100:02:36,891 --> 00:02:39,631This is not what we were led to expect

200:02:39,847 --> 00:02:41,900We were to see the Arno

300:02:42,109 --> 00:02:47,115The signora wrote¡°South rooms with a view, close together¡±

400:02:47,328 --> 00:02:52,332Instead of which, we have north roomswithout a view and far apart

500:02:58,424 --> 00:03:04,400Hurry and get dressed or we'll missour dinner on top of everything else

600:03:04,615 --> 00:03:09,692She had no business doing it.No business at all!

700:03:17,799 --> 00:03:22,141Any nook does for me,but it is hard that you have no view

800:03:22,357 --> 00:03:24,409No, you must have a view, too

900:03:24,617 --> 00:03:26,562- Buonasera.- Buonasera

1000:03:26,775 --> 00:03:30,072Miss Lavish,what a recommendation for a place!

1100:03:30,289 --> 00:03:32,755Indeed, Miss Alan, it is

1200:03:32,968 --> 00:03:39,180Between the squalor of London and the squalorof Prato, there is a great gulf fixed

1300:03:52,412 --> 00:03:56,125By going off the track,you get to know the country

1400:03:56,343 --> 00:04:01,871see the little towns,Gubbio, Settignano, Galuzzo

1500:04:02,084 --> 00:04:05,178San Gimignano, Monteriggioni

1600:04:05,945 --> 00:04:10,844Their mixture of the primitivewith the classical is irresistible

1700:04:11,059 --> 00:04:13,976- Miss Pole?- Yes, Mr. Emerson

1800:04:14,190 --> 00:04:17,107What is that you are taking?It's not lemonade, is it?

1900:04:17,319 --> 00:04:21,627- Yes, it is.- Put it right away, Miss Pole

2000:04:21,982 --> 00:04:25,279Lemonade is very bad for the stomach

2100:04:25,494 --> 00:04:27,048Oh!

2200:04:28,939 --> 00:04:34,323I shall tell the signora to givethe next south view available to you

2300:04:34,539 --> 00:04:37,908- Why not to you?- No, I insist

2400:04:39,478 --> 00:04:41,981This meat has surely been boiled

2500:04:42,192 --> 00:04:46,947For stock. It's lost all its flavor

2600:04:48,245 --> 00:04:50,748Monteriggioni is not only quaint

2700:04:50,958 --> 00:04:55,441

but one meets the Italiansin all their simplicity and charm

2800:04:55,655 --> 00:05:00,767Wasn't Monteriggioniwhere we saw the cornflowers, Teresa?

2900:05:01,603 --> 00:05:06,537An entire carpet of them. It was delightful!

3000:05:06,752 --> 00:05:11,507I find the cornflowerthe most delightful of flowers

3100:05:11,761 --> 00:05:18,532I prefer something bolder -the reckless rose, the tempestuous tulip

3200:05:18,786 --> 00:05:22,950- Your mother would never forgive me.- She'd want you to have it

3300:05:23,170 --> 00:05:25,980On no account. The view of the Arno is yours

3400:05:26,196 --> 00:05:30,230I don't know why we're arguing,because we have no view

3500:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,667I have a view. And so does George

3600:05:35,275 --> 00:05:37,849My son George here

3700:05:38,060 --> 00:05:43,787You can have our rooms.We'll have yours. We can change

3800:05:44,633 --> 00:05:48,144- Why not?- Thank you very much

3900:05:48,356 --> 00:05:52,282- We could not impose on your kindness.- Why?

4000:05:52,496 --> 00:05:54,548

- You see¡- Hush, Lucy

4100:05:55,523 --> 00:06:01,737Women like looking at a view.Men don't. George, persuade them

4200:06:01,956 --> 00:06:04,768It's obvious they should have the rooms

4300:06:04,984 --> 00:06:07,035- Signora?- No, thank you

4400:06:07,245 --> 00:06:14,052We could clear out in fifteen minutes.These niceties go against common sense!

4500:06:14,271 --> 00:06:21,008Every kind of sense. I don't carewhat I see outside. My vision is within

4600:06:21,229 --> 00:06:25,083Here is where the birds singand where the sky is blue

4700:06:26,899 --> 00:06:28,950Come, Lucy

4800:06:32,813 --> 00:06:39,241Let them have the view if they want it.Why not? George, go after them

4900:06:40,292 --> 00:06:42,866What an impossible person!

5000:06:47,598 --> 00:06:51,560- He meant to be kind.- I know how to deal with these people

5100:06:51,773 --> 00:06:55,899Charlotte, you dealed rudely.You dealed wrongly

5200:06:56,991 --> 00:07:01,117This pensione is a failure.Tomorrow we'll change

53

00:07:03,112 --> 00:07:06,231- It's Mr. Beebe.- Who?

5400:07:06,452 --> 00:07:09,546Charlotte, we can't change now

5500:07:11,426 --> 00:07:14,165- Mr. Beebe.- Don't you remember us?

5600:07:14,382 --> 00:07:16,885Miss Bartlett and Miss Honeychurch

5700:07:17,095 --> 00:07:20,914- We met at Tunbridge Wells.- That very cold Easter

5800:07:21,131 --> 00:07:23,183How do you do?

5900:07:23,427 --> 00:07:28,812- I heard you are to be our vicar.- Yes, I move into the rectory in June

6000:07:30,628 --> 00:07:34,210We did feel so sorry for youin the dining room

6100:07:34,420 --> 00:07:38,618- Mr. Emerson is so tactless.- But he meant to be kind

6200:07:39,568 --> 00:07:44,430This old gentleman and his sonoffered us their rooms with a view

6300:07:44,926 --> 00:07:46,978It was most indelicate!

6400:07:47,672 --> 00:07:52,501But things that are indelicatecan sometimes be beautiful

6500:07:52,718 --> 00:07:57,687- Yes!- I am the chaperone to my young cousin Lucy

66

00:07:58,005 --> 00:08:04,542It would be serious if I put her under anobligation to people of whom I know nothing

6700:08:04,754 --> 00:08:08,751- I wouldn't think much harm could have come.- There

6800:08:10,841 --> 00:08:16,012You think I ought to have accepted?You think I have been narrow-minded

6900:08:16,234 --> 00:08:19,079I never suggested that

7000:08:19,293 --> 00:08:24,785If you would allow me, I would be happyto act as intermediary with Mr. Emerson

7100:08:24,999 --> 00:08:29,197He would not take advantagenor expect gratitude

7200:08:29,417 --> 00:08:33,023He has rooms he does not valueand thinks you would

7300:08:33,244 --> 00:08:35,294Charlotte, please

7400:08:35,539 --> 00:08:38,907My wishes are unimportantcompared with yours

7500:08:39,122 --> 00:08:42,456I am only here through your kindness

7600:08:42,670 --> 00:08:47,012If you want me to turn these gentlemenout of their rooms, I will

7700:08:48,793 --> 00:08:53,276Would you, Mr. Beebe, kindly tell Mr¡

7800:08:53,699 --> 00:08:55,751- Emerson.- Emerson¡

79

00:08:57,803 --> 00:08:59,853¡we accept his offer?

8000:09:09,804 --> 00:09:13,623I would like to thank your father personallyfor his kindness

8100:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,934You can't. He's in his bath

8200:09:21,944 --> 00:09:24,541I would have given the larger room to you

8300:09:24,762 --> 00:09:29,353but I happen to knowit was the young man's

8400:09:29,564 --> 00:09:33,145In my small way, I am a woman of the world

8500:09:33,354 --> 00:09:36,451And I know where things can lead

8600:09:38,016 --> 00:09:40,068Whatever does it mean?

8700:10:30,717 --> 00:10:34,844Lucy, get dressed or the better partof the day will be gone

8800:11:42,378 --> 00:11:45,473You said you liked cornflowers

8900:11:45,682 --> 00:11:49,916- So we brought you cornflowers.- Oh, how kind!

9000:11:50,135 --> 00:11:54,132They're your type of flowers.They have your personality

9100:11:54,345 --> 00:11:57,333I'd like to see them in your hair

9200:11:57,545 --> 00:12:02,337There are no jewels more becoming to a lady

93

00:12:25,444 --> 00:12:28,989May I say something rather daring?

9400:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,469Mr. Beebe, you sound like Miss Lavish

9500:12:33,689 --> 00:12:38,860- Are you writing a novel, too?- If I were, you would be my heroine

9600:12:39,079 --> 00:12:45,128And I should write If Miss Honeychurchever takes to live as she plays¡

9700:12:47,046 --> 00:12:51,493¡°¡it will be very exciting,both for us and for her.¡±

9800:12:59,222 --> 00:13:04,676Mother doesn't like me playing Beethoven.She says I'm peevish afterwards

9900:13:04,890 --> 00:13:08,045Naturally, one would be stirred up

10000:13:09,205 --> 00:13:11,352Won't you play some more?

10100:13:11,570 --> 00:13:13,622No, I think I'll go out

10200:13:13,832 --> 00:13:18,351Alone? Is that wise, Miss Honeychurch?

10300:13:18,562 --> 00:13:21,658To be wise, one might have stayed at home

10400:13:23,955 --> 00:13:27,251I'll not go far. I promise

10500:13:29,068 --> 00:13:31,119I'm sorry

10600:13:35,224 --> 00:13:37,929Whatever's the matter with dear Miss Lucy?

10700:13:38,148 --> 00:13:41,243

I put it down to too much Beethoven

10800:13:41,487 --> 00:13:43,669I heard her beautiful playing

10900:13:43,887 --> 00:13:48,513Miss Catharine,you have flowers in your hair

11000:13:59,924 --> 00:14:03,018Buongiorno, buongiorno, Ferdinando!

11100:14:05,106 --> 00:14:07,158We salute thee

11200:14:07,367 --> 00:14:12,789The bronze came from Turkish cannons,captured by the Knights of San Stefano

11300:14:13,004 --> 00:14:14,770Come along

11400:14:26,988 --> 00:14:31,921Stop a minute. Let that man go onor I shall have to speak to him

11500:14:32,135 --> 00:14:34,188Oh, the British abroad!

11600:14:35,336 --> 00:14:40,270I'd set an examination at Doverand turn back any tourists who failed

11700:15:23,028 --> 00:15:29,185Miss, this sepolcro not very good.You go see affresci di Giotto

11800:15:29,395 --> 00:15:33,178- Capella Peruzzi, Capella Bardivery good.- No, thank you

12100:15:44,353 --> 00:15:48,622- No, thank you.- I very¡ good speak English

12200:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,012- Do go away, please.- Capella Peruzzi, affresci di Giotto¡

12300:15:54,231 --> 00:15:56,343<i>Cio tuttol</i>

12400:16:06,371 --> 00:16:12,350You see here these superb frescoesby Giotto, depicting the life of St Francis

12500:16:12,565 --> 00:16:16,763On the left, there he is,renouncing worldly goods

12600:16:16,982 --> 00:16:20,207And, on the right, the fourth Pope

12700:16:22,199 --> 00:16:26,956And here he is preaching to the bishops

12800:16:27,175 --> 00:16:34,435And there he is undergoing a¡ trialby fire before the Sultan

12900:16:34,654 --> 00:16:36,040And here¡

13000:16:36,706 --> 00:16:38,757Ah, Mr. Eager, good morning

13100:16:39,559 --> 00:16:44,563I'm leading a little private tour of my own

13200:16:46,933 --> 00:16:49,850Here he is on his deathbed, surrounded¡

13300:16:50,065 --> 00:16:54,619Mr. Eager is our English chaplainhere in Florence

13400:16:54,830 --> 00:16:57,984¡now unhappily ruined by restoration

13500:16:58,206 --> 00:17:03,661is untroubled by the snaresof anatomy and perspective¡

13600:17:03,874 --> 00:17:09,438Look at that fat man! He must weigh as muchas I do, but he's floating like a balloon

13700:17:11,005 --> 00:17:17,293Remember that Santa Croce was built by faithin the full fervor of medievalism

13800:17:17,511 --> 00:17:22,895Built by faith! That simply meansthe workers weren't paid properly!

13900:17:26,661 --> 00:17:31,974Pardon me. The chapel is somewhat small.We will incommode you no longer

14000:17:32,190 --> 00:17:33,721Oh, I¡ Oh!

14100:17:33,930 --> 00:17:38,235Mr. Eager, there's plenty of roomfor all of us. You don't have to¡

14200:17:39,530 --> 00:17:41,582Oh, dear

14500:17:49,828 --> 00:17:53,302as well as in the placefrom which we've been expelled

14600:17:53,516 --> 00:17:59,149the special character of Giottoamong the great painters

14700:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,754He was practical¡

14800:18:01,967 --> 00:18:06,652My poor boy has brains,but he's very muddled

14900:18:06,872 --> 00:18:09,054But why should he be?

15000:18:09,273 --> 00:18:13,649Well may you ask.But think how he's been brought up -

15100:18:13,865 --> 00:18:18,514free from the superstitionthat leads men to hate in the name of God

15200:18:20,162 --> 00:18:22,213I must go¡

15300:18:22,422 --> 00:18:26,655I don't require you to fall in lovewith my boy, but please help him

15400:18:28,475 --> 00:18:31,214If only one could stop him from brooding

15500:18:32,615 --> 00:18:36,161And on what? The things of the universe

15600:18:38,773 --> 00:18:42,283I don't believe in this world sorrow. Do you?

15700:18:42,494 --> 00:18:46,172No, I don't. Not at all, Mr. Emerson

15800:18:46,391 --> 00:18:52,118Well, there you are.Make my boy realize that

15900:18:52,338 --> 00:18:57,580at the side of the everlasting ¡°why¡±,there is a ¡°yes¡±

16000:18:57,799 --> 00:18:59,852And a ¡°yes¡± and a ¡°yes¡±!

16100:19:01,244 --> 00:19:04,127Has your son no particular hobby?

16200:19:04,341 --> 00:19:06,391I forget my worries at the piano

16300:19:06,601 --> 00:19:09,661and collecting stamps helped my brother

16400:19:09,906 --> 00:19:15,053Excuse me. My cousin will bemost anxious if I don't get back

16500:19:15,262 --> 00:19:18,287- Poor girl.- Poor girl?

16600:19:18,497 --> 00:19:24,617I think myself most fortunate.I'm very happy and having a splendid time

16700:19:24,829 --> 00:19:27,924Thank you very much. Goodbye

16800:19:46,988 --> 00:19:52,551Look at that adorable wine cart.How he stares at us, dear simple soul!

16900:19:52,763 --> 00:19:55,468I love these little dark alleys

17000:19:57,146 --> 00:20:00,692They're all peasants, you know. Come along

17100:20:08,277 --> 00:20:10,329I do declare we're lost

17200:20:13,530 --> 00:20:17,906No, Miss Bartlett,you will not look into your Baedeker

17300:20:18,122 --> 00:20:22,985Two lone females in an unknown city,that's what I call an adventure

17400:20:23,199 --> 00:20:25,252We will simply drift

17500:20:29,811 --> 00:20:33,523

One always has to be wide open.I think Miss Lucy is

17600:20:33,742 --> 00:20:37,489- Open to what, Miss Lavish?- To physical sensation

17700:20:37,706 --> 00:20:42,296I'll let you into a secret.I have my eye on your cousin

17800:20:42,508 --> 00:20:44,832For a character in your novel?

17900:20:45,048 --> 00:20:48,415The young English girl, transfigured by Italy

18000:20:48,629 --> 00:20:51,928And why should she not be transfigured?

18100:20:52,144 --> 00:20:54,289It happened to the Goths

18200:21:01,083 --> 00:21:03,135Signorina?

18300:21:05,537 --> 00:21:07,374The smell!

18400:21:07,588 --> 00:21:11,715A true Florentine smell. Inhale, my dear

18500:21:11,936 --> 00:21:13,988Deeper

18600:21:14,337 --> 00:21:18,119Every city, let me tell you, has its own smell

18700:21:21,329 --> 00:21:23,381Grazie

18800:23:30,004 --> 00:23:32,056How are you now?

18900:23:34,318 --> 00:23:37,995Perfectly well. Absolutely well

19000:23:38,214 --> 00:23:40,265Then, let's go home

19100:23:41,066 --> 00:23:44,055There's no point in our stopping

19200:23:45,589 --> 00:23:49,028How very kind you've been.I can go alone. Thank you

19300:23:50,771 --> 00:23:54,355- My photographs!- What photographs?

19400:23:54,564 --> 00:23:59,735I must have dropped themin the square. Would you be so kind¡?

19500:24:10,427 --> 00:24:12,713Miss Honeychurch!

19600:24:14,948 --> 00:24:16,999You're not fit enough to go alone

19700:24:17,244 --> 00:24:20,363- I am.- No, you're not!

19800:24:20,584 --> 00:24:23,289- But¡- Then I don't get the photographs

19900:24:24,098 --> 00:24:27,536Besides, that way,you'd have to fly over the wall

20000:24:27,749 --> 00:24:31,011Sit down and don't move until I come back

20100:25:55,237 --> 00:25:57,349Isn't it extraordinary?

20200:25:57,569 --> 00:26:04,140I mean, Italians are so kind, so lovable,and yet at the same time so violent

20300:26:06,683 --> 00:26:08,213

Mr. Emerson?

20400:26:10,439 --> 00:26:15,302I've never been so ashamed.I can't think what came over me

20500:26:15,518 --> 00:26:19,408It's perfectly natural.I nearly fainted myself

20600:26:19,727 --> 00:26:23,440Well, I owe you a thousand apologies

20700:26:23,658 --> 00:26:28,770And¡ I want to ask you a great favor

20800:26:28,981 --> 00:26:31,555You know how silly people are

20900:26:32,669 --> 00:26:34,720Gossiping

21000:26:36,773 --> 00:26:39,026Ladies especially, I'm afraid

21100:26:40,286 --> 00:26:44,069- You understand what I mean?- No

21200:26:45,991 --> 00:26:51,162I mean, would you not mention it to anyone,my foolish behavior

21300:26:57,365 --> 00:27:00,972What was that?I believe it was my photographs!

21400:27:01,193 --> 00:27:05,225I didn't know what to do with them.They were covered with blood

21500:27:05,436 --> 00:27:08,626There. Now I've told you

21600:27:13,125 --> 00:27:16,220Something tremendous has happened

217

00:27:18,378 --> 00:27:21,745Well, thank you¡ again

21800:27:22,830 --> 00:27:27,421How quickly accidents happen.Then one returns to the old life

21900:27:27,632 --> 00:27:29,681I don't

22000:27:29,891 --> 00:27:33,711I mean¡ something's happened to me

22100:27:33,926 --> 00:27:36,215And to you

22200:28:00,990 --> 00:28:03,351- No!- She is my sister

22300:28:05,827 --> 00:28:09,052- We ought not to allow this.- They're doing no harm

22400:28:09,269 --> 00:28:11,771You can't object in such a landscape

22500:28:12,645 --> 00:28:14,933As long as she is his sister

22600:28:16,471 --> 00:28:21,476So, Miss Honeychurch, you're traveling.As a student of art?

22700:28:21,690 --> 00:28:27,074- No, I'm afraid not.- As a student of human nature like myself?

22800:28:27,324 --> 00:28:29,922- I'm here as a tourist.- Indeed?

22900:28:30,804 --> 00:28:35,559We residents sometimes pityyou poor tourists not a little

23000:28:35,777 --> 00:28:39,631Handed about like parcels

from Venice to Florence to Rome

23100:28:40,369 --> 00:28:46,621unconscious of anything outside Baedeker,anxious to get done and go on elsewhere

23200:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,907I abhor Baedeker.I'd fling every copy in the Arno

23300:28:51,117 --> 00:28:56,645Towns, rivers, palaces,all mixed up in an inextricable whirl

23400:28:59,919 --> 00:29:02,066Over there, Miss Honeychurch

23500:29:02,945 --> 00:29:05,448the villa of my dear friend Lady Laverstock

23600:29:05,658 --> 00:29:08,993at present busywith a Fra Angelico definitive study

23700:29:10,077 --> 00:29:13,682And, on your left - no, just there -

23800:29:14,668 --> 00:29:17,764Mr. Henry Burridge lives

23900:29:18,356 --> 00:29:21,345An American of the best type. So rare!

24000:29:21,557 --> 00:29:25,411Doubtless you know his monographsin ¡°Medieval Byways¡±

24100:29:34,010 --> 00:29:37,722Your father, Mr. Emerson, is a journalist?

24200:29:37,941 --> 00:29:41,903- He used to be.- He's retired? And you, yourself?

24300:29:42,114 --> 00:29:44,168I'm on the railways

244

00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,064You know the American girlin ¡°Punch¡± who says to her father

24500:29:49,281 --> 00:29:51,853¡°Say, Poppa, what did we see in Rome?¡±

24600:29:52,064 --> 00:29:57,235The father replies,¡°Guess Rome was where we saw the yellow dog.¡±

24700:29:57,455 --> 00:29:59,958Yellow dog!

24800:30:00,864 --> 00:30:03,190There's traveling for you!

24900:30:03,405 --> 00:30:05,587What?! Stop at once!

25000:30:12,275 --> 00:30:14,327I'm not having this

25100:30:14,535 --> 00:30:16,860Ferma la carrozza subitol

25200:30:17,075 --> 00:30:19,152Have we bolted?

25300:30:32,034 --> 00:30:35,616What? Is Phaethon misbehavingwith his Persephone?

25400:30:35,826 --> 00:30:38,779- Please, I'll deal with them.- Leave them

25500:30:38,990 --> 00:30:42,668Do we find happinessso often that we should turn it away?

25600:30:43,374 --> 00:30:44,796Scendal

25700:31:57,990 --> 00:32:00,043Beauty!

258

00:32:04,913 --> 00:32:06,965Espoirl

25900:32:08,497 --> 00:32:10,857Is that your son?

26000:32:11,071 --> 00:32:15,304Could that be the silent, dour George?

26100:32:15,803 --> 00:32:17,853He's saying his creed

26200:32:20,951 --> 00:32:25,078One more lump,if I might trouble you, Mr. Beebe

26300:32:25,717 --> 00:32:27,768Joy!

26400:32:28,358 --> 00:32:30,411Beauty!

26500:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,613Joy¡!

26600:32:35,456 --> 00:32:37,923He's declaring the eternal ¡°yes¡±

26700:32:38,135 --> 00:32:41,230And a spoon, if there is one

26800:32:42,622 --> 00:32:45,469Love!

26900:32:45,684 --> 00:32:50,439- What's that?- The gentlemen are doubtless having a game

27000:32:50,658 --> 00:32:53,255Why don't you join them, dear?

27100:32:53,476 --> 00:32:55,623I want to stop here with you

27200:32:55,842 --> 00:33:00,632Observe my foresight. I never venture forthwithout my mackintosh squares

27300:33:00,849 --> 00:33:06,022At any time, one may have to siton damp ground or cold marble

27400:33:07,530 --> 00:33:10,031Lucy, you have the other one

27500:33:10,242 --> 00:33:14,406Come on, I insist. The ground will do for me

27600:33:15,669 --> 00:33:20,877I have not had rheumatism for years,and if I feel a twinge I'll stand up

27700:33:23,253 --> 00:33:25,756And she never went back to Weybridge?

27800:33:25,967 --> 00:33:30,448Her friend had to return without her.She remained at Monteriano

27900:33:30,662 --> 00:33:32,714And did she really¡?

28000:33:40,577 --> 00:33:43,696No, no. Don't be alarmed. This is not a cold

28100:33:43,916 --> 00:33:47,069Just a slight cough.I've had it for three days

28200:33:47,325 --> 00:33:50,065Nothing to do with sitting on the ground

28300:33:50,282 --> 00:33:53,377I shall go and find Mr. Beebe

28400:33:53,586 --> 00:33:57,583Oh, do, dear. He will be so pleased

28500:34:02,039 --> 00:34:06,630- Did she really marry this Italian?- In the church at Monteriano

28600:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,967A youth. Ten years younger than herself

28700:34:12,232 --> 00:34:13,585Eleanor!

28800:34:13,797 --> 00:34:19,075PUCCINI'S ¡°CHI IL BEL SOGNODI DORETTA¡± FROM ¡°LA RONDINE¡±)

28900:34:25,973 --> 00:34:27,325Excuse me

29000:34:29,383 --> 00:34:31,434Dove Mr. Beebe?

29100:34:35,017 --> 00:34:37,590Buoni uomini?

29200:34:49,524 --> 00:34:53,450I think there is somethingin the Italian landscape

29300:34:53,664 --> 00:34:57,137which inclineseven the most stolid to romance

29400:34:57,349 --> 00:35:01,548It reminds me somewhatof the country around Shropshire

29500:35:01,768 --> 00:35:06,939Where I once spent a holidayat the home of my friend Miss Apesbury

29600:35:08,761 --> 00:35:13,802And I divine it, Charlotte.You had an adventure there

29700:35:14,013 --> 00:35:16,065Vain to deny it

29800:36:46,615 --> 00:36:48,311Lucy!

29900:37:05,676 --> 00:37:11,892Mr. Eager, do come and join us.Miss Honeychurch is feeling unwell

300

00:37:15,453 --> 00:37:17,919Andiamo

30100:37:25,229 --> 00:37:27,279Andiamol

30200:37:27,627 --> 00:37:29,679George. George

30300:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,521- Aren't you coming with us?- I'll walk

30400:37:37,959 --> 00:37:40,011Are you sure?

30500:38:24,225 --> 00:38:27,107Courage, Miss Honeychurch, and faith

30600:38:27,322 --> 00:38:32,849Do you suppose this display is calledinto existence to extinguish you or me?

30700:38:33,061 --> 00:38:37,543Even scientifically, the chancesagainst being struck are enormous

30800:38:37,757 --> 00:38:42,585The steel knives that might attractthe current are in the other carriage

30900:38:50,038 --> 00:38:51,734What is to be done?

31000:38:52,299 --> 00:38:55,214How do you propose to silence him?

31100:38:56,472 --> 00:39:00,707- The driver?- My dear girl, no. Mr. George Emerson

31200:39:02,594 --> 00:39:07,042I don't wish to be uncharitable,but I know he will talk

31300:39:07,257 --> 00:39:09,829He will not. He never talks

31400:39:10,003 --> 00:39:13,965One's lucky to getas much as a ¡°yes¡± or ¡°no¡± out of him

31500:39:14,179 --> 00:39:18,411Unfortunately, I have met the type before

31600:39:19,431 --> 00:39:22,871They seldom keep their exploits to themselves

31700:39:23,084 --> 00:39:25,135Exploits?

31800:39:27,153 --> 00:39:31,081Very well. I'll speak to him

31900:39:32,371 --> 00:39:36,500Oh, no, my dear Lucy.I think it is for me to do that

32000:39:40,546 --> 00:39:44,092He should have been hereat least an hour ago

32100:39:44,930 --> 00:39:50,101Don't stand there, dear.You will be seen from the outside

32200:39:52,583 --> 00:39:55,773The moment he comes, I shall face him

32300:39:55,991 --> 00:39:58,731No, my dear, you will do no such thing

32400:39:59,992 --> 00:40:02,494My poor dear girl, you are so young!

32500:40:02,706 --> 00:40:09,347You've always lived among such nice people.You cannot realize what men can be

32600:40:09,559 --> 00:40:14,077This afternoon, if I had not arrived,what would have happened?

32700:40:14,289 --> 00:40:18,003- I can't think.

- Answer me, Lucia

32800:40:18,222 --> 00:40:20,546What would have happened had I not appeared?

32900:40:22,290 --> 00:40:24,686You did appear!

33000:40:24,900 --> 00:40:27,852Oh, I have vexed you at every turn

33100:40:28,064 --> 00:40:33,272It's true.I am too old for you. And too dull

33200:40:35,197 --> 00:40:38,315It will be a push to catch the morning train

33300:40:39,823 --> 00:40:45,065I have failed in my duty to your mother.She will never forgive me when you tell her

33400:40:45,284 --> 00:40:48,060Come away from the window!

33500:40:48,276 --> 00:40:51,644She will certainly blame mewhen she hears of it

33600:40:51,859 --> 00:40:53,911Certainly

33700:40:55,478 --> 00:40:57,528And deservedly

33800:40:58,434 --> 00:41:05,241- Why need Mother hear of it?- Well, you tell her everything. Don't you?

33900:41:05,844 --> 00:41:08,131I suppose I do, generally

34000:41:08,347 --> 00:41:12,310There's such a beautiful confidencebetween you

34100:41:12,522 --> 00:41:14,575

One would hate to break it

34200:41:15,235 --> 00:41:17,808And, as I've said before, I am to blame

34300:41:19,155 --> 00:41:22,180But, of course, we have not had a full week

34400:41:22,390 --> 00:41:26,031I reserved them for a weeklike you wrote you wanted

34500:41:26,252 --> 00:41:31,601Yes, but we've only had half a week,so I calculate we owe you half the price

34600:41:31,817 --> 00:41:36,443I'm the loser.I could have let them rooms five times over

34700:42:00,690 --> 00:42:03,715Buonasera. Grazie

34800:42:17,979 --> 00:42:22,178Lucy! We must get packed immediately!

34900:42:24,101 --> 00:42:29,273I wish to have a word with you,Mr. Emerson, in the drawing room, please

35000:42:52,314 --> 00:42:56,240- You shouldn't peep.- Cecil asked my permission

35100:42:56,452 --> 00:42:58,813but he can't manage without me

35200:42:59,028 --> 00:43:01,079- Nor me.- You?

35300:43:01,288 --> 00:43:04,621- He asked my permission also.- Whatever did you say?

35400:43:04,837 --> 00:43:06,912- I said no.- What?!

35500:43:07,132 --> 00:43:12,447It's the way he put it - wouldn't it bea splendid thing for Lucy if he married her?

35600:43:12,663 --> 00:43:17,419Wasn't I off my head with joy?So I said no, I wasn't

35700:43:17,639 --> 00:43:23,830Ridiculous child. You think you're so holyand truthful, but it's just conceit

35800:43:24,039 --> 00:43:26,610Look out!

35900:43:27,482 --> 00:43:29,534I promessi sposel

36000:43:32,874 --> 00:43:36,871- She has accepted me.- I'm so glad

36100:43:37,083 --> 00:43:41,046Dear Cecil, what joy!

36200:43:41,258 --> 00:43:45,290- Well, welcome as one of the family.- Thank you

36300:43:48,737 --> 00:43:52,282- Mother?- Lucy

36400:44:06,930 --> 00:44:09,077Freddy!

36500:44:13,227 --> 00:44:15,444- Mr. Beebe.- Thank you, Mary

36600:44:15,661 --> 00:44:19,825Hello, Mr. Vyse, I've come for tea.Do you suppose I shall get it?

36700:44:20,044 --> 00:44:22,820Food is the one thing one does get here

36800:44:24,184 --> 00:44:28,217- What an extraordinary thing!- One of Freddy's bones

36900:44:28,463 --> 00:44:35,140He's terrible. A most unpromising youth.So unlike his sister

37000:44:35,351 --> 00:44:38,019You think his sister is promising?

37100:44:38,237 --> 00:44:41,334I have a pet theory about Miss Honeychurch

37200:44:41,544 --> 00:44:49,811Is it not odd that she should play Beethovenwith such passion and live so quietly?

37300:44:50,032 --> 00:44:52,735I suspect that one day¡

37400:44:54,589 --> 00:44:57,886¡music and life will mingle

37500:44:58,102 --> 00:45:00,841Then she will be wonderful in both

37600:45:01,058 --> 00:45:07,179I trust that day is at hand.She has just promised to marry me

37700:45:09,478 --> 00:45:12,394I'm sorry if I've given you a shock

37800:45:12,607 --> 00:45:16,534I'm awfully sorry.I'd no idea you were so intimate with her

37900:45:16,747 --> 00:45:20,814You should have stopped me.Shall we join the others?

38000:45:24,225 --> 00:45:26,277Congratulations

38100:45:26,591 --> 00:45:29,686Blessings. Your vicar's benediction

38200:45:30,904 --> 00:45:33,573I want you to be supremely happy

38300:45:33,793 --> 00:45:38,620And supremely good,both as man and wife, mother and father

38400:45:38,836 --> 00:45:40,888And now I want my tea

38500:45:41,098 --> 00:45:44,988Just in time. How dare you be so serious!

38600:45:49,968 --> 00:45:55,009- Summer Street will never be the same.- It's too small for anyone like ourselves

38700:45:55,221 --> 00:45:58,933It might attract the wrong type.The trains have improved so

38800:45:59,151 --> 00:46:03,978Fatal. What are five milesfrom the station these days?

38900:46:04,473 --> 00:46:07,462Sir Harry, how about spinsters as tenants?

39000:46:07,675 --> 00:46:10,829Most certainly!That is, if they are gentlewomen

39100:46:11,049 --> 00:46:17,264Indeed they are. Miss Teresaand Miss Catharine Alan. I met them in Italy

39200:46:17,762 --> 00:46:23,111Sir Harry, beware of these gentlewomen.Only let to a man

39300:46:23,328 --> 00:46:25,380Provided, of course, he's clean

39400:46:25,590 --> 00:46:27,639You'd love the Miss Alans

395

00:46:27,850 --> 00:46:31,776I don't think I'd like anyone at that pensione

39600:46:31,990 --> 00:46:36,994Wasn't there a lady novelistand a free-thinking father and son?

39700:46:37,243 --> 00:46:41,514I have no profession.My attitude - quite indefensible -

39800:46:41,764 --> 00:46:45,347is that, if I trouble no one, I may do as I like

39900:46:45,556 --> 00:46:48,652It is, I dare say, an example of my decadence

40000:46:48,896 --> 00:46:53,616You're very fortunate.Leisure is a wonderful opportunity

40100:46:55,472 --> 00:47:00,999Don't slouch, Lucy. Go and talkto Mrs. Pool. Ask her about her leg

40200:47:01,211 --> 00:47:05,100Would Cecil and I be missedif we went for a walk?

40300:47:05,315 --> 00:47:10,487I think it would be all right.Don't get your frock muddied

40400:47:29,388 --> 00:47:34,594It's disgusting the way an engagementis regarded as public property

40500:47:34,814 --> 00:47:37,803All those old women smirking

40600:47:38,014 --> 00:47:41,975One has to go through it.They won't notice us much next time

40700:47:42,189 --> 00:47:45,285But their whole attitude is wrong

40800:47:45,494 --> 00:47:48,482

An engagement -horrid word in the first place -

40900:47:48,694 --> 00:47:52,300is a private matterand should be regarded as such

41000:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,773Oh

41100:47:54,990 --> 00:47:59,580- There's your philosophizing parson.- Don't you like Mr. Beebe?

41200:47:59,792 --> 00:48:03,681I never said so.I consider him far above the average

41300:48:04,695 --> 00:48:07,057Mr. Beebe, I've had a wonderful idea

41400:48:07,270 --> 00:48:12,869I'm going to write to our Miss Alansand ask them to take Sir Harry's villa

41500:48:13,079 --> 00:48:17,041Sir Harry deserves a tenantas vulgar as himself

41600:48:17,255 --> 00:48:19,959Oh, Mr. Vyse, he's really very nice

41700:48:20,942 --> 00:48:23,195Gentlewomen! Yuck!

41800:48:23,412 --> 00:48:27,124Acting the little god down herewith his patronage

41900:48:27,375 --> 00:48:31,302and his sham aesthetics,and everyone is taken in

42000:48:31,516 --> 00:48:34,611I'll write to them,and if you'd also send a word?

42100:48:34,821 --> 00:48:40,350

Certainly. A highly suitableaddition to our little community

42200:48:40,561 --> 00:48:43,655Goodness, how cross you are!

42300:48:48,075 --> 00:48:52,974It was that miserable tea partyand all those dreadful people

42400:48:53,188 --> 00:48:55,241And not being alone with you

42500:48:55,449 --> 00:48:57,323Hmm

42600:49:17,434 --> 00:49:22,510Italy and London are the placeswhere I feel I truly belong

42700:49:22,722 --> 00:49:26,850I am something of an Inglese Italianato

42800:49:27,071 --> 00:49:31,197E un diavolo incarnato.You know the proverb?

42900:49:35,734 --> 00:49:39,860I somehow think you feelmore at home with me in a room

43000:49:40,116 --> 00:49:42,548Never in the real country like this

43100:49:43,490 --> 00:49:49,089I think you're right. When I do think of you,it is always in a room

43200:49:51,038 --> 00:49:53,089This is the Sacred Lake

43300:49:53,752 --> 00:49:58,924Very picturesque, but hardly a lake.More of a puddle

43400:50:00,256 --> 00:50:04,384Freddy loves to bathe here.He's very fond of it

43500:50:04,605 --> 00:50:06,657And you?

43600:50:07,353 --> 00:50:09,405I used to bathe here, too

43700:50:10,379 --> 00:50:12,432Until I was found out

43800:50:14,033 --> 00:50:16,084- Lucy.- Hmm?

43900:50:16,294 --> 00:50:19,248Yes, I suppose we ought to be going

44000:50:23,354 --> 00:50:28,526I want to ask you somethingthat I have never asked before

44100:50:28,851 --> 00:50:30,903What, Cecil?

44200:50:31,494 --> 00:50:33,547Yes?

44300:50:33,825 --> 00:50:35,877I have never kissed you

44400:50:37,966 --> 00:50:40,016No. You haven't

44500:50:42,174 --> 00:50:44,320May I now?

44600:50:44,540 --> 00:50:46,615Well, of course you may, Cecil

44700:50:46,835 --> 00:50:49,610You might before. I can't run at you

44800:51:15,917 --> 00:51:17,968I'm sorry

44900:51:39,015 --> 00:51:43,177

Mother's right. Those peopleCharlotte and I met at the pensione

45000:51:43,399 --> 00:51:46,138they were all rather extraordinary

45100:51:58,043 --> 00:52:00,8190ur neighbor and friend, Sir Harry 0tway

45200:52:01,035 --> 00:52:05,104has a villa in Summer Streetfor which he needs a tenant

45300:52:05,314 --> 00:52:10,213- I immediately thought of you.- The house has the added attraction

45400:52:10,427 --> 00:52:15,433that it stands exactly across the roadfrom the Reverend Beebe's church

45500:52:15,646 --> 00:52:21,102I told him of my plan to lure you hither,and he is in complete agreement

45600:52:21,315 --> 00:52:27,473and says he is writing today to urge youto consider our little corner of Surrey

45700:52:27,681 --> 00:52:31,808¡°Yours sincerely, Lucy Honeychurch.¡± There

45800:53:41,254 --> 00:53:43,959- Goodnight.- Goodnight

45900:53:44,282 --> 00:53:46,393Oh, dear

46000:53:49,012 --> 00:53:51,065- Goodnight.- Goodnight

46100:53:54,614 --> 00:53:56,665Goodnight. See you Friday

46200:53:56,875 --> 00:54:01,003- That will be all, Rose. Thank you.

- Thank you, madam

46300:54:01,222 --> 00:54:03,618Goodnight, Rose

46400:54:03,831 --> 00:54:07,794Make Lucy one of us.Lucy's becoming wonderful

46500:54:08,005 --> 00:54:10,224Her music always was wonderful

46600:54:10,441 --> 00:54:15,197But she's purging off that Honeychurch taint.You know what I mean

46700:54:15,416 --> 00:54:20,455Not quoting the servantsor asking how the pudding is made

46800:54:20,668 --> 00:54:23,586Mind you marry her next January

46900:54:23,798 --> 00:54:27,167Her music, the style of her¡

47000:54:27,381 --> 00:54:32,066how she kept to Schubert when,like an idiot, I wanted Beethoven

47100:54:32,286 --> 00:54:34,861Schubert was right for this evening

47200:54:35,975 --> 00:54:40,351Mother, I shall have our childreneducated just like Lucy

47300:54:40,565 --> 00:54:44,349Bring them up among honest country folkfor freshness

47400:54:44,566 --> 00:54:49,287send them to Italy for¡ subtlety

47500:54:49,506 --> 00:54:52,802And not till then bring them to London

476

00:54:53,611 --> 00:54:56,707Not a day beyond January

47700:55:07,839 --> 00:55:12,252Cecil¡ darling

47800:55:13,475 --> 00:55:16,570So, you do love me, little thing?

47900:55:59,741 --> 00:56:01,436Lucy!

48000:56:02,315 --> 00:56:05,612I want to show her this letterfrom the Miss Alans

48100:56:05,827 --> 00:56:09,575The tiresome Miss Alans.I hate their ¡°if¡±-ing and ¡°but¡±-ing

48200:56:09,827 --> 00:56:12,818Well, now they're really coming

48300:56:13,029 --> 00:56:18,378I had a letter from Miss Teresaasking how often the butcher called

48400:56:18,594 --> 00:56:21,583My reply impressed her favorably. Lucy?

48500:56:21,794 --> 00:56:24,783Go for her. Get her round the shins

48600:56:25,342 --> 00:56:29,933- Freddy, be careful!- You really are savages, you know

48700:56:31,534 --> 00:56:36,742Impossible to make oneself heard.Don't you want to hear about the Miss Alans?

48800:56:36,962 --> 00:56:39,808- Who?- Sir Harry's new tenants

48900:56:40,023 --> 00:56:42,620- That wasn't the name.- Wasn't whose name?

49000:56:43,431 --> 00:56:48,259Sir Harry's tenants.I met him this morning and he said

49100:56:48,476 --> 00:56:52,022¡°I have procured desirable tenants.¡±

49200:56:52,233 --> 00:56:55,079I said, ¡°Hurray,¡±and slapped him on the back

49300:56:55,294 --> 00:56:59,421- Exactly. The Miss Alans.- More like Anderson

49400:56:59,964 --> 00:57:03,678I knew there'd be another muddle.I'm always right

49500:57:03,895 --> 00:57:08,021Only Freddy's muddle,who doesn't even know their name

49600:57:08,244 --> 00:57:12,371Yes, I do. I've got it. It was Emerson

49700:57:13,565 --> 00:57:19,685- What a weathercock Sir Harry is.- I hope they're the right kind of people

49800:57:19,897 --> 00:57:23,574Yes, Freddy,there is a right and a wrong sort

49900:57:23,792 --> 00:57:27,375These must be all right.They're friends of Cecil's

50000:57:27,585 --> 00:57:32,519- Cecil?- So you can all call in perfect safety

50100:57:32,733 --> 00:57:36,171- Cecil?!- We met some Emersons in Florence

50200:57:36,385 --> 00:57:42,151

The oddest people, Mrs. Honeychurch,but we rather liked them

50300:57:42,369 --> 00:57:45,465Emerson's a common enough name

50400:57:46,856 --> 00:57:50,854¡°So really desirable. I've telegraphed them.¡±

50500:57:51,067 --> 00:57:54,363Don't be silly, Freddy. You always overdo it

50600:57:55,066 --> 00:57:57,699A most remarkable father and son

50700:57:57,919 --> 00:58:03,409Father's something of a radical.The son, full of possibilities

50800:58:03,868 --> 00:58:09,181Don't move.Stay where you are. ¡°Ginevra de Benci¡±!

50900:58:09,398 --> 00:58:13,917Did you know you were a Leonardo,smiling at things beyond our ken?

51000:58:14,130 --> 00:58:16,975What's this about Sir Harry's new tenants?

51100:58:17,190 --> 00:58:20,629I have found him tenants for his Cissie Villa

51200:58:20,843 --> 00:58:23,998I've won a great victory for the comic muse

51300:58:24,216 --> 00:58:28,107After all the trouble I took over the Miss Alans

51400:58:28,322 --> 00:58:30,825Of course I'd prefer friends of yours¡

51500:58:31,036 --> 00:58:33,989Friends of mine? The joke is to come

51600:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,807They're strangers

I met in the National Gallery

51700:58:38,029 --> 00:58:41,989They had been to Italy.A father and son. The oddest couple

51800:58:42,202 --> 00:58:47,243In the course of conversazione,they said they wanted a country cottage

51900:58:47,454 --> 00:58:51,238A simple burrowwhere they could smell the earth

52000:58:51,455 --> 00:58:54,753Of course, London has its own character

52100:58:54,969 --> 00:58:59,487but we've a longing for green things growing,don't we, George?

52200:58:59,699 --> 00:59:02,961The sweetness of the English countryside¡

52300:59:03,178 --> 00:59:07,519of wet hedgerowswith birds singing inside them

52400:59:07,735 --> 00:59:11,281I know we should makeour heaven and earth where we are

52500:59:11,492 --> 00:59:16,462However, I fear I've falteredand need some help from outside

52600:59:16,676 --> 00:59:23,318Well, in short, sir, what I seek is a countrycottage where George can come at weekends

52700:59:23,702 --> 00:59:30,617I happen to know of just the place.Not exactly a cottage, more¡ a villa

52800:59:30,833 --> 00:59:32,886Dear sir, I implore you¡

52900:59:33,652 --> 00:59:35,703

If you'd give me your card¡

53000:59:35,912 --> 00:59:40,739I fear we have no card,but George will write down the address

53100:59:40,957 --> 00:59:46,236Sir Harry Otway. It is in Surrey,a place called Summer Street

53200:59:46,660 --> 00:59:50,550Summer Street! I've dreamed of Summer Street

53300:59:51,530 --> 00:59:54,307It will teach that snob Sir Harry a lesson

53400:59:54,524 --> 01:00:00,323The classes should mix, there should beintermarriage. I believe in democracy

53501:00:00,540 --> 01:00:04,289No, you don't!You don't know what the word means

53601:00:04,507 --> 01:00:07,175It isn't fair! I've probably met them before

53701:00:07,395 --> 01:00:10,027Perfectly fair if it punishes a snob

53801:00:10,247 --> 01:00:15,940I blame you. You had no businessto undo my work about the Miss Alans

53901:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,766You've scored off Sir Harry, but at my expense

54001:00:20,509 --> 01:00:22,559It was most disloyal of you

54101:00:26,005 --> 01:00:28,959Temper, Lucy, temper. Please!

54201:00:40,023 --> 01:00:42,597- Hello?- Hello

543

01:00:42,807 --> 01:00:45,581- I've brought someone to see you.- One minute

54401:00:49,139 --> 01:00:51,321Byron. Exactly

54501:00:55,399 --> 01:00:57,451¡°A Shropshire Lad¡±

54601:01:00,061 --> 01:01:02,112Never heard of it

54701:01:02,634 --> 01:01:05,482¡°The Way of All Flesh¡±

54801:01:06,462 --> 01:01:08,513Never heard of it

54901:01:09,139 --> 01:01:12,235Hello? George reads German

55001:01:16,689 --> 01:01:22,109I'm certain that's old Emerson.What are those people doing? Hello!

55101:01:22,673 --> 01:01:25,068Wait on, Mr. Beebe

55201:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,198- This is Mr. Honeychurch.- How do you do?

55301:01:28,412 --> 01:01:31,080How do you do? Come in

55401:01:31,752 --> 01:01:33,898Come and have a bathe!

55501:01:34,117 --> 01:01:36,405I'd like that

55601:01:36,621 --> 01:01:41,378What a conversational opening!¡°How do you do? Come and have a bathe.¡±

55701:01:41,596 --> 01:01:45,558

Emerson, this is Honeychurch.You remember his sister

55801:01:45,771 --> 01:01:49,246Oh, yes. How do you do? Glad to see you

55901:01:49,457 --> 01:01:55,222Very glad to hear your sister is marrying.I'm sure she'll be¡ happy

56001:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,746We know Mr. Vyse, too.He's been very¡ kind

56101:01:59,964 --> 01:02:05,109Go and bathe. It will do you good.Then all come back for some tea

56201:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,440- Do you really want this bathe?- Yes, I've said so

56301:02:18,817 --> 01:02:20,869Bye, Emerson

56401:02:22,747 --> 01:02:28,275Bring some milk and honeyand¡ er, cakes. Cakes!

56501:02:28,488 --> 01:02:32,521Yours is glorious country, Honeychurch!

56601:02:33,811 --> 01:02:38,116As a matter of fact,coincidence is much rarer than we suppose

56701:02:38,333 --> 01:02:44,168For example, on reflection,it's not coincidental that you're here now

56801:02:44,384 --> 01:02:47,824I have reflected. It's fate. Everything is fate

56901:02:48,038 --> 01:02:51,441You've not reflected.Let me cross-examine you

57001:02:51,655 --> 01:02:54,751

Where did you meet Mr. Vyse?

57101:02:54,960 --> 01:02:59,230- The National Gallery.- Looking at Italian art

57201:02:59,447 --> 01:03:02,508You see? You talk of coincidence and fate

57301:03:02,719 --> 01:03:08,068You're naturally drawn to things Italian,as are we and all our friends

57401:03:08,283 --> 01:03:11,237That narrows the field immeasurably

57501:03:11,449 --> 01:03:15,576It is fate, but call it Italyif it pleases you, Vicar

57601:03:38,201 --> 01:03:41,533Are you bathing, Mr. Beebe?

57701:03:41,748 --> 01:03:44,938- Don't be shy!- Why not?

57801:03:45,157 --> 01:03:48,739Oh, it's wonderful! Simply ripping

57901:03:51,559 --> 01:03:53,610Hurry up, Emerson!

58001:03:55,314 --> 01:03:59,134- Come along, Mr. Beebe!- I may as well wash, too

58101:04:11,385 --> 01:04:13,603Here goes

58201:04:57,687 --> 01:04:59,739Race you round it!

58701:06:11,016 --> 01:06:12,676Graces alive!

58801:06:17,348 --> 01:06:23,112- Come this way immediately!- Who were those unfortunate people?

58901:06:23,331 --> 01:06:26,735This way, Mrs. Honeychurch. Follow me

59001:06:31,716 --> 01:06:34,348Oh, dears. Look away!

59101:06:36,307 --> 01:06:39,082Poor Mr. Beebe, too!

59201:06:39,297 --> 01:06:41,480You're treading on me!

59301:06:41,699 --> 01:06:47,570It is you! Why not have a comfortable bathat home with hot and cold laid on?

59401:06:47,787 --> 01:06:52,342- Mother!- You're in no position to argue. Come, Lucy

59501:06:52,553 --> 01:06:57,273Oh, look! No, don't look! Poor Mr. Beebe!

59701:07:07,162 --> 01:07:09,213Poor, poor Charlotte!

59801:07:09,424 --> 01:07:13,171Standard reaction to any letter

from Cousin Charlotte

59901:07:13,390 --> 01:07:15,607Poor, poor Charlotte!

60001:07:15,823 --> 01:07:18,397This is serious

60101:07:18,606 --> 01:07:23,957Her boiler is to be had out and the cisterncleaned and all kinds of to-doing

60201:07:24,173 --> 01:07:30,911I think we should ask her to stay.Give her a holiday while the plumbers finish

60301:07:31,130 --> 01:07:35,649No! We're squeezed to deathwith Freddy's friend and Minnie Beebe

60401:07:36,661 --> 01:07:38,808Freddy, must you?

60501:07:39,028 --> 01:07:42,466The truth is, you don't like Charlotte

60601:07:42,679 --> 01:07:45,776Well, she gets on my nerves

60701:07:45,985 --> 01:07:49,696The time she met Cecil,she drove him quite frantic

60801:07:49,916 --> 01:07:56,652So, please, don't worry us this last summer.Spoil us by not asking her to come

60901:07:56,872 --> 01:08:00,476Hear, hear. We vote no Miss Bartlett

61001:08:02,751 --> 01:08:08,908This isn't very kind of you two.You have each other and poor Charlotte¡

61301:08:23,763 --> 01:08:28,104Blow the spirit-stirring harp like anything

61401:08:32,702 --> 01:08:35,549Let the piano's martial blast

61501:08:35,764 --> 01:08:38,016Rouse the echoes of the past

61601:08:44,356 --> 01:08:47,689They played their next sonata, let me see

61701:08:47,904 --> 01:08:51,414Medulla oblongata, key of G¡

61801:08:51,661 --> 01:08:54,057However, we're in E flat

61901:08:57,121 --> 01:09:00,835- Wasn't it any good?- It's lovely, dear

62001:09:02,027 --> 01:09:03,616Then they began to sing

62101:09:03,836 --> 01:09:06,338That extremely lovely thing

62201:09:06,549 --> 01:09:09,811Scherzando ma non troppo, P, P, P

62301:09:10,028 --> 01:09:13,633Scherzando ma non troppo, P, P, P

62401:09:24,501 --> 01:09:27,595Is anything the matter with Cecil?

62501:09:29,057 --> 01:09:33,433Because otherwise, I cannot account for him

62601:09:33,648 --> 01:09:36,245Whenever I speak, he winces

62701:09:36,465 --> 01:09:39,658I see him, Lucy. It's useless to contradict me

62801:09:40,118 --> 01:09:47,378No doubt, I am not artisticnor literary nor intellectual

62901:09:47,598 --> 01:09:53,790Your father bought the drawing roomfurniture, and we must put up with it

63001:09:53,998 --> 01:09:56,738Cecil doesn't mean to be uncivil

63101:09:56,956 --> 01:10:02,720He explained. It's ugly thingsthat upset him. He's not uncivil to people

63201:10:02,939 --> 01:10:06,272Is it a thing or a person when Freddy sings?

63301:10:06,487 --> 01:10:11,765You can't expect a really musical personto appreciate comic songs as we do

63401:10:11,983 --> 01:10:15,493Must he sneer and spoil everyone's pleasure?

63501:10:16,610 --> 01:10:20,155- Go and dress, dear.- All right, Mother

63601:10:33,690 --> 01:10:38,696Sunday week, I want to askGeorge Emerson up for some tennis

63701:10:38,908 --> 01:10:43,248- Oh, no, Freddy¡- Oh, he's topping. He's spiffing!

63801:10:43,569 --> 01:10:46,200George Emerson is simply ripping!

63901:11:02,249 --> 01:11:06,377What a noise you're making.Freddy, let Lucy go

640

01:11:08,058 --> 01:11:10,111Hook me behind

64101:11:20,930 --> 01:11:22,981Need we have Charlotte?

64201:11:23,191 --> 01:11:25,243We needn't

64301:11:26,982 --> 01:11:31,253- And now Freddy wants to ask the Emersons.- Well, he needn't

64401:11:33,835 --> 01:11:36,931And you're not pleased with Cecil

64501:11:39,019 --> 01:11:41,070Kiss me

64601:11:44,028 --> 01:11:51,121Well, of course, if you want Charlotteto come, with her boiler and everything¡

64701:11:51,333 --> 01:11:53,385She's been so kind to me

64801:11:54,742 --> 01:11:56,793Kiss me again

64901:12:08,101 --> 01:12:11,290- Would you like it closed?- Oh, thank you

65001:12:33,146 --> 01:12:35,198- Thank you so much.- Pleasure

65101:12:36,659 --> 01:12:39,720Oh, porter! Could you¡?

65201:12:52,940 --> 01:12:56,450The ticket says Dorking.That was the last station

65301:12:56,662 --> 01:13:00,790How very vexing! I shall have to get a cab

654

01:13:03,619 --> 01:13:06,085Mr. Emerson. What are you doing here?

65501:13:06,298 --> 01:13:10,461My father lives here.I've come for the weekend

65601:13:10,681 --> 01:13:13,705- Are you all right?- Oh, yes

65701:13:56,147 --> 01:13:59,242Oh, Lucy, I met him at the station

65801:13:59,522 --> 01:14:02,616I had no idea. Oh, my poor Lucia!

65901:14:07,070 --> 01:14:12,740My dear Marian, what a stupid blunder.You'll never forgive me

66001:14:12,948 --> 01:14:14,229Oh!

66101:14:14,445 --> 01:14:18,477- Freddy, pay the cab.- No, I must. I absolutely insist

66201:14:18,688 --> 01:14:20,907Oh, how do you do, Mr. Vyse?

66301:14:21,123 --> 01:14:26,235- And Mr. Floyd, a friend of Freddy's.- I insist I pay for my cab

66401:14:26,445 --> 01:14:31,096- And this is Minnie, Mr. Beebe's niece.- Grant me that

66501:14:31,317 --> 01:14:33,712- Here you are.- Thank you, sir

66601:14:40,151 --> 01:14:42,204I insist, absolutely

66701:14:42,413 --> 01:14:45,639All right.

Five shillings and a bob for the driver

66801:14:45,857 --> 01:14:50,898We all have our foibles,and mine is prompt settling of accounts

66901:14:51,561 --> 01:14:54,479Does anyone have any change?

67001:14:58,172 --> 01:15:01,398How much is¡?Who do I give the sovereign to?

67101:15:01,615 --> 01:15:04,247- Toss for it, Honeychurch.- All right

67201:15:04,467 --> 01:15:09,058No. I know I'm a spoilsport,but it would make me wretched

67301:15:09,269 --> 01:15:11,521It would be robbing the one who lost

67401:15:11,739 --> 01:15:18,724Freddy owes me 15 shillings, so it works outall right if you give the pound to me

67501:15:18,939 --> 01:15:21,999Fifteen shillings to you? How so, Mr. Vyse?

67601:15:22,209 --> 01:15:26,929Because fifteenand five shillings make a pound

67701:15:27,147 --> 01:15:30,860Why is Mr. Vyse taking the quid?No, thank you!

67801:15:31,079 --> 01:15:34,554- Have some tea.- What about Mr. Floyd's ten shi¡?

67901:15:34,767 --> 01:15:38,800And why doesn't she pay the bobfor the driver?

68001:15:39,010 --> 01:15:44,252

A shilling for the driver.Of course. How kind of you to remind me

68101:15:45,133 --> 01:15:48,467Does anyone have change for half a crown?

68201:15:48,682 --> 01:15:51,313Cecil, give that sovereign to me

68301:15:51,532 --> 01:15:55,138Mary can change it,and we'll start from the beginning

68401:15:55,361 --> 01:15:59,488Oh, dear. I am sorry. What a nuisance I am!

68501:16:03,744 --> 01:16:05,132Poor Charlotte!

68601:16:09,727 --> 01:16:12,823Mary, have you got any change?

68701:16:13,866 --> 01:16:15,918For a sovereign

68801:16:19,745 --> 01:16:22,176Have you told him about him?

68901:16:22,389 --> 01:16:26,493No, I haven't, nor anyone.I promised you I shouldn't

69001:16:26,703 --> 01:16:31,258Here's your money.It's all shillings except two half crowns

69101:16:31,469 --> 01:16:34,209You can settle your debt nicely now

69201:16:34,426 --> 01:16:40,331How dreadful. How more than dreadfulif Mr. Vyse should hear from another source

69301:16:40,547 --> 01:16:43,394There is no other source

69401:16:43,610 --> 01:16:47,571

- George would tell Mr. Emerson.- He would tell no one

69501:16:47,783 --> 01:16:51,674- How do you know?- Because I know. Shall we go out?

69601:16:51,889 --> 01:16:58,732Dear, a moment. We may not have this chanceagain. Have you spoken to him yet?

69701:16:58,950 --> 01:17:01,003I have seen him

69801:17:03,020 --> 01:17:09,235Stop thinking he admires me or any nonsenseof that sort. He doesn't. Not one straw

69901:17:09,455 --> 01:17:11,922Freddy, stop it!

70001:17:12,134 --> 01:17:16,368No, poor Minnie. No, not me. Get off!

70101:17:36,415 --> 01:17:38,989Lucy! Lucy! What's that book?

70201:17:39,999 --> 01:17:43,259Who's been leaving books out to spoil?

70301:17:43,476 --> 01:17:48,161- It's only a library book of Cecil's.- Well, pick it up

70401:17:57,983 --> 01:18:01,765It's a special collection.I forget what for, but I beg

70501:18:01,983 --> 01:18:05,077no vulgar clinking ha'pennies in the plate

70601:18:05,287 --> 01:18:08,928Make sure Minnie has a sixpence.Where is the child?

70701:18:09,602 --> 01:18:14,606Dear, I'm so sorry, I don't seemto have any small change. Could you¡?

70801:18:14,819 --> 01:18:19,339Yes, easily. Gracious,how smart you look! What a lovely frock

70901:18:22,403 --> 01:18:24,585Go on

71001:18:24,803 --> 01:18:27,057Goodbye. Be good

71101:18:44,527 --> 01:18:49,533'No place on earth as gloriousas this where love is spoken face to face

71201:18:49,745 --> 01:18:55,200So he cried, 'Utter rapture! The silveredtwilight, the wraith-like swallows

71301:18:55,415 --> 01:19:02,222'the perfume of the cooling earth all fill mewith inutterable and inestimable bliss.'

71401:19:02,442 --> 01:19:06,961And so, locked in mortal combat,they brought to life the eternal¡

71501:19:09,678 --> 01:19:14,754They brought to life the eternal battlewhere men stand face to face

71601:19:14,965 --> 01:19:19,520¡°to slowly gird, to bravely fight,to stoutly dare¡¡±

71701:19:20,532 --> 01:19:24,421Listen, Lucy. Three split infinitives

71801:19:24,637 --> 01:19:28,906¡°And then the cry was heard,'Once more into the breach, my friends.¡±'

71901:19:29,123 --> 01:19:30,997Victory, Mr. Floyd!

72001:19:33,019 --> 01:19:39,234¡°The scene is set in Florence.The sunset. The sunset of Italy.¡±

72101:19:40,046 --> 01:19:42,999- Did you mind losing?- Of course

72201:19:43,212 --> 01:19:48,180You're not such a splendid player.The light was in my eyes

72301:19:48,394 --> 01:19:50,790I never said I was

72401:19:51,003 --> 01:19:56,875¡°Under Orcagna's Loggia -the Loggia de Lanzi, as we call it now¡¡±

72501:19:57,092 --> 01:19:59,143What's the title?

72601:19:59,352 --> 01:20:03,420- ¡°Under a Loggia¡± by Eleanor Lavish.- Eleanor Lavish!

72701:20:03,631 --> 01:20:06,893My goodness!Do you remember her, Mr. Emerson?

72801:20:07,109 --> 01:20:10,477- Of course.- No wonder the novel's so bad

72901:20:10,692 --> 01:20:13,610Still, one ought to read it, I suppose

73001:20:13,824 --> 01:20:18,970- There's an absurd account of a view.- Do read it

73101:20:19,180 --> 01:20:21,576Do you like our view, Mr. Emerson?

73201:20:21,790 --> 01:20:24,779My father says there's only one perfect view -

73301:20:24,991 --> 01:20:29,024the view of the sky over our heads

734

01:20:29,233 --> 01:20:32,330I expect your father has been reading Dante

73501:20:33,755 --> 01:20:37,884- Do read it.- Not while Mr. Emerson is entertaining us

73601:20:38,105 --> 01:20:42,790No, do. Nothing's funnierthan silly things read aloud

73701:20:43,009 --> 01:20:47,387Mr. Emerson finds us frivolous.Look for tennis balls, Mr. Emerson

73801:20:47,602 --> 01:20:50,756- Do I have to?- No, of course not

73901:20:50,976 --> 01:20:54,072It's in chapter two. Find me chapter two

74001:21:04,230 --> 01:21:07,348- Give it here.- No, it's the silliest thing

74101:21:07,568 --> 01:21:08,920Come on

74201:21:09,134 --> 01:21:11,459- Cecil!- Thank you

74301:21:12,857 --> 01:21:14,729A-ha

74401:21:14,943 --> 01:21:17,897Afar off, the towers of Florence

74501:21:18,110 --> 01:21:23,008And she wandered as though in a dreamthrough the wavering sea of barley

74601:21:23,223 --> 01:21:26,211touched with crimson stains of poppies

74701:21:27,745 --> 01:21:31,422¡°All unobserved, he came to her.¡±

Isn't it immortal?

74801:21:31,641 --> 01:21:37,582There came from his lips no wordyprotestations such as formal lovers use

74901:21:37,797 --> 01:21:44,605¡°No eloquence was his, nor did he need it.He simply enfolded her in his manly arms¡¡±

75001:21:44,825 --> 01:21:47,398No, this isn't the bit. It's further on

75101:21:47,643 --> 01:21:51,248- Shall we go in to tea?- By all means tea is rather than ¡.

75201:22:15,821 --> 01:22:17,872Excuse me

75301:22:25,908 --> 01:22:27,960Charlotte, a minute

75401:22:28,026 --> 01:22:32,438Cecil, ask Mary for sandwiches.I'll be with you in a moment

75501:22:34,496 --> 01:22:37,377Do you know Miss Lavish's novel?

75601:22:37,591 --> 01:22:43,807There's a scene in it - the hero and heroinemake love. Do you know about that?

75701:22:44,759 --> 01:22:46,975Do you know about it?

75801:22:47,194 --> 01:22:51,011They're on a hillsideand Florence is in the distance

75901:22:51,228 --> 01:22:53,801There are poppies and a barley field

76001:22:55,333 --> 01:22:58,879It can't be coincidence.How could you tell her?!

76101:22:59,090 --> 01:23:04,261Oh, Lucy! Oh, dearest girl!She hasn't put that in her novel?

76201:23:08,378 --> 01:23:13,170Never, never moreshall Eleanor Lavish be a friend of mine

76301:23:13,387 --> 01:23:17,621So you did tell. Why?!When you wouldn't even let me tell Mother?

76401:23:22,398 --> 01:23:24,650Cecil read it to me

76501:23:24,901 --> 01:23:28,649And that man insulted me againbehind Cecil's back

76601:23:29,981 --> 01:23:34,321Why did you tell her? What made you?!

76701:23:36,172 --> 01:23:40,893Even if you forgive me, I shall neverforgive myself¡ till my dying day

76801:23:46,642 --> 01:23:49,003Go and call him

76901:23:49,461 --> 01:23:53,101- Call Mr. Vyse?- No. The other one

77001:23:55,165 --> 01:23:57,039I'll deal with him myself

77101:24:06,366 --> 01:24:09,284You missed a good match, Miss Bartlett

77201:24:24,874 --> 01:24:27,969Charlotte, please stay

77301:24:28,178 --> 01:24:32,864Mr. Emerson, leave this houseand don't come back as long as I'm here

77401:24:33,083 --> 01:24:35,965

- I can't.- No discussion

77501:24:37,258 --> 01:24:40,483Go, please.I don't want to call in Mr. Vyse

77601:24:42,406 --> 01:24:44,457You mean to marry that man?

77701:24:44,666 --> 01:24:51,724- You're being ridiculous.- I'd have held back if Cecil was different

77801:24:51,937 --> 01:24:56,693But he's the sort who can't knowanyone intimately, least of all a woman

77901:24:56,913 --> 01:25:00,280He doesn't know what a woman is

78001:25:00,494 --> 01:25:06,260He wants you for a possession,to look at like a painting or an ivory box

78101:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,324Something to own and to display

78201:25:09,539 --> 01:25:15,066He doesn't want you to be real,to think and to live. He doesn't love you

78301:25:15,279 --> 01:25:19,549But I love you. I want youto have your own thoughts and ideas

78401:25:19,767 --> 01:25:22,339even when I hold you in my arms

78501:25:22,516 --> 01:25:27,414Miss Bartlett, you wouldn't stop us,not if you understood

78601:25:27,628 --> 01:25:29,681It's our last chance

78701:25:32,116 --> 01:25:36,942Do you understand how lucky people are

to find what's right for them?

78801:25:37,159 --> 01:25:39,554It's such a blessing, don't you see?

78901:25:39,768 --> 01:25:46,056And the fact I love Cecil and shall behis wife shortly is of no importance?

79001:25:46,273 --> 01:25:50,579This tremendous thing has happenedbetween us and it means¡

79101:25:50,796 --> 01:25:53,678it means nothing must hinder us ever again

79201:25:54,413 --> 01:25:57,224You have to understand that

79301:25:58,309 --> 01:26:02,686- I've no idea what you mean.- Everyone must understand

79401:26:02,901 --> 01:26:05,082And you must leave

79501:26:06,450 --> 01:26:09,675It was wrong of me to listen to you

79601:26:09,894 --> 01:26:14,340But you haven't been listening.If you had, you would know!

79701:26:14,554 --> 01:26:16,607- Leave at once. Now.- Lucy¡

79801:26:16,817 --> 01:26:21,642- No, I will not listen to one more word.- My dears, do stop

79901:26:21,859 --> 01:26:25,988Haven't you done enough?Don't interfere again

80001:26:26,209 --> 01:26:31,416- It's useless. Let me go, Miss Bartlett.- Let Mr. Emerson go, Charlotte

80101:26:39,463 --> 01:26:42,902- I shall never forgive myself.- You always say that

80201:26:43,113 --> 01:26:45,616but you always do forgive yourself

80301:26:53,446 --> 01:26:58,236Why does Italy make lady novelistsreach such summits of absurdity?

80401:26:59,082 --> 01:27:02,071Lucy, it's still light enough for another set

80501:27:02,838 --> 01:27:05,958- Mr. Emerson has had to go.- What a nuisance

80601:27:07,048 --> 01:27:13,062I say, Cecil, do play, there's a good chap.Just this once. It's Floyd's last day

80701:27:14,525 --> 01:27:20,683Freddy, as you remarked this morning,some chaps are good for nothing but books

80801:27:20,893 --> 01:27:23,597I plead guilty to being such a chap

80901:27:37,313 --> 01:27:39,910Because I wouldn't play tennis?

81001:27:43,226 --> 01:27:46,594I never do play tennis. I never could

81101:27:46,809 --> 01:27:49,477Forget tennis. It was just the last straw

81201:27:50,705 --> 01:27:55,260I'm sorry, I can't marry you.One day you'll be glad I said so

81301:27:55,471 --> 01:27:58,875- We're too different.- But I¡

814

01:28:00,271 --> 01:28:02,453I love you

81501:28:04,098 --> 01:28:08,059And¡ I did think you loved me

81601:28:08,272 --> 01:28:10,324I did not

81701:28:12,064 --> 01:28:16,297I thought I did at first. I'm sorry

81801:28:19,056 --> 01:28:22,734As for your loving me, you don't, not really

81901:28:24,588 --> 01:28:27,706You don't. It's only as something else

82001:28:27,926 --> 01:28:33,347As something you own. A painting, a Leonardo

82101:28:33,561 --> 01:28:37,167I don't want to be a Leonardo,I want to be myself

82201:28:39,058 --> 01:28:41,418Oh, let's not go on now

82301:28:41,632 --> 01:28:45,416I'll only say thingsthat will make me unhappy afterwards

82401:29:03,339 --> 01:29:07,016You don't love me, evidently

82501:29:07,234 --> 01:29:09,382I dare say you're right not to¡

82601:29:11,341 --> 01:29:15,681¡but it would help a little,hurt a little less, if I knew why

82701:29:17,671 --> 01:29:19,723Because¡

82801:29:21,531 --> 01:29:25,731¡you can't know anyone intimately,

least of all a woman

82901:29:25,951 --> 01:29:30,849I don't mean exactly that,but you will go on asking questions

83001:29:32,177 --> 01:29:35,403You wrap yourself up in art,and want to wrap me up

83101:29:35,621 --> 01:29:37,672so I'm breaking it off

83201:29:39,414 --> 01:29:41,465It's true

83301:29:42,752 --> 01:29:44,804True, on the whole

83401:29:46,370 --> 01:29:52,134You're so different tonight, like a differentperson speaking with a new voice

83501:29:52,352 --> 01:29:58,189What do you mean? If you thinkI love someone else, you're mistaken

83601:29:58,407 --> 01:30:00,873Of course I don't. I only meant that¡

83701:30:01,085 --> 01:30:06,126there was a¡ force in youI hadn't known of up to now

83801:30:08,181 --> 01:30:13,709If a girl breaks off her engagement,everyone thinks, ¡°Oh, she has someone else.¡±

83901:30:14,617 --> 01:30:17,012It's disgusting, brutal!

84001:30:18,233 --> 01:30:22,753Forgive me if I say stupid things.My brain has gone to pieces

84101:30:22,965 --> 01:30:27,094I think we'd better go to bed, if you don't mind

84201:30:35,141 --> 01:30:37,359Let me do that for you

84301:30:42,794 --> 01:30:46,921I must actually thank you for what you've done

84401:30:49,856 --> 01:30:52,950For showing me what I really am

84501:31:04,500 --> 01:31:06,552I admire your courage

84601:31:11,353 --> 01:31:13,678Will you shake hands?

84701:31:13,892 --> 01:31:16,038Of course I will, Cecil

84801:31:17,825 --> 01:31:19,176Goodnight

84901:31:19,389 --> 01:31:21,641I'm sorry about it

85001:31:24,921 --> 01:31:28,016Thank you for taking it so well

85101:32:00,089 --> 01:32:04,988Since the days are chillier nowand we've not, alas, a home of our own

85201:32:05,203 --> 01:32:09,615my sister feels we might benefitby travel to a warmer clime

85301:32:09,829 --> 01:32:15,356The doctor has ordered her special bread,but we can take that with us

85401:32:15,569 --> 01:32:20,018It is only getting first into a steamerand then a train

85501:32:23,883 --> 01:32:27,737- Hello. So you're off, Mr. Vyse?- Yes

85601:32:27,952 --> 01:32:34,870I've come to show Miss Honeychurcha letter from our friends the Miss Alans

85701:32:35,085 --> 01:32:42,307¡°Since Florence did my sister so much good,we think we should try Athens this winter.¡±

85801:32:42,529 --> 01:32:47,700Isn't it wonderful?The Parthenon, the frieze of Phydias

85901:32:47,921 --> 01:32:50,910- Have you ever met these Miss Alans?- Never

86001:32:51,122 --> 01:32:55,082Then you cannot appreciatethe romance of this visit

86101:32:55,295 --> 01:32:58,520I've never been myself,nor do I have any plans to go

86201:32:58,740 --> 01:33:04,195Altogether too big for our little lot,don't you agree? Got any matches?

86301:33:04,408 --> 01:33:06,520Thank you

86401:33:06,740 --> 01:33:10,903You're quite right.Greece is not for our little lot

86501:33:11,122 --> 01:33:12,783- Goodbye.- Goodbye

86601:33:21,837 --> 01:33:24,434Mr. Beebe! Matches!

86701:33:25,907 --> 01:33:27,959Matches!

86801:33:29,803 --> 01:33:32,269Cecil's hard hit. Lucy won't marry him

86901:33:32,481 --> 01:33:35,578- When?- Late last night. I must go

87001:33:35,787 --> 01:33:38,811- Will they want me to go down?- Yes. Goodbye

87101:33:44,448 --> 01:33:46,501All right, Powell

87201:33:54,676 --> 01:33:59,194No, Charlotte.Not the scissors, not when my hands are full

87301:33:59,407 --> 01:34:02,395- Good afternoon.- How do you do, Mr. Beebe?

87401:34:02,608 --> 01:34:05,868- Good gracious! What a mess things are!- Yes

87501:34:06,085 --> 01:34:10,736Everyone's so horrid today, Uncle Arthur.Let's go out to tea

87601:34:10,957 --> 01:34:15,582Good idea. Get your hat and coatand I'll take you

87701:34:15,791 --> 01:34:20,689I'll take Minnie to the Beehive Tavern.Care to join us, Miss Bartlett?

87801:34:20,904 --> 01:34:23,502Oh, yes, Charlotte! I don't mind

87901:34:23,722 --> 01:34:28,027No. You have no one to help.My services are better than nothing

88001:34:30,506 --> 01:34:33,732Oh, dear, Marian. I'm so sorry

88101:34:44,976 --> 01:34:51,477A delightful letter from the Miss Alans.They're going to Greece. I'll read you some

88201:34:56,352 --> 01:35:01,286Dear Mr. Beebe, I doubt we shall goany further than Athens

88301:35:01,500 --> 01:35:07,752¡°but, if you know of a good pensionein Constantinople, we should be so grateful.¡±

88401:35:08,979 --> 01:35:14,708Isn't that delightful? I do believethey'll end by going round the world

88501:35:14,928 --> 01:35:16,386Delightful

88601:35:19,277 --> 01:35:23,403Miss Honeychurch, your brother has told me

88701:35:25,746 --> 01:35:29,352- Did he?- I needn't say it will go no further

88801:35:29,573 --> 01:35:36,832Mother¡ Charlotte¡ Cecil¡ Freddy¡ you¡

88901:35:38,722 --> 01:35:42,827If I may say so,I'm certain you've done the right thing

89001:35:43,035 --> 01:35:47,198Tell me more of the Miss Alans.How splendid of them to go abroad

89101:35:47,419 --> 01:35:53,919I want them to start from Venice and thengo by cargo steamer down the Illyrian coast

89201:35:54,619 --> 01:35:58,926- Did Freddy say he'd drive straight back?- No, he didn't

89301:35:59,143 --> 01:36:01,253I hope he won't gossip

89401:36:01,473 --> 01:36:05,256How splendid of them to go.I wish they'd take me

89501:36:05,473 --> 01:36:07,524Would your mother spare you?

89601:36:07,734 --> 01:36:10,509She must. I simply must go away

89701:36:10,725 --> 01:36:13,680I have to. Don't you see I have to go away?

89801:36:13,892 --> 01:36:17,531Charlotte, the Miss Alansare going to Constantinople

89901:36:17,752 --> 01:36:19,804No, only to Athens

90001:36:20,153 --> 01:36:23,628I've longed to go to Constantinople¡Athens, I mean

90101:36:23,839 --> 01:36:28,845In lieu of Constantinople,could not we lure you to tea at the Beehive?

90201:36:29,058 --> 01:36:34,477- No, thank you.- Oh, well, Minnie, you and I must eat alone

90301:36:34,693 --> 01:36:37,883- Good afternoon.- Good afternoon, Mr. Beebe

90401:36:44,434 --> 01:36:47,007- You must persuade Mother.- What?

90501:36:47,217 --> 01:36:51,344Don't you see? I must go somewhere. Anywhere!

90601:36:52,469 --> 01:36:55,280I must get away, far, before it's known

90701:36:55,497 --> 01:36:58,900- What?- That I've broken off my engagement

908

01:36:59,113 --> 01:37:03,419- He mustn't get any ideas.- You mean Mr. Emerson?

90901:37:03,637 --> 01:37:05,782Charlotte, how slow you are

91001:37:06,001 --> 01:37:10,593There must be no gossipat Summer Street, but to go as far as Greece!

91101:37:10,802 --> 01:37:16,779I thought you'd be the first to go to Motherand say Lucy must go to Greece

91201:37:16,994 --> 01:37:21,585Lucy, are you absolutely sure?I only want to do what is right for you

91301:37:21,793 --> 01:37:25,614I'm telling you what's right.Don't argue, do it!

91401:37:25,831 --> 01:37:27,880All right

91501:37:29,796 --> 01:37:31,847Thank you, Freddy

91601:37:34,595 --> 01:37:36,813Why does she look like that?

91701:37:37,030 --> 01:37:41,028- Like what?- Like Charlotte Bartlett

91801:37:41,240 --> 01:37:45,366Because¡ she is Charlotte Bartlett

91901:37:46,771 --> 01:37:55,075Stop thine ear against the singer

92001:37:56,303 --> 01:38:04,606From the red gold, keep thy finger

92101:38:04,825 --> 01:38:07,742The tune's fine, but the words are rotten

92201:38:10,704 --> 01:38:12,757- Marian?- Oh, Charlotte!

92301:38:12,966 --> 01:38:17,236- Lucy has a plan.- Isn't this a tragedy?

92401:38:17,453 --> 01:38:21,058I get one thing tied upand another thing falls over

92501:38:21,279 --> 01:38:25,834- The Misses Alan are going to Greece.- Good luck to them

92601:38:26,045 --> 01:38:29,628Lucy would like to join themas far as Athens

92701:38:29,837 --> 01:38:35,292- She'd what?!- And on to Delphi if the roads are safe

92801:38:36,342 --> 01:38:41,097Vacant heart and hand and eye

92901:38:41,317 --> 01:38:46,179Easy live and quiet die

93001:38:46,396 --> 01:38:50,879Vacant heart and hand and eye

93101:38:51,093 --> 01:38:57,212Easy live and quiet die

93201:39:10,467 --> 01:39:16,102You can take all those, but leave me Thoreautill I go. I need him by me now

93301:39:18,119 --> 01:39:21,275It's an ugly house. We never liked it

93401:39:26,330 --> 01:39:30,363I mustn't miss the train.The removers can do the rest

935

01:39:30,574 --> 01:39:31,854Oh, I¡

93601:39:32,070 --> 01:39:35,924No. I don't want you straining your back

93701:39:37,183 --> 01:39:41,251I won't be down at the weekend.There's no point

93801:39:42,331 --> 01:39:46,459I'll come to take you back to townthe week after

93901:40:16,178 --> 01:40:21,563Paper soap is a great help towardsfreshening up one's face on a train

94001:40:21,778 --> 01:40:27,343But you know about these matters,and you have Mr. Vyse to help you

94101:40:27,554 --> 01:40:29,736A gentleman is such a standby

94201:40:29,953 --> 01:40:33,182It's so good of Mr. Vyse to spare you

94301:40:33,851 --> 01:40:36,424Perhaps he will join you later

94401:40:36,634 --> 01:40:41,567- Or does work keep him in London?- We shall meet him when he sees you off

94501:40:41,781 --> 01:40:44,806No one will see Lucy off. She doesn't like it

94601:40:45,015 --> 01:40:47,069Really?

94701:40:47,975 --> 01:40:50,050But, in this case¡

94801:40:50,270 --> 01:40:54,337- You aren't going?- Yes, we've a train to catch

94901:40:54,548 --> 01:40:58,996- It's been such a pleasure to meet you.- We will write you often

95001:40:59,210 --> 01:41:03,314and send pretty cards from every place

95101:41:03,524 --> 01:41:09,394- Thank you so much for taking her.- Bye-bye

95201:41:09,854 --> 01:41:11,905Well, we got through that time

95301:41:12,115 --> 01:41:16,077Yes, and were seen through,which is most unpleasant

95401:41:17,368 --> 01:41:21,294I cannot understandthis hole and corner business

95501:41:21,542 --> 01:41:24,638You got rid of Cecil, well and good

95601:41:25,752 --> 01:41:28,741I'm thankful. Why not announce it?

95701:41:28,953 --> 01:41:33,223- I promised. It's only for a few days.- Victoria Station

95801:41:33,440 --> 01:41:38,895I couldn't help thinkingthat our dear Lucy did not¡ No

95901:41:39,110 --> 01:41:44,186I wish you'd finish your sentences.You're getting worse

96001:41:45,198 --> 01:41:48,636¡did not look like a bride-to-be

96101:41:49,511 --> 01:41:54,860How should one look? Accordingto your great experience in these matters

962

01:41:55,077 --> 01:41:59,181I can't say exactly.Only¡ she lacked something

96301:41:59,390 --> 01:42:05,297And, if you want to know,Teresa, she lacked¡ radiance

96401:42:21,375 --> 01:42:23,428- Miss Bartlett.- Mr. Beebe

96501:42:23,636 --> 01:42:27,419- What is happening to your neighbors?- They're moving

96601:42:27,636 --> 01:42:32,287Old Mr. Emerson's rheumatism is back,and George thinks it's too far

96701:42:32,507 --> 01:42:35,317Mr. Emerson is avoiding the removers inside

96801:42:35,532 --> 01:42:39,211Might I imposeand wait here for Mrs. Honeychurch?

96901:42:39,429 --> 01:42:43,769By all means. I'm afraid you must excuse me

97001:42:46,143 --> 01:42:49,442Mr. Emerson, Miss Bartlett, excuse me

97101:42:49,970 --> 01:42:51,321Oh, please

97201:42:51,534 --> 01:42:55,118I am sorry that the househas brought on your rheumatism

97301:42:55,327 --> 01:42:59,738It's not the rheumatism, it's my boy

97401:42:59,953 --> 01:43:02,350George is so sorry

97501:43:02,563 --> 01:43:07,045I cannot blame him,

but I wish he'd told me about it first

97601:43:07,259 --> 01:43:11,457- He never told you what happened in Italy?- Not a word

97701:43:13,035 --> 01:43:15,915No. Lucy said he wouldn't

97801:43:16,129 --> 01:43:18,182I was only told last Sunday

97901:43:18,390 --> 01:43:21,345- What were you told?- That he loves her

98001:43:24,722 --> 01:43:26,975Won't you sit down?

98101:43:27,192 --> 01:43:29,339I think I hear the carriage

98201:43:29,558 --> 01:43:32,438It would be discourteousto keep my cousin waiting

98301:43:32,652 --> 01:43:34,870There isn't any carriage

98401:43:35,993 --> 01:43:38,246Sit down, my dear

98501:43:46,671 --> 01:43:51,048Everyone's been lying, except George

98601:43:51,264 --> 01:43:55,819And now here's Miss Honeychurchmarrying Mr. Vyse in January¡

98701:43:56,030 --> 01:43:58,663She has broken off her engagement

98801:43:58,882 --> 01:44:03,602It was all donewith great tact and discretion, naturally

98901:44:03,822 --> 01:44:07,534

And, for the time being,we would like to keep it quiet

99001:44:07,752 --> 01:44:13,482There's a time for keeping quietand there's a time for speaking out

99101:44:14,954 --> 01:44:17,977Now, you don't hear any carriage

99201:44:18,188 --> 01:44:22,909Why don't you sit back,make yourself more comfortable? Take this

99301:44:23,128 --> 01:44:25,796There. You look much better

99401:44:26,432 --> 01:44:30,560So¡ she's not marrying Mr. Vyse?

99501:44:33,111 --> 01:44:36,065Why? Why Greece?

99601:44:36,973 --> 01:44:40,791Why rush off to the ends of the earth?

99701:44:41,008 --> 01:44:45,908You're tired of your home.You're tired of Windy Corner

99801:44:46,123 --> 01:44:48,720And you're tired of Freddy and me

99901:44:49,810 --> 01:44:55,717Of course I'm not tired of Windy Corner,but, as we're talking about it

100001:44:55,931 --> 01:44:59,230I shall want to come up to London more

100101:44:59,445 --> 01:45:04,201I might even share a flatfor a little with some other girl

100201:45:04,419 --> 01:45:07,302You see, I come into my money next year

1003

01:45:08,558 --> 01:45:12,830To mess about with typewritersand latchkeys and call it work

100401:45:14,196 --> 01:45:17,041- Perhaps I spoke hastily.- Oh, goodness!

100501:45:17,256 --> 01:45:20,033You remind me of Charlotte Bartlett!

100601:45:20,246 --> 01:45:22,915- Charlotte?!- Charlotte to a T

100701:45:26,787 --> 01:45:30,370I don't know what you mean.We are not the least alike

100801:45:31,240 --> 01:45:35,831- You never used to be.- Can't we have the hood down?

100901:45:44,215 --> 01:45:46,433Can we have the hood down, Powell?

101001:45:57,608 --> 01:45:59,968Powell, is that house to be let again?

101101:46:00,182 --> 01:46:03,551Sir Harry's lookingfor new tenants, I hear, Miss

101201:46:03,765 --> 01:46:06,268What a pity about the Emersons

101301:46:06,480 --> 01:46:10,642Freddy will be so sorry.And, indeed, so am I

101401:46:10,863 --> 01:46:15,025- All right, Powell, stop at the stores.- Yes, ma'am. Walk on

101501:46:16,150 --> 01:46:19,660Such an agreeable family.What a pity

1016

01:46:34,378 --> 01:46:36,739No Charlotte

101701:46:36,952 --> 01:46:39,276Go and see if she's at Mr. Beebe's

101801:46:39,491 --> 01:46:44,497And do hurry, both of you.Mary has her fish pie in

101901:46:46,310 --> 01:46:49,713Did you hear what I said, Lucy?

102001:47:00,327 --> 01:47:02,024Lucy!

102101:47:04,954 --> 01:47:08,287Mr. Emerson says it's all his fault

102201:47:08,503 --> 01:47:10,555I told him to trust to love

102301:47:11,565 --> 01:47:16,712I told him, ¡°George, love and dowhat you will.¡± It's what I taught him

102401:47:17,687 --> 01:47:20,841So you see, it is all my fault

102501:47:21,061 --> 01:47:23,113Where are you going?

102601:47:23,322 --> 01:47:27,320Your mother offeredto fetch me in her carriage

102701:47:27,530 --> 01:47:32,738I have not been brought up to keepanyone waiting, least of all a kind hostess

102801:47:35,950 --> 01:47:38,001And now where's Lucy?

102901:47:38,941 --> 01:47:43,947Get in. If Mary's fish pie spoils,she'll mope till next Friday

1030

01:47:44,159 --> 01:47:46,210- I will sit here.- Nonsense

103101:47:46,420 --> 01:47:51,176- I mustn't inconvenience you.- You know you prefer facing

103201:47:51,395 --> 01:47:57,064I've no wish to even hear your son's namementioned. He has misbehaved from the first

103301:47:59,883 --> 01:48:02,658In fact, he behaved abominably

103401:48:02,875 --> 01:48:07,181Not abominably. He only triedwhen he should not have tried

103501:48:10,249 --> 01:48:14,103No, of course,abominable is too strong a word

103601:48:16,615 --> 01:48:20,683- It's no good discussing this.- George is taking me to London

103701:48:22,007 --> 01:48:26,170He can't bear to be here,and I must be where he is

103801:48:26,495 --> 01:48:32,366He says the thought of¡seeing you or hearing about you¡

103901:48:32,583 --> 01:48:36,543Mr. Emerson, please don't go on my account.I'm going to Greece

104001:48:37,625 --> 01:48:41,136Don't leave your comfortable house.You mustn't!

104101:48:41,348 --> 01:48:43,602Why are you going to Greece?

104201:48:45,314 --> 01:48:48,860Forgive me, but it seems to meyou're in a muddle

104301:48:49,072 --> 01:48:54,004I think the reason you're going to Greeceand you've broken off your engagement -

104401:48:54,219 --> 01:49:00,304Miss Bartlett told me -is that¡ you love George

104501:49:03,611 --> 01:49:06,708All the light's gone out of your pretty face

104601:49:07,961 --> 01:49:10,320Just like it's gone out of George

104701:49:10,534 --> 01:49:15,397I can't bear it,and now I've made you cry. Forgive me

104801:49:15,613 --> 01:49:20,299But I've got to go to Greece now.The ticket's bought and everything

104901:49:20,519 --> 01:49:25,344- It's impossible!- There's only one thing impossible

105001:49:25,561 --> 01:49:28,552That's to love¡ and to part

105101:49:30,050 --> 01:49:32,102Lucy!

105201:49:34,224 --> 01:49:36,276You love George

105301:49:37,111 --> 01:49:41,593You love the boybody and soul, as he loves you

105401:49:41,806 --> 01:49:43,858But of course I do

105501:49:44,382 --> 01:49:46,433What did you all think?

105601:49:47,339 --> 01:49:51,228

- Then¡- No. Mother's calling. I've got to go

105701:49:52,069 --> 01:49:54,122They trust me

105801:49:54,330 --> 01:49:57,485Why should they?When you deceived everyone¡

105901:49:59,548 --> 01:50:01,600¡including yourself

106001:50:05,670 --> 01:50:09,039Charlotte, sit here. Go on, Powell

106101:50:13,497 --> 01:50:17,424- One week Italy, then Greece.- Greece may be cancelled

106201:50:17,637 --> 01:50:19,713- What?!- Do stop!

106301:50:19,932 --> 01:50:23,407- I think Lucy has something to tell us.- Stop the horse!

106401:50:36,979 --> 01:50:40,762Dear Charlotte, after an awful journey

106501:50:40,980 --> 01:50:45,178when our luggage went missing twice,we reached Florence

106601:50:45,397 --> 01:50:49,880You'll be glad to hear thatthe Pensione Bertolini is its dear self

106701:50:50,092 --> 01:50:53,876The Cockney signora still terrorizes the staff

106801:50:54,093 --> 01:50:58,221Her guests are another setof Miss Alans, Miss Lavish, Mr. Beebe

106901:50:58,442 --> 01:51:02,713- and Charlotte and Lucy.

- We were promised rooms with a view

107001:51:02,930 --> 01:51:09,287Hush, we mustn't. First thing tomorrow,I shall have a bone to pick with the signora

107101:51:09,504 --> 01:51:11,829It's so unfair!

107201:51:12,044 --> 01:51:17,048Don't you agree that, on one's first visit toFlorence, one must have a room with a view?

107301:51:17,261 --> 01:51:19,314We have a view

107401:51:35,907 --> 01:51:37,958Kiss me again

107501:51:38,167 --> 01:51:40,908- Again.- I'm reading

107601:51:41,786 --> 01:51:45,225- What are you reading?- It's from Freddy

107701:51:45,439 --> 01:51:47,491What does he say?

107801:51:48,638 --> 01:51:52,766Silly boy, he thinks he's being dignified

107901:51:53,231 --> 01:51:57,258I mean, everybody knewwe were going away in the spring
