00:02:56Please let you win. Please, just for once, let Papa win.
00:03:09Trump. And Trump again. My trick, I think, and my game. The cards love you tonight, squire.
00:03:19Another game? Until you have won back all you have lost and more, now is the time to quit.
00:03:25On the contrary, dear boy, now is the time to ride my luck.
00:03:27With respect, sir, that has never failed to bring you disaster.
00:03:31Oh, just one more game, sir, just one more game.
00:03:33Uncle, if you will not think of yourself, think of your daughter, Serena.
00:03:45Gentlemen, I know that discretion is death to a gamester, but prudence has been urged upon me.
00:03:53And I must confess, I do see the sense of it.
00:03:57I will play no more.
00:03:59You paid your dues to Lady Luck in the past, Sir Giles.
00:04:02We will excuse you.
00:04:05Yes, Evans.
00:04:11Lovely, going so-so?
00:04:13I thought you might like to take revenge on me for lightening your pockets the last time we met.
00:04:20Jules, I swear he has an impatient mistress waiting for him.
00:04:30I'm at your disposal, my lord, Rutum.
00:04:39Uncle, you know his luck has always topped yours.
00:04:42Tonight he'll learn his lesson.
00:04:47Would I suit you?
00:04:49As you please.
00:04:52Yes, would you?
00:04:54Certainly.
00:04:55Quick and simple.
00:04:56High score wins.
00:04:57No limit on stakes.
00:04:59Agreed.
00:06:01Good show, Uncle. This could turn the game.
00:06:26It's just some hot chocolate. Do drink it, please, Miss Serena. You've had nothing all day.
00:06:36All will be well, I'm sure.
00:06:53Watch out here.
00:07:01Well, there's always your house down there, is there not? A rather fine house, I've always thought you had.
00:07:07Oh, brilliant. But, of course, if you don't care to, well, we'll all perfectly understand.
00:07:19He's baiting him. I'd rather face a drawn sword than a rootin' charm.
00:07:40Lord Vulcan is here. Just in Vulcan.
00:07:47Well?
00:07:50Well?
00:08:06Well, I don't know.
00:08:07I don't know.
00:08:17I don't know.
00:08:29Not leaving, Stanley, my dear fellow.
00:08:34There's nothing left to wager.
00:08:40You've taken everything I possess.
00:08:44Yes.
00:08:45Well, not quite everything.
00:08:49That pretty daughter of yours.
00:08:53She's a touch high and mighty with me, I have to say, but...
00:08:56A girl of great spirit.
00:08:59They tell me that she inherits 80,000 guineas from a trust on her marriage.
00:09:08I'll tell you what.
00:09:10Let me be fair with you.
00:09:12I'll wager everything that you've lost so far
00:09:16against your daughter's hand in marriage.
00:09:27Uncle, he's baiting you.
00:09:31Well, sir?
00:09:33Yes or no?
00:09:44For God's sake, man, not your own daughter!
00:09:46And Rutum of all people!
00:09:48What would you have me do?
00:09:49Go back and tell Serena that I gambled away the roof over her head?
00:09:53Better that than...
00:09:54By all the laws of chance, I have to win!
00:09:59Just once!
00:10:01Against this Rutum.
00:10:03It's my only opportunity.
00:10:05Now is the time. Now!
00:10:08Oh, Nicholas.
00:10:11Can't you see?
00:10:12I can retain everything.
00:10:16And Serena...
00:10:19will never know.
00:10:21Go back!
00:10:26What's wrong?
00:10:27Go back!
00:10:39Go back!
00:10:41Go back!
00:10:46Go back!
00:10:47My daughter's hand...
00:10:48and her inheritance...
00:10:54against everything I have lost.
00:11:24So, Lady Luck has her little ways.
00:11:30I hope it will be convenient if I call on you tomorrow.
00:11:35Do ask the adorable Serena to expect me.
00:11:49Poor devil. Never did no one to stop.
00:11:52That should never have been allowed.
00:12:00My lord Rooftam.
00:12:11I will throw you for 100,000 guineas against the house and the girl.
00:12:22Done. Tonight I'm unbeatable, even by you, my dear Vulcan.
00:12:47Devil, take me.
00:12:48I'm sorry.
00:13:08I'm sorry.
00:13:11I'm sorry.
00:13:18I'm sorry.
00:13:21I'm sorry.
00:13:29I don't know.
00:13:31I'm sorry.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:14:07Serena, your father is gone.
00:14:10And now it is you we have to worry about.
00:14:12I don't care about myself.
00:14:14You must.
00:14:15You have escaped Lord Rutum, but Lord Vulcan is worse.
00:14:18No one could be worse than that despicable man.
00:14:21There is something inhuman about Vulcan.
00:14:23He never loses at anything.
00:14:25He never shows any emotion.
00:14:28And he is heartless to the women who love him.
00:14:30And there have been many.
00:14:33Rutum knew my father's weakness.
00:14:35Forget about Rutum.
00:14:40Oh, Serena, listen to me.
00:14:42There is one way in which you can foil Lord Vulcan.
00:14:48How?
00:14:50You can marry me.
00:14:51Now by special license.
00:14:54And whatever Vulcan does, he can never marry you.
00:14:58Nicholas, you are a kind person.
00:15:01But I know your head over heels over Lord Norton's young widow, Isabel Gilliam.
00:15:06I couldn't let you make that sacrifice.
00:15:10We could never make each other happy.
00:15:12You have no choice.
00:15:14I have a choice.
00:15:16The Stabilis have always paid their debts.
00:15:18They have never run away.
00:15:19And I will not be the first to do so, even if it means marriage to the devil himself.
00:15:25Justin, darling.
00:15:28You wouldn't really consider marrying a girl you won in a bet.
00:15:31It's not as if you need the 80,000.
00:15:33My dear Isabel, I confess I've given it very little thought.
00:15:37To be honest, until your brother, my good Lord Gilliam here, brought the matter up, it had completely slipped my
00:15:43mind.
00:15:43Slipped your mind?
00:15:45Oh, Justin, I'll be damned.
00:15:47Now me, I'd have been out there next day on the fastest horse I could clap a saddle to.
00:15:51I dare say.
00:15:52But you must have some curiosity.
00:15:54About the house.
00:15:55About the girl, damn it.
00:15:57After all, it's ten days since you lifted them from Rootum.
00:16:01Tell you what.
00:16:02Why not go there now?
00:16:04Now?
00:16:04All of us.
00:16:05Stavely Court's just north of London.
00:16:08Splendid idea, Burley.
00:16:09Let's make a race of it.
00:16:11Thousand guineas?
00:16:12It would be something to do.
00:16:13Oh, it's ridiculous.
00:16:15The girl will turn out to be a bald freak with a wooden leg and the house a ruin.
00:16:20Then you may stay here.
00:16:22No, no, I shall, uh, I shall come.
00:16:25That is, if I may ride with you.
00:16:51She's taking her time, I must say.
00:16:53Probably screwing on her wooden leg.
00:17:02Tell your mistress Lord Vulcan is here to see her.
00:17:39My Lord Vulcan?
00:17:40At your service, Miss Stabley.
00:17:45May I present Lady Isabel Gillingham, her brother, Lord Peter Gillingham, and Lord John Burley.
00:17:52We must be hungry. I'll send to the kitchen.
00:17:54Miss Stabley, we will not hear of it.
00:17:58A glass of wine, then.
00:18:01You, Dora, show our guests into the drawing room.
00:18:03And Meadows, will you bring out some wine?
00:18:13I'll send you to the kitchen.
00:18:14Miss Stabley, perhaps you and I might talk.
00:18:19It hadn't occurred to me you would be so young.
00:18:22I was a late child.
00:18:24My mother died giving birth to me.
00:18:27It puts a different complexion on matters.
00:18:29Why?
00:18:32To begin with, you can't possibly go on living in this house.
00:18:37Since it now belongs to me, people would assume you were my...
00:18:40And I understand from Nicholas that the Dancer La Flamme already fills that position.
00:18:46I have readied the deeds of the estate, a list of the tenants and those who receive pensions from my
00:18:51father.
00:18:51You would wish to continue to pay those?
00:18:54Of course.
00:18:56There's also a list of the livestock on the home farm.
00:19:00Now, I'm afraid the accounts are not in very good order.
00:19:02My estate manager will sort them out before the house is sold.
00:19:06Sold?
00:19:07I don't know.
00:19:08Naturally.
00:19:09Since you can't live here and...
00:19:11I have no use for it.
00:19:14I suppose so.
00:19:16I hadn't considered that...
00:19:17Which leaves you.
00:19:21What am I to do with you, Miss Stabley?
00:19:25I'm in your hands, sir.
00:19:27I must honour my father's debt.
00:19:30And I cannot, for my reputation, cancel it.
00:19:32Knowing something of your reputation, I well understand that.
00:19:37I believe the best answer would be for you to stay for the time being with my mother at Mandrake.
00:19:42The family home.
00:19:45May I bring my maid Eudora and my dog?
00:19:48Naturally.
00:19:50I will send them on ahead to make your arrival a little less strange for you.
00:19:58It's a long journey.
00:19:59Therefore, you yourself will travel in my most comfortable coach.
00:20:05You are most kind.
00:20:06I shall write to my mother telling her to expect you.
00:20:08I will come on later.
00:20:12Until some solution suggests itself, Miss Stabley.
00:20:16Let us remain as we are.
00:20:18Two strangers brought together by a game of chance.
00:20:27Ah.
00:20:30Try not to be afraid of my mother.
00:20:32Why?
00:20:33You are already.
00:20:48Try not to be afraid of my mother.
00:20:49Thank you, Miss Stabley.
00:21:01You are almostky.
00:21:01I know little of men.
00:21:02You are almostky.
00:21:03They are fine.
00:21:03I'm aware of what they say about him.
00:21:06I've never been more baffled by a man in my life.
00:21:18Let us remain as we are, two strangers brought together by a game of chance.
00:21:33Let us stand up.
00:21:34Let us stand up.
00:21:43Let us stand up.
00:21:48Let us stand up.
00:21:52We are all in the space.
00:21:55We are all in the space.
00:22:12I will inform her ladyship.
00:22:25Out of my way.
00:22:27Bring it here.
00:22:29No, I said here.
00:22:30Why, in God's name, am I surrounded by idiots?
00:22:34Here, girl.
00:22:36Attend to your duties.
00:22:39You will be whipped if my orders are not carried out instantly.
00:22:54I am informed you are my son's fiancƩe.
00:23:00Who are you?
00:23:01And where did he make your acquaintance?
00:23:04Your son will doubtless explain everything to you, ma'am.
00:23:07The situation is not of my making.
00:23:13Take Miss Stavely to her room.
00:23:17Come.
00:23:28I know.
00:23:50this is you thank you if you need anything you've only to ask
00:24:08the ladyship has put you in the oldest dampest part of the house
00:24:12bricks in the bed but the fire wouldn't never mind we're all together again and that's all
00:24:16matters there is evil in this house eudora
00:24:28serena you know i've always sensed when something's wrong eudora aren't you being a bit over imaginative
00:24:33i mean certainly her ladyship does not want me here i tell you there is evil i feel it
00:24:40his lordship's valet told me the house is haunted and i will believe it but it's haunted by the
00:24:46living as well as the garden stop it you give me the horrors
00:24:54that goes to the stables to sleep yes most other times he will stay with me

00:25:32as fortunes go

00:25:42you cannot marry my son of course that is an absurdity besides he will never marry i am his life
00:25:5080 000 it is modest enough heaven knows guineas you say so i'm told
00:25:58it would be a convenient sum for your needs were you to be able to unlock your trust

00:27:03don't worry i may be afraid of her but she can't actually harm me
00:27:06don't worry i may be afraid of her but she is dangerous
00:27:08she is dangerous
00:27:40so
00:27:41i
00:27:41and
00:27:55i
00:27:57I don't know.
00:28:40This quaint little girl you sent down here, why on earth did you wager for her?
00:28:45To prevent her falling into the hands of that man root him.
00:28:48Oh, for shame, Justin. You're becoming a sentimentalist.
00:28:50Not in the least. I merely wanted the pleasure of frustrating him.
00:28:55And you really do not intend to marry her?
00:28:57You know well that I do not. In the circumstances, I marry no one.
00:29:02Love, boy, but you frighten me. I thought you were interested.
00:29:06One day, Mother, there will have to be an heir for Mandrake.
00:29:11One day, of course, but not yet. I couldn't bear to be a grandmother yet.
00:29:17Until she's married, I am responsible for her.
00:29:20Now there, I can be of help to you. The girl is not entirely without possibilities.
00:29:25I can put my dressmaker and hairdresser to work on her.
00:29:28Then trail her through the shark pool, see who bites?
00:29:31Something of that sort.
00:29:34Miss Stavely has stronger metal than she shows.
00:29:37And if you do succeed, what will you get out of it?
00:29:41Rely upon me to work that out.
00:29:44Rely upon me to work that out.
00:30:40Rely upon me to work that out.

00:32:48justin my dearest
00:32:50miss stavely
00:32:51miss gillingham
00:32:53how stunning you look miss stavely
00:33:02oh justin
00:33:04isabel
00:33:08i brought nicholas for you
00:33:10i knew you'd be pleased
00:33:12justin
00:33:13you promised to show me how to play faro
00:33:17nick
00:33:21you
00:33:23you
00:33:24you
00:33:24you
00:33:25you
00:33:25you
00:34:19A little livelier than Staveley Court, Miss Lively.
00:34:21I must say, it has quite taken my breath away.
00:34:23I mean, all that out there.
00:34:25I didn't Justin tell you.
00:34:27His mother's a gambler, too.
00:34:28Fanatical.
00:34:29When London became too hot for her,
00:34:31she turned this place into the biggest gaming house in Europe.
00:34:33She collects 2.5% of the stakes.
00:34:35It's illegal, of course.
00:34:37But if Bo Nash got away with it in Bath half a century ago,
00:34:40why shouldn't she?
00:34:41Her trouble is that as fast as she collects it,
00:34:44she gambles it away herself.
00:34:46I've seen her wager 1,000 guineas on the turn of a card.
00:34:58For heaven's sake, you look like a lovesick calf.
00:35:01If you want her, go out and get her.
00:35:02She has eyes for no one but that confounded Vulcan.
00:35:05You've got to let a girl know you're there.
00:35:07She probably hasn't even seen you.
00:35:09What the deuce do you mean, hasn't seen me?
00:35:10I'm around her the whole time.
00:35:12If you don't understand that, you understand nothing.
00:35:27No little scrap of a girl is going to defy me.
00:35:31I must think.
00:35:36Miss Stavely?
00:35:38I would appreciate a word.
00:35:51What is between you and Justin?
00:35:54There is nothing between me and Justin.
00:35:56I do not wish to wed him,
00:35:57and he certainly does not wish to wed me.
00:36:00I hardly know what I'm doing here.
00:36:01I've never met people like this before,
00:36:02and I would not care if I were never to meet them again.
00:36:05And her ladyship holds me up like a slave to the hopeful bidder.
00:36:07That, as best as I can explain it,
00:36:09is my situation.
00:36:12Oh, Miss Stavely, but I like you for that.
00:36:15I should hate you, but it seems we must be friends.
00:36:20Serena?
00:36:22Friends.
00:36:23Isabel.
00:36:26Do you...
00:36:27Do you love him very much?
00:36:31More than life.
00:36:33But he'll have none of me.
00:36:35And that is part of his deadly attraction.
00:36:38I know it is absurd, but I cannot help it.
00:36:41The colder he is to me, the more he makes me suffer,
00:36:44the more I love him.
00:36:47I do like my men to be men.
00:36:49Do you know that Justin once beat England's champion prizefighter for a bet?
00:36:54What do you think of that?

00:40:12so
00:40:43It's true, this part of the coast is alive with smugglers.
00:40:45It's really your naval patrols.
00:40:47There are so many uninhabited sections, we couldn't hope to cover them all.
00:40:50And all the time, more fastboats are being built in France.
00:40:53Fastboats?
00:40:53They can do nine knots.
00:40:54They simply outrun us.
00:40:56And the customs men.
00:40:58And what do they smuggle?
00:41:00Paris's finest velvets, brandy, tobacco, silks and satins.
00:41:04And the damnable thing is, the gold they get for them goes straight back to France.
00:41:15The devil take you, Rutum.
00:41:17Oh, Harriet, I do hope he does.
00:41:19I couldn't bear to be partied from you.
00:41:22You shall pay for that.
00:41:24Do you challenge me again?
00:41:25To eternity.

00:46:32love how exciting have you found any yet no your ladyship but we have had news of a fast
00:46:39boat in the area and we wondered if we might search your shoreline but of course perhaps
00:46:43you would care to take a stroll through my guests there are some desperate fellows among
00:46:48them that won't be necessary your ladyship just the shoreline if you catch any i want first
00:46:54sight of them i hear they're vastly terrifying they're less terrifying after a touch of cold
00:47:01steel so i've heard your ladyship my dear i've heard many ways of running from a losing streak but
00:47:19aren't you dramatizing rather my breaking off our game had nothing to do with this military intrusion
00:47:24you may recall i left some time before they arrived indeed i do
00:47:29it also occurs to me that the silk
00:47:32that my little fancy there is wearing so charmingly
00:47:37and she seems to have had rather startling experience recently
00:47:41that that silk could have come only from paris
00:47:47as indeed with this unhand me sir you are too sharp good gracious no harriet you know me
00:47:56dim as a poor man's candle no i simply see the puzzle piecing together you do

00:48:08were i to find myself united with the deliciously silken creature who's standing just behind us
00:48:16your ladyship i'm tired and would ask to be excused you may go

00:53:50me on I thought the money was going on mandrake though I knew you were squandering the merest
00:53:55amount I didn't mind that too much but now I find that what it was really for was to finance
