Short filmTranscript
00:00I consider Adam my brother.
00:02He is so hostile toward you.
00:04Adam is hostile toward everyone.
00:06Don't you want to even see her try?
00:07I've seen enough people quit in my lifetime
00:09without witnessing the same thing again.
00:11I think she'll surprise you.
00:12I am attempting to find my place here
00:14and claim a degree of equanimity with my new husband.
00:18I am for Hoyk in the morning.
00:20Is something the matter with Harry?
00:21He's taken exceedingly ill as an in-between here and Hoyk.
00:24What are you intending to do?
00:25Go retrieve him, of course.
00:28Why did you not allow a physician to be summoned?
00:30This gentleman is clearly ill.
00:33I run in a charity guff.
00:35He's hoping we can do business again in the future.
00:38We will.
00:39He is so confusing.
00:41All part of his charm, Persephone.
00:44The blazes is wrong with me.
00:46This has arrived for you as well.
00:48Persephone?
00:50Devendra is dead.
01:01Harry was as impertinent as ever when I saw him an hour or so ago.
01:06I take that as an indication that he is recovering.
01:12I received a letter from my sister today.
01:15Which one?
01:17Artemis.
01:18The youngest?
01:20Yes.
01:24She dislikes her governess.
01:26Not for any legitimate reason.
01:29She feels weighed down by the continued state of mourning around the house.
01:34And she has asked, again, to be able to come here to visit.
01:44I suggested spring or summer.
01:52Of course nothing has actually been planned.
01:57We will have to go to London in the spring.
02:00After enduring society and the season, we get to return here, where it's quiet.
02:09Yes.
02:12It is decidedly quiet.
02:34How are you feeling?
02:35Hmm.
02:38Much improved.
02:40Being away from the boar and dagger has contributed greatly to my welfare.
02:44Then you'll be pleased to know it will not be a source of misery any longer.
02:48It is to be shuttered.
02:50Immediately.
02:54Shuttered?
02:56A closer look at Smith's history and practices made closing the place absolutely necessary.
03:01Any man who would withhold food, warmth, medical aid, and the ability to send for help when a person is
03:06in distress, and has done so, time and again, ought not be running an inn.
03:15First you rush to my rescue.
03:19Then you vanquish the villain who tortured me.
03:23Watch yourself, Adam.
03:29People will begin to think you care.
03:31Shut up, Harry.
03:42Barton!
03:46What is that infernal noise?
03:50I believe that would be described as lively conversation, Your Grace.
03:53And who is responsible for such lively conversation?
03:58Mrs. Poynter.
04:00No doubt the vicar is here as well.
04:02No doubt.
04:04Are you feeling quite yourself today, Barton?
04:06I assure you, I feel better than I have in years, Your Grace.
04:10It sounds as though Faustin is infested with birds.
04:17A full tea!
04:19I believe Cook was exceptionally excited at the prospect of preparing a tea tree once more.
04:26It's been a while here, Grace.
04:28How is it, Barton, that the vicar and his wife came to be in my drawing room?
04:33I do not recall altering the requirement that all guests be informed that I am not at home.
04:40The vicar was quite specific about seeing her, Grace.
04:44When I presented the Duchess with Mr. Poynter's card, I thought she'd actually run down the stairs.
04:50She was so pleased to have called us.
04:53How long have the Poynter's been here?
04:55Only a few minutes, Your Grace.
04:57A few minutes is more than most get!
05:05Of course.
05:07Would you like a cup of tea, Adam?
05:08No.
05:10It is a pleasure to see you again, Your Grace.
05:12I doubt that.
05:13What precisely is the reason for your visit here?
05:16Social call, of course.
05:17Of course.
05:18When in the fifteen years that you have served as vicar, has Faustin Castle ever received visitors?
05:23Not once, Your Grace.
05:24Not once.
05:25What has led you to believe that that has changed?
05:29Wishful thinking?
05:30There will be no callers at Faustin Castle.
05:33Not today.
05:34Not in the future.
05:36Faustin Castle is not receiving, Your Grace, or you are not receiving?
05:42It is the same.
05:44Forgive me.
05:45It is not.
05:47Thank you for your hospitality, Your Grace.
05:52Do you come again?
05:55I will see you on Sunday.
06:00Do not lose hope.
06:02Happiness can be found even in dark times.
06:04Persephone doesn't get to be happy.
06:07That is the ending of the myth according to my youngest sister.
06:10Ah, but it is the ending of the tale according to you that matters most.
06:13You might as well stay and finish your tea.
06:20Cook will be offended if the tray is sent back untouched.
06:24Do sit, dear.
06:26Do try the lemon cake.
06:30Pardon?
06:35Are you sure you wouldn't care for some tea?
06:41I didn't know I was supposed to turn them away.
06:46They might as well finish their tea.
06:49I thought no one wanted to meet me.
06:51I doubt anyone in the neighborhood even made the attempt.
06:55So I could visit the neighbors?
06:56No.
06:59No.
07:01They may attempt to return the favor.
07:04But I...
07:04I will not have Faustin Castle overrun with people.
07:11Of course not.
07:13Thank you for allowing the pointers to remain.
07:15I have been enjoying their visit.
07:22You, of course,
07:24will owe Mrs. Poynter a visit.
07:26I understand she entertains half the county on a regular basis.
07:31I could...
07:32meet the neighbors that way then.
07:36If you want to.
08:10who else was at the vicarage?
08:11Mrs. Milston and her daughter, Lady Hedisham, Miss Greenborough.
08:15Hmm.
08:16What did you think of our resident spinster?
08:19She was very quiet, so I was not able to form much of an opinion of her.
08:23But Stephanie?
08:28It's for me.
08:29You should read it.
08:33Your Grace, Lord, your Empress, Lord of the Admiralty, as relayed to me your inquiries regarding two midshipmen aboard the
08:39HMS Triumphant.
08:43Evander Lancaster, as you have been informed, succumbed to injury sustained at Trafalgarinus.
08:47With most lost at that time, he's been buried in a cemetery on Trafalgarinus alongside his fallen shipmates.
08:54Go on, Persephone.
08:57There's not bad news.
09:01Midshipman Linus Lancaster.
09:05Sustained only minor wounds in that battle and remains aboard the Triumphant.
09:12He will as requested be granted surely when we return the home board.
09:20The other missive is from Linus.
09:25Linus has written to me.
09:30I don't know how you managed this, Adam.
09:33You needed answers.
09:35I simply ensured you received them.
09:38This is by far the kindest thing any person has ever done for me, Adam.
09:42Thank you so, so much.
10:02You did that very well.
10:15I just kissed Persephone.
10:18Hmm.
10:19I noticed.
10:22And, um...
10:26I think Persephone noticed as well.
10:29Which is a good thing, really.
10:31If she hadn't even realized we were kissing her, one would begin to wonder about your technique.
10:36Oh, shh.
10:37I know.
10:38Shut up, Harry.
10:52They're getting louder.
11:02Thank you for my letter, Adam.
11:07Linus sounds happy.
11:09He didn't mention Evander, which worries me a little.
11:13It was always his way to avoid topics that were upsetting.
11:20But he did promise to keep writing.
11:28You don't like it when I thank you for the things that you do.
11:35But I really am grateful.
11:40If only you could do something about the wolves.
11:56You don't like it before.
11:57This is the feeling of doing something about the wolves.
11:57You wouldn't like it.
11:59You wouldn't like it.
11:59You would like it.
12:00You would be the same way.
12:00You would like it before.
12:00Hey, how did you want it?
12:03You would like it when you want it.
12:09You would like it when you lose your foundation.
12:10I never thought it was as good as you.
12:21Persephone?
12:30Persephone.
12:36What happened?
12:38You were thrown from a horse.
12:41Are you hurt? Can you sit up?
12:44I don't know.
12:48Let me help you.
12:50Careful.
12:57Does anything hurt?
13:00You asked me that already.
13:01A person can be killed being thrown from a horse.
13:04Until I'm certain you are not hurt, I'm going to keep asking you questions.
13:12What happened?
13:14I can't explain it, Your Grace.
13:16It's almost like something spoke the horse.
13:19We were fortunate she didn't come to serious harm.
13:22Yes, Your Grace.
13:26Your Abigail can have a hot bath prepared.
13:29That should help with any stiffness.
13:31There really is no need for this much fuss.
13:35When you're too stiff to come down for dinner, you'll disagree.
13:38Careful.
13:41There you are.
13:44That is very kind of you, Adam.
13:47You were thrown from a horse, Persephone.
13:50Any decent gentleman would be concerned.
13:58I can have the kitchen send up a tray if you would rather not come down for dinner.
14:01I really am feeling fine already.
14:05I think I was more startled than anything else.
14:10When I'm a little more sure of myself, might I come riding with you and Harry?
14:18Atlas can't keep pace with Zeus.
14:21Couldn't you rein Zeus in a little or let me join you at the end of your ride once Zeus
14:26has slowed down?
14:30Zeus is impatient.
14:32He might make Atlas nervous.
14:35Couldn't I at least try?
14:40I would rather you not take that chance.
14:44But you would be there.
14:48Yes, but that is no guarantee.
15:04I'm sorry.
15:07No.
15:09I... Adam!
15:35Ridiculous.
15:36It is too blasted quiet in here.
15:59What the blazes is taking from?
16:03Sir, you are awake.
16:04Adam!
16:05Are you stiff from your fall?
16:07Does it hurt to walk?
16:11They are loud tonight.
16:17How long do you plan to sit at that window and worry about wolves?
16:19Until they stop.
16:24You should have come in when they first started.
16:28Come in?
16:29And curled up on the bed, wrapped up in that blanket.
16:33You knew?
16:35I...
16:37I thought you were asleep.
16:39Asleep?
16:40Oh, I can't sleep.
16:42You've ruined the room for me.
16:43What do you mean I've ruined it?
16:45My bedchamber used to be quiet.
16:47And then you started coming in and making all those noises while you're sleeping.
16:51I make noises?
16:52And you move constantly.
16:55Loud noises?
16:56What?
16:56No.
16:58No, like a puppy.
17:02Little noises.
17:04And that doesn't bother you?
17:06I've grown used to it.
17:08I don't want...
17:09I don't want...
17:10to bother you.
17:13You won't.
17:17The wolves don't worry me as much in your bedchamber.
17:23Are they quieter than here?
17:26No.
17:28The way I forget it.
17:30If the pack ever actually makes it into the castle, they'll eat you first.
17:44Good night, Adam.
17:47Good night, Persephone.
17:49Good night.
17:56Good night, Persephone.
18:03Why did you decide to get married?
18:11At the time, it seemed like a good idea.
18:19Does it now?
18:28Well, Mrs. Adcock said you would.
18:31Said I would what?
18:33Regret marrying me.
18:42When I visited the vicarage several days ago, Mrs. Adcock said that most
18:49gentlemen who pay for a wife regret the purchase in the end.
18:55It was blatantly obvious she was referring to our marriage settlement.
19:00Mrs. Adcock had mentioned her sizeable dowry at least a dozen times, so I happened to ask
19:07Lady Hedisham loudly enough for Mrs. Adcock to hear whether or not it seemed odd that
19:14some ladies found it necessary to offer money to a prospective bridegroom in order to bring
19:20him up to scratch.
19:22No gentleman would accept a horse so ill-recommended that he had to be bribed to accept it.
19:32I thought Mrs. Adcock's tea would come flying out her ears.
19:36She looked so livid.
19:38Were you compared her to a horse?
19:42I doubt even I could produce such a cunning retort while done, Persephone.
19:45I have not pulled caps with anyone in years.
19:49I'm not ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it.
19:53I felt like a regular warrior.
19:57Perhaps before I next call at the vicarage I should try on one of the suits of armour
20:01for size.
20:02I could check the armoury for a jousting lance and simply unseat my adversary as she rides
20:06up to the vicarage.
20:08I would be the terror of the neighbourhood.
20:13Well, if it comes to full combat, let me know.
20:16I'm rather handy with a crossbow.
20:18Maybe Harry could be our page and we could go conquer Adcock Manor.
20:22Oh, Harry would make an abysmal page.
20:25He might be trusted with a battle axe though.
20:30We would make a wonderfully fearsome team.
20:36You see, Adam, marriage to me might not be such a terrible thing for you after all.
21:05You see, Adam?
21:22Are you wishing a ride today, Your Grace?
21:24His alibi is still unhappy.
21:26You said he doesn't like the cold.
21:29No, it's not just the cold.
21:30He was treated badly before.
21:33Doesn't trust people.
21:35Figures they treated him bad before, they'll treat him bad again.
21:39But no one here would ever hurt him.
21:41Nah, it doesn't matter.
21:43They'll not give you a chance to...
21:46They'll fight you till holy perdition, that one.
21:50Seems like a lost cause.
21:52Why keep trying?
21:54There's no lost causes, Your Grace.
21:57Every creature needs someone who can save them.
22:00If they'll only try.
22:03There's many hope when you're the sort who tries.
22:07This...
22:08Poor creature...
22:10Seems so angry.
22:13More afraid than few years.
22:16Been afraid for years.
22:19Why?
22:21What happened?
22:24Got torn apart and left behind.
22:28Decided to bite before anyone bit first.
22:31If nobody gets close...
22:35Nobody can hurt him.
22:53Welcome back.
22:54Good morning to you, Persephone.
22:55Good morning.
22:58Good morning, Adam.
22:59Good morning.
23:01Are you wanting to ride?
23:02I was thinking about it.
23:04If you do, I fear we'll be forced to postpone our siege.
23:08You two are planning a siege.
23:15Why do I get the feeling my presence is not particularly appreciated just now?
23:19I would think, Harry, that you would feel that way often.
23:23If you go now, you'll have plenty of time to pack.
23:25But you'll miss me.
23:26I never miss anyone.
23:31I'm sorry.
23:33I know.
23:45Hmm.
23:53I know.
23:55I know.
23:55I know.
23:55I know.
23:57I know.
23:58saying that Persephone has left you
24:00already. Thank you, Mother.
24:05Adam?
24:07May I talk with you for a moment?
24:15Mrs. Smithson skipped
24:16this room when she gave me my tour.
24:19I haven't ever
24:20been in here.
24:23No one ever comes
24:24into this room.
24:26I am overstepping myself.
24:27No.
24:28No.
24:43Who is this you're standing beside, Adam?
24:46My father.
24:48I thought he must be.
24:50You look very much like him.
24:53Do I?
24:54You have the same eyes.
24:57And there is something similar about your mouth
24:59and the shape of your face.
25:01And, of course, you both have dark hair.
25:05I suppose there is a resemblance.
25:10Your nose is your mother's.
25:12I noticed that when I first saw
25:13the two of you together.
25:19Are you like him in other ways?
25:22My father?
25:23Hmm.
25:28I hope so.
25:37You wanted to speak to me about something.
25:42The triumphant will make port
25:44the last week of November.
25:46Linus will be granted three weeks,
25:48surely.
25:48Isn't that wonderful?
25:49Yes.
25:50The triumphant will be docking at Newcastle.
25:52I could be there and see him
25:54before he departs for Shropshire.
25:56Be there?
25:58In Newcastle?
25:59I wouldn't be gone more than a day or two.
26:02Of course, I would want to see him off as well,
26:04which would mean going back
26:05when the triumphant sets out again.
26:08You cannot go.
26:14Please, Adam.
26:17It would only be a few days.
26:19I...
26:22I need to see him for myself.
26:24I need to know that he is well and whole.
26:27To have even a moment
26:29with the only brother I have left,
26:30this is important to me, Adam.
26:34Things of importance to me should matter.
26:44What if he came here?
26:45But you don't allow visitors.
26:47It makes more sense
26:48than you journeying to Newcastle twice.
26:51Linus could come to Fauston
26:52before going to see your family.
26:54Do you mean it?
26:56I don't say anything.
26:57I don't mean.
26:59It wouldn't be too much of an imposition.
27:03I'd very much like to meet the boy myself.
27:06Really?
27:08Linus might make a great addition to our siege.
27:12Harry would probably faint dead away
27:14at the first battle cry.
27:15Oh.
27:20Thank you, Adam.
27:36Why do you never leave?
27:39Good afternoon to you, too.
27:43Answer the question.
27:46Is this a pointed interrogation?
27:48More of an intellectual discussion.
27:50Intellectual discussion.
27:55Why do I never leave?
27:59Because I like Fauston.
28:00Why?
28:01Free food.
28:01I'm in earnest.
28:02I need you to be as well.
28:03The food is nothing to disregard.
28:04Cook is a miracle worker.
28:10Aside from that,
28:14Fauston is familiar.
28:15It's comfortable.
28:17So you feel the same way
28:18about the house in London.
28:20You spend a lot of time there as well.
28:21And you've come with me to Kent a few times.
28:24This is a pointed interrogation, isn't it?
28:28Look, if you're trying to tell me
28:29to make myself scarce
28:30now that you're married,
28:31I completely understand.
28:32No, it's not that at all.
28:37Then what is it?
28:42I want to know
28:44why you've stayed around
28:46all these years.
28:48We're friends, Adam.
28:50Friends don't just
28:52jump ship.
28:53I think your answer
28:54about the food
28:54was more honest.
28:56Did it ever occur to you
28:57that I sincerely consider you
28:58a friend?
29:01My...
29:04best friend,
29:05in fact.
29:09Because of her, oh?
29:12It may have started that way.
29:14You saved my skin.
29:17So I worshipped you for a while.
29:19A bit like an idol
29:20who could ward off evil spirits,
29:23I suppose.
29:26But then...
29:28Then you landed me a facer
29:30for something stupid I did.
29:32Or said.
29:33I remember that quite well,
29:35but not what we were scuffling up.
29:37And we were sent down.
29:39My parents were away,
29:40so we came here.
29:44In those two weeks
29:45of our expulsion,
29:47I met
29:50Adam Boyce.
29:51The Duke of Kilda?
29:52Ho!
29:54Still scared the guts out of me.
29:55But Adam Boyce
29:57was just a boy
29:59like me.
30:04Why the sudden interest
30:06in our colourful childhood?
30:10I don't know.
30:19I don't know.
30:35It looks frigid out there,
30:37doesn't it?
30:39It does.
30:43Persephone looks cold, Adam.
30:45You should go and keep her warm.
30:49Keep her?
30:51The fact that my suggestion
30:53confuses you
30:54does not bode well.
30:58My friend,
31:01it didn't...
31:05It didn't confuse me.
31:23She is lonely
31:24in this empty castle.
31:29Just as Mother was.
31:37Persephone.
31:42I heard them, Adam.
31:43The walls,
31:44they're inside Fauston.
31:45They are still
31:45outside the castle.
31:46They're so loud.
31:47They sound so much closer.
31:49They are not
31:49inside the castle walls,
31:51Persephone.
31:52Are you certain?
31:54Absolutely.
31:57Have tea sent up
31:58to my book room.
31:59Yes, he agrees.
32:11I know
32:12I shouldn't be so afraid
32:14of them,
32:14but the howling
32:16sends chills
32:17through me.
32:20I will have my steward
32:21check on the pack
32:22so you can breathe
32:22more easily.
32:24I had always been told
32:25that there were
32:26no more wolves
32:27in England.
32:28Our pack
32:29is descended
32:30from the last
32:30of the wolves
32:31that roamed the area
32:33and the wild dogs
32:35that called
32:35the forest home.
32:36Are they
32:38less vicious
32:39than true wolves,
32:40then?
32:43They are more wolf
32:44than anything else,
32:46but they always
32:46give the castle
32:47a wide berth.
33:00I think...
33:05I think we should
33:06hold a ball.
33:07A ball?
33:08Unless you don't
33:08want to.
33:09I assumed you
33:10wouldn't want to.
33:11It would mean
33:12a lot of people
33:13in the castle.
33:18Every bride
33:19should have a ball.
33:23We are still
33:24in mourning.
33:27I think a wedding
33:28ball would be
33:30permissible.
33:33Do you mean...
33:39You don't say
33:40things you don't
33:41mean.
33:44No.
33:47No, I don't.
33:52Yes.
33:53Adam.
33:54We should host
33:56a ball at
33:56Fauston.
34:00Adam suggested it.
34:03Adam.
34:05As in the Adam
34:06I know.
34:06I am as surprised
34:07as you are.
34:09He's been doing
34:10a lot of
34:11uncharacteristic
34:11things lately.
34:13Barton says
34:14Cook is in tears.
34:15What did you do
34:16to her?
34:17I didn't do
34:17anything to her.
34:19She's informed
34:19about the
34:19upcoming ball.
34:20She's that
34:21upset about it.
34:21She's that
34:22pleased about it.
34:23She's been reduced
34:23to weeping
34:24at the kitchen
34:24work table.
34:26How has the
34:26rest of the
34:27staff reacted?
34:28Mrs. Smithson
34:29is rushing about
34:30as though the
34:30ball is this
34:31evening instead
34:31of three weeks
34:32from now and
34:33Barton has simply
34:34begun grinning
34:34when he thinks
34:35I'm not looking.
34:36Three weeks
34:36from now?
34:37But Adam
34:38Linus is coming
34:39in three weeks
34:39time.
34:40Please tell me
34:41you haven't changed
34:42your mind about
34:42his visit.
34:43Of course not
34:44Persephone.
34:45He can be here
34:46for the ball.
34:50Why the sudden
34:51urge to entertain
34:52Adam?
34:53First you invite
34:54Persephone's brother
34:56and the ball
34:56will bring every
34:57family of consequence
34:58in the northern
34:59half of England
34:59to Falston
35:00at the same
35:01time.
35:02That is precisely
35:03the sort of thing
35:04that makes you
35:05miserable.
35:05I don't want you
35:06to be miserable.
35:07I will not be
35:08miserable.
35:09He will simply
35:09make the rest
35:10of us miserable.
35:11Perhaps you should
35:12put an end to the
35:13entire thing
35:13and save us
35:14the suffering.
35:15Shut up Harry.
35:19Harry is not
35:20nearly persuasive
35:21enough to convince
35:22me to cancel
35:23Linus's visit.
35:24There is no need
35:25to worry over that.
35:26But there is.
35:28You tell me to
35:29trust you
35:29but I don't know
35:30that I can.
35:31There is so much
35:32I don't know
35:33about you Adam
35:34so much I don't
35:35understand
35:36and that frightens
35:37me.
35:40I frighten you?
35:41That isn't
35:42what I said.
35:43It really isn't.
35:44Shut up Harry.
35:47I am happy to
35:48see I am a
35:49unifying force.
35:50At the moment
35:50Harry Windover
35:51you are a
35:52frustrating force.
35:53Harry now would
35:53be a perfect
35:54opportunity for a
35:55timely exit.
35:56In taken.
36:03I have faults
36:04Persephone
36:06like any other
36:07man.
36:08But I am not
36:09a liar.
36:12I was raised
36:13by a man
36:14who valued
36:15honesty
36:15and loyalty
36:17and keeping
36:18one's word.
36:21Now I have
36:22promised you
36:22that your brother
36:23will visit you
36:23here
36:23and that
36:24Faustin Castle
36:25will host a ball
36:26and no one
36:27not Harry
36:27not anyone else
36:28will browbeat
36:30me into going
36:31back on that
36:31promise to you.
36:34On any promise
36:35to you.
36:37I want to
36:38believe that.
36:40And your
36:41happiness does
36:41matter.
36:43You should
36:44believe that
36:45too.
36:47I'm beginning
36:48to.
37:11Good afternoon.
37:13You look a bit
37:14unwell, poor boy.
37:17I'm fine.
37:18I was just
37:19telling Persephone
37:20of all the
37:21wonderful balls
37:22we used to
37:23have here
37:23at the castle.
37:24Even the
37:25London papers
37:26were full of
37:27every detail
37:28of the evening.
37:29Who attended,
37:30the decorations,
37:32the menu.
37:35Faustin balls
37:36were positively
37:38legendary.
37:39I'm certain
37:39our ball
37:40will be far
37:40less elaborate.
37:41Well that's
37:41why I've
37:42rushed back.
37:43It could
37:44be extraordinary.
37:46A few changes
37:47to the menu.
37:48Perhaps a
37:48more dramatic
37:49decorating scheme.
37:51It is enough
37:51that there will
37:52be people here.
37:53That should
37:54be plenty
37:55to fill the
37:55London papers
37:56with pages
37:57of shocked
37:57commentary.
38:00The castle's
38:01always been
38:02more pleasant
38:02when it's
38:03been festive.
38:05Mrs. Smithson
38:05and I have
38:06discussed the
38:06menu and the
38:07preparations.
38:08I am quite
38:09satisfied with
38:09what we've
38:10chosen.
38:11Hmm.
38:12Satisfied
38:13and pleased
38:14are not
38:14the same
38:15thing.
38:16You'll be
38:17desperate to
38:18leave before
38:18long if
38:19something's not
38:19done to
38:20liven the
38:20place.
38:21We are
38:21holding a
38:22ball,
38:22mother.
38:23That has
38:23always been
38:23enough
38:24festiveness
38:24for you
38:25to return
38:25to Faustin.
38:28It sounds
38:28to me like
38:29it's hardly
38:30a ball.
38:33I
38:35suppose the
38:36arrangements
38:37could be
38:37made a bit
38:38more extensive.
38:41No, I
38:41sound just
38:42like
38:42father.
38:43I assure
38:44you both
38:44I am
38:45satisfied
38:46and pleased
38:47with our
38:47current
38:47arrangements.
38:48They suit
38:49my preferences.
38:50You really
38:51must let me
38:52help with
38:53future
38:53entertainments.
38:54We could
38:55hold ever so
38:56many, both
38:57here and in
38:57London.
38:58You'll have
38:59far too much
38:59fun to be
39:00unhappy.
39:04If you'll
39:05please
39:05excuse me.
39:14all of
39:15the balls
39:15you held
39:15for mother
39:16weren't
39:16enough to
39:17keep her
39:17here,
39:17so why
39:18the blasted
39:18blazes
39:19am I
39:19trying the
39:20same
39:20approach?
39:21Dukes
39:22don't need
39:22people,
39:23you said.
39:24We're
39:24better off
39:24without her.
39:27But Stephanie
39:28will leave
39:28too.
39:28In the end,
39:29everyone does.
39:36You will
39:37hurt your
39:37hand if you
39:37keep doing
39:38that.
39:41Go eat
39:42your dinner,
39:42Persephone.
39:45I intend
39:45to.
39:49On the
39:49desk we'll
39:50be fine.
39:54I'm not
39:55hungry.
39:56Perhaps
39:57not, but
39:57I am.
40:06Mother
40:07is taking
40:08her meal
40:08with Harry.
40:10I am
40:10eating here.
40:12No one
40:13eats in
40:13this room.
40:14You would
40:15rather I
40:15starve?
40:16If you
40:17are truly
40:17on the
40:17verge of
40:18expiring
40:18then by
40:18all means
40:21take some
40:22nourishment.
40:34Blasted.
40:35it does
40:36smell good,
40:37doesn't it?
40:37What a
40:37shame you
40:38aren't
40:38hungry.
40:39Is that
40:39a hint,
40:40Persephone?
40:41A hint?
40:43You are
40:44trying to
40:44convince me
40:45to join
40:45you.
40:47This is
40:47for me.
40:48If you
40:48want
40:48something,
40:48you will
40:48have to
40:49send to
40:49the kitchen
40:49for it
40:49yourself.
40:54You
40:54plan to
40:54eat an
40:55entire
40:55chicken?
40:56It is
40:57not an
40:57entire
40:57chicken.
40:59I'm not
40:59such a
40:59very large
41:00one at
41:00that.
41:00In
41:00fact,
41:01it is
41:01a
41:01very
41:02good
41:02thing.
41:03There is
41:03plenty
41:03to go
41:04with it.
41:04Otherwise,
41:05I would
41:05be in
41:05very
41:05real
41:05danger
41:06of
41:06wasting
41:06away.
41:17You
41:18didn't
41:18expect
41:18me
41:19to
41:19eat
41:19an
41:19entire
41:19chicken,
41:20did
41:20you?
41:33Thank
41:33you
41:33for
41:34the
41:34dinner,
41:35Persephone.
41:37Thank
41:38you for
41:38allowing
41:39the ball,
41:40for
41:41inviting
41:41Linus
41:42to
41:42visit.
41:44It
41:44is nice
41:45having
41:45something
41:45to look
41:46forward
41:46to.
42:03Would
42:03you
42:03like
42:03having
42:04more
42:04balls
42:05and
42:05entertainments?
42:08I
42:09would

42:20though
42:21I'll
42:21never
42:21see
42:21them
42:21again.
42:25They

42:26well
42:26go
42:27to
42:27London
42:27for
42:27the
42:27season.
42:28You
42:29could
42:29see
42:29them
42:29there.
42:31You
42:31could
