Short filmTranscript
00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day.
00:00:07Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth.
00:00:11Our debts will be cleared,
00:00:13father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth!
00:00:37This was just found in the bride's dressing room!
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me.
00:00:49I can't do this.
00:00:50I won't be traded off to some man.
00:00:52I'm so sorry it had to be you who found this.
00:00:55Don't come looking for me.
00:00:56Jane.
00:00:58Oh, Jane.
00:00:59Do you know that if you run away from your wedding
00:01:01with the Earl of Wyndick,
00:01:02the Fenwick family will be ruined completely?
00:01:15The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family
00:01:18before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed.
00:01:21If not for some old favor the Fenwicks once did the late Earl,
00:01:23it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:50Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:01:54There's no time.
00:01:54I don't know.
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick.
00:02:35That's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister?
00:02:37But she's...
00:02:38The illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth?
00:02:49Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter
00:02:53and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:57Regina, please.
00:02:59Not here.
00:03:00I call sin.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:03Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord.
00:03:10I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation
00:03:13and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:20I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40It is my honour to present to you...
00:03:44my bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:00I became a count, Dennis.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormut later today.
00:04:21Shh.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:32Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:11None of us attended.
00:05:13But I've heard every detail.
00:05:15They say the sister ran off
00:05:16and the younger one took her place.
00:05:19Showed up in riding clothes, no less.
00:05:21You do keep well informed, Dorothea.
00:05:23Tell me,
00:05:24was she truly in riding clothes?
00:05:26Mrs. Milsom's daughter was sitting in the front rows.
00:05:28She said when the cloak fell,
00:05:29the entire church went silent
00:05:30for a full five seconds.
00:05:32Five seconds?
00:05:33When was the last time you managed that?
00:05:35I've never had the pleasure
00:05:36of causing such a spectacle.
00:05:38Poor Earl.
00:05:39Poor?
00:05:40I don't think so.
00:05:41He doesn't do anything out of pity.
00:05:42He has his reasons.
00:05:44A piece of Fenwick land,
00:05:45an old debt,
00:05:46something of that sort.
00:05:47As for the girl,
00:05:48I'd wager she's some wild little country girl.
00:05:50Hard, curly fit for society.
00:05:52Likely doesn't even know her manners.
00:05:59Who is that over there?
00:06:01A gardener,
00:06:02or one of the maids?
00:06:04Just look at the state of her.
00:06:06About that level, I'd say.
00:06:08Edward's new wife can't be much better.
00:06:11You?
00:06:11The one picking strawberries.
00:06:12Come here.
00:06:19Are you speaking to me?
00:06:21Of course.
00:06:22Who else could I be speaking to?
00:06:34Pour us some tea.
00:06:41My dear,
00:06:42do stay for a cup of tea
00:06:42before you go.
00:06:52Oh, how clumsy.
00:06:57Lady Winfend,
00:06:58your tea is ready.
00:06:59The housekeeper says
00:07:00there are new letters
00:07:01for your attention.
00:07:02If you would come with me.
00:07:10You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:22My lady.
00:07:26That's my girl.
00:07:29My lord.
00:07:33Tell Lady Winwood that I...
00:07:35Wait.
00:07:40Give this to Lady Winven.
00:07:43And...
00:07:44Yes, my lord.
00:07:54Please excuse me.
00:08:01You saw that, didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself.
00:08:04Deliberate.
00:08:04Every bit of it.
00:08:05Pretending to be a servant
00:08:06just to make fools of us.
00:08:07Yes.
00:08:08Very deliberate.
00:08:09Married in riding clothes.
00:08:11Picking strawberries herself.
00:08:12Hair in that state.
00:08:14What?
00:08:14On earth has Edward brought home?
00:08:16What, indeed.
00:08:18I am curious how you intend
00:08:19to finish that sentence, Dorothea.
00:08:21Who do you think you are?
00:08:22A country girl who stumbled
00:08:24into a title
00:08:25through a farzical wedding?
00:08:26What right do you have?
00:08:28Today you sit in my garden,
00:08:29at my table,
00:08:30drinking tea you brought yourself
00:08:31and you didn't so much
00:08:32announce your arrival.
00:08:33If you know your cousin
00:08:34as you say you do,
00:08:35you'd know he dislikes being disturbed.
00:08:36Next time, send word ahead.
00:08:38I'll have tea prepared,
00:08:39properly hot, not scolded.
00:08:42My lady,
00:08:43the Earl will be arriving shortly.
00:08:45He asks that you come out
00:08:46to receive him.
00:08:48Is my cousin back?
00:08:50I haven't seen him in ages.
00:08:52I'll go greet him as well.
00:08:54Lady Dorothea,
00:08:55Lord Edward has made it clear
00:08:56that now that he is married,
00:08:58all visitors are to be received
00:09:00only with Lady Winewield's consent.
00:09:12Please lead the way.
00:09:13My apologies, my lady.
00:09:15His lordship has been called away again.
00:09:17He did, however,
00:09:18leave strict instructions
00:09:19that you are not to be disturbed.
00:09:21This was just delivered for you.
00:09:30Word has it his trip to London
00:09:31had less to do with business
00:09:32and more to do with
00:09:33rekindling an old flame,
00:09:35Cecilia Marlott,
00:09:36his mother's goddaughter.
00:09:37They were raised together
00:09:38at Thornwood, apparently.
00:09:41What happened after?
00:09:44She married an old duke in Wales.
00:09:47Poor girl.
00:09:48You feel sorry for her?
00:09:50Her husband just died.
00:09:52She's inherited a fortune.
00:09:55Who knows?
00:09:56She might come back.
00:09:57You'd better secure
00:09:58Lord Edward's affections
00:09:59while you can.
00:10:00I have not seen him
00:10:02since our wedding.
00:10:03What?
00:10:03How could that possibly be?
00:10:05It was wrong of me
00:10:06to take my sister's place
00:10:07and marry him that day.
00:10:08I never thought beyond that.
00:10:11Oh, my dear.
00:10:13What a cruel twist of fate.
00:10:15You were meant to go to London
00:10:16to study
00:10:17and now you're trapped
00:10:18in this cold, dreadful place.
00:10:20So his affections
00:10:21were already given elsewhere
00:10:23and I've only trapped in here.
00:10:32After all,
00:10:33what is there between
00:10:34Lord Edward and me
00:10:34but a signature
00:10:35in the parish register?
00:10:37A tranquil life
00:10:38that suits me well enough.
00:10:41So cold.
00:10:47Elizabeth,
00:10:49consider this my return
00:10:50for the insult.
00:10:52Enjoy finding your way
00:10:53across Thornwood
00:10:54with nothing on.
00:11:09Oh, no.
00:11:11Oh, no.
00:11:33The Countess of Wyndham
00:11:49My Lord, this is... I can explain
00:11:54Please do not
00:11:58You may... you may turn around now
00:12:06My Lord, this is entirely unnecessary
00:12:09I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:12You are barefoot on flint
00:12:14Kindly be still
00:12:22My Lord
00:12:24I'm here
00:12:26I still owe you an explanation
00:12:27Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:32As you can see, I'm not otherwise occupied
00:12:37I took my sister's place and married you that day because...
00:12:40Because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten
00:12:44I see
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this
00:12:50The moment you said I do at that altar
00:12:52You fulfilled the agreement
00:12:54You owe me nothing more
00:12:56So this is all just an agreement to you?
00:12:58Nothing more?
00:12:59Is it not?
00:13:00I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean, Elizabeth
00:13:07That's the first time he's said my name
00:13:08I understand, my Lord
00:13:10Call me Edward
00:13:11I've married you
00:13:13You're my wife
00:13:14You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth
00:13:16Including the right to know your husband
00:13:31Cecilia
00:13:33Cecilia Marlowe
00:13:34The girl Edward grew up with
00:13:40Milo, Edward
00:13:41Sit down
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:47Please do
00:13:49Is there someone else you care for?
00:13:52In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:00Not in the least
00:14:01I only mean to say
00:14:03I've no objection to any other attachments you may have
00:14:06This marriage serves both our families
00:14:09I have no wish to be a petty, jealous Countess
00:14:12And if I were to tell you there is no such person
00:14:14Would you believe me?
00:14:17I, yes, I believe I would
00:14:31Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Windorf
00:14:34I should like
00:14:36If you're willing
00:14:37To have a true marriage
00:14:40In every sense
00:14:43In every sense
00:14:45Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham line?
00:14:50Come in
00:14:52It is late
00:14:54Yes
00:15:05Elizabeth
00:15:06Yes
00:15:08You are frightened
00:15:13I'm not
00:15:14I mean it would be entirely reasonable for you to
00:15:16Elizabeth
00:15:20I will not require anything of you tonight
00:15:23I beg your pardon
00:15:24You heard me
00:15:26But it is, it is your right
00:15:28I am aware of what the law allows me
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow
00:15:37Good night, Elizabeth
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:16:09Edward
00:16:18This isn't helpful.
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind.
00:17:09My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this.
00:17:39What does he take me for?
00:17:41It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:54I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:07Lady Windham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:15Rupert.
00:18:16You know Lady Winda, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:48My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:49The understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady, a message for you.
00:19:07Can not return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:10Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Windham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:25I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert.
00:19:31It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:34You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:51Lady Windham, what a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:54Mr. Bellman.
00:19:56I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes.
00:19:59I stepped out for some air and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:04Marriage suits you.
00:20:06Thank you. I believe I should return home.
00:20:07No need to hurry.
00:20:08It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellaman.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you, as lovely as you, deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband...
00:20:19That's enough!
00:20:21Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:22I mean it kindly.
00:20:25Hmph.
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Windham.
00:20:53You are going the wrong way.
00:20:55Allow me to show you out.
00:20:56Come who's my lady.
00:20:59Oh, sure.
00:21:02I'mí–‰.
00:21:02Howard, I'm coming.
00:21:03You're not going to be good.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellaman.
00:21:06Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:10And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed
00:21:24I only wish to talk
00:21:25Then speak from where you stand
00:21:30My dear
00:21:35Stop!
00:21:39What do you think you're doing?
00:21:42Dorothea, you must forgive me
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation
00:21:47Lady Winded sought me out
00:21:49Elizabeth, how dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect
00:21:54But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain
00:21:57Good lord, did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:04I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable
00:22:07I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:09He'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation
00:22:11Now, apologize to my fiancé
00:22:14At once
00:22:15Miss Vane
00:22:16You will address me correctly
00:22:18Or you will not address me at all
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy
00:22:37My lord
00:22:38Thank god you're here
00:22:39Lady Winford approached Rupert herself
00:22:42We were only trying to...
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:46Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward
00:22:54Edward
00:23:03My apologies
00:23:04I seem to have arrived a moment too late
00:23:08Good lord
00:23:09Has Lord Weidman really ruined a hundred year old young maize?
00:23:14For a wife of such low birth
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me
00:23:24Before this night is over, you will regret it
00:23:26Yes, my lord
00:23:28Edward
00:23:28What?
00:23:29My lord
00:23:30I am your cousin
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this
00:23:34If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter
00:23:37I have over fifty others just like you
00:23:45Greatable girl!
00:23:47What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:51You wretched boy
00:23:53I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money
00:23:56How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife?
00:24:02You have endured enough
00:24:05Home awaits us
00:24:09Edward, you must know
00:24:11I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out
00:24:13I...
00:24:13I know
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is
00:24:16I believe you, Elizabeth
00:24:18We have been married for a few days now
00:24:21We have
00:24:23And I find I know remarkably little about you
00:24:26I believe goes both ways
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that
00:24:30We might begin with a kiss
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me
00:24:37On horseback
00:24:38Out in the open
00:24:39In the middle of the night
00:24:40God knows how long I've waited for this moment
00:24:43You have my permission
00:25:01It's alright
00:25:02He's settled now
00:25:09We're home
00:25:13My lord
00:25:14My lady
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:26What does he mean shortly?
00:25:28Tonight?
00:25:28I thought I had rather expected
00:25:30I seem to have expected it more than I realized
00:25:32Yes
00:25:33Shortly then
00:25:49Of course
00:25:50Of all nights, it would be this one
00:26:01Come in
00:26:05There's something I must tell you
00:26:07It concerns a
00:26:09Domestic matter
00:26:12I see
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:18Please God
00:26:19Let him understand
00:26:21Without making me say it outright
00:26:22Come
00:26:34No
00:26:35Not like this
00:26:38How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better, thank you
00:26:42Forgive me
00:26:43Elizabeth
00:26:44Yes
00:26:45Stop apologizing
00:26:46Yes, very well
00:26:51Elizabeth
00:26:52Elizabeth

00:27:19You're a
00:27:19Elizabeth
00:27:31he's gone
00:27:32of course he's gone
00:27:34I failed him last night
00:27:37come in
00:28:01there's something wrong
00:28:04no
00:28:05no nothing
00:28:10I wasn't certain
00:28:11of your preference this morning
00:28:12Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm
00:28:14as chocolate
00:28:15if you'd prefer it to tea
00:28:39you have
00:28:43his hand is still warm
00:28:49I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park
00:28:52before week's end
00:28:54my mother has expressed a wish
00:28:56to receive you
00:28:58yes
00:28:59I should like it that very much
00:29:05I should propose
00:29:07Fridays perhaps
00:29:08for the fulfilment of our marital obligation
00:29:15yes
00:29:16Friday would suit me perfectly well
00:29:20I feel quite confident
00:29:21I shall be
00:29:23equal to my obligations
00:29:24by next Friday
00:29:30okay
00:29:32I don't know.
00:30:05Go on.
00:30:07Vale will see you in.
00:30:08I shall be long.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:37Free.
00:30:51That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:30:59Lady Adelaine.
00:31:01Forgive the intrusion.
00:31:03I am...
00:31:12Lady Wyndham.
00:31:16I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:19I am Cecilia.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:24She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:32The woman Edward wants life.
00:31:37Your grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:43Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:15So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy.
00:32:18After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:23I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.
00:32:28We call her Georgie.
00:32:28Georgie, this is Elizabeth.
00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:33I read.
00:32:34I write.
00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:38Of course she does.
00:32:39Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:41No offense, Elizabeth.
00:32:42It simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:45Not everyone has it.
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try.
00:32:49It is only fair to offer.
00:32:50Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:55A gun for beginners.
00:32:58You know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:05You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:20You have three.
00:33:22I should not be greedy.
00:33:36Mother.
00:33:37Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:39She found me.
00:33:41I like her.
00:33:44So do I.
00:33:51Come in.
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:34:00She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:03I understand.
00:34:04Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:12So it is.
00:34:14I must admit, I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:18Nor am I.
00:34:24I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:26Twenty-three.
00:34:31I see.
00:34:45I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:51Elizabeth, you are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:04The desk.
00:35:05I thought you might find it easier to begin with.
00:35:10I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:22Breathe.
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:36I...
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:35:47Let's begin.
00:36:27All right.
00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:32I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:34Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:37You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just
00:36:41discovered something rather surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it?
00:36:46Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incroyable.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details.
00:36:53Was he...
00:36:54He was...
00:36:56Considerate.
00:36:58Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:01How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable before anything else.
00:37:08Several times, in fact.
00:37:11Good Lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward?
00:37:15In the morning?
00:37:18He said, come back to bed.
00:37:21As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:23Only meant to return.
00:37:25He held my hand.
00:37:29Lizzie.
00:37:32Don't.
00:37:33You like him.
00:37:36I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:44We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:56Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:01Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:15Lizzie.
00:38:16How can I pass by?
00:38:29Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:33The road found me.
00:38:35I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were.
00:38:40You always were.
00:38:42Edgar Lennox.
00:38:44A Viscuit son.
00:38:45The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:48Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:52Then he left for Italy.
00:38:55Is that...
00:38:56Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:00I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:10I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:16I hope you are well, Lady Wind...
00:39:17I am.
00:39:19Give my regards to Lord Wyndove.
00:39:30Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not.
00:39:36Lord Wyndare is worth ten of him.
00:39:37You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come, the road is clear now.
00:39:49She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that, out in the open road.
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:56That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward.
00:39:58I shall tell him exactly what I saw, and he will...
00:40:01Do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:03You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:17Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:19It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I was riding this morning, along the north road.
00:40:26I saw her, with a man.
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together, and he...
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:31Why, yes, and he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end.
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:40He called her Lizzie.
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox.
00:40:44Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son,
00:40:47and the one who has been off painting in Italy for the past six years.
00:40:50Then you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:52You followed her?
00:40:53No.
00:40:54I just happened to be passing by...
00:40:56Georgiana.
00:40:57No.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windham.
00:41:01She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time.
00:41:07Such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar countrywoman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:18Edgar Lennoxon.
00:41:23My lady, his lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:28Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:31He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely, take you out for a ride.
00:41:35He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:38Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in twenty minutes.
00:41:41Of course, my lady.
00:41:50Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:52I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:04I did.
00:42:05Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:07He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young, and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment.
00:42:15I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:21It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:25He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:31For what?
00:42:32We're married, you need not thank me.
00:42:36Edgar Lennoxon has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:38He may want to consider spending six more.
00:42:41The further he remains from my wife, the better.
00:42:51I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:03He accused me of following her.
00:43:05He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:07And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:11Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:15He leaves for Dutcher on Thursday.
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:34Very well.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:17East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:19It's three stories of curtains, things and correspondence.
00:44:23And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:36Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:44:56Elizabeth!
00:44:59Elizabeth!
00:45:08My lord!
00:45:09It began in the lower story.
00:45:11Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winder.
00:45:14But we brought someone out from the East Wing.
00:45:17A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth!
00:45:21She's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:33Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:35I did not wish to be the one...
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:41I received a note.
00:45:43I believed it to be...
00:45:44You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:49Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:53Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:55Of course she's inside.
00:45:56That wicked adult is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:01Edward!
00:46:04Edward!
00:46:06Edward!
00:46:06Edward!
00:46:06Edward!
00:46:07Miss, don't!
00:46:07It's not safe in there!
00:46:09My brother!
00:46:10Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:12Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:16He ran headfirst into that fire.
00:46:20For her.
00:46:28Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:30Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:32And you!
00:46:33What are you doing here?
00:46:35You're not stuck in the fire?
00:46:36Why on earth would I venture to the East Wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:40You wretched creature.
00:46:41How did you get so lucky?
00:46:43No matter.
00:46:44Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:45You have no one to rely on now.
00:46:47And as a duchess, it shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:50My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:54The what?
00:46:55Why?
00:46:56Elizabeth!
00:46:57Elizabeth!
00:46:58My brother is still in there!
00:47:00What do we do?
00:47:01He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside!
00:47:03Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:04Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:06No!
00:47:10No!
00:47:14She didn't write that note.
00:47:17She can't have written that note.
00:47:24It was you!
00:47:28Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:31No!
00:47:32I had nothing to do with that letter!
00:47:35He's slanting me!
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:42Elizabeth.
00:47:44Go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I was wrong about that.
00:48:25Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband.
00:48:28Why did you do it?
00:48:29You went in there for me.
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:33Whatever am I going to do with you.
00:48:36You.
00:48:37You.
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:58Edward.
00:48:59That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:01I know.
00:49:02As it happens, I also received a note.
00:49:04Signed with Edgar's name.
00:49:06But I did not go to meet him.
00:49:08I'm glad to hear that.
00:49:11That's all?
00:49:14It was Cecilia.
00:49:16She did all of this.
00:49:21She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:24She grew up around us.
00:49:26There was a time when certain arrangements were considered by my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:32I knew they were in favor of me.
00:49:35And were you?
00:49:36I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:38If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:42As for me,
00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:51Edgar Lenniston and I, we grew up together as well.
00:49:55He taught me to make charcoal drawings.
00:49:58That is the whole of it, Edward.
00:49:59There's nothing more.
00:50:00Well then,
00:50:02now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:05Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:09It's Friday today.
00:50:11Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:12There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:15Perhaps you might like to watch the sun rise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:28May I?
00:50:30Yes, you may.
00:50:35May I?
00:50:40This.
00:50:42This is what home methods take me.
00:50:54My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensburg has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:03Show her in, Henry.
00:51:11Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:12Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:16You know very well why I am here.
00:51:18Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:23And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:25I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:30That's correct.
00:51:31Edward, please.
00:51:33We've known each other since we were little.
00:51:35You carried me home on your back when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:39Yes, I recall.
00:51:39I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:45mere earl.
00:51:47Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:49You know my family's circumstances.
00:51:50You know I had no choice.
00:51:52And you, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:55All these years.
00:51:57A Thornfield without a mistress, without a bride to be.
00:52:00Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:03That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:05You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:07And in those eight months, you have come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:11cultivate my sister's trust, and forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed.
00:52:19I wasn't finished, Vasilia.
00:52:21You also set fire to the east wing of my home.
00:52:24You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night.
00:52:27Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:31She's not right for you, Edward.
00:52:33Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:35This afternoon, you will return to your home in London, and you will not come back.
00:52:39No, you can't treat me this way.
00:52:42I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravenshile.
00:52:45Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:49I am also the Prince Regent's companion.
00:52:52Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:55I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sifshi.
00:52:58Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes, I do.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:26She came back for him.
00:53:29And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:31Yes.
00:53:47May I come in?
00:53:49Please.
00:53:50I didn't know Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:52I know.
00:53:53I'm sorry.
00:53:54I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:56Several, in fact.
00:53:57I forgive you.
00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:54:02Of course.
00:54:07Georgiana.
00:54:09I know you love your brother.
00:54:13And I do too.
00:54:22In all the years I've known him,
00:54:25he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:29By the way,
00:54:31you shoot better than I do.
00:54:33You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:44I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the king.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:51The night of the fire,
00:54:53I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:57Without hesitation.
00:54:59That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:55:01May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:03I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:23Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:28The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:31If he is a talented man,
00:55:32it would have been a waste.
00:55:35Edward.
00:55:36Yes?
00:55:41I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:45I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:48Come.
00:55:48Oh, my lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth?
00:56:04Elizabeth?
00:56:06Elizabeth!
00:56:22The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:26However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:36Pardon me?
00:56:37Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:57:02So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:11Yes, we are.
00:57:12This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:18I'm sure you will want to tell your mother.
00:57:24I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday.
00:57:27Vale will accompany you.
00:57:29And take a warm blanket.
00:57:31The mornings are cold now.
00:57:32I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:35But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:56I'm sure you're готов to go to the hospital.
00:57:57Come and entry into the hospital.
00:57:57Meanwhile, you're on our website today.
00:57:57I know you're on my18陣.
00:57:58You're on the phone.
00:57:58I'll do a one for granted, man.
00:57:59I'll do a miracle.ographie,
00:57:59what do a miracle last night? I know you're
00:57:59doing that tomorrow. Come and needn't
00:57:59find the schlimmer. you're on the дней
00:58:04side. You're on the edge.
00:58:09I don't know.
00:58:51Mother!
00:58:58Ah, Elizabeth.
00:59:00To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:05Come with me, Mother.
00:59:07Now.
00:59:10This is my house.
00:59:12She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:17Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:28I'm pregnant.
00:59:31You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:42I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46You'll come chasing after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:09Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:26It's Edward!
01:00:28It's Edward!
01:00:31It's Edward!
01:00:40It's Edward!
01:00:42Be after us!
01:00:43Let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honour.
01:00:53Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:57Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:01:01She's my wife, Lord Wyndham!
01:01:03By law, she's required to-
01:01:04By law, yes.
01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:17Come in.
01:01:24My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my lord. You have no right to-
01:01:32The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:36Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:39To me, the roof you sleep under, the fields you work on, the horses in your stable.
01:01:45The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrowsborough.
01:01:50My lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost-
01:01:55I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:58Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:04If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement, you will lose your house, your
01:02:09land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:18My wife sends her regards.
01:02:31He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:34Oh lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:37No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:42I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:45As did I.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
01:02:50Is he-
01:02:51Is he a good man, your lord?
01:03:02He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:20He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:36How long will you be gone for?
01:03:38Four months, perhaps.
01:03:43I don't wish to go.
01:03:45I know.
01:03:46I know you don't.
01:03:48Elizabeth, I-
01:03:50It's Friday, you know.
01:03:59I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:03Don't be too gentle.
01:04:18Promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:38My lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:45set of piano keys.
01:04:46Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:52Come home soon, Edward. We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:06In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it.
01:05:16I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:18Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:32My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door. Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:57May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:59I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady. The carriage is prepared.
01:06:07Very well. Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage. I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:44That sound. This isn't the road to London, it's the Cliff Road.
01:06:52Stop this carriage! Stop the carriage! Immediately!
01:07:11Elizabeth!
01:07:36Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes? What is it?
01:07:52I think... I think the child is coming.
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by His Royal Highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:40Your first child?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42I have been informed about the incident on the Cliff Road, the carriage, the summons. Who was it?
01:08:46A widow, recently returned from London. She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the East Ring of my home in October.
01:08:53The Dowger, the Dowger Gredness.
01:08:55Yes, Your Highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully. She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:01Thank you, Your Highness.
01:09:03And for this, for allowing us in. Don't thank me for that. Thank my wife.
01:09:08She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:11She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:16That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord, Lady Windery is well. You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why am I there?
01:09:47...
01:09:53...
01:09:54...
01:09:54...
01:09:55...
01:09:56Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:07Jane.
01:10:21How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:28It all started with a marsh.
01:10:30I beg your pardon?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:34Cut across the north field.
01:10:36I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then?
01:10:43There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:46Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself.
01:10:53Gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:55He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes, then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:03And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:15More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The Prince Regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:26Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:28None at all.
01:11:29Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:31But who shall it be?
01:11:32Cavendish?
01:11:33Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:36Apparently, the honour is to be estowed upon a couple.
01:11:40A husband.
01:11:42And wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honour!
01:11:47And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:50Are you nervous?
01:11:52I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:55Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:59Yes.
01:11:59When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:12:03And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness?
01:12:07Well, things are different now.
01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:13Shall we?
01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:25You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd,
01:12:34and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:42to the rank of Marcus and Martians of Thornfield.
01:12:56We'd sort of welcome you,
01:12:58for a long time.
01:12:58Thank you very much,
01:12:58to all of us all together.
01:12:58And we're sure that you've experienced that,
01:12:59Hronicity skares.
01:12:59That the happy journey is ready to be revealed.
01:13:00Now that you want what you think,
01:13:00and you're hoping for us to do,
01:13:00can I answer our options as soon as possible?
01:13:01How can I help and I help them?
01:13:04We Dad go?
