Short filmTranscript
00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day, Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth, our debts will be cleared, father's honor restored.
00:00:35It'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.
00:00:56Jane. Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windick, the Fenwick
00:01:03family will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed. If not for some old favor the Fenwicks once did the late Earl, it's hard to imagine this match
00:01:25ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:50Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:01:53The-
00:02:02To be continued some quick workers
00:02:04To be continued...
00:02:12To be continued...
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenric, that's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister, but she's the illegitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:46Why, Elizabeth, why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter, and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:58Reginald, please, not here.
00:03:00People will see.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:03Yes, my lord.
00:03:05You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord. I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation, and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:20I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40It is my honour to present to you...
00:03:44My bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding, I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormut later today.
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:33Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:00He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:05:11None of us attended
00:05:13But I've heard every detail
00:05:15They say the sister ran off
00:05:17And the younger one took her place
00:05:18Showed up in riding clothes, no less
00:05:21You do keep well informed, Dorothea
00:05:23Tell me, was she truly in riding clothes?
00:05:26Mrs. Milsom's daughter was sitting in the front rows
00:05:28She said when the cloak fell
00:05:29The entire church went silent for a full five seconds
00:05:32Five seconds?
00:05:33When was the last time you managed that?
00:05:35I've never had the pleasure of causing such a spectacle
00:05:38Poor Earl
00:05:39Poor? 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, an old debt, something of that sort
00:05:46As for the girl
00:05:48I'd wager she's some wild little country girl
00:05:50Hard carely 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
00:06:04Just 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
00:06:11You, the one picking strawberries, come here
00:06:19Are you speaking to me?
00:06:21Of course
00:06:21Who else could I be speaking to?
00:06:34Pour us some tea
00:06:41My dear, do stay for a cup of tea before you go
00:06:52Oh, how clumsy
00:06:57Lady Winfend, your tea is ready
00:06:59The housekeeper says there are new letters for your attention
00:07:02If you would come with me
00:07:09You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:21My lady
00:07:25That's my girl
00:07:27My lord
00:07:33Tell Lady Winwood that I
00:07:35Wait
00:07:40Give this to Lady Winburn
00:07:42And
00:07:45Yes, my lord
00:07:54Please excuse me
00:08:01You saw that, didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself
00:08:03Deliberate
00:08:04Every bit of it
00:08:05Pretending to be a servant
00:08:06Just to make fools of us
00:08:07Yes
00:08:08Very deliberate
00:08:09Married in riding clothes
00:08:10Picking strawberries herself
00:08:12Hair in that state
00:08:13What?
00:08:14On earth has Edward brought help
00:08:16What indeed
00:08:18I am curious how you intend to finish that sentence, Dorothea
00:08:21Who do you think you are?
00:08:22A country girl who stumbled into a title through a farzical wedding
00:08:26What right do you have?
00:08:28Today you sit in my garden
00:08:29At my table
00:08:30Drinking tea you bought yourself
00:08:31And you didn't so much announce your arrival
00:08:33If you know your cousin as you say you do
00:08:34You'd know he dislikes being disturbed
00:08:36Next time, send word ahead
00:08:38I'll have tea prepared
00:08:39Properly hot, not scolding
00:08:42My lady
00:08:42The Earl will be arriving shortly
00:08:45He asks that you come out to receive him
00:08:48Is my cousin back?
00:08:50I haven't seen him in ages
00:08:52I'll go greet him as well
00:08:54Lady Dorotha
00:08:54Lord Edward has made it clear
00:08:56That now that he is married
00:08:58All visitors are to be received
00:09:00Only with Lady Winewield's consent
00:09:12Please lead the way
00:09:14My apologies, my lady
00:09:15His lordship has been called away again
00:09:17He did, however, leave strict instructions
00:09:20That you are not to be disturbed
00:09:21This was just delivered for you
00:09:30Word has it his trip to London had less to do with business
00:09:32And more to do with rekindling an old flame
00:09:34Cecilia Marlott
00:09:36His mother's goddaughter
00:09:37They were raised together at Thornwood, apparently
00:09:42What happened after?
00:09:44She married an old duke in Wales
00:09:47Poor girl
00:09:48You feel sorry for her?
00:09:50Her husband just died
00:09:52She's inherited a fortune
00:09:55Who knows?
00:09:55She might come back
00:09:56You'd better secure Lord Edward's affections while you can
00:10:01I have not seen him since our wedding
00:10:02What?
00:10:03How could that possibly be?
00:10:05It was wrong of me to take my sister's place and marry him that day
00:10:08I never thought beyond that
00:10:11Oh my dear
00:10:12What a cruel twist of fate
00:10:14You 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
00:10:23And I've only trapped him here
00:10:32After all
00:10:33What is there between Lord Edward and me but a signature in the parish register?
00:10:37A tranquil life that suits me well enough
00:10:41So cold
00:10:48Elizabeth
00:10:48Elizabeth
00:10:49Consider this my return for the insult
00:10:51Enjoy finding your way across Thornwood with nothing on
00:11:09Oh no
00:11:10Oh no
00:11:12Oh no
00:11:29Stop
00:11:31Stop right there
00:11:33I am the Countess of Wyndham
00:11:36I command you to stop
00:11:38You have no idea what it means
00:11:40To offend the Countess of Wyndham
00:11:50My lord this is
00:11:51I can explain
00:11:54Please do not
00:11:58You may turn around now
00:12:07My lord
00:12:07This is entirely unnecessary
00:12:09I assure you I am quite capable of
00:12:12You are barefoot on flint
00:12:13Kindly be still
00:12:22My lord
00:12:24I'm here
00:12:26I still owe you an explanation
00:12:27Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:32As you can see I'm not otherwise occupied
00:12:37I took my sister's place and married you that day
00:12:39Because
00:12:41Because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten
00:12:44I see
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this
00:12:51The moment you said I do at that altar
00:12:53You fulfilled the agreement
00:12:54You owe me nothing more
00:12:56So this is all just an agreement to you?
00:12:58Nothing more?
00:12:59Is it not?
00:13:00I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean, Liz
00:13:07That's the first time he's said my name
00:13:09I understand, my lord
00:13:10Call me Edward
00:13:11I've married you
00:13:13You're my wife
00:13:14You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth
00:13:16Including the right to know your husband
00:13:31Cecilia
00:13:33Cecilia Marlow
00:13:35The girl Edward grew up with
00:13:40My lord
00:13:41Edward
00:13:42Sit down
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:47Please do
00:13:49Is there someone else you care for?
00:13:52In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:00Not in the least
00:14:01I only mean to say
00:14:03I've no objection to any other attachments you may have
00:14:06This 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
00:14:14Would you believe me?
00:14:18I, yes
00:14:19I believe I would
00:14:21I
00:14:31Elizabeth
00:14:32You are the only Lady Windorf
00:14:34I should like
00:14:36If you're willing
00:14:37To have a true marriage
00:14:40In every sense
00:14:43In every sense
00:14:45Is 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
00:15:10You are frightened
00:15:13I, I'm not
00:15:14I, I mean it would be entirely reasonable for you to
00:15:16Elizabeth
00:15:20I will not require anything of you tonight
00:15:23I beg your pardon
00:15:24You heard me
00:15:26But
00:15:26It is
00:15:27It is your right
00:15:28I am aware of what the law allows me
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow
00:15:37Good night Elizabeth
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:16:10Edward
00:16:11Edward
00:16:18This isn't helpful
00:16:47That's a...
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind
00:17:09My Lady
00:17:10Breakfast is ready
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences
00:17:32So I asked the cook to prepare a variety
00:17:38He arranged all of this
00:17:39What does he take me for?
00:17:41It 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
00:18:07Lady Wyndham
00:18:08Lady Wyndham
00:18:09How lovely to find you here
00:18:13And all on your own
00:18:16Rupert
00:18:16Rupert
00:18:17You know Lady Wyndham
00:18:18I believe
00:18:18Miss Fenwick
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford
00:18:23The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit
00:18:26Good evening, Miss Fane
00:18:28Mr. Bellamy
00:18:29Rupert and I have some happy news
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McKeelma School
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me
00:18:38Though I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional
00:18:45Years of acquaintance
00:18:46Shared society
00:18:48A genuine understanding of one another's character
00:18:50How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously
00:18:58My lady
00:19:00A message for you
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight
00:19:09Enjoy the party
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder
00:19:19Had you known
00:19:21Why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea
00:19:25I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely
00:19:30Come, Rupert
00:19:31It's been ages since I last danced
00:19:33He must indulge me this evening
00:19:52Lady Wyndham
00:19:53What a fortunate coincidence
00:19:54Mr. Bellamy
00:19:55I assume your fiancé is inside
00:19:58Ah, yes
00:19:59I stepped out for some air
00:20:01And seemed to have lost my way
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford
00:20:04Marriage suits you
00:20:06Thank you, I believe I should return home
00:20:07No need to hurry
00:20:08It's a fine night
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellamy
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth
00:20:12A woman as young as you
00:20:13As lovely as you
00:20:16Deserves far more than a cold bed
00:20:18And a husband
00:20:19That's enough
00:20:21Mr. Bellamy
00:20:22I mean it kindly
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:36My lady
00:20:37I'm coming
00:20:51Lady Wyndham
00:20:52You are going the wrong way
00:20:54Allow 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?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed
00:21:23I only wish to talk
00:21:25Then 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
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself
00:21:46From a most uncomfortable situation
00:21:47Lady Wyndham had sought me out
00:21:49Elizabeth, how dare you try and scare my fiancé
00:21:52At a gathering like this
00:21:53That is not
00:21:53I mean no disrespect
00:21:55But I am a man of honour
00:21:56And I think it best to be plain
00:21:57Good lord
00:21:58Did she really
00:22:01Try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:03I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable
00:22:07I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:09He'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation
00:22:11Now, apologise to my fiancé
00:22:14At once
00:22:15Miss Vane
00:22:16You will address me correctly
00:22:18Or you will not address me at all
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy
00:22:37My lord
00:22:38Thank god you're here
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself
00:22:42We were only trying to
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:46Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward
00:22:55Edward
00:23:03My apologies
00:23:04I seem to have arrived a moment too late
00:23:08Good lord
00:23:10Has Lord Wyndham really ruined a hundred year old young maize?
00:23:14For a wife of such low birth
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me
00:23:24Before this night is over
00:23:25You will regret it
00:23:27Yes, my lord
00:23:28Edward
00:23:29My lord
00:23:30I am your cousin
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this
00:23:34If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter
00:23:38I have over fifty others just like you
00:23:45Grateful girl
00:23:47What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:52You wretched boy
00:23:53I 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
00:24:05Home awaits us
00:24:09Edward, you must know
00:24:11I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out
00:24:13I...
00:24:13I know
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is
00:24:16I believe you, Elizabeth
00:24:18We have been married for a few days now
00:24:21We have
00:24:23And I find I know remarkably little about you
00:24:26I believe goes both ways
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that
00:24:30We might begin with a kiss
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me
00:24:36On horseback
00:24:38Out in the open in the middle of the night
00:24:40God knows how long I've waited for this moment
00:24:43You have my permission
00:25:01It's alright
00:25:02He's settled now
00:25:09We're home
00:25:13My lord
00:25:14My lady
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:26What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:28Tonight?
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected
00:25:30I seem to have expected it more than I realized
00:25:32Yes
00:25:33Shortly then
00:25:49Of course
00:25:50Of all nights, it would be this one
00:26:01Come in
00:26:05There's something I must tell you
00:26:07It concerns a domestic matter
00:26:12I see
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:18Please God
00:26:19Let him understand without making me say it outright
00:26:23Come
00:26:34No
00:26:35Not like this
00:26:38How are you feeling?
00:26:40Rather better, thank you
00:26:42Forgive me
00:26:44Elizabeth
00:26:44Yes
00:26:45Stop apologizing
00:26:46Yes, very well
00:26:51Elizabeth
00:27:18Elizabeth
00:27:31He's gone
00:27:32Of course he's gone
00:27:34I failed him last night
00:27:37Come in
00:28:01Is something wrong?
00:28:04No
00:28:05No, nothing
00:28:10I wasn't certain of your preference this morning
00:28:12Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm
00:28:14There's chocolate
00:28:15If you'd prefer it to tea
00:28:39You have
00:28:43This hand is still warm
00:28:49I thought we might out to Ravenscurred Park before week's end
00:28:54My mother has expressed a wish to receive you
00:28:58Yes
00:28:59I should like it that very much
00:29:05I should propose
00:29:07Fridays, perhaps
00:29:08For the fulfillment of our marital obligations
00:29:15Yes
00:29:16Friday would suit me perfectly well
00:29:20I feel quite confident I shall be
00:29:23Equal to my obligations by next Friday
00:29:33Whichever
00:29:34If you had to send me to someone
00:30:05Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:37Flipp.
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.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:32The woman Edward makes love to marry.
00:31:37Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:38Your 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 Adelaide summoned me, yet 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.
00:32:15She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:19After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:23I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana.
00:32:28We call her Georgie.
00:32:28Georgie, 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.
00:32:38Of 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.
00:32:45Not 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, bring 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.
00:33:05You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:17Well.
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 agreeable.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:12So it is.
00:34:14I must admit, I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:18Nor am I.
00:34:24I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:27Twenty-three.
00:34:31I see.
00:34:46I confess, I don't quite know what I meant to do with my...
00:34:51Elizabeth, you 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.
00:35:23Breathe.
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:35Aye.
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:44Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:36:02Oh, God.
00:36:06Oh, God.
00:36:27All right, you absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:34Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:37You 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 incorrible.
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.
00:37:05My... before anything else.
00:37:08Several times, in fact.
00:37:11Good lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward? 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.
00:37:25He held my hand.
00:37:29Lizzie.
00:37:32Don't.
00:37:33You like him.
00:37:36I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:44We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:57Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:02Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:15Lizzie.
00:38:16How can I pass by?
00:38:36We'll need to go.
00:38:36I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were.
00:38:40You always were.
00:38:42Edgar Lemmos.
00:38:44A viscant son.
00:38:45The summer I was fourteen he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:48Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:52Then he left for Italy.
00:38:55Is that... Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:10I 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.
00:39:17I am. Thank you.
00:39:19Give my regards to Lord Windov.
00:39:30Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:33He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not.
00:39:36Lord Windare is worth ten of him.
00:39:38You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come. The road is clear now.
00:39:49She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that out in the open road.
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:56That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward.
00:39:58I shall tell him exactly what I saw.
00:40:00And he will do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:03You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:17Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:19It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I was riding this morning, along the north road.
00:40:26I saw her.
00:40:27With a man.
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together, and he-
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:31Why yes, and he- he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end.
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:40He called her Lizzie.
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox.
00:40:44Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox.
00:40:46The Viscount's son.
00:40:48And the 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, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time,
00:41:07such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar 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.
00:41:28Did 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.
00:41:34He 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.
00:42:05Our 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 judgement.
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.
00:42:31For what?
00:42:32We'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.
00:43:05He 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 Dutcher on Thursday.
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:35Very well.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:17East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains and correspondence.
00:44:23And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:26And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:36Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to you.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:45:08My lord!
00:45:10It began in the lower story.
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.
00:45:17A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth.
00:45:21She's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Windam 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 to-
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:41I 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 that wicked adult.
00:45:57She ought to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:01Edward!
00:46:06Miss, don't!
00:46:07It's not safe in there!
00:46:09My brother!
00:46:10Henry, 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!
00:46:29How did the fire start?
00:46:30Why 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?
00:46:36Why 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.
00:46:45You have no one to rely on now.
00:46:47And as a duchess, it shall be my god-begin right to rock all over you.
00:46:50My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:54You what?
00:46:55Why?
00:46:56Elizabeth!
00:46:57Elizabeth!
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!
00:47:03How did this happen?
00:47:04Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:06No!
00:47:14She didn't write that note.
00:47:17She can't have written that note.
00:47:24It 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!
00:47:42Elizabeth, go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I...
00:48:18I 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?
00:48:29You went in there for me.
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:34Whatever am I gonna do with you?
00:48:36You.
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:58That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:01I 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.
00:49:19Cecilia.
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.
00:49:29By my mother.
00:49:31By 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...
00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:51Edgar 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. There's nothing more.
00:50:00Well then...
00:50:02Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:05Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:09It's Friday today.
00:50:11Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:12There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:15Perhaps you might like to watch the sunrise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:22Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:28May I?
00:50:30Yes, you may.
00:50:41This...
00:50:42This is what home feels like.
00:50:54The End
00:50:55My lord, the Douchage Duchess of Ravensver has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but...
00:51:00She still has not taken her leave.
00:51:04Show her in, Henry.
00:51:11Thank you for seeing me, Edward
00:51:12Say what you have come to say, Cecilia
00:51:16You know very well why I am here
00:51:18Georgiana won't see me
00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters
00:51:23And you've issued a formal notice
00:51:25I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth
00:51:27Nor at any Wyndham property in the county
00:51:29That's correct
00:51:31Edward, 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
00:51:38Yes, I recall
00:51:40I also recall that during that same autumn
00:51:42You 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
00:51:50You know I had no choice
00:51:52And you, you waited too, Edward
00:51:55All these years
00:51:57A Thornworld without a mistress, without a bride to be
00:52:00Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you
00:52:03That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward
00:52:05You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months
00:52:07And in those eight months you have come to Shropshire
00:52:10Established yourself at Ravenscore
00:52:11Cultivated my sister's trust
00:52:13And forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation
00:52:18I did what I believed
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
00:52:37And you will not come back
00:52:39No, 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, Sushi
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
00:53:29And now it's all gone up in flames
00:53:47May I come in?
00:53:49Please
00:53:50I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you
00:53:52I know
00:53:53I'm sorry
00:53:54I owe you an apology, Elizabeth
00:53:56Several, in fact
00:53:57I forgive you
00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:54:02Of course
00:54:07Georgiana
00:54:09I 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
00:54:29By the way
00:54:31You shoot better than I do
00:54:33You're not a bad shot yourself
00:54:44I'm leaving to London
00:54:45As a painter summoned by the king
00:54:48Yes
00:54:49I had heard rumours of such an arrangement
00:54:51The night of the fire
00:54:53I 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
00:55:19Edgar
00:55:25He's gone
00:55:27I know
00:55:28The king offered him a very generous commission
00:55:31He is a talented man
00:55:33It would have been a waste
00:55:35Edward
00:55:36Yes
00:55:41I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
00:55:45I'll take that as a compliment
00:55:48Come
00:55:49My lord
00:55:56Elizabeth
00:56:22The 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?
00:56:37Congratulations, my lord
00:56:41Yes
00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt
00:57:02So, we're going to have a child
00:57:08Yes
00:57:11Yes
00:57:11Yes, we are
00:57:12This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth
00:57:15Thank you
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
00:57:30The 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
00:57:54I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:55I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:55I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:55I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:55I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:56I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:57I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:57I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:58I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:58I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:59I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:57:59I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:58:00I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:58:03I'm sure you're going to have a child
00:58:08I don't know.
00:58:51Mother!
00:58:58Ah, Elizabeth.
00:59:00To 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 Windham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:32You're pregnant.
00:59:33Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:39Mother.
00:59:42I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46He'll come chasing after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
00:59:54I don't know.
00:59:58I don't know.
01:00:05I don't know.
01:00:10I don't know.
01:00:11I don't know.
01:00:11I don't know.
01:00:13I don't know.
01:00:16I don't know.
01:00:19I don't know.
01:00:21I don't know.
01:00:22I don't know.
01:00:29I don't know.
01:00:41I don't know.
01:00:43I don't know.
01:00:45I don't know.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honour.
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...
01:01:04By law, yes.
01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:17Come 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 county.
01:01:36Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:39To 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 Shrewsborough.
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,
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.
01:02:34Oh lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:37No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:42I 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?
01:03:02He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:05Mother.
01:03:05Mother.
01:03:06Mother.
01:03:07Mother.
01:03:08Mother.
01:03:15Let me tell you...
01:03:19You're welcome.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:38Four months, perhaps.
01:03:43I don't wish to go.
01:03:45I know. I know you don't.
01:03:49Elizabeth, I...
01:03:50It's Friday, you know.
01:03:59I'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.
01:04:38My 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.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady, in his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning. I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home. I find I have a great deal to tell our
01:05:23child and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward? My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door. Officers, I believe. They are carrying
01:05:37a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons from his royal highness, the prince regent. Your presence is urgently
01:05:51required in London and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:57Lady Winverd, may I have the night to prepare?
01:05:59I am afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady. The carriage is prepared.
01:06:07Very well. Allow me five minutes to gather my pains.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage. I 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. This isn't the road to London. It's the cliff road.
01:06:52Stop this carriage! Stop the carriage! Immediately!
01:07:01Lady Winverd, I'm sure you don't want to get away with me.
01:07:11Elizabeth!
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think... I think the child is coming.
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:40Your first child?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons. Who was it?
01:08:46A widow, recently returned from London. She forged the seal. She also set fire to the East Ring of my
01:08:53home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Gretnes.
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully. She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:02Thank you, your highness. And for this, for allowing us in. Don't thank me for that. Thank my wife. She
01:09:08heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:11She sounds like a formidable woman. That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord. Lady Windry is well. You 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. I beg your pardon?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage. Cut across the north field. I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then, there was a great deal of noise coming from the trees. Dogs, a horse, and a man who
01:10:48looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself. Gave me his coat before asking my name. He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes, then I told him my name. And he told me his. And neither of us went home for a
01:11:05very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are you? More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The prince regent will present honours tonight. Did 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? Cavendish? Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man. Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple. A husband.
01:11:42And wife.
01:11:44Good heavens! A joint honour? And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:50Are 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.
01:11:59When 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. This 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.
01:12:26I 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 Martiance of Thornfield.
01:12:46Latarx of Thornfield.
01:12:47Yes!
01:12:51I'm here to be where.
01:12:55To the right to be where.
01:12:56All of it is, I've got to be where.
01:13:01And I'm here to be where to win.
01:13:01Love yourلك.
01:13:02I'm here.
