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.
00:01:55To be continued...

00:04:26he didn't even hear my explanation

00:30:04Go on.
00:30:07If Vail will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:52That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:30:59Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:03I am...
00:31:13Lady Wyndham.
00:31:16I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:19I am Cecilia.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:24She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:27That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlock.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:33The woman Edward makes life forever.
00:31:37Your grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:43Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:51Was 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, we 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, most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:41No offence, Elizabeth, it simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:46Not everyone has it.
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try, it is only fair to offer.
00:32:50Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:55A gun for beginners.
00:32:59Do you know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing, you can watch if you prefer.
00:33:10Go!
00:33:13Go!
00:33:14Go!
00:33:18Go!
00:33:18Go!
00:33:20You had three.
00:33:22I shall not be greedy.

00:35:58i
00:35:59i
00:36:14i
00:36:28All right, you 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? Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he...
00:36:54He was... considerate. Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:06Before anything else. Several times, in fact.
00:37:11Good Lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward? In 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 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. Wedge 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 by?
00:38:29Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:34The 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.
00:38:52Then 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. Thank you.
00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Windor.
00:39:30Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34You didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not.
00:39:37Lord Windor 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.
00:39:59I shall tell him exactly what I saw.
00:40:00And he will do as you think best, Lady.
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.
00:40:26Edward, I 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.
00:40:42What 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, and the one who has been off painting in Italy for
00:40:50the 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 her.
00:40:57Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm.
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, such matters are of
00:41:08importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgina.
00:41:18Edgar 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.
00:42:15I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:22It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:25He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:32For what?
00:42:33We're married.
00:42:33You 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.
00:43:07And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:11Has 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.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:17East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains, ends and correspondence.
00:44:23And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:37Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to me.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:45:09My lord!
00:45:10It began in the lower store in...
00:45:11Where's Lady Winda?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winda.
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 Winda 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 Doak!
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!
00:46:17He ran headfirst 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?
00:46:32And 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!
00:46:58My 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 have written that note.
00:47:25It was you.
00:47:28Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:31No!
00:47:32No!
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.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're slanting me.
00:48:12You're slanting me.
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.
00:48:33I 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.
00:48:56Edward.
00:48:58Edward.
00:48:59That 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 me.
00:49:35Who were you?
00:49:36I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:39If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:42As for me, I 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, now 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.
00:50:28May 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 wealthier than a
00:51:45mere 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, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:55All these years.
00:51:57A Thornfield without a mistress, without a bride to be.
00:52:00Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:03That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:05You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months, you've come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:12cultivated my sister's trust, and forged a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed for.
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, you 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, Sioshi.
00:52:58Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes, I do.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:26She came back for him.
00:53:30And 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,
00:54:25he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:28I 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.
00:54:49I 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.
00:55:01May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:23Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:28The King offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:31If he 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.
00:55:48Come.
00:55:49My Lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth!
00:56:04Elizabeth.
00:56:06Elizabeth.
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:13Elizabeth!
00:56:13Elizabeth!
00:56:14Elizabeth!
00:56:15Elizabeth!
00:56:16Elizabeth!
00:56:18Elizabeth!
00:56:19Elizabeth!
00:56:19Elizabeth!
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.
00:57:12This 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.
00:58:51Mother!
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?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:31I'm pregnant.
00:59:32You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:41Mother.
00:59:42Mother.
00:59:43I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:45Oh, God.
00:59:47You're going to chase him after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:12Breathe.
01:00:12Oh, God.
01:00:13Oh, God.
01:00:14Make sure youkay.
01:00:16I know.
01:00:17Do you?
01:00:17Ones, oh, God.
01:00:18Oh, God.
01:00:21Save me.
01:00:22I know.
01:00:41He's coming after us.
01:00:43Let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honor.
01:00:53Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:58Lady 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.
01:01:24My Lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my Lord. You have no right to...
01:01:32The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:37Two 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.
01:01:45The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shroudsburg.
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, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:04If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement, you will lose your house, your
01:02:10land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:18My 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.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
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.
01:03:04No.
01:03:16I'll let me tell you.
01:03:20But it's working.
01:03:22You.
01:03:26You.
01:03:27You.
01:03:30You.
01:03:31You.
01:03:33You.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:39Four months, perhaps.
01:03:44I don't wish to go.
01:03:45I know.
01:03:47I know you don't.
01:03:49Elizabeth, I...
01:03:51It's Friday, you know.
01:04:00I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:03Don't be too gentle.
01:04:18Promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:24Every 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.
01:04:47Dr. 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 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.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:33My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, 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, the 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.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the road to London.
01:06:48The Clifford.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:06:56Immediately!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:13Elizabeth!
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.
01:08:13My 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.
01:08:46Who was it?
01:08:46A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:49She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Gretnes?
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:59She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:02Thank 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.
01:09:27Lady Windery is well.
01:09:28You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why am I there?
01:09:57Her 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.
01:10:35Cut across the north field.
01:10:36I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then?
01:10:43There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:46Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself.
01:10:53Gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:55He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes, then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:03And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are 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!
01:11:46A 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.
01:12:07Well, things are different now.
01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:13Shall we?
01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:25You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.
01:12:45Meghan!
01:12:50Thank you very much.
01:12:56Have a seat.
01:12:58Have a seat.
01:13:00Big feet.
