Come and use your

whore my Lord.

You'll never have anyone

who'll do what

you want like me.

Thank you.

You'll pardon me mam

if I don't join

you in drinking

that French chateau wine.

I guess it's too

refined for my taste.

Some would say

too civilized.

I'll drink you're health

but it'll be in Samuel

Markoolin's rye.

Smoky kind of whiskey.

I travel it with

me all over.

How very wise Mr. Doran.

Very wise.

If one has an established

taste why then...

just say...just say.

The wine sir

is magnificent.

Bless you.

You know don't you

I've settled

a considerable

amount on Hettie

for when she's married?

She's very conscious

of your generosity sir.

She's mentioned

it more than once.

Sure.

Now tell me about

this house of yours.

Great house, sad

looking they tell me.

I'll accept that

but I'm not prepared

to lay out more

for the time

I spend there.

Hettie has told me

how beautiful it is.

I think she'd like it

to be one of her homes.

I would want to please

Hettie in any way I can

but I'm not

sure that living in

Glovin is possible.

Why not?

You've always been

very frank with me

so I'll admit

something to you.

When I was much younger

and barely had a

grasp of affairs

I was very

badly advised,

financially I mean.

In what way?

I was persuaded

to sell off

outlying parts of Glovin

until there wasn't enough

income from the estate

to sustain the house.

Then mortgages were taken

out to repair things

which left even

less income.

And nobody warned you

of the consequences?

I trusted my advisors.

They were my

father's advisors.

When you grow up

in a place a Glovin

it seems eternal.

Sure I see that?

I'll be off then

Miss Miller

and I hope you'll

do the same.

Cause there's no point

in you doing otherwise.

Well rid me of this

troublesome woman.

Are you my savior?

I do say get out.

Here this should

kick things off

for you to make a

start at Glovin.

How very generous sir.

You look after my girl.

I'll look after

your house.

The Park Club.

The Park Club.

Vincent.

Thank you.

Go.

Go.

Remember our

agreement my Lord.

This quarter's payment

or I will foreclose

the mortgages.

I have to be

married later this

morning Callahan.

The bride's father

is the richest man on

the Pacific slope.

Anything she wants

he'll give her

as long as I

keep her happy.

Oh yes keep her

very happy man.

My partner and I have

no wish to own Glovin.

Please don't force

us to take it.

Rest assured that you

will never come to that.

You'll excuse

me gentlemen.

Thank you Mrs. Hudson.

Is that look of reproach?

No.

No I'm often up

at this hour.

I don't really

sleep these days.

Scale.

The scale of the chair
