The Painted Veil Page #2
...from which there is no escape.
And so she weeps.
She weeps for the lively,
vivacious girl she once was...
...the Ionely woman she has become...
...and most of all, she weeps
for the love she'll never feel...
...for the love she'll never give.
Is that really what she's saying?
Actually, I haven't a clue
what she's on about.
I don't speak Chinese.
What was that?
Perhaps it was the amah--
They've gone.
- He heard us.
- Who?
Walter.
Walter. What if it was?
- For all he knows, you were taking a nap.
- With my doors locked?
Kitty, dear, you need a drink.
Even if it was,
my impression is he'll do nothing.
That's flattering.
He knows as well as anyone there's
nothing to be gained by making a scandal.
Has it occurred to you
that my husband is in love with me?
I have a feeling you're about
to say something awful.
It's just that women are
often under the impression...
...that men are much more
in love with them than they really are.
I wouldn't delude myself for a second
that you were in love with me.
Now there you're wrong.
Do you like your present?
It's good enough.
Charlie?
Do I make you as happy
as you make me?
Of course you do, darling.
- Hassan?
- Yes?
- Who brought this package around?
- Dr. Fane.
- When?
- While you sleeping.
It's nearly midday.
We could stop up here under the trees...
...but I'd like to press on
if it's all right with you.
Certainly my comfort's
of no concern to you.
Right. Then we'll continue.
Charlie Townsend, please.
Charles Townsend.
I need to see you.
Kitty, I can't possibly see you.
I've got a meeting in an hour at the club.
What is it?
I have to go.
What are you doing home?
I'm sorry, there's something
I need to speak with you about.
Actually, I was just about
to take my bath.
I'm afraid it's rather important, darling.
Can't wait.
Sit down.
Do you know a place called Mei-tan-fu?
No.
Well, it-- It was in the papers
the other day.
It's a small town on a tributary
of the Yangtze River, in the interior.
They've had an outbreak
of cholera there.
It's the worst epidemic
anyone's seen in a long time.
The Chinese medical officer has died.
There's a convent of French nuns
trying to run the hospital.
They're doing the best they can,
but people are dropping like flies.
I have volunteered to go
and to take charge.
- Why?
- Because they need a doctor.
But you're not a doctor.
You're a bacteriologist.
I'm an M.D.
The fact that I'm foremost a scientist...
...is actually all to the good in this case.
Won't it be awfully dangerous?
I suppose it might, yes.
Now, Mei-tan-fu is a 10-day journey.
You can go by rail for the first part.
But after that it's carriage, and then
