Mrs. Miniver

1:24:00

Lady Beldon.

1:24:02

If I hadn't known you'd taken that pilot
single-handed, I'd say you were scared.

1:24:06

I am scared, just as I was when
I took that German pilot single-handed.

1:24:10

- Know why she's come in such haste?
- To object to the marriage, I suppose.

1:24:15

It's really insufferable snobbery.

1:24:17

A boy like Vin,
she ought to be proud and happy.

1:24:19

- And honored.
- I wish I had a better dress on.

1:24:22

Oh, well.

1:24:24

Clement Miniver, don't you dare smile.

1:24:43

Why, Lady Beldon, this is nice.

1:24:47

Won't you sit down here?

1:24:54

I think I can guess why you came.

1:24:56

- Vin's told you his news, hasn't he?
- Yes, Mrs. Miniver.

1:24:59

- I do hope you're as pleased as we are.
- I'm afraid not. Why, they're infants.

1:25:03

- Carol's 18 and that boy's not 20.
- Yes, they are young.

1:25:06

I think I should tell you frankly:
I hope to persuade Carol to wait.

1:25:10

- You think she may change her mind?
- Frankly, yes.

1:25:13

- Perhaps make a better match.
- There's always that possibility.

1:25:17

Of course,
it may be just maternal vanity...

1:25:19

...but I don't think Carol will find
anyone nicer than Vin.

1:25:23

- I don't believe she'll change her mind.
- It's a matter of opinion.

1:25:26

- Her age is a matter of fact.
- Isn't that Beldon tradition...

1:25:30

...to marry young?

1:25:31

- I don't know what you mean.
- My daughter Judy...

1:25:34

You've not met Judy. She had to write
a composition on the Crusades.

1:25:37

She brought a small book home
from the library...

1:25:40

...called A Friend
of King Richard the Lion-Hearted.

1:25:43

- It was a life of an ancestor of yours.
- Really, I fail to see...

1:25:47

It was a fascinating book.
I got quite interested in it myself.

1:25:50

It was full of stories
of the Beldon family.

1:25:53

I trust you satisfied yourself
we were worthy of the alliance.

1:25:56

Well, there were one or two things
that rather surprised me.
