01:00We are old friends.
01:02We are old friends. But I'm afraid it's quite outside my province. Now come along.
01:11You're late.
01:12Oh, I'm never later than I intend to be. I see Mr. Rosier's here.
01:16Is that of interest?
01:18He came to see me the other day. He's in love with Pansy.
01:22I know.
01:23He asked me to speak to you about it.
01:24Why, you?
01:26As an old friend of yours.
01:27His proposal does not interest me.
01:30Shall I tell him that?
01:31No.
01:32Tell him I hate his proposal.
01:35I'll tell him you'll take time and think it over.
01:37No, don't do that. If you do that, he'll hang on.
01:39If I discourage him, he'll do the same.
01:42No, he's very pleasant.
01:44And after all, an income of 40,000 francs isn't bad.
01:47It's genteel misery.
01:49It's not what I want for Pansy.
01:51Well, then, if you don't mind, I think I'll keep him on.
01:54Oh, my dear.
01:54Selina!
01:55I'm sorry I'm late. I met two charming Americans.
01:58Do you know your Thursday at Home's are becoming quite famous?
02:00Even they knew about them.
02:02You should have brought them with you.
02:04Gilbert wouldn't have thanked me.
02:05They were very dull.
02:06Charming, but dull.
02:11Do you like the new furnishings?
02:14Not very much.
02:15I'd have thought Mrs. Osmond had better taste, frankly.
02:19Why doesn't she care how her rooms are done?
02:21Oh, she leaves these things to Papa.
02:23He knows a great deal.
02:27He also knows. I come here to see you.
02:32You like me, Pansy.
02:35I want to speak to your father.
02:36I wish you'd wait.
02:38For what?
02:40I don't know, but if you ask him now, he'll say no.
02:44He'll make you marry someone else.
02:45I'll never do that.
02:51I'll speak to Mrs. Osmond.
02:53She won't help us. She's afraid.
02:55She's afraid of no one.
03:02I've scarcely seen you these last few years.
03:04Well, I've not been in Rome.
03:06Oh, but you've been back some time now.
03:08I like things to be proper.
03:09After all, I mustn't forget I knew your husband many years before you did.
03:12Well, you think I might become jealous?
03:15But it's easy for an old friend to slip into a place that's no longer hers.
03:18And anyway, I think Gilbert is not so fond of me as he was.
03:22Gilbert often resents being reminded of a favor.
03:25Excuse me.
03:26I can see by your face something has happened.
03:31You said just now you wouldn't help me.
03:32Couldn't.
03:33Perhaps you'll feel differently when I tell you I've spoken to her.
03:36We've reached an understanding.
03:38It won't do, you know.
03:41What is there against me?
03:44You are not Richard.
03:45She doesn't give a straw for money.
03:46No, but her father does.
03:48Oh, yes.
03:48He's proved that.
03:54Lord Walbert.
03:56Yes?
03:56It's been a very long time.
03:59When did you arrive?
04:00Literally this evening.
04:02You see, I lost no time in coming to see you.
04:04I thought it was you.
04:05Welcome back to Rome.
04:06We've often spoken of you.
04:08Not too harshly, I heard.
04:09On the contrary, we hoped you'd think it worth paying us a visit before now.
04:13Well, do you know I've hardly been out of England these last four years?
04:16Not, in fact, since I saw you last.
04:18Oh, well, of course we've heard of you.
04:19You're quite a statesman now.
04:21Too busy for the sort of life we lead.
04:23Oh, not at all.
04:24My life has been quite uneventful.
04:27Like the good rains in history.
04:31I'll leave you two together.
04:33You'll have reminiscences into which I don't enter.
04:35Excuse me.
04:44You've changed a little.
05:00I was so sorry to hear about your child.
05:07The Wubi Outlaws, of course.
05:13Something I should tell you without more delay.
05:16I brought Rafe Touchett with me.
05:18Brought him with you?
05:19He's at the hotel.
05:21He was too tired to come this evening.
05:23Well, I'll go and see him.
05:24I hoped you were.
05:26I know that your relations with him are not what they were.
05:30I'm as fond of Rafe as ever.
05:32But why has he come to Rafe?
05:36Because he's far gone.
05:44He's very far gone.
05:45He insisted on going to Sicily for the winter.
05:52Of course, it was absurd for him to make the journey, but he insisted.
05:56So I came with him.
05:58But I don't think he'll get any further.
06:01You've been very kind to him.
06:02Oh, dear, no.
06:03I had nothing else to do.
06:05Oh, on the contrary.
06:06We hear you're very occupied with politics now.
06:09And you, I suppose you're very happy with all that.
06:15Do you suppose I should tell you if I weren't?
06:18Why not?
06:19You ask too much.
06:22Yes, I'm very happy.
06:24Now let me introduce you to some people.
06:26Well, I think I'd rather sit here.
06:29And let it be to that young lady in the pink dress.
06:32I must say she's very charming.
06:34But that is my husband's daughter.
06:36Oh, he's a lucky man, your husband.
06:37She really is very pretty.
06:39Well, let me introduce you, then.
06:44Pansy, I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine, Lord Paul.
06:59Mr. Osmond.
07:00No, Mr. Rosier.
07:04Madam Mel has just given me a message.
07:06To the effect that you declined to give me an opportunity of expressing my wishes to.
07:11I don't see what Madam Mel has to do with it.
07:14Why did you apply to Madam Mel?
07:16Because she seemed to me to know you very well.
07:19She doesn't know me as well as she thinks.
07:23I'm sorry for that, because she gave me some ground for hope.
07:26Did she also tell you to speak to me about it?
07:29No.
07:29Well, obviously, you only listen to what you want to hear.
07:35I...
07:36Yeah?
07:39I set a great price on my daughter.
07:42No higher than I do.
07:43Well, I wish to marry her very well.
07:47In marrying me, she'd marry well.
07:48That's a matter of opinion.
07:50Well, she couldn't marry someone who loves her more, or whom she loved more.
07:54I'm not bound to accept your theories about whom my daughter loves.
07:58I'm not theorizing.
07:59Your daughter has spoken.
08:00Not to me.
08:01I have her promise.
08:02I think you may find that she'll have no recollection of having given it.
08:09You know, I don't think I'll go to Sicily after all.
08:34Where will you go then?
08:36I'll stay in Rome.
08:38No, Rome's not warm enough.
08:40You must try, Sicily.
08:42I'm done trying.
08:43I can't face the journey.
08:45Well, what the deuce do you come for, then?
08:47Well, the idea took me, I see now.
08:49It won't do.
08:50It doesn't matter where I am.
08:51I'll stay here.
08:53Besides, I haven't a single cousin in Sicily.
08:55If I die here, she'll bury me.
08:58But I shan't die here.
09:00Well, I certainly hope you won't.
09:03Well, for myself, I can't say I'm sorry.
09:05I had an absolute horror of making that journey.
09:08My dear Warburton, I had no intention of dragging you along.
09:11Well, I'd have gone with you and seen you settled.
09:14You're a very kind man.
09:16Then I'd have come back here.
09:18Oh, well, that's what we're both up to.
09:20What's the problem?
09:21Do tell me, son.
09:24Had you any intention of going to Sicily when we first started?
09:27Ah.
09:28You answer a question first.
09:31Did you come with me quite platonically?
09:35Well, you know I wanted to get abroad anyway.
09:38I suspect we've each been playing our little game.
09:41You speak for yourself.
09:42I made no secret whatever of my design to get abroad a while.
09:46Yes, I remember.
09:47You said you wished to see the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
09:51Hmm.
09:53Well, I've seen him.
09:54Three times.
09:58He'd be amusing.
10:00I think you've forgotten what you came for.
10:04Perhaps.
10:05Have you told Mrs. Osmond that you don't intend going to Sicily?
10:10No, she'd say Rome is too cold and offer to go with me to Catania.
10:14Well?
10:15No, her husband wouldn't like it.
10:17Oh, how do you know?
10:18He didn't like it when I was here two years ago.
10:21And he made it pretty plain when I was over there the other day
10:23that the only tolerable thing about me was my illness.
10:26In his own fatuously polite way, of course.
10:30Well, you're not bound to mind him.
10:32I don't want to make any more trouble between them.
10:38Oh, is there so much already?
10:40I think so.
10:42Has she told you?
10:43No, why should she?
10:45Well, I thought she might have.
10:48If she's made a mistake, it's her own.
10:50She'd never admit it.
10:52Certainly not to me.
11:02Ray, you really think she's made one?
11:06I think she's made a terrible one.
11:09She was a ship in full sail.
11:13I think she's scuttled and sunk.
11:18I think she will never tell anyone.
11:20Not even you?
11:21Oh, I wish she would.
11:22Oh, you may be wrong.
11:33You may be wrong.
11:38She told me she was happy.
11:40She'd be careful with you too.
11:42She's no need to be.
11:44No intention of making love to her again.
11:47Is that why you're being so civil to the little girl?
11:49I've been seeing a great deal over these past two weeks.
11:51I've been seeing a great deal over these past two weeks.
11:55Tell me.
11:56Does that strike you as ridiculous?
12:00I'm sure it won't strike Osmond, sir.
12:02Oh, heaven help us.
12:03Wouldn't propose to her just to please him.
12:09You think she'll be pleased?
12:11Isabel, it's an interesting question.
12:15I hope you know that...
12:19I think so hardly know how to say it.
12:22Rafe, you know how to say everything.
12:24It's awkward.
12:27I hope you're sure
12:29that among little Pansy's merits,
12:33her being so near her stepmother
12:35isn't the most important.
12:36Oh, good heavens, touch it.
12:38What are you taking me for?
12:39Hello, my dear.
12:53Have you been for a walk?
12:54Yes, with Pansy.
12:57An excellent idea.
12:58I think I'll take a turn or two myself.
13:02Excuse me.
13:07As I'd come to see you,
13:08I thought I might as well wait for you to come back.
13:11Didn't he ask you to sit down?
13:13Well, I was leaving and then decided to stay.
13:17There's something I want to discuss with you.
13:19It always takes something special to bring you here.
13:23Whatever the occasion,
13:24the reason's always the same.
13:26The affection I have for you.
13:29Do you ever doubt it?
13:32No.
13:33You've always been very kind.
13:36As often as you'd let me.
13:41However,
13:42it's about poor Mr. Rosier
13:44that I want to talk.
13:45Oh, he wants to marry Pansy.
13:47I know all about it.
13:48I gathered from your husband
13:49that perhaps you didn't.
13:50Oh, how should he know what I know?
13:52He's never mentioned it to me.
13:53Perhaps he doesn't know how.
13:55He usually knows how to handle these things.
13:58I agree with you,
13:58but this time he doesn't seem to.
14:01Haven't you just been telling him?
14:05You know, sometimes you're rather dry.
14:07Perhaps.
14:08Mr. Rosier has also been to see me.
14:11I see.
14:13That's because you're so near to Pansy.
14:15He says she loves him.
14:17I have not asked her.
14:19You've not sounded her even a little.
14:21It's not my place.
14:22It's her father's.
14:23Oh, you're too literal.
14:25I must judge that for myself.
14:27Well, I wash my hands of Mr. Rosier.
14:31I want nothing more to do with it
14:33and I shall tell him so.
14:34I can't see why you involved yourself
14:36in the first place.
14:37Why did he involve me?
14:39Do you know he comes to my house
14:40ten times a week?
14:41I don't know what to do.
14:43And then I thought,
14:43you at least might know Pansy's real views.
14:46Do they count?
14:49Surely they must enter into the situation.
14:52However, if you're not in favor of Mr. Rosier,
14:54I shall tell him.
14:55He probably knows it anyway.
14:57How?
14:59Well, he knows Lord Warburton comes here rather often
15:01and he knows he's a friend of yours.
15:04He seems to think Warburton is falling for Pansy.
15:06Oh, it's possible.
15:07Your husband thinks so too.
15:09Oh, that I wouldn't know.
15:10But I believe Lord Warburton likes Pansy very much.
15:13You've never told Gilbert.
15:14Lord Warburton has a tongue in his head
15:18and knows how to express himself.
15:21Of course.
15:23It certainly would be better than marrying Mr. Rosier.
15:26I think so.
15:27I'm glad to hear you say it.
15:30At least I don't feel obliged to feed his flame.
15:33I shall tell him.
15:35All the same.
15:37Be kind to him.
15:39I don't understand you.
15:41It would be false kindness if we're all agreed
15:43you should marry Lord Warburton.
15:44You'd better wait till he asks her.
15:46It looks as if he will.
15:48Especially if you make him.
15:50If I make him?
15:51Well, you've great influence over him.
15:53Where did you learn that?
15:55From Mrs. Touchett.
15:57When we were by way of being confidential with each other.
16:00You seem to have had an excellent informant in my aunt.
16:04You certainly never learned it from me.
16:06No, not you ever.
16:08But you might have done once.
16:11Well,
16:12if you refused him
16:14perhaps you'll repair the damage
16:16by helping him marry someone else.
16:18Goodbye, my dear.
16:26And am I the only one you know in Florence?
16:30Apart from Mrs. Touchett, yes.
16:31And she's in the States.
16:33And I doubt I'd have called on her anyhow.
16:35She's not one of my great admirations.
16:37You mean that I am?
16:38Well, I like you better than I do her.
16:40And in any case
16:41I was greatly struck by what you said
16:43on the last occasion that we met.
16:45Really?
16:47In fact, I made use of it afterwards in print.
16:49Dear me.
16:50I had no idea I'd said anything remarkable.
16:52I wish I'd known at the time.
16:54It was about the position of women in this city.
16:57And I thought since I'm back in Florence
16:58we might have another talk on it.
17:00Well, I really forget what my views were.
17:02I have so many.
17:03Did you mention my name?
17:05No, of course not.
17:06Well, I'm rather sorry about that.
17:08I should have liked to see my name in print.
17:11I'm not at all like my brother.
17:13He'd think it a scandal.
17:15I'm hardly likely to refer to him.
17:17Do you know him?
17:19He married my dearest friend.
17:21Of course you're...
17:22Now, you're a friend of Isabel's.
17:24Now, I've placed you exactly.
17:25That's another reason why I'm here.
17:27Now, he's trying to break up my relationship with Isabel.
17:30Well, don't permit it for an instant.
17:31That's what I want to talk to you about.
17:33I'm going to Rome.
17:35So am I.
17:36We'll go together.
17:37Excellent!
17:37Are you going to stay with Isabel?
17:40Oh, she hasn't asked me.
17:42That's Osment.
17:43Possibly.
17:44But Isabel should make a stand.
17:48She's changed.
17:50You mean she doesn't like you anymore.
17:53Or she didn't want me to see how unhappy she is.
17:55And that's why I want to go to Rome.
17:59Now, if you know of anything that...
18:01Oh, I know very little.
18:03Except that Lord Warburton is there very often.
18:06Lord Warburton?
18:10Perhaps he's making love to her.
18:12Now, I doubt if Isabel would be guilty if anything about...
18:14Oh, don't you believe it for an instant.
18:16Anyway, I say nothing.
18:18Only if she's unhappy, I hope she's made him so.
18:21It would surely be better if they loved each other.
18:24He can't love anyone.
18:25Now, when are you going to Rome?
18:27In a week from today.
18:29Splendid.
18:29That suits me very well.
18:30Ripping.
18:33And now that we get on so famously, let's have some tea.
18:49Hello, Papa.
18:50How is your tapestry?
18:56Very fine.
18:58You're nearly finished.
19:00Yes, Papa.
19:02Has Lord Warburton been?
19:04Yes, he's not long left.
19:08Did he stay long?
19:09Yes, Papa.
19:11He stayed a fair while.
19:14You had good company then?
19:15Yes, Papa.
19:18What did you talk about?
19:19He's very interested in the state of the peasantry.
19:23We talked a lot about that.
19:25It didn't bore you?
19:26No.
19:27I prefer it to talking about dances all the time.
19:33You like him, Pansy?
19:36Yes, Papa.
19:37He's very nice.
19:38I think I'll go to bed.
19:43Good night.
19:46Good night, Pansy.
19:53He is attentive.
19:56Isn't that what you'd call it?
19:57I don't call it anything.
19:59I've waited for you to give it a name.
20:01That's a consideration you don't always show.
20:03I am determined that this time I should act as you would like.
20:07I seem so often to have failed.
20:09Are you trying to quarrel with me?
20:11No.
20:12I am trying to live at peace.
20:15I suppose you're wondering why I haven't spoken to you about this business.
20:19You thought I'd plead for Mr. Rosier?
20:21I know that he was an old friend of yours.
20:23Yes, we knew each other as children.
20:25Will you...
20:26No, thank you.
20:28But as far as Pansy is concerned, I've given him no encouragement.
20:32That is fortunate at any rate.
20:37Pansy has only to sit still to become Lady Warburton.
20:42Should you like that?
20:44Yes.
20:46He's an excellent man.
20:48And I'm sure Pansy would like to be a great lady.
20:51In the meantime, I should like him to speak.
20:54He has spoken to me.
20:57He has told me it would be a great pleasure for him to think that Pansy could care for him.
21:00Why didn't you tell me?
21:02When have I had the opportunity?
21:04You know how we live.
21:06Did you speak to him of Rosier?
21:08A little.
21:09So that he might back out?
21:10No.
21:11So that he might advance while there is still time.
21:13That's not the effect it appears to have had.
21:16You should have patience.
21:17Englishmen are shy.
21:19He proposed to you.
21:20The moment you wish it,
21:29you can bring him to the point.
21:33He is under no obligation to me.
21:36Well, I hold that it lies in your hands.
21:39And you know how much I count on you.
21:44Good night.
21:45Good night.
21:49Good night.
22:12Good night.
22:12Hanses, they're all hers.
22:29Yes, she gave them it to Hope.
22:34May I take one, Mrs. Osmond?
22:38But don't put it in your buttonhole.
22:43I should like her to see it.
22:46Would you really be kind to her?
22:50Oh, now you pity me.
22:52But don't you pity her a little?
22:56She'll never disobey her father.
22:58And he's asked her not to dance with you.
23:01He should be here to protect her, darling.
23:03I am here to protect her.
23:05Mr. Osmond doesn't like this sort of evening.
23:12Where's the little maid?
23:18Dancing.
23:23But you're not.
23:25As you see, I am a wallflower.
23:29Won't you dance with me?
23:31Oh, I'd rather you dance with the little maid.
23:33One need not prevent the other.
23:35The dance is more for her pleasure than mine.
23:37I think you've been very kind to her.
23:49Can you imagine one not being?
23:51Your society must have been a great help to her.
23:54Oh, yes.
23:55If she isn't the Rose, she's lived very near it.
23:58Well, you're all trying to look as nervous as Pansy.
24:06Well, Pansy.
24:08You must be very fit to dance as hard as you do.
24:10Oh, it's no hardship.
24:11I can see that.
24:13What dance are you going to say for me?
24:14Whichever you prefer, Lord Warburton.
24:16I suggest the cotillion, Pansy.
24:18Well, no, do you know, I think I prefer the lances.
24:20Very well, the lances.
24:22Oh, thank you.
24:25Do you have someone for this dance, Pansy?
24:27Excuse me.
24:30Good evening, Mr. Aspen.
24:32Excuse me.
25:03Why did you insist on the Lancers?
25:09Well, what's wrong with the Lancers?
25:11Only that you dance it with everyone else on the floor.
25:14Wouldn't you have chosen a dance with her alone?
25:16I think it would expose my incompetence.
25:19I'm not really very cool.
25:25You told me ten days ago that you'd like to marry her.
25:29Have you forgotten it?
25:30Not at all.
25:32As a matter of fact, I wrote to your husband about it.
25:34He never mentioned it to me.
25:38It's an awkward sort of letter to ride.
25:43I will, though, aren't I?
25:50Who is the young man standing by the door?
25:52Mr. Rosier, I told you about him.
25:57He's in love with Pansy.
25:59He seems a personable sort of young man.
26:01Is he very poor?
26:06Not very poor, but he's not rich either.
26:11Still, I suppose if Pansy doesn't care for him, that his income is beside the point.
26:15I didn't say she didn't care for him.
26:17No, you said she'd have no wish apart from her father's.
26:20I told you she had an immense wish to please her father, and that it would take her very far.
26:25Oh, I see.
26:27Oh, I see.
26:33That's very proper.
26:34Of course, it may not be enough.
26:41Oh, I don't know.
26:42The wife's a good one, and the husband thinks she does well.
26:47Are you really in love, Lord Warburton?
26:50Really in love.
26:53Well, it's always hard to say.
26:55You're not quite as young as the young man standing by the door, or as I was a few days ago.
27:10You know, I have a feeling that you're very skeptical of me.
27:15My dear Lord Warburton, you may do as far as I'm concerned.
27:19Whatever comes into your head.
27:22Yeah.
27:25I want you to answer a question.
27:52It's about Lord Warburton.
27:56I think I can guess your question.
27:58Well, then, please answer it.
28:00I don't say I can do that.
28:01Is he really in love?
28:05Undoubtedly.
28:06Well, you think he really cares for her?
28:08For Pansy?
28:09Oh, no.
28:11But you just said he did.
28:13For you, dear cousin, not for Pansy.
28:15That is nonsense.
28:17Possibly.
28:18The nonsense is Warburton's, not mine.
28:21I have to add, of course, he's denied it to me.
28:26What has he said about Pansy?
28:29He thinks she would do very well in England.
28:31Well, does he really think that?
28:32Well, if you ask me what Warburton really thinks...
28:34Oh, Ralph, you don't help me!
28:40You must be very unhappy.
28:43I mean, in the matter of Lord Warburton.
28:46I feel he may let the matter drop.
28:53He'll do nothing dishonorable.
28:55No.
28:56But he could bid her goodbye tomorrow with perfect propriety.
29:02Why is it so important to you?
29:04I want to do what is right for Pansy.
29:06Only for Pansy?
29:08Of course Gilbert has some rights in the matter.
29:11That you agree with?
29:12You've no great enthusiasm for this, have you?
29:17Well, naturally, the enthusiasm is mainly on his side.
29:21Pansy is his daughter, not mine.
29:26Why do you press it, then?
29:29Because I want to see Pansy happy and well set up.
29:36Well, then.
29:39You're afraid.
29:40Of what?
29:42That he'll say your want of zeal is owing to jealousy.
29:50Goodbye, Ralph.
29:51Isabel, be frank with me.
29:55I heard from Henrietta.
29:57She's coming to Rome, presumably, to say the same things.
30:00I told you before I didn't marry to please my friends.
30:04I can't complain just to please them either.
30:10Well, I'm waiting.
30:18I warn you, Mrs. Osmond, I'm not going to leave here until I get a straight answer to a straight question.
30:24Wretched.
30:26Yes, I suppose I am.
30:27Will you have some more tea?
30:28I didn't come all this way to be fobbed off with tea.
30:31Why, my dear, dear friend?
30:35Did I marry him?
30:38You don't have to answer that question.
30:40Well, I suppose you might say I didn't read him right.
30:44I skipped him.
30:47I was too eager to get to the end.
30:49I read only the interesting parts.
30:53No.
30:55That isn't right.
30:56I saw him, a doubtful voyager, strolling on the beach, looking seaward, but not putting to sea.
31:09I thought I could launch him.
31:13I thought I would be his providence.
31:15You see, I loved him not only for the things I saw in him, but for the gifts I could give him.
31:28He was helpless, yet noble.
31:33And this was to be my chance.
31:35This time I could give as well as receive.
31:37The foolish part about it is that if it hadn't been for the money, I'd never have married him.
31:48Ralph saw that.
31:50He tried so hard to warn me.
31:54You must tell him.
31:56No.
31:58I must spare him that.
32:00He's very ill, you know.
32:03Isabel, there is no excuse on this earth for living out a lie.
32:07You must leave him.
32:09Why?
32:10Because I know him better now than when I married him.
32:13Oh, that would be a paultery thing to do.
32:16But if he doesn't like you...
32:18Then I must make him like me better.
32:22You must remember that nothing of what I've told you has been spoken of between us.
32:27We merely sense it about each other.
32:32And while it remains unspoken, there's still a chance that it may improve.
32:38I think I owe him that.
32:41I think I owe it to myself.
32:53Come in.
32:57You weren't in bed?
32:58No.
33:03I'd like to talk to you, Pansy.
33:08Come and sit down.
33:09I haven't spoken to you about your marriage because I've had no wish to influence you one way or the other.
33:28But now I must know what it is you want to do.
33:32Oh, please.
33:33Will you advise me?
33:35Oh, that's for your father to do, Pansy.
33:37And for you to act on.
33:39I think I'd prefer you to advise me.
33:42It's not for me to do that.
33:43I love you.
33:46But your father loves you better.
33:48But you're a lady.
33:50You can advise me better than a man.
33:53Then I advise you to pay the greatest respect to your father's wishes.
33:58Yes, I must do that.
33:59All I want to know is what you really feel so that I can act accordingly.
34:06Well, then, all I want is to marry Mr. Rosier.
34:11But Papa won't allow it.
34:13In that case, it's impossible.
34:17You must think of someone else.
34:19You think of those who think of you.
34:22Lord Warburton thinks of you.
34:23Yes.
34:24But not as Mr. Rosier does.
34:27Mr. Rosier does not have the right.
34:33Your father would like you to make a better marriage.
34:37Mr. Rosier's fortune isn't large enough.
34:40I have so little money myself.
34:43Why should I look for a fortune?
34:48What would you like me to do?
34:50Remember the pleasure it's in your power to give to your father.
34:56By marrying someone else?
35:00Yes.
35:02Well, I hope no one will ask me, Mrs. Osmond.
35:06Lord Warburton is ready to ask you.
35:08I don't think he can be ready.
35:09Oh, it seems so, Pansy.
35:11If he felt sure that he'd succeed.
35:14If he has to be sure,
35:16then he can't be ready.
35:17Your father would like you to encourage him.
35:23How can I encourage him?
35:25I don't know.
35:26Your father must tell you how.
35:30Do you like Lord Warburton?
35:32Very much.
35:33He's...
35:33He's been very kind.
35:35Well, then what is the difficulty?
35:37He knows that I don't want to encourage him.
35:40It's as though he's saying,
35:42I like you very much.
35:44But if it doesn't please you,
35:47I'll never trouble you about it.
35:50I think that's very kind.
35:51You must tell your father that.
36:06I'd rather not.
36:07You ought not to let him have false hopes.
36:09Perhaps not.
36:11But while he thinks Lord Warburton is still interested,
36:16he won't propose anyone else.
36:18Good night, Pansy.
36:25Good night.
36:35I accuse you of not being trustworthy.
36:38If his lordship does not, after all, come forward,
36:40it'll be because you've kept him off.
36:41I told you I would do what I could.
36:43That gained you time.
36:45How much you must want to make sure of him.
36:51Come in.
36:54Lord Warburton, Signore.
36:58Good evening, Mrs. Irma.
37:00Husband, I do hope I'm not intruding.
37:02Oh, of course not.
37:03We were just talking of you.
37:05We wondered what had become of you.
37:06We thought you might have gone away.
37:08No, but I'm on the point of going.
37:09I'm leaving tomorrow.
37:11I have some important business in England.
37:16I'm awfully sorry to have to leave Portouchet here.
37:19You'd better take him with you.
37:22Well, no, I think he must wait for warmer weather.
37:26No, I don't think I'd advise him to travel now.
37:30Won't you sit down?
37:30I'll get you something to drink.
37:32I won't.
37:32Thank you very much.
37:34I can't stay.
37:35I have one or two calls to make before I go.
37:40I just came to say goodbye.
37:43And say, why don't you both come to England in the autumn?
37:46Give me great pleasure to have you both.
37:48I'm sure we'd both like that.
37:49We shall think about it very seriously.
37:53Well, I'm sure you'd love England.
37:55And Mrs. Osmond could renew her acquaintance with Garden Court again.
37:58Garden Court?
38:00Oh, from what I hear, it must be a charming thing.
38:03It's the most beautiful place in the world.
38:08Is Miss Osmond here?
38:09I would like to say goodbye to her.
38:12Unfortunately, she's out.
38:14Oh, dear.
38:16Oh, I'm sorry.
38:17Well, then, you must say goodbye for me.
38:19And do wish her every happiness.
38:21Oh, I will.
38:25Well, goodbye, Mrs. Osmond.
38:27Bye.
38:27Do think about coming into England in the autumn.
38:29Oh, we shall.
38:30We'll be so delighted to have you.
38:34And the weather's often very good in September.
38:39As you know.
38:41Bon voyage.
38:44Goodbye.
38:45Goodbye.
38:45And that is that.
39:02Cool as you like.
39:04He comes and looks at one's daughter as if she were a suite of rooms.
39:10Tries the door handles and wraps on the walls.
39:14Almost thinks he'll take the place.
39:17Then decides, on the whole, the rooms are too small and he couldn't live on a third floor anyway.
39:26Charming.
39:26If you're trying to humiliate me, it is an absurd undertaking.
39:33I don't know what you mean.
39:34Sit down.
39:36I want to speak to you.
39:41You've played a very deep game.
39:44I don't understand what you mean.
39:45You've kept all this very much in your own hands.
39:48Exactly what are you accusing me of?
39:50Of having prevented this marriage from coming about.
39:52On the contrary.
39:53I took a great interest in it.
39:55I was a fool to do so, but I did.
39:56You pretended to do it.
39:59You even pretended to do it reluctantly so that I would trust you the more.
40:04And then you used your ingenuity to get him out of the way.
40:07Oh, I wish I could admit to that.
40:10I wish I could be so devious in the pursuit to my own interest.
40:13Where is the letter that you said he'd written to me?
40:15I have no idea.
40:16You stopped it on the way.
40:20Oh, Gilbert.
40:23For a man who was so fine.
40:26Never so fine as you.
40:29You've done exactly as you wished.
40:31You've put me in the position of a man who wished to marry his daughter to a lord.
40:35And who grotesquely failed.
40:38Perhaps you wish too hard.
40:40I've been very modest about it.
40:41The idea did not originate with me.
40:43I left it all to you.
40:47Are you satisfied?
40:49Am I sufficiently disappointed?
40:51You are not the only one who's disappointed, Gilbert.
40:54In this marriage, I am.
40:58But in the matter of ours...
41:01No, you're right.
41:02And you know, it's a great comfort to me, your disappointment.
41:08You are disappointed, aren't you?
41:11And there's nothing quite like that to live with, is there?
41:16To have given yourself freely...
41:19In the full pride of your own self-knowledge...
41:22To have boldly taken that step to freedom...
41:26Against the warning cries of all your friends.
41:31And to find, at the end of it...
41:33A cage.
41:35It's a great comfort to know that you live with that icy despair gripping you.
41:43You've been a great disappointment to me.
41:46And all your money doesn't compensate for that.
41:50I have tried to be what you wanted, Gilbert.
41:53But after all, I am not nothing.
41:55I am myself.
41:56And what is that, pray?
41:58A concoction of vulgar tastes and notions that might grace the mentality of a shopkeeper.
42:05And in your heart, you set yourself above me.
42:13Yes.
42:13How you must hate me.
42:22God, if only I had words to let you know how much.
