00:00Our hostess tells me that you were at the famous ball in Brussels.
00:03How strange that we should be discussing a ball when we're on the brink of war.
00:07Nothing can happen to us. We're the luckiest couple alive.
00:09We're the most in love.
00:11Did you know my son well?
00:12He is the eldest son of an earl, my child.
00:14He cannot choose his wife to suit his heart.
00:16It must end before there is damaging talk.
00:19There is another casualty that you won't have to imagine a link with.
00:22Fair count, better, sis.
00:25Do you have other children?
00:26No.
00:27When we go, there will be nothing left of us.
00:30I'm going to have a child.
00:32Of course you can't tell her. What are you talking about?
00:34Do we have a right to hide from her that she has a grandson?
00:39Look after him, won't you?
00:42Promise me, my mum.
01:00You're not going to have a child.
01:01Don't you have a child.
01:02Once you need, Angie's mum.
01:10You are not going to have to hide from the
01:24Mrs. Cassin.
01:54The undertakers are here.
01:57The nurse has made Mrs. Blake tidy now, if you'd like to see her before they take her away.
02:07I understand you have made provision for the child.
02:11My husband has arranged a future for the boy.
02:15Sophia's death will not alter the plan.
02:20Are you quite sure?
02:23Will you not see him?
02:25I mean to play no part in his life.
02:29It may sound hard, but it will be better so.
02:34I have played a sad part in your history, Mrs. Cassin,
02:38and we will not meet again when you have gone south.
02:42But that emboldens me.
02:59This is all you have left of your daughter now.
03:03Is there not some tale you could devise that would allow you to raise him as your own?
03:08The matter is settled.
03:09Mr. Trent...
03:11Mr. Cassin has found a place where he'll be brought up, without stigma and with every advantage.
03:18Sophia knew and approved the plan, so the die is cast.
03:23I cannot alter him.
03:27What does he say?
03:28Oh, look.
03:29Have you not slept?
03:30Not much.
03:31have you not slept not much I've been back in Bakewell all those years ago
03:59a sad time
04:03it was sad
04:07why did we not keep him
04:11Dr. Smiley who attended her wanted us to and he was right we could have thought of a thousand explanations
04:18no one need have known the truth
04:21why say that now it's done
04:24Mr. and Mrs. Pope gave him a good home and a fine education
04:27you did that
04:28but they brought him up without a shadow of suspicion
04:30and he saved them from being childish
04:33it was best all round
04:36doesn't it trouble you that we don't know him
04:38we don't know our own grandson
04:41any more than Lady Brockenhurst knows hers
04:44please leave things as they are I beg you
04:49he's a man now making his own way
04:52even if we had brought him up
04:54our rule would be done
04:56dear Lady Brockenhurst
05:12I should like to call on you
05:18at a time that is convenient
05:25I would be grateful
05:30if you could find a moment when we might be alone
05:40yours sincerely
05:45Anne Trenchard
05:48Mrs. Trenchard
06:03come in Mrs. Trenchard
06:06sit by me here
06:08I hope you don't mind a fire in summer
06:11I'm afraid I'm always cold
06:13that was painted by Beachy
06:18on my marriage in 1792
06:20I was 17
06:22they said it was a good likeness
06:24but of course no one could say that now
06:27it is good of you to let me come
06:33your letter caught me just in time
06:36we leave first thing in the morning
06:38for Limington in Hampshire
06:39is that where you live in the country?
06:42it's where my husband's family has lived for several centuries
06:45Lady Brockenhurst
06:49it seems I am in possession of a secret
06:55which I have sworn to my husband
06:57never to reveal
06:58and indeed he would be very angry
07:00if he knew
07:00I was here today
07:02yes
07:04at the Duchess's tea
07:08you said that when you and your husband go
07:10there'll be nothing left of you
07:12I did
07:14well that's not quite true
07:17before she died
07:20my daughter Sophia was delivered of a child
07:23a boy
07:25the son of Lord Bellis's
07:28the Duchess of Bedford would be very flattered
07:38to see her invention
07:39celebrated elsewhere
07:40I liked it more than I knew
07:42and now I stage an imitation of it every day
07:45thank you
07:48we can fend for ourselves
07:49so
07:55where is he now
07:57this boy
07:58I only know the boy
07:59is a man
08:00he was 25 last birthday
08:03and
08:04what is he like?
08:07I'm afraid I cannot tell you
08:09Mr. Trenchard
08:14placed the baby
08:15in the care of a clergyman
08:17and now he goes under the name
08:19of Charles Pope
08:20we have never made our
08:22connection public
08:23he himself knows nothing
08:25what does he do?
08:28we had meant him for the cloth
08:29like his
08:30adopted father
08:31but I believe he proved to be more
08:34businesslike
08:35I know no more than that
08:38like your husband?
08:39well
08:41you cannot be surprised
08:42blood will out
08:44I hope you will not think
08:48too badly
08:49of Sophia
08:50you must protect her memory
08:52poor child
08:53we will try not to blame her
08:56she is to be pitied
08:57in that atmosphere
08:59in Brussels
09:00before the battle
09:01anyone could lose their reason
09:03for a moment
09:04I do not blame her
09:06and she didn't lose her reason
09:09she believed she was married
09:11to Lord Bellicis
09:12he tricked her into thinking
09:14that her marriage
09:15had taken place
09:16I beg your pardon
09:17he tricked her
09:18he bamboozled her
09:20he persuaded a fellow officer
09:22to pretend to be a clergyman
09:24and Sophia did not find out
09:25the truth till it was too late
09:26I don't believe you
09:28that is your privilege
09:30but it's the truth
09:32I see how it is
09:33your daughter was scheming
09:35to catch my wretched son
09:36no doubt encouraged
09:37by her parents
09:38you mean Lord Bellicis
09:39was incapable
09:41of such behaviour
09:42I most certainly do
09:43he could never even
09:45have conceived
09:45of the very idea
09:46wasn't his godfather
09:48Lord Barclay
09:48how did you know that
09:51Lord Bellicis spoke of him
09:53one evening
09:53when he joined us
09:55for dinner
09:55he said that
09:56when Lord Barclay
09:57seduced the mother
09:58of his children
09:59he got a friend
10:00to pose
10:00as a clergyman
10:02so he might lure
10:03the unsuspecting girl
10:04into bed
10:05I beg you
10:06not to tell me
10:07that Lord Bellicis
10:09could never have conceived
10:10of any such idea
10:11my son was seduced
10:18by an ambitious girl
10:19who wanted to use
10:21the chaos of war
10:21to bring about
10:22a marriage
10:23beyond even
10:24her father's dreams
10:25well she failed
10:26my son took her
10:27as his mistress
10:27but what of that
10:28he was a man
10:29and she was a slut
10:30it happens
10:32ah Jenkins
10:35please take
10:36Mrs Trenchard
10:37down
10:37she's leaving
10:38it's funny
10:47I thought you'd come
10:47with some sentimental tale
10:49to tell me of my son
10:50some happy story
10:51of his last days
10:52on earth
10:52you spoke so well
10:54of him
10:54when we first met
10:55I spoke of him
10:57as I knew him
10:58before that night
10:59but I should have
11:01been honest
11:01if it's any consolation
11:03no one was more
11:04surprised than I
11:04to learn what
11:06he was capable of
11:07I must ask
11:15will you keep
11:17our secret
11:18can I have your word
11:20of course
11:22why would I publicize
11:24my late son's
11:25degradation
11:26I wish you today
11:54she's not come down
11:56she's still in her room
11:57the master must have
11:58his luncheon by himself
12:00I'm sorry
12:00when she came home
12:01from Belgrave Square
12:02she was shaking like a jelly
12:03and I swear she's had
12:04a headache from that moment
12:05have you tried valerian
12:07tried it
12:07I've given her that much
12:09I'm surprised she hasn't
12:09had a fit
12:10and she's not sleeping
12:12has she said what's wrong
12:13not a word
12:14it's like she was in a daze
12:16just hugging that dog
12:17and rocking in her chair
12:18I expect you've seen her
12:19through some hard times
12:20eh Miss Ellis

12:22much good has it done me

12:39yeah would you want
12:41that Miss Ellis
12:41not sure what I want

13:08Peel's going to win this election
13:09seems that Melbourne's on the way out

15:09if I can't lay my hands
15:09on some funding

15:41Peregrine

15:47especially not now
15:49well what's happening now
15:51that's the reason
15:53for our coming

15:55for coming

16:00an understanding
16:01with Lady Mariah Gray

16:29and she's marrying
16:30the future Earl
16:31of Brockenhurst
16:32after all
16:32so what do you think
16:36of the work
16:37of the ecclesiastical commission
16:39what do you mean
16:41are its
16:42reforms working
16:43implicating the dissidents
16:45or containing the Oxford movement
16:47what do I care about any of it
16:48just as long as I don't have to
16:49give any more damned sermons
16:51if you're not interested
16:52in the doctrine
16:53why did you join the church
16:55why do you think
16:56because I'm the youngest son
16:58of an Earl
16:59Emma is to have another child
17:03you'll be a grandmother
17:04five times over
17:05think of that
17:07they're hoping for another boy
17:11well I shall write to her
17:14Hugo's very keen
17:15on the second boy
17:16he loves the girls
17:18of course
17:18but he doesn't want
17:19to take any chances
17:20I want an air
17:21and a spare
17:22he keeps saying
17:23an air and a spare
17:25I wonder
17:31dear brother
17:32if I might
17:33have a little word
17:34in private
17:35later
17:36aren't we in private now
17:37we all know you want
17:39to talk about money
17:40all right
17:49let's have it
17:50we mustn't bore the ladies
17:52you don't mind boring me
17:54if we could
17:55if we could just
17:57come on
17:57come on out with it
17:58what my father is asking for
17:59is a loan against
18:00my future inheritance
18:01your inheritance
18:02or his
18:03our inheritance
18:05you're saying
18:06he wants another loan
18:08against your inheritance
18:09very well then
18:10another loan
18:12I think my little brother
18:13has chipped away
18:14at his prospects
18:15quite substantially already
18:16you will agree
18:17that the family's honour
18:18demands
18:19we keep up appearances
18:20no no no no
18:21I don't agree at all
18:22any kind of show
18:24in a man of the cloth
18:25is neither expected
18:26nor liked
18:27by the public
18:28what are you spending it on
18:31nothing you disapprove of
18:33you've released funds
18:35in the past
18:35oh yes
18:36many times
18:37too many
18:37I think you should
18:39stay down here
18:40attend to your church duties
18:42and not go up to London
18:43so much
18:43tell me about
18:48Mariah Gray
18:49I thought she'd only
18:50just been presented
18:51no no
18:53she's quite out
18:54by now
18:55she's 21
18:55her time flies
18:57I'm surprised
18:59Lady Templemore
19:00said nothing to me
19:01perhaps she was
19:03waiting
19:03till things
19:05were quite settled
19:05and are they
19:07settled now
19:07they will be
19:09soon
19:10and after that
19:12we'll announce it
19:12properly
19:13you must feel
19:14very proud John
19:15of what
19:17of convincing
19:19such a lovely girl
19:20to be your wife
19:21yes
19:23yes I suppose
19:25I am
19:26you've been very quiet
19:31what's the matter
19:32why does my brother
19:36who has never said
19:38or done anything
19:39of the slightest value
19:41live to see his children
19:43make fine marriages
19:44and his grandchildren
19:46around his chair
19:47oh my dear
19:49a house in Harley Street
19:51a large rectory here in the village
19:53and all he does
19:54is complain
19:54and gamble
19:55and yet he is allowed
19:56to have a family
19:57and I am not
19:59no I'm sorry
20:05but I'm just a silly old man
20:08but sometimes
20:08I can't help
20:09but rail
20:10at the injustice
20:11of it
20:12you think I don't
20:14do you ever wonder
20:20what he'd be like now
20:21married
20:23of course
20:24clever sons
20:26and pretty daughters
20:27perhaps clever daughters
20:28and pretty sons
20:29point is
20:34he's not here
20:35our boy
20:38is gone
20:39I don't understand
20:42why it happened
20:44to us
20:45peace offering
20:50I can't pretend
20:55James
20:55it's brought it all back
20:58my anger
20:59along with the rest
21:01you persuaded her
21:03into a false marriage
21:04and in the process
21:06ruined her
21:07I didn't persuade her
21:08she persuaded me
21:09what is it
21:14ticket for the
21:15horticultural society's
21:17new botanical gardens
21:18how did you get it
21:22the cubits
21:23are among their supporters
21:24am I forgiven then
21:33I could take Susan
21:37Susan dislikes flowers
21:42you can't see beauty
21:44in anything
21:44she hasn't seen
21:45in Mr. Asprey's window
21:46poor Oliver
21:49after the other night
21:53I was wondering
21:53how to help him
21:54what have you come up with
21:55cubits had an interesting
21:57idea to do something
21:58with the Isle of Dogs
21:59the Isle of Dogs
22:02really
22:03the new dogs
22:04they've made a big difference
22:05he wants to build
22:06a solid community there
22:07it's exciting
22:08perhaps I can bring
22:10Oliver into it
22:11you're welcome to try
22:13it doesn't sound like
22:14your sort of thing
22:14at all
22:15perhaps he should be
22:17a little less choosy
22:17about what interests him
22:19well
22:20I suppose it won't hurt
22:25all alone
22:37Mrs. Babbage
22:38so I am
22:39Mrs. France
22:41gone shopping
22:41for some bits and bobs

24:55conservatory are you interested in queue the duke was good enough to ask for my help when the
25:03horticultural society first took on the management of the gardener mrs trenchard that man we were
25:11talking about the other day charles pope the very one mr charles pope what about him i forgot where
25:20he lives is mr pope i'm not sure of the address what about his parents i remember the father was a
25:30clergyman reverend benjamin pope and the county sorry there we are that didn't hurt too much did it
25:42so
25:52Anything might have been out, Brodsworth?
26:13Yes, Mr. Pope, you've got a visitor.
26:15I wasn't expecting anyone, was I?
26:17Well, you weren't expecting her.
26:18It's the Countess of Brockenhurst.
26:19What?
26:24Betty Brockenhurst, I'm terribly sorry to have kept you waiting.
26:30Since I made no appointment, there's no need to apologise.
26:35Are you all right?
26:37You look as if you've seen a ghost.
26:41You remind me of someone I used to know, that's all.
26:44Someone nice, I hope.
26:47Very nice.
26:50Now, what can I offer you?
26:52I have tea, I have coffee.
26:55No, no, thank you, nothing.
26:56I dare say you're surprised to see me, but I've been curious to meet you.
27:11Have you?
27:13Why?
27:14How on earth did I come to your notice?
27:16I've heard you talked of.
27:18People say you have a future.
27:20Lord Brockenhurst and I like to help young men who are on their way.
27:24I see.
27:25So, tell me about yourself, Mr Pope.
27:29Who are you?
27:30Where are you from?
27:31Where am I from?
27:33It is not a very interesting story.
27:35I am from Surrey.
27:37The son of a vicar.
27:38There's nothing wrong with that?
27:40Well, actually, my real father was dead when I was born.
27:43So his cousin, the Reverend Benjamin Pope, brought me up.
27:46I think of him as my father, but sadly, he is also gone now.
27:50I'm sorry.
27:53What else have you heard about me?
27:56I know that you bought a mill in Manchester and that you're looking for a regular supplier of cotton.
28:01This is astonishing.
28:02And I understand you've decided on India for your suppliers.
28:05Much more, and I'll ask you to sit on the board.
28:08I won't keep you too long, but I would like you to send me whatever you think would be useful,
28:14and then I'll come back to you with my decision.
28:17What decision?
28:19As to whether or not we should invest in your company.
28:22Mr. Pope, I'm giving an at-home on Tuesday.
28:33I generally receive on the second Tuesday of every month during the season.
28:37I wonder if you might like to come.
28:40Me?
28:41It starts at ten.
28:43I wouldn't dine too heartily beforehand, as there will be a supper at midnight.
28:47I don't quite understand.
28:48Mr. Pope, I'm asking you to a party.
28:50Is that so very puzzling?
28:52Mr. Pope, I should be delighted, milady.
29:15Where do you know where to find me?
29:17Your role is here.
29:20Who's paying for this feed?
29:21You or me?
29:22You.
29:23Want some of this?
29:25No, I'll wait until they bring my luncheon.
29:27All right, suit yourself.
29:29Your mother wants to invite Lady Mariah and her mother for dinner, and she needs you to
29:33suggest a date.
29:36Shall we just wait till everything's agreed?
29:39What's the matter, John?
29:42Why aren't you happier?
29:43Mariah seems a nice girl to me and very pretty.
29:46When a woman is to be served up on a platter to do with as one likes.
29:51Well, it rather takes a sport out of it.
29:53At least it does to me.
29:56Anyway, Uncle Peregrin is, please, which is all that really matters.
30:00Well, you grew to like her.
30:02I am sure.
30:03Really?
30:04As much as you like Mama?
30:05This came while you were out, ma'am.
30:14A footman brought it from Brock and Hurst House.
30:16Is it an invitation?
30:22What are you doing there?
30:24Are you invited to dinner?
30:26No, to a reception after dinner.
30:28Although I dare say there'll be something to eat later on.
30:30But I'm not sure we'll go.
30:31Not go?
30:33We barely know her.
30:35And it's hard to get up much enthusiasm for something that begins so late in the evening.
30:40Oh, but surely you...
30:40What is it you're trying to ask?
30:42I just hoped that Oliver and I might be included in the invitation.
30:49But you're not.
30:52Please don't make me beg, Mother.
30:55Would it be so terribly difficult for you to write and ask?
31:02I suppose they're moving up in the world, if the Countess of Brock and Hurst deigns to know them.
31:07That's what a master will sing, anyway.
31:12Why does Lady Brockenhurst want to bother with them?
31:14What have the trenches got to give the Brockenhursts?
31:17Why?
31:17Do you only make friends where there's something to gain?
31:20It's the times we live in.
31:22New folk coming up and overtaking the old.
31:25Brockenhurst House again?
31:26That's the invitation for Mr and Mrs Oliver.
31:29You'll see.
31:34I think I have everything I need.
31:36They brought this round just now.
31:38From Brockenhurst House.
31:39I see.
31:44You may go.
31:45Good night, Ellis, and thank you.
31:46Well, Susan, we'll be pleased.
32:08We shouldn't go.
32:10Of course we should go.
32:10Why do you think we've been asked?
32:14Did she take a shine to you when you met?
32:17Whether she did or not, it seems awkward and wrong to accept knowing what we know.
32:22Well, I don't agree.
32:24And besides, Lady Brockenhurst doesn't know what we know.
32:26Quirk, we're back here by one o'clock.
32:55We won't leave before then.
32:56Very good, sir.
33:07I wonder how many people dined here before the crowd arrived.
33:10Mr and Mrs James Trenchard.
33:23Mr and Mrs Oliver Trenchard.
33:26How good of you to come.
33:28What beautiful flowers.
33:29What a heavenly scent.
33:31Yes, they were brought up from Limington this morning.
33:33I don't believe I've met your husband.
33:36Lady Brockenhurst, may I present Mr Trenchard?
33:40Lady Brockenhurst, it is very gracious of you to invite us to your charming home.
33:46Not at all.
33:47I doubt the house holds many secrets for you, Mr Trenchard, since you built it.
33:53May I present my son, Mr Oliver Trenchard and his wife?
33:56Countess.
33:58What a beautiful drawing room.
34:01So, Mr Trenchard, tell me, do you share the same interests as your father?
34:05Oliver works for me, or should I say, works with me.
34:08At the moment, we're engaged on a new project, developing the Isle of Dogs.
34:13The Isle of Dogs?
34:14It's in East London.
34:16East London?
34:17We're creating a new embankment with business properties and workers' cottages,
34:22and indeed, houses for management, and so on.
34:25And we're expanding the docks.
34:26James.
34:27It's true.
34:28The ships have run out of room.
34:29They need new places to load and unload with all the trade that's coming in from all over the world.
34:34The further the empire expands...
34:35How exciting you make it sound.
34:37Would you excuse me?
34:40Mr and Mrs John Grant.
34:45What sort of person has their fires lit in high summer?
34:50It's stifling in here.
34:52Oliver, let's go through.
34:57I'd rather we stay here to watch the arrivals.
35:00There may be someone we know who can lend us face.
35:04Mr Trenchard.
35:05I'm Stephen Bellisus.
35:08The Reverend Mr Bellisus is the brother of our host.
35:11Just so.
35:13I gather you're Cubits, man.
35:14Responsible for turning the streets of London into a white colonnade overnight.
35:19What we do seems to be popular, Reverend.
35:22Riot is popular, sir.
35:23Revolution is popular.
35:25What sort of test is that?
35:26We understand from Lady Brockenhurst that you knew our poor nephew, Lord Bellisus.
35:32Yes, we knew him well, but I'm afraid it was a long time ago.
35:37Now, there's only my son, John, between this family and extinction.
35:41That's him over there, talking to the pretty woman in pink.
35:45That pretty woman is my daughter-in-law.
35:47Looks to be entertaining her rather well.
35:50John is about to announce his engagement.
35:52The Countess of Templemore and Lady Mariah Gray.
35:56Well, here they are.
36:04We've been looking for you.
36:06Good evening to both of you.
36:08Say good evening to John, dear.
36:10Good evening.
36:11Did you have a pleasant journey?
36:13We should have walked.
36:14It took twice as long in a carriage.
36:15Mr. Charles Pope.
36:43I would suggest this.
36:44Mrs. Trenchard, may I present a new acquaintance, Mr. Charles Pope?
36:50Mr. Trenchard, what are you doing here?
36:53Well, this is amusing.
36:57There was I thinking Mr. Pope was my secret,
36:59only to find that you're well acquainted.
37:02How funny.
37:03How long have you known each other?
37:05Not a while.
37:08Not long, a while.
37:09Yes, dear, do tell me.
37:11How long have you known Mr. Pope?
37:13Well, I knew his father, and when Charles came to London,
37:18I felt it my duty to lend a hand if I could.
37:23And did you?
37:24Did I what?
37:26Lend a hand.
37:28Very much so.
37:29I'd gained a place in a bank,
37:31but when I got to London,
37:32it didn't take me long to realize I was playing the wrong game.
37:34Mr. Trenchard rescued me.
37:36He helped get my own business up and running.
37:37I couldn't have managed without him.
37:40It is the same venture you're interested in, Lady Brockenhurst.
37:43In what way are you interested?
37:47Isn't London a tiny place?
37:50Forgive me, but I don't understand.
37:54Are you and Mr. Trenchard...
37:56In business together, we are.
37:59In a way, I'm glad to say.
38:01How long has this been going on?
38:04Uh, Mr. Pope's father asked for my help.
38:07He has since died,
38:09and so naturally,
38:10I take his request very seriously,
38:12and I'm glad to do so.
38:14There is Lord Brockenhurst.
38:15I want you to meet Mr. Pope.
38:18Ah, Mr. Pope.
38:19Oh, it's me.
38:20Yeah.
38:21Come.
38:21Anne, I...
38:25I can't talk to you.
38:29You knew he was coming here, didn't you?
38:31Why didn't you tell me?
38:32You have disobeyed my orders
38:34and told our hostess everything.
38:36Pure voice, Dan.
38:37I thought we had an agreement.
38:40You are in no position to lecture me.
38:42You have built and enjoyed a friendship with our grandson
38:45that you have denied me most cruelly.
38:47I invested in his business.
38:52I gave him advice.
38:55Do you not think that Sophia would have wanted that?
38:58LAUGHTER
38:59Really, Mr. Bellisens.
39:12You made me offend Nice Baron,
39:15whatever his name was.
39:16Hmm.
39:17Honestly.
39:18And I was on my best behaviour, too.
39:20Yes, I bet your behaviour's always pretty good.
39:23Worst luck.
39:24Oh, quickly.
39:34My frightful old boy was headed straight towards us.
39:37Took me half an hour to shake him off the last time.
39:39That old boy was my father-in-law.
39:42Ha, ha, ha.
39:43Or you.
39:44I know your type.
39:48You're just the sort of man
39:49to make me say all manner of things
39:51I don't want to say in the least.
39:53Yes, and I hope I can make you do
39:54all manner of things you don't want to do in the least.
39:56Oh, er, sorry.
40:10Do I disturb you?
40:12Not at all.
40:13I'm afraid it's I who am disturbing you.
40:15If you'd rather be alone.
40:16No.
40:17I suspect your mother would prefer you to be alone.
40:20Or at least not with a strange man
40:21to whom you haven't been introduced.
40:22My mother is deep in conversation
40:24with an aged great-aunt.
40:26We will not release her without a fight.
40:28Then perhaps we'd better introduce ourselves.
40:34Charles Pope.
40:36Mariah Gray.
40:39So, why are you hiding out here?
40:43Is it that obvious?
40:44I felt so sorry for you
40:46when you were being paraded around by our hostess.
40:49Well, how do you know them?
40:50Are you related?
40:51Heavens, no.
40:53This isn't my natural habitat at all.
40:55I'm a very ordinary sort of fellow.
40:57Well, Lady Brockenhurst doesn't seem to think so.
41:00I've never seen her so animated.
41:02She's not a woman known for her enthusiasms.
41:04You're right that she's taken an interest in my work,
41:06although I couldn't tell you why.
41:08Lady Brockenhurst has taken an interest
41:10in a business venture.
41:11You sound surprised.
41:12I should be less surprised
41:14if she wanted to walk on the moon.
41:17I don't understand it either.
41:19She seems enthused by the whole idea.
41:21What is the idea?
41:23I bought a mill in Manchester.
41:25Now I need a better supply of raw cotton from India,
41:27and for that I must have funding.
41:29But I'm determined that anyone who invests in me
41:31will not regret it.
41:31Of course you are.
41:34I don't know why I said all that.
41:36I seem to have told you everything there is to know about me.
41:38Not quite.
41:40I thought Indian cotton production was in disarray.
41:43Surely the shipping is too expensive to be worth it.
41:46How in heaven do you know that?
41:49India interests me.
41:51I have an uncle who served as governor of Bombay.
41:54I have never been,
41:55but I believe it is a country with a great future.
41:57Ruled by the British.
41:58For now, but not forever.
42:01Do you know which part of India you'll be dealing with?
42:04Well, I have an agent in Aguila in the north.
42:07Then you must visit the Taj Mahal.
42:08It's said to be the most beautiful monument to love ever built.
42:12The marble changes colour,
42:14from a blush pink in the morning
42:15to a milky white in the evening,
42:17to a gold when lit by the moon.
42:20The legend is the shade reflects the mood of any woman who sees it.
42:24What about the men who see it?
42:26What does it tell us about them?
42:29That when they lose the right woman,
42:31they find her much harder to replace than they expected.
42:34Mariah?
42:35Mama?
42:36They're calling us to supper,
42:38and we must find John.
42:40We've hardly spoken to him all evening.
42:42We've hardly spoken to him all evening.
43:12Mr. Pope?
43:18Come and sit with me.
43:25I don't know what is my sister-in-law up to.
43:28Why is she making such a fuss at that dreary little man?
43:31Do you think him dreary?
43:33I don't.
43:34There are at least three dukes in the room,
43:36but when they look across at the seat on the right hand of our hostess,
43:39they see it occupied by...
43:41By whom, exactly?
43:43Who is he?
43:44His name is Charles Pope.
43:46He was talking to your husband earlier, Mrs. Trenchard.
43:49Does this Mr. Pope work for him?
43:52No.
43:53He doesn't work for him.
43:54He works for himself.
43:56They know each other.
43:58They may have some project in common,
44:00but that's all.
44:01So you can't explain Lady Bruckenhurst's fascination?
44:07I'm afraid not.
44:13My father seems to be annoyed.
44:16Why?
44:17My aunt has chosen to honour that curious young man.
44:20She's been making such a fuss of all evening.
44:21Yes, she has, hasn't she?
44:25Hmm.
44:26Who is he?
44:29His name is Charles Pope.
44:31He deals in cotton.
44:33Oh.
44:34Come, my dear.
44:36John is not interested in cotton elections.
44:39Are you?
44:40I'm interested to know why my aunt is so taken with him.
44:44How do you all know this?
44:45I was talking to him earlier.
44:48We were discussing India.
44:50Oh, poor you.
44:52But I should love to see India.
44:54Really?
44:56You don't like to travel?
44:59Hmm.
45:00Paris, Babs, or Rome.
45:02I could even see myself in Madrid,
45:03as long as it's not too hot.
45:06I doubt I should survive a trip to India.
45:15What are you doing?
45:23I'm getting to know the grandson
45:24who's been concealed from me
45:25for a quarter of a century.
45:28But why so publicly?
45:30Can't you see that half the room's asking
45:31who this strange young man could be?
45:34Of course, that must worry you.
45:36Sophia's memory, your reputation.
45:39You want them to guess.
45:42You want them to guess, he's Edmund's child,
45:44and you wanted us to witness it.
45:46Then you will not have broken your word.
45:48But the secret will be out.
45:50I think the Derbys are just leaving.
45:52Would you forgive me if I go down and say goodbye?
46:06And you can watch more ITV drama
46:08with all six series
46:10and every special of Downton Abbey
46:12streaming now on BritBox.
46:14And there's new drama here for you tomorrow night
46:16as the case takes a shocking turn.
46:19All new Liar continues at nine.
46:22mom and I love it.
46:27I hope so.
46:30I hope so.
46:32We'll see you through later.
46:33Bye.
46:34Bye.
46:34Bye.
46:35Bye.
46:35Bye.
46:35Bye.
