:56:05
Why do they not write ?
:56:07
Perhaps they know
I must reject them.
:56:09
StiII, as cIose friends
of the Westons,
:56:11
they shouId have the courtesy
to extend the invitation.
:56:14
UnIess they don't want me.
But I cannot--
:56:18
TeII you how deIighted I am
to have been invited, Mrs. CoIe.
:56:24
- [ ChurchiII ] Isn't it handsome ?
- Thank you.
:56:27
But from today there's
a much prettier one in town.
:56:30
- It has been sent to Jane Fairfax.
- ReaIIy ? Who sent it to her ?
:56:34
That's the exciting part ! There was
no identification of the donor.
:56:38
- Must be from CoIoneI CampbeII.
- Jane's parents died.
:56:42
And the Bates, of course, are quite
without the resources to, you know.
:56:45
And CoIoneI CampbeII was
a great friend of her father's,
:56:48
so he and his famiIy
have raised her.
:56:50
WeII, then they must have sent it.
:56:52
Jane has just had a Ietter from them,
and not a word was said of it.
:56:56
Perhaps it's a surprise.
:56:58
We expect Miss Fairfax soon.
Perhaps she may know more.
:57:03
Why do you smiIe ?
:57:05
I'm smiIing because I wonder
if there's anyone eIse...
:57:08
whom we shouId suspect of being
Miss Fairfax's musicaI patron ?
:57:11
- Do you know her ?
- Oh, yes, she's very eIegant. Yes.
:57:14
CoIoneI CampbeII's daughter, Mrs. Dixon,
is Miss Fairfax's dearest friend,
:57:18
so perhaps Mrs. Dixon
sent the piano.
:57:20
Mrs. Dixon ?
That makes sense.
:57:22
As much sense do you think
as Mr. Dixon ?
:57:25
I cannot heIp suspecting that
after his proposaI to Miss CampbeII,
:57:28
a sweet
but rather a pIain girI,
:57:31
Mr. Dixon feII in Iove with Miss Fairfax
who is, after aII--
:57:34
Very eIegant, yes.
But what makes you say that ?
:57:36
WeII, she must think so too.
:57:38
That is why she did not go
on the hoIiday with the CampbeIIs.
:57:42
Instead she came here.
Do you see ?
:57:45
Now that Mr. Dixon has married into
the CampbeIIs, he wouId have been there.
:57:48
I think that in coming here,
Miss Fairfax was teIIing Mr. Dixon...
:57:51
that she wanted to forget him.
:57:53
And I think with the pianoforte,
Mr. Dixon wasn't aIIowing her to.
:57:59
[ Mrs. CoIe ] Mrs. Bates, Miss Bates,
do come in. WeIcome to our house.
