:09:01
- How rotten for you.
- Yes, it was rather,
:09:04
because, you see,
we got on so well together.
:09:06
You and your father ?
:09:08
Yes. He was a lovely person--
very unusual.
:09:10
- What was he ?
- A painter.
:09:12
- Ah. Was he a good one ?
- Well, I thought so.
:09:15
But people didn't understand him.
:09:17
Yes, that's often the trouble.
:09:19
He painted trees.
At least it was one tree.
:09:23
You mean he painted the same
tree over and over again ?
:09:25
Yes. You see, he had a theory that
if you should fiind one perfect thing...
:09:29
or place or person,
you should stick to it.
:09:31
Do you think that's very silly ?
:09:33
Not at all.
I'm a fiirm believer in that myself.
:09:35
And what did you fiind
to do with yourself
while he was painting his tree ?
:09:39
Oh, I sat with him and I sketched
a little. I don't do it well, though.
:09:42
-You're going sketching this afternoon ?
-Yes.
:09:44
- Where ?
- I haven't made up my mind.
:09:46
- I'll drive you somewhere in the car.
- Oh, no, please. I didn't mean--
:09:49
Oh, nonsense.
Finish up that mess and we'll get along.
:09:52
Thank you. It's very kind of you,
but I'm not very hungry.
:09:55
Oh, come on.
Eat it up like a good girl.
:10:07
You're taking
long enough for that sketch.
I expect a really fiine work of art.
:10:11
Oh, no, don't look at it.
It's not nearly good enough.
:10:13
But it can't be
as bad as all that.
:10:15
Now, don't rub it all out.
Let me look at it fiirst.
:10:17
- It's the perspective.
I never can get it right.
- Let me see.
:10:20
Oh, dear.
Tell me, is it the perspective...
:10:22
that gives my nose that
curious twist in the middle ?
:10:25
- Well, you're not
a very easy subject to sketch.
- No ?
:10:27
- Your expression
keeps changing all the time.
- Does it ?
:10:30
Well, I'd concentrate on the view
instead if I were you.
:10:33
Much more worthwhile.
:10:35
It rather reminds me of our coastline
at home. Do you know Cornwall at all ?
:10:39
Yes. I went there once
with my father on holiday.
:10:42
I was in a shop once,
and I saw a postcard...
:10:45
with a beautiful house on it,
right by the sea.
:10:48
And I asked whose house it was, and
the old lady said, ''That's Manderley.''
:10:51
- I felt ashamed for not knowing.
- Manderley is beautiful.
:10:54
To me, it's just the place
where I was born...
:10:59
and have lived in all my life.
