Mr. Lewis, the American,
has arrived.
:34:31
He was expected tomorrow.
What have you done with him?
:34:34
Mr. Lewis has been shown upstairs.
:34:40
My godson, Cardinal, will shortly
become engaged to be married.
:34:44
Indeed, sir.
I offer my congratulations.
:34:46
Thank you, Stevens.
:34:49
I feel very responsible for the boy.
:34:52
He is my godson, and his father
was my closest friend, as you know.
:34:56
And now that he's gone, well...
:34:59
...I feel in place of a father to him.
:35:02
I've appointed him as my secretary
at the conference.
:35:05
He's been jolly thorough
in helping me to prepare.
:35:16
I realize this is a somewhat
irregular thing to ask you to do.
:35:21
I'd be glad to be of any assistance.
:35:23
I'm sorry to bring this up...
:35:25
...but I just can't see how on earth
to make it go away.
:35:30
You are familiar with
the facts of life?
:35:32
-My lord?
-The facts of life.
:35:35
Birds, bees.
You are familiar, aren't you?
:35:39
I'm afraid I don't quite follow you.
:35:41
Let me put my cards on the table.
:35:44
I'm so busy with this conference.
Of course, you are too...
:35:48
...but someone has to tell him.
:35:51
In a way, it would be easier for you.
:35:54
Less awkward.
:35:56
I'd find the task rather daunting,
I'm afraid.
:35:59
I might not get to it
before Reginald's wedding day.
