:25:01
...in a kind of
super terrestrial twilight.
:25:05
Archer appealed to their exquisitely
refined sense of tribal order.
:25:09
And he spoke plainly.
:25:11
Whenever poor Gertrude Lefferts begins
to suspect her husband of something...
:25:16
...Larry makes some great diversionary
fuss to show how moral he is.
:25:21
It's the principle that I dislike.
:25:25
I mean, if a member of a well-known
family is backed by that family...
:25:30
...it should be considered final.
:25:32
We felt this slight on the countess
shouldn't pass without consulting you.
:25:38
We're giving a dinner for our cousin,
the Duke of St. Austrey...
:25:42
...who arrives next week
on the Russia.
:25:45
I'm sure Louisa will be
as glad as I am...
:25:48
...if Countess Olenska will let us
include her among our guests.
:25:58
The occasion was a solemn one.
:26:00
But the countess arrived
rather late...
:26:03
...signaling a carelessness
of which she was entirely unaware.
:26:08
She entered, without haste
or embarrassment...
:26:11
...the drawing room in which
New York's most chosen company...
:26:14
...was somewhat awfully assembled.
:26:18
Countess Olenska.
:26:22
Good evening.
:26:24
We're delighted you're here.
:26:26
The Duke of St. Austrey.
May I present Countess Olenska.
:26:29
The Trevenna George ll plate was out.
:26:32
So was the van der Luyden Lowestoft
from the East India Company...
:26:36
...and the Dagonet Crown Derby.
:26:39
Dining with the van der Luydens
was, at best, no light matter.
:26:43
Dining there with a duke
who was their cousin...
:26:46
...was almost a religious solemnity.
:26:50
When the van der Luyden's chose,
they knew how to give a lesson.
