Still in Rome on their honeymoon, Dorothea begins to realize that her husband is not prepared to share his thoughts or his work with her. When her husband's cousin, the artist Will Ladislaw, calls on her, they obviously have much in common. On their return to England, the Reverend Casaubon makes it clear that his cousin is not welcome to visit them. While the good Reverend is recovering from a heart attack however, Dorothea's uncle Arthur Brooke invites Ladislaw to visit. The new fever hospital is opened to great fanfare and Dr. Lydgate and Rosamond Vincy fall in love. Rosamond's brother Fred is unable to pay his debts and has to rely on Caleb Garth - who co-signed for his loans - to pay his debts.

01:04Good God, it's horrible
01:07It's very vexing, James
01:08You've seen the man, Mother
01:10What business is a shriveled old bachelor like that to marry a young girl?
01:15He has one foot in the grave
01:17He means to take it out again, I suppose
01:19Apparently, she says, he has a great soul
01:24A great bladder for dried peas to rattle in
01:27It does seem most unfair
01:30Broke ought not to allow it
01:32You should insist at least on it's being put on
01:35Who ever heard of Broke insisting on anything except not spending his money?
01:39It is horrible, Mrs Cadwallader
01:41It is
01:43I don't think of myself
01:46Not entirely
01:48I think of her
01:51Well, I throw her over
01:52There was a chance, if she'd married you, of her becoming a sane, sensible woman
01:57But now I wish her joy of her hair shirt
02:00Very perverse, Anna
02:02Very perverse indeed
02:03However, Chatham
02:08If I were a man
02:10I think I should prefer Celia
02:14Celia?
02:16I think you find she admires you as much as a man expects to be admired
02:22She's a sweet girl
02:25Very fond of geraniums
02:27More docile than her sister
02:30Though perhaps not quite so fine a figure
02:32I think I should prefer Celia if I were a man
02:52Oh dear
03:22Thank you, my dear
03:36Here we are there
03:52Welcome to Loic
03:54Oh
03:54Thank you
03:56Well, it's a good old house, you know
04:07Decent proportions
04:09I went into all that once
04:11Palladi and so forth
04:14It's all a bit dark and burnt
04:17Present
04:17Bachelor's house, of course
04:23Bachelor's house
04:24This is my library
04:35As you may well imagine
04:38A great deal of my time is spent in here
04:41And these are my notebooks
04:48For my own work
04:51A key to all mythologies
04:54I think I should begin to learn Latin and Greek, Edward
04:58Well, I could read them aloud to you
05:02As Milton's daughters did to their father
05:05If I remember rightly
05:06The young ladies you've mentioned
05:08Regarding that exercise in unknown tongues
05:10Is a ground of rebellion against the poet
05:12I hope you don't expect me to be rebellious, Edward
05:15Latin and Greek
05:18I fear it might be rather wearisome for you
05:22Well, certainly it would be a great advantage
05:26If you could learn to copy out the Greek characters
05:29And to that end
05:31Yes, it might be very well to begin with a little reading
05:34Education is a possession
05:47Which none can take away
05:49It would only take a little, you know
05:56Very little
05:57Lighter colours, perhaps
05:59What do you think a duck so blue
06:02Everything is just as I would wish it
06:05I'm delighted, my dear Dorothea
06:07Now, favour me with an opinion of the room
06:10Which I've set aside as your boudoir
06:12Oh, yes, well
06:24This could make a pretty wrong
06:26There's some kind of new hang-ins
06:29A sofa or two
06:31That sort of thing
06:32It's rather bad
06:33You mustn't speak of altering anything
06:36Oh
06:37Was this your mother's room, Edward?
06:44Indeed it was
06:46And this
06:49Is your mother
06:56And who is this?
07:03Her elder sister
07:05The sister is pretty
07:08It's an interesting face
07:11You never mentioned her to me, Edward
07:14No
07:15My aunt
07:17Made an unfortunate marriage
07:19I never saw her
07:21Shall we walk in the garden?
07:35Who's that youngster sketching over there, Casabon?
07:38That is a young relative of mine
07:40The grandson, in fact, of the lady whose portrait you noticed
07:43My aunt Julia
07:45Oh
07:45You're an artist, I see
07:51No, I only sketch a little
07:53There's nothing fit to be seen there
07:55Oh, come now
07:56Allow me to introduce my cousin, Mr Ladislaw
07:59Will, this is Miss Dorothea
08:02Miss Celia Brook
08:03How do you do, Mr Ladislaw?
08:05How do you do, Miss Brook?
08:08Mr Brook
08:09This is a nice bit
08:11Is it not?
08:15I did a little myself in this way at one time
08:19Did you know that?
08:20Oh, no, no
08:22This
08:23This is what I call a nice little thing
08:26Done with what we used to call
08:28Brie
08:29Hmm?
08:30I'm no judge of these things, Uncle
08:32I'm never able to see the beauty of pictures that are much praised
08:36They're a language I don't understand
08:39Well, now, there we are
08:41You'll come to my house, I hope, one day
08:45And I'll show you what I've done in this line
08:46Thank you
08:48Well, shall we walk on?
08:52Hmm
08:52What's that young man going to do with himself, Cousin Bond?
09:00Is he going to be a painter?
09:01Or a poet?
09:03He has the look of a poet
09:04Shelley had that look, you know
09:06About the eyes
09:08The answer to your question, sir, is painfully doubtful
09:12My young cousin has many things, but nothing in particular
09:16To put it more charitably
09:18He has not yet found his vocation
09:21His present purpose is to travel abroad
09:24To what end, I do not know
09:26Culture, he says
09:28Well, if you
09:29I've agreed to support him for a year or so
09:31He asks no more
09:32I shall let him be tried by the test of freedom
09:35You must understand, Vinci, that I stretch my tolerance towards you and your family
09:45Because you are my wife's brother
09:47As to your son, Frederick
09:50It was entirely from worldly vanity that you sent him to university and destined him for the church
09:55Now you are reaping the reward of your own folly and his
10:02There's no going back
10:03It's a good British feeling to try to raise your family a little
10:08It's a father's duty to try to give his son a chance in life
10:12What do you mean is to come down in the world? Say so
10:14I am not at all sure
10:16I should be befriending your son by smoothing his way towards the acquisition of Featherstone's property
10:21If you mean to hinder anyone from having money but saints and evangelists
10:26You'll have to give up some profitable partnerships
10:29That's all I can say
10:30It's this sort of thing
10:31Trying to play bishop and banker everywhere makes a man's name stink
10:35Let me remind you, Vinci
10:37It was not your prudence or judgment but my material help
10:42That has enabled you to keep your place in the trade
10:45Well, you like to be master, there's no denying that
10:50You're my sister's husband, we ought to stick together
10:56If you won't put a stop to this rumour about Fred, you might as well slander him yourself
11:07I consider it unhandsome of you to refuse to write this letter, Brother Bulstrode
11:16I consider it very unhandsome
11:20And I distinctly affirm that I have no information that your son borrowed any money on any property
11:32that might accrue to him on Mr. Featherstone's demise
11:38Accrue property demise
11:41Fine words for a speculated man
11:44Come from nowhere, that one, too
11:47Mind you, I hear he owns your father
11:50Lock, stock and barrel
11:52Or his bank does
11:53So what do you expect now?
11:57A little fortune, eh?
11:58There we are
12:08There, there, there, there
12:15And
12:16That's all
12:23Are you, my sir, a little gratitude?
12:31Thank you, sir
12:32I'm very much obliged to you
12:34Ah, I think you are
12:37Mary!
12:49Have I wanted?
12:51No, no, I, I, I came to see you, Mary
12:54What's the matter?
12:57Oh, Mary, you'll think I'm a despicable fellow
12:59Uncle Featherstone has just made me a present of a hundred pounds
13:05A hundred pounds?
13:07Yes
13:08It's very generous of him and I should be grateful
13:11I am grateful
13:12Well, I was hoping it might be more
13:15Because I'm in debt for a hundred and sixty pounds
13:18And a friend
13:19Well, a very good friend
13:22Signed a bill of security for me
13:25Making himself responsible for the whole sum
13:27I was hoping Uncle's gift might clear it
13:28And then I could start afresh with a clean slate
13:30You see?
13:32I confess everything to you
13:36That makes everything better?
13:38No
13:38I thought you looked so sad when I came in just now
13:42It's a shame you should stay here and be bullied
13:45Oh
13:46I have an easy life in comparison to some
13:49I tried being a teacher, but I wasn't fit for that
13:52My mind's too fond of wandering on its own way
13:55Well, I couldn't be a good clergyman any more than you could be a good governess
13:59I never said you ought to be a clergyman
14:00There are other sorts of work, aren't there?
14:03Oh, Fred
14:04Why can't you just resolve on something sensible and stick to it?
14:10We'll never be good for anything, Mary, unless I know you love me
14:13My father says an idle man ought not to exist
14:16Much less be married
14:18Then what am I to do? Blow my brains out?
14:25No
14:25On the whole, I think you'd do better to pass your examination
14:29Mr. Fairbrother says it is disgracefully easy
14:33Oh, everything's easy to him
14:34But it's not cleverness, really
14:37I could pass
14:38I'm ten times as clever as some of the men that pass
14:40Oh, are you?
14:42Then you must be ten times as idle as they are
14:44But if I did pass, you wouldn't want me to go into the church, would you?
14:47Fred
14:47It shouldn't be the question what I want you to do
14:50If you have a conscience of your own, what do you think you should do?
14:53Mary, I do know this
14:54If you won't give me any encouragement, I shall just get worse
14:57I won't give you any encouragement
14:59It would be a disgrace if I accepted a man who got into debt and wouldn't work
15:03Aaron Bella, my dear
15:23Brooke has invited half the town as well as the county
15:29What a to-do
15:33He was never one to spend his money like this
15:37As Boolstray at the bank, huh?
15:42The new sawbones, Letgate
15:44One hears very well of him
15:45Oh, he's a gentleman, he talks well
15:47But I can remember when medical men knew their place and kept it
15:50With the servants
15:52Hicks, for example
15:54He was coarse and butcher-like
15:56But he understood my constitution
15:59But this is too much
16:00Brooke is asking us to sit down with tradespeople
16:03Middlemarch Bagman
16:04Yes, fancy the ribbon manufacturer
16:09Mr. and Mrs.
16:10Well, I'm quite happy to peruse his patent book
16:14But I don't want to eat my dinner with the fellow
16:17Or his awful wife
16:20It'll be some win of Brooke's
16:22He means well enough
16:23I'll tell you what he means
16:24He means to go into politics and stand for Parliament
16:27And as a liberal
16:30As like as not
16:30That's what all this has got up in head of
16:35Toading to the hoi palai
16:38Friends, a few brief words on this happy occasion
16:45I met together to celebrate the betrothal of my dear niece, Dorothea
16:49To my good and learned friend, the Reverend Edward Casabon
16:52And to share their happiness
16:55Marriage, you know, is adjoining a union
16:59A sort of closing up, you see
17:02And yet in another sense
17:04It's a reaching out, an exploration, if you will
17:08And so forth
17:10Progress
17:12Now, that is going to happen whether we like it or not
17:18And that's why I am for it
17:20That's why I'm happy to welcome progressive men here
17:25Men who have the well-being of their fellow men at heart
17:30And women too, of course
17:32Here's Mr. Bulstrode of the bank
17:37You're very welcome to my table, sir
17:40And now Vinci
17:42Who, who
17:44Excellent
17:47Yes
17:48And Dr. Lydgate
17:50Who studied in Paris and so forth
17:53All the new ideas for the new hospital
17:55Progress, do you see
17:57Progress and reform
18:00But in a spirit of temperance and moderation
18:05Let it never be said
18:06That Brooke was not for progress and reform
18:12Excellent
18:13Yes
18:14Ah, I quite forgot
18:22Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the toast
18:25It's a happy couple
18:26My thanks once again, sir
18:38The most delightful occasion in every way
18:41Well, you know, Cazabon
18:42I'm very fond of my nieces
18:44Fonder than I can say
18:45I've tried to do my best for the girls
18:47Since their poor father and mother died
18:50As far as a bachelor can
18:51Do you know, I don't think anything means more to me
18:55Than that they should be happy
18:56I hear you intend to extend your wedding journey
19:02As far as Rome
19:02I think the weather will be mild enough
19:05And of course there are some manuscripts in the Vatican
19:07Which will be invaluable for my research
19:10And I long to see all the antiquities in Rome
19:12And Edward will be able to tell you about every single one, I'm sure
19:16I shall not attend you longer
19:18We shall meet again
19:19Very soon
19:20I still regret that your sister is not to accompany us
19:30We will have many lonely hours, Dorothea
19:34I shall feel constrained to make the utmost use of my time
19:38During our stay in Rome
19:39I should feel more at liberty if you had a companion
19:43More at liberty?
19:45Well, yes, if you had a lady as your companion
19:47I could put you both under the care of a Ciccheroni
19:50And we would thus achieve two purposes
19:52In the same space of time
19:54You must have misunderstood me very much, Edward
19:56If you think I should not value your time
19:58I beg you will not refer to this again
20:02Please don't be anxious about me
20:08Very well, my dear
20:10As you wish
20:17My Lord, Lady Medico, fellow citizens
20:34As Mayor of Middlemarch, I am pleased and honoured to welcome you here
20:39To the dedication of the new Fever Hospital
20:42Built entirely by public and private subscription
20:46And here I might mention the singular generosity of Mr. Nicholas Bulstrath
20:53The medical supervision of the new hospital is entrusted to the care of Dr. Lydgate
21:01Who has volunteered his services gratis
21:05In the furtherance of public health
21:06And the advance of medical science
21:09Yeah, yeah, excellent
21:10Yes, good
21:12The spiritual welfare of the patients is in the capable hands of the Reverend Mr. Tide
21:19Should have been fair, brother
21:22Here, here
21:22Damned his grace
21:24These are stirring times, my friends
21:29Change is in the air
21:31And I, for one, am proud to see our town
21:35So far advanced in reforms
21:38As to make life better for us all
21:41A better life for everyone
21:44That's what you've been
21:45Well said
21:46And now
21:47Here, here
21:48Yes, yes
21:50Well said, Vinci
21:51Progress and reform
21:53The advance of science
21:55Excellent
21:56New ideas about
21:58Ventilation and diet
22:00Mr. Volk, if you wouldn't mind
22:01I do beg your pardon, Lady Medico
22:07Thank you
22:37Are you sure you have time, Edward?
22:57My dear, I am deeply mindful that my studies have caused me to neglect you these past few weeks
23:02I've set aside today for your diversity
23:05Up, today
23:06Up, today
23:06Up, today
23:08Up, today
23:11aman
23:12Signora, watch, watch
23:14Signora, watch
23:16Signora, watch
23:16Quanto
23:17Signora, watch
23:17Oh!
23:18Oh!
23:19Oh, che bello
23:20Oui
23:21Che bello
23:22Qing ass
23:23this site is regarded by many as one of the finest the continent has to offer
23:33indeed I believe Rome is one among several cities to which an extreme
23:38hyperbole has been applied see Rome and die in your case I would propose an
23:44emendation and say see Rome as a bride and live thenceforth as a happy wife I
23:53thought now you might like to visit the Palazzo Doria Pamphili would you like to
23:58see it Edward it is highly esteemed by the cognoscente well yes do you care
24:04about it I'm ready to go if you wish it are you not tired I do it idea as I have
24:14said I've set aside today for your diversion fatigue is neither here nor
24:18that I wish you did not feel that I need divergence well I love to visit the
24:24antiquities of course but only if you enjoy it too I would be far happier if
24:29you would let me help you with your research for the book most persons think
24:36it worthwhile to visit Palazzo Doria Pamphili the great family which created the
24:52collection reached its zenith in the 17th century when one of the sons was
24:56elected to the chair of St Peter as innocent the 10th the god Apollo or Phoebus I
25:06suspect of the Augustan period the cult of Apollo is of course linked to that of
25:11Bacchus and inspired the appalling excesses of the Bacchanalian revels note how
25:18the male and female principles are combined the ancients believed that this
25:22combination served as an inspiration to the arts and music a common theme in
25:36fourth century Athenian sculpture Cupid and Venus was certainly an inferior copy of a
25:44Greek original perhaps we've seen enough for one day shall we go it occurs to me
25:52we are very near the capitoline library I wonder if you might allow me a half an
25:58hour to consult some documents there of course why didn't you say so before
26:07well there's much here of great interest for you a half an hour then
26:22so
26:24that's what you're doing
26:25we look at for the next couple pages and I'll check into that with a
26:26last day
26:28we look at good women
26:29all 8 months
26:30let's see
26:32we look at that
26:33we look at the baton
26:34for some games
26:36we look at that
26:37we look at that
26:39we look at what
26:40our
26:43we look at
26:45Come and look at this woman, quick.
27:15Beautiful. I should like to paint her as the Madonna.
27:32God. Do you know her?
27:38I do. She's married to my cousin.
27:43She's married, but I saw her with some old guy slicker.
27:47Was he the father of the uncle?
27:49Yes, her husband.
27:51Introduce her to me, Ladislaw. I must paint her.
27:54Confound you, Nauman. I don't know what it'll do. I'm not so brazen as you.
28:13I'm sorry, my sister. I'm sorry.
28:15I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know that that occurred.
28:18I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
28:22I'm sorry. I was like this.
28:24Oh, my God.
28:54Oh, my God.
29:24I can be more useful to you and be able to enter a little more into what interests you.
29:31Doubtless, my dear.
29:34Carp is willfully irresponsibly mistaken on the Atruscan fish deities and the world shall know it.
29:39Isn't it time now to do what you used to speak of?
29:42What?
29:43All your notebooks.
29:46Isn't it time to make up your mind what part of them you will use and begin to write your book?
29:52Begin to make your vast knowledge useful to the world.
29:55I can do anything.
29:59Write to your dictation or copy and extract what you like.
30:04Surely, Edward, it must be time to expose your great theory to the judgment of your fellow scholars.
30:10My love, I think you may rely upon me to know the times and the seasons, the different stages of a work which is not to be measured by the superficial judgment of ignorant onlookers.
30:22My judgment was a very superficial.
30:23It had been easy for me to gain some temporary effect, but it is ever the trial of the scrupulous explorer to be saluted by the impatient scorn of chatterers who attempt only the smallest achievement, being indeed equipped for no other.
30:39My judgment was a very superficial one, Edward.
30:42What else could it be?
30:45You have shown me these notebooks.
30:47You have often spoken about them.
30:49You have often said that they need to be condensed.
30:51But I have never heard you speak of the writing that is to be published.
30:56Those are very simple facts.
30:58My judgment went no further.
31:02I only begged you to let me be of some good to you.
31:09I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I was told that I
31:39If you had come a little earlier, you would have seen him.
31:50He goes to read in the library of the Vatican every day.
31:56He stays there all day?
31:58Usually, yes.
32:03Please sit down.
32:09Something amuses you?
32:13Yes, I was thinking of when we first met at Loic.
32:18A figure I cut.
32:19When you annihilated my poor sketch with your criticism.
32:22Surely not. I know nothing of painting.
32:24Really?
32:27I suspected you of knowing so much that you knew just how to say what was most cutting.
32:32That was really my ignorance.
32:33And you've been sketching here in Rome?
32:43Yes.
32:44Then you do mean to make painting your profession.
32:47Mr. Cazabon will be so pleased you have chosen a profession.
32:51On the contrary, I've quite made up my mind against it.
32:54I have no genius for painting.
32:58Things don't come easily to me.
33:00I never get them.
33:01I have heard Mr. Cazabon speak of your want of patience.
33:04Yes, I know Mr. Cazabon's opinion.
33:06He and I differ.
33:07Certainly you differ.
33:08I hadn't thought of comparing you.
33:10Such power of devoted labour as Mr. Cazabon's is not common.
33:14Quite.
33:16Such a pity it should all be thrown away.
33:19So much English scholarship is.
33:21The want of knowing what's been done by the rest of the world.
33:24What do you mean?
33:24I merely mean that the Germans have taken the lead in historical inquiries.
33:28They've solved most of the problems that have bedevilled English scholars for years.
33:35Are you quite sure about this?
33:43I regret it.
33:45Especially, of course, because of my feelings of gratitude and respect towards my cousin.
33:51I beg your pardon.
33:59I guess they are fully away.
34:01I believe it is.
34:02Did you feel good?
34:03It was a good time.
34:03I guess you will.
34:05I am sorry.
34:06I believe you should have done a good time.
34:06You know what?
34:07I didn't do anything.
34:07I don't think so.
34:08I don't think so.
34:09I am sorry.
34:10I never did you have any experience.
34:11I am sorry.
34:13I am sorry.
34:13I am so sorry.
34:14I am sorry.
34:16I am sorry.
34:16I am sorry.
34:18I am sorry, sir.
34:18I am sorry.
34:19I am sorry.
34:19All your notes, all your volumes, but isn't it time now to do what you used to speak?
34:38Isn't it time to make up your mind what part of the mirror is and begin to write your book?
34:44Begin to make your vast knowledge useful to the world?
34:46I can do anything, but write to your dictation or copy and extract what you like.
34:55Surely, Edward, it must be time to expose your great theory to the judgment of your fellow scholars.
35:02Isn't it time now to do what you used to speak of?
35:05Surely, Edward, it must be time to expose your great theory to the judgment of your fellow scholars.
35:10And you received him in my absence?
35:18He came to pay his respects.
35:21To express his gratitude to you.
35:25Doubtless.
35:27Please don't be angry with me, Edward.
35:29Mr. Ladislaw has invited us to see some of the studios of the Religious Painters here.
35:38And you wish to go, no doubt.
35:41Only if you do.
35:42Please forgive me for speaking so hastily to you this morning.
36:02I was wrong.
36:04I fear I hurt you and made the day more burdensome to you.
36:09I'm glad you feel that, my dear.
36:10But you do forgive me.
36:16My dear Dorothea, who with repentance is not satisfied, is not of heaven or earth.
36:26You are excited and I also am feeling the unpleasant consequences of too much mental disturbance.
36:35We shall speak no more of it.
36:40Stop.
36:41Stop.
36:44Stop.
36:44Stop.
36:52Stop.
36:56Sit.
36:56Sit.
36:56Keep going.
36:57Come in.
36:59Set.
36:59Come in.
37:05Come in, level, god.
37:06Good boy, good boy.
37:16So this is Diamond.
37:27Well, I'm very disappointed.
37:29Wouldn't have him as a gift.
37:31I wouldn't touch him with a toasting book.
37:34He looks a nasty brute to me.
37:36Not him, sir. Only once ridin'.
37:41Lord Medlicut's man was lookin' for a grey.
37:45Look at the devil, young Vincy.
37:47Look of old Nick.
37:49If you can sell him unto Lord Medlicut, you're a might man.
37:54No, Diamond!
37:55Steady! Dad, be careful!
37:58Steady, Diamond!
38:00Oh!
38:03Right.
38:07Is this your great bargain, then?
38:09Diamond!
38:11Diamond!
38:12I can't imagine who would buy a brute like that!
38:17Fred, Mary's just been here.
38:19Good morning, Mrs Garth.
38:21You've missed her.
38:22Come in.
38:26Fred!
38:27What's going on?
38:28You can't, though.
38:29I'll take her, Mother.
38:30Thank you, Fred.
38:32Go on.
38:33Go on outside!
38:34Oh, but we want to stay and talk to Fred!
38:37Good!
38:38But we want to take Fred!
38:40Sit down, Fred.
38:41Caleb will be down directly.
38:43Why can't we speak Fred?
38:44I'll let you and Ben your own pupils now, Mrs Garth.
38:47Oh, I'm at a low app for pupils.
38:49But I've saved my purse for Alprey's apprenticeship.
38:52All of 92 pound.
38:54He can go to Mr Hammer's now.
38:57Mrs Garth?
38:58Caleb wants the boy to have his chance.
39:01He thinks he may turn out a famous engineer.
39:04Oh, Fred, my boy.
39:05You look poor, isn't it?
39:06Is anything the matter?
39:07Yes, Mr Garth.
39:08I'm afraid you're going to have a rather poor opinion of me, but I've come to tell you that
39:24I can't keep my word.
39:26I can't meet Mr Bambridge's bill after all, and he's demanding immediate payment.
39:33I've pleaded with him, but the man's iron.
39:38I owe 160, and all I have are these 50 pounds.
39:46What do you mean?
39:49Oh, I forgot to tell you, Susan.
39:53I put my name to some bills Fred had run up with Mr Bambridge.
39:58Fred was sure he'd be able to pay them himself.
40:01What was he?
40:10It's come at a bad time.
40:16I shall need everything we have in the bank.
40:19110 pounds.
40:21I suppose you've asked your father.
40:24It would be of no use.
40:25He wouldn't give me a penny.
40:28It's clear what we must do.
40:34I shall give you the 92 pound I put by for Alfred's premium.
40:41And I'm sure Mary will have saved 20 pound by now from what Mr Featherstone gives her.
40:46I shall certainly pay it all back, Mrs Garth, ultimately.
40:49Yes, you will, ultimately.
40:51But boys can't be apprenticed ultimately.
40:54They must be apprenticed at 15.
40:56It is my fault, Susan.
40:58I had no business signing that bill for Fred.
41:01I suppose you have tried all...
41:05I have tried everything, Mr Garth.
41:07I had bad luck with the horse I was selling that turned out wrong.
41:10I have no horse at all now.
41:12I came on Rosie's horse.
41:14I hate having brought this on you.
41:22There's no one else I care so much for.
41:24And...
41:25And now you will always think me a scoundrel.
41:30Well, Fred.
41:31You must ride over to Mary.
41:34And ask the child for what money she has.
41:44I'm sorry.
42:0515, 16, 17...
42:10One.
42:11Two.
42:13Three.
42:15Four.
42:19You may tell father I have enough to cover the rest of your debt and six pounds over.
42:26Mary, I can't bear this.
42:28Yes, you can.
42:31I'm so very sorry.
42:34I'm sure you are now.
42:37I didn't mean any of it.
42:41I had such terrible luck.
42:43But when you have bad luck,
42:46other people suffer for it.
42:50Mary.
42:52What?
42:54Do you hate me now?
42:57I don't think well of you.
43:01I don't think I could go on living if you hated me.
43:03If I lose my hope of you, I...
43:09I have no hope at all.
43:16I could never hate you, Fred.
43:19You were my best friend when I was a little girl.
43:23And you've always been good to me.
43:25And happy to know me, even when the rest of your family put on such airs.
43:29But I cannot respect you.
43:33Every chance you get, you waste.
43:37How could I respect you?
43:40And how could I marry a man I can't respect?
43:44I wish you were a better man, Fred.
43:46Mary!
43:48Where are you, Missy?
43:50I want my chamber pot!
43:53But that devil you ask her!
43:56But, but...
43:57Get over, you ask her!
44:09Mother.
44:11My Fred!
44:13You are pale!
44:15What is it, dear?
44:17Whatever is the matter?
44:19He's drunk, Mama.
44:20I feel rather strange, Mother.
44:21I think you'd better send for a wrench.
44:22Oh, my dear.
44:23Stay here.
44:25Pritchard!
44:27Pritchard!
44:32What is it, Dr. Wrench?
44:34Ah, slight derangement is all.
44:38I pray nothing serious.
44:42Ah.
44:44Ah.
44:46Ah, the system needs purging, I word.
44:48Spoonful or two of Dr. Wrench's black draught will suffice.
44:54We'll have you ridin' to hounds again in no time, young man.
44:59Good day, then, Mum.
45:01Good day, Dr. Wrench.
45:03Thank you kindly.
45:04Lou, please.
45:06No, please.
45:08That's okay.
45:10I'm not looking back.
45:12I know you now.
45:14It's okay.
45:16It's okay.
45:18You've been awhile.
45:19I've been a Sieg.
45:21All right, Frank.
45:23All right.
45:25Go on, sir.
45:27All right.
45:29Now...
45:31No, no, no.
45:32What a mercy Rosamond saw you in the street.
45:49Wrench said he would not come again
45:51for all he'd made poor Fred worse instead of better.
45:55You should have seen him in the night.
45:56The poor boy didn't know his own mother.
46:00Is he very ill?
46:03You were right to call me in.
46:18I'm afraid your son is in the pink-skinned stage of typhoid fever
46:21and unfortunately he's taken just the wrong medicine.
46:25Oh, Doctor.
46:27Oh, is he?
46:29What if...
46:30Fred.
46:31Fred.
46:32Oh, Fred.
46:34Doctor Dick Gates must save my boy.
46:36He has a strong constitution, Mrs. Vinci.
46:39I have every hope of his recovery.
46:41You must have a regular nurse
46:42and a constant supply of cold water.
46:45I'll start him on opium and alcohol immediately.
46:47There's no time.
46:48What if then, then, Doctor Wrench?
46:50You mustn't blame Doctor Wrench, Mrs. Vinci.
46:54The symptoms yesterday might have been disguising.
46:56Typhoid is difficult to diagnose in the very early stages.
46:59Doctor Wrench, you must come again.
47:02You must carry on attending Fred.
47:04Yes, please do.
47:05I shall write to Doctor Wrench and explain the circumstances.
47:07I'm sure he won't be offended.
47:09No, he says it's a damned evidence.
47:12I've attended that family for 20 years.
47:15And now I'm made to read some damned scoundrel a lecture on symptoms on prognosis and I don't know what.
47:21By God, it comes to something.
47:24And they steal your patience from under your very nose and give you a scolding at the back.
47:30This lid gets no better than a quack, in my opinion.
47:32All those fancy foreign notions and these catamount cures.
47:36How do we know what he's bona fide is, all right?
47:39Do you know what he told me?
47:40His Majesty's coroner, these 20 years,
47:43that a lawyer is no better than an old woman at a post-mortem examination.
47:49He thinks a doctor should conduct it.
47:51This man's an imposter.
47:52He has degrees from Edinburgh and Paris times us down the range.
47:57He's a clever fellow for all you don't care for him.
48:00Damn sight too clever in my opinion, sir.
48:02A bold stroke's fond of him.
48:04They're a pretty pair.
48:06One all pride and principles.
48:09The other all cant and holiness.
48:14And both of them elbow deep in each other's pockets.
48:16Well, gentlemen, it's your business.
48:31The house surgeon has reported an outbreak of intestinal ailments
48:34amongst patients in the upper ward.
48:36You do me great honour taking the time to view our work here, Mr. Caserbaugh.
48:45Oh, and Mrs. Caserbaugh, of course.
48:47This has been a most rewarding visit, Mr. Nunn.
48:51It's interesting to see such a colony of artists at work.
48:55Yes, well, many of us live here permanently.
48:57Others, such as my friend Ladislaw,
48:59come to study for a short while only.
49:01Mr. Caserbaugh, forgive me,
49:13but I have been looking at you all morning.
49:16A sketch of your head would be invaluable.
49:21Let me show you.
49:27St. Thomas Aquinas.
49:31Perhaps it is asking too much.
49:36You astonish me greatly, sir.
49:39But if my poor physiognomy can be of help to you for the good doctor,
49:44I shall be honoured.
49:46That is if the operation is not a lengthy one,
49:49and if Mrs. Caserbaugh will not object to the delay.
49:52St. Thomas Aquinas, what a happy thought.
49:56Allow me.
49:59Please.
50:01Well, come and look, Ladislaw.
50:09I think it is perfect so far, hmm?
50:16The colour is fine.
50:28It will just suit you.
50:30Oh, no, they're for my sister.
50:32She's light-haired.
50:33Very pretty.
50:36At least I think so.
50:37You don't seem to care for cameos.
50:40No, frankly, I don't think they're a great object in life.
50:44I fear you're heretic about art generally.
50:47How is that?
50:49I should have expected you to be very sensitive to the beautiful everywhere.
50:52I should like to make life beautiful.
50:55I mean everybody's life.
50:58And then all this huge, expensive art that seems to make life no better for the world pains me.
51:05The best piety is to enjoy when you can.
51:11It's no use to try and take care of all the world unless you allow yourself to feel some delight in it.
51:16I'm beginning to suspect you of having some false belief in the virtues of misery.
51:31The work is progressing satisfactorily.
51:36Magnificent.
51:37Have there not been very valuable books written by scholars who knew nothing of these modern things?
51:50Well, they are still used.
51:52Why should not my husbands be valuable like theirs?
51:55Don't you see?
51:55It's no use now to be crawling a little way after men of the last century, correcting their mistakes.
52:01No one cares anymore.
52:03The focus of interest has moved on.
52:07How can you speak so lightly?
52:10If it were as you say, what could be sadder than so much ardent labour all in vain?
52:16I've made you think ill of me.
52:21No, I like you very much.
52:27Please don't mention this to anyone again.
52:32Promise me.
52:35I promise.
52:37I fear this may be too high as of Mrs. Casper.
