Middlemarch is a town of the future with growing industrialization and improved communications such as the railway. For the newly arrived Dr. Tertius Lydgate, the future is the construction of a new hospital where he will be able to continue his laboratory work in medical science. He soon learns however that he will have to support his benefactor's choice for hospital Chaplain if he has any hope of successfully establishing himself. For Dorothea Brooke, the future is marriage to the Rev. Edward Casaubon an intelligent man with whom the equally intelligent Dorothea has had many a stimulating conversation. For Fred Vincy, the future holds a huge inheritance, provided his father doesn't disinherit him owing to his rakish lifestyle and large gambling debts.

02:08The Future?
03:09There we are.
03:15This is Dr. Midgate.
03:17Yes.
03:18Welcome to Middlemarch, sir.
03:20I understand you've purchased Dr. Peacock's practice.
03:23Yes, I have.
03:24Now, don't you be kept busy, sir.
03:26This way, please.
03:27Here we go.
03:57Let's go back through the woods.
04:22Let's go back through the woods.
04:52Come on, Lodo.
04:55We're going to be late.
05:03Thank you, Pimble.
05:04I believe I shall give up riding, Celia.
05:15Oh, don't, don't.
05:17Horses need exercise, you know, and Pimble needs employment.
05:20Yes, I know, but is that all we can do?
05:22Exercise horses and employ servants?
05:24Well, I don't know.
05:26Well, I don't know.
05:26Fence has cost money, you know.
05:28It'll cost you a lot more money if you let them rot, Mr. Brook.
05:31Ah, no, I think you'll find us a middle way road to middle way.
05:35Mr. Brook, the matter's urgent.
05:37The cattle are getting out.
05:38I like them.
05:40I don't know.
05:40My dogs are getting out.
05:41They're getting out.
05:42I don't know.
05:42I'm not sure.
05:42I'm not sure.
05:43I'm not sure.
05:44I'm not sure.
05:44I'm not sure.
05:44I'm not sure.
05:45I'm not sure.
05:45I'll give you a little bit.
05:46the systems needs purging
06:13so i'm moving downstairs and having blood
06:15no no purpose it's relieving to the spirit to be active but in these cases there's nothing to be
06:20done but observe the progress of the fever i shall look at it again tomorrow lidgate
06:27how are you reverend fairbrother well enough as you see finding your feet then
06:33good as if i've been here all my life good i've just been chatting to old mrs hislock
06:38she's some tales to tell about this place in the old days before you came make your blood run cold
06:43lidgate i doubt that very much oh you medical man takes a good deal to shock you you see all
06:48sides of life oh i ran into a friend of yours the other day trolley was the name trolley i knew him
06:53when i was studying in paris he was such a political idealist he wanted to found a utopian community in
06:59the forest did he ever do it i think not he'd been a doctor at a german spa married his richest patient
07:06and retired before he was 30. more of a realist than an idealist i'd have said
07:11what a damn shameful waste of a life some might not say so not everyone has your moral fiber lidgate
07:18but i'm late for a christening shall i be forgiven i doubt it mr balstrode ah good day to you mr fairbrother
07:27dr lidgate will you do me the great favor of walking across to the bank with me
07:32the plans for the new hospital are ready for your inspection are they good good of course excuse us
07:41how soon will it be ready for use a matter of months excellent excellent and i believe i can
07:48assure you but will be dedicated as a fever hospital i've advised that it should that's the new saw bones
07:55is it lidgate yes very well spoken of clever man good family too they say
08:01the architect has vision and and he's been well instructed you know in a few years time we could
08:17have a first class medical school here in middle large why should london and paris and edinburgh have
08:22it all i'm convinced that the causes and treatment of typhoid and cholera will very soon yield to rigorous
08:29scientific investigation and why should they not yield to it here in middle march hi where are the
08:36kitchens oh yes i see good good you will continue to give your services without payment yes of course
08:45i have my general practice mr balstrode am i want so modest i know i can do good here
08:50my aim is to do good small work for middle march and great work for the world
08:54you see i am ambitious i am glad to hear it sir as you know i mean to entrust to you the
09:04superintendents of my new hospital but you recognize the existence of spiritual interests in your patients
09:11yes of course this room here would make an excellent laboratory don't you think i refer to the chaplaincy
09:16of the hospitals i am proposing to the committee that the reverend mr fairbrother should be replaced by the
09:22reverend mr tyke oh what's wrong with fairbrother oh he is a man deeply painful to contemplate
09:31oh i suppose there's not a clergyman in this country who has greater talents really i haven't
09:38yet been pained by finding any excessive talent in middlemarch i mean that mr fairbrother has great
09:43talents but he dissipates them shamefully he lacks spirituality he he brings his calling into disrepute
09:49does he indeed well i i have no knowledge in these matters if if this room were a laboratory dr lidgate
09:57the matter of the chaplaincy will be referred to the medical board it will be voted on you will be
10:03required to vote i trust i may ask of you this at least in virtue of the association between us which
10:11i now look forward to that you will not be influenced by my opponents in this matter
10:20let me boldly confess to you dr lidgate that the affairs of this temporal world are as nothing to me
10:26when they are in conflict with my spiritual duty i trust i make myself clear
10:32i'm not sure if i've made the fair places big enough farm workers cottages a new design
10:47yes very nice but you know uncle they'll never be built dodo
10:52do you think we might look through mama's jewels now and divide them between us i think it would
11:01be lacking in respect to mama's memory if we were to put them by and never look at them
11:05and you know uncle has invited sir james chetham and that other gentleman to dine with us this
11:10evening mr cazabon uncle says he is the most learned man in the county what do you think about
11:16mama's jewels you mean you would like to wear them i thought we both might
11:30look you can wear that with your indian muslin kitty
11:34and dodo i thought this cross for you not as a trinket no you have it have them all dodo how
11:42can i wear ornaments if you never will see it is too much to ask that i should wear trinkets to keep
11:46you in countenance they are lovely though
11:57you know it's strange how deeply colors seem to penetrate one like scent
12:04they look like fragments of heaven here's a bracelet to match it try it please dodo they are lovely
12:18and necklaces are quite usual now really dodo even for christians surely there must be women
12:25in heaven now who wore jewels you must keep these of nothing else say you will dodo
12:34perhaps i shall
12:36so humphrey davy now i dined with him years ago at cartwright's wordsworth was there you know
12:44wordsworth the poet davy was a poet too did you know that or as you might say wordsworth was poet one
12:52and davy was poet two do you follow wordsworth was poet one and davy was poet two
13:03do you know davy casamon no sir i regret that i do not
13:10chatham here studied davy and his agricultural chemistry
13:15but it won't do
13:16no i am reading the agricultural chemistry miss brooke because i want to take one of my farms into
13:21my own hands and see if i can set a good pattern of farming amongst my tenants
13:27do you approve of that why yes very much indeed sir james i wish you could persuade my uncle to do the
13:34same no no no it won't do fancy farming i call it most expensive sort of whistle you can buy you may
13:40as well keep a pack of hounds well surely it's not a sin uncle to spend money in finding out how to
13:45make the most of the land that supports us all ladies don't understand political economy you know
13:52no a little light literature is more to their taste uncle novels you know poetry scott shelley
14:01i have at present little leisure for modern literature i live too much with the dead perhaps
14:16cazabon's engaged upon a great work you know isn't that so cazabon i i believe i am yes
14:24perhaps too great a work for the mind of one man to come with
14:28may i know what it is mr cazabon i'm compiling a key to all mythologies miss brooke
14:38i'm seeking to elucidate those elements which underpin every system of belief known to man
14:45it's not perhaps a subject of great interest to young ladies on the contrary to me that seems like
14:52a wonderful endeavor well you're very kind miss brooke i'm much encouraged how do you arrange your
15:01documents
15:04pigeonholes partly ah pigeonholes will not do i never know whether a paper's in a or zed i wish you would
15:10let me sort your papers for you uncle i would letter them all and then make a list of subjects under
15:16each letter but you have an excellent secretary at hand do you perceive i hear you're determined to
15:22give up riding miss brooke surely that isn't true it is true sir james oh but why you're such an
15:29accomplished horsewoman and it is such healthy exercise and every lady should be a good horsewoman
15:37you know that she may accompany her husband surely it isn't possible you should think riding is wrong
15:44it is quite possible that i should think it wrong for me oh why why i simply feel that there ought to
15:50be a better way to live but surely perhaps we should not inquire too closely as to motives
15:58i believe i understand your response miss brooke thank you
16:13there seems to be so much that is trivial about our lives here
16:15and i'm so very ignorant my education has been so imperfect
16:24so much to do so much to learn
16:30you're truly interested in scholarship oh yes
16:37it must be wonderful to be engaged in some great work as you are
16:40it is a great challenge to to bring together all the major disciplines theology philosophy cosmology to
16:49show how every faith springs from the same ultimate source it is a great endeavor my notes
16:58already present a formidable range of volumes but the crowning task will be to condense these
17:05still expanding insights into into a single unified home oh yes
17:13miss brooke this visit for me has been may i say this
17:22more than pleasant
17:25i have felt the disadvantage of loneliness that
17:30that inevitably accompanies any serious scholarship but the presence of youth
17:38of cheerful companionship
17:42perhaps i've said too much
17:44no not at all
17:46i feel i understand you
17:50and if i say in my turn that i have longed for some great purpose in my life which would give it
17:55shape and meaning
17:59you do not find such an aspiration ridiculous
18:02surprising perhaps and not so young but not ridiculous
18:07no
18:09not ridiculous at all
18:14it's time for me to leave
18:17yes of course
18:18well then a good journey to you and uh a safe one
18:28the full of oats they'll take you a good crack
18:32come on
18:37well well he's not such a bad fellow after all
18:40i remember
19:05i remember
19:05Can you look at me, man?
19:07It seems they're very careful, yeah?
19:09All right, it's good.
19:11Very, really good, right?
19:13Yeah, you're good.
19:19Hey, you know it.
19:29Look at that devil, Mr. Fairbrother.
19:31Ooh, you lovely little player, though.
19:35I could have made a living at it.
19:37It does make a living at it near enough.
19:39Pays for his butter, if not his bread, eh, me lads?
19:45Well, that vicarage's not a paying game.
19:48I don't blame it.
19:51Well done, Mr. Fairbrother.
19:57Found another lamb to fleece the same, Mr. Fairbrother?
20:00More fool you, Mr. Fairbrother, for flying with the clergyman.
20:03Clarity always wins, you know.
20:05The dog's on there, sorry.
20:07And so he is, Mrs. Dollars.
20:09Here.
20:10You.
20:11Yeah.
20:12Master Vintzy.
20:14Over here.
20:16I'm afraid I can't afford to pay you just yet, Mr. Barnbridge.
20:30Oh, he's not a brood.
20:33I hope I shall have to speak to your father about it.
20:37Mr. Danbridge.
20:38Mr. Fairbrother.
20:39You're winning, sir.
20:42Good.
20:44Good evening.
20:46Good evening, sir.
20:46Evening.
20:47Evening, Mr. Dodd.
20:49Evening, Mr. Fairbrother.
20:50Good evening.
21:00Good evening, Mr. Fairbrother.
21:11Lidgate!
21:14Excellent.
21:14Well met.
21:16Are you busy this evening?
21:18Where are you off to?
21:18Just a solitary supper in my lodgings with a book for company.
21:22There's an experiment I want to think about.
21:24Postpone it.
21:25Come home and take a supper at my house.
21:27No, I insist.
21:29Then you can inspect my collection.
21:30What do you say to that?
21:31Here are the glasses, Camden.
21:33Good night.
21:34Good night, Camden, dear.
21:35Good night, Mother.
21:36Good night.
21:37Good night, all.
21:44Formidable.
21:46You're a scientist.
21:49I keep my mind alive.
21:52You have no hobbies yourself?
21:54It's very much I want to achieve in my profession.
21:57Both practically and in theory.
21:59I have the ocean to swim in here.
22:04Many men will call Middlemarch a backwater.
22:07It's ideal for my purposes.
22:10I want to work on fever.
22:12The prevention and the treatment.
22:13I think I'll be able to show dramatic results in a town of this size.
22:17Do you see?
22:17And by example, I want to bring about a general reform in practice.
22:21We shouldn't still be making our money by selling panaceas that are as useful as bottled ditch water.
22:27I believe you'd like to make Middlemarch a model for all England to follow.
22:32That's exactly what I want to do.
22:34In the country, you can follow your own course more easily.
22:37People let you alone.
22:38You can get on with your own life.
22:39Lydgate, I think I should warn you.
22:44You're new to Middlemarch.
22:47It's not the simple place, it seems.
22:50For example, you're my friend, I hope.
22:53But if you vote for me as the chaplain to the new hospital, you'll make an enemy of Bulstrode.
23:01And that is something no one should do lightly.
23:04He can do you harm.
23:06I hope I act on my beliefs, not out of petty expediency.
23:12Life's too short for that sort of provincial moral shabbiness.
23:18And what does Bulstrode have against you?
23:21That I don't teach his opinions.
23:23Which he calls spiritual religion.
23:27It's the sort of Christianity that does more to make people feel uncomfortable than to make them feel better.
23:33It makes me shudder.
23:36And, he says, I haven't the time to look after both hospitals.
23:40That's true.
23:44But I could make the time.
23:48And I should be glad of the 40 pounds.
23:50I should be happier to earn it in the exercise of my vocation, rather than in the billiard room or at the card table.
23:59But let's dismiss all that.
24:03Just remember, if you do vote with Bulstrode, you're not to cut me in consequence.
24:09Idealists and intelligent men are thin on the ground in Middlemarch.
24:12I simply can't afford to do without you, Lidgate.
24:16Thank you, Pritchard.
24:30Knock at Mr. Fred's door again, Pritchard, and tell him it is gone half past ten.
24:34Yes, Mrs. Vinci.
24:37Mama, when Fred comes down, I wish you would not let him have red herrings.
24:41I cannot bear the smell of them all over the house.
24:44Oh, Rosamund, my love.
24:45A red herring's not much, is it?
24:48We women must learn to put up with little things.
24:50It's only the smell of a red herring.
24:51You can count yourself lucky.
24:53You'll be married someday.
24:55Yes, but not to anyone like Fred, and not to anyone who has red herrings.
24:59And not to anyone at all from Middlemarch.
25:02So, it would seem, my dear, for you've as good as refused the pick of them.
25:05Mama.
25:06What is it, Rosie?
25:08I wish you would not say the pick of them.
25:09It is rather a vulgar expression.
25:11Yes, very likely, my dear.
25:14What should I say, then?
25:16The best of them.
25:18Well, I never.
25:19Do you know that sounds just as plain and common to me,
25:21but with your education, you must know, dear.
25:24Good morning, Mother.
25:25Rosie.
25:28Rosamund.
25:29Ham.
25:30Toast.
25:32Potted beef.
25:33Is there nothing else for breakfast, Pritchard?
25:36Should you like eggs, sir?
25:37Eggs?
25:38No.
25:38Bring me a grilled bone.
25:40Yes, sir.
25:41Dearly, Fred, what would you think of me if I came down at half past ten and ordered grilled bone?
25:46I should think you were an uncommonly fast young lady.
25:49I don't see why brothers have to be so disagreeable.
25:51Disagreeable is a word that describes your feelings, Rosie, not my actions.
25:55I think it describes the smell of a grilled bone.
25:57Not at all.
25:57It describes a sensation in your little nose associated with certain finicking notions acquired in Mrs. Lemon's finishing school.
26:05Mother, I shall ride over to Stonecourt this morning.
26:07Oh, to see Mary Garth, I suppose.
26:10It's a pity you have not the patience to go and see your uncle more often, Rosie.
26:13So proud of you as he is and wanted you to go and live with him and now Mary Garth has got in there.
26:19Mary Garth can bear Stonecourt because it was that or becoming a governess.
26:24I would rather not have anything left to me if I must earn it by enduring my uncle's cough and his ugly relations.
26:30Now, Rosie, neither you nor Fred can afford to be so proud.
26:33Uncle Featherstone is fond of you, but he'll leave you nothing unless you show yourselves agreeable.
26:39Those horrid relations of his are camped out in that parlour night and day like carrion crows.
26:45The least you could do is go and sit with him an hour, Rosie.
26:49He's not long for this world.
26:51Very well, Mama.
26:52I'll go with Fred this morning just to please you.
26:55I'll even sing you Banks and Braves for the 137,000th time if my uncle requests me to.
27:02The mass says that there's a new doctor attending Uncle Featherstone.
27:10Yes, Lydgate.
27:11Clever fellow, too.
27:13Ha ha ha, I see.
27:14What do you mean by that?
27:16Now I know why we're going to Stonecourt.
27:18Fred!
27:23Dammit, I wish I had a halfway decent horse.
27:26There, there.
27:27Never mind, sugar.
27:28Come on.
27:32Wait, no, right, no, right?
27:35No.
27:40You'll break my heart, be warm and burn
27:46That cool ball all a flowery fall
27:52Remind me all departed joy
27:59Departed never
28:03To return
28:06Very good, Misty.
28:08Just like a little blackbird.
28:12And what would she know of departed joy?
28:15It's not much, I hope.
28:16Fred, Vinci, come here.
28:25We're off with the lot of you.
28:26Off with you.
28:27Off with you.
28:28I've got a bone to pick with this boy here.
28:36That's it.
28:37Sit close.
28:38Good boy.
28:38Now then
28:41The little bird has told me
28:43That you've got into debt
28:45With your constant playing at billiards
28:47For high stakes
28:48And this same little bird
28:51Tells me
28:52That you've been borrowing
28:53On your expectations
28:54That you've been telling folk
28:57That old Featherstone
28:58Is leaving you his land
28:59And you've been raising ready cash
29:01On the strength of it
29:02Haven't you, sir?
29:03Indeed I have not, sir.
29:04Oh, I hear bull's throat
29:06But the banker tells a different tale
29:08Then he's mistaken, sir
29:09Or he's lying
29:11Or your little bird is
29:14Ah, I can alter my will yet, you know
29:17And I shall mark my words
29:20Unless you contradict the story
29:21I have contradicted it, Uncle Featherstone
29:23Ah, yes
29:24And I want documentation
29:26From Bulstrode the banker
29:28Saying in black and white
29:30That he knows nothing against you
29:32In this respect
29:33I couldn't go and beg Bulstrode for that
29:35It's not a thing a gentleman should ask
29:37Suit yourself, young squire
29:40There are plenty of others
29:42I can leave my money to
29:43Ah, money's a good egg
29:46You're a good girl, Mary
30:04You've got a plain face
30:07And a sharp tongue
30:08And I dare say
30:09You'll never get a husband
30:10But you're a good girl
30:11She's the best girl I know
30:12Oh, shit up
30:14Did you get those books I sent you, Mary?
30:17Yes, thank you
30:19Well, what do you want with more books, Mary?
30:21Because I'm fond of reading, of course
30:23What do you think?
30:23Too fond
30:24You've got the newspaper to read out loud to me
30:27Every week
30:28That's enough for any young girl
30:30I would have thought
30:30I'd like to read to myself as well
30:32And I shall, too
30:33You shall not
30:34I can't abide to see her reading to herself
30:37It's not natural for any young girl
30:39You mind not to bring her any more books, do you hear?
30:43Yes, sir, I hear
30:44Oh, my little blackbird
30:49We haven't had home sweet home yet
30:52Oh, I'm sure everyone thinks I've sung quite enough, Uncle Featherstone
30:56I'll sing it to you next time I come
30:58Next time you come, I may be in my coffin next time you come
31:01Oh, no
31:03Home sweet home, if you please
31:05And quick about it
31:07Meet pleasures and palaces
31:29Though we may hold
31:35There's no
31:37Here, dear, are so humble
31:42There's no
31:44Hey, good morning, sir
31:52Ready
31:54Ready
31:55Here we go
31:59Here we go
32:00There's no place like home
32:11There's no place like home
32:22Ah, very pretty
32:38Very nice
32:40Ah, here he comes
32:45At last, the man of the moment
32:46Dr. Lydgate, this is my niece
32:49Miss Rosamund Vinci
32:50How do you do, Miss Vinci?
32:53I'd heard Miss Vinci was a musician
32:55I confess I hadn't expected she would be quite so talented
32:58Best in Middlemarch
33:00I'll be bound
33:01Middlemarch is not a very high standard, Uncle
33:03I'm afraid we must be leaving
33:06I promised Mama
33:07Fred?
33:08Where is my wife?
33:13Oh
33:14Thank you
33:18They say his uncle is a baronet
33:22There's a great estate in Yorkshire
33:25Yes, there's a Lydgate up at Oxford
33:26Spent no end of money
33:28But rich men may have paupers for cousins, Rosie
33:32It always makes a difference to be of a good family
33:34Did Mary say anything
33:38About me?
33:41Yes
33:41She said she thought you were very unsteady
33:45And that if you asked her to marry you
33:47She'd refuse
33:48Well, she might have waited till I did ask her
33:50I don't know what you see in her, Fred
33:53I should never have thought she was a girl to fall in love with
33:56Then how would you know what men fall in love with girls?
33:58Never know
33:59Does she really say that?
34:03I always tell the truth
34:05She's right, I am unsteady
34:09But I do love her, Rosie
34:12Oh, Laura, now I shall have to talk to father
34:17And get him to butter up Uncle Balstrow
34:19Miss Brock!
34:25Miss Brock?
34:25Miss Brock?
34:26Morning, Lucy
34:27Can I have some of these, Miss Brock?
34:29Of course
34:29Could you look after mug for me, Ben?
34:31Morning, Mrs Barnacle
34:35Morning, Miss Brock
34:37How's your husband?
34:39Still bad, Miss Brock
34:41Yeah, come in
34:42Very honoured, Miss
34:44Try and give him somebody
35:14some of that, Jenny.
35:17That room's so damn.
35:19I have spoken to Mr. Brooke about the roof,
35:21and I shall remind him again.
35:23Thank you, Miss Brooke.
35:24It's very good of you.
35:38Miss Brooke!
35:38I was on my way to see you.
35:45I have a little petitioner for you,
35:47if you'll accept him.
35:50What is it?
35:52A little Maltese gentleman.
35:56I'm sorry, but I cannot bear toy breeds.
36:00I should be terrified of treading on it.
36:02My eyesight's rather poor, you know.
36:05Well, well, no matter.
36:06Here, John, take this, will you?
36:11Can't stand the things myself,
36:13but they tell me ladies like them.
36:16May I walk with you?
36:17Yes, of course.
36:21It's terrible the way we live in ease
36:23while we let our tenants rot and pig-sties.
36:27We deserve to be beaten out of our beautiful houses
36:30with a scourge of small courts.
36:32You think that?
36:33Yes, I do.
36:34You have your own opinion about everything, Miss Brooke.
36:39Do you know, I...
36:40I envy you that.
36:44Lovegood was telling me
36:45you've made a plan for new cottages.
36:48He was full of praise for your ideas.
36:49I'm afraid they will come to nothing.
36:52Uncle won't consent to anything on the estate
36:54that costs him money.
36:55It's shameful.
36:57Miss Brooke,
36:58I should like to consult your plans, if I may.
37:01You see,
37:02I am determined to build new cottages at Freshet.
37:06How very good of you, Sir James.
37:09Nothing would please me more.
37:12How wonderful it would be
37:14if we could set a pattern about here.
37:16Sir James Chetton be setting a thoroughly bad example
37:19to his neighbours in my view
37:20these cottages he proposes
37:22to build folly and madness.
37:24No, of course.
37:25He's a rich man
37:26and I dare say he can afford to pay for his follies
37:29but he should think
37:30of the consequences to others, you know.
37:33Oh, we shall all end up
37:35out of pocket,
37:37I make no doubt.
37:38Well,
37:43so be it.
37:47I shall go over to Loic today.
37:49I thought I might ask Casabon
37:51to dine with us again.
37:52Would that be agreeable?
37:52Oh, no.
37:54Hmm?
37:55Oh, well, perhaps not.
37:57Yes, yes, carry on.
38:00Carry on.
38:01Uncle, I hope you'll invite Mr Casabon
38:03as often as he is willing to come.
38:05Oh, dodo!
38:06Well, at least if Mr Casabon
38:07one can be sure of an intelligent conversation.
38:10You don't like Sir James?
38:11He seems determined to do anything you wish.
38:14Sir James is a good preacher.
38:16More sensible than anyone would imagine.
38:19I suppose you know he's in love with you?
38:23Celia.
38:25Anyone with eyes can see
38:26that he's very much in love with you,
38:28that he thinks you return his affection.
38:30How could he think that?
38:32I've never agreed with him
38:33about anything but the cottages.
38:35Well, I thought it right to tell you
38:36because he went on as you always do,
38:38never looking about you,
38:39never seeing what is quite plain to everybody else.
38:44I must have no more to do with the cottages.
38:47I know it's your favourite fad to draw plans.
38:50Favourite fad, Celia?
38:52Do you think I only care about
38:54my fellow creatures' houses
38:55in that childish way?
38:56How can one do anything
38:59nobly Christian
39:00living among people
39:01with such petty thoughts?
39:03I can't hold it.
39:16I can't be expected.
39:18Continue to tap its function, Marcus.
39:20No.
39:21He's holding his own.
39:23Is it the cholera, sir?
39:24No, it's an acute fever,
39:25but it isn't cholera.
39:27I'm sure you're fat.
39:27Your children are all well.
39:30Yes, sir.
39:31Thank you, sir.
39:32You see,
39:33it's broke again.
39:40I think it'll make him more comfortable.
39:44The new hospital will be open soon,
39:46and we'll be able to treat fevers
39:47of all kinds better
39:48than anywhere else in the country.
39:49But your man will be himself again
39:53long before then.
39:55That's my opinion.
39:56Thank you, sir.
39:57Thank you, sir.
39:57Good morning, doctor.
40:20You asked to see me?
40:22Ah, yes, yes, I did.
40:24I was wondering
40:25whether you had come to a conclusion
40:27as to the chaplaincy
40:29in the new hospital.
40:31Is that all?
40:33Dr. Lydgate,
40:34it is a matter of supreme importance
40:36to me
40:37that the spiritual care
40:38of the patients
40:39be entrusted
40:40to a man
40:40worthy of the charge.
40:43Do you intend
40:43to support me
40:44and vote for Mr. Tyke?
40:46I don't know, Mr. Tyke.
40:47I'm sure he's a very worthy man,
40:48if you say so,
40:49but so is Fairbrother.
40:51And he's done his duties
40:52unpaid for long enough.
40:53Look,
40:53I'm a medical man,
40:55Mr. Bulstrode.
40:56I have no opinion
40:57on these matters.
40:57And I honestly
40:58advise you
40:59to form one,
41:01doctor.
41:02A great deal
41:03may depend on it.
41:04What news have you brought, Uncle?
41:20News?
41:21News about what?
41:22Yeah, about the sheep stealer.
41:23Were you not at the assizes?
41:25Oh, yes.
41:26Poor John Bunch,
41:28it seems that we can't let him off.
41:30He's to be hanged.
41:33Uncle?
41:34There's nothing to be done about it.
41:37Let's go inside.
41:38There's a sharp air driving.
41:40I feel it, you know,
41:41a very sharp air.
41:47I came back by luck,
41:49you know.
41:50Talked with Kazbon.
41:52Saw his library,
41:53that kind of thing.
41:54It seems he greatly enjoyed his visits here
41:57over the last few weeks.
42:00Yes.
42:02Yes, Uncle?
42:04Oh, well,
42:05he seems to have
42:07a high opinion of you,
42:09my dear.
42:10A very high opinion indeed.
42:12The fact is,
42:14he asked my permission
42:15to pay his addresses to you.
42:18Well, I told you,
42:19you were very young and so forth.
42:21I felt I had to tell him
42:22that there was
42:23very little chance,
42:25you know,
42:26but there you are.
42:27In the end,
42:27I had to promise the poor fellow
42:28that I would speak with you,
42:30so,
42:31there,
42:32you have it.
42:34I am very grateful
42:35to Mr. Kazbon.
42:36If he makes me an offer,
42:38I shall accept him.
42:41And that's very well,
42:45Dorothea.
42:47But Chetham,
42:48have you not thought of him?
42:50He is a very good match.
42:53Our lands lie together,
42:55and I believe, my dear,
42:56that Chetham, too,
42:58wishes to marry you.
42:59I mention it,
43:00you see there.
43:01It's impossible
43:02that I should ever marry
43:03Sir James Chetham.
43:05If he thinks of marrying me,
43:06he's made a great mistake.
43:08I should have thought
43:09Chetham was just
43:10the sort of man
43:11a woman would like, now.
43:12Please do not mention him
43:13in that light again.
43:15Kazabon, now.
43:18Well, he's a,
43:19a good match in some ways.
43:23He's a clever man,
43:24a scholar.
43:25I never got anything out of him,
43:26you know,
43:27any ideas.
43:29However,
43:30he's a tip-top man,
43:31maybe bishop.
43:32But, you know,
43:36he's over 5 and 40
43:38and his health's not strong.
43:41Marriage can be a noose,
43:43my dear.
43:45And you're fond of your own opinions,
43:48but a man likes to be master,
43:51you know.
43:51I only mention these things to you.
43:54I just mention them.
43:54Uncle, I don't want
43:55a husband of my own age.
43:58He should be above me
43:59in judgment,
44:01in experience,
44:02knowledge.
44:04And I know
44:04I must expect trials.
44:07I've never thought of marriage
44:08as mere personal ease.
44:11Uncle,
44:11I admire and honour
44:13Mr. Kazabon
44:14more than any man
44:14I have a sore.
44:23Well, my dear,
44:25that being so,
44:28I have a letter for you
44:30from Mr. Kazabon
44:31here in my pocket.
44:33Yes, here it is.
44:38My dear Miss Brooke,
44:40I have your guardian's
44:42permission to address you
44:43on a subject
44:44than which I have
44:45none more at heart.
44:47From the first hours
44:49of our acquaintance,
44:50I discerned in you
44:51a rare combination
44:52of elements
44:53uniquely compatible
44:55with my own needs.
44:57Elevation of thought
44:59and capability of devotion
45:01allied to graces of sex
45:04beyond all my hopes.
45:07Had I not made your acquaintance,
45:09I might well have gone
45:10to the last
45:11without any attempt
45:12to lighten
45:13my solitariness
45:14by a matrimonial union.
45:17To be accepted
45:18by you
45:19as your husband,
45:20my dear Miss Brooke,
45:21I should regard
45:22as the highest
45:23of providential gifts.
45:26In return,
45:27I can at least
45:27offer you
45:28an affection
45:29hitherto
45:30unwasted.
45:30uncle tells me
45:33Mr. Casabon
45:34has been asked
45:34to dine again.
45:35I hope there's
45:37someone else there
45:37and I shan't have
45:39to hear him
45:39eating his soup.
45:40What's so remarkable
45:41about his soup eating?
45:43Really, Dodo,
45:44can't you hear
45:44how he scrapes
45:45his spoon?
45:46Celia, please don't make
45:47any more observations
45:48of that kind.
45:49Why not?
45:49They're quite true.
45:51Many things are true
45:52which only the
45:53commonest minds observe.
45:55And I think
45:55the commonest minds
45:56must be rather useful.
45:58I wish Mr. Casabon's
45:59mother had a commoner mind.
46:00She might have
46:01taught him better.
46:02Celia, please.
46:09It is right
46:10to tell you, Celia,
46:11that I am engaged
46:12to marry Mr. Casabon.
46:16Oh, Dodo.
46:19I hope you will be happy.
46:23I beg your pardon
46:23if I said anything
46:24to hurt you.
46:25Oh, never mind,
46:26Kitty, don't agree.
46:27We should never admire
46:30the same people.
46:41It's better,
46:42fine.
46:43Enjoy the cards.
46:45Be well.
46:48I've been to one.
46:50Yes.
46:52I dare say you're used
46:53to far grand apart,
46:55isn't this, Dr. Lickman?
46:56We like to believe
46:57our little gatherings
46:58are just as jolly.
47:00You can't be serious about it.
47:01Tyke!
47:03Tyke!
47:04No, no, no,
47:05not for me, sir.
47:05His servants are nothing
47:07but evangelical doctrine.
47:09Hey, Livgate?
47:11You get none of that
47:12canned from Fairbrother,
47:12he'll sit down
47:14to a game of whist
47:14with anyone.
47:15Take all your money
47:16if you're not quite sure.
47:17And which way
47:18would you vote,
47:19Mr. Vincent?
47:19Not on the board
47:20anymore, Chichely.
47:21I'm glad of it.
47:22Whichever way
47:23I cast my vote,
47:24I'd be offending someone.
47:27What do you think,
47:28Dr. Lidgate?
47:31I know very little
47:32of the case.
47:33But I don't think
47:34these appointments
47:35should be made
47:35on the basis
47:36of personal lighting.
47:38If you want
47:38to get real reform,
47:39sometimes the only way
47:40is to pension off
47:41all those good fellows
47:42everyone so fond of.
47:43Ah, hang your reforms
47:44is no greater humbug
47:46in the world.
47:47What's wrong
47:48with good fellows?
47:49There's not enough
47:50of them about,
47:50I'd say.
47:51Oh, no, Mr. Fairbrother,
47:53you've done it again.
47:54Will you look at that?
47:55Fairbrother's won again.
47:56Indeed he has.
47:58Every time.
47:59How much do I owe you
48:00with bread?
48:00Five pennies, please.
48:02You can have me
48:02in the workhouse.
48:03You know it's me
48:04I can.
48:04Midgate.
48:08I thought you might
48:09be avoiding me,
48:10having decided
48:11to vote against me.
48:11I haven't yet
48:12decided on my vote.
48:14In any case,
48:15I should never cut you.
48:17Sometimes I feel
48:17I shall starve
48:18in this town
48:18for a want
48:19of intelligent conversation.
48:23Still,
48:24first things first.
48:26Here's the serious
48:27business of the evening.
48:28Come and sit down
48:28to a game of whist, man.
48:30Oh, Dr. Lydgate,
48:30please do.
48:32Thank you, no.
48:33No?
48:35Ah, you're not
48:36the serious man
48:36I took you for.
48:38You're too young
48:39and light
48:39for this sort of thing.
48:41Now,
48:43what's Trump's?
48:44Oh, so...
48:45Dr. Lydgate.
48:51It's Vinci.
48:52I fear you must find
48:53us awfully dull
48:54in Little Mouch.
48:55When I think
48:56of how we must seem
48:56when looked at
48:57through your eyes,
48:58I think we must seem
49:00very stupid.
49:02You have looked
49:02embarrassed.
49:03I've only been once
49:05to London.
49:06I'm just a raw
49:07country girl,
49:08you see.
49:09You call yourself
49:10a raw country girl?
49:12Oh, well,
49:13I pass at Middlemarch,
49:15but I'm really afraid
49:17of you.
49:18Well, I've made up
49:19my mind to take
49:20Middlemarch as it comes.
49:21I'm sure you have
49:22nothing to fear.
49:23I've certainly found
49:24some charms in Middlemarch
49:25which are much greater
49:26than I expected to find.
49:27You mean the rights
49:29towards Tipton and Lowy?
49:31Everyone is pleased
49:32with those.
49:33No, I mean something
49:35much nearer to me,
49:36Miss Vinci.
49:40Oh, my God!
49:42Mr. Fairweather!
49:44I do not believe
49:45why you wouldn't be
49:47that door!
49:48Please ruin me!
49:50I can't finish
49:52it!
49:52I can't finish it!
49:57I can't finish it!
50:16Fair brother is a man
50:18deeply painful
50:19to come to write
50:20anyway.
50:21He lacks spirituality.
50:22He wins his quarling
50:23into disrepute.
50:25A great deal
50:26made of end of it.
50:27Well, I go for Fairbrother, put £40 in his pocket, and you'll do no harm.
50:34He's a good fellow without too much of the parson about him.
50:38Oh, indeed, Mr. Olley, for he spends half his days in the Green Dragon Inn paying billions for money.
50:45Mr. Tyke is a real gospel.
50:49And I shall vote against my conscience if I voted against Mr. Tyke.
50:53Vote against Bullstroad, I suppose you mean, sir.
50:55It's all the same to you, I dare say.
50:57I beg your pardon, sir?
50:58Good afternoon, sir. Am I the last?
51:02No, no, Mr. Brooker. Chairman Mr. Bullstroaden arrived yet.
51:06And all his prodigy, the uniquely talented Dr. Lydgate,
51:10say it's damning that one man should have this town in his pocket
51:15just because half the town owes him money.
51:17Ah, here we are.
51:21Good day, gentlemen.
51:22Good day.
51:23Oh, I see we're not all yet assembled.
51:31Nevertheless, we meet today, gentlemen,
51:35as directors of the board of the hospital
51:37to appoint a chaplain.
51:39The issue is between Mr. Fairbrother and Mr. Tyke.
51:44I believe the qualities of each candidate
51:46are well enough known to us all by this time,
51:49but if anyone wishes to speak...
51:52Ah, yes, well, Fairbrother and Tyke,
51:54now, both excellent men in their way, you know,
51:58and a chaplain with a salary.
52:02I'm convinced by my friends
52:04that Mr. Tyke is everything he should be.
52:07How's that?
52:09Apostolic and so forth, you know.
52:12So I'm sure we're all very happy to come here and vote for him.
52:17Seems to me you've been crammed, Mr. Brook, sir.
52:19What about Fairbrother?
52:23Indeed, sir.
52:24He has been doing the work without pay,
52:27and if pay is to be given,
52:29it should be given to him.
52:31I call it a confounded job
52:33to take the thing away from him.
52:35Absolutely.
52:36Here, here, here.
52:36Raises and debts and stouts.
52:38Yes, Fairbrother, yes.
52:42Excuse me.
52:42Mr. Hawley,
52:46Mr. Brook has been fully informed
52:48of Mr. Fairbrother's character.
52:50Yes, by his enemies.
52:52I take it there is no personal hostility concerned here.
52:56I'll swear there damn well is, though.
52:58Gentlemen,
52:59perhaps we should put the matter to the vote now.
53:02If you would write the name of your chosen candidate
53:04on the slip provided, gentlemen.
53:12Ah, yes, I'll know.
53:35Apologies, gentlemen.
53:38Hi, how are you?
53:39Well, gentlemen,
53:51I perceive the votes are equally divided at present.
53:55Dr. Lydgate,
53:56would you write down your vote, please?
54:09Well, that's settled it.
54:11Mm-hmm.
54:13Damn scandalous business.
54:18You seem to speak with some peculiar meaning, sir.
54:22I expect you to vote with Mr. Bulstrode,
54:24that's all, sir.
54:25Do you regard that as offensive, sir?
54:27Maybe offensive to others.
54:29But I shall not desist from voting with him
54:31on that account.
54:39Ah, gentlemen,
54:47Mr. Tyke is hereby elected to the post of chaplain.
54:51Thank you all very much.
54:52Ah, well, there you are.
55:09Let's go.
55:39Let's go.
56:09Let's go.
56:39Let's go.
