Perhaps, dear Mrs. Hall,
when Clive has finally completed...
:40:12
and, pray heaven,
passed his bar examinations...
:40:15
would Ada not like to come down
and stay with us here at Pendersleigh?
:40:19
I do declare that our sons find amusement...
:40:22
in the friendship of our two families.
:40:24
- But Ada is such an attractive
and good-natured girl.
:40:28
Although at present Clive appears to regard
his Fridays to Mondays entirely sacrosanct...
:40:32
I'm sure that he, too,
could be enticed down.
:40:37
I'm writing to Mrs. Hall.
:40:40
- I thought Ada might like to stay.
- Ada?
:40:42
Isn't that the girl whose grandfather
is going to leave her a lot of money?
:40:46
She'll make an excellent bride for my godson.
:40:49
Really. Perhaps Clive doesn't want to marry yet.
:40:55
Oh, would you be so good as to post this, uh -
What's your name?
:41:00
Scudder, ma'am.
:41:11
We are already snug
in our little house, Mrs. Durham...
:41:14
now that Maurice is living at home
after so long away.
:41:17
Each day, he eats a vast breakfast
and then catches the 8:36.
:41:22
He returns at 4:59
and lays down the law.
:41:27
He has developed,
under your son's influence...
:41:30
into far more of a personage
than we had expected.
:41:33
One hardly begrudges him the time
he spends as Clive's guest in London.
:41:37
Is Clive not fortunate...
:41:40
to have a London house now
as well as beautiful Pendersleigh Park?
:41:44
I do confess that I am looking forward
to meeting their amusing London set...
:41:49
pictures of some of whom we see
in the illustrated newspapers...
:41:52
here at dull Alfriston Gardens.
:41:55
But I concentrated
on the tips ofhis mustache.
:41:58
Do you think I might have one of your cigarettes?
