Smart, too. Smarter than me,
I expect, but...

:37:05
that's not saying much,
I'm afraid.

:37:07
No, I think I'll do very well
to marry you.

:37:10
How very practical.
:37:12
I've begun too many romances
out of sentiment.

:37:15
They always end in settlement.
:37:18
I could listen to you all night,
Lord Augustus.

:37:20
Tuppy, please.
:37:24
You'll think about my offer?
:37:27
Men don't marry women like me.
:37:30
There aren't any women like you.
:37:32
At least, not among the women
I've met, and I've met my share.

:37:36
I was married - I didn't take to it.
:37:39
People change. You might
feel differently.

:37:43
When I think of it, I think
of a room...

:37:46
where you can't open a window.
:37:49
Where there is no window.
:37:53
Every day you wake up
and the room is smaller.

:37:57
You don't notice, not at first.
It happens slowly.

:38:01
In inches.
:38:04
Then one morning,
you open your eyes...

:38:07
and the room is so small...
:38:11
you can't move.
:38:13
You can't take a breath.
:38:17
You have to get out.
:38:20
You can't think of anything else.
:38:22
Or anyone else.
:38:25
You married the wrong man,
that's all.

:38:31
He married the wrong woman.
:38:35
It's late.
:38:37
It's time for bed.
:38:39
Sleep.
:38:41
"...Perchance to dream".
:38:43
That's the bard, you know.
I'm a bit of a reader myself.

:38:45
So you said. Goodnight, Tuppy.
:38:51
I hate the taste of tobacco.
:38:58
Well - that's it then.
