I wonder whether the matter
would be of any interest to her.

:36:08
Mrs Cheveley,...
:36:09
.. won't you sit down?
:36:11
Thanks.
:36:13
I can't help feeling
that this disturbing new thing,...

:36:17
.. this higher education of women,...
:36:19
.. will deal a terrible blow
to happy married life.

:36:22
The higher education of men is what
I'd like to see. Men need it so sadly.

:36:26
They do, dear. But such a scheme
would be quite unpractical.

:36:29
I don't think man has much capacity
for development.

:36:32
He's got as far as he can...
and that's not far, is it?

:36:35
With regard to women, dear Gertrude,
modern women understand everything.

:36:40
Except their husbands. That is
the one thing they never understand.

:36:44
A very good thing too, dear, I dare say.
:36:47
It might break up
many a happy home if they did.

:36:50
Not yours, I need hardly say, Gertrude.
:36:53
You have married the perfect husband.
:36:56
And now, dear ladies,
I had better set forth.

:37:00
I haven't time
to be idling around here all day.

:37:03
I should be idling somewhere else shortly
or I shall fall behind.

:37:07
No, I'll see myself out.
:37:09
No doubt you have
many pleasant reminiscences...

:37:12
-.. of your schooldays to talk over.
- Goodbye.

:37:16
Goodbye, my dear.
:37:21
Wonderful woman, Lady Markby,
isn't she?

:37:24
Talks more and says less
than anybody I ever met.

:37:27
- Now, Gertrude...
- Mrs Cheveley,...

:37:30
.. I think it is right to tell you...
:37:33
.. that I wish you never to return
to this house again...

:37:36
.. and never to attempt
to contact my husband.

:37:39
I see that after all these years
you've not changed.

:37:42
- I hope I never will.
- Life has taught you nothing.

:37:45
A person who has once been guilty...
:37:48
.. of a dishonest action may be guilty
a second time and should be shunned.

:37:52
Would you apply that rule to everyone?
:37:56
Yes, without exception.
:37:58
Then I am sorry for you, Gertrude,
very sorry for you.
