:16:02
I suppose his fortune
had some bearing?
:16:04
I wouldn't do your sister the dishonour.
:16:07
- It was suggested...
- What was?
:16:09
It was clear an advantageous marriage...
:16:12
- Did my sister give that impression?
- No!
:16:14
- No. There was, however, your family...
- Our want of connection?
:16:18
- No, it was more than that.
- How, sir?
:16:21
The lack of propriety shown by your
mother, younger sisters and your father.
:16:29
Forgive me. You and your sister
I must exclude from this.
:16:38
And what about Mr Wickham?
:16:42
Mr Wickham?
:16:43
What excuse can you
give for your behaviour?
:16:46
- You take an eager interest.
- He told me of his misfortunes.
:16:49
- Oh, they have been great.
- You ruin his chances
:16:52
yet treat him with sarcasm.
:16:54
So this is your opinion of me?
:16:56
Thank you. Perhaps these offences
might have been overlooked
:16:59
had not your pride been hurt
by my scruples about our relationship.
:17:04
I am to rejoice in the inferiority
of your circumstances?
:17:07
And those are the words of a gentleman.
:17:10
Your arrogance and conceit, your selfish
disdain for the feelings of others
:17:14
made me realise you were the last man
in the world I could ever marry.
:17:31
Forgive me, madam,
for taking up so much of your time.
