:55:02
Walking around the square, sir.
Or in the park.
:55:06
Then perhaps it would be
departing too much from tradition...
:55:09
if you were to come with me
to a music hall.
:55:12
- Do you mean it?
- I always mean what I say.
:55:17
I shall meet you at 7:50
at the corner of the square.
:55:20
You're a rum 'un. I thought
you was never going to do nothing.
:55:25
That will do. Answer the bell.
:55:36
Is Mrs. Mallen at home?
:55:38
- What name should I say, sir?
- Her cousin, Mr. Ullswater.
:55:42
Very good, sir.
:55:59
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
:56:03
Will you come in here for a moment?
:56:14
See that Mrs. Mallen
is not informed of this call.
:56:17
Very good, sir.
:56:18
I hope you'll forgive
my calling at this hour...
:56:21
but I happened to be in London,
and I'd hoped to see Bella.
:56:23
I'm sorry,
but my wife is unable to see you.
:56:30
Mr. Mallen,
this is a little difficult to explain...
:56:33
but you may remember
that at the time of your marriage...
:56:36
there was a slight friction between us.
:56:38
I was peculiarly alive to the fact.
:56:41
My sister and I
have long regretted these differences.
:56:43
They've kept us separated
from Bella too long.
:56:46
In your opinion.
:56:48
We want to see her again,
have her stay with us in Devonshire.
:56:51
The air always used to do her
so much good down there.
:56:54
- You're under the impression she's ill?
- Well...
:56:57
And what has given you that impression?
:56:59
- She was never strong.
- I'm the best guardian of my wife's health.
