...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

:58:35
No, to be sure.
:58:37
And she's still not.
:58:39
The count, you know...
:58:41
...wrote to Mr. Letterblair.
:58:45
He wants her back.
:58:46
On her own terms.
:58:49

:58:53
