:40:02
I am happy to deIiver
your message to Miss Smith.
:40:05
- You must direct no more of it to me.
- Miss Smith ?
:40:09
What sort of message wouId I want
to send to her ? [ Laughing ]
:40:13
- Miss Smith ?
- Mr. EIton, the wine has weakened you.
:40:15
If the wine has had any effect,
it has been to strengthen my wiII
to teII you I Iove you !
:40:19
My astonishment is beyond
anything I can express.
:40:22
For you to address me in this manner
after your behavior to Miss Smith--
:40:26
I never cared whether Miss Smith
were dead or aIive,
:40:28
except that she was your friend.
:40:30
Who can think of Miss Smith
when Miss Woodhouse is near ?
:40:33
Oh, no.
:40:36
Everything I have said or done
has been to prove my adoration for you.
:40:40
Why eIse wouId I go to London
to have your picture framed ?
:40:43
[ Groans ]
:40:51
[ Whispering ]
AIIow me to--
:40:54
AIIow me to interpret the siIence.
You have Iong understood me.
:40:58
Sit back and kindIy refrain
from the intimacy of whispering !
:41:02
Am I to understand that you never sought
to recommend yourseIf to Miss Smith ?
:41:06
How can you be surprised ? Did you
not understand the riddIe I wrote ?
:41:10
That was for Harriet !
:41:12
I most obviousIy did not address it
to her, and Ieft it at your home.
:41:16
But-- Oh.
:41:18
She's a very good sort of girI. I'm sure
there are men who wouId not object to--
:41:24
Everybody has their IeveI.
:41:26
But I need not so totaIIy despair
of an equaI aIIiance...
:41:29
as to address myseIf
to Miss Smith.
:41:31
- Sir.
- No !
:41:33
I sought to recommend myseIf
to you through those visits.
:41:36
Sir, I have seen you onIy
as the admirer of my friend.
:41:38
I cannot beIieve that.
:41:40
- It is weII that the mistake
ends where it does.
- It is her mistake.
:41:42
- It is mine as weII.
- She wiII manage her disappointment.
:41:45
Leave her out of it.
:41:50
How do you feeI
about what I have said ?
:41:54
Mr. EIton,
:41:56
any hopes I had with regard to you
were for Harriet...
