2:28:01
Yes, Reverend. Please sit down.
2:28:08
I have some matters I would like
to discuss later, Graham...
2:28:11
...but just now would you go
to Her Ladyship...
2:28:13
...and have her sign these papers.
2:28:15
Yes, madam.
2:28:29
Reverend Runt...
2:28:31
...I need not tell you
that the recent tragedy to this family...
2:28:35
...has made the services of a tutor
no longer required here.
2:28:40
And as we are in considerable difficulty
about money...
2:28:44
...I'm afraid I must ask you,
with the greatest reluctance...
2:28:48
...to resign your post.
2:28:56
Madam, I'm sensible
to your predicament...
2:29:00
...and you need have no concern about
my wages, I can willingly forego them...
2:29:05
...but it is out of the question for me
to leave Her Ladyship in her present state.
2:29:13
I'm sorry to say this to you...
2:29:16
...but I believe you are largely responsible
for her present state of mind.
2:29:22
The sooner you leave,
the better she will be.
2:29:30
Madam, with the greatest respect...
2:29:33
...I take my instructions
only from Her Ladyship.
2:29:38
Reverend Runt...
2:29:40
...Her Ladyship is in no fit mind
to give instructions to anyone.
2:29:45
My son has charged me with managing
the affairs at Castle Hackton...
2:29:49
...until he recovers from his grief and
resumes his interest in worldly matters.
2:29:54
While I'm in charge...
2:29:55
...you'll take your instructions from me.
2:29:59
My only concern is for Lady Lyndon.
