- May I light a cigarette?
- You may do what you please,

:11:08
as long as you'll amuse me.
:11:16
What had you in mind
when you refused Warburton?

:11:21
I have his leave to let you know
he has told me.

:11:25
Did...?
:11:26
Did he ask you to talk to me?
:11:29

:12:39
- It's that I can't escape my fate.
- Your fate?

:12:45
It's not my fate to give up.
:12:48
You call marrying Lord Warburton
giving up?

:12:50
It's getting a great deal,
but it's giving up other chances.

:12:54

:12:57
I don't mean chances to marry.
