and you're very beautiful, you know.
:06:04
Oh, yes, of course. I'm lovely.
:06:10
I...
:06:13
I know it seems tasteless
and ungrateful...

:06:20
but I can't marry him.
:06:23
You didn't find his proposal
sufficiently attractive?

:06:27
It was attractive.
:06:29
There was a moment when I would have
given my little finger to say yes,

:06:35
but...
:06:37
I think I have to begin by getting
a general impression of life.

:06:41
Do you see?
:06:45
And there's a light that has to dawn.
:06:50
I can't explain it, but...
:06:53
I know it's there.
:06:58
I'm not afraid, you know.
:07:01
He's a very fine man.
:07:03
He earns 100,000 a year...
:07:06
about half a dozen houses
to live in...

:07:09
and a seat in Parliament
as I have one at my own dinner table.

:07:13
Well...
:07:15
I hope very much
I have no more offers.

:07:18
They upset me completely.
:07:22
Isabel, your uncle is quite right.
:07:25
You certainly cannot go to London
without a proper escort.

:07:28
Well, my friend Henrietta
will be with me.

:07:31
Your friend sounds rather bohemian,
:07:34
and no doubt she will want to stay
at a boarding house.

:07:36
Ralph has put you down at his club.
:07:40
With Ralph, you can go anywhere.
:07:42
Isn't anything proper here?
:07:44
You're too fond
of your own ways, miss.

:07:47
Yes, I'm very fond of them.
:07:50
Isabel, I do not expect you
to always heed my advice.

:07:54
But as you have
neither mother nor father,

:07:57
I do expect you to listen to it.
