:31:03
Yes.
:31:06
You knew from the first, didn't you?
:31:09
Yes.
:31:27
- It's hot.
- Mmm.
:31:31
- How was the trip?
- Pleasant.
:31:33
- How is Sylvia?
- Pretty, as always.
:31:37
- I brought the plantation accounts.
- Thanks.
:31:40
I've a bit of news.
:31:42
I've decided to stand for the legislature
in the next election.
:31:48
- Why?
- Why not?
:31:51
It's no good our sitting around
saying the island is going to the dogs...
:31:54
and not doing anything about it,
right, Mother?
:31:56
I wasn't even aware
the island was going to the dogs.
:31:59
Boyeur has got a great deal
of influence in your district.
:32:02
Are you afraid of Boyeur too?
:32:04
He represents the people, or they think he does.
It amounts to the same thing.
:32:09
You don't think I have
a chance of winning, do you?
:32:13
- No.
- Well, I do!
:32:15
I'm not afraid of Boyeur!
I'm not afraid of opposing him!
:32:19
Is there something to drink?
I'd like a sour.
:32:21
Right.
:32:28
Your father and I were talking about
taking Jocelyn to England for a while.
:32:32
It's death for a young girl
like her on this island.
:32:35
She ought to have the chance
of meeting the right people, don't you think?
:32:38
Do you think he'd ever trust me
to run the estate single-handed?
:32:41
Your father felt like that about
the election because he was concerned for you...
:32:45
- what a defeat might mean to you.
- Was he?
:32:48
I don't remember his ever
being concerned about me before.
:32:52
I can't remember his ever
worrying whether or not I went to England...
:32:55
whether I ever had a chance
to meet the right people.
:32:58
All I've ever had
is this dreary island.
