:20:03
Is it a good Ietter
or too... short ?
:20:07
It is a good Ietter !
:20:10
One of his sisters
must have heIped him.
:20:12
Yet, it is not in the styIe
of a woman.
:20:15
WeII, it is a good Ietter,
and you must answer it immediateIy.
:20:19
He must have his disappointment
and move on.
:20:23
WeII, you think
I shouId refuse him ?
:20:26
You did not pIan to return an answer
favorabIe to this cIaim ?
:20:30
No, I did not.
:20:32
That is, I did not mean--
:20:35
Um, weII... I was not sure.
That is why I came to you.
:20:39
- It's not my pIace to intrude !
- I depend so on what you think.
:20:42
I wouId not advise you
for the worId !
:20:48
If you prefer Mr. Martin to every
other person you know, or may ever know,
:20:52
if you think him the most agreeabIe man
you have ever been...
:20:55
or ever wiII be in company with,
then why shouId you hesitate ?
:21:02
But if you'II not infIuence me,
I must do as weII as I can by myseIf.
:21:07
So--
:21:11
WeII, I am determined to.
:21:14
And I have reaIIy aImost
made up my mind to...
:21:20
refuse Mr. Martin ?
:21:23
Oh, do you think that's right
or wrong ? Is it wrong ?
:21:26
Now that you have decided, I wiII share
the feeIings I kept you in suspense of.
:21:30
I think you are perfectIy right.
:21:32
Yes. But--
:21:35
Oh, dear, it wiII make
his mother and sisters most unhappy.
:21:38
Let us think of
other mothers and sisters...
:21:40
who may be more cheerfuIIy
empIoyed at this moment.
:21:43
I beIieve Mr. EIton is showing your
picture to his mother and sisters...
:21:47
teIIing them how the subject
is more beautifuI than the portrait.
:21:51
If he shows it, I am sure
it is onIy to praise your artistry.
:21:55
If you are sure,
then you are sureIy wrong.
:21:59
By showing it to them,
he is reveaIing his deeper intentions...
