:44:02
It might attract the wrong type.
The trains have improved so.
:44:06
Fatal. What are five miles
from the station these days?
:44:11
Sir Harry, how about spinsters as tenants?
:44:14
Most certainly!
That is, if they are gentlewomen.
:44:17
Indeed they are. Miss Teresa
and Miss Catharine Alan. I met them in Italy.
:44:23
Sir Harry, beware of these gentlewomen.
Only let to a man.
:44:29
Provided, of course, he's clean.
:44:31
You'd love the Miss Alans.
:44:33
I don't think I'd like anyone at that pensione.
:44:37
Wasn't there a lady novelist
and a free-thinking father and son?
:44:42
I have no profession.
My attitude - quite indefensible -
:44:46
is that, if I trouble no one, I may do as I like.
:44:50
It is, I dare say, an example of my decadence.
:44:53
You're very fortunate.
Leisure is a wonderful opportunity.
:45:00
Don't slouch, Lucy. Go and talk
to Mrs. Pool. Ask her about her leg.
:45:05
Would Cecil and I be missed
if we went for a walk?
:45:09
I think it would be all right.
Don't get your frock muddied.
:45:32
It's disgusting the way an engagement
is regarded as public property.
:45:37
All those old women smirking.
:45:40
One has to go through it.
They won't notice us much next time.
:45:44
But their whole attitude is wrong.
:45:48
An engagement -
horrid word in the first place -
:45:51
is a private matter
and should be regarded as such.
:45:54
Oh.
:45:57
- There's your philosophizing parson.
- Don't you like Mr. Beebe?
