:17:00
From her sitting room, there was
an unexpected vista of her bedroom.
:17:06
Her visitors were fascinated by
the foreignness of this arrangement...
:17:10
...which recalled scenes
in French fiction.
:17:14
This was how women with lovers
lived in the wicked old societies.
:17:19
But if she had wanted a lover...
:17:22
...the intrepid woman
would have had him too.
:17:25
For now, she was content simply...
:17:32
...and to anticipate eagerly
the union of Newland Archer...
:17:36
...with her granddaughter, May.
:17:38
In them, two of New York's
best families...
:17:41
...would finally
and momentously be joined.
:17:44
- Goodbye, Mama.
- Goodbye.
:17:47
Ellen.
:17:50
Beaufort, this is a rare favor.
:17:55
Unnecessarily rare, I'd say.
:17:58
I met Countess Ellen,
and she let me walk home with her.
:18:01
This house will be merrier
now that she's here.
:18:04
- Thank you.
- Beaufort, pull up that tuffet.
:18:07
I want a good gossip.
:18:09
You already know about May and me.
:18:11
She scolded me for not telling you.
:18:14
Of course I know, and I'm so glad.
:18:16
One doesn't tell such news
first in a crowd.
:18:20
Careful there.
:18:22
Don't catch your ring on your sleeve.
:18:24
Goodbye.
:18:28
Goodbye.
:18:31
Come and see me someday.
:18:36
It's a mistake for Ellen to parade up
5th Avenue with Julius...
:18:40
...at the crowded hour...
:18:42
...the very day after her arrival.
:18:45
He's so flagrant. Even his wife
must know about Annie Ring.
