Do you know it?

Have you stayed

No, I haven't.

I saw it advertised
in a magazine

when I was visiting
my daughter in Scotland.

It sounded nice.

It mentioned
excellent cuisine.

Rule number 1--

We under-dress
for dinner here.

An attempt to blend in
with the surroundings.

- Oh, dear.

- I'm on my way to
the television room.

Takes me a long time
to get there,

so I leave a bit
before everyone else.

We take our coffee there

and watch the latest
serial on the telly.

I'd be glad
if you joined me...

if you're not
faint of heart.

- Well, what on earth
do you watch?

One of those gruesome
American things?

- Yes.

"Sex and the City."

I watch it in weekly doses,
like a medicine.

It makes me feel better

knowing I'm not going

Mrs. Burton,

How long do you
plan to stay?

I'm taking it month-by-month.

- Oh, good. Do you have
relatives in London?

- Uh, yes, yes.

I have a grandson, Desmond.

He works at
the British Archives.

- Marvelous.

I suppose we'll be seeing
a lot of him, then.

- Well, he's a very
busy young man.

- They all are.

- I have my whole family
in Bournemouth,

but they come to
visit me constantly.

- I'm seriously considering
moving there myself.

- Ah, that would be nice.

The weather is
certainly milder.

- Yes.

It's such a lively place.
There's so much going on.

- Well, I would've thought

there was always something
going on in London.

- It's true, but one just
doesn't seem to go to it.

Widow, are you?

- Mrs. Post, isn't it a bit too
early for interrogations?

- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to pr--

- No, no, no.
It's quite all right.

And yes, yes,
I am a widow.

So is Mrs. Arbuthnot.

That all right, Your Highness?

It's your grandmother.

I'm sure your mother has told
you that I'm here in London,

and I would like to invite
you to lunch here on Sunday,

if you're not busy.

I would love to see you
and show you off.

So call me at the Claremont
Hotel whenever you can.

Well, I'll, uh... I'll say
goodbye now then, dear, and--

Um, how far away

I'll take my chances.

- Oh, Mrs. Palfrey,
I'm so glad I caught you.

Would you do me
the slightest favor?

- Uh, I was just on my way
to the post office.

- Oh, perfect. Would you
be kind enough to

stop at the library
and pick up a book for me?

They have it waiting
for me at the front desk.

It's right on your way.

Here's my library card.
Thank you.

You can't miss it.

her several drafts

to write the perfect
letter to her daughter

expressing, with restraint,

her concern for
Desmond's silence.

As, at many other
times in her life,

she questioned how

would be interpreted.

Would she appear needy

There.

All right, take my hand.

Mind the step.

I've hurt my knee.

- There's a step...

just coming here.

All right?

Just give me one moment.

At least we avoided
the paparazzi.

Let me see this leg.

It's not that deep. You'll
probably live another day.

I've got some
disinfectant somewhere.

- You're very kind.
- My name is Ludovic Meyer...

and I'm not joking.

To add insult to injury,
people call me Ludo.

- I'm Sarah Palfrey.

- You're pulling my leg.
- No, I'm not.

- Then we have
something in common.

We both have ridiculous names.

Now I'm sorry I don't have
any cotton wool for this,

but I can assure you this
shirt is 100 percent cotton.

- You mustn't do that.
Ouch!

- Are you sure?

Yes.

Yes, I...

Yes. I was more
shocked than anything.

- Well, brilliant.

Would you like
a cup of tea?

- Oh, no, no.
No, thank you.

I've been enough of
a nuisance already.

- Oh, nonsense. I was just
gonna make one for myself.

- Now, were you really?

- Scout's honor.

- Well, in that case, yes,
it would be very nice.

- Excellent.
Have a seat, ma'am.

Just got off work
in time for your rescue.

- Well, that was very
lucky for me.

- Just trying to
find another mug.

Don't usually have guests.

- Oh, have you not
lived here very long?

- Oh, it's not mine.
I'm house-sitting.

I get it rent-free.

I do other jobs for money.

- Are you a musician?
- What makes you say that?

- Well, the...
- Oh.

No, no, no. I'm just a busker.
- A busker?

- You know, one of
those people who

plays on the street
for money.

[Snapping fingers]
- Oh.

- I... am a writer.

Without a laptop.

I sit in coffee shops
and write

until they ask me to leave.

Then I come home
to my old faithful

Remington Quiet Model One and...
[imitates keys clacking]

ding!...
- [laughs]

- ...until the neighbors
shout obscenities at me.

- [Silently] Oh.

- Have you had
anything published?

- No, of course, I haven't.

But I'm still trying.

- Well, it takes time.
You're very young.

- I've been hearing that
for the past 26 years.

- Twenty-six?
My grandson is 26.

- Oh.

- Oh, goodness me.
Look at the time.

I'm going to be
late for dinner.

- Oh, are you going far?
- No, not far.

The Claremont Hotel
at Lancaster Gate.

- Oh, well, I'll whistle
up a cab for you.

- Thank you.

- LUDO: [whistles]
Taxi!

Your cab awaits, ma'am.

- I would be delighted
if you would come

and have dinner
with me one evening.

- At the Claremont?

- I'd like to repay
your kindness in some way.

- Why, that would be
very grand.

- Would Saturday suit you?

- Why not?

Saturday would be lovely.

have a little adventure.

- Oh, so did Lady Chatterley,
from the looks of it.

- Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
I dropped it.

Quite unintentionally,
of course.

- Nevertheless, it was
very kind of you.

for dinner on Saturday.

A young gentleman.
- Finally!

We're finally going to meet
this mythical grandson.

Does he have a girlfriend?

His name is Ludovic Meyer.

Hello. Oh, Ludo,
thank goodness I found you.

- How's your leg?
- Oh, the leg's fine.

I'm afraid I've gone
and put my foot in it.

I may steal that line,
if you don't mind.

- Wha--sorry?

- Nothing. Would you
like some tea?

- Oh, no. No, thank you.

Uh, I had to come
and tell you

because I've got myself
into a bit of a mess.

- Oh, don't tell me
the police are after you.

- No, no, please don't laugh.
This is serious.

- All right. Sorry. Go on.

- Well, quite recklessly
I've announced that

I have a young visitor
for dinner on Saturday,

and everybody assumed it
was my grandson, Desmond.

- So?

- Well, I didn't deny it.

I just let it go.
It was such a surprise.

You see, he never
came to visit.

He didn't even call.

So they all refer to him
as my "mythical" grandson.

- Well, I don't
see the problem.

Why don't I be your
grandson for the evening?

- Oh, would you?
- Well, of course.

- Would you, really?
- Well, of course.

Between you and me, I've never
really had a grandmother.

- Well, everybody
has a grandmother.

- True, but I never met mine.

- Oh? Oh, well, thank you,

And this is for you.
- Oh, you shouldn't have.

It's what grandmothers do.

Open it up.

I hope it fits.
It's 100 % cotton, you know?

- Oh! It's lovely.
Thank you.

Now, what do I call you?

Is it "Grandmother"?
"Granny"?

I mean, if I call you
"Mrs. Palfrey"

in front of everyone--

- Oh. Uh, well,
when he was a tiny tot,

Desmond used to
call me "Sasa."

- Right. Who's Desmond?
- Well, my real...

...my, uh,
my other grandson.

- [Laughing]

Right and what does
Desmond wear?

Oh, don't worry.
I'll work something out.

Till Saturday, Sasa.
[Kisses hand]

- I do hope he's got
a decent pair of shoes.

- Hello, Sasa.
You look ravishing.

- Well, you look very
nice, too.

Are you ready
for our entrance?

- Absolutely.

By the way,
what's my name again?

- Oh, dear. Desmond.

D-E-S-M-O-N-D.

Good evening.

- And this is
your grandson?

- I'm Desmond.

- Of course. I can see.

The resemblance
is uncanny.

Oh, but please,
sit down.

It's so nice
finally to meet you.

We've heard so much
about you.

Are you enjoying
your job in the Archives?

I can't imagine such
an important thing.

Are you open on Sundays?

- LUDO: No.
- SARAH: Yes.

- Sorry, did you say "open"?

I thought you said
do I work on Sundays?

We are open 365 days a year,
seven days a week.

We're... open.

- I hope we can see more
of you in the future.

I have a niece.
She's quite lovely.

She comes to visit
me on Thursdays.

You didn't tell me he was such
a good-looking young man.

I-I suppose you have
a girlfriend, d-do you?

- Mrs. Post!

Postpone interrogations
for later.

Let them have
dinner in peace.

- [Quiet laugh]
- [quiet chuckle]

- Sorry. I didn't mean to...

- Good evening.
- Mrs. Arbuthnot.

- I'm--
- I know.

Welcome to
the Claremont, young man.

I hope you have
a strong stomach.

- Good Lord, we're trapped in
a Terence Rattigan play.

- Mrs. Arbuthnot has been
at the Claremont for years.

- Yes, I can see.

It's entered her soul.

- People aren't always
what they seem.

She was very kind to me
on my first night here.

- You're quite right.

As the poet would say, "We see
into the life of things."

- That's Wordsworth.

- Indeed.
Do you enjoy him?

- Oh, yes.
He's my traveling companion.

I take him everywhere.
And you?

- I like him,
but William Blake's my man.

- Oh! That was Arthur's
favorite poet.

- Who's Arthur?

- [Quietly]
Your grandfather, dear.

- Oh, yes, of course.

Well, there you are.
You see, it runs in the family.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- VIOLET: [quiet giggle]

How do you do?

- Fine, thank you.

- [Giggling]

- Bye-bye.

- You know, I'm enjoying
this too much.

Do you think
that's wicked?

- No. Enjoy it
as much as you can.

I've never enjoyed
myself more...

with my clothes on.

- Thanks.

May I be brutally frank?

- Oh, dear. I don't know.

- What are you doing here?

You don't seem to belong.

- Well, that's a long story.

I must confess, I feel
quite comfortable here.

And safe.

According to Mrs. Arbuthnot,
you're not allowed to die here.

- [Laughing] Well, that may be
wishful thinking on her part.

I don't know. I imagined you
traveling the world,

visiting exotic places.

- Oh, I did that.
In the past, with Arthur.

- Grandpapa.

- He would've
liked you very much.

And vice-versa.

- I'm so, so sorry
to interrupt.

- Uh, Mrs. Burton.

- I'm just off to the theater
with some friends

and I didn't want to miss
the grand opportunity

of meeting your grandson.

Hello, darling.
Shirley. Shirley Burton.

- Desmond.
How do you do?

- I see that good looks
and charm runs in the family.

- That's very kind of you.

- You have good genes,
Mrs. Palfrey.

- Isn't it remarkable how people
see what they want to see.

- Yes. Remarkable.

You don't have to
see me out.

- I don't have to,
but I want to.

I don't know
how to thank you.

You have no idea how much
this has meant to me.

- Well, it's reciprocal.

You've given me
ideas, Mrs. Palfrey.

- Oh?

- A story is shaping up
in my mind,

something you could
help me with.

- Oh, tell me.

- Would you share with me

some of the things that matter
to you from your life.

And in return, I can
show you some from mine.

- Most of the things
that mattered to me

are not around anymore.

I live in here...

and here.

- That's exactly what I mean.

- Mrs. Palfrey!

He's divine!

I can't wait for him
to meet my niece.

Something tells me,
Mrs. Palfrey,

that we'll end up
being relatives.

- Mrs. Post, please don't
frighten the poor woman.

- [Laughing]

- Mrs. Palfrey, hello.

Although we haven't
officially met,

I'm Lorna De Salis,
and this is my son, Willie.

- Oh, how do you do?

- We're staying at
the Claremont for a brief period

until the renovations of our
apartment are complete.

We're theater people.

Oh, we come from generations
of theater people.

And although I have recently
retired from the stage,

Willie runs an amateur dramatic
group for young actors

whom he believes to
hold great promise.

And sometimes I help out.
[Laughing]

Do you think your grandson
might be interested

in joining our little group?

I mean, Willie thinks
he has the makings

of a splendid leading man.

Don't you, dear?
- Oh, Indeed I do, Mother.

- Uh, well, I don't know.

I mean, he's a write--

He's very busy
at the Archives.

- "Archives"?

- Yes, at the British Museum.

- But a face like that

can't be locked away
in the Archives.

It should be seen--
on the stage,

on the box,
on the screen.

- Willie, dear,
now, calm yourself.

Remember your
blood pressure.

[Laughing]

He can be rather
exuberant at times,

but it's what makes him
such a brilliant actor.

Now, do let us know
what your grandson thinks.

- I shall.
- Good night.

- Good evening.

- To meet a young man,
in this day and age,

with such impeccable manners,

tells me more about you,
Mrs. Palfrey, than about him.

- [Chuckles]
Well, thank you, Mr. Osborne.

But I think a little credit
should go to my daughter.

- There's more to you than meets
the eye, Mrs. Palfrey.

I was lucky enough to find

- He left me too early.
We were still in love.

But what he did
by dying before me

was to make me
call on strengths

days on earth.

Oh, but at your age,

Calm down.
It's only my mother.

You have to admit,
I'm a broadminded person.

I don't see my son for months,

and then he comes
and visits me with you,

and I haven't asked for
a single explanation.

- Mrs. Meyer, there is
nothing to explain.

I'm a sort of
honorary grandmother.

Cover your ears.
I'm going to embarrass you.

- I think I'll get
some more tea.

- You know, your son is
a man of many talents,

and he showed me
great kindness

when I was in distress.

I think you should
be proud that

you have brought him up
to be the man he is today,

and in case you were
not aware of it,

you have been often
on his mind.

That is why I was curious

and wanted to meet you.

But please forgive me
if I seem intrusive.

- It might not seem like it,

but I fought to
give him the best.

I never had the luxury of having
a husband to fall back on.

I raised him all by myself,

and I'm damn
proud of it, too.

Oh, I don't regret it
for a single second.

I'd do it all over
again if I had to.

But sometimes things just don't
work out how you hope.

And she... had an agenda.
You do not.

- Oh, I wasn't analyzing.

I... I was simply making
an observation as your friend.

- And a very astute
observation it was.

I was reading this paper
the other day,

and there's this quiz,
a personality quiz,

designed to measure your
capacity for friendship.

- Oh. You mean, a quiz
can determine all that?

- Well, I don't know.
Shall we find out?

- Well, why not?

- Good. Now, let's start
with a toughie.

"Do you prefer to be
a guest or a host?"

- Well, I enjoyed our evening
together at the hotel.

But I must confess
I prefer being here.

- "If you were kept
waiting by a friend

"you had arranged to meet,

"would you, a, wait patiently

"and be forgiving when
he or she arrived;

"b, go on waiting,
but have a row

"when whoever
it was turned up;

or c, give up
and go home angry"?

- Well, I know you wouldn't
keep me waiting, uh...

unless there was
a very good reason,

so I would wait patiently
for you to come

and then enjoy
our time together.

- Not just me. Anyone.

- Well, there isn't
anyone else at the moment.

You're the only one
I can think of.

- I, uh...

I haven't many
friends myself.

One needs money
to have friends.

They've all got
cars and jobs.

- One shouldn't let
one's friends slip away.

- Well, there's very little
I can do about it.

But look, you know,
we can do better than this.

Let's make our own quiz.
- All right.

- Okay, your favorite film.

- Well, that would have
to be "Brief Encounter".

- "Brief Encounter"?
- You've never seen it?

- I may have.
I can't remember.

- If you had,
you'd remember.

I was 18 when
I first saw it.

It was my first date
with Arthur.

And by the end,

we were both weeping
so shamelessly

that there was nothing else
else for us to do,

but fall in love.

- Uh, your favorite place?

- On Saturdays,

before our daughter
Elizabeth was born,

we used to slip away
to the Castle Inn,

which is next door
to the Abbey at Bewley,

and we'd have
a sumptuous dinner

and then spend the rest
of the evening...

together.

[Modest laugh]

in bed until noon,

have a late lunch,

- Uh...

Well, um...

It seems the cat's
out of the bag.

I'm Ludovic Meyer.

- Explain yourself,
young fellow.

- Well, I do a bit
of writing on the side...

- Ah! Nom de plume.

- ...under the name
"Ludovic Meyer."

- Well, why didn't you
tell us in the first place?

We can keep
a secret, you know.

- I should change it
to an English name,

one that sticks in the memory
and is easy to pronounce.

- Yes, I'll consider that.
Where's my grandmother?

- Hello, my Sasa.

- Oh...

I've been... very silly.

Had this little fall.

- Well, you don't need to
worry about anything now.

I'm here.

- I don't want to die

surrounded by
so many strangers.

I need some privacy.

- You're not going to die.

- When Elizabeth comes,
she'll...

she'll see to it that
I have my own room.

- I'll see to it.

- Oh, dear Ludo,

I would... I would love it
if you could.

[Sighing]

I...

I would like
my own nightgowns, too...

and... my book of poetry.

I lie here...

trying to remember...

but I seem to have...

but they all seem to
have gone away.

- "I wandered lonely
as a cloud

that floats on high
o'er vales and hills."

- By Wordsworth.
- Indeed, Mrs. P.

"When all at once
I saw a crowd,

a host, of golden
daffodils;"

Something...

Something...

- "Continuous as..."

- "as the stars that shine...
- Yes.

- ...and twinkle on
the milky way."

I've lost and lost
and lost a line.

It's gone and run away.
[Laughing]

- [quietly laughing]

- "And oft,

"as on my couch I lie

"in vacant

"or in pensive mood,

"they flash upon

"the inner eye

"which is the bliss

"of solitude;

"And then my heart

with pleasure fills..."

And then...

[coughing]

[coughing continues]

- Excuse me, sir, you're
going to have to leave now.

- [Coughing continues]

- Desmond...

is it true?

- What do you mean?

- They say... there might
be complications.

- Pneumonia,
isn't it, Desmond?

- I don't know. You'll
have to ask the doctor.

- They won't let us
in to see her--

even for a little while.

It's only immediate family.
[Sobbing]

But we are her
family, too, Desmond.

[Sobbing]

- Of course you are.

You all are.

It's only for
a little while,

just till she gets better,
which won't be long.

And I think we should
all go home,

and I promise to call you
the moment I hear anything.

- Oh, there you are.

I was wondering
where you were.

- I'm right here.

- I've missed you so much.

I had a beautiful
dream last night.

I saw you and me
standing together

on the day we got married.

Do you remember, Arthur?

- Oh, yes.

Oh, yes, I do.

- I thought you were

the handsomest man
in the whole world.

- And I knew you were
the loveliest girl.

- I would like to do it
all over again.

- We will.

a surprise for you--

[kisses hand]

[sobbing]

- ELIZABETH: You could've at
least told me that she'd died.

- Well, we did leave
several messages, ma'am.

- Yes, but I got back only
in time to hear the message

and catch the train.

Poor Mother. All alone.

- Oh, she wasn't alone.

- Her grandson was
here with her all the time,

and he would read
poetry to her.

- Desmond?
Why, that's impossible.

- I've only just spoken
to him on the phone.

He couldn't be here by now.

- Well, perhaps it was
her other grandson.

- My dear lady,
she only has one grandson.

Desmond!

- Well, madam, there
has been a gentleman

coming in here every day
reading poetry to your mother.

Thank you and goodbye, Sasa.

Forever yours, Ludo.
