Short filmTranscript
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.
00:22Fire Count Bellasus.
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.
01:00Do you have a victim?
01:13Do you have any more money?
01:13We'll find out.
01:14I'll take my wife.
01:15Do you have the account?
01:16Do you WahrAll Obs Abris?
01:16Hear me.
01:17Search me, Vincent.
01:17Do you have one encounter?
01:18Do you hear ediyor?
01:18I'll take your wife.
01:18Do you have a talk?
01:19Do you have ami?
01:19Do you hear a woman?
01:20Do you my mother?
01:20Do you have a sister?
01:21Do you seizure me?
01:21Do you hear me?
01:22Do you hear a woman?
01:22Do you either?
01:23Do you hear a Race?
01:23Do you share a woman with represent your wife?
01:24Do you have a finger?
01:25THE END
01:55The nurse has made Mrs. Blake tidy now, if you'd like to see her before they take her away.
02:06I 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, sir.
02:34I have played a sad part in your history, Mrs. Casson.
02:38And we will not meet again when you have gone south.
02:43But that emboldens me.
02:44This 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. Trenton...
03:11Mr. Casson has found a place where he'll be brought up, without stigma and with every advantage.
03:19Sophia knew and approved the plan, so...
03:21The die is cast.
03:25I cannot alter it.
03:26Have you not slept?
03:38Have you not slept?
03:53Not much.
03:56I've been back in Bakewell all those years ago.
03:59A sad time.
04:06It was sad.
04:07Why did we not keep him?
04:13Dr. Smiley, who attended her, wanted us to, and he was right.
04:16We could have thought of a thousand explanations.
04:18No one need have known the truth.
04:22Why say that now?
04:23It's done.
04:24Mr. and Mrs. Pope gave him a good home and a fine education.
04:27You did that.
04:29But they brought him up without a shadow of suspicion.
04:32And he saved them from being childless.
04:35It was best all round.
04:36Doesn't it trouble you that we don't know him?
04:39We don't know our own grandson.
04:42Any more than Lady Brockenhurst knows hers.
04:44Please leave things as they are, I beg you.
04:50He's a man now making his own way.
04:52Even if we had brought him up, our rule would be done.
05:10Dear Lady Brockenhurst,
05:12I should like to call on you
05:18at a time that is convenient.
05:26I would be grateful
05:30if you could find a moment
05:35when we might be alone.
05:40Yours sincerely,
05:47Anne Trenchard.
06:01Mrs. Trenchard.
06:03Ah.
06:04Come in, Mrs. Trenchard.
06:06Sit by me here.
06:08I hope you don't mind a fire in summer.
06:12I'm afraid I'm always cold.
06:16That was painted by Beachy
06:18on my marriage in 1792.
06:21I was 17.
06:23They said it was a good likeness,
06:25but, of course, no-one could say that now.
06:27It is good for you to let me come.
06:34Your letter caught me just in time.
06:36We leave first thing in the morning for 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.
06:53It seems I am in possession of a secret
06:55which I have sworn to my husband never to reveal,
06:58and indeed he would be very angry if he knew I was here today.
07:04Yes?
07:07At the Duchess's tea,
07:09you said that when you and your husband go,
07:11there'll be nothing left of you.
07:12I did?
07:15Well, that's not quite true.
07:19Before she died,
07:21my daughter Sophia was delivered of a child.
07:25A boy.
07:26The son of Lord Bellis's.
07:35The Duchess of Bedford would be very flattered
07:38to see her invention celebrated elsewhere.
07:40I liked it more than I knew.
07:43And now I stage an imitation of it every day.
07:48We can fend for ourselves.
07:55So,
07:56where is he now, this boy?
07:58I only know the boy
07:59is a man.
08:01He was 25 last birthday.
08:04And what is he like?
08:06I'm afraid I cannot tell you.
08:13Mr. Trenchard
08:14placed the baby
08:15in the care of a clergyman,
08:17and now he goes under the name
08:19of Charles Pope.
08:21We have never made our
08:22connection public.
08:24He himself knows nothing.
08:26What does he do?
08:28We had meant him for the cloth,
08:29like his adopted father.
08:31But I believe he proved to be more
08:34business-like.
08:36I know no more than that.
08:38Like your husband.
08:41Well,
08:41you cannot be surprised.
08:43Blood will out.
08:47I hope you will not think
08:48too badly
08:49of Sophia.
08:51You must protect her memory,
08:52poor child.
08:54We will try not to blame her.
08:55She is to be pitied.
08:58In that atmosphere,
09:00in Brussels,
09:00before the battle,
09:02anyone could lose
09:03their reason for a moment.
09:05I do not blame her.
09:07And she didn't lose her reason.
09:10She believed she was married
09:11to Lord Bellesis.
09:13He tricked her into thinking
09:14that her marriage
09:15had taken place.
09:16I beg your pardon.
09:17He tricked her.
09:19He bamboozled her.
09:21He 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.
09:27I don't believe you.
09:29That is your privilege.
09:31But it's the truth.
09:32I see how it is.
09:34Your daughter was scheming
09:35to catch my wretched son,
09:36no doubt encouraged
09:37by her parents.
09:39You mean Lord Bellesis
09:39was incapable
09:41of such behaviour?
09:42I most certainly do.
09:44He could never even have
09:45conceived of the very idea.
09:47Wasn't his godfather
09:48Lord Barclay?
09:49How did you know that?
09:52Lord Bellesis spoke of him
09:53one evening,
09:54when he joined us for dinner.
09:55He said that when Lord Barclay
09:57seduced the mother
09:58of his children,
09:59he got a friend to pose
10:00as a clergyman
10:02so he might lure
10:03the unsuspecting girl
10:04into bed.
10:06I beg you not to tell me
10:07that Lord Bellesis
10:08could 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 a marriage
10:23beyond even her father's dreams.
10:25Well, she failed.
10:26My son took her
10:27as his mistress,
10:28but what of that?
10:28He was a man
10:29and she was a slut.
10:31It happens.
10:34Ah, Jenkins,
10:35please take Mrs Trenchard down.
10:37And she's leaving.
10:46It'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 on earth.
10:53You spoke so well of him
10:54when we first met.
10:56I spoke of him
10:57as I knew him
10:58before that night.
10:59but I should have been honest.
11:02If it's any consolation,
11:03no one was more surprised
11:04than I
11:04to learn what he was capable of.
11:14I must ask,
11:16will you keep our secret?
11:19Can I have your word?
11:21Of course.
11:23Why would I publicize
11:24my late son's degradation?
11:26I wish you today.
11:55She'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.
12:01When she came home
12:01from Belgrave Square,
12:02she was shaking like a jelly
12:03and I swear she's had a headache
12:05from that moment.
12:06Have you tried valerian?
12:07Tried it.
12:08I've given her that much.
12:09I'm surprised she hasn't had a fit.
12:11And she's not sleeping.
12:12Has she said what's wrong?
12:14Not a word.
12:15It'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?
12:21I expect I have.
12:22Much good has it done me.
12:23You're not unhappy here,
12:25are you?
12:27Well,
12:28I'm not sure
12:30I've made the right choice.
12:32Look at Jane Croft,
12:34Miss Sophia's maid.
12:35She's a housekeeper now
12:36with a full staff
12:36of servants under her.
12:38Could have been me.
12:40Yeah, would you want that,
12:41Miss Ellis?
12:43Not sure what I want.
12:44It's beginning to look like
13:08Peel's going to win this election.
13:09It seems that Melbourne's
13:11on the way out.
13:13She's not going to like that.
13:15I believe the prince
13:16favours Sir Robert Peel.
13:18He would.
13:19He's German.
13:22You haven't forgotten
13:23that Stephen and Grace
13:24will be here for dinner.
13:27Are they bringing John?
13:29I think so.
13:30He's staying with them.
13:32Drat.
13:33They'll be wanting money.
13:34Thank you, Jenkins.
13:39Really, Peregrine.
13:42We'd have no secrets
13:43of our own.
13:45Don't worry about Jenkins,
13:46are you?
13:47He knows more about this family
13:48than I ever will.
13:49Don't worry about him,
13:51but it's rude to test him.
13:54Whether we like it or not,
13:55Stephen is your brother
13:56and your heir
13:57and shall be treated
13:57with respect,
13:58at least in public.
14:00They're not in private,
14:01by God.
14:04Jenkins, where's his lordship?
14:29He's gone for a walk, sir.
14:31Dinner will not be
14:32until half past four.
14:33Oh, said we were
14:34too damned early.
14:36Nobody eats dinner in London
14:37before six these days.
14:38That's where they've
14:38started eating
14:39with their tea.
14:41We're not in London.
14:43Yeah.
14:44All's a pity.
14:53Jenkins, give me another one.
14:55Soda water, sir?
14:56Yes.
14:57We wondered what had become
15:06of you.
15:07I can tell you
15:08what would become of me
15:09if I can't lay my hands
15:09on some funding.
15:11Well, that didn't take
15:12very long.
15:13I thought we'd at least
15:14get to the pudding
15:15before you held your hand out.
15:17Where have you been?
15:18We've been to Lower Farm.
15:22John, you were saying?
15:24I'm serious.
15:25There's nothing else for it.
15:26Nothing else for what?
15:27I have a tailor's bill to pay
15:28and the rent on Albany.
15:30Albany?
15:31Doesn't your mother pay that?
15:32And more tailor's bills?
15:34Yes.
15:35I don't know how a man
15:36in my position
15:36can get through the season
15:37without any clothes.
15:39Your position?
15:40Heavens,
15:40what position is that?
15:41Peregrine.
15:43It is not fair
15:45to expect him
15:46to look like a ragamuffin.
15:48Especially not now.
15:50Why?
15:50What's happening now?
15:52That's the reason
15:53for our coming.
15:54That's the other reason
15:55for coming.
15:57Go on.
15:58John
15:59has reached
16:00an understanding
16:01with Lady Maria Grey.
16:04What?
16:05Lord Templemore's daughter.
16:07Her father is dead.
16:08The present earl
16:09is her brother.
16:10Yes.
16:11She's still
16:11Lord Templemore's daughter.
16:14That's very good, John.
16:15Well done
16:16and congratulations.
16:17Sound astonished.
16:18Why shouldn't I marry
16:19Maria Grey?
16:20No reason.
16:21No reason at all.
16:22It's a very good match.
16:23I say again,
16:24well done.
16:25I mean it.
16:25It's a good match for her.
16:27The Templemores
16:28have no money to speak of
16:29and she's marrying
16:30the future earl
16:31of Brockenhurst, after all.
16:35So, what do you think
16:36of the work
16:37of the Ecclesiastical Commission?
16:40What do you mean?
16:41Are its reforms working?
16:44Implicating the dissidents
16:45or containing
16:46the Oxford movement?
16:47What do I care about any of it
16:48just as long as I don't have
16:49to give any more
16:50damned sermons?
16:51If you're not interested
16:52in the doctrine,
16:54why did you join the church?
16:56Why do you think?
16:57Because I'm the youngest son
16:58of an earl.
17:01Emerald's to have
17:02another child.
17:04You'll be a grandmother
17:04five times over.
17:06Think of that.
17:06They're hoping
17:10for another boy.
17:12Well, I shall write
17:13to her.
17:14Hugo's very keen
17:15on the second boy.
17:17He 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.
17:24An air
17:25and a spare.
17:25I wonder,
17:31dear brother,
17:32if I might
17:33have a little word
17:34in private later.
17:36Aren't we in private now?
17:38We all know
17:39you want to talk
17:39about money.
17:40All right,
17:49let's have it.
17:51We mustn't bore
17:51the ladies.
17:53You don't mind
17:53boring me.
17:55If we could,
17:55if we could just...
17:57Come on,
17:57come on,
17:58out with it.
17:58What my father
17:59is asking for
17:59is a loan
18:00against my future
18:00inheritance.
18:01Your inheritance
18:02or his?
18:04Our inheritance.
18:05You're saying
18:06he wants another loan
18:08against your inheritance?
18:09Very well,
18:10then.
18:11Another loan?
18:12I think my little brother
18:13has chipped away
18:14at his prospects
18:15quite substantially already.
18:17You will agree
18:17that the family's honour
18:18demands we keep up appearances?
18:20No, no, no, no.
18:21I don't agree at all.
18:23Any kind of show
18:24in a man of the cloth
18:25is neither expected
18:26nor liked
18:27by the public.
18:29What are you spending it on?
18:31Nothing you disapprove of.
18:34You'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,
18:41attend to your church duties
18:42and not go up
18:43to London so much.
18:47Tell me about
18:48Mariah Gray.
18:49I thought she'd only
18:50just been presented.
18:52No, no.
18:53She's quite out by now.
18:55She's 21.
18:56Her time flies.
18:58I'm surprised
18:59Lady Templemore
19:00said nothing to me.
19:02Perhaps she was
19:03waiting
19:03till things
19:05were quite settled.
19:05And are they settled now?
19:08They will be.
19:10Soon.
19:11And after that
19:12we'll announce it properly.
19:14You must feel
19:14very proud, John.
19:17Of what?
19:18Of convincing
19:19such a lovely girl
19:20to be your wife.
19:23Yes.
19:25Yes, I suppose I am.
19:26You've been very quiet.
19:31What's the matter?
19:34Why does my brother,
19:37who has never said
19:38or done anything
19:39of the slightest value,
19:42live to see
19:42his children
19:43make fine marriages
19:44and his
19:45grandchildren
19:46round his chair?
19:48Oh, my dear.
19:50A house in Harlanet Street,
19:51a large rectory
19:52here 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.
19:58And I am not.
20:03No, I'm sorry.
20:06But I'm just
20:07a silly old man,
20:08but sometimes
20:08I can't help
20:09but rail
20:10at the injustice of it.
20:13You think I don't?
20:15Do you ever wonder
20:20what he'd be like now?
20:21Married, of course.
20:25Clever sons
20:26and pretty daughters.
20:27Perhaps clever daughters
20:28and pretty sons.
20:33Point is,
20:34he's not here.
20:37Our boy is gone.
20:40I don't understand
20:42why it happened to us.
20:45peace offering.
20:54I can't pretend, James.
20:57It's brought it all back.
20:59My anger
20:59along with the rest.
21:02You 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?
21:15Ticket for the
21:15Horticultural Society's
21:17new botanical gardens.
21:21How did you get it?
21:23The cubits
21:23are among their supporters.
21:31Am I forgiven, then?
21:32I could take Susan.
21:40Susan dislikes flowers.
21:43You can't see beauty
21:44in anything she hasn't seen
21:45in Mr. Asprey's window.
21:48Poor Oliver.
21:52After the other night,
21:53I was wondering
21:53how to help him.
21:54What have you come up with?
21:56Cubits had an interesting idea
21:58to 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.
22:09Perhaps I can bring
22:10Oliver into it.
22:12You're welcome to try.
22:13It doesn't sound like
22:14your sort of thing at all.
22:16Perhaps he should be
22:17a little less choosy
22:17about what interests him.
22:20Well.
22:23I suppose it won't hurt.
22:29All alone, Mrs. Babbage?
22:38So I am.
22:40Mrs. Front's gone shopping
22:41for some bits and bobs.
22:42Might this be a moment
22:43for us to do a little business,
22:44I wonder?
22:54There's two shoulders
22:55of lamb in there
22:55and a leg.
22:56No doubt you can add
22:57some bottles to it.
22:58I can and I'll do it now.
23:01It's all up from Glanville
23:02so it needs to be eaten
23:03straight away.
23:04What does Mrs. Front say
23:05when she sees the food's gone?
23:06She knows better than to ask.
23:08I'll take it round now.
23:09They pay well for country meat.
23:10That looks heavy.
23:11It is.
23:12So I'll get it out of your way.
23:14It won't be too long.
23:15No hurry, Mr. Turton.
23:16The mistress is on her way
23:17to Kew
23:17and the master won't be back
23:18before six.
23:24You want to watch yourself.
23:25One day
23:27mistress will come down
23:28and ask to be shown
23:30what's been delivered
23:31from her beloved Glanville.
23:32Then Mrs. Front
23:34will deal with her enquiries,
23:36won't she, Miss Alice?
23:37Yeah.
24:13Mr. Paxton, I was hoping I'd see you.
24:17Mrs. Trenchard, how are you?
24:19Oh, I wish you could see the gardens at the anvil.
24:22There isn't a corner that has not benefited from your advice.
24:25One day.
24:26Ah, there you are, Paxton.
24:28I've been looking everywhere for you.
24:30Have you heard the news?
24:31What news is that, Your Grace?
24:33They've taken all the citrus out of the orangery.
24:36Too dark in there.
24:37They didn't have the advantage of your planning.
24:40Your Grace, Your Ladyship,
24:42may I present a keen and talented gardener,
24:45Mrs. Trenchard,
24:46the Duke of Devonshire,
24:48and Lady Brockenhurst.
24:49A pleasure, Mrs. Trenchard.
24:50Mrs. Trenchard and I are old friends.
24:53Excellent.
24:54Shall we go and see what they've done to the conservatory?
24:58Are you interested in Q?
25:01The Duke was good enough to ask for my help
25:03when the Horticultural Society
25:04first took on the management of the gardener.
25:06Mrs. Trenchard.
25:10That man we were talking about the other day.
25:13Charles Pope?
25:14The very one.
25:15Mr. Charles Pope.
25:18What about him?
25:20I forgot where he lives,
25:21this Mr. Pope.
25:22I'm not sure of the address.
25:27What about his parents?
25:29I remember the father was a clergyman.
25:32Reverend Benjamin Pope.
25:34And the county?
25:37Sorry.
25:38There we are.
25:40That didn't hurt too much, did it?
25:42Let's go.
25:45That didn't hurt.
25:46Anything while I've been out, Brodsworth?
26:13Yes, Mr Pope, you've got a visitor.
26:16I wasn't expecting anyone, was I?
26:17Well, you weren't expecting her.
26:18It's the Countess of Brockenhurst, was.
26:24Lady Brockenhurst.
26:26I'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?
26:53I have tea, I have coffee.
26:55No, no, thank you.
26:56Nothing.
26:56I dare say you're surprised to see me, but I've been curious to meet you.
27:11Have you?
27:12Why?
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.
27:51I'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.
28:06I won't keep you too long, but I would like you to send me whatever you think would be useful, and then I'll come back to you with my decision.
28:17What decision?
28:18As to whether or not we should invest in your company.
28:29Mr. 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.
28:42I 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.
28:51Is that so very puzzling?
28:54I should be delighted, milady.
29:15How do you know where to find me?
29:17Your role is here.
29:18Who's paying for this feed?
29:22You know what I mean?
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 was to invite Lady Mariah and her mother for dinner, and she needs you to suggest a date.
29:36Shall we just...
29:37Wait till everything's agreed.
29:38What's the matter, John?
29:39What's the matter, John?
29:42Why aren't you happier?
29:42Mariah seems a nice girl to me, and very pretty.
29:46Hmm.
29:47When a woman is to be served up on a platter to do with as one likes, well, it rather takes a sport out of it.
29:53At least it does to me.
29:54Anyway, Uncle Peregrin is, please.
29:58It's all that really matters.
30:00Well, you grow to like her, I'm 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.
30:20Is 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.
30:34And it's hard to get up much enthusiasm for something that begins so late in the evening.
30:40Well, but surely you...
30:40What is it you're trying to ask?
30:43I 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.
31:04If the Countess of Brock and Hurst deigns to know them.
31:07That's what a master will think, anyway.
31:12Why does Lady Brock and Hurst want to bother with them?
31:14What have the trenches got to give the Brock and Hursts?
31:17Why?
31:18Do 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.
31:24Brock and Hurst House, again?
31:26Oh, that's the invitation for Mr and Mrs Oliver.
31:29You'll see.
31:33I think I have everything I need.
31:36They brought this round just now.
31:38From Brock and Hurst House.
31:41I see.
31:44You may go.
31:45Good night, Ellis, and thank you.
31:46Well, well, Susan will be pleased.
32:08We shouldn't go.
32:10Of course we should go.
32:12Why 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 Brock and Hurst 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.
33:20Mr 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 Brock and Hurst, may I present Mr Trenchard.
33:40Lady Brock and Hurst, it is very gracious of you to invite us to your charming home.
33:46Not at all.
33:46I 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.
33:57What a beautiful drawing room.
34:00So, 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.
34:09At 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 and indeed
34:22houses for management and so on.
34:25And we're expanding the docks.
34:26James.
34:26It'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
34:33the world.
34:33The further the empire expands...
34:35How exciting you make it sound.
34:37Would you excuse me?
34:40Mr and Mrs John Grant.
34:45Oh, really?
34:47What 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.
35:02Mr Trenshid, I'm Stephen Bellisus.
35:08And the 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.
35:24Revolution is popular.
35:25What sort of test is that?
35:27We understand from Lady Brockenhurst that you knew our poor nephew, Lord Bellisus.
35:33Yes, we knew him well.
35:34But 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.
35:52Yes.
35:52The Countess of Templemore and Lady Mariah Gray.
35:56Oh, 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.
36:15Ah, the Isle of Dogs may not seem so inspiring.
36:19I'm sure if we were finished, the whole area would be transformed.
36:24Mr. Charles Pope.
36:25Expanding the birth of her is what we should do.
36:28She'd have walked through time.
36:30Go on.
36:34If you can.
36:38If you can, she's just...
36:39I need suggestions.
36:44Mrs. Trenchard.
36:46May I present a new acquaintance?
36:48Mr. Charles Pope.
36:50Mr. Trenchard?
36:51What 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 long.
37:06A while.
37:08Not long.
37:08A while.
37:09Yes, dear.
37:10Do tell me.
37:11How long have you known Mr. Pope?
37:14Well, I knew his father,
37:15and when Charles came to London,
37:18I felt it my duty to lend a hand if I could.
37:21And 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 realise
37:33I was playing the wrong game.
37:34Mr. Trenchard rescued me.
37:36He helped get my own business up and running.
37:38I couldn't have managed without him.
37:40It is the same venture you're interested in,
37:41Lady Brockhamhurst.
37:43In what way are you...
37:46interested?
37:47Isn't London a tiny place?
37:49Forgive me,
37:51but I don't understand.
37:54Are you and Mr. Trenchard...
37:56In business together?
37:58We are.
37:59In a way, I'm glad to say.
38:01How long has this been going on?
38:05Mr. 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.
38:19No, it's me.
38:21Come.
38:23Anne, I...
38:24I 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.
38:36Keep your voice down.
38:37I thought we had an agreement.
38:40You are in no position to lecture me.
38:42You have built and enjoyed a friendship
38:44with our grandson
38:45that you have denied me most cruelly.
38:49I invested in his business.
38:52I gave him advice.
38:55Do you not think that Sophia
38:56would have wanted that?
38:57Really, Mr. Bellisens,
39:12you made me offend Nice Baron,
39:15whatever his name was.
39:17Honestly,
39:18and I was on my best behaviour, too.
39:20Yes, I bet your behaviour's always pretty good.
39:23Worse luck.
39:25Oh, Quicken.
39:27My frightful old boar
39:35is headed straight towards us.
39:37Took me half an hour
39:38to shake him off for the last time.
39:39That old boar was my father-in-law.
39:42Ha, ha, ha.
39:43Or you.
39:46I 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'm going to make you do
39:54all manner of things
39:55you don't want to do in the least.
39:57Oh, er, sorry.
40:11Do 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.
40:18I 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.
40:31Then perhaps we'd better introduce ourselves.
40:34Charles Pope.
40:35Mariah Gray.
40:40So, 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 Agra 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
42:22of 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
42:32than they expected.
42:34Mariah?
42:35Mariah?
42:36Mariah?
42:36Mariah?
42:36Mariah?
42:36They're calling us to supper.
42:38And we must find John.
42:39We've hardly spoken to him all evening.
42:42Mariah?
42:43Mariah?
42:44Mariah?
42:47Mariah?
43:00Mariah?
43:00Mr. Pope, come and sit with me.
43:25I don't know if it's my sister-in-law up to.
43:27Why is she making such a fuss of that dreary little man?
43:31Do you think him dreary?
43:33I don't.
43:35There 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? Who 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. He doesn't work for him. He works for himself.
43:56They know each other.
43:57They may have some project in common.
44:00But that's all.
44:02So you can't explain Lady Brockenhurst'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.
44:35John is not interested in cotton merchants.
44:39Are you?
44:40Well, I'm interested to know why my aunt is so taken with him.
44:43I can't believe I've never been...
44:44How do you all know this?
44:46I was talking to him earlier.
44:48We were discussing India.
