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.
:57:04
Dear sir, I implore you...
:57:06
If you'd give me your card...
:57:08
I fear we have no card,
but George will write down the address.
:57:13
Sir Harry Otway. It is in Surrey,
a place called Summer Street.
:57:19
Summer Street! I've dreamed of Summer Street.
:57:23
It will teach that snob Sir Harry a lesson.
:57:26
The classes should mix, there should be
intermarriage. I believe in democracy.
:57:32
No, you don't!
You don't know what the word means.
:57:36
It isn't fair! I've probably met them before.
:57:39
Perfectly fair if it punishes a snob.
:57:41
I blame you. You had no business
to undo my work about the Miss Alans.
:57:47
You've scored off Sir Harry, but at my expense.
:57:51
It was most disloyal of you.
:57:57
Temper, Lucy, temper. Please!
