Overview

Set in 1870's New York, a spinster heiress is courted by a much younger, penniless man, much to the chagrin of her over-protective father, and must decide whether to spend the rest of her life alone, or marry a man who is interested in her only because of her inheritence.

00:08:54 Father, there is so much to do.
00:13:14 He's conceited enough to believe he has made you speechless.
00:17:37 You see, there are Townsends, and then there are Townsends.
00:21:50 for such frivolity as musical instruments.
00:26:48 as the city winds to a close, so peaceful and quiet.
00:30:32 What can they be talking about, all this time?
00:38:17 He's altogether too familiar, too self-assured. He's...
00:42:20 Are you close to him? Oh, yes.
00:46:28 I can't put myself in that place. I speak from my own point of view.
00:50:54 Come on, ma'am. You've had your look.
00:55:47 you would be available to listen.
01:01:42 I have chosen you.
01:08:21 Father?
01:12:43 You have become brave. Perhaps it does make a difference to Morris.
01:17:25 What is it?
01:20:49 Oh, I suppose that in some years to come, some man might happen along, and...
01:25:37 We will bear things together.

01:45:03 # Then one day a finger came wandering by #
01:49:07 Oh, Catherine, you do me an injustice.
