00:00:24Frail Emily, very very frail.

00:00:27We're concerned.

00:00:30Hours of preparation for just one moment's delight.

00:00:33A metaphor for love.

00:00:35Nonsense!

00:00:37And this person is a man?

00:00:39An architect.

00:00:41I thought I might sleep in the Burlington room.

00:00:44You're wanting separate rooms?

00:00:46Very pleased to make your acquaintance Mr Forsyte.

00:00:48Pleasure to meet you.

00:00:49Irene is my greatest chum, please be good friends you two.

00:00:58I go tofil, I'm CJ.

00:01:03Now, I'll ask you if he has a best friend.

00:01:07I'm

00:01:08either at the harbour.

00:01:09When I sighted on God's doute, ancient�� 법 rooms,

00:01:18ORGAN PLAYS

00:01:48Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live

00:01:59He cometh up and is cut down like a flower

00:02:05He fleeth as it were a shadow and never continueth in one stay

00:02:11In the midst of life we are in death

00:02:14Of whom may we seek for succour but of thee, O Lord

00:02:20For our sins are justly displeased

00:02:23Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty

00:02:29O holy and most merciful Saviour, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death

00:02:37Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts

00:02:40Shut not thy merciful ears to our prayer

00:02:43But spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty

00:02:49O holy and merciful Saviour, thou most worthy judge eternal

00:02:54Suffer us not at our last hour for any pains of death

00:03:00Oh, I'm so sorry

00:03:17I say, you couldn't, um, spare us part of finance, old boy

00:03:27How much?

00:03:28Oh, monkey

00:03:30It's not possible, Darcy

00:03:32Hundred?

00:03:34No?

00:03:37Pony?

00:03:38Tenor?

00:03:39Not with your luck, Monty

00:03:40Vassini

00:03:41If you've nothing better to do on Sunday, why don't you come down to Robin Hill with me

00:03:46I want your opinion on a building site

00:03:48Are you going to build?

00:03:49Perhaps, but don't speak of it, I just want your opinion

00:03:51It's my wife, you see

00:03:54London doesn't agree with her

00:03:57And I think a place in the country might be just what you need

00:03:59Don't tell my wife, will you?

00:04:10I want it to be a surprise

00:04:12I know someone who's got a place built with a tower

00:04:17That's what I want

00:04:19Something like that

00:04:20Why a tower?

00:04:22Because it makes it unique

00:04:23It's not like Anne

00:04:26I do understand

00:04:27Dying

00:04:28And if Anne can go

00:04:31What's to stop any of us?

00:04:35So glad you're able to join us, cousin

00:04:36Is this a new line for you, Sabes?

00:04:38What?

00:04:39An undertaking

00:04:39I know

00:04:40You find a page

00:04:41You'll miss a dreadful

00:04:42Oh, Julie

00:04:42Bad waistcoat

00:04:43Bad fashion

00:04:45Or bad manners

00:04:47Hello, Soames

00:04:48Excuse me, dear

00:04:48I'm so glad you were able to be here

00:04:50Phil, it's good to see you

00:04:52And you, my angel

00:04:53You look lovely

00:04:54Oh, dashing

00:04:55Is Irene quite well?

00:04:59Why?

00:04:59Look, it's pale, Soames

00:05:01The first

00:05:02Triad-looking

00:05:03I wondered if she's becoming melancholy

00:05:05I wonder if she's becoming melancholy

00:05:05I don't know what she is or what she wants

00:05:08The only time she ever smiles is when she's with June

00:05:12Oh, flippity gibbet

00:05:15He's here at last

00:05:16At least the flowers were fresh

00:05:18Well, say hello, you two

00:05:20Oh, it's nice to see you again, Mr. Bassini

00:05:22And you too, Mrs. Forsyte

00:05:24And his waistcoat

00:05:25The poor sites all think he's a wild subversive

00:05:29But the fact is he can't afford a black one

00:05:31Poor dear

00:05:32I apologise

00:05:36Intrusion into grief

00:05:37Not part of the family

00:05:39No

00:05:39Not until he's on 400 a year

00:05:41Then I'm his

00:05:42Isn't it romantic?

00:05:43Like a sack of turnips sold a seam

00:05:46Oh, isn't Soames wonderful

00:05:49If we needed invitation sending

00:05:52It was Soames

00:05:53And cemetery arrangements Soames again

00:05:56Uncle Julian

00:05:59I'm so sorry about Aunt Anne

00:06:03It's mild, Tom

00:06:05Thank you, my dear

00:06:07I'm so glad you were able to join us, Uncle Julian

00:06:11Why the devil, wouldn't I?

00:06:13She's my sister

00:06:14Your boy won't know Anne's dead, I suppose

00:06:19Hmm?

00:06:20Young Julian

00:06:21No

00:06:22They tell me he married that woman

00:06:26Aunt Francis died?

00:06:29Yeah, of that form

00:06:30Why was it?

00:06:32Oh, governess and so forth

00:06:35It was a long time ago

00:06:36You did the right thing

00:06:39Who says I did?

00:06:42It is a stream

00:06:43People

00:06:44Well, damn people

00:06:46Really?

00:06:50People command their own damn business

00:06:52Thank you for coming, Winifred

00:06:55Well done

00:06:56Oh, don't, Soames

00:07:23What name?

00:07:25It's his father

00:07:25Here he is now, sir

00:07:27A minute later, you would have missed each other

00:07:29Hello, Dad

00:07:59What's June like now?

00:08:09They say she's like me, but don't say her folly

00:08:11She's more like her mother

00:08:12She's engaged to be married

00:08:14He's an architect, doesn't it?

00:08:17Good evening, sir

00:08:18Good evening

00:08:19Good evening, perfect

00:08:31That'll do, perfect

00:08:32That'll do

00:08:39She's got fleas

00:08:43Tea?

00:08:45Thank you

00:08:46Your wife?

00:08:48Is she well?

00:08:49Yes

00:08:49Thank you for asking

00:08:50Hope you remember me, too

00:08:52You buried your Aunt Anne last week

00:08:56Oh, I'm so sorry

00:08:58I was terribly fond of her

00:09:02Should have let you know, shouldn't I?

00:09:05Yes

00:09:06I regret our estrangement

00:09:10It was a wretched business, and you behave badly

00:09:14I had no right to pass judgment

00:09:17Call it society

00:09:18Call it family

00:09:19Call it chaffling

00:09:20Hags

00:09:21Jack and apes

00:09:22But I was parted to it

00:09:24And I cut you off, Joe

00:09:24And I'm sorry for it

00:09:25That's just...

00:09:37That is...

00:09:38Most generous, don't you?

00:09:41Well, I...

00:09:42Thank you

00:09:46Oh, please

00:09:48No, I can't

00:09:49We have two children now

00:09:55Julian and Holly

00:09:56If you should think fit to invest it for them

00:09:59I'd be very glad

00:10:01Robert is going up leaps and bounds

00:10:04Question is

00:10:07What am I going to do with this place?

00:10:09It's, uh, very big

00:10:10Those are mine, aren't they?

00:10:12Oh

00:10:14Yes, yes

00:10:16I bought several

00:10:17They're poor things, Joe

00:10:20I wouldn't hang them when they're seen

00:10:21Oh, Clara

00:10:39Yes, Mrs. Darty?

00:10:42Some tea in the drawing room, please

00:10:45I shall be down in a moment

00:10:46Monty

00:10:58Freddie

00:10:59Those are my pearls

00:11:00Hmm

00:11:01You look like a burglar

00:11:03What are you doing?

00:11:08Just having a look, old thing

00:11:09Are you sentimental, Monty?

00:11:12You remember buying me for me, won't you?

00:11:18The day Amy was born

00:11:19You know, I shall always

00:11:22Always treasure him

00:11:25Hmm

00:11:26It really is a peak of a spot

00:11:35The most wonderful views

00:11:37Warden's peace

00:11:38And in Soam's eye

00:11:39A light in spite of himself

00:11:47Oh, Phil

00:11:48We can marry

00:11:50We can

00:11:51Why would Soam's not tell his wife?

00:11:54Hasn't he?

00:11:55There's to be a surprise

00:11:56Then that's why

00:11:57Would you like that?

00:11:59Of course

00:11:59One day I shall bring it on you

00:12:01We're going to live in the country

00:12:11Thank you, cousin Soames

00:12:12What about Irene, Captain Ignorance

00:12:16Well, tell her

00:12:19I said I wouldn't

00:12:20Did you say I wouldn't?

00:12:27I ain't working Saturdays

00:12:29I do I

00:12:29Did you hear about that geyser we repossessed last week?

00:12:33Had he topped himself?

00:12:34No, they do

00:12:34They're some of them

00:12:35Mr. Montague darty at home

00:12:39He's not in, sir

00:12:40Excuse me, sir

00:12:41Where do you think you're going?

00:12:42Excuse me, sir

00:12:43Morning, ma'am

00:12:43And a very good one, too

00:12:44Who are they?

00:12:45What do they want?

00:12:46I don't know, ma'am

00:12:47I have no idea

00:12:48I think the chiffonnier

00:12:50The clock

00:12:51Why are you here?

00:12:51The desk

00:12:52The candlesticks

00:12:53What on earth do you think you're doing?

00:12:55What do you think?

00:12:57Portrait

00:12:57Excuse me

00:12:58Would you mind telling me who you are?

00:13:00They just walked in, ma'am

00:13:01One hour to the door

00:13:02Not to buy your leave

00:13:03Pendercock, ma'am

00:13:04And threat, ma'am

00:13:05Bailiffs

00:13:05We have powers of restraint

00:13:07Goods to the value of 100 guineas, ma'am

00:13:10The portrait it is

00:13:11And a racket

00:13:11No, no

00:13:12You've made a mistake

00:13:14Would you please leave

00:13:15Before I summon the police?

00:13:16No mistake, ma'am

00:13:17This is 17 Green Street Mayfair

00:13:19Your Mrs. Winifred darty

00:13:21Wife from Montague darty

00:13:22And he's in debt to the tune of 100 guineas

00:13:25And, as they say

00:13:26Totting up

00:13:28The dining room this way

00:13:29He stands this high

00:13:32Looks warmstone

00:13:34Straight in the eye

00:13:35And you know what he says

00:13:36Fetch my coat

00:13:38Little vow

00:13:40Just like that

00:13:41Fetch my coat

00:13:42Capital

00:13:44Talk about Lord and Master

00:13:45Oh, that comes from Winifred

00:13:47Your sister has natural authority

00:13:50Fetch my coat

00:13:51Why have you employed that strange

00:13:55Bissini?

00:13:56I mean, why didn't you choose a proper architect?

00:14:00I can't believe he is proper

00:14:01And as he needs the work

00:14:04He'll be malleable

00:14:04Yeah

00:14:05That's your tune

00:14:07His wedding depends on it

00:14:09Why build it all

00:14:11And why leave London

00:14:13And all of us?

00:14:14London's not good for Irene

00:14:15Oh?

00:14:18People influence her

00:14:19Oh, but the country, Soames

00:14:21The country

00:14:22How does Irene feel?

00:14:25She'll enjoy it

00:14:26She said so

00:14:27Not exactly

00:14:30I haven't yet told her

00:14:34But she's artistic

00:14:36She'll enjoy messing about with the decorations

00:14:39And so on

00:14:41And will that stop her asking for a separate room?

00:14:51Yes, Wormson

00:14:52Mr. James has asked for, madam

00:14:54At Mrs. Darty's

00:15:11Oh, hello, Winnie dear

00:15:22You're too late, Daddy

00:15:23For what?

00:15:24This room seems bare

00:15:25I didn't mean to be a sofa or something

00:15:27Bailiffs have been

00:15:28You said bailiffs

00:15:33In a house of mine

00:15:36In a house of mine

00:15:44I'm so sorry

00:15:45Beggars

00:15:47Beggars

00:15:49It's you, isn't it?

00:15:53You're doing so

00:15:55What's all this?

00:15:59You didn't know

00:15:59Are we decorating?

00:16:01You owe money, sir!

00:16:03And you've had the bailiffs in

00:16:04To a house in my name

00:16:06Yes, I can explain that

00:16:09It's the pearls, isn't it, Monty?

00:16:10Well

00:16:10You hadn't paid for them, had you?

00:16:12What's this about pearls?

00:16:13A gift for Winifred, sir

00:16:15A token of my love and esteem

00:16:16Empty token

00:16:18Truly, Freddie, it's a damnedest luck

00:16:19Pentecote and Thrip

00:16:22In a house of mine

00:16:24They are the very worst of cold-hearted blackguards

00:16:27I use them all the time

00:16:30My coat, Clara

00:16:32I'm leaving

00:16:33Right away, sir

00:16:34You'll believe the luck, old girl

00:16:36The pearls were

00:16:39A hundred pounds

00:16:41And I had it all

00:16:42Bar

00:16:43Sixty or so

00:16:45Had months to pay

00:16:46Anyway

00:16:46Chap comes to me

00:16:48And not just a chap, Freddie

00:16:49A trainer

00:16:50Gives me a dead cert for the Hartfordshire Cup

00:16:54Oh, Monty

00:16:54But it was, Freddie

00:16:55Then why didn't it win?

00:16:57Because it didn't start

00:16:58It was a devil's own luck

00:17:02I mean, one gets a tip from a trainer, Freddie

00:17:04And, well

00:17:06Who wouldn't?

00:17:09It's not good enough, Monty

00:17:10Freddie mustn't blame Monty

00:17:15I do blame you

00:17:16For so many things

00:17:18I've realised now

00:17:21I cannot trust you

00:17:22Oh, thing

00:17:24You are feckless and irresponsible

00:17:26And all our lovely things

00:17:29Is the old man going to be sticky?

00:17:36He'll bail you out

00:17:37Beautiful day

00:17:57Phil

00:18:02June, careful

00:18:06Oh, there's a brick

00:18:11It's splendid for Phil

00:18:13The very thing for him

00:18:15Good day, Mrs. Hawthorne

00:18:17Good day

00:18:18What are you talking about?

00:18:20Your new house

00:18:21They were there on Sunday

00:18:22Soames and Phil

00:18:23Where?

00:18:24At Robin Hill

00:18:25It's to be a wonderful house in the country

00:18:27Country?

00:18:28Yes

00:18:29And Phil has a free hand

00:18:30Right down to the decorations

00:18:32Isn't it marvellous news?

00:18:34His fee will persuade Gran

00:18:36And we can marry

00:18:36Oh, I see

00:18:40That's wonderful

00:18:43I'm most pleased for you both

00:18:45Would you please excuse me?

00:18:49I have an appointment to keep

00:18:50What have you done?

00:18:55She had a right to know

00:18:56But didn't you see?

00:18:58What?

00:18:59Her look of betrayal

00:19:00By Soren's

00:19:01I heard something today

00:19:09From my parents

00:19:15That you sleep in a separate room

00:19:19How did they hear that?

00:19:36Well, I'll tell you what I think

00:19:37I think you told June

00:19:40And she spread it about

00:19:41Now the whole of London knows

00:19:42I won't have it

00:19:49I will not have my marriage

00:19:54It's the stuff of common gossip

00:19:55The fact is

00:20:00You won't be seeing much more of June

00:20:02Because we're going to live in the country

00:20:03I knew that already

00:20:08How?

00:20:09June

00:20:12Well, what do you think?

00:20:24Does it matter what I think?

00:20:26Of course

00:20:26You mean

00:20:29If I don't wish to

00:20:31You will change your plans?

00:20:32No

00:20:33But it would make me very pleased

00:20:34If you did wish to

00:20:35Then I am sorry to disappoint you

00:20:39Why?

00:20:41I don't wish to live in the country

00:20:44Wait until you see it

00:20:45I promise you, Irene

00:20:47It is the most beautiful

00:20:48Bussini

00:20:49Even Bussini

00:20:49He thinks it's beautiful

00:20:50And he's artistic, isn't he?

00:20:55What am I to do there?

00:20:57All manner of things

00:20:58We'll have a garden

00:20:59You can paint

00:21:02And so forth

00:21:03Away from all this London frippery

00:21:06At least in London

00:21:07There are people

00:21:08In the country

00:21:10I would be entirely alone

00:21:12Alone at first, maybe

00:21:14We must hope

00:21:17That one day

00:21:18There'll be children

00:21:19Excuse me

00:21:38You will drive me out of my bedroom

00:22:05This is not your bedroom

00:22:08You are my wife

00:22:12There is great pleasure

00:22:16To be had from children

00:22:17Everybody knows it

00:22:20Especially from others

00:22:22I do know that

00:22:25So, my nephew's building

00:22:43In the country, is he?

00:22:44Yes, sir

00:22:45The man of property

00:22:46And that makes you think

00:22:49You have an income?

00:22:51Once the house is built

00:22:52Grand

00:22:52People will flock

00:22:53Oh, flock, will they?

00:22:55Once they see Phil's work

00:22:57They might flock elsewhere

00:22:59I can't guarantee anything, sir

00:23:02Except my fee

00:23:03Which is 350 guineas

00:23:05350, Gran

00:23:08Well

00:23:10To start

00:23:12And where does that put you now, hmm?

00:23:18We want your permission, Gran

00:23:20To start planning our wedding

00:23:21And first to think about a date

00:23:23Don't we, Phil?

00:23:25Yes

00:23:25Seems to me it's always the women

00:23:28Who are in a rush to marry

00:23:30What do you say to them, Bissini?

00:23:32Always the women

00:23:37Set a date

00:23:40And I'll say what I think

00:23:42If you'd like to go in, sir

00:23:54I'll tell Mr. Forsyte you're here

00:23:56Thank you

00:23:56Mr. Bissini's in the drawing room, madam

00:24:01Thank you, Billson

00:24:02Thank you, Billson

00:24:31You brought the plans

00:24:41With great reluctance, yes

00:24:46You merely plan it

00:24:48It is I who must live in it

00:24:50Very well, I'll renounce his commission

00:24:54Don't be silly

00:24:57If it's not you

00:24:58It will be someone else

00:25:00I'd far rather it were you

00:25:03You once

00:25:12Do you remember

00:25:13Spoke of beauty and proportion

00:25:15As an artist's guiding principles

00:25:18If it is of any consolation

00:25:23Those would be my concerns

00:25:24Thank you

00:25:26Beauty

00:25:29And proportion

00:25:32Which cufflinks will you wear tonight, sir?

00:25:48Uh, the palm one's built in

00:25:49My father's

00:25:50Ah, Bissini, good morning

00:25:58Sorry to keep you

00:25:58Morning, Forsyte

00:25:59Odd sort of house

00:26:05I've tried to plan a house

00:26:08With respect for itself

00:26:10It's a house with clean lines

00:26:12Where the eye can rest

00:26:13Well, it's certainly original

00:26:15You know my wife can't stand the cold

00:26:18Oh, she shan't be cold

00:26:18Look

00:26:19Radiators

00:26:20Concealed in the panels

00:26:22Here

00:26:22And here

00:26:24Hmm

00:26:25What's it going to cost?

00:26:268,500

00:26:27I give eight as my limit

00:26:29Well, I'm sorry

00:26:30It can't be done for a penny less

00:26:31How are the plans

00:26:33Well, it's

00:26:36It's not a conventional house

00:26:37You want it unique

00:26:38You can't have both

00:26:39If there were freedom

00:26:42To move and breathe

00:26:43I think those would be

00:26:45Valuable qualities

00:26:46In a house

00:26:48If there were beauty

00:26:51In proportion

00:26:51That's exactly where

00:26:57One moves to the country

00:26:58Room to move

00:27:00Hmm

00:27:04Well

00:27:11I think we're in agreement, Brasile

00:27:14Keep a clear eye on the cost

00:27:18Unique you will have

00:27:20At work

00:27:24There, you see?

00:27:30I told you it would be all right

00:27:31It's not all bad news, is it?

00:27:36No

00:27:36It was you that said it

00:27:42A house with proportions

00:27:45Or some such

00:27:46And that's what you'll get

00:27:48A most beautiful house

00:27:51In a remarkable spot

00:27:53Unique

00:27:57And I think you'd rather

00:28:01Take to Bersinny

00:28:01Do you?

00:28:05Yes, he's rather

00:28:06A find of mine

00:28:07And if he does a halfway

00:28:09Decent job

00:28:10It'll be good for his career

00:28:11You should encourage him

00:28:13Do you think he's good looking?

00:28:20Yes

00:28:24Harry

00:28:28Harry

00:28:28He's looking

00:28:41Let's put the potatoes in the wheelbarrow.

00:29:11Good girl. In the wheelbarrow. Joe? Come on. Come on, Harry. Good boy.

00:29:27Harry. Hello, Dad.

00:29:31Harry, come on.

00:29:43My boy.

00:29:45Where's the foresight?

00:29:51Very pleased to see you looking so well, my dear.

00:29:54Come and, uh, sit down.

00:30:00So, this is where you are.

00:30:04This is where we are.

00:30:07I've got a whole camp of lead salt.

00:30:10Have you, Virgil?

00:30:12Do you want to see them?

00:30:13Oh, yes. Yes, I will. Do you want to see this?

00:30:17Blow.

00:30:21Look.

00:30:23And this one.

00:30:26Listen, Daddy, it's chiming!

00:30:33Now, watch this. Watch this.

00:30:34What are you doing?

00:30:39Yeah, yeah.

00:30:42Excuse me.

00:30:43Helen.

00:30:53Helen.

00:30:57I'm sure he means well.

00:31:00He cut you off because you fell in love.

00:31:03That was a terrible thing to do.

00:31:06He didn't care if we starved when he still had June and wasn't feeling close to death.

00:31:10Helen, Helen.

00:31:11Helen.

00:31:13Oh, thank God for your paintings.

00:31:19He'd bought most of them.

00:31:24And every time I sold one, I imagined myself becoming more independent.

00:31:31It was him.

00:31:33All the time.

00:31:34That isn't good enough.

00:31:44Children, come with me.

00:31:46Come with me.

00:31:48Move your arm.

00:31:50Come inside and have your tea.

00:31:51On the lease, yes sir?

00:31:53Yes.

00:31:55Come on.

00:31:56I don't like the neighborhood.

00:31:57It's a ramshackle lot.

00:31:58Yes, yes, yes.

00:31:59We're a ramshackle lot.

00:32:04My wife is not the thing today.

00:32:08I shouldn't have come here, I suppose, sir.

00:32:17So lonely.

00:32:19Very, very lonely.

00:32:23Phil is the most extraordinary talent.

00:32:29He's so committed to the exclusion of all else.

00:32:32Some says his career will prosper through the Robin Hill house.

00:32:35Which I must always remember.

00:32:37And, of course, it means we can marry, but there's never a chance to even talk about a date.

00:32:44I have a plan.

00:32:46One day next week, we'll arrange for Baines to take us both to Robin Hill.

00:32:50You could see how the house is coming and I can see Phil, perhaps surprise him.

00:32:54I don't wish to go there.

00:32:55Why not?

00:32:57I'm sorry, June.

00:32:58I simply don't.

00:33:02So I continue to wait.

00:33:11Does he come here much?

00:33:15Not very much.

00:33:17Not to talk about the house?

00:33:20I think sometimes with Soames.

00:33:24Then you don't see him.

00:33:27No.

00:33:29Why can't he call once in a while?

00:33:31I do feel for you, June, but this time will pass.

00:33:37But of course it will pass.

00:33:40How trite you are.

00:33:42Are we quarrelling?

00:33:44I don't know why we should be.

00:33:48No.

00:33:50No, nor do I.

00:33:54I think I should be going.

00:33:55Fran.

00:33:56I've just been beastly to Irene.

00:33:57I'll send Baines with a note to make it up.

00:33:58Lunch perfect?

00:34:12Lunch perfect. Yes, sir. What was your row about with Irene? I think it was really about Phil not her

00:34:20Not attentive enough. Not his fault

00:34:24Remarkable house I hear word is you picked a man of rare talent

00:34:43Thank you, Dr. This will do

00:35:02Get awkward walk on

00:35:12I'm not interested in wood being good, sir. It has to be perfect in every detail. I want you to get on with it right away. Yes, governor. Someone to see you

00:35:42You

00:35:50Well, what do you think?

00:35:55Hmm seems solid enough

00:36:01But you can feel the mood of it these rooms will have space right

00:36:07There's no sense of confinement

00:36:10One spirit can live

00:36:13Which is exactly what she wants, isn't it? Believe me, it's what you will want when you see it

00:36:20You find her artistic don't you? Yes, yes, I do

00:36:25Here are the accounts

00:36:33Well, I don't understand it's now 9200 pounds is 700 pounds more than we said

00:36:36I've told you a dozen times there'd be extras

00:36:40Well, I assume the 10 pound note can 700 pounds be called an extra?

00:36:44Can I tell you something, Forsyte?

00:36:47You're getting a house that isn't to be bettered in the county

00:36:50But it seems you don't want to pay for it

00:36:52You want a first-rate man for a fourth-rate fee and that's exactly what you've got

00:36:57I'm damned if I'm doing another stroke of work for you

00:36:59When I agree a price, it's what I expect to pay

00:37:01We'll go over the figures and see how the money's gone

00:37:08We'll go over the figures and see how the money's gone

00:37:28You know, in the early evening light, it looks even more beautiful

00:37:32You know, in the early evening light, it's so beautiful

00:37:39Yes

00:37:40Good evening, Bilston.

00:38:02Good evening, Miss June.

00:38:03Mr. Bacini's here. He's in the garden.

00:38:05Oh, good. I'll just go through.

00:38:06Don't hurry, Mrs. Forsyte.

00:38:10You can see what it's going to look like.

00:38:12My own ideas are becoming bricks and mortar for the very first time.

00:38:15I'm so excited for your phone.

00:38:18I really am.

00:38:19Soames doesn't understand what I'm trying to do, but I know you will.

00:38:23Come down to the house on Sunday.

00:38:25Uncle Swithin has taken me to Richmond Park.

00:38:28Well, that's very near Robin Hill.

00:38:33Are you talking about the house?

00:38:35Yes, yes, we were.

00:38:36I still haven't seen it.

00:38:38Shall we all go down on Sunday?

00:38:40Swithin has taken me for a drive on Sunday.

00:38:43Oh, you can throw him over.

00:38:46June, I'm not in the habit of throwing people over.

00:38:54Shall we go into supper?

00:38:55Yes, yes.

00:39:00Madam?

00:39:02Wasn't it wonderful today?

00:39:04It was the first day of summer.

00:39:05Could you serve the wine now, please?

00:39:07Madam?

00:39:08Yes.

00:39:12This is a little soté I've picked out for us, Bissini.

00:39:14I think you'll rather enjoy it.

00:39:16It's a particular favourite of mine.

00:39:19These lilies are wonderful.

00:39:21Yes.

00:39:21Yes, the scent is extraordinary.

00:39:24Charlotte looks good.

00:39:24How can you like the scent?

00:39:26Serve Mr. Bissini next.

00:39:29Wilson, take out the lilies.

00:39:33No, let them stay.

00:39:36Wilson.

00:39:37Let them stay.

00:39:38Okay.

00:39:38Let them stay.

00:39:38Yes, Mr. Bissini, please, Bilsen.

00:40:07Yes, Miss Julian.

00:40:13There were those women in the park as I came through.

00:40:17What women?

00:40:18You know.

00:40:20There seem to be more and more of them these days.

00:40:22I don't think we need to talk about them now.

00:40:24Don't you?

00:40:27When should one talk of them?

00:40:28I can't see the necessity to talk of them at all.

00:40:30Well, someone should.

00:40:31Magistrates.

00:40:32I can't think of who else.

00:40:34Oh, round them up, I suppose, and lock them away,

00:40:36but don't, whatever you do, mention them at dinner.

00:40:45Sydney, have some brownie.

00:40:48You're drinking nothing, June.

00:40:50No.

00:40:50I think we should leave now.

00:41:12So soon.

00:41:17It's been most pleasant, thank you.

00:41:19Come, Phil.

00:41:19June, aren't you being rather rude?

00:41:21Then stay.

00:41:22I'll go alone.

00:41:22Please, don't.

00:41:24Really, I must.

00:41:27Good night.

00:41:29Thank you for dinner.

00:41:31Excuse me.

00:41:35Good night.

00:41:37Good night.

00:41:37Well, good luck.

00:41:56Found me appalling, I suppose.

00:41:59Yes.

00:41:59It's just that I never see you.

00:42:03I know you're desperately busy, but...

00:42:06We were finally together, and you only seemed...

00:42:09You seemed never to look at me.

00:42:15I'm sorry, my dear, if that's how it appeared.

00:42:18You hardly seemed to notice me.

00:42:21I was merely being polite.

00:42:29Phil.

00:42:29I want to say something to you.

00:42:34Don't give me a chance to be nice to you.

00:42:36You haven't for ages.

00:42:40I want to mean everything to you.

00:42:43And I want to do everything for you.

00:42:54It could if you took me to your rooms on Sunday.

00:42:56Perhaps another day.

00:43:06And not Sunday.

00:43:07Why not Sunday?

00:43:09I have an engagement.

00:43:10With whom?

00:43:12An engagement which will prevent my taking to my rooms.

00:43:16Work.

00:43:17I'm sorry.

00:43:19I'm sorry.

00:43:20I'm sorry.

00:43:20Who are you writing to?

00:43:48Uncle Swithin.

00:43:50Why?

00:43:51Because I don't think I should go anywhere on Sunday.

00:43:56You're not putting him off, are you?

00:43:58I am, as a matter of fact.

00:44:03I think you should go.

00:44:06Does it really matter to you?

00:44:09He's my uncle and I happen to know he's rather looking forward to it.

00:44:12It's one wifely duty you could manage to fulfil.

00:44:18Very well.

00:44:23I must say, I like your hat.

00:44:31And that frock fits you like a skin.

00:44:36Yes, tight as a drum.

00:44:39Now, are you still on for Richmond Park?

00:44:43A look at the deer and the chestnut trees.

00:44:46Richmond is close to Robin Hill, isn't it?

00:44:49A similar neck of the woods, my dear.

00:44:52Uncle Swithin.

00:44:55Would you be a deer and drive me to Robin Hill?

00:44:58I haven't yet seen the house, you see.

00:45:01Certainly.

00:45:02Certainly, my dear.

00:45:04Oh, get on, sonny.

00:45:05Get on.

00:45:06Get on.

00:45:10Get on.

00:45:45Ah, welcome. Welcome to Robin Hill.

00:45:49Good afternoon, young man.

00:45:50Good afternoon, sir.

00:45:52I'm so glad you could come.

00:45:55Good Lord.

00:45:57Extraordinary.

00:45:58Come, let me show you around.

00:46:01Handsome, you'll be wanting statues.

00:46:05Bust of a Roman god.

00:46:07Can't beat a Roman god.

00:46:10Ah, that's more like granite cotton.

00:46:16Excellent space for a billiards' room.

00:46:19Oh, no, it's to be an open courtyard with a glass ceiling.

00:46:24Glass ceiling?

00:46:25People who look through.

00:46:28People on the roof, you mean?

00:46:32You take my advice, Irene.

00:46:34Catch us up a billiards' table.

00:46:35I'll gladly pay you a frame or two for a fiver.

00:46:39But you'll lose.

00:46:42Ah, there's a good view from here.

00:46:46Who needs to go down there for the view?

00:46:50Monarch of all he surveys.

00:46:51Oh, I don't think he's surveying much.

00:46:55He's slept for the last two miles.

00:46:57What do you think?

00:47:00I think it will be beautiful.

00:47:01I think it will be beautiful.

00:47:05What do you think?

00:47:05I think it will be beautiful.

00:47:36You must know I love you.

00:47:40I don't believe Soames Forsyte cares for you except as a possession.

00:48:07I'm not thinking about Soames Forsyte.

00:48:11Uncle Swithin is waiting.

00:48:25As is June for you.

00:48:31You'll never make anything of that house, young fella.

00:48:45Too newfangled.

00:48:47The only good thing is the wine cellar.

00:48:52You'll have room for some six or seven hundred dozen.

00:48:58A very pooty little cellar.

00:49:02Get on, sonny.

00:49:03Get on.

00:49:10Go on now.

00:49:11Get on.

00:49:13Get on.

00:49:14On you go.

00:49:25Good morning, Mr. Forsyte.

00:49:27You seeing your young man today?

00:49:32You ask me that every day.

00:49:35Oh.

00:49:36Don't ask it again, then.

00:49:39Is he taking you to the ball?

00:49:54Of course.

00:49:56You will be seeing him again, then.

00:49:59You will be seeing him again, then.

00:50:03You shall come on.

00:50:20Come on.

00:50:21What's up?

00:50:22It's over here.

00:50:23I'll take part of this.

00:50:24Yes, it's through the sky.

00:50:26Sorry, I wasHirib.

00:50:30Take part of this motif.

00:50:32Is it a police?

00:50:33Oh, I dropped it.

00:50:34There you go.

00:50:35Oh.

00:50:36Right.

00:50:37Ah!

00:50:38Johnny, come over here.

00:50:40Oh.

00:50:41Oh, I don't.

00:50:42Want some of the drink?

00:50:43No, thanks.

00:50:44No.

00:50:45Your wife seems well.

00:50:46Yes, she is.

00:50:47She is well.

00:50:48Have you tried before?

00:50:49I can't say so much for June.

00:50:50No.

00:50:51Anything I say, she bites my head off.

00:50:54I'd like to punch a fella's head.

00:50:55Is this Bissinni?

00:50:56She never sees her.

00:50:57When it does, she comes home crying her eyes out.

00:50:59Perhaps it's better if it should come to an end.

00:51:01Well, I don't say your sympathy is with him.

00:51:02Both of them.

00:51:03I don't think your sympathy is with him.

00:51:04Both of them.

00:51:05Yes.

00:51:06Yes.

00:51:07Yes, sir.

00:51:08I'm sorry.

00:51:09I'm sorry.

00:51:10I'm sorry.

00:51:11I'm sorry.

00:51:12I'm sorry.

00:51:13I'm sorry.

00:51:14No, I don't know.

00:51:15I'm sorry.

00:51:16I'm sorry.

00:51:17I'm sorry.

00:51:18No, I'm sorry.

00:51:19I'm sorry.

00:51:20I'm sorry.

00:51:21I'm sorry.

00:51:22I'm sorry.

00:51:23both of them. Has he fallen for some other woman? They say so. And I suppose they've

00:51:32told you who it is? Soames's wife, so Slyton tells me. She and June were bosom

00:51:45friends. Poor little June. We need to know what his intentions are. I can't do it. But he goes to your club, doesn't he?

00:51:59Dad! What's the matter? Dad, it's not been many years since the family closed ranks against me

00:52:04for doing precisely, it seems, what Bissini is about to do.

00:52:13I'm sorry, Dad.

00:52:15And if my son has failings, could he not improve upon them? With your help.

00:52:28It is not his failings. It is him.

00:52:37Are there not matters that you yourself, my daughter? It would be a matter of wishing to.

00:52:43When you speak together, for example... We don't speak to any consequence. He is for the most part

00:52:55silent, and I find that agreeable. Yes, he's unlike James in that respect. James has always spoken rather

00:53:03more than he needed.

00:53:10To outward appearances, Soames would seem to be a very good husband.

00:53:15You are not married to him.

00:53:16I'm sorry.

00:53:17Is it? Is it to do with a certain close area within marriage?

00:53:30It's not that alone. You see, I always rather dreaded the occurrence. Though I have, on the whole, enjoyed its results. My children have afforded me much pleasure. And have distracted me from the relentlessness of marriage.

00:53:52I wondered if the house in Robin Hill might not prove congenial in that respect.

00:54:07I'm sorry.

00:54:12Forgive me, my dear. But you seem so... cold.

00:54:19I know. I know I do. And I'm not a cold person. I am not Emily. I know I am not. This is not me sitting here. This is...

00:54:30Some... some... some... wife. I...

00:54:42What can I do?

00:54:48I do not love him. I cannot love him.

00:54:53I do not want to love him.

00:54:55Sorry.

00:54:59Sorry.

00:55:03Sorry.

00:55:05And you do not think the children...

00:55:06No.

00:55:08Never.

00:55:14No.

00:55:15This will do. Just here.

00:55:26Very good, sir.

00:55:27World it!

00:55:33Thank you, Doc. We're done.

00:55:35All gone, boy.

00:55:36Good morning, Viscini.

00:55:37Are you taking a break?

00:55:38I'm giving you notice to terminate my employment.

00:55:39As the house is almost finished.

00:55:40You undertook to decorate. We have a contract.

00:55:42You've never once come down without suggesting something that runs counter to my scheme.

00:55:46If I am to decorate, then I must have a free hand.

00:55:47I'd say you've had a free hand all along.

00:55:49I haven't been able to make a single suggestion that you've agreed with.

00:55:50Just keep it below 12,000 pounds, that's all.

00:55:51Just keep it below 12,000 pounds, that's all.

00:55:52How am I expected to predict to the pound?

00:55:53If you go over by, say, 50 pounds or so, there'll be no difficulty between us.

00:55:54And in those terms, you may have a free hand.

00:55:55Will you put it in writing?

00:55:56No.

00:55:57No.

00:55:58No.

00:55:59No.

00:56:00No.

00:56:01No.

00:56:02No.

00:56:03No.

00:56:04No.

00:56:05No.

00:56:06No.

00:56:07No.

00:56:08No.

00:56:09No.

00:56:10No.

00:56:11No.

00:56:12No.

00:56:13No.

00:56:14No.

00:56:15No.

00:56:16No.

00:56:17No.

00:56:18No.

00:56:19No.

00:56:20No.

00:56:21No.

00:56:22No.

00:56:23No.

00:56:24No.

00:56:25No.

00:56:26No.

00:56:27No.

00:56:28No.

00:56:29No.

00:56:30No.

00:56:31No.

00:56:32No.

00:56:33No.

00:56:34No.

00:56:35No.

00:56:36No.

00:56:37No.

00:56:38No.

00:56:39No.

00:56:40No.

00:56:41No.

00:56:42No.

00:56:43No.

00:56:44No.

00:56:45No.

00:56:46No.

00:57:17Bill.

00:57:47Bill?

00:58:17Bill.

00:58:18Bill.

00:58:19Bill.

00:58:20Bill.

00:58:21Bill.

00:58:22Bill.

00:58:23Bill.

00:58:24Bill.

00:58:25Bill.

00:58:26Bill.

00:58:27Bill.

00:58:28Bill.

00:58:29Bill.

00:58:30Bill.

00:58:31Bill.

00:58:32Bill.

00:58:33Bill.

00:58:36Bill.

00:58:37Bill.

00:58:38Bill.

00:58:39Bill.

00:58:40Bill.

00:58:41Bill.

00:58:42Bill.

00:58:43Bill.

00:58:44Well, perhaps I should say to rest

00:59:14I want you to take me

00:59:16What?

00:59:18To the ball

00:59:19My dear girl, I'm about to go to bed

00:59:22I'm sorry, Gran, but I want to go

00:59:25I'm all right now

00:59:26No, dear, no, this is quite foolish

00:59:29Then I shall go on my own

00:59:32You can't possibly

00:59:33Don't be a silly girl

00:59:35Half it, have the carriage ready

00:59:37I thought you were down well

00:59:40Give me some hot water

00:59:44I'll have to wash

00:59:46Yes, sir

00:59:47There's nearly eleven

01:00:09Seen something you know?

01:00:10You see, we've got the buccaneer

01:00:12So what do we all think?

01:00:14Is he sweet on Mrs Forsythe?

01:00:16Oh, George, don't be so silly

01:00:17Rumour is she's interested in him

01:00:20Well, why shouldn't she amuse herself?

01:00:25Soames is so tiring

01:00:26Mr Bassin is rather chic

01:00:29But if she'd do anything, of course she wouldn't

01:00:31Where is June?

01:00:34June

01:00:34I see you later

01:00:42Soames looks put out

01:00:44Why's that?

01:00:45I don't know

01:00:46Would you be jealous?

01:00:49You're right if we had some cause, eh?

01:00:54Please, you're holding me too close

01:00:56Come on

01:00:57Seems to me you like a bit of close work

01:00:59Why should the buccaneer

01:01:01Have it all to himself?

01:01:08I don't think I'll do

01:01:09Cars and soames

01:01:10Not nice in front of the girls

01:01:14Phil?

01:01:29There you are

01:01:30Now, come on

01:01:30Come back inside

01:01:31They're wondering where you are

01:01:32Darcy, please

01:01:33Leave her alone

01:01:34I say

01:01:35What's this?

01:01:36A tryst?

01:01:37I said leave her alone

01:01:38Now, look here, Mr Buck

01:01:39I saw the way you were dancing with her just now

01:01:41Just leave her alone

01:01:43It's defending her honor, eh?

01:01:44Isn't that another thing a husband should do?

01:01:46Get out of here

01:01:46Just get out of here

01:01:47Get out of here before I kill you

01:01:49All right, steady on

01:01:51Steady on

01:02:09Why did you not bring June?

01:02:11I didn't want her

01:02:12You're engaged to her, Mr Bissini

01:02:15But I shan't marry her, Mrs Forsyte

01:02:18Then you should tell her

01:02:23And I will

01:02:25Why shan't you marry her?

01:02:32Can't you see what I feel for you?

01:02:34Are you blind?

01:02:36I believe you feel the same way

01:02:38I'm sure you do not love your husband

01:02:42Do you?

01:02:48I loathe him

01:02:49Then come to me

01:02:52I am married

01:02:54What does that matter?

01:02:56It matters

01:02:56Do you love me?

01:03:01Please, don't ask that

01:03:03Could you love me?

01:03:07June is...

01:03:07Don't say June

01:03:08Say no if that's what you mean

01:03:10Then no

01:03:14I do not love you

01:03:18Phil?

01:03:26Phil

01:03:27Don't make me say it

01:03:37I should give an eye to your wife, old boy

01:03:53What?

01:03:53Might see more than you bargained for

01:03:55Would you love me?

01:03:59I

01:04:04I

01:04:05I

01:04:05Oh my

01:06:40Will you let me go?

01:06:45Of course I won't.

01:06:49Why do you never look at me like you look at him?

01:06:51I can't believe you're made of stone.

01:07:11Good beating.

01:07:12Bringing you to your senses is what you need.

01:07:13Oh, I'm sorry.

01:07:21I'm truly sorry.

01:07:22Let go of me.

01:07:23I'm sorry.

01:07:24Let go of...

01:07:25Forgive me.

01:07:35Oh, God.

01:07:43Oh, God.

01:08:13Oh, God.

01:08:49Irenie.

01:08:50Irenie.

01:08:51I don't know what you want from this door.

01:08:55What do you want?

01:10:25Don't walk away from me.

01:10:27You force my hand, if you do.

01:10:29To do what?

01:10:31To resort to the law.

01:10:31Solves.

01:10:34It would cost you more to bring the case than you could ever hope to win.

01:10:37I am arguing about the principle.

01:10:40Principle?

01:10:41There isn't a single person in this room who believes that is your motive.

01:10:45At least of all yourself.

01:10:46Life is a dance we must learn

01:10:57Into the night we will turn

01:11:01Time holds the secrets of our song

01:11:05Moments are given, then gone

01:11:09Come have this dance with me, darling

01:11:13I'll hold you tight till the dawn

01:11:18Let the night see how I love you

01:11:22So the moon can tell the sun

01:11:26So the moon can tell the sun

01:11:31Oh, oh, oh

01:11:32Oh, oh, oh
