01:00I don't wish to discuss the situation or your feelings, Annabelle.
01:03I merely insist you play by the rules.
01:05What are the rules?
01:08I really spell them out.
01:13Very well.
01:14You must spend at least a third of your year at Longlands.
01:21You must perform your various duties there, as you have done so up until now in a perfectly satisfactory manner.
01:27So long as you do that, and so long as you're at least formerly in residence in town and not camping out like a gypsy,
01:35I shall turn a blind eye to whatever you do when you're in London.
01:44In these matters, discretion is all.
01:47If, on the other hand, you create a public scandal, I shall divorce you.
01:50I shall, of course, name your lover and cite him as correspondent, which would ruin any chance he has of political success.
02:00So everything is permissible so long as one is not found out.
02:06Everything and nothing is permissible.
02:12God, can't you see?
02:14To make love to another man's wife is an error of taste.
02:17To make him look ridiculous in public is criminal.
02:21You don't seem to realise how generous these terms are.
02:25You have not yet produced an error, and I have to tell you how to recommend that I return you to Longlands by force.
02:33Then why don't you?
02:34Because I am not a monster, do you understand me? I am not a monster!
02:55But I am not a monster, do you understand me?
03:09Why don't you understand me do you understand me?
03:15I don't understand all of the things I am.
03:17Rose?
03:18The Duchess of Trevena asked to see you.
03:21The Duchess is here?
03:23Well, show her up.
03:25She won't come up, sir.
03:38You're going back.
03:42Forgive me.
03:44You came more for Julius than you thought.
03:46No.
03:48No.
03:49It has nothing to do with Julius.
03:53I'm not going back to Julius.
03:56Yes.
03:57What, then?
03:58Oh, God.
04:00It's as if I've woken from a childish dream.
04:06I must go home and make peace with my household gods.
04:11Can you understand that?
04:14I don't want a life of lies and hypocrisy.
04:17I couldn't bear to live like that.
04:20I'm sorry.
04:20I don't understand.
04:22Do you mean gossip?
04:25Is that what worries you?
04:26Not just that, no.
04:29It's just...
04:31At Longlands, I...
04:33I know what my role is.
04:37And it has substance.
04:40And honour.
04:42Can't that be enough to make up for my unhappiness?
04:44Are you trying to tell me you enjoy being a duchess too much?
04:49I thought you were braver than that.
04:52Do you imagine it doesn't take courage to go back?
04:55Of a narrow, self-defeating sort, perhaps?
04:57Please, please, please, please don't say harsh things, yet I'll remember when I'm alone.
05:04Well, if you're alone, whose fault is that?
05:06I won't let you go.
05:22I won't let you go unless you tell me you don't love me.
05:27Say it.
05:29Look at me and say you don't care for me.
05:34I can't.
05:36You know I can't.
05:40But don't you see?
05:42I'm afraid of having nothing to live for but my passions.
05:45I must go home.
05:51No.
05:52I don't know.
06:22I don't know.
06:52I don't know.
06:54Gertrude, leave us.
06:56I don't know.
06:58I don't know.
07:00I don't know.
07:02I don't know.
07:10Two points, my dear.
07:13Firstly, you should naturally leave Annabelle in peace for six months.
07:17We must be quite certain she is not carrying another man's child.
07:21Mother, I'm sure.
07:22Unfortunately, a father can never be sure.
07:25It will provide you with an excellent opportunity to begin again.
07:30And that is my second point.
07:32My dear, you really must learn to be a lover.
07:38You must woo Annabelle.
07:42Woo?
07:42Mother, Annabelle and I have been married for nearly two years.
07:48Not very successfully.
07:49And I'm sure we can't lay all the blame on Annabelle.
07:52My dear Annabelle,
08:05a small token of my esteem to mark our second wedding anniversary.
08:11Julius.
08:37Good afternoon, children.
08:39Are you all ready?
08:44Yes!
08:46One!
08:47One!
08:48Two!
08:49Two!
08:51Three!
08:52Three!
08:55Here we go.
08:57For these young men and men,
09:01and so stay all of us,
09:03and so stay all of us,
09:05and so stay all of us,
09:07for these young men and men,
09:09for these young men and men,
09:11for these young men and men,
09:13and so stay all of us,

09:24and so stay all of us,
09:25and so stay all of us,
09:26and so stay all of us,
09:28and so stay all of us,
09:30Ah, nice to see you blind yet.
09:34No babies yet.
09:37Oh, hold on.
09:3921, my dear.
09:40Ah, he's going to move on.
09:42You must have babies, young.
09:43They're disappearing fast.
09:45Soon there'll be none of us left.
09:47You have three grandchildren, and two of them are boys.
09:50Oh, boys cannot be relied on.
09:52Boys go to the bad.
09:54Boys get killed at the wars.
09:57No, we must have girls, my dear.
09:59I don't think. Regiments for girls.
10:01Don't listen to a man about his turning into a morbid, rude, old man.
10:12Excuse me.
10:16What is it?
10:19Edina has committed suicide.
10:22She has drowned herself.
10:26They found her last night.
10:27Her body was caught under the jetty.
10:29Oh.
10:31Oh, it's horrible.
10:33Poor Edina.
10:37I'm so sorry.
10:39My fault, I feel.
10:43You know that Edina and I...
10:44Isn't there someone else?
10:46As a matter of fact, no.
10:49There isn't.
10:50I've been quite happy here, you know.
11:01In my way.
11:04Without you.
11:09I've ruined everything.
11:12I know.
11:13So much stupid suffering.
11:23I'm sorry.
11:23I'm sorry.
11:33I scarcely have the right to ask, but I want to come back, Virginia.
11:37Will you have me?
11:38I'm sorry.
12:08I see London has dyed you the usual disagreeable grey, but we'll soon get some colour back
12:21into you and clear your head of that radical London thug, eh?
12:24Come on.
12:25Oh, Miss Tessbelly, is here?
12:30Yes, I've had the pleasure of Miss Tessbelly's company quite often just recently.
12:38Miss Tessbelly's number transferable.
12:42Miss Tessbelly with her.
12:44hmm

13:04Mr. Thwaite, sir.
13:13Why, Thomas?
13:15Message from the Duke. I've just come up from Horton.
13:18Grace puts you down there at the first of the gym.
13:20Did you say what?
13:21The constituency's feeling rather neglected, sir.
13:24Besides, news gets about.
13:27Yes?
13:29Your speech, Mr. Thwaite,
13:31and the small matter of the abolition of the House of Laws.
13:36They're all in a bit of a lather about it down at Horton, sir.
13:39Yes, I might have known.
13:41You represent the people of Horton. You represent me.
13:43You represent the families of people you've known since you were a boy,
13:46not a few of whom have members in the upper hearts.
13:48Well, when I stood for election, I made no bounds about my opinion.
13:51Well, if I may say, you...
13:53No-one remembers you had plans to wipe the House of Laws off the map.
13:56Well, for obvious reasons,
13:58have been a curious issue to raise with me.
14:01This conversation will get us nowhere.
14:02Look, you're still as stubborn as the devil you always were!
14:11Oh, Julius, you totally misunderstand my argument.
14:21Thomas, come here a minute, will you?
14:23You are not to be representing American-style interests in this constituency!
14:26Julius, I am the elected representative of this constituency!
14:28Exactly my point!
14:32The House of Laws is the bedrock of the institution of this country.
14:34Well, that is just my opinion, Julius.
14:36Why, frankly, I question the sincerity of your opinion.
14:38A man who kowtows to the masses.
14:40There's no mind of his own.
14:42No freedom to act on principle.
14:43Oh.
14:44To the end of politics, there's an honourable profession, though.
14:45Honour, of course, may not be your first concern.
14:46Well, we hardly have the masses to worry about just yet.
14:47But you will have.
14:48You will!
14:49You tell me, if you wanted to find a violent, dull-witted drunkard in this constituency,
14:50where would you look, huh?
14:51At the top or the bottom?
14:52Well, that's a matter of opinion, Julius.
14:53Don't...
14:54Don't...
14:55Don't...
15:10Would you just listen to me!
15:12Danger isn't from democracy.
15:13That is just old-fashioned, blinkered nonsense.
15:15The danger comes from hostility between the classes.
15:19The danger comes from hostility between the classes
15:23and from the quite frightening increase in the political power of sheer wealth.
15:28There's no need to get on your soapbox with me.
15:31God!
15:34Don't be such a pompous little ass!
15:40You are a very ambitious man,
15:42but you've only one foot in the stirrup and you've a long way to go yet.
15:44I could knock your foot out of that stirrup any time I please.
15:48And don't you damned well forget it.
15:56I'm disappointed.
15:59Your arguments, third rate, are the arguments of a political adventurer.
16:05What was that?
16:07You say that again to my face.
16:08I called you a political adventurer.
16:10Or should I just say adventurer?
16:12You say you aren't there, Mr. Thwait!
16:16Stay out there, Mr. Thwait!
16:20That's it, you guys!
16:22Take it easy now!
16:23Take it easy, sir!
16:24Julius?
16:25Um, we've all been, uh, waiting for you.
16:33Mr. Thwait.
16:34The Duchess.
16:41I do hope you'll join us.
16:44The children have been rehearsing all week.
16:48Yes.
16:51We can't refuse the Duchess.
16:53Besides,
16:54sure, solidarity is in order, don't you think?
16:55Yerky Doodle went to town and rising on a pony.
17:11He stuck a feather in his cup and called it Macaroni.

17:49Yerky Doodle,
17:50when they talk of someone dying of love this is what they mean this is what happens
18:12it is being given a glimpse of paradise and then being denied it
18:16so that your life turns to ashes in your mouth
18:20what do you expect me to do nan behave as if you meant nothing to me
18:26i might as well dig a hole in the ground and bury myself alive
18:32i remember your hand small and strong like a little animal with the life of its own
18:37stopping my mouth as we stood in front of the corregios
18:42i remember when you came to london we stood one day looking at the river
18:46and you said i should like to close my eyes
18:51have my life end now
18:55and that night i had a dream in which i was searching for you somewhere by the sea
18:59amongst sand dunes at twilight but i couldn't find you only hear your faint sigh like someone's last
19:06breath and just as i was about to give up you reached out and drew me down to where you were
19:12hiding you laughed and called me your darling words i can never hope to hear in reality
19:20you called the other life lies and hypocrisy but what do you call this nan
19:36you
19:41you

21:56I don't know.
21:57I don't know.
21:58Thank you, Julius.
21:59Well, don't be too long, Annabelle.
22:00The great man is a stickler for starting on time.
22:03Julius, I heard Gertrude crying last night.
22:11Wallace came to see me yesterday to ask for her hand.
22:14I sent him packing.
22:15Gertrude is in love with Mr. Wallace.
22:18The man is universally acknowledged to be a bad lot.
22:22Gertrude has a title.
22:24She has money in her own right.
22:25Her place is here with our mother.
22:45Annabelle, Annabelle, how much longer do you expect?
23:01Annabelle, how much longer do you expect?
23:02How much longer?
23:15Belle?
23:30Belle?
23:45Dear Val, I have let you down so badly.
23:52Oh, Annabelle.
23:55Annabelle, if you only knew the number of times I've rewritten the past,
23:59putting in all the things I should have said and should have done to prevent your marriage.
24:05What am I going to do?
24:09It isn't too late for me, is it?
24:10Sometimes I feel like my life is over, like all of my mistakes are closing in on me like a jail.
24:21Oh, my God.
24:23Oh, my God.
24:40Lovely to see you, Felicia.
25:01Well, come along, then. Come along.
25:03Come along.
25:05Annabelle, I think you should know Guy is here.
25:23He arrived this morning with his father, first thing, for the fate.
25:27I suppose he's here to see Felicia.
25:29Well, darling, I don't know.
25:32But as MP for Horton, he wouldn't actually want to have...
25:36Of course. Of course.
25:38He should marry Felicia.
25:42Felicia would make him a perfect wife.
25:46I should go.
25:47Annabelle, wait.
25:49Please wait.
25:50Shall I tell Guy that you're here?
25:54Yes.
25:56Go quickly, Val, before I lose heart.
25:59Ah, Mr. Sperley, have you had tea?
26:03Ah, no, not yet.
26:04Sorry?
26:05Not yet.
26:05Yeah, I do have some of Peggy's from here.
26:07OK?

26:57All up, all up.
27:14Yes, I won.
27:19Duchess.
27:21Annabel, I didn't know you were here.
27:25Why don't you come up to the house?
27:27I don't know you were there, I didn't know you were there.
27:30Oh, hello.
27:31Oh, my God.
28:01Oh, my God.
28:31Oh, my God.
29:01Oh, my God.
29:31Oh, my God.
30:01Oh, my God.
30:03Oh, my God.
30:05Oh, my God.
30:07Oh, my God.
30:09Oh, my God.
30:11Oh, my God.
30:13Oh, my God.
30:15Oh, my God.
30:17Oh, my God.
30:19Oh, my God.
30:23Oh, my God.
30:25Oh, my God.
30:27Oh, my God.
30:29was happy. I didn't love my wife, but she brought out the best in me. Did she? Or did
30:41she only allow you to play safe? At least your son has the courage of his convictions.
30:47Well, I thank God I've been saved from mine. I mean, what in God's name did you think he
30:53were doing? Is self-destruction your idea of courage? Can a woman never be free to choose
31:06her life? To love? To have her own free will? What makes you think you haven't a free will,
31:19Miss Tess Valley. Surely you just exercised it.
31:49Are you okay?
31:50Oh.
32:10I'm standing. I'm standing.
32:13I'm standing. I'm standing.
32:49If you do not divorce, you cannot remarry.
33:05It is your duty to remarry.
33:10You cannot expect me to accept that the Trevenic line ends with you.
33:19Not when I remember everything I went through.
33:24There was no question that I could ever escape my duty.
33:31After all my kindness.
33:37Yes.
34:07No.
34:08No.
34:09No.
34:10No.
34:11No.
34:12No.
34:13No.
34:14No.
34:15No.
34:16No.
34:17No.
34:18No.
34:19No.
34:20No.
34:21No.
34:22No.
34:23No.
34:24No.
34:25No.
34:26No.
34:27No.
34:28No.
34:29No.
34:30No.
34:31No.
34:32No.
34:33No.
34:33maybe he won't do anything
34:43we really should talk about this you know
34:49I know
34:50I'm no lawyer but
34:59I know you could sue Julius for divorce on grounds
35:03of his homosexuality and win
35:05or your marriage
35:07might even be a null
35:08he'd have everyone
35:11sympathy as a woman more sinned against
35:13than sinning
35:14our political career would be
35:17virtually untouched
35:18in the eyes of the world my darling
35:25adultery is one thing
35:26running off with the wife of an unknown man
35:30is ill-advised but forgivable
35:32being named as the correspondent
35:36in a sensational divorce case is not
35:38but
35:41for me to divorce Julius
35:44I would have to prove my case
35:47certainly that'd have to be proved
35:50it's intolerable
35:54I have no illusions but
35:59I could never do something so ugly
36:02as to expose him
36:03then we need never mention this again
36:10this says that the crystal palace is the favorite resort of the people on their great annual holiday
36:23I think we should take the boys
36:25too young
36:28nonsense
36:30there are nearly three
36:31it looks wonderful
36:32here it is Lizzy listen
36:35the 12th duke of Trevenick

36:46lordy lordy
36:49with Mr. Guy Thwaite
36:52Liberal MP for Horden

36:56at least he's not a Tory
36:57Horden
37:00and son of Sir Helmsley Thwaite
37:02this is the first time
37:03scandal has rocked
37:04this illustrious family
37:06since Henry VII
37:07created the first duke of Trevenick

37:17in the house this afternoon
37:19good morning sir
37:38Thomas
37:38I take it you're going ahead as planned sir
37:42of course
37:43political power
37:51in this country
37:52is bestowed by mere accident
37:55of birth
37:56more than 4 million acres
38:01of England
38:01are in the hands
38:03of just 12 individuals
38:05all 12
38:09are members
38:11of the upper house
38:12is it surprising
38:14therefore
38:15that his lordships
38:17deny justice
38:17and delay reform
38:19yes
38:20yeah
38:21I call upon this house
38:24to introduce
38:26as soon as practicable
38:27during the present parliament
38:29a measure to abolish
38:32the house of lords
38:33as an hereditary upper chamber
38:34order
38:38order
38:40the lords
38:44may keep
38:45their rank
38:46and titles
38:47their stars
38:47and garters
38:48indeed they may keep
38:50anything

39:06the honourable gentleman
39:07for Bath
39:08has made an improper
39:09and unparliamentary remark
39:11I will now ask him
39:14to express regret
39:16to the house
39:17the remark is one
39:19I unreservedly withdraw
39:21I repeat
39:24the lords may keep
39:26all their inherited privileges
39:29bar one
39:30their presumed right
39:33to control the way
39:34in which we govern ourselves
39:36the honourable member
39:40for Auden
39:41has spoken with passion
39:42on a subject
39:43dear to his heart
39:46but one on which
39:48I beg to suggest
39:50passion
39:50has clouded his understanding
39:53the house of lords
39:57is not a bastion
39:58of privilege
39:59it is the people's
40:02last line of defence
40:05against the tyranny
40:06of the single chamber
40:08well in that case
40:11in that case sir
40:14the people have a clear right
40:16to ask through me
40:17one of their elected representatives
40:19what else his lordships do
40:21to justify the vast incomes
40:23they draw from their estates
40:25incomes
40:27incomes
40:28which in the majority of cases
40:30are unearned
40:32our British constitution
40:34has been compared
40:35to a hive of bees
40:37the queen bee
40:39is honoured
40:39and revered
40:40by all her subjects
40:42beneath her
40:44come the drones
40:45then there are
40:47the working bees
40:48now the drones
40:51lead an idle
40:53parasitic life
40:55feeding on the fruits
40:56of others laboured
40:57I've no doubt
40:58they think themselves
40:59the finest of insects
41:00yet

43:38You know, when I was a child,
43:44I actually looked forward to going back to school each term.
43:58I don't think Father actively disliked his children, but...
44:05You know, he honestly couldn't tell the girls apart.
44:11And he could never damn well remember my name.
44:16All right, darling.
44:18Can you believe it?
44:23Boy, he used to call me.
44:27Old boy.
44:30Old chap.
44:35Laddie.
44:36Steady.
44:38Steady.
44:43You never knew who the hell I was.
45:04Lizzie.
45:29Lizzie.
45:59Lizzie.
46:29Lizzie.
46:43Darling man.
46:45Oh my darling man.
46:50I'm sure everything you ever thought of me was true and worse.
46:54But I never deserved a friend.
46:57I had to say goodbye.
47:06Put this on the grave for me.
47:27No.
47:28No.
47:29No.
47:30No.
47:31No.
47:32Go with your mama now, do you know?
47:57Shall I go with the dowager or with your mother?
48:04With mother.
48:09Bought Brittlesey?
48:18Bought Brittlesey?
48:33Hat.
48:35Bought Brittlesey?
48:50Bought Brittlesey?
48:57Well, I have to hand it to you.
48:58You're either a very brave man or a complete fool to turn up here.
49:03Father, there are certain things I must say to you.
49:18I don't believe you've read any of my letters.
49:21Besides, I could hardly go away without saying goodbye.
49:26I'm going to South Africa as an engineer again.
49:33The South Africa Company's building a rail link between the Cape and Durban.
49:37Damn good idea. Best place for you under the circumstances.
49:41I'm desperately sorry to have let everyone down.
49:45But you, Father. You especially.
49:49Guy, Guy, Guy. Look, go to Africa if you must, but go alone.
49:52Break off this insane liaison.
49:54That is something I'm not prepared to talk about.
49:57You'll lose honours, love. I promise you that.
50:01And what in God's name does that achieve for either of us?
50:05Well, bearing in mind your opinion of inherited wealth,
50:07it has a certain ironic justice.
50:10Well, if that's the way you wish to see it, Father.
50:13At least you'll not bring that woman here.
50:15That woman will soon be the mother of your first grandchild.
50:19That was the second thing I came to tell you.
50:28You need not have taken the trouble.
50:31It gives me no pleasure.
50:36I've called Yellenden tomorrow to redraft my will.
50:38He won't like to do it.
50:40Well, damn the man. It's not up to him to like or dislike.
50:43In one suicidal move, you've destroyed everything I ever hoped for you.
50:48No, no. For yourself, Father. Not for me.
50:56I believe I love this place every bit as much as you do, sir.
51:00Love isn't everything.
51:04Actually, I agree with you.
51:14One way or another, you have tried to disinherit me for as long as I can remember.
51:18I don't believe that's putting it too strongly.
51:21The legacy from Mother.
51:23The Hilliard miniatures.
51:25The Titian.
51:29Clearly, love isn't everything.
51:35You've always said you look to me to make up for your own shortcomings.
51:38It's become sort of a joke between us.
51:42As if I could be old before my time while you could carry on being a child forever.
51:48But I have my own life to lead as best I can.
51:53Now, if you choose to see nothing but dishonor in what I've done, so be it.
51:57But it was shabby of you to blame Miss Test Valley.
52:02How dare you? How dare you?
52:05Get out!
52:07To hell with you. Just get the hell out of here.
52:10Father, Annabelle and I will be married in Cape Town.
52:13Our child will be born there. I intend to make a success of it.
52:16I need your blessing.
52:46Well, I should be very much in demand now.
52:57Every decent family in the land will know me as the governess who facilitates elopements.
53:03Not quite the danger I'd anticipated for you.
53:10When I called our girls the buccaneers, I couldn't imagine piracy on such a scale.
53:17Well, you know, one's best creations just have a life of their own.
53:22I'm proud of each of them.
53:26Oh, Jackie.
53:28Thank you for taking me in.
53:30I won't embarrass you by staying on.
53:35What will you do, my dear?
53:40Oh, I'll think of something.
53:41Well, I've earned my own living since I was 17.
53:46And I've lived without love for 40 years.
53:53I shall probably manage for another 40 on the same terms.
53:57On the same terms.
54:03You know, Jackie, when I saw Nan and Guy run away together, I nearly screamed out loud.
54:10I don't know if it was envy.
54:13Or fear.
54:16But it was like...
54:18It was like seeing them take a leap into space.
54:20No.
54:21No.
54:23No.
54:25No.
54:27No.
54:29No.
54:31No.
54:33No.
54:34No.
54:35No.
54:36No.
54:38No.
54:40No.
54:42No.
54:44No.
54:45This inconstancy is such
55:10As you too shall adore
55:13I could not love thee dear so much
55:17Love thine honor more
