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

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

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

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.
