of wheat per annum, a thousand pigs,

00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,640
2,OOO quid's worth of milk every month,
299
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,040
a ton of vegetables every bloody week!
300
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,920
l tell boys to start dishing now, bwana?
301
00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:21,160
- Her Ladyship must've been delayed.
- Yes.
302
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:25,400
Let's hang on another five minutes.
303
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,920
Hm...
We're so alike, you and l.
304
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,960
You know, there used to be a saying
in Happy Valley.
305
00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:22,240
''What happens to a
girl when she loses her looks?''
306
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,640
- Answer, ''Nothing.''
- Oh, Joss.
307
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,480
What happens when you've
bought and sold yourself so many times
308
00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:31,840
there's nothing left?
309
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,320
We thought we had everything.
And we have nothing.
310
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,280
And if you asked, l don't believe
any of us could tell you why.
311
00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:49,880
l told you this was paradise.
Well, it isn't.
312
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:57,000
Sometimes l think only Gilbert Colvile
has found a way to live with it.
313
00:38:03,639 --> 00:38:08,320
- Why me?
- l want you for my sake, Diana.
314
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,240
l'm being entirely selfish.
315
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,320
l want you more
than l've ever wanted anyone
316
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,520
in my rather shoddy life.
317
00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:20,680
l want you to save me from myself.
318
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:27,520
Joss...
319
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:33,640
l love you.
320
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:56,920
- You came home late last night.
- Did l?
321
00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:00,880
Sorry. June insisted
we have another drink at the club.
322
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:03,800
Ah... Erroll there?
323
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,920
Yes. As a matter of fact,
he did drop by.
324
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,480
My God, l'm late. l promised June
l'd meet her at half past.
325
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:15,400
Look, l really must dash.
She'll be waiting for me.
326
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:18,680
l'll be back for dinner.
327
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:22,520
By the way,
l've booked us a passage to Ceylon.
328
00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:26,520
- What?
- l need to look at some property there.
329
00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:30,200
- We leave at the end of the month.
- The house is half-furnished.
330
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,400
We can't go away now.
331
00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:36,200
Let's talk about it later, shall we?
l simply must dash.
332
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,040
l'll be late for June.
333
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,160
Jock.
334
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,320
Please, sit down.
335
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,400
Go and have a coffee.
336
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,960
l've come to ask you a favour, Joss.
337
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:09,320
- If l can do it, l will.
- You can.
338
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,960
lt's about Diana.
l'm not an unreasonable man.
339
00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:18,360
l have never restricted
Diana's pleasures, nor do l want to.
340
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,280
She's a young woman
and she needs to be kept amused.
341
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,400
Unfortunately,
you've not been very discreet.
342
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:37,360
Damn it, Joss, the whole bloody colony
is talking about your affair with my wife.
343
00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:39,560
l see.
344
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:46,960
We've known each other a long time,
and l think we respect each other.
345
00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:50,160
l've always liked you enormously.
346
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:54,440
You remind me
of myself when l was your age.
347
00:40:55,519 --> 00:40:57,520
Really?
348
00:40:57,679 --> 00:41:01,840
As a friend, Joss,
l'm asking you to call a halt.
349
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,640
ln the long run,
it will be best for Diana, too.
350
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,520
- Have you spoken to her?
- No.
351
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,320
l'm hoping l shan't have to.
352
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,080
l'm hoping l can rely
on you to resolve the situation.
353
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,960
- Abdullah?
- Bwana.
354
00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:36,680
l've changed my mind...
355
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,240
We won't be dining after all.
356
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,000
Tell Dwali to bring the car around.
357
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:45,000
Yes, bwana.
358
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,520
- Can l help you, sir?
- Yes.
359
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:05,960
Has my wife,
Lady Broughton arrived yet?
360
00:42:06,119 --> 00:42:09,800
- l'll check.
- They're on the floor, Jock.
361
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,080
- Diana.
- Jock, what are you doing here?
362
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,64
