- Good morning, Mama.
- What has happened?
:43:25
Since you visit your old mother
at seven in the morning...
:43:30
I have broken off with Count Malcolm.
:43:33
- Someone else?
- Perhaps.
:43:36
- Do I know him?
- Perhaps you do.
:43:39
- Better or worse?
- That depends on your angle.
:43:43
Besides, he is not aware of
his promotion.
:43:46
Look at that!
The Patience came out.
:43:51
- It always does if one cheats a little.
- You're wrong.
:43:54
Patience is the only thing in life
that calls for absolute morality.
:43:59
- What were we talking about?
- My husband-to-be.
:44:02
A very interesting subject
- at least for you, dear girl.
:44:07
- Why did you break with the count?
- He threatened me with a poker.
:44:13
That was very naughty of the count.
:44:16
- In all probability he had his reasons.
- For once I really was innocent.
:44:22
It must have been
early in the evening.
:44:25
- And what did you do?
- I hit him on the head with the poker.
:44:30
- What did the count say then?
- We elected to part amicably.
:44:34
Very wise. A former lover with whom
one is on friendly terms can be useful.
:44:40
- What were we talking about?
- What we were talking about.
:44:44
It was different in my day. Your father
once threw me out of a window.
:44:50
- Was it open?
- No, closed.
:44:53
I fell straight onto a lieutenant-colonel.
:44:56
- He later became your father.
- You said my father threw you out.
:44:59
He became your father later, I said.
