Ah, yes, Chipping is
waiting for his wife, I believe.
00:00:06.269 --> 00:00:07.942
- Chipping's what?
- His wife.
00:00:08.105 --> 00:00:10.244
- Surprising, isn't it?
- Flabbergasting.
00:00:10.407 --> 00:00:13.001
- Who on earth?
-Who, indeed, huh?
00:00:13.021 --> 00:00:16.748
That's the question we've all been asking
ever since we heard the news.
00:00:16.913 --> 00:00:20.036
She's had a little difficulty
choosing the right dress.
00:00:20.517 --> 00:00:21.552
We're very late.
00:00:21.718 --> 00:00:24.001
Well, I can't help it, Max.
Don't look so solemn.
00:00:24.221 --> 00:00:26.997
- No one's ever late for assembly.
-I'm fully aware of it.
00:00:27.157 --> 00:00:29.296
It's someone he met
on one of his excursions...
00:00:29.459 --> 00:00:31.564
...to the ancient ruins of Pompeii.
00:00:31.728 --> 00:00:34.047
Something of an ancient ruin herself.
no doubt.
00:00:34.631 --> 00:00:37.441
No, not necessarily, dear.
00:00:37.868 --> 00:00:40.003
Oh, God, he looked at his watch.
00:00:40.237 --> 00:00:44.999
In 20 years at Brookfield, I've never once
been late for weekly assembly, Max.
00:00:44.207 --> 00:00:46.778
If this is going to be
the future pattern of my life...
00:00:46.943 --> 00:00:49.423
Oh, dear fellow.
I do hope you've been wise.
00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:52.997
Of course I've been wise, you old idiot.
00:00:52.215 --> 00:00:55.628
A pretty face is not everything, you know,
dearest old fellow.
00:00:55.786 --> 00:00:58.858
There are so many questions
of temperament and suitability.
