:55:02
These must be all right.
They're friends of Cecil's.
:55:05
- Cecil?
- So you can all call in perfect safety.
:55:10
- Cecil?!
- We met some Emersons in Florence.
:55:14
The oddest people, Mrs. Honeychurch,
but we rather liked them.
:55:20
Emerson's a common enough name.
:55:24
"So really desirable. I've telegraphed them."
:55:28
Don't be silly, Freddy. You always overdo it.
:55:32
A most remarkable father and son.
:55:34
Father's something of a radical.
The son, full of possibilities.
:55:40
Don't move.
Stay where you are. "Ginevra de Benci"!
:55:45
Did you know you were a Leonardo,
smiling at things beyond our ken?
:55:50
What's this about Sir Harry's new tenants?
:55:53
I have found him tenants for his Cissie Villa.
:55:56
I've won a great victory for the comic muse.
:56:00
After all the trouble I took over the Miss Alans.
:56:04
Of course I'd prefer friends of yours...
:56:06
Friends of mine? The joke is to come.
:56:09
They're strangers
I met in the National Gallery.
:56:13
They had been to Italy.
A father and son. The oddest couple.
:56:17
In the course of conversazione,
they said they wanted a country cottage.
:56:22
A simple burrow
where they could smell the earth.
:56:26
Of course, London has its own character,
:56:29
but we've a longing for green things growing,
don't we, George?
:56:34
The sweetness of the English countryside...
:56:37
of wet hedgerows
with birds singing inside them.
:56:41
I know we should make
our heaven and earth where we are.
:56:45
However, I fear I've faltered
and need some help from outside.
:56:50
Well, in short, sir, what I seek is a country
cottage where George can come at weekends.
:56:57
I happen to know of just the place.
Not exactly a cottage, more... a villa.
