You're looking very well.
:39:05
You never look so well
as when you've got an idea.

:39:10
They're always becoming to you.
:39:18
I wish very much
you were not so heartless.

:39:21
It's always been against you,
and it will be against you now.

:39:26
I'm not so heartless as you think.
:39:30
Every now and then
something... touches me.

:39:34
As for instance,
your ambitions for me.

:39:37
Why would you think Mrs Touchett's
niece should matter to me when...

:39:42
...I myself have mattered so little?
:39:44
That is not what I
meant to say, of course.

:39:48
When I have known and appreciated
such a woman as you.

:39:54
Isabel Archer is better than I.
:40:24
Have you seen my latest?
:40:26
Isn't that one
of last year's sketches?

:40:29
The one you did in Spain?
:40:31
I've made improvements since then.
:40:33
I don't care for your drawings.
:40:35
They're much better
than other peoples'.

:40:38
But as the only thing you do,
it's so little.

:40:43
I should have liked you to do so many
other things. I had my ambitions.

:40:47
- Things that were impossible.
- Things that were impossible.

:40:58
Your room, at least, is perfect.
