Beaufort may not receive invitations,
but he maintains a certain position.
:44:08
Horizontal, I hear.
:44:09
If this continues,
we'll see our children...
:44:12
...socializing with swindlers
and marrying Beaufort's bastards.
:44:16
Has he got any?
:44:18
Careful there, gentlemen.
Draw it mild.
:44:21
Society has a history of tolerating
vulgar women, after all.
:44:26
Up to a point.
:44:30
Have you ever noticed it's
the people with the worst cooks...
:44:34
...who always yell about
being poisoned when they dine out.
:44:39
Lefferts used to be
a little more adept, I thought.
:44:43
But then, grace is not
always required...
:44:47
...as long as one knows the steps.
:44:57
I've never heard Lefferts so abound...
:45:00
...in the sentiments
that adorn Christian manhood.
:45:03
Indignation lends a scathing eloquence
almost as effective as fear.
:45:07
The pressure at home
must be unrelenting.
:45:10
I never expected to hear such
a paean to the sanctity of the home.
:45:18
The silent organization...
:45:19
...which held this
whole small world together...
:45:23
...was determined
to put itself on record.
:45:26
It had never
for a moment questioned...
:45:29
...the propriety
of Madame Olenska's conduct.
:45:32
It had never questioned
Archer's fidelity.
:45:37
And it had never heard of, suspected
or even conceived possible...
:45:42
...anything at all to the contrary.
:45:47
From the seamless performance
of this ritual...
:45:50
...Archer knew that New York believed
him to be Madame Olenska's lover.
:45:54
We were discussing the ball.
:45:57
We have it during Easter week,
to benefit the blind.
