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,

:45:01
living here amongst people and things
not our own.

:45:07
My sister's rather unhappy,
and as she's not of a serious turn,

:45:13
she doesn't tend to show it
tragically, but comically instead.

:45:20
Shall I take that painting down?
You'll want more light.

:45:35
This is one of the first paintings
I bought when I came to Italy.

:45:41
I've seen the girl but this once,
I like her very much.

:45:44
So do I.
:45:45
You have a strange way of showing it.
:45:48
Do not agitate yourself.
:45:49
The matter concerns three persons
stronger in purpose than yourself.

:45:53
Three persons?
You and Osmond, of course.

:45:57
But is Miss Archer also very strong?
