Don't wait till the bubble's off|the wine. Marry before Lent.
I may catch pneumonia, and I want|to give the wedding breakfast.
What a kind offer.
Even if she hadn't been|May's grandmother...
...Mrs. Manson Mingott would|have been the first to receive...
...the required betrothal visit.
She was not only the matriarch|of this world...
...she was nearly its dowager empress.
Much of New York was related to her...
...and she knew the remainder|by marriage or by reputation.
Though brownstone was the norm...
...she lived magisterially|within a large house...
...of controversial pale,|cream-colored stone...
...in an inaccessible wilderness|near the Central Park.
The burden of her flesh|had long since made it impossible...
...for her to climb stairs.
So with characteristic|independence...
...she had established herself|on the ground floor of her house.
From her sitting room, there was|an unexpected vista of her bedroom.
Her visitors were fascinated by|the foreignness of this arrangement...
...which recalled scenes|in French fiction.
This was how women with lovers|lived in the wicked old societies.
But if she had wanted a lover...
...the intrepid woman|would have had him too.
For now, she was content simply...
...and to anticipate eagerly|the union of Newland Archer...
...with her granddaughter, May.
In them, two of New York's|best families...
...would finally|and momentously be joined.
- Goodbye, Mama.|- Goodbye.
Ellen.
Beaufort, this is a rare favor.
Unnecessarily rare, I'd say.
I met Countess Ellen,|and she let me walk home with her.
This house will be merrier|now that she's here.
- Thank you.|- Beaufort, pull up that tuffet.
I want a good gossip.
You already know about May and me.
She scolded me for not telling you.
Of course I know, and I'm so glad.
One doesn't tell such news|first in a crowd.
Careful there.
Don't catch your ring on your sleeve.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Come and see me someday.
It's a mistake for Ellen to parade up|5th Avenue with Julius...
...at the crowded hour...
...the very day after her arrival.
He's so flagrant. Even his wife|must know about Annie Ring.
Sillerton Jackson enjoyed his|frequent visits to the Archer home...
...more than the actual dining.
Newland Archer's mother...
...and his sister Janey were both|shy women and shrank from society.
But they liked to be well-informed|and doted on their bachelor friend.
Certain nuances escape Beaufort.
Necessarily.|Beaufort is a vulgar man.
Not in business. Most of New York|trusts him with its affairs.
My Grandfather Newland|always told Mother:
"Don't let that Beaufort|be introduced to the girls."
