00:00:04Today is my sister's wedding day.
00:00:08Jane's marrying the Earl of Windhealth.
00:00:11Our debts will be cleared,
00:00:13father's honor restored.
00:00:35It's Elizabeth!
00:00:37This was just found in the bride's dressing room!
00:00:48Liz, please forgive me.
00:00:50I can't do this.
00:00:51I won't be traded off to some man.
00:00:53I'm so sorry it had to be you who found this.
00:00:55Don't come looking for me.
00:00:56Jane.
00:00:59Jane, do you know?
00:00:59That if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Windeck,
00:01:02the Fenwick family will be ruined completely.
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family
00:01:18before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed.
00:01:21If not for some old favor the Fenwicks once did the late Earl,
00:01:24it's hard to imagine this match ever being considered at all.
00:01:41Miss, Mr. Vale has come to hurry things along twice already.
00:01:47I know.
00:01:51Miss, you can't go in like this.
00:01:52There's no time.
00:01:55There's no time.
00:01:55I don't know.
00:02:33That is not Jane Fenwick.
00:02:35That's the younger sister.
00:02:37The younger sister?
00:02:38But she's...
00:02:38The legitimate one, I should think.
00:02:40Good Lord, what an insult to the honour of the House of Wyndham.
00:02:47Why, Elizabeth?
00:02:49Why would you put her in Jane's place?
00:02:51How could you replace my legitimate daughter
00:02:53and have Elizabeth marry the Earl instead?
00:02:56How dare you!
00:02:58Rachel, please.
00:02:59Not here.
00:03:00I will save you.
00:03:02Miss Fenwick.
00:03:04Yes, my lord.
00:03:06You are not Miss Jane Fenwick.
00:03:09Yes, my lord.
00:03:10I am her sister.
00:03:12I owe you an explanation
00:03:13and I fully intend to give you one.
00:03:17My lord, I know this isn't what you agreed to.
00:03:20I have no right to ask anything of you, but...
00:03:26Marry me.
00:03:27Please, I'm begging you.
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen,
00:03:38I thank you for your attendance this morning.
00:03:40It is my honour to present to you...
00:03:44my bride.
00:03:57On the night of my sister's wedding,
00:04:00I became a countess.
00:04:15Where is Lord Edward?
00:04:16His lordship was called away to London
00:04:18on urgent business.
00:04:19You may move to Thormitt later today.
00:04:21Shh!
00:04:26He didn't even hear my explanation.
00:04:29He left without signing the marriage papers.
00:04:33Perhaps he never meant to sign them at all.
00:04:36Is this some kind of punishment?
00:04:38For taking my sister's place?
00:05:11None of us attended.
00:05:13But I've heard every detail.
00:05:15They say the sister ran off
00:05:17and the younger one took her place.
00:05:19Showed up in riding clothes, no less.
00:05:21You do keep well informed, Dorothea.
00:05:23Tell me,
00:05:24was she truly in riding clothes?
00:05:26Mrs. Milsom's daughter
00:05:27was sitting in the front rows.
00:05:28She said when the cloak fell,
00:05:29the entire church went silent
00:05:31for a full five seconds.
00:05:32Five seconds?
00:05:33When was the last time you managed that?
00:05:35I've never had the pleasure
00:05:36of causing such a spectacle.
00:05:38Poor Earl.
00:05:39Poor?
00:05:40I don't think so.
00:05:41He doesn't do anything out of pity.
00:05:42He has his reasons.
00:05:44A piece of Fenwick land,
00:05:45an old debt,
00:05:46something of that sort.
00:05:47As for the girl,
00:05:48I'd wager she's some wild little country girl.
00:05:50Hard, curly fit for society.
00:05:52Likely doesn't even know her manners.
00:05:59Who is that over there?
00:06:01A gardener,
00:06:02or one of the maids?
00:06:04Just look at the state of her.
00:06:06About that level, I'd say.
00:06:08Edward's new wife
00:06:09can't be much better.
00:06:11You?
00:06:11The one picking strawberries.
00:06:13Come here.
00:06:19Are you speaking to me?
00:06:21Of course.
00:06:22Who else could I be speaking to?
00:06:34Pour us some tea.
00:06:41My dear,
00:06:42do stay for a cup of tea before you go.
00:06:52Oh, how clumsy.
00:06:58Lady Winfond,
00:06:58your tea is ready.
00:07:00The housekeeper says
00:07:00there are new letters
00:07:01for your attention.
00:07:02If you would come with me.
00:07:10You're Edward's new wife?
00:07:22My lady.
00:07:26That's my girl.
00:07:29My lord.
00:07:33Tell Lady Winfond that I...
00:07:35Wait.
00:07:40Give this to Lady Winfond,
00:07:43and...
00:07:44Yes, my lord.
00:07:54Please excuse me.
00:08:01You saw that, didn't you?
00:08:02The way she carried herself.
00:08:04Deliberate.
00:08:04Every bit of it.
00:08:05Pretending to be a servant
00:08:06just to make fools of us.
00:08:07Yes.
00:08:08Very deliberate.
00:08:09Married in riding clothes.
00:08:11Picking strawberries herself.
00:08:12Hair in that state.
00:08:13What on earth
00:08:15has Edward brought help?
00:08:16What indeed.
00:08:18I am curious
00:08:19how you intend
00:08:20to finish that sentence,
00:08:21Dorothea.
00:08:21Who do you think you are?
00:08:22A country girl
00:08:23who stumbled into a title
00:08:25through a farzical wedding?
00:08:26What right do you have?
00:08:28Today you sit in my garden,
00:08:29at my table,
00:08:30drinking tea you brought yourself,
00:08:31and you didn't so announce
00:08:32your arrival.
00:08:33If you know your cousin
00:08:34as you say you do,
00:08:35you'd know he dislikes
00:08:36being disturbed.
00:08:37Next time,
00:08:37send word ahead.
00:08:38I'll have tea prepared,
00:08:39properly hot,
00:08:40not scalded.
00:08:42My lady.
00:08:43The Earl
00:08:44will be arriving shortly.
00:08:45He asks that you
00:08:46come out to receive him.
00:08:49Is my cousin back?
00:08:50I haven't seen him in ages.
00:08:52I'll go greet him as well.
00:08:54Lady Dorothea,
00:08:55Lord Edward,
00:08:56has made it clear
00:08:56that now that he is married,
00:08:58all visitors are to be received
00:09:00only with Lady Winewield's consent.
00:09:12Please lead the way.
00:09:14My apologies, my lady.
00:09:16His lordship has been called away again.
00:09:18He did, however,
00:09:19leave strict instructions
00:09:20that you are not to be disturbed.
00:09:21This was just delivered for you.
00:09:30Word has it his trip to London
00:09:31had less to do with business
00:09:32and more to do with
00:09:33rekindling an old flame,
00:09:35Cecilia Marlott,
00:09:36his mother's goddaughter.
00:09:37They were raised together
00:09:38at Thornwood, apparently.
00:09:42What happened after?
00:09:44She married an old Duke in Wales.
00:09:47Poor girl.
00:09:48You feel sorry for her?
00:09:50Her husband just died.
00:09:52She's inherited a fortune.
00:09:55Who knows?
00:09:56She might come back.
00:09:57You'd better secure
00:09:58Lord Edward's affections
00:09:59while you can.
00:10:01I have not seen him
00:10:02since our wedding.
00:10:03What?
00:10:03How could that possibly be?
00:10:05It was wrong of me
00:10:06to take my sister's place
00:10:08and marry him that day.
00:10:09I never thought beyond that.
00:10:11Oh, my dear.
00:10:13What a cruel twist of fate.
00:10:15You were meant to go to London
00:10:16to study
00:10:17and now you're trapped
00:10:18in this cold, dreadful place.
00:10:20So his affections
00:10:22were already given elsewhere
00:10:23and I've only trapped him here.
00:10:32After all,
00:10:33what is there between
00:10:34Lord Edward and me
00:10:35but a signature
00:10:35in the parish register?
00:10:37A tranquil life
00:10:38that suits me well enough.
00:10:41So cold.
00:10:48Elizabeth.
00:10:49Consider this my return
00:10:51for the insult.
00:10:52Enjoy finding your way
00:10:53across Thornwood
00:10:54with nothing on.
00:11:09Oh, no.
00:11:11Oh, no.
00:11:34I'm the Countess of Wyndham.
00:11:36I command you to stop.
00:11:38You have no idea
00:11:40what it means
00:11:40to offend
00:11:41the Countess of Wyndham.
00:11:50My Lord, this is...
00:11:51I can explain.
00:11:54Please do not.
00:11:58You may...
00:11:59You may turn around now.
00:12:07My Lord!
00:12:08This is entirely unnecessary.
00:12:09I assure you,
00:12:11I am quite capable of...
00:12:12You are barefoot on Flint.
00:12:14Kindly be still.
00:12:22My Lord.
00:12:24I'm here.
00:12:26I still owe you
00:12:27an explanation.
00:12:28Are you willing
00:12:29to hear it now?
00:12:32As you can see,
00:12:33I'm not otherwise occupied.
00:12:37I took my sister's place
00:12:38and married you that day
00:12:39because...
00:12:41because I wanted my mother
00:12:42to stop being beaten.
00:12:44I see.
00:12:48You didn't need
00:12:49to do any of this.
00:12:51The moment you said
00:12:52I do at that altar,
00:12:53you fulfilled the agreement.
00:12:54You owe me nothing more.
00:12:56So this is all
00:12:57just an agreement to you?
00:12:58Nothing more?
00:12:59Is it not?
00:13:00I don't make a habit
00:13:01of saying things
00:13:02I don't mean, Elizabeth.
00:13:07That's the first time
00:13:08he's said my name.
00:13:09I understand, my Lord.
00:13:11Call me Edward.
00:13:12I've married you.
00:13:13You're my wife.
00:13:14You hold all the rights
00:13:15of the Countess of Thornworth,
00:13:17including the right
00:13:17to know your husband.
00:13:31Cecilia.
00:13:33Cecilia Marlowe.
00:13:35The girl Edward grew up with.
00:13:40Milo...
00:13:41Edward.
00:13:42Sit down.
00:13:45May I ask you a question?
00:13:47Please do.
00:13:49Is there
00:13:50someone else you care for?
00:13:52In London, perhaps?
00:13:57Are you angry with me
00:13:59for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:01Not in the least.
00:14:02I only mean to say
00:14:03I've no objection
00:14:04to any other attachments
00:14:05you may have.
00:14:06This marriage serves
00:14:07both our families.
00:14:09I have no wish
00:14:10to be a petty,
00:14:10jealous Countess.
00:14:11And if I were to tell you
00:14:13there is no such person,
00:14:14would you believe me?
00:14:18I...
00:14:18Yes.
00:14:19I believe I would.
00:14:31Elizabeth,
00:14:32you are the only Lady Windorf
00:14:34I should like,
00:14:36if you're willing,
00:14:38to have a true marriage.
00:14:40In every sense.
00:14:44Is he asking me to bear an heir
00:14:47for the Wyndham line?
00:14:50Come in.
00:14:53It is late.
00:14:55Yes.
00:15:06Elizabeth.
00:15:08Yes.
00:15:10You are frightened.
00:15:13I'm not.
00:15:14I mean,
00:15:15it would be entirely reasonable
00:15:16for you to...
00:15:16Elizabeth.
00:15:20I will not require
00:15:22anything of you tonight.
00:15:23I beg your pardon.
00:15:24You heard me.
00:15:26But...
00:15:27it is...
00:15:27it is your right.
00:15:29I am aware
00:15:30of what the law allows me.
00:15:32But that isn't the measure
00:15:33I intend to follow.
00:15:37Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:40Does he not want me?
00:15:54Does he not want me?
00:16:10Edward.
00:16:19This isn't helpful.
00:16:20This isn't helpful.
00:16:48That's...
00:17:05God, how could I dream something like that about him?
00:17:08I must be out of my mind.
00:17:10My lady, breakfast is ready.
00:17:14Coming!
00:17:30I was unsure of your preferences, so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this. What does he take me for?
00:17:41It would appear that his lordship is determined to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:54I shall do my best to return in time for the gathering at Whitmore this evening.
00:18:07Lady Wyndham, how lovely to find you here.
00:18:13And all on your own.
00:18:16Rupert, you know Lady Wyndham, I believe.
00:18:18Miss Fenwick.
00:18:21My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:23The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:27Good evening, Miss Vane.
00:18:28Mr. Bellamy.
00:18:30Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McEelmas Hall.
00:18:35Dorothea was gracious enough to accept me.
00:18:38Though, I suspect she rather enjoys making me wait.
00:18:41Our union, of course, has been rather more conventional.
00:18:45Years of acquaintance, shared society, a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged so expeditiously.
00:18:58My lady.
00:19:00A message for you.
00:19:07Cannot return to Thornwith before midnight.
00:19:10Enjoy the party.
00:19:16Another entire evening to yourself.
00:19:18One cannot help but wonder, had you known, why bother to attend at all?
00:19:23Lord Wyndham chose to marry me, Dorothea.
00:19:26I've never felt the need to examine his reasons too closely.
00:19:30Come, Rupert.
00:19:31It's been ages since I last danced.
00:19:34You must indulge me this evening.
00:19:52Lady Wyndham, what a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr. Bellman, I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes.
00:19:59I stepped out for some air and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:04Marriage suits you.
00:20:06I believe I should return home.
00:20:07No need to hurry.
00:20:08It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you, as lovely as you,
00:20:16deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband who...
00:20:19That's enough!
00:20:21Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:22I mean it kindly.
00:20:33I mean it kindly.
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndham, you are going the wrong way.
00:20:55Allow me to show you out.
00:21:03Then let me be plain, Mr. Bellamy.
00:21:06Leave these grounds at once.
00:21:10And who exactly is meant to make them?
00:21:21There is no need to be alarmed.
00:21:24I only wish to talk.
00:21:26Then speak from where you stand.
00:21:30My dear.
00:21:35Stop!
00:21:39What do you think you're doing?
00:21:43Dorothea, you must forgive me.
00:21:44I was only trying to remove myself from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:48Lady Wyndham sought me out.
00:21:49Elizabeth!
00:21:50How dare you try and scare my fiancé at a gathering like this?
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect.
00:21:55But I am a man of honour and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:58Good Lord.
00:21:59Did she really try to seduce Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:04I've long suspected she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:08I shall inform Lord Edward at once he'll have you turned out of Thornwood without hesitation.
00:22:12Now, apologize to my fiancé.
00:22:14At once.
00:22:16Miss Vane, you will address me correctly or you will not address me at all.
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:37My Lord, thank God you're here.
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:43We were only trying to...
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:45How much did he hear?
00:22:47Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward.
00:22:56Edward.
00:22:56Edward.
00:22:57Edward.
00:22:57Edward.
00:23:00Edward.
00:23:01Edward.
00:23:01Edward.
00:23:02Edward.
00:23:03My apologies.
00:23:05I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:09Good Lord.
00:23:10Has Lord Widemann really ruined a hundred-year-old young maize?
00:23:14For a wife of such low birth.
00:23:20Let every person here who has dishonoured my wife hear me.
00:23:24Before this night is over, you will regret it.
00:23:27Yes, my Lord.
00:23:28Edward.
00:23:29What?
00:23:29My Lord, I am your cousin.
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this.
00:23:35If you mean to say you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:38I have over 50 others just like you.
00:23:46Grateful girl!
00:23:48What on earth possessed you to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:52You wretched boy!
00:23:54I paid off your gambling seats with the Earl's own money.
00:23:57How dare you make yourself a nuisance before him and his wife!
00:24:03You have endured enough.
00:24:05Home awaits us.
00:24:10Edward, you must know.
00:24:11I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out.
00:24:13I...
00:24:13I know.
00:24:14I know precisely what kind of man he is.
00:24:16I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:18We have been married for a few days now.
00:24:21We have.
00:24:23And I find I know remarkably little about you.
00:24:27I believe goes both ways.
00:24:28Perhaps this presents an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:31We might begin with a kiss.
00:24:35He's asking to kiss me.
00:24:37On horseback.
00:24:38Out in the open, in the middle of the night.
00:24:41God knows how long I've waited for this moment.
00:24:43You have my permission.
00:25:00It's all right.
00:25:02He's settled now.
00:25:10We're home.
00:25:13My lord.
00:25:14My lady.
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:26What does he mean, shortly?
00:25:28Tonight?
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:31I seem to have expected it more than I realised.
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:33Shortly, then.
00:25:49Of course.
00:25:50Of all nights, it would be this one.
00:26:02Come in.
00:26:05There's something I must tell you.
00:26:07It concerns a domestic matter.
00:26:12I see.
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:18Please, God.
00:26:20Let him understand without making me say it outright.
00:26:23Come.
00:26:24Come.
00:26:26Come.
00:26:28Come.
00:26:29Come.
00:26:35No.
00:26:36Not like this.
00:26:38How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better, thank you.
00:26:43Forgive me.
00:26:44Elizabeth.
00:26:45Yes.
00:26:45Stop apologising.
00:26:47Yes, very well.
00:26:52Elizabeth.
00:27:18Elizabeth.
00:27:31he's gone
00:27:32of course he's gone
00:27:34I failed him last night
00:27:37come in
00:28:01there's something wrong
00:28:04no
00:28:05no nothing
00:28:10I wasn't certain
00:28:11of your preference this morning
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm
00:28:15as chocolate
00:28:15if you'd prefer it to tea
00:28:39you have
00:28:43his hand is still warm
00:28:49I thought we might
00:28:50out to Ravenscurred Park
00:28:52before week's end
00:28:54my mother has expressed a wish
00:28:56to receive you
00:28:58yes
00:29:00I should like it that very much
00:29:05I should propose
00:29:07Fridays perhaps
00:29:08for the fulfilment of our marital obligation
00:29:15yes
00:29:17Friday would suit me perfectly well
00:29:20I feel quite confident
00:29:21I shall be
00:29:23equal to my obligations
00:29:24by next Friday
00:29:25my
00:29:27I
00:29:40to
00:29:41I
00:29:41now
00:30:05Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long.
00:30:11Of course.
00:30:25Three.
00:30:52That's Edward's mother.
00:30:54She looks so young to find.
00:30:59Lady Adelaine, forgive the intrusion.
00:31:13Lady Wyndon, I had wondered when we should meet.
00:31:19I am Cecilia.
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly.
00:31:25She asked me to receive you in her place.
00:31:26That's her.
00:31:28Cecilia Marlowe.
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter.
00:31:33The woman Edward wants life forever.
00:31:37Your Grace, the pleasure is mine.
00:31:40Please, none of that.
00:31:41We're practically family now.
00:31:43Adelaine will be back shortly.
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister, is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me, yet she's here.
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would meet with her instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place.
00:32:15So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy.
00:32:19After all these years in London, let's see whether your aim has suffered.
00:32:24I've been waiting here for our guest, as my mother asked.
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana, we call her Georgie.
00:32:29Georgie, this is Elizabeth.
00:32:30Ah, the new Lady Wyndham.
00:32:32And what do you do for amusement?
00:32:34I read, I write.
00:32:35I am sure Lady Wyndham has many other accomplishments, Georgie.
00:32:38Of course she does, most people do when they can't shoot.
00:32:41No offence, Elizabeth, it simply requires a certain constitution.
00:32:45Not everyone has it.
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try, it is only fair to offer.
00:32:50Oh, by all means, bring another gun.
00:32:55A gun for beginners.
00:32:58You know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige.
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing.
00:33:06You can watch if you prefer.
00:33:18Well.
00:33:21You had three.
00:33:22I shall not be greedy.
00:33:36Mother.
00:33:37Where on earth did you find her?
00:33:39She found me.
00:33:41I like her.
00:33:44So do I.
00:33:51Come in.
00:33:57My mother asked me to convey her apologies.
00:34:01She had no intention of neglecting you today.
00:34:03I understand.
00:34:05Georgiana and the Duchess of Ravensbrow made the afternoon quite agree of all.
00:34:11It's Friday.
00:34:12So it is.
00:34:14I must admit, I am not entirely certain how one is meant to begin.
00:34:18Nor am I.
00:34:24I should warn you, there are rather a great many hooks.
00:34:27Twenty-three.
00:34:31I see.
00:34:46I confess I don't quite know what I'm meant to do with my...
00:34:51Elizabeth.
00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything.
00:35:04The desk.
00:35:06I thought you might find it easier.
00:35:08To begin with.
00:35:10I did not realize how warm his hands would feel.
00:35:22Breathe.
00:35:25You are going to suffocate yourself.
00:35:34Are you ready?
00:35:36I...
00:35:40I'll take that as a yes.
00:35:43Let's begin.
00:35:46Let's begin.
00:35:47Let's begin.
00:36:14Let's begin.
00:36:19Let's begin.
00:36:23Let's begin.
00:36:27Let's begin.
00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:32I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:34Elizabeth Wynwen.
00:36:36Nave Fenwork.
00:36:37You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just
00:36:42discovered something rather surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it?
00:36:46Was it Friday?
00:36:49You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details.
00:36:54Was he...
00:36:54He was...
00:36:56Considerate.
00:36:58Extraordinary so.
00:37:00How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:06Before anything else.
00:37:08Several times in fact.
00:37:11Good Lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject.
00:37:14And afterward?
00:37:15In the morning?
00:37:18He said, come back to bed.
00:37:21As though I'd been there all along.
00:37:23Only meant to return.
00:37:26He held my hand.
00:37:30Lizzie.
00:37:32Don't.
00:37:33You like him.
00:37:36I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:45We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left.
00:37:57Wedge something under the wheel first.
00:37:59There's a plank in the ditch.
00:38:02Perhaps we ought to wait for someone to pass by.
00:38:15Lizzie.
00:38:16How can I pass?
00:38:29Same as ever.
00:38:31Still finding trouble on a perfectly straight road.
00:38:34The road found me.
00:38:35I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were.
00:38:40You always were.
00:38:43Edgar Lemmicks.
00:38:44A Viscount's son.
00:38:45The summer I was 14,
00:38:46he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:48Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean.
00:38:52Then he left for Italy.
00:38:56Is that...
00:38:57Edgar?
00:38:58I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:00I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:08I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox.
00:39:10I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me, I had not heard of the marriage.
00:39:16I hope you are well, Lady Wind...
00:39:17I am.
00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Wyndove.
00:39:30Six years without a word.
00:39:32And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not.
00:39:36Lord Wyndare is worth ten of him.
00:39:38You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come.
00:39:42The road is clear now.
00:39:49She was smiling at him, did you see?
00:39:51A married woman smiling at a man like that,
00:39:53out in the open road.
00:39:54She stepped away from him, Georgie.
00:39:56That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward.
00:39:58I shall tell him exactly what I saw,
00:40:00and he will...
00:40:01Do as you think best, my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:17Edward, there's something I must tell you.
00:40:19It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I was riding this morning,
00:40:24along the north road.
00:40:26I saw her, with a man.
00:40:28They were standing awfully close together,
00:40:30and he...
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:32Why, yes, and he...
00:40:33He took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:35And then?
00:40:36She drew back in the end.
00:40:38But she knew him well, Edward.
00:40:40He called her Lizzie.
00:40:41What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox.
00:40:44Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox,
00:40:47the Viscount's son,
00:40:48the one who has been off painting in Italy
00:40:49for the past six years.
00:40:50And you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once...
00:40:53You followed her?
00:40:54No.
00:40:55I just happened to be passing by her.
00:40:56Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm.
00:41:01She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road,
00:41:05with whom she speaks,
00:41:06with whom she spends her time,
00:41:07such matters are of importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady,
00:41:11not some vulgar countrywoman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgiana.
00:41:18Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady.
00:41:24His lordship has inquired as to whether you might be at leisure this afternoon.
00:41:29Did he indicate the purpose of said inquiry?
00:41:31He said he'd like to, and I quote precisely,
00:41:33take you out for a ride.
00:41:35He mentioned the North Meadow.
00:41:38Please convey to his lordship that I shall be ready in twenty minutes.
00:41:41Of course, my lady.
00:41:50Georgiana paid me a visit this morning.
00:41:52I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:04I did.
00:42:06Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:07He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young,
00:42:13and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgment.
00:42:15I thought you should know that I sent her right away.
00:42:18He didn't ask me to ride because he sought to question me.
00:42:22It's because he wished to inform me he sent Georgiana away.
00:42:25He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:32For what?
00:42:32We're married.
00:42:33You need not thank me.
00:42:36Edgar Lennox has spent six years in Italy.
00:42:39He may want to consider spending six more.
00:42:42The further he remains from my wife, the better.
00:42:51I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:04He accused me of following her.
00:43:05He is a loyal man, always has been.
00:43:07And now his loyalty is wasted on the wrong person.
00:43:11Has he any engagements away from Thornwood?
00:43:15He leaves for Dutcher on Thursday.
00:43:19He will surely be thinking of his new bride each moment he's away from her.
00:43:30Edward chose her.
00:43:35Very well.
00:43:36Then let him see the true nature of this choice.
00:43:49She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:17East wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains.
00:44:22And everything Edward window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:36Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:39Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to you.
00:44:55Elizabeth!
00:44:56Elizabeth!
00:45:09My lord!
00:45:10It began in the lower story.
00:45:11Where's Lady Winda?
00:45:12We have not been able to find Lady Winda.
00:45:14But we brought someone out from the east wing.
00:45:17A man.
00:45:20Elizabeth.
00:45:21She's still inside.
00:45:27And just how are you so sure Lady Winda is in there?
00:45:30What were you doing at Thornfield in the middle of the night?
00:45:33Edward, I'm so sorry.
00:45:35I did not wish to be the one...
00:45:36What is that in your hand?
00:45:39Edward, it bears Elizabeth's handwriting.
00:45:42I received a note.
00:45:43I believed it to be...
00:45:44You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:49Edward, you must see that all evidence points to Elizabeth and this man.
00:45:53Elizabeth is still inside.
00:45:55Of course she's inside.
00:45:56That wicked adult is sure to be caged and paraded around the square.
00:46:01Edward!
00:46:06Miss, don't!
00:46:07It's not safe in there!
00:46:09My brother!
00:46:11Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17He ran headfirst into that fire.
00:46:20For her.
00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:30Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:32And you!
00:46:33What are you doing here?
00:46:35You're not stuck in the fire?
00:46:36Why on earth would I venture to the East Wing in the middle of the night?
00:46:40You wretched creature.
00:46:41How did you get so lucky?
00:46:43No matter.
00:46:44Edward just ran to his death.
00:46:45You have no one to rely on me.
00:46:47And as a duchess, it shall be my god-begin right to walk all over you.
00:46:51My lady, his lordship has gone into the fire.
00:46:54You what?
00:46:55Why?
00:46:56Elizabeth!
00:46:58Elizabeth!
00:46:58My brother is still in there!
00:47:00What do we do?
00:47:01He ran in because he thought you were trapped inside.
00:47:03Oh dear, how did this happen?
00:47:05Let go, Georgiana.
00:47:06No!
00:47:14She didn't write that note.
00:47:17She can't have written that note.
00:47:25It was you.
00:47:28Cecilia, is it true?
00:47:31No, I had nothing to do with that letter.
00:47:35He's slandering me.
00:47:38Edward!
00:47:42Elizabeth, go back.
00:47:56Foolish woman.
00:47:57Reckless man.
00:48:07I thought I'd lost you.
00:48:10You're safe.
00:48:11You're safe.
00:48:12You're safe.
00:48:14You're safe.
00:48:16I...
00:48:17I...
00:48:18I was wrong about that.
00:48:25Not every wife would run into a burning building for her husband.
00:48:28Why did you do it?
00:48:29You went in there for me.
00:48:31I couldn't leave you to die.
00:48:33Oh, Elizabeth.
00:48:34Whatever am I going to do with you?
00:48:36You.
00:48:52Get in before the water goes cold.
00:48:57Edward.
00:48:58That note Edgar received, it wasn't written by me.
00:49:01I know.
00:49:02As it happens, I also received a note, signed with Edgar's name.
00:49:06But I did not go to meet him.
00:49:08I'm glad to hear that.
00:49:11That's all?
00:49:14It was Cecilia.
00:49:16She did all of this.
00:49:19Cecilia.
00:49:22She is my mother's goddaughter.
00:49:24She grew up around us.
00:49:26There was a time when certain arrangements were considered by my mother, by Cecilia's family.
00:49:33I knew they were in favor of him.
00:49:35And were you?
00:49:36I've never made any promises to Cecilia.
00:49:39If she had hopes, they were not hopes I invited or confirmed.
00:49:42As for me...
00:49:45I forgot about her entirely on the morning I married you.
00:49:51Edgar Lenniston and I, we grew up together as well.
00:49:55He taught me to make charcoal drawings.
00:49:58That is the whole of it, Edward.
00:49:59There's nothing more.
00:50:00Well then.
00:50:02Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:05Now there are no secrets between us.
00:50:09It's Friday today.
00:50:11Yes, indeed it is.
00:50:12There are about two hours left until dawn.
00:50:15Perhaps you might like to watch the sun rise with me?
00:50:21Yes, I'd like that.
00:50:28May I?
00:50:31Yes, you may.
00:50:40This.
00:50:42This is what home feels to me.
00:50:54My lord, the Dowchage Duchess of Ravensborough has called upon you.
00:50:58I informed her that you are not at leisure, but she still has not taken her leave.
00:51:03Show her in, Henry.
00:51:11Thank you for seeing me, Edward.
00:51:13Say what you have come to say, Cecilia.
00:51:16You know very well why I am here.
00:51:19Georgiana won't see me.
00:51:20Your mother hasn't replied to my last three letters.
00:51:23And you've issued a formal notice.
00:51:25I'm no longer welcome at Thornfield, Girth, nor at any Wyndham property in the county.
00:51:30That's correct.
00:51:32Edward, please.
00:51:33Edward, please.
00:51:33We've known each other since we were little.
00:51:35You carried me home on your back when I broke my ankle at the Thornfield harvest.
00:51:39Yes, I recall.
00:51:40I also recall that during that same autumn, you told me that you intended to marry someone wealthier than a
00:51:45mere earl.
00:51:47Such was my obligation, Edward.
00:51:49You know my family's circumstances.
00:51:51You know I had no choice.
00:51:52And you, you waited too, Edward.
00:51:55All these years.
00:51:57A Thornfield without a mistress, without a bride-to-be.
00:52:00Do not be misled into thinking I was waiting for you.
00:52:03That's not...
00:52:04Don't say that, Edward.
00:52:05You know that's not what I...
00:52:06You've been a widow for eight months.
00:52:08And in those eight months, you've come to Shropshire, established yourself at Ravenscore,
00:52:11cultivate my sister's trust, and forge a letter designed to do nothing less than destroy my wife's reputation.
00:52:18I did what I believed in.
00:52:19I wasn't finished, Vasilia.
00:52:21You also set fire to the east wing of my home.
00:52:24You should be grateful that my wife was not there last night.
00:52:27Otherwise, you would not be standing in my study, but rather in my dungeon.
00:52:31She's not right for you, Edward.
00:52:33Whatever you feel now, it will pass.
00:52:35This afternoon, you will return to your home in London.
00:52:38And you will not come back.
00:52:40No.
00:52:40You can't treat me this way.
00:52:42I'm the Dowage Gunchess of Ravensheil.
00:52:45Do not forget that I am not just the Earl of Wyndham.
00:52:49I am also the Prince Regent's companion.
00:52:52Do you wish what you have done to become known through all of London?
00:52:55I suggest you preserve what's left of your dignity, Sushi.
00:52:59Do you love her?
00:53:00Yes.
00:53:01I do.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:15Now it's time to deal with the next one.
00:53:26She came back for him.
00:53:29And now it's all gone up in flames.
00:53:47May I come in?
00:53:49Please.
00:53:50I didn't know if Cecilia would attempt to harm you.
00:53:52I know.
00:53:53I'm sorry.
00:53:54I owe you an apology, Elizabeth.
00:53:57Several, in fact.
00:53:57I forgive you.
00:54:00So, do you reckon we could be friends from now on?
00:54:02Of course.
00:54:07Georgiana.
00:54:10I know you love your brother.
00:54:13And I do too.
00:54:22In all the years I've known him,
00:54:25he's never been serious about anyone the way he is about you.
00:54:28I know.
00:54:29By the way,
00:54:31you shoot better than I do.
00:54:33You're not a bad shot yourself.
00:54:44I'm leaving to London as a painter summoned by the King.
00:54:48Yes.
00:54:49I had heard rumours of such an arrangement.
00:54:51The night of the fire,
00:54:53I saw him run into the flames to look for you.
00:54:57Without hesitation.
00:54:59That was the moment I knew had lost you.
00:55:01May London be everything you deserve, Edgar.
00:55:04Edgar.
00:55:04I hope you paint something magnificent.
00:55:10Give my regards to Lord Wyndham.
00:55:23Edgar.
00:55:25He's gone.
00:55:27I know.
00:55:29The King offered him a very generous commission.
00:55:31If he is a talented man,
00:55:33it would have been a waste.
00:55:35Edward.
00:55:36Yes?
00:55:41I feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
00:55:45I'll take that as a compliment.
00:55:47Come.
00:55:49My Lord.
00:55:56Elizabeth!
00:55:58Elizabeth!
00:56:01Elizabeth.
00:56:02Elizabeth.
00:56:04Elizabeth.
00:56:11Elizabeth!
00:56:13Elizabeth!
00:56:15Elizabeth!
00:56:22The fall did her no lasting harm, my Lord.
00:56:26However, I've noticed that Lady Winford is showing signs of fatigue.
00:56:36Pardon me?
00:56:37Congratulations, my Lord.
00:56:41Yes.
00:56:43Thank you, Dr. Holt.
00:57:02So, we're going to have a child.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:11Yes.
00:57:11Yes, we are.
00:57:12This is beyond my wildest dreams, Elizabeth.
00:57:18I'm sure you will want to tell your mother.
00:57:25I shall have the carriage prepared for Thursday.
00:57:27Vale will accompany you.
00:57:29And take a warm blanket.
00:57:31The mornings are cold now.
00:57:32I know I needn't thank the man I married, but I'd like to thank you on behalf of my mother,
00:57:38Edward.
00:57:40Well, I'm sorry.
00:57:42Sorry.
00:57:54Do anything wrong.
00:57:55I've slept with your mother.
00:57:57I'm tired.
00:57:57I'm glad with you.
00:57:57Bye, Buddy.
00:57:57Are you yet to come on?
00:57:57I'll leave my life.
00:57:57Oh, yeah.
00:57:58No.
00:57:58Oh.
00:57:59Oh, yeah.
00:58:00Oh, yeah.
00:58:00Oh, yeah.
00:58:10I don't know.
00:58:51Mother!
00:58:58Ah, Elizabeth.
00:59:01To what do we owe the pleasure?
00:59:05Come with me, Mother.
00:59:07Now.
00:59:10This is my house.
00:59:12She doesn't leave without my permission.
00:59:17Are you challenging the Countess of Wyndham, Sir Reginald?
00:59:29I'm pregnant.
00:59:32You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:40Mother.
00:59:42I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:46He'll come chase him after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:52Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
01:00:09Margaret!
01:00:14Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:25Elizabeth!
01:00:40He's coming after us.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham, what an honour. Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well. Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:01:01She's my wife, Lord Wyndham. By law, she's required to...
01:01:04By law, yes. Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:17Come in.
01:01:24My lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my lord. You have no right to...
01:01:32The Fenwood Estate carries debts to four creditors in this county.
01:01:36Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:39To me, the roof you sleep under, the fields you work on, the horses in your stable...
01:01:45The papers holding your whole world together are sitting in my solicitor's office in Shroudsborough.
01:01:50My lord, I have always treated my family with the utmost...
01:01:55I have seen perfectly clearly how you treat your family.
01:01:59Lady Margaret's personal income will be administered through my estate, to be used as she pleases.
01:02:05If I receive word from any source that you have interfered with this agreement, you will lose your house, your
01:02:09land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:18My wife sends her regards.
01:02:32He'll take me away, I know it.
01:02:35Oh, lord, that man will never let me leave him.
01:02:38No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:42I saw them in the study this morning.
01:02:45As did I.
01:02:48Elizabeth.
01:02:50Is he...
01:02:51Is he a good man, your lord?
01:02:54No.
01:03:03He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:20He's the best man I've ever met, mother.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:38Four months, perhaps.
01:03:43I don't wish to go.
01:03:45I know.
01:03:46I know you don't.
01:03:49Elizabeth, I...
01:03:51It's Friday, you know.
01:03:54I don't wish to go.
01:03:59I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:03Don't be too gentle.
01:04:18Promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:39My lord, it is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a
01:04:46set of piano keys.
01:04:47Dr. Holt says the baby is healthy, and that it shouldn't be much longer now.
01:04:52Come home soon, Edward.
01:04:53We both eagerly await your return.
01:05:03A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:06In his lordship's own hand.
01:05:11Elizabeth, your letter from the 8th arrived my morning.
01:05:15I have read it four times, front to back.
01:05:18Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:21I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:26Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:32My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:36They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverd, we are here to deliver a summons from his royal highness, the prince regent.
01:05:50Your presence is urgently required in London, and the matter is one of considerable importance.
01:05:58May I have the night to prepare?
01:06:00I'm afraid we cannot afford any delay, my lady.
01:06:03The carriage is prepared.
01:06:07Very well.
01:06:09Allow me five minutes to gather my things.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:24I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the prince regent.
01:06:34Lady extensive commander is serious.
01:06:43And they keep seeing the keys.
01:06:44That sound...
01:06:46This isn't the road to London.
01:06:48It's the cliff road.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop this carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:06:57Day 2
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:37Edward!
01:07:38Take my hand!
01:07:49Edward!
01:07:50Yes? What is it?
01:07:52I think... I think the child is coming.
01:07:58I think...
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:40Your first child?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:43I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons. Who was it?
01:08:46A widow has recently returned from London. She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Gretnes.
01:08:55Yes, your highness.
01:08:56I assure you that this matter will be investigated fully. She will bring no more trouble your household.
01:09:02Thank you, your highness.
01:09:04And for this, for allowing us in. Don't thank me for that. Thank my wife.
01:09:08She heard the commotion at the gate and gave the order before I could even open my mouth.
01:09:12She sounds like a formidable woman.
01:09:16That's one way to put it.
01:09:17That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord, Lady Windery is well. You have a son.
01:09:40He has your eyes.
01:09:45Why are they there?
01:09:56Her royal highness, the princess regent.
01:10:07Jane.
01:10:21How does a woman who ran away from her own wedding become princess regent?
01:10:28It all started with a marsh.
01:10:30I beg your pardon?
01:10:31On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:34Cut across the north field.
01:10:36I did not know there was a marsh.
01:10:40Before I knew it, I was up to my waist.
01:10:42And then?
01:10:43There was a great deal of noise coming from the trees.
01:10:46Dogs, a horse, and a man who looked rather displeased to find a woman wading about in his marsh.
01:10:51He pulled me out himself.
01:10:53Gave me his coat before asking my name.
01:10:55He was unexpectedly decent.
01:10:57And then you told him your name, I presume?
01:10:59Yes, then I told him my name.
01:11:01And he told me his.
01:11:03And neither of us went home for a very long time.
01:11:06Are you happy, Jane?
01:11:13Are you?
01:11:15More than I had ever thought was possible.
01:11:24The prince regent will present honours tonight.
01:11:26Did any of you receive warning of this?
01:11:28None at all.
01:11:29Which means he wants it to be a surprise.
01:11:31But who shall it be?
01:11:32Cavendish?
01:11:33Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:36Apparently, the honour is to be a stowed upon a couple.
01:11:41A husband.
01:11:42And wife.
01:11:44Good heavens!
01:11:46A joint honour!
01:11:47And what title shall be awarded to them?
01:11:50Are you nervous?
01:11:52I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
01:11:55Do you remember when we first met?
01:11:59Yes.
01:12:00When those doors opened, you were the spitting image of a well-behaved young lady.
01:12:03And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:07Well, things are different now.
01:12:09This time, when these doors open, I'll be standing right beside you.
01:12:13Shall we?
01:12:19Is that Lady Wyndham?
01:12:22How could Lord Wyndham have...
01:12:24You look magnificent.
01:12:27I know.
01:12:28And I feel magnificent.
01:12:32With the honour of the crowd, and in recognition of their remarkable courage and loyalty,
01:12:37I hereby elevate Lord Edward Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
01:12:42to the rank of Marcus and Martians of Thornfield.
