:13:02
Are you coming to the music room?
:13:03
Not if there's any music
going on, Miss Mabel.
:13:07
Well,... the music is in German,
so you would not understand it.
:13:11
Quite so, quite so.
:13:14
- Arthur!
- Gertrude, good evening.
:13:16
I didn't think you liked political parties.
:13:19
I adore them. They're the only place left
where people don't talk politics.
:13:26
The affair to which you allude
was no more than a speculation.
:13:30
It was a swindle, Sir Robert.
:13:32
Let us call things by their proper names.
It makes matters simpler.
:13:36
Now I'm going to sell you
that letter back...
:13:38
.. and the price I ask is your public support
of the Argentine scheme.
:13:45
I cannot do what you ask me.
:13:47
You are standing
on the edge of a precipice.
:13:50
- Supposing you refuse...
- What then?
:13:53
Suppose I were to pay a visit
to a newspaper office...
:13:56
.. and give them this scandal
and the proof of it.
:13:59
Think of their joy and the delight
they would have in tearing you down.
:14:03
Think of... Sir Edward!
:14:05
My dear Mrs Cheveley,...
:14:08
.. I do hope
we have the opportunity to meet up.
:14:11
I so enjoy the cut and thrust
of continental politics.
:14:14
I shall make it a particular priority.
:14:17
Sir Robert.
:14:25
It is infamous, what you propose.
:14:27
Infamous!
:14:29
Oh, no. It is the game of life, Sir Robert,...
:14:32
.. as we all have to play it...
:14:34
.. sooner or later.
:14:58
What a charming house.
I have spent a delightful evening.
