:17:04
He's very upset. You understand, of course?
:17:14
This is Dr. Dysart, dear.
:17:17
-Mr. Strang.
-How do you do?
:17:22
l was just telling Dr. Dysart, dear,
how Alan always adored horses.
:17:29
ln fact, we've always been
a very horsy family.
:17:33
Well, my side of it has.
:17:35
My uncle used to ride every morning
on the Downs behind Brighton.
:17:39
All dressed up in a bowler hat and jodhpurs.
He used to look splendid.
:17:42
''lndulging in equitation,'' he called it.
:17:46
l remember telling Alan
how that word came from ''equus.''
:17:50
-''Equus''?
-The Latin word for ''horse.''
:17:54
Alan was absolutely fascinated
by that word, l know.
:17:57
l suppose because he'd never come across
one with two U's together before.
:18:02
My dear, have you offered
the doctor a cup of tea?
:18:07
No, dear, l haven't.
:18:09
You must be dying for one. Excuse me.
:18:23
My wife has romantic ideas,
if you receive my meaning.
:18:28
-About her family?
-She thinks she married beneath her.
:18:32
l dare say, she did.
l don't understand these things myself.
:18:36
Would you say that she's
closer to the boy than you are?
:18:40
They've always been as thick as thieves.
l can't say l entirely approve...
:18:46
especially when l hear her
reading that Bible to him...
:18:49
night after night, up there in his room.
:18:52
-You mean, she's religious?
-Some might say excessively so.
:18:56
Mind you, that's her business, but...
