00:03:42Mr Fairley is a man of idiosyncratic nature.
00:03:45He keeps to his own apartments.
00:03:48To be frank...
00:03:48I was a little concerned about his failure to arrange a proper chaperone.
00:03:54I should not worry yourself, Mr Gilmore.
00:03:56I am told my situation in life acts as a guarantee of its own.
00:03:59My last employer, my last employer even compared my presence under his roof to that of a harmless domestic animal.
00:04:58I'm Mr. Hartwright.
00:04:59Mr. Hartwright, sit down, slowly, without troubling yourself to move the chair or other objects.
00:05:05In the wretched state of my nerves, movement of any kind is exquisitely painful to me.
00:05:16I'm so glad to possess you at Limeridge.
00:05:19You have seen your studio.
00:05:21Will it do?
00:05:22Will it do?
00:05:23I can assure you...
00:05:24Mr. Hartwright, a lower key, please.
00:05:27You see, loud sound is torture to me.
00:05:31You will pardon an invalid, I am sure, if the lamentable state of my health dictates a certain code.
00:05:38But at least you will find your position here as artist and teacher to my nieces properly recognized, Mr. Hartwright.
00:05:45There is in this house none of the horrid barbarity of the local gentry who would treat artists as their
00:05:51servants.
00:05:53Now, would you put the stray of coins back in the cabinet?
00:06:08And then go and take down that portfolio.
00:06:14Are you strong enough?
00:06:16Yes?
00:06:18Oh, how nice to be so strong.
00:06:20Don't drop it!
00:06:23You have no idea of the tortures I should suffer, Mr. Hartwright, if you dropped this portfolio.
00:07:01You must settle and agree on your wishes, provided you deal with the more suitable subjects, the basic principles of
00:07:08landscape, frith, bancia, and so forth.
00:07:32Mr. Hartwright.
00:07:37I am sorry if you caught me observing your arrival.
00:07:39My sister and I are so fond of Gothic novels that we sometimes act as if we were in them.
00:07:43You would certainly seem to have the perfect setting for your pretense.
00:07:47My uncle is not the easiest of men to encounter on breakfast, did I? I am sorry.
00:07:50No, no, he was perfectly courteous.
00:07:54Will your sister be joining us?
00:07:56No.
00:07:57She thought it best that I make your acquaintance first.
00:08:00I will not disguise from you, Mr. Hartwright, that we are a little unused to male company.
00:08:05That is common enough in my pupils, Miss Fairley.
00:08:07But can I hope even so that you and your sister will agree on a course of study?
00:08:11Agree?
00:08:12I will tell you about Laura myself.
00:08:15You will notice presently that we are not alike.
00:08:17Having different mothers, it is not surprising, but it goes further.
00:08:19She is quiet and I talk.
00:08:21She inherited great wealth through her mother while I am poor.
00:08:24She is sweet-tempered and I am crabbed.
00:08:27And she has a high opinion of men while I...
00:08:30To speak plainly, Mr. Hartwright, she is an angel and I...
00:08:38Well, perhaps you had better pass the marmalade and finish the sentence for yourself.
00:08:42Only by saying that you seem to require separate tutors.
00:08:46Separate? No.
00:08:48Laura and I may have nothing in common, but we will not be separated and we agree on everything.
00:08:54You must please both of us, Mr. Hartwright, or please neither of us.
00:08:57It is unaccountable, but there it is.
00:09:01And I am sure we can agree on whatever course of study you propose.
00:09:04It is.
00:09:12Laura?
00:09:19Mrs. Fairley?
00:09:22Forgive me.
00:09:23Just for one moment, you reminded me of someone I met on the road last night.
00:09:27But I see now it is only a resemblance, nothing more.
00:09:30But who was it, Mr. Hartwright?
00:09:32I do not know.
00:09:34She was dressed all in white.
00:09:35A ghost, perhaps?
00:09:38Yes.
00:09:39Well, let us make a start.
00:09:41It is my intention to begin with the most basic principles of still life and landscape.
00:09:46I am sure you are acquainted with the work of Landseer.
00:09:51But, Marion, we do not yet know him.
00:09:55What is there to know, Laura?
00:09:57Mr. Hartwright's lessons are as cautious as his manner and he is so uninterested in us.
00:10:01I sometimes think he is half asleep.
00:10:03You are too harsh on men.
00:10:07But if only Father was here now, he could have helped us with so much.
00:10:14You know, Percival has not written.
00:10:17Perhaps he has changed his mind.
00:10:19Laura, he wrote two days ago.
00:10:22It is less than a week since the lunch.
00:10:24Why in heaven should you worry?
00:10:25You say that.
00:10:26Why not?
00:10:27Marion, I know.
00:10:31For weeks now, you have had some...
00:10:34I can't say.
00:10:35Some concern about the future.
00:10:38Why deny it?
00:10:40Laura, I have no worries and nor should you.
00:10:44A change is coming and I am a coward about change.
00:10:48That is all.
00:11:04Mr. Hartwright?
00:11:06You're still working.
00:11:14But this is my uncle's collection.
00:11:17What has he asked you to do?
00:11:19Some repairs.
00:11:21He wants them completed by tomorrow.
00:11:22Tomorrow?
00:11:24But there was months of work here.
00:11:26He had no right to ask you.
00:11:29Will you accept an apology, not merely on behalf of my uncle, but ourselves?
00:11:33The truth is, we thought you quite circumspect.
00:11:37When a man has urgent need of a job, Miss Fairley, I fear he generally is.
00:11:43But what are those?
00:11:44Oh, just some materials I was using for mounts.
00:11:51Rossetti?
00:11:54Whistler?
00:11:55Yes, these are copies I made.
00:12:02This was Rossetti's wife, wasn't it?
00:12:07Elizabeth.
00:12:09He did it after her death.
00:12:18Look at the line of the face.
00:12:21So much longing.
00:12:24Did you know he dug up her grave?
00:12:27Yes.
00:12:29Where he had buried his perms.
00:12:33This picture always haunted me.
00:12:36Such a terrible feeling of loss.
00:12:45No!
00:12:53It is the same one I saw.
00:12:54I will go down.
00:12:56I will go down.
00:13:46And then there was no sign of her.
00:13:48It was right here.
00:13:50But it was not a ghost.
00:13:51It was a woman.
00:13:53Mr. Gilmore said she must be from the village.
00:13:55But who?
00:13:56I would love to know.
00:13:57If we could just have seen her more clearly.
00:14:00Well, there is one way.
00:14:08Do not move.
00:14:09Stand still.
00:14:12Yes, indeed.
00:14:13There is some resemblance, especially in the colouring.
00:14:15Miss Fairley, if you will, just let your arms hang.
00:14:20Oh, I cannot.
00:14:23No.
00:14:25Just so.
00:14:28If you relax, you are an excellent subject.
00:14:33Miss Fairley, perhaps if I make some sketches of your sister,
00:14:36I might be able to show you how it was.
00:14:39Assuming your model is happy?
00:14:41Yes, Marion, I'd love to try.
00:14:51So tell me, Mr. Hartwright,
00:14:53how do your society subjects stay still?
00:14:55Oh, I help them along with generous portions of compliments.
00:14:58Well, I hope Mr. Hartwright will pay me no compliments.
00:15:02Why do you say that?
00:15:04Because I know I will believe all you say to me.
00:15:08Why do you say that?
00:15:16Maybe.
00:16:17Oh, there are too many bumps.
00:16:19Indeed.
00:16:19And with all this jolting and interruption, we can confuse Mr Hartwright between nature as it is when he looks
00:16:24up...
00:16:24And nature as it is not when he looks at our work.
00:16:44What will you do?
00:16:49What I know is right.
00:16:53Before Mr Hartwright came, I was so sure of my feelings.
00:17:00Where would I be if I changed now?
00:17:12Mr Hartwright, because we greatly value your friendship, I freely admit I do not like what I have to say.
00:17:17But I think I have discovered your secret.
00:17:23The truth is, if some attachment has been formed to Laura, then it is my duty to tell you now
00:17:28that it can go no further.
00:17:30My sister is engaged.
00:17:33Willingly and happily to be married.
00:17:36Indeed, her fiancé is expected any day.
00:17:41I see we should have told you before.
00:17:44We're unused to these things and we had no thought then of what would happen.
00:17:48Miss Fairley, it was in any case madness for a tutor to entertain such hopes.
00:17:53And I gratefully accept the offer of friendship.
00:17:57In my defence, I can only swear it is the first time a personal sympathy ever encroached in my teaching.
00:18:33I cannot get the shape of the church.
00:18:35I would love to have a good likeness of this place.
00:18:38It is very dear to us.
00:18:39Then I would like to draw it.
00:18:42Whose is the grave?
00:18:44Our father's.
00:18:52Oh, Marion, I must get ready.
00:18:55May I finish our lesson for today, Mr. Hartwright?
00:18:57I can walk back.
00:19:01Her fiancé?
00:19:02Yes.
00:19:04He lives nearby?
00:19:05No, he comes from the south.
00:19:08Sir Percival's family were friends of my father, who approved the match before he died.
00:19:12As I do.
00:19:13Of course.
00:19:21However, we did speak of your secret, Mr. Hartwright.
00:19:25And now I will tell you mine.
00:19:29Have you ever had the uncanny feeling when you go into a room or meet a person or see a
00:19:35picture that is perfect in every way,
00:19:37and yet you know something is wrong?
00:19:40A kind of premonition, you mean?
00:19:43Yes.
00:19:45It is no more rational than that.
00:19:49And it concerns Laura.
00:19:53Yet Sir Percival is good-looking, wealthy, and shows every sign of being in love.
00:19:58Believe me, I have put him to every test, and I cannot find fault with him.
00:20:03But is it not natural you should feel some apprehension?
00:20:06You and your sister are very close, and your living relatives are distant.
00:20:14Mr. Hartwright, if I had any doubts you would put your own feelings aside to help me, you have just
00:20:21dispelled them.
00:20:38Your tea, Sir Percival.
00:20:40Oh, you must forgive me, Miss Fairley, I quite forgot myself.
00:20:44It is so many weeks since I last heard her play.
00:20:45Not so many.
00:20:47Four weeks, two days, and six hours.
00:20:52It was at a lunch party in this very room.
00:20:56Mr. Hartwright, if I may say so, Limeridge is indeed fortunate to find you as a tutor.
00:21:02I had the great good luck to see some of your drawings at Burlington House last summer.
00:21:06It is a wonder to me you do not exhibit more often.
00:21:09You are very kind, but I fear it will be some months before I have suitable work to show.
00:21:16Well, I hope after Laura and I are married, you will reward us by coming to stay at Blackwater on
00:21:20occasions and continuing the tuition.
00:21:23As you may know, it is my great wish that Miss Fairley here will make our home her home.
00:21:30I may be a fool, Mr. Hartwright, but thank heaven I'm not fool enough to try and separate the inseparable.
00:21:49Miss Fairley, I'm sorry if I startled you.
00:21:52I love this spot.
00:21:54Yes, it has memories.
00:21:57Our father used to come here.
00:21:59He taught us to throw stones.
00:22:00I'm probably better at it than drawing.
00:22:03Then will you take this one?
00:22:06A blue stone?
00:22:09I've heard that is lucky.
00:22:12So I am glad to give it to you.
00:22:17You know we should not be here alone.
00:22:20Please.
00:22:30In a few weeks I will be married, Mr. Hartwright.
00:22:34But I want you to understand one thing.
00:22:37I will never forget this summer.
00:22:40The days we have had together, the time I have spent with you.
00:22:44Wherever you go, whatever you do, I want to wish you happiness.
00:22:52Then the matter if it is wrong, I will think of you, and I will keep this memory.
00:23:02For God's sake, please go.
00:23:13The matter is of some delicacy, Mr. Fairley, and you would oblige me by giving that man permission to withdraw.
00:23:20Man?
00:23:20What man?
00:23:22You provoking Earl Gilmore.
00:23:24What can you possibly mean by calling him a man?
00:23:26He is nothing of the sort.
00:23:28At present, he is simply a portfolio stand.
00:23:31Why object Gilmore to a portfolio stand?
00:23:33Well, I do object.
00:23:34It is important.
00:23:42Sir Percival has just left, and I want to discuss Laura's marriage settlement.
00:23:46Oh, a settlement.
00:23:48The terms demanded by his lawyers seem to me to be excessive.
00:23:53There is, after all, a considerable fortune involved.
00:23:55Good Gilmore, how you reconcile one to human nature.
00:23:58But what exactly do you propose?
00:24:00That either we resist their demand, or at the very least, before we sign, make Laura and Marion acquainted with
00:24:07it.
00:24:08Make them acquainted?
00:24:10Gilmore, in such a miserable world as this, is it possible to overestimate the value of peace and quietness?
00:24:16No?
00:24:16And yet you would upset me, upset yourself, upset Glide, upset Laura, and worst of all, upset Marion.
00:24:23And all for a trifling nothing.
00:24:26His lawyers have no right to demand these clauses,
00:24:29and it seems to me is that they're anxious to settle before she comes of age.
00:24:33If you stand firm, they must give way.
00:24:35You dear old Gilmore, how you detest Glide for being a baronet.
00:24:40What a radical you are.
00:24:42Oh, dear me, what a radical.
00:24:44Mr Fairley, I will put up with a good deal of your provocation,
00:24:48but after holding the soundest conservative principle to all my life,
00:24:51and serving three generations of Fairleys,
00:24:53I will not put up with being called a radical.
00:24:55And I have to tell you that no daughter of mine should be married under such a settlement.
00:25:00Don't shake the room, worthiest of all possible Gilmores.
00:25:03Do not shake the room.
00:25:05I would dispute this remote contingency with you if I could, but I can't.
00:25:08I haven't stamina enough.
00:25:11Shall we drop the subject?
00:25:12That's a good Gilmore.
00:25:13Gilmore, you hold by this, then?
00:25:16So glad we understand each other at last.
00:25:20Make them give you a good lunch downstairs.
00:25:23Do, Gilmore, make my idle beasts of servants give you a good lunch.
00:25:54Do you want some, sir?
00:25:56Do you want some?
00:25:58Do you not remember me?
00:26:00There's Glyde here.
00:26:02What?
00:26:03I saw his carriage.
00:26:05What is Sir Percival to you?
00:26:07I want to help you, not hurt you.
00:26:11What brings you here?
00:26:14A man was once kind to me here.
00:26:17This man and his wife, better than all the others.
00:26:23Glyde put me in the cold asylum, sir.
00:26:27To the cold stone and the baths.
00:26:28They scream in the baths.
00:26:30I was wrongfully treated.
00:26:31You must warn them here.
00:26:33I will never go back there.
00:26:36Warn them of what?
00:26:38I want nothing except to help you.
00:26:40Please, to help me.
00:26:42And then they pull at you with their lips.
00:26:44Still on those coins and those pursed lips.
00:26:46Please.
00:26:49Please.
00:26:50I mean you no harm.
00:27:05We will not jump to hasty conclusions on either side.
00:27:08I will provide for the tracing of this woman, whoever she is, with a private investigator.
00:27:14I have been in touch with Sir Percival's solicitor.
00:27:17And when Sir Percival returns on Monday, I expect a satisfactory explanation.
00:27:21And I have no doubt we will get one.
00:27:26I'm mightily glad, Mr Hartrack, that you met with Anne Catherick.
00:27:30But I was most interested to hear that she was at Limeridge Church.
00:27:34It is my urgent wish that she is found without delay.
00:27:37Have you known her long?
00:27:39Yes.
00:27:42Her mother, one of our more faithful retainers of Blackwater,
00:27:47was doubly unfortunate in having a husband who deserted her
00:27:50and a daughter whose mental faculties were disturbed at an early age.
00:27:55In time, the poor girl's symptoms made it necessary for her to have medical care.
00:27:59But Mrs. Catherick did not want Anne to go to a public asylum.
00:28:03She appealed to me to meet the expense of a good private asylum,
00:28:06which, in the mark of her services to our family, I was happy to do.
00:28:10Kitson, a Harley Street specialist, was put in charge of her case.
00:28:15And did she improve?
00:28:17No, she did not.
00:28:19And as her condition worsened,
00:28:21she developed a confused hatred for everyone involved in her treatment,
00:28:24including, I'm afraid, her mother and me.
00:28:28So I hope she's returned to proper medical attention as soon as possible.
00:28:32I have to leave again tomorrow, but I will watch for her tonight from the church.
00:28:36We must all hope the poor girl is found.
00:28:39And I will communicate all you have said to Laura's uncle and guardian.
00:28:44Well, I imagine that ends the matter.
00:28:46No, it does not.
00:28:49If my plain statement of legal fact had only been addressed to you, Mr. Gilmore,
00:28:53and to you, Mr. Hartwright,
00:28:54then I should consider any further reference to this unhappy matter as unnecessary.
00:28:59But,
00:29:01Miss Fairley,
00:29:03my position with the lady is not the same.
00:29:06I hope, Sir Percival,
00:29:08you do not suppose I distrust you.
00:29:10No.
00:29:12But I owe to you
00:29:13what I would concede to no man alive.
00:29:16Proof of what I say.
00:29:25Here is the address and name of Anne's mother.
00:29:28May I insist you write at once to ask anything you wish,
00:29:32and ensure that she confirms my account.
00:29:41Sir Percival watched all night here,
00:29:42but he saw no sign of her.
00:29:44Why watch from here?
00:29:45You can't even see the grave.
00:29:49Did you find his account convincing?
00:29:51More than I thought possible.
00:29:53But I would give anything to talk with Anne Catherick.
00:29:56Then we must keep looking.
00:29:58I think I will start making moonlight sketches around the estate.
00:30:02There is a chance I may see her.
00:30:15Beg your pardon, Miss?
00:30:18Yes, Margaret?
00:30:19I wonder if I might ask you something.
00:30:22Of course.
00:30:22What is it?
00:30:24i didn't know whether to trouble you miss it it may be nothing at all but i wasn't sure
00:30:28if something is worrying you i'll help in any way i can

00:31:52Please, Miss. Please, you tried to make me undress.
00:31:55What? Miss Fairley! Miss Fairley, please, I can explain. Please, listen.
00:32:28Well, as you both know, I was always concerned about the absence of a proper chaperone in
00:32:33your arrangements here. Fortunately, Mr. Hartwright is leaving in a few hours. But there is always
00:32:39this servant to consider.
00:32:41Sir Percival has already offered the servant concerned a position at Blackwater Park, so
00:32:47the change of scene should help her.
00:32:48And please don't forget, Mr. Gilmore, it was Marion who saved her.
00:32:53Well, this is true. And provided both of you accept that you were completely duked by this
00:32:57young man, I suggest we let the matter rest.
00:33:00I accept that we were deceived. I do not accept that I was wrong to take every means at my
00:33:05disposal to find Anne Catherick.
00:33:10Her mother has now written to me.
00:33:14Evidently, all that Sir Percival said is true to the letter.
00:33:22Miss Fairley, I will be gone in a few minutes. Please grant me one moment of your time.
00:33:28If I am found with you, I will be punished. There is nothing to say.
00:33:31I say nothing for myself, but the circumstances in which I was disgraced.
00:33:35Leave me to suppose you and your sister are in very great danger.
00:33:41I beg you to take heed of that danger.
00:33:47Heed.
00:34:05Heed.
00:34:16Heed.

00:35:25Mr Hartwright's disgrace was such painful proof of our own inexperience
00:35:29that I begged Laurie to forget all my doubts.
00:35:33It had been agreed I would join her as soon as the honeymoon was over.
00:35:37And how strange it seems now to think that I travelled that long road in hope.

00:37:09Where's the housekeeper? This dog's been hurt.
00:37:11That's Baxter's doings, that is.
00:37:13Baxter? Who's Baxter?
00:37:15Well, bless you, miss. Baxter's the keeper.
00:37:18And when he finds strange dogs, he takes and shoots them.
00:37:22That's Baxter's doings, miss.
00:37:28What a very lucky dog, Miss Fairley.
00:37:31Thank goodness you saved him from that brute Baxter.
00:37:34I'll see someone takes him back to Mrs. Catherick.
00:37:38She will be grateful to you.
00:37:41Mrs. Catherick?
00:37:42Yes, Miss Fairley.
00:37:44Oh, do you know her?
00:37:45No, it is just I've heard of her poor daughter.
00:37:48Oh, yes.
00:37:51Well, the woman was round here looking for her daughter who's been seen around the grounds.
00:37:56Here?
00:37:57Yes.
00:37:58If Mrs. Catherick could just find her, she would get her to medical help.
00:38:04But why can't she be found?
00:38:05Oh, because there are those who don't want her to be found.
00:38:08And beg your pardon, miss, but you know how she makes a living now.
00:38:16And it's always the men who see her.
00:38:20Have you noticed that?
00:38:24Oh, I'm so sorry, miss.
00:38:27You know, I'm talking too much and they must be here already.
00:38:30You'll be wanting to see his sister.
00:38:39Oh, Laura!
00:38:44Oh.
00:38:46Oh.
00:38:48How long it seems.
00:38:50Marion, I'm sorry.
00:38:51I'm tired from the journey.
00:38:52Will you excuse me?
00:39:01Miss Fairley?
00:39:04I must apologise.
00:39:06Laura's a little tired, but how nice to find you awaiting us.
00:39:09I regret to say it seems we have a guest arriving later in the week,
00:39:12some wretched cousin whom I barely know.
00:39:14Still, he will only be here a short time.
00:39:18Will you excuse me?
00:39:31I must apologise.
00:39:33Laura insisted on dining in her room.
00:39:35She's still a little tired.
00:39:38Now, talk to me about art or music.
00:39:42Is it true your uncle has the most wonderful Rembrandt etchings?
00:39:48Yes.
00:39:49My uncle is very proud of his collection.
00:39:53Matters have reached ahead and the situation may become serious.
00:39:56We must address ourselves to him at once.
00:39:59If I can obtain the signature to the papers,
00:40:02that will resolve the question.
00:40:05We can then proceed to clear the outstanding bills
00:40:08as they become due.

00:40:59Sir Percival, I wonder if I might have a word with you regarding something.
00:41:04Miss Fairley, of course.
00:41:06I have been here four days now.
00:41:08If she does not want me to be here, then I can leave.
00:41:10But I cannot understand why she will not talk to me.
00:41:13I cannot wholly understand it myself.
00:41:15I have kept expecting her to change.
00:41:17But I fear the moods of women are sometimes unaccountable to me.
00:41:22You have her messages.
00:41:24She makes excuses.
00:41:25She has business.
00:41:26She is tired.
00:41:27Once I pass her and she talks for a few moments and then goes on.
00:41:30If I have done something to offend her, then I will be duly sorry.
00:41:33But I must first know what it is.
00:41:36Believe me, Miss Fairley, you have done nothing to offend her.
00:41:39I am sure of that.
00:41:40You must simply give her time.
00:41:42I have given her time.
00:41:45And if, as you say, I have done nothing wrong, then I must leave and return to my uncle.
00:41:51I will, because it is clear she does not want me.
00:41:56Perhaps you would be kind enough to inform the servants to prepare for my departure.
00:42:02I have every hope she might change, and I will try again to prevail upon her to be more civil.
00:42:07Please.
00:42:10Stay longer.
00:42:13No.
00:42:14You have been kind.
00:42:17But I cannot impose myself if she does not wish me to be here.
00:42:42Marion, do not leave here.
00:42:46Oh, dear God.
00:42:48Do not leave.
00:42:49Laura, oh, Laura, it was a bad dream.
00:42:52Oh, why would you not talk?
00:42:57What is this?
00:42:59It was a fall.
00:43:03I must go back now, but tomorrow...
00:43:05We will talk tomorrow.
00:43:07I am so sorry.
00:43:30Laura, you must tell me.
00:43:34Whatever the matter is, you must tell me.
00:43:39I beg you.
00:43:47When we were in Italy, we went to see a wonderful tomb that our husband had built for his wife.
00:43:52She was called Cecilia, Cecilia Metella.
00:43:55It was a bright afternoon.
00:43:57I asked Percival if he would ever build something like it for me.
00:44:00His reply was that if he did, it would be with my own money.
00:44:06It was a joke, Laura.
00:44:07What of it?
00:44:09I am sure the marriage settlement must provide for him to inherit.
00:44:13At least in the event that there are no children.
00:44:17And Marion, I do not want children.
00:44:20Not the way he touches me when he...
00:44:23Tell me.
00:44:27I never knew men could enjoy the act, even in hatred.
00:44:33Why does he hate me?
00:44:35Is it because I have done something?
00:44:37You have done nothing.
00:44:40And you must never think of yourself in this way.
00:44:43Then I can only tell you what I believe.
00:44:47He wants my money, and I am sure he is prepared to do anything to get it.
00:44:54Come on, we must go back.
00:44:59Laura, you cannot be sure.
00:45:01Perhaps if you would talk to him.
00:45:03I have tried.
00:45:05Sometimes I have seen sadness, but...
00:45:09Now I keep remembering the warning of that woman, the poor woman in white.
00:45:12You may yet meet her.
00:45:14She is here.
00:45:15Where?
00:45:15Have you seen her?
00:45:19Watch this out, my lady.
00:45:20One of the dogs are what will notice it's dangerous.
00:45:24Keep still.
00:45:25Don't run.
00:45:26We've said we'd better keep her.
00:45:29Ladies, keep quite still, please.
00:45:32Don't you mind, sir?
00:45:32He flies at everyone.
00:45:33Who does that, my friend?
00:45:35Because everyone is afraid of him.
00:45:37Let's see if he flies at me.
00:45:40What's up?
00:45:45Yes.
00:46:08Miss Fairleigh, Lady Glyde, yes, I would beg your very great forgiveness.
00:46:13In my haste I neglect it to make my introductions.
00:46:16I am Count Isidore Ottavio Fosco, once through my parents of Siena, now of Paris,
00:46:21arriving for only the second time in my life to pay tribute to my cousin and his beautiful home.
00:46:35I must admit that my early life was spent, like anyone else's, in innocent folly.
00:46:40I ruled the fashions of a second-rate Italian town and wrote preposterous romances for a third-rate newspaper.
00:46:48Then I studied law, finance and chemistry, in that order.
00:46:52Laura, I have something here for you to sign. This is a formality, but we may as well do it
00:46:56now so I can get the boy to take it down to the train.
00:46:59The Count and Miss Fairleigh can be witnesses, if they don't mind.
00:47:01What? What is it I am to sign?
00:47:04I would tell you, but we're short of time and I doubt you would understand it.
00:47:09I ask you to let me try. When Mr. Gilmore had any business, he always explained it.
00:47:15Oh, well, I dare say, but you see, he was your servant and was obliged to do so.
00:47:18I am your husband and I'm in a hurry.
00:47:23It is just if my signature pledges me to...
00:47:26You're not refusing me, surely?
00:47:30No.
00:47:30Then I will be glad if you proceed to sign it at once.
00:47:36Sir Percival, perhaps I may explain Laura's objection.
00:47:40Miss Fairleigh, I hope very much you can continue to be our guest,
00:47:43but it could obviously become difficult if you choose to interfere in our affairs.
00:47:56It is just...
00:47:57Pardon me for one moment, Sir Percival, and please believe that I speak with respect.
00:48:02What that document that Lady Glide is about to sign may be, I neither know nor desire to know,
00:48:09but I feel uneasy about witnessing any signature at all without a full and fair understanding by the signatory.
00:48:19You take my wife's side?
00:48:21I take the side of my poor European conscience, which is different,
00:48:26and by all means set me down as being no better than the rest of my kind.
00:48:36I will see if my lawyer can find some way around it.
00:48:41Now, I really must get the rest of these papers off.
00:48:55Without you and the count, he would have made me sign it.
00:48:58Please, marry and give him no excuse to make you leave.
00:49:01I will never leave without you.
00:49:12But, Laura, you must now tell me what you fear.
00:49:15Many things.
00:49:18Poison, a fall, a boating accident in the lake.
00:49:22Laura!
00:49:23He wants me dead, Marion.
00:49:27If what you are saying is true, there are laws.
00:49:30Laws cannot prevent evil.
00:49:32They may only avenge it.
00:49:33I have no evidence against my husband except that he is cruel.
00:49:38What is that?
00:49:39So are half the men in England.
00:49:43I want to see.
00:49:48Why?
00:49:50Please.
00:50:08Never again.
00:50:10I don't care if you kill him.
00:50:12You will not let him near you.
00:50:16From this moment on, I swear our endurance ends.
00:50:21What are you talking about?
00:50:23What can we do?
00:50:28We can fight.
00:50:31I have no means of proving my suspicions, Mr. Gilmore.
00:50:35Any more than I can prove the burned document forms some part of a plot to take my sister's money.
00:50:40I know my uncle will not countenance a scandal, but I beg you to ask him whether there is some
00:50:46way Laura and I could return alone to Limeridge, at least for a prolonged visit.
00:51:17I know my uncle will not countenance a scandal.
00:51:21You are not Lady Glide, are you?
00:51:23No.
00:51:24No, Anne.
00:51:25I am not.
00:51:26I am her half-sister.
00:51:28What?
00:51:29They use you, miss, do they?
00:51:31Anne, I could help you to see Lady Glide.
00:51:34Would you like me to help you?
00:51:35I don't need help.
00:51:36I'm not going back there to the asylum.
00:51:38No.
00:51:39I won't take you back there.
00:51:41But we can help.
00:51:42You want to see Lady Glide?
00:51:44To tell her the danger.
00:51:47It's not safe in this.
00:51:49Never, never marry in this.
00:51:50I travel free, I choose.
00:51:52Can you choose, miss?
00:51:54What is the danger?
00:51:58Where can we find you?
00:52:02After dusk.
00:52:03Tomorrow.
00:52:04The boathouse.
00:52:06You must tell no one else.
00:52:08The secret frightens anyone.
00:52:10I promise.
00:52:13But what secret?
00:52:16Anne?
00:52:18Anne?
00:52:19Anne?
00:52:20Anne?
00:52:21If she will be here tonight, we must bring her food and clothing.
00:52:25I will look out for some of my own.
00:52:26She had such sadness.
00:52:28She is free.
00:52:30But at what cost, Laura?
00:52:32Does it matter, Marion?
00:52:34At least she can move on from those who abuse her.
00:52:39And so can you.
00:52:41My letter was in the post this morning.
00:52:43By tomorrow, it will be with Gilmore, and he must act.
00:52:50And the Count helped us before.
00:52:52He will again.
00:53:13I'm surprised you ladies wanted to visit this place.
00:53:16Especially in this stifling weather.
00:53:20Some may call it picturesque.
00:53:21I call it a blot on a gentleman's property.
00:53:24A bailiff says it has a curse on it.
00:53:27Good place to commit murder, maybe.
00:53:29Not much else.
00:53:31Why?
00:53:33You know exactly what I mean if you choose to understand me, and if you don't, I shan't
00:53:36bother myself to explain.
00:53:37But why not, Sir Percival, when your meaning can be explained by anyone in two words?
00:53:43If a fool is going to commit a murder, your leg is the first place he would choose.
00:53:48A wise man might look elsewhere.
00:53:53Baxter?
00:53:53Baxter, what does he want?
00:53:57He keeps leaving messages for me.
00:54:01Count Fosco, if you must divide murderers into classes, I think you have been unfortunate
00:54:07in your choice of expressions.
00:54:09To describe a murderer as a wise man seems to me an abuse of language.
00:54:14Truly wise men are truly good men, and have therefore a horror of crime.
00:54:19My dear lady, these are admirable sentiments, and I have seen them stated on the tops of
00:54:24copybooks.
00:54:25But surely you admit, Count, that murder will out.
00:54:27I mean, crimes provide their own detection.
00:54:31Miss Fairlaine, because you, of all women, appear to appreciate the truth, I shall tell
00:54:37you it.
00:54:38One has but to ask the coroners who sit at inquests in large towns, or the poor secretaries
00:54:44of life assurance companies, when the criminal is a resolute and highly intelligent man.
00:54:50I'm afraid the police, in nine cases out of ten, lose.
00:55:00Miss Fairlie, why did you not tell me Anne Catherick's mother was here?
00:55:04What?
00:55:04Well, I gather you found her dog here.
00:55:06Why the devil didn't you tell me?
00:55:09Laura, have you had dealings with Anne Catherick?
00:55:12Gently, my good friend.
00:55:14I want to know.
00:55:20I beg your pardon, Miss Fairlie.
00:55:23Truth is, I've been a little out of sorts today, but I want to know if you've had news
00:55:25of Anne from my mother.
00:55:28No.
00:55:30The housekeeper merely told me she was looking for her daughter.
00:55:34I hope she has been found.
00:55:37I hope she has been found.
00:55:44So it seems Anne Catherick may have been here.
00:55:50Our friend, Mr. Hartwright, was so concerned about Anne.
00:55:58Tell me, was he a good companion?
00:56:01It seems a long time ago.
00:56:05How did you spend your time?
00:56:08Did you read with him?
00:56:10Read?
00:56:12Yes.
00:56:14I've no knowledge of what you did together.
00:56:18Reading verse.
00:56:20Or discoursing.
00:56:23There is no end to my imaginings.
00:56:26I do not understand.
00:56:32No, not why.
00:56:36I never have.
00:56:43Pure ramblings.
00:56:46I must dress for dinner.
00:56:59Oh, Miss Fairlie, see the light dying in the trees.
00:57:04Does it not break the heart?
00:57:07Ah, but count, the heart will surely mend by morning.
00:57:11You have your English sense, Miss Fairlie,
00:57:15but you cannot deny what is so striking,
00:57:18that you feel things very deeply.
00:57:22I would not deny it.
00:57:24And yes, the light is beautiful.
00:57:28And as your poet says,
00:57:31truth is beauty.
00:57:34See, your face shows as much now.
00:57:38So, you study poetry as well as crime, count?
00:57:42But I wish to know,
00:57:44is your study of detection an amateur interest only?
00:57:48To be truthful?
00:57:50No.
00:57:51But then I have dabbled in many things,
00:57:54including the science of character,
00:57:56and I see that your sister is very fortunate
00:58:00to have you as an ally.
00:58:03I have never met anyone like you.
00:58:06Then I must be honest with you.
00:58:08At this moment,
00:58:09we are in need of as many friends as we can find,
00:58:12and I will tell you why.
00:58:18I truly think he is some kind of detective,
00:58:21a specialist,
00:58:22and he says he will help us.
00:58:24She's a-coming.
00:58:28Where is she?
00:58:38Suppose we've seen here.
00:58:40Who will see us?
00:58:49You're quite sure we haven't followed?
00:58:51I am certain of it.
00:59:07I'm not alone.
00:59:08It is all right, Anne.
00:59:10There is no one here but us.
00:59:12Look.
00:59:14We have food and clothing for you.
00:59:18Lady Glide's things will fit you.
00:59:31My lady,
00:59:32I have your word you are alone.
00:59:35You have my word.
00:59:39I've only kept out of their sight
00:59:40by moving from village to town,
00:59:43staying in woods and ditches.
00:59:45No one will listen.
00:59:48You are the only ones who might believe.
00:59:57There is a secret.
00:59:59It would destroy him.
01:00:03What is it?
01:00:08Anne.
01:00:11It is hidden.
01:00:15Are you sure I heard a noise?
01:00:18Are you sure I heard a noise?
