00:30PIANO PLAYS
01:00Will you give me a lump of sugar?
01:17Yes, you may take one.
01:19But I don't think that sugar is good for little boys.
01:22Oh, blazes, it's hard.
01:23Take care you don't hurt your teeth.
01:25I haven't gotten many teeth to hurt.
01:27My mother counted them last night.
01:29And another came out right afterwards.
01:33She said she'd slap me if any more came out.
01:36She's absolutely right.
01:38She's got to give me some candy then.
01:39I can't get any candy here.
01:41Any American candy.
01:43American candy is the best candy.
01:46Are you an American man?
01:48Yes.
01:49American men are the best men.
01:52You don't sound like an American man.
01:55Well, I came over here at your age.
01:57I went to school in England.
01:58Those English schools sure do funny things to a person's voice.
02:03Here comes my sister.
02:05She's an American girl.
02:06American girls are the best girls.
02:08My sister ain't.
02:10She's always blowing at me.
02:11I imagine that is your fault, not hers.
02:14Randolph, what are you doing?
02:15I'm going up the house.
02:16This is the way.
02:18That's the way to come down.
02:19He's an American man.
02:21I guess you'd better be quiet.
02:23This young gentleman and I have made acquaintance.
02:26I should like to know where you got that pole from.
02:28I bought it.
02:29You don't mean to say you're going to take it to Italy.
02:31Yes, I am too.
02:33Well, I guess you'd better leave it someplace.
02:36Are you going to Italy?
02:40Yes, sir.
02:43Are you going over to the Saint-Plan?
02:45Oh, I don't know.
02:46Is that some mountain?
02:48Randolph, what mountain are we going over to Italy?
02:52I don't know.
02:52I don't want to go to Italy.
02:54I want to go home to America.
02:55Oh, Italy is a beautiful place.
02:57Can you get candy there?
02:59I hope not.
03:00You've had enough candy.
03:02And Mother thinks so, too.
03:03I haven't had any for ever so long.
03:06For a hundred weeks.
03:09Would you care to sit down?
03:12Oh, no, thank you.
03:13I like to stand up and walk around.
03:18Are you enjoying Switzerland?
03:21Yes, I guess so.
03:24We're going down to Rome for the winter.
03:26Oh, you'll enjoy Rome.
03:27It's a woman's city.
03:29Are you really an American?
03:31Made over by the British.
03:32We're from Schenectady, New York State, if you know where that is.
03:36Tell me your name, boy.
03:39Randolph C. Miller.
03:40And I'll tell you her name.
03:42You better wait till you're asked.
03:43I should very much like to know your name.
03:46Her name is Daisy Miller.
03:48But that's not her real name.
03:50Her real name on her cards is Annie P. Miller.
03:53Ask him his name.
03:54My father's name is Ezra B. Miller.
03:57My father ain't in Europe.
03:58He's in a better place than Europe.
04:01He's in Schenectady.
04:02My father's rich.
04:04You bet.
04:07Well, he doesn't like Europe.
04:12He's got no one to play with.
04:14Mother's going to get him a teacher when we get to Italy.
04:16Can you get good teachers in Italy?
04:19Very good, I should think.
04:20He ought to learn some more.
04:21He's terribly smart.
04:23Yes, he seems very smart.
04:25I think Europe is perfectly sweet.
04:27The only thing I don't like is the society.
04:29There doesn't seem to be any society.
04:31Well, if there is, I don't know where it keeps itself.
04:34Do you?
04:35I live in Geneva.
04:37We are a very sober-sided community.
04:39Oh, well, I suppose there must be some society somewhere.
04:42But I haven't seen any of it.
04:43And I'm very fond of society.
04:45I've always had a great deal of it in New York as well as in Schenectady.
04:49I used to go to New York in the winter.
04:51In New York, I had lots of society.
04:53Last winter, I had 17 dinners given me, and three of them were by gentlemen.
04:59Fancy.
05:00I have more friends in New York than in Schenectady.
05:03More young lady friends and more gentleman friends, too.
05:06I've always had a great deal of gentleman's society.
05:11Yes.
05:11Well, I'm not surprised.
05:16Have you been to the old castle across the lake?
05:19The Chateau de Gion, you mean?
05:20Yes, in the past, more than once.
05:23You've been there, too, I suppose.
05:25No.
05:25I want to go there dreadfully.
05:28And I wouldn't dream of leaving here without having seen that old castle.
05:32It's a pretty excursion and very easy to make.
05:34Yes, we were going to go there last week.
05:36Only Randolph said he didn't want to go.
05:38Randolph doesn't think much of old Cassius.
05:40I'm afraid he's a little philistine.
05:41All he wants to do is to remain behind in the hotel, and Mother's afraid to leave him alone.
05:48And our courier, Eugenio, he won't stay with him.
05:51So, we haven't been to see many places.
05:54You call your courier by his first name?
05:57Well, he's a human being, I suppose, like the rest of us.
06:01And he decides what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do.
06:04Of course.
06:09I don't suppose you would stay with him?
06:12I would much rather go to Chillon with you.
06:15With me?
06:17With you and your mother.
06:19Oh, Mother won't go.
06:20Mother doesn't like to ride around in the afternoon.
06:23But do you really want to go up there?
06:25Most earnestly.
06:26Oh, then I think it can be done.
06:29If Mother will stay with Randolph, then I guess Eugenio will stay, too.
06:32Though he is the most beautiful, vestidious man I ever saw.
06:36Then you and I will be free to go to the castle.
06:39Oh, Eugenio!
06:42I have the honor to inform Mademoiselle that luncheon is upon the table.
06:46See you here, Eugenio.
06:48I am going to the castle.
06:50Anyway.
06:51The castle de Chillon, Mademoiselle.
06:55Mademoiselle has made arrangements.
06:57You won't back out.
06:58I shall not be happy till we go.
07:00Oh, and you really are staying at this hotel, and you really are an American.
07:06I shall have the honor to present you to my aunt, who will tell you all about me.
07:10I can see that Europe makes a man dangerous.
07:25It was none of my making, I do assure you.
07:28On the contrary.
07:29I couldn't be more perplexed.
07:32And I admit it, charmed also.
07:33Why perplexed?
07:35Well, she came straight at me.
07:38Planted herself casually in front of me like some charming flower swaying in the breeze.
07:44You should have joined me for breakfast.
07:46Well, your aunt would have a fit if we'd had breakfast together unchaperoned.
07:50Well, you are a respectable married woman, and we are second cousins.
07:53As to the first, it makes no difference.
07:54And as to the second, nobody knows it.
07:59No, you're quite right.
08:00I'd overlooked that.
08:02Are all pretty girls from New York State like that these days?
08:06Or is she designing?
08:07A bold, bad young lady?
08:09No, it doesn't your instinct tell you.
08:11That's the deuce of it.
08:12I've been away from America too long.
08:15I find I've lost my feeling for the American tone.
08:17Well, what would you have said had you been a Swiss or a French young lady?
08:21Ah, then I should have been a no doubt.
08:23But this is a new type to me.
08:25Is it national or just personal to Miss Daisy Miller?
08:29Oh, you'll have to ask your aunt.
08:30In these matters, she's the oracle.
08:33Good morning, Frederick.
08:34Aunt Constance, good morning.
08:37They are very common.
08:39Mother and daughter both.
08:42They're the sort of Americans one does one's national duty abroad by not accepting.
08:48One's duty?
08:48By one's disapproval, one demonstrates to foreigners that Americans are not all of that type.
08:55She is very pretty.
08:57Of course she's pretty.
08:59But she's very common.
09:02Well, I suppose I see what you mean.
09:03She has that charming look they all have.
09:06I can't think where they pick it up.
09:08And she dresses to perfection.
09:10As a man, you have no conception how well she dresses.
09:14I can't think where they get their taste.
09:16My dear aunt, she is not, after all, a Comanche savage.
09:20She is a young lady who is on familiar terms with her mama's courier.
09:24When the mother's just as bad, they treat him like a familiar friend, like a gentleman.
09:29I shouldn't wonder if he dines with them.
09:31Very likely they've never seen a man with such good manners, such fine clothes, so like a gentleman.
09:39He probably corresponds to the young lady's idea of a count.
09:44He sits with them in the evening in the garden.
09:49I think he even smokes.
09:51Well, I am not a courier, and yet she was perfectly charming to me.
09:56I have taken the liberty of telling her that I would introduce her to my admirable aunt.
10:01I am much obliged to you.
10:02It was to guarantee my respectability.
10:05And who, pray, will guarantee hers?
10:08Oh, you are cruel.
10:09She is a very nice girl.
10:12Well, you don't say that as though you believed it.
10:14Well, she is not very cultivated, but she is wonderfully pretty and, in short, very nice.
10:21To prove that I believe it, I'm going to take her to the Chateau de Chillon.
10:25And how long have you known her, pray, when this interesting project was formed?
10:29You haven't been 24 hours in the hotel.
10:32I'd known her half an hour.
10:34Dear me, what a dreadful girl.
10:38But aren't they all like that these days, the young girls in America?
10:41Well, I should like to suppose that my granddaughters were not like that.
10:47You mean you won't let the poor girl know you, then?
10:50Is it literally true that she's going to the Chateau with you?
10:54I think she fully intends it.
10:57Then, my dear Frederick, I must decline the honor of her acquaintance.
11:00I am old enough, thank heaven, to be shocked.
11:11Miss Miller!
11:17Good evening!
11:18I declare am I glad to see you.
11:20I've never known the time drags so.
11:23Have you been all alone?
11:24I've been walking around with Mother, but Mother gets tired walking around.
11:29Has she gone to bed?
11:30No, she doesn't like to go to bed.
11:32She doesn't sleep.
11:33She says she doesn't know how she lives.
11:35She's dreadfully nervous.
11:37I guess she sleeps more than she thinks she does.
11:39She's trying to get Randolph off to go to bed.
11:42But he doesn't like to go to bed either.
11:44Well, let us hope she can persuade him.
11:46I know who your aunt is.
11:49She's Mrs. Costello.
11:50I got it from the chambermaid.
11:52Did you indeed?
11:54Yes.
11:54She said she is very quiet, comme il faut.
11:57She speaks to no one and dines only in her room.
12:00And she has a headache every two days.
12:03I think that's a lovely description.
12:05Especially the headache.
12:07It's certainly very comprehensive.
12:08Oh, I should want to meet her ever so much.
12:11I just knew what your aunt would be like.
12:13I knew I should like her.
12:15She would be very exclusive.
12:17I'd like a lady to be exclusive.
12:19I'm dying to be exclusive myself.
12:22Well, I guess we are exclusive, Mother and I.
12:26We don't speak to everyone.
12:27At least, they don't speak to us.
12:29I suppose that's about the same thing.
12:33Anyway, I should be ever so glad to know your aunt.
12:37Oh, she would be most happy, but I'm afraid those headaches.
12:43Oh, but I suppose she doesn't have a headache every day.
12:47She tells me she does.
12:49She doesn't want to know me.
12:53Why don't you say so?
12:55You needn't be afraid.
12:56I'm not afraid.
12:57My dear young lady, she knows no one.
12:59It's her wretched health.
13:01You needn't be afraid.
13:02Why should she want to know me?
13:04Gracious.
13:05She is exclusive.
13:07Miss Miller.
13:07Oh, there's Mother.
13:08I guess she didn't get Randolph off to go to bed.
13:11Are you sure it's your mother?
13:12Well, I guess I know my own mother, especially where she's wearing my shawl.
13:17She's always wearing my things.
13:19Perhaps she doesn't see you.
13:20No, she won't come because she sees you.
13:23Ah, then I'd better leave you.
13:25Oh, no.
13:27Come on.
13:28I'm afraid she doesn't approve of my being with you.
13:31She's just shy.
13:32She's always shy when I introduce a gentleman friend to her.
13:35But I do insist on introducing them.
13:38Always.
13:39Come on.
13:42To introduce me, you must first know my name.
13:45It's Frederick Spencer Winterbourne.
13:49Gracious.
13:49I can't say all that.
13:51Mother.
13:53This is Mr. Frederick Winterbourne.
13:55What are you doing poking around out here?
13:58I don't know.
13:59I shouldn't think you'd want that shawl.
14:02Well, I do.
14:03Did you get Randolph off to go to bed?
14:05No, I couldn't.
14:06He wants to talk to the waiter.
14:08He likes to talk to that waiter.
14:10I was telling Mr. Winterbourne.
14:12Anyhow, he isn't as bad as he was at Dover.
14:15And what happened at Dover?
14:17Why, he wouldn't go to sleep at all.
14:19I guess he stayed up all night in the public parlor.
14:22His real tiresome.
14:23Well, Daisy Miller.
14:25I shouldn't think you'd want to talk against your own brother.
14:28Well, he wouldn't go to that castle.
14:30I'm going there with Mr. Winterbourne.
14:37Yes, your daughter has kindly allowed me the honor to be her guide.
14:41Well, of course, I don't know.
14:51I have never been to that castle.
14:55It's a pity you shouldn't go.
14:58We've been thinking ever so much about going, but it seems as if we couldn't.
15:03Daisy, of course.
15:07She wants to go around.
15:10Yes, so she told me.
15:13There's a lady here.
15:15She says she shouldn't think we'd want to see the castles here.
15:19She should think that we'd rather wait till we got to Italy.
15:23She is very well worth seeing.
15:25Well, if Daisy feels up to it, it seems as if there was nothing she wouldn't undertake.
15:35You are not disposed, madam, to undertake the trip yourself.
15:44I guess she'd better go alone.
15:48Mr. Winterbourne!
15:50Mademoiselle!
15:51Don't you want to take me out in a boat?
15:53What now?
15:54Of course.
15:55Well, Annie Miller.
15:59Oh, I beg you, madam, to let her go.
16:01I shouldn't think she'd want to.
16:03I should think she'd rather stay indoors.
16:06I'm sure Mr. Winterbourne wants to take me.
16:09Oh, he's so awfully devoted.
16:11I shall row you over to Sheon in the Starlight.
16:14I don't believe that.
16:15You're far too straight-laced.
16:17Well, I want to go out in a boat now.
16:20There are a dozen boats moored at the landing place below those steps.
16:25If you would give me the honor to take my arm, we will go and select one of them.
16:28Oh, I love a gentleman to be formal.
16:32Oh, I assure you, it's a formal offer.
16:34I bet myself I'd make you say something like that.
16:38Oh, I'm afraid you're chafing me.
16:40Oh, oh, no, no.
16:44Do then let me give you a row.
16:46Oh, that's quite lovely the way you say that.
16:49It will be still more lovely to do it.
16:52Oh, yes.
16:53Yes, it will be lovely.
16:55I should think that you'd better find out what time it is.
16:59It is 11 o'clock, madame.
17:01Oh, Eugenio, I am going out in a boat.
17:05At 11 o'clock, mademoiselle.
17:06I am going this very minute.
17:08Oh, do tell her she can't.
17:10I think you had better not go out in a boat, mademoiselle.
17:13Oh, I suppose you don't think it's proper.
17:16Does mademoiselle propose to go alone?
17:18Oh, no, with this gentleman.
17:23As mademoiselle wishes.
17:26Oh, I thought you were going to make a fuss.
17:31I don't care to go now.
17:34I will make a fuss if you don't go.
17:37That's all I wanted, was just a little fuss.
17:42Master Randolph has gone to bed, madame.
17:44Oh, Daisy, now we can go, too.
17:48Oh, good night.
17:52Um, I hope you're disappointed.
17:54Or disgusted.
17:56Or something.
17:58I'm puzzled.
18:00Well, I hope it doesn't keep you away.
18:04You're a solemn at a lamppost.
18:17What on earth are you so grave about?
18:19Oh, I grave.
18:20I had a feeling I was grinning from ear to ear.
18:23Well, if that's a grin, I should hate to see you, Scar.
18:26You look as though you'll bring me back from a funeral.
18:28Instead of that heavenly old castle of Chinon.
18:31Ah, Chillon.
18:33Why do you wear such somber cravettes?
18:36I had never thought much about it.
18:38You ought to wear something much brighter.
18:40A handsome blue would be nice.
18:42Like the color of a sailor's eyes.
18:44Should you like me to dance the hornpipe on the deck?
18:46Pray do.
18:47And I'll carry around your hat.
18:49It will help pay the expenses of your journey.
18:51Now, that ought to cheer up a banker.
18:53I really was never better pleased in my life.
18:59I like to make you say things like that.
19:02You really are a queer mixture.
19:05I'm glad I amuse you.
19:08All the same, I may have done you a disservice in missing the earlier boat back.
19:12Oh, why?
19:13It will be said that you should never have gone alone with me in the first place.
19:17And then to come home in the dark across a moonlit lake, Geneva?
19:20Oh, people over here say things like everyone does.
19:24They have their customs.
19:26And I have mine.
19:27I am an American, not a European.
19:33I'm sure I don't know what you are.
19:36I am a centaur.
19:39Oh, what on earth is that?
19:42Half man, half horse.
19:44The horse is American, the man European.
19:47I'm sure I don't know where you get all your learning from.
19:50I never saw a man who knew so much.
19:52You'll hurt your brain.
19:55Shall you never go back to America?
19:58Oh, why do you say?
19:59Well, what is the attraction over here?
20:01I'm used to it.
20:03But there's nothing to keep you here.
20:05A banker is practically in the leisure class.
20:08On the contrary, my responsibilities keep me extremely busy.
20:12As a matter of fact, I have to return to Geneva in a day or two to attend to them.
20:16Oh, you're leaving there, then?
20:18I'm afraid I must.
20:19Oh, bother.
20:22Funny old steamer.
20:24I am here.
20:26Why on earth?
20:27Going back to the dear old chateau.
20:31I've taken quite a feeling for that chateau.
20:34And I know already, it will be one of the things I will always remember.
20:39Your explanations were so good.
20:44You're very kind.
20:46And you are extraordinary.
20:49You don't really mean to say that you're going back to Geneva.
20:57It's a melancholy fact, but I must return there tomorrow.
20:59Well, Mr. Wintermore, I think you're horrid.
21:05How can you say such dreadful things just at the last?
21:10Yes, how is she?
21:11Who is who?
21:13Why, this mysterious charmer you're hurrying back to see in Geneva.
21:17I don't know to whom you refer.
21:18I don't know to whom you refer.
21:20Does she never allow you more than three days off the leash at a time?
21:23Well, there's no one of that kind.
21:25Doesn't she give you a vacation in summer?
21:27There's no one so overworked they can't get leave to go off somewhere at this season.
21:31I'm blessed if I know what you mean.
21:34I suppose.
21:36If you stay another day, she'll come after you.
21:39Oh, do stay till Friday.
21:40Then I can go down to the landing and see her arrive.
21:44I don't know what to say.
21:46Why, I've never known a man in my life who was so defenseless against teasing.
21:52I'm sure, I'm sure I don't know what they do to you in English schools and German universities.
21:58They do very well.
21:59Do they really do?
22:01Very well.
22:02I know of no institution in existence which we could equip a man to deal with you.
22:06Very well, then.
22:07I will relent and leave you be if you promise me something.
22:11What?
22:12I want your solemn promise to come down to Rome in the fall.
22:16That is an easy promise to make.
22:18My cousin, Mrs. Walker, has taken an apartment in Rome for the winter for my aunt,
22:22and she has asked me to see them.
22:28I don't want you to come for them.
22:30I don't want you to come for me.
22:33I shall certainly come.
22:35Well, then.
22:41They have been here barely two months.
22:45Already they are the talk of Rome.
22:47Oh?
22:47The girl goes about alone with foreigners.
22:50She has picked up half a dozen of the regular Roman fortune hunters,
22:56and she takes them about to people's houses.
22:59When she comes to a party, she brings with her a gentleman with a good deal of manner and a wonderful smile.
23:05Well, they're very dreadful people.
23:08They are very ignorant, very innocent only.
23:11Depend upon it, they are not bad.
23:13They are hopelessly vulgar.
23:16And that's enough for me.
23:17I still think I shall call on them.
23:19Of course.
23:21A man may know everyone.
23:23And men are welcome to the privilege.
23:25Where are they to be found?
23:26I've not the least idea.
23:29Your cousin receives them.
23:30I can't think why.
23:31That's the difference between us.
23:32I believe the girl can be redeemed.
23:35Rubbish.
23:36Does she want to be?
23:38That will never be her wish.
23:40That's not the point.
23:42One cannot simply stand by and watch a fellow countrywoman go smash.
23:46She can no longer be considered as a fellow countrywoman.
23:49Oh, it's not as bad as that, is it?
23:53If you've had a picture of her, combing her hair and gazing pensively from a turret window, awaiting your arrival, you're deceiving yourself.
24:03Oh, she's been racketing around and with some very third-rate people.
24:08I have no image of any kind.
24:10You're seeking her out all the same.
24:12It's a matter of courtesy.
24:15Do you know where I may call on them?
24:17You may ask them yourself.
24:21Signora Mila.
24:24I know you.
24:26How have you been keeping here?
24:27Tolerably well, thank you.
24:29And you?
24:29Oh, well, you know, Rome.
24:32Well, I declare, look who's here.
24:35Hello, Mrs. Walker.
24:37I told you I should come, you know.
24:40Well, I didn't believe it.
24:42Thank you very much.
24:44You might have come to see me.
24:46I only arrived yesterday.
24:48Well, I don't believe that.
24:50We've got a bigger place than this.
24:52It's all gold on the walls.
24:54Oh, I told you if I were to bring you, you'd say something.
24:57I told you.
24:59I tell you, sir, it is bigger.
25:02Randolph.
25:03I hope you have been well since we parted at Griffey.
25:05Not very well, sir.
25:07She's got the dyspepsia.
25:09I've got it too.
25:10Father always had it, but I've got it worst.
25:12I suffer from the liver.
25:15I think it's this climate.
25:17It's less bracing than Schenectady.
25:19It's rather oppressive.
25:21And, of course, there's a great deal of the Roman fever about.
25:25Oh, I think if one takes sensible precautions...
25:28It seems as if Daisy would catch every fever that was going when she was a child.
25:34She seemed to have a positive leaning toward them.
25:38And then, of course, we have Dr. Davis here.
25:41Dr. Davis?
25:43At Schenectady, he stands at the very top.
25:47They think everything of him.
25:49Are you pleased with Rome?
25:53Well, I must say, I am disappointed.
25:58Daisy likes it, of course.
26:00She's quite carried away with Rome.
26:03It's on account of the society.
26:05The society's splendid.
26:07Oh, she goes round everywhere.
26:10I must say, they have been sociable.
26:13They have taken her right in.
26:15And then, of course, she knows a great many gentlemen.
26:20Oh, she thinks there's nothing like Rome.
26:23And, of course, it's a great deal pleasanter for a young lady when she knows plenty of gentlemen.
26:30I've been telling Mrs. Walker how mean you were.
26:34And what is the evidence you have offered?
26:36Why, you were awfully mean to me at Vevey.
26:39You wouldn't do anything.
26:41You wouldn't stay there when I asked you.
26:43My dear young lady, have I come all the way to Rome to encounter your reproaches?
26:48Just to hear him say that.
26:50Did you ever hear anything so quaint?
26:52So quaint, my dear?
26:54Why didn't you come to see me?
26:56You can't get out of that.
26:59I have had the honor of telling you that I've only just stepped out of the train.
27:02You must have stayed in the train a good while after it stopped.
27:07Well, I suppose you were asleep.
27:09I had intended to see you at the earliest opportunity.
27:12I came here today to get your address.
27:15Well, well, I don't know.
27:17Mrs. Walker, there's something I want to tell you.
27:19You know I'm going to your party.
27:20I'm delighted to hear it.
27:22And I have a lovely dress.
27:23I'm very sure of that.
27:24Well, I want to ask you a favor.
27:26Well, permission to bring a friend.
27:27I shall be happy to see any of your friends.
27:30Oh, they're not my friends.
27:32I never spoke to them.
27:34It is an intimate friend of mine, Mr. Giovanelli.
27:37He is an Italian.
27:39He is a great friend of mine and is the handsomest man in the world.
27:43Except for Mr. Winterborn here.
27:44He thinks ever so much of Americans.
27:46And he's perfectly lovely.
27:52I shall be happy to see Mr. Giovanelli.
27:55Well, I guess we'd better get back to the hotel.
28:00Oh, you can go back to the hotel, Mother.
28:02I'm going to have a walk on the pincio.
28:04Oh?
28:05She's going to walk on Mr. Giovanelli.
28:07Alone, my dear.
28:07At this hour.
28:08You'll catch the fever as sure as you live.
28:12Remember what Dr. Davis told you.
28:14Give her some medicine before she goes.
28:16I will not be alone.
28:17I will be with a friend.
28:19Your friend won't keep you from getting the fever.
28:21Is it Mr. Giovanelli?
28:23The beautiful, beautiful Giovanelli.
28:27My dear young friend, please don't go walking along the pincio at this hour with a beautiful
28:32Italian with the whole world watching.
28:35Oh, gracious.
28:36I don't want to do anything improper.
28:38If Mr. Winterborn were as polite as he makes out to be, he would offer to go with me.
28:42Well, that would only partly solve the problem.
28:45You would simply be roaming about on a fashionable public thoroughfare with two gentlemen instead
28:50of one.
28:51Well, well, I'm sure.
28:53I don't know.
28:53I always thought the company of a gentleman was the finest protection a young lady could
28:58have.
28:58Very well.
28:59I will go with you.
29:00Oh.
29:01But I certainly shan't help you find your Italian, whatever his name is.
29:05Very well, then.
29:06I will find him without you.
29:08You certainly won't leave me.
29:10Are you afraid you'll get run over by all those carriages?
29:14So if you find him, you really intend to speak to this fellow, do you?
29:17Well, you don't suppose I'm going to communicate by signs?
29:20Pray understand, then, that I intend to remain with you.
29:23I don't like the way you say that.
29:24You're too imperious.
29:26I apologize for my style, but I hope that my meaning is clear.
29:29I have never let a gentleman dictate to me or interfere with anything that I do.
29:34I think you have made a mistake.
29:36You should sometimes listen to a gentleman, the right one.
29:39Oh, but I listen to gentlemen all the time.
29:43Tell me, when we meet Mr. Giovanelli, if he is the right one?
29:47I can tell you now, he is not.
29:51In fact, he is not a gentleman at all, only a clever imitation of one.
29:55Oh, dear.
29:56He's a third-rate artist or musician or something of that sort.
29:59Is he handsome?
30:00Well, he's good-looking, I suppose, but good heavens, a nice girl ought to be able to see past that.
30:05I must say, I think you were wrong to leave her there with him.
30:08I couldn't stand it, that's all.
30:09It really is dreadful.
30:11Fifty people will have seen her roaming about with you two men and now alone with the Italian.
30:16I think it's a pity to make too much fuss about it.
30:18Well, it's a pity to let the girl ruin herself.
30:20She is very innocent.
30:22She is very crazy.
30:24And did you ever see anything so imbecile as her mother?
30:28Not a word of restraint ever from her.
30:31I've ordered the carriage.
30:33I propose to go and find Daisy.
30:35And do what?
30:36I shall ask her to get in without Giovanelli.
30:39Then I shall drive her about on the Pichio for half an hour so that the world may see she is not running absolutely wild.
30:45Oh, then I shall take her safely home.
30:47I don't think it's a very happy thought, but you can try.
30:49And with what result?
30:51She refused, oh, always with that sweet smile, even to consider getting into the carriage.
30:57Did you not tell her it is not the custom here for young ladies to walk with gentlemen alone?
31:03I did.
31:04What did she answer?
31:05She said if it wasn't, then it certainly ought to be.
31:08I told her that society made the rules and that society knew a great deal more about it than she did.
31:14And?
31:15She laughed and walked off back to Mr. Giovanelli.
31:18All that was not very clever of you.
31:20Well, in such a case, I don't wish to be clever.
31:23I wish to be earnest.
31:26Well, your earnestness evidently only offended her and put her off.
31:29Well, just as well.
31:30Well, if she's perfectly determined to compromise herself, the sooner one knows it, the better.
31:35One can act accordingly.
31:37I suspect she meant no harm.
31:38She is naturally indelicate.
31:42Take that example this morning.
31:44How long had you known her at Vervey?
31:47Two days, wasn't it?
31:48Fancy, then, her making it a personal matter that you should have left the place.
31:52My instincts were right about that girl from the first.
31:55First, Frederick, I must ask you to cease your relations with her.
32:01Not to flirt with her.
32:03To give her no further opportunity to involve you.
32:07In short, to leave her alone.
32:11I'm afraid I can't do that.
32:13I like her extremely.
32:15All the more reason you shouldn't help her to make a scandal.
32:18There will be nothing scandalous in my attentions to her.
32:21There certainly will be in the way she takes them.
32:27Shall you still receive her at your party?
32:30I don't see that I have any choice at this stage.
32:34I have the direst forebodings about it.
32:38As you see, I've come all alone.
32:41I'm so frightened.
32:42It's the first time I've been to a party all alone.
32:46Especially in this country.
32:47But Daisy just pushed me off all by myself.
32:51Does not your daughter intend to favor us with her society?
32:54Oh, well, Daisy's all dressed.
32:56She got dressed on purpose before dinner.
32:59But she's got that friend of hers there.
33:02That Italian, the gentleman that she wanted to bring.
33:06They got going on the piano.
33:10Seems like they'd never leave off.
33:12Mr. Giovinelli plays splendidly.
33:14But I guess they'll come before very long.
33:18I'm sorry.
33:19She should come in that spirit.
33:21Well, I told her there was no use getting dressed before dinner
33:25if she was going to sit for three hours.
33:27I didn't see the use in her putting on such a dress as that
33:30if she was going to sit around with Mr. Giovinelli.
33:35Oh, hello, Mrs. Schlendero.
33:37This is most horrible.
33:48It's after 11 o'clock.
33:50This is her revenge for my having ventured to criticize.
33:55When she comes, I will not speak to her.
33:57If you do speak to her, I shall never speak to you again.
34:01I think you all read far too much into that young lady's actions.
34:04I'm sure it's mostly thoughtlessness.
34:07I'm afraid you thought I never was coming.
34:09So I sent Mother off ahead to tell you
34:11I wanted Mr. Giovinelli to practice a few things before we came.
34:15He plays beautifully and I want you to ask him to play.
34:17I'm sorry you're so late.
34:19This is Mr. Giovinelli.
34:21He's got the most lovely touch
34:23and he knows the most charming set of pieces for the piano.
34:26I made him go over them this evening on purpose.
34:28We had the greatest time at the hotel.
34:31Is there anyone here I know?
34:32I'm sure everyone here knows you.
34:36How do you do?
34:38Enchanted to meet you.
34:40Rome is very fond of its American colony.
34:43This is Mr. Winterborn,
34:44a most severe young man owing to his chilly British upbringing.
34:48How do you do?
34:49I'm sure Miss Miller-Sanders you.
34:51I have always found the English very warm.
34:54Well, Mr. Giovinelli,
34:55I wonder you don't go straight to the piano and astonish us.
34:58You've been practicing so hard.
35:01With your permission, Signora.
35:03You must be very lonesome.
35:19Lonesome?
35:20You're always by yourself.
35:22Can't you find anyone to be kind to you?
35:24I am not as fortunate as your companion.
35:27I know why you say that.
35:28Because you think I go round with him too much.
35:31Everybody thinks so, if you care to know.
35:34Of course I care to know.
35:35But I don't believe it.
35:37They're only pretending to be shocked.
35:39They don't give a straw what I do.
35:40I think you'll find that they do care.
35:42They will show it disagreeably.
35:44How disagreeably?
35:46Well, haven't you noticed?
35:47I've noticed you, but then I noticed you were as stiff as an umbrella the first time I saw you, Mr. Lampost.
35:55You would find that I am not as stiff as some others.
35:58It's a pity these rooms are so small.
36:00We can't dance.
36:02I'm not sorry we can't dance.
36:03I don't dance.
36:04Of course you don't dance.
36:07You're too stiff.
36:08You're very kind.
36:09Did you ever hear anything so cool as that Mrs. Walker wanting me to get into her carriage and drop poor Mr. Giovanelli under the pretext it was proper?
36:19It would have been proper.
36:20It would have been most unkind.
36:21That's what it would have been.
36:23He's been talking about that walk for ten days.
36:25He should not have talked about it at all.
36:28He would never have proposed to a young lady of this country to walk about the streets with him.
36:31I, thank goodness, am not a young lady of this country.
36:34I think the young ladies of this country have a terrible, pokey time of it, from what I can learn.
36:39And I don't see why I should change my habits for them.
36:42I'm afraid your habits are those of a flirt.
36:45Of course they are.
36:47I'm a fearful, frightful flirt.
36:50But when did you ever hear of a nice girl who was not?
36:53Ah, but then I suppose you will tell me now that I'm not a nice girl.
36:59I think you're a very nice girl.
37:01But I wish that you would flirt with me only.
37:05Ah, thank you.
37:06Thank you so much.
37:08You are the lost man I should think of flirting with, as I've had the pleasure to inform you.
37:13You are too stiff.
37:15You say that too often.
37:17If I had the sweet hope of making you angry, I would say it again.
37:22Oh, please don't do that.
37:23When I'm angry, I'm stiffer than ever.
37:25Well, if you won't flirt with me, do cease at least to flirt with your friend over there at the piano.
37:31They don't understand these things here.
37:34I thought they understood nothing else.
37:37Not in young, unmarried women.
37:40Flirting is an American custom.
37:41It doesn't exist here.
37:42So that when you are seen out alone in public with Mr. Giovanelli without your mother...
37:48Gracious woman.
37:49Though you may be flirting, Mr. Giovanelli is not.
37:53He means something else.
37:56He at least is not preaching to me.
37:58And if you want very much to know, we are neither of us flirting.
38:02We are two good friends for that.
38:03Two very intimate friends.
38:06Ah.
38:07If you're in love with him, that's another matter.
38:14Mr. Giovanelli, at least, never says such disagreeable things to me.
38:21Won't you come into the other room and have some tea?
38:24It has never occurred to Mr. Winterbourne to offer me tea.
38:30I have offered you advice.
38:34I prefer weak tea.
38:41He is very handsome.
38:43Tell me in a barber's window.
38:45It's easy to see how it is.
38:48She thinks him the most elegant man in the world.
38:51The finest gentleman.
38:52He's even better than the courier.
38:54What does he do, this latter-day Apollo?
38:59He seems to be a perfectly respectable little man.
39:02Lawyer, in a small way.
39:04But he doesn't move in the first circles.
39:08Oh, I wonder now.
39:10Would you wonder what's happened to poor Mr. Winterbourne?
39:13You mean the earnest young gentleman to whom you introduced me?
39:17Earnest?
39:17That's why he's a block of stone.
39:19He's like a statue on your trivay fountain, or whatever you could.
39:23I'm told he's very serious.
39:26They say he's a banker with grave matters on his mind.
39:29An undertaker has grave matters on his mind.
39:36Undertaker?
39:37Grave?
39:37They have been together constantly all evening.
39:43She's hardly spoken to another soul.
39:45She's a deliberate contempt for custom and decency.
39:48Do you still hold to your belief that she can be brought round?
39:52Oh, it looks as though Mr. Winterbourne has decided to take a hand.
39:58If you ask me, my nephew is far gone himself on that turbulent little man.
40:04Oh, you underestimate Frederick.
40:06He has quality.
40:08Miss Miller?
40:09Well, Mr. Winterbourne, I don't know that I should wish a private word with you.
40:14I would like to include Mr. Giovanelli in any delightful exchanges we may have.
40:20I'm sure that Mr. Giovanelli is too much of a gentleman to remain where he feels that he would be intruding.
40:25Why?
40:26You are the intruder.
40:27It is yours, gentlemen, that is in question.
40:36At your service, sir.
40:38Now, sir, what wonders have you to impart to me?
40:41You are causing a scandal.
40:44Dear, I wonder how I'm doing there.
40:47You would be wise to circulate even at this late hour.
40:50But I shan't find anyone I'd like to talk to half as much as Mr. Giovanelli.
40:54We cannot always please ourselves in these matters.
40:57Well, I don't know.
40:58I should think the world might be a happier place if we all pleased ourselves just a little bit more.
41:03You, for instance, Mr. Winterbourne.
41:05I am well enough as I am.
41:07You are too cautious for real pleasure.
41:10I declare you disapprove of half the world.
41:14I did not come here to duel with you.
41:15I came here to warn you as a friend.
41:18And what is your warning?
41:19To conform.
41:21If you go on like this, you will not be forgiven.
41:24Oh, no.
41:25Forgiveness?
41:26Yes, that assumes I've done a wrong.
41:28I guess we have different ideas about that.
41:31When I first met you, I was puzzled.
41:35Then I decided that you were very innocent.
41:38Now?
41:40Now?
41:41I don't know what you are.
41:45It is very, very kind of you to devote to me so much thought.
41:50Please do not continue to do so.
41:53I'm sure I should survive without it.
41:56Mr. Giovanelli, should you like to leave now?
42:00As you wish, signorina.
42:02We say our goodbye?
42:03Mm-hmm.
42:03Yes.
42:06Oh, it's been so nice.
42:08Well, good night, Mrs. Walker.
42:26We've had a beautiful evening.
42:29You see, if I let Daisy come to parties without me,
42:32I certainly don't want her to go away without me.
42:36Goodbye, Mrs. Miller.
42:37Goodbye.
42:38That was cruel.
42:42She never enters my drawing room again.
42:48She ain't here.
42:50That's her bedroom too there, but she ain't in it.
42:53Is she here much?
42:54Not much.
42:55She rolls around more than ever just now.
42:58Will you please tell her that I was here?
43:00I told her last time.
43:02What did you say?
43:03She said, well...
43:05You know how she says that.
43:07Well...
43:07Yes.
43:09You got any candy?
43:11No.
43:12I'm sorry.
43:12She has become quite reckless.
43:17Flirting with any man she can pick up,
43:20sitting in corners with strange Italians,
43:23dancing all night with the same partners,
43:26and receiving visitors at 11 o'clock at night.
43:29Her mother is there.
43:30Her mother goes away when visitors come.
43:33I'm told at their hotel a smile goes round among the servants when a gentleman comes and asks for Miss Miller.
43:41The servants be hanged.
43:43You are driving the poor girl to it, you and the rest of the women.
43:46What would you wish?
43:48That we receive a person who flouts every decent rule.
43:53You refused to receive her before she had broken any rule.
43:55Oh, she's gone out somewhere with Mr. Givinelli.
44:00She's always going round with Mr. Givinelli.
44:03No others?
44:04Oh, some I guess, but it's mostly Mr. Givinelli.
44:08Your persistence on her behalf is beginning to get you talked about too, Frederick.
44:22They say a banker should have more fruitful occupations
44:25than championing a wild little baggage like Annie P. Miller.
44:29To the devil!
44:30With them and what they say!
44:32Frederick!
44:33Is the world to be run by some anonymous confounded committee?
44:36And I'm sorry to say it, Emily, but if you won't help, to the devil with you too!
44:41Frederick!
44:44Don't you ever close doors!
44:46We are to bond!
44:47Anybody could walk in here!
44:49But it isn't anybody, it's you, the funny-talking English-American man.
44:54You got any sugar?
44:55Someday, Randolph, you're going to have to learn that you're not a horse.
44:59Is your sister here?
45:00I guess so.
45:01Who is it?
45:02Well, you!
45:04It's the great unbending Mr. Wenterborn.
45:08Mr. Lampost.
45:09I have been calling on you.
45:11I can't think why on earth you would.
45:14I wanted to tell you.
45:16To explain that I had nothing whatever to do with what happened to you at Mrs. Walker's the other night.
45:21I didn't expect it.
45:22I was powerless to prevent it.
45:24I don't know why you should be so exercised about it.
45:27I am not.
45:29Ah, I'm glad to hear it.
45:31I thought that it might have made you angry.
45:33Reckless.
45:34First, I did think you were connected with it.
45:37But then I thought, no, you couldn't be.
45:40I'm glad.
45:42All the same.
45:43You did say something to me, not kind.
45:47I doubt Catherine.
45:48I deny it utterly.
45:49Yes, you did.
45:51What, pray?
45:52You said that you were not sure about me.
45:54That you did not know what I was.
45:57I was angry too.
46:00Are you angry now?
46:02No.
46:03And have you reached a decision as to what I am?
46:14Yes, I think I have.
46:15Francesco, I want to go and see the Coliseum by moonlight.
46:23The Coliseum?
46:24Yes, by moonlight.
46:26But, signorina, the Coliseum...
46:27Oh, come on!
46:28It's not a place to visit at night, too.
46:31Come on, I want to go now!
46:31Couldn't we go tomorrow, signorina?
46:45Signor Winterborn.
47:07Mr. Giovanelli.
47:12I come from signorina Miller.
47:14She is very ill.
47:16She has a Roman fever.
47:18Malaria?
47:19Yes.
47:21That night, you remember, at the hotel with a little boy,
47:24she demanded that I take her to see the Coliseum.
47:28But when was the signorina ever prudent?
47:31And when did she not get away?
47:33She insisted on staying there for hours.
47:35But it's a plague-pitted night.
47:38You must have been mad.
47:39The signorina said she was feeling much stronger than she looked,
47:42and, in any case, she would take some pills from her famous Dr. Davis
47:45the minute we got back, just in case.
47:48Where is she now?
47:49She's still at the hotel in Rome.
47:51She's too ill to be moved.
47:53Does she ask for me?
47:55Yes.
47:56She's in a state of delirium.
47:58She repeats constantly your name.
48:00Frederick, Frederick Spencer Winniborff.
48:09That was his name.
48:10Oh, he was stiff, stiff as a part of her.
48:13Professor Von Kegel, I telegraphed you from Geneva.
48:15Yes, sir.
48:16Oh, Mr. Wilbur.
48:17I declare, formless a judge and in a lady's bedroom.
48:21Miss Miller, Daisy, I thought that was a stupid thing to do to get the fever.
48:28I'm very angry with you.
48:29You would always have been angry with me.
48:32No.
48:33Yes, you would.
48:34We get into a certain style, and we can't change.
48:38That's the trouble.
48:39You can't get out of it.
48:40It works for all the men, except for the one you really, really want.
48:45I want you, my dear.
48:47That is why you must get well very soon.
48:50There's something I want you to have.
48:52Your recovery will suit me extremely well.
48:55I declare the way you say those things.
48:58It's in the trunk.
48:59It's in the trunk.
49:00The lock's jammed.
49:02Don't you remember, dear?
49:03No, no, no, Mr. Giovenelli.
49:05He did it for me.
49:06He did it.
49:07It's here.
49:12That's what I was doing that night.
49:14I was picking the lock.
49:26Show me.
49:27Show me.
49:29Show me.
49:32Oh.
49:33Oh, it suits you.
49:35I knew it would.
49:36I knew it would.
49:38I shall wear it on our first day out together.
49:41Oh, I waited.
49:42I waited for you to come to Rome.
49:43Oh, I wanted to give it to you so much.
49:46And somehow, I couldn't, because you frightened me so.
49:51I frightened you.
49:52Yes.
49:53Oh, but I'm not frightened anymore.
49:56No.
49:57Oh, dear.
49:58Dear.
49:59Yeah, Mr. Lampo.
50:00She was the most beautiful young woman I have ever known.
50:20And the most innocent.
