00:00The New York Times
00:24Tell me you are here.
00:26I hope you don't mind my seeking lunch.
00:30Have I disturbed you?
00:32I was just writing to my sister.
00:34If you're like me any disturbance is welcome.
00:36I'm a bad letter writer.
00:38You need practice perhaps.
00:42I wanted to talk to you.
00:44Let's go inside then.
00:46No don't do that.
00:48It's rather nice here.
00:54Let's walk about a little then.
01:00Did you have a pleasant ride?
01:04It would have been pleasant if for nothing else than it brought me here.
01:08Are you so fond of Garden Court?
01:10Garden Court?
01:12I care nothing for Garden Court.
01:14I care only for you.
01:20I think you've known me too short a time to be able to say that.
01:26If I were to wait three months it would make no difference.
01:28I'm a judicious animal.
01:32I don't make mistakes of that kind.
01:34But when I'm touched.
01:36I'm touched for life.
01:38For life, my son.
01:40For life.
01:42For life.
01:44For life.
01:47Um
01:48How little you know me.
01:49Don't taunt me with that.
01:53Well then,
01:54how little I know you.
01:56Well that's different.
01:58You mean that unlike you I may not improve on acquaintance.
02:01Well that's possible, I suppose.
02:04But look at me.
02:08Do you want us to think that I won't try?
02:12I like you well enough as you are. I'm not asking you to improve on my account.
02:21Thank you for that anyway. It shows at least you don't regard me as a stranger.
02:26Oh no. You must never think that.
02:30I am very honoured.
02:33Oh don't say that. What have you to do with that sort of thing?
02:38But I am.
02:39Well then don't say it.
02:42Look, I don't underestimate the question. I'd rather ask it than answer it.
02:50A man that you scarcely know, coming down in you with such a thumper and saying it's for life and all.
03:00The mere fact that you have listened to me at all, I shall regard as grounds for hope.
03:05Would you feel greatly surprised if I were to ask you not to hope at all?
03:12It would be a feeling much worse than surprise.
03:23I don't expect you to answer our advice.
03:25If I gain by waiting, I'll gladly wait.
03:30I would be sorry to keep you in suspense.
03:33If it's the price of happiness, I'll pay.
03:38You like me?
03:40That must be evident.
03:43Well then I don't see what more you ask.
03:45It's not what I ask.
03:50It's what I can give.
03:53Give?
03:55If you say yes, you give me all I need.
03:58I don't think I'd suit you.
04:08Really, I don't.
04:09Who's the better judge of that than I?
04:11You can't be more royalist than the king.
04:14Well then, it isn't just that.
04:17I'm not sure I wish to marry anyone.
04:19Oh, very likely.
04:23A great many women start out that way, but are frequently persuaded.
04:26Ah, that's because they want to be.
04:29Don't say any more now.
04:32No, of course not, if you don't wish it.
04:35You've given me a great deal to think about.
04:38I will write to you soon.
04:41Well, I...
04:42I won't say I'll die if you refuse me.
04:45I'll do worse.
04:46I live to no purpose.
04:51You'll live to meet someone better than I.
04:54That's fair to neither of us.
04:57Someone worse, then.
05:03I just want to collect my mind a little.
05:09You know, I'm very much afraid of it.
05:13That remarkable mind of yours.
05:23So am I, my lord.
05:31I want you to help me about Isabel.
05:34And please do stop smiling like that.
05:36Now, will you do as I ask?
05:37When you look at me in that way, Miss Stackpole, my faculties desert me.
05:41I'm left with only the strength to execute your command.
05:43You're trying, of course, to make fun of me.
05:45Never mind.
05:46The point is, I'm afraid she's going to marry one of these effete Europeans,
05:50and I want to prevent it.
05:51You want me to step in quickly and marry her?
05:54Not quite.
05:55The remedy would be more drastic than the disease.
05:57No, she should marry a vigorous young man of her own country.
06:00Someone with enthusiasm for life, whose whole mode of existence is a challenge to her.
06:04Sounds more like the recipe for a boxing match.
06:07In any case, this knight from the new world in whom you place so much faith
06:11can hardly be conjured out of thin air.
06:13He's in London.
06:15His name is Caspar Goodwood.
06:18I should have known, Miss Stackpole.
06:20I should have known.
06:22She once gave him a great deal of encouragement,
06:24but now thinks he's perhaps not good enough.
06:26And is he?
06:26Certainly.
06:27I can vouch for that.
06:29Is she fond of him?
06:30She used to be.
06:31And if she isn't, she ought to be.
06:33He's devoted to her.
06:34I want you to invite him here.
06:37What's he like?
06:38The opposite of you.
06:40He's the head of a cotton factory.
06:42A very fine woman.
06:43I don't think I much like the sound of him.
06:45Will you invite him here?
06:46To quarrel with him.
06:47He'd prove the better man.
06:50The trouble with you, Miss Stackpole, is you're so appealing.
06:53Will you?
06:53Well, of course I will.
06:54Has anyone ever been known to refuse you anything?
06:57Refuse her what?
06:58I was just telling your cousin about our proposed visit to London next week,
07:03and I was asking him if he'd like to come along, too.
07:05Would you come, Ralph?
07:07I'd be delighted.
07:09In fact, I'd be glad of Miss Stackpole's company,
07:11London being what it is these days.
07:13Gosh, I've walked over far worse cities than London in my time.
07:16I believe it.
07:17I owe it to my readers to get everything at first hand.
07:20That reminds me, I must go to Lockley and interview Lord Warburton.
07:24Oh, he's coming to lunch tomorrow.
07:26You could fix a time then.
07:27I didn't know he was coming to lunch.
07:30I had a note from him this morning
07:31in reply to something I had to write him about.
07:35There.
07:36Aren't they pretty?
07:47Oh.
07:52I fell asleep.
07:57How long have you been sitting here?
08:01Not long.
08:03What did the doctors say to you this morning?
08:05Oh, what do they ever say?
08:10Hmm.
08:12The sun is warm.
08:14Not like back home, of course.
08:17More gentle.
08:20Do you ever regret settling in England?
08:23No.
08:24Well, one regrets a lot of things, but no.
08:29I never ever wanted to be English, but
08:31I guess I must have liked it here.
08:38I think I ought to let you know that
08:40Lord Warburton asked to marry me.
08:44Have you told your aunt?
08:46Not yet.
08:47It seemed right that I should tell you first.
08:50I knew about it.
08:52About his intentions?
08:54He saw me before he saw you.
08:57I guess he thought it was the right thing to do.
09:00I'm glad he did.
09:04Do you mind telling me whether you accepted him?
09:08I said no.
09:11Not straight away.
09:13That didn't seem right.
09:14But I thought about it for the rest of the day.
09:17And then wrote him a note.
09:20I had his reply this morning,
09:22saying that he would be coming over to lunch tomorrow.
09:24Well, I told you you would be a success over here.
09:28The Americans are greatly appreciated.
09:31I suppose it must seem tasteless and ungrateful.
09:34Well, an old man cannot judge for a young lady.
09:40You like him, no?
09:42Yes.
09:44But I don't wish to marry anyone just now.
09:47Well, he's a fine man.
09:51He said some very nice things about you.
09:53I guess you didn't find him sufficiently attractive.
09:58I suppose so.
10:01I don't know why.
10:04Well, there's a great deal that's attractive about the idea,
10:08but, well, I don't see why the English
10:10would want to entice us away from home.
10:13We try to attract them over there.
10:15Oh, that's different.
10:16We're short of people over there.
10:18Here, they're rather overcrowded.
10:22You seem to have found room.
10:23Ah, well, there's room everywhere, my dear,
10:27if you'll pay for it.
10:30I sometimes feel that I've paid too much for all this.
10:36Perhaps you also might have to pay too much.
10:44Perhaps I might.
10:47Ralph has found them well, hasn't he?
10:49Hmm.
10:51Oh, I've seen them countless times.
10:52You asked to see them again.
10:57I wanted to talk to you away from the others.
11:01I'm truly sorry.
11:03Please believe that.
11:08You don't seem to have any reason.
11:11I suppose that gives me a sense of injustice.
11:19After all, you've said you like me.
11:21Is that reason enough for a marriage?
11:24Well, it's reason enough for a start.
11:27It's a good beginning.
11:30Many happy marriages have begun with far less.
11:35Well, there is a reason.
11:39May I know it?
11:40I'll tell you some day when there's more to show for it.
11:49Does that mean there's someone else?
11:52No.
11:52I can't even be glad of that.
11:57At least if there was someone else, it would be something that I could understand.
12:02You see, I really love you.
12:07You see, I really love you.
12:15Well, at least tell me why.
12:18It will seem silly to you.
12:21But I will tell you.
12:22It's that I can't escape my fate.
12:27Your fate?
12:29I should try to escape it if I married you.
12:32But why shouldn't that be your fate as well as anything else?
12:34Because it isn't.
12:36I see.
12:39Well, no, I don't see.
12:41But...
12:41I can't escape unhappiness.
12:43In marrying you, I should try to.
12:45Well, I can't deny that you'd have every assistance from me.
12:49Sounds absurd, probably.
12:50But I know that if I'm to find happiness,
12:54I have to seek out the misery too, or at least not run from it.
12:58And in marrying me, you would be running for misery.
13:06Well, that's a compliment I could have done without, I think.
13:11I think it's time we left, dear.
13:15Well, I declare.
13:19If I wanted to go, he'd have to go, Miss Molyneux.
13:21If I wanted my brother to do a thing, he'd have to do it.
13:24Oh, Warburton does everything one wants.
13:27I wish we had a gallery at Lockley.
13:30I'm so very fond of pictures.
13:32Yes, pictures are very convenient.
13:35They're so pleasant when it rains.
13:39I'm sorry you've got to go, Lord Warburton.
13:42I was so looking forward to getting a great deal more out of you.
13:46Oh, I'm not going away.
13:47Ah, but your sister says you must.
13:48In America, the gentlemen obey the ladies.
13:50I'm afraid we have some people for tea, dear.
13:55Farewell, my dear. We'll go.
13:56Mr. Touchet asked to be excused.
14:02He's feeling tired and gone to his room.
14:04Is he all right?
14:05Oh, I think he's just feeling tired.
14:07Well, it appears that we must be going.
14:09Would you say goodbye to him, boss?
14:11I'll see to your things.
14:12Goodbye, Mrs. Touchet.
14:13Now, I believe that Isabella is warning you about me, Lord Warburton.
14:17Warning?
14:17Well, isn't that why she brought you in here to talk all night?
14:20Oh, yeah, no.
14:21I've talked with Nurse at Salm Academy.
14:23Do you think it was proper for you to leave the company
14:28and come here alone with Lord Warburton?
14:31I saw no harm in it.
14:33There are many things you see no harm in
14:35that cause offence to other people.
14:37Well, I'm sorry for that.
14:38I don't like to offend people.
14:41He wanted to talk to me about something.
14:44Something private.
14:46I may as well tell you
14:48that your uncle has informed me
14:50of your relations with Lord Warburton.
14:53They're hardly relations.
14:55That's the strange part about it.
14:56I've only seen him a few times.
14:58Why did you tell your uncle rather than me?
15:01Because he knows Lord Warburton better.
15:04But I know you better.
15:06I'm not sure about that.
15:09Neither am I.
15:11Particularly when you give me that conceited look.
15:13I suppose when you refuse an offer like Lord Warburton's
15:18it's because you're expecting to do something better.
15:23My uncle didn't say that.
15:26Thank you very much.
15:27I'm with you.
15:31Mr. Touchett, an American gentleman.
15:57I understood he was stopping here.
15:58Ah, yes, sir. I'll have him peace.
15:59Mr. Bantling. Ah, there you are. I was inquiring for you. I got your name.
16:02We're a little later than we expected. This is my cousin, Miss Archer.
16:05How do you do? How do you do?
16:06And Miss Stackpole. How do you do, sir?
16:08How do you do? Bantling's an old friend of mine.
16:10Let's go and have some tea, shall we?
16:12Would you order some tea for us, please?
16:13Yes, sir.
16:15You've been seeing the sights, have you?
16:17We've taken in everything, Mr. Bantling. We've hardly missed out a thing.
16:21Miss Stackpole, believe it or not, is a woman reporter.
16:23Why, Joe, what a splendid thing to be.
16:26I suppose you'll look at everything and then write down your impressions, hmm?
16:30Roughly like that, yes.
16:31But I don't have much sympathy with inanimate objects.
16:34I was hoping Mr. Touchett would introduce me to some of your public men.
16:37Well, I showed you Lord Nelson.
16:38Well, exactly. And he was on the top of a column a hundred feet high
16:41and clearly not in a mood for conversation.
16:43I can't just walk in on them, you know.
16:45A bit difficult, what?
16:46In America, I should simply call on the gentleman
16:48and tell him I'd heard a great deal about him
16:49and I'd come to see for myself.
16:51I say. You wouldn't, would you?
16:52Well, Miss Stackpole has an advantage being a member of the press.
16:56Have you been stopping at Garden Hall?
16:58Yes. It was very kind of Mr. Touchett to invite me,
17:00but I really feel I must be moving on now.
17:02She has a duty to her readers, you know.
17:04Oh, rather.
17:05In any case, it must be a bit quiet down there
17:07with Mr. Touchett being so bad.
17:09Yes, it's a great shame. He's a very dear man.
17:12If you like a house where there's always something going on,
17:14why don't you go and stop with my sister?
17:16She'd be delighted to have it.
17:18Where does she live?
17:19In Bedfordshire. Lady Pencil.
17:21She writes a bit herself.
17:23I'll ask her to invite you.
17:25Oh, my goodness! I've just remembered
17:26I'm supposed to be having tea with the climbers.
17:28The who?
17:29Minnie Climber and her sister. They're from Delaware.
17:31I met them in the street yesterday afternoon
17:32and I promised I'd go and have tea.
17:34Where are they staying?
17:35Knightsbridge. Now, you needn't trouble yourselves.
17:36I can find my own way and I shall probably stay and have dinner as well.
17:39Ah, then I shall eat at my club.
17:41Not with Isabel.
17:42My cousin has hinted at a wish for a quiet evening on her own.
17:45I simply said I thought I'd retire early this evening.
17:48As I said, hinted. I'll get you a cab.
17:50No need to bother. A brisk walk will do me good.
17:52You can't walk all the way to Knightsbridge.
17:54What you mean is I can't walk alone.
17:56Merciful heavens, have I come to this?
17:58I meant it's too far.
17:59There's no need for you to walk alone, Miss Catchpole.
18:02I shall be greatly pleased to walk with you.
18:04It's a long walk, Henrietta.
18:06I tell you what we'll do.
18:07We'll walk part of the way and then I'll find you a cab.
18:10A very suitable compromise.
18:12Come along, Mr. Bantling.
18:14I'll see you both at breakfast.
18:18She's made a conquest.
18:20It may go far.
18:21Oh, I don't think so.
18:23They couldn't possibly understand each other.
18:25A mutual misunderstanding is the basis of every sound marriage, I'm convinced.
18:32May I ask you something?
18:34Ask me what?
18:34Warburton told me you'd refused him.
18:41Well, it was only natural he should.
18:43Yes, we're very old friends and he was desperately disappointed.
18:47Has he asked you to speak to me?
18:49No, of course not.
18:50He wouldn't do that.
18:51I'm just greatly interested in all that you do.
18:53I'm much obliged.
18:58Oh, why shouldn't I be?
19:01What's the use of being your cousin if I don't have a few privileges?
19:05Look at me.
19:06What am I?
19:07A spectator at the game of life because I'm not fit enough to take part.
19:12When you're given a free seat, you feel obliged to make use of it.
19:14I didn't wish to marry him.
19:19Well, I know that.
19:21What I want to know is what was it you said to yourself?
19:25Because from every angle, he's what's known as a good catch.
19:29Apart from his wealth, one could scarcely fault him as a human being.
19:33I refuse to marry him because he's too perfect then.
19:37Oh, that's ingenious rather than candid.
19:40As a fact, you think nothing in the world too perfect for you.
19:43You mean I think highly of myself?
19:45No, but you're exacting.
19:49Perhaps you don't know he's been stalked.
19:51No, and I don't wish to.
19:55You sound disappointed.
19:57No, I'm glad in a way.
19:59Why?
20:01Because I'm fascinated to see what a young lady does
20:04who won't marry Lord Warburton.
20:06Then your attitude's no different from your mother's.
20:10On the surface, perhaps.
20:13But the important thing to me is
20:15it keeps the ball in play.
20:19I'm not sure I understand you properly.
20:23But if you're looking for something grand from me,
20:27you'll be disappointed.
20:28I don't think so.
20:29Well, let me say that I simply didn't wish to tie myself down.
20:33There are other things a woman can do.
20:36Nothing so well.
20:37But then you're many-sided.
20:39You'll surprise us all.
20:42Well then,
20:43the world interests you
20:45and you want to throw yourself into it.
20:47That's splendid.
20:48I never said that.
20:50Yes, you did.
20:53Don't repudiate it.
20:54It's fine.
21:03You look tired.
21:05Why don't you go to your room for rest?
21:07Now I see why you wanted to retire early this evening.
21:09You know, when people forget
21:12what a poor, frail creature I am,
21:13I'm often put out.
21:15But it's worse when they remember it.
21:17You come this way, sir.
21:29Oh, thank you, sir.
21:30Come in.
21:44Come in.
21:44How did you know I was here?
22:02Miss Stackpole said that you'd probably be alone this evening.
22:05Where did she see you to tell you that?
22:08She left me a note.
22:10It was very wrong of her.
22:15Well, I'm here now.
22:17May I not sit down?
22:32I warned you that you would see me again.
22:35Are you enjoying your visit with your uncle?
22:42What good do you hope to get by insisting?
22:44The good of not losing you.
22:46You can't lose what isn't yours.
22:49You ought to know when to leave one alone.
22:51I can't reconcile myself to that.
22:54If you would only leave things alone for a while,
22:57we might be on good terms again.
23:01I can't abide this blundering after me
23:04as if I were a butterfly.
23:07Know this air of knowing what's better for me than I do myself.
23:11What you ask is impossible.
23:13Aren't you capable of making an effort?
23:15You're strong in everything else.
23:17Why not that?
23:17If one is strong, one loves the more strongly.
23:21Then think of me or not as you please.
23:23Only leave me alone.
23:25Until when?
23:28A year or two.
23:31Don't you see I am not ready?
23:34Well, which do you mean?
23:35Between one year and two, there's a world of difference.
23:38Call it two, then.
23:40And what do I gain by that?
23:42You will have obliged me greatly.
23:43And that is to be my reward?
23:45Do you need a reward for an act of generosity?
23:47Yes, if it involves a sacrifice.
23:49There's no generosity without a sacrifice.
23:52Men don't understand these things.
23:53I don't give a cent about obliging you with nothing to show for it.
23:57When will you marry me?
23:58That is the only question.
23:59Never if you go on the way you do.
24:01What do I gain, then, by not trying to make you feel otherwise?
24:03You'll gain as much as by worrying me to death!
24:05Don't you understand?
24:18It's no kindness to a woman to press her so hard.
24:22To urge her against her will.
24:25I really don't want to marry now.
24:28Or talk about it.
24:31It's not my fault.
24:33I can't marry you just to please you.
24:38Well, have some regard for me.
24:41Very well, then.
24:43I'll leave you alone.
24:45I'll go home tomorrow.
24:47Only you'll marry someone else as sure as I'm sitting here.
24:52Is that generous?
24:54Plenty of men will try to make you.
24:55The most dazzling of all will make straight for you.
24:58As to that, I can't prophesy.
25:00I can hardly think of myself as a wonderful match.
25:03But if you think I'm eagerly awaiting some dazzling offer,
25:08then you are wrong.
25:11No.
25:13No, I don't think that.
25:15And I don't need the aid of a clever man to teach me how to live.
25:19I can find that out for myself.
25:21To live alone?
25:23When you have, perhaps you'll teach me.
25:37You ought to marry.
25:39May God forgive you.
25:40You do me a great injustice.
25:44I shan't be an easy victim.
25:46Not for me, certainly.
25:47And for others.
25:49I refused a proposal last week.
25:51One that I think most girls would have accepted.
25:53To an Englishman?
25:55To an English nobleman.
25:56So you're not so alone as you imagine.
25:58What do I care about him?
26:01Then I'm sorry I told you since it matters so little to you.
26:06Isabel.
26:09If you were thinking of me when you refused him, I...
26:14I was thinking of you.
26:18A little.
26:21May I see you again?
26:22I can't ask you to come down to my uncle's.
26:28Now you must do me a justice.
26:30I was invited and I declined.
26:33Invited?
26:34Who invited you?
26:35Your cousin.
26:37Though the suggestion came from Miss Stackpole.
26:39I declined because it didn't come from you.
26:43Then you did right.
26:45And I'm grateful for it.
26:49Where will you go when you leave there?
26:52To Florence with my aunt.
26:54And other places.
26:56You'll see the world?
26:58Why not?
27:00I'm poor but...
27:01I'm not bound to be timid or conventional.
27:05I want to choose my fate.
27:07Not have it chosen for me.
27:08I want to be that independent at least.
27:12But let me say this.
27:14Since you're afraid I'll marry someone else.
27:18If ever you hear a rumor to that effect...
27:20Remember what I said tonight.
27:24And doubt it.
27:28Well then...
27:29I'll go home.
27:34But I'll come back.
27:37Wherever you are.
27:38In two years.
27:40I promise...
27:44I promise...
27:46Nothing.
28:16Good morning.
28:44Good morning.
28:44Do you enjoy your visit to the climbers?
28:47Splendidly.
28:48I also took a great fancy to your Mr. Bantling.
28:50I think he's charming.
28:51He told me so many things.
28:53Yes, he's very knowledgeable.
28:54And he talked extensively about the royal family.
28:57I don't know that what he said is much to their credit,
28:58but he claims that that's just my peculiar way of looking at things.
29:01And is it?
29:02I shouldn't think so for a minute,
29:03but I think he's very entertaining,
29:05and I've decided to stay on in London and await his sister's invitation.
29:08Your readers are in for a treat.
29:09They'll get a clear view of one side of English life,
29:12and that's what I'm after.
29:17Did you know that he was here last night?
29:20Mr. Bantling?
29:25No, no, Mr. Goodwood.
29:28Oh, no, thank you.
29:31Mr. Goodwood was here.
29:34Did she know he was coming?
29:35No, I left him a note at his hotel.
29:39Isabel was furious, of course,
29:40but I can't help that.
29:41I have to do what I think is right.
29:43Naturally.
29:43What happened?
29:44She sent him away, back to America.
29:48Poor Mr. Goodwood.
29:49Her one idea seems to be to get rid of him.
29:52Poor Mr. Goodwood.
29:53You don't say that as though you really meant it.
29:55You must remember,
29:56I don't know this interesting young man.
29:58Well, I intend to see him
29:59and to tell him not to give up hope.
30:02This telegram was at the desk for you, Reverend.
30:05Good morning.
30:07Good morning, Helena.
30:15What is it?
30:19It's my father.
30:20He's had a severe attack.
30:22Well.
30:24There's a 245 Express.
30:27I'll take that.
30:29You don't need to come.
30:31Of course I'll come.
30:33I don't suppose I'll be of much use,
30:34but if he's ill,
30:36I'd like to be near him.
30:37Wow.
30:38Wow.
30:38Wow.
30:59Come in.
31:03Come in.
31:20How is it?
31:26Did my niece come back with you?
31:29Yes, she's in her room.
31:33Poor Daddy.
31:40Have you been with him all the time?
31:43You must be tired. I'll take over.
31:51It'll be hard to get used to.
31:55It'll be worse for you, in a way.
32:03It'll be worse.
32:17What a bad boy.
32:19that was very beautiful you don't think i disturb mr touchett then
32:49his room's so far away and i did play softly i'm sure if he heard it he could only feel better
32:56i'm afraid there are times when even schubert has nothing to say to us
33:01forgive me but are you the niece the young american i'm my aunt's niece then we're compatriots
33:09i'm selena merle a friend of your aunt's i've heard a great deal about you from her and from
33:15your uncle i've been here three days and i saw him when i arrived yes it's a great shame but then
33:22we're none of us immortal i suppose that's the hardest thing in life to learn do sit down
33:29you play very beautifully oh no i play well i also paint well and write well but if i had to earn my
33:40living at them i'd be in a sorry plight but tell me about america i thought you said you were an
33:47american no only in a manner of speaking i was born believe it or not in the brooklyn navy yard
33:53my father was an officer in the navy but i've lived in europe since i was a child there seemed
33:58to be a great many americans living in europe yes yes it's a pity we've no natural place here we're

34:35have indeed i find your needs exquisite well you'll be seeing good deal of each other during the next few
34:41days i've ordered dinner for seven o'clock i don't suppose you and ralph had much lunch then i must go and
34:49change don't pour for me will you excuse me you mustn't think it's strange that she stays here at a time
34:58like this she's the most tactful woman i know she seems to me a most remarkable woman it's a favor to
35:07me that she stays she's not in need of shelter i can believe that what happened to her husband
35:16he passed on it was the only considerate thing he ever did no good mincing matters his faults were
35:23universally known oh i see she's the most gifted woman she knows everyone she goes everywhere and
35:32what a woman needs to know she knows your sister lily asked me to give you plenty of opportunities
35:39well i'm giving you one and introducing you to her and i may as well say i'm not at all
35:46i'm sorry miss stackpole decided to stay in london she'll be much less noticeable there
36:08who is that with me is it my son
36:10yes daddy it's me and is there no one else no no one else
36:23we'll have you sitting up in no time not unless you bury me in a sitting posture
36:28like the ancients used to do
36:33don't talk like that you mustn't deny you're getting better
36:36there will be no need my denying it if you don't say so why should we prevaricate just at the last
36:45we have never prevaricated before
36:50i want to talk a little won't it tire you i shall have a long rest soon enough
36:57i want to talk about you
36:58choose a brighter topic you are always bright i used to be proud of your brightness
37:10i would like so much to think that you would do something
37:15if you leave us i shall do nothing but miss you you must get new interests
37:21i have more old ones daddy than i know what to do with you'll have your mother you will take care of
37:30her my mother will always take care of herself still as she gets older i'll not see that she'll
37:36outlive me still don't trouble yourself about us we get on very well you know well she'll have more
37:44money i've left her a good wife's portion just as if she had been a good wife she has been danny
37:53according to her own lights she's never troubled you
37:58uh some troubles are pleasant like the ones you have given me
38:04you'll be very well off you know i know but i hope you remembered the talk we had i told you
38:16what money i'd need and begged you to make good use of the rest well you'll have more than enough
38:21for one enough for two that's too much don't say that the best thing you could do would be to marry
38:30what do you think of your cousin
38:38do i understand you to propose that i marry isabel well it comes to that in the end i suppose
38:48don't you like her i'd like her very much well then i know she likes you she told me so
38:57did she say she would like to marry me no but she can't have anything against you
39:10are you in love with her
39:14no
39:18no i'm not in love with her
39:20but i might be if things were different if you wait for things to change you will never do
39:28anything i suppose you know she refused war burden
39:34it shows that there is a chance for somebody else someone else took his chance the other day
39:39and got nothing by it no daddy i have few convictions but one of them is that someone
39:45in an advanced stage of pulmonary disorder a better not marry go to hell with your lungs
39:53you have been a good son to me i want to provide for you
39:58you say you have so many interests but i can make them out
40:04i take a great interest in my cousin
40:07i'd like to do something for her what
40:09i'd like to put some wind in her sails what do you mean by that i'd like to put it into her power
40:19to do some of the things she wants i'd like to put some money in her purse
40:25i've thought of that i've left her a legacy five thousand pounds that's fine i thought you would
40:32i'd like to do a little more isabel's poor my mother says she has but a few hundred dollars a year
40:44i'd like to make her rich and what do you mean by rich well i call people rich when they're able to
40:51meet the requirements of their imaginations isabel has a great deal so have you
40:57two you tell me i've enough money for two divide my inheritance in half and give her half to do
41:08just as he pleases absolutely without any condition what condition could there be
41:14let she marry you for instance no no it's to avoid that sort of thing that i make the suggestion
41:23see with an income she'll never have to marry for support she wants to be free this will make her free
41:36well you seem to have thought it out but why leave it to me the money will be yours
41:41why don't you give it to her daddy i can't offer isabel money and you say you're not in love with her
41:48are you sure you want me to have the credit absolutely i'll have to make a new will i can get
41:59your solicitor here in the morning you'll think we've been arguing
42:07all right but i'm not sure i like it wind in her sails aren't you afraid of putting too much i'd like
42:14to see her going before the breeze you make it sound as if it were for your own amusement in a way
42:23when i was a young man and cared for a girl i wanted to do more than just look at her you have
42:29scruples i shouldn't have had and ideas too does it occur to you that the young lady might fall victim
42:38to fortune hunters she'll hardly fall victim to more than one well one is too many agreed
42:44it's a risk but in her case i think it's a small one and i'm willing to take it
42:52i'm not sure you should make things so easy for a person that depends upon the person
42:59if the person's good you're making it easy is all to the credit of virtue
43:05well you certainly worked it all out but i don't see what good you get out of it
43:11well you're the same good as she does i shall have met the requirements of my imagination
43:26so
43:34so
