Love & Friendship Page #3
Reginald, may I present
Frederick Vernon's widow
Lady Susan and her
friend Mrs. Cross?
Delighted to make your acquaintance.
I'm afraid the allusion escapes me.
Your reputation
as an ornament to our society.
Oh, what you say surprises me.
Since the great sadness
of my husband's death,
I've lived in nearly perfect isolation.
To better know his family and to
further remove myself from society,
I came to Churchill,
not to make new acquaintances
of frivolous sort,
but of course I'm pleased
to know my sister's relations.

Mrs. Cross:
I take it you are findingMr. DeCourcy's society more pleasurable.
To some degree.
At first, his conversation
betrayed a sauciness and familiarity
which is my aversion,
but since I've found
When I've inspired him
with greater respect
than his sister's kind
offices have allowed,
- he might in fact be an agreeable flirt.
- He's handsome, isn't he?
In a cough-like way...
not like Manwaring, of course,
but there's a certain pleasure in
making a person predetermined to dislike
instead acknowledge one's superiority.
How delightful it will be to humble
the pride of these pompous DeCourcys.
A letter for you, my dear.
- Letter?
- Yes, from Catherine.
I hope she'll arrive soon.
The season's cheerless
without children.
Well?
I'm afraid this cold
has affected my eyes.
Save your eyes, my dear.
I'll read for you.
- No, it's all right.
- No, I just...
Here. Uh...
Let's see.
Mm.
Catherine hopes you are well
and asks most particularly
that you give me her love.
Yes, and?
Uh...
Oh, Reginald has decided to stay
at Churchill to hunt with Charles.
He cites the fine open weather. What
nonsense. The weather's not open at all.
Well, maybe it is there, or it was when
she wrote. My dear, could you just read?
- Verbatim?
- Yes, the words.
Some of Catherine's
voice will be in them.
Well, I'll read every word, comma,
and dash if that's what you wish.
Here...
Just the words, please.
No punctuation at all?
All right. That's much easier.
- Lady Susan?
- Yes, she has been visiting Churchill.
- Lady Susan Vernon?
- Yes.
Well, how could Reginald engage in
conversations with Lady Susan Vernon?
Conversations which are...
What would they talk about?
My eyes have definitely cleared.
I can read it. Don't trouble yourself.
No, no. If my son and heir's involved
with such a lady, I must trouble myself.
[clock chimes]
- Well, I must go.
- No. I'll write.
No, no.
If this is happening, there's no time.
Thank you.
- Father.
- Reginald.
How extraordinary for you to be here.
