and more or less crawl.
:29:02
I shall never crawl.
:29:03
Yes. On the whole,
I don't see you crawling.

:29:08
But the men, the Americans?
:29:11
Look at poor Ralph Touchett.
:29:13
What sort of figure do you call that?
:29:16
Fortunately, he has consumption.
:29:19
I say fortunately because
it gives him something to do.

:29:23
His consumption's his... carrière.
:29:25
It's a kind of position.
:29:28
If he were not ill,
he'd do something.

:29:30
He'd take his father's
place in the bank.

:29:33
I doubt it.
He's not at all fond of the bank.

:29:37
- Are you not good friends?
- Perfectly!

:29:40
But he doesn't like me.
:29:43
What have you done to him?
:29:44
Nothing whatever,
:29:46
but one has no need
of a reason for that.

:29:49
For not liking you? I think one
has need of a very good reason.

:29:53
Ah. I love the English rain.
:29:56
There's always a little of it
and never too much at once.

:30:00
And it always... smells good.
:30:03
Ah, delicious!
:30:06
Mmm, delicious!
:30:10
Mmm, it is!
:30:28
I'd give a good deal
to be your age again,

:30:31
to have my life before me.
:30:34
Your life's before you yet.
:30:37
No. The best part's gone,
and gone for nothing.

:30:41
Oh, surely not for nothing.
:30:43
Why not? What have I got?
:30:46
Neither husband
nor child nor fortune.

:30:52
Nor even a house of my own.
:30:55
What should you like to
do that you've not done?
