00:00:52i'm so sorry it had to be you who found this don't come looking for me jay
00:00:59do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the earl of wyndick
00:01:02the fenwick family will be ruined completely
00:01:16the fenwicks were once a distinguished family before sir reginald ruined it indeed if not for
00:01:21some old favor the fenwicks once did the late earl it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered
00:01:25at 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
00:01:57so
00:01:58I don't know.
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenric.
00:02:35That's the younger sister.
00:02:36The younger sister?
00:02:37But she's...
00:02:38The legitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth?
00:02:49Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter
00:02:53and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:58Reginald, please.
00:02:59Not here.
00:03:00People will see.
00:03:02Miss Fenric.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:06You are not Miss Jane Fenric.
00:03:09Yes, my lord.
00:03:10I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation
00:03:13and 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...
00:03:22I 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,
00:03:38I 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,
00:04:00I 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 Thornwood later today.
00:04:21Shh!
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?
00:04:46Yes!
00:05:00You little hiya.
00:05:02She hello.
00:05:02Yes.
00:05:11None of us attended, but I've heard every detail.
00:05:15They say the sister ran off, and the younger one took her place.
00:05:19Showed 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, 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. Poor? I don't think so.
00:05:41He doesn't do anything out of pity. He has his reasons.
00:05:44A piece of Fenwick land, an old debt, something of that sort.
00:05:47As for the girl, I'd wager she's some wild little country girl.
00:05:50Hard carely fit for society. Likely 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. Who 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.
00:07:00The 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?
00:07:18You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:21My lady.
00:07:26That's my girl.
00:07:28My lord.
00:07:33Tell Lady Windward that I...
00:07:35Wait.
00:07:40Give this to Lady Windward.
00:07:43And...
00:07:44Yes, my lord.
00:07:54Please excuse me.
00:08:01You saw that, didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself.
00:08:04Deliberate.
00:08:04Every bit of it.
00:08:05Pretending to be a servant just to make fools of us.
00:08:07Yes.
00:08:08Very deliberate.
00:08:09Married in riding clothes.
00:08:11Picking strawberries herself.
00:08:12Hair in that state.
00:08:14What?
00:08:14On earth has Edward brought hope?
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 brought yourself.
00:08:31And you didn't seem to announce your arrival.
00:08:33If you know your cousin as you say you do.
00:08:35You'd know he dislikes being disturbed.
00:08:37Next 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 Dorothea, Lord Edward, has made it clear that now that he is married,
00:08:58all visitors are to be received only with Lady Winewield's consent.
00:09:12Please lead the way.
00:09:13My apologies, my lady.
00:09:15His lordship has been called away again.
00:09:17He did, however, leave strict instructions that 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 and more to do with rekindling an
00:09:34old flame.
00:09:35Cecilia Marlott, his mother's goddaughter.
00:09:37They were raised together at Thornwood, apparently.
00:09:41What 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.
00:09:57You'd better secure Lord Edward's affections while you can.
00:10:01I have not seen him since our wedding.
00:10:03What?
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.
00:10:13What a cruel twist of fate.
00:10:15You 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, what is there between Lord Edward and me but a signature in the parish register?
00:10:36A tranquil life that suits me well enough.
00:10:41So cold.
00:10:48Elizabeth.
00:10:49Consider this my return for the insult.
00:10:52Enjoy finding your way across Thornwood with nothing on.
00:11:09Oh, no.
00:11:11Oh, no.
00:11:15Oh, no.
00:11:25Who's there?
00:11:30Stop!
00:11:31Stop right there!
00:11:34I'm the Countess of Wyndham.
00:11:36I command you to stop.
00:11:38You have no idea what it means to 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...
00:11:59You may turn around now.
00:12:06My Lord!
00:12:08This is entirely unnecessary.
00:12:09I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:12You are barefoot on flint.
00:12:14Kindly be still.
00:12:22My Lord.
00:12:24I'm here.
00:12:26I still owe you an explanation.
00:12:28Are 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 because...
00:12:40Because 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, you 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, Elizabeth.
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 Thornmouth,
00:13:17including the right to know your husband.
00:13:31Cecilia.
00:13:33Cecilia Marlowe.
00:13:34The girl Edward grew up with.
00:13:40Milo.
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, I'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, would you believe me?
00:14:17I, yes.
00:14:19I believe I would.
00:14:31Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Windorf.
00:14:34I should like, if you're willing, to have a true marriage.
00:14:39In every sense.
00:14:43In every sense.
00:14:45Is he asking me to bear an heir for the Wyndham line?
00:14:49Come in.
00:14:53It is late.
00:14:55Yes.
00:15:06Elizabeth.
00:15:07Yes.
00:15:10You are frightened.
00:15:13I'm not.
00:15:14I 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 it is, it is your right.
00:15:29I 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.
00:15:38Good night.
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:15:43Does he not want me?
00:16:09Edward.
00:16:18This isn't helpful.
00:16:48Better.
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind.
00:17:10My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this. What 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.
00:18:07Lady Wyndham. How lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:16Rupert. You know Lady Winder, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford. The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:27Good evening, Miss Vane.
00:18:28Mr Bellamy.
00:18:30Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McKeelmas Hall.
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me, though I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional.
00:18:45Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:57My lady. A message for you.
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight. Enjoy the party.
00:19:15Another entire evening to yourself. One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea. I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert. It's been ages since I last danced. You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:52Lady Wyndham. What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr Bellamy. I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes. I stepped out for some air and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford. Marriage suits you.
00:20:06Thank you. I believe I should return home.
00:20:07No need to hurry. It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr Bellamy.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you, as lovely as you, deserves far more than a cold bed and 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?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndham. You are going the wrong way. Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr Bellamy. Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:10And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:22There is no need to be alarmed
00:21:24I 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 from a most uncomfortable situation
00:21:47Lady Winded sought me out
00:21:49Elizabeth, how dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect
00:21:55But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain
00:21:57Good Lord, did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:04I'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...
00:22:44So when did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:46Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward
00:22:54Edward
00:23:03My apologies
00:23:04I seem to have arrived a moment too late
00:23:08Good Lord
00:23:10Has Lord Weidman 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, you will regret it
00:23:26Yes, my lord!
00:23:28Edward!
00:23:29What?
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
00:23:37I've 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!
00:24:03You have endured enough
00:24:05Home awaits us
00:24:10Edward, 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 all right
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 realised
00:25:32Yes
00:25:33Shortly then
00:25:49Of course
00:25:50Of all nights
00:25:51It would be this one
00:26:01Come in
00:26:05There's something I must tell you
00:26:07It concerns a domestic matter
00:26:11I 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
00:26:22Come
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 apologising
00:26:46Yes
00:26:47Yes, very well

00:28:10I wasn't certain
00:28:11of your preference this morning
00:28:12Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm

00:28:56to receive you
00:28:58yes

00:29:09of our marital obligation

00:30:12Of course.
00:30:37Please.
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...
00:31:12Lady Wyndon.
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 Marlok.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:32The woman Edward wants life.
00:31:37Lady Adelaine's son.
00:31:38Your grace.
00:31:38The pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:42Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place
00:32:15So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy
00:32:18After 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, we call her Georgie
00:32:28Georgie, this is Elizabeth
00:32:29Ah, the new Lady Wyndham
00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:33I read, I write
00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie
00:32:38Of course she does, most people do when they can't shoot
00:32:40No offence, Elizabeth, it simply requires a certain constitution
00:32:45Not everyone has it
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try, it is only fair to offer
00:32:50Oh, by all means, bring another gun
00:32:55A gun for beginners
00:32:58Do you know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing, you can watch if you prefer
00:33:17Well
00:33:20You had three
00:33:21I should 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
00:33:52Come in
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies
00:34:00She had no intention of neglecting you today
00:34:03I understand
00:34:04Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agreeable
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
00:34:26Twenty-three
00:34:31I see
00:34:46I confess I don't quite know
00:34:49What I meant to do with my
00:34:52Elizabeth
00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything
00:35:04The desk
00:35:05I thought you might find it easier
00:35:07To begin with
00:35:10I did not realise how warm his hands would feel
00:35:22Breathe
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:35I
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes
00:35:43Let's begin
00:36:28All right
00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean
00:36:34Elizabeth Winwen
00:36:35Knave Fenwork
00:36:37You arrived at my door this morning
00:36:39Wearing the very expression of a woman
00:36:41Who has just discovered something rather surprising about the world
00:36:45Was it?
00:36:46Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details
00:36:53Was he?
00:36:54He was
00:36:56Considerate
00:36:58Extraordinary so
00:37:00How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was
00:37:03Comfortable
00:37:05Way before anything else
00:37:07Several times in fact
00:37:11Good lord
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject
00:37:13And afterward
00:37:14In the morning
00:37:18He said come back to bed
00:37:21As though I'd been there all along
00:37:23Only meant to return
00:37:26He held my hand
00:37:30Lizzie
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
00:37:56Wedge something under the wheel first
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch
00:38:01Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by
00:38:15Lizzie
00:38:16How could it pass by
00:38:28Same as ever
00:38:30Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road
00:38:33The road found me
00:38:35I was perfectly innocent
00:38:38Of course you were
00:38:39You always were
00:38:42Edgar Lemmonds
00:38:43A Viscuit's son
00:38:45The summer I was 14
00:38:46He taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall
00:38:48Charcoal everywhere
00:38:49My 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
00:39:12Forgive 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 Wyndove
00:39:30Six years without a word
00:39:31And now he returns at just this moment
00:39:33He didn't know, Harriet
00:39:35Perhaps not
00:39:36Lord Wyndare is worth ten of him
00:39:37You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come
00:39:41The 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
00:39:53Out in the open road
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie
00:39:55That 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
00:40:20Good morning to you too, Georgina
00:40:23I was riding this morning
00:40:25Along the north road
00:40:26I saw her
00:40:27With a man
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together
00:40:30And he
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:32Why yes, and he took hold of her sleeve
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward
00:40:40He called her Lizzie
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox
00:40:43Edgar Lennox
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox
00:40:46The Viscount's son
00:40:47The one who has been off painting in Italy
00:40:49For 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
00:40:54I just happened to be passing by
00:40:56Georgiana
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windham
00:41:01She is the mistress of this house
00:41:02Whom she encounters on the road
00:41:04With whom she speaks
00:41:05With 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
00:41:10Not some vulgar country woman
00:41:13Go home, Georgiana
00:41:18Edgar Lennox
00:41:23My lady
00:41:24His 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
00:41:40Of 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
00:42:07He 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 because he sought to question me
00:42:21It'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, you need not thank me
00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy
00:42:38He 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
00:43:03He 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 Duttshire on Thursday
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her
00:43:30Edward chose her
00:43:35Very well
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me
00:44:17East wing, old timber frames
00:44:19East wing, old timber frames
00:44:21Curtains 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
00:44:42He will surely return to you
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:45:08My lord
00:45:09It began in the lower story
00:45:11Where's Lady Winder?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winder
00:45:14But we brought someone out
00:45:16From the east wing
00:45:17A man
00:45:20Elizabeth
00:45:20She's still inside
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Wyndham is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:33Edward, I'm so sorry
00:45:34I did not wish to be the one
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting
00:45:41I received a note
00:45:42I believed it to be
00:45:44You believed it to be from my wife
00:45:49Edward
00:45:49You must see that all evidence
00:45:51Points to Elizabeth and this man
00:45:53Elizabeth is still inside
00:45:54Of course she's inside
00:45:56That wicked adult
00:45:57She ought to be caged
00:45:57And 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
00:46:12Miss, I'm sorry
00:46:16He ran headfirst into that fire
00:46:20For her
00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:30Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:32And you
00:46:32What 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
00:46:41How 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
00:46:48Shall we my god-begin right to walk all over you?
00:46:50My lady
00:46:51His lordship has gone into the fire
00:46:54What?
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, how did this happen?
00:47:04Let go, Georgiana
00:47:06No!
00:47:10No!
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
00:47:34He's slandering me
00:47:36Edward!
00:47:42Elizabeth
00:47:43Go back
00:47:55Foolish woman
00:47:57Reckless man
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you
00:48:10You're safe
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I was wrong about that
00:48:25Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband
00:48:28Why did you do it?
00:48:29You went in there for me
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die
00:48:32Oh, Elizabeth
00:48:33Whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:36You
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold
00:48:57Edward
00:48:57Edward
00:48:58That note Edgar received
00:49:00It wasn't written by me
00:49:01I know
00:49:02As it happens
00:49:03I also received a note
00:49:04Signed with Edgar's name
00:49:05But I did not go to meet him
00:49:07I'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
00:49:25There was a time when certain arrangements were considered
00:49:29By my mother
00:49:30By Cecilia's family
00:49:32I knew they were in favor of him
00:49:34Who were you?
00:49:36I've never made any promises to Cecilia
00:49:38If 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 Leniston and I grew up together as well
00:49:55He taught me to make charcoal drawings
00:49:58That is the whole of it, Edward
00:49:59There'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
00:50:10Yes, 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
00:50:28May I?
00:50:30Yes, you may
00:50:40This
00:50:42This is what home feels like
00:50:54My lord
00:50:55The Dowchage Duchess of Ravensville has called upon you
00:50:57I informed her that you are not at leisure
00:50:59But she still has not taken her leave
00:51:03Show 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
00:51:34You 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
00:52:03Don'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
00:52:09Established 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
00:52:23You 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
00:52:51Do 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, Sifshi
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
00:53:49I 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 as 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
00:55:23Edgar
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
00:56:01Elizabeth
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
00:57:03So, we're going to have a child
00:57:09Yes
00:57:11Yes, we are
00:57:12This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth
00:57:15Thank you
00:57:18I'm sure you will want to tell your mother
00:57:24I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday
00:57:27Vale will accompany you
00:57:29And take a warm blanket
00:57:31The mornings are cold now
00:57:32I know I needn't thank the man I married
00:57:36But I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother, Edward
00:57:41I know I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother,
00:57:48I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't
00:57:57thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you
00:57:58on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf
00:57:58of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my
00:57:58mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I
00:57:59needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank
00:58:00you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on behalf of my mother, I needn't thank you on
00:58:08behalf of my mother, I needn
00:58:16I 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 Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:31You're pregnant.
00:59:33Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:39Mother.
00:59:42I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46You'll 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.
01:00:09Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:26It's Edward!
01:00:40It's Edward!
01:00:42No, trust.
01:00:43Let him come.
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.
01:00:57Lady 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 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.
01:01:58Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate...
01:02:02To 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.
01:02:31He'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.
01:03:16Now let me tell you.
01:03:19The way this is working.
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.
01:03:46I know.
01:03:47I know you don't.
01:03:48Elizabeth, 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.
01:04:16I promise 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
01:04:45set 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.
01:04:53We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:06In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:32My lady.
01:05:33There are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverde, we are here to deliver a summons from His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:57May I have the night to prepare?
01:05:59I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:06:02The carriage is prepared.
01:06:07Very well.
01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather my pains.
01:06:21My lady.
01:06:22The seal on this carriage.
01:06:24I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the road to London.
01:06:47It's the cliff road.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:11I need to burn!
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes?
01:07:51What is it?
01:07:52I think...
01:07:52I think the child is coming.
01:07:56Ah!
01:07:57Ah!
01:07:59Ah!
01:08:00Ah!
01:08:02Ah!
01:08:05Ah!
01:08:06Ah!
01:08:08Ah!
01:08:10Ah!
01:08:10Ah!
01:08:14Ah!
01:08:33Ah!
01:08:34Ah!
01:08:35Ah!
01:08:36Ah!
01:08:38Ah!
01:08:40Ah!
01:08:43Ah!
01:08:47Ah!
01:08:49Ah!
01:08:51Ah!
01:09:11Ah!
01:09:16Ah!
01:09:19Ah!
01:09:27Ah!
01:09:29Ah!
01:09:30Ah!
01:09:30Ah!
01:09:32Ah!
01:09:38Ah!
01:09:40Ah!
01:09:41Ah!
01:09:41Ah!
01:09:51Ah!
01:09:53Ah!
01:09:53Ah!
01:09:56Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:06Jane.
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?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:34Cut 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, gave 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.
01:11:36Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:40A husband and wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honour!
01:11:47And 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.
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.
01:12:30Sure.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martianse of Thornfield.
01:12:49Thank you very much.
