00:01My dear, are you sure this is wise?

00:04I'm quite sure it is not.

00:05Mr. Rakes feels it's our only way out of a log jam, and I agree.

00:09So what is his plan?

00:11We're meeting in the park later to finalize details, but I know it's next Friday.

00:18It's a lot to ask.

00:21Go on.

00:22Can we meet here on the day? I'll get my bag to you somehow.

00:25And I'll provide the carriage to take you to Grand Central.

00:28Would you do that?

00:30Why not? I have no fear of scandal, a walking scandal as it is.

00:35Then when we're married, we'll come back to New York and see how the land lies.

00:38After all, there's no law that says we have to stay here.

00:41I do not believe Mr. Rakes will give up New York so easily.

00:45You're wrong. Society means as little to him as it does to me.

00:51Then that is what matters.

00:55Thank you, Edward.

00:58Does the podium look big enough to you?

00:59It's what the van leader asked for.

01:01Good. Good.

01:03And everything's on course downstairs?

01:05It's all under control, ma'am.

01:08I worry that it may be too small.

01:10Take a tray of coffee to the drawing room for Mrs. Russell right away.

01:23Right away, sir.

01:25Have they finished upstairs?

01:26They're finishing now.

01:27Is the mistress pleased?

01:28Is she ever pleased?

01:29Content then.

01:30She's very nervous.

01:31She has nothing to worry about.

01:37Good. The carriage is here.

01:38Yes, ma'am.

01:39I want to arrive before three.

01:40I believe Mrs. Astor is very precise about these things.

01:42It's a quarter past two, ma'am, so I'd say your timing is perfect.

01:46Mrs. Chamberlain will let us meet at her house at ten.

02:02Her carriage will take us to Grand Central.

02:04I'll get a bag to her and you can carry what you need for the night.

02:08But not too much.

02:10You won't be gone long.

02:11Yes, um...

02:13I love you, Marion.

02:15In fact, I don't think I've ever loved you more than I do at this moment.

02:19That's all right, Ben.

02:21Mrs. Astor is not at home, madam.

02:38You gave her my card?

02:39I'm afraid she's not at home.

02:43You didn't tell her about that time in Newport, did you, Mr. Hefty?

02:46Mrs. Astor is not at home.

02:49So you said.

02:51Good day.

02:52Wait for me here.

02:53Of course, ma'am.

02:54I shouldn't be lost.

02:55Welcome, Mrs. Randolph.

02:56Good day, Hefty.

02:58Come right this way.

03:10How's the ball coming along, Mother?

03:12That reminds me.

03:14I'm afraid we must ask Carrie Astor to step down.

03:16What?

03:17It won't be possible for her to perform the dance.

03:19Why not?

03:20Because it won't be possible for me to invite her to the ball.

03:23What are you saying?

03:24I looked in on Mrs. Astor today and she wouldn't accept my call.

03:27I told you.

03:28But I can't have her daughter here when she doesn't receive me.

03:30Perhaps she wasn't there.

03:32A friend of hers was admitted just as I was leaving.

03:34They've been practicing for weeks.

03:36Why didn't you say this sooner?

03:37It never occurred to me Mrs. Astor would let Carrie dance at the ball if she didn't plan to come herself.

03:41But, Mother, Orem Wilson's Carrie's partner.

03:44It's all arranged.

03:45I can't help that.

03:46What about the others?

03:48Angela Skirmerhorn, Sally Drexel, the boys?

03:50Are they all to be turned away if their parents won't come?

03:52I'm afraid so.

03:53Mother, you can't pull the rug from under them now.

03:55You will not say can't to me.

03:56Why shouldn't the girl come on her own if she wants to?

03:59And the rest of the young people, too.

04:00And do you think Mrs. Astor would entertain a young woman whose mother had snubbed her?

04:08Precisely.

04:11Thank you, Church.

04:25What a nice surprise.

04:26I hope this means you've changed your mind.

04:28No, but it's good to see you.

04:30I'm here to collect my clothes.

04:31I'm dying.

04:32This will be so disappointed.

04:33Please give them both my best regards.

04:35Have you made your plans?

04:41We're meeting at Mrs. Chamberlain's.

04:42How kind of her.

04:44Well, that's nice.

04:45I don't suppose you'd do me a favor.

04:48I've got to smuggle my traveling bag to her house and nobody'd notice if you had it.

04:53It's not going to be heavy.

04:54I'll take it there.

04:55I'll be in a cab.

04:56Where are you planning to live?

04:58In Tom's apartment, I suppose.

05:01Unless he's got a better idea.

05:02How are your parents?

05:04My father's in Chicago until next month, but my mother's well.

05:08It's good that you can spend time together before he gets back.

05:11When is the wedding?

05:12Friday.

05:13Same day as Mrs. Russell's ball.

05:15Would you come and see me off?

05:17We're leaving at 10.

05:18If you'd like.

05:20But I do feel sorry for Mrs. Van Ryan and Miss Brooke.

05:23Don't worry.

05:24I'm going to write to Aunt Agnes with the whole story.

05:26But I'll do a letter for Aunt Ada too, so it won't look suspicious.

05:30It's really happening, ma'am.

05:33Yes.

05:36It really is.

05:37Oh, Caroline.

05:38There's a letter for you.

05:39Have to gave it to me.

05:40Who is it from?

05:41Mrs. Russell.

05:42Oh.

05:43I suppose it was the invitation to her wretched ball.

05:44No.

05:45It was to explain why I would not be sent an invitation.

05:46What?

05:47She says I can't come and I can't dance because you would not receive her when she called.

05:48She came at an inconvenient moment.

05:49She says someone else was admitted.

05:50That was Mrs. Randolph.

05:51She wanted to see me alone.

05:52What was I to do?

05:53Would you call on Mrs. Russell now, if I asked you?

05:54I'm sure she's far too busy to waste her time on me.

05:55But that's not true, is it?

05:56I'm sorry?

05:57You wouldn't call on her if your life depended on it.

05:58I worked on the dance for weeks.

05:59I worked on the dance for weeks.

06:00No.

06:01No.

06:02No.

06:03It was to explain why I would not be sent an invitation.

06:04What?

06:05She says I can't come and I can't dance because you would not receive her when she called.

06:06She came at an inconvenient moment.

06:07She says someone else was admitted.

06:08That was Mrs. Randolph.

06:09She wanted to see me alone.

06:10What was I to do?

06:11Would you call on Mrs. Russell now, if I asked you?

06:12She was so busy to waste her time on me.

06:13But that's not true, is it?

06:15I'm sorry?

06:16You wouldn't call on her if your life depended on it.

06:19I worked on the dance for weeks.

06:21Did you think of that?

06:23You must have known she'd drop me when you wouldn't let her into the house.

06:25My dear.

06:26I'm going upstairs.

06:27Carrie?

06:28Caroline!

06:38Oh.

06:39I suppose this means you're really leaving.

06:42I am, Miss Brooke.

06:44I'm very sorry.

06:46You've been so kind.

06:48Not at all.

06:49Do use the front door.

06:52There's no need for you to struggle down to the kitchen and up the basement steps.

07:00Miss Marion has a bag like that.

07:03This is Miss Marion's.

07:05She lent it to me for the move.

07:07You'd never help Miss Marion do anything foolish, would you?

07:12I'd try to persuade her not to do it.

07:15You can count on me for that.

07:16That's not quite the same thing, though, is it?

07:21Goodbye, my dear.

07:23Goodbye, Miss Brooke.

07:24Nainsbourg and Kuiper want to extend their loan.

07:31By how much?

07:32They want another million in a year longer to repay, same terms.

07:37There's nothing wrong with the bank, is there?

07:40There's nothing wrong with the bank, is there?

07:41Not that I'm aware of, but we'll look into it.

07:46It's flattering that the great Julius Kuyper should come with his begging bowl.

07:50Is he so very great?

07:51His wife is.

07:53They say even Mrs. Astor treats her with care.

07:56I don't know about such things.

07:58If you lived with Mrs. Russell, you would.

08:01If that's dinner, I'm afraid Miss Caroline isn't here yet.

08:10Oh, she's not coming down, madam.

08:12She's asked for a tray in her room.

08:16I see.

08:17Would you like me to go up there?

08:19No.

08:20If she's asked for a tray, then a tray she must have.

08:25Is she coming with me to Mrs. Bevan's reception later, do you know?

08:29According to a maid, she's gone to bed, madam.

08:32Oh.

08:35Well then.

08:37I shall go alone.

08:38Is anything the matter?

09:01You told me.

09:04What do you mean?

09:05You seem so distracted nowadays.

09:09Is it Miss Barton's red cross?

09:14Well, something is on your mind.

09:16Or are you going to tell me I'm wrong?

09:20I hope it has nothing to do with Mr. Riggs.

09:23I know Aunt Agnes doesn't like him.

09:25She will like him even less if you're planning some sort of escapade.

09:28She'll come to like him when she decides to get to know him.

09:31Not if you force her hand.

09:32Dear Santita, I don't want you to know the details because I don't want you to be blamed.

09:43Marian.

09:46If you want to marry this man, then come out with it.

09:51Sit through the argument.

09:52Hold to your faith.

09:53And if he's right for you, eventually, it will come to pass.

09:58I haven't got time for eventually.

10:00You will break Agnes' heart.

10:02You know that's not true.

10:04It's her pride we're dealing with here, not her heart.

10:08I can't help blaming Mr. Riggs.

10:11Don't.

10:11We both wanted to wait until we had Aunt Agnes' blessing.

10:16But he hasn't waited.

10:18Has he, dear?

10:20Oscar has invited himself for dinner tomorrow night.

10:24That's nice.

10:31Isn't Henry James a little dense for a young lady?

10:33Well done.

10:41That was a good dinner.

10:45What is it?

10:48Is everything all right?

10:49Not exactly so.

10:51I hope this doesn't mean you're handing in your notice.

10:54No.

10:55But it may result in my dismissal.

10:57That sounds very serious.

11:01You'd better close the doors.

11:08What?

11:09It's true.

11:09He's just a farm boy from Kansas.

11:11Then how did it all start?

11:13He was a merchant seaman.

11:15He left the ship in France,

11:16found a job washing dishes at a restaurant in Cannes.

11:19He trained there.

11:20But when he got back to New York,

11:21he discovered that nobody wanted a cook from Wichita.

11:24They were all looking for a chef from Gay Paris.

11:28And so he became Monsieur Baudin?

11:29He was quite settled into the role when we met him.

11:31What's his real name?

11:33Borden.

11:34Josh Borden.

11:36And why are we being told now?

11:38His wife has tracked him down.

11:39And she wants money?

11:41Worse, she wanted a reconciliation.

11:43She'd found out he was doing well.

11:44No doubt we will be hearing from her soon.

11:46Well, I'm sorry, George,

11:47but we cannot have a chef from Kansas.

11:49We'd be a laughingstock.

11:50But if the food's the same...

11:52You don't know the women of New York.

11:53They're all looking for something about us to ridicule.

11:55And when they hear that we were taken in,

11:57we'd be providing it on a plate.

11:58Literally.

12:02If that's your decision.

12:03It is.

12:04And I want him gone for the ball.

12:06I'll send a message to the agency in the morning

12:07for the best available chef on their books.

12:09I'll give Baudin excellent references.

12:11You needn't look stricken.

12:12It's unfair.

12:14He's a hard worker.

12:15He's been living a lie, George,

12:16and has made us vulnerable to every snob in New York.

12:18We must do it.

12:19So you brought it on your own head.

12:25I couldn't let it go on forever.

12:27We're only a few days away from Mrs. Russell's ball.

12:30My wife thought that strengthened her hand.

12:32I had to stop her.

12:34If you're not Monsieur Baudin,

12:35why are you still talking like him?

12:38Because this is who I have been for years.

12:41And now it's hard to break the habit.

12:43If your name is Josh Baudin and you come from Wichita,

12:47I think you've got to try.

12:53You're right.

12:57You're absolutely right.

12:59So what happens now?

13:01I cook.

13:02Till the new chef arrives and then he takes over.

13:06What will you do about your wife?

13:08I shall try to persuade her to divorce me.

13:10Why didn't you do it years ago when you had nothing?

13:12Because I'm a fool.

13:13I think it's unfair that you have to go.

13:16Especially with the ball.

13:17Please don't take sides over things you don't understand.

13:20Madame has a high mountain to climb.

13:21She cannot afford to be sentimental.

13:29She won't budge.

13:30I've tried everything I can think of.

13:31I promise.

13:33Carrie?

13:34Hello, Mrs. Russell.

13:35Church said you were here.

13:37If you'd rather I didn't call.

13:38Oh, my dear, I hope you understand

13:40why I cannot allow you to perform at the ball.

13:42It is only because...

13:43My mother has offended you, I know.

13:45But you are welcome in this house at any other time.

13:48Would you forgive my mother if she apologized?

13:51I don't think it very lightly, but of course, I'd be delighted.

13:54Your kindness is a beacon of light after the treatment you received.

13:57Thank you, my dear.

13:59And now I must go.

14:01I have a fitting.

14:09Monsieur Charon, welcome.

14:11May I present our household whom you will come to know.

14:14If you wish.

14:18Monsieur Charon, I am Mrs. Bruce, the housekeeper here.

14:21And I have a book of instructions,

14:23which our last chef, Mr. Borden, left to help you with the ball tomorrow night.

14:27Why would I bother with that when he has been sacked?

14:29Mr. Borden was not sacked.

14:31He left by mutual agreement.

14:32And because the ball is almost upon us,

14:35he has done a great deal of preliminary work already.

14:37All of which he has recorded in this notebook.

14:44You had better read it, monsieur.

14:46The mistress has agreed to the menus,

14:48and she will not care for any last-minute deviations.

14:51If the ball is tomorrow, I presume she must take what I give her.

14:55Now, where is my room?

14:58If you would come with me.

15:02It's him versus Mrs. Russell.

15:05What are the odds?

15:06I know where I put my money.

15:07I'll correct it right away, madam.

15:12I thought I heard talking in here.

15:13The ball dress arrived from Paris yesterday.

15:16Miss Gossage has been making the final adjustments.

15:18I can't wait to see it.

15:21How is the ball going?

15:22Acceptances from people I don't want,

15:24and a lot of Aurora's friends, whom I want a little.

15:27Silence from the people I want a lot.

15:30From the parents of the dancers?

15:32Not a squeak from any of them.

15:34What about Mr. McAllister?

15:35He won't decide until he hears which way his mystic rose will jump.

15:39Surely she won't come.

15:40Now you've uninvited her daughter.

15:42It's too late anyway.

15:43The ball is tomorrow.

15:44We'll see.

15:46In the morning, I'll leave after breakfast,

15:48and I may have luncheon with Aurora,

15:49so don't panic if I'm not home by the evening.

15:52Where are you going?

15:52Just paying a few calls.

15:54And who respects a call right after breakfast?

15:57Marion always has such a full dance card.

16:00Remember how worried we were about whether she would find enough to do

16:03when she came to the city?

16:05How silly that seems now.

16:08Ada tells me Miss Scott has been here.

16:10She came for her things.

16:12I assume she's not coming back?

16:14I don't think so, no,

16:15but she sends you both every good wish.

16:18That's something, I suppose.

16:19You're sorry she's gone, Mama.

16:21Why don't you admit it?

16:23My secretary has handed in her notice.

16:25What more is there to say?

16:27That you're sad about it.

16:29Very well.

16:31I'm sad.

16:33She was a great help to me.

16:35Now are you satisfied?

16:41Carrie?

16:42Caroline?

16:46May I come in?

16:47Why do you bother to ask if you're going to push in anyway?

16:52How long will you keep this up?

16:54I could ask you the same question.

16:58Suppose I were to call on Mrs. Russell

17:00and explain that I'm engaged tomorrow night.

17:05Are you?

17:06I can be, if necessary.

17:08She won't accept it.

17:11The trouble is you assume she's weaker than you.

17:14She is weaker than I am in this instance.

17:16Lucy.

17:17Lucy.

17:18Lucy.

21:50Mr. Scott left this in his pocket, ma'am.

21:53Typical man. Not to check.

22:20Thank you for having me here, Mrs. Chamberlain.

22:42I have broken rules I don't agree with all my life.

22:46While we're waiting for Mr. Ray's, what is it?

22:49I've painted this for you as a way of saying thank you for all your help, but...

22:55But what?

22:56I just realized it's like asking for my work to be hung alongside all the old masters.

23:02I assure you, I will value it highly, my dear.

23:09For many reasons.

23:14Thank you, Bannister. Is Miss Marion at home?

23:19I'm afraid she's out, madam.

23:21Aurora? Is that you?

23:23I was looking for Marion.

23:24Come inside, why don't you?

23:26Will Marion be back soon?

23:28No, I don't believe so.

23:30That's a pity.

23:31Why?

23:34What's the matter?

23:35Something I saw at the academy last night.

23:37Marion should know about it.

23:39Are you going to tell me what it is?

23:42It won't bother you, since you don't care for Mr. Rakes.

23:46He was there in the Drexel's box, which is next to ours.

23:50And he was talking.

23:53Well, he was more than talking to Miss Bingham.

23:55Do you know who I mean?

23:57Sissy Bingham?

23:57I don't think so.

23:59She's a niece of Henry Flagler.

24:01She's very rich.

24:02And?

24:02At one point, he leaned over and whispered in her ear.

24:07Well, she was transported.

24:10And every minute after that, she clung to his arm.

24:13I see.

24:15Maybe I'm making too much of it.

24:18You're right.

24:20Marion should know.

24:22Will you tell her tonight?

24:23She needs to know sooner than that.

24:25But where is she?

24:28She's...

24:30She's at the house of Mrs. Chamberlain.

24:34What?

24:35Has she told Aunt Agnes?

24:37No.

24:38And you won't either.

24:40Now go to Mrs. Chamberlain's at once.

24:43As fast as you can.

24:44What?

24:45Just do it.

24:47Marion will explain if she wants to.

24:53Mr. Kuyper?

24:54Mr. Russell.

24:56It's kind of you to see me.

24:57Not at all.

24:59So, shall we get straight to the point?

25:01We're good for the loan.

25:03Yes.

25:04You may have overextended yourselves a little.

25:06But there is nothing fundamentally wrong with Ninesberg and Kuyper.

25:09So I'll have the papers drawn up for signature.

25:12Now, I shan't take up any more of your valuable time.

25:16There is one more thing.

25:18An invitation to a ball my wife is giving this evening.

25:21For you and Mrs. Kuyper.

25:22I look forward to seeing you there.

25:23Alas, with no warning, I'm not sure our diaries will allow it.

25:29I've not made myself clear.

25:31I will see you there, if you want the loan.

25:35You can't be serious.

25:37Don't think you can go elsewhere.

25:38I have a list of reasons why not to invest in your bank, and I will send it to anyone you approach.

25:43Isn't that against the law?

25:45Let's find out.

25:47You are not a gentleman, sir.

25:49That's a subject for another time.

25:53Very well.

25:53I will attend.

25:54But I cannot promise that my wife will.

25:57The loan hinges on her presence.

25:59But suppose she's engaged tonight.

26:02I'm sure when you explain the situation, she will find that she can join us after all.

26:08I am Mrs. Astor.

26:22Perhaps you can ask Mrs. Russell if she could see me for a minute.

26:25But I'm afraid I'm unexpected.

26:32If you'd be so kind.

26:34Yes, ma'am.

26:35Of course, ma'am.

26:41Mrs. Astor is in the hall.

26:44What?

26:45She wonders if you have time to see her.

27:08I hope this isn't a bad moment.

27:09Not at all.

27:10Won't you sit down?

27:11I gather my daughter Caroline will not now dance at your ball tonight.

27:17Indeed, she is no longer invited.

27:20Is that correct?

27:21It is.

27:23Mrs. Russell, I'm afraid there's been a misunderstanding.

27:27When you were good enough to pay a call on me,

27:29I had promised myself to a friend who urgently wished to speak to me alone.

27:33There is no reason here for us to fall out.

27:37Forgive me, but if that were the case, you could have called on me another day.

27:41Or a written note to explain why I was turned away while others were admitted.

27:45Not others.

27:46Another was admitted.

27:49Ah.

27:53Well, I have paid a call now.

27:55You have dropped by at a time when no one else was likely to be here.

27:59Won't you consider letting Carrie be included in the fun, after all?

28:06Would you come with her?

28:08It is such a difficult time of year for me.

28:10If you wish for me to bring your very charming daughter back into the fold,

28:13then you must accompany her.

28:15My being here now is not enough.

28:17People know of the snub.

28:19So to undo the hurt, you must attend the ball tonight.

28:22And you must let people know you will be here.

28:24You will need to move quickly.

28:25I don't have time to do that.

28:27Oh, I think you do.

28:28And I have one more request.

28:30I want you to ensure that my neighbors, Mrs. Van Rijn and her sister, will attend.

28:33Why bother with them?

28:35I'm tired of being cut on my own doorstep.

28:38Make them come.

28:39I don't see how.

28:41Then you will have to explain it to Carrie.

28:43I like her very much, by the way.

28:45I'm sorry she won't be here.

28:48Well, at least we know where we stand.

28:52Nothing would give me more pleasure than for you to change your mind.

29:00But you will not change yours.

29:03No.

29:07Mrs. Astor is leaving.

29:08Your carriage is ready, ma'am.

29:25Mm-hmm.

29:25Well, Mrs. Bruce, what does that mean for the mistress?

29:37Time will tell, Mr. Watson.

29:39Time will tell.

29:42I don't believe you.

29:43What do you mean?

29:45Well, of course I believe you.

29:46I just don't think it can have been quite how it looked.

29:49Then where is he?

29:50When was he expected?

29:51Hours ago.

29:52But it may...

29:53It may have been difficult for him to get away.

29:56Wouldn't he have sent someone with the message?

29:59Maybe he's been hurt.

30:00Unless he's been killed, he could have sent a warning.

30:04All right, well, I'll go to his office to see if something's happened.

30:07Will he be at his office?

30:08Take the carriage and start with his office.

30:11Maybe someone there will know where he might be found.

30:13But suppose he's on his way here.

30:15I'll look after him until you return.

30:17Do you want me to come with you?

30:18You've already wasted quite enough of your time, isn't it?

30:20I'll go.

30:22That was the original plan.

30:27Is there anything more I can do?

30:34No.

30:36But thank you for receiving me.

30:38And thank you for your kindness to my cousin.

30:41May I ask you to keep silent about the whole affair?

30:52Marion's reputation.

30:53Be safe with me.

30:54Don't worry.

30:54But if I don't maintain standards, what is the point of me?

31:06Of course.

31:07But what we need to determine now is whether Mrs. Russell will support those standards or undermine them.

31:14How can you ask?

31:15You know I follow your lead to a slavish degree.

31:19But you want to go to the ball.

31:22We cannot hope to keep out the new people entirely.

31:26Or they'd form their own society that would exclude us.

31:30You know this.

31:31Yes.

31:33And if it looks as if her children might make decent marriages, then I...

31:36They'll make decent marriages without our help.

31:39They're good looking and they smell of money.

31:41The sweetest scent I know.

31:43If I were you, I'd bring them in now and gain the credit.

31:47But it's tonight.

31:49Send a note to her this minute.

31:51And another to Agnes Van Ryn.

31:54Then write to anyone else you can think of.

31:57You mean you don't think that I can beat Mrs. Russell at my own game?

32:01My dear Mystic Rose, I fear if you try, it might be at the cost of your own dignity.

32:10Which translated means you want to go to her ball.

32:19This can't be right.

32:21What's that?

32:22She's taken leave of her senses.

32:24Who?

32:26Lena Astor.

32:27Listen, if you consider yourselves to be my friends, you will attend Mrs. Russell's ball this evening.

32:33Really?

32:34Don't you dare sound cheerful.

32:36I am curious about that house.

32:39Really?

32:39You are glad to be ordered to march into hell and to dance with the devil?

32:43I wonder sometimes if you don't slightly overstate your arguments.

32:47We cannot be forced to dance.

32:50So are we to quarrel with Mrs. Astor or Mrs. Russell?

32:53Well...

32:54I do not wish to quarrel with Mrs. Astor, so we will obey her now.

32:58But reserve the right to quarrel with Mrs. Russell later.

33:02I've been trying to compose a letter.

33:13Well, now you won't have to.

33:14I assume we're not getting married today?

33:20Marion...

33:20Just tell me.

33:23Was it all pretend?

33:25No.

33:26Of course not.

33:27I love you very much.

33:28But as New York smiled on you, you came to see that there were others who could offer you so much more than I could.

33:33The truth is...

33:34I'll tell you what the truth is.

33:35The more you pushed for our elopement, the more you felt your desire for it slipping away.

33:40I suppose I thought that if I could only make it happen, then things would come right.

33:44But I began to suspect that if we did marry, we would have no armor for the battle that lay ahead.

33:50We'd have no money, you mean.

33:53We know New York now, you and I.

33:54There's a life to be lived here, and a good life.

33:59But two penniless strangers from out of town could not have hoped to live it.

34:02But Miss Bingham can make sure of that life for you?

34:06Well, why not?

34:08She won't suit the old crowd, but she'll do well enough with the new, and her fortune is more than ample for both of you.

34:14I don't admire myself for it.

34:20On that note, I'll say goodbye.

34:24Can we at least part as friends?

34:33Not quite.

34:36But not as enemies either.

34:39I don't like bitterness.

34:43You're a marvelous person, Marion.

34:46Do you know that?

34:48I shall take it as my consolation prize.

34:54Come away.

35:05Come away.

35:08You're back to the carriage, so there's no need to go back to Mrs. Chamberlain's.

35:12Go home, and I'll return to Brooklyn.

35:16The letters.

35:17I must stop Larry from delivering the letters.

35:25Of course.

35:26I have to say you wanted me.

35:37Only to witness my defeat.

35:40You have won.

35:41Adelheid said you were looking for me.

35:44Only to tell you that Carrie Aster is coming tonight after all, so you will perform the dance as it was rehearsed.

35:49Send messages now to your friends that I will be there tonight, starting with the parents of the other dancers.

35:54You won't regret it.

35:56I regret it already.

35:58Oh, Mother.

36:00What am I to do?

36:02I'm alone since your father's never here.

36:08How can I manage without my darling daughter?

36:10Bannister, there's a bag of clothes in the carriage.

36:23I need to sort them for the missionary barrel.

36:25Will you ask John to take them up to my room?

36:26Of course, Miss Marion.

36:27And when Mr. Russell arrives, please ask him to wait and come and fetch me.

36:31He's already here.

36:32What?

36:32I've just shown him into the drawing room.

36:34Am I too late?

36:38Heavens, is there a fire?

36:40Marion, you're back.

36:41Too late for what?

36:42Why shouldn't she be back?

36:43What's going on?

36:44How was your day?

36:46Not all it could have been.

36:47Mr. Russell, how kind of you to come by.

36:51You were saying you were here on a mission, Mr. Russell?

36:54Does it concern those envelopes?

36:55No.

36:56What?

36:57I'm sure Mr. Russell went out to catch the evening post and thought he'd look in to see

37:00how you are.

37:02Isn't that so, Mr. Russell?

37:05Absolutely.

37:06But now it's clear you're both as well as I could hope.

37:10So I'll be on my way.

37:11To the mailbox.

37:12Isn't that nice?

37:14I'll see you out.

37:18I feel as if I've been watching a play in a foreign language.

37:23They're young.

37:25Is that an observation?

37:26Or an excuse?

37:28Both.

37:29Are you going to tell me what that is about?

37:32Someday, maybe.

37:35But thank you.

37:37I am so grateful.

37:38Of course.

37:43Are you coming to Gladys' ball?

37:45I may regret it, but I suppose I am.

37:48Then I claim a waltz as my payment.

37:50Ha, ha.

37:56When was it written?

38:08Three weeks ago.

38:10Is there an address?

38:11No.

38:12Just the date and a name.

38:14Mrs. Wade.

38:16The postmark's from Philadelphia.

38:18See for yourself.

38:19The boy is doing well.

38:24And we are to assume this boy is my son.

38:32Why else would your father have made inquiries?

38:36Did you know?

38:37I did not.

38:39I accepted what I was told when he brought you home.

38:43He stole my child.

38:45And all the time he was working and sitting down to dinner with us and living a lie.

38:51He wasn't in his right mind.

38:53Please don't make excuses for him.

38:55I'm not.

38:56But I don't know what good can come of this.

38:59We won't find the boy and Arthur won't help us.

39:04Us?

39:06Have you come over to my side?

39:09I've always been on your side.

39:12My baby is alive, Mama.

39:15My baby is alive and I want him back.

39:26Oh, God, help us.

39:29Oh, God, help us.

39:59Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop Chandler.

40:22Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Drexel.

40:38I'm afraid there's trouble in the kitchens with Mr. Show.

40:42Can you sort it out?

40:43Of course.

40:43It really is.

40:46I hope you have a lovely...

40:47Mr. and Mrs. Robert McNeil.

40:52Mr. McNeil, Mrs. McNeil, how wonderful to see you.

41:01Thank you for your pleasure.

41:03Mr. Russell, I believe you have met Mr. McNeil.

41:06May I present the floor?

41:07Mr. and Mrs. Ockett Mills.

41:11How long has he been like this?

41:21It's been coming on, Mr. Church.

41:23How much of the supper is ready?

41:24They've got the cold, but they've still to cook the hot.

41:26Monsieur Charon did not want the food kept warm for too long.

41:30Monsieur Charon.

41:31Can you hear me?

41:37How much time do we have before the supper is served?

41:39Three to four hours.

41:40You, take this note to the address I've written there.

41:47Yes, sir.

41:47You, and you two, put Mr. Charon to bed.

41:52Are we really determined on this?

41:59Marion looks so beautiful.

42:01It would be a shame not to show her off.

42:04How are you feeling, my dear?

42:05Just dandy.

42:08How can she have got round Lena?

42:11I never believed in black magic, but I'm having my doubts.

42:14Did Mrs. Astor explain why she wanted you to come?

42:17She didn't explain it.

42:18She ordered it.

42:19As simple as that.

42:20I suppose you don't have to go just because she said so.

42:24Never overestimate your own power, my dear.

42:27It's always a mistake.

42:28So, Mrs. Russell won the battle after all.

42:37I'm not so sure it's over yet.

42:39You wish you'd been invited?

42:42I suppose.

42:44What about you?

42:45Maybe we will be one day.

42:48After all, this is America.

42:50Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bain.

43:00We opened the house.

43:03Mr. Russell.

43:04Mr. and Mrs. Julius Piper.

43:06How did you manage that?

43:11I just asked them nicely.

43:14Good evening.

43:15Good evening.

43:16I'm so glad you could join us.

43:17We found our diaries.

43:19Where'd allow it?

43:20Thank you for coming.

43:24This is Arnold Van Ryn, Miss Brooke, and Miss Marion.

43:28Aunt Agnes.

43:29Aunt Ada.

43:30What are you doing here?

43:32You may well ask.

43:33Lena Astor wrote saying it was a test of friendship.

43:36But now that we're here, there are so many familiar faces.

43:40No doubt they've all had their hands held in the flame.

43:43Mama.

43:44You are the last woman on Earth I thought I'd see tonight.

43:47And you're the last man on Earth I'd allow to criticize me.

43:50Mrs. Cavendish, then you...

43:52People are going through to the ballroom.

43:55They won't start dancing until I say.

43:57What are you waiting for?

43:58William Backhouse Astor.

44:01And Miss Caroline Astor.

44:05That.

44:16Mrs. Astor, how good of you to come.

44:18How kind you are to receive me, Mrs. Russell.

44:21Mr. Ward McCallister.

44:26Mrs. Astor.

44:28Mrs. Russell.

44:30Mr. McCallister.

44:31Well, here we are.

44:33All of us together.

44:35What could be nice.

44:37Have a lovely time.

44:39Let's see.

44:39Shall we?

44:41We're so fucking nervous.

44:46No.

44:47What is it?

44:49Go back.

44:50Bettie.

44:52What's going on?

45:05The party.

45:06How perfectly.

45:38How charming they look.

45:48I think so.

45:50Didn't it ever worry you that I might decide to destroy you after this evening?

45:56Because I could, if I chose.

45:58I don't doubt it, but you won't.

46:01Why not?

46:03Because we're too alike.

46:05We're what?

46:06It's true.

46:07And I will be a good friend to you if you will let me.

46:21That was nice of you.

46:23I've already said, if necessary, we can quarrel with her later.

46:27Come and dance with me.

46:46But I have to change my dress.

46:48We can do that later.

46:49Dance with me, and I'll leave you alone for the rest of the evening.

46:52You'll have to wait while I change.

46:55I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

46:57And I've had enough of being told what to do.

46:59I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:04I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:06I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:07I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:08I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:09I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:10I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:11I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:12I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:13I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

47:14I'm out now, Mr. Van Romp.

48:15You're quite the man about town these days.

48:20Aurora, I see Mrs. Russell.

48:23Let's pay our compliments to the hostess.

48:25I'm so sorry.

48:35I don't think you'd be here.

48:37I assumed your aunt wouldn't allow it.

48:39I wouldn't have come if I'd known her.

48:41Had you decided to break your word?

48:43Did you know when we met in the park?

48:48No.

48:51And I meant it when I said I love you.

48:55And I believe you.

48:58But love is not always enough.

48:59Miss Brooke.

49:25You promised me a waltz.

49:30I saw you talking to Mr. Rakes.

49:33Oh, yes.

49:35He's just someone I used to know.

49:37Let's dance.

49:38Oh, yes.

49:40Yes.

49:41Oh, yes.

49:42Oh, yes.

50:14Do you think Mrs. Astor will accept your hand of friendship?

50:27No one would believe it, but who knows?

50:29Well, that's all for tomorrow.

50:31Tonight for the bell of a ball.

50:41She looks beautiful.

50:44She looks beautiful.

51:14I don't know.

51:18You beat me to it.

51:40Not by much.

51:44You seem to be making headway with Gladys.

51:49So did you.

51:52Why are you scowling?

51:54You're so easy to tease.

52:00I think I can do it, John.

52:03I think I can reel her in.

52:07And don't worry.

52:08Nothing will change.

52:19Dorothy!

52:24There you are.

52:26Did you not hear me calling from downstairs?

52:30We heard.

52:32Well, I've been traveling all night, and I expect a warmer welcome than that.

52:38Your mother's cable said you were back, but this looks like you're leaving us again.

52:43We're both leaving.

52:45Where are you going?

52:48This is my house, and somebody had better answer me.

52:52I come back and I...

52:53We know father.

52:56Know what?

53:01You've no proof.

53:03You don't know what we have.

53:04We have proof the boy didn't die.

53:07We believe he was adopted, and you knew.

53:09If you're expecting me to say I'm sorry...

53:11We'd never be so foolish as to expect that.

53:13Then what do you want from me?

53:16We're catching an early train to Philadelphia.

53:19We intend to find my son.

53:22And we'd like your assistance.

53:24You won't get it.

53:26And you won't find him.

53:28Leave him alone.

53:30He's happy now and settled.

53:31I made sure of that.

53:33Do you think it wasn't hard for me?

53:35You should be ashamed of yourself.

53:38Why?

53:38Because I freed our daughter and our grandson from a life of shame?

53:43Everything I've done was done for Peggy and the boy.

53:46I don't want to be free of my own child.

53:49Then ruin yourself if you must.

53:51But you'll do it without any help from me.

54:03Shall we say goodbye here?

54:14I think I must be allowed to see you safely to your front door.

54:18Especially after tonight's bruising.

54:21I shouldn't have told you.

54:22Of course you should.

54:25How do you feel?

54:27About Mr. Rakes?

54:30I'm not sure.

54:31You're rather numb, really.

54:35Numb is good.

54:37Just look after yourself when it wears off.

55:01You offered Borden his job back without speaking to me?

55:05Well, madam, I...

55:05I told him to, my dear.

55:08I'm a man of simple principles.

55:09I reward loyalty.

55:10I punish traitors.

55:11Well, they'll laugh when they know we have a chef from Kansas.

55:14Let them.

55:15Church summoned him, and he came to our rescue at once.

55:17Thank you, Monsieur Borden.

55:24Thank you, Borden, for stepping in at the last minute and saving the show.

55:29I was glad to do it.

55:32And we hope you will stay on.

55:35But is Mrs. Russell content to have a chef from Wichita, Kansas?

55:44Couldn't we just call it the Middle West?

55:46You're back.

56:12Did you enjoy it, in spite of Mr. Rakes?

56:20The Flagler party left when you did, so the evening picked up.

56:24Mm.

56:26It was kind of you to let me stay on.

56:30Will you ever explain what happened?

56:35Someday.

56:36Maybe, but not now.

56:38It hurts too much.

56:51You're very welcome here.

56:54And things will get better.

56:56You'll see.

56:57You still have most of New York to explore.
