play.

next.

:37:02
Who was that?
:37:04
It's my neighbor,
the Marquess of Steyne.
Why?

:37:08
No reason.
:37:26
Are you going out?
I'm meeting Tarquin and Villiers.

:37:30
And the rest of the chaps.
:37:33
We might play some billiards.
Ah, yeah.

:37:36
Lord Tarquin
and the HonorableJohn Villiers.

:37:41
It is not done to pronounce
"the Honorable" aloud.

:37:43
Well, well.
You know these things
better than I.

:37:47
What I wonder is: Do they ask
you to their homes, these chaps?

:37:52
Do you meet their mothers
and their sisters?

:37:56
Sometimes.
:37:58
Because you shall not want,
you know?

:38:03
The British merchant's son
shan't want.

:38:06
You may marry whom you please
and keep her well.
Father.

:38:11
George is engaged.
It's understood...

:38:13
Then it can be un-understood.
:38:16
Don't you see, boy?
:38:18
There's nothing you can't have
if you will reach for it.

:38:22
Why not a viscount's daughter?
Better yet, an earl's.

:38:25
Or marry an heiress
and buy a peerage for yourself!

:38:32
You shouldn't read in a carriage.
It will make you sick.

:38:36
Reading always makes me sick.
:38:38
Who's it from?
:38:41
My friend, Amelia Sedley.
:38:43
I thought she might have set a date
for her marriage, but it seems not.

:38:46
And who is her intended?
Captain George Osborne.

:38:50
Osborne?
:38:52
Any relation to the Duke of Leeds?
:38:55
Oh, no, ma'am.
He's a tradesman's son.

:38:57
Oh!
I know Osborne.

:38:59
He's in one of the line regiments.
He's as green as this grass...
