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.

00:30:12Of course.

00:30:37Three.

00:30:53That's Edward's mother.

00:30:55She 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.

00:31:25She 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 wants life.

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.

00:31:47Shall we?

00:31:48Lady Adelaine summoned me.

00:31:49Yet 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.

00:32:16So, 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.

00:32:30Ah, 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 shall not be greedy.

00:33:36Mother.

00:33:37Where on earth did you find her?

00:33:39She found me.

00:33:41I like her.

00:33:44So do I.

00:33:51Come in.

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

00:34:01She 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.

00:34:13I must admit.

00:34:16I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.

00:34:18Nor am I.

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

00:34:2723.

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.

00:35:43Let's begin.

00:35:46Let's begin.

00:35:47Let's begin.

00:40:33he took hold of her sleeve

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

00:40:46the 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

00:40:52you followed her

00:40:54no

00:40:55i just happened to be passing by

00:40:56georgiana

00:41:00elizabeth is lady windworm

00:41:01she is the mistress of this house

00:41:03whom she encounters on the road

00:41:05with whom she speaks

00:41:06with whom she spends her time

00:41:07such matters are of importance to her and her alone

00:41:09you should have married a true lady

00:41:11not some vulgar country woman

00:41:13go home georgina

00:41:19edgar lennox

00:41:23my lady

00:41:24his 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

00:41:32and i quote precisely

00:41:33take you out for a ride

00:41:35he mentioned the north meadow

00:41:38please convey to his lordship

00:41:39that 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

00:42:07he assisted with freeing the wheel

00:42:12georgiana is young

00:42:13and 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

00:42:20because he sought to question me

00:42:22it's because he wished to inform me

00:42:24he sent georgiana away

00:42:25he's telling me he stands on my side

00:42:30thank you edward

00:42:31for what

00:42:32we'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

00:42:41the 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

00:43:05he is a loyal man always has been

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

00:43:21each 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

00:44:19it's three stories of curtains and correspondence

00:44:23and everything edward window has ever cared to preserve

00:59:46You've come chasing 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.

01:01:05By law, yes.

01:01:30These are private accounts, my Lord.

01:01:32You have no right to...

01:01:32The Fenwood estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.

01:01:37Two 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 Shrewsbury.

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.

01:02:05If 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.

01:02:18My 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.

01:02:37No.

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.

01:03:15He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.

01:03:17Now let me tell you

01:03:20Baby, it's working

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

01:03:38Four 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...

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

01:04:00I'll be gentle.

01:04:01So will I.

01:04:03Don't be too gentle.

01:04:16I promise you'll write me.

01:04:22Every day.

01:04:39My Lord.

01:04:40It is the 14th of March

01:04:42and your child has spent this morning

01:04:44using my ribs as a set of piano keys.

01:04:47Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy

01:04:49and that it shouldn't be much longer now.

01:04:52Come home soon, Edward.

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

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

01:05:06In his lordship's own hand.

01:05:11Elizabeth,

01:05:12your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.

01:05:15I have read it four times, front to back.

01:05:18Today I write to tell you I am coming home.

01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child

01:05:24and even more to tell you.

01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?

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

01:05:33My 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,

01:05:47we are here to deliver a summons

01:05:48from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.

01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London

01:05:53and the matter is one of considerable importance.

01:05:58May 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,

01:06:30I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.

01:06:44That sound.

01:06:46This isn't the road to London.

01:06:48It's the Cliff Room.

01:06:53Stop this carriage!

01:06:54Stop the carriage!

01:06:55Immediately!

01:06:56Immediately!

01:07:10Elizabeth!

01:07:13Elizabeth!

01:07:14Elizabeth!

01:07:15Elizabeth!

01:07:16Elizabeth!

01:07:17Elizabeth!

01:07:18Elizabeth!

01:07:22Elizabeth!

01:07:25Elizabeth!

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.

01:08:13My 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?

01:08:47A 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 Gretners?

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.

01:09:07Thank my wife.

01:09:08She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.

01:09:12She sounds like a formidable woman.

01:09:16That's one way to put it.

01:09:25My lord, Lady Windery is well.

01:09:28You have a son.

01:09:30You have a son.

01:09:40He has your eyes.

01:09:45Why am I there?

01:09:56Her Royal Highness, the Princess Regent.

01:10:07Jane.

01:10:21How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become Princess Regent?

01:10:28It all started with a marsh.

01:10:30I beg your pardon?

01:10:32On 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 and 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.

01:12:03And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.

01:12:07Well, things are different now.

01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.

01:12:13Shall we?

01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?

01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...

01:12:25You 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,

01:12:38I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.

01:12:49Thank you very much.
