:48:01
But don't try that with me,
because it won't work.
:48:03
I've never seen you like this before.
:48:05
- You're usually so quiet.
- Yes, quiet, patient, efficient Miss Howell.
:48:09
Tell her to do something and she does it,
day after day, year after year.
:48:12
At the age of 60, retires with a gold watch
and the blessings of the entire household.
:48:16
No, thank you. I've had enough
of being a servant.
:48:18
I've never thought of you as a servant.
I've never...
:48:21
- You've been very kind, but I'm leaving.
- Don't go, please.
:48:24
Something's upset you. I don't know
what it is, but I'm deeply concerned.
:48:28
You're right, I do try to get what I want
whenever possible.
:48:32
That may seem selfish, I suppose it is.
:48:35
But you've become very necessary here.
:48:37
You're a part of my home.
Very much a part of my life.
:48:42
I don't know how to express
this properly...
:48:46
but I've become very fond of you.
:48:48
Fond is an understatement.
:48:49
- Mr. Graham, don't...
- I hadn't meant to talk of this for a while...
:48:53
but now it seems necessary.
:48:55
I'm asking you to marry me.
:49:01
I hadn't intended to amuse you.
:49:05
It wasn't you. It was something else,
please believe me.
:49:09
I had to either laugh or cry.
:49:12
I'm through with crying,
don't you understand that?
:49:15
No, but it's all right.
:49:18
As for marrying you...
:49:20
it's very flattering.
:49:21
It feels wonderful to be wanted
by someone.
:49:23
I needed that feeling right now,
more than you'll ever know.
:49:27
Something happens to a
woman when she isn't wanted.
:49:30
- Something dreadful.
- All of which doesn't answer my question.
:49:33
Will you marry me?
:49:35
I'm aging visibly.
:49:38
I'm not in love with you.
:49:40
Do you think we could be happy?
:49:42
I'll do everything in my power
to see that you are.
:49:46
There's Carol to think of.
She doesn't like me.
:49:48
I haven't done this very gracefully
or even adequately.
:49:51
But, one thing is certain,
Carol isn't asking to marry you, I am.
:49:55
I've never had a great deal.
:49:58
It's very tempting to be offered
the kind of life I'd have as your wife.
