The future of the canal depends...
:11:07
.. of course, on the attitude
of Her Majesty's government.
:11:11
And...
:11:13
.. I will personally
be presenting my report...
:11:16
.. to the House of Commons
on Thursday night.
:11:20
I can tell you now...
:11:22
.. I will be condemning the scheme
in no uncertain terms.
:11:25
You must not. In your own interests, to
say nothing of mine, you must not do that.
:11:30
My dear Mrs Cheveley,...
:11:32
-.. what do you mean?
- I will be frank.
:11:34
Amend that report to state the canal
will be of great international value.
:11:39
Will you do that for me?
:11:45
- You cannot be serious.
- I am quite serious.
:11:48
If you do what I ask,
I will pay you very handsomely.
:11:51
Pay me?
:11:53
You are a man of the world
and you have your price.
:11:56
Everybody has nowadays.
:11:58
If you will allow me,
I will call your carriage for you.
:12:02
You have lived so long abroad...
:12:04
.. that you seem to be unable to realise
you are talking to an English gentleman!
:12:08
I realise I am talking to a man
whose past is less perfect...
:12:11
.. than his reputation would suggest.
:12:16
What are you saying?
:12:18
I am saying that I know the real origin
of your wealth and your career...
:12:22
.. and I have got your letter, too.
:12:27
You are very late!
:12:28
- Did you miss me?
- Awfully.
:12:30
I'm sorry I did not stay away later.
I like being missed.
:12:34
- How very selfish.
- I am selfish.
:12:36
You always tell me
about your bad qualities.
:12:38
- I haven't told you half of them.
- Really? Are the others very bad?
:12:42
Quite dreadful. When I think of them
at night, I can go to sleep at once.
:12:47
Well, I must tell you
that I like your bad qualities...
:12:50
.. and I would not have you
part with a single one.
:12:53
It shows admirable good taste.
:12:55
May I have the pleasure
of escorting you to the music room?
:12:59
- Why, Tommy, I'd be delighted.
- As would I.
