02:41Back in the bosom of the family I see
02:44Safe to shake my hand again. Certainly. How are you George? I'm very well, sir. You know Dottie
02:51Kill the fatted calf a what a time to be a Forsyte this Soames business Freddy's getting almost hourly bulletin
02:57She's gone. She's back. She's run away with a butcher
03:00Said if you ask me she'd no money, you know
03:04Let the family jewels intact remarkably for a lady all alone knows where she is
03:11We should eat Dottie has a theory don't you Dottie I'll give you eight to one
03:16He's done her in and buried her under the roses. I'm not a betting man and Irene he deserves better
03:22Ten to one I'll take it
03:26Good day jabbering fools
03:35You've changed the flowers Bilson I
03:38Do it every Friday sir in every room in the house. Yes, sir, except mrs. Forsyte. Yes, sir
03:43Did I request that?
03:45No, sir. Did mrs. Forsyte?
03:47No, sir. Well then until we do please continue your duties as normal
03:54Shall I change the bed linen sir, you usually do that on a Friday on a Monday sir and do it on a Monday sir
04:01I
04:17Don't even know what to call you
04:23Julian
04:28Have you been walking
04:31I've been to see mrs. Baines feels aunt
04:34He didn't have much in the way of family
04:37She wasn't much of an aunt
04:39Still she's terribly upset
04:43I've told her I'll organize the funeral
04:50You're humoring me
05:02If he'd only married me dry
05:05And we hadn't waited if wishes were horses
05:12And bag is my pride
05:32I was shit. You're a father. Why don't you ask her?
05:41I thought you wanted to get to know her you start by offering a little comfort
05:48What use is that for me words I haven't learned the right
05:55Well, you could try
06:01Oh
06:18Thank you
06:32I'm sorry about Bussini about a lot of things
06:44June I want us to be friends more than anything in the world. I
06:51Don't know how to answer you
06:53You don't know me. I know you love Bussini
06:57It's very talented but not a penny to his name and that can't have been easy in a family like this
07:06No, but you stuck by him and lost him and miss him
07:16Do your children know about me? Oh, they've always known I should love you to meet them
07:24Perhaps
07:27There is the funeral to consider first, maybe one day
07:36It's Bussini religious
07:41He had a faith of sorts
07:44He thought the human spirit was innately good
07:47Wrongly, it would seem well, you don't believe that
07:52He's dead isn't he and you're arranging the funeral
07:55I'd call that good in the circumstances who else is going to do it
08:09Not Irene II she's left Soames she's disappeared
08:17Man that is born of a woman hath got a short time to live
08:20And is full of misery
08:22He cometh up and is cut down like a flower
08:25He fleeth as it were a shadow and never continueth in one stay
08:31Now knowest Lord the secrets of our hearts
08:35Shuts not thy merciful ears to our prayer, but spare us Lord most holy. Oh God most mighty
08:51You
08:59Come to pay your last respects
09:04Your guests are waiting I'll introduce you mr. And mrs. Baines meet the man who killed your nephew I
09:12Don't hear you denying it I
09:15Wouldn't have mean myself you're not here to appeal for God's forgiveness. Why have you come?
09:23You didn't really think that she'd be here June
09:27Is everything all right? Everything's fine. I'll follow you on
09:33Don't you think Irene who knows the way your mind works I do and I've never had the misfortune of living with you
09:40The belief is mutual June if you'll excuse me
09:45I
09:47Sometimes I wonder if there's blood in your veins
09:50Better a little composure than a show of feigned emotions the dutiful fiance and mourning act
09:54There's nothing dutiful about my feelings for Phil. No, there's nothing honest about them either
09:58If Persini's dead it's because he was off with Irene when he should have been with you. Why was that June?
10:03No, not so full of theories now. I
10:08Wasn't enough
10:11At last a little truth yes
10:15And there's the difference between you and I you could never admit that in a million years because it's not sir
10:20No, you're right. You were too much
10:23Too possessive too domineering too insensitive. You know me so well
10:27Stupid too desperate and at the end of it. What have you learned?
10:31You still think that she's the one to blame I gave her everything and understand nothing
10:36Even now after all that's happened
10:38The joy she felt you crushed and he hopes you soured did you never wonder why you didn't have children
10:47You thought she was barren
10:49You see her fault again. No, she wasn't barren. She just couldn't bear to have a child of yours squirming inside of her
10:57She made sure of it
11:01There go the shutters
11:04Accepted songs she's never coming back
11:07She'd rather sell her body to a thousand men and suffer another kiss from you
11:11You know nothing about her your friendship with her was a sham. Yes. She stole the love of my life my future
11:16I should hate her but the alternative was you
11:21Cannot hate her I can only wonder how she didn't do it sooner
11:34I
11:39Didn't mean to panic you mom. It's just mr. Soames is always so particular never a word out of turn or a hair out of place
11:46How is he?
11:48Well, it's like he's past caring
11:59So
12:01What is it darling
12:05Wilson says you're not well
12:12Are you feverish
12:20Has he taken anything salvo latterly brandy won't touch a drop mom
12:32Leave them, but it's so gloomy in here leave them
12:48It's Winifred sounds
12:51They're all asking after you
12:54Imogen especially
12:57Val's going to write during prep. Oh
13:06You're honored his favorite soldier to stand guard by your bed
13:17The aunt sent prune brandy
13:20They wanted to come and sit
13:23It's an art dear. They said
13:26I said to my mom. Do we want Soames to pull through or do we want to finish him off completely?
13:31So you're stuck with me
13:34withering away
13:36If I waited too much to let on give me a punch or something
13:43Oh Soames, I wish there was something I could say
13:56I
14:08Do fancy living on the river hello, I know it's gonna have some funding
14:13Should rather live at Robin Hill
14:17What am I be too painful
14:19At least I'd know Phil's wishes were respected another buyer might fill the place with chintz painted pink or something I
14:27Thought we could all be a family again. I'll snap it up tomorrow
14:33You are a sweetheart for worrying grant
14:37Never did like being an only child did you
14:41What if Holly and Jolly hate me
14:45Well if you if you can't bear it, I'll get you a flat in town
14:50I'm sure we can whip them into shape
14:54I'll make so much an offer first thing, but if you change your mind
14:58You'll be the first to know
15:02Oh, please Soames just a drop for me not a baby
15:09You can't carry on like this
15:14Listen to me
15:16You have to snap out of it
15:18You are young you can start again
15:21Whatever she did to you
15:24It was dreadful
15:26But it's better to discover it now than when you're in Winifred shoes up to your neck and commitments in a and a house full of
15:32Children that would never have happened. I know you're not dirty the children
15:43She took steps to prevent it behind your back
15:49Oh
16:03What is it
16:06I'm thinking the last time I saw that expression on your face
16:11You a Val's age mother you pestered us for months for that kitten. What was it?
16:18six weeks old
16:20He dressed it like a doll fed it till it was sick and smothered it. I loved it. That's what I thought I
16:30Should have whipped you I should have taught you not to love like that
16:36With all your heart mama yes
16:41It was my fault
16:44You feel things too much
16:49Do you always
16:57Good morning mother
17:02You're up you need to rest are you going out I
17:12Have things to do
17:18Mr.
17:23Forsyte how are you feeling sir?
17:27I'm feeling very well. Thank you bosom
17:31May I ask what you are doing? I'm changing the beds
17:35You need to know more than the minimum in that room Wilson
17:40Don't let me keep you from your work very good, sir
17:48I
17:59See now why I'd agreed to sell Robin Hill
18:02You don't grant the house before he'd even moved in
18:06In truth his fascination was the design
18:10His interest waned once it was constructed a rich man's toy
18:14And
18:16Then he can afford to negotiate on price no
18:20Price as discussed those were his instructions. You said it yourself. He's a rich man that wife of his did her best to correct that
18:28No, I'm sorry Julian Julian
18:31I'll be no more of that. I'm not here it you understand
18:34We barely knew her and the lady is not here to defend herself the lady was no lady
18:40Madam that remark was beneath you and beneath contempt before you result in name-calling you would do well to remember
18:46There are two sides to every story
18:49What do you know
18:52Is there something I haven't been told Emily
18:57Separation divorce these are not states entered into lightly you would understand that more than anyone I do
19:03And that's why I must insist if you talk about Irene you do so with respect
19:09Your son loved her once
19:12a very good cause
19:19Point taken good you will take my point. We will not budge on price
19:29That's what you came here to talk business yes, well, then do we have a deal
19:34Do you want the house or not I?
19:37Must do I'm still here aren't I
19:50Stop a mama beacon
19:56Robin Hill
20:07You
20:11Williams
20:18You ensure these are disposed of certainly
20:36I
20:47Just what you imagined
20:54Starker I thought I knew his work, but this
21:07I
21:17Let me take that it's heavy. Oh, hell. Thanks your father doesn't travel lightly
21:24Sketches enough for two houses you look happy all the same
21:28May I of course
21:36Oh
21:42Papa by June I
21:45Didn't know he had this
21:47When the children were younger we used to see you in them just certain looks a laugh the tantrum
21:57Piece of a jigsaw was missing I
22:00Helped you paint this you won't remember now
22:06Celebrating very first Christmas

23:07You disapprove ma'am, sir, she's just a child
23:11The child has lost her mother all the same. I
23:15Think it is mobbed
23:17You prefer us to pretend that nothing's happened
23:22It's not the English way
23:24Well, it's not my way at least her father should be looking after her. Oh, I'm too old to look after
23:36You

29:39Try to help women who've come to grieve grieve ladies of the night
29:44What
29:46What you do
29:48Not enough. I
29:50Have no money to spare but I can offer food

30:59She had nothing but she fed me
31:02Listened to me and and I to her
31:04I
31:06See we pretend they are different we make their lives a secret to make ourselves feel better that they are sometimes sad
31:14sometimes lonely never different I
31:30Should have kept a polite chitchat

34:24Splendid, so you give my driver another chance
34:29Pop your head on we'll go out for a drive in the park
34:33Yes
34:42Has June forgiven me uncle Jerry of course you have told her in your letters of our meeting
34:53And she has not I haven't asked I had no cause to now and you I
35:03Gave you as soon as I saw how the land really lay
35:08I've never regretted I
35:12Couldn't
35:15Did you ever love very deeply
35:17I
35:19Long in the tooth to be talking about love no Phil didn't think so
35:24He thought you had one of those hearts which never grow old
35:27He used to say you have a real sense of beauty
35:32Why else am I here with you?
35:34You
35:40Have lifted my spirits, thank you
35:44Come to lunch on Wednesday. I meet you from the train. I'd love to

36:57Thank you, I
36:59Should leave you in peace. Oh, no, please
37:02Let's walk breathe fresh air my flowers
37:11There's one flower in particular I should like you to see my sweet Holly I'm looking forward to it
37:19There's something about her that reminds me of you
37:24Are you any little ones most your people yes three two of them darlings
37:31lovely, too
37:35I'm Holly's devoted to music and dancing
37:40You wouldn't give me your opinion of her playing
37:43Lovely and suggest a possible tutor. Oh, yes
37:48No, I mean for instance
37:50hmm, I
37:54Can't uncle Julian as much as I want to please you there is June to consider
38:02I
38:07Missed you back in four weeks. No five
38:14Perhaps a short intensive course
38:24My darling here's a lovely lady I told you about you're gonna teach you the piano
38:31I
38:41Comes the hefty Huguenot ma'am's elbows
38:52Holly
38:54must I go I
38:57Don't want to say goodbye. Oh
39:00Then let's say au revoir till Wednesday
39:06Wednesday
39:13Bye-bye, sweet
39:15Poor little might her mother's death was a shock to us all
39:20I'd gone to understand what Julian saw in her
39:23Now that he and June are away. I'm glad of Holly's company. She must give you so much pleasure
39:28This was the only face that did
39:30Till you came along
39:33No, no, that's not humbug. Never told a woman I admired her unless I did
39:38My wife was funny that way. She used to want me to say it more often than I felt it
39:45Well, my little sweet Mary's
39:48Hope she'll find a man who understands how women feel. I
39:52Won't be there to see it
39:55But there's too much topsy-turvied them in marriage and I would wanted to pitch up against that
40:03Well when you remarry I should hope the same for you
40:09Does some never trouble you
40:15I've had no contact with him since I left
40:22But the memories
40:25The memories trouble me from time to time
40:32Not today not in good company
40:35You
40:52Harry good if you've come sit down sit down
40:55Take a glass of brandy if you've tired before the opera as long as you don't bill me for the time it takes to drink it
41:05You
41:07Wish to make a cortisol to your will. Yes, I do. My niece Irene Forsyte
41:13Now goes by her maiden name of heaven
41:16and
41:17the amount
41:22Fifteen thousand pounds free of legacy duty
41:30She's a lucky woman Julian she hasn't always been
41:35My fortune could do nothing for the past
41:39Might do some good for the future
41:53I've always thought the opera far more chic, but darty is a ballet man
41:59It's not an artistic choice. I'm sure most do adopting as being fat and wearing clothes
42:05I
42:16Sorry
42:28You don't need to worry about these the school fees come out of fathers account
42:31Well, I just wanted to make sure they were in order.
42:34I couldn't ask Darcy.
42:35You know what he's like with facts and figures.
42:37I should send them off tomorrow.
42:38Thanks so much, Soames.
42:40Would you like another drink?
42:43I must go home.
42:44I have some notes to read for the morning.
42:45No, before you do, there's something I need to tell you.
42:49You mustn't get upset.
42:54I went to the opera last night.
42:58And while I was there, I saw someone with a member of our family.
43:04Irene, even Uncle Julian.
43:08You know?
43:10But how?
43:11It's a delicate situation.
43:13People will talk.
43:17But you will not, it seems.
43:20Not even to your sister.
43:24Have you made contact with her?
43:28No.
43:54Hello, Soames.
44:09Darcy.
44:10Well, aren't you going in?
44:11You're under starter's orders.
44:14Yes, of course I am.
44:17Good night, then.
44:22Good night, darling.
44:30Who was that?
44:32Fascinating chap.
44:33You'd have liked him.
44:46I'm a pretty host.
44:48There'll be other commons.
44:50What have I come to see?
44:51Parfait's an old woman.
44:53She's always fussing.
44:54Shall we eat?
45:16Are you sure you're all right?
45:18I'm fit as a flea.
45:20Drunken flea, maybe.
45:24Perhaps you should lie down.
45:26Nonsense.
45:27What I need is perking up, good food, fine wine,
45:31and a beautiful companion.
45:37Promise me you'll go straight to bed.
45:40No late night reading.
45:41You're as bad as Parfait.
45:43Treat me like an invalid.
45:45What are you doing there?
45:50I had a postcard this morning.
45:52June and Jo are expected home on Friday.
45:54Holly's full of beans.
45:56Wants to play for them the moment they return.
45:58Expect a demanding pupil when you come tomorrow.
46:02For Elise.
46:03What?
46:04For Elise.
46:05It's by far and away her best piece.
46:07Good.
46:08She'll have a head start in the morning.
46:10Sleep well.
46:12Good-bye, Uncle Jolyon.
46:42Mrs. Heron wasn't there, sir.
47:03Beacon waited.
47:05Oh.
47:07Well, she sometimes takes an earlier train.
47:11Thank you, Parfait.
47:12What's that?
48:12Good-bye, Uncle Jolyon.
48:38Gran, wait till Daddy sees.
48:46I can almost play it by ear.
48:49Well done, Holly.
48:50It's marvellous.
48:51Marvellous.
48:53You do think I'll be ready by tomorrow?
48:57What?
48:58Oh.
49:00You're almost note-perfect now.
49:30I don't wonder that dog is so fat.
49:36Irene.
49:38I've come to say I'm sorry.
49:40It was a cowardly thing to do.
49:42Doesn't matter.
49:43You're here.
49:44Sit down.
49:46I'll go and tell Parfait there'll be one more for dinner.
49:50No.
49:51No.
49:53I think...
49:54I think you should sit down.
49:56You look quite flushed.
49:58It's nothing.
50:00Warm weather.
50:01Doesn't suit me.
50:05I'm an impatient old devil.
50:08You've been thinking of June, I know, but...
50:13I've had a lot of time to think myself.
50:17There must be a way of leaving the past where it is.
50:22For Holly's sake, if not for mine.
50:25You are an impatient old devil.
50:27You wouldn't be at my age.
50:30My heart's full, Irene.
50:33And if you never come again, so be it.
50:36There are things I must say.
50:41Do you have to?
50:42Do we not understand each other?
50:44Enough to know I don't need to be protected from myself.
50:49You're a jewel.
50:52You brought me laughter and joy.
50:57And instead of feeling satisfied, you've made me hungry for more.
51:03And I despair that I wasn't born later.
51:07And I thank you.
51:09I've done nothing.
51:10You have.
51:12You've seen me.
51:16Not the wrinkles and the stoop in here.
51:20What's inside?
51:23You've changed.
51:26Everything.
51:27And I can't be discreet anymore.
51:31I can't shuffle meekly towards my death.
51:38Uncle Jolyon.
51:41You have given me much more than I have ever given you.
51:46Then stay.
51:51I have missed you.
51:54Now, let me go and speak with Parfitt.
52:02Tell him you want some champagne.
52:33Parfitt!
52:36Parfitt!
53:02Parfitt!
53:33Life is a dance we must learn.
53:37Into the night we will turn.
53:41Time holds the secrets of our song.
53:45Moments are given, then gone.
53:50Come have this dance with me, darling.
53:54I'll hold you tight till the dawn.
53:59Let the night see how I love you.
54:03So the moon can turn.
