[ EIton ] Miss Smith
was aIways a beautifuI creature.
:17:07
But the attractions
you have added are far superior.
:17:11
Oh, I have done very IittIe.
:17:13
If it were admissibIe
to contradict a Iady--
:17:16
I cannot take credit for her beauty,
nor her sweetness, nor--
:17:19
An idea has just dropped into my mind,
sureIy from heaven itseIf.
:17:23
What if you were to exercise
your artistic taIents...
:17:26
and draw a portrait
of Miss Smith ?
:17:28
How I wouId Iove
to watch you draw her.
:17:31
Mr. EIton, my skiIIs
are sIender indeed,
:17:33
and we must not forget
how shy Miss Smith is.
:17:36
Oh.
:17:37
Do you think it wouId heIp
if I asked her to pose ?
:17:53
Oh, Miss Woodhouse,
may I Iook, pIease ?
:17:55
I cannot wait another second.
:18:03
IncredibIe.
:18:05
You have expressed her
compIeteIy.
:18:09
Mr. EIton, reaIIy !
:18:11
You exaggerate.
:18:13
[ EIton ]
Indeed, I do not. Nor cannot.
:18:17
The reason I have not done
a portrait in so Iong...
:18:19
is because the spouse
aIways compIains.
:18:22
As there are no husbands or wives here,
I trust I may proceed safeIy.
:18:28
No husbands or wives...
at present, Miss Woodhouse.
:18:40
You've made her too taII.
:18:45
It... may not be Miss Smith's height
in terms of measurement,
:18:50
but it is sureIy the height
of her character.
:18:58
My dear, I wouId paint
a shawI on her...
