:28:01
I know you, Lord Steyne,
you do not know me.

:28:04
You will have forgotten, but you were
kind to my father once, many years ago.

:28:08
I am seldom praised for...
for being kind.
What was his name?

:28:14
Francis Sharp.
:28:17
You are Francis Sharp's daughter?
:28:23
He had a great talent
for painting, as I recall,

:28:27
and none at all for life.
:28:29
I'm attempting to redress that balance.
It is my challenge.

:28:38
I've watched you in the lists.
I wish you luck.

:28:43
It will not be easy.
:28:46
Of course, it's the women
who keep the doors of society closed.

:28:50
They do not like outsiders to discover
that there's nothing behind them.

:28:56
Should you like to come
to Gaunt House?

:28:59
Very much, my lord.
:29:01
You will be bored there.
:29:04
My wife is as gay as Lady Macbeth...
:29:06
and my daughters-in-law
as cheerful as Goneril and Regan.

:29:10
They will bully you and snub you
and patronize you.

:29:16
But that's what you want, I suppose.
:29:18
It is.
:29:26
You should take this.
:29:30
You don't want him
back tomorrow.

:29:59
You're playing with fire, Becky.
Dearest, be reasonable.
