:29:00
Wellington I grant you, hmm,
:29:03
but, um, it is hard
to match Nelson's heroism...

:29:07
with his private life.
:29:09
The life of Alexander
did not bear much scrutiny.

:29:12
Is he not a hero, either?
Quite right, Miss Sharp.

:29:16
And to my mind, that was
the best part of Nelson's character!

:29:20
He went to the deuce for a woman.
:29:23
There must be some good
in a man who'll do that.
Hmm.

:29:25
I adore imprudent matches.
:29:29
- Wellington and Nelson.
- Wellington...

:29:32
Mm. You set no store
by birth, then?

:29:35
Birth?
Look at this family.!

:29:40
We've been
at Queen's Crawley
since Henry II,

:29:43
but not one of us here
is as clever as Miss Sharp.

:29:48
- To all the King's officers!
- All the King's officers!

:29:52
The King's officers.
:29:58
Mmm, lobster.
:30:04
Delicious.
:30:15
Come in, my dear.
I've left my toadies in London.

:30:19
And what bores they are
downstairs.

:30:21
It falls to you
to make me laugh.

:30:23
She's clever enough,
isn't she, Firkin?

:30:25
I think Miss seems
very clever.
Oh, yes.

:30:28
If merit had its just reward,
you ought to be a duchess.

:30:31
Mm.
You set no store by birth, then?

:30:34
Mm.
:30:36
Silly old fool,
grabbing at my money
for her daughter's intended,

:30:40
that hypocrite Pitt.
:30:42
He should put down his Bible
and do the dirty work himself.

:30:44
With a decent position,
you could put the world on a leash.

:30:49
Perhaps I'll surprise you
and run away with a great man.

:30:52
Oh, that'd be perfect.
I love elopements.

:30:54
I've set my heart on Rawdon
running away with someone.

:30:57
A rich someone
or a poor someone?
