Is that where you're from, Shillingworth?
:22:04
It can't be just plain Shillingworth. Must be
Shillingworth-on-the something or other.

:22:09
- On the Thames.
- Where else?

:22:14
- I played!
- Wait a minute. Wait.

:22:21
It's a strange country, isn't it?
:22:24
Any country's strange... to a stranger.
:22:28
Thank you for that.
:22:31
- Enough of that.
- Please, must you stop?

:22:33
It's getting late.
:22:35
According to the men,
the evening's just beginning.

:22:37
That's when I steal away to Carver Castle.
It's a little different in size from this.

:22:42
They warned me you were unsociable.
Are you really?

:22:47
In your case,
it would be for a different reason.

:22:51
Pardon me for staring at you.
:22:53
But it's a new experience
to see someone like you around here.

:22:57
A dress as pretty as that, smelling of Paris.
:23:03
Look at that!
:23:13
- Tell me about the elephants.
- Are we changing the subject?

:23:16
I would like to know more about Ceylon.
:23:19
Those elephants have been making trouble
for 40 years...

:23:22
and they'll go on making trouble
for another 40.

:23:24
They must resent this house a lot.
:23:27
- Wouldn't you if you were an elephant?
- Yes.

:23:32
I wonder why he did it.
:23:34
Why he built across their trail,
why he insisted on his grave being there.

:23:39
Tom Wiley was Tom Wiley.
:23:41
That doesn't tell me very much.
:23:43
He was the best tea planter in Ceylon
or anywhere else.

:23:46
But they talk about him
as if he'd been a king.

:23:49
He was a king, in his way.
:23:51
But what kind of a man beneath it all?
:23:55
Hard, stubborn.
:23:58
Too stubborn even to die.
