Howard's End: "So this is the famous office"

Margaret stops by Henry's office

[@asb7395]

I love that little moment at 0:34 where Charles enters to deliberately put an end to Henry and Margaret's capering. Henry needs a moment to recover from his embarrassment whereas Margaret is self-possessed enough to be able to address Charles in a normal way. It's ironic that Henry's the one with the stiff upper lip but when confronted with embarrassment or shame (as when encountering Jackie), it's Henry who loses his composure for the moment whereas Margaret is able to face these situations with apparent equanimity.

Great observation.
