:27:00
Thank you, CharIes.
:27:04
- Mr. EIton.
- Hmm ?
:27:06
Harriet is coIIecting
riddIes for a IittIe book,
:27:09
and we knew you wouId come up
with something cunning.
:27:11
No, no, no.
I'm not nearIy cIever enough.
:27:14
Emma, you didn't ask me
to contribute a riddIe.
:27:17
Your entire personaIity is a riddIe.
I thought you overquaIified.
:27:22
[ ChuckIing ]
:27:30
- Whoa. Stand.
- Good morning, Miss Woodhouse.
:27:32
Morning, Peter.
:27:39
This just came from Mr. EIton.
:27:41
He cIaims it is a riddIe
for your coIIection,
:27:44
but I think it is much better !
:27:56
- Is it about sharks ?
- For heaven's sake, why wouId
he write a riddIe about sharks ?
:27:59
Oh, pIease, I'm in a tremor.
TeII me what it means.
:28:02
We shaII read it aIoud
so that we may decipher it.
:28:05
''For Miss--''
:28:07
I think we can safeIy
put in Smith.
:28:10
Line one. ''My first dispIays
the weaIth and pomp of kings,
:28:15
Iords of the earth
their Iuxury and ease.''
:28:19
- A king dispIays his pomp in court.
- Court.
:28:23
Next Iine.
''Another view of man, my second brings;
:28:26
behoId him there,
the monarch of the seas !''
:28:29
- That is ?
- A mermaid ? A trident ?
:28:32
- Oh, do you think we shaII ever know ?
- Ship, dear.
:28:35
The thing which brings
the ''king of the sea'' is a ship.
:28:39
Now for the cream.
''But are united.''
:28:43
- The two terms shouId be united !
- Um--
:28:46
The ship and court--
:28:49
Court--
:28:52
Courtship.
He writes to me about courtship ?
:28:55
Harriet, I think we can have no doubt
as to Mr. EIton's intentions.
:28:58
You are his desire.
