03:21difficult manager no it's not that i just i have my other writing work to consider and i just have
03:26to
03:27find a balance is all that's life's ultimate conundrum isn't it you're right how are we doing
03:32with the illinois central line we've got 30 percent maybe a little more 30 percent i need to control
03:38the line the merrick family won't sell nor will risley sage they both want to govern chicago as do i
03:45what about morency you must understand they only have those minds once they're gone they will have
03:52nothing left and they don't believe us whatever we say i hired you to buy that land you've hired
03:56me to give you wise counsel you may not like what i'm telling you but if you want to buy
04:00them out
04:01you need more money you don't care do you if i'd ask the old clay to get me those mines
04:08he'd have
04:08trodden on his mother's grave to do it all i'm saying is your financial position is not good why do
04:14you think morgan pulled out are you finished yes i agree you are finished with me excuse me i don't
04:26need
04:26counsel to tell me what's not possible i need someone to help me achieve the impossible it's become
04:32very clear you are not that person you have neither the vision nor the courage to continue working
04:37for me it isn't my fault you can't face the truth you're over leveraged in driving your company off a
04:42cliff wake up before it's too late you're fired clay
05:01the news of mr borough and mrs drayton has kept the honeymoon out of the papers but they still print
05:06gossip of her grace and not just her they talk of me and of mr russell's business it must stop
05:11it must be
05:11upsetting man i'm not the mistress of my own house anymore i feel there's a spy around every
05:15corner you're sure it's a member of staff or as i would call them a traitor i'm enlisting the aid
05:20of
05:20mrs bruce and mr borden to help me find the culprit madam can they be trusted i hope so at
05:26this point
05:27everyone is suspect public's always curious about the lives of the fortunate few yes but who's selling
05:36the details in my experience it's always the most recent hire who's the guilty one when it comes to
05:42leaks that makes it hard to narrow down we took on several footmen with the duke's visit and the
05:46wedding but it's someone with a sharp ear this latest story about mr russell buying the illinois
05:51central line is that true i should get back i don't think i'd be much help but i'll give it
05:57thought
05:57if i have any ideas i'll tell you i'd appreciate it the truth is i'm at my wit's end and
06:01worse so is
06:03the mistress is there any news from gladys no but no news is good news george she's settling into
06:17a new life don't worry i walked her down that aisle she looked as if she were headed for the
06:21guillotine
06:22if you want to help her help me find whoever's leaking this nonsense to the papers ertha 20 or 30
06:27people will work in our house most of whom we don't know of course there are leaks of course
06:31they sell secrets about us that is the way we live so what are you suggesting that i should be
06:35the
06:35only woman on the street cooking her own dinner i'm suggesting we should try to avoid having too many
06:40secrets meanwhile i need your help with something or rather someone of course who you know him
06:47alfred marrick he's on the board of the mat his family owns shares in the illinois central line which
06:51i need to buy but they won't sell what can i do invite him to dinner make a fuss at
06:57him pull out
06:58all the stops and charm him into compliance i've tried everything else i heard raised voices coming
07:03from the library earlier is everything all right nothing for you to worry about just set up that dinner
07:12it took nearly 10 years to build sinless castle this gallery was remodeled by the third duke to make a
07:21bachelor corridor that's our mother she's very lovely it's a good likeness but i'm never sure about
07:29wedding portraits my mother had a portrait of me done by mr sergeant it's in new york best place for
07:36it
07:41what is that contraption haven't you ever seen a maestro before you have mice everyone has mice
07:47happily we also have a cat you can't expect us to be up to the minute we've lived here since
07:521612
07:53why i know you americans like to build new houses for yourselves but we would rather stay in one place
07:59the house has quite a rich history while you're away i noticed how shabby the morning room was
08:04looking i need some ideas well i thought i might go to garrett's for their advice aren't they dead
08:09one cousin is dead but the other is working and good with paneling or so i'm told
08:13by the way the mild mayors are dining here tomorrow and the coasters who are they i've done the menus
08:17but do you still hate scallops literally never mind wade will have some ideas
08:23gladys aren't you coming
08:30is that for us i can take them
08:36i hope this job will be a burden to you as you finish your novel
08:39oh i can manage ma'am in fact there doesn't seem to be as much post as there used to
08:44be
08:44yes i've fallen off of many people's lists
08:46you do have a second letter here from the new york heritage society they want money
08:50they're inviting you to be a founding member that's code for a lot of money they're impressed
08:56with the family's long association with new york first they flatter you then the request comes in
09:01and it's always for money this arrived as i came in did i read that return correctly is it from
09:07mr fortune i've agreed to write an article form on francis watkins harper oh but i know of her
09:12that's wonderful is that a train ticket she's in philadelphia i'll leave on thursday to interview
09:17her i don't understand is that wise
09:22why would it be unwise well because miss brooke has the same concerns as you
09:27my heavy workload but this is a real opportunity but of course you must go
09:34will you be traveling alone i know philadelphia quite well might dr kirkland keep you company
09:39why would she need a doctor she's made a full recovery
09:45i was just being silly
09:52i didn't think an encounter with a footman would bring me a fortune
09:55he won't be a footman for long i should say not
09:57now will you tell me why you've asked me in here
09:59i want you to go to morency clay failed to make the deal
10:03now he's gone and i want you to take his place
10:06you fired clay i have and i need this settled right away but i can't leave new york
10:10my investors are skittish i must hold their hands
10:13why don't blame them with the markets in chaos and the run on the back
10:15yes yes
10:17but i'm counting on you
10:19i need this land for the railway expansion
10:23what's in it for me
10:25what i'm not sure i want us to work together
10:27so before i give an answer i'd like to know how it could be of advantage to me
10:33what is it i'm always a bit shocked when i see myself in you
10:37you'll have everything i own in the end
10:39so if this is a success it will eventually be yours
10:43why did clay fail
10:44he said he needed more money
10:45which you weren't willing to give him
10:47no
10:48but i also feel he squandered what i did give
10:52what about the mines
10:53that is not my focus
10:54why not because there's no money to be made of them
10:56if i'm to do this i have to make sure it's worth my while
10:59perhaps i'll invest my own money
11:01still i'm not making any promises
11:05i admire how you negotiate
11:07i'll need the information on the mines
11:09i'll get you the metallurgy report
11:10and i can't leave for a few days
11:11you're leaving tomorrow
11:12i have plans
11:13what is more important than this
11:19i'm going to ask marion brooke to marry me
11:21i think she'll accept
11:23but i wanted to wait until after gladys's wedding
11:25i was going to tell both of you
11:27but i'm not sure how i'll manage that
11:29if i'm going to be in morency for a month

14:06yes
14:06yes
14:26What is it?
14:29I don't know how long to Agnes is going to receive the news.
14:34Let me handle your odds.
14:43We wanted to speak to you both together.
14:46That sounds serious.
14:47Serious or ominous?
14:51It's good news.
14:52Is it?
14:53Yes.
14:55We want to ask for your permission or your blessing, really.
14:59We plan to marry.
15:00Oh, congratulations.
15:03Oh, we couldn't be happier, could we, Agnes?
15:05Not possibly.
15:06Oh, it's wonderful news.
15:11And it's coming on top of the news of the clock.
15:14Yes.
15:14Oh, what news about the clock?
15:16Jack didn't tell you.
15:18We sold our clock for a large sum of money.
15:20A fortune.
15:21Our Jack is now a man of means.
15:23What sort of means?
15:26He'll be quite rich, Aunt Agnes.
15:28Oh, which is lovely, isn't it, Agnes?
15:31Lovely.
15:32But we must go now.
15:33We're telling my parents.
15:35And then I'm meeting some friends for dinner.
15:37To celebrate your engagement.
15:38Not quite.
15:39My roommate from Harvard is getting married.
15:41And a few of us are going to Delmonico's.
15:44Tonight?
15:44Yes, I promised a few weeks ago.
15:47I would invite you, but it's only men.
15:49Well, that sounds fun.
15:51But I'll miss you.
15:53And you're leaving for Arizona in the morning.
15:55Oh, why Arizona?
15:57Oh, my father's business.
15:58What a pity to have to go so soon after you're engaged.
16:02Well, it's only a month.
16:04And then my life will rarely begin.
16:06Meanwhile, I'll be back for dinner.
16:10Congratulations again.
16:17Well, I wonder how many more bolts from the blue I will have to endure before bedtime.
16:24You knew she was fond of him.
16:25Well, I did.
16:26Anyway.
16:27When I asked her if she was interested in him, she dismissed me.
16:31It seems when I ask someone a direct question in my own home, I get lied to.
16:36You're blowing this out of proportion.
16:38Besides, Larry is nice, Agnes.
16:40You know he is.
16:41All I know is that woman will claim kinship.
16:44Just see if she doesn't.
16:45We'll have to manage it, I suppose.
16:47I am being asked to manage too much regarding the Russells.
16:50Not only is he marrying our niece, but he's made our footman rich,
16:55which is upsetting to everyone in this household.
16:59Not the footman.
17:03Absolutely marvelous.
17:06May I present my wife, the Duchess of Buckingham?
17:10How do you do, Duchess, and welcome to England.
17:13Did you have a good journey?
17:14To be honest, I slept most of the way.
17:16All right.
17:19What is that in your hair?
17:21Why?
17:22My maid suggested them, and I like the idea.
17:24You don't seem to understand.
17:26This isn't New York.
17:28You're right.
17:29I don't understand.
17:30If I can wear a tiara, so can you.
17:33I'm afraid your maid is not up to the task if she thought diamond stars were appropriate.
17:39I like them.
17:40I think they're pretty.
17:41Really, Hector, this is way over your head.
17:43Dinner is served.
17:55Who did the plasma?
17:58Me.
17:59You don't know who anyone is.
18:00I changed it a little.
18:02I see.
18:04I have been demoted.
18:06Well, she's my wife.
18:12I have been demoted.
18:35May I offer my congratulations on your business success, Mr. Trotter.
18:40Why?
18:41Is there news at the clock?
18:42Mrs. Forte mentioned it.
18:43Should I not have said anything?
18:45They were bound to find out.
18:47Find out what?
18:49We sold the clock.
18:51You can't be serious.
18:53You amaze me.
18:55How much did you get?
18:58There'll be one to the tea.
19:00I'll take it up.
19:07Really?
19:08But why was he asking for his coat?
19:16It's because he confused the valet with the rector, do you see?
19:19Oh, Hector, don't be unkind.
19:21You can't expect Gladys to develop an English sense of humour overnight.
19:36Are you staying for some port?
19:43Congratulations.
19:44I wish you all the happiness in the world.
19:47Thank you, Mr. Russell.
19:51What is taking mothers so long?
19:53We really should have waited before we started celebrating.
19:56I waited plenty for her and Gladys to settle the details.
19:59This time, I mean to have more of a hand in it.
20:02Mr. Alfred Merrick.
20:08Well, you are quite a sight.
20:10That's a compliment, I hope.
20:11I apologise for being late.
20:13Nonsense.
20:14I'm just coming down now.
20:16Shall we join the others?
20:20Look who I found in the hall.
20:22Mr. Merrick.
20:24Good of you to join us.
20:26You know our son, Larry, and this is our neighbour, Miss Marion Brooke.
20:30She is more than our neighbour now.
20:33What?
20:33We're getting married.
20:35I told father earlier we should have waited,
20:38but father insisted on breaking out the champagne.
20:40Another wedding.
20:41What a joyous time for the Russell family.
20:43What do your aunts make of the news?
20:45They're pleased.
20:46I'm sure.
20:47Why wouldn't they be?
20:49We'll wait for the formal announcement.
20:50Oh, yes.
20:51There's no hurry.
20:51I think it must be after I get back from Renzi.
20:54And why is this news to me as well?
20:56Because it's all just happened today.
20:58But father needs me in Arizona,
21:00so I'm catching a train in the morning.
21:01I leave the house for one charity meeting,
21:03and it seems as if your entire future is decided in my absence.
21:06Well, who's to your future?
21:08To you both?
21:09Here, here.
21:16You must see it.
21:17The Vatican?
21:18Yes, and don't miss the Raphael rooms.
21:21Everyone talks of the Sistine Chapel,
21:24but Raphael's choice of vibrant colours haunts you
21:26like one of Mrs. Russell's gowns.
21:29I should like to visit Italy.
21:31Speaking of which,
21:32the choice to do a season of Italian opera
21:34seems to have been a success.
21:35Norma was a stunning production.
21:37George was away for it.
21:38That's right.
21:39I remember you were there without him.
21:40I couldn't miss it.
21:41Many women will not go out to a bed like that without a husband.
21:45There aren't many women like my wife.
21:47She is one of a kind.
21:51Have you ever been married?
21:52No.
21:53I was engaged once,
21:55but it was called off.
21:57Not by me.
21:58How sad.
21:59What a silly girl.
22:00I'm sorry.
22:01Don't be.
22:01It was years ago.
22:02Count yourself lucky.
22:03If she didn't appreciate you,
22:04then she didn't deserve you.
22:06I'm not sure that's quite fair,
22:07but thank you for lifting my spirits.
22:09I meant what I said.
22:12Tell me about your daughter,
22:13the Duchess,
22:14at her castle in England.
22:15I suppose she's written about in the columns,
22:17but I never read them.
22:19She's doing well.
22:19Well, we hope she's doing well.
22:22We haven't heard much from her.
22:24It must be interesting for her,
22:26whatever else it turns out to be.
22:27Bertha has lofty goals for our children.
22:29I'd say we both do.
22:30This is a house of high ambition.
22:32Your wife wanted an opera box.
22:34Now we have a new opera house,
22:35and the Academy of Music is dust.
22:37That was not my intention.
22:39But that was the result.
22:43I must agree with you, Mr. Merrick.
22:45The Russells do not stop
22:46until we get what we want.
22:50I'll leave you to your port.
22:58I'm no match for you.
23:00My brother taught me to play
23:02when I was quite young.
23:03I have many years of practice.
23:05Is this the brother at the helm
23:07of the Illinois Central Line?
23:08Yes.
23:09Edgar, have you met?
23:10No, but I've done my research.
23:13Your family takes pride in the railway.
23:15We do.
23:17And yet,
23:20you keep selling shares to Risley Sage.
23:22We haven't sold a share in years.
23:24It's true.
23:25Edgar made decisions back then
23:26that let in Sage,
23:27but that won't happen again.
23:30The Illinois Central goes through Chicago,
23:33and there's no better way
23:34to connect the coasts.
23:36Chicago is the key.
23:37That's why Risley Sage wants to control it.
23:39With him, it's a daily struggle.
23:41The instability in the markets
23:43has made your company vulnerable.
23:46But I can change that.
23:47If you sell to me,
23:48I'll transform it.
23:50Make it fit for the future.
23:52Sage would bleed the line of every cent
23:53and then sell it off piecemeal
23:55to the highest bidders.
23:56And you won't do the same?
23:57If you sell to me,
24:00I'll make sure the Merricks
24:01still have a voice
24:02in the most important railroad
24:03in the country.
24:07Your speech broke my concentration.
24:09I'm happy if it makes you
24:10take my offer seriously.
24:15The reason it's in Chicago
24:16is that was the center
24:17of my grandmother's world.
24:19Selling it would be like
24:20getting rid of her.
24:21If you allow me a majority,
24:21you'll still have a great many shares.
24:23And I'll always recognize that.
24:24I don't know you, Mr. Russell.
24:26I know your wife.
24:27And I like her.
24:28But you didn't become this rich
24:30by making heartwarming promises.
24:32Or if you did,
24:32I doubt you kept them.
24:33It's true that none of my competitors
24:34would promise what I have.
24:36Thank you, Mr. Russell.
24:37But we are a proud family.
24:38And Edgar has a plan in place
24:40that will keep him
24:40as head of the company
24:41for years to come.
24:43So I don't think
24:44there's any offer you could make
24:45that would entice us to sell.
24:48Now I'll say goodnight.
24:51Well,
24:53I'm disappointed.
25:07Where'd you meet your husband?
25:11At my first job in New York,
25:13I was a housemaid.
25:15He looked after the accounts
25:16for the kitchens.
25:18So he was a hard worker?
25:20A hard worker.
25:21Funny.
25:24Rather good-looking.
25:27And I was young.
25:29Were you happy?
25:31I think so.
25:35We wanted children.
25:38But some things aren't meant to be.
25:43Was that what caused his melancholia?
25:45I used to think so.
25:48But now I'm not so sure.
25:50You still love him?
25:53That's such a hard question.
25:55I withdraw.
25:55No, don't.
25:59I still love the man he used to be.
26:04But whether he loves me...
26:10Well,
26:12I love you.
26:16I mean it.
26:20And I'm grateful.
26:26I mean that, too.
26:34I think Miss Marion
26:35would want us at the wedding.
26:37Are you sure?
26:38When Mrs. Van Ryn is opposed to it.
26:40She may be,
26:41but she will attend.
26:42In protest.
26:44What does that mean?
26:44It means she wear a frown
26:46and a dark dress.
26:48But we'll be invited.
26:49And so will Jack,
26:50since Mr. Larry is his business partner.
26:53There will not be a servant
26:54at their wedding.
26:55Mrs. Russell won't allow it.
26:56No.
26:57When Jack is probably richer
26:58than most of the other guests.
27:01What do you mean?
27:04Yes.
27:04How can John be that rich?
27:06It's not for me to say.
27:08Oh, come on, Mrs. Bower.
27:09Don't tease us like this.
27:11How much was John paid for the clock?
27:16Three hundred thousand dollars.
27:30Jack, what are you waiting here for?
27:33Come on.
27:40Welcome to the hay market.
27:47What is this place?
27:50It's anything you want it to be.
27:53Women, drinking, entertainment, men.
27:58Gives you fancy.
27:59You want gambling?
28:00There you have it.
28:01Right, 49!
28:03Mr. Barry, I'm not sure
28:04you need to make all this.
28:05It's not complicated.
28:06Enjoy it.
28:07You have money now.
28:08You can afford a more interesting life.
28:10Make sure that you do.
28:11There's my friend at the bar.
28:13Larry!
28:14There you are.
28:15Here, right this way.
28:16Two more for my friends, please.
28:17Have a seat.
28:19This is my partner, Jack Trotter.
28:21What have you heard about the clock?
28:23Well, I do hope you'll have a good evening, Trotter.
28:27And I'll have an evening I won't soon forget.
28:30Well, you certainly picked the right place to celebrate.
28:33Enjoy yourself, son.
28:35This may be your last night at the hay market.
28:37Oh, I wouldn't say that.
28:38That is a very reasonable woman.
28:41No woman is reasonable about a club like this.
28:44No wife, anyway.
28:46Do you want to buy me a drink?
28:47I'm sorry, no.
28:50Don't apologize.
28:51What about you?
28:53I wouldn't mind discussing it.
29:00Larry!
29:01Has one of them got your attention?
29:05I won't be a minute.
29:16Excuse me.
29:18But are you Maude B?
29:21Who's she?
29:23You needn't admit it, of course.
29:25Why should I when my name's Dolly Trent?
29:27Enough.
29:40What happened tonight?
29:42I could ask the same question.
29:43Thank you, Andre.
29:44Yes, madam.
29:45Are you ready for Newport?
29:46I am, madam.
29:48Marion Brooke is not the kind of girl I have in mind for Larry.
29:51Keep out of it, Bertha.
29:52I won't let you do to Larry what you did to Gladys.
29:54I learned he is to marry without my consent.
29:56He is of age and does not require your consent or your approval.
29:59I approve.
30:00And I'm still the head of this house.
30:02Though your behavior tonight has made me think.
30:04What do you mean?
30:05I felt like a cuckold at my own dinner table.
30:07You were the one who begged me to charm him.
30:09You didn't need to be as charming as that.
30:11Should I have sulked in silence?
30:12Well, they won't sell anyway, so it was all a waste of time.
30:14I'm sorry, but I did what you asked.
30:16Really?
30:17Because I've never seen you behave like that with anyone.
30:19You cannot be angry with me if you were unable to close a business deal.
30:22I am not at fault.
30:23Of course not, Bertha.
30:25You are as pristine as a Raphael Fresco.
30:33Might you have done something to offend Lady Sarah?
30:37Not that I can think of.
30:39But she seems to offend easily.
30:41That's true enough.
30:43Mr. Fox told me there'd be a ticket for my passage back to America.
30:47But can she fire me if I work for you?
30:50Let me see what I can do.
31:00How can you dismiss my maid for no reason?
31:03I had my reasons.
31:05And she was never meant to be permanent.
31:07Maybe, but she was to stay to train her replacement.
31:09I'm afraid she's not equipped to train a new maid.
31:12Not for life at Sidmouth, at any rate.
31:15In your opinion?
31:17Yes, in my opinion.
31:18Your opinion is not the only one to be considerate.
31:20Surely even you concede that I know a little more about how things are managed in England.
31:32Why couldn't she keep her maid?
31:34Hector, I'm trying to turn her into an English duchess.
31:37It's hard work and she's unpromising material, but I'm doing my best.
31:41It was you who told me I must save the family with a Yankee heiress.
31:45I suppose it never occurred to me that you'd have to bring her home.
31:48Hmm?
31:52This is to be sent to New York immediately.
31:54Tell no one.
31:55Yes, Sir Grace.
32:02Thank you, William.
32:03Larry.
32:05The metallurgist report you asked for.
32:12There's not much here.
32:13Because the mines are worthless.
32:14Focus on getting the land.
32:16I'll do my best.
32:18I need you to do better than that.
32:24Let me say my goodbyes and then I'll be on my way.
32:33You're leaving now?
32:35I'll be back as soon as I can.
32:37I'll miss you every day.
32:39I'll miss you every moment.
32:43No, no.
32:44Don't mind me.
32:47I should be on my way, too.
32:55Oscar.
32:57I'm glad I caught you.
33:00You ought to know, I saw Maude Beaton last night.
33:08Maude Beaton?
33:10Are you certain?
33:11She was working at the hay market.
33:13What do you mean, what sort of work?
33:16What sort of work to women generally undertake in those kinds of establishment?
33:21I've got to go.
33:23And don't worry, I've told you, but I won't tell anyone else.
33:38Oh, I've dropped my saw.
33:39I'll get it.
33:44Miss Scott.
33:47Mr. Fortune, what are you doing here?
33:52Mr. Kirkland.
33:53Dr. Kirkland.
33:54What's this?
33:55I'm joining Miss Scott for our interview.
33:57That's not what your letter said.
33:58I had a change of heart.
34:00I cabled Mrs. Harper, so it's all set.
34:01Are you giving this assignment to Miss Scott?
34:04She's capable.
34:05Why do you need to be there at all?
34:07Why don't you write your questions down, and I'll ask them for it.
34:10There's no time for that.
34:11You'll miss our train.
34:12There's no we.
34:13I will do this alone or not at all.
34:16I don't understand what the problem is.
34:18She just told you.
34:22Let's not make a scene.
34:23Fortune, you should leave.
34:29I don't like your tone.
34:30It's too bad, because I was being polite.
34:32Please, stop this.
34:33There's no need for this.
34:35Mr. Fortune, I will write the piece alone or I can go home now.
34:40I see.
34:43Have a good trip.
34:45I look forward to reading your article.
34:51I understand why you said things with Mr. Fortune are complicated.
34:55There's more to tell you.
34:56I'll be here when you get back.
35:04I told you you have to find shares elsewhere.
35:07In the end, Risley Sage is a businessman.
35:09Risley Sage is a horrible human being.
35:11I only meant that if Mr. Merrick won't sell, then surely Mr. Sage...
35:13We'd overpay by a factor of ten, and we don't have that kind of money.
35:17Go and find something else.
35:23What was that?
35:25Brinkley.
35:26He's replaced Clay.
35:28Where's Mr. Clay?
35:29I fired him.
35:31What?
35:32Why?
35:33He couldn't close on the Marenzi deal or the Illinois Central Line.
35:36Why didn't you tell me?
35:37I don't tell you everything.
35:38I wish you would.
35:40But what is going on with your business?
35:42There's a recession and some panic in the market.
35:45I'm aware of that.
35:46Will it affect you?
35:47Can you find the money you need?
35:49Had your friend Mr. Merrick taken my offer, we'd be in a better position.
35:53How bad a position are we in?
35:54I don't have time for this.
35:56Just tell me how I can help.
35:57Find out how our daughter is really doing in England.
36:00Gladys is fine, and I'm leaving for Newport tomorrow.
36:02There's a charity.
36:03I don't need the details of your social calendar.
36:05I only mean that I'll be away, and with Larry gone, you'll be on your own.
36:09Good.
36:11George, what is happening?
36:13Everything's at stake.
36:14I've no time to soothe your guilt or calm your fears.
36:18I must get back to work.
36:28Do you ever think of Malt Beaton?
36:31Certainly not, nor should you.
36:33Only my neighbor, Larry Russell, came across it not long ago.
36:37I suppose she's living it up, spending your mother's money.
36:43She's working at the hay market.
36:45So, I don't suppose she's exactly living it up.
36:51Goodness, that's not what I expected at all.
36:55Will you go and see her there?
36:56I'm not sure.
36:59Maybe.
36:59For what purpose?
37:01It can't be revenge.
37:02If she's at the hay market, justice has already been served.
37:05Oh, I'd still like answers.
37:07She left me penniless.
37:09Yes, but...
37:09There's a but.
37:11The deception was mutual.
37:14She may have stolen your money, but if you had married her, you would have stolen her entire life.
37:19Neither of you was being honest.
37:21It's easier not to think of it that way.
37:24She got her just desserts.
37:26Now, thanks to your hard work, so have you.
37:33Mrs. Forte, please, come upstairs.
38:05The spirits told me I would see you again.
38:08Oh, I've brought his watch.
38:11All in good time.
38:13We will begin with Mrs. Forte, please.
38:17Lay your hands flat on the table.
38:20Yes.
38:36I'm glad you did not give up.
38:38Your husband has a message for you.
38:41He does?
38:41He wants you to know he loved you more than he loved anyone else.
38:47He did?
38:48And he knows how much you loved him.
38:51Let me see the watch.
38:53Oh, yes.
38:56Here it is.
39:05Your marriage wasn't long.
39:08No.
39:10Sadly, it wasn't.
39:11And your husband?
39:13He died quickly.
39:17Yes, Mr. Forte wants you to know that he wants you to have peace while on this earth.
39:24And know that you will be reunited again.
39:28He told you all of this?
39:29Yes.
39:31He is here.
39:33He is?
39:38May I speak to him?
39:40Go ahead.
39:44Darling, I miss you so.
39:48Some mornings, I still reach out, hoping to find you next to me.
39:54I'm so utterly lost without you.
39:58It pains, Mr. Forte, to hear you say that.
40:01But he is very proud of the way you have conducted yourself since he's been gone.
40:06No.
40:07He is?
40:08He loves your pure heart.
40:11And he prays for your happiness while you are still in this world.
40:24How was your temperance meeting?
40:27Good.
40:28Rewarding, really.
40:30You sound quite perky.
40:31I'm glad.
40:32I've been thinking.
40:34I might start wearing a little more color.
40:37I only mean half mourning.
40:40Lilac, violet.
40:42But it's less sad than black.
40:45It certainly is.
40:48You rang, Mom.
40:50Ah, yes, Bannister.
40:53Mrs. Forte and I feel we have a right to know how much money our footman will make from his
40:58clock endeavor.
40:59Do not include me in this.
41:01Will you find out?
41:02Yes, Mom.
41:04Agnes, that was too intrusive a question.
41:06Not with John living under my roof.
41:08I know you have the money now, but this was my house for much longer than it's been yours.
41:14Oh.
41:17Oh, it's beautiful.
41:19Oh, he chose it himself.
41:21Oh, my Lord.
41:23Is it public yet?
41:24Not quite.
41:25Larry went to Arizona on business for his father.
41:27He wants it announced as soon as he returns.
41:29Oh, well done.
41:31You're the first person who's been able to cheer me up.
41:34I'm happy to see you smile.
41:35I haven't done it in so long.
41:36It feels strange.
41:38I'm thrilled at your news.
41:40And so pleased you could come.
41:43At least I'll have one friend to talk to at Mrs. Fisher's party.
41:46So Newport is as hard on divorcees as everywhere else?
41:50The locals are kinder.
41:52But this is the season's first big event with summer people from New York.
41:56They say that Mrs. Astor's coming, but I don't think she can be.
41:59Mrs. Fish wouldn't have asked me if she were.
42:01How is Mrs. Astor with you?
42:03I haven't seen her since the news broke.
42:05I've been here.
42:06She has troubles of her own.
42:08You heard her daughter's husband challenged her lover to a duel.
42:11I've read all about it in the papers.
42:13I confess, I don't often feel sorry for Mrs. Astor.
42:16Well, at least it should make her kinder towards you.
42:18I'm not sure.
42:20Lena Astor has her own ways of seeing things.
42:26So will you live here in Newport now?
42:28Maybe.
42:29The lawyers say I'll get the houses when it all goes through.
42:32How have they managed that?
42:33Charles is the adulterer, so the court favors me.
42:37I get the houses.
42:39But of course, he gets our friends and the life we live together.
42:46As soon as I think I have no more tears to shed, they come.
42:52Anyway, enough of all that.
42:56Let's talk of happier things.
42:58All right.
42:59But we should do it in the carriage, or we'll be late to Mrs. Fish.
43:06Mrs. Astor, can we expect your daughter, Mrs. Drayton, to join us?
43:10Ah, no, I'm sorry.
43:11She won't be coming.
43:12That's too bad.
43:13Why is that?
43:14I wanted to thank her.
43:15She spoke to Gladys about life in Europe.
43:17Her advice was very helpful.
43:19Sometimes with Charlotte, we go back to Europe and make a life there.
43:23That might help us all.
43:24Mrs. Marion Brooke and Mrs. Fane.
43:31Mrs. Brooke.
43:33Mrs. Fane.
43:34I wasn't sure you'd come.
43:36I accepted the invitations.
43:38Well, you might not want to stay.
43:41If you'll excuse me, Mrs. Brooke.
43:43Mrs. Astor is here.
43:45I wasn't sure she was going to make it from New York when I asked her.
43:58Aurora, you look well.
44:00Thank you for saying that.
44:02I feel like a pariah.
44:04I'm sorry.
44:05It's not your fault.
44:07I suspect Mrs. Astor may use you as a distraction from the gossip about her daughter's marital woes.
44:12I sympathize with them both.
44:13We're all so quick to see the moat in someone else's eye and forget the plank in our own.
44:18Bless you.
44:19I wish I could do more.
44:20You've done so much already.
44:23Luncheon is served.
44:26Shall we?
44:32Mrs. Fane, I apologize.
44:34This is all very difficult and I'm not quite certain what I should do.
44:38Then I'll tell you.
44:38You should show Mrs. Fane to her seat.
44:40Please don't put me on the spot.
44:41I'll leave.
44:42I don't want to be the source of any trouble.
44:43Then I'll leave with you.
44:44But you can't.
44:45You're our main patron.
44:46If you go, then run for the doors.
44:48You should have thought of that.
44:49No, Bertha.
44:50I don't want to ruin the party for anyone.
44:52How will that help?
44:54I'll go.
44:54I can take Aurora home.
44:55That's so good of you, Miss Brock.
44:57Very well.
44:58If you're sure.
44:58Yes.
44:59Come.
45:05I was invited to this when I was Mrs. Charles Fane.
45:08Now I'm no one.
45:09Oh, Aurora.
45:16Another lovely gathering, Mamie.
45:18I'm grateful to have this moment alone, though you may not be pleased with what I have to say.
45:23That sounds worrying.
45:24You're digging your own grave if you think you can bury Aurora Fane when Charlotte is headed
45:28for the divorce court.
45:29Oh, Charlotte.
45:30Charlotte was always an unruly child, but I thought she'd grow out of it.
45:34We even let her choose her own husband.
45:36But unfortunately, marriage didn't steady her.
45:39Now her failings have become fodder for the gossip mills.
45:42If you know that, then why are you stalking Mrs. Fane?
45:45Stalking?
45:47Charlotte is not getting a divorce.
45:49Mrs. Fane is.
45:50Even if Charlotte were to reconcile with Mr. Drayton, now that he has challenged her
45:55lover to a duel, they have opened a Pandora's box.
45:58Mamie?
46:00You must understand, I cannot weaken on this matter.
46:04Well then, you have one question to answer.
46:08And what is that?
46:10Are you willing to exile your own daughter from society?
46:13If not, you cannot exile Mrs. Fane.
46:20You have a difficult choice to make, Lena.
46:22I do not envy you.
46:24How was Newport, ma'am?
46:26I hope you had an enjoyable stay.
46:28It was interesting.
46:29Any news of our spying traitor?
46:31Not yet, ma'am.
46:32I was right.
46:34Gladys is miserable.
46:35I should never have allowed you to bully her like that.
46:37What are you talking about?
46:38Read it.
46:42What's your great plan now, Bertha?
46:44This can be fixed, and I'll see to it.
46:47I'll go to England.
46:47I don't know if I'm angrier at you or myself.
46:50You made me weak, and I find that hard to forgive.
46:55Someone said the Galiah set sail the day after tomorrow.
46:58What will you say to her when you get there?
47:00You can't make her love him.
47:01I can fix this, believe me.
47:03That's the problem.
47:04I don't think I do believe you anymore.
47:05I can solve this sooner than you think.
47:07I'll be there before Larry even sets foot in Marenzi.
47:09I'll make everything right.
47:11Do what you want.
47:13Don't expect me to be here when you get back.
47:29I'll be there when you get back.
