00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.

00:00:48Liz, please forgive me, I can't do this, I won't be traded off to some man, I'm so sorry it

00:00:53had to be you who found this, don't come looking for me, Jane.

00:00:59Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Winding, the Fenwick family

00:01:03will be ruined completely?

00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it, indeed.

00:01:21If not for some old favour the Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match ever

00:01:25being considered at all.

00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.

00:01:47I know.

00:01:51Miss, you can't go in like this.

00:01:52There's no time.

00:01:5651.

00:01:59There's no way.

00:02:01Did you hear that?

00:02:03There was no way left, no way left.

00:02:09When's my dad?

00:02:09All right, guys.

00:02:20I don't know.

00:02:20I'm sorry.

00:02:21I can see you.

00:02:22I can see you.

00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick.

00:02:35That's the younger sister.

00:02:37The younger sister?

00:02:38But 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 and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?

00:02:56How dare you!

00:02:58Rachel, please. Not here.

00:03:01I'm going to see you.

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.

00:03:19I have no right to ask anything of you, but...

00:03:26Marry me.

00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.

00:03:36Ladies and gentlemen,

00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.

00:03:40My lord, it is my honour to present to you my bride.

00:03:58On 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 on urgent business.

00:04:20You may move to Thormitt later today.

00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.

00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.

00:04:33Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.

00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment?

00:04:38For taking my sister's place?

00:04:59Please, thank you for having me.

00:05:01You've got the mother of mine.

00:05:11none of us attended but i've heard every detail they say the sister ran off and the younger one

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.

00:31:51Was 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.

00:32:19After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.

00:32:24I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.

00:32:27Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.

00:32:28We call her Georgie.

00:32:29Georgie, this is Elizabeth.

00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.

00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?

00:32:34I read.

00:32:34I write.

00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.

00:32:39Of 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.

00:32:46Not 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.

00:32:51Bring 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.

00:33:06You can watch if you prefer.

00:33:18Well.

00:33:21You had 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.

00:33:53Come in.

00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies.

00:34:01She had no intention of neglecting you today.

00:34:03I understand.

00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree of all.

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.

00:34:19Nor am I.

00:34:24I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.

00:34:27Twenty-three.

00:34:31I see.

00:34:46I confess I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...

00:34:52Elizabeth.

00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything.

00:35:04The desk.

00:35:06I 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.

00:35:46Let's begin.

00:36:28All right.

00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything.

00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.

00:36:35Elizabeth Winwin, née Fenwork.

00:36:38You arrived at my door this morning, wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather

00:36:43surprising about the world.

00:36:45Was it?

00:36:46Was it Friday?

00:36:50You are incredible.

00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details.

00:36:54Was he...

00:36:54He was...

00:36:56Considerate.

00:36:58Extraordinary so.

00:37:00How?

00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.

00:37:05Way 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?

00:37:16In the morning?

00:37:18He said, come back to bed.

00:37:21As though I'd been there all along.

00:37:24Only meant to return.

00:37:26He held my hand.

00:37:30Lizzie.

00:37:32I don't.

00:37:33I like him.

00:37:37I am beginning to think I might.

00:37:45We're stuck in the mud.

00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.

00:37:57Wedge something under the wheel first.

00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.

00:38:02Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.

00:38:15Lizzie.

00:38:16How can you pass it?

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.

00:38:43Edgar Lemmonds.

00:38:44A distant son.

00:38:45The summer I was 14, he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.

00:38:49Charcoal everywhere.

00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.

00:38:53Then he left for Italy.

00:38:56Is that... Edgar?

00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.

00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.

00:39:11I 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.

00:39:18I am.

00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Winda.

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.

00:39:37Lord Winda is worth ten of him.

00:39:38You know that, don't you?

00:39:41Come.

00:39:42The 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.

00:40:00And he will do as you think best, my dear.

00:40:04You 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?

00:40:32Why, 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,

00:40:48the 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...

00:40:53You followed her.

00:40:54No.

00:40:55I just happened to be passing by...

00:40:56Georgiana.

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.

00:41:19Edgar Lennox.

00:41:23My lady, his lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.

00:41:29Did 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.

00:42:06Our carriage came to grief in the mud.

00:42:08He assisted with freeing the wheel.

00:42:12Georgiana is young, and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment.

00:42:16I 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.

00:42:22It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.

00:42:26He's telling me he stands on my side.

00:42:30Thank you, Edward.

00:42:32For what?

00:42:33We're married, you need not thank me.

00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.

00:42:39He may want to consider spending six more.

00:42:42The 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.

00:43:04He accused me of following her.

00:43:06He is a loyal man, always has been.

00:43:08And 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.

00:43:35Very 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, ends and correspondence.

00:44:24And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.

00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.

00:44:37Lady Winfield and her lover.

00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on her charred bodies, he will surely return to me.

00:44:55Elizabeth!

00:44:56Elizabeth!

00:45:09My lord!

00:45:10It 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.

00:45:18A 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, if there's Elizabeth's handwriting.

00:45:42I 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!

00:46:06Miss, don't!

00:46:07It's not safe in there!

00:46:10My brother!

00:46:11Henry, you must save my brother!

00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry!

00:46:25I'm sorry!

00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start?

00:46:31Why 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?

00:46:37Why on earth would I venture to the east wing in the middle of the night?

00:46:40You wretched creature.

00:46:42How did you get so lucky?

00:46:43No matter.

00:46:44Edward just ran to his death.

00:46:46You had no one to rely on me.

00:46:47And as a Duchess, shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.

00:46:51My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.

00:46:54You what?

00:46:55Why?

00:46:56Elizabeth!

00:46:58Elizabeth!

00:46:58My brother is still in there!

00:47:00What did we do?

00:47:01He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside!

00:47:03Oh dear, how did this happen?

00:47:05Let go, Georgiana.

00:47:06No!

00:47:14She didn't write that note.

00:47:17She can't write it in that note.

00:47:25It 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!

00:47:43Elizabeth.

00:47:43Go back.

00:47:46Go back.

00:47:56Foolish woman.

00:47:57Reckless man.

00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.

00:48:10You're safe.

00:48:14You'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?

00:48:30You 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?

00:48:37You.

00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.

00:48:57Edward.

00:48:58That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.

00:49:02I 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.

00:49:20Cecilia.

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.

00:49:33I knew they were in favor of her.

00:49:34Who 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.

00:49:43As for me...

00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.

00:49:52Edgar 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.

00:50:00There's nothing more.

00:50:01Well 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.

00:50:13There are about two hours left until dawn.

00:50:16Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?

00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.

00:50:29May I?

00:50:31Yes, you may.

00:50:40This...

00:50:42This is what home feels like.

00:50:54My lord, the Dowtridge Duchess of Ravensville 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.

00:51:13Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.

00:51:16You know very well why I am here.

00:51:19Georgiana won't see me.

00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.

00:51:24And 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.

00:51:32Edward, 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.

00:51:40I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone

00:51:44wealthier than a mere earl.

00:51:47Such was my obligation, Edward.

00:51:49You know my family's circumstances.

00:51:51You know I had no choice.

00:51:53And you...

00:51:53You waited too, Edward.

00:51:55All these years.

00:51:57A Thornworld 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.

00:52:08And in those eight months, you've come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,

00:52:12cultivated my sister's trust, and forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy

00:52:16my wife's reputation.

00:52:18I did what I believed was.

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.

00:52:40No.

00:52:40You can't treat me this way.

00:52:42I'm the Dowage Guchess 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, Sushi.

00:52:58Do you love her?

00:53:01Yes, 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.

00:53:47May I come in?

00:53:49Please.

00:53:50I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.

00:53:52I know.

00:53:53I'm sorry.

00:53:55I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.

00:53:57Several, in fact.

00:53:58I forgive you.

00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?

00:54:02Of course.

00:54:08Georgiana.

00:54:10I 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.

00:54:29By the way, you shoot better than I do.

00:54:34You'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.

00:54:52The night of the fire, I 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.

00:55:04I 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.

00:55:29The King offered him a very generous commission.

00:55:31He is a talented man.

00:55:33It 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.

00:55:47Come.

00:55:49My Lord.

00:55:56Elizabeth!

00:56:01Elizabeth.

00:56:04Elizabeth.

00:56:11Elizabeth!

00:56:23The 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?

00:56:38Congratulations, my Lord.

00:56:41Yes.

00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt.

00:57:03So, we're going to have a child.

00:57:09Yes.

00:57:11Yes.

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.

00:57:25I 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.

00:58:58Ah, Elizabeth.

00:59:01To 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?

00:59:32Oh, God bless you, my child.

00:59:39Mother.

00:59:43I 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!

01:00:25It's Edward!

01:00:41He's coming after us.

01:00:44Let him come.

01:00:50Lord Wyndham.

01:00:51What an honor.

01:00:53Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.

01:00:56It is for me as well.

01:00:58Lady 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...

01:01:05By law, yes.

01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?

01:01:18Come in.

01:01:25My 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 county.

01:01:36Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.

01:01:40To me.

01:01:41The roof you sleep under.

01:01:42The fields you work on.

01:01:43The 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.

01:01:59Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate.

01:02:03To 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

01:02:10land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.

01:02:18My wife sends her regards.

01:02:20My wife sends her regards.

01:02:32He'll take me away, I know it.

01:02:35Oh, Lord, that man will never let me leave him.

01:02:38No.

01:02:40Edward will handle everything.

01:02:43I 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?

01:03:03He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.

01:03:20He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.

01:03:37How long will you be gone for?

01:03:38Four months, perhaps.

01:03:44I don't wish to go.

01:03:46I know.

01:03:46I know you don't.

01:03:49Elizabeth, I...

01:03:50It's Friday, you know.

01:04:00I'll be gentle.

01:04:01So will I.

01:04:04Don't be too gentle.

01:04:07I don't.

01:04:08I don't.

01:04:10I don't.

01:04:14I don't.

01:04:15I don't.

01:04:18I promise you'll write me.

01:04:22Every day.

01:04:39My Lord, it is the 14th of March, and 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, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.

01:04:52Come home soon, Edward.

01:04:54We both eagerly await your return.

01:05:04A letter from London, my lady, in 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.

01:05:19Today, I write to tell you I am coming home.

01:05:22I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.

01:05:27Did you hear that, Edward?

01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.

01:05:33My lady.

01:05:34There are two gentlemen at the door.

01:05:35Officers, I believe.

01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.

01:05:46Lady Winverde, 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.

01:05:58May I have the night to prepare?

01:06:00I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.

01:06:03The carriage is prepared.

01:06:07Very well.

01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather, my hands.

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 the Prince Regent.

01:06:34Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:40Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:45Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:46Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:48Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:50Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:52Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:53Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:54Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:55Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:56Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:06:57Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to go.

01:07:10Elizabeth!

01:07:37Edward!

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?

01:08:42Yes.

01:08:43I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons. Who was it?

01:08:47A widow, recently returned from London. She forged the seal.

01:08:51She also set fire to the East Ring of my home in October.

01:08:54The Dowager Gretnas?

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.

01:09:02Thank you, Your Highness.

01:09:04And for this, for allowing us in.

01:09:06Don'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.

01:09:12She 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.

01:09:46Why 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?

01:10:32On 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.

01:11:00Then 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.

01:11:37Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.

01:11:41A husband.

01:11:43And wife.

01:11:44Good heavens!

01:11:45A joint honour!

01:11:47And what title shall be awarded to them?

01:11:51Are 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.

01:12:00When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.

01:12:04And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.

01:12:08Well, 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.

01:12:30Thorn.

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

01:12:43Mark Seant of Thornfield.

01:12:45And Mark Seant of Thornfield.
