warn me but work on me.

Oh, you're so good to me.

What are you reading?

Well, I wanted to look something up.

What?

Henley.

Why?

Well, if you look out that

window, you'll know why.

I always feel like reading

it at this time of the year.

Now, listen.

And it's all the wild spring...

- Wait a minute, is this going to take long.

- No, no it's very short.

And it's all the wild spring

in his chances and dreams.

There's a lift in the blood.

Oh, this gracious and

thirsting and aching unrest.

All life's at the bud.

And my heart, full of April.

Is breaking my breast.

Well, it's May the 9th.

At least that's what I'm

going to write on your check.

Who said anything about a check?

You did:
this gracious and

thirsting and aching unrest.

That can only mean one thing, darling.

New clothes.

Oh, you are clever, aren't you.

On the contrary, you're

the one whose clever.

Ah yes, the spring.

It's a turbulent season, alright.

All the clatter of rebirth.

New nests and young grass.

Ooh, it's powerful stuff.

Yes, and I warned you, my darling.

The older you get the

more powerful it becomes.

A very dangerous time. So you look out.

Darling, I didn't mean a

check. Honestly, I didnt.

I just wanted to ask you if I could use

some of my mushroom money.

I don't allow you to accept

money from other mushrooms.

Here.

Oh, you've put with love

above your signature.

That's alright. I've initialed it.

Oh, here they come.

Laughing and scratching.

Spreading apple cores and

nutshells all over the place.

And little bits of sticky paper.

Now we return to the main hall.

The two mantle pieces that you see.

Are again by Robert Adam.

The table, in the center, is French.

And it has a fine,

inlayed, Italian marble top.

It was given by King Louis XIV.

To a member of the family.

Now, if you follow me,

you'll continue into the west wing.

Now, this is the state bedroom.

The four poster bed was

designed for the house.

And George IV slept in it

when he was Prince of Wales.

The fireplace is by Robert Adam.

Now we come to the Etruscan room.

Yes, I do indeed, Rose.

Yes, and it's so sweet

of you to have them.

Oh, Rose!

I almost forgot.

There's a hate on against milk puddings.

Mmm hmm. Yes.

Alright, dear. Goo...

Yea...

Yea...

Yes, Ro...

Mmm hmm. Yes, Rose. Goodbye, dear.

I'm sorry.

I seemed to have intruded.

Yes you have, haven't you.

Well, uh...

I was making the tour of the house and I

got kind of absorbed in this little book.

Should have gone on

down the corridor I guess

but I made a mistake

and took the wrong turn.

Well, I don't call entering a door

marked private making a mistake

I call that trespassing.

You gonna prosecute me?
