:04:31
Is Miss Lloyd connected
to Lloyd's Bank?
:04:34
No. No.
:04:36
Pity.
:04:37
But she's comfortable, Ada.
A thousand a year.
:04:40
Then I congratulate you,
Lady Wilde.
:04:43
Now that Oscar's been to America
:04:45
and sown his Wildean oats,
:04:47
it's time he settled down.
:04:48
But weren't they very rough?
:04:50
No. Charming.
Well, charming to me.
:04:52
With each other,
they were a little brusque.
:04:55
They hanged two men in a theatre
:04:56
just before I gave a lecture.
:04:58
I felt like the sorbet
after a side of beef.
:05:02
I know your friend
is famous, Ada.
:05:05
Notorious, at least.
:05:07
But I don't understand for what.
:05:09
For being himself,
Lady Mount-Temple.
:05:12
Don't Americans talk
the most wonderful slang?
:05:15
I did hear one lady say,
:05:17
"After the heel-lick,
I shifted my day goods. "
:05:20
What on earth did she mean?
:05:21
She'd changed her clothes
after an afternoon dance.
:05:24
Connie, my love,
:05:26
Lady Mount-Temple
is so anxious to meet you.
:05:30
I knew your father, Miss Lloyd.
:05:32
She's delightful.
And not stupid.
:05:34
Really, not stupid at all.
:05:36
Is that quite a reason
to marry her?
:05:39
Well, I must marry someone.
:05:42
My mother has our future
planned out in every detail.
:05:45
I'm to go into Parliament.
:05:47
We're going to have a nice house
:05:48
and live a proper settled life.
:05:50
Literature, lectures,
the House of Commons.
:05:52
Receptions for the world
in general at five o'clock.
:05:55
How dreary.
:05:56
Your attendance will not
be required at those.
:05:58
But your sphinxiness
