If I'd made a mistake, would I be
asking to hurry our marriage?

:56:04
I don't know. You might.
:56:07
It'd be one way to settle
the question.

:56:13
In Newport, two years ago...
:56:16
...before we were promised...
:56:19
...everyone said there
was someone else for you.

:56:21
I saw you with her, sitting together
on a veranda at a dance.

:56:26
When she came into the house,
her face looked so sad...

:56:29
...I felt sorry for her.
Even after, when we were engaged...

:56:33
...I could still see how she looked--
:56:36
Is that all you've been
concerned about?

:56:41
It's long past.
:56:46
Then is there something else?
:56:48
No.
:56:50
Of course not.
:56:53
Whatever it may have been...
:56:55
...I can't have my happiness made out
of a wrong to someone else.

:56:59
If promises were made, or if
you feel pledged to this person...

:57:03
...even if it means her divorce,
don't give her up because of me.

:57:07
There are no pledges.
:57:09
There are no promises that matter.
:57:13
That's all I've been trying to say.
There is no one between us, May.

:57:21
Which is precisely my argument
for getting married...

:57:25
...quickly.
:57:33
He could feel her dropping back
to inexpressive girlishness.

:57:38
Her conscience had been
eased of its burden.

:57:41
"It was wonderful, " he thought...
:57:43
... "how such depths
of feeling could coexist...

:57:46
...with such an absence
of imagination. "

:57:52
- And did you succeed?
- No.

:57:55
I'd still like to be married
in April, with your help.

:57:58
- Now you're seeing the Mingott way.
- Is this really so difficult?
