:05:01
Well, yes, dear. In a way I have.
:05:04
- Your father...
- Father would like me to be composed
:05:07
- and to join in the conversation.
- Yes.
:05:10
- I can't, Aunt Lavinia.
- Perhaps you don't try sufficiently.
:05:13
Oh, I do! I do!
I would do anything to please him.
:05:16
There's nothing
that means more to me.
:05:19
I have sat here in my room
:05:20
and made notes of the things I should
say and how I should say them.
:05:24
But when I am in company, it seems
that no one wants to listen to me.
:05:27
Now, Catherine.
If you will stay by me this evening,
:05:30
you will see that what I say is not
always of the greatest importance
:05:34
but, dear,
that doesn't keep me from talking.
:05:37
Yes, Aunt.
:05:38
Now, I'll finish dressing
and meet you downstairs.
:06:00
Father!
:06:01
Come in, Catherine.
:06:04
Good evening, Father.
Do I disturb you?
:06:06
You are not a disturbing woman,
my dear.
:06:14
Do you like my dress?
:06:16
Is it possible this
magnificent person is my daughter?
:06:20
But you are sumptuous, opulent.
:06:23
You look as if
you have 80,000 a year.
:06:25
- I thought you'd like the colour.
- Yes.
:06:28
- It's cherry red.
- So it is.
:06:31
I believe my mother used to wear it.
:06:35
In her hair ribbons, Austin.
:06:39
Ah, yes.
:06:41
But, Catherine, your mother was fair.
:06:44
She dominated the colour.
:06:47
Well, I must dress.
:06:52
I'll try not to keep you waiting.
:06:56
Oh, I must pack our silver punch cups
for Aunt Elizabeth.
