But... But, Miss Catherine,
I meant what I said.
1:31:05
It was the coolest dress
I could find.
1:31:08
Yes, miss.
1:31:13
(door clicks)
1:31:20
- Aunt Penniman, you're home early.
- Yes, dear. Yes.
1:31:22
Did you see your friends
from Poughkeepsie?
1:31:25
No, dear, I did not. Now, this will
come to you as a great surprise.
1:31:29
Good, I like surprises.
1:31:33
Well, then...
1:31:36
I have seen Morris Townsend.
1:31:41
We met quite by accident.
1:31:42
He has only been home a week. Oh!
1:31:45
Catherine, he is so handsome.
1:31:48
And he asked so many questions
about you, dear.
1:31:51
He had heard that you hadn't married.
He seemed very interested in that.
1:31:56
He fears that you never understood
him, never judged him rightly.
1:32:01
How can you say that to me?
1:32:03
You were in this room
the night he deserted me.
1:32:06
If you will hear him out,
1:32:07
and if you would try to understand
his side of it, Catherine.
1:32:10
He meant it nobly. Really, he did.
1:32:12
I can hear
that you have been with him.
1:32:14
He has beguiled you again.
You talk like a fool.
1:32:17
I don't care what you think of me.
1:32:18
I am convinced you will be happier
after you've seen him.
1:32:22
Save your breath, Aunt Penniman.
I will not see him.
1:32:25
(bell chimes)
1:32:30
Aunt Penniman, have you dared?
1:32:33
He walked home with me.
He implored me to ask you.
1:32:37
Oh, I only want your happiness,
Catherine.
1:32:40
Go to the door, Aunt, and tell
Mr Townsend that I am not at home.
1:32:44
- Please, Catherine.
- I am not at home.
