The façade is 16th century,
but the interior is much older.

:43:14
I must tell you that Osmond
doesn't often invite me.

:43:17
It was quite my own idea,
coming today.

:43:20
I like to see new people,
and I'm sure you're very new.

:43:24
Oh! But don't sit there.
:43:26
That chair's not what it looks.
:43:29
There are very good seats here, but
there are also some horrors. Pipi.

:43:35
I don't see any.
:43:37
Everything seems to me
beautiful and precious.

:43:40
Thank you.
I've a few good things.

:43:44
Indeed, I've nothing very bad.
:43:47
Poor Osmond with his old curtains
and crucifixes.

:43:50
Won't you have some tea?
You must be very tired.

:43:54
No, I'm not tired.
What have I done to tire me?

:43:58
You'll be tired when you go home
:44:00
if he shows you all his bibelots
:44:04
and gives you a lecture on each.
:44:06
Then I'll have learned something.
:44:08
Oh, well, for me,
one should like a thing or not,

:44:11
but one shouldn't try
to reason it out.

:44:14
Some very good feelings
:44:16
may have very bad reasons,
don't you know?

:44:18
It's a lovely day.
Shall we go for a walk?

:44:21
Oh! And then there are some very bad
feelings that have very good reasons.

:44:27
This hill of my brother's
is impossible.

:44:31
It's terrible
to hear one's horses wheeze.

:44:34
What do you think of my sister?
:44:41
Don't ask me that, l- I...
:44:44
I've seen your sister too little.
:44:46
Yes, it's true,
you've seen her very little,

:44:49
but I should like to know how she
strikes a fresh, unprejudiced mind.

:44:57
I sometimes think
we've gotten into a rather bad way,
