:57:02
How do you
expect him to feel?

:57:04
How do you think I feel?
:57:06
To believe that you belong
to one kind of a world, and then, suddenly-

:57:12
When I asked you if there was any reason
why I shouldn't marry Euan, you said no.

:57:16
I said there was
no good reason.

:57:19
How can you say that?
Euan's heir to a title.

:57:23
Can you picture a black man
sitting in the House of Lords if we had a son?

:57:27
There's no need to exaggerate.
:57:29
My mother was three-quarters white.
:57:31
I've only 1/16 of colored blood.
:57:33
The chances are your children
will be completely white!

:57:39
Bradshaw was right.
All this whispering, all this secrecy.

:57:47
How shall I face it here?
:57:50
Will you listen to me,
quietly, for a minute?

:57:53
At the start of any misfortune, one always
feels that the end of the world has come.

:57:58
Well, the end of mine has.
:58:01
Perhaps I ought to leave this island, take
Sylvia with me, make a fresh start somewhere.

:58:05
- Do you think that'd be best?
- Do I have any other choice?

:58:08
I can see myself
walking into the club.

:58:10
Anybody for tennis?
There's Fleury.

:58:13
He's perfect for mixed-doubles.
His grandmother's a bit on the dark side, you know.

:58:16
Your roots are here.
Your life is here.

:58:19
Oh, it's easy to talk about making a fresh start.
But what would you do?

:58:23
Where would you go?
:58:25
What do the Fleurys know
except how to run a plantation?

:58:30
Nothing.
:58:33
Think it over.
Talk to Sylvia.

:58:36
Think it over.
Talk to Sylvia.

:58:38
Now, above all,
we must keep our heads.

:58:41
The great thing is
to do nothing hasty.

:58:44
Behave as though nothing
extraordinary has happened.

:58:47
Otherwise people will say,
"Oh, look at the Fleurys.

:58:50
They daren't
hold their heads up in public."

:58:53
Go to the club tonight.
Behave naturally.

:58:56
Don't avoid people, and, uh,
don't send them too many drinks.
