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

00:28:02There's something wrong.
00:28:05No, no, nothing.
00:28:11I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:13Mrs. Kilda suggested something warm as chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:40You have.
00:28:44This hand is still warm.
00:28:50I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:55My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:59Yes, I should like it that very much.
00:29:05I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfillment of our marital obligation.
00:29:16Yes, Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:26I don't know.
00:30:06Go on.
00:30:07Vale will see you in.
00:30:09I shall belong.
00:30:11Of course.
00:30:24Three.
00:30:53That's Edward's mother.
00:30:55She looks so young to find.
00:31:00Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:04I am...
00:31:13Lady Winden.
00:31:17I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:19I am Cecilia.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:25She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:29Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:33The woman Edward wants life.
00:31:38Your grace.
00:31:39The pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:43Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden.
00:31:48Shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me.
00:31:50Yet 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.
00:32:16So 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.
00:32:31Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:33And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:34I read.
00:32:35I write.
00:32:36I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:39Of course she does.
00:32:40Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:41No offense, Elizabeth.
00:32:43It 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.
00:32:59Do you know your way around guns?
00:33:02Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:05Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:06You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:18Well.
00:33:21You had three.
00:33:22I shall not be greedy.
00:33:24I shall not be greedy.
00:33:36Mother.
00:33:37Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:39She found me.
00:33:42I like her.
00:33:45So do I.
00:33:52Come in.
00:33:53Come in.
00:33:58My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:34:01She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:03I understand.
00:34:05I understand.
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree of all.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:13So it is.
00:34:14I must admit.
00:34:16I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:19Nor am I.
00:34:25I 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.
00:35:08To begin with.
00:35:11I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:23Breathe.
00:35:26You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:36I...
00:35:41I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:45Let's begin.
00:35:48Let's begin.
00:36:28All right.
00:36:30You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:35Elizabeth Winwyn.
00:36:36Nave 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?
00:36:47Was it Friday?
00:36:50You are incredible.
00:36:52I am your oldest friend and I deserve details.
00:36:54Was he...
00:36:54He was...
00:36:57Considerate.
00:36:59Extraordinary so.
00:37:01How?
00:37:02How?
00:37:02He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:06Before anything else.
00:37:08Several times, in fact.
00:37:11Good Lord.
00:37:13That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward.
00:37:15In the morning.
00:37:19He said, come back to bed.
00:37:22As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:24Only meant to return.
00:37:26He held my hand.
00:37:30Lizzie.
00:37:33Don't.
00:37:34Like 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.
00:38:16Lizzie.
00:38:17How can I pass?
00:38:30Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:34The road found me.
00:38:36I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:39Of course you were.
00:38:40You always were.
00:38:43Edgar Lemmicks.
00:38:44A Viscuit's son.
00:38:46The summer I was 14,
00:38:47he 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...
00:38:57Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:00I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:09I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:11I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me.
00:39:14I 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 Wyndham.
00:39:31Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:36Perhaps not.
00:39:37Lord Wyndham is worth ten of him.
00:39:38You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come on.
00:39:42The road is clear now.
00:39:50She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that,
00:39:54out in the open road.
00:39:55She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:56That much was plain enough.
00:39:58I shall tell Edward.
00:39:59I shall tell him exactly what I saw,
00:40:01and he will do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:18Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:20It 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...
00:40:31Close together, you say?
00:40:32Why, yes, and he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:36And then?
00:40:37She drew back in the end.
00:40:39But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:40He called her Lizzie.
00:40:42What was the man's name?
00:40:44Lennox.
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.
00:40:51Then 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 her.
00:40:57Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm.
00:41:02She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:04Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks,
00:41:06with whom she spends her time,
00:41:07such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:10You should have married a true lady,
00:41:11not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:19Edgar Lennoxon.
00:41:23My lady.
00:41:25His 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,
00:41:34take 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.
00:41:42Of course, my lady.
00:41:50Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:53I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:05I did.
00:42:06Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:08He assisted with screwing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young,
00:42:13and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment.
00:42:16I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:19He 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.
00:42:31Thank you, Edward.
00:42:32For what?
00:42:33We're married.
00:42:34You need not thank me.
00:42:37Edgar Lennoxon 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.
00:42:52I cannot believe this.
00:42:54He 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.
00:43:12Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:15He leaves for Duttshire 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.
00:43:37Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:50She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:18East wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20East wing, old timber frames.
00:44:22Curtains and correspondence and 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.
00:44:40Once Edward lays eyes on her charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:54Elizabeth!
00:44:56Elizabeth!
00:44:59Elizabeth!
00:45:04Elizabeth!
00:45:09My lord, it began in the lower storey.
00:45:12Where's Lady Wyndham?
00:45:13We have not been able to find Lady Wyndham,
00:45:15but we brought someone out from the East Wing.
00:45:18A man.
00:45:21Elizabeth, she's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:31What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:34Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:36I did not wish to be the one first.
00:45:37What is that in your hand?
00:45:40Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:42I received a note.
00:45:43I believed it to be what you believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:50Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:54Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:55Of course she's inside that wicked adult sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:07Miss Doat, it's not safe in there.
00:46:10My brother, Henry, you must save my brother.
00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry.
00:46:17He ran head first into that fire.
00:46:20For her.
00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:31Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:33And you, what are you doing here?
00:46:35You, you'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.
00:46:42Where did you get so lucky?
00:46:44No matter.
00:46:44Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:46We have no one to rely on now.
00:46:47And as a duchess, shall be my god-begined right to walk all over you.
00:46:51My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:54You what?
00:46:55Why?
00:46:57Elizabeth!
00:46:58Elizabeth!
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?
00:47:05Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:07No!
00:47:15She didn't write that note.
00:47:18She can't have written 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.
00:47:44Go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:58Reckless man.
00:48:08I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I was wrong about it.
00:48:20No, get to be.
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.
00:48:32I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:34Whatever am I gonna do with you?
00:48:37You...
00:48:52To be continued...
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...
00:49:28arrangements were considered
00:49:30by my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:34I knew they were in favor of me.
00:49:35Who were you?
00:49:36I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:39If she had hopes,
00:49:40they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:43As for me...
00:49:46I forgot about her entirely
00:49:47on the morning I married you.
00:49:52Edgar Lenniston and I,
00:49:53we grew up together as well.
00:49:56He 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...
00:50:03Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:06Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:10It'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.
00:50:41This...
00:50:42This is what home feels like.
00:50:55My lord,
00:50:56the Dowtridge Duchess of Ravensburg has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure,
00:51:00but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:04Show her in, Henry.
00:51:11Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:14Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:17You know very well why I am here.
00:51:19Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:21Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:24And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:26I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth,
00:51:28nor 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
00:51:36when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:39Yes, I recall.
00:51:40I also recall that during that same autumn,
00:51:43you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier 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...
00:51:54You waited too, Edward.
00:51:56All these years.
00:51:58A Thornworld without a mistress, without a bride-to-be.
00:52:00Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:04That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:06You know that's not what I...
00:52:07You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months, you've come to Shropshire,
00:52:10established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:12cultivated my sister's trust,
00:52:14and forged a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed was.
00:52:20I 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.
00:52:28Otherwise, 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,
00:52:38and you will not come back.
00:52:40No.
00:52:41You can't treat me this way.
00:52:43I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravenshile.
00:52:46Do 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.
00:52:59Do you love her?
00:53:01Yes, I do.
00:53:03I do.
00:53:07I do.
00:53:14Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:27She came back for him.
00:53:30And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:48May I come in?
00:53:50Please.
00:53:50I didn't know Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:53I know.
00:53:54I'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?
00:54:03Of course.
00:54:08Georgiana.
00:54:10I know you love your brother.
00:54:13And I do too.
00:54:23In all the years I've known him,
00:54:25he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:29I know.
00:54:30By the way,
00:54:31you 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.
00:54:50I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:52The night of the fire,
00:54:54I 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.
00:55:02May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:24Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:28I know.
00:55:29The king offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:32He is a talented man.
00:55:33It would have been a waste.
00:55:35Edward.
00:55:37Yes?
00:55:41I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:45I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:48Come.
00:55:49My lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:02Elizabeth!
00:56:05Elizabeth.
00:56:12Elizabeth!
00:56:13Elizabeth!
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, we are.
00:57:13This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:19I'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.
00:57:30And take a warm blanket.
00:57:31The mornings are cold now.
00:57:33I know I needn't thank the man I married.
00:57:36But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward.
00:57:58Bye.
00:58:00Bye.
00:58:00I don't know.
00:58:57I don't know.
00:59:00Elizabeth, to what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:06Come with me, Mother. Now.
00:59:11This 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.
00:59:32You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:41Mother, I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:47You're going to chase him after us.
00:59:49You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:53Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:17Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:26It's Edward!
01:00:41It's Edward!
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honor.
01:00:54Though 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.
01:01:31These are private accounts, my lord.
01:01:32You have no right to...
01:01:33The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this county.
01:01:37Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:40To me, the roof you sleep under, the fields you work on, the horses in your stable.
01:01:46The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrewsbury.
01:01:51My lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:56I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:59Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:05If 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.
01:02:19My 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.
01:02:51Is he...
01:02:52Is he a good man, your lord?
01:03:03He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:16Now let me tell you we are working.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:39Four months, perhaps.
01:03:44I don't wish to go.
01:03:46I know. I know you don't.
01:03:49Elizabeth, I...
01:03:51It's Friday, you know.
01:04:00I'll be gentle.
01:04:02So will I.
01:04:04Don't be too gentle.
01:04:18Promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:39My Lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:46set of piano keys.
01:04:48Dr. 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.
01:05:12Elizabeth, your 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, 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, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:36Officers, I believe.
01:05:37They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:47Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:51Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:58Lady Winverd, may 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.
01:06:10Allow me five minutes to gather my hands.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:25I need time to verify it.
01:06:30Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:45That sound, this isn't the road to London, it's the Cliff Road.
01:06:53Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop this carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:07:11Elizabeth!
01:07:22Elizabeth!
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think...
01:07:53I think the child is coming.
01:07:57Edward!
01:07:59Edward!
01:08:00Edward!
01:08:03Edward!
01:08:05Edward!
01:08:05Edward!
01:08:09Edward!
01:08:11Edward!
01:08:11Edward!
01:08:14My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:18Move.
01:08:41You're first child?
01:08:42Yes.
01:08:43I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons.
01:08:46Who was it?
01:08:47A widow, a widow, who recently returned from London, she forged the seal, she also set fire
01:08:52to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:55The dowager greatness.
01:08:56Yes, your highness.
01:09:02And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:06And for this, for allowing us in.
01:09:06And for allowing us in.
01:09:06Don't thank me for that.
01:09:07Thank my wife.
01:09:09She heard the commotion.
01:09:09She 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.
01:09:17That's one way to put it.
01:09:18That's one way to put it.
01:09:43That's one way to put it.
01:09:46How could I do it?
01:09:47Why am I there?
01:09:51I don't know.
01:09:57Your royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:08Jane.
01:10:22How 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.
01:10:35Cut across the north field.
01:10:37I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:43And then?
01:10:44There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:47Dogs, 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.
01:10:58And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:11:00Yes, 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.
01:11:07Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are you?
01:11:16More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The Prince Regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:27Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:28None at all.
01:11:29Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:32But who shall it be?
01:11:33Cavendish?
01:11:34Ashmore?
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 and wife.
01:11:45Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honour!
01:11:48And 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?
01:12:20Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:23How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:25You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:29And I feel magnificent.
01:12:33With the honour of the crowd,
01:12:35and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:38I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham
01:12:41and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:42to the rank of Marcus and Martians of Thornfield.
