:40:02
(Rutland) Strong, please.
No milk, two lumps of sugar.
:40:06
The meals in this house
are shocking bad,
:40:08
but I do insist on good
Horn and Hardart cake at tea.
:40:11
You take yours with lemon,
don't you, Lil?
:40:14
Yes, lemon for Lil, Mary.
:40:18
Strong with a dash of rum for me.
:40:20
(Rutland) Spinster's tea.
Mucking up tea with strong drink.
:40:24
- Something sneaky about it, eh?
- What's your opinion, Miss Taylor?
:40:27
Do you think old Mark here
is a sneaky one?
:40:31
Possibly.
:40:34
How do you take your tea, Miss Taylor?
:40:37
Usually with a cup
of hot water and a tea bag.
:40:39
(Rutland) Lazy habit, my dear.
:40:41
I'll have quite a large slice
of that butter cake, please.
:40:44
- Do you ride, Miss Taylor?
- A little.
:40:47
Best thing in the world
for the inside of a man or woman
:40:49
is the outside of a horse.
:40:51
I shouldn't think you'd find
old Mark very interesting.
:40:54
- Doesn't hunt. Doesn't even ride!
- Please, Dad!
:40:56
I was hoping to lead up
gently to all that.
:40:58
I'd even planned to show her
the horses first.
:41:01
Swill that down or bring it
with you to the stables.
:41:04
Mark's trying to act as if he brought
Miss Taylor out to see the horses.
:41:07
- He really brought her to see me.
- Really? Whatever for?
:41:10
Showing off. I'm quite
a presentable old party, you know.
:41:13
Lil, I 'm sure your sturdy young wrist
:41:15
has recovered sufficiently
to pour Dad another cup of tea.
:41:19
- I will have another cup.
- I can't!
:41:21
"When duty whispers low, thou must."
:41:23
"Then youth replies, I can."
:41:27
Ratfink! And you misquoted!
:41:57
Will you come up and spend
next weekend with us?
:41:59
You can bring your tea bag,
have your pick of the horses.
