:20:00
Thirty years old.
You were born and raised in Boston...
:20:03
... and you went to Harvard,
where you edited the Lampoon.
:20:06
When you graduated, you went to Paris
and you studied painting for a while.
:20:09
You have a lodge in Maine
called Back of the Moon.
:20:12
Before you went in for writing novels,
you were a newspaper man.
:20:16
Your favorite sport is fishing, and you
speak French and Spanish quite well.
:20:19
Shades of Sherlock.
:20:21
You got all that
just from reading my book?
:20:24
Just from reading the dust jacket.
It was all there under your picture.
:20:27
You know, if you'd lived in Salem
100 years ago, they'd have burned you.
:20:31
Why did you give up painting?
:20:33
Well, it was like this.
:20:35
In the first place,
I discovered I was colorblind.
:20:37
Since I was interested
in Post-Impressionism...
:20:39
...that didn't matter, did it?
- No.
:20:41
When I made the acquaintance
of the boys on the Left Bank...
:20:44
...I found that they lived
in squalid garrets...
:20:46
...and most of them
were miserably undernourished.
:20:49
Have you ever known
what it was to be really hungry?
:20:52
I'm hungry right now.
:20:53
You must be.
You haven't had dinner, have you?
:20:55
- Nor lunch.
- You poor thing, you must be famished.
:20:58
Mrs. Robie told Emily
to leave you a tray.
:21:01
Good.
:21:05
Oh, there it is.
:21:07
I'll get it.
:21:13
Let me.
:21:17
Tell me about your place in Maine.
:21:19
Oh, it's just a cabin,
a shack, that's all.
:21:22
But it's set down in just about the most
beautiful country I've ever seen.
:21:26
Why do you call it Back of the Moon?
:21:28
Well, there's a lake up there,
shaped like a crescent.
:21:30
Danny and I used to spend
all our summers there.
:21:33
- You love Danny a lot, don't you?
- Well, naturally.
:21:36
Is that why you've never married,
because you've had to take care of him?
:21:40
No, not exactly.
:21:42
The way I feel about marriage...
:21:45
Well, it's like... Thank you.
:21:46
It's like that trip I made to Europe
after I graduated.
:21:49
I hadn't the least idea of going abroad.
It just happened.
:21:53
I was taking a walk with a girl.
:21:54
We went down to Boston Wharf
and watched a freighter being loaded.
:21:58
I liked the looks of her.
:21:59
- The girl?
- No, the freighter.
