guest, Lady Amelia Heartwright.

What the H?

I've been so lonely here without

other young women to entertain me.

All day, stuck with these men.

And that is my husband.

Do sit down.

I do hope it will not

rain on us tomorrow.

It would be so lovely to take

a turn around the gardens.

I sure would like you

to turn me upside

down in the garden.

Pardon me?

I think Miss Charming just

means she loves the outdoors.

Right.

Bless.

Do you see something in my eye?

I'm afraid I can't

see in this low light.

Oh, Mr. Nobley.

You really are quite a bloke.

It would appear to be my duty

to gaze into your eyes.

I'm a military man,

I'd never shirk my duty.

Allow me, Miss Charming.

Yes. Yes, there is

something there. Fire.

I say, Miss Charming, you certainly

do live up to your name.

Tally-ho!

I do hope

you all enjoy the food.

Have you lost

your appetite, Mr. Nobley?

Somewhat.

Something on your mind?

Absolutely nothing's

on my mind, thank you.

Prudence, a little bit more of the

peacock pat, when you're ready.

I can't believe

I'm really here.

Jane.

Yeah?

Why don't you try out

some of that fancy talk?

Mr. Nobley, I hear there is

a ball on our last night.

Do you enjoy dancing?

Not particularly.

Scandalous.

I am sure you have escorted many a

fine lady on to the dance floor.

I would say

that manners maketh man.

I look forward to having the

pleasure of standing opposite you.

But dancing is the true hallmark...

You do?

...of a gentilhomme d'honneur.

Pass the

sheep's eyeballs, will you?

Traditionally, dancing

is a match-making custom.

Oh, yes.

However, it fails

unless both partners

are equally fond of each other.

You could say the same

about any social intercourse.

Intercourse?

Such as talking to someone

or having dinner with them.

Society demands that we engage in a social

intercourse in order to seem courteous.

Yet, in most cases, such

actions are ultimately vulgar.

I really adore conversating.

Do you really believe,

Mr. Nobley,

that you can know the worth

of a person at a glance?

Can you tell me that

within the first few moments

of meeting each

person in this room,

you didn't form firm opinions

of their character?

Well, it would be a shame if my first

impression of you proved correct.

Well, Miss Erstwhile, I for one

am so pleased you are here.

Another woman who understands,

as I do, the rocky road of love.

Mrs. Wattlesbrook told me

of your tragic story.

What?

I try to learn a great

deal about my clients

so that I can better

prepare for their stay.

You have been unlucky

in love, shall we say?

We most definitely

should say.

At your age,

with no husband, no kinder...

I'm sorry.
