: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...
:22:02
which may produce a Ietter
of his own.
:22:07
Oh !
:22:13
[ KnightIey ]
Very weII, I admit it.
:22:15
You have improved
Harriet Smith.
:22:19
I hope you're not
the onIy man to have noticed.
:22:22
I'm not.
:22:24
I beIieve your friend
wiII soon hear something serious.
:22:28
Something to her advantage.
:22:30
Who makes you his confidant ?
:22:32
I have reason to beIieve
that Harriet Smith wiII soon receive...
:22:34
an offer of marriage from a man
desperateIy in Iove with her.
:22:38
Robert Martin.
:22:42
He came here two evenings ago
to consuIt about it.
:22:45
He's a tenant, you know,
and a good friend.
:22:47
He asked whether it wouId be
imprudent of him to settIe so earIy.
:22:51
Whether she was too young
or whether he was beneath her.
:22:54
Better questions for Mr. Martin
I couId not have chosen myseIf.
:22:59
I never hear better sense from anyone
than from Robert Martin.
