: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...
:10:01
a man as penniless as the precious
young man you wish to marry.
:10:04
And when your father died,
leaving me with a small child...
:10:08
and practically no money,
I had to fend for myself.
:10:12
That's how I happened
to become the housekeeper...
:10:15
of the Allenby's London house.
:10:18
This house.
:10:21
This house isn't ours?
:10:24
No, it belongs to the Allenby estate...
:10:26
meaning Phyllis,
because she's the only heir.
:10:29
[Dog barking]
:10:30
PHYLLIS: Barry!
:10:32
Stop it! Go away!
:10:34
Barry!
:10:36
Stop it. Go away.
:10:39
[Dog continues barking]
:10:42
BARRY: Get back!
:10:46
Come here, Rolf.
:10:48
I really can't understand it.
:10:49
He's so gentle around everyone but Phyllis.
:10:52
He was anything but gentle a moment ago.
:10:54
Why don't you get rid of them,
Mrs. Winthrop?
:10:56
I bought them for protection.
:10:57
You know what's going on in the park.
:10:59
Perhaps if Phyllis tried
to make friends with them.
