Why did she write this?
:40:13
I suppose because we talked
things over yesterday.
:40:17
What things?
:40:19
I told her that I was afraid
I hadn't always been fair to her...
:40:24
...and hadn't always understood
how hard it must have been for her.
:40:28
I knew she could always
count on you...
:40:31
...and I wanted her to know that you
and I were the same in our feelings.
:40:37
She understood why I wanted
to tell her this.
:40:40
I think she understands everything.
:40:54
My head aches too.
:40:59
- Good night, dear.
- Good night.

It was, as Mrs. Archer said,
a great event for a young couple...
:41:24
...to give their first dinner.
It was not to be undertaken lightly.
:41:29
There was a hired chef, two borrowed
footmen, roses from Hendersons...
:41:34
...Roman punch, and menus
on gilt-edged cards.
:41:38
It was a particular triumph
that the van der Luydens...
:41:41
...at May's request...
:41:43
...stayed in the city to be present
at her farewell dinner...
:41:48
...for the Countess Olenska.
:41:52
Archer saw all the harmless-looking
people at the table...
:41:56
...as a band of quiet conspirators...
