Dr Sloper, if it were not
for my feeling for Catherine,

:53:14
I should not have put up with
the indignities you've offered.

:53:17
You have only to leave my house to
escape them. Good day, Mr Townsend.

:53:21
- Good day.
- Morris, wait!

:53:23
Morris! You promised me, Morris.
:53:25
You promised you would be respectful
when you saw my father.

:53:28
- Catherine.
- What is the matter, Father?

:53:31
Catherine, you are without dignity.
:53:34
Why are you angry? Why are you and
Morris quarrelling? Tell me, please.

:53:38
- I will tell you when we are alone.
- Your father does not approve of me.

:53:44
- You want me to give him up?
- Yes, I do.

:53:48
Why? What has he done?
What did Mrs Montgomery tell you?

:53:53
My sister, have you spoken with her?
:53:55
She paid my a visit this morning
on my invitation.

:53:58
You see how painful this is for me,
Father.

:54:00
Surely you would want me
to know your reasons.

:54:03
- He's a selfish idler.
- My sister never said that.

:54:06
- No, I say it.
- Father, I know he loves me.

:54:10
I know that he does not.
:54:13
In heaven's name, Father,
what makes you so sure?

:54:17
My poor child, I can't tell you.
You must just take my word for it.

:54:22
Father, I can't.
:54:25
I can't.
:54:27
I love him.
:54:30
I have promised to marry him,
to stay by him no matter what comes.

:54:37
So, he forearmed himself
by getting a promise like that?

:54:42
- You are beneath contempt.
- Don't abuse him, Father.

:54:53
I think we shall marry quite soon.
:54:57
That is no further concern of mine.
