Where Angels Fear to Tread Page #4

with them, you would have...

...your mother and all your sisters

living right here in the house with us.

You are right. They are not for you.

I want to see different people,

you know important people.

Who are the most important

people in Monteriano?

The prison governor

and his officers, perhaps.

And the mayor.

- Are they married? - Yes.

There we are then. Do you know them?

Yes, in a way.

I see.

They look down on you,

do they, you poor boy.

That's going to change, just you wait.

I want to wake you all up,

just as I woke up Sawston.

I'm having real,

English tea parties.

So sorry..

Mr. Herriton. I hardly recognized you.

- Are you going up to London for the day?

Yes, I travel up on this every month now.

- Can I help you with this? - Thank you.

Are you visiting friends?

No, charity work for the poor.

Well, we can travel up together. - Yes,

I'd like that.

You considered me sentimental

and wicked at the time,

but you never knew how

much I was to blame.

Really I haven't thought about it now.

I hated Sawston, you see.

The idleness, stupidity,

respectability-...

The petty unselfishness.

I have an idea that everyone

there made small sacrifices...

...of objects they did not care for...

To please people they do not...

...like. Just as bad, they didn't

learn how to enjoy themselves.

I thought Gino was splendid, young. If they

wanted to get married, why shouldn't they.

So I called her to my

bedroom one night and...

...asked her 'Do you love

this man, yes or no'.

She said yes, and I said...

'Why don't you marry him if

you think you would be happy?'.

So she had you that made her happy.

- It may not have been so wrong.

He was only a boy.

Just starting to turn into something fine.

Is that you, Spiridone?

- Did you go and get married?

Have you heard it?

- From England, blond. Is she rich?

Incredibly rich. But there is a problem.

- Just one? Lucky dog.

That was lovely.

You have such a beautiful

voice, Signor Tesi.

I am sorry, I cannot stay.

Well? But...

I'm so glad that you like music.

- Yes, passionately.

I have not studied scientific music,

only music of the heart.

Well you must come again.

We must have many lovely

evenings just like this.

Goodbye. And thank you.

I won't be long.

You're probably right.

I will not invite more.

Why should she be treated differently?

Wisely. You should monitor

what is valuable.

But she needs something to do.

Is she Catholic?

No.

- It was a shame.

You have to persuade her.

It will be a solace in her loneliness.

What are you doing?

- Go out.

Perfetta must clear away lunch.

I can walk by myself.

I forbid you.

- I always do in England.

This is Italy. Married women
