Sir.
:27:05
Pray, do not mention to my mother's
dear friends what has passed here.
:27:09
Father has suffered so much,
and is worse than usual this morning.
:27:14
You have but to hint at a wish,
and I would hazard my life to gratify it.
:27:22
Have you ever had the sensation
of looking at someone for the first time...
:27:26
and ever so quickly,
the past and future seem to fuse?
:27:30
- The first time I saw you...
- At your uncle's.
:27:33
And then, that day on the street by the wall.
:27:36
- You remember.
- I felt such concern for you.
:27:40
And I for you.
:27:42
Does that not mean something?
:27:44
That we felt so much, so deeply,
before speaking?
:27:48
And now that I know your history...
:27:50
I entreat you to believe,
I would do anything to help you.
:27:58
Do you know Madeline Bray?
:28:00
Nigel Bray's daughter?
:28:01
Indeed I do. She may be
the prettiest girl in all of London.
:28:05
Bray owes me money.
:28:08
What if I were to erase that debt...
:28:10
in exchange for his giving you
his daughter's hand?
:28:15
Would that put you in a better frame of mind
to consider my investment?
:28:20
I should say it would secure it.
:28:28
My...
:28:30
the canvas must blush, she flatters it so.
:28:34
Are they not extraordinary?
:28:39
I'm sorry to intrude,
but I was passing this way.
:28:42
I remember your telling me on our walk
how much you like violets.
:28:47
I thought I would bring some
for your mother...
:28:50
and all of you.
:28:52
That is most kind of you. They're lovely.
:28:58
Thank you.
Won't you stay and have supper?
