:18:02
Can I take it
you've changed your position?
:18:15
I wonder what kind of a woman she is.
:18:17
Who?
:18:19
That woman - Mrs Cheveley.
:18:22
Smallish.
:18:25
So the question remains,
where to from there, hm?
:18:29
To the Hartlocks and the Basildons...
:18:32
.. or should we go straight
to the Bachelors' Ball?
:18:35
Arthur, I almost wish
I were you sometimes.
:18:38
I almost wish you were, too,...
:18:40
.. except you'd make something useful
out of my life and that would never do.
:18:45
You could always get married.
:18:47
It's the "always" bit that alarms me.
:18:51
I could see by the glare in his eye
he was about to do it again.
:18:55
Poor Mr Trafford.
:18:57
- It sounds quite serious.
- Oh, it is.
:18:59
He proposed to me in broad daylight...
:19:02
.. in front of that dreadful
statue of Achilles.
:19:05
The things that go on
in front of it are quite appalling!
:19:08
The police should interfere!
:19:12
It may not suit a modern girl
like you, Mabel,...
:19:15
.. but there is, of course,
one extremely effective way...
:19:20
-.. to stop his proposals.
- What would that be?
:19:23
- To accept one of them!
- Oh, no!
:19:25
Ladies!
:19:29
By the way,...
have you been talking to my father?
:19:33
- Why? Should I?
- Certainly not.
:19:35
He was foolish enough to suggest
that I model myself on you.
:19:39
I have always said he was a man
of exquisite taste and rare judgment.
:19:43
Hard work, probity, and a good woman.
:19:46
He neglected to mention that you took
the last good woman I know.
:19:50
Took her right out of my arms,
if I remember correctly.
:19:53
What's that saying about the sea
and there being plenty of fish in it?
:19:57
Mmm, yes, but I couldn't
possibly marry a fish.
