00:00Madame, Messieurs, faites vos jeux.
00:30Striking girl, very striking.
00:50What do you think, Rantanot?
00:52A man might risk hanging for her.
00:55Well, a fool might.
00:56She's with Baroness Lange, ein deutsches Mädchen.
00:59No, no, she's English.
01:01And the rich, who knows?
01:03Who knows that about anybody these days?
01:14Dissette noir, un père et ment.
01:29Dissette noir, un père et ment.
01:44Dissette noir, un père et ment.
01:58Da?
02:00Stop now.
02:03You can take your things back home to England.
02:12My dear, what are you doing?
02:19It's crazy to play this way.
02:21It is the only way.
02:26Les jeux sont faits.
02:28Les jeux sont faits.
02:58Les jeux sont faits.
03:00With Sir Hugo Ballinger.
03:02That is Daniel Doronda, his son.
03:07Adopted son, I should say.
03:10It is assumed that he is Sir Hugo's illegitimate son.
03:14Really?
03:16You are interested.
03:19Possibly.
03:21He seems not like young men in general.
03:24And you don't like young men in general?
03:26No.
03:28I don't.
03:29I don't like young men in general.
03:31No.
03:31I don't like young men in general.
03:32Oh
04:02Oh
04:32Well dear
04:40What do you think of the place
04:43I think it's charming
04:48No one need be ashamed of living here
04:51Well that's a relief
04:53So clever of you uncle to find it for us
04:56It would do for fallen royalty
04:58It's so romantic
04:59We're certainly nothing to be ashamed of
05:02Come on let's go inside
05:03Thank you
05:08Old things as you see
05:16But all quite good
05:18It's perfect
05:21I want to do all the country things
05:23Sketching and archery
05:25And I shall have a horse and ride out every day
05:28Well dear
05:29Welcome to borrow old Betsy as often as you like
05:33No uncle
05:35I mean a proper horse
05:36Something pretty
05:38So you could be proud of me when you see me out on him
05:41But my dear we must be aware of the expense
05:44Oh but I must
05:46It might be managed
05:49She always gets everything she wants
05:52That's because I won't put up with anything less
05:54Come on
05:55Let's explore
05:56You're really too kind to us her
06:00Not really
06:01I'm a rational man Fanny
06:04And I
06:04I make rational judgments
06:07That girl is worth some expense
06:10That has an investment
06:12By God she's a beautiful girl
06:30Yes
06:31I'm rather sorry we invited her
06:35She does rather outshine our poor Catherine
06:39Who is she exactly?
06:40Gwendolyn Harlith
06:42Her mother's Mrs Davila
06:44The second husband died recently
06:46Not a man of substance or breeding
06:49Now they're washed up here
06:51Rex
06:56Not for you Rex
07:00Cousins Rex never works
07:04Besides she needs to capture a fortune
07:07In my heart
07:10In my heart
07:12In my heart
07:12In my heart
07:12In my heart
07:13John
07:13John
07:13John
07:15Wow
07:17Encore
07:18Encore
07:19Encore
07:20Encore
07:21Encore
07:22Yes please Gwendolyn
07:25No I couldn't possibly
07:26It would be too cruel to a great musician
07:28How you must despise us Herr Klesmer
07:31Not at all
07:32It's always a pleasure to see you sing
07:35Oh I say look here
07:37You see what I have to go through Gwen
07:39Herr Klesmer can hardly tolerate anything we English do in music
07:43I suppose we should be grateful for being told the worst
07:46I dare say I have been very ill-taught
07:49As well as having no talent
07:52Yes you have been very ill-taught
07:55Still
07:56You're not quite without talent
07:58Never mind Gwen
08:00Coming from him that's a great compliment
08:02But the music you sing is beneath you
08:05No cries of deep mysterious passion
08:09Well
08:12I'm sure we would all love to hear you play
08:17What right is that damn fellow to insult you?
08:27Every right unfortunately
08:28But it was sweet of you to care Rex
08:32Mr. Klintock
08:34I wish you'd sing to us again
08:36That's the style of music for me
08:38I can never make anything of this tip-top playing
08:43You prefer the mediocre, Gwen?
08:46No
08:46No
08:47No
08:47Not what I
08:48Oh
08:49Dash it
08:49You know what I mean
08:50Excuse me
08:52I must go to poor Mama
08:53She does not like to stay out too late
08:56Imagine being so rich
09:05That you could keep one of Europe's leading composers as a family pet
09:09Even though he does snap and snarl rather
09:13I don't know why anyone would want such a creature around them
09:17But the arrow points have been very kind to you, Gwendolyn
09:21Such a pity they weren't blessed with sons
09:25Such a pity for themselves or for us
09:28But the Klintocks are almost as wealthy
09:32Did you like young Mr. Klintock?
09:36No, he's a fool, Mother
09:37Do you know what he told me?
09:40He's writing a poem in four cantos about croquet
09:45Oh
09:46Is that so very bad?
09:52I wish I didn't have to be married at all
09:54From what I've seen of it, it seems a very dreary life
09:57So many women allow themselves to be made slaves of
10:01And those children
10:03Certainly not fulfilment of my ambition
10:06Daniel!
10:07No
10:08No
10:09No
10:09No
10:10No, you must come in
10:11Things for you to see
10:13Daniel!
10:15Hello
10:16Hello
10:16Dan's here
10:18Oh, come and sit with us, Dan
10:19He hasn't come for that
10:20Oh, hi
10:21Stay for tea, Dan, Daniel
10:23Well, what do you think?
10:38So much life
10:39You've been working hard hands
10:42All thanks to you
10:44At the end of term, I might have had to go out looking for a job without your help
10:47And now I have this chance of studying the great masters in Rome
10:52I have more than I need
10:54What else would I do with it?
10:55I won't forget it
10:56And I hope one day I can pay you back
10:59Everything's come clear for me now
11:02I know what I want to do now, Dan
11:05I envy you
11:06What?
11:07Your certainty, I suppose
11:10Have you told Sir Hugo yet?
11:18No, not yet
11:19Leave Cambridge
11:33Why on earth should you do that?
11:38Your tutor says you should get a fellowship
11:40It's not what I want, Sir
11:41I want to find my own way in the world
11:44Well, how do you propose to do that?
11:48I want to travel
11:48Not the grand tour
11:51I'd like to find out how other people live
11:55Understand their philosophies
11:56I just think there has to be much more to life than Eton and Cambridge and studying classics
12:03No, there's no doubt there is
12:05So you don't want to be an English gentleman to the backbone after all?
12:14Yes, of course I want to be an English gentleman, sir
12:16But I want to understand other points of view
12:21Didn't you spend a year or two travelling in Europe when you were younger?
12:33One year
12:35The best and the worst year of my life
12:41Very well, Dan
12:50Suppose we say this
12:51You take a little time off
12:54And then join us in the summer at Loibron
12:56Who knows?
12:58You might find what you're looking for there
13:00Thank you, sir
13:02Good morning
13:06Oh, Rex
13:07What on earth is that you're riding?
13:10Oh, Betsy, she tries her best
13:11My father can't afford to keep a hunter for me
13:14Not while I'm up at Oxford
13:16You make me feel quite guilty
13:21Why?
13:23You must know your father bought Persephone for me
13:26It's not fair, is it?
13:28I get everything I want and you get nothing
13:30Well, I get the pleasure of seeing you ride
13:33Well, that's true
13:33Shall we go hunting today?
13:36Ladies don't hunt
13:37Not in this part of the country
13:39Girls' lives are so stupid
13:41We can never do what we like
13:42And what should you like to do?
13:44Oh, I don't know
13:46Go to the North Pole
13:47Ride steeplechases
13:50Be a queen in the east
13:52That's Diplo Hall
13:56Sir Hugo Manager's place
13:58His nephew, Manager Grandcourt
14:01Has taken it for the season
14:02Of course, when Sir Hugo dies
14:04Grandcourt will inherit this
14:06And all the rest
14:06He'll be one of the richest men in England
14:09Will he, indeed?
14:12Come on
14:13I can hear the hounds
14:14Good morning, Gascoigne
14:40How's your father?
14:41Very well, thank you, my lord
14:42Do you know
14:44Miss Harless, is it?
14:47Glad to see you here
14:49We shall have a first-class run
14:52Could you know, go with us
14:54Ever try that mare at a ditch?
14:57You wouldn't be afraid, I'd say it's all right
14:59Not the least in the world
15:01Good for you
15:02Right, Jones
15:05Here we go
15:06Come on
15:11Come on
15:12Come on
15:13Gwendolyn
15:14Come on
15:15Come on
15:19Come on
15:24Gwendolyn
15:26Gwendolyn
15:47Gwendolyn
15:59Gwendolyn
16:01Gwendolyn
16:01Gwendolyn
16:14This look at your shoulder.
16:20Oh, dear.
16:21Poor you.
16:23I wish I'd seen it.
16:26Oh, no, I shouldn't say that.
16:28Is it very painful?
16:30Well, yes, it is, rather.
16:33Sorry.
16:34This is awful of me.
16:35I am sorry, really.
16:37My father wants me to spend the rest of the vacation in Southampton.
16:42And I can't really say no.
16:44Southampton?
16:46What on earth for?
16:48Well, I think it's something to do with you.
16:50What do you mean?
16:54Don't you know?
16:56Well, Southampton seems a very stupid place to go to.
17:00Will be for me.
17:04Because you're not there.
17:06That's a very pretty speech.
17:08It's not meant to be a pretty speech.
17:11Would you mind about my going away?
17:12Yes.
17:15Of course I shall.
17:17Everyone is important in this dreary neighbourhood.
17:20For God's sake, Gwendolyn, don't treat me as if I...
17:23I can't go away...
17:25...without telling you I love you.
17:30...and knowing that you love me.
17:35A little at least.
17:37And you do...
17:38Don't touch me.
17:40I can't bear it.
17:42I don't want to be made love to.
17:46Talk about something else or go away.
17:48What's the matter?
17:58I shall never love anybody.
18:00I can't love people.
18:02I only hate them.
18:03Don't break off for me.
18:21Oh, a welcome interruption.
18:23I had had already as much as I could bear of Miss AeroPoint's playing.
18:27Her company now.
18:30Different matter entirely.
18:32And you wonder why nobody likes you.
18:35Come, Gwen.
18:35Let's leave him to himself.
18:40Lamar insists I wear a girl dress for the archery contest.
18:43I think she means to advertise how rich we are to Mr. Grandcourt.
18:48Mr. Grandcourt?
18:50Is he coming, then?
18:52Supposedly.
18:54What is he like?
18:55I don't know. I haven't met him yet.
18:57How disappointing if he should turn out to be a toad.
19:01Disappointing for some.
19:03If he turns out not to be a toad,
19:05perhaps I shall make him fall in love with me
19:07and then send him packing.
19:09What would you say to that?
19:11Nothing at all.
19:12My affections lie elsewhere.
19:15Really?
19:17Who?
19:19I can't say.
19:22You mustn't ask me.
19:24It's impossible anyway.
19:42Ladies, when the board ready,
19:49you may loose your arrows.
19:50You may loose your arrows.
19:51You may loose your arrows.
19:52You may loose your arrows.
19:52You may loose your arrows.
19:53You may loose your arrows.
19:54You may loose your arrows.
19:54You may loose your arrows.
19:55You may loose your arrows.
19:56You may loose your arrows.
19:57You may loose your arrows.
19:58You may loose your arrows.
19:58You may loose your arrows.
19:59You may loose your arrows.
20:00You may loose your arrows.
20:00You may loose your arrows.
20:01You may loose your arrows.
20:02You may loose your arrows.
20:02You may loose your arrows.
20:03You may loose your arrows.
20:03You may loose your arrows.
20:04You may loose your arrows.
20:04You may loose your arrows.
20:05You may loose your arrows.
20:06You may loose your arrows.
20:07You may loose your arrows.
20:08You may loose your arrows.
20:09You may loose your arrows.
20:10It's really rather scandalous of you to do so well, Gwendolyn, on your first outing.
20:32It's not my fault.
20:33If I'm to aim, I can't help hitting.
20:36That might be a fatal business for some young man.
20:39It's their look-out if they get in the way.
20:41I suppose that's what my poor boy Ricks did.
20:44Yes, I suppose it is.
20:49Grandcourt, there you are at last.
20:52Miss Harlath, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Henley Mellinger Grandcourt.
20:57How do you do?
20:57How do you do?
20:59Lord Brackenshaw, Mr. Gascoigne, would you come and settle a point of difference?
21:02Of course, my dear.
21:04What is it?
21:05Miss Benz is claiming a red, but I rather think she has scored the goal.
21:09I used to think archery was a great bore.
21:23And have you been converted today?
21:25Believe I have, yes.
21:35In things of this sort, one generally sees people missing and simpering.
21:42I suppose you're a first-rate shot with a rifle.
21:45I've left off shooting.
21:47But not hunting, I hear.
21:48One must do something.
21:55Are you fond of horses?
21:58Yes.
21:59I never like my life so well as when I am on horseback.
22:03I think of nothing.
22:06I only feel myself strong and happy.
22:11Good.
22:12Just missed winning the golden arrow, Gwendolyn.
22:16Oh.
22:17Juliet Benz picked you on the overall score.
22:20I'm glad to hear it.
22:22One doesn't wish to carry off the best of everything.
22:25Doesn't one?
22:25Why not?
22:28Well, well, doesn't want to make oneself unpopular.
22:33Why should you care what these people think?
22:37I say grand court.
22:39Yes, Lush, when I'm ready.
22:44Miss Harlan.
22:49Mr. Gascoigne.
22:50Who's the other one?
23:02Lush.
23:02He's grand court's friend.
23:04He goes everywhere with him, apparently.
23:06He's grand court's creature.
23:08Grand court doesn't go in for friends.
23:11He keeps Lush to do things for him.
23:13What sort of things?
23:16Things he doesn't care to do himself.
23:18He looks unpleasant.
23:23I don't like him.
23:24Mr. Lush or Mr. Grand court?
23:27Oh, Mr. Lush.
23:30Mr. Grand court rather...
23:33...interests me.
23:48Miss Harloth?
23:52Mr. Clinton.
23:54You don't care to dance?
23:56Won't you have the rest of this one with me?
24:01I don't care to waltz.
24:03Don't care to waltz?
24:05Why ever not?
24:08It's too...
24:09What do you think of Miss Arropoint's dress?
24:18All right.
24:21Not half as pretty as yours.
24:24They say Grand court has come here to woo...
24:27Do they?
24:29He's not working very hard at it.
24:31Ah, these great men.
24:34They have their own way of doing things.
24:38Miss Harloth.
24:40Would you care to dance?
24:44I would be very happy to dance the next quadrille with you.
24:47I would be happy to dance.
24:48I would be happy to dance.
24:48I would be very happy to dance.
24:50I wouldn't be happy to dance.
24:51Somebody told me that you don't like dance.
25:18True.
25:21But as you see, I make an exception for you.
25:24Should I be flattered?
25:27You should take it as a matter of course, as I think you do.
25:41You understand your power.
25:44My power? What power do I have over you?
25:48Do you like this sort of thing?
25:59Yes.
26:00Good.
26:07Shall we sit down?
26:08Yes, all right.
26:19Oh, no.
26:21Keep it to me, Lush.
26:32I don't like that man.
26:35Few people do, but I find him useful.
26:38Miss Harlow.
26:44I should like to see more of you.
26:47You do.
26:48Shall you call on Miss Arrowpoint today?
27:01Shall you call on Miss Arrowpoint today?
27:15No.
27:19Nothing will come of nothing.
27:21When a man intends to marry a million...
27:23But I'm not going to marry a million, Lush.
27:28That's a pity.
27:29You know, it could be very useful.
27:33Useful to you.
27:34Spare your oratory.
27:35I know what I'm going to do.
27:39What?
27:41I'm going to marry the other girl.
27:44Turn out that brute, would you?
27:48Mm-hmm.
27:49Mm-hmm.
27:50I shall get away from you.
28:03I don't think so.
28:13How do you like him?
28:15Very well.
28:17I should like to have a leap with him.
28:18Why don't you, then?
28:24Not while my mama was inside.
28:27I think she knows I would take care of you.
28:36I should like the right always to take care of you.
28:39I'm not sure I want to be taken care of.
28:42If I'm going to risk my neck, I'd rather be free to do it my own way.
28:48I'll take care of you, then.
28:49If you're going to risk my neck, I'll take care of you.
28:50And if I want to take care of you, then, I'll take care of you.
28:51And if I want to take care of you, then.
28:52I'll take care of you, then.
28:53so have you asked her not yet I shall wait till the archery picnic I think and
29:12you think she'll accept she's a fool if she doesn't 43

32:33Please break from your party at the Whispering Stones.
32:41You will hear something of great interest.
32:54They look dreadfully ominous, don't they?
32:57One imagines all sorts of pagan rites.
33:00Human sacrifice.
33:02Gwendolyn, I'm sorry.
33:04I haven't your delicate sensibility, Catherine.
33:07I cross this way, ladies.
33:09And then to Fortress Oaks.
33:11Don't wait.
33:12I'll catch you up.
33:16Are you there?
33:17Miss Harless?
33:18Yes.
33:19I have something to tell you about Malinger Grandcourt.
33:22What?
33:23What do you know of him?
33:24How do you know my name?
33:25Before I tell you, I want your word that you won't tell him or anyone else that you've seen
33:29me today.
33:30He doesn't know I'm here.
33:31Yes.
33:32He doesn't know I'm here.
33:33Yes.
33:34Go on, please.
33:35Go on, please.
33:36My name is Lydia Glacier.
33:37I left my husband for Grandcourt nine years ago.
33:40These children are his.
33:41These children are his.
33:42.
33:43Yes.
33:44What do you know of him?
33:45How do you know my name?
33:47Before I tell you, I want your word that you won't tell him or anyone else that you've
33:50seen me today.
33:51He doesn't know I'm here.
33:53Yes.
33:54Go on, please.
33:55My name is Lydia Glacier.
33:56Yes.
33:59Go on, please.
34:01My name is Lydia Glacier.
34:03I left my husband for Grand Court nine years ago.
34:08These children are his.
34:10Now my husband is dead.
34:12Grand Court should marry me and make my son his heir.
34:20You are very beautiful, Miss Harlis, and very young.
34:26When he first knew me, I was beautiful and young.
34:34I'm very sorry for you.
34:38But what can I do?
34:39I can't make him marry you.
34:42You can promise me you won't stand between him and me.
34:44You won't ruin me and my children.
34:47How could I ruin you?
34:49By marrying him yourself.
34:56Then I shan't.
35:00You promise?
35:04Yes, I promise.
35:26Come on.
35:27Come on.
35:29Come on.
35:30Come on.
35:31Come on.
35:32Come on.
35:33Come on.
35:34Come on.
35:34Come on.
35:35Come on.
35:36Come on.
35:36Come on.
35:37Come on.
35:37Come on.
35:42Wendell, what's the matter?
35:46Mr. Grand Court was looking for you.
35:48You may look if he likes.
35:51I don't wish to be found.
35:55Not by him at all events.
36:04I intend to join the Langans at Loi Bran, Ola.
36:07I shall pack as soon as we get home and take the early train.
36:11I'll be there almost as soon as they are.
36:13We can let them know by telegraph.
36:16They were dying for me to join them.
36:19Well, I've decided I shall, after all.
36:21But why?
36:23What will I say to Mr. Grancourt?
36:27Don't ask me for a reason.
36:30I shall never tell you.
36:34I shall never see Mr. Grancourt again.
36:46You are interested.
36:49Possibly.
36:50He seems not like young men in general.
36:54You want me to introduce you?
36:56Not tonight.
36:57Tomorrow.
36:59Perhaps.
36:59You must return to England at once.
37:00Your father's old company has collapsed and we are ruined.
37:01You must return to England at once.
37:01Your father's old company has collapsed and we are ruined.
37:04Oh, Gwendolyn, when I think that but a few weeks ago we might have been killed, you must return to England at once.
37:10You must return to England at once.
37:11You must return to England at once.
37:14Your father's old company has collapsed and we are ruined.
37:16Oh, Gwendolyn, when I think that but a few weeks ago we might have been allied to one of the greatest families in England.
37:23But I will not speak of that.
37:24But I will not speak of that.
37:25No, don't, Mama.
37:26No, don't.
37:27Mama.
37:28Mama.
37:29Go.
37:30You're over.
37:31Oh, Gwendolyn, when I think that but a few weeks ago
37:33we might have been allied to one of the greatest
37:35families in England, that I will not speak of that.
37:39No, don't, Mama.
37:40You're wishing to raise money on it, or...?
38:01I want to sell it outright.
38:04I'm leaving today and have no plans to return.
38:09No, no, no, it's just a family thing.
38:15Such a nuisance, but there we are.
38:17But to travel alone.
38:18I insist upon it.
38:20I love to travel alone.
38:21And you are sure you have enough money for the journey?
38:24Absolutely sure.
38:25You are too kind.
38:27I shall miss you so.
38:29And the gaming tables?
38:35Roland Harless, a gentleman left this packet for you
38:38a few moments ago.
38:40Roland Harless, a stranger who has found Miss Harless's necklace returns it to her, with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it.
38:48A stranger who has found Miss Harless's necklace returns it to her, with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it.
39:05A stranger who has found Miss Harless's necklace returns it to her, with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it, with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it, with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it.
39:12A stranger who has found Miss Harless's necklace.
39:16A stranger who has found Miss Harless's necklace is above all, with the hope that she can do anything wrong with her.
39:24A stranger who has found Miss Harless's necklace or her, with the school's necklace.
39:25SaWERK
39:31Grancourt, I thought you were a diplo.
39:48Lodge.
39:50Good afternoon, Sir Hugo.
39:52Heronda.
39:53And what in the world brings you here?
40:01Same sort of thing as you, I dare say.
40:05But this traveling's a damn stupid, tedious business.
40:08They're not here for the sake of play, then.
40:11Some people can't get enough of it.
40:13That gambling beauty of yours, Dan, for one.
40:17Have you seen any more of her?
40:18She's gone.
40:19Real English beauty.
40:21Harloth.
40:22Was that her name?
40:24It was here with the Langans.
40:26But they've gone, he said.
40:29Where?
40:30The Langans are still here.
40:32Miss Harloth is gone.
40:33It's possible that you know her.
40:35I believe she lives not far from Diplo.
40:37Yes, I know her.
40:38The rooms are ready now, are they?
40:40Yes, sir.
40:41So sorry for the delay, sir.
40:44Then why do you keep her standing here, ma'am?
40:47Of course, sir.
40:48This way.
40:51He's come here after her.
40:53He's been on the brink of marrying her, but she shied away.
40:57It's well enough she's gone.
40:59No money.
41:00No family.
41:01And dangerous as gunpowder.
41:04Flash!
41:14Well, that girl must be worth running after if she can get Grandcourt to exert himself.
41:20I hope he never finds her.
41:22And why is that?
41:24Would you like to run after her yourself?
41:27You'd easily cut out Grandcourt.
41:29A girl of her spirit would certainly think you were the finer match of the two.
41:33I suppose pedigree and land belong to a fine match.
41:38The best horse will win in spite of pedigree, my boy.
41:42Never mind, ma'am, dear.
41:43Things will come right.
41:44I will do something to make things right.
41:45Come now.
41:46You must be glad.
41:47Because I am here.
41:48Bless you, my darling.
41:49Of course I am.
41:50So what is the position exactly?
41:54Well, my dear.
41:55The first thing we must do...
41:57is move away from Offendine.
41:58And what?
41:59I will do something to make things right.
42:00I will do something to make things right.
42:01I will do something to make things right.
42:02Come now.
42:03You must be glad.
42:04Because I am here.
42:05Bless you, my darling.
42:06Of course I am.
42:11So what is the position exactly?
42:16Well, my dear.
42:19The first thing we must do...
42:24is move away from Offendine.
42:26And where are we to go?
42:31To Sawyer's cottage.
42:35That is impossible.
42:41I couldn't live in a place like that.
42:46You wouldn't see us go to a sad little place like that, would you, Uncle?
42:51I shan't submit to it!
42:53You may not have to, Gwendolyn.
42:56I have made inquiries and heard of a very appropriate situation.
43:02A bishop's family, where there are three daughters, who would live as one of the family and be paid a hundred a year and all found.
43:08A governess, you mean?
43:11There could be no hardships in a bishop's family, dear.
43:15Excuse me, Mama, but there are hardships everywhere for a governess.
43:20What an honour to be looked down on and patronised by a bishop's family.
43:27I have some ornaments.
43:30And I could sell them.
43:31They would make us some.
43:33I'd rather emigrate than be a governess!
43:37Gwendolyn, this is pointless!
43:39Go, Ruth!
43:40Go, Ruth!
43:44I'm scared!
43:55Go, Ruth!
44:18I wanted to consult you, Herr Klezmer.
44:22We have lost all our fortune, and I must find a way
44:26to make my own living.
44:28If I can.
44:31And I thought, if you thought I could,
44:34that I should like to be a singer.
44:36I see.
44:37I know I have been badly taught.
44:40And of course, I should need to study more.
44:44You are, pardon me, you are 20 years old?
44:50Do you think I am too old to begin?
44:53Yes, of course.
44:54But it is not so much that, if you are prepared to work very hard, then in four or five years,
45:01something might be achieved.
45:04As long as that.
45:07Forgive me.
45:10You are a beautiful young lady in polite society.
45:13You are seeking to enter a different world now, where no allowances are made.
45:19People would no longer pretend not to see your blunders.
45:23Have you ever seen a young woman booed off the stage?
45:28Please understand me.
45:30I don't say you are without talent, not at all.
45:36But talent such as yours is commonplace, an acceptable minimum.
45:42You ask my opinion, here it is.
45:48Even if you work very hard, you must not expect to achieve any more than mediocrity.
45:55I see.
46:02But if you wish to undergo the journey, then I salute you as a fellow artist, and I will
46:08do everything I can to help you.
46:10How could you help me?
46:11I couldn't even afford to take lessons from you.
46:14I would forgo the fee for my fiancé's friend.
46:20Catherine is very fond of you, you know.
46:22You're engaged to Catherine Arapoyd.
46:28But you're...
46:29A Jew and a foreigner.
46:34Yes, her family aren't happy about it.
46:40But she loves me, you see.
46:47Well, were you satisfied with the interview?
46:56Satisfied?
46:57Oh, yes.
47:00Am I not to know anything now, Gwendolyn?
47:02There is really nothing to tell now, Mama.
47:05I had a mistaken idea about something I could do.
47:07Herr Klessmer has undeceived me, that is all.
47:09Don't look and speak to me that way, my dear.
47:11I can't bear it.
47:14Mama, it's useless to cry and waste our strength over what can't be altered.
47:22You will live at Sawyer's cottage, and I am going to the bishop's daughters.
47:26We mustn't give way, I dread giving way.
47:33You must help me to bear it.
47:35Yes, what is it, damn you, come in or go away, I can't speak into the garden.
48:03I am.
48:10Writing to Miss Harlath.
48:13What's that to you if I am?
48:16If she accepts you, there's no going back, you know.
48:19Yes, I do know that, Lush.
48:22And?
48:23You know the family have lost every penny.
48:26And in point of money, you're strapped for cash yourself until Sir Hugo dies.
48:30It would be...
48:31It's impossible that you can care much about her.
48:35You'd be encumbering yourself and getting nothing for it.
48:38I know you don't care for her much, Lush.
48:40And I know she cares for you even less.
48:43But if you think I give a damn for your feelings, you're most stupendously mistaken.
48:51Have you any idea why she ran away before?
48:56You have apparently.
49:00I understand she saw Lydia Glacier in Cardell Chase and heard the whole story.
49:12And what follows?
49:22If you propose to her now and she accepts you, knowing what she knows, is that the sort of
49:30woman you or anyone would want to marry?
49:37All right, Lush.
49:38That will be all.
49:40Mr. Grandcourt presents his compliments to Miss Harleth and begs to know whether he
49:46may be permitted to call at Offendine tomorrow after two and to see her alone.
49:54You don't like Mr. Grandcourt anymore, do you, Gwen?
49:57Must one indulge!
49:58Be quiet, Bertha.
49:59There's a good deal.
50:02I think it must be aunt's darling.
50:05The servant is waiting.
50:06Well, let him wait, Mother.
50:07That's what servants are for.
50:09If you don't feel able to decide.
50:14I must decide.
50:19If Mr. Grandcourt has only just returned from Loi Bran, I wonder whether he has heard of
50:27our misfortune.
50:28That could make no difference to a man in his position.
50:31It would to some men.
50:32Look, if Mr. Grandcourt has heard, I think it a strong proof of his attachment to you.
50:44Very well, Mother.
50:56Tell the man that I shall be at home, and if he makes me an offer, I shall have the pleasure
51:00of refusing home.
51:01Your stay on the continent was short.
51:17I was obliged to come home on account of family troubles.
51:30Yes, I've heard that.
51:32So, how does it stand with us now?
51:39What do you mean?
51:41I think you know what I mean.
51:45Well, should I put it like this?
51:51Is there anyone else who stands between us?
51:54I...
51:55Am I to understand that someone else is preferred?
51:58No.
51:59Could I ask you the same question?
52:13Is there anyone who stands between you and me?
52:18No.
52:21You need to have no concerns on that account.
52:23I don't think you can know how bad our troubles are, though.
52:30We have lost everything.
52:31I am fully aware of your situation.
52:34Oh.
52:37You will allow me to relieve you of any anxiety of that kind?
52:42You are very generous.
52:46I seek to please myself, that's all.
52:49Then you consent to be my wife?
52:57I...
52:58Then do you command me to go?
53:00No.
53:05You accept me.
53:09You accept me as your husband.
53:19I do?
53:21Yes.
53:22Yes.
53:31Yes.
53:32...
