00:00:56Jane.
00:00:59Jane, do you know that if you run away from your wedding with the Earl of Winding,
00:01:02the Fenwick family will be ruined completely?
00:01:16The Fenwicks were once a distinguished family, before Sir Reginald ruined it.
00:01:20Indeed. If 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.

00:11:34am the countess of wyndham
00:11:36I command you to stop.
00:11:38You have no idea what it means to offend the Countess of Wendell.
00:11:50My lord, this is... I can explain.
00:11:55Please do not.
00:11:59You may turn around now.
00:12:07My lord, this is entirely unnecessary. I assure you, I am quite capable of...
00:12:12You are barefoot on flint. Kindly be still.
00:12:22My lord.
00:12:24I'm here.
00:12:26I still owe you an explanation. Are you willing to hear it now?
00:12:32As you can see, I'm not otherwise occupied.
00:12:37I took my sister's place and married you that day because...
00:12:41Because I wanted my mother to stop being beaten.
00:12:44I see.
00:12:48You didn't need to do any of this.
00:12:51The moment you said I do at that altar, you fulfilled the agreement.
00:12:54You owe me nothing more.
00:12:56So this is all just an agreement to you? Nothing more?
00:13:00Is it not?
00:13:01I don't make a habit of saying things I don't mean.
00:13:07That's the first time he 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.
00:13:15You hold all the rights of the Countess of Thornworth,
00:13:17including the right to 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.
00:13:46May I ask you a question?
00:13:48Please do.
00:13:49Is there someone else you care for?
00:13:52In London, perhaps?
00:13:58Are you angry with me for leaving right after the wedding?
00:14:01Not in the least.
00:14:02I only mean to say...
00:14:03I've no objection to any other attachments you may have.
00:14:06This marriage serves both our families.
00:14:09I have no wish to be a petty, jealous Countess.
00:14:11And if I were to tell you there is no such person,
00:14:14would you believe me?
00:14:18I... yes.
00:14:19I believe I would.
00:14:32Elizabeth, you are the only Lady Wendorf.
00:14:34I should like...
00:14:36if you're willing...
00:14:38to have a true marriage.
00:14:40In every sense.
00:14:45Is he asking me to bear an heir for 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, it would be entirely reasonable for you to...
00:15:16Elizabeth.
00:15:21I will not require anything of you tonight.
00:15:23I beg your pardon.
00:15:25You heard me.
00:15:27But...
00:15:27it is...
00:15:28it is your right.
00:15:29I am aware of what the law allows me.
00:15:32But that isn't the measure I intend to follow.
00:15:37Good night, Elizabeth.
00:15:38I don't want you to be with you.
00:15:40I don't want you to be with you.
00:15:43I don't want you to be with you.
00:15:50I don't want you to be with you.
00:15:54I don't want you to be with you.
00:15:58I don't want you to be with you.
00:16:00I don't want you to be with you.
00:16:10Edward
00:16:18This isn't helpful
00:16:45oh
00:16:46oh
00:16:47oh
00:16:47oh
00:16:48oh
00:16:49that's a
00:16:49oh
00:16:50oh
00:16:51oh
00:16:56oh
00:16:57oh
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.
00:17:15Coming!
00:17:29I was unsure of your preferences,
00:17:32so I asked the cook to prepare a variety.
00:17:38He arranged all of this.
00:17:40What does he take me for?
00:17:41It would appear that his lordship is determined
00:17:43to keep you abundantly supplied.
00:17:55I shall do my best to return in time
00:17:57for 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 Wynda, I believe.
00:18:19Miss Fenwick.
00:18:22My apologies, Lady Winford.
00:18:24The title still takes one by surprise, I must admit.
00:18:27Good evening, Miss Vane.
00:18:29Mr. Bellamy.
00:18:30Rupert and I have some happy news.
00:18:32We're to be formally engaged at the McKeelmas 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,
00:18:48a genuine understanding of one another's character.
00:18:51How refreshing that some marriages may still be arranged
00:18:54so 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,
00:19:20had you known,
00:19:22why 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.
00:19:53What a fortunate coincidence.
00:19:55Mr. Bellman.
00:19:56I assume your fiancé is inside.
00:19:58Ah, yes.
00:19:59I stepped out for some air
00:20:00and seemed to have lost my way.
00:20:03You look very well, Lady Winford.
00:20:05Marriage suits you.
00:20:06I believe I should return home.
00:20:08No need to hurry.
00:20:09It's a fine night.
00:20:09That's enough, Mr. Bellman.
00:20:11Come now, Elizabeth.
00:20:12A woman as young as you,
00:20:14as lovely as you,
00:20:17deserves far more than a cold bed and a husband.
00:20:19That's enough, Mr. Bellamy.
00:20:22I mean it kindly.
00:20:34Good heavens, how did I end up here?
00:20:37My lady, I'm coming.
00:20:51Lady Wyndham.
00:20:53You 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 me?
00:21:22There 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.
00:21:45I was only trying to remove myself
00:21:46from a most uncomfortable situation.
00:21:48Lady Wyndham had sought me out.
00:21:49Elizabeth!
00:21:50How dare you try and scare my fiancé
00:21:52at a gathering like this?
00:21:53That is not...
00:21:54I mean no disrespect,
00:21:55but I am a man of honour
00:21:56and I think it best to be plain.
00:21:58Good Lord.
00:21:59Did she really try to seduce
00:22:02Lady Dorothea's fiancé?
00:22:04I've long suspected
00:22:05she wasn't quite respectable.
00:22:08I shall inform Lord Edward at once
00:22:10he'll have you turned out of Thornwood
00:22:11without hesitation.
00:22:12Now,
00:22:13apologise to my fiancé.
00:22:14At once.
00:22:16Miss Vane,
00:22:17you will address me correctly
00:22:18or you will not address me at all.
00:22:20You are not worth the courtesy.
00:22:38My lord,
00:22:39thank god you're here.
00:22:40Lady Winford approached Rupert herself.
00:22:43We were only trying to...
00:22:44When did he arrive?
00:22:46How much did he hear?
00:22:47Does he believe them?
00:22:48Are you hurt?
00:22:54Edward.
00:23:03My apologies.
00:23:05I seem to have arrived a moment too late.
00:23:09Good lord.
00:23:10Has Lord Weidemann really ruined
00:23:12a hundred-year-old Yen Mays?
00:23:14For a wife of such low birth.
00:23:20Let every person here
00:23:21who has dishonoured my wife hear me.
00:23:24Before this night is over,
00:23:26you will regret it.
00:23:27Yes, my lord!
00:23:28Edward!
00:23:30My lord!
00:23:31I am your cousin!
00:23:32You cannot treat me like this!
00:23:34If you mean to say
00:23:36you're my mother's cousin's granddaughter,
00:23:38I've over fifty others just like you.
00:23:46Grateful girl!
00:23:48What on earth possessed you
00:23:50to insult the Countess of Wyndham?
00:23:52You wretched boy!
00:23:54I paid off your gambling seats
00:23:56with the Earl's own money!
00:23:57How dare you make yourself
00:23:58a nuisance before him
00:24:00and his wife!
00:24:03You have endured enough.
00:24:06Home awaits us.
00:24:10Edward, you must know.
00:24:12I did not seek Mr. Bellarmine out.
00:24:14I...
00:24:14I know.
00:24:14I know precisely
00:24:15what kind of man he is.
00:24:17I believe you, Elizabeth.
00:24:19We have been married
00:24:20for a few days now.
00:24:22We have.
00:24:23And I find I know
00:24:25remarkably little about you.
00:24:26I believe goes both ways.
00:24:28Perhaps this presents
00:24:29an opportunity to remedy that.
00:24:31We might begin
00:24:33with a kiss.
00:24:35He's asking me to kiss me.
00:24:37On horseback.
00:24:38Out in the open
00:24:39in the middle of the night.
00:24:41God knows how long
00:24:41I've waited for this moment.
00:24:44You have my permission.
00:24:55You have my permission.
00:25:01It's all right.
00:25:03He's settled now.
00:25:10We're home.
00:25:14My lord.
00:25:15My lady.
00:25:22I'll see you shortly, Elizabeth.
00:25:25Shortly?
00:25:27What does he mean,
00:25:28shortly?
00:25:28Tonight?
00:25:29I thought I had rather expected.
00:25:31I seem to have expected it
00:25:32more than I realised.
00:25:33Yes.
00:25:34Shortly then.
00:25:49Of course.
00:25:51Of all nights,
00:25:52it would be this one.
00:26:02Come in.
00:26:05There's something
00:26:06I must tell you.
00:26:07It concerns a
00:26:08domestic matter.
00:26:12I see.
00:26:16Does he?
00:26:17Does he truly?
00:26:19Please, God.
00:26:20Let him understand
00:26:21without making me say it outright.
00:26:23Come.
00:26:25Come.
00:26:35No.
00:26:36Not like this.
00:26:39How are you feeling?
00:26:41Rather better, thank you.
00:26:43Forgive me.
00:26:44Elizabeth.
00:26:45Yes?
00:26:46Stop apologising.
00:26:47Yes, very well.
00:26:52Elizabeth.
00:27:19Elizabeth.
00:27:31he's gone
00:27:32of course he's gone
00:27:34I failed him last night
00:27:37come in
00:28:02is something wrong
00:28:05no
00:28:05no nothing
00:28:10I wasn't certain
00:28:12of your preference this morning
00:28:13Mrs. Hilda suggested something warm
00:28:15as chocolate
00:28:16if you'd prefer it to tea
00:28:39you have
00:28:44his hand is so warm
00:28:50I thought we might out
00:28:51to Ravenscurred Park
00:28:52before week's end
00:28:54my mother has expressed
00:28:56a wish to receive you
00:28:59yes
00:29:00I should like it that very much
00:29:05I should propose
00:29:08Fridays perhaps
00:29:09for the fulfillment
00:29:10of our marital obligation
00:29:16yes
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
00:29:25by next Friday
00:29:25and
00:29:33and
00:29:35I
00:29:35I
00:29:36I
00:29:37I
00:29:39I
00:29:39I
00:29:39I
00:29:43I
00:29:45I
00:30:06Go on, Vale will see you in, I shall be long
00:30:12Of course
00:30:37Three
00:30:38Three
00:30:39Three
00:30:52That's Edward's mother
00:30:54She looks so young to find
00:31:00Lady Adelaine
00:31:01Forgive the intrusion
00:31:03I am
00:31:13Lady Wyndon
00:31:16I had wondered when we should meet
00:31:18I am Cecilia
00:31:21Lady Adelaine was called away unexpectedly
00:31:24She asked me to receive you in her place
00:31:26That's her
00:31:28Cecilia Marlok
00:31:30Lady Adelaine's goddaughter
00:31:32The woman Edward Grace loved
00:31:37Your grace
00:31:38The pleasure is mine
00:31:40Please, none of that
00:31:41We're practically family now
00:31:42Adelaine will be back shortly
00:31:44In the meantime, Georgina, Edward's younger sister
00:31:47Is in the South Garden, shall we?
00:31:48Lady Adelaide summoned me
00:31:49Yet she's here
00:31:50Was she hoping Edward would need to hear instead?
00:31:59She carries herself as if she owns the place
00:32:16So you've finally emerged from your greenhouse, sissy
00:32:19After all these years in London
00:32:21Let's see whether your aim has suffered
00:32:24I've been waiting here for our guest
00:32:26As my mother asked
00:32:26Elizabeth, this is Georgiana
00:32:28We 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
00:32:39Of course she does
00:32:39Most people do when they can't shoot
00:32:41No offence, Elizabeth
00:32:42It simply requires a certain constitution
00:32:45Not everyone has it
00:32:47Perhaps Lady Wyndham would care to try
00:32:49It is only fair to offer
00:32:50Oh, by all means
00:32:51Bring another gun
00:32:55A gun for beginners
00:32:58Do you know your way around guns?
00:33:01Elizabeth, you needn't oblige
00:33:04Georgie is only teasing
00:33:05You can watch if you prefer
00:33:18Well
00:33:21You had three
00:33:22I should 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
00:33:45So 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
00:34:13I must admit
00:34:16I 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
00:34:49What
00:34:50I meant to do with my
00:34:52Elizabeth
00:34:54You are not supposed to do anything
00:35:05The 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
00:35:41I'll take that as a yes
00:35:45Let's begin
00:35:46Let's begin
00:35:46Let's go
00:36:02Let's go
00:36:02Let's go
00:36:03Fuck
00:36:28All right.
00:36:29You absolutely must tell me everything.
00:36:33I've no idea what you mean.
00:36:35Elizabeth Winwyn, née Fenwork.
00:36:38You arrived at my door this morning wearing the very expression of a woman who has just discovered something rather
00:36:43surprising about the world.
00:36:45Was it? Was it Friday?
00:36:50You are incredible.
00:36:51I am your oldest friend and I deserve details. Was he-
00:36:54He was... considerate. Extraordinary so.
00:37:01How?
00:37:01He made quite certain that I was comfortable.
00:37:05Before anything else. Several times in fact.
00:37:11Good lord.
00:37:12That is all I shall say on the subject. And afterward? In the morning?
00:37:19He said come back to bed. As though I'd been there all along. Only meant to return. He held my
00:37:27hand.
00:37:30Lizzie.
00:37:33Don't.
00:37:34You like him.
00:37:37I am beginning to think I might.
00:37:45We're stuck in the mud.
00:37:55We'll need to push from the left. Wedge 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 you pass it?
00:38:19How can you pass it?
00:38:21How can you pass it?
00:38:23How can you pass it?
00:38:33What road?
00:38:34The road found me. I was perfectly innocent.
00:38:38Of course you were. You always were.
00:38:43Edgar Lemmicks. A distant son. The summer I was 14 he taught me to sketch on the crumbling mill wall.
00:38:49Charcoal everywhere.
00:38:50My mother spent three days scrubbing my dress clean. Then he left for Italy.
00:38:56Is that Edgar? I thought he was still in Italy.
00:39:09I am Lady Winford now, Mr. Lennox. I trust you will do me the kindness of remembering it.
00:39:13Forgive me. I had not heard of the marriage. I hope you are well, Lady Wind.
00:39:17I am. Thank you.
00:39:20Give my regards to Lord Windare.
00:39:31Six years without a word. And now he returns at just this moment.
00:39:34He didn't know, Harriet.
00:39:35Perhaps not. Lord Windare is worth ten of him. You know that, don't you?
00:39:41Come on. The 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 out in the open road.
00:39:55She stepped away from him, Georgie. That much was plain enough.
00:39:57I shall tell Edward. I shall tell him exactly what I saw. And he will do as you think best,
00:40:02my dear.
00:40:04You know your brother better than I do.
00:40:18Edward, there's something I must tell you. It concerns your wife.
00:40:21Good morning to you too, Georgina.
00:40:23I was riding this morning, along the north road. I saw her. With a man. They were standing awfully close
00:40:30together and he-
00:40:30Close together, you say?
00:40:32Why yes, and he- he took hold of her sleeve.
00:40:36And then?
00:40:37She drew back in the end. But she knew him well, Edward. He called her Lizzy.
00:40:42What was the man's name?
00:40:43Lennox. Edgar Lennox.
00:40:45I've heard of this Edgar Lennox, the Viscount's son, and the one who has been off painting in Italy for
00:40:50the past six years.
00:40:51And you must also know that he and Elizabeth were once-
00:40:53You followed her?
00:40:54No. I just happened to be passing by.
00:40:57Georgiana.
00:41:00Elizabeth is Lady Windworm. She is the mistress of this house.
00:41:03Whom she encounters on the road, with whom she speaks, with whom she spends her time, such matters are of
00:41:08importance to her and her alone.
00:41:09You should have married a true lady, not some vulgar country woman.
00:41:13Go home, Georgiana.
00:41:19Edgar Lennox.
00:41:23My lady.
00:41:25His 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, take 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.
00:41:53I imagine she did not call upon you to converse about the weather.
00:41:56You encountered Edgar Lennox on the North Road this morning.
00:42:05I did.
00:42:06Our carriage came to grief in the mud.
00:42:08He assisted with freeing the wheel.
00:42:12Georgiana is young and her emotions have been known to obscure her judgement.
00:42:16I 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.
00:42:26He's telling me he stands on my side.
00:42:30Thank you, Edward.
00:42:31For what?
00:42:33We're married.
00:42:34You 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.
00:42:52I cannot believe this.
00:42:53He sent me away.
00:42:58Tell me what happened.
00:43:04He accused me of following her.
00:43:06He 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.
00:43:50She still harbors feelings for me.
00:44:18East Wing, old timber frames.
00:44:20It's three stories of curtains and correspondence.
00:44:24And everything Edward Window has ever cared to preserve.
00:44:27And now a single oil lamp shall make it all disappear.
00:44:37Lady Winfield and her lover.
00:44:40Once Edward lays eyes on their charred bodies, he will surely return to you.
00:44:54Elizabeth!
00:44:57Elizabeth!
00:45:09My lord!
00:45:10It began in the lower store in...
00:45:12Where'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.
00:45:18A 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?
00:45:34Edward, 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.
00:45:44You believed it to be from my wife.
00:45:49Edward!
00:45:50You 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!
00:46:02Edward!
00:46:06Miss, don't!
00:46:07It's not safe in there!
00:46:10My brother!
00:46:11Henry, you must save my brother!
00:46:13Miss, I'm sorry!
00:46:17He ran head first into that fire.
00:46:20For her.
00:46:29Henry, how did the fire start?
00:46:31Why are all of you just standing here?
00:46:32and you what are you doing here why on earth would i venture to the east wing in the middle

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.
00:59:31You're pregnant.
00:59:34Oh, God bless you, my child.
00:59:39Mother.
00:59:43I want to take you to Thornwood.
00:59:47He'll come chasing after us.
00:59:48You know how he gets when he's angry.
00:59:53Then we sneak out when he's not looking.
00:59:54I want to take you to Thornwood.
01:00:10Margaret!
01:00:15Keep moving.
01:00:16Don't look back.
01:00:20Elizabeth!
01:00:26It's Edward!
01:00:40It's Edward!
01:00:44Let him come.
01:00:50Lord Wyndham.
01:00:52What an honor.
01:00:53Though I must tell you, this is a family matter.
01:00:56It is for me as well.
01:00:58Lady Margaret leaves with us tonight, and you shall not follow her.
01:01:01She's my wife, Lord Wyndham.
01:01:03By law, she's required to...
01:01:05By law, yes.
01:01:08Shall we discuss law, Sir Reginald?
01:01:18Come in.
01:01:25My Lord, I have come to take my wife home.
01:01:30These are private accounts, my Lord.
01:01:32You have no right to...
01:01:33The Fenwood estate carries debts to four creditors in this council.
01:01:37Two of those creditors sold their notes last month.
01:01:40To 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 Shrowsborough.
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,
01:02:08you will lose your house, your land, and whatever is left of your name in this county.
01:02:19My 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.
01:02:37No.
01:02:40Edward will handle everything.
01:02:43I 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?
01:03:03He's the best man I've ever met, Mother.
01:03:05Mother.
01:03:16Now let me tell you, babe, it's working.
01:03:22Mother.
01:03:25Brothers.
01:03:25Brothers.
01:03:27Brothers.
01:03:29Brothers.
01:03:31Brothers.
01:03:31What are you?
01:03:33Brothers.
01:03:37How long will you be gone for?
01:03:39Four months, perhaps.
01:03:44I don't wish to go.
01:03:46I know.
01:03:47I know you don't.
01:03:49Elizabeth, I...
01:03:51It's Friday, you know.
01:04:00I'll be gentle.
01:04:01So will I.
01:04:04Don't be too gentle.
01:04:17I promise you'll write me.
01:04:21Every day.
01:04:38My Lord.
01:04:41It is the 14th of March, and your child has spent this morning using my ribs as a set of
01:04:46piano 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.
01:04:53Edward, we both eagerly await your return.
01:05:04A letter from London, my lady.
01:05:07In 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.
01:05:19Today I write to tell you I am coming home.
01:05:22I find I have a great deal to tell our child, and even more to tell you.
01:05:27Did you hear that, Edward?
01:05:29Our baby's ready to meet you.
01:05:33My lady, there are two gentlemen at the door.
01:05:35Officers, I believe.
01:05:37They are carrying a sealed summon.
01:05:46Lady Winverde, 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 hands.
01:06:21My lady, the seal on this carriage.
01:06:25I need time to verify it.
01:06:29Lady Wyndham, I'm sure you don't want to anger the Prince Regent.
01:06:33I need time to Report on her.
01:06:36Please, I need time to cookie Burger King.
01:06:44That sound.
01:06:46This isn't the way to London.
01:06:48The Clifford.
01:06:52Stop this carriage!
01:06:54Stop the carriage!
01:06:55Immediately!
01:06:57Immediately!
01:07:10Elizabeth!
01:07:27Elizabeth!
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.
01:07:57No!
01:08:13My lord, this lodge is currently occupied by his royal highness.
01:08:17Move.
01:08:41Your first child?
01:08:42Yes.
01:08:43I have been informed about the incident on the cliff road, the carriage, the summons. Who was it?
01:08:46A widow, recently returned from London.
01:08:49She forged the seal.
01:08:51She also set fire to the east ring of my home in October.
01:08:54The Dowager Gretnes?
01:08:56Yes, your highness.
01:08:57I 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.
01:09:06Don'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.
01:09:17That's one way to put it.
01:09:25My lord.
01:09:27Lady Windry is well.
01:09:29You have a son.
01:09:41He has your eyes.
01:09:46Why am I there?
01:09:48Why am I there?
01:09:57Her Royal Highness, the Princess Regent.
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?
01:10:32On that day, I fled the carriage.
01:10:35Cut across the north field.
01:10:37I 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?
01:11:33Cavendish?
01:11:34Ashmore?
01:11:34I heard it's not even a man.
01:11:37Apparently, 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?
01:11:51Are 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.
01:12:04And you looked like an unbearably serious old man who had never known true happiness.
01:12:08Well, 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, I hereby elevate Lord Edward
01:12:40Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Wyndham to the rank of Marcus and Martians of Thornfield.
01:13:01And a
