02:26truly impressed as
02:27i always am with you thank you that means a lot have you given up journalism i'm focused on my
02:34novel
02:34right now are you familiar with francis ellen watkins hopper of course i admire her writing and
02:39her work to get women the vote why would you like to interview mrs hopper about these suffrage meetings
02:44she's over oh thank you for thinking of me for this no one else will do the story of justice

03:03back in
03:03brooklyn 61st street mostly all right i must be off nice to meet you come on i thought i was
03:09just
03:09bringing you to a baseball game not helping you get your next writing assignment sounds like a
03:13wonderful opportunity it is it is you don't seem convinced it's complicated with mr fortune we'll
03:21see a difficult manager no it's not that i just i have my other writing work to consider and i
03:26just
03:26have to find a balance is all that's life's ultimate conundrum isn't it you're right how are we doing with
03:32the illinois central line we've got 30 maybe a little more 30 i need to control the line
03:39the merrick family won't sell nor will risley sage they both want to govern chicago as do i
03:45what about morency you must understand they only have those mines once they're gone they will have
03:52nothing left and they don't believe us whatever we say i hired you to buy that land you've hired me
03:57to
03:57give you wise counsel you may not like what i'm telling you but if you want to buy them out
04:01you need
04:01more money you don't care do you if i'd asked the old clay to get me those mines he'd have
04:08trodden on his
04:09mother's grave to do it all i'm saying is your financial position is not good why do you think
04:14morgan pulled out are you finished yes i agree you are finished with me excuse me i don't need
04:26counsel to tell me what's not possible i need someone to help me achieve the impossible it's become
04:32very clear you are not that person you have neither the vision nor the courage to continue working
04:37for me it isn't my fault you can't face the truth you're over leveraged in driving your
04:41company off a cliff wake up before it's too late
05:01the news of mr borough and mrs drayton has kept the honeymoon out of the papers but they still
05:05print gossip of her grace and not just her they talk of me and of mr russell's business it must
05:10stop it
05:11must be upsetting them i'm not the mistress of my own house anymore i feel there's a spy around
05:15every corner you're sure it's a member of staff or as i would call them a traitor i'm enlisting the
05:19aid of mrs bruce and mr borden to help me find the culprit madam can they be trusted i hope
05:25so at this
05:26point everyone is suspect public's always curious about the lies of the fortunate few yes but who's selling
05:36the details in my experience it's always the most recent hire who's the guilty one when it comes to
05:42leaks that makes it hard to narrow down we took on several footmen with the duke's visit and the
05:46weddings but it's someone with a sharp ear this latest story about mr russell buying the illinois central
05:52line is that true i should get back i don't think i'd be much help but i'll give it thought
05:57if i have any
05:58ideas i'll tell you i'd appreciate it the truth is i'm at my wit's end and worse so is the
06:03mistress
06:11is there any news from gladys no but no news is good news george she's settling into a new life
06:17don't worry i walked her down that aisle she looked as if she were headed for the guillotine if you
06:22want
06:22to help her help me find whoever's leaking this nonsense to the papers hertha 20 or 30 people
06:27work in our house most of whom we don't know of course there are leaks of course they sell secrets
06:32about us that is the way we live so what are you suggesting that i should be the only woman
06:36on the
06:36street cooking her own dinner i'm suggesting we should try to avoid having too many secrets meanwhile
06:41i need your help with something or rather someone of course who you know him alfred marrick he's on the
06:48border than that his family owns shares in the illinois central line which i need to buy but they
06:52won't sell what can i do invite him to dinner make a fuss at him pull out all the stops
06:59and charm
06:59him into compliance i've tried everything else i heard raised voices coming from the library earlier
07:04is everything all right nothing for you to worry about just set up that dinner
07:12it took nearly 10 years to build sinless castle this gallery was remodeled by the third duke to make
07:20a bachelor corridor that's our mother she's very lovely it's a good likeness but i'm never sure about
07:29wedding portraits my mother had a portrait of me done by mr sergeant it's in new york best place for
07:36it
07:41what is that contraption haven't you ever seen a maestro before you have mice everyone has mice
07:47happily we also have a cat you can't expect us to be up to the minute we've lived here since
07:521612
07:53why i know you americans like to build new houses for yourselves but we would rather stay in one place
07:59the house has quite a rich history while you're away i notice how shabby the morning room was looking i
08:04need
08:04some ideas well i thought i might go to garrett's for their advice are they dead one cousin is dead
08:10but the other is working and good with paneling or so i'm told by the way the mild mayors are
08:14dining here tomorrow and the coattest who are they i've done the menus but do you still hate scallops
08:18bitterly never mind wade will have some ideas ladies aren't you coming
08:30is that for us i can take them
08:36i hope this job won't be a burden to you as you finish your novel
08:39i can manage ma'am in fact there doesn't seem to be as much post as there used to be
08:44yes i've fallen
08:45off of many people's lists you do have a second letter here from the new york heritage society they
08:50want money they're inviting you to be a founding member that's code for a lot of money they're
08:55impressed with the family's long association with new york first they flatter you then the request
09:00comes in and it's always for money this arrived as i came in did i read that return correctly is
09:07it
09:07from mr fortune i've agreed to write an article form on francis watkins harper oh but i know of her
09:12that's wonderful is that a train ticket she's in philadelphia i'll leave on thursday to interview her
09:18i don't understand is that wise why would it be unwise well because miss brooke has the same
09:27concerns as you my heavy workload but this is a real opportunity but of course you must go
09:34will you be traveling alone i know philadelphia quite well might dr kirkland keep you company
09:39why would she need a doctor she's made a full recovery
09:52i didn't think an encounter with a footman would bring me a fortune he won't be a footman for long
09:56i should say not now will you tell me why you've asked me in here i want you to go
10:00to morency clay
10:02failed to make the deal now he's gone and i want you to take his place you fired clay i
10:08have and i need
10:08this settled right away but i can't leave new york my investors are skittish i must hold their
10:12hands well i don't blame them with the markets in chaos and the run on the back yes yes but
10:17i'm
10:17counting on you i need this land for the railway expansion what's in it for me what i'm not sure
10:26i want us to work together so before i give an answer i'd like to know how it could be
10:29of advantage to me
10:32what is it i'm always a bit shocked when i see myself in you you'll have everything i own in
10:38the
10:38end so if this is a success it will eventually be yours why did clay fail he said he needed
10:45more
10:45money which you weren't willing to give him no but i also feel he squandered what i did give
10:52what about the mines that is not my focus why not because there's no money to be made of them
10:56if i'm
10:56to do this i have to make sure it's worth my while perhaps i'll invest my own money still i'm
11:02not making
11:02any promises i admire how you negotiate i'll need the information on the mines i'll get you the
11:09metallurgy report and i can't leave for a few days you're leaving tomorrow i have plans what is more
11:14important than this i'm going to ask marion brooke to marry me i think she'll accept but i wanted to
11:23wait
11:23until after gladys's wedding i was going to tell both of you but i'm not sure how i'll manage that
11:29if i'm going to be in morency for a month congratulations you've chosen well
11:39i'm pleased good i'm not sure mother will be so open-hearted leave your mother to me
11:45we'll announce it when you're back she'll be used to the idea by then
11:50now go and get ready you leave first thing
12:01do you like it
12:04very much i hope your first dinner party is a success your grace
12:08i do too thank you for your help it's my job
12:14but having you here while i'm so far away from home is really comforting
12:17i suppose getting used to all this will take time i'm glad if i've been helpful
12:22the real problem is lady sarah i agree your grace if i may there's so many rules i'm keen to
12:29learn
12:29them being ladies made to a duchess is not something i could ever have imagined nor could

16:37of proportion besides larry is nice agnes you know he is all i know is that woman will claim kinship
16:44just see if she doesn't we'll have to manage it i suppose i am being asked to manage too much
16:49regarding the russells not only is he marrying our niece but he's made our footman rich which is
16:55upsetting to everyone in this household not the footman
17:03absolutely marvelous

18:58there'll be one thing that tea i'll take it up
19:08really but why was he asking for his coat
19:16it's because he confused the valet with the rector do you see oh hector don't be unkind you can't

19:36are you staying for some port
19:44congratulations i wish you all the happiness in the world thank you mr russell

20:44make of the news they're pleased i'm sure why wouldn't they be we'll wait for the formal announcement
20:50oh yes there's no hurry i think it must be after i get back from renci and why is this
20:55news to me as
20:56well because it's all just happened today my father needs me in arizona so i'm catching a train in the
21:01morning i leave the house for one charity meeting and it seems as if your entire future is decided in
21:05my absence but here's to your future to you both here here you must see it the vatican yes and
21:18don't
21:19miss the rafael rooms everyone talks of the sistine chapel but rafael's choice of vibrant colors haunts
21:26you like one of mrs russell's gowns i should like to visit italy speaking of which the choice to do
21:32a
21:32season of italian opera seems to have been a success norma was a stunning production george was
21:37away for it that's right i remember you were there without him i couldn't miss it many women will not
21:42go out to an event like that without a husband there aren't many women like my wife she is one
21:47of a kind
21:51have you ever been married no i was engaged once but it was called off not by me how sad
21:59what a
21:59silly girl i'm sorry don't be it was years ago count yourself lucky if she didn't appreciate you
22:04then she didn't deserve you i'm not sure that's quite fair but thank you for lifting my spirits i
22:10meant what i said tell me about your daughter the duchess at her castle in england i suppose she's
22:16written about in the columns but i never read them thank you she's doing well well we hope she's doing
22:21well we haven't heard much from her it must be interesting for her whatever else it turns out to be
22:27bertha has lofty goals for our children i'd say we both do this is a house of high ambition your
22:33wife wanted an opera box now we have a new opera house and the academy of music is dust that
22:38was not
22:38my intention but that was the result i must agree with you mr marrick the russells do not stop until
22:47we get what we want i'll leave you to your port i'm no match for you my brother taught me
23:01to play when
23:02i was quite young i've many years of practice is this the brother at the helm of the illinois central
23:07line yes edgar have you met no but i've done my research your family takes pride in the railway we
23:15do
23:17and yet you keep selling shares to risley sage we haven't sold a share in years it's true edgar
23:25made decisions back then that let in sage but that won't happen again the illinois central goes
23:31through chicago and there's no better way to connect the coasts chicago is the key that's why
23:38risley sage wants to control it with him it's a daily struggle the instability in the markets has made
23:44your company vulnerable but i can change that if you sell to me i'll transform it make it fit for
23:50the future sage would bleed the line of every cent and then sell it off piecemeal to the highest bidders
23:56and you won't do the same if you sell to me i'll make sure the merrick still have a voice
24:02in the most important railroad in the country
24:07your speech broke my concentration i'm happy if it makes you take my offer seriously
24:15the reason it's in chicago is that was the center of my grandmother's world selling it would be like
24:20getting rid of her if you allow me a majority you'll still have a great many shares and i'll always
24:24recognize that i don't know you mr russell i know your wife and i like her but you didn't become
24:29this rich by making heartwarming promises or if you did i doubt you kept them it's true that none of
24:34my competitors would promise what i have thank you mr russell but we are a proud family and edgar has
24:39a
24:39plan in place that will keep him as head of the company for years to come so i don't think
24:44there's
24:44any offer you could make that would entice us to sell now i'll say good night
24:52well i'm disappointed
25:07where'd you meet your husband
25:11at my first job in new york i was a housemaid he looked after the accounts for the kitchens
25:18so he's a hard worker a hard worker funny rather good looking
25:27and i was young were you happy i think so
25:35we wanted children
25:38but some things aren't meant to be
25:43was that what caused his melancholia i used to think so
25:48but now i'm not so sure
25:50you still love him
25:53that's such a hard question i withdraw
25:55no don't
25:59i still love the man he used to be
26:04but whether he loves me
26:10no
26:12i love you
26:16a minute
26:20and i'm grateful
26:25i mean that too
26:34i think miss marion would want us at the wedding
26:37are you sure when mrs van ryan is opposed to it she may be but she will attend in protest
26:43what does that mean it means she wear a frown and a dark dress but we'll be invited and so
26:50will
26:50jack since mr larry is his business partner there will not be a servant at their wedding mrs russell
26:55won't allow it no when jack is probably richer than most of the other guests
27:01what do you mean
27:03yes how can john be that rich
27:06it's not for me to say oh come on mrs bauer don't tease us like this how much was john
27:12paid for the clock
27:16three hundred thousand dollars

28:53wouldn't mind
28:53discussing
29:01is
29:01has one of them got your attention
29:05i won't be a minute
29:16excuse me but are you maude beat
29:21who's she you needn't admit it of course why should i when my name's dolly trent enough
29:40what happened tonight i could ask the same question thank you andre yes madam are you ready
29:45for newport i am madam marion brooke is not the kind of girl i have in mind for larry keep
29:51out of
29:51it bertha i won't let you do to larry what you did to gladys i learned he is to marry
29:55without my
29:55consent he is of age and does not require your consent or your approval i approve and i'm still
30:01the head of this house though your behavior tonight has made me think what do you mean i
30:05felt like a cuckold at my own dinner table you were the one who begged me to charm him you
30:09didn't
30:09need to be as charming as that should i have sulked in silence well they won't sell anyway so it
30:13was all a waste of time i'm sorry but i did what you asked really because i've never seen you
30:18behave like that with anyone you cannot be angry with me if you were unable to close a business
30:22deal i am not at fault of course not bertha you are as pristine as a raphael fresco
30:33might you have done something to offend lady sarah not that i can think of
30:39though she seems to offend easily that's true enough mr fox told me there'd be a ticket for my
30:45passage back to america but can she fire me if i work for you let me see what i can
30:51do
31:00how can you dismiss my maid for no reason i had my reasons and she was never meant to be
31:06permanent
31:06maybe but she was to stay to train her replacement i'm afraid she's not equipped
31:10to train a new maid not for life at sidmouth at any rate in your opinion
31:16yes in my opinion your opinion is not the only one to be considerate surely even you concede
31:22that i know a little more about how things are managed in england
31:32why couldn't she keep her maid hector i'm trying to turn her into an english duchess
31:37it's hard work and she's unpromising material but i'm doing my best
31:41it was you who told me i must save the family with a yankee heiress
31:45i suppose it never occurred to me that you'd have to bring her home
31:51this is to be sent to new york immediately tell no one yes sir grace

36:35across it not long ago i suppose she's living it up spending your mother's money

36:50goodness that's not what i expected at all
36:55will you go and see her there i'm not sure maybe for what purpose it can't be revenge
37:02if she's at the hay market justice has already been served oh i'd still like answers
37:07she left me penniless yes but there's a but the deception was mutual she may have stolen your
37:15money but if you had married her you would have stolen her entire life neither of you was being

40:49you rang mom ah yes banister

40:58clock
40:58endeavor do not include me in this will you find out yes mom
41:04adnes that was too intrusive a question not with john living under my roof i know you have the money
41:10now but this was my house for much longer than it's been yours oh
41:17oh it's beautiful he chose it himself oh my lord is it public yet not quite larry went to arizona
41:25on
41:26business for his father he wants it announced as soon as he returns
41:30well done you're the first person who's been able to cheer me up i'm happy to see you smile
41:35i haven't done in so long it feels strange i'm thrilled at your news and so pleased you could come
41:43at least i'll have one friend to talk to at mrs fisher's party so newport is as hard on divorcees
41:49as
41:49everywhere else the locals are kinder but this is the season's first big event with summer people
41:54from new york they say that mrs astor's coming but i don't think she can be mrs fish wouldn't have
42:00asked me if she were how is mrs astor with you i haven't seen her since the news broke i've
42:06been
42:06here she has troubles of her own you heard her daughter's husband challenged her lover to a duel
42:11i've read all about it in the papers i confess i don't often feel sorry for mrs astor well
42:16at least it should make her kinder towards you i'm not sure lena astor has her own ways of seeing
42:21things
42:26so will you live here in newport now maybe the lawyers say i'll get the houses when it all goes
42:32through how have they managed that charles is the adulterer so the court favors me
42:37i get the houses but of course he gets our friends and the life we live together
42:46as soon as i think i've no more tears to shed they come
42:53anyway enough of all that let's talk of happier things all right but we should do it in the carriage
43:01or we'll be late to mrs fish
43:06mrs astor can we expect your daughter mrs drayton to join us uh no i'm sorry she won't be coming
43:12that's too bad why is that i wanted to thank her she spoke to gladys about life in europe
43:17her advice was very helpful sometimes with charlotte we go back to europe and make a life there
43:22that might help us all miss marion brooke and mrs fane
43:31miss brooke mrs fane i wasn't sure you'd come i accepted the invitations well you might not want to
43:39stay if you'll excuse me miss brooke mrs astor is here i wasn't sure she was going to make it
43:47from new
43:47new york when i asked her
43:59aurora you look well thank you for saying that i feel like a pariah i'm sorry it's not your fault
44:07i suspect mrs astor may use you as a distraction from the gossip about her daughter's marital woes
44:11i sympathize with them both we're all so quick to see the moat in someone else's eye and forget
44:16the plank in our room bless you i wish i could do more you've done so much already luncheon is
44:23served
44:26shall we
44:32mrs fane i apologize this is all very difficult and i'm not quite certain what i should do then i'll
44:38tell
44:38you you should show mrs fane to a seat please don't put me on the spot i'll leave i don't
44:42want to be the
44:42source of any trouble then i'll leave with you but you can't you're our main patron if you go then
44:47run for the doors you should have thought of that no bertha i don't want to ruin the party for
44:51anyone
44:52how will that help i'll go i can take aurora home that's so good of you miss brooke very well
44:57if you're
44:58sure yes come
45:05i was invited to this when i was mrs charles fane now i'm no one
45:09oh
45:16another lovely gathering mimi i'm grateful to have this moment alone though you may not be pleased with
45:21what i have to say that sounds worrying you're digging your own grave if you think you can bury
45:26aurora fane when charlotte is headed for the divorce court oh charlotte charlotte was always
45:31an unruly child but i thought she'd grow out of it we even let her choose her own husband but
45:37unfortunately marriage didn't steady her now her failings have become fodder for the gossip mills
45:42if you know that then why are you stalking mrs fane stalking
45:47charlotte is not getting a divorce mrs fane is even if charlotte were to reconcile with mr drayton
45:53now that he has challenged her lover to a duel they have opened a pandora's box
45:58mimi you must understand i cannot weaken on this matter well then you have one question to answer
46:08and what is that are you willing to exile your own daughter from society if not you cannot exile mrs
46:19fame you have a difficult choice to make lena i do not envy you how was newport ma'am i
46:26hope you
46:27had an enjoyable stay it was interesting any news of our spying traitor not yet ma'am i was right
46:34gladys is miserable i should never have allowed you to bully her like what are you talking about read it
46:42what's your great plan now bertha this can be fixed and i'll see to it i'll go to england i
46:47don't know
46:48if i'm angry with you or myself you made me weak and i find that hard to forgive
46:55someone said the gallia set sail the day after tomorrow what will you say to her when you get
46:59there you can't make her love him i can fix this believe me that's the problem i don't think i
47:04do
47:04believe you anymore i can solve this sooner than you think i'll be there before larry even sets foot
47:08in more mc i'll make everything right do what you want don't expect me to be here when you get
47:14back
