00:27:10You've acted foolishly at first, and perhaps wrongly afterwards.
00:27:14You don't want your husband to find you faultless, do you?
00:27:17Yes. Yes, I do.
00:27:19I won't stand before him like a child to be admonished and forgiven.
00:27:24But here you are in just such a position before me.
00:27:28Oh, yes. Well, I love you much more than I love Roger.
00:27:31I've often told Molly so.
00:27:33I have determined that I must go away and leave Hollingford forever to be a governess.
00:27:47And Russia comes to that.
00:27:51I can't bear knowing that everybody is talking about me and judging me, because they will.
00:27:58I mean, even you and Molly.
00:28:00You see, Mr Gibson, I will always want admiration and worship.
00:28:08And men's good opinion.
00:28:11Are you saying that you don't love Roger?
00:28:15No, I don't.
00:28:19Well, not as I should.
00:28:22Well, then I believe it is right that you break it off.
00:28:25That poor lad.
00:28:30It's all done.
00:28:40I, uh...
00:28:41I told him everything.
00:28:51Was it very bad?
00:28:54Uh, not in the end.
00:28:56I think he understood.
00:29:04Oh, dear.
00:29:05Do you think life is very dreary?
00:29:07Roger, we'll marry you, Molly.
00:29:26I mean, you'd suit him much better than I would.
00:29:28Cynthia, don't.
00:29:29Your husband's morning and mine tonight.
00:29:31What do you take him for?
00:29:33Well, a man.
00:29:36If you won't let me call him changeable,
00:29:40I'll call him...
00:29:43consolable.
00:29:43Morning, Mr. Osborne, sir.
00:29:53Morning, sir.
00:29:53Morning, sir.
00:29:53Morning, sir.
00:29:55Morning, sir.
00:29:57Morning, sir.
00:29:58Morning, sir.
00:29:59Morning, sir.
00:30:00Morning, sir.
00:30:01Morning, sir.
00:30:02Morning, sir.
00:30:03Morning, sir.
00:30:04Morning, sir.
00:30:05Morning, sir.
00:30:06Morning, sir.
00:30:07Morning, sir.
00:30:08Morning, sir.
00:30:09Morning, sir.
00:30:10Morning, sir.
00:30:11Morning, sir.
00:30:12Morning, sir.
00:30:13I don't know.
00:30:43Is the master here?
00:30:48No, he went out only.
00:30:50Oh, dear.
00:30:51This man come from Humbley Hall and he says Mr. Osborne is dead.
00:30:59Doctor's gone out.
00:31:02He's dead.
00:31:05Agnes!
00:31:06Do you know where Papyrus is?
00:31:08What's the matter, dear?
00:31:09Agnes! Agnes!
00:31:10Don't shout, dear. Ring the bell.
00:31:12What is the matter, dear?
00:31:13Osborne Humbley is dead.
00:31:16Oh, dear.
00:31:18Poor young man.
00:31:19But why the fuss to fetch your father?
00:31:21It's not as if he can do anything if Osborne's dead.
00:31:24I'm going there now.
00:31:25I'll put the side saddle on Nora.
00:31:27I can't bear to think of the squire there alone.
00:31:29Molly, Molly, what are you about?
00:31:31The squire won't want you there, dear.
00:31:33Oh, dear.
00:31:53Oh, dear.
00:31:56It's in the old stature, it's...
00:32:56Won't you eat a little?
00:33:11He will never eat again.
00:33:26He's gone to bed.
00:33:47He asked if I'd let you stay.
00:33:49I really think I should get you home.
00:33:50You're done in.
00:33:51I wish to stay.
00:33:53Do you?
00:33:54How will you manage?
00:33:57I can manage, Papa.
00:34:01You're a good girl.
00:34:05I'll be back tomorrow.
00:34:07Sleep now.
00:34:08I'll be back tomorrow.
00:34:38Oh, I beg your pardon, I didn't see you there.
00:34:44I broke your sleep.
00:34:46No, no, it doesn't matter.
00:34:50Shall I ring for Robinson?
00:34:53You should take some breakfast.
00:34:54I'm brought very low, Molly.
00:34:57That's what it's God's doing, but it comes down very hard upon me.
00:35:00He was my firstborn child, you know.
00:35:07I do try to say God's will be done, but it's harder to be resigned than happy people think.
00:35:14But of late years, we weren't such good friends as we would wish to be.
00:35:22And I wasn't sure he knew how much I loved him.
00:35:30There's something I know that I think I must tell you.
00:35:47Osborne had a wife.
00:35:48Well, tell me more, tell me everything.
00:35:58He said his wife was a good woman and he loved her very dearly, but she was French and a Roman Catholic.
00:36:06And she'd been a servant once.
00:36:10And he gave me her address, in case.
00:36:14He never told me.
00:36:17Well, well.
00:36:18Well, let's pass now.
00:36:20All that ain't gone.
00:36:22We're not blaming him.
00:36:24But I wish he had.
00:36:25He and I had to live together.
00:36:27One of us holding such a secret.
00:36:29There is something else you should know.
00:36:33There's a child.
00:36:35A child.
00:36:38Husband and father.
00:36:41And I didn't know.
00:36:43God bless it.
00:36:45God bless Osborne's child.
00:36:48He had a wife, Gibson.
00:36:51Osborne had a wife and child.
00:36:53And he never told me.
00:36:59You're becoming a very surprising young woman.
00:37:05Knowing so much and telling so little all this time.
00:37:07I never wanted to have secrets from you.
00:37:10No, I know that, Goosey.
00:37:13Someone must write to the wife.
00:37:17You shouldn't say that he's dead.
00:37:18Just that he's very ill.
00:37:19Let her get used to the idea gradually.
00:37:21I'll do it.
00:37:22He confided in me.
00:37:25Does Squire say anything about Roger and Cynthia?
00:37:27No.
00:37:28He doesn't know yet.
00:37:29I saw a letter unopened in the hall.
00:37:32I dare say he'll bear that a good deal better than Roger will.
00:37:37He'll get the news about Osborne and Cynthia's letter at the same time.
00:37:47To think of it all being so sudden at last and so provoking.
00:37:53Just as Cynthia had given up, Roger.
00:37:55If I knew you'd waited one day, dear.
00:37:58I'm not sure I know what you mean, Mama.
00:38:00Why, that Roger is here now, of course.
00:38:03Oh, Mama, please.
00:38:04Well, you know that I hate to think of these things in a mercenary spirit, but it is so provocative.
00:38:09I mean, to see you throwing over two good matches.
00:38:11First Mr Henderson and now Roger Hamlet.
00:38:14But you are not in full possession of the facts, my love.
00:38:17It would appear that Osborne was secretly married and had fathered the child.
00:38:24Poor your girl.
00:38:26That's not yet known.
00:38:27But Osborne married me.
00:38:29He was so young and boyish.
00:38:30Oh, what a deceit.
00:38:33Why, he might have broken your heart.
00:38:34Oh, Mollis.
00:38:36No, I'm sorry.
00:38:37I can't forgive him, even though he is dead.
00:38:39Poor fellow.
00:38:40I think it's possible that his marriage was not contracted with the express intention of deceiving either you or the girls, my dear.
00:38:49But if there is a son, then he'll be the heir.
00:38:56So Roger will be just as poorly off as ever.
00:38:59So, after all, maybe it's just as well you did right to break it off, darling.
00:39:03So you can hardly take any credit for it.
00:39:10It's all true.
00:39:12Osborne, Emily, to Marie, Amy, Shurier.
00:39:16Parish Church and Wittenston.
00:39:19Oh, dear.
00:39:21He was afraid of me.
00:39:23Afraid?
00:39:25Made him keep it all to himself.
00:39:28And care killed him.
00:39:30Oh, my lad, my lad.
00:39:33I know better now, but it's...
00:39:35It's all too late.
00:39:37It's too late.
00:39:39Look.
00:39:41It's the baby's birth certificate.
00:39:43Roger, Stephen, Osborne, Hamley.
00:39:46Boy, a boy.
00:39:47Yes, that's it.
00:39:48My little grandson.
00:39:50I never knew about it.
00:39:52Roger.
00:39:53No, he should be called Osborne.
00:39:56I thought Roger already in the house with us, too, for that matter, but one's a good-for-nothing
00:40:00old man.
00:40:01No, we'll call him Osborne.
00:40:03We'll take him here, Molly, and we'll get a nurse for him, and we'll make sure his mother's comfortable
00:40:09in her own country.
00:40:10This little lad shall never hear a crossword.
00:40:16Osborne, Osborne.
00:40:17Do you know now how much I loved you, my boy?
00:40:23Squire Hamley, do you not think that Osborne's widow would be very reluctant to part with her
00:40:28little boy?
00:40:29I never would.
00:40:31However poor I was.
00:40:33Well, that's you, you see.
00:40:34She's a foreigner.
00:40:35She's better off with her own folk in her own country.
00:40:38Lawyers will arrange it off.
00:40:40I'll get someone to collect the lad and bring it back in.
00:40:42I don't want to see the girl.
00:41:01And he looks at your picture every day, et il dit en anglais, and he says in English,
00:41:08Papa, come, is your spare, and I hope, too, that Papa will come as soon as he can to see
00:41:17his loving Aimé.
00:41:21And that's where he was going, and I never thought it.
00:41:30Who's that now?
00:41:38Please, can I see Mr. Osborne Hamley?
00:41:43He is ill, I know, but, um, I am his wife.
00:41:48I...
00:41:50I...
00:41:51I...
00:41:52Wait there a moment, Miss.
00:41:58Mrs. Osborne, what is it?
00:42:08What is it?
00:42:09Don't keep it from me.
00:42:09I can bear it.
00:42:12Is it Roger?
00:42:18You, Molly, you write me the letter.
00:42:22Can I see him?
00:42:24Well, is he very ill?
00:42:28Well, I've got you.
00:42:38Well, is he very ill?
00:42:39Well...
00:42:58She's not like a French woman, is she, Molly?
00:43:04I don't know.
00:43:06I don't know what French women are like.
00:43:09Poor thing.
00:43:11Looks like a gentlewoman.
00:43:13All but her hands.
00:43:17How do you think she is, Molly?
00:43:18I don't know.
00:43:21I fear it's broken her heart.
00:43:23Nay, nay.
00:43:24It's not that easy to break it out.
00:43:25Sometimes I wish it were.
00:43:28No, we have to go on living all the appointed days,
00:43:32as it says in the Bible.
00:43:33No.
00:43:42Oh, oh.
00:43:45What?
00:43:46Oh.
00:43:47She's here.
00:43:49My love.
00:43:51Hee, hee, hee.
00:43:52He's a jolly little child.
00:43:54He's a proper ram, he is.
00:43:56Yeah, he is.
00:43:57Now, shall we show the doctor, eh, we show the doctor how you smoke, your grandad's pile?
00:44:05Oh, I hope very much that he will not.
00:44:08Well, little poor boy, do him with the arm.
00:44:10Now, where's the nurse?
00:44:12Now, you can go with your nurse, and we'll have some rare fun when this gentleman's gone home, eh?
00:44:19There's me, chaps.
00:44:20Bye-bye.
00:44:20He, he, he, he.
00:44:22Ah, bye-bye.
00:44:24Yeah, yeah. Robinson, pour Clipson some, some more wine.
00:44:28Yeah, Robinson has to keep out of the way, but little chap's taking a strong dislike for his big red nose.
00:44:37Yeah, yeah.
00:44:39So, so how do you find that, Clipson? Getting stronger every day, I reckon.
00:44:43She'll be able to leave here soon, eh?
00:44:45To go where?
00:44:47Well, back to her old people.
00:44:49Well, Molly tells me she has no family or friends alive.
00:44:52I dare say something we arranged.
00:44:54I think, Squire, if you want the child, you'll have to take the mother, too.
00:44:58I'll wait and see what Roger says when he comes.
00:45:00Yes, Roger, he'll know what to do, I dare say.
00:45:02Meanwhile, I need my own child at home.
00:45:04Oh, what's the matter?
00:45:05No, nothing's the matter. I just want her at home, that's all.
00:45:07Under my own eye.
00:45:08She's been overtaxing her strength here, I think.
00:45:11She needs a bit of cosseting herself.
00:45:14Aye, I think on her like a child, am I? Not a stranger.
00:45:17I dare say I've come out upon her.
00:45:20I'll let her go home.
00:45:22My Roger will be home soon.
00:45:24Now, where's that little chap of mine?
00:45:29I'm coming to get you.
00:45:31Where is he?
00:45:32I'm coming to get you.
00:45:34Where is he?
00:45:34I think you are there?
00:45:35I don't want to turn out that head to the next place.
00:45:37No.
00:45:38Where is he?
00:45:39There you go.
00:45:42I'm coming to get you.

00:46:30brown as a berry and with a fine growth of a beard a beard oh i do so dislike that sort of
00:46:38affectation in a young man i would never permit mr kirkpatrick to grow up did he say anything about

00:46:52his way here in time now i must be off good day to you
00:47:03well i don't see there need be any awkwardness on my account
00:47:08i do hope he doesn't choose tomorrow to pay his respects though
00:47:12i've had a letter from mr henderson he says he's visiting this part of the country
00:47:17and hopes to pass through here tomorrow mr henderson oh precious child are we to congratulate you

00:48:52i told him i wasn't very constant he said he liked me just the way i was so
00:48:56you see he's been fairly warned
00:49:01i think he's a little bit afraid though he wants us to be married very soon
00:49:06i'm very pleased miss kirkpatrick that you are going to make a creditable marriage
00:49:15i hope it will efface your former errors of conduct and that you will live to be a comfort to your mother
00:49:22i understand that mr anderson henderson
00:49:27is in the law although there is a general prejudice against attorneys i have known of two or three who
00:49:37were very respectable men and it may well be that your mr
00:49:43henderson is one of them but he is that he's a barrister not an attorney yes yes there is no need
00:49:50for you to speak so loud my dear and when you have been a little in society you will understand that
00:49:57it is bad manners to interrupt now
00:50:06what was i going to say how it about the house party oh yes that was it
00:50:12hollingford has invited half the geographical society and i don't know who else besides to
00:50:18the towers i've never known him to take any interest in party giving before
00:50:24the house will be quite full how delightful it's all in honor of mr watcher hamley the famous traveler
00:50:32and man of science seems the whole world wants to meet him i was wondering if you could spare miss
00:50:42gibson harriet has a great fancy to have her there too yes yes yes i i i i suppose
00:50:52say yes good so that's settled then
00:51:01engaged to a lawyer now you can baggage i cannot yield yield him too
00:51:08you're well out of that my boy
00:51:11well don't say anything against her father
00:51:15can't forget how once i loved her once not anymore
00:51:22well i could tell from my letters her heart wasn't really in it
00:51:29but i wouldn't let myself believe in it
00:51:35it wasn't really her i loved i think it was a notion of her i dreamed of myself
00:51:41kind of hypothetical cynthia never was
00:51:45a bit deep for me that a pretty little thing though no denying it
00:51:52they'll be fine ladies and over the towers no doubt
00:51:56you know i think it was a strange thing how both you boys picked out girls below you
00:52:02in rank and family yet neither of you set your fancies on little molly gibson
00:52:09now there's a lassie who's found a way to my heart molly's like a sister to me
00:52:28i'm afraid you might be pestered so i've detailed my cousin charles to act as your sheepdog and stand guard over you

00:53:13i hope you enjoy now let me introduce you to my cousin charles morton miss gibson

00:53:36no not at all he's he's very kind and not at all like anyone else i know he gave me a wasp's nest as a
00:53:42present once miss gibson you astonish me here we are thank you how are you mommy i'm very well
00:53:51well i wondered if i'd recognize you papa said you had a beard oh no no i i i don't
00:54:00i'm very good mr hamley were the natives not dangerous one hears such stories do they really eat
00:54:24each other only rarely the flesh of the european is considered the real delicacy oh especially the
00:54:35open season all year round of missionaries
00:54:53charles excuse me
00:55:05how do you think my little prodigy is getting on mr hamley very well it seems just the same
00:55:30and yet completely different now good i understand i've had a chance to speak to her
00:55:37i didn't realize she was going to be here
00:55:42who is the gentleman with her sir charles morton my cousin
00:55:59have you known him long
00:56:19I'm trying to get to talk to you.
00:56:21I know.
00:56:22And I've been unlucky.
00:56:25Sir Charles Morton.
00:56:27Do you know him long?
00:56:29No.
00:56:29Not long at all.
00:56:31Lady Harriet told him to take care of me, and he does everything she tells him.
00:56:37I see.
00:56:41It seems so long since I saw you.
00:56:44Yes.
00:56:46I know how deeply we are indebted to you.
00:56:49My father told me you were like a true daughter to him at that worst time.
00:56:53You helped him to bear it more than anyone else could have.
00:56:58I can't tell you how good it is to see you again, Molly.
00:57:02Yes.
00:57:04Your letters meant so much to me when I was in Africa.
00:57:08I think you took much more pains with them than Cynthia did with hers.
00:57:14It's all right.
00:57:15I can't speak of her, Molly.
00:57:17Molly.
00:57:17It's over.
00:57:22For me as well.
00:57:25You both made a mistake, I think.
00:57:27My father's very angry with you.
00:57:37Angry with me?
00:57:38Only because you came here and said if to us at Hamlet.
00:57:41Oh, well, Lady Harriet wanted me, and I don't quite know why, but there's no refusing her.
00:57:45Then will you come and stay at the hall, before I go away to Africa again?
00:57:52Eime has been asking for you, too.
00:57:56May I tell my father you'll come next week?
00:57:58Yes, I should like to, very much.
00:58:03You don't know what a pleasure it will give him.
00:58:05Give us.
00:58:06Give us.
00:58:07Will I see you later?
00:58:09Yes.
00:58:10Of course.
00:58:11Very satisfactory.
00:58:12Sorry, Harriet.
00:58:13Don't follow.
00:58:14Don't you think that your protégé and my favourite young woman are finding out each other's good qualities?
00:58:22Roger Hamlet has more to think about.
00:58:24Molly Gibson's a very pretty, good little country girl.
00:58:27But Roger Hamlet has a glittering career ahead of him.
00:58:29She's trying to trap him into marriage.
00:58:31It'll be a disaster.
00:58:32Surprised you invited him.
00:58:34That's it.
00:58:52But of course you must go to Hamlet Hall.
00:58:59And as I shall be in London choosing Cynthia's trousseau, I think it's a very convenient opportunity to have you out of the house for a few days.
00:59:19Of course, Molly, I do understand your reservations.
00:59:22Of course I do.
00:59:23Do you?
00:59:24Well, yes, of course I do.
00:59:26I mean, you don't feel comfortable associating with a French woman of doubtful rank and, well, I think you're quite right.
00:59:34Well, it isn't that.
00:59:35So what is it then, I pray?
00:59:37Mrs. Goodenough may say you're setting your cap at Roger Hamlet, but what business is it of hers or indeed of anyone else's?
00:59:44You know how to conduct yourself with propriety, even if others don't.
00:59:49And I have never had the slightest concern about you on that score.
00:59:53Though if you were a little more forthcoming, it might not be a bad thing.
00:59:57It didn't do Cynthia any harm in the end, did it, dear?
01:00:00Molly.
01:00:01It's so good to have you back here.
01:00:02Emma!
01:00:03You look so well now.
01:00:04I'm so happy to see you.
01:00:05And are you?
01:00:06So you can come a visiting, though, you've been up with the grand folks.
01:00:25We thought you were going to cut us, Miss Molly.
01:00:30We thought you was going to cut us, Miss Molly.
01:00:35He was up at the towers.
01:00:36He asked me and I went.
01:00:37Now you've asked me and I've come here.
01:00:39Oh, and which did you prefer, then?
01:00:41I don't think I should answer that.
01:00:43Quite too tight, eh?
01:00:44Here, of course.
01:00:46What's the matter, little chap?
01:00:48You have your food.
01:00:49Come here.
01:00:50Come here.
01:00:51Now we sit here.
01:00:52Sit me for granddad's lap.
01:00:54There.
01:01:00Don't you like Roger?
01:01:05He's so good and kind to me.
01:01:07Yes.
01:01:08He's always been good and kind to me as well.
01:01:11I think he likes you very much.
01:01:14He used to be like brother and sister.
01:01:17No, I don't think so.
01:01:20Oh, no, you don't understand.
01:01:23But he was engaged to my sister, my stepsister.
01:01:26But he made a mistake, I think.
01:01:29No.
01:01:30I wish you wouldn't speak about it anymore, am I?
01:01:56Molly.
01:01:57It's the new stuff I had sent on from Africa.
01:01:59It's just arrived.
01:02:01Why don't you come and have a look?
01:02:05I thought you'd be interested.
01:02:07I am interested.
01:02:09Of course I am.
01:02:10Well, come on then.
01:02:10That's the one you did a drawing of.
01:02:25You remembered it.
01:02:26Of course I remembered it.
01:02:28I remember everything you wrote in your letters.
01:02:32How could you think I wouldn't?
01:02:34I'm sorry.
01:02:34I was.
01:02:36Then.
01:02:40Oh!
01:02:41I've hurt you.
01:02:47Tell me what the matter is.
01:02:51You're real, aren't you?
01:02:52Have I upset you?
01:02:56Have I upset you?
01:02:57No.
01:02:58No.
01:03:01I don't understand.
01:03:02I don't understand.
01:03:03I don't see why you don't put up for us still.
01:03:11Don't you think you could like her if you tried?
01:03:13No need for trying to love her.
01:03:15That's already done, but it's too late.
01:03:17It's too late.
01:03:18She's as good as told me so.
01:03:20It's my own fault.
01:03:23There's nothing to be done.
01:03:24Don't let's speak of it anymore.
01:03:25That's nonsense, my lad.
01:03:26That's not the way to go about it.
01:03:27You made a mistake before.
01:03:28She won't hold it against you forever.
01:03:30Just tell her you love her.
01:03:32And if she won't have you now, then wait a while and ask her again.
01:03:35And don't give up trying till you've made her safe.
01:03:37You don't understand, Father.
01:03:39Understand it.
01:03:39Deal more than you think I understand.
01:03:41I understand.
01:03:47So how's my little chap, then?
01:04:03Not well, I'm afraid.
01:04:05Scarlet fever.
01:04:07Molly will have to leave the hose at once.
01:04:10She hasn't had it, you see.
01:04:11Mommy.
01:04:17I gathered these for you.
01:04:23To take home with you.
01:04:27You are kind.
01:04:30Molly, tell me.
01:04:32Have I done something to vex you?
01:04:34Since you were so happy at the towers.
01:04:36No.
01:04:39No, you never vexed me in my whole life, Roger.
01:04:44Then will you give me back one of those flowers?
01:04:47It's a pledge of what you've just said.
01:04:52Of course.
01:04:54You take whichever you like.
01:04:56No.
01:04:58You must choose.
01:05:00I have the full instructions with Martha.
01:05:02She knows what it will be all right, Gibson.
01:05:04Please, Squire Hamley, do you know which is Roger's favourite flower?
01:05:07No, a rose, I dare say.
01:05:08You'll come back directly, won't you, Gibson?
01:05:10Certainly.
01:05:16Here, Roger.
01:05:17Goodbye, Molly.
01:05:24Goodbye, Molly.
01:05:34We must stop while we'll interview us with the hall for the time.
01:05:36If there's one illness I dread, here's this.
01:05:40That's right, Roger.
01:05:48Yes, you'll do.
01:06:02I apprehend no immediate anxiety.
01:06:07Oh, thank you, Mr. Gibson.
01:06:09It's still highly contagious, even to adults.
01:06:13Don't come in here without me until I tell you that it's safe to do so.
01:06:16You know I set off on Tuesday, Mr. Gibson.
01:06:22As soon as that.
01:06:24May I come to the house before I go?
01:06:26I won't run the risk of infection, if you don't mind.
01:06:29Then I won't see Molly again.
01:06:30So that's how it is.
01:06:33Yes.
01:06:34I know what you must be thinking.
01:06:37I only wish you could know what a different feeling this is to my boyish love for Cynthia.
01:06:42I could beat myself for having been such a blind fool.
01:06:46Come come, Cynthia wasn't that bad.
01:06:49I dare say Molly despises me, but I must ask for a chance.
01:06:53Do you think she could be brought to listen to me?
01:06:55Oh, I don't know.
01:06:56I can't tell.
01:06:57Women are queer, unreasoning creatures, and just as likely as not to love a man who's been throwing his affection away.
01:07:03Thank you, sir.
01:07:07I see you mean to give me encouragement.
01:07:08My encouragement is neither here nor there, and if she can stomach you, I dare say I can.
01:07:13Then may I see her?
01:07:14Just once, before I go?
01:07:16No, decidedly not, and there I come in as a doctor as well as a father.
01:07:20No.
01:07:23Very well.
01:07:24Then if I don't come back, I shall haunt you for having been so cruel.
01:07:27Come, I like that.
01:07:29Give me a wise man of science and love.
01:07:31No one to beat him for folly.
01:07:34Goodbye now.
01:07:40Lover versus father.
01:07:42Lover wins.
01:07:53Oh, such a gloomy day.
01:07:55I really do think that Cynthia should have written to me first, after all the trouble that I took over her truce, sir.
01:08:04Molly.
01:08:05Molly, look.
01:08:05Who's that man wrapped in a cloak there?
01:08:08By the park wall, under the beech tree.
01:08:10He's been there for half an hour.
01:08:13He's been looking at this house all the time.
01:08:16I think it's very suspicious.
01:08:17Why, it's Roger.
01:08:21Look, he's waving.
01:08:23He's giving his hand to us.
01:08:24He's saying goodbye.
01:08:26Oh, how romantic.
01:08:29Oh, it reminds me of my former days.
01:08:31Goodbye.
01:08:33Goodbye.
01:08:33Goodbye.
01:08:38Oh, he'll be late to the coach.
01:08:40I must send him on his way.
01:08:41I must send him on his way.
01:09:11I must send him on his way.
01:09:41Mr. Rogers has reminded me most forcibly of a very charming young man I used to know, Lieutenant Harper.
01:09:51He was devoted to me when I was 17 and at Mrs. Duncan's.
01:09:55And when the regiment was ordered to another town, poor Lieutenant Harper, do you know?
01:10:00He came and stood opposite the school door window for nearly half an hour.
01:10:08Molly?
01:10:10Where are you going?
01:10:12who are you going?
01:10:27Who are you going on?
01:10:28Who are you going on?
01:10:29What's up there?
01:10:30Good day.
01:10:33I couldn't go.
01:11:00I couldn't go without.
01:11:05Molly, do I still have any chance with you?
01:11:08Yes.
01:11:09I've been such a fool, I know.
01:11:12Yes.
01:11:15Yes.
01:11:20There's so much I've prepared to say to you.
01:11:23Oh, I should have seen it.
01:11:24It was you that I truly loved even before.
01:11:27You mean it?
01:11:29Yes.
01:11:30I mustn't come any closer.
01:11:41I promised your father.
01:11:42Yes, I know.
01:11:51Molly.
01:11:53Dear Molly.
01:11:54Molly.
01:11:54Will you be my wife?
01:12:03Yes.
01:12:06Yes, I will.
01:12:09Yes.
01:12:09Yes.
01:12:09I'd hope to see her dressed a bit grander now she's a fine lady and mistress of Hamley Hall.
01:12:24Our Molly looks nice in whatever she puts on and there's no airs and graces about her.
01:12:29Not like so.
01:12:32We always knew Roger Hamley loved our Molly.
01:12:35There's only no such thing, Phoebe.
01:12:37Well, he rode seven miles to bring her a wasp's nest and you don't do that for no reason.
01:12:42Excuse me.
01:12:43I need to go.
01:12:44Now, Lady Cummler, this is the young master.
01:12:46Oh, he's a fine boy.
01:12:49Quite a credit to his mother.
01:12:52Come say hello to him, call Roger.
01:12:54Where is he?
01:12:54Yes, Roger.
01:12:55Oh, hello.
01:12:56So, off to Africa again, Holly, to tell me.
01:13:10Must be pretty good at the lingo by now, what?
01:13:12So, yum, yes, for the goal.
01:13:13No, yum, yes.
01:13:16And what does that be, my sister, tell me?
01:13:19Man learns what he needs to know.
01:13:21Really?
01:13:22Oh, well, that's, uh, that's very edifying.
01:13:26I can't help but think it was such a pity I was born when I was.
01:13:30I should like to belong to this generation.
01:13:33Sometimes feel like that myself.
01:13:36So many advances in science.
01:13:38I'd like to see where they all lead.
01:13:41Now, to be in Roger's shoes now, that would be something.
01:13:43To tell the truth, I was thinking of Cynthia.
01:13:46I was quite as pretty as she is a girl, and now look at the difference.
01:13:50I had to live in a small country town with only five servants,
01:13:53while she lives in Sussex Place, keeps a broom, and I don't know what.
01:13:59I only hope she won't be spoiled by it.
01:14:01Witches are a great smear, you know.
01:14:04We're thankful you were spared temptation, my dear.
01:14:07Yeah.
01:14:11Well, what do you say now?
01:14:14Was I not right?
01:14:15Absolutely right, and I was absolutely wrong.
01:14:23Remarkable.
01:14:24Oh, it's not remarkable at all.
01:14:26You men concern yourselves with the eternal verities.
01:14:31We women are content to ponder the petty things in life.
01:14:34I don't know.
01:14:55I don't know.
