Enjoy your hours!Well!
I didn't think the Mingotts|would have tried it on.
Parading her at the opera.
Sitting her next to May Welland.|It's all very odd.
Well, she's had such an odd life.
Will they bring her|to the Beauforts' ball?
If they do, the talk|will be of little else.
Good evening, Mrs. Welland, May.
Newland.
You know my niece, Countess Olenska.
Countess.
I hope you've told Madame Olenska.
What?
That we're engaged.
I want everybody to know.
Let me announce it at the ball.
If you can persuade Mama.
Why should we change what is settled?
But you can tell my cousin yourself.|She remembers you.
I remember we played together.
How this brings it all back to me.
I remember everybody|in knickerbockers and pantalettes.
You were horrid.
You kissed me once behind a door.
But it was Vandy, who never|looked at me, that I loved.
- You have been away a very long time.|- Centuries and centuries.
So long, I'm sure I'm dead|and this dear place is heaven.
It invariably happened,|as everything did in those days...
...in the same way.
...Mrs. Julius Beaufort appeared,|unaccompanied by her husband...
...just before "The Jewel Song. "
And, again as usual,|rose at the end of the third act...
...and disappeared.
New York then knew|that a half-hour later...
...the Beauforts' annual|opera ball would begin.
Carriages waited at the curb|for the entire performance.
It was known in New York|but never acknowledged...
...that Americans want|to leave amusement...
...even more quickly|than they want to get to it.
The Beauforts' house was one of|the few in New York with a ballroom.
Such a room, shuttered in darkness|364 days of the year...
...was felt to compensate for whatever|was regrettable in the Beaufort past.
Regina Beaufort came from|an old South Carolina family.
But her husband, Julius,|who passed for an Englishman...
...was known to have dissipated|habits, a bitter tongue...
...and mysterious antecedents.
His marriage assured him|a social position...
...but not necessarily respect.
Newland Archer hadn't stopped at|his club, as young men usually did...
...but came directly to the ball.
He wanted the announcement|of his engagement...
...to divert gossip away|from the countess...
...and show his most ardent support|for May and her whole family.
The Beaufort house had been|boldly planned.
Instead of squeezing through|a passage to get to the ballroom...
...one marched solemnly down a vista|of enfiladed drawing rooms.
But only by passing through|the crimson drawing room...
...could one see|The Return of Spring...
...the much-discussed nude|by Bouguereau...
Archer enjoyed such challenges|to convention.
He questioned conformity in private...
...but in public he upheld|family and tradition.
This was a world balanced|so precariously...
...that its harmony could be|shattered by a whisper.
On the whole, Archer was amused by|the smooth hypocrisies of his peers.
He may even have envied them.
Lawrence Lefferts, for instance...
...was New York's foremost|authority on form.
His opinion on pumps|versus patent-leather oxfords...
...had never been disputed.
On matters of surreptitious romance...
...his skills went unquestioned.
Old Mr. Sillerton Jackson was|as great an authority on family...
...as Lawrence Lefferts was on form.
The mean and melancholy history of|Countess Olenska's European marriage...
...was a buried treasure|he hastened to excavate.
He carried, like a calling card...
...an entire register|of the scandals and mysteries...
...that had smoldered under|the unruffled surface of society...
