The past is a foreign country.
They do things differently there.
- This is Dry Toast.
- Hello Dry Toast.
Come on slug.
That's my father.
Come on !
...or, as he was called usually
by the company,
who affected what Nate
called "napping English",
the squire, who was leader
of the opposite faction.
The rank and fortune of the lady,
Who's that ?
The pretensions to beauty
as well as talent,
though the former was
something faded,
My sister is very beautiful.
Yes.
What's that ?
It's a deadly nightshade, you oaf.
Atropa belladonna.
- Atropa what ?
- Atropa belladonna. It's poisonous.
Every part of it is poison.
Die !
Lady Penelope shrieked faintly, hid her
eyes and hurried back from the bed.
while Lord Etherington, his look startling
with the complication of feelings,
remained gazing on the poor woman.
Didn't you say his mother was
a widow, Marcus ?
I think so.
I don't really know very much about him.
He seems to be a nice lad.
I do have an impression that he lives in
rather a small house with his mother.
Yes. He seems a very nice boy.
Now, is everyone here ?
Ah, Leo. Good evening.
Good evening, Mrs. Maudsley.
Mr. Maudsley.
Now, let us go in to dinner.
You were in cranking form
today at croquet, Marian.
- Was I ?
- Come along, Marian. Marcus.
Marian is quite formidable at croquet.
Am I ?
I believe we must be weary
of you, Leo.
I understand you're a magician.
Is that true ?
Well, not for real. Only, you know...
At school. Anyway, it was supposed
to be a secret, actually.
His curses are fearful.
He cast a fiendish spell
on two boys at school.
They fell of the roof.
And were severely mutilated.
Did they die ?
Oh, no. They were just a little,
you know... severely mutilated.
I mean, to get them to fall off
the roof without killing them.
Well, it wasn't a killing curse, you see.
There are curses and curses.
It depends on the curse.
How frightening.
You're not going to bewitch
us here, are you ?
Oh, no. I shouldn't think so.
Hello.
Have you been enjoying yourself ?
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
Pretty warm. What does it say ?
- 83.
- Warm.
The suit is a little warm, isn't it ?
No, sir.
Enjoying yourself ?
Yes, thank you, sir.
Good.
There's another thing.
When you undress you mustn't fold up
your clothes and put them on the chest.
You must leave them lying wherever
they happen to fall.
The servants will pick them up.
That's what they're for.
You are looking hot. Haven't
I'm not hot, really.
- That's a Norfolk jacket, isn't it ?
- Yes.
Well, it's quite appropriate,
then, isn't it ?
After all, we are at Norfolk.
Have we a pair of bellows, mama ?
Why ?
To cool Leo.
Does Leo need cooling ?
I may look hot, but I'm really
quite cool underneath.
Did you leave your summer
clothes at home ?
I expect mother forgot to put them in.
Why don't you write and ask
her to send them ?
Oh, that would take too long, mama.
Let me take him in to Norridge tomorrow
and get him a new outfit.
Would you like that, Leo ?
Well, I haven't any money.
At least only...
Oh, they can be your birthday presents
from us. When is your birthday ?
Well, it's on the 27th of
this month, actually.
I was born under the sign of Leo.
Oh, good. I can give you a lion skin.
Or a mane.
Well, we'll go tomorrow.
Wouldn't you rather wait until
Monday, when Hugh will be here ?
Norridge would hardly be a treat for
Hugh, mama. Trailing around the shops ?
Besides, by Monday Leo
will have melted into butter.
And all he'll need will be a muslin bag.
