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.
11:44Yeah.
11:55Maybe.
12:12You might be willing to do something about that.
12:14And the horses are likely to have some wonderful life.
12:21Persephone?
12:30Persephone.
12:36What happened?
12:38You were thrown from a horse.
12:41Are you hurt?
12:42Can 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.
13:02A person can be killed being thrown from a horse.
13:04Until I'm certain you are not hurt,
13:06I'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,
13:37you'll disagree.
13:38Careful.
13:41There you are.
13:44That is very kind of you, Adam.
13:47You were thrown from a horse, Persephone.
13:49Any decent gentleman would be concerned.
13:57I can have the kitchen send up a tray
14:00if you would rather not come down for dinner.
14:02I 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,
14:13might I come riding with you and Harry?
14:18Atlas can't keep pace with Zeus.
14:21Couldn't you rein Zeus in a little?
14:22Or let me join you at the end of your ride
14:25once Zeus has 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...
14:49But that is no guarantee.
15:05I'm sorry.
15:07Oh, no.
15:09I...
15:10Adam!
15:34Ridiculous.
15:36It is too blasted quiet in here.
15:58What the blazes is taking from?
16:03So you are awake.
16:04Adam!
16:05Are you stiff from your fall?
16:06Does it hurt to walk?
16:11They are loud tonight.
16:17How long do you plan to sit at that window
16:18and worry about wolves?
16:19Until they stop.
16:24You should have come in
16:26when they first started.
16:28Come in?
16:28And curled up on the bed,
16:30wrapped 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.
16:46And then you started coming in
16:48and making all those noises
16:50while you're sleeping.
16:51I make noises?
16:52And you move constantly.
16:55Loud noises?
16:55What?
16:56No.
16:57Not like a puppy.
17:01Little noises.
17:04And that doesn't bother you?
17:06I've grown used to it.
17:08I don't want...
17:10to bother you.
17:12You won't.
17:17The wolves don't worry me as much
17:19in your bedchamber.
17:23Are they quieter than his?
17:26No.
17:28The way I forget it,
17:29if the pack ever actually makes it
17:31into the castle,
17:32they'll eat you first.
17:44Good night, Adam.
17:47Good night, Persephone.
17:58Adam?
18:00Yes.
18:03Why did you decide to get married?
18:12At the time,
18:13it seemed like a good idea.
18:19Does it now?
18:28Mrs. Adcock said you would.
18:31Said I would what?
18:33Regret marrying me.
18:42When I visited the vicarage
18:44several days ago,
18:47Mrs. Adcock said that
18:49most gentlemen who pay for a wife
18:51regret the purchase in the end.
18:55It was blatantly obvious
18:56she was referring to our
18:57marriage settlement.
18:59Mrs. Adcock had mentioned
19:01her sizable dowry
19:03at least a dozen times,
19:04so I...
19:06happened to ask Lady Hedisham
19:08loudly enough for Mrs. Adcock
19:10to hear...
19:12whether or not it seemed odd
19:14that some ladies
19:15found it necessary
19:16to offer money
19:17to a prospective bridegroom
19:18in order to bring him
19:20up to scratch.
19:22No gentleman would accept
19:24a horse so ill-recommended
19:25that he had to be bribed
19:27to accept it.
19:31I thought
19:33Mrs. Adcock's tea
19:34would come flying out her ears.
19:36She looked so livid.
19:38Will you compare her
19:39to a horse?
19:42I doubt
19:42even I could produce
19:43such a cunning retort
19:44while done, Persephone.
19:46I have not pulled caps
19:48with anyone in years.
19:49I'm not ashamed
19:51to admit
19:51that I enjoyed it.
19:53I felt like
19:54a regular warrior.
19:57Perhaps
19:57before I next call
19:58at the vicarage
19:59I should try on one
20:00of the suits of armour
20:01for size.
20:02I could check the armoury
20:03for a jousting lance
20:04and simply unseat
20:05my adversary
20:06as she rides up
20:07to the vicarage.
20:07I would be
20:10the terror
20:11of the neighbourhood.
20:13Well,
20:13if it comes to
20:14full combat,
20:15let me know.
20:16I'm rather handy
20:17with a crossbow.
20:18Maybe Harry could be
20:19our page
20:20if we could go
20:20conquer Adcock Manor.
20:22Oh, Harry would make
20:23an abysmal page.
20:25He might be trusted
20:27with a battle axe though.
20:30We would make a
20:32wonderfully fearsome team.
20:36You see, Adam,
20:37marriage to me
20:38might not be such
20:39a terrible thing
20:39for you after all.
20:51There are
20:51times in the
20:56It's been a mess...
20:57It's been a mess of
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.
23:54I never miss you.
23:57I never miss you.
23:57I never miss you.
23:59I always miss you.
24:00already. Thank you mother. Adam, may I talk with you for a moment?
24:15Mrs. Smithson skipped this room when she gave me my tour. I haven't ever been in
24:20here. No one ever comes into this room. I am overstepping myself. No, no.
24:43Who is this you're standing beside, Adam? My father. I thought he must be. You look
24:51very much like him. Do I? You have the same eyes. And there is something similar about
24:58your mouth and the shape of your face. And of course you both have dark hair.
25:05I suppose there is a resemblance.
25:10Your nose is your mother's. I noticed that when I first saw the two of you together.
25:19Are you like him in other ways? My father?
25:23I hope so.
25:37You wanted to speak to me about something.
25:42The triumphant will make port the last week of November.
25:46Linus will be granted three weeks, surely. Isn't that wonderful?
25:49Yes. The triumphant will be docking at Newcastle. I could be there and see him before he departs for
25:55Shropshire. Be there? In Newcastle? I wouldn't be gone more than a day or two.
26:01Of course, I would want to see him off as well, which would mean going back when the triumphant
26:05sets out again. You cannot go. Please, Adam. It would only be a few days. I...
26:22I need to see him for myself. I need to know that he is well and whole. To have even
26:28a moment with the
26:29only brother I have left, this is important to me, Adam. Things of importance to me should matter.
26:44What if he came here? But you don't allow visitors.
26:47It makes more sense than you journeying to Newcastle twice.
26:51Linus could come to Fauston before going to see your family. Do you mean it?
26:56I don't say anything. I don't mean. It wouldn't be too much of an imposition.
27:03I'd very much like to meet the boy myself. Really?
27:08Linus might make a great addition to our siege. Harry would probably faint dead away at the first
27:14battle cry. Thank you, Adam.
27:36Why do you never leave? Good afternoon to you, too.
27:44Answer the question. Is this a pointed interrogation? More of an intellectual discussion.
27:50intellectual discussion. Why do I never leave?
27:59Because I like Fauston. Why? Free food.
28:01I'm in earnest. I need you to be as well. The food is nothing to disregard. Cook is a miracle
28:05worker.
28:10Aside from that, Fauston is familiar. It's comfortable.
28:17So you feel the same way about the house in London. You spend a lot of time there as well.
28:21And you've
28:22come with me to Kent a few times. This is a pointed interrogation, isn't it?
28:28Look, if you're trying to tell me to make myself scarce now that you're married,
28:31I completely understand. No, it's not that at all.
28:37Then what is it? I want to know why you've stayed around all these years.
28:48We're friends, Adam. Friends don't just jump ship.
28:53I think your answer about the food was more honest.
28:56Did it ever occur to you that I sincerely consider you a friend?
29:04My best friend, in fact.
29:09Because of her role.
29:12It may have started that way. You saved my skin.
29:17So I worshipped you for a while. A bit like an idol who could ward off evil spirits, I suppose.
29:26But then...
29:28Then you landed me a facer for something stupid I did. Or said.
29:34I remember that quite well, but not what we were scuffling over.
29:37And we were sent down.
29:39My parents were away, so we came here.
29:44In those two weeks of our expulsion, I met...
29:50Adam Boyce. The Duke of Kilda.
29:52Oh. Still scared the guts out of me.
29:56But Adam Boyce...
29:59was just a boy. Like me.
30:04Why the sudden interest in our colorful childhood?
30:35It looks frigid out there, doesn't it?
30:39It does.
30:43Persephone looks cold, Adam.
30:46You should go and keep her warm.
30:49Keep her?
30:51The fact that my suggestion confuses you does not bode well.
30:58My friend.
31:01It didn't con...
31:05It didn't confuse me.
31:23She is lonely in this empty castle.
31:29Just as Mother would.
31:37Persephone.
31:42I heard them, Adam. The walls. They're inside Fauston.
31:45They are still outside the castle.
31:46They're so loud. They sound so much closer.
31:49They are not inside the castle walls, Persephone.
31:52Are you certain?
31:54Absolutely.
31:57Have tea sent up to my book room.
32:11I know I shouldn't be so afraid of them, but the howling sends chills through me.
32:20I will have my steward check on the pack so you can breathe more easily.
32:24I had always been told that there were no more wolves in England.
32:28Our pack is descended from the last of the wolves that roamed the area.
32:33And the wild dogs that called the forest home.
32:36Are they less vicious than true wolves, then?
32:43They are more wolf than anything else, but they always give the castle a wide berth.
33:00I think...
33:05I think we should hold a ball.
33:07A ball?
33:08Unless you don't want to.
33:09I assumed you wouldn't want to.
33:11It would mean a lot of people in the castle.
33:18Every bride should have a ball.
33:23We are still in mourning.
33:27I think a wedding ball would be permissible.
33:33Do you mean...
33:39You don't say things you don't mean.
33:44No.
33:48No, I don't.
33:52Yes, Adam.
33:54We should host a ball at Fauston.
34:00Adam suggested it.
34:03Adam!
34:05As in the Adam I know.
34:06I am as surprised as you are.
34:09He's been doing a lot of uncharacteristic things lately.
34:13Barton says Cook is in tears.
34:15What did you do to her?
34:16I didn't do anything to her.
34:18She's informed about the upcoming ball.
34:20She's that upset about it.
34:21She's that pleased about it.
34:23She's been reduced to weeping at the kitchen work table.
34:26How has the rest of the staff reacted?
34:28Mrs. Smithson is rushing about as though the ball is this evening instead of three weeks from now,
34:32and Barton has simply begun grinning when he thinks I'm not looking.
34:36Three weeks from now?
34:37But Adam Linus is coming in three weeks' time.
34:40Please tell me you haven't changed your mind about his visit.
34:43Of course not, Persephone.
34:45He can be here for the ball.
34:50Why the sudden urge to entertain, Adam?
34:53First, you invite Persephone's brother.
34:56And the ball will bring every family of consequence in the northern half of England to Fauston at the same
35:01time.
35:02That is precisely the sort of thing that makes you miserable.
35:05I don't want you to be miserable.
35:07I will not be miserable.
35:09You will simply make the rest of us miserable.
35:12Perhaps you should put an end to the entire thing and save us the suffering.
35:14Shut up, Harry.
35:19Harry is not nearly persuasive enough to convince me to cancel Linus's visit.
35:24There is no need to worry over that.
35:26But there is.
35:28You tell me to trust you, but I don't know that I can.
35:31There is so much I don't know about you, Adam, so much I don't understand, and that frightens me.
35:40I frighten you?
35:41That isn't what I said.
35:43It really isn't.
35:44Shut up, Harry!
35:47I am happy to see I am a unifying force.
35:50At the moment, Harry Windover, you are a frustrating force.
35:53Harry, now would be a perfect opportunity for a timely exit.
35:56In taken.
36:03I have faults, Persephone, like any other man, but I am not a liar.
36:12I was raised by a man who valued honesty and loyalty and keeping one's word.
36:21Now, I have promised you that your brother will visit you here, and that Fauston Castle
36:25will host a ball, and no one, not Harry, not anyone else, will browbeat me into going back
36:31on that promise to you.
36:34On any promise to you.
36:38I want to believe that.
36:40And your happiness does matter.
36:43You should believe that, too.
36:47I'm beginning to.
37:11Good afternoon.
37:13You look a bit unwell, poor boy.
37:17I'm fine.
37:18I was just telling Persephone of all the wonderful balls we used to have here at the castle.
37:24Even the London papers were full of every detail of the evening.
37:29Who attended, the decorations, the menu.
37:35Fauston balls were positively legendary.
37:39I'm certain our ball will be far less elaborate.
37:41Well, that's why I've rushed back.
37:43It could be extraordinary.
37:46A few changes to the menu.
37:48Perhaps a more dramatic decorating scheme.
37:51It is enough that there will be people here.
37:53That should be plenty to fill the London papers with pages of shocked commentary.
38:00The castle's always been more pleasant when it's been festive.
38:04Mrs. Smithson and I have discussed the menu and the preparations.
38:08I am quite satisfied with what we've chosen.
38:10Hmm, satisfied and pleased are not the same thing.
38:16You'll be desperate to leave before long if something's not done to liven the place.
38:21We are holding a ball, Mother.
38:23That has always been enough festiveness for you to return to Fauston.
38:28It sounds to me like it's hardly a ball.
38:34I suppose the arrangements could be made a bit more extensive.
38:41I sound just like father.
38:43I assure you both, I am satisfied and pleased with our current arrangements.
38:48They suit my preferences.
38:50You really must let me help with future entertainments.
38:54We could hold ever so many, both here and in London.
38:58You'll have far too much fun to be unhappy.
39:04If you'll please excuse me.
39:14All of the balls you held for Mother weren't enough to keep her here,
39:17so why the blasted blazes am I trying the same approach?
39:21Dukes don't need people, you said.
39:24We're better off without her.
39:27But Stephanie will leave too. In the end, everyone does.
39:36You will hurt your hand if you keep doing that.
39:41Go eat your dinner, Persephone.
39:45I intend to.
39:49On the desk we'll be fine.
39:54I'm not hungry.
39:56Perhaps not, but I am.
40:06Mother is taking her meal with Harry.
40:09I am eating here.
40:12No one eats in this room.
40:14You would rather I starve?
40:16If you are truly on the verge of expiring, then by all means,
40:21take some nourishment.
40:34Blast it.
40:36Does smell good, doesn't it? What a shame you aren't hungry.
40:39Is that a hint, Persephone?
40:41A hint?
40:43You are trying to convince me to join you.
40:47This is for me. If you want something, you will have to send to the kitchen for it yourself.
40:54You plan to eat an entire chicken?
40:56It is not an entire chicken.
40:58I'm not such a very large one at that. In fact, it is a very good thing.
41:03There is plenty to go with it. Otherwise, I would be in very real danger of wasting away.
41:17You didn't expect me to eat an entire chicken, did you?
41:32Thank you for the dinner, Persephone.
41:37Thank you for allowing the ball.
41:40For inviting Linus to visit.
41:44It is nice having something to look forward to.
42:02Would you like having more balls and entertainments?
42:08I would now and then.
42:12But I miss my family more than I miss company.
42:17They are so very far away, it sometimes feels as though I'll never see them again.
42:26They may very well go to London for the season.
42:29You could see them there.
42:31You could see a lot of people there.
42:34That should tide you over for a while.
42:38I will have to get my fill then, I suppose.
43:00For my family, my friends.
43:00Whew.
43:16Bye.死in'
