:25:10
You know,
I think of you constantly.
:25:15
I'm not very good
at this kind of conversation.
:25:18
Neither am I.
:25:20
I'm afraid that is our trouble.
I am not a glib man, Miss Sloper.
:25:23
I think you talk very well.
:25:25
Not when I need it most.
:25:27
Oh, with Miss Penniman,
or in my room at home
:25:30
I can think of the most delightful
things to say.
:25:34
- Can you understand that?
- Yes, I can.
:25:38
But here with you,
I sound like a fool.
:25:41
I don't think so.
:25:43
You don't?
Well, if ever you do think so,
:25:45
if ever I sound high-blown or false,
put it down to that, will you?
:25:52
- I will try.
- And... take pity on my situation.
:25:57
What situation?
:26:00
Miss Sloper...
:26:02
...I have fallen in love with you.
:26:06
You have?
:26:15
- Ah, Catherine. Are you receiving?
- Yes, Father. I have a visitor.
:26:19
Morning, my dear.
How do you do, Mr Townsend?
:26:22
- Morning, Dr Sloper.
- Is your cousin here with you?
:26:25
No. I'm on my own.
:26:26
- I hope you don't mind.
- Delighted.
:26:28
I have taken the liberty of calling
on a most attractive young lady.
:26:32
- And her attractive father.
- Oh, we're not that attractive!
:26:36
I'd like my sherry and biscuits.
:26:38
Perhaps Mr Townsend
might enjoy some with me.
:26:41
I'd be honoured.
:26:44
Hmm. That's an excellent bay rum
you're using, Mr Townsend.
:26:47
I brought it with me from France.
Permit me to share it with you.
:26:50
Thank you. Very kind.
But I can hardly let you do that.
:26:56
Well, have you been out this morning,
my dear?
