Your father does not much
trouble to conceal his plans.
1:00:15
Which are?
For us to marry, of course.
1:00:19
Indeed.
1:00:22
Come. Sit by me.
1:00:36
Let us speak frankly.
1:00:39
My fortune is great, my birth is not.
1:00:43
So, I must choose
between a poor nobleman...
1:00:46
or a rich bourgeois like you.
1:00:53
Upon my word, you've
a very precise grasp of the matter.
1:00:57
I would have liked a title.
1:01:02
But my guardian says,
if you and I combine our fortunes,
1:01:06
we may buy one
whenever we wish.
1:01:15
I cannot believe you are
seriously suggesting Miss Swartz...
1:01:18
as the companion of
my heart and hearth!
1:01:20
Why not?
1:01:23
Well, to begin with,
she's not English.
1:01:27
Hoity-toity!
Less fastidious, if you please!
1:01:32
What's a shade or two of tawny when
there's half a million on the table?
1:01:37
Why, with that money, we'll have you
in the House of Lords in no time.
1:01:41
Just think. Dining at Kew,
dancing at Carlton House.
1:01:45
- And what of honor?
- Honor?
1:01:49
Yes. Honor.
1:01:51
You may buy a string of ancestors
to hang upon your walls,
1:01:54
but I see you have not bought
the breeding that goes with them.
1:01:58
- You made me give my word to Amelia.
- Be silent, sir!
