00:00:28THE END
00:00:29I think he was fully engaged to you and the letters were the only proof he had.
00:00:34I think he loves you in his way and do you think he'll return them now?
00:00:39I don't know.
00:00:46I was so happy when I first came here.
00:00:50There, just as I expected.
00:00:53Your uncle Kirkpatrick would like you to go and stay with him again.
00:00:56Cheer up, poor Helen. And can you go directly?
00:00:59I should love to go.
00:01:00And you'll be ready to go by the bang-up tonight.
00:01:02I'm summoned to London myself to attend Lady Cumnor.
00:01:06She's worse, I'm afraid.
00:01:07Oh, poor Lady Cumnor. What a shock.
00:01:12Thank goodness I've had my breakfast.
00:01:13I wouldn't have been able to eat a thing.
00:01:15What about your gowns, Cynthia?
00:01:17Oh, they're all right, Noah.
00:01:19I should be quite ready by four o'clock.
00:01:30I hope you do think I was glad to leave you.
00:01:33It's just such a relief to get away from that man for a little while.
00:01:38What did Roger say in his letter?
00:01:40Is he well? Has he quite got over his fever?
00:01:42Yes, quite.
00:01:43Yes, he writes in very good spirits.
00:01:45A great deal about birds and beasts and the habits of natives.
00:01:50I think most of it was meant for you, Molly.
00:01:53Yes, I don't care for spiders and things.
00:01:56Here. I'll trust you with it.
00:01:59Um, don't read between here and here.
00:02:05That's the silly part.
00:02:08Oh, and would you write back for me, for I shan't have time.
00:02:10And shall I say you're right as soon as you get to London?
00:02:13Yes, of course. Not as soon as I've settled in.
00:02:16Oh, anyway, Modely, I know you'll write him a much better letter than I could.
00:02:20Cynthia, he wants to hear from you.
00:02:22Does he?
00:02:24Yes. I suppose he does.
00:02:29This packet came by hand, Miss Kirkpatrick.
00:02:31Oh, thank you, Mariah.
00:02:53Molly, it's the letters.
00:02:56Molly, you've saved my skin.
00:03:02There he goes.
00:03:11he's better than i believed him to be
00:03:24now there's just one more thing to be done and if you would be my angel and do it for
00:03:29me oh
00:03:29cynthia don't ask me i can't do any money it's just a very tiny little thing just to return him
00:03:36his
00:03:36money there's 23 pounds that's for five percent added in so he can't complain about anything
00:03:42it's all wrapped up ready look i do so hate having these underhand dealings with him
00:03:48underhand why you you might meet him by chance in a shop or in a street or at a party
00:03:54and if you
00:03:54hide it in your pocket nothing could be easier molly i could go off with such a light heart
00:04:00if only i knew you could get it safely to him
00:04:07now goodbye molly be a good girl look after your mama thank you john

00:09:35good day
00:09:43this is for you
00:09:51good afternoon
00:10:02well no one can say as i didn't please my husbands
00:10:05both of them
00:10:07though jeremy was tickler in his taste and poor harry beaver
00:10:12oh
00:10:12oh
00:10:13sorry i can't help you have no more hearts
00:10:16oh never mind miss phoebe
00:10:19and talking of marriage
00:10:21i could tell you of a girl we're all fond of
00:10:25who was on the high road to matrimony
00:10:27going at dusk to meet her sweetheart just as if she was a scholarly man
00:10:31i suppose you mean miss gibson and mr breston
00:10:34well now who told you that you can't say as i did
00:10:37oh no indeed but my uncle sheepshanks came upon them at dawn in the park avenue
00:10:43oh
00:10:44oh wow
00:10:46now there's no harm in saying that i saw her pass him a note in grinstead's bookshop
00:10:52oh he looked at me black as thunder as if to say you dare tell my secrets abroad
00:10:59i'm not afraid of him
00:11:00it looks very bad for miss gibson
00:11:03not if the bands are read soon
00:11:04and all's done right and proper
00:11:07some folk like to do their courting clandestine like
00:11:11though i'm surprised at it in molly gibson
00:11:14i would have thought it was more like that pretty piece cynthia do they call her to go about it
00:11:18that way
00:11:19but i wouldn't want to do mr gibson's girl a bad turn
00:11:24so i think we'd better keep it a secret
00:11:26till we see how it turns out
00:11:28oh yes indeed mrs goodenough
00:11:30i'm sure she's a good girl really

00:13:14oh
00:13:15oh
00:13:16oh
00:13:17She's done nothing to disgrace herself, I'm sure of it.
00:13:26Shh.
00:13:27Shut the door.
00:13:32Come here.
00:13:34What is it?
00:13:35Is it Osborne?
00:13:37Have you been keeping up a secret relationship with Mr Preston?
00:13:41Meeting him in out-of-the-way places?
00:13:45Exchanging letters?
00:13:47Answer me!
00:13:48Ow!
00:13:50Look!
00:13:51Never mind that, answer my question.
00:13:52Have you met that man in private?
00:13:54Yes, I have, but I don't think it was wrong.
00:13:56Not wrong?
00:13:58Well, I must bear it somehow.
00:14:00It's true then, is it?
00:14:01Father, I can't tell you everything.
00:14:03It's not my secret, or I tell you straight away.
00:14:05You must trust me.
00:14:07I've never deceived you, have I?
00:14:09How can I tell? The whole town is talking of you!
00:14:11What business is it of theirs?
00:14:12Everyone makes it their business to cast dirt
00:14:14when a girl neglects the commonest rules of modesty.
00:14:17But I haven't!
00:14:18How can you believe that?
00:14:21I will tell you exactly what I have done.
00:14:24I met Mr Preston once with another person.
00:14:27I met him a second time,
00:14:29and that was by appointment in the Towers Park,
00:14:31and that is all.
00:14:33And the letters?
00:14:35I gave him one letter,
00:14:37which I didn't write when I saw him in Grinstead's bookshop,
00:14:39and that is all, truly.
00:14:42There was never anything between me and him,
00:14:44and I need never speak to him again.
00:14:48Very well.
00:14:51I believe you.
00:14:54You imply that you were acting for another,
00:14:56and, of course, I guess it was Cynthia.
00:15:01You must tell me everything in full.
00:15:04These rumours must be refuted point by point.
00:15:07No.
00:15:08You mustn't.
00:15:10I have told you all I can,
00:15:11and it's all over and done with now.
00:15:13But you're sharing it, Molly.
00:15:15You don't know how slight a thing
00:15:17can blacken a girl's reputation for life.
00:15:20Am I to do nothing to contradict these slanders?
00:15:22Am I to go around smiling and content
00:15:24while people spread lies about me and mine?
00:15:27I'm afraid you must, Papa.
00:15:30And it will die away after a time
00:15:32when nothing comes of it.
00:15:34And please,
00:15:36don't accuse Cynthia.
00:15:37You'll drive her away.
00:15:41Oh, Molly.
00:15:44Molly, how shall you bear it?
00:15:48I don't know.
00:15:50It's like, er,
00:15:53tooth drawing, I suppose.
00:15:56It'll be over sometime.
00:16:00Oh, Papa, you're not angry with me now, are you?
00:16:04Oh, I won't get out of my way.
00:16:06If I'm not angry with you, I ought to be.
00:16:09You've caused a very great deal of worry,
00:16:11which won't be over yet,
00:16:12the while I can tell you.
00:16:17Get away with you.
00:16:18You'll see if I'm not right.
00:16:26I am surprised to see Molly Gibson here tonight.
00:16:30Yes, indeed.
00:16:31They just make it so awkward for everyone else.
00:16:53How much is twice 18?
00:16:5530?
00:16:5736.
00:16:59Ah.
00:17:03So,
00:17:06Molly Gibson is to marry Mr. Preston.
00:17:09Is she indeed?
00:17:11Are you sure you've got it right, Papa?
00:17:14Well, you know.
00:17:16They've been caught meeting in the park
00:17:17and corresponding.
00:17:20All sorts of things that are likely to end in marriage.
00:17:22Molly Gibson?
00:17:23Mm-hmm.
00:17:24I don't believe it.
00:17:25I wonder what Claire could be doing
00:17:27to allow such goings-on.
00:17:29I think it's more likely that Claire's own daughter
00:17:31is the real heroine of this story.
00:17:33Really, how is it?
00:17:34I cannot understand what makes you take such an interest
00:17:36in these petty Hollingford affairs.
00:17:39Oh, Mama, it's only tit for tat.
00:17:41They take the keenest interest in ours.
00:17:43And I like Molly Gibson.
00:17:45And I do not like Mr. Preston,
00:17:47and I should be very glad indeed
00:17:48to find there's no truth in it.
00:17:51I'm sorry I said anything about it now.
00:17:54I'll try and find a more agreeable piece of news.
00:17:58Old Marjorie at the lodge is dead.
00:18:13Good day, my lord.
00:18:14I wanted to ask you about that pasture land, Preston.
00:18:18If I might suggest, my lord.
00:18:20Will you do that, father?
00:18:20There's something I should like to ask Mr. Preston about.
00:18:23Of course, Lady Harriet.
00:18:24I shall be happy to oblige you.
00:18:26Mr. Preston, we have heard reports
00:18:28about Miss Gibson and you.
00:18:29Are we to congratulate you on an engagement?
00:18:32No.
00:18:33No.
00:18:35I am not so fortunate.
00:18:36Then, sir, are you aware
00:18:38of the injury you may do to a young lady's reputation
00:18:40if you meet her and detain her in conversation
00:18:43when she's unaccompanied?
00:18:44You give rise.
00:18:45You have given rise to scandal, sir.
00:18:48I say, steady on, Harriet.
00:18:50Did the man explain himself?
00:18:52My lord.
00:18:54Lady Harriet forces me to acknowledge
00:18:57it's not pleasant to own it
00:18:58that I am a jilted man,
00:19:01jilted by Miss Kirkpatrick
00:19:02after a long engagement.
00:19:05Miss Gibson was, I believe, the instigator.
00:19:07She was certainly the agent
00:19:08of this last step of Miss Kirkpatrick's.
00:19:11Oh, that satisfies your ladyship's curiosity.
00:19:14Harriet, my dear, we have no right
00:19:16to pry into Mr. Preston's private affairs.
00:19:19Indeed, we have not.
00:19:20But he will understand
00:19:21that I was anxious for my friend, Miss Gibson.
00:19:25Thank you, Mr. Preston.
00:19:27You have set my mind at rest.
00:19:29I am truly obliged to you.
00:19:31Thank you, my lady.
00:19:45Now, let's see what we can do.
00:19:55Oh, Lady Harriet.
00:19:57What a pleasant surprise.
00:20:00Mother would like you to pay her a visit tomorrow.
00:20:02And if money can be spared.
00:20:05Miss Gibson, if you have nothing better to do,
00:20:07would you be good enough
00:20:08to walk into town with me?
00:20:09Bye, Lady.
00:20:11Lady Harriet.
00:20:12Good afternoon.
00:20:13Good afternoon.
00:20:14Not so chilly today, I think.
00:20:16It is a support.
00:20:17One would be in the place.
00:20:19Now, Miss Gibson,
00:20:21I need your advice
00:20:22on a little present for my brother.
00:20:24Edward is so difficult to buy for.
00:20:26I'm sure you can help me.
00:20:28He so admired you at the Hollingford Ball.
00:20:30Said you were quite the best red young woman.
00:20:36My compliments to Miss Browning's on their return.
00:20:38I don't need to leave cards, Lady Harriet.
00:20:41Never mind.
00:20:42Today, she'll do everything properly.
00:20:45I'll finish up.
00:20:45I've seen it last time.
00:20:47Now, Miss Gibson,
00:20:47you must come out to the Towers for a long day.
00:20:50Papa will send the carriage for you whenever you wish.
00:20:53Lady Harriet herself.
00:20:59Well, that was a good day's work, I think.
00:21:06Good work, I'll tell you.
00:21:14Cynthia, you're home.
00:21:17Did you?
00:21:18Yes.
00:21:20It's done.
00:21:27Look.
00:21:29Oh, they're lovely.
00:21:30I think you should know
00:21:31we're not best pleased with Cynthia just now.
00:21:34Why?
00:21:35What's the matter?
00:21:36Oh, Mr. Henderson offered to me while I was in London
00:21:39and, well, I refused him.
00:21:41Such a fine young man and such a gentleman.
00:21:44Now, Mark, do you forget
00:21:45I promised to marry Roger Hamley?
00:21:46Yes, but he must have known
00:21:47that you might change your mind.
00:21:49Yes, well, I haven't changed my mind.
00:21:52I'm going to marry Roger and there's an end to it.
00:21:54I shan't be spoken to about it anymore.
00:21:57Oh, marry Roger, yes, that's all very fine.
00:21:59But who's going to guarantee
00:22:00he is coming back alive?
00:22:03And what are they going to marry on?
00:22:05That's what I'd like to know.
00:22:07Mr. Henderson is a very suitable match for Cynthia
00:22:10and that is what I will say to Lady Cummler tomorrow.
00:22:13I don't think you should mention it to Lady Cummler, Mama.
00:22:18Molly, I know you mean it kindly, dear,
00:22:21but don't let one walk into town
00:22:22with Lady Harriet go to your head.
00:22:24I think I'm quite capable of deciding
00:22:26what I should or shouldn't say to Lady Cummler.
00:22:33Now, Claire, when I think a thing, I say it out.
00:22:36I don't beat about the bush.
00:22:38You have spoiled that girl of yours
00:22:40until she does not know her own mind.
00:22:43She has behaved abominably to Mr. Preston
00:22:46and it is all in consequence
00:22:48of the faults in her education.
00:22:49You have much to answer for.
00:22:52Cynthia.
00:22:55And Mr. Preston.
00:22:56What?
00:22:57Claire.
00:23:00Do you mean to say that
00:23:01you are not aware
00:23:03that your daughter has been engaged
00:23:05to Mr. Preston for some time?
00:23:08years, I believe.
00:23:09Oh, Mr. Preston did not want it spoken of.
00:23:11And has at last chosen to break it off
00:23:13to be a jilting Jessie, as we used to say.
00:23:17She has used the Gibson girl as a cat's paw
00:23:19and made her and herself
00:23:22the butt of all the gossip in Hollingford.
00:23:26Oh, Cynthia.
00:23:27I little thought when you were born
00:23:29how I would have to bear to hear you spoken about.
00:23:31What's the matter?
00:23:32What's the matter?
00:23:32You are the matter.
00:23:34I have just had to hear from Lady Cumnor of all people
00:23:38that you have gone and engaged yourself to Mr. Preston
00:23:43and now refuse to marry him
00:23:44and they call this jilting
00:23:46and they tell me that you are the talk of all Hollingford.
00:23:50But do you wish me to marry Mr. Preston?
00:23:53No.
00:23:53Oh, no, of course I don't.
00:23:56But you have gone and entangled yourself with Roger Hamley
00:23:58a very worthy young man, I dare say.
00:24:01Entangled yourself with him
00:24:02and the same sort of thing with Mr. Preston
00:24:04and got yourself into an imbroglio
00:24:07and now I am being blamed for your misconduct
00:24:10and I find it very hard.
00:24:22Is this true, Cynthia?
00:24:24Molly knows it all.
00:24:25Yes, I know that
00:24:26and that she has had to bear gossip and slander for your sake
00:24:29but she refused to tell me more.
00:24:31Oh, but she told you that much, did she?
00:24:33I couldn't help it.
00:24:34Why did you have to speak for the talk?
00:24:35Because her reputation was attacked for your misconduct
00:24:38and I demanded an explanation.
00:24:40There's no need to be ungenerous, Cynthia
00:24:41because you've been a flirt
00:24:43and a jilt.
00:24:44You say that of me, Mr. Gibson,
00:24:46not knowing what the circumstances are.
00:24:48You say that.
00:24:49But part of you knew everything.
00:24:50You wouldn't speak so to Cynthia.
00:24:51I wish you could hear all she has told me.
00:24:54I am ready, ready to hear whatever she has to say.
00:24:56No.
00:24:57No, you have prejudged me.
00:24:59You've spoken to me as if you had no right to speak.
00:25:01I refuse to give you my confidence or accept your help.
00:25:06People are very cruel to me.
00:25:08I didn't think you would have been, but I can bear it.
00:25:11I'm here.
00:25:13Oh, Papa!
00:25:15I think you have been, Mr. Gibson,
00:25:17very, very unkind to my poor fatherless daughter.
00:25:21And I only wish that her own daughter was alive
00:25:24and that none of this would have happened.
00:25:26Aye, very poor.
00:25:28I don't see what I do if you have to complain about her asset.
00:25:31I have sheltered Cynthia.
00:25:32I have loved her almost as if she were my own.
00:25:34Oh, Molly, just go away.
00:25:35Just go away.
00:25:36Leave me alone.
00:25:37You don't treat her as though she's your own child.
00:25:41No!
00:26:10I wish you both to know
00:26:11that I've written to Roger to break off our engagement.
00:26:17Oh, Cynthia, it'll break his heart.
00:26:20No, I don't think it will.
00:26:23But, uh, even if it did, I couldn't help it.
00:26:30I don't think we could have made each other very happy.
00:26:42I'm going to tell your father now.
00:26:52I wanted you to know the truth because, well, otherwise you might think worse of me than I really deserve.
00:26:57And I couldn't bear that.
00:27:00And I couldn't bear Roger to know about me and Mr Preston and have to beg for his forgiveness.
00:27:05Calm.
00:27:07You've acted foolishly at first and perhaps wrongly afterwards.
00:27:12You don't want your husband to find you faultless, do you?
00:27:14Oh, yes.
00:27:15Yes, I do.
00:27:16I won't stand before him like a child to be admonished and forgiven.
00:27:22But here you are in just such a position before me.
00:27:25Oh, yes.
00:27:26Well, I love you much more than I love Roger.
00:27:29I've often told Molly so.
00:27:36I have determined that I must go away and leave Hollingford forever.
00:27:42To be a governess.
00:27:45And Russia, it comes to that.
00:27:49I can't bear knowing that everybody is talking about me and judging me.
00:27:54Because they will.
00:27:55I mean, even you and Molly.
00:27:58You see, Mr Gibson, I will always want admiration and worship.
00:28:06And men's good opinion.
00:28:08Are you saying that you don't love Roger?
00:28:13No, I don't.
00:28:16Well, not as I should.
00:28:19Well, then I believe it is right that you break it off.
00:28:23That poor lad.
00:28:34It's all done.
00:28:38I, uh...
00:28:39I told him everything.
00:28:49Was it very bad?
00:28:52Not in the end.
00:28:54I think he understood.
00:29:01Oh, dear.
00:29:02Do you think life is very dreary?
00:29:20Roger will marry you, Molly.
00:29:23I mean, you'd suit him much better than I would.
00:29:25Cynthia, don't.
00:29:26Do you want your husband this morning or mine tonight?
00:29:28What do you take him for?
00:29:31A man?
00:29:33You won't let me call him...
00:29:36...changeable.
00:29:38I'll call him...
00:29:40...consolable.
00:29:41No.
00:29:42No.
00:29:43No.
00:29:48Good morning, Mr. Ashburns, eh?
00:29:58Good morning, Mr Ashburns.
00:30:10Oh, my God.
00:30:43Is the master here?
00:30:45No, he went out early.
00:30:47Oh, dear.
00:30:48This man come from Hamley Hall and he says Mr Osborne is dead.
00:30:57Doctor's gone out.
00:31:00He's dead.
00:31:03Agnes!
00:31:04Do you know where Papyrus?
00:31:05No, what's the matter, dear?
00:31:06Agnes! Agnes!
00:31:08Don't shout, dear. Ring the bell.
00:31:09What is the matter, dear?
00:31:11Osborne Hamley is dead.
00:31:13Oh, dear.
00:31:15Poor young man.
00:31:17But why the fuss to fetch your father?
00:31:19It's not as if he can do anything if Osborne's dead.
00:31:21I'm going there now.
00:31:22I'll put the side saddle on Nora.
00:31:25I can't bear to think of the squire there alone.
00:31:27Molly, Molly, what are you about?
00:31:28The squire won't want you there, dear.
00:31:31What are you about?
00:32:00Yes, Sherry! Yes!
00:32:52Yes, Sherry!
00:33:04Won't you eat a little?
00:33:09He...
00:33:10will...
00:33:11never...
00:33:13eat again!
00:33:42He's gone to bed.
00:33:44He asked if I let you stay.
00:33:46I really think I should get you home. You're done in.
00:33:48I wish to stay.
00:33:50Do you?
00:33:52How will you manage?
00:33:54I can manage, Papa.
00:33:58You're a good girl.
00:34:02I'll be back tomorrow.
00:34:04Sleep now.
00:34:39Oh, I beg your pardon, I didn't see you there. I broke your sleep.
00:34:43No, no, it doesn't matter.
00:34:47Shall I ring for Robinson?
00:34:50You should take some breakfast.
00:34:52I'm brought very low, Molly.
00:34:54That's what it's God's doing, but...
00:34:56it comes down very hard upon me.
00:35:00He was my firstborn child, you know.
00:35:04I do try to say God's will be done, but it's harder to be resigned than...
00:35:10happy people think.
00:35:13But of late years, we weren't...
00:35:15we weren't such good friends as we would wish to be, and...
00:35:20I wasn't sure...
00:35:23I wasn't sure he knew that...
00:35:26how much I...
00:35:27I loved him.
00:35:40There's something I know that I think I must tell you.
00:35:44Osborne had a wife.
00:35:48A wife?
00:35:52Osborne married?
00:35:54Well, tell me more, tell me everything.
00:35:57He said his wife was a good woman, and he loved her...
00:35:59very dearly, but she was French...
00:36:02and a Roman Catholic.
00:36:04And she'd been a servant once.
00:36:07And he gave me her address...
00:36:09in case.
00:36:11He never told me.
00:36:14Well, well.
00:36:15Well, let's pass now.
00:36:17Hold him gone.
00:36:19We're not blaming him.
00:36:21But I wish he had...
00:36:22he and I to live together, one of us...
00:36:25holding such a secret.
00:36:27There is something else you should know.
00:36:31There's a child.
00:36:32A child.
00:36:33A child.
00:36:35Husband and father.
00:36:37a child.
00:36:38And I didn't know.
00:36:41God bless it.
00:36:42God bless Osborne's child.
00:36:45He had a wife, Gibson.
00:36:48He had a wife, Gibson.
00:36:48Osborne had a wife and child.
00:36:51And he never told me.
00:36:59You're becoming a very surprising young woman.
00:37:02Knowing so much and telling so little all this time.
00:37:05I never wanted to have secrets from you.
00:37:07No, I know that, Goosey.
00:37:10Someone must write to the wife.
00:37:14You shouldn't say that he's dead.
00:37:16Just that he's very ill.
00:37:17He'll never get used to the idea gradually.
00:37:18I'll do it.
00:37:19He confided in me.
00:37:22Did the squire say anything about Roger and Cynthia?
00:37:25No.
00:37:26He doesn't know yet.
00:37:27I saw a letter unopened in the hall.
00:37:29I dare say he'll bear that a good deal better than Roger will.
00:37:34He'll get the news about Osborne and Cynthia's letter at the same time.
00:37:44To think of it all being so sudden at last and so provoking.
00:37:50Just as Cynthia had given up, Roger.
00:37:53If only you'd waited one day, dear.
00:37:55I'm not sure whether I know what you mean, Mama.
00:37:58Why, that Roger is there now, of course.
00:38:00Oh, Mama, please.
00:38:01Well, you know that I hate to think of these things in a mercenary spirit,
00:38:04but it is so provocative.
00:38:06I mean, to see you throwing over two good matches,
00:38:09first Mr Henderson and now Roger Hamlet.
00:38:11But you are not in full possession of the facts, my love.
00:38:14It would appear that Osborne was secretly married
00:38:18and had fathered the child.
00:38:22Boy or girl?
00:38:23That's not yet known.
00:38:24But Osborne married, but he was so young and boyish.
00:38:28Oh, what a deceit.
00:38:30Why, he might have broken your heart, or Mollis.
00:38:33No, I'm sorry, I can't forgive him, even though he is dead.
00:38:37Poor fellow.
00:38:37I think it's possible that his marriage was not contracted
00:38:42with the express intention of deceiving either you or the girls, my dear.
00:38:50But if there is a son, then he'll be the heir.
00:38:54So Roger will be just as poorly off as ever.
00:38:56So after all, maybe it's just as well you did right to break it off, darling.
00:39:00So you can hardly take any credit for it.
00:39:07And it's all true.
00:39:09I was born Emily to Marie, Amy, Cherair.
00:39:13Parish Church and Wittenston.
00:39:17Oh, dear.
00:39:18He was afraid of me.
00:39:21Afraid?
00:39:23Made him keep it all to himself.
00:39:25And care killed him.
00:39:28Oh, my lad, my lad.
00:39:30I know better now, but it's...
00:39:33It's all too late. It's too late.
00:39:36Look.
00:39:38It's the baby's birth certificate.
00:39:41Roger Stephen Osborne Hamley.
00:39:43Oh, your boy. Yes, that's it.
00:39:46My little grandson. I never knew about it.
00:39:49Roger.
00:39:50No, he should be called Osborne.
00:39:53Was Roger already in the house with us, too, for that matter,
00:39:56but one's a good-for-nothing old man.
00:39:59And we'll call him Osborne and we'll...
00:40:01We'll tuck him here, Molly, and we'll get a nurse for him
00:40:04and we'll make sure his mother's comfortable in her own country.
00:40:07And this little lad shall never hear a crossword.
00:40:14Osborne, Osborne.
00:40:16Do you know now how much I loved you, my boy?
00:40:20Squire Hamley,
00:40:22do you not think that Osborne's widow would be very reluctant
00:40:25to part with her little boy?
00:40:26I never would.
00:40:29However poor I was.
00:40:30Well, that's you, you see. She's a foreigner.
00:40:33She's better off with her own folk in her own country.
00:40:35Lawyers will arrange it all.
00:40:38I'll get someone to collect the lad and bring it back in.
00:40:42I don't want to see the girl.
00:40:58And he looks at your picture every day.
00:41:04And he says in English, Papa, come.
00:41:09And I hope, too, that Papa will come as soon as he can
00:41:14to see his loving Aimée.
00:41:19And that's where he was going.
00:41:22And I never thought it.
00:41:27Who's that now?
00:41:28Oh.
00:41:38Please, can I see Mr. Osborne Hamley?
00:41:40He is ill, I know, but...
00:41:42I am his wife.
00:41:47I...
00:41:49I am...
00:41:52Hmm.
00:41:53Wait there a moment, Miss.
00:42:04What is it?
00:42:05What is it?
00:42:06Don't keep it from me.
00:42:07I can bear it.
00:42:09Is it Roger?
00:42:15You are Molly.
00:42:17You write me the letter.
00:42:19Can I see him?
00:42:21Well, is he very ill?
00:42:29Oh.
00:42:31There, lad.
00:42:33I've got you.
00:42:35Well, let's see for people.
00:42:59She's not like a French woman, is she, Molly?
00:43:02I don't know.
00:43:04I don't know what French women are like.
00:43:06Poor thing.
00:43:08Looks like a gentlewoman.
00:43:11All but her hands.
00:43:14How do you think she is, Molly?
00:43:16I don't know.
00:43:18I fear it's broken her heart.
00:43:20Nay, nay.
00:43:21It's not that easy to break it.
00:43:22Sometimes I wish it were.
00:43:25Now, we have to go on living.
00:43:27All the appointed days.
00:43:29As it says in the Bible.
00:43:46He, he, he.
00:43:49He's a jolly little chap.
00:43:51He's a proper ram.
00:43:53He is.
00:43:54Now, shall we show the doctor?
00:43:57Eh?
00:43:58We show the doctor how you smoke your granddad's pie.
00:44:03I hope very much that he will not.
00:44:06Well, little Pope won't do him any harm.
00:44:08Now, where's the nurse?
00:44:09Now, you can go with your nurse.
00:44:11And we'll have some rare fun when this gentleman's gone home, eh?
00:44:16There's me, chap.
00:44:17Bye-bye.
00:44:20Bye-bye.
00:44:20Bye-bye.
00:44:22Robinson, pour Gibson some more wine.
00:44:26Yeah, Robinson has to keep out of the way.
00:44:28But little chap's taken a strong dislike through his big red nose.
00:44:34Yeah, yeah.
00:44:36So how do you find her, Gibson?
00:44:38Getting stronger every day, I reckon.
00:44:41She'll be able to leave here soon, eh?
00:44:43To go where?
00:44:44Well, back to her old people.
00:44:46What Molly tells me, she has no family or friends alive.
00:44:49Yeah, I dare say something will be arranged.
00:44:51I think, Squire, if you want the child, you'll have to take the mother, too.
00:44:55I'll wait and see what Roger says when he comes.
00:44:57Yes, Roger. He'll know what to do, I dare say.
00:44:59Meanwhile, I need my own child at home.
00:45:01Oh, what's the matter?
00:45:02No, nothing's the matter. I just want her at home, that's all.
00:45:05Under my own eye.
00:45:06She's been overtaxing her strength here, I think.
00:45:08She needs a bit of cosseting herself.
00:45:11Aye, I think on her like a child of mine, not a stranger.
00:45:15I dare say I've come out upon her.
00:45:17I'll let her go home.
00:45:19My Roger will be home soon.
00:45:24Now, where's that little chap of mine?
00:45:27I'm coming to get you.
00:45:28Where is he?
00:45:30I'm coming to get you. Where is he?
00:46:03What lovely flowers.
00:46:05Yes, aren't they?
00:46:06They came from the hall this morning.
00:46:09From the hall?
00:46:10Yes, Roger is home.
00:46:15Roger is home.
00:46:21Have you seen him?
00:46:22Yes, late last evening when I called in.
00:46:25How does he look?
00:46:27He looks very well.
00:46:28Brown as a berry and with a fine growth of a beard.
00:46:32A beard?
00:46:33Oh, I do so dislike that sort of affectation in a young man.
00:46:38I would never permit Mr. Kirkpatrick to grow on.
00:46:41Did he say anything about coming to see us?
00:46:45I think you might find out a little awkward, isn't it?
00:46:48Well, I hope that he'll find his way here in time.
00:46:52Now, I must be off.
00:46:54Good day to you.
00:47:00Well, I don't see there need be any awkwardness on my account.
00:47:06I do hope he doesn't choose tomorrow to pay his respects, though.
00:47:10I've had a letter from Mr. Henderson.
00:47:12He says he's visiting this part of the country
00:47:14and hopes to pass through here tomorrow.
00:47:17Mr. Henderson.
00:47:19Oh, precious child, are we to congratulate you?
00:47:23Oh, no.
00:47:24But he has offered.
00:47:25Oh, he intends to offer, at least I'm sure.
00:47:28Well, yes, I suppose he has offered.
00:47:30Oh!
00:47:31And shall you accept?
00:47:33Oh, Cynthia, darling, do say yes, say yes and make me happy.
00:47:39And Lady Cummins, she will view the match most favourably, I am sure.
00:47:44Yes, well, I haven't made my mind up yet.
00:47:46And I shan't say yes to please anybody but myself.
00:48:13Molly?
00:48:14This is Mr. Henderson.
00:48:18How do you do?
00:48:19I've heard a great deal about you, Miss Gibson, and I hope we shall be very good friends.
00:48:29Well, you go on.
00:48:31I want to speak to Molly just now, not you.
00:48:39So, what do you think?
00:48:43Well, do you really like him enough to marry him?
00:48:46I think so.
00:48:49I told him I wasn't very constant.
00:48:51He said he liked me just the way I was.
00:48:53So, you see, he's been fairly warned.
00:49:00I think he's a little bit afraid, though.
00:49:02He wants us to be married very soon.
00:49:06I'm very pleased, Miss Kirkpatrick, that you are going to make a creditable marriage.
00:49:12I hope it will efface your former errors of conduct.
00:49:16And that you will live to be a comfort to your mother.
00:49:21I understand that Mr. Anderson...
00:49:24Henderson.
00:49:26...is in the law.
00:49:28Although there is a general prejudice against attorneys, I have known of two or three who were very respectable men.
00:49:37And it may well be that your Mr. Henderson is one of them.
00:49:43But he is a barrister, not an attorney.
00:49:45Yes, yes, there is no need for you to speak so loud, my dear.
00:49:49And when you have been a little in society, you will understand that it is bad manners to interrupt.
00:49:59Now...
00:50:03What was I going to say, Howitt?
00:50:05About the house party.
00:50:06Oh, yes, that was it.
00:50:09Hollingford has invited half the geographical society and I don't know who else besides to the towers.
00:50:17I've never known him to take any interest in party-giving before.
00:50:21The house will be quite full.
00:50:23How delightful.
00:50:24It's all in honour of Mr. Watcher Hamley, the famous traveller and man of science.
00:50:31It seems the whole world wants to meet him.
00:50:35I was wondering if you could spare Miss Gibson.
00:50:41Harriet has a great fancy to have her there too.
00:50:45Yes.
00:50:47Yes, yes, I suppose so, yes.
00:50:50Good.
00:50:52So, that's settled then.
00:50:58Engaged to a lawyer now.
00:51:00Little baggage.
00:51:03Thou cannot yield yield him too.
00:51:05You're well out of that, my boy.
00:51:08No, don't say anything against her father.
00:51:12Can't forget how once I loved her.
00:51:14Once?
00:51:15Not anymore.
00:51:20Oh.
00:51:23I could tell from her letters her heart wasn't really in it.
00:51:26But I wouldn't let myself believe in it.
00:51:32It wasn't really her I loved her, I think.
00:51:34It was a notion of her I dreamed of myself.
00:51:39Kind of hypothetical, Cynthia.
00:51:42I never was.
00:51:44Bit deep for me, that.
00:51:46A pretty little thing though, no denying it.
00:51:50They'll be fine ladies and over the towers, no doubt.
00:51:54You know what I think was a strange thing?
00:51:55How both you boys picked out girls below you in rank and family.
00:52:02Yet neither of you set your fancies on little Molly Gibson.
00:52:09Now there's a lassie who's found a way to my heart.
00:52:12Molly's like a sister to me.
00:52:30Now Molly, as you are far and away the prettiest girl of the party, I'm afraid you might be pestered.
00:52:37So I've detailed my cousin Charles to act as your sheepdog and stand guard over you.
00:53:03I'm sure you remember Miss Gibson.
00:53:05Miss Gibson, how charming you look.
00:53:08Are you going to be dancing this evening? I hope you enjoy yourself.
00:53:14Now, let me introduce you to my cousin, Charles Morton, Miss Gibson.
00:53:27Do you know our guest of honour, Miss Gibson?
00:53:29Yes, he's a very old friend.
00:53:31Really? Is he very awe-inspiring?
00:53:33No, not at all. He's very kind and not at all like anyone else I know.
00:53:38He gave me a wasp's nest as a present once.
00:53:40Miss Gibson, you astonish me.
00:53:43Here we are.
00:53:46How are you, Molly?
00:53:48I'm very well.
00:53:50I wondered if I'd recognise you.
00:53:53Papa said you had a beard.
00:53:55Oh, no. No, I don't.
00:54:12Mr. Hamley, were the natives not dangerous?
00:54:17One hears such stories.
00:54:20Do they really eat each other?
00:54:22Only rarely.
00:54:24The flesh of the European is considered the real delicacy.
00:54:26Yeah.
00:54:27Oh.
00:54:28Especially the females.
00:54:32Open season all year round on missionaries.
00:54:35There he is.
00:54:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:54:38Mmm!
00:54:39Oh, I often...
00:54:40What did you go to?
00:54:41With me to himself, when I hinted this to him,
00:54:46I had to be very well.
00:54:48I had to be very well.
00:54:50Care?
00:54:51Excuse me.
00:55:21How do you think my little prodigy is getting on, Mr. Hamley?
00:55:24Very well.
00:55:25She seems just the same.
00:55:28And yet completely different from now.
00:55:30Good.
00:55:31I understand.
00:55:32I've had any chance to speak to her.
00:55:35I didn't realize she was going to be here.
00:55:40Who is the gentleman with her?
00:55:43Sir Charles Morton, my cousin.
00:55:47Hello.
00:55:47Oh, Hamley, I'll leave you over here.
00:56:12Molly.
00:56:14Roger.
00:56:15How nice.
00:56:16I've been trying to get to talk to you.
00:56:18I know.
00:56:19And I've been unlucky.
00:56:22This is Charles Morton.
00:56:25Do you know him long?
00:56:26No.
00:56:27Not long at all.
00:56:29Lady Harriet told him to take care of me,
00:56:31and he does everything she tells him.
00:56:34Oh, I see.
00:56:38Seems so long since I saw you.
00:56:42Yes.
00:56:44Yes.
00:56:44I know how deeply we are indebted to you.
00:56:46My father told me you were like a true daughter to him at that worst time.
00:56:51You helped him to bear it more than anyone else could have.
00:56:56I can't tell you how good it is to see you again, Molly.
00:56:59Yes.
00:57:02Your letters meant so much to me when I was in Africa.
00:57:05I think you took much more pains with them than Cynthia did with hers.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:11It's all right.
00:57:13I can't speak of her, Molly.
00:57:16It's over.
00:57:19For me as well.
00:57:23You both made a mistake, I think.
00:57:32My father's very angry with you.
00:57:34Angry with me?
00:57:36Only because you came here and said if to us at Hamlet.
00:57:38Well, Lady Harriet wanted me, and I don't quite know why,
00:57:41but there's no refusing her.
00:57:44Then will you come and stay at the hall
00:57:46before I go away to Africa again?
00:57:50Emma has been asking for you, too.
00:57:53May I tell my father you'll come next week?
00:57:57Yes, I should like to very much.
00:58:01You don't know what a pleasure it will give him.
00:58:04Give us.
00:58:07Will I see you later?
00:58:08Yes.
00:58:09Of course.
00:58:13Very satisfactory.
00:58:15Sorry, Harriet. Don't follow.
00:58:16Don't you think that your protégé and my favourite young woman
00:58:18are finding out each other's good qualities?
00:58:20Roger Hamlet has more to think about.
00:58:22Molly Gibson's a very pretty, good little country girl.
00:58:25But Roger Hamlet has a glittering career ahead of him.
00:58:28She's trying to trap him at a marriage.
00:58:30It'll be a disaster.
00:58:31I'm surprised you invited him.
00:58:32That's okay.
00:58:33Yes, Sir.
00:58:51It's a very good place.
00:58:51You're it.
00:58:52Yes.
00:59:07But, of course, you must go to Hamley Hall.
00:59:10And as I shall be in London choosing Cynthia's trousseau,
00:59:13I think it's a very convenient opportunity
00:59:15to have you out of the house for a few days.
00:59:18Though, of course, Molly, I do understand your reservations.
00:59:21Of course I do.
00:59:22Do you?
00:59:22Well, yes, of course I do.
00:59:24I mean, you don't feel comfortable associating
00:59:28with a French woman of doubtful rank,
00:59:30and, well, I think you're quite right.
00:59:32But it isn't that.
00:59:33Well, what is it, then, I pray?
00:59:36Mrs Goodenough may say you're setting your cap at Roger Hamley,
00:59:40but what business is it of hers or, indeed, of anyone else's?
00:59:44You know how to conduct yourself with propriety,
00:59:47even if others don't,
00:59:47and I have never had the slightest concern about you on that score.
00:59:52Though if you were a little more forthcoming,
00:59:54it might not be a bad thing.
00:59:57It didn't do Cynthia any harm in the end, did it, dear?
01:00:07Molly.
01:00:09It's so good to have you back here.
01:00:14Amy!
01:00:17You look so well now.
01:00:19I'm so happy to see you.
01:00:20And I do.
01:00:25So, you can come a-visiting, though.
01:00:27You've been up with the grandfolks.
01:00:29We thought you was going to cut us, Miss Molly.
01:00:32Now, you was up at the towers.
01:00:33They asked me, and I went.
01:00:35Now, you've asked me, and I've come here.
01:00:37Oh, and which do you prefer, then?
01:00:38I don't think I should answer that.
01:00:41Oity-tighty, eh?
01:00:42Here, of course.
01:00:44What's the matter, little chap?
01:00:45Yeah, for your food.
01:00:46Come here.
01:00:47Come here.
01:00:48Ah, now we sit here.
01:00:50Certainly at Grandad's lap.
01:00:51There.
01:00:59Don't you like Roger?
01:01:02He's so good and kind to me.
01:01:04Yes.
01:01:06He's always been good and kind to me as well.
01:01:09I think he likes you very much.
01:01:12He used to be like brother and sister.
01:01:14No, I don't think so.
01:01:18Oh, no, you don't understand.
01:01:20But he was engaged to my sister, my stepsister.
01:01:23But he made a mistake, I think.
01:01:26No.
01:01:31I wish you wouldn't speak about it anymore, am I?
01:01:33Hey.
01:01:53Molly.
01:01:55It's the new stuff I had sent on from Africa.
01:01:57It's just arrived.
01:01:59Why don't you come and have a look?
01:02:03I thought you'd be interested.
01:02:04I am interested.
01:02:06Of course I am.
01:02:07Well, come on then.
01:02:20That's the one you did a drawing of.
01:02:22You remembered it.
01:02:23Of course I remembered it.
01:02:25I remember everything you wrote in your letters.
01:02:29How could you think I wouldn't?
01:02:34Then.
01:02:38I've hurt you.
01:02:44Tell me what the matter is.
01:02:48You're real, aren't you?
01:02:52Have I upset you?
01:02:54No.
01:02:56No.
01:02:58I don't understand.
01:03:00I don't understand.
01:03:06I don't see why you don't put up for her still.
01:03:08Don't you think you could like her if you tried?
01:03:10No need for trying to love her.
01:03:12That's already done, but it's too late.
01:03:15It's too late.
01:03:16She's as good as told me so.
01:03:18It's my own fault.
01:03:20There's nothing to be done.
01:03:21Don't let's speak of it anymore.
01:03:22That's nonsense, my lad.
01:03:23That's not the way to go about it.
01:03:25You made a mistake before.
01:03:26She won't hold it against you forever.
01:03:28Just tell her you'll love her.
01:03:29And if she won't have you now, then wait a while and ask her again.
01:03:33And don't give up trying till you've made her safe.
01:03:35You don't understand, Father.
01:03:36Understand a deal more than you think I understand.
01:03:58So how's my little chap, then?
01:04:00Not well, I'm afraid.
01:04:02Scarlet fever.
01:04:04Molly will have to leave the hose at once.
01:04:07She hasn't had it, you see.
01:04:09Mommy.
01:04:19I gathered these for you.
01:04:21To take home with you.
01:04:24You are kind.
01:04:27Molly, tell me.
01:04:29Have I done something to vex you?
01:04:32Since we were so happy at the towers.
01:04:34No.
01:04:37No, you never vexed me in my whole life, Roger.
01:04:41Then will you give me back one of those flowers?
01:04:45As a pledge of what you just said.
01:04:49Of course.
01:04:51We'll take whichever you like.
01:04:53No.
01:04:55You must choose.
01:04:57I have the full instructions with Martha.
01:04:59Sheen of school.
01:05:00It'll be all right, Gibbs.
01:05:01Please, Squire Hamley, do you know which is Roger's favorite flower?
01:05:04No, a rose, I dare say.
01:05:06You'll come back directly, won't you, Gibbs?
01:05:07Certainly.
01:05:13Here, Roger.
01:05:21Goodbye, Molly.
01:05:31We must stop our call intergoers with the hall for the time.
01:05:35If there's one illness I dread, it's this.
01:05:52Mm-hmm.
01:05:54Mm-hmm.
01:05:56Mm-hmm.
01:05:56That's right, little chap.
01:05:58Yes, you'll do.
01:06:01I apprehend no immediate anxiety.
01:06:04Oh, thank you, Mr. Gibson.
01:06:07It's still highly contagious, even to adults.
01:06:10Don't come in here without me until I tell you that it's safe to do so.
01:06:18You know I set off on Tuesday, Mr. Gibson.
01:06:20As soon as that.
01:06:22May I come to the house before I go?
01:06:24I won't run the risk of infection, if you don't mind.
01:06:27Then I won't see Molly again.
01:06:30So that's how it is.
01:06:32Yes.
01:06:33I know what you must be thinking.
01:06:36I only wish you could know what a different feeling this is to my boyish love for Cynthia.
01:06:40I could beat myself for having been such a blind fool.
01:06:43Come, come, Cynthia wasn't that bad.
01:06:46I dare say Molly despises me, but I must ask for a chance.
01:06:50Do you think she could be brought to listen to me?
01:06:52Oh, I don't know.
01:06:53I can't tell.
01:06:54Oh, women are queer, unreasoning creatures, and just as likely as not to love a man who's been throwing his
01:06:59affection away.
01:07:03Thank you, sir.
01:07:04I see you mean to give me encouragement.
01:07:06My encouragement is neither here nor there.
01:07:08If she can stomach you, I dare say I can.
01:07:10Then may I see her?
01:07:12Just once, before I go.
01:07:13No, decidedly not.
01:07:15And there I come in as a doctor as well as a father.
01:07:18No.
01:07:20Very well.
01:07:21Then if I don't come back, I shall haunt you for having been so cruel.
01:07:25Come, I like that.
01:07:27Give me a wise man of science and love.
01:07:29No one to beat him for folly.
01:07:31Goodbye now.
01:07:37Lover versus father.
01:07:40Lover wins.
01:07:50Oh, such a gloomy day.
01:07:55I really do think that Cynthia should have written to me first, after all the trouble that I took over
01:08:00her trousseau.
01:08:01Molly.
01:08:02Molly, look.
01:08:03Who's that man wrapped in a cloak there?
01:08:05By the park wall, under the beech tree.
01:08:08He's been there for half an hour.
01:08:11He's been looking at this house all the time.
01:08:13I think it's very suspicious.
01:08:16Why, it's Roger.
01:08:19Look, he's waving.
01:08:20He's kissing his hand to us.
01:08:21He's saying goodbye.
01:08:23Oh, how romantic.
01:08:26Oh, it reminds me of my former days.
01:08:29Goodbye.
01:08:30Goodbye.
01:08:32Goodbye.
01:08:35Oh, he'll be late for the coach.
01:08:37I must send him on his way.
01:08:39Bye.
01:08:50Bye.
01:09:33Oh, upon my word, this little attention of Rogers has reminded me most forcibly of a very charming young man
01:09:43I used to know, Lieutenant Harper.
01:09:48He was devoted to me when I was 17 and at Mrs. Duncan's.
01:09:53And when the regiment was ordered to another town, poor Lieutenant Harper, do you know?
01:09:57He came and stood opposite the school.
01:10:05Molly?
01:10:07Where are you going?
01:10:11Where are you going?
01:10:26Where are you going?
01:10:28Where are you going?
01:10:56I couldn't go.
01:10:57Well, I couldn't go without.
01:11:03Molly, do I still have any chance with you?
01:11:05Yes.
01:11:07I've been such a fool, I know.
01:11:09Yes.
01:11:12Yes.
01:11:17There's so much I prepared to say to you.
01:11:21Oh, I should have seen it.
01:11:22It was you that I truly loved even before.
01:11:25You mean it?
01:11:26Yes.
01:11:37Yes.
01:11:38I mustn't come any closer.
01:11:39I promised your father.
01:11:40Yes, I know.
01:11:49Molly.
01:11:51Dear Molly.
01:11:58Will you be my wife?
01:12:01Yes.
01:12:03Yes, I will.
01:12:06Yes.
01:12:16I'd hope to see her dressed a bit grander now she's a fine lady and mistress of Hamley Hall.
01:12:22Our Molly looks nice in whatever she puts on and there's no airs and graces about her.
01:12:27Not like some.
01:12:29We always knew Roger Hamley loved our Molly.
01:12:32Are you no such thing, Phoebe?
01:12:35Well, he rode seven miles to bring her a wasp's nest and you don't do that for no reason.
01:12:40Excuse me for me.
01:12:41I need to go.
01:12:41Now, Lady Cummler, this is the young master.
01:12:44Oh, he's a fine boy.
01:12:47Quite a quidditch to his mother.
01:12:49Come say hello to him and call Roger.
01:12:51Where is he?
01:12:52There's Roger.
01:12:53Oh, hello.
01:12:56Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, bravo.
01:13:04So, off to Africa again, Hollingford tells me.
01:13:07Must be pretty good at the lingo by now, huh?
01:13:14And what does there be by this at home?
01:13:16Man learns what he needs to know.
01:13:18Really?
01:13:19Oh, well, that's very edifying.
01:13:23I can't help but think it was such a pity I was born when I was.
01:13:27I should like to belong to this generation.
01:13:30Sometimes feel like that myself.
01:13:33So many advances in science.
01:13:36I'd like to see where they all lead.
01:13:38To be in Roger's shoes, no, that would be something.
01:13:41To tell the truth, I was thinking of Cynthia.
01:13:43I was quite as pretty as she is a girl and now look at the difference.
01:13:47I had to live in a small country town with only five servants.
01:13:51While she lives in Sussex Place, keeps a broom and I don't know what.
01:13:56But I only hope she won't be spoiled by it.
01:13:59Witches are a great smear, you know.
01:14:01I'm thankful you were spared temptation, my dear.
01:14:04Yes.
01:14:08Well, what do you say now?
01:14:11Was I not right?
01:14:13Absolutely right.
01:14:14And I was absolutely wrong.
01:14:20Remarkable.
01:14:21Oh, it's not remarkable at all.
01:14:24You men concern yourselves with the eternal verities.
01:14:28We women are content to ponder the petty things in life.
01:14:33Oh, it's not matters.
