Transcript
00:00It was a momentous day when June's mother remarried and they joined our family.
00:25The illustrious Forsytes. Oh, so we like to think of ourselves.
00:32The groom, my grandson Jolyon, newly returned from his escapades in Europe to take up his role as heir to the family firm.
00:43Much to the frustration of his cousin Soames, an ambitious soul unwilling to play second fiddle to anyone.
00:51I wish your mother could have lived to see this day.
00:55She'll be the making of you.
01:06Frances was a widow. Queen of high society. Handpicked to cement our status among the London elite.
01:21Of course, every family has its rivalries, its intrigues. But on this great day of celebration, we put them aside.
01:36But on this great day of celebration, we put them aside.
01:43That one is my brother James's abode. But inside it's not a patch on ours.
01:58That one is my brother James's abode. But inside it's not a patch on ours.
02:13You can see why my brother wanted her for Jo. She'll steady him, put an end to all this running amok amid the flashpots of Europe.
02:34But you could have had her. I'd have made an offer.
02:37I'm obliged to you part, but when the time comes, the bride will be of my choosing.
02:41Well, quite frankly, why would you want to burden yourself with an eight-year-old brat?
02:45My late husband invested with Forsyth & Co., so you might think this is a natural progression.
02:56I'm a prime asset changing hands. And June has long needed a father figure.
03:01Go and be presented. Grandmama Anne is the head of our family.
03:16Do I have to like you?
03:21No.
03:22Because I don't like anyone.
03:25It's a good decision.
03:28Of course.
03:30Grandmama, this is June.
03:35Do you know what a foresight is?
03:39A foresight is someone who knows the value of stock, and family, and repute.
03:48You must never ask questions, never contradict, and never ever fail to come up to scratch.
03:57Don't scare her.
03:58She needs to know what she's letting herself in for.
04:02It would be better, you know.
04:05She could not take care of, evidently, to stab her fingers.
04:08And after the whole dime you hit her no Tapi Sheikia.
04:10Everyone's looking at her ourselves, you know either.
04:13Maybe she's getting than a bit more or less.
04:14Then she could reach her eat on her hands.
04:15Well, her nephew said, look straight.
04:17You know what?
04:18It's all she said, why do you want to go and reach her?
04:19Before she 컨ledge, I couldn't seek.
04:51Ten years on, as June's 18th birthday approaches, the peace and stability of the Foresight world is about to be overturned.
05:05Explain to me why drawing is such a necessary accomplishment for cultured young ladies. What possible use could it be?
05:13It's exactly what your grandfather said to me when I joined the family firm.
05:16But you used to love drawing.
05:19I love many things.
05:20Will you join me? Please. Just a quick sketch.
05:24That is me. Exactly me.
05:43Here, we'll be late for breakfast.
05:44So, I was thinking, for my birthday, instead of a ball, could we just have a picnic? Just...
05:57Because your mother wouldn't for a moment mind canceling the event she's been planning for the last ten years.
06:02So, what do we think of Charlie Armstrong?
06:10Is that Sir Roger's boy?
06:13For what?
06:14For June.
06:14Does she like him?
06:16She's never met him.
06:17But I've invited the Armstrongs to the ball.
06:20Along with the Latimer's...
06:23Tea.
06:24Pallister's.
06:26Railways.
06:27Carteret's.
06:28Land.
06:29It's a question of who would most benefit the family.
06:32Miles Latimer?
06:34Horatio Carteret?
06:35The Prince of Wales?
06:36Oh, I'm serious.
06:40Hurry with your breakfast. We have an appointment in town.
06:43Where?
06:44The dressmaker. Your gown for the ball?
06:47So, Pa, was something rather exciting?
07:03And costly.
07:05A racehorse, Papa. Monty's found the very thing.
07:07And when you know the Gigi's, as I do.
07:11I'd hope, as my brother, you'd want to encourage my husband.
07:14Just as when you wed, I'll happily take your wife under my wing.
07:18If ever there were a reason not to marry.
07:20Who's marrying?
07:21Frances was saying she knows a dozen girls who'd make Soames a splendid wife.
07:24Though I'm sure I don't know who'd be good enough.
07:26I believe she has several coming to June's ball.
07:28Well, thanks for the warning.
07:30I'll go in disguise.
07:32Shall we be off, Pa?
07:44Thank you so much.
08:04Ah, Lady Carteret.
08:06Oh, dear.
08:10We were hoping to keep Miss Louisa to ourselves.
08:13My apologies.
08:15Do you know Mrs. Frances Forsyte?
08:18And her daughter, June?
08:22Good day to you.
08:24How do you do?
08:25We need a gown for June's 18th birthday ball.
08:29I hope you received our invitation.
08:32So kind.
08:33Try not to let Mrs. Forsyte monopolize you.
08:45Yes.
08:46If you'd please remove your coat.
08:48Yes.
08:49Obviously, this has to go.
08:52Sadly, she's been influenced by her father, who has his own eccentric views on fashion.
08:56Like wearing clothes, which actually let you move.
08:59So, a tight waistline, a bustle, potentially a train.
09:02Certainly, madam, if I may first take measurements.
09:07Yes, of course.
09:13I've other calls to make.
09:14I'll return.
09:14I'll return.
09:47Here you are.
09:48Here you are, lad.
09:51Ah, good morning.
09:52Good morning.
09:52Morning, Mr. Forsyte.
09:53For half a century, we have been preeminent among London's stockbroking elite.
10:08But lately, young upstarts have been snapping at our heels.
10:12So how do we maintain our supremacy?
10:14By not resting on our laurels.
10:17By seeking out new investments, new markets.
10:19By keeping our ear to the ground for information that we may be able to turn to our advantage.
10:24I have something.
10:26So, Sir Roger Armstrong, Durham mining cur, is about to croak.
10:33Good God, he's barely 50.
10:34Of course, the family's keeping it close to the chest.
10:36Who will be taking over?
10:38The young lad, Charlie Armstrong.
10:39That wastrel. Never done a day's work in his life.
10:43Precisely the point.
10:44When the news breaks, the share price will plummet.
10:46Not necessarily.
10:48We could hold steady, provided there's no loss of confidence.
10:50We should sell.
10:52Our stock, client's stock.
10:53Thus ensuring loss of confidence.
10:54So where do you suggest our loyalties lie?
10:57You know as well as I, a massive sale of stock will panic the markets.
11:00And some of our clients have their entire savings invested with us.
11:02If enough shareholders got together, they could force the company to appoint a steadier hand.
11:06Confidence could be restored.
11:14Excellent. Anything else?
11:18Have a good day. Onward.
11:24Obviously we'll sell.
11:26Obviously.
11:26Your mother is very beautiful.
11:33No.
11:34I don't take after her.
11:36Perhaps you favour your father?
11:38A stepfather.
11:40Is he a good one?
11:41The best?
11:43Without him I'd have run away to sea.
11:46What would you be if you could choose?
11:51Free?
11:52To go where I like?
11:54Meet who I want?
11:55Choose my own gowns?
11:59And you?
12:01Would you be anything other than the best kept secret in London?
12:05I'm content.
12:07I'm content.
12:08Mm-hmm.
12:09you?
12:10Fuck.
12:11Yeah.
12:12I'm good, man.
12:16The children.
12:19My nurse is no other than the best.
12:20In the dead end.
12:20She knows if the student wants to encontrace the next door.
12:21Go.
12:21Go.
12:23And the dead end.
12:23Go.
12:24To her.
12:25My father was a visionary in every way, except for one fatal flaw.
12:48His insistence that the company be passed from eldest son to eldest son, regardless of merit or aptitude.
12:54Ridiculous.
12:55My brother's had his moments. The company's prospered.
12:58But as for Joe, our so-called heir apparent, well, far inferior to you in every way.
13:05Still, there's a long way to go before my uncle dies.
13:09And by that time, Joe's utter unfitness for leadership will be clear.
13:14Whereas you will have demonstrated your credentials.
13:24So, let's go.
13:25Let's go.
13:26Let's go.
13:27Let's go.
13:28Let's go.
13:29Let's go.
13:30Let's go.
13:31Let's go.
13:32Let's go.
13:34Let's go.
14:35When she died, I wanted you to have a less fraught profession, but now I think I was wrong. Had we stayed in Paris, you would not have had to scratch about London for tuition.
14:45But then I would not have met your dear stepmother, and then where would we be?
14:50Lost. Entirely without the sanity of an outside perspective. My dear.
14:55The ballet. It's simply...
15:01Not a respectable profession?
15:03Well, you can't deny it attracts women of ill repute.
15:05And artists, of which my mother was one.
15:08And so must you be.
15:09Madame Manus says there's no more she can teach me here. She thinks I should return to Paris, take my chance at the corps de ballet, if they'll have me.
15:24As for further securing our heritage, it's high time you were seeking an advantageous match.
15:29No.
15:30No.
15:30Papa?
15:57Papa, what is it?
15:58You're hot again?
15:59I knew it.
15:59I knew it.
16:01I said we shouldn't go out.
16:02We're told to stay indoors and keep still.
16:05Here, Marlene or me.
16:06May I be of assistance?
16:07Sir, how thoughtful.
16:08My husband has taken a turn.
16:09Here, permit me.
16:10You're very kind.
16:12May I call your carriage?
16:13Where do you live?
16:13Putney.
16:14How generous of you, Mr.
16:16Fawcite.
16:17Fawcite?
16:19Fawcite?
16:21What if it's Alan Harris?
16:25Clarissa Heron.
16:26Honoured to make your acquaintance.
16:28And yours.
16:29Wait here.
16:30I'll fetch you a carriage.
16:34So obliging of you, sir.
16:37Let me give you my card, miss.
16:39The Heron.
16:40Irene.
16:41So, Miss Fawcite, a pleasure.
16:49So, Miss Fawcite, a pleasure.
16:49Tell me about your day.
17:14Tell me about your day.
17:18I was measured for my gown.
17:23And Mama told me who was coming to my ball.
17:26Anyone you know?
17:27A few dull cousins and a torrent of people who matter.
17:33No doubt you'll be flounced up like a meringue and served up for dessert.
17:38You guessed.
17:39I brought you these, Grandma Ma.
17:45Oh, sweet boy.
17:47Oh, sure, Grandma Ma, the drawing.
17:58Isn't it wonderful?
17:59Don't encourage him.
18:00Don't encourage him.
18:04No, seriously.
18:07Don't.
18:08It isn't that the Fawcites dislike art.
18:14They understand its value, provided they could buy it and sell it.
18:17It's just they don't care for the artists, and they certainly don't wish to be related
18:23to them.
18:37Do we really have to be thinking of a match for June?
18:39The darling girl is an asset to be deployed strategically, as I was, hand-picked to ready you for rule.
18:52If only I was the ruling type.
18:59You are, my love.
19:01I love you.
19:05I love you.
19:09I love you.
19:11I love you.
19:14I love you.
19:17I love you.
19:19I love you.
19:20I love you.
19:21I love you.
19:22I love you.
19:44Are you coming, Mama?
19:45You said you'd read to us.
19:46I will, my darlings.
19:47Let me just finish this.
19:49You must write to Madame Grasse in Amart.
20:05Hopefully, she'll have a room.
20:08Yes, Papa, but my first priority is to get you well again.
20:12You never compromise.
20:14You hold fast to your passion.
20:17You have the means to pursue it in my will.
20:25Why are you saying this?
20:39There, there.
20:41Set me a place.
20:42France is omitted to order tripe, and I cannot abide breakfast without offal.
20:53Sir Jimmy Buckland's had electric lamps installed at his house.
20:57Blighton must be coining it in.
20:59I believe your brother is considering them for next door.
21:04Look into it, Sons.
21:06I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:08Quite right, too.
21:09It's imperative that you remain in the forefront of innovation.
21:12Well, you must be delighted.
21:23The will is entirely weighted in your favour.
21:26Purely to cover my expenses in Paris.
21:30But your share amply covers the lease on this house.
21:34With no change to your manner of living.
21:36I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:37I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:38I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:39I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:40I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:41I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:42I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:43I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:44I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:45I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:46I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:47I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:48I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:49I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:50I'll be damned if he gets them before we do.
21:51My sincere condolences.
22:20I saw the notice and felt compelled to pay my respects.
22:25That's so kind of you.
22:38He was my dearest friend.
22:42I hope family and friends will rally round.
22:45My stepmother is my only family.
22:49Mr. Forsyte!
22:55Oh, we are bereft.
22:57I doubt we shall ever recover.
22:59If there's anything I can do.
23:00There is.
23:01My husband's financial affairs are quite baffling.
23:05Any light you could shed.
23:07I'm entirely at your service.
23:15So what I've done is create the impression of a corset without the whalebone structure.
23:20Where did you learn all this?
23:22I used to be a lady's maid.
23:23I would have to repair her dresses.
23:25And when I came to London I took in mending and set up as a seamstress.
23:30Are you coming, Mama?
23:31Oh, excuse me.
23:32We normally have tea at this hour.
23:35Would you like to join us?
23:37Oh, yes please.
23:38I'm ravenous.
23:39What I'd give for your life.
23:40It's so simple.
23:41Straightforward.
23:42Honestly.
23:43You don't know how lucky you are.
23:44Signature here.
23:45And have you had a chance to look over the contracts for the Blackfriars purchase?
23:47Right.
23:48What I'd give for your life.
23:50It's so simple.
23:51It's so simple.
23:52Straightforward.
23:53Honestly.
23:54You don't know how lucky you are.
23:57Signature here.
23:58And have you had a chance to look over the contracts for the Blackfriars purchase?
24:11Remind me.
24:12Land adjacent to the river acquired by the company with a view to development.
24:16Oh, yes.
24:17Canny piece of business.
24:18This is your doing, Joe tells me.
24:20Well, I can't take all the credit.
24:21As the firm's attorney, your judgment is highly regarded, Mr. Cole.
24:26Please, come for me.
24:27Oh.
24:29Any savings?
24:30Property?
24:31My father's wealth was largely in shares.
24:32He was retired and lived off the dividends.
24:33Oh.
24:34No.
24:35No.
24:36No.
24:37No.
24:38No.
24:39No.
24:40No.
24:41No.
24:42No.
24:43No.
24:44No.
24:45No.
24:46No.
24:47No.
24:48No.
24:49No.
24:50No.
24:51No.
24:52No.
24:53No.
24:54No.
24:55No.
24:56No.
24:57No.
24:58No.
24:59No.
25:00No.
25:01No.
25:02No.
25:03No.
25:04No.
25:05No.
25:06No.
25:07No.
25:08No.
25:09No.
25:10No.
25:11No.
25:12No.
25:13No.
25:14No.
25:15No.
25:16No.
25:17No.
25:18No.
25:19No.
25:20No.
25:21No.
25:22No.
25:23No.
25:24As a matter of fact, congratulations.
25:29You did it.
25:31You offloaded every share.
25:34You went behind my back knowing we had agreed to try and save the company.
25:37I considered it the best course of action.
25:39Did you?
25:40Leaving no time to finalize a rescue package.
25:42So the company has collapsed.
25:45It has.
25:46But you knew would happen.
25:47And still you went ahead with it, disregarding all the consequences.
25:51The consequences are that I've succeeded in protecting the bulk of our clients.
26:00Do you have a moment to look at some contracts?
26:02So I see that the majority of Professor Heron's estate was invested in a mining company.
26:27The Durham Mining Company?
26:28Yes.
26:29Hmm.
26:30Ruined.
26:31Utterly.
26:32How could your father let this happen?
26:34As Mr. Forsyte explained, stock rises and falls.
26:35No one's fault.
26:36But how are we to live?
26:37We cannot entertain their calls.
26:38Even leave the house without risking ignominy.
26:41And I cannot go to Paris.
26:46forces no one's fault. But how are we to live? We cannot entertain their calls. Even leave
26:53the house without risking ignominy. And I cannot go to Paris.
27:16Well, shall we go and pay our weekly homage to the emperor? I'd pay a fortune not to endure
27:35my brother's wittering. All smiles for grandmama. I was thinking to go to Bath next month. What
27:45nonsense Harrogate's far superior if you really know your waters. Hmm. Is this, sure this is real old
27:51Worcester? I think my brother's been diddled. The Carterets and Latimers have confirmed, but for
28:01some reason the Armstrongs have sent their regrets. I can think of a few reasons. Four pits, two thousand
28:06jobs, and a family in mourning. Need we revisit this? Oh, I realise it's inconvenient to be reminded.
28:12We can't afford to be sentimental. Can we afford to be human?
28:37Do you excuse us?
28:42Disagreements at the office? Yes. Usual story. Soames the pragmatist, Joe the hothead. Most
28:53unseemly. Sets a very poor example to the clerks.
28:57Will you ever learn?
29:22Dear boy. Just can't help himself. He's too impulsive by half. For the firm or the world
29:51in general? Both. Ours is a cutthroat business. And Soames, you see, and James, they are hardheaded,
29:58whereas Joe is... Led by the heart.
30:02But to prosper. Truly, as we have done, one has to be cold. Unsentimental. As I have been
30:10my whole life. And yet lately I have regretted sometimes. Well, easy to say when one has amassed
30:20a great fortune. I believe the boy has the makings of a fine leader. Once he has acquired
30:28a little more... Ruthlessness?
30:30Yes. Of course, I know little of business. But might there ever be a circumstance or a need
30:39for Jolion to step up? Would he then not see the necessity of acquiring a little more steel?
30:48Quite possibly.
30:49Whilst absolutely retaining his principles.
30:52So what would this circumstance be?
30:59The sheer extravagance.
31:17The sheer extravagance of this ball. Of my life. Of this place.
31:28I'm glad you're aware of the advantages you've been given.
31:32But I wish we were poor. My dressmaker in Soho. Her life. It's simple. She works hard.
31:39She's an artist. But she answers to no one. No strictures. No rules. No obligation to marry
31:50well.
31:51Well, there's no obligation to marry at all.
31:53Isn't there, isn't there? In this family.
32:03Yeah, Mama.
32:08Uncanny how like you she is. They're not even a foresight born.
32:13So she might still escape. Will you? On my wedding day, I stood in this very room,
32:26brimming with hope. My whole life ahead of me. And then?
32:35I became a foresight.
32:43You won't be content till we have a stick to sit on.
32:47But what choice do we have? How else do we propose to show up our future?
33:00There are other ways that don't involve beggaring ourselves. Especially when one is in one's prime.
33:13Have we some appointment? I wasn't...
33:28Ah, good heavens.
33:30Is that...
33:31Is...
33:32Mr. Forsyth?
33:34Did he invite us?
33:35Mr. Hmm...
33:53Oh, wow!
33:56Ha ha ha ha, ha.
33:59Ha ha ha!
34:01Hello?
34:15Take this.
34:20Mrs Herron.
34:23Mrs Herron.
34:25It's so good of you to come.
34:27Marvellous sport, Polo.
34:29I've long been a fan.
34:31I like to give out to desk workers' stifling.
34:34Yes.
34:35Do you enjoy sports, Mrs Herron?
34:36Tennis and archery are my favourites.
34:39May I offer you some tea?
34:41How delightful.
34:48So, tonight, at what hour?
34:53Leave it to me.
34:55I know how to time things for maximum effect.
35:01Well?
35:02Show me.
35:03I realise it's the function of youth to aggravate its elders.
35:08I realise it's the function of youth to aggravate its elders, but could you occasionally resist
35:14the impulse and allow me to take some pleasure in my child?
35:16Can you?
35:16Can you?
35:17Do you?
35:17Do you?
35:18Do you?
35:18Contrary to what you might think, often.
35:19And if I seem to dictate, that is only because I was also one of my children who was
35:20a child who was a child.
35:21And if I seem to dictate, that is only because I was also once your age and I thought I knew
35:28best.
35:29And did you?
35:30And did you?
35:31I did not.
35:32So, humour me.
35:33And allow me sometimes to offer you the benefit of hindsight.
35:39As long as you allow me to make my own mistakes.
35:40I will try.
35:41And allow me sometimes to offer you the benefit of hindsight.
35:46As long as you allow me to make my own mistakes, I will try.
36:15And now, may I see?
36:22Oh no, Hannah, it's impossible, I can't.
36:42There's a carriage here waiting to take you.
36:49I am not.
36:56I'm sorry.
37:09It will take time. I must replace the entire panel.
37:29Please be as quick as you can. The guests will soon be arriving.
37:39Sir Stanley and Lady Carteret.
37:50Miss Olivia and the Honourable Horatio Carteret.
37:58Mr and Mrs Isaac Cole.
38:02And what are Horatio's plans after Cambridge?
38:08I hope we'll see more of him in London.
38:10My grandson and his sister have a very full calendar, as I'm sure you'll appreciate.
38:17Mr Forsyte.
38:19She'll do very well for you. Elevator's no end.
38:22I'm not wishing to upstage June's occasion, but Mrs Cole and I have some news.
38:30The Cole dynasty is about to produce an heir.
38:34That's tremendous.
38:36Any advice on fatherhood?
38:38I hardly think I'm the expert.
38:40June might disagree.
38:42Sir, Miss June is on her way.
38:46Would you excuse me?
38:52Miss June Forsyte.
39:14Miss June Forsyte.
39:22Miss June Forsyte.
39:23Miss June Forsyte.
39:24Miss June Forsyte.
39:25Miss June Forsyte.
39:26Miss June Forsyte.
39:27Miss June Forsyte.
39:28Miss June Forsyte.
39:29Miss June Forsyte.
39:30Miss June Forsyte.
39:31Miss June Forsyte.
39:32Miss June Forsyte.
39:33Miss June Forsyte.
39:34Miss June Forsyte.
39:35Miss June Forsyte.
39:36Miss June Forsyte.
39:37Miss June Forsyte.
39:38Miss June Forsyte.
39:39Miss June Forsyte.
39:40Miss June Forsyte.
39:41Miss June Forsyte.
39:42Miss June Forsyte.
39:43Miss June Forsyte.
39:44Miss June Forsyte.
39:45Miss June Forsyte.
39:46Miss June Forsyte.
39:47Miss June Forsyte.
39:48Miss June Forsyte.
40:19Lord, he was dull as ditch water.
40:26Will you dance with me?
40:28Oh, I don't think I should.
40:29Your mother has a whole list of eligible sliders.
40:31Please.
40:32Come on.
40:45I love you.
40:49I love you.
41:19Oh, my dear friends and family.
41:37We are here to celebrate our beloved June.
41:43Her entry into society for what is life but a series of entrances and exits.
41:50As one steps out, another steps aside.
41:53As chairman of Foresight and Co., I have labored long for the greater glory in our little empire.
42:01But now I am wondering, has the time come for me to pass over the reins?
42:10To my son, Joe.
42:13I tell you this now, not to distract from your special day, but to rather augment it.
42:22A double celebration, if you will.
42:24To my son and granddaughter, both stepping up.
42:29Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Byrne, a moment.
42:55There's someone I want you to meet.
42:56Papa, Papa, may I introduce you to a new friend, the most wonderful dressmaker, Mrs. Byrne.
43:04I have to speak with my cousins.
43:09I hope June is pleased with her gown.
43:23How are you here?
43:25Your wife came to my shop.
43:29How long have you been...
43:30In Soho.
43:31A long time.
43:34And are you married?
43:37Widowed.
43:38Since when?
43:43Many years.
43:47You didn't think to tell me?
43:54Our lives are very different now.
43:57I...
43:58I must go.
43:58I must go.
43:58Louisa.
44:15After I left Venice, you...
44:17You promised to write.
44:20It was a difficult time.
44:22We were traveling.
44:24I had no way of reaching you.
44:26Nothing could ever have come of it.
44:30I was a lady's maid.
44:31You were the heir to a dynasty.
44:35I loved you.
44:39You would not have been allowed to love me.
44:41I must go.
44:46God bless you, Joe.
44:48Interesting decision.
45:10But you approve?
45:11Are you prepared?
45:14Is he...
45:17My brother would never have come to this alone.
45:22It's her doing.
45:23And hats off to her.
45:26A man needs an ambitious wife if he's to scale the heights.
45:31Wasted mission, of course.
45:33The firm will go to the dogs with him in charge.
45:36Simply never had the killer instinct.
45:38It no matter.
45:39Others do.
45:52So.
45:54Had you the least idea?
45:59Your father's announcement.
46:01Oh.
46:02Yes.
46:04What on earth possessed him?
46:06I never knew him to be so impulsive.
46:08One wonders what he was like in his youth.
46:11Quite feral, I should imagine.
46:13Not unlike yourself.
46:15Me?
46:17Well, rumor has it, on your grand tour,
46:20you blazed across Europe,
46:22leaving a trail of broken hearts.
46:25Why not?
46:27We all deserve our moments of madness.
46:29And then we grow up.
46:39And then we grow up.
46:40And then we grow up.
46:40And then we grow up.
46:41And then we grow up.
46:42And then we grow up.
46:42And then we grow up.
46:43And then we grow up.
46:44And then we grow up.
46:44And then we grow up.
46:45And then we grow up.
46:45And then we grow up.
46:46And then we grow up.
46:46And then we grow up.
46:47And then we grow up.

46:48And then we grow up.
46:48And then we grow up.
46:49And then we grow up.
46:49And then we grow up.
46:50And then we grow up.
46:50And then we grow up.
46:51And then we grow up.
46:52And then we grow up.
46:52And then we grow up.
46:53And then we grow up.
46:53And then we grow up.
46:54And then we grow up.
46:54And then we grow up.
46:55And then we grow up.
46:56Don't move.
47:26My apologies for calling unannounced.
47:51I'm afraid my stepmother is out.
47:53May I tell you who called?
47:54By all means.
47:55Forgive my presumption, but since I first met you and Mrs. Herron,
48:01well, I suspect you've noticed where my attentions have been directed.
48:06I have.
48:10And may I just say, my stepmother is an admirable woman.
48:20Your stepmother?
48:21Yes.
48:22Yes.
48:22I sense perhaps a slight confusion.
48:29Admirable, as Mrs. Herron is, she's not in fact the primary motivation for my visit.
48:36Miss Herron, I'm aware that your life must be in turmoil.
48:45The loss of your father, your financial difficulties.
48:49All I ask is to be considered a friend, a companion.
48:55To me?
48:56To you.
48:56Will you allow that?
49:00A friend would be most welcome.
49:05You're in a hospital.
49:06Oh, my God.
49:21A friend.
49:26You're a friend.
49:29And if you do your lessons well, perhaps when I finish Miss Carteret's gown, we might go to the park and eat ice.
49:48Oh, Mary, please.
49:51Oh, that'll be the laundress.
49:54I'll get it.
49:55Thank you, Hannah.
49:59Forgive me.
50:04I was passing and I wanted to thank Miss Spurn for saving the day last night.
50:08Absolutely, Mrs. Forsyte.
50:10Oh, you're more than welcome.
50:17So, you've been in London for ten years now.
50:23And before that, Ireland as the ladies' maid.
50:27And Europe?
50:29Did you ever travel?
50:32Italy, perhaps?
50:34Uh, well, I, um...
50:38Mama, look at this picture!
50:40Well, who are these charming persons?
50:43I'm Holly.
50:44I'm Joss.
50:45We're twins.
50:46But I'm the oldest.
50:48I'm only Joss.
50:49And the tallest.
50:50Nobody cares.
50:51Oh, Joss.
50:54Is that...
50:55It's what Mama calls me.
50:58Although my proper name's Jolian.
50:59Well, I'm delighted to meet you both.
51:11And thank you again for last night.
51:19Turned out to be quite the occasion.
51:20Oh, my God.
