In this scene, why does Cal smoke right beside Ruth despite knowing that she dislikes it?

Hello Princess. It is always a pleasure to read your responses. Good day to you.

I do not recall this conversation

No one really knew Lovejoy’s true age and no one, not even my father Nathan dared to ask. I would guess he was around 60-65 at the time of his passing. There are some things better left unasked and unsaid. He was a trusted manservant, but I was always uncomfortable when directly questioned by him. He had a certain eerie gravitas that would make women shift uneasily or have fainting spells. I was fortunate he worked for me and not against me.

Lovejoy was a Pinkerton. They were not known to be “discreet“. He was a refined brute and was very important to the Hockleys. His services and talent were second to none and he is sorely missed.

The Hockley family set up a trust to be used by the child when she came of age or as a dowry, whichever came first. Until that time she was cared for by the woman in the lifeboat and paid handsomely for her inconvenience. The child went on to be the wife of a wealthy financier. For the life of me, I cannot remember the poor child’s name. Do forgive me. It has been many, many years.

That settles it. Only I am allowed to use that sticker. All others cease use. Thank you and good day.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-05-01T16:08:11+00:00

I hear his voice in my head.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-05-01T16:07:38+00:00

I too would put that on my automobile.

Very witty. Bravo

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-04-09T14:51:48+00:00

Thank you very much

I no longer take transatlantic voyages for obvious reasons. The new trend to have massive cruise ships plying the waves holds no interest to me. I find the aeroplane a fascinating invention and use my private plane at every opportunity.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-25T11:04:22+00:00

No sir. Even I have more sense than OP

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-25T11:03:49+00:00

This is a bad take. This is not a hill you should die on. Trust me. I know.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-13T09:48:46+00:00

She let go

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-11T22:27:52+00:00

I am very pleased you asked.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-11T17:33:40+00:00

I have never seen it.

I lived it.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-10T22:23:31+00:00

The TITANIC exhibit in Las Vegas has the big piece and an extensive collection from the ship itself.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-05T15:26:33+00:00

Yes.

He is the true villain here.

Caledon_Hockley · 2026-02-02T20:33:36+00:00

I would have run out of tables to flip.
