:30:01
- He's all yours now.
- Be careful, Douglas.
:30:05
The sun's well over the yardarm.
:30:10
- Does he miss home?
- Oh, sure.
:30:12
I mean, he'd like to be home
for Christmas...
:30:15
but, well, it just hasn't
worked out that way.
:30:19
What are you doing
for Christmas?
:30:21
Some lucky English hotel,
I expect.
:30:24
So your husband will have to look
after himself, is that it?
:30:26
Yes. He's pretty good at that.
:30:31
The lake is much older
than the house, of course.
:30:35
They say Shelley used to sail
paper boats here.
:30:39
Made out of early drafts
of his poems, no doubt.
:30:46
I don't like to think of you
Christmassing in a hotel.
:30:48
Why don't you come here?
:30:50
You're very welcome.
:30:52
You don't want a couple of yankees
rampaging all over your house.
:30:56
I'd speak to Warnie,
of course, but...
:30:59
Why don't we go inside.
:31:04
Speaking for myself,
I'd welcome the company.
:31:06
Somehow, Christmas makes more sense
when there are children around.
:31:11
I suppose
we ought to get a tree.
:31:13
What I really resent
is the presumption of good will.
:31:15
I feel no good will toward
my fellow man whatever.
:31:18
- I feel ill will.
- It'll be different this year...
:31:21
More cheerful, I've no doubt.
A festive season.
:31:25
I'm afraid Christmas, as I remember it,
is rather a lost cause.
:31:29
- It's because we've lost the magic.
- No more blasted magic.
:31:32
Well, you tell people it's about
taking care of the poor and needy...
:31:36
and naturally
they don't even miss it.
:31:38
The needy do come into it.
:31:41
"No room at the inn," remember?
The mother and child?
:31:44
Jack's invited them
to stay with us.
:31:46
Who?
:31:48
Mother and child.
:31:55
Mrs. Gresham and her son...
:31:58
They're spending Christmas
with us.
