:08:02
Come in the house, Carol.
I want to talk to you.
:08:28
Sit down.
:08:33
I'm certain you imagine yourself
madly in love...
:08:35
with this starving young artist of yours.
:08:37
But have you given any thought
to what happens to us...
:08:40
the moment Phyllis marries Barry Lanfield?
:08:43
I imagine things will go on
pretty much the same.
:08:46
Of course, we'll miss her.
:08:48
It's not as simple as that, Carol.
:08:51
That's why I'm delving into the past now...
:08:53
to tell you of certain things...
:08:55
I probably should have
explained to you long ago.
:08:58
The reason I haven't told you is...
:09:00
that your happiness has always been
uppermost in my mind.
:09:04
First, I think you should know...
:09:07
you're not Phyllis's cousin.
:09:09
You're not related to her in any way.
:09:12
I don't understand.
:09:14
- You're her aunt, and...
- No.
:09:17
I'm not related to her, either.
:09:20
I'm only the woman who might have
married Reginald Allenby.
:09:24
- Reginald Allenby? Phyllis' father?
- Yes.
:09:30
This is the note he sent me...
:09:32
the day before I married your father.
:09:35
Read it.
:09:40
"My own darling...
:09:41
"I know that nothing I can say
will change your mind.
:09:44
"I wish you every happiness,
even though my heart tells me...
:09:48
"I shall never quite get over loving you.
:09:50
"Reggie."
:09:52
Of course, he did get over it.
Disappointed suitors generally do.
:09:56
He married Phyllis's mother...
:09:58
just one year after I married your father...
