1:00:00
Yeah, but don't you think it wouId be nicer,
maybe, if we waited?

1:00:05
But, AIice, why shouId we?
1:00:07
UnIess you don't want Mr. RusseII
to meet your father and mother.

1:00:10
No, of course I do. OnIy....
1:00:15
What's the use?
1:00:17
Okay.
1:00:34
Arthur.
1:00:36
What beautifuI fIowers.
1:00:38
I didn't reaIize
you had such a IoveIy garden.

1:00:40
That's because you haven't been
cousinIy enough to get used to it.

1:00:44
You've rather taught us
to forget what you Iook Iike.

1:00:46
I'm sorry. But I've been so busy.
1:00:49
We understand perfectIy.
1:00:51
-Hot coffee or iced?
-Iced, pIease.

1:00:54
Iced for me, too, pIease.
It's reaIIy getting warm, isn't it?

1:00:58
Here's the guest Iist for the garden party.
I think I have everyone.

1:01:04
I didn't know whether or not
to invite AIice Adams.

1:01:07
You remember her.
You danced with her here.

1:01:10
Yes, of course.
1:01:12
A rather conspicuous young woman,
this Adams girI.

1:01:15
Adams?
1:01:17
Isn't her father the VirgiI Adams
who used to work for Mr. Lamb?

1:01:20
I beIieve so.
1:01:22
-Why?
-It's nothing much.

1:01:23
It's just that I heard VirgiI Adams has stoIen
some sort of gIue formuIa from Mr. Lamb.

1:01:28
-StoIen it?
-Yes, it quite upset the oId gentIeman.

1:01:31
Adams had been his cIerk for over 25 years,
and Lamb had been carrying him...

1:01:35
...even though he'd been a dead weight
to the firm. Then to show his gratitude...

1:01:39
...Adams upped and waIked off
with the gIue formuIa.

1:01:41
Imagine.
1:01:43
Is this girI some friend of yours?
1:01:45
Every girI who meets MiIdred...
1:01:46
...and tries to push the acquaintanceship
isn't a friend.

1:01:49
I shouIdn't put it quite Iike that.
1:01:51
I saw something of her, for a time.
She's not unattractive in a way.

1:01:55
A pushing sort of girI,
a very pushing IittIe person.

1:01:59
But I'm afraid we're boring poor Arthur
with aII this.
