-Hello, William, how are you?
-Good day, Miss Kenton.

:13:54
I thought these might
brighten your parlour.

:13:57
Beg your pardon?
:13:59
They might cheer things up for you.
:14:01
That's very kind of you.
:14:06
If you like, I could bring in
some more for you.

:14:09
Thank you...
:14:11
...but I regard this room
as my private place of work...

:14:14
...and I prefer to keep distractions
to a minimum.

:14:17
Would you call flowers
a distraction, then?

:14:20
I appreciate your kindness.
I prefer to keep things as they are.

:14:24
But since you are here, there is a
small matter I wanted to mention.

:14:28
I happened to be walking past
the kitchen yesterday morning...

:14:32
...and I heard you call
to someone named William.

:14:35
May I ask who you were
addressing by that name?

:14:39
I should think I was
addressing your father.

:14:43
There are no other Williams
in this house.

:14:45
True.
:14:47
May I ask you in future to address
my father as Mr. Stevens?

:14:51
If speaking of him
to a third party, you may call him...

:14:55
...Mr. Stevens Sr.
to distinguish him from myself.

:14:57
So I would be most grateful to you,
Miss Kenton.
