:30:00
Ah. You mustn't be too much bent
on a fortune.
:30:05
I'd looked forward
to an evening at home,
:30:07
but the hospital commission
is session and I am to address them.
:30:10
I understand, sir.
:30:11
- Lavinia, I hope you'll excuse me.
- Of course.
:30:14
Catherine, you will extend the
honours of the house to Mr Townsend.
:30:18
I'm very grateful for your interest,
sir.
:30:21
Yes. Yes, indeed.
:30:30
He doesn't like me.
:30:33
- He doesn't like me at all.
- I don't see how you know.
:30:36
- I feel. I'm very quick to feel.
- Perhaps you are mistaken.
:30:42
You ask him and you'll see.
:30:44
- Then, I would rather not ask him.
- Right.
:30:50
- But you wouldn't contradict him.
- I'd never contradict him.
:31:01
Austin,
isn't he a charming young man?
:31:03
I never dreamed
he'd be so interested in Catherine.
:31:06
- Nor did I.
- He's so agreeable. So elegant.
:31:09
He may find it hard to maintain
elegance without working for it.
:31:12
But he's looking for a position
earnestly.
:31:15
I wonder if he's looking for it here,
Lavinia.
:31:17
Wouldn't being husband to a
defenceless girl with a large fortune
:31:21
suit him to perfection?
:31:22
- How can you entertain suspicion?
- Suspicion? It's a diagnosis, dear.
:31:26
You're not in your clinic now. Morris
would be a feather in any girl's cap.
:31:30
You've only to use your eyes,
which are as good as mine.
:31:33
Better.
:31:34
Austin, you must help this along
and be thankful that it's come about.
:31:38
Very well. When I'm being thankful,
:31:40
I hope you will not forget
your duties as chaperone.
:31:43
- Good night, my dear.
- Good night, Austin.
:31:50
Have you any spirit of camphor?
I have one of my headaches.
:31:54
- Headaches?
- I'm sorry.
:31:55
They strike like a thief
in the night.
:31:58
- Permit me to retire.
- Of course.
