:21:01
I'd have changed it to Elaine.
:21:04
Why?
:21:06
I don't know.
:21:08
It sounds more...
:21:10
...Polish.
:21:13
It sounds more conspicuous.
That can hardly be what she wishes.
:21:17
Why shouldn't she be conspicuous
if she chooses?
:21:20
She made an awful marriage,
but should she hide her head?
:21:24
Should she slink around
as if she disgraced herself?
:21:28
She's had a sad life.
That doesn't make her an outcast.
:21:32
I'm sure that's the line
the Mingotts mean to take.
:21:36
I needn't wait for their cue,
if that's what you mean.
:21:40
I'm told she's looking for a house.
She intends to live here.
:21:45
I hear she means to get a divorce.
:21:49
I hope she will.
:21:53
Understandably, her marriage
was intolerable.
:21:58
- There are the rumors too.
- I've heard them.
:22:01
The secretary.
:22:05
He helped get her away
from the husband.
:22:10
They say the count kept her
practically a prisoner.
:22:13
Certainly the count
had his own way of life.
:22:19
- You knew him?
- I heard of him at Nice.
:22:22
Handsome, they say...
:22:26
...but eyes with a lot of lashes.
:22:29
When he wasn't with women...
:22:32
...he was collecting china.
:22:35
Paying any price for both,
I understand.
:22:38
Then where's the blame?
:22:40
Any one of us would have helped the
countess, just as the secretary did.
:22:45
He was still helping her a year later.
:22:48
Somebody met them
living together at Lausanne.
:22:52
Living together?
:22:55
Why not? She has the right
to make her life over.
:22:59
Why bury a woman alive
if her husband prefers whores?
