The Forsyte Saga is a British drama television serial that chronicles the lives of three generations of an upper-middle-class family from the 1870s to 1920s. It was based on the books of John Galsworthy's trilogy The Forsyte Saga.
Soames tries for one last chance with Irene, only for her to spurn him and marry Young Jolyon, who has confessed his true feelings for her. Soames marries Annette, who falls ill while pregnant, leaving Soames with a tough decision to make.

Transcript
00:00I will sit with her now No, don't go
00:25No, I can stay
00:33The ship docks at ten
00:55Tomorrow night?
00:56No, morning
00:57It means I'll have to break the news
01:01Miss June will be desolate
01:07Mrs. Heron?
01:08She is asleep at last
01:12We've kept some dinner for you, ma'am
01:15And Anne has aired the guest room
01:17Young Mr. Jolion and Miss June are due back in the morning
01:20No, I cannot trouble you, I'm sorry
01:23It's no trouble, ma'am
01:25I have appointments to keep, I must get home tonight
01:32Beacon will be with you directly, ma'am
01:36Sad day
01:37Yes, yes it is indeed
01:43For all of us
02:15You're a jewel
02:16You brought me laughter and joy
02:20And I despair that I wasn't born later
02:24And I thank you
02:26If we'd had any idea, we should never have gone away
02:37Never
02:42Was he in pain?
02:44He didn't seem to be, sir
02:47It was most unexpected
02:49He was not in pain, no
02:51But he was agitated
02:54He was often thus when Mrs. Heron came
02:58Mrs. Heron?
02:59The lovely lady
03:03Mrs. Irene Heron
03:05She came to give piano lessons
03:08And stayed to dinner
03:09Often
03:10Jolion
03:11Sorry, I've just got back from the solicitors
03:38Oh, heirlooms
03:39Oh
03:40They're my grandfather's
03:41A sign he'd finally arrived
03:42And Gran left them to you
03:43I suppose this means that I've finally arrived
03:44There is another bequest, one that I wasn't expecting
04:14She left 15,000 pounds to Irene
04:22She works fast
04:23How long were we gone?
04:24Three months?
04:25I'm sure she didn't set out
04:26Oh, Irene never sets out
04:28Things just fall into her lap
04:30Time after time
04:31Joan
04:33Thank you for the warning
04:38Does this mean that she'll be at the funeral?
04:40No
04:41That's something to be thankful for, at least
04:45Fear no more the heat of the sun
04:54Nor the furious winter's rages
04:57Thou thy worldly task hast done
05:00Home art gone and taken thy wages
05:04Golden lads and girls all must
05:06As chimney sweepers come to dust
05:11Fear no more the frown of a great
05:13Thou art past the tyrant's stroke
05:20Care no more to clothe and eat
05:22To thee the reed is as the oak
05:25The sceptre, learning, physic, must
05:27All follow this and come to dust
05:31Fear no more the lightning flash
05:32Nor the all-dreaded thunderstone
05:36Fear not slander, sense your rash
05:40Thou hast finished joy and mourn
05:43All lovers young, all lovers must
05:46Consign to thee to come to dust
06:01Walls in ebony and magnolia
06:03Illuminations by electricity
06:05Let me guess, you're taking mental notes
06:07Under instruction from the aunts
06:09They've been desperate to see this place for years
06:11They should have graced us with their presence, then
06:13No, it's more than Marvin High Park
06:15And Hester gets palpitations
06:17Besides, the reality never lives up to the description
06:20Who taught you that, Dorothy?
06:22What?
06:23Nothing, dear
06:24So, this is what all the fuss was about
06:28What do you think?
06:29That plane reminds me of a prison
06:31Only you'd know
06:32Original, I suppose, the old buccaneer
06:34Good of you to say so
06:38My condolences, Jolie
06:40Thank you
06:41We appreciate your coming
06:43Seems we only ever meet at funerals
06:46Mercifully
06:52I'm so sorry, Jolie
06:54And you must be devastated
06:56I just wish we could have been here
06:59One always feels one could have done more
07:02You were reconciled, at least
07:04That's some consolation
07:07But it feels like the end of an era
07:09It is
07:10First foresight to be buried in a plot
07:12Other than the families
07:14Well, I say plot
07:15More like a scrubby piece of field
07:17Flowers anywhere
07:19Weeds, probably
07:21Where's the dignity in that?
07:23You've heard about the will, I suppose?
07:24Yes
07:25Fifteen thousand to Twybeenie
07:26I know
07:27Typical, isn't it?
07:29Oh, June, hello
07:31Typical of what?
07:33Of Gran
07:34To remember the underdog
07:36Irene may be persona non grata in some circles
07:39All circles
07:40But she is, strictly speaking, still a foresight
07:43And she was very good to Gran at the end
07:45While you were away
07:47Yes
07:48Excuse me
07:55The question is
07:57Who is going to tell Soames?
07:59Shh
08:00I think he probably knows
08:03Why her, I wonder
08:05Jolyon hardly knew her
08:08Do you know?
08:09What?
08:10Why Jolyon left all that money to Irene
08:12What's her name now?
08:13Irene Heron?
08:15Oh, come on, James
08:16Use your imagination
08:19Excuse me
08:22Excuse me
08:27Thank you for coming
08:28All of you
08:29For paying your respects
08:32Some people retreat
08:34As they get older
08:35Not Dad
08:37He grew better with age
08:39His horizons broadened
08:43He became more flexible
08:45More compassionate
08:49He accepted that different people
08:51Might want to live their lives in different ways
08:56He was a man of honesty
08:58Bravery
09:00Conviction
09:03Never afraid to apologize
09:07Never afraid to love
09:10He stood for everything that was great
09:12About the foresight name
09:14Yeah, yeah
09:17I grew up, as many of you did
09:21Trying
09:23Failing
09:25To follow in his footsteps
09:29I see no reason to stop trying now
09:39I ask you to raise your glasses
09:51To Jolyon Foresight
09:54To Jolyon Foresight
09:59To Jolyon Foresight
10:11I meant what I said this afternoon
10:15We don't breed men like Dad anymore, yeah?
10:21Just full of doubt now
10:24Apologetic
10:29The world's a more complicated place
10:40If you could turn back the clock
10:44Change one thing
10:47What would it be?
10:52It'd be Sydney, I suppose
10:55I don't know, I can't answer that
11:02Gran had a long life
11:05But I wish
11:08I wish I'd had a chance to thank him
11:11That would be mine
11:16He did know, didn't he?
11:18He didn't think that we'd stop loving him
11:21We weren't here to tell him
11:25I don't care if I sound self-pitying
11:28Blame it on the brandy
11:31There's something ironic, isn't there?
11:34That all the people I love
11:37Really love
11:39All gravitate to her in the end
11:43And they always love Irene more
11:49It does sound self-pitying
11:52It does sound self-pitying
12:02He could never have loved anyone more than you
12:05Myself included
12:08He said so many times
12:11But you were his second chance
12:13The light of his life
12:17The beat of his heart
12:22He said so many times
12:31Had he discussed the will?
12:36I think he knew his time was running out, but no
12:41Then this was, uh
12:43This was quite a shock
12:45Yes, the money, yes
12:48But not the gesture
12:52How was he?
12:54In the end, in the very end
12:56Happy
12:59He saw?
13:02No
13:04No, he was too greedy for life
13:09He said his heart was full
13:12He shared some of his thoughts with me
13:16If I'd known we had so little time
13:19I would have been freer with mine
13:21It's my only regret
13:28He blessed my world, Jolyon
13:31As you bless his
13:34He goes on blessing it now
13:37I can imagine
13:45I'm sorry
14:04I'm sorry
14:11I don't know where that came from
14:15I want to apologise, please
14:27Thank you for being there
14:45When he comes in, you go and play
14:47Right
14:48Montague
14:50Shh, Dad, behave
14:52Val
14:53Be quiet while they're coming
14:56Imogen
15:00And you were in court today
15:02Adjourned, Mother
15:04Ah
15:08After you
15:10Would you get the door, dear? The handle's so very stiff
15:15Thank you
15:25Hurray
15:32My word
15:33He's a jolly good fellow
15:35For he's a jolly good fellow
15:38For he's a jolly good fellow
15:41And so say all of us
15:44Hip hip
15:45Hurray
15:46Hip hip
15:47Hurray
15:49Congratulations, Uncle Soames
15:51My word
15:52All this for me
15:55Happy birthday, Uncle Soames
15:57Imogen
15:58I played
15:59Happy birthday, Soames, dear
16:01Aunt Julie
16:02Whose idea was this again?
16:04Imogen's
16:05She's very fond of Soames
16:07They both are
16:08I know
16:10If it's any consolation, you don't look ancient
16:13Imogen
16:14Being ancient has its compensations
16:17Imogen, dear, your grandmama wants you to play
16:21I don't suppose you've heard from Irene?
16:24Birthday good wishes, that type of thing
16:26Happy birthday
16:27It's been ten years, Julie
16:29Twelve
16:30Long time, anyway
16:32Young Jolyon Forsyte's her trustee, you know
16:35Did you know that?
16:36I didn't know
16:38I gather she travels these days
16:40The continent and such like
16:42Lots of elderly widowers looking for company
16:44Oh, I doubt she's ever lonely
16:47Happy birthday, Soames
16:49Aunt
16:54You should have brought La Belle Annette
16:56I am married, Winifred
16:58Separated?
16:59Legally, I am married
17:02She's an unmarried French Roman Catholic
17:05Oh
17:08Attractive
17:10Astute
17:11Available
17:13Why didn't I act all those years ago?
17:14I should have started proceedings the day Irene walked out
17:16I had evidence then
17:17You can get evidence now
17:18All those elderly widowers
17:21It's not as simple as that, Winifred
17:25Her mother runs a restaurant
17:28She's a Soho shop girl
17:29Oh, near gods
17:32People are bound to find out she's in trade
17:35You're right, of course
17:37But it won't be a first, Soames
17:39I mean, look at Dehati, without a penny to his name
17:41And hasn't he repaired the family's faith in him?
17:45He's given me two wonderful children
17:48Look at Imogen and Val
17:50They're delightful
17:51You should grab her, Soames
17:53Before some other lucky fellow does
18:04Ah, Gustav
18:10Monsieur
18:14What a pleasant surprise
18:17Evening, Annette
18:25I just dropped in to talk to your mother about pulling down that partition
18:29Always working
18:40Do you know how pretty you look tonight?
18:43And always so kind
18:45Not a bit kind
18:49Sit
18:58Are you happy here?
18:59Or do you want to go back to France?
19:01Oh, I like London
19:03Paris, of course
19:05But London is so much better than Orleans
19:09And the English countryside is so beautiful
19:13I went to Henley last Sunday
19:15Oh, with a friend?
19:17With my mother
19:21I have a house nearby
19:23Maple Durham
19:26It sits there empty during the week, but I enjoy my weekends there
19:32I want you and your mother to come over next Sunday
19:36That would be lovely
19:39I hope she understood then
20:05The meal was excellent
20:07In every way
20:09Yes, indeed
20:12And your home
20:14So chic, so elegant
20:18Don't you think, Annette?
20:19Really
20:20Please, sit
20:24Sadly, I don't always have the time to enjoy it
20:27This price we pay
20:29Perhaps
20:30But it's not a price I intend to pay forever
20:33There's more to life than being a solicitor, however successful
20:37I hope one day to have a family
20:40Come down here more than just the weekends
20:43Indulge my passions
20:45Most admirable
20:48I hope one day you will achieve it
20:51When I set my mind on something, I usually do
20:58This is what I like to call my art gallery
21:02When you talked about your passions, this is it
21:07It began as a mild interest
21:09And now?
21:10It consumes me
21:13Perhaps you consider that unhealthy
21:17We French consider all passions healthy
21:21This picture, I recognize the style
21:24Miss Sonnier
21:25Of course
21:27What a jewel
21:29Do you like it, Annette?
21:32I do
21:37I like this more
21:39Ah, my latest acquisition
21:42It's my third work by this artist and undoubtedly his finest
21:46What is it that you like?
21:49I cannot say, I'm embarrassed to admit it
21:53If I want to be taught about French artists by an Englishman
22:00Naturally, it's always like that
22:13Thanks very much, Annette
22:18Evening, Edward, very nice to see you
22:23Still losing, well done, keep up the good work
22:27Eight, Mr. Darjeeling
22:31My lucky eight
22:39How's it, eh? You must have some money to burn
22:43We're on a winning streak
22:45Ladies, you're in for a treat
22:47George Forsyte, Paloma
22:49Encantada
22:50The heartening crime and the proud earner of the rear end of my racehorse
22:54Meet Muriel
22:55Encantada
22:57Encantada to you too
23:00So, like my pearls?
23:01Monty, he gave me
23:04Very much, Paloma
23:08I can't believe you've never been before
23:11More of a racing man
23:12Finish off these and I'll take you through to the gaming room
23:15Watch you lose your shirt
23:16You lose yours first
23:18I've seen too much
23:19Last time I was in here, Viscount Ranley blew 23,000
23:23In a single city
23:26He could afford it
23:27A lot of them can't
23:29What do you say
23:32We go the whole hog
23:33Don't be a fool, Darjeeling
23:35That's a tidy pile, you could rest on your laurels
23:37Oh, listen to it, rest on your laurels
23:40Don't be such a Forsyte
23:42Don't say I didn't warn you
23:44What do you think, gentlemen?
23:45Should I rest on my laurels with my lucky Spanish charms
23:50Or should I go the whole hog?
23:52The whole hog it is, then
23:56It's a man's game, George
23:58Eight
23:59Otto
24:04Eleven
24:06Mr. Darty loses
24:09Oui
24:16I beg your pardon
24:19No need
24:24She's your sort, Darty
24:26Looks as fire as all hell
24:28Eat you for breakfast
24:29No fear
24:31Come on, crumb, drink up
24:32I don't want to try my luck
24:34Black nine, tea
24:36A little wait, please, gentlemen
24:37Ah, thank you very much, ladies
24:40I'm finished
24:41You'll get by
24:42I'll be back
24:43I'm finished
24:44You'll get by
24:45Not this time, I won't
24:47Tighten your belt
24:48Liquidise a few assets
24:50I have none, you know that
24:54Well, there's the horse, I suppose
24:59Five hundred, she's yours
25:01Stop acting a goat, you're up on the night
25:03Only just
25:06You're as bad as Winifred
25:09Don't make a fella grovel
25:13Three
25:14Four fifty
25:15Four's the best I can manage
25:19Gone
25:25You only had four hundred, he said
25:27No, I said four is the best I can manage
25:31Here
25:33I'll seal it with a drink
25:35You sure you can manage it?
25:44Bounder!
25:46He's screwed
25:47Look at him
25:49Disgusting man
25:50Val?
25:52Friend of yours, is he?
25:57That's my son
26:01He's your father
26:08I'm sorry
26:10I'm sorry
26:12Val?
26:14Val!
26:18Val!
26:22Val!
26:26Steady
26:37For God's sakes, Freddie
26:38Nearly gave me a heart attack
26:42Erm
26:45Is Val home?
26:46Hours ago
26:49Wouldn't touch her supper, just went straight to bed
26:55I waited up
26:59We've been robbed
27:01No
27:04Someone broke into the house and stole my pearls
27:09Nothing else, just my pearls
27:11Oh
27:16You remember
27:17The ones you bought me when Imogen was born
27:22The ones that led to all that trouble with the bailiffs
27:26Yes, I remember them all right
27:31Dash it, Freddie, you must be heartbroken
27:33Well, I was going to go down to Scotland Yard myself
27:36And then I thought
27:39I ought to wait
27:42Till you got in
27:45Monty?
27:47What?
27:51Well, it struck me that the police might think it odd
27:54That just the pearls went
27:56Nothing else
27:59You're accusing me
28:00I'm asking you
28:03That's right
28:05Blame Monty
28:07Everybody, blame Monty
28:12Oh, don't be a clown, Monty, put that away
28:14I'll put it away, all right
28:15No, Monty, please
28:16Live or die, I don't care
28:17Be quiet, woman, sit down
28:22I'm lower than the servants in this house
28:24And I'm tired of it
28:26I'm tired of all the questioning
28:29Standing in line, holding out my hand
28:33I'm tired of life
28:34No, Monty
28:42No
28:45No
28:57Well, you'll certainly get a few good stories out of this, won't you?
29:02You and your pals
29:07Darty and the Duff Revolver
29:08Oh, don't be like that
29:09Val will laugh, that's for sure
29:12You've got him like just all the other Forsytes
29:16Priggish little snob
29:18So what if I did take the pearls?
29:20I bought them
29:21I can give them to whoever I like
29:26Pearls should be for a slender throat
29:28Not that turkey gobbler of yours
29:30Monty
29:31I gave them to a Spanish beauty
29:33Necked like a swan
29:36Do you know what she was grateful for them?
29:38I don't want to hear
29:39No, you don't, do you?
29:42You're a thief
29:44And a blaggard
29:48You're the limit, Monty
29:50You really are
30:08No
30:38Cheers
31:08Ah
31:38Let's go
32:09I've been to the ICM, spoken to George
32:12Darty's left for Buenos Aires
32:14He's gone then
32:16Sailed this morning
32:17So, here we are
32:20Two peas in a pod
32:23Abandoned berth
32:30Are you crying, Winifred?
32:31No
32:33Are you crying, Winifred?
32:34No
32:38I just thought
32:39You know, once the whiskey had worn off
32:42We should have him shadowed
32:43Once he lands
32:45I'll cable it once
32:47The sooner these things are done, the better
32:49Can you prove cruelty?
32:52Well, he twisted my arm
32:56All pointing a pistol cunt
32:57Yeah
32:59Being too drunk to undress
33:00I can't say this
33:04What about the children?
33:06For the sake of the children
33:07You must move on
33:08Oh, it's easy for you to say
33:10I speak from experience
33:15You're not alone, Winifred
33:17I want to be out of this state
33:18Married, yet unmarried
33:21I want to start again
33:23Well, good for you
33:25You don't have children to consider
33:27I never will unless I change my situation
33:31There must be
33:33Something else
33:34I mean, for me, I mean
33:36A legal separation
33:38Separation's not living
33:40It's limbo
33:42You must choose divorce
33:44If you won't consider cruelty, go for desertion
33:46There's a way of shortening the two years now
33:49You apply to the courts for restitution of conjugal rights
33:51Restitution?
33:52Ask for him back
33:54It's a game
33:55Of course you don't want him back
33:56But the court doesn't know that
33:58And if he disobeys
33:59Then we bring a suit for divorce in six months' time
34:01If who doesn't obey?
34:04Nobody
34:07His father, isn't it?
34:10Here
34:11It's Holmes
34:12Read it, if you can
34:19You will not get chance to insult me in my own again
34:22Own home
34:26You brought on yourself
34:29I shall not ask you for anything again
34:34Where is he?
34:35Buenos Aires
34:36I doubt if you could spell it
34:38Imogen's not to know
34:39She might notice eventually
34:41Your mother's petitioning for a divorce
34:43Soames
34:44Why?
34:45He's gone
34:47That's humiliating enough
34:49They'd splash it all over the papers, Ma
34:51You've seen the muck they print
34:53He's right, Soames
34:54I mean, think what it would do to father
34:56And Imogen's coming out
34:58And especially considering you're going up to Oxford
35:01Of course
35:05It's too peacefully for words
35:07No
35:08No, Soames
35:10For all our sakes
35:12We should let sleeping dogs lie
35:24James
35:29It's Soames, father
35:31Soames
35:34A sensible voice at last
35:37You've heard about Buenos Aires
35:40Buenos Aires is better than bankruptcy
35:43You won't stop spending there
35:45That's why we needed several connections
35:47Permanently
35:50Divorce
35:52It's not as bad as it sounds
35:55I've never had a divorce before
35:59Winifred is resisting, but she'll see sense
36:02Family's breaking up
36:04All the rules have changed
36:07This Kruger business
36:10We'll be at war in South Africa soon
36:13Empire's going to pot a family with it
36:16A family will be fine
36:18We're taking steps
36:25You should be in bed
36:27I've waited up
36:29At least you tell me things
36:31Mother tells you things, you're very lucky to have her
36:34She's younger than I am
36:36She sees things differently
36:39I wish you were more at home
36:43I'm here now
36:46Come
36:48A man needs his son around him
36:51At times like this
36:53A son's the one you turn to
37:04James is very shaken
37:06Understandably
37:08He's been rather fire and brimstone on divorce in the past
37:13Won't to condemn both sin and sinner
37:16But he dotes on Winifred
37:19It just applies to him
37:20Your silence speaks volumes, Julie
37:24This is dirty when all's said and done
37:28You're not appalled
37:31The loss of a husband is nothing to the loss of a good butler
37:36Oh, Hughes
37:39Lured to Scotland by a laird
37:42May the 4th, 1838
37:45We were in turmoil for months
37:47Years
37:49Such beautiful hands
37:51Soft as a girl's
37:53We never quite got over it
37:55No
37:57No, Winifred's a plucky thing
38:00She'll come through this
38:02Shunned in certain quarters
38:05But then
38:07One insists on being fashionable
38:10What can one expect?
38:12Send her our love
38:14And some shortbread
38:15Yes, do
38:17And tell her to get a good butler
38:25Here
38:30Oh, I keep wondering
38:32Oh, not this again
38:34Holly, tell him, would you
38:36Tell him what?
38:38He keeps banging on about whether we should be holding the exhibition here at Robin Hill
38:41Provincial
38:43Dad, it's perfect
38:46I've always liked this one
38:50Roehampton at dawn
38:53Do you think I might take it for my rooms at Oxford?
38:56Can't you wait till after the exhibition?
39:00Sorry, what am I thinking?
39:04Thanks, Dad
39:05I'll help you, Julie
39:14Very discerning children you have
39:20Anyone interesting?
39:22Irene Heron
39:24From Rome
39:26Is that where she lives now?
39:28She's travelling
39:30She dropped me a line when I sent her a new issue
39:33How is she?
39:35Has she changed much?
39:38I wouldn't know
39:40Her paths haven't crossed since Dad's
39:44Carradine's here
39:50Is that everything?
39:52A couple of books
39:54I'll get them
39:56Right, they're on the bed
39:58Here
40:00I've got my allowance
40:02You've been more than generous
40:04I'm going to sound like old Polonius now
40:07Neither a borrower nor a lender be
40:10You said that to me on my first day at school
40:13I don't see Oxford being much different
40:16Better clothes
40:18A few more shillings in my pocket
40:20Visits home will grow shorter
40:22That's just as it should be, you're ready for it
40:24It's only I haven't quite adjusted to the idea
40:26Always was a late developer
40:30Jolly
40:34This might sound a bit rich with my history
40:36But
40:39I should very much like to think
40:41That you will go through life
40:43Treating other people
40:45As you'd like to be treated yourself
40:51Thus endeth the homily
41:04Odd that I've never met this side of the family before
41:06You and Jolyon are cousins
41:08Didn't you grow up chums?
41:10Jolyon
41:12He fancied himself as something of a rebel
41:14He's not so anti the establishment
41:16Now its members have started to buy his paintings
41:21Ah June
41:23Good afternoon, I haven't seen you for years
41:25I wish to speak with your father
41:27Is he expecting you?
41:29He's rather busy at the moment
41:31Ah there he is
41:34Jolyon
41:37Soames
41:39I can't have changed that much
41:41Oh no, it's a surprise
41:44I was just explaining how busy you are
41:46Preparing for the private view
41:49This is my sister's son
41:51Val Darty, how do you do?
41:53Jolyon Forsyte, pleased to meet you
41:55My daughters, June
41:57Holly
41:59How do you do?
42:01Hello Val
42:03I thought you ought to meet your boy
42:05Bad timing
42:07But Jolly went up last week
42:09You've had a wasted journey, I'm sorry
42:11And I'll be of no use to you I'm afraid
42:13If you'll excuse me
42:15Ah well
42:17One must expect these disappointments when one acts on impulse
42:22There is another matter
42:25Ah but you two will no doubt find a crashing bore
42:27Holly why don't you show Val round
42:29Val
42:33Extraordinary house
42:35I can't believe you've never been before
42:37Are those stables round the side?
42:39Yes
42:41Would you like to see the house?
42:43I've seen it
42:49I've come about Irene
42:52Does she have a man?
42:54These days, men
42:56I need to know
42:58Men?
43:00That's what I said
43:04She'll have no idea
43:08You don't believe me
43:10I get a letter once a year as her trustee
43:12That apart, I have no relationship with her
43:14And she never mentions in her letters?
43:16Nothing of that sort
43:18Why have you come to me?
43:20Who else should I go to?
43:22To Irene herself
43:24I have no wish to see her
43:28It's been twelve years
43:30Twelve years without a wife
43:31Twelve years without a wife
43:33Or the freedom to find another
43:35I'm tired of it
43:38I wish to start again
43:40I need evidence for a divorce
43:42Would you speak to her?
43:44On my behalf?
43:46Well a personal visit must be preferable to a formal letter
43:50She may not be in the country
43:52You could find out easily
43:54I've told you I have no contact with her
43:59Please
44:02Well
44:04If she's in London
44:06I'll speak to her
44:08I'll present her with the facts
44:10But I won't press your suit, just to be clear
44:12I am only asking for what is my right
44:14Are we clear?
44:19I'm grateful, I'm sure
44:22I'll hear from you directly
44:31Thank you
45:02This is such an unexpected pleasure
45:06It's your secret, you look entirely unchanged
45:09I mean it
45:11People who don't live are wonderfully preserved
45:14Please
45:16Tell me, how is your work?
45:18The house, Holly, everything
45:21Life is good
45:23And full
45:25Irene, this is not a social call
45:27Please desire to see you again
45:29I had a visit
45:31Yesterday
45:33From Soames
45:35He wants a divorce
45:38After all these years
45:41Won't that be difficult?
45:44Unless
45:47Unless
45:49I have a lover
45:51He has, presumably
45:53I believe he'd like to have children
45:56Enough to supply the evidence himself
45:58Because I cannot help him, I'm afraid
46:01And you wouldn't like to be free too?
46:04What does it matter now?
46:06There's been no one since
46:09But if you were to love again
46:11Then I should love
46:15Well, I said I wouldn't press his case
46:17There's nothing more to say
46:20Tell him I'm sorry he's not free
46:23He had his chance
46:25I don't know why he didn't take it
46:27He's a foresight
46:28He'd never part with anything, on principle
46:29Not you
46:30I don't count
46:31No, you're a bit of a mongrel
46:36Your letters always say you're well
46:38But I'm happier now I've seen you in person
46:41I'm always at your service
46:43Yes, I know, and I'm grateful
46:46Goodbye
46:47Bye
47:00That was riffing
47:02She's a dark horse, all right
47:04Looks like a lady but goes like a rocket
47:06I told you
47:08I'll beat you next time
47:13You didn't mind my dropping you that note?
47:15Mind?
47:17I would have written myself
47:19Only I didn't know how to reach you
47:21That's so touchy about Uncle Soames
47:23Relations are awful, aren't they?
47:25And they don't get on
47:27And don't make sense
47:29That's foresight for you
47:32I wouldn't know
47:34You haven't missed much
47:36Sometimes I despair
47:38They don't go on muck or on enjoyment
47:40And you do
47:42I know where to draw the line
47:44But I believe in doing what you want
47:47I mean, we're family
47:49They introduced us
47:51They should be glad we rub along all right
47:56All the same
47:57Probably best to keep it to ourselves
47:59Quite a life on all that
48:15Just one minute
48:17Take a seat, won't you?
48:28I've seen her
48:30She regrets she is unable to help you
48:32Unable or unwilling?
48:34Unable
48:36She has had no one in her life
48:38And you believe that?
48:42Your father took an interest, didn't he?
48:44He was fond of her
48:46Fond enough to leave her 15,000
48:48And you?
48:50I don't know
48:52I don't know
48:54I don't know
48:55He left her 15,000
48:57I don't like your insinuation
48:59I've done what I said I would do
49:01If you wish to be divorced
49:03You must look to yourself
49:05I cannot provide evidence that does not exist
49:07And you are a lawyer
49:09Why should I?
49:11Haven't I suffered enough?
49:13I rather think she has suffered more
49:15The night she lost Bassini
49:17I brought her back to you
49:19The memory of it haunts me
49:21Why do people always take her side?
49:23What is it about her?
49:25She caused trouble for your daughter
49:27She used your father shamelessly
49:29My part in this is over
49:31I should never have come to you
49:33No
49:35I might have known how you'd present it
49:39If Irene won't free the ties of our marriage
49:41She must abide by its duties
49:43I retain my rights
49:45Your rights?
49:47To do what?
49:49I've not forgotten the nickname your father gave me
49:51The man of property
49:53I'm not called names for nothing
49:55She is a human being
49:57She is my wife
49:59Irene Forsyte
50:01And I'll thank you to leave her alone from now on
50:03She chooses Heron
50:05Do you hear me?
50:07Leave Mrs. Forsyte alone
50:09I'll bid you good day, sir
50:11Think very carefully, Soames
50:13Before you try to bully her
50:15She's not alone this time
50:21Dear Montague Comer
50:23I have received your letter with the news
50:25Slow down, Soames
50:27I'm not one of your clerks
50:30With the news
50:33That you
50:36Have left me
50:39For
50:41A woman
50:43And I
50:45Am
50:47Not
50:48For
50:50Ever
50:53Go on
50:56And that you are
50:58On your way
51:00To
51:02Buenos Aires
51:04Full stop
51:06I am taking this
51:08Earliest opportunity
51:10Wait, wait
51:12Earliest opportunity
51:14Earliest opportunity of writing
51:16To tell you
51:18That I am
51:20Prepared
51:22To let bygones
51:25Be bygones
51:28If you will return to me
51:31At once
51:33Full stop
51:37Soames
51:39I don't wish to sound ungrateful
51:41But I
51:43I feel I'm being pushed here
51:45Against my better instinct
51:46Of course you're being pushed
51:48So?
51:50And none of your better instincts have been worth trusting
51:52The one decision you've made in your life was to marry Doughty
51:54And what a blazing success of a husband he turned out to be
51:56That's cruel
51:58Have you no idea what you've put this family through?
52:00The shame of quashing rumours, paying off creditors
52:02Fending off the bailiff for heaven's sake
52:04And you laugh at father for looking on the gloomy side
52:06But Doughty has taken us beyond gloom
52:08And you let him do it, so yes
52:10You are being pushed
52:13Because you owe us, Winifred
52:16And we know best
52:47Time holds the secrets of our song
52:51Moments are given, then gone
52:55Come have this dance with me, darling
52:59I'll hold you tight till the dawn
53:03Let the night see how I love you
53:08So the moon can tell the sun
