:39:12
- Hello, Dad.
- Who's this?
:39:14
This is Mary Taylor.
Mary, this is my father.
:39:16
- How do you do, Mr Rutland?
- A girl, is it?
:39:19
It's alright, Dad. She's not really
a girl, she's a horse-fancier.
:39:22
The track's closed. I thought if
I brought her to see your horses,
:39:25
- I'd hold her attention a bit longer.
- Splendid, splendid!
:39:28
Come along, my dear.
I was just about to have a cup of tea.
:39:38
Oh, Mary, this is my
sister-in-law, Lil Mainwaring.
:39:40
- Mary Taylor.
- How do you do?
:39:43
Hi. I've seen you
at Rutland's, haven't I?
:39:45
(Rutland) It bewilders me what any
of you can find to do at Rutland's.
:39:52
Oh, dear! I think I rather sprained
my wrist this afternoon.
:39:56
There 's sure to be droppage
and spillage. Would you mind awfully?
:40:02
(Rutland) Strong, please.
No milk, two lumps of sugar.
:40:06
The meals in this house
are shocking bad,
:40:08
but I do insist on good
Horn and Hardart cake at tea.
:40:11
You take yours with lemon,
don't you, Lil?
:40:14
Yes, lemon for Lil, Mary.
:40:18
Strong with a dash of rum for me.
:40:20
(Rutland) Spinster's tea.
Mucking up tea with strong drink.
:40:24
- Something sneaky about it, eh?
- What's your opinion, Miss Taylor?
:40:27
Do you think old Mark here
is a sneaky one?
:40:31
Possibly.
:40:34
How do you take your tea, Miss Taylor?
:40:37
Usually with a cup
of hot water and a tea bag.
:40:39
(Rutland) Lazy habit, my dear.
:40:41
I'll have quite a large slice
of that butter cake, please.
:40:44
- Do you ride, Miss Taylor?
- A little.
:40:47
Best thing in the world
for the inside of a man or woman
:40:49
is the outside of a horse.
:40:51
I shouldn't think you'd find
old Mark very interesting.
:40:54
- Doesn't hunt. Doesn't even ride!
- Please, Dad!
:40:56
I was hoping to lead up
gently to all that.
:40:58
I'd even planned to show her
the horses first.
