:17:00
...and trying to hit it
I hit the lamp.
:17:03
My feet both went from under me,
and I went flying.
:17:07
Good God, she's in
a blazing temper!
:17:09
She'll have me battered
for bat-burglary.
:17:13
Keep them.
:17:15
Keep your secrets.
:17:21
The marquis Ricardo.
My mind's a whirl!
:17:50
With that solicitude
which Love instils...
:17:53
...in every breast whose
yearning for requital...
:17:56
...makes light
of any obstacle...
:17:58
...I come to see you
and to urge my suit...
:18:00
...although my fond ambition
may seem misplaced...
:18:03
...to some more hopeful rival...
:18:05
...whose arrogance is greater
than his ardour.
:18:08
Your ladyship appears
today so handsome...
:18:11
...that seeing you
assures me you are well...
:18:14
...for woman's surest health
is in her beauty.
:18:19
For when she's gracious,
elegant and gay...
:18:21
...'tis foolish...
:18:23
...purest ignorance,
to ask if she be well...
:18:27
...and all it so condemns.
:18:30
Aware, then, that you are...
:18:32
...for so your beauty, Diana,
and brio must attest...
:18:36
...I venture rather,
strange though it may seem...
:18:39
...to ask you, how am I?
:18:43
Your lordship, to equate
what we call brio with beauty...
:18:46
...is a notion eloquent
of your wise judgement...
:18:49
...and perceptive mind.
:18:51
As for your state of health,
I daren't imagine.
:18:55
Yet one who knows
my honourable intentions...
:18:58
...should condescend so far.
