:21:01
- Careful, dear.
- Everybody knows.
:21:04
Indeed. Beaufort always put
his business around.
:21:08
Now that his business is gone,
there will be disclosures.
:21:11
- Gone? Is it really that bad?
- As bad as anything I ever heard of.
:21:16
Most everybody we know
will be hit one way or another.
:21:24
Very difficult for Regina, of course.
:21:27
And it's a pity that Countess Olenska
refused her husband's offer.
:21:33
Why, for God's sake?
:21:34
To put it on the lowest ground,
what will she live on now?
:21:38
Now that Beaufort--
:21:40
What the hell does that mean, sir?
:21:50
...and the allowance she gets
from the family is cut back--
:21:54
- I'm sure she has something.
- A little.
:21:56
Whatever remains,
after sustaining more debt.
:22:00
I know the family paid
close attention to Riviere...
:22:04
...and considered his offer carefully.
:22:06
If everyone rather she be Beaufort's
mistress than a wife...
:22:09
...you've gone about it perfectly.
:22:13
She won't go back.
:22:17
That's your opinion?
:22:21
Well, no doubt you know.
:22:25
She might soften Mrs. Mingott, who
could give her any kind of allowance.
:22:30
But the rest of the family
don't want to keep her here.
:22:34
They'll simply let her...
:22:36
...find her own level.
:22:51
Thank you.
:22:59
The lamp is smoking again.
The servant should fix it.
