But there will 302 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:11.840 be a contest. 303 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.799 Think of it, Tessaman, There'll be a kind of sporting 304 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.519 interest in that. 305 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.039 How can you be so indifferent? 306 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.360 Oh, I'm not at all indifferent.

I suppose I mustn't think of that. 328 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:26.320 I well, I shall

have one thing to kill time. 329 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.080 With at least, thank Heaven for that. 330 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:29.200 But is it head? 331 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:30.399 Eh? 332 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:35.360 My pistols, George pistols, general gabblers, pistols. 333 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:54.919 If I can't do anything else, at least I can shoot. 334 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.279 That's what you get for sneaking in the back way. 335 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.480 So you're here again, Judd, as you see. 336 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:08.279 For Heaven's sakes, put away that pistol. Er, that's Tesmon. 337 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.519 He went out. He won't be back for some time. 338 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.440 Well, then I shan't be impatient. Come, my dear, let 339 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.000 us sit down and have a little chat. And oh, 340 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.320 I've wished you home again. And I really m I 341 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.799 thought you were enjoying your trip. Tesmond's letters were full 342 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.279 of nothing but happiness. 343 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.360 Oh, Tessamon, he was happy. 344 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.399 He did nothing all day every day but grub among 345 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.320 old old books and papers on his special subjects. He 346 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.240 was forever saying, you don't mean you were or bored 347 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.240 to death. Specialists, my dear judge, are not at all amusing. 348 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.200 To travel with hmmm, not even the specialist. One happens 349 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.799 to love. 350 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.000 Love, don't use that sickening word. 351 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.639 But what are you saying, miss head it you don't 352 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.440 love Tesmon? Why else did you marry him? 353 00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:58.799 Oh? What's so wonderful about that? 354 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.039 I had positively danced myself tired, my dear judge, And 355 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:08.240 I don't see anything absolutely ridiculous about Tessmon, do you Why? 356 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:10.200 No? I shouldn't say so. 357 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.759 Well, then, and since he was so bent on providing 358 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.519 for me, why shouldn't I have accepted him? 359 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.000 Well, if you look at it in that life. But 360 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.400 in this case, it would seem that perhaps you might 361 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:27.640 feel the need of someone ah as to that uh, 362 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.880 trusted sympathetic friend. 363 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:35.359 That with a fund of conversation on all sorts of subjects. 364 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:39.480 Yes, and not very least bit of a specialist. 365 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.920 Yes, yes, it would be a relief. 366 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.079 Still, I I should think you'd be happy with Tesman. 367 00:17:48.599

--> 00:17:50.400 Among other things. You have the home news that you 368 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:50.880 heard on. 369 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.519 Do you believe in that fable? 370 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:53.839 Too? 371 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.279 Fable? You mean you didn't want this house? 372 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.119 Heaven knows, I didn't. I hate the place. Once to 373 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.680 make a conversation with Testamon, I happen to say, I 374 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.000 should like to live here. That was our bond of sympathy, 375 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.279 Testamon's and mine. Out of that came our engagement, our marriage, 376 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.319 to our wedding trip and all. 377 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.359 The rest of it. Me like this place. 378 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.359 It smells of dried rose leaves. 379 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:19.880 Well, perhaps, Missheader, you'll feel differently in a little time. 380 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.200 Why should I. 381 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.720 Supposing that what people call in elegant language the solemn 382 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.279 responsibility were to come on you the new responsibility, Miss. 383 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:33.039 Header, be quiet? That will never happen. 384 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.039 You'll speak of it again in a year the very most. 385 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.960 No, I tell you, the very idea is too disgusting. 386 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.279 I tell you it will never happen. 387 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.359 Header, be quiet? Is your husband? 388 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.640 Yes, my husband, the professor? 389 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.799 Oh cow do you do? 390 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.960 Judge back, Testamon, Header, has any message come from my 391 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.359 lit love? 392 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:53.160 For not yet? 393 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.400 He'll be here, I'm sure of it. I'd like to 394 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.640 wait for him as long as possible, Judge, If it 395 00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.920 won't you lay you for your party? 396 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.160 No, not at all. I trust Loveborg will be my 397 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.759 guest also. 398 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.720 Or he could stay here with me with you, I say, 399 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.920 would be quite proper. 400 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.599 Oh, missus, Elvestead is coming. We shan't be alone, Testament. 401 00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:13.079 That would perhaps be best Missus Tesmond used to say 402 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.799 of my bachelor parties that they were fit only for 403 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.079 men of the strictest principles. 404 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.000 No doubt Loveborg's principles is strict enough. 405 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:24.400 Now what is it better? 406 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.039 There's a mister Loveborg man inquiring. 407 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:31.720 If you are at home, well, well show him

Well, while he 661 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:14.920 was reading, a horrible feeling came over me. I positively 662 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.079 envied him for being able to write such a thing. 663 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:19.039 Fancy that is it? 664 00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:19.759 So fine? 665 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:24.720 Fine? Header, it is inspired.

Oh go on, Well, we left 674 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.720 blocks together, a group of us. We meant to take 675 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.640 ile at home. He was walking ahead, and I happened 676 00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.559 to drop back a little. Yes, you must never speak 677 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:02.440 of it to a soul, Header ever. Fancy dear, lying 678 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.559 in the road, I found this. 679 00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:08.799 Well, that's the parcel he had with him yesterday. 680 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:11.799 It is the whole of his precious, irreplaceable manuscript.

Fancy that, 688 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:30.720 then I must take it to him at once, to 689 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.200 his lodging. 690 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:33.519 Don't be in a hurry.
