The link perhaps. Hm? 68 00:04:40,992 --> 00:04:44,064 One sublime life proving that two opposing ideas 69 00:04:44,085 --> 00:04:46,944 can be joined. What do you think? 70 00:04:46,954 --> 00:04:49,446 Oh, I don't know. My first year, we talked a good 71 00:04:49,466 --> 00:04:52,347 bit about this sort of thing. But in the second, 72 00:04:52,357 --> 00:04:54,748 one gives it up. I don't know why. 73 00:04:54,768 --> 00:04:57,079 It's jolly interesting. Yes, it was much 74 00:04:57,119 --> 00:04:59,058 the same in my day. But when you say 75 00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:00,984 that dogs have a sense 76 00:05:01,019 --> 00:05:02,900 of altruism, isn't it just 77 00:05:02,930 --> 00:05:04,430 selfish emotion? - No. No, dogs love something 78 00:05:04,465 --> 00:05:04,830 outside themselves. 79 00:05:04,831 --> 00:05:08,516 They aren't 80 00:05:08,551 --> 00:05:10,772 pure forsytes.

I admire you 85 00:05:20,555 --> 00:05:22,685 for it, though. I doubt if I should have 86 00:05:22,706 --> 00:05:24,727 the courage to do it at your age. 87 00:05:24,747 --> 00:05:26,827 Forsytes don'T. Still I suppose 88 00:05:26,857 --> 00:05:28,628 the type gets thinner with each 89 00:05:28,668 --> 00:05:30,998 succeeding generation. Your son, jolly, may well 90 00:05:31,018 --> 00:05:33,929 be the perfect altruist. Hm, not if he's like me, 91 00:05:33,969 --> 00:05:36,610 he won'T.

But you have asked her, soames, 394 00:18:25,353 --> 00:18:27,693 and she refused. The idea was new to her. 395 00:18:27,713 --> 00:18:29,924 It came as a shock. Now that she's 396 00:18:29,963 --> 00:18:31,283 thought about it, she must realize that it's 397 00:18:31,284 --> 00:18:33,765 the only way for both of us. That's not my impression 398 00:18:33,784 --> 00:18:36,905 of her state of mind. It's the only 399 00:18:36,925 --> 00:18:38,435 reasonable way. I believe you're 400 00:18:38,475 --> 00:18:40,047 making a big mistake if you think that reason 401 00:18:40,057 --> 00:18:43,416 comes into this at all. Perhaps I see th 402 00:18:43,426 --> 00:18:44,531 a little more clearly than you imagine. 403 00:18:44,532 --> 00:18:47,319 - Do you now? - Good morning. 404 00:18:47,339 --> 00:18:49,059 Good morning. Is that what you came 405 00:18:49,089 --> 00:18:50,408 to tell me? - No. My position with her 406 00:18:50,409 --> 00:18:53,831 is very difficult. Your position? 407 00:18:53,850 --> 00:18:55,210 I want to be sure that you won't try 408 00:18:55,211 --> 00:18:57,332 to influence her against me. 409 00:18:57,351 --> 00:18:58,751 I don't know what makes you think that I have any influence. 410 00:18:58,752 --> 00:19:01,472 But if I have, I'm bound to use it 411 00:19:01,502 --> 00:19:04,113 in the direction of her happiness. 412 00:19:04,147 --> 00:19:06,724 Does that mean you're against me? 413 00:19:06,733 --> 00:19:08,524 I'm against any woman living with a man, soames, 414 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,885 whom she definitely dislikes. 415 00:19:10,905 --> 00:19:13,955 Married or not. I suppose every time 416 00:19:13,965 --> 00:19:15,497 you see her, you put your opinions 417 00:19:15,526 --> 00:19:17,698 into her mind. I'm not likely 418 00:19:17,727 --> 00:19:20,098 to be seeing her. Well, do you mean...? 419 00:19:20,128 --> 00:19:21,181 You're not going back to paris? 420 00:19:21,182 --> 00:19:22,808 No. Not as far as I know. 421 00:19:22,818 --> 00:19:25,839 Than that's all that I had to say. 422 00:19:25,859 --> 00:19:27,710 Except to point out that anyone 423 00:19:27,739 --> 00:19:29,480 who comes between man and wife 424 00:19:29,490 --> 00:19:30,690 incurs a heavy responsibility. 425 00:19:30,691 --> 00:19:32,261 Yes, you said something of that sort before. 426 00:19:32,295 --> 00:19:34,552 Is that all? 427 00:19:34,572 --> 00:19:37,622 For the moment. Then good day to you. 428 00:19:55,652 --> 00:20:00,819 I have just had a visit from soames. 429 00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:03,120 Somehow he has discovered 430 00:20:03,139 --> 00:20:06,962 that you are in paris. I don't want to alarm you, 431 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,713 but I think you should know he's going to have another try. 432 00:20:08,747 --> 00:20:15,574 But please be calm. 433 00:20:15,604 --> 00:20:17,243 There's absolutely nothing he can do. 434 00:20:17,273 --> 00:20:20,546 You will be sad to hear that your old friend 435 00:20:20,566 --> 00:20:23,856 balthasar is dead. We're fools, aren't we? 436 00:20:23,866 --> 00:20:25,416 To give our affection when we know it must end in heartache. 437 00:20:25,436 --> 00:20:29,357 I think the warning 438 00:20:29,377 --> 00:20:31,469 in your first letter must have been 439 00:20:31,479 --> 00:20:32,748 a false alarm because there has been 440 00:20:32,749 --> 00:20:35,440 no sign from soames. As you say, it is as well 441 00:20:35,475 --> 00:20:38,130 to be prepared, but a mouth has passed now, so 442 00:20:38,150 --> 00:20:38,810 perhaps he's changed his mind. 443 00:20:38,811 --> 00:20:42,872 I have been re-reading what 444 00:20:43,112 --> 00:20:46,682 you wrote about affection. Surely it's never foolish to 445 00:20:46,713 --> 00:20:47,366 give, whatever the end may be. 446 00:20:47,367 --> 00:20:51,295 But to take 447 00:20:51,313 --> 00:20:53,665 without giving in return, is not only foolish, 448 00:20:53,675 --> 00:20:56,395 - but wicked. - Aren't you glad 449 00:20:56,425 --> 00:20:58,505 that's done and out of the away? - Jolly: 450 00:20:58,535 --> 00:21:00,707 You're an absolute angel. Ah, jolly. 451 00:21:00,737 --> 00:21:01,786 Nice to see you in civilized clothes again. 452 00:21:01,787 --> 00:21:04,578 I wonder when you'll wear them next? Are you packed? 453 00:21:04,588 --> 00:21:07,009 Packed and re-packed. 454 00:21:07,049 --> 00:21:09,049 June's been helping me, and you know what that means. 455 00:21:09,069 --> 00:21:11,920 Yes, indeed. June. 456 00:21:11,929 --> 00:21:13,660 June. If the ship goes down, 457 00:21:13,670 --> 00:21:16,091 you'll know whom to blame. Don't be 458 00:21:16,101 --> 00:21:17,410 so ungrateful. My kit is bulging with 459 00:21:17,411 --> 00:21:19,892 unnecessary objects ranging from liniment 460 00:21:19,912 --> 00:21:23,183 to balaclava helmets. I think she imagines 461 00:21:23,218 --> 00:21:24,662 that south africa lies somewhere 462 00:21:24,663 --> 00:21:26,935 north of greenland. What nonsense. 463 00:21:26,975 --> 00:21:28,194 I'm told the nights can be very cold on the veldt. 464 00:21:28,195 --> 00:21:31,246 Who told you? - Nurses who have 465 00:21:31,266 --> 00:21:32,425 been out there.

But do you realize that 488 00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:26,852 for every man killed in action out there, 489 00:22:26,872 --> 00:22:27,952 five, five are dying from disease? 490 00:22:27,953 --> 00:22:30,592 Enteric, dysentery, blackwater fever. 491 00:22:30,612 --> 00:22:34,373 Well, I think that's horrible. 492 00:22:34,383 --> 00:22:37,634 Horrible and wasteful.
