1:08:03
- How can we?
- We must.

1:08:05
In another hour,
everyone will be asleep.

1:08:07
We can get away quietly
and no one will know.

1:08:09
But, Catherine,
it's only one more day.

1:08:12
- Morris, I beg you.
- Where would we go?

1:08:16
- To the Reverend Lisp...
- Lispenard.

1:08:18
Yes! He will not turn us away
because we've come one day early.

1:08:22
(hooves clatter)
1:08:25
- I implore you!
- Catherine.

1:08:27
If you love me...
1:08:30
- Very well, we'll do it.
- Oh!

1:08:36
I'll leave and find a carriage.
It's almost 10:30.

1:08:40
I can be back here at 12:30
on the dot in front of the house.

1:08:44
You must be ready and waiting for me.
Will you do that?

1:08:47
Oh, I can do anything, my dearest.
1:08:56
- Leave a letter for your father.
- A letter?

1:08:58
- Yes. Shall I compose it for you?
- No.

1:09:01
Think very carefully of how
to word it. You must melt his heart.

1:09:05
- I will not write him.
- Of course you must write him.

1:09:08
- We want him to forgive us.
- He won't forgive us. I know it.

1:09:11
I know it now. I have good reason to.
1:09:13
- What reason?
- My father doesn't like me.

1:09:17
What an unhappy thing to say.
Of course he does.

1:09:20
- No.
- He must love you very much

1:09:22
or he wouldn't try so hard
to protect you from me.

1:09:24
No, Morris, in this one thing
I know I am right.

1:09:27
I couldn't say it unless I was sure.
1:09:29
I understood it tonight
for the first time in my life.

1:09:33
You can tell when a person speaks
to you as if... as if...

1:09:36
- As if what?
- As if they despised you.

1:09:40
Despised?
1:09:42
We must be very happy together and
you must never despise me, Morris.

1:09:46
- Catherine.
- We must never ask him for anything

1:09:48
or depend upon him for anything.
1:09:50
We must be very happy
and expect nothing from him ever.

1:09:58
No.
