You wish immensely
I would commit some folly.

1:51:09
If you leave Rome today, it will be
an act of the most deliberate,

1:51:14
the most calculated opposition.
1:51:17
I can't tell you
how unjust you seem to me.

1:51:22
It's your own opposition
that's calculated.

1:51:27
It's malignant.

I have an ideal of what my wife
should do and should not do.

1:51:44
She should not travel across Europe
to sit at the bedside of other men.

1:51:49
Your cousin is nothing to you.
He's nothing to us.

1:51:54
You smile most expressively
when I talk about us,

1:51:58
but I assure you that we...
1:52:01
we, Mrs Osmond...
1:52:06

than any other human creature,

1:52:16
and I am nearer to you.
1:52:18
It may be a disagreeable proximity,
1:52:20
but it is one of our own
deliberate making.

1:52:25
You don't like to be
reminded of that, I know...

1:52:30
but I am
perfectly willing, because...

1:52:34
because I believe we should accept
the consequences of our actions...

1:52:40
and what I value most in life
is the honour of the thing.
