:27:01
- Catherine?
- Oh!
:27:03
Yes. I stopped by to see Mr Rutini
after breakfast.
:27:07
Oh, yes, about the lessons.
What did he say?
:27:11
You need a very true ear
for the harp.
:27:13
It seems that I
have not a very true ear.
:27:16
Nonsense.
Your mother's ear was impeccable.
:27:19
Yes, Father, I know.
:27:21
She used to tune her own piano.
:27:23
Miss Sloper has a great appreciation
for music.
:27:25
That is a talent in itself.
:27:28
Ah.
:27:31
- Is cook's knee any better, Maria?
- It is a little easier, Doctor.
:27:34
I'll be up to see her in a while.
Here. Give that to Mr Townsend.
:27:40
You're very kind, sir.
:27:42
Most great doctors are too busy to
see the illness under their noses.
:27:45
You're full of flattering
observations,
:27:48
both for Catherine and myself.
:27:49
That is the way you both strike me.
I told Miss Sloper, I'm very candid.
:27:53
Oh, yes, he is. Very candid.
:27:58
How long do you plan to remain
in our city, Mr Townsend?
:28:01
Oh, my stay is quite indefinite, sir.
:28:03
Will you dine with us
one evening this week?
:28:05
- I should be delighted.
- Shall we say Thursday, at six?
:28:08
- Thank you, sir.
- Ah!
:28:12
I was there quite a while.
Not as long as I should've liked.
:28:15
- I think you'll find Paris changed.
- I hope not.
:28:17
I should like it to be
exactly as it was.
:28:19
Dr Sloper went there
on his wedding trip.
:28:22
In that case, Paris can never change
for you, Doctor.
:28:26
How do you keep busy since your
return to New York, Mr Townsend?
:28:30
I'm looking for a position.
:28:32
Your studies abroad
should open many avenues to you.
:28:35
If I'd engaged in those studies,
Miss Penniman.
:28:38
I was merely idling.
:28:40
You see, I had a small inheritance
and... that was how I used it up.
:28:44
What sort of position
should you prefer?
:28:47
What am I fit for?
Very little, I'm afraid.
:28:49
I have nothing but my good right arm,
as they say in the melodramas.
:28:53
You're too modest. In addition to
that arm you have a very good mind.
:28:56
I know from what I see
that you are extremely intelligent.
