00:20Hudson.
00:22Sir.
00:24Bring some champagne into the drawing room when I ring.
00:26I think a bottle of the crook.
00:28Well, Angus, my boy.
00:30I'm sure you have a very good idea what I want to talk to you about.
00:32Yes, I have a faint inkling.
00:34Well, shall we have some brandy?
00:36Thank you, sir.
00:38That would be most pleasant.
00:40Coffee, darling?
00:42No, thank you, Mother.
00:44Don't be so restless.
00:46Oh, what's taking you so long?
00:48They can't be discussing his prospects.
00:50All England knows Angus owns half Scotland.
00:52I remember when your father was asking for me.
00:54Oh, Mother, please.
00:56Oh, go on, bell, ring.
00:58What for?
00:59Oh, that's how we know, stupid.
01:00That's the sign.
01:01From heaven?
01:02Oh, for Mr Hudson to take up the champagne.
01:03For engagement.
01:04Anybody you think it was you's betrothed to the young Scottish laird.
01:07Aren't you excited?
01:08I must admit to it enlivening an otherwise routine week.
01:11He's lovely, isn't he?
01:13Lovely.
01:14Very suitable.
01:15Though I never thought he'd be an Angus somehow.
01:17Be an Angus?
01:18What?
01:19His name.
01:20See, I always thought she'd marry a, um, a Michael or a William.
01:24Or a Peregrine or an Arbuthnats.
01:25Oh, you've got no romance in you, you haven't.
01:27SIREN
01:31Oh, Mother.
01:32Oh, dearest, don't be nervous.
01:33Your father will handle it all beautifully.
01:35I don't think I can go through with it.
01:37Oh, Mother.
01:45Oh, dearest, don't be nervous.
01:48Your father will handle it all beautifully.
01:50I don't think I can go through with it.
01:53What's the matter, darling?
01:54You know Angus so well and you like him so much.
01:59That's just the trouble.
02:02I like him, but I don't love him.
02:07Do you really mean that?
02:08Yes, I think I do.
02:10Well, then.
02:13You'd better think about it very seriously.
02:18What sort of person would you marry, Alfred?
02:22Let's see.
02:23It wouldn't be your colouring for a start.
02:26It'd be fair.
02:28Fair?
02:29And Christian.
02:31Well, that gives you a lot to choose from.
02:33And I'd have a certain notoriety.
02:36What?
02:36Do you mean wicked?
02:38Aye.
02:39Wicked.
02:40Would you marry a wicked person?
02:42Definitely.
02:45Soaps are zappy anyway.
02:46What?
02:47Now that Miss Elizabeth's chosen a Scotsman.
02:51Answer, Mr Hudson.
02:53I must admit to a certain satisfaction.
02:55Like the cat's cut at the cream.
02:57Sir, it must be clear to you from a frequent visits to your house that I've designs, I mean, honourable intentions on your daughter.
03:06In short, I'm asking you for a hand of the news.
03:10I didn't know you could speak well.
03:11Well, Angus, I think that's covered all the details.
03:15All that's left for me now is to offer you my warmest congratulations and welcome you into the family.
03:19Thank you very much, sir.
03:20Well, let's have another drink.
03:21And I'll break the happy news to the ladies.
03:27Here it is.
03:29That's it.
03:30Yeah, Musil Rose, keep calm.
03:32Well, it's not every day that something like this happens, Mr Hudson.
03:35Thank heavens for that, but there's no knowing with the capriciousness of modern young girls nowadays.
03:40Here.
03:41Was he getting at me?
03:43Oh, I don't know.
03:43Mr Hudson speaks in riddles like the Sphinx.
03:47Hudson?
03:48Yes?
03:49You can take that back.
03:50It won't be needed.
03:53Thank you.
03:54Oh, Elizabeth.
03:55I'm very sorry, Angus dear, but I can't marry you.
03:58You can't mean that.
04:00I'm sorry, but I've changed my mind.
04:02What is this?
04:02What's happened?
04:03Papa, please try to understand.
04:05Angus, you're very sweet and very kind, and you're going to make someone a wonderful husband, but not me.
04:11But Elizabeth, you led me to believe that you...
04:13I know, and I blame myself.
04:15I just hope that one day you'll forgive me.
04:17Oh, it's got nothing to do with you believe me.
04:21Perhaps I'm just not made for marriage.
04:22I don't know.
04:24I don't think I shall marry for a long time anyway.
04:26I have to see the possibilities of life first.
04:30You say that as though life at Loch Bray with me had no possibilities.
04:33But it could have Elizabeth.
04:36We'd have to live there most of the time, true.
04:39But she'd love the lochs and the moors.
04:41And would travel.
04:43We'd go to other countries as well.
04:44And would have fine children to love and to look after and to be proud of.
04:50It's no good, Angus.
04:51I hope you've thought about this very carefully.
04:53Yes, I have, Papa.
04:54Really, I have.
04:55I'm sorry I've caused so much trouble.
05:04Maybe she'll change her mind again with time.
05:07By knowing Elizabeth as I do, once she's made up her mind to do something this precious little one can do to change it.
05:14Believe me, Angus, you have my sympathy and my affection.
05:18Thank you, sir.
05:20I value it.
05:23I think perhaps there's little point in my staying any longer.
05:27Yes, Angus.
05:29I understand.
05:32Hudson?
05:34Mr. McAllister is leaving.
05:36Pretty good, sir.
05:37Well, goodbye, my boy.
05:45I'm sorry.
05:47Yes, well.
05:49Goodbye, sir.
05:53Come in.
05:57Oh, Papa, I'm sorry.
06:00No, no, my darling.
06:01It was just that Angus seemed, in the view of your mother and myself, to embrace all the virtues.
06:09Embrace all the virtues?
06:11It would take a superman to embrace all the virtues, and a very dull superman, too.
06:15You're misunderstanding me.
06:16I know.
06:18Deliberately.
06:19I only mean well.
06:21I know you do, Papa, and you made things much easier just by being there.
06:25Poor Angus.
06:27Do you think I hurt him very much?
06:28Given time, he'll get over it.
06:29And find a much nicer girl than me.
06:32I would like to be married, but not yet.
06:35And not to dear, sweet Angus.
06:37I mean, can you imagine me banished to all those acres in Invernessshire?
06:41I'd be lost to you both, and to myself.
06:44Well, my girl knows best.
06:47And I only want to be happy.
06:51My dear, I do sympathise.
06:52Daughters can be such a trial.
06:55I sometimes wish we were back in those simple, barbaric days when things were just arranged as a fait accompli.
07:01My bill, please.
07:02Of course, poor Angus McAllister, for all his evidence suitability, is just a teeny bit of an encumbrance.
07:09You know, he pursued Agatha all last spring.
07:12She had to be quite ruthless with him in the end.
07:14Really?
07:15Dick, my dear fellow.
07:18May I join you?
07:19Adam, of course.
07:20Do sit down.
07:21Thank you.
07:23Will you have a drink?
07:25Thanks very much, over.
07:26Purvis.
07:28What will you take?
07:29A whiskey and soda.
07:32I say, there's the most jolly rumour circulating that your daughter has snubbed old Hamish McAllister's son.
07:39Is it really true?
07:40Well, if you choose to put it that way.
07:42Well, I must say, I couldn't be more delighted.
07:43I mean, I'm sorry for the boy.
07:44He's not a bad young cove.
07:46But anything that sets old Hamish's nose a quiver has me prancing with delight.
07:53But I hope there'll be no political repercussions.
07:55The Scots are such a sensitive bunch, they'll probably start wanting home rule again.
08:00Oh, Rose, I seem to have caused so much trouble.
08:03Do you think I should have married him?
08:04No, Miss Lizzie, not if you didn't love him.
08:06He was so suitable.
08:08Yes, I know, but all the same.
08:10Tell me about your young man.
08:11What, Miss Lizzie?
08:12The one you nearly married, to take my mind off myself.
08:15He was killed, Miss Lizzie.
08:16I thought you knew.
08:17Oh, yes, Rose, I'm sorry.
08:20There you are, you see, I was only thinking of myself.
08:23We must remedy this immediately.
08:25How?
08:25A series of outings, new interests, painting exhibitions, concerts, and you shall accompany me.
08:31Me, Miss Lizzie?
08:32You, Rose, and we shall start this very afternoon, if we can find something suitable.
08:36Ah, Alfred, have you seen Rose?
08:39It's her afternoon off, Mr. Okson.
08:41Yes, yes, I know that, but she promised to help me decorate that infernal Christmas tree.
08:44Aye, well, she's gone with Miss Elizabeth to one of them foreign concerts.
08:48How much, please?
08:49Two shillings, please, miss.
08:50Thank you, keep it so much.
08:51Thank you.
08:52Good night.
08:53Well, Rose, aren't you glad you came?
08:54Your first leader concert.
08:56And wasn't Elena Gerhardt...
08:57Yes, Miss Lizzie.
08:59Oh, Rose, you are delicious.
09:00You were bored still.
09:00What a morning.
09:01I saw you.
09:02Well, I think it takes a bit of getting used to.
09:04You're quite right, and you shall get used to it.
09:06We'll go again.
09:08Look, it's snowing quite hard.
09:10Perhaps we shall have a white Christmas.
09:12I think you'd better go in, Miss Lizzie.
09:13You'll get your death a cold.
09:14And so will you, Rose.
09:16I'll see you later.
09:16And thank you very much for taking me, Miss Lizzie.
09:21It was very kind of you.
09:23Nonsense.
09:23I enjoyed taking you.
09:30Come, Elizabeth.
09:32Thank you, Hudson.
09:33It's snowing.
09:34When are you going to decorate the tree?
09:35In the shop, Miss?
09:36I'd better take your coat in case it's damp.
09:38I trust you enjoyed the concert?
09:42Very much, thank you, Hudson.
09:43I took Rose.
09:44So I was informed, Miss.
09:45Well, it was her afternoon off.
09:47Indeed.
09:48Is Mother at home?
09:49Yes, Miss.
09:50She is receiving a visitor in the drawing room.
09:51Ah, friend or foe.
09:53Beg pardon, Miss?
09:54I mean, should I go in or slip by the door unnoticed?
09:57I think Our Ladyship will be pleased to see you.
09:59The visitor is foreign.
10:01You make it sound as if Our Ladyship is positively threatened, Hudson.
10:04How foreign?
10:05Just a little bit foreign, like a Scotsman.
10:08He is a German gentleman.
10:10I understand he made your acquaintance in Dresden.
10:12Oh.
10:12A Baron von Rimmer.
10:15Von Rimmer, von Rimmer, who couldn't feed him up?
10:19Baron Klaus von Rimmer.
10:21We met at the Tussens tennis party.
10:23Tussens?
10:24Tennis?
10:25Yes, darling, you remember.
10:26She has every reason to forget, Lady Marjorie.
10:29I remember she was suffering with the grievous head coat.
10:32It was very gallant of her to attend at all.
10:34Oh, yes, now I remember.
10:36Oh, forgive me, Baron.
10:37I was a misery that day.
10:38On the contrary, you looked enchanting.
10:41Only your game was a little affected.
10:46The Baron is staying in London for a few weeks to study...
10:50Banking methods over here at the Deutsche Reichsbank.
10:52I hope you'll forgive my presumption in calling on you.
10:56It's no presumption, Baron.
10:58We're delighted to receive you, aren't we, Elizabeth?
11:00We should be more than delighted, Mother dear.
11:02We should be deeply honoured.
11:03But of all the people the Baron must know in London,
11:06he should have singled us out.
11:08We scarcely exchanged more than six words at the Tussens tennis party.
11:11Elizabeth!
11:11Oh, no, please.
11:13First, let me say, I have very few friends in London.
11:17I was feeling lonely in my lodgings in Victoria,
11:19and I remembered that among the six words I have changed
11:22with a certain delightful foreign bellamy
11:26were included the names Schubert and Goethe,
11:29who between them produced them with the finest leader sounds...
11:31But I've just been thrilling, the Baron. Isn't that a coincidence?
11:35You've been hearing the exquisite Gerhard.
11:38Yes, she was superb.
11:40She's one of the most charming singers I know.
11:43You know, Elena Gerhard.
11:45Yes. I was once privileged to study with her in Munich.
11:49Tell us about her, please.
11:50With pleasure.
11:57Did you make much of it, then?
11:59What's that, Mr. Hudson?
11:59The concert, of course.
12:03Oh, it was lovely.
12:04When you got used to it?
12:06I hope you hadn't fooled into thinking
12:07it was the cat's whispers in musical entertainment.
12:09No, I've got a mind of me own.
12:11And I hope it stays your own, Rose.
12:13There are dangers being made to a headstrong young lady like Miss Elizabeth.
12:16Oh, what's she done to upset you, Mr. Hudson?
12:18Nothing in particular.
12:20I'm referring more to the matter of respect.
12:22It has to work both ways.
12:23Oh, I know that.
12:24Oh, very well, packing young mistresses off to foreign parts
12:27to advance their education,
12:28but it's not altogether a good thing, in my opinion.
12:31They get taken advantage of.
12:33Oh, in what way?
12:34Oh, heads filled up with foolish ideas,
12:37manners forgotten,
12:38loyalties questioned.
12:40And don't think it's not calculated by the foreign teachers.
12:43There's a special name for it.
12:45Well?
12:47Subversion, if you want to know it.
12:49That is a deliberate pulling at the roots of a country
12:51through its young men and young women,
12:52twisting their minds so that in a time of crisis...
12:54Oh, Mr. Hudson,
12:56you're not suggesting that our Miss Liz...
12:58I'm not suggesting anything, Rose.
13:00I'm simply giving warning.
13:01The signs are all there.
13:03Free God, I'm wrong.
13:04What signs, Mr. Hudson?
13:06Mr. Hudson has some funny notions.
13:08That's enough of that.
13:09Going on about them dirty foreigners again, are you?
13:11And that's enough from you, young man.
13:12If only it were, Mr. Hudson.
13:14But her ladyship asked me to inform you
13:16that the Baron's staying for dinner.
13:19No sooner had I returned from Dresden,
13:22they went to work on me,
13:23preparing me for the season.
13:25Do you know about the season?
13:26Oh, yes, of course, the season.
13:27Oh, really, darling?
13:28It's true.
13:29While I was aching to talk about music and philosophy
13:32and the people I'd met,
13:33they had me walking and dancing
13:35and bobbing up and down
13:35like one of Professor Pavlov's dogs.
13:37That's a terrible exaggeration.
13:39We simply asked you to enter the room
13:41like a battering ram.
13:42Oh, Mother, how indetiquette
13:43of battering you, at the very least.
13:46Same sort of problem in your family, Baron?
13:48Oh, yes, my mother with my little sister.
13:51I see.
13:52You take their side.
13:53You prefer young ladies
13:54to be simply frivolous and vain.
13:55Very well, that's how you feel, Hux.
13:57There's room for compromise.
13:58You can express yourself
13:59within the framework of society.
14:02How, Baron?
14:03When I am told it is not ladylike,
14:05indeed worse,
14:06it is a serious disadvantage
14:08for a girl to be thought clever.
14:09My Aunt Kate's words.
14:11How can I express myself?
14:13I'm the educated daughter of a politician
14:15and I'm expected to discuss the weather.
14:16No politics.
14:18You see, Baron,
14:19because of my husband's position,
14:20there is a real danger
14:21that Elizabeth could be taken advantage of.
14:23Oh, yes, I see.
14:24What my dear mother really means
14:26is that she's afraid
14:27I might misbehave
14:27and cause a scandalari.
14:30But I'd never compromise my papa.
14:32I'd love him far too much.
14:35Well, you're getting a glimpse
14:36into our society, Baron.
14:37How does it compare
14:38with yours in Germany?
14:39Most very well, sir,
14:40in spite of Elizabeth's protest.
14:42But then I'm much in love with England.
14:45Why?
14:46Why?
14:47Yes, you've seen very little of it.
14:49Oh, it's not the quantity,
14:50it's the quality of life
14:52which charms me.
14:53And I must declare an interest.
14:56I have a cousin by marriage
14:57who was related to Queen Victoria.
14:59More than we can boast of.
15:02But I'm very much concerned for England
15:05now that these intrepid liberals
15:06have taken power.
15:07Why do you use that word, intrepid?
15:09Because they wish it is armed.
15:12Don't write us off too soon.
15:14There's still the election to come.
15:16In Germany, Mr. Belfour
15:17is much admired.
15:19Even though he sees Germany
15:20as a potential enemy
15:21and has taken measures
15:21to strengthen our defences.
15:23All countries have a right
15:24to protect their own shores.
15:26And the more everyone is protected,
15:28the less possibility of war.
15:29I'm sure your father
15:30would agree with me.
15:32You would spend money on arms
15:33which might more profitably
15:34help the poor and uneducated.
15:35It's the poor and uneducated
15:37who first need our protection.
15:38I'm sure we'd all agree with that.
15:40But the conversation
15:40is becoming much too serious.
15:42Can't we think of a more
15:43diverting topic?
15:45Tell us about your lodgings, Baron.
15:47Did you say they were in Victoria?
15:49Yes, they are.
15:51After your terrifying experiences
15:52in Victoria,
15:53I only hope this is free of bedbugs.
15:55I have no such fears.
15:57Now then,
15:57I take it you have no valet.
15:59That is so.
16:00My uncle was anxious
16:01I should make this trip
16:02virtually incognito
16:03and I should have no special favours.
16:05He is the director
16:06of the bank
16:07I'm studying at.
16:08What will he say
16:08now I've found myself
16:10such a delightful home?
16:11Well, but you must be looked after.
16:13You should be valeted
16:14by Alfred here
16:14for the duration of your stay.
16:16That would seem admirable.
16:18You're very kind.
16:19Thank you.
16:24Mother dear,
16:25how impulsive you are.
16:27Whatever will the gossip say?
16:28Don't be idiotic.
16:32Alfred.
16:35Alfred.
16:36Yes, Baron.
16:38King Alfred
16:39who burnt the cakes.
16:42So I'm told, Baron,
16:43that it's my duty usually
16:45to hand them around.
16:46My dear,
16:54there's no point
16:54in hiding the fact
16:55you've unearthed
16:56the potential lion
16:57after his spanking debut
16:59at the Morrisons last night.
17:00How did you come by him?
17:01I didn't come by him, Prudence.
17:03You make me sound
17:04like some sort of beachcomber
17:06on the key viva for valuables.
17:08It's not a bad description.
17:10Don't you think
17:10this might be a bit heavy
17:11for spring?
17:12Oh, no, Lady Prudence.
17:13Show me something
17:14in a lighter weight, girl.
17:15If you really want to know,
17:16he came by us.
17:17You mean he just materialised
17:19on the doorstep?
17:20More or less.
17:21Elizabeth met him
17:21very briefly in Dresden.
17:23Well, well,
17:24so she's captured a Baron.
17:26I'm surprised, dear,
17:27I must say,
17:27after her rather
17:28unorthodox behaviour
17:30since her return.
17:31Not exactly the glittering
17:32Belle Jean Fille.
17:34Ah, now that's
17:35much more my colour.
17:36Yes, and it's softer.
17:37Mm.
17:38Yes, I like this.
17:40It has style.
17:41Give me ten yards.
17:42Do you wish it sent, April?
17:44No, have it wrapped
17:44and taken out
17:45to my carriage.
17:47I suppose he is a Baron.
17:49I mean, a real one.
17:50Well, of course he is.
17:51He's a true blue Junker.
17:52The de Tocquefields
17:53know his family.
17:54Oh, well, that's a relief.
17:56One hears such dreadful
17:57stories these days.
17:59One's confidence
18:00in foreign gentlemen
18:01is apt to be blunted.
18:02Oh, now that would make
18:05a lovely dress
18:06for dear Agatha.
18:07She can wear bright colours.
18:09Is he in love with her?
18:10Is Elizabeth?
18:11Well, of course.
18:11Who else are we talking about?
18:13Well, it's much too early
18:13to talk of such things.
18:15She's only known him a week.
18:16Actually, I think
18:17it's rather the opposite.
18:18She's not at all
18:19impressed by him.
18:20Oh, well, then you must
18:21bring him to dinner with us
18:22without delay.
18:23Agatha's home
18:24and looking quite ravishing.
18:25Prudence, I have no intention
18:26of parading him
18:27like a prize ball.
18:28Nonsense, Marjorie.
18:29What else would you do with him?
18:31Yes, that would definitely
18:32suit Agatha.
18:33Send me six yards.
18:34With pleasure, Lady Prudence.
18:36Bravo, bravo.
18:56Warum spielst du immer
18:57deutsche Musik?
18:58In England gibt's
18:58fabelhafte Komponisten.
19:00Zum Beispiel?
19:01Elgar.
19:02Ja, vielleicht.
19:03Vielleicht?
19:04Now, here is a tune.
19:05Listen, listen.
19:12You're laughing at me.
19:15All the time you make fun of me.
19:17Why?
19:18It's my protection against you.
19:20You need protection.
19:22Like the poor and uneducated.
19:26Deutschland, Deutschland
19:28Über alles
19:30God save our
19:32gracious king
19:34Long live
19:36our noble king.
19:39We make good harmony,
19:41don't we?
19:42Now, you play.
19:44Oh, no, please.
19:45Oh, yes, I insist.
19:47Since you claim
19:48to have studied
19:49with Elena Gerhardt,
19:50the stage is yours.
19:52You sing.
20:06You sing.
20:06Good morning, Lady Marjorie.
20:24Good morning, Lady Marjorie.
20:36Oh, good morning, class, dear.
20:37Did you sleep well?
20:39To borrow an English expression,
20:40like a top, Lady Marjorie.
20:42Good.
20:43Good morning, sir.
20:43Morning, Baron.
20:51Scrambled eggs, I think.
20:53And some coffee, please, sir.
20:55Aunt Kate writing
20:56from Monte Carlo.
20:58She says she's all right,
20:59but the place is infested
21:00with Frenchmen.
21:02Well, that's not surprising,
21:03is it?
21:04No.
21:05Good news, I hope,
21:07in the word.
21:08I beg your pardon?
21:09The newspaper.
21:10Oh, yes.
21:11What are your plans
21:11for today, Klaus?
21:12Oh, Elizabeth has promised
21:13to take me
21:14to the Houses of Parliament.
21:15Oh, that'll be nice.
21:17Have you chosen
21:17an interesting day?
21:19Not at all, I'm afraid.
21:20Most of it will be taken up
21:21by some minor fishing squabble.
21:23A naval matter?
21:25Are you particularly
21:25interested in naval matters?
21:27Oh, I see.
21:27He's in our family.
21:29I thought it was banking.
21:30Both.
21:31One uncle is a banker,
21:32another an admiral.
21:34Christmas card
21:35from that fearful Lady Mackwood.
21:36Funny how she's
21:37always the first.
21:38Will you be at the house
21:39today, sir?
21:40I shall be later,
21:41but this morning
21:41I'll have a meeting.
21:42Committee of Imperial Defence.
21:47It's not a secret,
21:48is it?
21:48Elizabeth told me.
21:49What did I tell you?
21:51Morning, Mother, dear.
21:52Morning, darling.
21:54Morning, Papa.
21:55Morning, darling.
21:56You must forgive
21:57my curiosity, sir,
21:58but I'm, as you may have judged,
22:00a keen student of politics.
22:01Que juree, d'evee.
22:03The theory or the practice?
22:04What?
22:05A tea or coffee,
22:05Miss Elizabeth?
22:06Coffee, please.
22:07A lesson from
22:07Tenny Martindale
22:08back in England.
22:09We must ask her over.
22:09Perhaps we could talk sometime.
22:12Her handwriting hasn't improved.
22:14I should be delighted.
22:15This evening?
22:15Not this evening, class.
22:16We're going to the de Tocqueville's,
22:17then on to the opera.
22:18But sometime soon, I hope.
22:20Oh, surely.
22:20Now, do you excuse me a moment.
22:23Oh, dear.
22:24How stupid of me.
22:27Can I do anything?
22:28No, thank you.
22:29With Alfred's help.
22:31Did you want to speak to me?
22:32Yes.
22:34Is it serious?
22:36Well, no, nothing that can't be
22:36mopped up.
22:37Alfred's seeing to it.
22:38What?
22:38You mean the spill?
22:39No.
22:40I meant the relationship
22:41between Elizabeth and our guest.
22:43Well, I thought I detected
22:44something across the table
22:45between them.
22:46Well, now you come to mention it,
22:47yes, I think there has been a change.
22:49Why, darling, does it worry you?
22:51No, not yet.
22:53It is a Junker, you know.
22:54One of the best and worthiest families.
22:56She could do worse.
22:57Oh, yes.
22:58It could be a tradesman's son
22:59with radical views.
23:01Oh, red.
23:03We take me to the houses of Parliament.
23:07You're looking very pleased with yourself?
23:09We're in love.
23:09Who's we?
23:10We are, in a manner of speaking.
23:13What are you talking about?
23:14Being but the reflections of our masters.
23:17Oh, Alfred.
23:18Get off!
23:20Alfred, we see Bridget's here.
23:22Will you please put me down?
23:26What's the matter, Mr. Hudson?
23:29Don't you believe in love?
23:31I believe in it.
23:32If it's kept in his police,
23:34don't.
23:35But not between us and them, eh?
23:39Foreigners.
23:40Do you want to know something?
23:42Germany's beginning to appeal to me.
23:43I've been hearing a lot about it lately.
23:45When?
23:45In the course of my duties.
23:47Why don't you go there, then?
23:49Do you know I might and all.
23:53What's this?
23:54Huh?
23:55Oh.
23:56I was wondering when you'd notice it.
23:58Would you like it?
23:59Where'd you get it?
24:00It's a present from my master.
24:01The baron gave you that?
24:04I serve no other master.
24:06Not at the moment, anyway.
24:11Well?
24:12What's wrong?
24:13There's no law against getting a present, is there?
24:15It is Christmas, Mr. Scrooge.
24:17Well, you've got what you asked for.
24:21I was spellbound.
24:22Such pomp and tradition.
24:23Grim speech, all of them.
24:29Your Thames is very wide here.
24:31Not so wide as the Rhine of Coe.
24:33But more important.
24:36Are we as great as the fatherland?
24:39Oh, in some ways, greater.
24:40Your empire.
24:41It's cracking.
24:42System of government.
24:43Oof.
24:43The men it produces.
24:44Men like your father, incorruptible.
24:46Oh.
24:47Why do you laugh?
24:49He's a clergyman, son.
24:51It must show.
24:53And he wouldn't thank you for it.
24:54Makes him sound like one of those old diehards.
24:57He's more liberal.
24:59Oh, careful.
24:59He's, uh, what do we say?
25:01Open-minded.
25:03Flexible, I think.
25:03Flexible.
25:04What you have to realize about father is,
25:07he married into the party.
25:09Oh, he was very clever, and he went to Oxford and things.
25:11But he owes his career entirely to my mother's family.
25:14Diehards?
25:15Yes, rather.
25:16I think he feels trapped on the home front.
25:19That's why he's concentrated more on foreign affairs.
25:21I may be wrong.
25:22I assume from what you say that he's dependent on your mother's family financially.
25:27Oh, yes.
25:28Everybody knows that.
25:30Is he ambitious?
25:31Much as the next night.
25:33But it would need a courageous, perhaps unorthodox step for him truly to break free.
25:37Yes.
25:38Have you something to suggest?
25:42Sorry about that, will they?
25:44I have to sit a definite speaker.
25:45It's freezing out here.
25:47Come in and have some tea.
25:48Well, there you are, Alan.
26:04Good evening, sir.
26:06I was just admiring your chandelier.
26:10Oh, really?
26:11Nothing very remarkable about it.
26:12Are you sure?
26:13Reminds me of one I once saw in Florence.
26:16Very beautiful and very valuable.
26:19Well, Ben, let's stop all this, shall we?
26:20You clearly have a proposition to make.
26:22Why don't you frankly declare yourself?
26:25And then I can call off the hounds who are, at this very moment, making an exhaustive study of your background.
26:30Nothing would give me greater pleasure.
26:32My business card.
26:37I see.
26:39Well, I was never very convinced by your banking story.
26:42So they're employing young barons to do their sales talk these days.
26:46I thought you might have known that.
26:48Come on, Rose.
26:48Tell me the symptoms.
26:49Oh, you asking me, Miss Lizzie?
26:51Yes, you read Hilda's Home Companion.
26:53Isn't that what they were always concerned with?
26:55Oh, I think it's a bit different in there.
26:56Well, why should it be?
26:57It's the same for all of us.
26:58We all get the same pains.
26:59You've got a pain, Miss Lizzie.
27:00Yes, Rose.
27:01Whereabouts?
27:02All over, and it's rather delicious.
27:05But the funny thing is, I don't like him very much.
27:08You don't like him?
27:09No.
27:09Can you believe that?
27:11I love him, I think.
27:14But I don't like him.
27:16Oh, Rose, isn't it marvellous?
27:18Aren't you happy for me?
27:19Yes, Miss Lizzie.
27:20Oh, I'm happy.
27:21But someone isn't.
27:22Who?
27:23Well, it's nothing like that,
27:24and I know I shouldn't have said anything really,
27:26but it's Mr Hudson.
27:28Hudson?
27:30Yeah, well, it's nothing against the Baron personally.
27:33It's just a general dislike he has a foreigner's,
27:36and he will keep going on about it.
27:38He's heard that there are thousands of Germans
27:41already in this country on the south coast
27:45working as waiters and hairdressers,
27:48but they are all really trained soldiers,
27:51and if there ever should be an invasion,
27:53they'll all rise up and slaughter us in our beds.
27:56So you see your country, not France, as our aggressor?
28:03Oh, yes, of course, don't you?
28:05Germany plans to absorb Holland into her empire.
28:08We have 70 million people.
28:10We want commercial pre-eminence.
28:13England has only 40 million,
28:15and France the same,
28:16so you'll have to join forces,
28:18and the low countries will be the battlefield.
28:20Can't be long delayed,
28:21particularly if the Liberals gain power and try to disarm.
28:25In the event of war,
28:26I don't think you'd find us unprepared.
28:28That is not enough, sir.
28:30To maintain peace and avert catastrophe,
28:32your fleet must actually be superior.
28:35And your German munitions company
28:37have suggestions to keep us superior
28:39in the interests of peace?
28:40Mr. Bellamy,
28:43there are many in my country,
28:44artists, musicians, philosophers,
28:46and ordinary people,
28:47who are appalled at the upsurge of nationalism,
28:50who seek only to live their lives
28:52in a peaceful and united Europe.
28:55And some of them work in armaments firms.
28:58Yes.
28:58Why not?
28:59Oh, come now, Baron.
29:00We all know about the gentlemen
29:01who sell arms to both sides,
29:03then stand back and watch them engage.
29:06What is it you have to sell?
29:07It's a new form of naval gun mounting
29:11for His Majesty's battleships.
29:14These are some preliminary details and costs.
29:19You will see as you study it,
29:21it's far superior to anything
29:22that vicars have to offer at the present time.
29:25Naturally, of course,
29:26otherwise you wouldn't be here.
29:28Any deal of this sort
29:29would give you access
29:31to many of our naval secrets.
29:33Most of your secrets
29:34are known to us already, I'm told.
29:37As I continually emphasize,
29:39we seek only for...
29:40Yes, yes, tell me,
29:41why didn't you approach our government
29:42from the proper channel?
29:45I'm sorry, sir.
29:46You are a former
29:47undersecretary of state
29:48for the admiralty
29:48and a member
29:49of the Committee of Imperial Defense.
29:51Are you not a proper channel?
29:53I was referring to
29:54your befriending of my daughter in Dresden,
29:56your subsequent maneuverings
29:57into my household.
29:59My dear chap,
29:59I don't particularly mind.
30:01I was just curious to know
30:02how you fellows operate these days.
30:04I admit I had to gain access
30:06to your confidant.
30:07Using Elizabeth?
30:08Yes.
30:09It was my method.
30:11But it was in your best interest, too.
30:13My company couldn't openly
30:14approach the British government.
30:16The selling of arms
30:17is the most delicate matter
30:18for all concerned.
30:19So really,
30:20you're just testing the bathwater?
30:22A little more positive
30:24than that, I hope.
30:26But, uh,
30:27as for the feelings
30:29which have developed
30:30between Elizabeth and myself here,
30:31this is a separate matter
30:33and will remain separate
30:35from any dealings
30:36we might have.
30:36Well, I don't see how
30:37you can divorce the two things entirely,
30:39but no matter.
30:39Obviously, you are mistrustful.
30:41Sir, I have the greatest respect
30:43for your daughter.
30:44I would never do anything
30:44to hurt her feelings.
30:45Yes, all right.
30:46I have no doubt
30:46she can take care of herself.
30:50Tell me,
30:50what are you expecting me
30:52to do with these papers?
30:53And you have satisfied yourself
30:54that they're genuine
30:55to use your influence
30:57and persuade your government
30:59to enter a contract
31:00with my company.
31:01But haven't you come
31:02to the wrong chap?
31:03I mean, I'm no longer
31:04part of this government
31:05or likely to be.
31:06You remain on the Committee
31:07of Imperial Defense
31:08and that is what matters to us.
31:12Perhaps I should add
31:13that the contract
31:14would be made
31:14for obvious political reasons
31:17through a Swiss subsidiary
31:18which my company
31:20will control, of course.
31:22Quite.
31:24Well, Baron,
31:25I'll look through these papers
31:27and if I see fit...
31:28And it goes without saying.
31:31Should you be interested
31:32in a substantial shareholding
31:34in this Swiss company,
31:35I mean you personally,
31:37it can be arranged.
31:39I see, yes.
31:41Such financial interlockings
31:42between our two countries
31:44can only enhance
31:45the prospects of peace.
31:46Indeed.
31:48However,
31:48there's plenty of time
31:50to discuss this side of things.
31:52You'll see the sign is...
31:55Oh, sorry.
31:57Alice.
31:58Am I...
31:58Am I...
31:58My Schatz,
32:00you see entzückend
32:01out.
32:01It's really
32:02very terrifying.
32:03Thank you very much,
32:04Herr Baron.
32:06Thank you, Purvis.
32:07Thank you, sir.
32:10Have you read the documents?
32:11Rather.
32:12What do you think?
32:13Are they bona fide here?
32:13Oh, absolutely.
32:14And the price?
32:15Very fair.
32:17So under normal circumstances
32:18we might have bought.
32:20Why not by now?
32:22Oh, my dear Adam.
32:23It's obvious what's behind it.
32:25We're trying to set up
32:26an intelligence organisation
32:27right in our very midst.
32:28Well, don't you agree?
32:30I can't deny it's possible.
32:32Thank you.
32:33But you've got to consider
32:34the types you're dealing with.
32:36These armaments creatures.
32:39They're above
32:39nationalistic considerations.
32:41I mean,
32:41just look at their pedigrees
32:42as individuals.
32:43Half the nations of Europe
32:44in their blood.
32:46They're in it
32:47purely and simply
32:48for the loot.
32:48What about their agents?
32:50Men like von Rimmer?
32:51The dedicated anglifers?
32:52Mm-hmm.
32:53Mm.
32:54They're the interesting specimens.
32:57I say,
32:58is it true
32:59what I hear about
33:00this fellow
33:00and your daughter?
33:01Oh, never mind that.
33:02Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
33:03No, no, I'm sorry.
33:04Well,
33:05let's just think for a minute.
33:07Military speaking,
33:09there's something to offer.
33:10And it's politically sound
33:12vis-à-vis
33:13the election of the Liberals.
33:14Yes, we could whip up
33:15a scare about
33:15Tirpitz's ever-growing fleet.
33:17Exactly.
33:18And, uh,
33:20on the personal front,
33:22I take it you've been
33:23offered a hefty bribe?
33:25Hmm.
33:26Well, haven't you?
33:27Shares in a Swiss bank.
33:29Hmm.
33:29Standard procedure.
33:30Is it?
33:30Of course.
33:31I forgot you're new to this game.
33:33Yes, so,
33:35personally,
33:37we'd start again.
33:38We?
33:39Well, you'd count me in,
33:40wouldn't you?
33:41Kai Tally Ho
33:42and all for peace
33:42and away we go.
33:44Ho, ho, ho, ho.
33:45Couple of shifted profiteers.
33:48Will you never be persuaded?
33:50I can't forget my humble
33:52and pious origins.
33:53I know, Dick.
33:55And that's your epitaph.
33:58Meantime,
33:58what do we do about the Baron?
34:00We can't make a move against him
34:01until we've actually agreed
34:03to be corrupted.
34:04Well, uh,
34:05yes.
34:07Well, these people
34:08usually have a few
34:09incriminating documents
34:10they want us to sign.
34:11We'd better wait for them,
34:12I suppose.
34:13We'll need a witness.
34:14Well, that's easy enough.
34:16I think the best thing
34:17is to rig up a meeting.
34:19Say, uh,
34:19dinner at your house
34:20next week?
34:21He plans to leave
34:22next Tuesday.
34:23Monday, then.
34:25Sort of fond farewell.
34:28You agree?
34:29Good.
34:30Yes.
34:31It's time he pounced
34:32on one of them.
34:33In Germany,
34:34Christmas Eve
34:35is the true moment
34:36of Christmas.
34:37Tell me about it.
34:39What do you do?
34:40Well, uh,
34:42in my family,
34:43father and mother
34:44decorate the Christmas tree.
34:46Nobody's allowed to see it
34:48until they are finished
34:49and the candles are lit.
34:51Father rings a little bell
34:53and we all go in
34:55and we look at the tree
34:57and the children sing carols
34:59and we all open our presents.
35:02Go on.
35:03Well, uh,
35:05we always have snow
35:07for Christmas
35:08and the pine trees
35:10around the house
35:11stand out white
35:12against the sky
35:13and the stars
35:14glitter in the cold.
35:16It's beautiful,
35:18like fairyland.
35:20Tell me some more.
35:22Then we have
35:23our great big Christmas dinner.
35:25We have goose every year.
35:27It's a tradition
35:27in my family
35:28and we have lots of wine
35:29and we all have a feeling
35:33that there's no other place
35:34on earth
35:35to be on Christmas Eve.
35:37Can you understand that?
35:39Not even here
35:40with me.
35:41Of course with you
35:43but not here, there.
35:46Then take me with you.
35:47To Germany tomorrow?
35:49Why not?
35:51Your family.
35:52Oh, they wouldn't mind.
35:54Take me with you, please.
35:55I love you.
35:59I want to share
36:00everything with you.
36:02I want to be with your family
36:03on Christmas Eve.
36:05I want to see your candles lit
36:08and hear your carols.
36:10Please, Klaus.
36:11It would make me very happy
36:12and I'd make you happy too.
36:14I promise you.
36:14No, it's not possible.
36:21Next year, perhaps.
36:25My bill, please.
36:29Oh, there you are, darlies.
36:30I was beginning to worry.
36:31Our dinner guests
36:32will be here in an hour.
36:33You must forgive me,
36:34Lady Marjorie.
36:34It was entirely my fault
36:36after the exhibition
36:37which was enchanting.
36:38He persuaded me
36:39to have tea at Gunter's
36:40which was delicious.
36:41It's only that Elizabeth
36:42takes so long
36:43to dress these days.
36:44Oh, mother,
36:44how unfair.
36:45Now, you know you do, darling.
36:46You spend all your time
36:47chattering with Rose.
36:49Hello, Papa.
36:49Good evening, sir.
36:56I have the agreements
36:57regarding the Swiss company.
36:59Your colleague
36:59is coming tonight?
37:00Yes.
37:01I also have
37:02preliminary contracts
37:03for the deal itself.
37:05I think neither he
37:06nor yourself
37:06will be disappointed.
37:08That, of course,
37:09will take some time.
37:10Oh, of course, of course.
37:11But tonight
37:11we set the wheels in motion.
37:13Will you excuse me,
37:16Lady Marjorie?
37:16Yes, of course.
37:24The bath's ready, Baron.
37:27Thank you, Alfred.
37:28It suits you.
37:43Thank you, Baron.
37:48You've been using this?
37:50Yes?
37:55Yes.
37:55Yes.
37:56You stupid, stupid boy.
37:59A little touch.
38:00I don't care for myself.
38:02You can take
38:03what you want.
38:04But what about the family?
38:05What will Elizabeth,
38:06her father, her mother,
38:07say if you serve them
38:08at dinner and you stink?
38:09Stink!
38:10Sorry, I'm sorry.
38:12I'm sorry, I'm...
38:12So you should be.
38:15I'm...
38:16not worthy.
38:18I...
38:18No, you're not worthy.
38:21However, on your feet.
38:24Up, I said.
38:27And now come here.
38:32And be forgiven.
38:33Miss Elizabeth,
38:42you're laying on
38:43that frock I put out for you.
38:44You'll spoil it.
38:45I don't care.
38:47He's leaving
38:47and I want to go with him.
38:49Well, he'll be coming back.
38:50I don't see why he should
38:51since he doesn't love me.
38:52Of course he loves you.
38:54Whatever makes you say
38:54such a thing.
38:55Oh, I don't know.
38:57Remind me a bath.
38:58You haven't got time.
39:00Besides,
39:00the Baron's
39:01taken all the hot water.
39:02the Baron.
39:05Then I shall go
39:06and step into it with him.
39:08Miss Elizabeth!
39:09How can you even imagine?
39:12Oh, don't look so shocked, Rose.
39:13We're living in modern times.
39:24Good evening, Lady Prudence.
39:26Madam.
39:26Good evening, Hudson.
39:28We're not together, Hudson.
39:29We both arrived on the doorstep
39:31at exactly the same moment.
39:32A pure accident.
39:42Delightful vision
39:43of a lady in distress?
39:45Madhouse.
39:45Rose, don't...
39:58Rose, don't...
40:03You get away from me!
40:04It's a homie!
40:09Rose!
40:09How dare you behave like that
40:10in front of the guests!
40:11I'm sorry, Mr. Hudson,
40:13but I...
40:14What's the matter with you?
40:16Do you know why she's crying?
40:17Don't ask me!
40:18It's nothing to do with me!
40:20Right, upstairs, you.
40:20Serve the drinks.
40:22Go on, will you now?
40:23Look sharp!
40:23All right, Rose.
40:24All right, Rose.
40:26Now, you tell me what this is all about.
40:28I can't, Mr. Hudson, but...
40:30I'm all right now.
40:32Promise.
40:37Can't think why I was invited tonight,
40:39and at the last minute.
40:40I'm sorry, Mrs. Darling,
40:42but was it insistent
40:42we should get someone for Adam?
40:44Who could I ask
40:44but an old friend?
40:46Most unfortunate,
40:47as far as I'm concerned.
40:48I thought it was common knowledge
40:50I can't be in the same room
40:51as Sir Adam Blake.
40:52He once grossly insulted me
40:54in Sevastopol.
40:54I think you might have shown
40:56out a little more tact.
40:56But that was ages ago.
40:58Anyway, I always wondered
40:59if it was quite true.
41:00It was true.
41:01And it's high time
41:02you made it out.
41:04Ah, Klaus, there you are.
41:06I think you know
41:07Lady Prudence, don't you?
41:08Oh, yes.
41:09Baron, I don't think
41:10you've met Sir Adam Blake.
41:11Baron, Klaus von Rimmer.
41:13Baron, you're calm
41:15and hasn't tried.
41:16Arthur?
41:18Yes, I think so.
41:20What do you think?
41:22Yes, he wants to type.
41:23That strong,
41:24teutonic bone structure
41:25dashing by the ladies.
41:27Where do we get
41:28the documents to sign?
41:29After dinner.
41:29Over the porch.
41:30Out idea.
41:31The least fuss.
41:32Absolutely.
41:33Oh, my dear Baron,
41:34we shall miss you terribly.
41:35You've added lustre
41:36to an otherwise dim season.
41:38You'll find some excuse
41:40to return in the new year.
41:42Unfortunately,
41:43the Deutsche Reichsbank
41:44have given me
41:44only a limited number
41:45of their methods to study
41:46and I've exhausted them all.
41:48Then you must return
41:49under your own steam
41:50if you'll forgive the vulgarity.
41:52I'm sure Elizabeth
41:53would wish it.
41:54If they won't have you here,
41:55then you must come
41:56and stay with me.
41:57The most eligible widow
41:58in London
41:58and the handsome young Baron
41:59under the same roof.
42:00What would the gossip say?
42:01I invite the Baron
42:02here and now
42:03to return to us in January.
42:04But you have your elections.
42:05We shall parade you on must.
42:07Oh, then they'll have
42:08to give us women the vote.
42:10Now, my dear,
42:12you look younger
42:13and lovelier than ever.
42:14Thank you.
42:15Brudence, dear.
42:16Come and look at this.
42:17I picked it up
42:18in Sotheby's the other day.
42:19Oh, it's enchanting.
42:20It's a great day.
42:23It's the greatest of pleasure.
42:25What did you do
42:26to Brudence in Sevastopol?
42:27Oh, well,
42:28that's a long story.
42:30Mother wants you
42:30to play for us
42:31after dinner, will you?
42:32It pleases you.
42:33Well, it won't please me.
42:34I shall probably cry.
42:35Then Rose must
42:36fetch you a handkerchief.
42:37It's been sehr round.
42:40Oh.
42:40Half of a year.
42:43Mr. Hudson,
42:47could I have a word
42:47with you, please?
42:48I'm sorry, Rose.
42:49Please, Mr. Hudson.
42:50See, I can't hold it in no longer.
42:52Pull yourself together again.
42:53Come on outside.
42:54Good day, don't you see it?
42:55I know.
42:56She can never make it fair.
42:59I mean, it was a bit nice.
43:00What do they find them so funny?
43:06You're absolutely sure about this.
43:08And you've told me everything.
43:10Yes, Mr. Hudson.
43:11But you must understand
43:12that I've never in all my days...
43:14All right, Rose.
43:15I understand your feelings.
43:16You go downstairs
43:17to the dining room.
43:18Oh, I couldn't, Mr. Hudson.
43:19I couldn't serve at table tonight.
43:20Not with Miss Elizabeth there
43:22and me knowing what I know.
43:23I still think...
43:24And that's why you've got
43:25to keep working, Rose.
43:26So she's kept from knowing.
43:27What about Alfred?
43:28If you leave Alfred to me,
43:29he won't be there.
43:31And, Rose,
43:32keep all this to yourself.
43:34Do you understand?
43:35Yes, Mr. Hudson.
43:37Good girl.
43:38Off you go, then.
43:41I hear these new
43:42dreadnought battleship things
43:43are absolutely no use at all,
43:45Sir Adam.
43:45They sink,
43:46if you so much as look at them.
43:47That may well be, dear lady,
43:49if they come under
43:50your hypnotic gaze.
43:53Go downstairs
43:54and wait in my pantry.
43:56Stay there
43:57and talk to no one
43:57until I've seen you.
43:59Off you go now.
43:59Hudson, are you getting ready?
44:01I think we are.
44:01Very nearly, my lady.
44:03Hudson, where's Rose?
44:04She has duties
44:05in the dining room,
44:06Miss Elizabeth.
44:07Oh, bother.
44:08I want to be
44:09to fetch me a handkerchief.
44:10Call me.
44:12Might I have a brief word
44:13with you, sir?
44:14In private.
44:15What now, Hudson?
44:16If you would.
44:16It is possible, of course, sir,
44:25that the girl was mistaken.
44:27No, Rose would never speak
44:28on such a matter
44:29unless she was certain.
44:30That was my opinion, too, sir.
44:32I take it the gentleman
44:33will not be staying for dinner.
44:35On the contrary, Hudson,
44:35it's a matter of vital
44:36government importance
44:37that the Baron remain
44:38in this house
44:39for the next two hours,
44:39at least.
44:41I have a detective inspector
44:42arriving in Scotland Yard
44:43at ten o'clock.
44:44He'll ring at the back door.
44:46See that he's attended to
44:47until I specifically call for him.
44:49I understand, sir.
44:50And Hudson,
44:51I rely on your absolute discretion
44:53and ask you to deal with Alfred.
44:55I will, sir.
44:56In the meantime,
44:57will you ring the gong for dinner?
44:58Certainly, sir.
45:00What did Hudson want?
45:01Oh, nothing.
45:02Just some domestic problem.
45:03Why didn't he come to me?
45:05I really couldn't say.
45:05Then I shall ask him.
45:06No, Marjorie, you won't.
45:08Not on this occasion.
45:08I insist.
45:09Then I said no, Marjorie.
45:11Be ruled by me
45:11just once in a while.
45:13I'll explain it all later.
45:15Is it your intention
45:16that we should continue
45:18our vendetta
45:18to our grave, Sir Adam?
45:20What vendetta, dear lady?
45:21I was not aware of that.
45:22No, perfectly well
45:23to what I'm referring.
45:25An incident in Sevastopol
45:26some years ago
45:27when you wounded me deeply.
45:30Wary deep-sea fishing.
45:31What?
45:32The only woman
45:33I ever remember wounding deeply
45:34was a lady I once
45:35went deep-sea fishing with.
45:36I got her by accident
45:37with a harpoon.
45:38If I was a gentleman
45:39I would have demanded
45:40satisfaction.
45:41And as a gentleman,
45:42madam,
45:42I should have been
45:43forced to give it to you.
45:44Oh, you're as incorrigible
45:46as ever.
45:48That goes without saying.
45:50Incorrigibles ripen with age
45:52like most other fruits.
45:54Excuse me.
45:55How's that?
45:55I have to make an urgent
45:59telephone call.
46:01Will you please
46:01excuse me?
46:02Of course.
46:04Did I tell you
46:05dear Agatha's been
46:06invited to Beaver
46:07for the weekend?
46:08Oh, good.
46:08That's nice.
46:09Yes.
46:09How boring for them.
46:11Shall we have dinner?
46:13It's no good, Mr Hudson.
46:14I can't go through with it.
46:15Here they come.
46:16How delightful
46:20always to enter
46:20the Bellamy dining room.
46:22Such a feeling
46:23of happy anticipation.
46:24And happy returns.
46:27Thank you,
46:27Hudson.
46:30Where's that lugubrious
46:31footman of yours,
46:32Marjorie?
46:32The one who always
46:33makes me laugh.
46:34Yes, Hudson,
46:34where is Alfred?
46:35He's indisposed,
46:36my lady.
46:38Will you be waiting
46:38for the Baron
46:39before commencing,
46:40sir?
46:40Certainly, Hudson,
46:41of course.
46:43So,
46:44we are to have
46:44a German Baron
46:45for dinner.
46:47I hope he tastes
46:47as good as he looks.
46:48Well, I'm sure
46:49he'll be more to my taste
46:50than some of your
46:51dreadful jokes,
46:52Adam.
46:52Well, so that we
46:53don't all starve to death,
46:54I'll go and look for him,
46:55shall I?
46:55Will you excuse me?
46:56Sweet child,
46:57one can't help observing
46:58how very much in love
47:00she seems to be.
47:08One can't help
47:38his clothes aren't
47:41in the cupboard.
47:42What?
47:43He's gone.
47:45It's so awful
47:46that I should have
47:47invited him to stay,
47:48a pervert,
47:50in our house.
47:51You weren't to know.
47:52Then to corrupt
47:53our footman
47:53and take him away.
47:55Well, perhaps
47:56they deserved
47:57each other.
47:58Poor little Elizabeth.
48:00She was so in love
48:01with him.
48:02What on earth
48:02shall I tell her?
48:04I mean,
48:04she's too young
48:05to be exposed
48:05to such things.
48:06It would destroy
48:07so much for her.
48:09I'll go up
48:10to Elizabeth
48:10in a moment.
48:12Alone.
48:14Richard,
48:14she must never know.
48:16I want you
48:16to leave this to me
48:17and trust me.
48:23He was a spy, Rose.
48:25Do you know
48:26about spies?
48:27Yes, Miss Elizabeth.
48:29An agent
48:29who sells deadly weapons.
48:32Using me,
48:32I suppose,
48:33to get to Papa
48:33and compromise him.
48:35Do you think
48:36that's bad?
48:37Yes, Miss Lizzie.
48:38But Father
48:39was too clever for him.
48:41He brought in
48:41Sir Adam,
48:42who's a celebrated
48:42spycatcher from the Navy.
48:44He'd never think it.
48:46They were going
48:47to arrest him.
48:48He must have realised
48:49so he left.
48:51Without a goodbye.
48:54To get home
48:55in time for Christmas.
48:57Better than a
48:58Brixton cell,
48:59anyway.
49:00I'll finish now,
49:02Miss Lizzie.
49:03Yes, all right.
49:05Now, Rose.
49:08Good night,
49:08Miss Elizabeth.
49:09Good night.
49:30Good night.
50:00Good night.
