:46:00
Quite as much so as we.
:46:04
You're capable of anything,
you and Osmond.
:46:06
- You're dangerous.
- Better leave us alone, then.
:46:12
Madame Merle spoke of you having
some plan of going around the world?
:46:17
I'm rather ashamed of my plans.
:46:21
I make a new one every day.
:46:23
I don't think you should be ashamed.
It's the greatest of pleasures.
:46:27
I made a plan years ago
and I'm acting on it today.
:46:32
Must have been a very pleasant one.
:46:35
Mmm, it was. Very simple.
:46:38
It was to be as quiet as possible.
:46:43
As quiet?
:46:47
Not to worry,
not to strive nor struggle.
:46:50
To content myself with little.
:46:56
I've spent many years here
on that plan,
:46:58
and been not at all unhappy.
:47:07
It polishes me up a bit
to talk to you.
:47:12
But you'll be gone
before I see you three times.
:47:16
That's what it is to live
in a country that people come to.
:47:21
Have you had the opportunity
to wander in Florence at all?
:47:29
Serena, you know everything.
:47:33
Is that curious creature
making love to my niece?
:47:38
Gilbert Osmond?
:47:42
Heaven help us, that's an idea.
:47:45
It hadn't occurred to you? Hmm?
:47:47
He's called five times
in the course of a fortnight.
:47:53
You make me feel an idiot,
but I confess it hadn't.
:47:56
I wonder if it
has occurred to Isabel?
:47:59
I shall ask her.
