00:00:52i'm so sorry it had to be you who found this don't come looking for me jay
00:00:59do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the earl of wyndick
00:01:02the fenwick family will be ruined completely
00:01:16the fenwicks were once a distinguished family before sir reginald ruined it indeed if not for
00:01:21some old favor the fenwicks once did the late earl it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered
00:01:25at 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
00:01:58so
00:02:05so
00:02:06so
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenric, that's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister, but she's the illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth? Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:57Reginald, please, not here. People will see.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick?
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:06You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation, and 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. Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35I have no authority.
00:03:36Marry me.
00:03:36Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40it is my honor to present to you
00:03:44my bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding
00:04:00I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His Lordship was called away to London
00:04:18on urgent business. You may move to
00:04:20Thornwood later today.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my
00:04:28explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:33Perhaps he never meant
00:04:34to sign them at all.
00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment
00:04:37for taking my sister's place?
00:04:40Oh my goodness.
00:05:11None of us attended, but I've heard every detail.
00:05:15They say the sister ran off, and 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, was 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, the entire church went silent for a full five seconds.
00:05:32Five seconds? When was the last time you managed that?
00:05:35I've never had the pleasure of causing such a spectacle.
00:05:38Poor Earl. Poor? I don't think so.
00:05:41He doesn't do anything out of pity.
00:05:42He has his reasons. A piece of Fenwick land, an old debt, something of that sort.
00:05:47As for the girl, I'd wager she's some wild little country girl.
00:05:50Hard carely fit for society. Likely doesn't even know her manners.
00:05:59Who is that over there?
00:06:01A gardener, or 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? The one picking strawberries. Come here.
00:06:19Are you speaking to me?
00:06:21Of course. Who else could I be speaking to?
00:06:23I'm speaking to me?
00:06:34For some tea, my dear, do stay for a cup of tea before you go.
00:06:46Where you go?
00:06:51Oh how clumsy
00:06:57Lady Winfend, your tea is ready
00:06:59The housekeeper says there are new letters for your attention
00:07:02If you would come with me
00:07:11You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:22My lady
00:07:26That's my girl
00:07:29My lord
00:07:33Tell Lady Winfend that I
00:07:35Wait
00:07:40Give this to Lady Winfend
00:07:45Yes my lord
00:07:54Please excuse me
00:08:01You saw that didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself, deliberate
00:08:04Every bit of it, pretending to be a servant
00:08:06Just to make fools of us
00:08:07Yes, very deliberate
00:08:09Married in riding clothes
00:08:10Picking strawberries herself
00:08:12Hair in that state
00:08:13What?
00:08:14On earth has Edward brought home
00:08:16What indeed
00:08:18I am curious how you intend to finish that sentence, Dorothea
00:08:21Who do you think you are?
00:08:22A country girl who stumbled into a title through 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 announce your arrival
00:08:33If you know your cousin as you say you do
00:08:34You'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 scolding
00:08:42My lady
00:08:42The earl will be arriving shortly
00:08:45He asks that you come out to 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 Dorotha
00:08:54Lord Edward has made it clear that
00:08:57Now 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
00:09:14My apologies, my lady
00:09:15His lordship has been called away again
00:09:17He did, however, leave strict instructions
00:09:20That 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 rekindling an old flame
00:09:34Cecilia Marlott
00:09:36His mother's goddaughter
00:09:37They were raised together at 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?
00:09:55She might come back
00:09:56You'd better secure Lord Edward's affections while you can
00:10:01I have not seen him since our wedding
00:10:02What?
00:10:03How could that possibly be?
00:10:05It was wrong of me to take my sister's place
00:10:07And marry him that day
00:10:08I never thought beyond that
00:10:11Oh, my dear
00:10:12What a cruel twist of fate
00:10:14You were meant to go to London
00:10:16To study
00:10:17And now you're trapped in this cold, dreadful place
00:10:20So his affections were already given elsewhere
00:10:23And I've only trapped him here
00:10:32After all, what is there between Lord Edward and me
00:10:34But a signature in the parish register?
00:10:36A tranquil life
00:10:38That suits me well enough
00:10:41So cold
00:10:48Elizabeth
00:10:49Consider this my return for the insult
00:10:51Enjoy finding your way across Thornwood with nothing on
00:11:09Oh, no
00:11:10Oh, no
00:11:25Who's there?
00:11:30Stop!
00:11:31Stop right there!
00:11:34I'm the Countess of Wyndham
00:11:36I command you to stop
00:11:37You have no idea what it means to offend the Countess of Wyndham
00:11:50My Lord, this is...
00:11:51I can explain
00:11:54Please do not
00:11:58You may...
00:11:59You may turn around now
00:12:07My Lord
00:12:07This is entirely unnecessary
00:12:09I assure you
00:12:10I 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
00:12:51The moment you said I do at that altar
00:12:53You 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
00:13:09I 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
00:13:32Cecilia Marlowe
00:13:34The girl Edward grew up with
00:13:40Milo...
00:13:41Edward
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...
00:14:18Yes
00:14:19I believe I would
00:14:31Elizabeth
00:14:32You are the only Lady Windorf
00:14:34I should like
00:14:36If you're willing
00:14:37To have a true marriage
00:14:39In 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
00:14:53It is late
00:14:55Yes
00:15:06Elizabeth
00:15:07Yes
00:15:10You are frightened
00:15:13I'm not
00:15:14I mean
00:15:14It would be entirely reasonable for you
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
00:15:26It is
00:15:27It 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
00:16:11I'll do it.
00:16:18This isn't helpful.
00:16:49Letta.
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,
00:17:32so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this. What 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 Wyndham.
00:18:09How lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:16Rupert.
00:18:16You know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:23The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Vane.
00:18:28Mr. Bellamy.
00:18:30Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McKeelmas Hall.
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me.
00:18:38Though, I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional.
00:18:45Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:58My lady, a message for you.
00:19:07Cannot 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 Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:26I'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.
00:19:52Lady Wyndham.
00:19:53What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr. Bellamy.
00:19:56I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes.
00:19:59I stepped out for some air.
00:20:00And seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:05Marriage suits you.
00:20:06I believe I should return home.
00:20:07No need to hurry.
00:20:08It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellamy.
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.
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndham.
00:20:53You are going the wrong way.
00:20:55Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy.
00:21:06Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And 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?
00:21:43Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:48Lady Wyndham sought me out.
00:21:49Elizabeth!
00:21:50How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this!
00:21:53That is not-
00:21:54I mean no disrespect.
00:21:55But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:58Good lord!
00:21:59Did 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 he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:12Now, apologize to my fiancé.
00:22:14At once.
00:22:15Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or 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.
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:43We were only trying to-
00:22:44So when did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:46Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward.
00:23:03My apologies.
00:23:05I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:08Good lord!
00:23:10Has Lord Wyndham 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 dishonored my wife hear me.
00:23:24Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:27Yes, my lord!
00:23:28Edward!
00:23:29What?
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,
00:23:38I have over fifty others just like you.
00:23:45Grateful girl!
00:23:47What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:52You 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!
00:24:03You have endured enough.
00:24:05Home awaits us.
00:24:10Edward, you must know.
00:24:11I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out, I-
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.
00:24:31We might begin...
00:24:32With a kiss.
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me.
00:24:37On horseback.
00:24:38Out in the open, in 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?
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:31I seem to have expected it more than I realised.
00:25:33Yes.
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...
00:26:08Domest...
00:26:09Domestic matter.
00:26:11I see.
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:18Please God.
00:26:20Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:23Come.
00:26:34No.
00:26:36Not like this.
00:26:38How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better, thank you.
00:26:43Forgive me.
00:26:44Elizabeth.
00:26:45Yes?
00:26:45Stop apologising.
00:26:47Yes, very well.
00:26:51Yes.
00:27:00If you look...
00:27:05Elizabeth.
00:27:07Yes.
00:27:09Yes.
00:27:14Yes, yes.
00:27:16Yes, yes.
00:27:16Yes.
00:27:17Yes.
00:27:17Yes.
00:27:18Yes.
00:27:18Yes, yes, yes.
00:27:19Elizabeth.
00:27:31He's gone. Of course he's gone.
00:27:34I failed him last night.
00:27:37Come in!
00:28:01Is something wrong?
00:28:04No. No, nothing.
00:28:10I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm as chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:39You have.
00:28:43This hand is still warm.
00:28:49I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:54My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:58Yes.
00:28:59I should like it that very much.
00:29:04I should propose...
00:29:06Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligations.
00:29:15Yes. Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be...
00:29:22equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:25...
00:29:30...
00:29:36...
00:29:38...
00:29:38...
00:29:39...
00:30:05Go on.
00:30:07If Vael will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:11Of course.
00:30:24Three.
00:30:52That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:30:59Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:13Lady Wyndon, I 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 to earth.
00:31:37Your grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:42Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaine 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.
00:32:10She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:15So, you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy.
00:32:19After 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.
00:33:17Well.
00:33:20You had three.
00:33:22I shall 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.
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agreeable.
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.
00:34:46I confess, I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:51Elizabeth.
00:34:54You 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?
00:35:35Aye.
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:43Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:35:48Let's begin.
00:35:50Let's begin.
00:35:58Let's begin.
00:36:28All right.
00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I'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
00:36:40of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:43surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it?
00:36:46Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend, and I deserve details.
00:36:53Was he?
00:36:54He was considerate.
00:36:58Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
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, as though I'd been there all along, only meant to return.
00:37:26He held my hand.
00:37:29Lizzie.
00:37:32Don't.
00:37:33You like him.
00:37:36I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:40I am.
00:37:41I am.
00:37:41I am.
00:37:53I am.
00:38:02I am.
00:38:15I am.
00:38:18I am.
00:38:21I am.
00:38:23I am.
00:38:25I am.
00:38:25I am.
00:38:26I am.
00:38:55I am.
00:38:57I am.
00:39:03I am.
00:39:07I am.
00:39:09I am.
00:39:11I am.
00:39:15I am.
00:39:17I am.
00:39:18I am.
00:39:21I am.
00:39:31years without a word and now he returns at just this moment he didn't know Harriet perhaps not

00:40:29awfully close together and he close together you say why yes and he he took hold of her sleeve

00:40:41what was the man's name Lennox Edgar Lennox I've heard of this Edgar Lennox the Viscount's son the
00:40:48one who has been off painting in Italy for the past six years and you must also know that he

00:42:04I did our carriage came to grief in the mud he assisted with freeing the wheel
00:42:12Georgiana is young and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment I thought you should
00:42:16know that I sent her right away he 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 he's telling me he stands on my side

00:44:21and correspondence and everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:26And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:36Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on her charred bodies, he will surely return to you.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:45:08My lord! It began in the lower story.
00:45:11Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winder, but we brought someone out from the East Wing.
00:45:17A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth, she's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Windom is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:33Edward, I'm so sorry. I 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. I 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. That wicked adult is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:01Edward!
00:46:06Miss Doach! It's not safe in there!
00:46:09My brother! Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:12Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17He 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. Edward 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? Why?
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!
00:47:14She 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, I had nothing to do with that letter.
00:47:35He's slanting me!
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:43Elizabeth, go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:12You're safe.
00:48:13You'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.
00:48:34Whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:36You.
00:48:38You.
00:48:38You.
00:48:38You.
00:48:39You.
00:48:40You.
00:48:41You.
00:48:44You.
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:58That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:01I know.
00:49:02As it happens, I also received a note, signed 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.
00:49:19Cecilia.
00:49:22She 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.
00:49:39If 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 sunrise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:28May I?
00:50:30Yes, you may.
00:50:40This.
00:50:42This is what home feels like.
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. We'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.
00:51:40I 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. You 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. You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months you've 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.
00:52:30She'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.
00:52:38And you will not come back.
00:52:40No.
00:52:40You can't treat me this way.
00:52:42I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravensheil.
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, Sushi.
00:52:58Do you love her?
00:52:59Yes.
00:53:01I 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.
00:53:47May I come in?
00:53:49Please.
00:53:49I 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.
00:54:11I know you love your brother.
00:54:13And I do too.
00:54:22In all the years I've known him, he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:29I know.
00:54:29By the way, you shoot better than I do.
00:54:33You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:43I'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, I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:56Without hesitation.
00:54:59That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:55:01May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04I 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.
00:55:31He is a talented man.
00:55:33It would have been a waste.
00:55:34Edward.
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.
00:55:47Come.
00:55:49My lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:04Elizabeth.
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:22The fall did her no lasting harm, my lord.
00:56:26However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of...
00:56:35Pardon me?
00:56:37Congratulations, my lord.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:42Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:56:50Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:56:55Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:57:11Yes, we are.
00:57:12Yes, we are.
00:57:13This 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.
00:57:36But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:38Theiac.
00:57:50The End
00:57:51The End
00:57:51Let's go.
00:58:27Let's go.
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?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:31You're pregnant.
00:59:33Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:39Mother.
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.
00:59:54I want to take you to Thornwood.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:15Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:25It's Edward!
01:00:40It's Edward!
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honor.
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.
01:01:07Shall 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.
01:01:32You 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,
01:02:08you will lose your house, your land, 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.
01:02:40Edward 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.
01:03:13He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:16Now let me tell you
01:03:37How 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.
01:04:07I don't.
01:04:09I don't.
01:04:18I promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:38My lord.
01:04:40It is the 14th of March
01:04:42and your child has spent this morning
01:04:44using my ribs as a set of piano keys.
01:04:47Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy
01:04:49and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:51Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:54We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:06In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth.
01:05:12Your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child
01:05:24and 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.
01:05:33There are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons
01:05:48from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London
01:05:53and 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.
01:06:02The carriage is prepared.
01:06:06Very well.
01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather my pains.
01:06:21My lady.
01:06:22The seal on this carriage.
01:06:24I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger
01:06:31the Prince Regent.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the road to London.
01:06:47It's the cliff road.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:06:56Immediately!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:12Elizabeth!
01:07:37Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think...
01:07:52I 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.
01:08:46Who was it?
01:08:46A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:49She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Grednas?
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:59She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:01Thank you, your highness.
01:09:03And for this, for allowing us in...
01:09:06Don't thank me for that.
01:09:07Thank 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.
01:09:28You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why am I there?
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 on 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?
01:11:13Are you?
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 a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:41A husband.
01:11:42And wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:45A 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...
01:12:24You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:38I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martians of Thornfield.
01:12:47Multipleorency Senator Young.
01:12:47Are you going to bring here fresh?
01:13:01Which was a mixture of your responsibilities?
01:13:01What do you consider being heavenly relationships in the registrations of two men though?
01:13:03Wasn't the only one
