:41:00
I have a mother and a sister.
:41:04
Dear God!
:41:06
If he has sent me here,
what has he done to Kate?
:41:10
I'm grateful that you came.
:41:11
It is a boon to a single man...
:41:13
to have such a lady as yourself
for my hostess.
:41:16
I know little of how these things
are done in London.
:41:19
Surely one of the other ladies
would be more adept.
:41:23
You are the only lady present.
:41:27
By the time I was finished,
she couldn't escape.
:41:37
Have you thought about the investment
I brought you?
:41:41
It has its merits and its risks.
:41:44
You know, Nickleby, I've noticed
you never seem to touch your wine...
:41:48
while we drink and drink.
:41:50
I like to keep a clear head.
:41:52
Yet you pour us so much.
:41:54
I must say, it is a pleasure
having your niece with us.
:41:57
He must have designed that, too,
to soften you into speculating.
:42:00
If I could see someone
as winning as Miss Nickleby...
:42:03
when I talk business with her uncle...
:42:05
I can think of no other place
I'd rather talk business.
:42:08
No other place on Earth.
:42:11
Hear, hear!
:42:15
Gentlemen, I feel
we are boring Miss Nickleby.
:42:18
Look, she can barely raise her eyes.
:42:22
The poor dear girl simply cannot understand
why no one here is making love to her.
:42:27
She gasps! I have uncovered her secret.
:42:32
You misunderstand me.
:42:34
In fact, I'll hold any man £50...
:42:36
that Miss Nickleby can't look in my face
and tell me that she wasn't thinking so.
:42:41
Done!
:42:45
Pray, do not make me the subject of bets.
:42:49
Uncle, please!
:42:51
Why not, if the gentlemen insist?
:42:53
It's a minute's work.
:42:55
Just lift your eyes and tell me that
you're not hoping I would make love to you.
