Short filmTranscript
02:22I'm not a good steward of the riches that have multiplied so fast.
02:26By my age a man as blessed as I have been ought to have done something useful in the world.
02:32I'm 45.
02:34Once I'd hoped I'd have done wonderful things by the time I was 45.
02:40Somehow the desires faded.
02:42When did it fade?
02:44What about your mill improvements and your Catholic emancipation and your abolition of slavery and your parliamentary reform and all the other things you lend your helping hand to?
03:02Helping first, you mean, which is much easier.
03:04Helping first, you mean, which is much easier.
03:14There they are.
03:16Will you bring three more cups, please, Hannah?
03:17Yes, ma'am.
03:20Ah, tea.
03:22Hannah's fetching some more cups.
03:24Hello, Father.
03:26Hello, Guy.
03:28Edwin.
03:29Where's your sister?
03:30Just behind us.
03:34Guy.
03:35You foolish boy.
03:37Take that off there.
03:39What have you been doing all day?
03:41Making myself agreeable, my love.
03:43That he has.
03:44He talked with Lady Oldtower and sang with Miss Grace Oldtower.
03:49Never was there such a fellow as our Guy.
03:52Nonsense.
03:53So, uh, Ralph's gone back to Cape Ridge, then?
03:56No, Father.
03:57He isn't going either.
03:58He's left college and is off to help the Greeks.
04:01Even Lord Byron's off with the rest.
04:03I wish I were.
04:05Heaven forbid.
04:07Why not?
04:08I'd make a capital soldier.
04:10I should like that very much.
04:11More than being my right hand of the nose.
04:13No, Father.
04:15Unc.
04:16Uncle Phineas.
04:19Take it and stand up.
04:20You may go.
04:21Uncle!
04:22Maud!
04:23You are being a great trouble to Uncle Phineas.
04:26No, no!
04:27What are we to do with her, John?
04:29Young Miss Maud.
04:30Young Miss Maud.
04:31I cannot teach her at all.
04:32You see how she deals with Phineas?
04:34If I may be allowed...
04:35I'll allow you.
04:37What do you want to be allowed, Uncle Phineas?
04:41Maud is a young lady.
04:43Oh, good, good.
04:44Let her speak.
04:45Maud is a young lady who needs to have her education, as they say, finished.
04:50I would suggest that the Lady Governess would be a good idea.
04:53For me?
04:53Well, there's a coincidence.
04:56I was just thinking the same thing myself, Phineas.
05:00With the right person.
05:01It must be here at home.
05:02Of course.
05:03But where, I wonder, would we find the right sort of person?
05:10Grace Oldtower hasn't sent you anything for your birthday.
05:13Why should she?
05:13Because, because.
05:15There's time yet.
05:17Miss Grace is a disgrace.
05:20Oh, Edwin.
05:22No, she isn't.
05:25Do you love her?
05:26Now, that's quite enough of that.
05:28Oh, well, when are we going to get ready for tonight?
05:31When we've cleared away.
05:32There's a lot to do.
05:34Bad news.
05:35Ten bank failures today.
05:39I do think the country's been running mad this year.
05:42All this speculation.
05:44Well, it's us.
05:45Us?
05:45Why not bankers?
05:47Maud is not wrong to ask.
05:48A lot of people depend on us.
05:50We are safe enough.
05:52There, you see.
05:52But that does not mean that Guy should launch out into foxhounds.
05:57I do not wish to parade our good fortune.
06:00Well, I should like to live a little more as our neighbors do.
06:03We're known to be the wealthiest family.
06:04The best I could find, madam, I believe Watkins is keeping his best flowers for tonight.
06:11Thank you, my dear.
06:11These will do very well.
06:13Yes, Guy, do persuade Miss Silver to take your place by the fire.
06:17She looks so cold.
06:18Are you cold?
06:20I am very well.
06:20Have the lanterns arrived?
06:22Lanterns?
06:22Where?
06:23Just some lanterns.
06:24Here.
06:25I thought you would like them.
06:26Mother, you think of everything.
06:29Mother?
06:30Miss Silver will be at the party, won't she?
06:32Of course, dear, if she wants to come.
06:33Of course she wants to come.
06:35I would be very pleased to come.
06:37Uh, you have always worn that dress since you came.
06:39Do you have another?
06:41I'm afraid not.
06:42We shall have to have a look at what is in the wardrobe.
06:44Oh, which one, Mother?
06:45Which one?
06:45We'll see.
06:46And I'll get you something for your hair.
06:47Oh, dresses, hair, Mother, all this preparation for me, for my birthday.
06:52For all of us, Guy.
07:02She would have been quite a woman by now, my little Muriel.
07:24Miss Silver is very good, John.
07:41And I'm not jealous that she's taken more education from me.
07:45But I wish she were more likable.
07:47The kind things that Ursula has done for our Miss Silver, and she's had nothing in return.
07:51Well, she's not used to kindness.
07:56She looked quite amazed yesterday when I paid her a little more than her salary.
08:01Then Ursula gave her a pretty silk dress to wear tonight.
08:05I didn't know whether she'd refuse or burst out crying, like a girl.
08:09Is she a girl?
08:11The boys say she looks 30, at least.
08:14And Guy laughs at her.
08:15Why?
08:16Oh, her dowdy dress and solemn ways.
08:19I don't speak to Guy.
08:22She's an excellent governess.
08:23I think very highly of her.
08:24Oh, I know you do.
08:25But do you like her?
08:27For most things, yes.
08:37Look at this.
08:38Frenchman in England.
08:40Surely not again.
08:42Will the French come to Nortonbury?
08:44The French Revolution is over and done with.
08:46I do wish writers would turn their pens to other matters.
08:52They do, Phineas.
08:54Does this suit you better?
08:57Grasping plebeian millionaires.
08:59Wool spinners.
09:01Spinning out of their country's vitals.
09:02That's meant for me, Phineas.
09:03You?
09:04Oh, don't look so incredulous, me.
09:06Well, that's disgraceful.
09:07More to them than to me.
09:08I am sorry for the harm it may do to me.
09:13Especially among the working people who will only believe what they're told.
09:17They see that I thrive while others fail.
09:21And my cloth mills are the only mills in full labor.
09:24More people come to me than I can employ.
09:26So I have to send them away.
09:29Then they raise the old cry.
09:31Machinery, machinery.
09:33The ruin of hand labor.
09:33Wicked.
09:36No, no, it's natural.
09:38Penalty one has to pay for success.
09:41I begin to understand what is meant by the curse of prosperity.
09:49Maud.
09:51Oh, Maud.
09:52Oh, Maud.
09:53Oh, Maud.
09:55What did you do with me?
09:58Oh, Maud.
09:59Oh, Maud.
10:00Oh, Maud.
10:02Oh, Maud.
10:02My dear lovely wife.
10:05I always meant to grow beautiful in my old age.
10:08What's the lace?
10:10Valenciennes.
10:11When I was a girl, if I ever had a weakness, it was for black velvet and Valenciennes.
10:16I see you put on my brooks at last.
10:18Yes.
10:19Remember your promise.
10:21I shall give you no more jewels.
10:26It's in decay.
10:27Lux Morhorn.
10:28He's let it go to ruin.
10:29I did notice the last time I was there that he's cutting down the pine woods.
10:34What?
10:35Beautiful pine, Sir Herbert.
10:36Those woods are older than Luxmore's title by many centuries.
10:40And it's entailed property.
10:41He's robbing his heir.
10:43What happened to Lord Ravenel, his heir?
10:45Nothing at all.
10:46He's a selfish, idle voluptuary.
10:48You're mistaken, Sir Herbert.
10:50Lord Ravenel banks with me.
10:51That is, there are some poor Catholics in Nortonbury whom he has instructed me to pay.
10:56Bless me, he told me not to tell.
10:58He may be idle, but he's not in the least like his father, the Earl.
11:01Is he, Mr. Fletcher?
11:02I don't know, Mr. Jessup.
11:04Lord Ravenel hasn't been here for many years.
11:36I wonder, would you send him to the dining room, please, Miss Silver?
11:39Yes, certainly.
11:41You must pay some more when you come back.
11:42And please hurry.
11:44We'll have a quadrille next.
11:53Ursula.
11:56Miss Silver seems much prettier tonight.
11:59Yes, she looks well.
12:01An astonishing change.
12:02John likes her.
12:04I prefer a place with some expression.
12:07Grace Oldtown now.
12:09A real English rose, eh, Phineas?
12:12Guy.
12:13Are you all right?
12:14Yes, Mother.
12:15A little pain, that's all.
12:16I was wondering what had become of you.
12:19So I think it was Grace.
12:21I'll go and apologize for my absence.
12:23Quickly, quickly, Miss Silver is going to play a quadrille.
12:40What a pretty creature she is.
12:42Which one are you looking at?
12:44Grace Oldtown.
12:45She's with Guy.
12:45And when with envy time transported, I shall seek to rob us of our joys.
12:53You'll in your girls, again be caught.
12:57I'll go wooing.
13:00I say, Joseph, is it the London Gazette?
13:05Yes.
13:06Mr. Halifax gets it three hours before the rest of us.
13:08Would you excuse me?
13:09Mr. Joseph, Sir Herbert, do come in.
13:11John is going to make a speech when the quadrille finishes.
13:14Good, and I'll follow you.
13:15I'll take the newspaper, Mr. Jessup.
13:17It's wet from the rain.
13:19I'll put it beside the park.
13:21Do you get your country paper regularly?
13:22Yes.
13:23Some nasty, silly things about Mr. Halifax in the last issue.
13:27Oh, there's a lot of interest in provincial papers, Sir Herbert.
13:30My husband takes them all in, good or bad, any party.
13:34He believes in hearing all sides.
13:36How else can one judge the state of the country?
13:39Just as a physician must hear all the symptoms before deciding on his patient's case.
13:44So our good old friend, Dr. Jessup, used to say.
13:46What's that?
13:47I was speaking of your late brother, Dr. Jessup.
13:49Oh, I beg your pardon, Sir Herbert, I beg your pardon.
13:52He was much respected amongst us.
13:53For which respect, allow me to say, he did not leave us without an inheritor.
13:57Sir Herbert Oldtower has indicated that he has something to say to the company, but just before he does so,
14:21I would like to announce something which I hope will be of interest both to my business friends and to my son's friends.
14:27From tomorrow, the name of my business will be Halifax and Son.
14:33Did you know, Mother?
14:35It's the London Gazette.
14:37May I open it?
14:38It is important to me.
14:39Would you excuse me?
14:41Of course.
14:41Mr. Jessup.
14:44As the oldest friend of the family...
14:46Look what's going on!
14:47Ladies and gentlemen, I speak as a father myself, and as the son of a father, whom I will not refer to here,
14:56except to say that his good heart would have rejoiced to see this day.
15:01The high esteem in which Sir Ralph always held, Mr. Halifax, has descended, and I'm sure will descend...
15:08Mr. Jessup!
15:09Mr. Jessup!
15:12It's nothing, nothing at all.
15:14There's no news in it, none, I assure you.
15:16Edwin.
15:20Wallingford's bank has stopped payment.
15:23There'll be a run on Jessup's bank tomorrow, that's for sure.
15:26Nothing's happened, really, nothing at all.
15:27Yes, there will be a run, and then it'll be devil take the hindmost.
15:31Edwin.
15:35What do you say to all this, Mr. Halifax?
15:39Ladies and gentlemen, this is an unpleasant breaking in on Mr. Halifax's kind hospitality.
15:43I'm sure this unhappy event must prepare all of us for some loss.
15:48Let us hope that yours, Mr. Halifax, will be trifling.
15:53Or perhaps the failure won't affect you at all.
15:58No, Sir Herbert.
16:00It will not affect me at all.
16:01Oh, my friends, my friends, I think we are forgetting our courtesy.
16:11Let me give you, without more delay, the toast I was about to propose.
16:16Come on, Guy.
16:19Long life, health, and happiness to Mr. Guy Halifax.
16:23Mr. Guy.
16:49Mr. Jessup?
16:50Oh, Mr. Halifax.
16:52We came in at the garden door, my friend.
16:54Friend?
16:54I haven't a friend in the world, or shan't having an hour's time.
16:57Do you want to close your account?
16:59No.
16:59You don't hold any notes of my deal?
17:01No, Mr. Jessup, I come as a friend.
17:03Oh, I've had several friends already this morning.
17:06They're sitting upstairs in judgment, Sir Herbert is with them.
17:09They'll have the door down.
17:10Oh, Mr. Halifax, if you're a friend, speak to them.
17:12Tell them I'm an old man, that I was always an honest man, always.
17:15Oh, if only they'd give me time.
17:18Heaven help me, they want to tear me to pieces.
17:20Sit down, Mr. Jessup.
17:24Tell me, Mr. Jessup, if you have no objection to giving me your absolute confidence, exactly
17:28how do your affairs stand?
17:30Please, I cannot help you if you don't tell me.
17:32Well, I lost a fair amount at Wallingford, but I'm not ruined, Mr. Halifax.
17:37I am at this moment perfectly solvent.
17:39If I call in my mortgages and everything else, I can meet the accounts of all the people who
17:44bank here.
17:44All I need is time.
17:46That's one thing they won't let you have.
17:48There is no doubt, Mr. Jessup, they want their money.
17:51Then all, oh, everything is over with me.
17:54It's a hard case, isn't it?
17:56I'm solvent, ready to pay every farthing.
17:58All I want is a week.
17:59Oh, Mr. Halifax, for God's sake, make them be quiet.
18:03I will.
18:03But tell me, what sum, when added to the cash you already have available, would keep the
18:08bank open, just for a day or two?
18:10At least 4,000 pounds.
18:155,000.
18:29Really, Mr. Jessup, you must come and face us now.
18:37Can I speak for Mr. Jessup?
18:39I don't know.
18:40Can you?
18:41What exactly do you want of him?
18:43There are no two ways about it, Mr. Halifax.
18:45In this situation, the biggest fish must have the first bite.
18:48We want our accounts cleared before the people out there get anything.
18:51I see.
18:52Mr. Jessup has posted a notice in the window saying the bank will open at 1 o'clock.
18:57I ask you and the others to wait until then.
18:59I don't think that's reasonable, Mr. Halifax.
19:02It will be, Sir Herbert.
19:03I intend to go to Colton and be back in time for 1 o'clock.
19:07Tell the others that.
19:08And trust me, Sir Herbert.
19:12I'll ask them.
19:13Vestibulum ante ipsum primoce in lumine.
19:28Limine.
19:30Limine.
19:31Pirus exaltat telis et luce cotuscus aina.
19:38Aina.
19:39Aina.
19:40Before the courtyard itself, Pirus exalts before the courtyard itself.
20:06Are you finishing soon?
20:08Oh, yes.
20:10Is Father home?
20:13No.
20:15Do you know what he means to do?
20:18No, Edwin.
20:19Why are you so interested?
20:20He said we're safe.
20:21But the business depends on Morton Berry being safe.
20:31Do you mind that I've waited?
20:34Not at all.
20:35I'm sure that Mr. Halifax will have a sound plan.
20:42Yes, yes.
20:44I was looking at your garden.
20:46The roses are all gone.
20:48Well, it's winter.
20:51Mrs. Jessup, Dr. Jessup's wife, used to tend to them.
20:55And Mrs. Halifax loved them when she stayed here, before she married.
21:02I came to this room once, Mr. Jessup, and told a certain young lady that John Halifax was too noble to die for any woman's love.
21:15Well, I think Providence used this poor hand to bestow a blessing.
21:20I think Providence used this poor hand to bestow a blessing.
21:21I think Providence used this poor hand to bestow a blessing.
22:00Mr. Jessop, I have the pleasure today to open a new account with you.
22:10I feel satisfied, Mr. Jessop, that in these dangerous times, no credit is safer than yours.
22:16Allow me to pay in today the sum of 5,000 pounds.
22:195,000 pounds!
22:25Thank you, Mr. Halifax.
22:27Good day, Mr. Jessop.
22:29Good day, Sir Herbert.
22:29Good day, gentlemen.
22:30Good day, Mr. Halifax.
22:32I hope I shall have the pleasure of seeing you again soon.
22:34Good day, Sir Herbert.
22:38Well, Mr. Jessop, I believe the runner's finished.
22:41It's your doing.
22:43May the Lord reward you.
22:45Amen.
22:46What an act of benevolence, Mr. Halifax.
22:50I see you don't remember me.
22:53William Ravanagh.
22:55William Ravanagh.
22:56Lord Ravanagh.
22:59Mr. Fletcher.
23:00I'm glad to meet you again.
23:02I haven't come to plague you, Mr. Jessop.
23:04It's about my pensioner's accounts.
23:06Well, the Catholic pensioners, I'll fetch the books, Lord Ravanagh.
23:08Well, are you still a Catholic, then?
23:12We heard the contrary.
23:14Did you?
23:16One hears such wonderful facts about oneself.
23:19Perhaps you'd also heard that I'd been to the Holy Land, turned Jew, called at Constantinople, and come back a Mohammedan.
23:25I know, but are you still of your own faith?
23:28Still a sincere Catholic?
23:30Well, if you take Catholic in its widest sense, yes.
23:34I'm a universalist.
23:36I believe everything and nothing.
23:40But how about the children?
23:42They're no longer children, I suppose.
23:44Hardly.
23:45Guy and Edwin are young men.
23:46Yes, and my little daughter is quite...
23:48Daughter?
23:50Ah, yes, of course.
23:51Maybe more.
23:52Is she at all like...
23:55Muriel, no.
23:57Why do you not come and visit us?
23:59We have taken over the house called Beachwood now.
24:02Mrs. Halifax would, I'm sure, be most happy if you came.
24:06Beachwood, that's near Enderley, isn't it?
24:10Rose Cottage.
24:11Yes.
24:12Yes, quite near.
24:15And the church.
24:17Where I used to listen to Muriel playing.
24:22I have seen you both in the churchyard.
24:25I didn't want to intrude.
24:28When was that, Lord Ruffnell?
24:31More than once.
24:33I go there quite often.
24:38Well, we will leave you to your business and look forward to seeing you at Beachwood.
24:43You have your carriage.
24:45In this?
24:45Mr. Halifax.
24:59And how's the little foot tonight?
25:01No butter, thank you.
25:03If I'd sprained my ankle, I move around so little it would have healed long ago.
25:09Shall I put a cushion under it?
25:11Yes, please.
25:12Well, what's the point of that?
25:14The ice has long since melted and there won't be any skating till next winter.
25:18You can borrow Uncle Phineas' carriage till then.
25:21Poor guy.
25:22Excuse me.
25:29She's very attentive to you, guy.
25:32Do you think so?
25:33Of course she is.
25:34Catch me doing all those things for poor guy.
25:37Don't you think she's prettier now?
25:41The way she does her hair.
25:42It's nice.
25:44I would not call her pretty.
25:46Handsome, maybe.
25:49Grace Old Turner.
25:50She's very pretty.
25:53I think Miss Silver's pretty.
25:56It's her birthday tomorrow.
25:57Oh, how do you know?
25:59I asked her some time ago.
26:01How old is she?
26:0221.
26:03Well, is that all?
26:06My dear.
26:08Can I ask your opinion of something?
26:10Yes, of course.
26:12Come and sit by me.
26:21I should like to remember Miss Silver's birthday.
26:24Shouldn't we all like to remember it?
26:25I should like to give her some trifle of a present.
26:29Would that be all right?
26:32Well, what were you thinking of giving her?
26:35Well, I was considering this flora I ordered from London.
26:39I think she will like it very much.
26:41She's very fond of botany.
26:42And what do you know about botany?
26:45What do you?
26:46Edmund and I have gone for miles every day.
26:48Miss Silver, too.
26:50Edmund's a great botanist.
26:52What are they called?
26:52Those things you were talking about.
26:54The ferns and mosses.
26:56Cryptogamia.
26:57Really?
27:00Look at the mother.
27:01Don't you think they're beautiful?
27:03What do you think?
27:04Do you think she'll like it?
27:05All of you.
27:06Do you think she should like it?
27:07Yes.
27:08Father, will you give it to her?
27:13Oh, I'm sorry.
27:14Am I interrupting?
27:15I'll go out.
27:16No, no, don't go.
27:18Please stay, Miss Silver.
27:19We were talking about you.
27:21My son hopes that you will accept this book from him, and from us all, with all kind regards
27:27on your birthday.
27:30How kind of you.
27:31But I'd rather not have it.
27:34Why so?
27:35Do you dislike gifts, or this one in particular?
27:38Oh, no, certainly not.
27:40Then, please take the book.
27:42Let us show you how much we respect you.
27:45How much we all regard you as one of the family.
27:48No, I can't.
27:49Really, I can't.
27:51Why can't you?
27:53For several reasons.
27:55Well, give me one, then.
27:56As much as may be expected from a young lady.
27:59Mr. Guy ordered the flora for himself.
28:02I mustn't allow him to give away his pleasure for me.
28:04It wouldn't be giving it away if you had it.
28:07What a fuss about nothing.
28:09How am I supposed to work with all this chatter?
28:10Mr. Guy, you are just an old bookworm.
28:14Edwin's right.
28:15My dear young lady, I hope you will like your book.
28:18Guy, write her name in it at once.
28:19Oh, yes.
28:20Here's some ink and a pen.
28:22How did you know that guy?
28:39Is that your name, my dear?
28:42What's the matter?
28:44My name isn't Silver.
28:47My right name is Louise Eugénie Darjean.
28:50Are you a French woman?
28:53On my father's side, yes.
28:55Why did you not tell me so?
28:57Because I knew that at this time no French woman would be acceptable.
29:01And I was homeless.
29:02I had no friends.
29:03It is better to starve than to tell a lie.
29:05I told no lie.
29:07You never asked me about my parentage.
29:09Why did you renounce your father's name?
29:11Because English people would have hated my father's daughter.
29:15You knew him.
29:17Everyone knew him.
29:18He was Jacques Darjean, the Jacobin.
29:26My teacher!
29:28Edwin, you saw most of her.
29:30Did you ever imagine?
29:31Yes, I knew.
29:32French or English, mother, it makes no difference.
29:34Of course it doesn't.
29:35If anyone dared think of...
29:38We'll talk a bit another time.
29:39Good afternoon.
29:46My name's Ravenel.
29:48You are Guy?
29:49Edwin.
29:50Ah.
29:51Your father kindly invited me to call.
29:54And you are Miss Maud Halifax.
29:56Yes.
30:00Lord Ravenel.
30:01Mrs. Halifax.
30:02I'm delighted to see you again.
30:04Please come in, Lord Ravenel.
30:09She is like Muriel.
30:11Oh, no.
30:12Not at all.
30:16Mrs. Guy.
30:17Edwin.
30:17Yes.
30:18No.
30:18Where are you going?
30:20We're having a family afternoon.
30:21And what have you been doing since your return?
30:30I've been doing very little, really.
30:33My father is abroad, mostly, so I spend most of my time walking up and down the length and
30:38breadth of Luxmore Hall, which I assure you is a very dreary occupation.
30:43Extremely lonely.
30:44But you could do anything you wanted.
30:47I could.
30:48If only I could think of a reason for doing it.
30:51At my present old, old age, Miss Halifax, I must admit, life has become very weary.
31:01But you're not nearly as old as father.
31:07Who is?
31:12Well, I will have my hair.
31:21She cannot stay, John.
31:37The daughter of a revolutionary in our house, teaching our child.
31:42I'll try and be calm.
31:43How can I?
31:44Have you forgotten Caroline with her French and her revolutions?
31:47We are not speaking of Caroline.
31:48We are speaking of a girl we know and have had the opportunity of knowing.
31:53Whatever her parents may have been, she has lived for six months blamelessly in our house.
31:56I wish that she had never come here.
31:59Yes, Guy.
32:00I came for the book, father.
32:08Louise Eugénie D'Argent from Guy Halifax was...
32:12What were you going to add?
32:15She must leave this house immediately.
32:18Mother!
32:19That is unjust.
32:20She shall not leave.
32:23She shall not!
32:24I dare you speak to your mother like that.
32:25I dare!
32:26I dare anything!
32:27Well, you mean to regret it.
32:28Don't, John.
32:30Don't be angry with him.
32:32I could not help it.
32:37How could you hurt your mother, Guy?
32:40I didn't mean to hurt her.
32:43I just meant to stop her from being unjust and unkind to someone that she must be very kind to.
32:49Someone I respect and love.
32:54Love?
32:55Yes, mother.
32:57Yes, father, I love her.
32:59I intend to marry her.
33:06Guy.
33:08This is sudden.
33:09You should have told us before.
33:11I didn't know before.
33:15And she?
33:16Does she know of it?
33:18No.
33:19Then, you have acted as an honorable man and as a dutiful son.
33:39Well, father.
33:41Well, my son.
33:42You were young once.
33:45Yes, yes, so I was.
33:47You were my age when you married.
33:51But my marriage was rather different from this projected one of yours.
33:56I knew your mother.
33:58I knew your mother well.
33:59And she knew me.
34:02Both of us had been tried by troubles which we shared together.
34:06By absence.
34:08By many and various cares.
34:10We chose one another, not blindly or hastily, but with free will and open eyes.
34:19No, Guy.
34:21Mine was no sudden fancy, no frantic passion.
34:24I honored your mother above all women.
34:27I loved her as my own soul.
34:32So do I love Louise.
34:35I would die for her any day.
34:39Guy, there is nothing in the world so dear to us, except our children's good.
34:44So dear to us is their happiness.
34:49Father, we will all three talk the matter over and see what can be done.
34:55We will all three talk the matter over and see what's going on in the world so dear to us.
35:13Mademoiselle D'Argent, I thought I was the early riser of the house.
35:18I'm going away.
35:19I wondered if that might be your intention.
35:21May I talk to you?
35:21Why?
35:22Perhaps to postpone your decision.
35:24No.
35:24Until you've seen Mr. and Mrs. Halifax.
35:27What good would that do?
35:28Mrs. Halifax was quite plain last night.
35:31I can't stay here.
35:32You are much respected.
35:35That isn't enough, Mr. Fletcher, is it?
35:39Is it enough?
35:46There may be other things to discuss.
35:50What other things?
35:51Why didn't they speak to me last night?
35:53They were up very late talking until nearly morning.
35:56About my father.
35:57Not only that.
35:58What then?
35:59Will you wait and hear what it is?
36:02No.
36:03I must leave now.
36:04Please.
36:05Where are you going?
36:06You aren't leaving.
36:11I've been asking her not to persuade her, Adrian.
36:18Stay.
36:20I beg you.
36:21Thank you for waiting, Louise.
36:38Have you had breakfast?
36:40Yes, thank you.
36:41I want to apologize for yesterday's upset.
36:46It was unexpected, and I have since had time to think about it.
36:51You are welcome to stay in this house.
36:56I shall want Maud for the next half an hour.
37:00My dear, would you be good enough to stay here with Guy?
37:02If you wish it.
37:03Louise.
37:12Louise.
37:13Yes?
37:14It may be a shock.
37:17I hope it might not be.
37:19Or at least I hope it will be a pleasant shock.
37:21What is it?
37:23I love you.
37:26I love you.
37:27I hope that you might return my love my parents decided that you ought to be told and given
37:47a chance to say what you feel you see after a year they will give their consent I shall
