00:04What are you doing, lad?
00:07Left!
00:24Careful!
00:30Whoa!
00:56Your room is just here, lad. across the corridor from mine.
00:59Thank you, Mrs. Ashley.
01:06Oh, it's lovely, Mrs. Ashley.
01:08Really charming.
01:09You've certainly worked wonders.
01:11It looks very nice in me.
01:12Thank you, madam.
01:13Ah, thank you.
01:14There you are.
01:15As you can see, we have the good fortune to have Mary here as a visitor.
01:18It was such a surprise, Mr. Ashley,
01:20when your cousin came to fetch me.
01:22The others were green with envy.
01:24Can I speak to you, please?
01:26Yes, of course.
01:27As soon as Mary is settled...
01:29No, no, I'm afraid it cannot wait.
01:34You're at liberty to say anything you please in front of Mary.
01:39I don't wish to make intrusion.
01:42Let me go and unpack, Mrs. Ashley.
01:46Very well.
01:48Leave the doors wide open, Mary,
01:50so you can hear me if I call.
01:51Yes, certainly, Mrs. Ashley.
02:12Why have you done this?
02:14After last night,
02:15I cannot be with you alone again.
02:18How long is she to stay?
02:19As long as I choose.
02:23Rachel, this can't be settled in a moment's conversation
02:25with the doors open.
02:27I beg of you, listen to me.
02:28Let me talk to you alone, please.
02:30You threatened me last night.
02:32Once was enough.
02:34There is nothing to settle.
02:35Now go.
02:36I beg of you.
03:03I beg of you.
03:04Oh, my God.
03:22Hello.
03:23Come.
03:24I beg of you.
03:25I beg of you.
03:29I beg of you.
03:30I beg of you.
03:31I beg of you.
03:32Hey.
03:39Philip, sir!
03:43John!
04:09John!
04:41John!
04:46John!
04:49John!
04:50John!
05:09Oh, no.

10:09her. what about you? don't you remember what you said about her before she came?
10:15you mistrusted her and with good reason. you must stop this Louise. if you continue
10:21talking we shall hate each other.
10:29do you love her then so much?
10:36keep honest with yourself Philip. what does the future hold now for either of you?
10:43i have asked her to marry me. i asked her once and twice and i shall ask her again and
10:50again until
10:50she consents. when was the first time you asked her? when Philip? on the morning of my birthday.
10:59what did she answer you? we spoke at cost purposes. i thought that she meant yes when in fact she
11:05meant
11:05no. had she read your document at that time? she read that later. later the same morning. she lost
11:10little time in reading it then and driving out to see my father. she did not understand it very well.
11:14she understood it when she drove away. i remember perfectly as the carriage waited and we stood upon
11:20the steps my father said to her the remarriage clause may strike a little hard. you must remain
11:26a widow if you wish to keep your fortune. and mrs ashley smiled at him and said that suits me
11:32very
11:32well. stop looking for trouble Louise. her clause was inserted to safeguard the estate
11:37to prevent any squander by a stranger. if she were my wife it would not apply. if she were your
11:42wife
11:43the whole estate would revert to you again. that's the law Philip.
11:50yes but she knows i would share every penny of it with her. but she wouldn't refuse to marry me
11:56because of that one clause would she? is that what you're trying to suggest? i am not suggesting anything
12:01but remember that a wife cannot take her husband's money from the country nor return to the place where
12:05she belongs. she belongs here Louise with me. then why is she planning to return to Florence? but she is
12:11not.
12:11everyone speaks of it. gossip. malicious gossip. why does she ride into town every day?
12:18why shouldn't she? she goes to the bank Philip. i'm sure she's sending money out of the country and
12:30she goes to the inn by the harbor. the schooner. she meets someone there. how do you know all this?
12:40i heard the servants talking. gossiping. all right gossiping. perhaps it is true.
12:52when she goes to this inn. who does she meet there? i do not know.
13:02you must believe me Philip. i do not know.
13:24i do not know.
13:46Oh, my God.
14:16Nick Kendall tells me that there is fresh gossip about the countryside.
14:21What now?
14:23Well, that you are going back to Florence.
14:26Tamlin tells me the same.
14:29There is plenty of time to decide about these things.
14:32Well, have you sold the villa yet?
14:35No, I can't afford to keep it now, can't I?
14:39Have you left it?
14:40No.
14:42You mean that you would want to spend the winter there?
14:46Possibly.
14:48Or the late summer.
14:50Why is there any need to go at all?
14:52You belong here. This is your home.
14:54Philip, you must stop behaving like this.
14:56Like what?
14:57As if we were married or intended to marry.
15:00You know very well that cannot be.
15:02I've made it abundantly clear.
15:04No one could have made it clearer.
15:08So, uh, letters will pass between us, will they, from England to Italy, month after month throughout the year.
15:17I will say to you, uh, dear Rachel, the camellias are in bloom.
15:20And you will reply, dear Philip, I'm very glad to hear it.
15:23My rose garden is doing very well.
15:25Is that to be our future?
15:27You could visit me in the spring.
15:29There's much you would like in Italy.
15:39How long has Rinaldi been here?
15:44That's my business.
15:46Answer me.
15:49Very well for the past two weeks.
15:51Why is he here?
15:52Because I asked him, because I needed his advice.
15:55Why should you need his advice?
15:56Philip, will you stop behaving like a child and have some understanding?
16:00Oh, you expect me to understand deceit.
16:03You have been lying to me every day for the past two weeks and you cannot deny it.
16:08If I have deceived you, it was for your sake only.
16:11You hate Rinaldi.
16:12If you had known I was meeting him, this scene would have come this soon and I just could not
16:16bear the idea of it.
16:18Oh, God, must I go through this again?
16:20First with Ambrose, now with you.
16:22He's in love with you.
16:23Rinaldi?
16:24And has been for years.
16:25He's my friend, that's all.
16:26He's my friend.
16:27Send him away, then.
16:29Send him back where he belongs.
16:30He's already gone.
16:32Gone?
16:33He sails from Plymouth tomorrow.
16:37When will you follow him?
16:41That depends on you.
16:46Philip, if only you could be less bitter.
16:50Unless cruel.
16:55No, leave me now.
16:56Please.
16:58Leave me.
17:00Leave me.
17:13As the weeks pass, I notice more and more how she turns for advice to a man I have mentioned
17:20before in my letters.
17:23Signor Rinaldi.
17:25I believe this man to have a pernicious influence upon her.
17:38What is it that they say to one another when I am not there?
18:13What is it that they say to me?
20:48One thought possesses me, leaving me no peace.
20:54Are they trying to poison me?
21:01So sorry you have to leave, Mr. Kendrick.
21:03Indeed, so am I.
21:04But I have a brother sick at Luxillian and promised to call and see him.
21:07Oh, I hope he's up in Syria.
21:09Oh, I don't think it's Syria.
21:11Make an excuse to stay behind and let's talk to you.
21:17Father, would you mind if I didn't come with you?
21:21It's so hot and stuffy and the coward.
21:24I will bring her home later.
21:27Well, there will be no trouble.
21:30Yes, very well.
21:32Thank you again, Mrs. Ashley.
21:34I shall see you next Sunday, if not before.
21:37I hope so.
21:38I hope so.
21:49I'm so glad you decided to stay a little longer.
21:52We have so few opportunities for any conversation.
22:20I suppose the heat in Florence now must be well nigh unbearable.
22:25Even to you.
22:27I never found it so.
22:29I am lucky at the Villa Sangaletti in having a little courtyard beside the house.
22:35It faces north and it is always pleasantly cool.
22:40In spring and in summer, I never sit anywhere else.
22:44Very good, darling.
22:53Now, who will come?
22:54Come for a walk with me.
22:57Louise?
22:58If you will excuse me, Mrs. Ashley, but it is rather hot, is it not?
23:05I shall have to go by myself, then.
23:08I want to see what Tamlin and his men have been doing at the Sunken Garden.
23:11Be careful, then.
23:14Careful.
23:16I thought I'd better warn you, sir, not to stand on the bridgeway over the Sunken Garden.
23:20There's only a framework as yet and won't bear no weight upon it.
23:25Be careful of walking too long in the Sun.
23:37Quickly.
23:38We have not much time.
23:40We have not much time.
24:13You remember that conversation we had last week?
24:16Well, you were right.
24:18And I was wrong.
24:20And I have suspicions of worse beside.
24:22I believe she has tried to poison me.
24:24And that she did the same to Ambrose.
24:27But I must have final proof.
24:30It doesn't matter now how I discovered it.
24:33But the proof may lie in a letter from that man, Rinaldi.
24:36You know Italian, don't you?
24:38Just a little.
24:38Yes, yes, you do.
24:39You learned it with your French.
24:40Now, between us, we can make some kind of translation.
24:44Why did you not warn my father?
24:47If she is guilty, he could accuse her with greater force than you.
24:50Because I must have proof.
24:52You shouldn't be doing this, Philip.
24:54What you are doing now is what anyone might do.
24:56A common thief.
24:58Here.
24:59What's this?
25:01I'm not sure.
25:03But I think it is a list of plants.
25:05The writing is not clear.
25:07Yes, the site is written in English.
25:09It's a list of plants and herbs.
25:11Look, Philip Burnham.
25:12Yes, it's here.
25:15Because it mentions poison?
25:17No, it just says that it's a native of South Europe
25:20and should be transplanted in March.
25:26What is it?
25:28It's a letter from the bank.
25:31Listen.
25:32Dear madam,
25:34we thank you for the return of the
25:36Ashley Collection of Jewels,
25:39which,
25:40according to your instruction,
25:42as you are shortly to leave the country,
25:44will remain with us
25:45in custody
25:46until such time as your heir,
25:49Mr. Philip Ashley,
25:49may take possession of them.
25:54The letter I'm looking for is not here.
25:58It's your forgiveness.
26:01Have you looked through the blotter?
26:05No.
26:15This is it.
26:18Here, read it.
26:19What does it say?
26:21But it is in English.
26:22Here, you see, he says,
26:24since you have become more English than Italian,
26:26I write you in your language of adoption.
26:29I will do all you ask of me in Florence,
26:32though I am not sure you deserve any of it.
26:35At least,
26:38the villa will be waiting for you
26:40and the servants
26:43when you at last decide to tear yourself away.
26:50Do not delay too long.
26:53I have never had
26:55great faith in those impulses of your heart
26:57and your emotions.
27:00If, in the end,
27:01you cannot bring yourself to leave that
27:04boy behind,
27:06then bring him with you.
27:08I'll warn you, though,
27:10against my better judgment.
27:13Never care to yourself.
27:17And believe me,
27:19your friend.
27:23Rinaldi.
27:24That's a nice letter, Philip.
27:26A friendly letter.
27:28There is nothing criminal in that.
27:32No.
27:37Oh, it's Ambrose.
27:40How ill he looks.
27:44Here.
27:45What's this at the bottom?
27:48Nonramentari
27:49che leore felici
27:52Remember
27:55only the
28:00Remember only the happy hours.
28:04Did she not show it to you before?
28:08No.
28:10What can you have misjudged her, do you think?
28:12About the poison?
28:14You can see for yourself
28:15there is no proof.
28:18No.
28:19No.
28:20There is not any proof.
28:23And there never will be.
28:25Not now.
28:27Not ever.
28:28If there is no proof, Philip,
28:29you cannot condemn her.
28:31She may be innocent.
28:33She may be guilty.
28:34She may be guilty.
28:35Yes.
28:36Yes, you're right.
28:38If she is innocent
28:39and you accused her,
28:40you would be guilty then,
28:41not she.
28:42And you would never
28:43forgive yourself, Philip.
28:45No.
28:50Let's go now, please.
28:52I wish we had not meddled
28:53with her things.
28:54When is she coming?
28:58Do you see her?
29:01No.
29:04No.
29:07No.
29:09No!
29:09No!
29:48I don't know.
30:24I don't know.
30:47I don't know.
31:10I don't know.
31:50I don't know.
32:09I don't know.
32:19I don't know.
32:38I don't know.
32:42I don't know.
33:18I don't know.
