:44:09
Oh...
:44:10
God!
:44:13
When you left this afternoon,
my life fell apart.
:44:16
My love is in ruins.
:44:18
I need you after all.
:44:20
I am coming to you now,...
:44:22
.. Gertrude.
:44:24
A lady is coming to see me
on particular business.
:44:28
- Show her into the drawing room.
- Yes, my lord.
:44:31
This is a matter of the gravest importance.
:44:34
I understand.
:44:35
No-one else is to be admitted.
Tell them I'm not at home.
:44:39
I understand, my lord.
:44:40
- Arthur...
- Yes, Father.
:44:51
Good evening, Phipps.
:44:54
How nice to see you again, madam.
:45:02
His lordship is engaged at present
with Lord Caversham, madam.
:45:06
How very filial.
:45:08
His lordship told me to ask you,
madam,...
:45:11
.. to be kind enough
to wait in the drawing room for him.
:45:15
His lordship will come to you there.
:45:17
- Lord Goring expects me?
- Yes, madam.
:45:20
Are you quite sure?
:45:22
His lordship's directions...
:45:24
.. on the subject were very precise.
:45:27
No, I don't care for that lamp.
It is too glaring. Light some candles.
:45:31
Certainly, madam.
:45:34
Marriage is not a matter...
:45:36
.. of affection, sir,
it is a question of common sense.
:45:39
But women who have common sense
are always so curiously plain.
:45:43
I'm only speaking from hearsay.
:45:45
No woman has any common sense
at all, sir.
:45:48
- It is the privilege of our sex.
- Quite so.
:45:50
And we men are so self-sacrificing
we never use it, do we?
:45:54
- I use it, sir! I use nothing else!
- Mmm, so my mother tells me.
:45:58
It is the secret
of your mother's happiness.
