1:02:00
It's good to be home, isn't it,
Father?
1:02:02
You'll feel better
now that we're back.
1:02:06
I... I wish you had let me
try to care of you a little.
1:02:14
- Here you are, Austin.
- Thank you, Lavinia.
1:02:16
Your brandy decanter is right there.
1:02:19
Well...
1:02:21
Have you taken to drink, Lavinia?
1:02:25
My heart,
I thought it would help my heart.
1:02:27
Ah, yes.
1:02:31
I know I shouldn't ask, Catherine,
but did you bring me something?
1:02:34
- We brought you a silk parasol.
- Just exactly what I wanted.
1:02:38
Come and show it to me.
1:02:39
Your heart would improve, Lavinia,
if you stopped smoking cigars.
1:02:43
When I come home to find
an empty brandy glass
1:02:47
and a particular cigar brand,
I can only think of one person.
1:02:51
Well, what's happened to Mr Townsend?
1:02:54
- Is he upstairs in my bed?
- Austin, I forgot to tell you.
1:02:57
- He did stop by this evening.
- This evening?
1:03:00
- Was he here this evening, Aunt?
- Yes, yes.
1:03:03
- He's made my house his club.
- You should be in bed.
1:03:07
Now, I'll just see that everything
has been attended to.
1:03:14
What a ridiculous position to be in.
1:03:18
Well, I suppose you'll be going off
with him any time now.
1:03:22
Yes, if he will have me.
1:03:25
Why not? You'll be
a most entertaining companion.
1:03:28
- I will try to be.
- Your gaiety and brilliance
1:03:31
will make up the difference between
the 10,000 a year you will have
1:03:35
and the 30,000 he expects.
1:03:37
He expects nothing.
He does not love me for that.
1:03:40
No? What else, then?
1:03:42
Your grace, your charm,
your quick tongue and subtle wit?
1:03:46
He admires me.
1:03:48
I've tried for months
not to be unkind.
1:03:50
But now it's time
for you to realise the truth.
1:03:52
How many girls do you think he might
have had in this town?
1:03:56
- He finds me pleasing.
- Oh, yes, I'm sure he does.
1:03:59
A hundred women are prettier,
a thousand more clever.
