:35:00
It was quite a shock, wasn't it?
:35:02
Diphtheria has a ravaging effect, you know.
Your mother was a remarkable woman.

:35:06
Always looked 20 years younger
than she really was.

:35:09
But this illness, well...
:35:11
But don't you think
with rest and care that...?

:35:13
I'm afraid not.
The years have caught up with her.

:35:16
As you can see, this illness
has even added a few.

:35:21
Does she realize that?
:35:23
- Have you told her?
- I mostly certainly have not.

:35:26
I don't think anyone should. That's
something she must find out for herself.

:35:30
But don't worry,
we all have to grow up someday.

:35:34
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, doctor.

:36:06
Here's your breakfast, Mrs. Skeffington.
:36:12
It's a lovely morning.
:36:14
Just right for a nice walk in the park.
:36:18
The eggs seem to be a bit
on the raw side.

:36:22
I don't like walking in the park.
:36:25
But you've been in the house
for 10 days now.

:36:27
You've scarcely been out of this room.
:36:29
Dr. Melton says you can go out
anytime you wish.

:36:32
I know. I know.
:36:34
Well, how would you like
to wear your beige?

:36:37
Or better still, your black and old rose?
:36:40
Have there been any calls for me
this morning? Aside from Dr. Melton's?

:36:44
Mr. Trellis called
and he wanted to know...

:36:46
- He wanted to know how I was feeling.
- Yes.

:36:50
No one else?
:36:52
No. No one.
:36:55
One's footsteps are very
quickly covered, aren't they, Manby?
