Page "The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934 film)" Paragraph 8

Months pass ; Ba is able to walk slowly and to go downstairs to see Robert.

Edward warns her not to overdo it and tells her it's just a temporary recovery.

The doctors prescribe a trip to Italy for the winter.

Edward is considering it, when chatty Cousin Bella ( Marion Clayton ) spills the beans that Ba's relationship with Robert isn't just a meeting of minds.

Edward immediately vetoes the trip and leaves the house, saying he's got another idea that may help her get the fresh air and sunshine she needs without having to leave the country.

While he's out, Robert and Ba meet in Kensington Gardens.

He assures her that he will take her himself to Italy and that she should be ready by the end of the month.

She says she'll think about it.
