(keys jingle)
:37:24
- Oh, Father!
- Have you waited up for me?
:37:27
- Yes, I have something to tell you.
- Have you?
:37:30
- Yes!
- Well...
:37:33
Let us go into the back parlour
and hear it.
:37:42
Now, my dear, do you suppose
that we might both sit down?
:38:00
- Well, now...
- I'm engaged to be married.
:38:08
You do right to tell me.
:38:12
And whom have you honoured
with your choice?
:38:15
Mr Morris Townsend.
:38:19
- You have gone fast.
- Yes, I think we have.
:38:25
Mr Townsend ought to have waited
and told me.
:38:28
He means to tell you
tomorrow morning at 11:00.
:38:31
It's not quite the same thing,
my dear.
:38:34
You shouldn't be pleading for him.
He should plead for you.
:38:38
Yes, Father, but I think
he is a little afraid of you.
:38:42
- Is he?
- He fears that you do not like him.
:38:47
Well, I hardly know him, Catherine.
:38:50
But our liking each other
isn't important.
:38:52
The only thing that is important
is that he loves you.
:38:56
He does. He loves me and I love him.
