Transcript
00:00A few hours later...
00:20Ladies and gentlemen, play your games.
00:30A few hours later...
01:00No, she's English.
01:01And rich.
01:03Who knows that about anybody these days?
01:30I'm serious.
01:34Ladies and gentlemen, play your games.
01:46Play your games.
01:50Invoke.
01:5417, black, unpaired and missing.
02:00Stop now.
02:02Think.
02:03You can take your winnings back home to England.
02:16My dear, what are you doing?
02:19It's crazy to play this way.
02:22But it's the only way.
02:30Invoke.
02:4028, black, unpaired and passed.
02:57Do you know that man?
03:00With Sir Hugo Ballinger?
03:03That is Daniel Doronda, his son.
03:07Adopted son, I should say.
03:10It is assumed that he is Sir Hugo's illegitimate son.
03:15Really?
03:17You are interested?
03:20Possibly.
03:22He seems not like young men in general.
03:25And you don't like young men in general?
03:27No.
03:28I don't.

04:30I don't like young men in general.
04:31I don't like young men in general.
04:32Well, dear, what do you think of the place?
04:47I think it's charming.
04:49No one need be ashamed of living here.
04:52Well, that's a relief.
04:54So clever of you, uncle, to find it for us.
04:57It would do for fallen royalty, it's so romantic.
05:00Well, there's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
05:02Come on, let's go inside.
05:15Old things, as you see, but all quite good.
05:20It's perfect.
05:22I want to do all the country things.
05:24Sketching and archery.
05:26And I shall have a horse and ride out every day.
05:29Well, you're welcome to borrow old Betsy as often as you like.
05:34No, uncle, I mean a proper horse.
05:37Something pretty, so you could be proud of me
05:40when you see me out on him.
05:42But, my dear, we must be aware of the expense.
05:45Oh, but I must.
05:48It might be managed.
05:51She always gets everything she wants.
05:53That's because I won't put up with anything less.
05:55Come on, let's explore.
05:59You're really too kind to us, Harry.
06:01Not really.
06:03I'm a rational man, Fanny, and I make rational judgments.
06:08That girl is worth some expense.
06:11There has to be an investment.
06:13PIANO MUSIC
06:28By God, she's a beautiful girl.
06:31Yes.
06:33I'm rather sorry we invited her.
06:36She does rather outshine our poor Catherine.
06:39Who is she, exactly?
06:41Gwendolyn Harleth.
06:43Her mother's Mrs Davila.
06:45Her second husband died recently.
06:47Not a man of substance or breeding.
06:50Now they've washed up here.
06:56Rex.
06:58Not for you, Rex.
07:01Why shouldn't she be?
07:03Cousins, Rex, never works.
07:05Besides, she needs to capture a fortune.
07:12Chunk!
07:14Chunk!
07:16Chunk!
07:18Encore! Encore!
07:20Encore! Encore!
07:22Yes, please, Gwendolyn.
07:24No, I couldn't possibly.
07:26It would be too cruel to a great musician.
07:29How you must despise us, Herr Klezmer.
07:31Not at all.
07:33It's always a pleasure to see you sing.
07:35I say, look here.
07:37You see what I have to go through, Gwen?
07:39Herr Klezmer can hardly tolerate anything we English do in music.
07:43I suppose we should be grateful for being told the worst.
07:47I dare say I have been very ill-taught.
07:50As well as having no talent.
07:53Yes, you have been very ill-taught.
07:55Still, you're not quite without talent.
07:58Never mind, Gwen.
08:00Coming from him, that's a great compliment.
08:03But the music you sing is beneath you.
08:07No cries of deep, mysterious passion.
08:12Well...
08:14I'm sure we would all love to hear you play.
08:24What right is that damn fellow to insult you?
08:27Every right, unfortunately.
08:30But it was sweet of you to care, Rex.
08:33Mr Klimtok.
08:35I wish you'd sing to us again.
08:37That's the style of music for me.
08:41I can never make anything of this tip-top playing.
08:44You prefer the mediocre, then?
08:46No, no, not what I...
08:49Dash it, you know what I mean.
08:51Excuse me. I must go to poor Mama.
08:54She does not like to stay out too late.
09:04Imagine being so rich
09:06that you could keep one of Europe's leading composers as a family pet.
09:11Even though he does snap and snarl rather.
09:14I don't know why anyone would want such a creature around them.
09:19But the Arrowpoints have been very kind to you, Gwendolyn.
09:23Such a pity they weren't blessed with sons.
09:26Such a pity for themselves or for us.
09:30But the Klimtoks are almost as wealthy.
09:33Did you like young Mr Klimtok?
09:36No, he's a fool, Mother.
09:38Do you know what he told me?
09:40He's writing a poem in four cantos about croquet.
09:50Is that so very bad?
09:52I wish I didn't have to be married at all.
09:55From what I've seen of it, it seems a very dreary life.
09:58So many women allow themselves to be made slaves of.
10:02All those children.
10:04Certainly not fulfilment of my ambition.
10:08Daniel!
10:09No. No. No, you must come in.
10:12Things for you to see.
10:14Daniel!
10:16Mama! Dan's here.
10:18Come and sit with us, Dan.
10:20He hasn't come for that.
10:22Stay for tea, Dan.
10:29Yes?
10:37Well, what do you think?
10:39So much life.
10:41You've been working hard, Hans.
10:43All thanks to you.
10:45At the end of term, I'd have had to go out looking for a job without your help.
10:49And now I have this chance of studying the great masters in Rome.
10:53I have more than I need. What else would I do with it?
10:56I won't forget it.
10:58And I hope one day I can pay you back.
11:01Everything's come clear for me now.
11:04I know what I want to do now, Dan.
11:06I envy you.
11:08What?
11:10Your certainty, I suppose.
11:14Have you told Sir Hugo yet?
11:19No, not yet.
11:27Leave Cambridge?
11:29Why on earth should you do that?
11:32Your tutor says you should get a fellowship.
11:35It's not what I want, sir.
11:37I want to find my own way in the world.
11:40Well, how do you propose to do that?
11:43I want to travel.
11:45Not the Grand Tour.
11:47I'd like to find out how other people live,
11:50understand their culture,
11:52I'd like to find out how other people live,
11:55understand their philosophies.
11:57I just think there has to be much more to life
12:00than Eton and Cambridge and studying classics.
12:03No, there's no doubt there is.
12:08So you don't want to be an English gentleman to the backbone after all?
12:13Yes, of course I want to be an English gentleman, sir.
12:17But I want to understand other points of view.
12:23Hmm.
12:30Didn't you spend a year or two travelling in Europe when you were younger?
12:35One year.
12:39The best and the worst year of my life.
12:46Hmm.
12:49Very well, dear, suppose we say this.
12:52You take a little time off and then join us in the summer at Loybron.
12:57Who knows, you might find what you're looking for there.
13:01Thank you, sir.
13:05Good morning.
13:07Oh, Rex, what on earth is that you're riding?
13:10Oh, Betsy, she tries her best.
13:12My father can't afford to keep a hunter for me.
13:15Not while I'm off at Oxford.
13:20You make me feel quite guilty.
13:22Why?
13:24You must know your father bought Persephone for me.
13:27It's not fair, is it?
13:29I get everything I want and you get nothing.
13:31Well, I get the pleasure of seeing you ride.
13:33Well, that's true.
13:35Shall we go hunting today?
13:37Ladies don't hunt. I'm in this part of the country.
13:40Girls' lives are so stupid. We can never do what we like.
13:43What should you like to do?
13:45Oh, I don't know. Go to the North Pole.
13:48Ride steeplechases.
13:50Oh, God.
13:51Be a queen in the East.
13:56That's Diplo Hall, Sir Hugo Mallard's place.
13:59His nephew, Mallard of Grandcourt, has taken it for the season.
14:03Of course, when Sir Hugo dies, Grandcourt will inherit this and all the rest.
14:07He'll be one of the richest men in England.
14:10Will he, indeed?
14:12Come on. I can hear the hounds.
14:38Morning, Gaston. How's your father?
14:41Very well, thank you, Mallard.
14:43Do you know of...
14:45Miss Hollis, isn't it?
14:47Glad to see you here.
14:49We've had a first-class run.
14:52How do you know to go with us?
14:54Ever try that mare and his bits?
14:57You wouldn't be afraid, I'd say. Is it all right?
14:59Not the least in the world.
15:01Good for you.
15:04Watch out! Here we go!
15:11Come on! Come on!
15:13When did it?
15:18Come on!
15:23Come on!
15:25When did it?
15:41Come on!
15:47When did it?
15:51Come on, Betsy!
15:55Come on!
15:57Come on, Betsy! Come on!
16:11Come on, Betsy.
16:19This will get your shoulder.
16:21Oh, dear.
16:23Poor you.
16:25I wish I'd seen it.
16:27Oh, no, I shouldn't say that.
16:30Is it very painful?
16:32Oh, yes, it is, rather.
16:34Sorry. This is awful of me.
16:37I am sorry, really.
16:39I want me to spend the rest of the vacation in Southampton.
16:43And I can't really say no.
16:45Southampton?
16:47What on earth for?
16:49Well, I think it's something to do with you.
16:51What do you mean?
16:55Don't you know?
16:57Well, Southampton seems a very stupid place to go to.
17:01It will be for me.
17:04Because you're not there.
17:06That's a very pretty speech.
17:08It's not meant to be a pretty speech.
17:11Will you mind about my going away?
17:14Yes, of course I shall.
17:17Everyone is important in this dreary neighbourhood.
17:20For God's sake, Gwendolyn, don't treat me as if I...
17:24I can't go away...
17:28..without telling you I love you.
17:31And knowing that you love me.
17:33A little, at least.
17:35And you do...
17:37Don't touch me! I can't bear it!
17:40I don't want to be made love to.
17:44Talk about something else or go away.
17:52What's the matter?
17:56I shall never love anybody.
17:58I can't love people.
18:00I only hate people.
18:02I only hate them.
18:20Don't break off for me.
18:22A welcome interruption.
18:24I had had already as much as I could bear of Miss Arrowpoint's playing.
18:29Her company now.
18:31Different matter entirely.
18:33And you wonder why nobody likes you.
18:35Come, Gwen, let's leave him to himself.
18:40Amara insists I wear a gold dress for the archery contest.
18:44I think she means to advertise how rich we are to Mr Grandcourt.
18:49Mr Grandcourt?
18:51Is he coming, then?
18:53Supposedly.
18:54What is he like?
18:56I don't know. I haven't met him yet.
18:58Disappointing if he should turn out to be a toad.
19:01Disappointing for some.
19:03If he turns out not to be a toad,
19:05perhaps I shall make him fall in love with me and then send him packing.
19:10What would you say to that?
19:12Nothing at all.
19:14My affections lie elsewhere.
19:16Really?
19:18Who?
19:21I can't say.
19:23You mustn't ask me.
19:25It's impossible anyway.
19:28It is.
19:47Ladies, when you are ready, you may loose your arrows.
19:59Come on.
20:22Ladies, you may connect your arrows.
20:25It's really rather scandalous of you to do so well, Gwendolyn, on your first outing.
20:32It's not my fault. If I'm to aim, I can't help hitting.
20:36That might be a fatal business for some young man.
20:39It's their lookout if they get in the way.
20:42I suppose that's what my poor boy Ricks did.
20:45Yes, I suppose it is.
20:48Grand Court, there you are at last.
20:52Miss Harloth, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Henley, Manager, Grand Court.
20:57How do you do? How do you do?
20:59Lord Brackenshaw, Mr. Gascoyne, would you come and settle a point of difference?
21:02Of course, my dear. What is it?
21:05Miss Burns is claiming a red, but I rather think she has scored a goal.
21:09I used to think archery was a great ball.
21:23And have you been converted today?
21:26Believe I have, yes.
21:35In things of this sort, one generally sees people missing and simpering.
21:42I suppose you're a first-rate shot with a rifle.
21:46I've left off shooting.
21:48But not hunting, I hear.
21:52One must do something.
21:56Are you fond of horses?
21:59Yes, I never like my life so well as when I am on horseback.
22:04I think of nothing.
22:07I only feel myself strong and happy.
22:12Good.
22:13Just missed winning the golden arrow, Gwendolyn.
22:18Juliet Benz picked you off the overall score.
22:21I'm glad to hear it.
22:23One doesn't wish to carry off the best of everything.
22:25Doesn't one? Why not?
22:28Well, one doesn't want to make oneself unpopular.
22:34Why should you care what these people think?
22:38I say, Grand Court.
22:39Yes, slosh, when I'm ready.
22:44Miss Harlan.
22:49Mr. Gascoigne.
23:00Who's the other one?
23:02Lush. He's Grand Court's friend.
23:04Goes everywhere with him, apparently.
23:06He's Grand Court's creature.
23:08Grand Court doesn't go in for friends.
23:11He keeps Lush to do things for him.
23:14What sort of things?
23:16The things he doesn't care to do himself.
23:20He looks unpleasant.
23:23I don't like him.
23:25Mr. Lush or Mr. Grand Court?
23:28Oh, Mr. Lush.
23:31Mr. Grand Court rather...
23:35interests me.
23:50Miss Harlan.
23:53Mr. Clinton.
23:55You don't care to dance?
23:57Won't you have the rest of this one with me?
24:02I don't care to waltz.
24:04Don't care to waltz?
24:06Why ever not?
24:09It's too...
24:14What do you think of Miss Arrowpoint's dress?
24:19All right.
24:22Not half as pretty as yours.
24:25They say Grand Court has come here to woo her.
24:28Do they?
24:30He's not working very hard at it.
24:33These great men.
24:35They have their own way of doing things.
24:38Miss Harlan.
24:40Do you care to dance?
24:44I would be very happy to dance the next quadrille with you.
24:55Somebody told me that you don't like dancing.
25:18True.
25:21But as you see, I make an exception for you.
25:24Should I be flattered?
25:27You should take it as a matter of course.
25:30As I think you do.
25:41You understand your power.
25:45My power?
25:47What power do I have over you?
25:51Do you like this sort of thing?
26:00Yes.
26:03Good.
26:07Shall we sit down?
26:09Yes, that's right.
26:20Oh, no.
26:21Keep it to me, Lush.
26:32I don't like that man.
26:35Few people do.
26:37But I find him useful.
26:42Miss Harlan.
26:44I should like to see more of you.
26:47You do?
27:12Shall you call on Miss Arrowpoint today?
27:15No.
27:19Nothing will come of nothing when a man intends to marry a million.
27:23But I'm not going to marry a million, Lush.
27:28That's a pity.
27:31You know, it could be very useful.
27:33Useful to you?
27:34Spare your oratory.
27:35I know what I'm going to do.
27:39What?
27:41I'm going to marry the other girl.
27:44Turn out that boot, would you?
28:02I shall get away from you.
28:04I don't think so.
28:14How do you like him?
28:15Very well.
28:18I should like to have a leap with him.
28:20Why don't you, then?
28:24Not while my mama's inside.
28:28I think she knows I would take care of you.
28:36I should like the right always to take care of you.
28:40I'm not sure I want to be taken care of.
28:42If I'm going to risk my neck, I'd rather be free to do it my own way.
29:02So, have you asked her?
29:06Not yet.
29:09I shall wait till the archery picnic, I think.
29:13And you think she'll accept?
29:17She's a fool if she doesn't.
29:20Forty-three.
29:24She has a will of her own, I think.
29:28Indeed, she has.
29:30She doesn't like you, love.
29:41My dear, you mustn't be cross.
29:45But your uncle thinks you're leading Mr. Grancourt rather a dance.
29:51Yes, perhaps I am.
29:56Has he made his intentions clear?
29:59Oh, yes. I think so.
30:01I don't understand. I thought you liked him, dear.
30:04So I do.
30:06As liking goes, there's less to dislike about him than most men.
30:11Branders, stables, tolerable figure, no horrid whiskers.
30:17Don't be serious for a moment, dear.
30:21Am I to understand that you mean to accept him?
30:25No, mama. I wish you'd leave me to myself.
30:28Because if you do mean to accept him, you should leave him in no doubt.
30:38Very well.
30:45Then I shall.
31:16Do you know how long it is since I last saw you in that dress?
31:22No.
31:23Three weeks.
31:28Do you intend to torment me much longer?
31:33No.
31:36That would make me sorry.
31:38Then would it be possible, perhaps, for us to meet in private?
31:43Oh, yes, that would be...
31:47Later, then?
31:50Yes, later.
31:53I'll take one later.
32:08Ladies, we wish you very well in your endeavour.
32:12I'll do a count of one more issue.
32:17Let's have it.
32:34Please break from your party at the Whispering Stones.
32:42You will hear something of great interest.
32:52They look dreadfully ominous, don't they?
32:57One imagines all sorts of pagan rites.
33:00Human sacrifice.
33:02Oh, don't, Gwendolyn.
33:04I'm sorry. I happen to have a delicate sensibility, Catherine.
33:07I cross this way, ladies, and then to Fortress Oaks.
33:11Don't wait. I'll catch you up.
33:22Are you there?
33:27Miss Harless?
33:30Yes?
33:33I have something to tell you about Mallinger Grancourt.
33:36What?
33:39What do you know of him?
33:41How do you know my name?
33:43Before I tell you, I want your word that you won't tell him or anyone else about him.
33:48Before I tell you, I want your word that you won't tell him or anyone else that you've seen me today.
33:53He doesn't know I'm here.
33:56Yes.
33:59Go on, please.
34:01My name is Lydia Glacier.
34:04I left my husband for Grancourt nine years ago.
34:08These children are his.
34:11Now my husband is dead.
34:13Grancourt should marry me and make my son his heir.
34:20You are very beautiful, Miss Harless, and very young.
34:26When he first knew me, I was beautiful and young.
34:32I'm...
34:34I'm very sorry for you.
34:38But what can I do? I can't make him marry you.
34:42You can promise me you won't stand between him and me.
34:45You won't ruin me and my children.
34:47How could I ruin you?
34:50By marrying him yourself.
34:56Then I shan't.
35:01You promise?
35:05Yes, I promise.
35:42Gwenda, what's the matter?
35:45Mr. Grancourt was looking for you.
35:48He may look if he likes.
35:51I don't wish to be found.
35:55Not by him, at all events.
36:04I intend to join the Langhans at Loy Bran, Mama.
36:08I shall pack as soon as we get home and take the early train.
36:11I'll be there almost as soon as they are.
36:13We can let them know by telegraph.
36:16They were dying for me to join them.
36:19Well, I've decided I shall, after all.
36:21But why?
36:24What will I say to Mr. Grancourt?
36:27Don't ask me for a reason.
36:31I shall never tell you.
36:35I shall never see Mr. Grancourt again.
36:47You are interested?
36:49Possibly.
36:51He seems not like young men in general.
36:54You want me to introduce you?
36:56Not tonight.
36:58Tomorrow, perhaps.
37:06Fräulein Harleth?
37:08Yes?
37:09This letter arrived this afternoon.
37:14No, no, no.
37:16It's from my mother.
37:20My dearest child, I hardly know how to begin.
37:24You must return to England at once.
37:27Your father's old company has collapsed and we are ruined.
37:31Oh, Gwendolyn, when I think that but a few weeks ago
37:34we might have been allied to one of the greatest families in England.
37:38But I will not speak of that.
37:40No, don't, Mama.
37:45You are wishing to raise money on it, or...?
37:48I want to sell it outright.
37:51I am leaving today and have no plans to return.
37:55Dommage.
37:59No, no, no.
38:01It's just a fact of life.
38:03I'm not going to sell it outright.
38:06I'm leaving today and have no plans to return.
38:10Dommage.
38:13It's just a family thing.
38:15Such a nuisance, but there we are.
38:17But to travel alone.
38:19I insist upon it.
38:20I love to travel alone.
38:22And you are sure you have enough money for the journey?
38:24Absolutely sure.
38:25You are too kind.
38:27I shall miss you so.
38:29And the gaming tables.
38:35Fräulein Harleth?
38:37A gentleman left this packet for you a few moments ago.
38:43Goodbye.
39:00A stranger who has found Miss Harleth's necklace returns it to her
39:03with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it.
39:10A stranger who has found Miss Harleth's necklace returns it to her with the hope that she will not again risk the loss of it.
39:30Ladies and gentlemen,
39:32you have just made a mistake.
39:41Please.
39:44Grand Court.
39:45I thought you were Diplo.
39:48Lodge.
39:50Afternoon, Sir Hugo.
39:52Aranda.
39:53What in the world brings you here?
40:02Same sort of thing as you, I dare say.
40:06But this traveling is a damn stupid, tedious business.
40:09You're not here for the sake of play, then?
40:12Some people can't get enough of it.
40:14That gambling beauty of yours, Dan, for one.
40:17Have you seen any more of her?
40:19She's gone.
40:20Real English beauty.
40:22Harleth.
40:23Was that her name?
40:24Who's here with the Langhans?
40:27But they've gone, he says.
40:30Where?
40:31The Langhans are still here. Miss Harleth has gone.
40:34It's possible that you know her. I believe she lives not far from Diplo.
40:37Yes, I know her.
40:39The rooms are ready now, are they?
40:41Yes, Sir. So sorry for the delay, Sir.
40:45Then why do you keep her standing here, man?
40:47Of course, Sir. This way.
40:52He's come here after her.
40:54He's been on the brink of marrying her, but she shied away.
40:58It's well enough she's gone.
41:00No money, no family,
41:03and dangerous as gunpowder.
41:06Flush.
41:14Well, that girl must be worth running after
41:18if she can get Grancourt to exert himself.
41:21I hope he never finds her.
41:24And why is that?
41:26Would you like to run after her yourself?
41:29You'd easily cut out Grancourt, a girl of her spirit,
41:32but certainly think you were the finer match of the two.
41:35I suppose pedigree and land belong to a fine match.
41:39The best horse will win in spite of pedigree, my boy.
41:52Never mind, Bomar, dear.
41:55Things will come right.
41:57I will do something to make things right.
42:00Come now, you must be glad,
42:03because I am here.
42:06Bless you, my darling.
42:08Of course I am.
42:12So, what is the position exactly?
42:17Well, my dear,
42:20the first thing we must do
42:24is move away from Offendene.
42:27And where are we to go?
42:31To Sawyer's Cottage.
42:39That is impossible.
42:43I couldn't live in a place like that.
42:46You wouldn't see us go to a sad little place like that, would you, Uncle?
42:52I shan't submit to it!
42:54You may not have to, Gwendolyn.
42:57I have made inquiries and heard of a very appropriate situation.
43:02A bishop's family, where there are three daughters,
43:05who would live as one of the family and be paid a hundred a year and all found.
43:09A governess, you mean?
43:11There could be no hardships in a bishop's family, dear.
43:15Excuse me, Momar, but there are hardships everywhere for a governess.
43:20What an honour
43:22to be looked down on and patronised by a bishop's family.
43:28I have some ornaments,
43:30and I could sell them. They would make us some.
43:35I'd rather emigrate than be a governess!
43:38Gwendolyn, this is pointless!
44:19I wanted to consult you, Herr Klezmer.
44:23We have lost all our fortune,
44:26and I must find a way to make my own living, if I can.
44:32And I thought, if you thought I could, that I should like to be a singer.
44:37I see.
44:38I know I have been badly taught,
44:41and I should need to study more.
44:44You are...
44:46Pardon me, you are 20 years old?
44:50Do you think I am too old to begin?
44:53Yes, of course.
44:55But it is not so much that.
44:57If you are prepared to work very hard,
45:00then in four or five years something might be achieved.
45:04As long as that?
45:07Forgive me.
45:09You are a beautiful young lady in polite society.
45:13You are seeking to enter a different world now,
45:16where no allowances are made.
45:19People would no longer pretend not to see your blunders.
45:23Have you ever seen a young woman booed off the stage?
45:28Please understand me.
45:29I don't say you are without talent.
45:32Not at all.
45:35But talent such as yours is...
45:38commonplace.
45:40An acceptable minimum.
45:42You ask my opinion.
45:44Here it is.
45:47Even if you work very hard,
45:51you must not expect to achieve any more than mediocrity.
45:56I see.
46:02But if you wish to undergo the journey,
46:05then I salute you as a fellow artist
46:08and I will do everything I can to help you.
46:10How could you help me?
46:11I couldn't even afford to take lessons from you.
46:14I would forgo the fee for my fiancé's friend.
46:20Catherine is very fond of you, you know.
46:22You are engaged to Catherine Arapoint.
46:28But you are...
46:29a Jew and a foreigner.
46:34Yes, her family aren't happy about it.
46:41But she loves me, you see.
46:51Well?
46:53Were you satisfied with the interview?
46:56Satisfied?
46:58Oh, yes.
47:00Am I not to know anything now, Gwendolyn?
47:02There is really nothing to tell now, Mama.
47:04I had a mistaken idea about something I could do.
47:07Herr Klezmer has undeceived me, that is all.
47:09Don't look and speak to me that way, my dear.
47:11I can't bear it.
47:16Mama, it's useless to cry and waste our strength
47:20over what can't be altered.
47:22You will live at Sawyer's Cottage
47:24and I am going to the Bishop's Daughters.
47:27You mustn't give way.
47:30I dread giving way.
47:33You must help me to bear it.
47:35Yes.
47:51Yes, what is it, damn you? Come in or go away.
47:54I can't speak into the garden.
48:06Writing to Miss Harloth.
48:10What's that to you, if I am?
48:12If she accepts you. There's no going back, you know.
48:15Yes, I do know that, Lush.
48:18And?
48:20You know the family have lost every penny.
48:23And in point of money, you're strapped for cash yourself
48:25until Sir Hugo dies.
48:27It would be...
48:29It's impossible that you can care for me.
48:32It's impossible that you can care much about her.
48:36You'd be encumbering yourself and getting nothing for it.
48:38I know you don't care for her much, Lush,
48:40and I know she cares for you even less.
48:43But if you think I give a damn for your feelings,
48:46you're most stupendously mistaken.
48:50Have you any idea
48:53why she ran away before?
48:56You have, apparently.
48:59I understand she saw Lydia Glacier in Cardell Chase
49:04and heard the whole story.
49:17And what follows?
49:20If you propose to her now, and she accepts you,
49:23knowing what she knows,
49:26is that the sort of woman you,
49:29or anyone, would want to marry?
49:34All right, Lush, that will be all.
49:37Mr. Grandcourt presents his compliments to Miss Harlet
49:41and begs to know whether he may be permitted
49:43to call at Offendean tomorrow after two
49:46and to see her alone.
49:50You don't like Mr. Grandcourt anymore?
49:53You don't like Mr. Grandcourt anymore, do you, Gwen?
49:56Must want him, do you?
49:58Be quiet, Bertha, there's a good dear.
50:01I think it must be answered, darling.
50:05The servant is waiting.
50:06Well, let him wait, Mother, that's what servants are for.
50:11If you don't feel able to decide.
50:14I must decide.
50:17If Mr. Grandcourt has only just returned from Lloy Bran,
50:23I wonder whether he has heard of our misfortune.
50:26That could make no difference to a man in his position.
50:29It would to some men.
50:31Look, if Mr. Grandcourt has heard,
50:35I think it is strong proof of his attachment to you.
50:41Very well, Mother.
50:43Tell the man that I shall be at home
50:45and if he makes me an offer,
50:47I shall have the pleasure of refusing him.
50:51Very well, Mother.
50:53Tell the man that I shall be at home
50:55and if he makes me an offer,
50:57I shall have the pleasure of refusing him.
51:20Your stay on the continent was short.
51:24I was obliged to come home on account of...
51:28family troubles.
51:30Yes, I've heard that.
51:33So...
51:36how does it stand with us now?
51:41What do you mean?
51:44I think you know what I mean.
51:47Well, should I put it like this?
51:51Is there anyone else who stands between us?
51:56I...
51:57Am I to understand that someone else is preferred?
52:00No.
52:06Could I ask you the same question?
52:09Yes.
52:14Is there anyone who stands between you and me?
52:19No.
52:21You need have no concerns on that account.
52:27I don't think you can know how bad our troubles are, though.
52:30We have lost everything.
52:32I am fully aware of your situation.
52:37Oh.
52:38Will you allow me to relieve you of any anxiety of that kind?
52:43You are very generous.
52:47I seek to please myself, that's all.
52:50Then you consent to be my wife?
52:57I...
52:58Then do you command me to go?
53:01No.
53:05You accept me?
53:09You accept me...
53:11as your husband?
53:22Yes.
53:38Yes.
