00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, James marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth! This was just found in the bride's dressing room!
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. Jay.
00:00:58Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windeck, the Fenwick family
00:01:03will be ruined completely?
00:01:15The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it. Indeed. If not for some old favour the
00:01:22Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.

00:04:15where is lord edward his lordship was called away to london on urgent business
00:04:19you may move to thornwood later today
00:04:26he didn't even hear my explanation he left without signing the marriage papers
00:04:32perhaps he never meant to sign them at all
00:04:35is this some kind of punishment for taking my sister's place
00:05:01she's up for mother me
00:05:10none of us attended but i've heard every detail
00:05:15they say the sister ran off and the younger one took her place
00:05:18showed up in riding clothes no less
00:05:20you do keep well informed dorothea
00:05:23tell me was she truly in riding clothes
00:05:25mrs milsom's daughter was sitting in the front rows
00:05:28she said when the cloak fell the entire church went silent for a full five seconds
00:05:32five seconds when was the last time you managed that
00:05:35i've never had the pleasure of causing such a spectacle
00:05:38poor earl
00:05:38poor i don't think so
00:05:40he doesn't do anything out of pity
00:05:42he has his reasons
00:05:43a piece of fenwick land and old debt something of that sort
00:05:46as for the girl
00:05:47i'd wager she's some wild little country girl
00:05:50hard clearly fit for society
00:05:51likely doesn't even know her manners
00:05:59who is that over there
00:06:01a gardener or one of the maids

00:09:20this was just delivered for you

00:09:33old flame

00:16:09edward
00:16:17This isn't helpful.
00:17:04God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:07I must be out of my mind.
00:17:09My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:13Coming!
00:17:28I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:37He arranged all of this.
00:17:39What does he take me for?
00:17:40It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:54I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:06Lady Wyndham.
00:18:08How lovely to find you here.
00:18:12And all on your own.
00:18:15Rupert.
00:18:16You know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:48My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:48The understanding of one another's character.
00:18:50How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady, a message for you.
00:19:06Can not return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:09Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:17One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:22Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:25I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:29Come, Rupert.
00:19:30It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:33You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:51Lady Wyndham.
00:19:52What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:54Mr. Bellman.
00:19:55I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:57Ah, yes.
00:19:58I stepped out for some air.
00:20:00And seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:02You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:03Marriage suits you.
00:20:05Thank you, I believe I should return home.
00:20:06No need to hurry.
00:20:07It's a fine night.
00:20:08That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:10Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:11A woman as young as you.
00:20:13As lovely as you.
00:20:16Deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband who...
00:20:18That's enough!
00:20:20Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:21I mean it kindly.
00:20:33Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:36My lady.
00:20:37I'm coming.
00:20:50Lady Wyndham.
00:20:52You are going the wrong way.
00:20:54Allow me to show you out.
00:20:55I'm coming.
00:20:57I'm coming.
00:20:59I'm coming.
00:21:00I'm coming.
00:21:01I'm coming.
00:21:02Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy.
00:21:05Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:09And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed
00:21:23I only wish to talk
00:21:24Then speak from where you stand
00:21:29My dear
00:21:34Stop!
00:21:38What do you think you're doing?
00:21:42Dorothea, you must forgive me
00:21:43I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation
00:21:46Lady Winded sought me out
00:21:48Elizabeth, how dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this
00:21:52That is not...
00:21:53I mean no disrespect
00:21:53But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain
00:21:56Good lord
00:21:57Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:03I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable
00:22:06I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:08He'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation
00:22:10Now, apologise to my fiancé
00:22:13At once
00:22:14Miss Vane
00:22:15You will address me correctly
00:22:17Or you will not address me at all
00:22:19You are not worth the courtesy
00:22:36My lord
00:22:37Thank god you're here
00:22:38Lady Winford approached Rupert herself
00:22:41We were only trying to...
00:22:43When did he arrive?
00:22:44How much did he hear?
00:22:45Does he believe them?
00:22:47Are you hurt?
00:22:53Edward
00:22:53Edward
00:23:02My apologies
00:23:03I seem to have arrived a moment too late
00:23:07Good lord
00:23:08Has Lord Weidman really ruined a hundred year old young maize?
00:23:13For a wife of such low birth
00:23:19Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me
00:23:23Before this night is over, you will regret it
00:23:25Yes, my lord!
00:23:27Edward!
00:23:28What?
00:23:28My lord!
00:23:29I am your cousin!
00:23:31You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:33If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter
00:23:36I have over fifty others just like you
00:23:44Grateful girl!
00:23:46What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:50You wretched boy!
00:23:52I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money!
00:23:56How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife!
00:24:02You have endured enough
00:24:04Home awaits us
00:24:08Edward, you must know
00:24:10I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out
00:24:12I...
00:24:12I know
00:24:13I know precisely what kind of man he is
00:24:15I believe you, Elizabeth
00:24:17We have been married for a few days now
00:24:20We have
00:24:22And I find I know remarkably little about you
00:24:25I believe goes both ways
00:24:26Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that
00:24:29We might begin
00:24:31With a kiss
00:24:34He's asking to kiss me
00:24:35On horseback
00:24:37Out in the open in the middle of the night
00:24:39God knows how long I've waited for this moment
00:24:42You have my permission
00:25:00It's all right
00:25:01He's settled now
00:25:08We're home
00:25:12My lord
00:25:13My lady
00:25:21I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth
00:25:24Shortly?
00:25:25What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:26Tonight?
00:25:27I thought I had rather expected
00:25:29I seem to have expected it more than I realised
00:25:31Yes
00:25:31Shortly then
00:25:47Of course
00:25:49Of all nights
00:25:50It would be this one
00:26:00Come in
00:26:04There's something I must tell you
00:26:05It concerns a
00:26:08Domestic matter
00:26:10I see
00:26:15Does he?
00:26:16Does he truly?
00:26:17Please God
00:26:18Let him understand
00:26:19Without making me say it outright
00:26:21Come
00:26:22Come
00:26:33No
00:26:34Not like this
00:26:37How are you feeling?
00:26:39Rather better, thank you
00:26:41Forgive me
00:26:42Elizabeth
00:26:43Yes?
00:26:44Stop apologising
00:26:45Yes
00:26:46Yes
00:26:46Very well
00:26:50Elizabeth
00:26:51Elizabeth
00:26:51What are you doing?
00:27:18Elisabeth.
00:27:30He's gone, of course he's gone.
00:27:33I failed him last night.
00:27:36Come in.
00:28:00Is something wrong?
00:28:03No.
00:28:04No, nothing.
00:28:09I wasn't certain of your preference this morning.
00:28:11Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm.
00:28:13There's chocolate, if you'd prefer it to tea.
00:28:37You have.
00:28:42This hand is still warm.
00:28:48I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end.
00:28:52My mother has expressed a wish to receive you.
00:28:56Yes.
00:28:58I should like it that very much.
00:29:03I should propose Fridays, perhaps, for the fulfilment of our marital obligations.
00:29:10Uh, yes.
00:29:15Friday would suit me perfectly well.
00:29:18I feel quite confident I shall be equal to my obligations by next Friday.
00:29:24Okay.
00:29:24Go, go, go.
00:29:28Go, go, go!
00:29:31Go, go.
00:29:43Go, go, go!
00:29:45Go, go, go!
00:30:04Go on, if Vail will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:10Of course.
00:30:35Free.
00:30:50That's Edward's mother.
00:30:53She looks so young to find.
00:30:58Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:02I am...
00:31:11Lady Wyndon.
00:31:14I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:17I am Cecilia.
00:31:19Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:23She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:25That's her.
00:31:27Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:28Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:31The woman Edward wants life.
00:31:35Your grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:38Please, none of that.
00:31:39We're practically family now.
00:31:41Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:42In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden.
00:31:45Shall we?
00:31:46Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:48Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:57She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:14So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy.
00:32:17After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:22I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:25Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.
00:32:26We call her Georgie.
00:32:27Georgie, this is Elizabeth.
00:32:28Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:30And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:32I read.
00:32:32I write.
00:32:33I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:37Of course she does.
00:32:37Most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:39No offense, Elizabeth.
00:32:41It simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:44Not everyone has it.
00:32:45Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try.
00:32:47It is only fair to offer.
00:32:48Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:53A gun for beginners.
00:32:57You know your way around guns?
00:32:59Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:02Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:04You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:16Well.
00:33:19You had three.
00:33:20I shall not be greedy.
00:33:34Mother.
00:33:35Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:37She found me.
00:33:39I like her.
00:33:42So do I.
00:33:49Come in.
00:33:55My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:33:59She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:01I understand.
00:34:03Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agreeable.
00:34:09It's Friday.
00:34:10So it is.
00:34:12I must admit, I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:16Nor am I.
00:34:22I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:25Twenty-three.
00:34:29I see.
00:34:44I confess, I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:49Elizabeth.
00:34:52You are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:02The desk.
00:35:04I thought you might find it easier to begin with.
00:35:08I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:20Breathe.
00:35:23You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:32Are you ready?
00:35:34I...
00:35:35I...
00:35:38I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:42Let's begin.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:36:26All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:31I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:32Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:35You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:41surprising about the world.
00:36:43Was it?
00:36:44Was it Friday?
00:36:47You are incorrible.
00:36:49I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he...
00:36:52He was... considerate.
00:36:56Extraordinary so.
00:36:58How?
00:36:59He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:03My... before anything else.
00:37:06Several times, in fact.
00:37:09Good lord.
00:37:10That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:12And afterward, in the morning...
00:37:16He said, come back to bed.
00:37:19As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:21Only meant to return.
00:37:24He held my hand.
00:37:27Lizzie.
00:37:30Don't.
00:37:31You like him.
00:37:34I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:42We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:53We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:55Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:57There's a plank in the ditch.
00:37:59Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:02No way.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:13Lizzie.
00:38:14How can I pass with you?
00:38:27same as ever still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road the road found me i was perfectly
00:38:34innocent of course you were you always were edgar lemmerts a viscous son the summer i was 14 he

00:42:02i did our carriage came to grief in the mud he assisted with freeing the wheel
00:42:09georgiana is young and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment
00:42:13i thought you should know that i sent her right away
00:42:16he didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me
00:42:19it's because he wished to inform me he sent georgiana away
00:42:22he's telling me he stands on my side
00:42:28thank you edward

01:01:26These are private accounts, my Lord. You have no right to...
01:01:28The Fenwood Estate carries debts
01:01:30to four creditors in this council.
01:01:32Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:36To me.
01:01:36The roof you sleep under.
01:01:38The fields you work on.
01:01:39The horses in your stable.
01:01:41The papers holding your whole world together
01:01:43are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shrowsborough.
01:01:46My Lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:51I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:54Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate.
01:01:58To be used as she pleases.
01:02:01If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement,
01:02:04you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:14My wife sends her regards.
01:02:28He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:31Oh Lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:34No.
01:02:36Edward will handle everything.
01:02:39I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:41As did I.
01:02:44Elizabeth.
01:02:46Is he...
01:02:47Is he a good man, your Lord?
01:02:59He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.
01:03:14I'm sure he does it.
01:03:16He's a big man.
01:03:17He's a robotic man.
01:03:30I'm away from the hospital.
01:03:32How long will you be gone for?
01:03:34Four months, perhaps.
01:03:39I don't wish to go.
01:03:41I know. I know you don't.
01:03:45Elizabeth, I...
01:03:47It's Friday, you know.
01:03:56I'll be gentle.
01:03:57So will I.
01:03:58I know you. Don't be too gentle.
01:04:14Promise you'll write me.
01:04:17Every day.
01:04:35My lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:42set of piano keys.
01:04:43Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:48Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:49We both eagerly await your return.
01:04:59A letter from London, my lady, in his lordship's own hand.
01:05:07Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:11I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:15Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:17I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:22Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:25Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:28My lady.
01:05:29There are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:31Officers, I believe.
01:05:32They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:42Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:46Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:53May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:55I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:05:58The carriage is prepared.
01:06:03Very well.
01:06:05Allow me five minutes to gather my pains.
01:06:17My lady.
01:06:18The seal on this carriage.
01:06:20I need time to verify it.
01:06:25Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:40That sound.
01:06:42This isn't the road to London, it's the cliff road.
01:06:48Stop this carriage!
01:06:50Stop the carriage!
01:06:51Immediately!
01:06:52Immediately!
01:06:57Immediately!
01:07:06Elizabeth!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:17Elizabeth!
01:07:23Elizabeth!
01:07:33Edward!
01:07:34Take my hand!
01:07:45Edward?
01:07:46Yes?
01:07:47What is it?
01:07:48I think...
01:07:48I think the child is coming.
01:08:09My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:13Move.
01:08:36Your first child?
01:08:37Yes.
01:08:38I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road.
01:08:40The carriage, the summons.
01:08:41Who was it?
01:08:42A widow.
01:08:43Recently returned from London.
01:08:45She forged the seal.
01:08:46She also set fire to the East Ring of my home in October.
01:08:50The Dowager Grednas.
01:08:51Yes, your highness.
01:08:52I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully.
01:08:55She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:08:57Thank you, your highness.
01:08:59And for this, for allowing us in...
01:09:01Don't thank me for that.
01:09:02Thank my wife.
01:09:04She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:07She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:12That's one way to put it.
01:09:20My lord.
01:09:22Lady Windry is well.
01:09:24You have a son.
01:09:26You have a son.
01:09:36He has your eyes.
01:09:52Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:02Jane.
01:10:07Jane.
01:10:17How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:24It all started with a marsh.
01:10:26I beg your pardon?
01:10:27On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:30Cut across the north field.
01:10:32I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:35Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:38And then?
01:10:39There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:42Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:47He pulled me out himself.
01:10:48Gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:50He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:52And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:55Yes.
01:10:55Then I told him my name.
01:10:57And he told me his.
01:10:58And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:02Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:08Are you?
01:11:11More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:19The prince regent will present honors tonight.
01:11:21Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:23None at all.
01:11:25Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:27But who shall it be?
01:11:28Cavendish?
01:11:29Ashmore?
01:11:30I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:32Apparently, the honor is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:36A husband.
01:11:38And wife.
01:11:40Good heavens!
01:11:41A joint honor?
01:11:43And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:46Are you nervous?
01:11:48I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:50Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:11:59And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:03Well, things are different now.
01:12:04This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:08Shall we?
01:12:14Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:17How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:20You look magnificent.
01:12:23I know.
01:12:24And I feel magnificent.
01:12:28With the honor of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:33I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.
01:12:45Thank you so much for listening to this, and I'll see you in the next episode of this episode of
