:02:01
A lady is coming to see me
on particular business.
:02:04
- Show her into the drawing room.
- Yes, my lord.
:02:07
This is a matter of the gravest importance.
:02:10
I understand.
:02:11
No-one else is to be admitted.
Tell them I'm not at home.
:02:15
I understand, my lord.
:02:17
- Arthur...
- Yes, Father.
:02:27
Good evening, Phipps.
:02:30
How nice to see you again, madam.
:02:38
His lordship is engaged at present
with Lord Caversham, madam.
:02:42
How very filial.
:02:44
His lordship told me to ask you,
madam,...
:02:47
.. to be kind enough
to wait in the drawing room for him.
:02:51
His lordship will come to you there.
:02:53
- Lord Goring expects me?
- Yes, madam.
:02:56
Are you quite sure?
:02:58
His lordship's directions...
:03:00
.. on the subject were very precise.
:03:03
No, I don't care for that lamp.
It is too glaring. Light some candles.
:03:07
Certainly, madam.
:03:10
Marriage is not a matter...
:03:12
.. of affection, sir,
it is a question of common sense.
:03:16
But women who have common sense
are always so curiously plain.
:03:20
I'm only speaking from hearsay.
:03:22
No woman has any common sense
at all, sir.
:03:24
- It is the privilege of our sex.
- Quite so.
:03:27
And we men are so self-sacrificing
we never use it, do we?
:03:30
- I use it, sir! I use nothing else!
- Mmm, so my mother tells me.
:03:34
It is the secret
of your mother's happiness.
:03:37
What was that?
:03:41
Nothing, Father, nothing.
:03:43
You are heartless, sir,... very heartless.
:03:47
Oh, I hope not, Father.
:03:54
When you left this afternoon,...
:03:56
.. my life fell apart.
