00:40How was he?
00:42Well, enough.
00:50What were you thinking of, Gilbert? You could have killed him!
00:52What was I supposed to think? I saw you together.
00:55Of course you thought what they all think.
00:59And if I did, whose fault is that?
01:03I never listened to their gossip.
01:05I defended you.
01:07And then I saw you both.
01:09And I heard what you said.
01:11If you had met me on the moors as I asked,
01:13you could have heard what I had to say in my own justification!
01:15Well, I'm here now!
01:27Would it please you to discover I'm not so very bad as you imagine?
01:33Would please me to know the truth.
01:43Very well, then.
01:55Read this
02:03I trust to your honour not to breathe a word of it to anyone
02:21Here in this haven of wildfell I feel almost free at last
02:25Except for one haunting care, the dread of discovery
02:29After all that has befallen me it is hard to revisit the spirit of my youth
02:33But I shall set it all down now as it was
02:35It's a lesson to myself
03:07When I was just eighteen my aunt and uncle brought me to London for the season
03:11By the end of which it was my aunt's intention to have me settled and well provided for
03:16But I was young and full of romantic notions
03:21Childhood acquaintances who had teased a gawky twelve-year-old and shunned her attempts to join in their sport had
03:26now grown
03:26And changed
03:28Much to their surprise
03:31So had I
04:01Always remember to receive every attention
04:02Believe me Helen, matrimony is a serious thing
04:06Please, I'd like to introduce my good friend
04:18I recalled Arthur Huntingdon as a bold and reckless child
04:21Surrounded then, as now, by mischievous companions
04:25My aunt took great care to keep me away from him
04:29Her intentions were admirable
04:30Her choice of men was not
04:33I still shudder at the remembrance of Mr. Borum's voice droning in my ear
04:42And on the other hand, let me hope that my
04:45Nothing could dislodge him
04:47May I have the honor?
04:53Mr. Huntingdon
04:55Where's this one?
04:57Of course, my dear
04:59I thought you needed rescuing
05:01How chivalrous
05:02My motives were entirely selfish, I assure you
05:09Who wouldn't choose to dance with the most beautiful woman in the room?
05:51Your old beau is still making picky eyes at you
05:54Mr. Borum
05:56How appropriate
05:58Are you always so uncivil, Mr. Huntingdon?
06:01Will you favor him?
06:02I misunderstood
06:04Let me return you to him directly
06:07I see you are quite as wicked as they say you are
06:10It's true
06:12But a little daily talk with you, I'm sure, would make me quite a saint
06:43You could not have found a man with a worse mind than you are
06:46Nice reputation
06:46He behaved as a perfect gentleman to me
06:49Naturally
06:49So to always do at first
06:51Always depend on a rogue for a beguiling manner
06:54What is a poor, beguiling rogue to do, aunt?
06:57If every woman followed your advice, society would soon come to an end
07:02what do you think of mr borum mr borum a sober sensible respectable man a 50 40 45 perhaps
07:11well how do you like him i have no doubt mr borum would be a worthy and devoted partner
07:17throughout life's pilgrimage you do i do i have it on the best authority he told me so himself
07:22and what did you say i assured him i should not fail to recommend him to any pilgrim ladies of
07:2850 i happen to meet
07:41mr huntingdon
07:47very pretty
07:50it's not finished
07:52very fitting
07:53spring just opening into summer
07:57girl her just ripening into womanhood
08:01is she dreaming of her sweetheart imagining how tender and faithful she'll be to him
08:06or perhaps how tender and faithful he will be to her
08:11i suppose so the young are very hopeful
08:14you think her deluded then
08:20i might have said so once
08:27now i say
08:31give me the girl i love and i will swear eternal constancy to her
08:34through summer winter youth and age
08:45you can't look at those
08:47they're just sketches
08:48i love a young girl's sketches
08:49oh it worked
08:54it's got me rather well i think
08:55mr huntingdon i insist you give me that back it is mine and you have no right to it
09:00since you value her so much i'm not afraid of her
09:28as the weeks passed my aunt's disapproval of miss
09:32mr huntingdon served only to increase my fascination
09:36she persisted in her hopes that mr boring would win me over
09:41but arthur huntingdon was always in my thoughts and dreams
09:53i look forward to our every meeting
09:55although too rarely did we have a chance to be alone together
10:00miss lawrence

10:31his attentions to me were strangely fitful
10:34sometimes he would shower me with compliments and seeming affection
10:38but whenever annabella wilmot was in the room

23:47My love, my love.
24:00Oh, such a bruise, I know.
24:07Arthur.
24:08I don't mean it.
24:23Forgive me.
24:32Rachel.
24:35Tell Richards to hurry with the coach.
24:38The coach? Where are you going?
24:41To London.
24:42What about our guests?
24:44Well, I'm accompanying them this very hour.
24:47Can I come?
24:49No need for that, my love.
24:50I'll have a little business with my lawyer.
24:54A piece of property to sell.
24:57Do let me come with you.
24:59What bore you, my love?
25:01I'm a foul London air.
25:04You know how you hate the London air.
25:06There are places I could visit, people I could see.
25:08Oh, Arthur, please.
25:09Helen, on your health, you know, depends the health,
25:12if not the life, of our future hope.
25:17I don't wish to keep you a prisoner at home if you are happy to be away.
25:20Oh, you do worry about me?
25:23Well, then, in that case...
25:29Promise you I'll be back before you've even noticed I've gone.
25:40Arthur stayed away above two months.
25:42He seldom wrote, and when he did, he told me little about what he was doing.
25:47But I did not need his letters to imagine the kind of life he led among all his dissolute companions,
25:52drinking himself to oblivion.
25:55And worse.
26:06When he finally returned, I longed to upbraid him for his neglect.
26:11But he was still my husband and the father of my child.
26:14Seeing him standing there, his beauty strangely diminished,
26:19already anticipating forgiveness,
26:21my heart swelled with pity.
26:24It was all I could do to hold him.
26:27I've been trying to say that.
26:28I'm sorry.
26:28I'm sorry.
26:29I'm sorry.
26:30I'm sorry.
26:33I'm sorry.
26:34I'm sorry.
26:34I'm sorry.
26:39I'm sorry.
26:41It's all I could do.
26:44I'm sorry.
26:46It's all I could do.
26:47Good.
26:47Oh, good.
26:55G sharp.
26:59Yes.
27:05Oh, dammit.
27:08It's useless. Have no patience for it.
27:12You just need a little practice.
27:19I've invited some of the old crowd down. Hope you don't mind.
27:23I haven't seen Lobra since he got married.
27:26Thought it might be rather fun to see how he's liking it.
27:34Poor old Lobra. So blind.
27:39Well, at least he's in good company.
28:02I suppose I'm in for one of your lectures.
28:05It's not a joke, Arthur. Unless you think it's a joke to torture me.
28:09Oh, come now.
28:13Forgive me, Helen.
28:18Dear Helen, forgive me.
28:21I promise I'll never, never do it again.
28:25You think it's all so amusing.
28:27There was nothing I'd tell you. Don't make such a fuss.
28:29Nothing!
28:31Flirting with a woman in front of her husband's face.
28:34What about your marriage vows? Are they nothing too?
28:37But you're the one breaking the marriage vows.
28:39Honour and obey. Remember?
28:42I won't be dictated to by you.
28:44What will you do?
28:45Go on till I hate you.
28:47You'll never hate me, Helen.
28:51You can't hate me, can you?
28:54Can you?
28:54Come on.
29:15Your husband was very merry last night, Helen.
29:19Is he often so?
29:21No.
29:23And he will not be so again.
29:26You gave him a sermon, did you?
29:28I thought he was looking a little subdued.
29:35Helen, you've been crying.
29:38Nothing like a few tears to bring them round?
29:41I never cry for effect.
29:43Do you?
29:45I never cry at all.
29:46No need.
29:48I'd make Lobra cry all right if you tried anything like that.
29:53Not that I need to worry.
29:55He worships the ground I tread on.
29:57Are you sure you deserve to be worshipped?
30:01Oh, I doubt it very much.
30:04But are you sure darling Huntingdon deserves all the love you give him?
30:08You're right, Helen.
30:08You're right.
30:24You're right.
30:27You're right.
30:29I'm sorry, Helen.
30:32You're right, Helen.
30:33That's a little room in that, Millicent.
30:36you should try to be more like her my love. Hattersy swears it's not such a
30:41jewel in all England. does he love her? a distraction almost as much as his horse.
30:46he gave two thousand dinners for that.
30:57morning Mary. Mrs. Huntington.
31:26I have gone to London for a few days because I cannot be happy here. it's a
31:30wretched thing when a man knows his wife doesn't love him. trust you'll be in a
31:33better temper when I return.
32:06oh
32:09oh
32:11oh
32:11oh
32:11oh
32:12oh
32:12oh
32:13oh
32:14oh
32:15oh
32:15oh

32:19oh
32:19oh
32:20oh
32:20oh
32:35What a wonderful picture.
32:37Mother, child and faithful retainer.
32:41Mr Hargrave?
32:44He's a pretty little fellow.
32:47Rachel, it's getting chilly.
32:49I should take him in now.
32:52I fear you must be lonely here, with Huntingdon so often absent.
32:57I wonder that he can stay away from all of this.
33:03I expect him back very soon.
33:05Actually, I had a letter from him this morning.
33:09I wish it were the kind of thing that I could show a lady.
33:12But he tells me he plans to return next week.
33:16He tells me so every time he writes.
33:19Really? How like him.
33:22Is it possible, Mrs Huntingdon, that you can rejoice at his return?
33:26Of course, Mr Hargrave.
33:28Is he not my husband?
33:39In truth, I felt less joy than apprehension at Arthur's return.
33:45Helen!
33:48Helen!
33:50Helen!
33:50I had stayed away so long, I felt we should be strangers.
33:54Am I not to receive a welcome in my own house?
33:58Rachel, come here.
34:03Damn it, you're a witch!
34:05Pull harder!
34:08Arthur.
34:12Where have you been?
34:16I need a drink.
34:18Arthur, please.
34:19Don't start lecturing me already, woman!
34:22Fetch me a damn drink!
34:23I need a drink!
34:26I need a drink!
34:28I need a drink!
34:29Let's do it!
34:33I need a drink!
34:49Oh!
34:53It's better.
34:55Come with me.
34:57All right?
34:59Upstairs.
35:02You've been missing me, have you?
35:04Mm-hmm.
35:14I've been missing you.
35:17You and your...
35:18...delicate goodness.
35:22And your skin.
35:37There.
35:50Isn't he lovely?
35:55Mm-hmm.
36:08Ginny, Ginny.
36:13Hello?
36:16Hello, I'm your papa.
36:19Papa.
36:21Take it, you take it.
36:31Can't you stop it, making that damn noise.
36:35He needs to sleep.
36:41There's more, in one minute, lavished on that little senseless, thankless oyster than you give me in a month.
36:56Now you are equal.
36:57Now you are equal.
36:58Oh, really?
37:01Oh.
37:18Let's go.
37:30damn you
37:31you damn stupid hoose
37:34Arthur he couldn't help it
37:38thank you Benson
37:39that will be all
37:50how dare you take a servant's part against me
37:56how can you care about a stupid
37:59insensitive
38:01like that when
38:02my nerves have been torn to shreds
38:04by his confounded blunders
38:07I didn't know you suffered from nerves
38:09oh you think I shouldn't have nerves
38:11as well as you
38:15you
38:17you have nothing to do
38:20but
38:21stare down and take care of yourself
38:25and when my head is splitting
38:28you have more concern for the servant than for me
38:34perhaps
38:35if you took a little less wine
38:37you might
38:38by Joan if you stare on that again
38:40I shall order six bottles
38:41and drink them before bed
38:43what a shame it is
38:48for a strong man like you
38:49to reduce yourself to such a state
38:54if you knew all my ground
38:57you'd rather wonder at bed as well as I do
39:01I've lived more in these four months away Helen
39:03than you've lived in the entire course of your existence
39:05it's all well until the end of your days
39:07so you must expect to pay for it in some shape
39:11can't you see it's killing you
39:13oh no
39:14no it isn't this
39:16it isn't this that's killing me
39:20it's you
39:24you
39:25you're the one that's killing me
39:31why must you always judge me Helen
39:35why can't you just love me
39:50dear Helen
39:53what are you crying for
39:57you know I love you
40:01do you
40:04you know I do
40:10oh Arthur
40:13if only you would love yourself as much as I love you
40:29perhaps I know myself too well
40:50as the years passed
40:51Arthur's absences grew longer
40:54I spent many months alone in that great house with my son my only consolation
41:00I still loved my husband
41:02and in his own way he loved me
41:04oh but how very different from the love I could have given and once had hoped to receive
41:12I grew to cherish the tranquility of the empty house
41:16which was only disturbed when Arthur's friends came to visit
41:19Helen my dear how are you
41:22it's been such a long time
41:26Mrs. Huntington
41:27Mrs. Huntington
41:28Mrs. Huntington
