10:00It's a shame, sir. I take advantage of my innocence.
10:11But truly, truly, did you think of Hans and Becky?
10:16Yes, truly, I did. And what's more important?
10:24I'm sure he has a warm heart.
10:27And that's worth more than anything. Far more than riches.
10:30Oh, I believe Joseph is quite rich.
10:33He's the collector of boggly wallow, you know.
10:37No need to rub so hard, Mrs. Perkinson.
11:00What a wonderful picture.
11:18How brave you must be to sit up so high.
11:20Oh, didn't know about that, didn't know about that.
11:26What a big...
11:36...nose he has.
11:37No, he's a trunk.
11:41We call that his trunk.
11:43Oh.
11:44Yeah.
11:46And in India, do all the gentlemen ride about on elephants every day as they do on horses here?
11:53No, not every day.
11:56But for tiger hunting and such like...
11:58Tigers?
11:58You go tiger hunting, truly.
12:02I should be terrified.
12:04And have you shot any?
12:08All or less, you know, um...
12:10I'd like to see the tiger could get the better of Joss Sedley.
12:14That girl's setting her cap at our Joss.
12:22The heartful little creature.
12:25She'll go tomorrow.
12:26Well, I shouldn't.
12:27She's in a mind to him.
12:29That boy's destined to be a prey to women.
12:32She has no breeding, John.
12:35Her father was only a drawing master.
12:38We haven't all that much breeding ourselves, Mrs. Sedley.
12:41Mama, Miss Sharp has no kind parents to arrange these delicate matters for her.
12:53Joss, do you remember promising to take me to Vauxhall Gardens when I was old enough?
12:59Me?
13:00No, never.
13:02Yes, you did.
13:04And now would be the perfect time when Becky is with us.
13:06Oh, delightful.
13:08I've always longed to see Vauxhall.
13:10Oh, and, uh, at your service, Miss Sharp.
13:14Hold on, hold on.
13:15The girl should have a gentleman of peace.
13:18Emmy, send round to number 96.
13:21And ask George Osborne if he'll come.
13:24Oh, is the regiment returned?
13:26Yes, I heard it in the club this morning.
13:28But do you think it would be proper of me to invite him?
13:31Of course it would.
13:32You've been sweethearts since you were children, haven't you?
13:34Papa, you mustn't talk so before, Miss Sharp.
13:47Joss, has this Mr. George Osborne really been any sweethearts since you were little?
13:52No.
13:53Papa loves to tease me.
13:55But, you know, I have known him ever so long.
13:58Papa helped Mr. Osborne, George's father, to get started in business.
14:02And I think he and Mr. Osborne have always hoped and intended that one day George and I...
14:06And, indeed, I've always liked George more than anyone.
14:11He's the sweetest, kindest, bravest.
14:15Oh, Becky, I believe he's the best of men.
14:20Is he very handsome?
14:21I think so.
14:23I think he's handsomer than any man I've ever set eyes on.
14:26He's a lieutenant in the 130th, you know.
14:30Oh, Becky.
14:31What is it?
14:32There, it is he.
14:35Whoa.
14:36He's a turn-up.
14:37I was just coming to call.
14:43This is my friend, Miss Sharp.
14:44Delighted to make your acquaintance, Miss Sharp.
14:47Thank you, sir.
14:47Hello, Joss, how are you?
14:48Oh, I'm...
14:49Well, now you ask my liver aid to...
14:51Have you come to heal, sir?
14:56Yes, we were planning a little outing tomorrow evening,
14:59Amelia, Miss Sharp and I, to Vauxhall Gardens.
15:02Care to join us?
15:03Vauxhall Gardens, capital idea, Joss.
15:05Well, are we all ready?
15:06I've remembered who you are, Miss Sharp.
15:07Your, er...
15:08Father was drawing-master at Pinkerton's, wasn't he?
15:10And you were engaged to, er...
15:11talk French to the girls.
15:11Am I right?
15:12Yes, sir, quite right.
15:14And soon I'm to leave all my friends behind me to become a governess.
15:19Sir Pitt has summoned me early.
15:20So I shall be quite beneath the notice of fine gentlemen like yourself and Mr Sedley.
15:25I say, now, do yous take it that's not honour?
15:27I mean, er...
15:28Oh, by the way, I hope there's room.
15:30I've invited Captain Dobbin of our regiment to go with us to Vauxhall.
15:35God knows he is no Adonis.
15:36But he's, er...
15:37wonderfully useful for carrying shawls, finding waiters and so on.
15:41Captain Dobbin.
16:01Sorry, I'm late, George.
16:03Amelia, I don't think you remember.
16:04Sorry, I'm late, George.
16:09Amelia, I don't think you remember. Captain William Dobbin of the 130th.
16:12And this is Miss Rebecca Sharp.
16:18Well, come on, Dobbin. What are you staring at, you gawky?
16:22I had not thought that Miss Sedley would have grown up to be so beautiful.
16:29Oh, good God, man. Why shouldn't you have done?
16:32And there's another lady present, William.
16:34Oh, Miss Sharp. I do beg your pardon. I didn't...
16:37Granted, I'm sure.
16:38We all have to forgive, Dobbin. He's the clumsiest man alive.
16:42But there's not a finer fellow in the service.
16:44But I remember you, Miss Sedley, from when you were growing up as a small child.
16:47I remember you, Captain Dobbin.
16:49Indeed, I always had an idea that you were at least seven foot high.
16:54Well, no. Ain't that touching.
16:56Miss Sedley?
16:57Miss Sharp.
17:04Miss Sharp.
17:05Miss Sharp.
17:05Miss Sharp.
17:05Miss Sharp.
17:06Miss Sharp.
17:07Miss Sharp.
17:07Miss Sharp.
17:07Miss Sharp.
17:08Miss Sharp.
17:09Miss Sharp.
17:09Miss Sharp.
17:09Miss Sharp.
17:09Miss Sharp.
17:10Miss Sharp.
17:10Miss Sharp.
17:10Miss Sharp.
17:11Miss Sharp.
17:11Miss Sharp.
17:12Miss Sharp.
17:12Miss Sharp.
17:13Miss Sharp.
17:13Miss Sharp.
17:13Miss Sharp.
17:14Miss Sharp.
17:14Miss Sharp.
17:15Miss Sharp.
17:16Miss Sharp.
17:17Miss Sharp.
17:18Miss Sharp.
17:19Miss Sharp.
17:20Miss Sharp.
17:21Miss Sharp.
17:22Miss Sharp.
17:23Miss Sharp.
17:24Miss Sharp.
17:25Miss Sharp.
17:26Miss Sharp.
17:27Miss Sharp.
17:28Miss Sharp.
17:29Miss Sharp.
17:30Miss Sharp.
17:31Miss Sharp.
17:32Miss Sharp.
17:34I say, Dobbin, just look to the shawls and things, there's a good fellow, and make sure
17:52we get a decent table for supper. If we get separated, we'll all meet there. Now, Miss
17:57Sharp, don't do any junk joss astray.
18:04And did you ever think of me, George, when you were so far away?
18:24Did I ever think of you? Every hour of every day, Annie.
18:30Oh, George.
18:34Help me! Help!
18:44Help me! Help!
18:48Woo!
18:49Woo!
18:51Woo!
18:52Yeah!
18:53Woo!
18:54Woo!
18:56Woo!
18:57Woo!
19:28So, what is there besides tigers and elephants?
19:33Oh, parades, you know, dole bars.
19:39They're like gatherings of the clans.
19:42And balls.
19:43And what sort of people go to the balls?
19:46Too many Scotsmen, I can tell you that.
19:50Yes, I can't abide as Scotsmen, you know.
19:54And some damn fine pretty ladies, too.
19:56Oh, but...
19:58What did you say?
20:02It's precious few of them as pretty as you, Becky.
20:06Oh, you mustn't say such things, for I'm sure you don't mean them.
20:12Indeed, I do mean them, Becky.
20:14I dare say you've said them to a score of girls before.
20:17No, not I.
20:18Well, I'll believe you, then.
20:26Oh, how I should love to see India.
20:31Should you?
20:32Oh, I should.
20:35Oh, well.
20:37Yeah.
20:39Stranger things have happened.
20:40Mr. Sedley.
20:43Joseph.
20:45What do you mean?
20:52What a fright.
20:54Good Lord.
20:55Well, it's already.
20:57That means it's supper time.
20:59You're induced hungry, ain't you?
21:03Starving.
21:03And the governor himself, there's Lord Minter, you know.
21:14Fine man.
21:15He knows me well.
21:17He says, in front of them all, you know.
21:20Nabobs and rajas, the whole panjandrum.
21:24No, he says.
21:26We won't begin without Tiger Sedley.
21:29Tiger Sedley?
21:31Who's that?
21:32Says the Nawab of Pertudi.
21:34Why, the collector of Bogly Wallows, says Minter.
21:37A very good friend of mine.
21:39I'm not going hunting without my friend Tiger Sedley.
21:43Because he can shoot tigers.
21:46Bang, bang.
21:48Go in, back in.
21:50I do go to it.
21:53Tiger Sedley, they call me that, you know.
21:56Because I shoot tigers.
22:00Those poor tigers.
22:02I'm surprised there's any left alive.
22:05There's plenty left, you know.
22:07India's full of them.
22:09When I go to...
22:11If I should go to India,
22:14I'm sure I would feel safe with you, Joseph.
22:20Yes.
22:22Yes.
22:22Let's have a bowl of Wreck Punch.
22:25Waiter.
22:29Waiter.
22:33Find a way to Tobin.
22:38Becky.
22:41Excuse us, gentlemen.
22:42Of course.
22:43Where are they going?
22:54They've gone to piss, Joss.
22:55Ladies do it too, you know.
22:57Now?
22:59What are you up to with that little governess, you rogue?
23:02Nothing disreputable, George.
23:05I say, she's as fine a girl as ever I saw.
23:08She can speak French better than...
23:11Better than Lady Minto.
23:14I wade it should be a sensation of the Calcutta War.
23:18You can see for yourself.
23:20Lord knows how,
23:21but somehow the poor girl's fallen madly in love with me.
23:24Damn me, I shouldn't be surprised if I popped a question tonight.
23:28And what question would that be, Joss?
23:30Now, George.
23:33Well, I asked the girl to marry me.
23:34What else?
23:37Waiter, rack punch!
23:39Only more times.
23:40And how long have you known her, Joss?
23:42What's that got to do with it?
23:44Joss Sedley is a man of decision.
23:47If I were you, I'd sleep on it.
23:48In my view,
23:49young Becky Sharp is not the sort of girl
23:51one has to marry,
23:54if you see what I mean.
23:56I don't know what you mean, sir.
23:58I don't care to.
24:00Becky Sharp is an angel.
24:03I don't care who he is we say, sir.
24:06Waiter, rack punch!
24:08How many more times?
24:08Rack punch for the crack jake finder!
24:11Then let's see he walk the eye wire!
24:16I can hold my little, sir, as well as any man alive!
24:19Whoa!
24:20At last!
24:23This is the stuff.
24:25I say, Joss, don't you think you've had enough?
24:28Nonsense!
24:29Who ever went to Vauxhall and never had a bowl of rack punch?
24:33Well, it may make him incapable of the other sort of folly.
24:38He'll be incapable of anything at all in half an hour.
24:42That's what you think about getting him home.
24:44Hmm, excellent.
24:44If you see to that, old friend, I'll look after the young ladies.
24:47How's that?
24:48Fair division of labour?
24:52And do you really think he would declare himself tonight?
24:55I think he was on the brink of it just before the fireworks.
24:58Perhaps a little rack punch will give him the courage.
25:00Becky, think if we were to be married together,
25:02I would be so happy.
25:04Oh, Lord, now what's the matter?
25:06I'll give you that jacket!
25:07I will!
25:08Oh, there you are, my dear.
25:10This little bit of darling.
25:12Stand we do!
25:13Stand we!
25:14Jason, please, bring me down!
25:18Come on, Joss.
25:20Call me Tiger.
25:22Come on, Tiger, let's get him.
25:30I'm sure he'll be back here first thing in the morning to see you, Becky.
25:33Well, I wish he could take his liquor as well as he takes his curry.
25:38And how did Emmy fare this evening?
25:41Oh, I was so happy.
25:43Is he not the very best and most beautiful man?
25:47Well, he's very handsome, as to the rest.
25:51Well, I hope you get what you deserve.
25:57And I pray that I don't.
26:01He must propose tomorrow.
26:03Oh, there you are, Joseph.
26:10Oh, thank you, Dobbin.
26:14You're a good chap.
26:18Oh, Lord.
26:20That rack punch is the farthest person.
26:22I should never drink alcohol again, Dobbin.
26:28And I advise you not to.
26:30Morning, Sedley.
26:31How are you?
26:32No burns broken?
26:34Morning, Dobbin.
26:36Morning, George.
26:36I say, Joss, there's a hackney coachman outside with a black eye and a tied-up jaw who says you'll have the law on you.
26:42Law?
26:43What do you mean?
26:44For thrashing him last night.
26:46You hit out like Molyneux.
26:49The duty sergeant says he never saw a man go down so straight.
26:52I believe I am very terrible when roused.
26:56Oh, Lord.
26:57Can we buy him off, do you think of it?
26:59Why didn't you stop me, Dobbin?
27:01You.
27:04Terrible.
27:04You could hardly stand and alone fight.
27:09The whole Dobbin here had to carry you upstairs like a baby, didn't you, Dobbin?
27:13It's true.
27:14And before that, you had the whole of Vauxhall Gardens laughing at you.
27:19You were as drunk as a fiddler's bitch, man.
27:22You made a complete show of yourself.
27:25Your sister was quite disgusted with you.
27:28Dobbin and I were ashamed to be seen with you, weren't we, Dobbin?
27:31All right, George, steady on.
27:32And as for that pert little miss, I shouldn't think she'll ever speak to you again.
27:38Or even look in your general direction.
27:41Do you remember anything concerning her, Joss?
27:44Do you remember putting your hands round her waist?
27:47And twirling her round and calling her your dearest diddle-diddle-darling?
27:55Remember that, Joss?
27:58Oh, no.
28:01And then you fell down.
28:03The first time, that is.
28:05You promised a visitor this morning, yeah?
28:18Should I go round, do you think, and beg your pardon?
28:24If I were you,
28:26I'd leave the country.
28:28I wouldn't show my face within a hundred mile of her.
28:33Write her a note
28:34and pack your bags.
28:37That's my advice.
28:40I'll take the message round for you.
28:45Yes.
28:47Yes.
28:48Perhaps that's best.
28:52Dobbin, could you lend me pen and paper?
28:55Oh, Lord.
29:00A punch is very bad stuff.
29:07I thought you were very hard on poor Sedley, Osborne.
29:10Why should I spare him?
29:12The great baby.
29:13And I don't like the little schoolgirl ogling
29:15and making love to him.
29:17Hang it, the family's low enough without her.
29:20A governess is all very well,
29:22but I'd rather have a lady for my sister-in-law.
29:25It's not a crime to be poor, George.
29:29Where is he, then?
29:31What have you done with him?
29:33I hope you realise what a prize you've got in Miss Sedley.
29:36She's...
29:38She's an angel, George.
29:41An angel?
29:43Yes.
29:45Well, who should know that better than I?
29:47I hope you could have seen him this morning.
29:54Moaning...
29:55Look, morning, Michelle.
29:57Moaning.
29:58Rising on the sofa.
30:00Lolling his tongue out to the doctor.
30:04Who?
30:05Who do you think?
30:06Becky?
30:09Becky?
30:11Joseph's going away.
30:13Dear Amelia,
30:15I leave town today
30:16for Cheltenham.
30:19Pray excuse me, if you can,
30:20to the amiable Miss Sharp
30:22for my conduct at Vauxhall
30:24and entreat her to pardon and forget
30:26every word I may have uttered
30:28when excited by that fatal supper.
30:31And I'm truly yours,
30:33Joss Sedley.
30:36Oh, Becky, I'm so sorry.
30:41Too ashamed to face you, Miss Sharp.
30:44Nothing to be done about it.
30:46And does he act upon the counsel
30:49of his friends, Lieutenant Osborne?
30:53No.
30:54Indeed, Miss Sharp.
30:56Dobbin and I did everything we could.
30:59But it was no use.
31:02His mind was made up.
31:04He has renounced
31:05his diddle-diddle darling forever.
31:11Well, if you should see him,
31:13send him my best regards.
31:16And tell him Miss Sharp forgives him.
31:19Damn you, George Osborne,
31:22for being an interfering,
31:23a vicious snore.
31:25Damn you, Joss Sedley,
31:27for not being able to withstand
31:28your overweening friends.
31:31And damn you, Captain Dobbin-
31:33for...
31:34I don't know what.
31:39Damn you, Miss Emily Sedley,
31:42for being rich and happy
31:43when I'm poor and put upon.
31:46Becky, are you really going?
32:13No point putting off the inevitable.
32:17Oh, why does Shonda miss you so?
32:19Oh, and I, you,
32:21my dearest,
32:22my only friend.
32:25Goodbye, Becky, my dear.
32:28It seems such a short time.
32:31Much too short for me.
32:32I shall miss you all so much.
32:36You're going to a very good family.
32:39Crawley's a queen's crawly.
32:41They're a very old family.
32:42You'll be in a baronet's family,
32:44and that's a lot higher
32:45than what we are, Becky Sharp.
32:47I dare say they live very high.
32:49Very high indeed.
32:50I doubt their governess does.
32:53Well, here's a little something for you, Miss.
32:56Emmy tells me there's no one else
32:57to look out for you.
32:59Mr Sedley,
33:01you're too kind to a poor orphan.
33:05Indeed, I've
33:06never known such kindness
33:08as I've known here.
33:09Well, well, never mind, never mind.
33:11You must come and see us
33:11whenever you're in power.
33:12Carrot is waiting, Miss.
33:13Oh, Becky.
33:14Goodbye, Miss.
33:19All the very best.
33:23Nasty little thing.
33:28Get out!
33:44I'm sorry!
34:07Yeah, I'm sorry!
34:08Bring that bell for me, boy.
34:19Bust a blue mule, please, eh?
34:27What do you want?
34:28Is this Sir Pitt Crawley's?
34:34Yes.
34:35I brought his new governance.
34:36Yes.
34:38Hand down her trunk, then.
34:39Hand her down yourself.
34:41What do you take me for?
34:42I'm no porter.
34:43Come on, man, be quick about it.
34:45The little miss will give you some beer.
34:47Oh, well.
34:49If that's the way of it.
34:59Come along there, little miss.
35:03Take this basket, please.
35:06I shall write to Mr. Sedley and inform him of your conduct.
35:13Ooh.
35:15I see.
35:16Whip him up, John.
35:17Good job, John.
35:30Not too warm for you.
35:35How about I drop beer, little miss?
35:37Where's Sir Pitt Crawley?
35:38Where's Sir Pitt Crawley?
35:39I think you should be told of my arrival.
35:41Yeah.
35:44He's here.
35:48I'm Sir Pitt Crawley.
35:49I bet you owes me a pint of beer for bringing in your luggage.
35:54You don't believe me?
35:56Our sinkery.
35:58Mrs. Tinker.
35:59Miss Sharp.
36:01Miss governess.
36:02Mrs. Charwoman.
36:03Here's your pipes.
36:04Here's your bucky.
36:05And here's your porter.
36:06Where's my change?
36:08One farding.
36:09You can tell he's a baronet.
36:10Only baronet scares about fardings.
36:13A farding a day.
36:15Seven shillings a year.
36:17Seven shillings a year is the interest on seven guineas.
36:20Take care of the fardings and the guineas will come quite natural.
36:23Mmm.
36:25Look at her stare.
36:27You'll know me better afore long, miss.
36:30I'm very sorry for my mistakes, Sir Pitt.
36:33And I beg that you'll forgive me.
36:38Say no.
36:39He not prettily spoke.
36:45Yes.
36:47Bit for you.
36:51Bit for me.
36:53Mmm.
36:55Bit for her.
36:58Nothing like a nice bit of tripe.
37:04See,
37:06I'm a baronet, but
37:07I don't put on hairs and graces.
37:11When I'm in town,
37:13Mrs. Tinker here dines with the family.
37:15Don't you think of...
37:16I do, sir.
37:17Come on.
37:19Drink and drink about.
37:20This is my last night in town, Miss Sharp.
37:24As you see, we're...
37:26shutting up Sharp here, and you and me is off to Queen's Crawley.
37:28First thing tomorrow.
37:30Have you been in town for business or pleasure, sir?
37:35Business, my dear.
37:37Law business.
37:39He's always at law business.
37:41I've won and lost more lawsuits than any man in England.
37:43Look at all these papers.
37:46Look at all these papers.
37:50Crawley.
37:51Baronet.
37:52V. Snaffle.
37:53Overseers of Snailly Parish.
37:55Be Crawley.
37:57I wager you're a quick reader and write a tolerable ending.
37:59I am a good reader, sir.
38:00And I write a very fair hand.
38:01I say so myself.
38:05And you're a pretty little thing here.
38:06You are.
38:07I think we'll rub along very nicely, you and I, little miss.
38:09I hope I shall always give satisfaction, sir.
38:10Well, I think we'll rub along very nicely, you and I, little miss.
38:11I hope I shall always give satisfaction, sir.
38:12Well, I think we'll rub along very nicely, you and I, little miss.
38:14I hope I shall always give satisfaction, sir.
38:15Well, satisfaction?
38:16Oh, yes, indeed.
38:17Oh, yes, indeed.
38:18Oh, yes, indeed.
38:19Oh, yes, indeed, sir.
38:20And I write a very fair hand, if I say so myself.
38:21And you're a pretty little thing here.
38:25You are.
38:26I think we'll rub along very nicely, you and I, little miss.
38:31I hope I shall always give satisfaction, sir.
38:36Well, satisfaction?
38:40Oh, yes, indeed.
38:45Right, now, um, you'll sleep with Tinker tonight.
38:50It's a big bed.
38:55Plenty of room for two.
38:56Lady Crawley died in it.
39:01I hadn't realised Sir Pitt was a widower.
39:04Widower?
39:05He's not a widower.
39:07No use setting your cap at him, if that's what you was thinking.
39:12It's the first Lady Crawley died in this bed.
39:16Her two sons are grown men now.
39:19Hmph.
39:20I should like to see the governess of Gerdandal Vorden Crawley.
39:24That's him on the wall there, next to his brother Pitt.
39:27Well, then, he married an ironmonger's daughter and two girls by her.
39:33That's all you'll be governessing.
39:36Come on, look away, wait.
39:38Go home, four o'clock.
39:50And how do you?
39:55You need that.
39:56Use his organ.
40:01Come.
40:02I'll behome, Oscars, can you fast back.
40:03Down at four o'clock.
40:27Drive on!
40:29Hope we don't feel the cold, miss.
40:33I do a little, sir.
40:35Look.
40:37Someone warm you up.
40:39Oh, here's a rug.
40:41Cover both of us, you see.
40:43Thank you, sir.
40:53Now look.
40:59Oh, nearly there.
41:13Oh, nearly there.
41:17Good day to you.
41:19Good day.
41:21Yeah, good day.
41:27Good day to you.
41:29Good day.
41:31Get off this line, you thief!
41:33Picture them hatches.
41:35Clocking the little soldier.
41:43Even rolls a lot of them.
41:45And I'm a sharp.
41:51Six thousand pound of timber in them trees.
41:55Worst Lady Crawley.
41:57Always on at me.
41:59Say those, not their pits.
42:01Say those, not their pits.
42:05Was she right?
42:07I think she was, sir, strictly speaking.
42:10Rich baronets don't need to be too particular about grammar.
42:13That's poor governess's must.
42:25It's just what I says.
42:29What a beautiful little church, sir.
42:31Is it yours?
42:32It is.
42:33And my brother Butch, the bigger of it, damn his eyes.
42:35He's not a bad chap.
42:37Rather than the dogfight, the preacher's sermon.
42:41You tell him my beauty.
42:43My love.
42:44And his wife's a nasty, interfering little body.
42:46Sharp as a tech she is.
42:48Don't get yourself the wrong side of her.
42:54Here we are.
42:55Queen's Crawley.
42:57What do you think of it?
42:58It's...
43:01Very fine, Sir Pitt.
43:07Aye, very fine, I dare say.
43:11Cost of mint to keep up.
43:14Been in the family 400 years or so.
43:17Horrocks!
43:18Sir.
43:19Show the young lady to her room.
43:20Yes, sir.
43:21You'll meet the family at dinner.
43:27This way.
43:28Now, where's my gun?
43:38Ha-ha!
43:39That gun!
43:46Lady Crawley.
43:47This is Miss Sharp.
43:49New governess.
43:51Pleased to meet you, Miss Sharp.
43:54Likewise, my lady.
44:02I hope you'll be kind to my girls.
44:04Lord, Ma.
44:05Of course she will.
44:16Lady Crawley don't say much, Miss Sharp.
44:19And that suits me well enough.
44:21The First Lady Crawley was such a quarrelsome, high-bred jade.
44:25When she died, I said,
44:26I'll have a nice, pretty girl with no hairs and graces, and...
44:32That's what I done.
44:35She's not as cheery as I hoped she'd be, but...
44:38By and large, I don't regret it.
44:45And pity is me elder son by the First Lady Crawley.
44:49He's known as Mr. Crawley.
44:52He's a dull dog, but there you are.
44:55Hmm?
44:56Ah, I heard you do.
44:58Charmed, I'm sure, sir.
45:01Might I enquire what you're perusing?
45:06Um, it's a pamphlet of my own composition.
45:10On malt.
45:12On malt?
45:14That's so interesting to me, sir.
45:17I hope you'll let me read it one day.
45:22Why, yes, of course, Miss, er...
45:25Miss Sharp.
45:27Of course, Miss Sharp, if you wish.
45:30And, er...
45:32Is your brother, Mr. Rawdon Crawley, here as well, sir?
45:35No.
45:37No.
45:42Rawdon don't care for country life, Miss Sharp.
45:45And pity I don't care for Rawdon.
45:47Pitt's...
45:49a bore, you see, and Rawdon's a bit of a blackguard.
45:53Captain in the lifeguards.
45:55We don't see much of him down at Queen's Crawley.
45:58He will come, my dear.
46:00When Miss Crawley visits.
46:02The whole family will...
46:04Be here, then.
46:06That's because Miss Crawley's got all the money.
46:09Ain't it, Mum?
46:13Dinner is served, my lady.
46:15Boat time.
46:17What have we got, Horrocks?
46:19Potage de mouton à l'Écosse, sir.
46:21Followed by mouton au navet.
46:24The side dish is contained pomme de terre au naturel.
46:28Mutton soup, and then...
46:31mutton?
46:33Yes, sir.
46:36Can't think of anything nicer.
46:39One of our blackface scotch, was it?
46:42Yes, sir.
46:43Excellent.
46:45In we go.
46:47Lord of all the sins and vices which degrade the human character,
46:52Drunkenness is the most odious and contemptible.
46:59Save us, O Almighty Father, from that undue love of drink
47:03which leads to the most monstrous of crimes
47:06and occasions the greatest misfortune.
47:09Grant us, O blessed Redeemer, that strength
47:18that we may resist temptation.
47:23For as a drunken man will impoverish his family
47:27and often lead them to ruin...
47:30My dearest Amelia, what a change between today and yesterday.
47:35Queen's Crawley is the ugliest, dismalest place you could imagine.
47:40Sir Pitt is a vulgar old fellow, half drunk from morning to night,
47:45but he's quite good-natured and may be getting a soft spot for me.
47:49I've caught you, me beauty.
47:59What?
48:01What's the matter, sir?
48:03No candles out till eleven o'clock.
48:07You can go to bed in the dark, can you?
48:11Pretty little hussy.
48:14Or I'll let go of here, have you?
48:20He's killed a man as well, huh?
48:25Very nice.
48:28I believe you, sir.
48:34Blow you out then, my pretty.
48:37Good night, sir.
48:49Good night, dear.
48:50Good night, dear.
49:19Good night.
49:20Good night, sir.
49:21Good night.
49:23Good night.
49:23Good night, sir.
49:25Good night.
49:28Good night, everyone.
49:31Next night in the 60s.
49:33Hmm.
49:35Good night.
49:37Good night.
49:39For my life.
49:41Good night,住م.
49:44Good night.
49:46Good night.
49:47I don't know.
