: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
:06:00
will be essential
for our dinners at eight.
:06:02
'Twill be
a grand life, a charming life.
:06:05
I see Constance will be busy
preparing the dinners.
:06:08
What will she contribute to
the literature and lectures?
:06:11
She'll correct the proofs
of my articles.
:06:13
What a little sunbeam!
:06:22
I do love her, Ada.
:06:24
She's...
:06:25
Silent.
:06:27
I find her very silent.
:06:29
But so sympathetic.
:06:31
And I do need an audience.
