George, 10th Duke of Bristol, and his friend Richard Halton are poverty-stricken members of the British upper class. George has squandered his money on women. They attend a party at George's London home, which has been let to the young, wealthy and attractive American Helen Hale. At the soiree, George is rude to Maria Wislack, a rich widow with whom he is acquainted. Richard is genuinely in love with Maria, but will not tell her so because of his poverty. George is oblivious to the fact that Helen is in love with him, and finds the thought of marriage distasteful. Maria grows tired of waiting for Richard to make his feelings known and proposes that they spend a month together as man and wife in Scotland "on approval" to see how they fare. George, much to their discomfort, invites himself along. They are soon joined by Helen.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00The End
00:01:30The End
00:01:59Oh dear, is this another war picture?
00:02:08Let's go back to the quiet and peaceful days before the war.
00:02:11So this is peace.
00:02:18So these are the tranquil days of 1939.
00:02:21Yes, for this is the age of speed and noise, so much like war you hardly notice the difference.
00:02:25This is the day of athletic sports of all kinds.
00:02:34This is the day of devotion to the graceful art of dancing.
00:02:37This is the day of worship of the beautiful wide open spaces and of giving thanks for all the blessings of the green and lovely countryside.
00:02:52This is 1939.
00:02:56No, this isn't what we want either.
00:02:59Although it's very pleasant.
00:03:02Let's go back further still to Grandmama's day.
00:03:04Don't you think it was so much nicer, so much more stately and dignified, lazy days and gentle evenings undisturbed by any harsh note of reality.
00:03:15Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware.
00:03:34Yes, these were the days.
00:03:37Grandmama knew that her place was in the home, although Grandpapa could go in for a stern life of dangerous sport.
00:03:46Women were women, and they didn't forget it, even if men forgot it.
00:03:51And when they had finished their embroidery and needed a thrill of excitement, they could always unpick it and start again, while their menfolk roved abroad, a wheel, a wheel.
00:04:04And you needn't think they never had their moments.
00:04:06A young man was more or less expected to sow his wild oats, always providing that there was no harvest.
00:04:14But young ladies knew nothing of all that.
00:04:17They lived in a world apart until the day of true romance, the never-to-be-forgotten moment in a young girl's life.
00:04:26So different from modern times.
00:04:28Before the days of petrol rationing, you moderns looked upon the motor car as the most useful inventions.
00:04:34It's hard to believe that the biggest thrill a Victorian girl got out of a carriage, was this.
00:04:44You can't get into much trouble doing that.
00:04:47Very little remains undiscovered about the modern girl.
00:04:49You can see she's beautiful.
00:04:51You know she is no fool.
00:04:53But there used to be a song,
00:04:55Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever.
00:04:58But she was clever enough to be good.
00:04:59And the result, you must admit, was elegant and charming.
00:05:07If she seemed at times a little shy,
00:05:09it was because where the dashing, stronger sex were concerned, she had to be so modest.
00:05:13She is gown for the theatre.
00:05:17And I wonder what it would be like, that play she was going to see.
00:05:20Would it be dull and stuffy?
00:05:23Or would she hide her blushes in the programme?
00:05:25They say it's very modern, and terribly daring.
00:05:31Mm-hmm.
00:05:32Perhaps we're going to find out just why they were called the naughty nineties.
00:05:34I don't think he would know.
00:05:40Nor would she.
00:05:42Nor she.
00:05:43No, I'm sure she wouldn't.
00:05:45But he might.
00:05:47You see, he's a duke.
00:05:48And if you were a duke in the nineties, you could do almost anything.
00:05:51Handsome!
00:05:52A cab would stop for you without even considering that you could scarcely pay the fare.
00:05:57Bristol House.
00:05:59To Bristol House.
00:06:00Historic townhouse of successive generations of the Dukes of Bristol.
00:06:03Bristol, where many a lovely Duchess of Bristol had been at home for all the brilliant functions of the London season.
00:06:09Attended by kings and princesses.
00:06:11By the cultured, the famous and the aristocratic.
00:06:13And even, occasionally, by her husband.
00:06:16But George is a bachelor.
00:06:18And very hard up.
00:06:20And so this ninth duke of Bristol.
00:06:22Tenth!
00:06:22And so this tenth duke of Bristol finds himself in the unusual position of having accepted an invitation to a ball at his own house.
00:06:29Most remarkable.
00:06:33Tell me, Your Grace, how did you lose your money?
00:06:37Women.
00:06:38Yes, I know.
00:06:38I mean your big money.
00:06:40Big women.
00:06:44A gay and charming scene.
00:06:47But who is rich enough to be able to rent this great house from a duke in need of money?
00:06:51Complete with his incomparable butler, Parks, and a devoted staff of servants.
00:06:55Only someone exceedingly wealthy.
00:06:56But could anyone so wealthy be also young and beautiful?
00:07:01Surely only an American.
00:07:05Well, here you would say would be a bride for George who would satisfy all his trustees' requirements.
00:07:10And indeed, most of George's also.
00:07:11But only in his dreams, lying in bed in the morning, can George contemplate the idea of marriage.
00:07:19In his waking hours, the thought fills him with horror.
00:07:22He scarcely sees her.
00:07:23Good evening, George.
00:07:29How nice of you to come.
00:07:30Not at all, Helen.
00:07:32Not at all.
00:07:32Well, there you are.
00:07:42All this wealth and gaiety after that would taste more acid than the pickles from which Helen's father built his fortune.
00:07:48As it does, indeed, to Richard Halton, who hasn't the advantage of wealth to sweeten the taste.
00:07:53Being a friend of George is a burden enough for any man to bear.
00:07:57And for a man of the very highest breeding and the very lowest income,
00:08:00life is one long attempt to accomplish the impossible.
00:08:11Dammit, sir, that's not crooked.
00:08:14Ah!
00:08:14Poor George, it must be very sad coming back to your own house as a guest.
00:08:24Better return as a guest than remain as a host to a broker's man.
00:08:27There's nothing for it, George.
00:08:28We must make some money.
00:08:30Try to figure I'm a duke, Richard, and talk sense.
00:08:31Could help.
00:08:32We'll drink to the woman I love.
00:08:34Don't be disgusting.
00:08:36Look, here she comes.
00:08:38The one on the left.
00:08:40Do you mean to tell me that you love Mariah Wislack,
00:08:43having no respect for age?
00:08:45George, we must join them.
00:08:54Well, here we are again.
00:08:56Somehow I'm able to control my excitement.
00:08:59Splendid.
00:08:59Shall I get you some fruit cup?
00:09:01Or perhaps our dear, revered, old friend, Mrs. Wislack,
00:09:05will lend us her silver.
00:09:06I'm now the idea of revered, or old friend, and I'll find you...
00:09:09Lordy, Lordy, that's the third time you've spoken harshly to me tonight.
00:09:13Don't do that.
00:09:14Do you know how I dislike it?
00:09:17You had a little more brain.
00:09:18You've been in an asylum.
00:09:21Richard has either enjoyed your joke immensely,
00:09:23or has eaten something indigestible.
00:09:24One of these days,
00:09:25I shall write to the Times on present-day manners.
00:09:27That should be highly interesting.
00:09:29I think it will cause a sensation.
00:09:31That you can write a letter at all should cause a great sensation.
00:09:34I forgive you, Mariah.
00:09:35Old friends are old friends.
00:09:36George, if you use the word old to me again,
00:09:39I shall throw something at you.
00:09:40Very well, Mariah.
00:09:41But when I reached the age of 41,
00:09:43I was not ashamed.
00:09:44My sister, who will be 41 in August, isn't?
00:09:47You beast!
00:09:52Bounder!
00:09:52Am I a bounder, Helen?
00:10:02I don't think so, George.
00:10:03Not really.
00:10:05No, I don't think so either.
00:10:07Good evening, Helen.
00:10:08Good evening, Angela.
00:10:09Good evening, George.
00:10:10Good evening, Angela.
00:10:12I didn't know you knew her.
00:10:14Oh, yes.
00:10:14We have a sneering acquaintance.
00:10:16Really?
00:10:16She's also strongly fancied by my trustees.
00:10:19Oh, Helen.
00:10:20Richard, is Mariah very upset?
00:10:23Oh, terribly.
00:10:23I couldn't do anything with her.
00:10:24Would you go to her?
00:10:25Of course.
00:10:26Excuse me, George.
00:10:28I suppose it amuses you to have made a woman cry.
00:10:31I said nothing that could possibly make her cry.
00:10:33Didn't you, in a snaring way,
00:10:34accuse her of being 41?
00:10:36I did, but she's not crying because I said she's 41.
00:10:39She's crying because she is 41.
00:10:43Well, if you must know,
00:10:44I'm the same age as his sister.
00:10:46That damn woman can't keep her mouth shut about anything.
00:10:48Oh, how I dislike him.
00:10:53I'm sorry because I like him so much.
00:10:55Yes, but you wouldn't marry him.
00:10:57How far is it in a handsome from here
00:10:59to St. George's Hannover Square?
00:11:00In 20 minutes, why?
00:11:02If he asked me to marry him tonight,
00:11:04I'd run it in five.
00:11:06But if he did marry you,
00:11:07it would only be for your money.
00:11:08Well, why not?
00:11:09Plenty of women have lived with him for his.
00:11:11I've loved her for more years than I care to remember.
00:11:15Do you mean to tell me that you've loved that old...
00:11:17Silence.
00:11:18You were about to call her by a name
00:11:19that would have prevented me ever speaking to you again.
00:11:22Have a drink.
00:11:23Or have you had too many?
00:11:25I will have a drink,
00:11:26and I've not had too many.
00:11:27Richard, old boy,
00:11:28I love you as a brother,
00:11:29but I must say I would rather see you dead.
00:11:31George, I warn you.
00:11:32If you say another word against Mrs. Whislack,
00:11:34our friendship is at an end.
00:11:36Very well.
00:11:37But you can't stop me wishing you were dead.
00:11:39Are you addressing me, sir?
00:11:41I see your point.
00:11:42You'd never marry again,
00:11:44not even if you loved someone terribly.
00:11:46Well, I should require to know a great deal more about my next.
00:11:49Well, how can you until you marry him?
00:11:51I should take him away with me for a month alone.
00:11:54Take him away?
00:11:55On approval?
00:11:57Take a man away with...
00:12:00But, Mariah, how can you think of such a thing?
00:12:03Oh, Helen,
00:12:04I thought you Americans were unconventional.
00:12:07Well, I don't think we'd go as far as that.
00:12:09No?
00:12:11Well, our men are different.
00:12:12Perhaps Englishmen are less amorous,
00:12:14less, uh, enterprising.
00:12:17I shouldn't rely too much on that.
00:12:19Did you know her late husband, Arthur Whislack?
00:12:22Did I know?
00:12:23Did I watch him with murder in my heart,
00:12:25treating that divine creature with cruelty and neglect,
00:12:28and eventually die of drink?
00:12:29He hated drink.
00:12:30Then why did he?
00:12:31He chose it as the most agreeable way of being unconscious
00:12:34while waiting his release.
00:12:35George, I warn you, if you said another word...
00:12:37Richard, old boy,
00:12:38if I have in any way hurt your feelings, I apologize.
00:12:40Have a cigar.
00:12:42Now I know your apologies, Sincere.
00:12:45Is it yours?
00:12:46Certainly not.
00:12:47It was provided by our hostess.
00:12:49But, Mariah,
00:12:49is it fair to expose a man to such temptation?
00:12:52Suppose his love for you overcame him,
00:12:54and he should attempt to, uh...
00:12:56I should, of course, take a revolver.
00:12:58Yes, but suppose you came to care for him.
00:13:00Then my aim might not be so accurate.
00:13:02But what is more important?
00:13:03Have you asked her if she loves you?
00:13:05How can I?
00:13:06My income is $300 a year.
00:13:09Hers is $25,000.
00:13:11Oh, now I take everything back.
00:13:13You have given me a reason why you are right to love her.
00:13:15You suggesting that I love her for the money?
00:13:17I'm suggesting it's a reason you should.
00:13:19What do you think you could learn about a man in a month?
00:13:21As much as I wish.
00:13:22But Mariah, the scandal.
00:13:24Oh, I should choose someone less inclined to gossip than most men.
00:13:28Mariah?
00:13:28I believe you've got someone in mind.
00:13:31Well, as a matter of fact,
00:13:32there is a man in your party tonight
00:13:33who within a month might surprise me.
00:13:35There's nothing void, Richard.
00:13:36You must propose to her.
00:13:38I haven't the courage.
00:13:39Ever tried brandy?
00:13:41One day, I sat with a bottle of brandy in front of me
00:13:44and recited to it the language I should use
00:13:46when asking her to be my wife.
00:13:48With the result that when I went into the room,
00:13:50I was unable even to wish her good evening.
00:13:51Ah, bad luck.
00:13:53But, Richard, do as I say,
00:13:55and I give you my words that a month from tonight
00:13:57you'll pop into a bed with the cry,
00:13:59Mariah, here I am.
00:14:01George, that is an observation
00:14:03which I consider most unsuitable,
00:14:05either here or in the place you suggest.
00:14:07I'm speaking metaphorically.
00:14:09I trust, sir.
00:14:10You must have courage, Richard.
00:14:11Think what marriage to Mariah means to you.
00:14:13Someone to be with, to talk to.
00:14:15No money cares.
00:14:16No cares of any kind.
00:14:18It's not for me.
00:14:19Think of the little ones
00:14:20prattling up and down the room.
00:14:22No, no, I take that back.
00:14:23Why?
00:14:25Very well, if you insist.
00:14:26My dear George,
00:14:27married life to me without children is...
00:14:29Are you laughing, George?
00:14:31No, no, I've got a cold coming up.
00:14:33It's the sort of thing you would laugh at.
00:14:37One other little thing.
00:14:39Please be polite to Mariah.
00:14:40Mmm, that's not a little thing.
00:14:41But I will help you, Richard.
00:14:43I'll even warm Mariah up
00:14:44for you to make your proposal.
00:14:46Cigars in the drawing
00:14:47will not impress Mariah favourably.
00:14:51Number 16, then,
00:14:52after the lancers.
00:14:53Charmed, I'm sure.
00:14:58Mariah.
00:14:59Well?
00:15:00Tonight I apparently said something
00:15:02quite unintentionally
00:15:03that hurt your feelings.
00:15:04Oh, well?
00:15:06I'm sorry.
00:15:07Obviously you have been drinking.
00:15:09Why?
00:15:10Otherwise you would never have apologised.
00:15:15I admit I have been drinking.
00:15:17I drank because I was depressed.
00:15:19Richard depressed me.
00:15:20Hope.
00:15:22Richard has been pointing out to me
00:15:23my limitations,
00:15:24but so gently,
00:15:25so understandingly,
00:15:27that I was compelled to listen.
00:15:29Hope.
00:15:30Until tonight,
00:15:31I never knew the real Richard,
00:15:33dear Richard.
00:15:34Hope.
00:15:35Have you lost your voice
00:15:36by any chance?
00:15:37No.
00:15:38Why?
00:15:38It's unlike you,
00:15:39only to be able to say,
00:15:40oh, George.
00:15:42Ah, there you are.
00:15:42Let's all have some supper.
00:15:46You see?
00:15:51Would you mind, Dr. Graham?
00:15:53Watch out.
00:15:54May we join you?
00:15:55Oh, yes, yes, certainly.
00:15:56I'm just going when I finish this.
00:16:00Dr. Graham,
00:16:01famous to us, best, Mr.
00:16:02A great success, apparently.
00:16:04We were talking of Richard.
00:16:06You were talking of Richard?
00:16:08Of his gentleness,
00:16:09his love of little children.
00:16:11How many has he got?
00:16:12Richard is a bachelor.
00:16:13That has not answered my question.
00:16:15None.
00:16:15How do you know?
00:16:16Well, he's not that kind of a man.
00:16:17I trust not.
00:16:22And it is through, Richard,
00:16:23that tonight I have a feeling
00:16:24I'd like to get nearer to nature.
00:16:26To walk on grass
00:16:27to hear the birds sing
00:16:29their simple songs of love.
00:16:31Birds don't sing at night.
00:16:33Perhaps not for you, Mariah.
00:16:34Would it amuse you
00:16:35to accompany me, Helen?
00:16:37I'd love to, George.
00:16:38Well, how about supper?
00:16:39We are to move to eat.
00:16:43Besides, there's a buffet
00:16:44in the Marquis.
00:16:45I have not forgotten that.
00:16:47Just what were you saying
00:16:48to George?
00:16:50I was telling him
00:16:51of the need men have
00:16:53for the affection
00:16:54of a good woman.
00:16:56Go on.
00:16:58I drew a little picture
00:16:59of returning
00:17:00to one's home
00:17:01in the evening.
00:17:02Where'd you been
00:17:02in the afternoon?
00:17:04Oh, nowhere in particular.
00:17:07I see.
00:17:09Go on.
00:17:11And there,
00:17:12seated at one's dinner table,
00:17:14a divine lady.
00:17:16To whom you would address
00:17:17a few kind words
00:17:17before going out
00:17:18to dine with someone else.
00:17:20Oh, not at all.
00:17:21I should stay
00:17:22and dine with her.
00:17:23That's original.
00:17:25I've never really thanked you
00:17:26for letting me rent
00:17:27this lovely house of yours.
00:17:28I've never really thanked you
00:17:29for, uh, renting it.
00:17:31Somehow I hate the thought
00:17:33of leaving it
00:17:33when I go back to America.
00:17:35Somehow so do I.
00:17:36You know, Helen,
00:17:37I am not appreciated.
00:17:40You easily could be.
00:17:41But how?
00:17:43Well, don't you ever want
00:17:44to do anything for anyone?
00:17:46My dear,
00:17:46the most that can be expected
00:17:47from any duke
00:17:48is to think.
00:17:50Well, then,
00:17:51if you feel you're not
00:17:52being appreciated,
00:17:53why don't you marry?
00:17:54Ah, that.
00:17:56I will tell you.
00:17:58Feeling as you do, Richard,
00:17:59I want you never married.
00:18:01Ah.
00:18:02Meaning?
00:18:02Well, the love of a good woman
00:18:05is not for me.
00:18:06Then why not try
00:18:07one of the others?
00:18:09There's plenty to choose from.
00:18:10Oh, no, you don't understand.
00:18:13There's only one woman,
00:18:14and she's too good,
00:18:16too beautiful,
00:18:17too noble for such as me.
00:18:18Oh, shut up.
00:18:20I'm sorry.
00:18:22How much longer
00:18:23are you going on
00:18:23beating about the bush?
00:18:25Why not come out in the open
00:18:26like a man
00:18:26and say, Mariah,
00:18:27I love you.
00:18:28Will you or won't you
00:18:29be my wife?
00:18:30I had no idea you knew.
00:18:32Go on, then.
00:18:33Say it.
00:18:33Say it.
00:18:38You have a sweet voice, Helen.
00:18:40Thank you, George.
00:18:41But you seldom sing.
00:18:43That is a great accomplishment.
00:18:46You were talking of marriage.
00:18:48Alas, yes.
00:18:50It has no attraction for you?
00:18:51On the contrary,
00:18:52the husbands of no less
00:18:53than three women I've known
00:18:54have threatened me with it.
00:18:56No, I meant some unmarried girl
00:18:58who was fond of you
00:19:00and might make you happy.
00:19:01I've often thought of marriage
00:19:02with distaste.
00:19:05But there is one woman.
00:19:06Yes.
00:19:07The one woman in the world.
00:19:09Beautiful, charming,
00:19:11gracious, intelligent.
00:19:13You'd marry her?
00:19:14Happily.
00:19:15But where is she?
00:19:17Where?
00:19:20Where, indeed.
00:19:21Where?
00:19:21Where?
00:19:22Where is she?
00:19:22Here we go.
00:19:23Here we go.
00:19:23Here we go.
00:19:23Here we go.
00:19:24Here we go.
00:19:24Now tell me, Richard,
00:19:25do you love me?
00:19:26With all my heart,
00:19:27with all my...
00:19:28I love you embraces all that.
00:19:29Now then,
00:19:30is your object matrimony
00:19:32or the other thing?
00:19:34I'd give 10 years of my life
00:19:36to be your husband.
00:19:36Thank you, but I have no desire that our marriage ceremony should take the form of a burial service.
00:19:41Richard, I should like you to know I'm very fond of you.
00:19:46But I can't believe it. Why should you care for me?
00:19:48You'd be wise not to let me dwell on that.
00:19:51This is too wonderful.
00:19:52Don't get excited. You're getting the best part first.
00:19:55Now, get up and sit down.
00:19:59Now, let's be practical. My income is £25,000 a year.
00:20:04Many congratulations.
00:20:06Thank you. What's yours?
00:20:08Mine.
00:20:10Well, it varies. Sometimes it's up, and then again it's down.
00:20:14Mm-hmm. What is it when it's up?
00:20:17Well, you know, money means so little to me, I really haven't an idea.
00:20:21Where do you bank?
00:20:22Anywhere. I simply don't care.
00:20:24Fortunately, I could provide for both of us, in the style to which I'm accustomed.
00:20:28I love you.
00:20:30Thank you. Now then, what is today?
00:20:32Tuesday.
00:20:33Very well. On Friday, we'll leave on the midday train for Scotland.
00:20:37Where, to all intents and purposes, we shall spend a month together as married people.
00:20:43For us?
00:20:44Well?
00:20:45You and I spend a month together alone as married people.
00:20:48Yes.
00:20:49You're not serious?
00:20:50I am.
00:20:52But what an extremely good idea.
00:20:54What an intensely good idea.
00:20:57But this is perfectly delightful, and the courage of it all.
00:21:01And if at the end of the month I find that we both feel alike, as it were, we will get married.
00:21:07If not, we'll have had a grand time and no harm done.
00:21:10None.
00:21:11Oh, I really must congratulate you. I never remember looking forward to anything so much, and the courage of it.
00:21:17And the courage of it.
00:21:18Oh, if there were only more women in the world like you, what a happy world the world would be.
00:21:26Really, George.
00:21:27But I feel Richard needs my protection.
00:21:30Oh, one more thing.
00:21:31Every night you'll hear the clock in the hall strike eleven.
00:21:34Oh, now that's original.
00:21:36I really must congratulate you again.
00:21:38Which will be the signal for you to start putting on your coat.
00:21:41With what idea?
00:21:42With the idea of going out.
00:21:43Oh, but I should have had all the exercise I need during the day.
00:21:46Oh, I know, the dog.
00:21:48On the table in the hall you'll find a lantern, which will enable you to find your way down to the boat so that you can row across to the mainland.
00:21:55Why should I want to go to the mainland?
00:21:57That is where you'll be sleeping.
00:22:00Oh, so I don't sleep in the house?
00:22:04You do not.
00:22:05Oh, how about wet nights?
00:22:08I should advise you to bring a raincoat.
00:22:10Raincoat?
00:22:12You know, I must say I feel you'd learn a great deal more about me if I were actually in the house the whole time.
00:22:18After all, I hope I'm a gentleman.
00:22:20That I should be able to decide in a month's time.
00:22:23Ah, number fifteen.
00:22:24Oh, let's sit this one out.
00:22:26Nonsense.
00:22:27I never sit out the lancers.
00:22:28Your arm, Richard.
00:22:39Very hot.
00:22:40What do you mean?
00:22:41So you and she go off alone for a month together to see if you'll be all right married?
00:22:46Married.
00:22:47I dislike your phraseology, but the answer is we do.
00:22:51What is George talking about?
00:22:53He's a bad influence, that man.
00:22:55I think they're only chancy.
00:22:56They look quite interesting.
00:22:57I think they're only chancy.
00:22:58They look quite interesting.
00:22:59a man and a dog.
00:23:00OK, no.
00:23:01We'll find a man of these things.
00:23:03We'll find a man for the best winefiil.
00:23:04Here you go.
00:23:06I think he's all right.
00:23:07Here you go.
00:23:08Wherever you go.
00:23:09There you go.
00:23:10I'll take a look.
00:23:11There you go.
00:23:12I'll take a look.
00:23:13I sleep in a hotel on the mainland.
00:23:35You mean you leave her every night?
00:23:43Very hot.
00:23:57What a lie.
00:24:07You're not suggesting that I should stay in the same house at night alone, Macdonald?
00:24:11Why not?
00:24:12How dare you!
00:24:26I suppose it's raining.
00:24:29I've got of that. I'm taking a raincoat.
00:24:33You haven't got one?
00:24:34No, but Bruce Harvey has.
00:24:36What are you two up to?
00:24:42Plotting, Mariah. Just plotting.
00:24:44I trust it's not too violent for you, Mariah.
00:24:56No, I love it.
00:24:58Good.
00:25:04Don't get down, George!
00:25:05No, George!
00:25:06Stop!
00:25:07Handsome!
00:25:17There's one.
00:25:18There's one.
00:25:28I'm sorry to disturb you. What is your name?
00:25:30Orish Oggs.
00:25:31Orish Oggs.
00:25:32I'm delighted.
00:25:33This is Mr. Richard Holton.
00:25:34Mr. Orish Oggs.
00:25:35How do you do?
00:25:36Pleased to meet you.
00:25:37Will you guard that for me?
00:25:38Yes, certainly.
00:25:39Thank you very much.
00:25:40Hurry, Richard.
00:25:41Hurry.
00:25:42Here you go.
00:25:43Here you go.
00:25:44Here you go.
00:25:45Here you go.
00:25:46Here you go.
00:25:47Richard.
00:25:48Yeah?
00:25:49Do you really think you can convince Mariah that you'll be all right married?
00:26:04I am all right.
00:26:05Of course, you know, you really ought to stay in the house with her.
00:26:07Mariah will never consent.
00:26:08I wish you wouldn't refer to it again.
00:26:09Very well.
00:26:10But I still can't help wishing you were dead.
00:26:17Richard.
00:26:18It's a nice party.
00:26:19Yes, very nice.
00:26:21I forgot to say goodnight to Parks.
00:26:23Who's Parks?
00:26:24My butler.
00:26:25Let my house to the season.
00:26:26Let Parks to the season.
00:26:28Lord.
00:26:29Yes?
00:26:30Order your back and say goodnight to him.
00:26:31That's right.
00:26:32Round we go.
00:26:33Here you go.
00:26:40Is Mr. Parks below?
00:26:41Yes, Your Grace.
00:26:42Good.
00:26:43I wish to visit him.
00:26:44We have arrived, Mr. Odd, sir.
00:26:47Ooh.
00:26:48That'll be half a crown.
00:26:49Half a crown.
00:26:50Here's the sovereign change.
00:26:51Say goodnight to your horse for me, will you?
00:26:53Good evening, Pants.
00:26:55Good morning.
00:26:56You're welcome.
00:26:57Good evening.
00:26:59I would have to go.
00:27:01Sir. Thank you.
00:27:07That'll be half a crown. Half a crown.
00:27:09Here's a sovereign change. Say goodnight to your horse for me, will you?
00:27:20Good evening, Pants. Good morning, Your Grace.
00:27:22Mr. Halton and I would like to take a drink with you. Pleasure.
00:27:25Your room's somewhere at the back, isn't it? Yes, Your Grace.
00:27:27Near the cellar. You'll find Madam has made very few changes, Your Grace.
00:27:30That's very proper. Good evening, Mrs. Daggett.
00:27:33Good evening, Your Grace. How are you getting on with your new mystery?
00:27:35Well, things are very queer these days.
00:27:38Queer? Hardly any noise. No.
00:27:40Hardly any drinking. No.
00:27:42And hardly any... Oh, I'm surprised.
00:27:44And we get paid regular. That's very queer.
00:27:51You weren't here in my time, were you? No, Your Grace.
00:27:54Pity. You beast. That's very handsome of you, Pants.
00:27:59I know your Grace's preference.
00:28:04Have another drink?
00:28:06Definitely.
00:28:08Good.
00:28:10Whistle.
00:28:12Settle.
00:28:15Whistle.
00:28:17Settle.
00:28:20We'll drink tomorrow.
00:28:21That's nice of you, George.
00:28:22Yeah, I'll talk. There you are.
00:28:23Thank you, George.
00:28:24To Mirai.
00:28:25To Mirai.
00:28:26I still can't help wishing you were dead.
00:28:30Good help.
00:28:32This whisky tastes funny.
00:28:33You have no palate, please again.
00:28:36It's McQuilchie's Highland Deca.
00:28:40All right. I apologise.
00:28:43If you apologise, I'll come to Scotland with you.
00:28:46Oh, no, George. I asked you not to.
00:28:49Give me another drink. Not so strong.
00:28:51All right.
00:28:53Whistle.
00:28:55Settle.
00:28:57Whistle.
00:28:59Settle.
00:29:01There.
00:29:02Thank you, George.
00:29:08Now you've drowned it.
00:29:09I miss you, George.
00:29:12I miss you, George.
00:29:14Why do you want to come with me?
00:29:16Oh, trustees.
00:29:18Marriage.
00:29:19Bankruptcy.
00:29:21Get away from it all.
00:29:23You have to sleep in a hotel.
00:29:25The hotel's full.
00:29:27It isn't.
00:29:31Make it full.
00:29:32Just a minute.
00:29:36You're full.
00:29:37You're not full.
00:29:38I'm full.
00:29:39But the hotel's not full.
00:29:43What's the name of a hotel?
00:29:47Dandrunnock Arms.
00:29:49Kyle of Loch Elsh.
00:29:52What's the name of a hotel?
00:29:56Dandrunnock Arms.
00:29:59Kyle of Loch Elsh.
00:30:03Reserve.
00:30:05Hall.
00:30:07Rooms.
00:30:09Saturday.
00:30:11Family.
00:30:12Eight.
00:30:14Do you think of a name?
00:30:16Twelve.
00:30:18Oh, that's very good.
00:30:20No, no.
00:30:21American name.
00:30:22All hotels impressed by Americans.
00:30:25Silas K.
00:30:27Must be Silas K.
00:30:29Oh, that's very good.
00:30:30Silas.
00:30:32K.
00:30:36McQuillis.
00:30:38That reminds me.
00:30:40Give me another drink.
00:30:47Who says birds don't sing at night?
00:30:48Huh?
00:30:49Good morning, Parks.
00:30:50Good morning, Madam.
00:30:51Lovely party, don't you think?
00:30:52Yes, Madam.
00:30:53I thought everything was perfect.
00:30:54They all stayed on and on.
00:30:55Yes, Madam.
00:30:56And that's always a good sign, isn't it?
00:30:57Indeed it is, Madam.
00:30:58In fact, uh...
00:30:59Yes, Parks?
00:31:00Some of them haven't gone yet.
00:31:01Haven't gone yet?
00:31:02Well, where are they?
00:31:04Haven't gone yet?
00:31:05Well, where are they?
00:31:06Well, where are they?
00:31:09Yes, Parks?
00:31:10Well, where are they?
00:31:13Well, where are they?
00:31:33What is the matter with you, Richard?
00:31:34Why are you so nervous?
00:31:35I'm all right, Mariah.
00:31:36I'm glad to see you've brought your raincoat.
00:31:37Yes, I hope I shan't have to use it, Mariah.
00:31:38If you're still cherishing the hope
00:31:39that you're going to stay in the house with me,
00:31:40you're very much mistaken.
00:31:41Oh, no, Mariah.
00:31:42I'm only cherishing the hope that it won't rain.
00:32:03We're off.
00:32:21Oh, dear, for goodness sake, stop fussing, Richard.
00:32:23You're making that gentleman most uncomfortable.
00:32:25Excuse me, sir.
00:32:26I hope we haven't bothered you too much.
00:32:28Not at all, madam.
00:32:30Did you remember to bring...
00:32:33Oh, dear.
00:32:56Here we are.
00:32:57One of your hats, Mariah, I believe.
00:32:59Good-bye, Mariah. Pleasant holiday to you. Afraid we shan't beat till it's over.
00:33:05If then, good-bye.
00:33:07Good-bye. Hurry with the luggage, Peter.
00:33:13I shall expect you in the morning to breakfast at 8.30.
00:33:16You will find the dinghy by the jetty, and you can row yourself across.
00:33:20Yes, Mariah. I'm looking forward to our first day together, alone.
00:33:26You haven't any rooms, have you?
00:33:28No. Good.
00:33:32Stop! Stop!
00:33:33What's happened? Is anything the matter?
00:33:35The hotel is full. Not a room left.
00:33:37Richard, did you forget to reserve a room for yourself?
00:33:40He did not forget. They received his wire, but too late.
00:33:43McQuilch has them all.
00:33:45McQuilch?
00:33:46Silas K. McQuilch, his wife and six children.
00:33:51I must look in, sir. Excuse me.
00:33:58Have you no accommodation whatever?
00:34:08With who?
00:34:09Oh, but did you not receive a telegram from this gentleman?
00:34:12Mr. McQuilch?
00:34:13No, no. Richard Horton. He says he sent one.
00:34:16I did. With who?
00:34:18Have you no odd corner where I can stand up and sleep like a horse?
00:34:21Why, Mariah!
00:34:23Oh, Helen.
00:34:25Why, Helen, what on earth are you doing here?
00:34:27Darling, I've been trying to reach you.
00:34:29The McQuilches are over from the States, and I'm showing them round.
00:34:32I told Silas he simply had to see your island.
00:34:37Did you receive a wire from Mr. McQuilch?
00:34:40Aye.
00:34:41Unfortunately, your friends, the McQuilches, have taken all the rooms,
00:34:43and the hotels foo the new.
00:34:45Well, as it happens, that can be fixed.
00:34:47Silas has had to go to a conference in Glasgow,
00:34:50and the family won't be here for two or three days.
00:34:52I'm the advance guard.
00:34:54Richard and George can have their rooms.
00:34:57Splendid!
00:34:58Splendid.
00:34:59Splendid.
00:35:00Splendid.
00:35:01One of the rooms Mr. McQuilches reserved was for me,
00:35:03and I thought that...
00:35:04Mr. McQuilches reserved no rooms.
00:35:06There were no rooms left for Mr. McQuilches to reserve them.
00:35:10We're foo.
00:35:11The new.
00:35:12The new.
00:35:13The new.
00:35:14If you'll excuse me, I'll have my tea.
00:35:28The new.
00:35:29The new.
00:35:30The new.
00:35:31The new.

00:35:55The new.
00:35:56The new.
00:35:57You will guard this very carefully.
00:36:07It contains my old friend Mrs. Whislack's favourite toque.
00:36:11Tell me, Maria, which is the late Mr. Whislack?
00:36:15Oh, George, please.
00:36:17Mrs. McCosh, are the rooms ready?
00:36:20You said in your letter it was only you and a guest.
00:36:22Well, that's quite right, but...
00:36:23You said nothing about the two gentlemen.
00:36:25I know. That happened afterwards.
00:36:28Is it your honeymoon you're on?
00:36:30Oh, nonsense. I'm not married.
00:36:32Nobody's married.
00:36:34Go to the kitchen.
00:36:42Shut the door.
00:36:44Now, will you kindly explain?
00:36:46I don't have to explain anything to you, Mrs. McCosh.
00:36:51Please see to the luggage.
00:36:52I'll take no part in your plans.
00:36:54You'll be here two weeks and you'll do as you're told.
00:36:56Or you won't receive a penny.
00:36:58Bring me a bottle of whiskey.
00:36:59Oh, I'll have nothing.
00:37:01No, you won't.
00:37:02Not a penny.
00:37:04Very well.
00:37:05I'll stay.
00:37:06But mind you, I'll be watching and biding my time.
00:37:10Bring me a bottle of whiskey.
00:37:11I'm the one to give orders in this house.
00:37:13The whiskey will be unpacked.
00:37:14Ah.
00:37:15And locked up in due course.
00:37:16I like your little cottage, Mariah.
00:37:19It's so simple.
00:37:21Oh, thank you, George.
00:37:22I'm glad you like it.
00:37:24Where'd you get the staircase?
00:37:25Arthur picked it up in Venice.
00:37:27On the first night of our honeymoon.
00:37:29Picked it up on the first night of your honeymoon?
00:37:32Hmm.
00:37:33What a man.
00:37:36Unpack for me, will you?
00:37:37Yes, mistress.
00:37:38Mistress?
00:37:38Not yet.
00:37:47It's a night dress.
00:38:00I hope you'll find your bed comfortable.
00:38:03Eh?
00:38:04Oh, I can't use that very much.
00:38:06You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
00:38:11Can't you get me some whiskey?
00:38:12I can see through it.
00:38:36Come away.
00:38:39Richard, there's a speck of dust in my eye.
00:38:41Will you kindly remove it?
00:38:49Give it.
00:38:51Picked your things.
00:39:06Richard, count the silver.
00:39:08well is dinner ready no don't be a fool George all the servants have left well we'd have to
00:39:18manage ourselves I'll cook you and Helen I know will help delighted delighted Mariah George of
00:39:23course will be utterly useless on the contrary Mariah you'll find I'm incredibly useful I'm at
00:39:28my best at beds I welcome washing up and I'm a dab at dusting you can leave everything to me
00:39:38I'm just 17 and I've never been
00:39:47I'm just 17
00:39:58I'm just 17
00:40:05I'm nervous something's happened to George I'm nervous that something hasn't having spent three
00:40:16weeks practically alone with him I wonder you can tolerate his miserable selfishness well he's
00:40:22completely unconscious of it Richard's been a long time gone to the village well it's a long pull
00:40:28there and back now there's the kindest sweetest man I've ever met you don't think he's merely giving
00:40:33a good impression well you haven't left much undone to find out if he has any weaknesses have you
00:40:38darling are you suggesting that I haven't been nice to him how could I when he always describes you
00:40:44as an angel he probably knew you'd repeat it to me
00:40:48oh thank heaven you're safe why Helen did you think something had happened to me well I did rather you see when you went out and I asked you as there were no servants to be back at one for lunch well naturally when two o'clock came I began to think something terrible must have happened oh it's very charming of you Helen but I don't at the least mind having
00:40:50lunch late is it ready I'm very hungry dinner's been ready for over an hour
00:41:20it's quite I'll get it for you George dear
00:41:50so
00:41:56so
00:41:59so
00:42:01so
00:42:05so
00:42:11There you are, George, darling.
00:42:25Thank you, Helen.
00:42:27Some bread.
00:42:28Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:43:11Thank you, Helen.
00:43:21A bit of butter?
00:43:22Oh, yes.
00:43:29George.
00:43:30Maria.
00:43:31In the cellar, there's some champagne, moselle, hock.
00:43:35Please let me fetch it for you.
00:43:37Maria, you know I never drink at lunch.
00:43:39Oh, but I want you to.
00:43:40I want you to let me fetch it for you.
00:43:42If you'll allow me to say so, I find your joke singularly unfunny.
00:43:45Would you like some rice pudding?
00:43:47To say I would like some rice pudding would be both inaccurate and insincere.
00:43:51To say that I'm hungry and will eat some is an entirely different matter.
00:43:54Where's the cream?
00:43:55There is no cream.
00:43:56What, no cream?
00:43:57George.
00:43:58Maria.
00:43:59Look at me.
00:43:59Does my face express anything to you?
00:44:04No.
00:44:05Do you know what would give me more pleasure than anything in the world?
00:44:10I can't imagine.
00:44:10To rub your nose in the rice pudding.
00:44:12You should try to avoid crudity, Maria.
00:44:15I'm afraid I haven't put enough milk in it.
00:44:18I agree, but what it lacks in milk, it makes up for it in price.
00:44:21Throw it at him.
00:44:21Throw it at him.
00:44:22I can quite see why you don't keep your servants, Maria.
00:44:25George, please.
00:44:26Are you suggesting that it's my fault that my servants left me?
00:44:29I'll put it another way.
00:44:30I suggest that one has to like you very much to remain in the same house with you, Maria.
00:44:34Just one second.
00:44:36Out!
00:44:37Out!
00:44:53Richard, you must be quite exhausted.
00:44:55Oh, thank you, Helen.
00:44:56I am rather.
00:44:57Where's Maria?
00:44:58In the kitchen.
00:44:59Is she all right?
00:45:00Well, of course she's all right.
00:45:01That is not true.
00:45:02Richard, my dear fellow, I have some very bad news for you.
00:45:05You mean she's annoyed with me for being so long?
00:45:07Worse than that.
00:45:07Far worse.
00:45:08What?
00:45:09What do you think?
00:45:09She pulled my nose.
00:45:11Why isn't the damn thing bleeding?
00:45:13Why did she pull your nose?
00:45:14I had no idea.
00:45:15It doesn't seem to have improved it.
00:45:16So this is the return I get for coming up here to help you win her, hmm?
00:45:19Let me tell you something.
00:45:21I haven't got a chance in the world of winning her.
00:45:23And even if I had, it would be in spite of you.
00:45:25At least 50 times you've made a chance.
00:45:26I don't want to hear any more.
00:45:27I shall go outside and read.
00:45:28Give me my newspaper.
00:45:29I didn't have time to get it.
00:45:30You mean to say you haven't brought me my time?
00:45:31I have not.
00:45:32Well, of all the selfish devils.
00:45:33Oh, I've forgotten to send Maria's telegram.
00:45:36Good.
00:45:41Come on, Manchu.
00:45:43Oh, there you are at last, Richard.
00:45:45I hope you remember to send my telegram.
00:45:47Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
00:45:48I'm afraid I didn't.
00:45:49Really, it's too bad of you.
00:45:50Do you realize I shall have nothing to read for two or three days?
00:45:53Oh, I know.
00:45:53I can't tell you how sorry I am.
00:45:55Well, if I'd known you weren't going to Thedden, I'd have gone myself.
00:45:58I noticed you brought all the things you want.
00:46:03Tell her to go to hell.
00:46:05What did you say?
00:46:06Tell her to go to hell.
00:46:07What?
00:46:08I said you look tired and not at all well.
00:46:12No.
00:46:12Oh, I'm all right.
00:46:13Really, I am.
00:46:14He's quite all right, aren't you?
00:46:15Yes, of course.
00:46:17Oh, tell me something I can do to make up.
00:46:18Why not give Manchu his little bath?
00:46:20Think you could?
00:46:22Oh, yes, of course.
00:46:23I have a way with animals they take to me, you know.
00:46:31How you can hope to impress Maria favorably by ill-treating her little dog,
00:46:35I don't know.
00:46:37Oh, I bent down in a friendly way, nothing more than a little beast bit me.
00:46:40Oh, what's the use?
00:46:41Now she...
00:46:42Give me that, Richard.
00:46:44It's lucky for you that I feel particularly good tempered tonight.
00:46:47What caused that?
00:46:48Drink, food or money?
00:46:50None of those.
00:46:51I have decided to make Helen a faithful husband.
00:46:54Jolly decent of you.
00:46:55Well, it's a most unusual thing in our family.
00:46:58I agree.
00:46:58Yes, I've been watching Helen carefully,
00:47:01and I've come to the conclusion that she's a fit and proper person
00:47:04to be the Duchess of Bristol.
00:47:07Well, does she think you're a fit and proper person to be the Duke?
00:47:09Tonight, after a simple meal,
00:47:11a glass of wine,
00:47:12I hope,
00:47:13and a cigar.
00:47:14Where do you hide your cigars?
00:47:16I only brought 50,
00:47:17very considerately.
00:47:18I only smoke them when you're not there.
00:47:20You mean devil.
00:47:21As I was saying,
00:47:22tonight,
00:47:23after a simple meal,
00:47:24et cetera,
00:47:25I shall ask her to become my wife.
00:47:27It's my experience that after a meal,
00:47:29simple or otherwise,
00:47:30you invariably go to sleep.
00:47:32Sleep?
00:47:32On this,
00:47:33my night of romance,
00:47:35sleep?
00:47:35ha!
00:47:46ha!
00:47:47ha!
00:47:48ha!
00:47:48ha!
00:47:57Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
00:48:02Damn it, is there no peace in this house?
00:48:04I agree.
00:48:05That's very, very interesting.
00:48:07Oh, I'm terribly sorry. You frightened me, I was asleep.
00:48:12Really?
00:48:13Oh, you know how one says things when one's half unconscious.
00:48:15The last man I married was frequently in that condition.
00:48:19I found that was the only time he spoke the truth.
00:48:21But you know, I didn't mean it.
00:48:22So why say it?
00:48:23Well, good heavens, woman, I...
00:48:25Don't call me woman and don't shout at me.
00:48:27I'm not deaf.
00:48:28I'm sorry, Emrah.
00:48:29And if you must smoke cigars, which I've told you I hate,
00:48:32kindly don't drop your ash on the floor.
00:48:34Now get something and clean it up.
00:48:36Yes, darling.
00:48:48There's another bit there.
00:48:53Why, Richard, what are you doing?
00:48:57Sweeping up George's cigar ash.
00:49:00I'm sorry to have interrupted your after-dinner lap, Richard.
00:49:04Since you're awake now, perhaps you've no objection to my going on practicing.
00:49:08Of course not, Mariah.
00:49:11I can't understand.
00:49:15Before I came here, she always gave me the impression that she liked Britain.
00:49:18It's too bad, Arthur.
00:49:20What do you suggest I should do?
00:49:22Tell her to go to hell.
00:49:24What?
00:49:25Tell her to go to H-E-double-L.
00:49:27Why couldn't I?
00:49:33Richard, when I'm married, you can live with us.
00:49:36I'll even insist on Helen making you a small allowance.
00:49:39Certainly not.
00:49:40How much?
00:49:41Well, Helen's a very well-to-do girl.
00:49:44Five shillings a week.
00:49:45Why, Helen, what a charming answer to my thoughts.
00:49:55You were thinking of me, George.
00:49:57Indeed I was.
00:50:00Do you remember this music?
00:50:02Yes, I know it very well.
00:50:04Do you remember where you heard it last?
00:50:06Mmm, I've heard it so often, you know.
00:50:09Oh.
00:50:10You don't mind cigars?
00:50:13No, I like them.
00:50:14Ah, that's why you're so delightful, so sympathetic.
00:50:17You always seem to understand.
00:50:19I hope you will always think so, George, dear.
00:50:21I shall.
00:50:22Believe me.
00:50:24Helen,
00:50:25I am anxious to tell you something
00:50:28that's long been in my mind.
00:50:30Please do.
00:50:31I beg of you not to consider it
00:50:33the impulse of youth.
00:50:35I won't, George, dear.
00:50:37Very well.
00:50:40There is only one woman in the world
00:50:42I would ask to be the Duchess of Bristol.
00:50:45That's very interesting.
00:50:46And if you ask me who she is,
00:50:48I will tell you.
00:50:51Who is she, George?
00:50:52You, Helen.
00:50:55I'm very touched and very flattered.
00:50:57And I am very happy.
00:51:01Thank you, George.
00:51:10I suppose there's only one woman in this world
00:51:13who would refuse to be the Duchess of Bristol.
00:51:15And if you ask me who she is,
00:51:17I will tell you.
00:51:19Who is she then?
00:51:21Me, George, dear.
00:51:22Do I hear correctly?
00:51:24Your hearing is perfect.
00:51:26You refuse to be the Duchess of Bristol?
00:51:28I do.
00:51:29May I ask why?
00:51:31Only because you happen to be the Duke.
00:51:36Are you insulting me, Helen?
00:51:39Not nearly as much as you've insulted me.
00:51:41What do you mean?
00:51:43You should have only asked me for my money.
00:51:46You should not have included me with it.
00:51:48I am phatically to deny
00:51:49that I asked you to be my wife
00:51:51merely on account of your money.
00:51:52No.
00:51:52No, and I'd have you know
00:51:53there are many women
00:51:54who would be delighted to marry me.
00:51:55I'm sure there are many women
00:51:57who would have loved to have been
00:51:58in the Duchess of Bristol.
00:52:00Frankly, I wanted to myself
00:52:02until I spent three weeks with you here.
00:52:07May I give you a piece of advice, George?
00:52:10Marry Mariah.
00:52:11How dare you?
00:52:12For sheer selfishness,
00:52:13you'd both win the cup outright.
00:52:15You mean to tell me
00:52:15that I'm anything like Mariah?
00:52:16If she doesn't get away about everything,
00:52:19she sucks.
00:52:19So do you.
00:52:20If Richard doesn't wait on her hand and foot,
00:52:22I've never allowed Richard
00:52:23to wait on me once.
00:52:25Only because you were too busy allowing meat.
00:52:27I thought you liked it.
00:52:29Anyway, yours is a grand position.
00:52:31I envy you.
00:52:33It's something for a profiteer's daughter
00:52:35to have refused to duke.
00:52:39George, many years ago
00:52:40there was a butcher's shop.
00:52:42An august person passing it one day
00:52:45was not attracted by the meat in the window
00:52:47but by the butcher's wife.
00:52:49The butcher, with an ambitious eye
00:52:51to a knighthood,
00:52:52encouraged him to pass it frequently.
00:52:55With the result,
00:52:56he became a baronet.
00:52:59Now the butcher's wife was encouraged.
00:53:02She too acquired an ambition.
00:53:04So she left the butcher.
00:53:06With the result,
00:53:07her son was born a duke.
00:53:09So far as I can see,
00:53:12the only difference between our two families is
00:53:15my father only profiteered in pickles.
00:53:29You are divine, George, dear.
00:53:31I hope I shall always know you.
00:53:35What are you laughing at?
00:53:36If ever another girl falls in love with you,
00:53:39marry her the next day.
00:53:49What on earth's the matter with George today?
00:53:52Do you think we ought to break his door down?
00:53:53I'm getting quite worried about him.
00:53:54I don't think you need be
00:53:55just because he stays in his room all day.
00:53:57He hasn't even eaten the food I left on a tray for him.
00:53:59That, I admit, is remarkable.
00:54:01You don't suppose he's cut his throat
00:54:03or hanging himself, do you?
00:54:04Nonsense.
00:54:04He would never be so considerate.
00:54:06I'm glad you didn't wait tea for me.
00:54:08The tide was stronger than I thought.
00:54:13The tide?
00:54:14Yes, it was my turn to row over and get the post.
00:54:17Look what you've done, you fool.
00:54:19Oh, it's all right.
00:54:20There's nothing broken.
00:54:21We just need some more milk.
00:54:22You must be tired.
00:54:24I'll get it.
00:54:33Somebody ought to go with him.
00:54:34He's not safe to be left alone.
00:54:37Nonsense.
00:54:38He's all right.
00:54:43Sorry I've been so long.
00:54:45You're quite well, George, old man.
00:54:46I feel terribly well, thank you, Richard.
00:54:50Where's the post?
00:54:51The post?
00:54:55There wasn't any.
00:55:02The post must be so cold for you.
00:55:03By the way.
00:55:04There's something didn't.
00:55:04Thetwo lasagnaimen soup...
00:55:05Not one of the way it's all beenaanad everyday.
00:55:09Pretty, don't you think?
00:55:12Stop.
00:55:13Stop.
00:55:14Stop.
00:55:15Stop.
00:55:16Stop you, Richard.
00:55:18Stop you, Richard!
00:55:20Why, Mariah, I'm so sorry. I was only playing for you. I thought you liked it.
00:55:24George, I've had enough of this.
00:55:26This what?
00:55:27This fooling. Can't you see your frightening Mariah?
00:55:28Oh, I'm so sorry, Mariah. I didn't mean to. I... I'm very sorry.
00:55:31Careful, George, old man, careful!
00:55:33It's my turn to do the washing up.
00:55:35Oh, don't hurry with your tea. I'll go and put the kettle on.
00:55:42All this before he sets fire to the house.
00:55:48Why are you behaving like an idiot fighting us all?
00:56:05I'm showing Helen I'm not a bit like Mariah.
00:56:08What on earth are you talking about?
00:56:10Don't tell me I'm a liar because I'm not.
00:56:12Do you know what she said when I asked her to marry me?
00:56:14What?
00:56:15I'm an ass. I'm conceited. I'm selfish. I nag.
00:56:17I'm the descendant of earth.
00:56:19No, no.
00:56:20I tell you, I am.
00:56:22Oh, she says I am.
00:56:24I've never been so disappointed in anybody in all my life.
00:56:26Everything would have been all right if your old woman hadn't started this unapproval business.
00:56:30Are you referring to Mrs Wisdak?
00:56:32In the last three weeks, Helen's found out a thousand things about me and she doesn't like one of them.
00:56:36I'm leaving tomorrow in the midday train.
00:56:38Did you love her, George?
00:56:40How could a man Harris to death with financial troubles as I am concentrate on love?
00:56:44It's unreasonable, Richard.
00:56:45Anyway, you go and get your old woman to turn you down and see how you like it.
00:56:48Thank you. I've more sense than you have.
00:56:51I'm not risking it.
00:56:52I'm leaving with you.
00:56:54Coward.
00:56:55Not at all.
00:56:56I want to save her the embarrassment of telling me I failed her.
00:57:05Are you better?
00:57:09Are you better?
00:57:10Are you better?
00:57:11Please don't shout at me, Mariah.
00:57:13I wish to tell you that your behaviour was perfectly disgraceful.
00:57:16And shall I tell you why my behaviour was perfectly disgraceful?
00:57:19Why?
00:57:20I wish it to be known that I have not one thing in common, nor am I in the least like...
00:57:23George!
00:57:24Very well, Richard, for your sake I won't.
00:57:27But I'm writing to you, Mariah.
00:57:34Your hand is all wet, Richard.
00:57:36I'm sorry, Mariah, I was about to wash up.
00:57:39You ain't such a noise.
00:57:41The washing up's to be done, Mariah.
00:57:42Of course it is, and I'm very grateful to you.
00:57:44Richard, I want to tell you something.
00:57:46Oh, that's all right, Mariah, I know.
00:57:47Please, Richard, what I have to say is very embarrassing, and you might realise.
00:57:50I know, and I'm sorry.
00:57:51I brought you here for the purpose of finding out, as you know,
00:57:54that if we married, would there be a chance of us both being happy?
00:57:57Well, quiet, and I...
00:57:58Will you please be quiet?
00:57:59Sorry?
00:58:00When I left London, I liked you very much.
00:58:01I almost believed you possessed qualities that might endear you to be.
00:58:04I know.
00:58:05But I had no idea how nice you really are.
00:58:06What did you say?
00:58:07Don't interrupt, please.
00:58:08I was going to say, I think you're a thousand times nicer than I ever thought you were.
00:58:12Nicer.
00:58:13Please, don't interrupt.
00:58:14It's very irritating.
00:58:15Now, what was I saying?
00:58:16Oh, yes.
00:58:17I have decided not only to marry you, but to prove to you how much I trust you.
00:58:22I'm going to settle five thousand a year on you for life.
00:58:26Are you pleased?
00:58:27Pleased?
00:58:28Please.
00:58:29But I'm delighted.
00:58:31And all this time, I thought you disliked me.
00:58:34You'll never begin to know how miserable I've been.
00:58:36Oh, but why?
00:58:37Well, you were so intolerant, so horrid to me.
00:58:40Horrid to?
00:58:41What are you talking about?
00:58:43Oh, now, let's straighten this out.
00:58:45You know, you tried every way of provoking me to see whether I was bad-tempered or not.
00:58:48I did nothing of the kind.
00:58:50I'd never descend to anything so mean.
00:58:52Mariah, you don't mean to tell me that that was really you all the time?
00:58:58Of course.
00:59:01Is that how you'd be if we were married?
00:59:03Naturally.
00:59:07How long did your late husband live with you, Mariah?
00:59:10Eighteen years.
00:59:11Why?
00:59:12What a man.
00:59:13What a constitution.
00:59:15How dare you speak to me like that?
00:59:17If you had the faintest idea how you've been speaking to me during the last three weeks,
00:59:21you'd know how and why I dared.
00:59:23Richard, are you mad?
00:59:25Mariah, dear, double that 5,000, treble that 5,000,
00:59:28give me every shilling you have in the world,
00:59:30and then the answer would be no.
00:59:32Oh, Richard!
00:59:33Mariah, I shall always love you for having given me the opportunity of finding you out.
00:59:37I would have married you, not knowing.
00:59:40You... you beast!
00:59:44May I remind you, Mariah, there's a great deal more washing up to be done.
00:59:51George!
00:59:56If you have anything to say to me, kindly address me through a third person.
00:59:59What have you been doing in your room all this evening?
01:00:01Seeking repose.
01:00:02And just now?
01:00:03Seeking alcohol without much success, I may say.
01:00:06George, will you come and talk to me?
01:00:10If you promise not to revile me again.
01:00:12Not tonight, anyway.
01:00:14Helen, once there was a time when I thought you liked me.
01:00:20Liked you?
01:00:22Three weeks ago, I adored you.
01:00:24If you'd asked me to marry you then, I would have.
01:00:27I adored you so much.
01:00:30And now?
01:00:32I've spent the last three weeks with you,
01:00:34and I think it's been my greatest disappointment.
01:00:36You mean I died on you?
01:00:38The second day.
01:00:39The second day?
01:00:41Well, that's not the experience of other women who have known me.
01:00:44You know, Helen, I'm always being asked you out to dinner parties
01:00:47because people find me amusing.
01:00:49A dinner party only lasts two hours.
01:00:52A marriage has been known to last for two years.
01:00:55Yes.
01:00:57Helen, these last three weeks,
01:01:00are they indelibly imprinted on your mind?
01:01:03They are imprinted.
01:01:05Why?
01:01:06Why?
01:01:09I only asked.
01:01:16I suppose it's because I'm a woman,
01:01:18and therefore infinitely foolish.
01:01:20But I think I could forget these past three weeks,
01:01:23if you could tell me one thing.
01:01:25Gladly.
01:01:27The colour of my eyes?
01:01:31Blue.
01:01:36Good night, George, dear.
01:01:58Come in.
01:02:01Helen!
01:02:02Come away from the door.
01:02:03I thought for a moment you were Mariah.
01:02:05Mariah's lying in bed stunned by the shock you gave her.
01:02:07I find myself curiously unmoved.
01:02:09I'm afraid I've given George a bit of a shock, too.
01:02:11Oh?
01:02:12Where's he?
01:02:13Poor dear, he's sitting at the bottom of the stairs
01:02:14trying to convince himself he's colour blind.
01:02:16Colour blind?
01:02:17Well, it doesn't matter, Richard.
01:02:19He'll recover.
01:02:20To do any good,
01:02:21I'm afraid he needs at least six months on a desert island.
01:02:24Hmm.
01:02:25Alone with Mariah.
01:02:26Alone with Mariah.
01:02:28Richard,
01:02:29I really came to ask whether you were enjoying it here very much.
01:02:33Oh, Helen.
01:02:34You know, I'm having a perfectly awful time.
01:02:36Then why go on having a perfectly awful time?
01:02:39Hmm.
01:02:40Oh, I see what you mean.
01:02:42Oh, you are clever, Helen.
01:02:44But of course, the sooner the better.
01:02:46Then you agree that the island should be deserted?
01:02:48As far as I'm concerned, tomorrow.
01:02:50All right then, tomorrow.
01:02:51Good night.
01:02:52I'll see if the coast's clear.
01:02:54Richard.
01:02:55Yes?
01:02:56I wonder if you could tell me something.
01:02:58Of course, Helen.
01:02:59What?
01:03:00The colour of my eyes.
01:03:01Oh, what a funny question.
01:03:03Green, of course.
01:03:05How observant you are.
01:03:07Thank you, Richard.
01:03:11Tomorrow.
01:03:12Tomorrow.
01:03:26When you're trying to find one more time.
01:03:27The power of my eyes.
01:03:28The luke of my eyes.
01:03:29The car.
01:03:31Where does it come?
01:03:32I forgot to call him.
01:03:33Your hear of my eyes.
01:03:34Tell him.
01:03:35I know you are going to kill him.
01:03:36hof.
01:03:37Heard.
01:03:38Heard.
01:03:39Heard.
01:03:40Heard.
01:03:41Heard.
01:03:42Heard.
01:03:43Heard.
01:03:44Heard.
01:03:45Heard.
01:03:46Heard.
01:03:47Heard.
01:03:48Heard.
01:03:49Heard.
01:03:50Heard.
01:03:51Heard.
01:03:52Heard.
01:03:53Not a sound.
01:04:01Not a sound.
01:04:03You'd hardly believe they were in the house.
01:04:05Well, how dare they stay here?
01:04:07Well, you can't expect them to wait on a cold railway plan.
01:04:10Why not?
01:04:13Just think that I brought that brute here to see if I liked him.
01:04:16And he has the audacity to say he doesn't like me.
01:04:20My stomach is cold, my head is hot.
01:04:21My arteries are hardening.
01:04:24Only alcohol will get me on the train.
01:04:26Nonsense.
01:04:27Never again do I raise a finger.
01:04:29Besides, you shouldn't have drunk all the cooking, Sherry.
01:04:32I would not have asked you, Richard,
01:04:34were it not for the fact that I mint those extremely unpleasant women.
01:04:38As it is, I shall die standing.
01:04:40I'm not sure which of us is the luckier.
01:04:42I, to have lost a vulgar little man,
01:04:45or you, to have avoided marrying a congenital idiot.
01:04:48Well, George isn't entirely an idiot.
01:04:51I quite agree.
01:04:53What do you want?
01:04:54The rain is now coming through the roof in 15 places.
01:04:57Well, what of it?
01:05:00We have only 14 receptacles.
01:05:02Well?
01:05:03Well, what do you suggest?
01:05:04I suggest that you will find the railway platform
01:05:06far less uncomfortable than my house.
01:05:08Well, Richard and I have talked it over
01:05:10and decided we'd find it exactly the same.
01:05:11Then why not get Richard to mend the roof?
01:05:13I don't think you'd agree.
01:05:14Ever since he told you the truth about yourself,
01:05:16he's so conceited there's no holding him.
01:05:17Is he boasting about that?
01:05:19Rather, now he's bragging that one day
01:05:21he'll turn you into a decent woman.
01:05:23How dare he?
01:05:24Well, he says it can be done.
01:05:25He's very childish today.
01:05:29Mrs. Whislack,
01:05:30would you give me the key of the alcohol cupboard?
01:05:32I will not.
01:05:35Did you have that brandyance odour, as I told you?
01:05:38She whom you once loved refuses to cough up the key.
01:05:41Give me the key of that cupboard,
01:05:42which would never be locked.
01:05:43I'll do nothing of the salt.
01:05:45Give it to me, I tell you.
01:05:46No.
01:05:47Then you place me in the hideous position
01:05:49of having to reveal myself as a man
01:05:51who has always known where it was.
01:05:59You mean to say that all this time
01:06:00you've had access to the liquor without telling me?
01:06:03You had your cigars.
01:06:05And it's only because you're cold that I'm relenting.
01:06:08Sir.
01:06:09Helen.
01:06:10Yes?
01:06:11Well, I don't know what to do.
01:06:12Be good enough to get George a small brandy and soda.
01:06:16Better go and get ready.
01:06:17How dare you whisper to my late fiancée?
01:06:20Ah.
01:06:22You libertine,
01:06:23blowing kisses to a girl young enough to be your daughter.
01:06:26Mrs. Whislack,
01:06:27for me to have been Helen's father,
01:06:29I should have had to have been an enterprising boy of 14.
01:06:31How long?
01:06:38Four minutes.
01:06:39In the kitchen.
01:06:40Go down the back stairs.
01:06:41Four minutes.
01:06:44Mrs. Whislack.
01:06:47Araya.
01:06:48I don't want to speak to you,
01:06:49but I must.
01:06:50I don't want to speak to you,
01:06:51and I won't.
01:06:51Stop.
01:06:52You love Richard?
01:06:53Shh, don't shout.
01:06:54Do you love Richard?
01:06:56Yes, you beast.
01:06:57Must you shout the facts of life outside Richard's bedroom?
01:06:59Come to my room.
01:07:08I never thought I would willingly enter here.
01:07:13Please be seated.
01:07:15I feel less frightened of you when you're sitting down.
01:07:17What have you got to say?
01:07:18Are you prepared to call a truce for ten minutes?
01:07:20For reason?
01:07:20Love.
01:07:21Five minutes.
01:07:22Very well.
01:07:22In a few hours,
01:07:23Richard and I will have left this house forever.
01:07:25Thank heaven.
01:07:26Stop pretending.
01:07:27Well, surely a woman's entitled to some modesty.
01:07:29Not when you're about to lose your loved one.
01:07:31I close my eyes.
01:07:32I see her divine face,
01:07:33her little hands.
01:07:35I am in love.
01:07:36With yourself, perhaps.
01:07:37Shut up.
01:07:43Out.
01:07:43What are you doing?
01:07:56Kindly put down my nightdress.
01:07:58It's a nightdress no longer.
01:08:00It's a flag of truce.
01:08:01Sit down.
01:08:02Now, to continue.
01:08:04I propose to stay here and keep Richard too.
01:08:07Oh.
01:08:07In such moments, damnable as it is,
01:08:09we must forget the word honor.
01:08:11That should be easy for you.
01:08:12Aye.
01:08:13I beg your pardon.
01:08:15Granted.
01:08:15Now, I thought of a way to win them back.
01:08:18Oh.
01:08:19Mariah,
01:08:20I imagine few men have been in love with you.
01:08:23Oh.
01:08:23I beg your pardon.
01:08:25Granted.
01:08:26Of one thing I am certain,
01:08:27I must never let Helen see my heart is broken.
01:08:30I have a pain here.
01:08:34Wind.
01:08:36I beg your pardon.
01:08:37Granted, but you try me very hard, Mariah.
01:08:39Now, what I suggest is
01:08:41that we shall be so pleasant and friendly
01:08:43and even affectionate to each other
01:08:44that Richard will not dare to leave me here with you.
01:08:47If we show them a united front,
01:08:49who's confident?
01:08:50Drink to me only
01:08:54with thine eyes
01:08:58and I will
01:09:01pledge thee mine.
01:09:07You hurry down the boat.
01:09:08I'll meet you with the luggage in a few minutes.
01:09:09You're quite sure we're doing the right thing.
01:09:11Of course, I'm sure.
01:09:13Oh, very well, then.
01:09:14But don't be too long.
01:09:15That's funny.
01:09:17I thought I heard.
01:09:19I did.
01:09:23The tharer
01:09:25shard from
01:09:27The soul doth rise
01:09:31Doth ask a drink divine
01:09:37But might I

01:10:06My dear Charming, what a delightful voice you have.
01:10:09Thank you, George.
01:10:10What did you say, George, just then?
01:10:12Charming, my dear Charming, what a delightful voice you have.
01:10:14Oh, that's what I thought you said.
01:10:15Oh, by the way, Richard, Mariah's persuaded me to stay on.
01:10:18I hope your journey south will not be too lonely.
01:10:20What did you say, George?
01:10:21Oh, pay no attention there, vulgar little man.
01:10:23I'm not a vulgar little man.
01:10:25You look vulgar.
01:10:26You're quite right, George.
01:10:27Ah, bless you, Mariah, bless you all.
01:10:29Don't.
01:10:30Don't you think Pathy's quite wonderful this season?
01:10:33Personally, I prefer caviar.
01:10:35No, I mean the singer, Adelina.
01:10:37Oh, the Covent Garden woman.
01:10:38Well, Mariah, there are voices and there are voices.
01:10:40That's what I feel about yours.
01:10:42You know, your voice has a certain rare quality, fortunately.
01:10:46Thank you, Mariah.
01:10:48What would you like me to sing?
01:10:50That one about when you were 41.
01:10:52What?
01:10:5317.
01:10:54Oh.
01:10:55Oh, do you mean this one?
01:10:58That's the funner.
01:11:00Richard, instead of standing there gaping,
01:11:02you could be upstairs unpacking my suitcases.
01:11:04All of them.
01:11:05All of them.
01:11:06And put out my pajamas.
01:11:07Mariah, what is your favorite color?
01:11:09Pink.
01:11:10Put out my pink pajamas.
01:11:12Pink.
01:11:13Play away, Mariah, but let your music be only for me.
01:11:17I'm just 17 and I've never been to any stately ball.
01:11:30What have you been doing?
01:11:32Put out George's pink pajamas.
01:11:34George's pink pajamas.
01:11:35I have opened wide my lattice.

01:11:43Oh, the spring.
01:11:44Oh, the spring.
01:11:45Oh, the spring.
01:11:49Is coming.
01:11:50Oh, the spring.

01:12:01It is goodbye to all the...
01:12:04They're coming.
01:12:05Let them find us in a more romantic setting.
01:12:06They're coming. Let them find us in a more romantic setting. Come.
01:12:32They're both gone.
01:12:36Idiot.
01:12:56It's all your fault.
01:12:58Stop them. Stop them. Why don't you do something?
01:13:00I have to like to swim out like a dog and bring them both back in my teeth.
01:13:03Bite him, Nanchu. Bite him.
01:13:04I warn you. One move from that loathsome creature and I'll hurl her into the water.
01:13:08And I may not stop at her.
01:13:10Him.
01:13:11Come on.
01:13:17Mariah.
01:13:19Mariah!
01:13:20Well?
01:13:21Do boats ever come near this island?
01:13:23Not for weeks on end.
01:13:24Couldn't we signal to the mainland?
01:13:26But how?
01:13:27Will you burn down the house?
01:13:28You try.
01:13:29That means you and I alone here.
01:13:31Yes. And just think what people will say.
01:13:32They'll say nothing.
01:13:33My reputation will save you from that.
01:13:35Your what?
01:13:36My reputation as a man of taste.
01:13:39Where are you going? What are you going to do?
01:13:41I'm going to my bed.
01:13:42Well, you needn't trouble to lock your door, Mariah.
01:13:45Only the rain will want to come in.
01:14:02George.
01:14:15Yes.
01:14:16No!
01:14:30Amoo.
01:14:34Isn't you happy?
01:14:36Oh, my God.
01:15:06Oh, my God.
01:15:36Oh, my God.
01:16:06Oh, my God.
01:16:07Oh, my God.
01:16:08He's back.
01:16:10Ho!
01:16:11Mariah.
01:16:12Darling, George.
01:16:13Mariah.
01:16:14George.
01:16:19Ho!
01:16:30Ho!
01:16:38George.
01:16:39George!
01:16:40George.
01:16:41George.
01:16:42George.
01:16:43George.
01:16:44George.
01:16:46George.
01:16:47George.
01:16:48George.
01:16:49George.
01:16:53Richard.
01:16:54What's the matter?
01:16:55Oh, it's you, her.
01:16:56Oh, I can't sleep at all.
01:16:58I'm having such terrible dreams.
01:16:59Oh, so am I.
01:17:00It's the haggis.
01:17:01I want to go back.
01:17:02So do I.
01:17:03Giroud.
01:17:04You.
01:17:05No.
01:17:06No.
01:17:07Let's go!
01:17:37George! George!
01:17:47How do you do?
01:17:49There's a man in my room.
01:17:51Why?
01:17:53She's not in her bed.
01:18:07There they are.
01:18:09I thought it was you breaking into Mariah's bedroom.
01:18:11What are you doing with Mariah?
01:18:13What are you doing in George's room?
01:18:15Blackheart should finish with him.
01:18:17How dare I?
01:18:19Make love to Mariah.
01:18:21I'm very fond of Mariah.
01:18:23I'm very fond of Mariah.
01:18:25I'm very fond of you.
01:18:27I'm very fond of you.
01:18:29I'm very fond of you.
01:18:31And that's Grand Lamar.
01:18:45And that's Grand Papa.
01:18:49Oh, and that's a picture of your daddy taken on our honeymoon.
01:18:55Honeymoon is when you go away together after you are married.
01:18:59Pardon me, Lady Bristol.
01:19:01Haven't you made a mistake?
01:19:03Oh, I'm not Lady Bristol.
01:19:05And I don't think I made a mistake.
01:19:07You mean you married Richard?
01:19:09That's right.
01:19:11But what happened to George?
01:19:13Whom did he marry in the end?
01:19:15You'd be surprised.
01:19:17Look.
01:19:19You're joking.
01:19:21Believe me, it's no joke.
01:19:23George!
01:19:25Coming, darling.
01:19:29I'm totally ignorant.
01:19:31Not at once.
01:19:32Welcome...
01:19:33I'm really tired.
01:19:35Let's see.
01:19:37...
01:19:42Can you hear me?
01:19:48Whatever you don't know...
01:19:49Whoo, whoever you're muted!
01:19:50That wasn't.
01:19:51It's inv choos 물.
