20:52they're all like him oh no not all like him then he's a very favorable specimen for I know he's very
20:58nice do you enjoy your walk we went on the river did you well then you all have been handling the oars
21:05how did you know well he never rose he's too lazy he has an excuse for his laziness he's got a good
21:11excuse for everything my excuse for not rowing is that my cousin rose so well in fact she does
21:16everything well she touches nothing she doesn't adorn then it makes one want to be touched miss archer
21:21be touched in the right sense and you'll never look the worse for it are you well you have not been
21:29bored all afternoon no I have a new hobby watching you enjoy yourself then you have a full-time
21:36occupation well I must be going so soon yes I only dropped in because I was passing dear oh sorry I
21:43shouldn't have said that should I your father thinks that I've begun excusing myself for dropping
21:48in I hope you won't feel you must call less often whilst I'm here Lord Warburton it's my impression
21:53he's been calling rather more how very kind of you miss archer I promise that I won't
21:58by the by you still haven't taken up my invitation to come to Lockley my sisters would be glad to
22:04receive you I should love to come great Saturday that's splendid for luncheon I shall look forward to it
22:14very much goodbye I like your English specimen gentleman very much so do I even though he doesn't
22:27take himself seriously oh surely he doesn't regard himself as a joke worse he regards himself as an
22:33imposition and an abuse oh I don't believe it's true he's in a frightful muddle about himself his
22:39power his position everything else in the world is it true uncle oh Ralph must talk you know he is a
22:47great radical though for a lord he wants to do away with everything it's the fashionable thing to do
22:53these days I hope he won't abolish himself for I'm sure his friends would miss him and you I think
23:01he's charming the more I see of him the more impressed I am why do you suppose he is never married
23:08perhaps he's waiting for someone to come and untangle him oh you won't be serious I can see
23:14that do you feel sorry for Lord Warburton uncle he has a hundred thousand a year owns fifty thousand
23:22acres of land has a half a dozen houses to live in and a secret in the house of lords one can still
23:28feel sorry for such a man you see I told you a wonderful imagination oh Ralph stop it
23:35well how are you Lord Warburton extremely well you brought some of your florentine weather with you
23:49how delightful of you to come mrs. touchett how's your dear husband oh not as well as I told
23:55welcome to Lockley oh what a beautiful drive it was I've been having things done to the place
24:00hmm here and there miss Archer may I present my sisters to you uh Mildred and Constance Molyneux
24:08miss Isabel Archer it's a pleasure for us to see you here miss Archer oh it's a pleasure to be here
24:13well let's go in shall we lunch will soon be ready I'm sure the driver's given you all an appetite
24:18oh dear it really is a man disguised as a woman writing as a man no no no no a man disguised no a woman disguised as a man writing as a woman
24:38he's such a great radical oh dear yes he's immensely advanced do you think he would stand the test
24:43the test having to give all this up do you mean because of the expense I mean in the event of he
24:53and his class being abolished oh I'm speaking theoretically of cops I'm not sure it would be a
25:00good idea oh why don't we have coffee outside Warburton it's such a lovely afternoon if the ladies
25:06are agreeable I'm all for it
25:15is it true you live in a palace in Florence well it's a palace but it's a very minor one
25:21and does it really your house is very beautiful I do wish you'd come and stay for a while my sisters
25:28have taken a great fancy to you if that's any inducement I'm not in want of an inducement but
25:33I'm afraid I can't make engagements I'm quite in my aunt's hands pardon me if I say that I don't
25:39exactly believe that I'm sure that you can do whatever you want I'm sorry if I make that impression
25:45on you it's not a nice impression to make it has the merit of allowing me to hope to hope what that
25:52I may see more of you in the future oh for that pleasure I needn't be so emancipated good may I
26:00come and see you then next week well why what is there to prevent it I'm sure my uncle and my cousin
26:06I wasn't speaking of them as for myself I should be very glad to see you
26:14thank you I'm charmed when you say that you were very easily charmed then no I'm not easily charmed
26:23but you have charmed me Miss Archer
26:30perhaps we should join the others you also disturb me in what way well I have the feeling that you're
26:38always summing us up well you wouldn't necessarily lose by that perhaps not
26:43but stern justice is not what I'm looking for I'm not sure I like the picture you draw of me
26:50perhaps it's exaggerated but you intrigue me you strike me as having mysterious purposes vast designs
26:59and you strike me as being in a very fanciful frame of mind that's your right we should join the others
27:08I didn't know myself you look great the country agrees where's your uncle it was so good of him to invite me here he's upstairs he isn't very well
27:15oh what a shame never mind I'll see him later do you know I think you're losing your accent oh I don't think so
27:22I swear to god you sound positively English well all the better for me the more assimilated you are the more I can pick your brains
27:29now I'm counting on you for a genuine picture into the English
27:31now Henrietta you can forget all that my uncle would be horrified if he knew you were secretly taking notes
27:36if he knew it wouldn't be secret you know exactly what I mean
27:42Oh, I don't think so.
27:43I swear to God, you sound positively English.
27:45Well, all the better for me.
27:47The more assimilated you are, the more I can pick your brains.
27:50Now, I'm counting on you for a genuine picture into the English.
27:53Now, Henrietta, you can forget all that.
27:55My uncle would be horrified if he knew you were secretly taking notes.
27:59Well, if he knew, it wouldn't be secret.
28:00You know exactly what I mean.
28:02Now, just forget for a moment that you're a reporter from the interviewer
28:06and behave like a proper person.
28:08Tell me, did you have a good trip?
28:11It was very interesting.
28:13You always have interesting trips.
28:15In what way this time?
28:18Mr. Goodwood traveled out on the steamer with me.
28:23We talked a great deal about you.
28:26You talked a great deal about me.
28:30He's so very intense. He finds it hard to converse.
28:34He's come after you.
28:37Did he say so?
28:38Not in so many words.
28:41What did you say about me?
28:45Naturally, I said you were the finest person I knew.
28:48I'm sorry for that. He ought not to be encouraged.
28:51He needs a little encouragement.
28:55That is for me to decide.
28:56One is affected by one's surroundings.
29:07But not by Mr. Goodwood.
29:09Why don't you like him?
29:10I didn't say I didn't like him.
29:11Why don't you marry him then?
29:14One can't marry everyone one likes.
29:17I don't know.
29:21You always know.
29:23But you just don't always say.
29:26Now, do you think you'll do better?
29:29I don't think about it at all.
29:32He's very upright.
29:33And he's very handsome in a rugged kind of a way.
29:36I am sure he has very few weaknesses.
29:38Is that something against him?
29:41Now, you haven't met somebody else, have you?
29:43Heaven forbid you've met one of those effete English noblemen.
29:46They're not so feat as you imagine.
29:47Then you have.
29:49Henriette, do let us get off the subject of Mr. Goodwood.
29:54Well, before we do, you'd better have this letter he sent you.
30:09Naturally, I want to know what's in it.
30:16He's in England, because I am in England.
30:25He wants to see me for half an hour.
30:27And you'll see him?
30:30No.
30:35My dear friend, what do you want out of life?
30:41You too.
30:43Me too what?
30:44Well, you ask the same.
30:47Well, you want to see what the world has to offer.
30:55Or what I have to offer it.
31:04The girl affronting her destiny.
31:08I find it intriguing.
31:10You must be very bored to be intrigued by such a simple notion.
31:15No, there's something about her.
31:17It's hard to define.
31:19She's just a young girl on a trip to Europe.
31:23Don't make such a meal of it.
31:26Dear Mother,
31:27everything to you is as plain as batter pudding.
31:31Where you see bacon and egg pie,
31:33I see quiche Lorraine.
31:34The girl is more than just another tourist.
31:36No, she wouldn't be there if I hadn't brought her here.
31:38I don't know.
31:40Perhaps not here.
31:43She hasn't the means to travel, and that's all there is to it.
31:47What kind of destiny?
31:52Ah, if one knew that.
31:56Different, though.
31:58She'll get married like everyone else.
32:02That'll be the end of her.
32:03I hope not.
32:05She has a rare mind, my cousin.
32:07She won't be easily satisfied.
32:08She's too easily satisfied in her choice of friends.
32:11Miss Duckpole?
32:14Now, I can understand that.
32:15I have no doubt you would,
32:17but as for me,
32:19she talks too much and she talks too loud.
32:22Her friends must be her own affair, my dear.
32:25Oh, I wouldn't presume to advise her.
32:29Well, I might presume to advise her.
32:31After all, I'm her aunt and have a right to.
32:34But I don't expect her to follow it.
32:37That one follows her own and no one else's.
32:40If she saw only the people you like, my dear,
32:43she would see precious few.
32:44I'm very particular about the people I like,
32:47and I won't say different.
32:49Miss Duckpole's not one of them.
32:52She's a good deal too brash for my liking.
32:56And while we're talking of friends, Ralph,
32:59I don't mind saying I don't approve
33:01Lord Warburton waiting with her alone.
33:05Oh, come, mother.
33:06We're not more than 200 yards away.
33:09The distance is irrelevant.
33:12It's not proper and you should have gone with them.
33:14Well, if she's compromised,
33:16it must be the quickest compromise in history
33:17for they're on their way back.
33:19Now, don't tell me Warburton's another on your list, my dear.
33:23Oh, I like him well enough.
33:25But I didn't make the rules in this country
33:28and he should stick to them.
33:31Hello.
33:31Hello there.
33:33Can I tell you?
33:34Oh, please don't get up.
33:35You look so comfortable sitting there.
33:38Who's that with Isabel?
33:40Lord Warburton, a friend of mine you haven't met.
33:42Is he really a lord?
33:44Really and truly, Miss Duckpole.
33:46And cross my heart,
33:47he's as lordly a lord as you'll ever meet.
33:49Ah, no, you're making fun of me,
33:51which I don't mind at all.
33:53But I'm not so naive as to fall flat on my face
33:55at the sight of an English lord.
33:56Oh, heaven forbid.
33:57It's just that he'd make a good subject for an interview.
34:00Personally, I don't hold with him at all.
34:02If they were all done away with tomorrow,
34:04the world would hardly lose by it.
34:06Could say that about so many people, Miss Duckpole.
34:09Are you going in now, my dear?
34:11Yes.
34:12I think I shall join you.
34:13I do hope that you will forgive me, Miss Duckpole,
34:16but I am feeling rather tired.
34:18And I'm sure that you young people won't miss me.
34:21Now, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Touchett.
34:23We shall miss you very much.
34:25He's a very dear man.
34:32Now, do you always spend your time like this?
34:35Seldom in such agreeable company, Miss Duckpole.
34:38Well, you know what I mean.
34:39Without any regular occupation.
34:41Now, don't you have a conscience?
34:42None at all.
34:43Well, I advise you to cultivate one
34:45if you're going to go back to America.
34:47Oh, I shall stay very firmly away.
34:49Are you ashamed to show yourself?
34:52Well, I suppose if one has no conscience,
34:54one has no shame.
34:55Oh, Warburton.
34:57May I present Miss Stackpole,
34:59a genuine woman reporter?
35:01How do you do?
35:02I must admit,
35:02I've never met a lady reporter before.
35:04I've never met a lord.
35:06I do hope you'll let me come
35:07and interview you sometime.
35:09Anytime, Miss Stackpole.
35:10You've only to ask.
35:11But I thought you were here on a holiday.
35:13Oh, Miss Stackpole never rests.
35:15It's a working holiday.
35:15Yes, which means more work than holiday.
35:17Well, I enjoy my work,
35:19and so would you if you found some
35:21and put your heart in it.
35:22Now, you do have a heart, I suppose.
35:25I did until you came, Miss Stackpole,
35:27and then I lost it.
35:29Rubbish.
35:30Isabel,
35:30I find your cousin
35:31chiefly lacking in seriousness.
35:33It's a great fault.
35:34It's also his great charm.
35:36Well, if you believe that,
35:37you'll believe anything.
35:38He's not so,
35:39Lord Warburton.
35:40Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Stackpole.
35:44It was of absolutely no consequence.
35:46The thought of you, Miss Stackpole,
35:48making a remark of no consequence
35:49chills me.
35:50I'm sure it presages
35:51some world disaster.
35:53Well, if you'll excuse me,
35:55I'll be getting back.
35:56I shall keep you to your promise,
35:57Lord Warburton.
35:58I take care of my own promises,
36:00Miss Stackpole.
36:01We should be delighted
36:02to see you at Lockley at any time.
36:04Goodbye.
36:05And thank you
36:06for a most pleasant walk.
36:08No, Ralph,
36:09don't you budge.
36:10You sit still.
36:10Oh, I shall walk you
36:11to your horse.
36:12Oh, with your horse.
36:16He's very charming.
36:18He's in love with you.
36:19Lord Warburton?
36:20Mm.
36:21Oh, really, Henrietta.
36:24For some reason or another,
36:25you imagine the whole world
36:26to be in love with me.
36:28Fortunately,
36:29I have no such illusions.
36:30Nevertheless, he is.
36:32I can accept that.
36:33And I wish you wouldn't talk of it.
36:35I'm sure Lord Warburton
36:36has other things on his mind.
36:38I'm sure he does,
36:39but that doesn't prevent
36:40your being one of them.
36:41I refuse to discuss it.
36:43Tell me,
36:44did you do any writing
36:45this afternoon?
36:47Quite a lot.
36:49I'll read it to you.
36:53As the wheels
36:54of the open carriage
36:55clattered across
36:56the quaint old cobblestones
36:58of the charming
36:59early Tudor courtyard,
37:00my eyes lit upon
37:02the diamond-paint casement,
37:04sparkling in the pale
37:05English sun.
37:08I'm in love with her.
37:11I'm so much in love with her.
37:13Why tell me?
37:15Why tell me?
37:16She's your niece.
37:18Yes, but
37:18I'm not her guardian.
37:21Still,
37:21it was kind of you
37:22to think of it.
37:24I suppose
37:25you had better tell her.
37:27I intend to.
37:29That's why
37:30I came over this morning.
37:31Where is she?
37:37She's in the garden,
37:38writing letters,
37:39I think.
37:42Tell me,
37:43do you approve?
37:45Of her?
37:45Of me.
37:47I approve of you both,
37:49though really
37:49it's not my affair.
37:52You
37:53scarcely know her.
37:55But I know
37:55my feeling for her.
37:57I trust that.
37:58Truly,
38:00the English
38:00are the most romantic
38:02people in the world.
38:03Oh, why?
38:04Well, look at the situation.
38:06An English lord
38:07of considerable power
38:09and privilege
38:09meets a young American girl
38:11of no means
38:12and, to be frank,
38:13of no great beauty
38:14and...
38:14Oh, I think she's beautiful.
38:16Well, that just goes
38:17to prove my point.
38:19He falls in love
38:19with her at first sight
38:20and instead of
38:21toying with some
38:22other arrangement
38:23decides to marry her.
38:24If she'll have me.
38:27It's straight
38:28out of a novel.
38:30Well, I'll think
38:30better of novels
38:31in the future.
38:35Your friends
38:36won't applaud you
38:37for it, you know.
38:39But then one doesn't
38:39marry for the applause
38:40of one's friends.
38:42No.
38:43I often wondered
38:45why you'd never married.
38:48I've never wanted
38:49to marry
38:49just for the sake of it.
38:52It's an important
38:53decision to make.
38:55Still, you have made
38:56it very quickly.
38:58I think one either
38:59knows quickly
39:00or not at all.
39:02It is in decisions
39:04like this
39:04that our lives
39:05are shaped
39:06yet we make them
39:07so quickly.
39:11Well, I'm 35.
39:14There have been
39:14other opportunities
39:15but none that
39:17meant anything to me.
39:21As for differences
39:22and wealth
39:23well, it simply
39:25pleases me
39:25that I should be
39:26able to offer
39:27her things
39:27that she might
39:28otherwise not have had.
39:31Well, you've
39:32obviously thought
39:33it all out.
39:34You didn't come here
39:35to be talked
39:36out of it
39:36or into it.
39:38I have thought
39:40about it.
39:44For the last few
39:45days, I've thought
39:45of nothing else.
39:54Well, I'll go
39:55and see out.
39:56Yes, it is
39:57the best way.
39:58And if you do
39:59go now, you won't
40:00get waylaid
40:00by Miss Stackpole.
40:01There really is
40:09no alternative.
40:11You must ask her.
40:14Yes.
40:27Good morning.
40:29Did you sleep well?
40:31I heard you
40:33coughing during
40:34the night.
40:34And you didn't
40:35sleep so well.
40:36You know,
40:37I think your
40:38mother is right.
40:40You should
40:40live abroad.
40:42Was that
40:42Warburton here
40:43just now?
40:44Yes.
40:45Where'd he go?
40:46Out into
40:47the garden.
40:49Whatever for?
40:51He wants
40:52to speak
40:52to your cousin.
40:53Isabel,
40:54what about?
41:01I see.
41:08So that's it.
41:10What?
41:11That's what it was
41:12to be.
41:14Are you glad?
41:18I don't know.
41:19No.
41:21We assume, of course,
41:22she'll accept him.
41:23Yes.
41:29I wonder if she will.
41:31I wonder if she will.
41:31I wonder if she will.
41:32I never see.
41:38Do you
41:39see what you
41:39mean?
41:40You
41:40see what they want.
41:41As you
41:41know.
41:49Maybe
41:51go
