:56:03
Will you come in here for a moment?
:56:14
See that Mrs. Mallen
is not informed of this call.
:56:17
Very good, sir.
:56:18
I hope you'll forgive
my calling at this hour...
:56:21
but I happened to be in London,
and I'd hoped to see Bella.
:56:23
I'm sorry,
but my wife is unable to see you.
:56:30
Mr. Mallen,
this is a little difficult to explain...
:56:33
but you may remember
that at the time of your marriage...
:56:36
there was a slight friction between us.
:56:38
I was peculiarly alive to the fact.
:56:41
My sister and I
have long regretted these differences.
:56:43
They've kept us separated
from Bella too long.
:56:46
In your opinion.
:56:48
We want to see her again,
have her stay with us in Devonshire.
:56:51
The air always used to do her
so much good down there.
:56:54
- You're under the impression she's ill?
- Well...
:56:57
And what has given you that impression?
:56:59
- She was never strong.
- I'm the best guardian of my wife's health.
:57:03
All the same,
I should like to see my cousin.
:57:06
Bella was with me
when we heard you arrive.
:57:09
If she had wished to see you...
:57:10
she wouldn't have asked me
to speak to you down here.
:57:14
She refused to see me?
:57:16
The inference appears to be
perfectly clear.
:57:20
I don't think I like your tone, Mallen.
:57:23
You're under no obligation
to listen to it, Mr. Ullswater.
:57:31
I'm not going to leave this house
until I see my cousin.
:57:36
Do you propose to interfere
between a husband and wife?
:57:41
It would require physical force,
Mr. Ullswater.
:57:46
- Will you please show this gentleman out?
- Yes, sir.
