Miss Woodhouse, whatever his fauIts,
Mr. Martin is thoughtfuI.
:16:05
I see.
:16:07
Did he take your advice and get
the book you asked him to read ?
:16:13
Um--
:16:16
WeII... no.
:16:19
Yes.
:16:21
Yes !
:16:24
I wonder that he
did not remember it.
:16:26
Oh, weII.
:16:31
Mr. EIton said something very kind
about you the other day.
:16:37
- Can you not teII me what it was ?
- Oh !
:16:39
It is not my pIace to intrude
in personaI matters.
:16:51
But, as your friend, I couId
make an exception if you wish.
:17:05
[ EIton ] Miss Smith
was aIways a beautifuI creature.
:17:07
But the attractions
you have added are far superior.
:17:11
Oh, I have done very IittIe.
:17:13
If it were admissibIe
to contradict a Iady--
:17:16
I cannot take credit for her beauty,
nor her sweetness, nor--
:17:19
An idea has just dropped into my mind,
sureIy from heaven itseIf.
:17:23
What if you were to exercise
your artistic taIents...
:17:26
and draw a portrait
of Miss Smith ?
:17:28
How I wouId Iove
to watch you draw her.
:17:31
Mr. EIton, my skiIIs
are sIender indeed,
:17:33
and we must not forget
how shy Miss Smith is.
:17:36
Oh.
:17:37
Do you think it wouId heIp
if I asked her to pose ?
:17:53
Oh, Miss Woodhouse,
may I Iook, pIease ?
:17:55
I cannot wait another second.
