:27:02
l had no idea you were staying here.
:27:04
Not that it would have disturbed me
in the slightest if l had known.
:27:08
You see, until l met you,
l had only ever experienced desire.
:27:11
Love, never.
:27:14
-That's enough.
-No, no...
:27:15
...you've made an accusation.
:27:17
You must allow me the opportunity
to defend myself.
:27:19
l'm not going to deny
that l was aware of your beauty...
:27:22
...but the point is,
this has nothing to do with your beauty.
:27:26
As l got to know you, l began to realise...
:27:28
...that beauty was the least
of your qualities.
:27:31
l became fascinated by your goodness.
:27:33
l was drawn in by it.
:27:34
l didn't understand
what was happening to me.
:27:37
lt was only when l began to feel
actual physical pain...
:27:40
...every time you left the room...
:27:42
...that it finally dawned on me.
l was in love.
:27:47
...but that didn't matter to me.
:27:49
lt's not that l want to have you,
all l want is to deserve you.
:27:54
Tell me what to do.
:27:55
Show me how to behave.
l'll do anything you say.
:28:00
Very well, then.
l would like you to leave this house.
:28:06
l don't see why that should be necessary.
:28:08
Let's just say you've spent
your whole life making it necessary.
:28:11
And if you refuse,
l shall be forced to leave myself.
:28:14
Well then, of course, whatever you say.
:28:17
Thank you.
:28:25
Perhaps l might be so bold
as to ask a favour in return?
:28:29
l think it would only be
just to let me know...
:28:31
...which of your friends
has blackened my name.
:28:33
lf friends of mine have warned me
against you...
:28:35
...l could hardly reward them
with betrayal.
:28:38
l must say,
you devalue your generous offer...
:28:40
...if you want to use it
as a bargaining point.
:28:42
Very well, l withdraw the request.
:28:43
l hope you won't think l'm bargaining
if l ask you to let me write to you.
:28:47
-Well--
-And pray that you will do me...
:28:48
...the kindness of answering my letters.
:28:50
l'm not sure a correspondence with you...
:28:52
...is something a woman of honour
could permit herself.
:28:54
You're determined to refuse
my suggestions, however respectable.
:28:57
-l didn't say that.
-And you'd rather be unjust...
:28:59
...than risk showing me
a touch of kindness?
