TVTranscript
00:02Harry was as impertinent as ever when I saw him an hour or so ago.
00:06I think that is an indication that he is recovering.
00:12I received a letter from my sister today.
00:15Which one?
00:17Artemis.
00:18Youngest?
00:21Yes.
00:24She dislikes her governess, but not for any legitimate reason.
00:29She feels weighed down by the continued state of mourning around the house.
00:34And she has asked, again, to be able to come here to visit.
00:43I suggested spring or summer.
00:51Of course, nothing has actually been planned.
00:55We will have to go to London in the spring.
00:58After enduring society and the season, we get to return here, where it's quiet.
01:07Yes.
01:10It is decidedly quiet.
01:12It is decidedly quiet.
01:30How are you feeling?
01:33Hmm.
01:34Much improved.
01:36Being away from the boar and dagger has contributed greatly to my welfare.
01:40And you'll be pleased to know it will not be a source of misery any longer.
01:44It is to be shuttered.
01:46Immediately.
01:50Shuttered?
01:51Hmm.
01:52A closer look at Smith's history and practice has made closing the place absolutely necessary.
01:56Any man who would withhold food, warmth, medical aid, and the ability to send for help when a person is
02:02in distress, and has done so, time and again, ought not be running an inn.
02:10First, you rushed to my rescue.
02:14Then you vanquished the villain who tortured me.
02:18Watch yourself, Adam.
02:23People will begin to think you care.
02:25Shut up, Harry.
02:35Barton!
02:39What is that infernal noise?
02:43I believe that would be described as lively conversation, Your Grace.
02:47And who is responsible for such lively conversation?
02:51Mrs. Pointer.
02:53No doubt the vicar is here as well.
02:54No doubt.
02:56Are you feeling quite yourself today, Barton?
02:59I hear you.
03:00I feel better than I have in years, Your Grace.
03:02It sounds as though Faustin is infested with birds.
03:09A full team.
03:11I believe Cook was exceptionally excited at the prospect of preparing a tea tree once more.
03:17It's been a while here, Grace.
03:20How is it, Barton, that the vicar and his wife came to be in my drawing room?
03:25I do not recall altering the requirement that all guests be informed that I am not at home.
03:31The vicar was quite specific about seeing her, Grace.
03:35When I presented the Duchess with Mr. Pointer's card, I thought she'd actually run down the stairs.
03:40She was so pleased to have call us.
03:43How long has the Pointer's been here?
03:45Only a few minutes, Your Grace.
03:47Well, a few minutes is more than most get.
03:55Of course.
03:56Would you like a cup of tea, Adam?
03:58No.
03:59It is a pleasure to see you again, Your Grace.
04:01I doubt that.
04:02What precisely is the reason for your visit here?
04:05Social call, of course.
04:06Of course.
04:07When in the fifteen years that you have served as vicar, has Fauston Castle ever received visitors?
04:11Not once, Your Grace.
04:13Not once.
04:14What has led you to believe that that has changed?
04:17Wishful thinking?
04:19There will be no callers at Fauston Castle.
04:21Not today.
04:22Not in the future.
04:24Fauston Castle is not receiving Your Grace, or you are not receiving?
04:30It is the same.
04:32Forgive me.
04:33It is not.
04:34Thank you for your hospitality, Your Grace.
04:39Do you come again?
04:44I will see you on Sunday.
04:47Do not lose hope.
04:49Happiness can be found even in dark times.
04:51Persephone doesn't get to be happy.
04:53That is the ending of the myth according to my youngest sister.
04:56Ah, but it is the ending of the tale according to you that matters most.
05:00You might as well stay and finish your tea.
05:06Cook will be offended if the tray is sent back untouched.
05:10Do sit, dear.
05:11Do shine and lemon cake.
05:16Pardon?
05:20Are you sure you wouldn't care for some teeth?
05:26I didn't know I was supposed to turn them away.
05:30They might as well finish their tea.
05:33I thought no one wanted to meet me.
05:35I doubt anyone in the neighborhood even made the attempt.
05:39So I could visit the neighbors?
05:41No.
05:44No.
05:45They may attempt to return the favor.
05:48But I...
05:48I will not have Fauston Castle overrun with people.
05:54Of course not.
05:57Thank you for allowing the pointers to remain.
05:59I have been enjoying their visit.
06:05You, of course,
06:07will own Mrs. Pointer a visit.
06:09I understand she entertains half the county on a regular basis.
06:13I could meet the neighbors that way, then.
06:19If you want to.
06:22If you want to.
06:50Who else was at the vicarage?
06:52Mrs. Milston and her daughter.
06:53Lady Hattisham.
06:55Miss Greenborough.
06:56Hmm.
06:57What did you think of our residence, Minster?
06:59She was very quiet,
07:00so I was not able to form much of an opinion of her.
07:03Miss Tiffany.
07:07It's for me.
07:09You should read it.
07:32Go on, Persephone.
07:35There's no bad news.
07:40Midshipman Linus Lancaster.
07:43Sustain only minor wounds in that battle
07:46and remains aboard the triumphant.
07:50It will as requested be granted
07:52shortly when we return the home.
07:58The other missive
08:00is from Linus.
08:02Linus has written to me.
08:03Hmm.
08:07I don't know how you managed this, Adam.
08:10You needed answers.
08:12I simply ensured you received them.
08:15This is by far the kindest thing
08:16any person has ever done for me, Adam.
08:18Thank you so, so much.
08:37You did that very well.
08:49I just kissed Persephone.
08:52Hmm.
08:53I noticed.
08:56And, um...
09:00I think Persephone noticed as well.
09:03Which is a good thing, really.
09:05If she hadn't even realized
09:06we were kissing her,
09:07one would begin to wonder
09:08about your technique.
09:10Oh, shh.
09:10I know.
09:12Shut up, Harry.
09:25They're getting louder.
09:34Thank you for my letter, Adam.
09:39Linus sounds happy.
09:41He didn't mention Evander,
09:43which worries me a little.
09:45It was always his way
09:46to avoid topics
09:47that were upsetting.
09:51But he did promise
09:52to keep writing.
09:59You don't like it
10:00when I thank you
10:01for the things that you do.
10:06But I really am grateful.
10:11If only you could do something
10:13about the wolves.
10:27If only you could do something
10:29about the wolves.
10:50Persephone?
10:58Persephone?
10:59Persephone?
11:04What happened?
11:06You were thrown from a horse.
11:08Are you hurt?
11:10Can you sit up?
11:12I don't know.
11:15Let me help you.
11:18Careful.
11:22How?
11:24Does anything hurt?
11:26You asked me that already.
11:28A person can be killed
11:29being thrown from a horse.
11:31Until I'm certain you are not hurt,
11:32I'm going to keep asking you questions.
11:38What happened?
11:40I can't explain it, you Chris.
11:42It's almost like
11:43something spoke the horse.
11:45We're fortunate
11:45she didn't come to serious harm.
11:47Yes, you Chris.
11:52Your Abigail can have
11:53a hot bath prepared.
11:55That should help
11:55with any stiffness.
11:57There really is no need
11:58for this much fuss.
12:00When you're too stiff
12:01to come down for dinner,
12:02you'll disagree.
12:02Be careful.
12:05There you are.
12:09That is very kind of you, Adam.
12:11You were thrown from a horse, Persephone.
12:14Any decent gentleman
12:15would be concerned.
12:22I can have the kitchen
12:23send up a tray
12:24if you would rather
12:24not come down for dinner.
12:26I really am
12:27feeling fine already.
12:29I think I was more startled
12:30than anything else.
12:33When I'm
12:34a little more sure
12:35of myself,
12:37might I come riding
12:38with you and Harry?
12:41Atlus can't keep pace
12:43with Zeus.
12:44Couldn't you
12:44rein Zeus in a little
12:45or
12:46let me join you
12:47at the end of your ride
12:48once Zeus has slowed down?
12:53Zeus is impatient.
12:54He might make
12:55Atlus nervous.
12:57Couldn't I at least try?
13:02I would rather you not
13:03take that chance.
13:06But you would be there.
13:10Yes, but
13:11that is no guarantee.
13:25I'm sorry.
13:31Adam.
13:54Take this.
13:56It is too
13:56blasted quiet in here.
14:17Oh, the blazes
14:18has taken so far.
14:21So you are awake.
14:22Adam.
14:23Are you stiff
14:23from your fall?
14:24Does it hurt to walk?
14:29They are loud tonight.
14:34How long do you plan
14:35to sit at that window
14:36and worry about wolves?
14:37Until they stop.
14:41You should have come in
14:43when they first started.
14:45Come in?
14:46And curled up on the bed
14:47wrapped up in that blanket.
14:49You knew?
14:51I thought you were asleep.
14:56Asleep?
14:56Oh, I can't sleep.
14:58You've ruined the room
14:59for me.
14:59What do you mean
15:00I've ruined it?
15:01My bedchamber
15:02used to be quiet.
15:03And then you started
15:04coming in
15:04and making all those
15:05noises while you're sleeping.
15:07I make noises?
15:08And you move
15:09constantly.
15:10Loud noises?
15:11But no.
15:13No, like a puppy.
15:17Little noises.
15:19And that doesn't
15:20bother you?
15:22I've grown used to it.
15:23I don't want
15:24to bother you.
15:28you won't.
15:31The wolves
15:32don't worry me
15:33as much
15:33in your bedchamber.
15:37Like Wiser and him?
15:40No.
15:42The way I forget it,
15:44if the pack ever
15:44actually makes it
15:45into the castle,
15:46they'll eat you first.
15:58Good night, Adam.
16:00Good night,
16:01Persephone.
16:01Good night.
16:11Adam?
16:13Yes?
16:16Why did you decide
16:17to get married?
16:23At the time,
16:25it seemed like
16:26a good idea.
16:30Does it now?
16:40Mrs. Adcock
16:41said you would.
16:42Said I would what?
16:44Regret
16:44marrying me.
16:53When I visited
16:54the vicarage
16:54several days ago,
16:58Mrs. Adcock
16:59said that
16:59most gentlemen
17:00who pay for a wife
17:01regret the purchase
17:02in the end.
17:04It was blatantly obvious
17:06she was referring
17:07to our marriage settlement.
17:09Mrs. Adcock
17:10had mentioned
17:11her sizable dowry
17:12at least a dozen times,
17:14so I
17:16happened to ask
17:17Lady Hedisham
17:18loudly enough
17:18for Mrs. Adcock
17:19to hear
17:21whether or not
17:22it seemed odd
17:23that some ladies
17:24found it necessary
17:25to offer money
17:25to prospective
17:26bridegroom
17:27in order to bring
17:28him up to scratch.
17:31No gentleman
17:32would accept
17:32a horse
17:33so ill-recommended
17:34that he had to be
17:35bribed to accept it.
17:40I thought
17:41Mrs. Adcock's tea
17:42would come flying
17:43out her ears.
17:44She looked so
17:44livid.
17:45Will you compare it
17:47to a horse?
17:49I doubt even I
17:50could produce
17:51such a cutting retort
17:52on Persephone.
17:53I have not
17:55pulled caps
17:55with anyone
17:56in years.
17:56I'm not ashamed
17:58to admit
17:59that I enjoyed it.
18:00I felt like
18:02a regular warrior.
18:04Perhaps
18:04before I next
18:05call at the vicarage,
18:06I should try
18:07on one of the suits
18:07of armor for size.
18:08I could check
18:09the armory
18:10for a jousting lance
18:11and simply
18:11unseat my adversary
18:12as she rides
18:13up to the vicarage.
18:14I would be
18:16the terror
18:17of the neighborhood.
18:19Well,
18:20if it comes
18:20to full combat,
18:21let me know.
18:22I'm rather handy
18:23with a crossbow.
18:24Maybe Harry
18:25could be our page
18:26if we could go
18:26conquer Adcock Manor.
18:27Harry would make
18:28an abysmal page.
18:31You might be trusted
18:33with a battle axe,
18:33though.
18:36We would make
18:37a wonderfully
18:38fearsome team.
18:41You see, Adam,
18:42marriage to me
18:43might not be
18:43such a terrible
18:44thing for you
18:45after all.
19:25you wish to ride
19:25today, Your Grace?
19:27His alibi is still
19:28unhappy.
19:29You said he doesn't
19:30like the cold?
19:31No, it's not just
19:32the cold.
19:33He was treated
19:34badly before.
19:35Doesn't trust people.
19:38Figures they treated
19:38him bad before,
19:39they'll treat him
19:40bad again.
19:41But no one here
19:42would ever hurt him.
19:43Nah, it doesn't
19:44matter.
19:45They'll not give you
19:46a chance to
19:47not fight you
19:48till holy perdition,
19:49that one.
19:51Seems like a lost
19:52cause.
19:54Why keep trying?
19:55There's no lost
19:56causes, Your Grace.
19:58Every creature
19:59needs someone
20:00who can save them.
20:01If they'll only try.
20:04There's many hope
20:04when you're the sort
20:05who tries.
20:08this poor creature
20:10seems so angry.
20:13I'm more afraid
20:14than furious.
20:17Been afraid for years.
20:19Why?
20:22What happened?
20:25Got torn apart and
20:26left behind.
20:28Decided to bite
20:29before anyone bit
20:30first.
20:31if nobody gets
20:32close,
20:35nobody can hurt him.
20:51Welcome back.
20:53Good morning,
20:53Super Sepody.
20:54Good morning.
20:56Good morning, Adam.
20:58Good morning.
20:59Are you wanting
20:59to ride?
21:00I was thinking
21:01about it.
21:02If you do,
21:03I fear we'll be
21:03forced to postpone
21:04our siege.
21:06You two are
21:07planning a siege.
21:12Why do I get
21:13the feeling my
21:14presence is not
21:14particularly appreciated
21:16just now?
21:16I would think,
21:18Harry,
21:18that you would
21:19feel that way often.
21:20If you go now,
21:21you'll have plenty
21:21of time to pack.
21:22But you'll miss me.
21:23I never miss
21:25anyone.
21:28Hmm.
21:49Your name is on
21:50the lips of every
21:51member of the
21:52tour.
21:53Some are saying
21:54that Persephone
21:54has left you
21:55already.
21:57Thank you,
21:57Mother.
22:00Madam?
22:03May I talk
22:03with you
22:04for a moment?
22:09Mrs. Smithson
22:10skipped this room
22:11when she gave
22:12me my tour.
22:14I haven't
22:14ever been in here.
22:17No one ever
22:18comes into this room.
22:20I am overstepping
22:21myself.
22:21No.
22:23No.
22:24No.
22:36Who is this
22:37you're standing
22:38beside, Adam?
22:39My father.
22:42I thought he must be.
22:43You look very much
22:44like him.
22:46Do I?
22:47You have the same
22:48eyes.
22:50And there is
22:50something similar
22:51about your mouth
22:51and the shape
22:52of your face.
22:54And of course
22:55you both have
22:55dark hair.
22:57I suppose there
22:58is a resemblance.
23:02Your nose is your
23:03mother's.
23:04I noticed that
23:04when I first saw
23:05the two of you
23:06together.
23:11Are you like him
23:12in other ways?
23:13My father?
23:19I hope so.
23:28You wanted to
23:29speak to me
23:29about something.
23:32The Triumphant
23:33will make port
23:34the last week
23:35of November.
23:36Linus will be
23:37granted three weeks,
23:38surely.
23:38Isn't that wonderful?
23:40The Triumphant
23:41will be docking
23:41at Newcastle.
23:42I could be there
23:44and see him
23:44before he departs
23:45for Shropshire.
23:46Be there?
23:48In Newcastle?
23:49I wouldn't be gone
23:50more than a day
23:50or two.
23:51Of course,
23:52I would want to
23:52see him off as well,
23:53which would mean
23:54going back
23:54when the Triumphant
23:55sets out again.
23:58You cannot go.
24:03Please, Adam.
24:06It would only be
24:07a few days.
24:08I need to see him
24:11for myself.
24:12I need to know
24:13that he is well
24:14and whole.
24:16To have even a moment
24:17with the only brother
24:18I have left,
24:18this is important
24:20to me, Adam.
24:23Things of importance
24:24to me should matter.
24:31What if he came here?
24:32But you don't
24:34allow visitors.
24:35It makes more sense
24:36than you journeying
24:36to Newcastle twice.
24:38Linus could come
24:39to Fauston
24:39before going
24:40to see your family.
24:41Do you mean it?
24:43I don't say anything.
24:44I don't mean.
24:46It wouldn't be
24:47too much of an imposition.
24:50I'd very much like
24:51to meet the boy myself.
24:53Really?
24:55Linus might make
24:55a great addition
24:56to our siege.
24:58Harry would probably
24:59faint dead away
25:00at the first battle cry.
25:01Oh.
25:06Thank you, Adam.
25:18Thank you, Adam.
25:21Why do you never leave?
25:24Good afternoon
25:25to you, too.
25:28Answer the question.
25:30Is this a pointed
25:31interrogation?
25:33More of an
25:33intellectual discussion?
25:35Intellectual discussion.
25:39Why do I never leave?
25:43Because I like Fauston.
25:44Why?
25:45Free food.
25:45I'm in earnest.
25:46I need you to be as well.
25:47The food is nothing
25:47to disregard.
25:48Cook is a miracle worker.
25:54Sorry for that.
25:57Fauston is familiar.
25:59It's comfortable.
26:00So you feel the same way
26:01about the house in London?
26:03You spend a lot of time
26:04there as well,
26:04and you've come with me
26:05to Kent a few times.
26:07This is a pointed interrogation,
26:09isn't it?
26:11Look, if you were trying
26:12to tell me to make myself scarce
26:13now that you're married,
26:14I completely understand.
26:14No, it's not that at all.
26:19Then what is it?
26:24I want to know
26:26why you've stayed around
26:28all these years.
26:30We're friends, Adam.
26:32Friends don't just
26:33jump ship.
26:35I think your answer
26:35about the food
26:36was more honest.
26:37Did it ever occur to you
26:38that I sincerely
26:39consider you a friend?
26:42What?
26:45Best friend, in fact.
26:50Because of her, oh?
26:52May have started that way.
26:54You saved my skin.
26:57So I worshipped you
26:58for a while.
27:00You're like an idol.
27:01You could ward off
27:02evil spirits, I suppose.
27:06But then...
27:08Then you landed me
27:09a facer for something
27:10stupid I did.
27:12Or said.
27:13I remember that quite well,
27:15but not what we were
27:15scuffling up.
27:16And we were sent down.
27:18My parents were away,
27:19so we came here.
27:23In those two weeks
27:24of our expulsion,
27:26I met
27:28Adam Boyce.
27:30The Duke of Kilda?
27:31Ha!
27:32Still scared the guts
27:33out of me.
27:34But Adam Boyce
27:37was just a boy.
27:38Like me.
27:42Why the sudden interest
27:44in our colourful childhood?
27:46in our colourful childhood?
28:11It looks frigid out there,
28:13doesn't it?
28:15It does.
28:19Persephone looks cold,
28:20Adam.
28:22You should go and
28:22keep her warm.
28:25Keep her warm?
28:27The fact that my suggestion
28:29confuses you
28:30does not bode well.
28:34My friend,
28:36it didn't...
28:40didn't confuse me.
28:57She is lonely
28:58in this empty causal.
29:04just as Mother was.
29:11Persephone.
29:15I heard them, Adam.
29:16The walls,
29:17they're inside Falston.
29:18They are still outside the castle.
29:19They're so loud.
29:20They sound so much closer.
29:22They are not
29:22inside the castle walls,
29:24Persephone.
29:25Are you certain?
29:27Absolutely.
29:30I have tea sent up
29:31to my book room.
29:32Yes, Ingrace.
29:43I know.
29:44I shouldn't be so afraid of them,
29:46but the howling
29:48sends chills through me.
29:51I will have my steward
29:52check on the pack
29:53so you can breathe
29:54more easily.
29:55I had always been told
29:56that there were
29:58no more wolves
29:58in England.
30:00Our pack is descended
30:01from the last of the wolves
30:02that roamed the area
30:04and the wild dogs
30:06that called the forest home.
30:07Are they
30:09less vicious
30:10than true wolves, then?
30:13They are more wolf
30:15than anything else,
30:16but they always give
30:17the castle a wide berth.
30:30I think...
30:34I think we should hold
30:36a ball.
30:36A ball?
30:37Unless you don't want to.
30:38I assumed you
30:39wouldn't want to.
30:40It would mean
30:41a lot of people
30:42in the castle.
30:46Every bride
30:48should have a ball.
30:51We are still
30:53in mourning.
30:55I think a wedding ball
30:57would be permissible.
31:01Do you mean...
31:07you don't say things
31:08you don't mean?
31:11No.
31:15No, I don't.
31:19Yes, Adam.
31:21We should host
31:23a ball at Fauston.
31:27Adam suggested it.
31:29Adam!
31:31Is it the Adam I know?
31:33I am as surprised
31:34as you are.
31:36He's been doing
31:37a lot of uncharacteristic
31:37things lately.
31:39Barton says
31:40Cook is in tears.
31:41What did you do to her?
31:43I didn't do anything
31:44to her.
31:44She's informed
31:45about the upcoming ball.
31:46She's that upset about it.
31:47She's that pleased
31:48about it.
31:48She's been reduced
31:49to weeping
31:50at the kitchen work table.
31:51How has the rest
31:52of the staff reacted?
31:54Mrs. Smithson
31:54is rushing about
31:55as though the ball
31:56is this evening
31:56instead of three weeks
31:57from now
31:58and Barton
31:59has simply begun
31:59grinning when he
32:00thinks I'm not looking.
32:01Three weeks from now?
32:02But Adam Linus
32:03is coming in
32:04three weeks' time.
32:05Please tell me
32:06you haven't changed
32:06your mind
32:07about his visit.
32:08Of course not,
32:09Persephone.
32:10He can be here
32:11for the ball.
32:14Why the sudden
32:15urge to entertain,
32:16Adam?
32:17First,
32:18you invite Persephone's brother
32:20and the ball
32:21will bring every family
32:22of consequence
32:22in the northern half
32:23of England
32:23to Falstern
32:24at the same time.
32:26That is precisely
32:27the sort of thing
32:28that makes you miserable.
32:29I don't want you
32:30to be miserable.
32:31I will not be miserable.
32:32You will simply
32:33make the rest
32:33of us miserable.
32:35Perhaps you should
32:36put an end
32:36to the entire thing
32:37and save us
32:37the suffering.
32:38Shut up, Harry.
32:42Harry
32:43is not nearly
32:44persuasive enough
32:45to convince me
32:45to cancel Linus' visit.
32:47There is no need
32:48to worry over that.
32:49But there is.
32:50You tell me to trust you
32:52but I don't know
32:52that I can.
32:54There is so much
32:55I don't know
32:56about you, Adam,
32:57so much I don't
32:57understand
32:58and that frightens me.
33:02I frighten you.
33:03That isn't what I said.
33:05It really isn't.
33:06Shut up, Harry.
33:09I am happy to see
33:10I am a unifying force.
33:11At the moment,
33:12Harry Windover,
33:13you are a frustrating force.
33:14Harry, now would be
33:15a perfect opportunity
33:16for a timely exit.
33:17Him taken.
33:24I have faults,
33:25Persephone,
33:27like any other man,
33:29but I am not
33:30a liar.
33:33I was raised
33:34by a man
33:34who valued
33:35honesty
33:36and loyalty
33:37and keeping
33:39one's word.
33:41Now, I have promised you
33:42that your brother
33:43will visit you here
33:43and that Fauston Castle
33:45will host a ball
33:46and no one,
33:47not Harry,
33:47not anyone else,
33:49will browbeat me
33:50into going back
33:51on that promise to you.
33:53On any promise to you.
33:57I want to believe that.
33:59And your happiness
34:00does matter.
34:02You should believe that, too.
34:06I'm beginning to.
34:29Good afternoon.
34:30You look a bit unwell,
34:32poor boy.
34:34I'm fine.
34:36I was just telling Persephone
34:38of all the wonderful balls
34:39we used to have
34:40here at the castle.
34:41Even the London papers
34:43were full of every detail
34:44of the evening.
34:46Who attended,
34:47the decorations,
34:49the menu.
34:51Fauston balls
34:52were positively legendary.
34:55I'm certain our ball
34:56will be far less elaborate.
34:57Well, that's why
34:58I've rushed back.
34:59It could be extraordinary.
35:02A few changes
35:03to the menu,
35:04perhaps a more dramatic
35:05decorating scheme.
35:07It is enough
35:07that there will be
35:08people here.
35:09That should be plenty
35:10to fill the London papers
35:12with pages
35:12of shocked commentary.
35:15The castle's
35:16always been more pleasant
35:18when it's been festive.
35:20Mrs. Smithson
35:20and I have discussed
35:21the menu
35:22and the preparations.
35:23I am quite satisfied
35:24with what we've chosen.
35:26Hmm.
35:27Satisfied
35:27and pleased
35:28are not the same thing.
35:31You'll be desperate
35:32to leave before long
35:33if something's not done
35:34to liven the place.
35:35We are holding a ball,
35:36Mother.
35:37That has always been
35:38enough festiveness
35:38for you to return
35:39to Fauston.
35:42It sounds to me
35:43like it's hardly a ball.
35:48I suppose
35:49the arrangements
35:50could be made
35:51a bit more extensive.
35:54Oh, I sound just like father.
35:56I assure you both
35:57I am satisfied
35:59and pleased
36:00with our current arrangements.
36:01They suit my preferences.
36:03You really must let me
36:05help with future entertainments.
36:07We could hold
36:08ever so many
36:09both here and in London.
36:11You'll have far too much
36:12fun to be unhappy.
36:17If you'll please
36:17excuse me.
36:26All of the balls
36:27you held for Mother
36:28weren't enough
36:28to keep her here
36:29so why the blasted blazes
36:30am I trying
36:31the same approach?
36:33Dukes don't need people
36:34you said.
36:35We're better off
36:36without her.
36:38Persephone will leave too.
36:40In the end,
36:40everyone does.
36:47You will hurt your hand
36:48if you keep doing that.
36:52Go eat your dinner,
36:53Persephone.
36:55I intend to.
36:59On the desk
37:00will be fine.
37:04I'm not hungry.
37:06Perhaps not,
37:07but I am.
37:16Mother...
37:17Is taking her meal
37:17with Harry.
37:19I am eating here.
37:21No one eats
37:22in this room.
37:23You would rather
37:24I starve?
37:25If you are truly
37:26on the verge
37:26of expiring them,
37:27by all means...
37:30take some nourishment.
37:42Blast it.
37:44Does smell good,
37:45doesn't it?
37:45What a shame
37:45you aren't hungry.
37:47Is that a hint,
37:48Persephone?
37:49A hint?
37:51You are trying
37:52to convince me
37:52to join you.
37:54This is for me.
37:55If you want something,
37:56you will have to send
37:56to the kitchen
37:57for it yourself.
38:01You plan to eat
38:02an entire chicken?
38:03It is not
38:04an entire chicken.
38:05I'm not such
38:06a very large one
38:07at that.
38:07In fact,
38:08it is a very good thing.
38:09There is plenty
38:10to go with it,
38:11otherwise I would be
38:11in very real danger
38:12of wasting away.
38:23You didn't expect
38:24me to eat
38:25an entire chicken,
38:26did you?
38:38Thank you
38:39for the dinner,
38:40Persephone.
38:42Thank you
38:43for allowing the ball,
38:45for inviting Linus
38:46to visit.
38:49It is nice
38:49having something
38:50to look forward to.
39:06Would you like
39:07having more balls
39:08and entertainments?
39:12I would
39:12now and then,
39:16but I miss my family
39:17more than I miss
39:17company.
39:20They are so
39:21very far away,
39:22it sometimes
39:23feels as though
39:24I'll never see
39:24them again.
39:28They may very well
39:29go to London
39:30for the season.
39:31You could see
39:32them there.
39:33You could see
39:34a lot of people
39:34there.
39:36That should
39:37tide you over
39:37for a while.
39:40I would have
39:41to get my fill
39:41then,
39:42I suppose.
39:44I suppose.
39:45I suppose.
