- Was he here this evening, Aunt?
- Yes, yes.

1:03:03
- He's made my house his club.
- You should be in bed.

1:03:07
Now, I'll just see that everything
has been attended to.

1:03:14
What a ridiculous position to be in.
1:03:18
Well, I suppose you'll be going off
with him any time now.

1:03:22
Yes, if he will have me.
1:03:25
Why not? You'll be
a most entertaining companion.

1:03:28
- I will try to be.
- Your gaiety and brilliance

1:03:31
will make up the difference between
the 10,000 a year you will have

1:03:35
and the 30,000 he expects.
1:03:37
He expects nothing.
He does not love me for that.

1:03:40
No? What else, then?
1:03:42
Your grace, your charm,
your quick tongue and subtle wit?

1:03:46
He admires me.
1:03:48
I've tried for months
not to be unkind.

1:03:50
But now it's time
for you to realise the truth.

1:03:52
How many girls do you think he might
have had in this town?

1:03:56
- He finds me pleasing.
- Oh, yes, I'm sure he does.

1:03:59
A hundred women are prettier,
a thousand more clever.

1:04:03
But you have one virtue
that outshines them all.

1:04:07
- What? What is that?
- Your money!

1:04:09
- (gasps) Father!
- You have nothing else!

1:04:14
Oh.
1:04:16
What a terrible thing to say to me.
1:04:19
I don't expect you to believe that.
I've known you all your life

1:04:23
and I've yet to see you
learn anything.

1:04:27
With one exception, my dear.
You embroider neatly.

1:04:56
(quietly) Morris.
1:04:58
Morris!
