00:00Thank you
00:30Thank you
01:00Thank you
01:30Barbara
01:30The dancing has begun
01:34You will be late to appear at our own festivities
01:37I'm sorry, Mama
01:38I'm ready now
01:40Then come down at once
01:41Before Lord Upland Towers arrives
01:45He especially
01:47A matter of courtesy, to be sure
01:51Nothing more
01:53Very well, Mama
01:55It's a job
02:22Good evening, I'm delighted to be here
02:26Good evening
02:27Very good evening
02:29Delighted to see you
02:30My pleasure
02:30Miss Barbara
02:48Lord Upland Towers
02:50He'll not deny me a turn at the dance, I hope
02:52With pleasure, I'll not, sir
02:55Thank you
03:04Thank you
03:04Thank you
03:04Thank you
03:06Thank you
03:07What did you say?
03:31Retire?
03:33Even before supper you shall not.
03:35I promise you I have such a fever.
03:38And my head aches.
03:40I beg you.
03:42Or I'm sure to faint and embarrass our guests.
03:44I insist.
03:45And I must retire.
03:55You look sullen, sir.
03:56Fit to run a man through.
03:58The devil to you, Drancard.
04:00What is it?
04:02Sir John's daughter left you?
04:04Not fallen into your arms quite as planned?
04:07I told you.
04:09I still have her.
04:11No fear.
04:12You'll never get her.
04:14She's not drawn to you by love, sir.
04:16And as for thoughts of a good match, why?
04:19She's no more calculation in her than a bird.
04:21We shall see.
04:38Come.
04:40We must make haste.
04:41I was just seeking your daughter for another dance, Lady Green.
04:56She seems to have vanished from the ballroom.
04:59She has been so excited with the preparations all day.
05:02She's become quite fevered.
05:04I fear she has taken to her bed.
05:08But you will not leave the dancing, Lord Upland Towers.
05:11It is near twelve, madam.
05:13I see that some are leaving already.
05:15I should be away myself.
05:16I protest.
05:18No one has left yet for certain.
05:20And I shall not forgive you if you leave so soon.
05:26Then I shall stay for your own sake, madam.
05:29I shall not forgive you if you leave so soon.
05:59You may tell his lordship I will see him immediately.
06:29Sir John.
06:35This is an unseemly hour to be called upon.
06:39I'm surprised you're not still of bed after the ball.
06:41My lord!
06:42Where is my daughter?
06:47Where is Barbara?
06:50Why do you ask that of me?
06:52I thought she was not well, your lady.
06:54The girl feigned some excuse to leave the ball and retire.
06:57She dismissed her maid.
06:59She has not been in her bed.
07:01And she is gone.
07:03She's missing, then.
07:03But I'm at a loss to know why the hunt should lead you straight in my direction.
07:09You have me confounded, sir.
07:11It is well known, your lordship.
07:12That I am a notorious abductor of young gentlewomen.
07:16Forgive me.
07:16I have made no secret of my interest in Barbara.
07:19Well, that interest is an honourable one.
07:23You insult me, sir, if you think this sudden folly of her disappearance should be ascribed to me.
07:31Forgive me.
07:32I'm near out of my mind with anxiety.
07:38I came without thinking, and I apologise.
07:43Excuse me, sir.
07:46Sir John?
07:48Sir John?
07:53I believe I saw her go.
07:56The devil you did.
07:58I saw a carriage leave your grounds well before midnight,
08:01and then Lady Grebe told me none of the guests had departed.
08:06And I fear it's young Edmund Willows has taken her leave.
08:10And who's he?
08:12Nothing.
08:13No one.
08:15Neither craftsman, labourer, nor gentry.
08:19I'd heard something of an association between him and Barbara,
08:23but I ignored it.
08:25She's not a deceitful girl.
08:28Nor did I believe she would ever go beneath her.
08:31But I'll have that young villain whipped out of the county.
08:35By heaven I shall!
08:42Damn her for a fool.
08:46Damn her!
08:47Do you regret any of it, Barbara?
08:52Oh, no, my love.
08:55But I think, too, we are right.
08:58But try and make amends and reconcile with my parents.
09:02We love, but we have nothing.
09:05We cherish, but we needs must live.
09:11I'm sure my father will help us.
09:13I confess I don't look forward to the meeting.
09:16Oh, when they meet you, they will understand us.
09:19It's one thing to be resolute for love.
09:24Another to go on one's knees for charity.
09:26Don't be too proud, Edmund.
09:31I confess, Mr. Willows.
09:45I can see you are indeed handsome enough to have turned our daughter's head.
09:49My features are my fortune in but that one respect, madam.
09:53Such as I am informed was given me by nature.
09:56I can claim no merit there.
09:57I only thank God your sweet child should accept me.
10:02And I would, therefore, be accepted by yourself and Sir John.
10:08You shall.
10:10You shall.
10:10But let us be practical, don't you think?
10:14I have proposals.
10:17Anything, sir.
10:18We wish only to please you, Father.
10:20And we wish only to bring your husband to what should be his and your proper station, Barbara.
10:26Which means?
10:27See it this way, Edmund.
10:32We will have you as our son-in-law and glad to do so.
10:37But what do you say to a year abroad?
10:40With funds enough and a man of parts to be your tutor, to instruct you on your way,
10:45to acquaint yourself with languages, manners, society, history,
10:49the ruins of the attic world, and so forth.
10:54You would have me polished then, sir?
10:57I would have you fit to live unashamed.
10:59A match for any man at our daughter's side.
11:01That would be reward enough, Sir John.
11:04So what's more?
11:06Whilst you have your year on the continent,
11:08I'll have the place that you've's hope made ready for you and Barbara.
11:12The house is but small and out of the way,
11:15but it will serve for a young couple for a while.
11:18A summer house would do.
11:20A sedan chair would do.
11:21And the lonelier, the better.
11:27Yes.
11:29But I am sure that there will be friends to come and visit us.
11:32Then is it settled?
11:34I accept with gratitude.
11:37Barbara.
11:37I feel as Edmund, father.
11:41Mother.
11:43I thank you.
11:57Why is it called you's hope, Mary?
11:59I know not, ma'am.
12:02It is lonely enough.
12:03My husband has been so long away.
12:12I would whip time on if I could, Barbara.
12:16I long for my return and our reunion.
12:21Ten months already, and we're still far away.
12:26Soon we shall stop a while in Pisa.
12:30Whatever else,
12:31one thing I am very educated in by now
12:34is the loneliness of separation.
12:44My poor tutor.
12:46Despite his tireless efforts on my behalf,
12:49I am loathe to miss one chance of writing.
12:52All these churches, works of art, fine cities.
12:55But it is Barbara who has possession of my eyes.
13:01I can't quite see, Edmund.
13:05I can't see you anymore.
13:07I can't see you anymore.
13:07I can't see you anymore.
13:31And so, signore,
13:39my friend would commission not only a drawing,
13:41but also a complete sculpture.
13:44Naturally, the drawing first,
13:46for he has been long away.
13:47I understand, signore.
13:50After so many months,
13:52your charming wife can wait no longer
13:53to see something of him.
13:55Quite so.
13:55And we were told...
13:57That you are the best sculptor in Pisa.
14:01I'm most interested in your art, signore.
14:08My grandfather,
14:11more humbly, of course,
14:12was a craftsman.
14:13He worked in stained glass.
14:15I can do anything you wish, signore.
14:18If I may say so,
14:20you are a fine subject.
14:22A classical subject.
14:25I shall be most honored.
14:26I do this for my wife, sir.
14:29Not for myself.
14:31My appearance is of no interest to me,
14:34except that it please her.
14:35My father!
14:43Mother!
14:43I was not expecting you today.
14:46My dear father!
14:47What?
14:48Tell me.
14:50What?
14:51Can we not go into the house?
14:53You look so grave, father.
14:55You must tell me at once.
14:57We have heard from Edmund's companion
14:59in Venice.
15:02A grievous accident.
15:05There was a fire
15:07at the opera house there.
15:10Your Edmund,
15:11in the act of helping to save others,
15:14was
15:14sorely burned.
15:17Where is he?
15:17I must go to him at once.
15:18No, no.
15:20The doctors advise against it.
15:23They say no one
15:24must see him.
15:28He will live, Barbara.
15:30There's no doubt of it.
15:32Yet,
15:32disfigured badly.
15:36It hurts me
15:37to have to tell you.
15:39I'll take her into the house.
15:40No, no, please.
15:41Neither of you.
15:43Leave me.
15:44I beg you.
15:49You must grieve this sadness
15:51in your own way.
15:53We understand, Barbara.
15:56Sure.
15:57It is hard.
15:58But one thing he had
16:01to justify your rash choice
16:02is wonderful good looks
16:04shall be taken away like this
16:07and leave you no excuse
16:09for your conduct
16:09in the world's eyes.
16:10Mother!
16:14It is best we leave, then.
16:20He'll soon get right again, Barbara.
16:24Just a few months.
16:25Let's go.
16:26Let's go.
16:29Let's go.
16:30Let's go.

21:09I knew it would be so.
21:33I am too terrible an object, even for you to bear.
21:37I could damn to hell, but I'm certain you saved me!
21:52Look up, Barbara.
21:55View me completely.
21:58Say you loathe me.
22:00And if you do, I will settle the case between us for good.
22:07I do not loathe you, Edna.
22:14I'm so horrified.
22:19So overcome.
22:22Let me recover myself.
22:29Will you not eat something?
22:33And while you do so, may I go to my room
22:37to regain my old feeling for you?
22:44I will try.
22:49I may leave you for a while.
22:55I will try.
23:02Let me go.
23:03I will try your room.
23:04I will try to open my room.
23:05You have some to keep your room in my room.
23:06It's not so easy.
23:07How do you play?
23:08I am sure you will put your room in space.
23:10I am not sure you are going to open my room.
23:12I am not sure.
23:13I am not sure if you do that.
23:14I am not sure if you do it.
24:45Edmund?
24:58Edmund?
24:59Edmund?
25:01Edmund?
25:02Edmund?
25:06Are you there?
25:15Edmund?
25:16Edmund?
25:20Edmund?
25:21Edmund?
25:22Edmund?

25:28Edmund?
25:29Edmund?
25:33Edmund?
25:34Edmund?
25:38Edmund?
25:43Edmund?
25:46beloved wife the effect my forbidding appearance has had on you was one I
25:53foresaw as quite possible I was aware that no human love could survive such a
25:59catastrophe I confess I thought she was divine but after so long an absence there
26:08could not be left sufficient warmth to overcome the first too natural aversion
26:14I do not blame you perhaps even it is better so goodbye I leave England for
26:27one year you will see me again at the expiration of that time if I live then I
26:36will ascertain your true feeling and if it be against me go away forever
26:43his lordship was here again just now this is Sir John on some matter
27:11he would not stay but I asked him to sup with us tomorrow
27:17so many years since Edmund went away and according to Sir John Barbara is legally now a widow
27:28which she seems unmoved by Upland Towers constancy I have learned to respect him a great deal mother
27:38I now know him as a man of judgment as for what they say of his severity on the bench I believe
27:48him to be misrepresented yet she will not admit to his courting either of my own sisters I know would
27:57take him take him at his word so Barbara should I cannot bear to see her wasted I do believe the right thing would be to marry again
28:07will thou obey him and serve him love honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all other keep thee only unto him so long as ye both shall live
28:29as ye both shall live
28:30I will
28:32you look downcast Barbara and on your wedding day
28:54I'm a little afraid sir of me why so I know I have been cool these weeks before our marriage
29:04I fear that I may not be able to love you in the way you would hope
29:08I have one new haven't I
29:12the rest will come
29:17I'm quite able to wait
29:38yes madam read your letter
30:07I haven't had a damn word from you in days
30:12yes madam what is it
30:15the mayor I fetched yesterday your lordship
30:17the mayor
30:17do you have any interest in that Barbara
30:20or anything else
30:22I should have thought something might have stirred your apathy these 12 months
30:27I'm often quiet sir
30:30because I believe you would not have me speak at all
30:33tis a failing animal
30:38tis a failing animal should have been a mule
30:40what else
30:45there is a packing case arrived
30:48for a ladyship
30:49here is news of Edmund
30:51what news
30:51from a relative of his
30:53he died abroad not six months after he left
30:58it was in some far away place
31:02they found out but recently and by chance
31:06I knew it must be so
31:12still
31:15it is good to have it quite confirmed
31:19but what's this packing case been sent you
31:26it is a sculpture of Edmund
31:29started in Italy before the accident
31:32the artist wrote me some time ago
31:36to say that it had long been finished
31:39and he wished his commission to be paid off
31:42I arranged for it to be sent here
31:48have it unpacked then
31:55at once
31:57yes
31:57and people think you incapable of deceit
32:19I meant no harm
32:21deceit is harm
32:23go out then
32:26and make reunion
32:27with this image
32:29of your Edmund
32:29I shall look on
32:32after a year with you
32:34of utter boredom
32:35such a diversion
32:36might prove welcome
32:37can you
32:38that you
32:40of utter boredom
32:43you
32:44of utter
32:46you
32:46of utter
33:06Phoebus Apollo, to be sure.
33:36Where are you going to put it?
33:40I haven't decided.
33:44Anywhere so that it will not annoy you.
33:47Oh, it won't annoy me.
34:01What are you doing?
34:03I'm looking at my husband.
34:07My statue.
34:09Why should I not?
34:11No reason why.
34:17None at all.
34:23But are you going to stay here all morning worshipping him?
34:31Well, where are you going to put the monstrous thing?
34:35It can't stay there forever.
34:39I shall find a place for it.
34:43I shall find a place for him.
34:49I am hungry.
34:53I shall find a place for him.
35:25My only love, you are. Come back to me. How could I be so cruel to you, my perfect one? So good.
35:55So true. I am ever faithful to you, Edmund. I think of you. Dream of you. During the long hours of the day.
36:15And through the night. Oh, Edmund. Edmund.
36:25I am always yours.
36:55I am honoured by this visit, Your Lordship. Forgive the workplace of a poor scholar.
37:15That's to my purpose. You say Willows was horribly disfigured. Terribly, sir.
37:26There's something of a draughtsman yourself, I gather. Can you show me on paper?
37:32I can. It's not a sight you could forget. Edmund's face as it was after the fire.
37:40Neither nose, nor ears. Nor lips, scarcely.
37:42Scarred and shrivelled flesh.
37:46Neither nose, nor ears. Nor lips, scarcely.
37:52Scarred and shrivelled flesh. That was his face, sir.
38:02Finish it. I'll wait.
38:18I want it truly disfigured. Do you hear? Then get to work with your paints.
38:36There's the drawing. I want it copied exactly. And remember, no one must hear of this.
38:42No one must hear of this.
38:54Edmund?
39:05Edmund?
39:07I can tell you.
39:08I can tell you.
39:09I'm feeling so tired.
39:10I don't know.
39:12I can tell you.
39:14And I can tell you.
39:15Yeah.
39:16HDD.
39:17Red moon.
39:18It's a little better.
39:20She's been angry.
39:21It's a little more angry.
39:23I can't tell you.
39:24It's so annoying.
39:25It's like, it's a little better.
39:26I can tell you.
39:27It's about 2 minutes.
39:29It's about 25 minutes.
39:30I can tell you.
39:31It's a genius to have been.
40:33Frightened, dear one.
40:39What a baby it is.
40:42Only a joke.
40:44Sure, Barbara, a splendid joke.
40:48But a baby shouldn't go to secret cupboards at midnight
40:51looking for the ghost of the dear departed.
40:53If it do, it must expect to be...
40:56Terrified!
40:58Now, my lady, answer me. Do you love him now?
41:01No.
41:03He's too terrible.
41:06No!
41:07We'll have it again, in the light of day.
41:13Do you love him still?
41:21That means you still do, by God.
41:23It means I will not tell an untruth.
41:28Yet do not wish to incense you, sir.
41:32Then suppose we go and take another look at him.
41:35No!
41:37No!
41:38I've had a little whim.
41:52Have you?
41:53To erect a little shrine,
41:56as it may be called.
41:58A little shrine?
42:03Yes.
42:06To one whom we both equally adore.
42:11I'll show you what it contains.
42:13Oh, take it away.
42:22Please, take it away.
42:24All in good time.
42:25Namely, when you love me best.
42:28You don't quite yet, do you?
42:29I don't know.
42:30I think...
42:31Oh, in pity, take it away!
42:33Nonsense!
42:34One gets accustomed to anything.
42:36Take another gaze.
42:43I don't know.
43:13you will take it away
43:23you will
43:27if you love me
43:31oh I do
43:33I do
43:36and hate him
43:38and his memory
43:39I cannot endure
43:43recollection of him
43:45it fills me with shame
43:51how could I ever
43:56be so depraved
43:58I will never
44:03behave badly again my lord
44:05and you will never put
44:09that hateful statue again
44:11before my eyes
44:12never
44:14then I will
44:19love you
44:20and I will never
44:23never
44:25dream of thinking
44:27a single thought
44:29that would seem like
44:31faithlessness
44:32to my marriage vow
44:39what a wretched silly business
44:56this taking tea
44:58and making chatter
44:59as for Barbara
45:06my ladyship
45:09what is it
45:12what irks you man
45:14the years with her man
45:15the years
45:18she gives birth
45:21to dead children
45:22we have but one
45:25a girl
45:27she clings to me
45:29she's
45:30jealous if I'm
45:31but slightly civil
45:32to another woman
45:33if I drive out
45:35she will come
45:36if I'm hard with her
45:38she responds
45:38with a loathsome
45:39submission
45:40yet all that time ago
45:44you had an iron will
45:45to have her
45:46so I did
45:50and I pay for it
45:53in collar with
45:54every day that passes
45:55give grandmama's love
45:58to your little Beatrice
45:59and tell her
46:00I have a present
46:01for her
46:02oh mama
46:02you spoil her
46:03oh
46:04it is not possible
46:06I do believe
46:08the woman has taken
46:08some kind of madness
46:09there's a pretense
46:12in society hereabouts
46:13that it's not noticed
46:14but it is
46:17perhaps you should
46:19take her abroad sir
46:19a more congenial
46:21climate might
46:22improve her spirits
46:22you look well

46:38your behavior

47:29what you display
47:31to me madam
47:32is not love
47:33it is an obsequious
47:36and unnatural
47:37feeling
47:38not a passion
47:40but an obsession
47:41and one which
47:43I might say
