That's why
I wanted your advice...

1:06:17
as an old friend
of Miss Osmond's family.

1:06:20
What have you got besides your
Spanish lace and Dresden teacups?

1:06:24
My collection's well thought of and
I've a comfortable little fortune,

1:06:29
about 40,000 francs a year.
1:06:32
Miss Osmond and I
can live beautifully on that.

1:06:36
Beautifully? No. Sufficiently, yes.
1:06:41
Her father can give you nothing.
1:06:45
He, uh, he lives like a rich man.
1:06:47
The money's his wife's.
1:06:49
She brought him a large fortune.
1:06:51
Mrs Osmond is fond of her
stepdaughter, she may do something.

1:06:56
For a lovesick man,
you have your wits about you.

1:07:02
No, she will probably prefer to keep
her money for her own children.

1:07:07
Her own children?
Surely she has none.

1:07:11
She may have yet.
1:07:13
She had a poor little boy
who died almost two years ago.

1:07:18
I'm... very sorry.
1:07:21
Uh, she's a splendid woman.
1:07:30
I don't say your offer's
to be jumped at,

1:07:33
but there might be a worse one.
1:07:37
Mr Osmond, however,
will believe he can do better.

1:07:43
He can do better, perhaps,
1:07:45
but his daughter can do no better
than marry the man she loves.

1:07:50
Well, she does, you know.
1:07:51
And, in the meanwhile,
I'll say a word to Mrs Osmond.

1:07:55
No. No, don't set her going,
or you'll spoil everything.

1:07:59
Her husband's
sure to have other views.
