01:03Ugly, ugly. That's what weeping does for you so no more tears.
01:08It's over.
01:11Lydia Ivanovna she will make sure of that. She and Alexei.
01:16Between them they'll teach my son to hate me.
01:21Come in.
01:25Baby's dressed ma'am. You take her now.
01:30Oh!
01:33Nurse Pepper?
01:34Yes ma'am?
01:35Is everything satisfactory?
01:37Have you settled in?
01:40As well as it can be ma'am.
01:42In a foreign land you're not used to.
01:44Yes yes of course.
01:45But you'll soon get the way of it.
01:48How are things between you and Sasha? Is language a difficulty?
01:51Not really.
01:53Of course she hasn't a word of English.
01:55And although I picked up quite a bit of Russian in my last place.
01:59Oh yes yes of course with um Princess Galensky in London.
02:04Does that not help?
02:05It doesn't seem much good without Sasha.
02:08But there she's a sort of peasant isn't she ma'am?
02:11More like a cow really than a civilized woman.
02:17However as long as she does things my way and keeps herself clean we'll get along very well.
02:23Yes yes of course.
02:25You'll let me know if you need anything?
02:26Yes ma'am.
02:35Oh we have got a dragon haven't we?
02:39English drill sergeant.
02:41She'll keep us in order. She'll tell us what to do.
02:45Oh you are beautiful.
02:48I do love you.
02:52It's just you see.
02:54It's Seriozha.
02:56I'll never see him again. Never.
03:00But perhaps for him that would be best.
03:03So I must think of that.
03:05Not of myself.
03:08And you'll help me.
03:09Won't you?
03:15You're beautiful.
03:20I'll never see him again.
03:21Okay.
03:21So I'm very safe.
03:51You know, I always give ready-made dresses to my maids.
03:55For Christmas, I mean, and at Easter.
03:59You see, Agafia?
04:01The jam's setting perfectly well without any water.
04:03We use water, always hand.
04:06Well, it's much better to do.
04:10No, Kitty, you'll forget your condition.
04:13That wouldn't be easy.
04:17I'll do it.
04:27Mmm, how the children will lick this up with their tea.
04:31You know, Agafia, when we were young we couldn't believe the grown-ups despised the scum.
04:35We thought it was the best bit of the jam.
04:38When it begins to set, it's ready.
04:41Just boil it up a little longer, Agafia.
04:45Drap these flies!
04:47Whatever I do, it won't make any difference.
04:55Be careful, dear.
04:57Not too close to the heat.
04:59Well, too long already, if you ask me.
05:02Oh, it'll keep all the better.
05:04You know that your ice has begun to thaw very early.
05:07Mama?
05:09Kitty's badly in need of a really cool storeroom.
05:12We must speak to Tosco.
05:23Oh, it smells delicious.
05:25And I'll tell you something.
05:27Mama says your pickling is so good she never tasted better.
05:31You needn't try to console me, ma'am.
05:34Ah, here's the master.
05:37No, ma'am.
05:38Just a look at you and him together.
05:40That makes me happy.
05:45Please take my advice and cover the jam with paper soaked in rum.
05:49That'll keep perfectly well, even without ice.
05:51Oh, this heat.
05:53Cost is too energetic for me.
05:55We've walked all over the home farm looking at wagons.
05:59Very good.
05:59Kitty.
06:00Kitty, my love, how do you feel?
06:02Very well.
06:04My dear mama insists on treating me like an invalid.
06:08How did you get on?
06:09I'm very pleased.
06:10The new wagons sold three times as much as the old cars.
06:12Good.
06:13Well, it's very peaceful.
06:15Where are all the children?
06:16Out in the woods with Miss Poole and Rossina.
06:19Let's take them for a bath after tea.
06:20Donnie approves.
06:23How's the jam, McGarf here?
06:25How's the new method suit you?
06:26Better with water.
06:28Keep an eye on it, will you, ma'am, while I fetch out the pots.
06:34She's wonderful, isn't she?
06:39I do believe she accepts me at last.
06:41She dotes on you, and so do I.
06:45By the way, I had a letter today for my sister Anna.
06:52Yes, she's at Voshtryshenskoy.
06:54Splendid estate, I hear, though I haven't been there myself.
06:57Splendid, I'm sure.
06:58It's only a matter of 20 miles from here, Levin, do you know?
07:01No.
07:02Anna's heard that we're all staying with you.
07:04She'd appreciate a visit from any of us that care to go over.
07:07No doubt.
07:08Are you going, Stever?
07:09I can't, I'm afraid.
07:10Not yet, anyway.
07:12You know I have to leave tomorrow.
07:14Ah, yes.
07:14Yes, of course.
07:16I'd...
07:17I'd like to visit your sister, but Kitty mustn't travel.
07:20I should think not indeed.
07:21In any case, Stever...
07:22Quite out of the question.
07:25I shall go.
07:27Dolly, my dear.
07:28I shall go because Anna is my sister.
07:31But apart from that, I feel sorry for Anna.
07:34And I'm fond of her.
07:35She's been a good friend to me.
07:38So, Costia, if you'd be so kind, may I have the use of a carriage tomorrow?
07:42Yes.
07:43Yes, of course.
08:08It's Dolly.
08:10Alexei, it's my Dolly.
08:12It's Dolly.
08:12It's my Dolly.
08:16Oh, Anna.
08:21You have no idea how pleased we are to see you.
08:25Thank you for your welcome.
08:27Now, Anna, where shall we put the princess?
08:29The big balcony room, I think.
08:30No, no, that's too far off.
08:32She'll be better in the corner room.
08:35Dolly, this is Count Patritsky.
08:37He's a rogue and a wretch, but he's our very good friend.
08:41Pierre, my sister-in-law, Princess Oblonsky.
08:45Enchanted princess.
08:47Now come along.
08:48Come along.
08:54Alexei, tell everyone that Dolly is here.
08:57We'll meet at lunch.
09:03There.
09:04Will this do?
09:06Is this all right for you?
09:08It's extremely elegant.
09:11Oh, it's lovely, Anna.
09:13Everything about this house is quite beautiful.
09:17And you...
09:19You have a view.
09:21Isn't that charming?
09:23Oh, indeed, yes.
09:25Alexei's grandfather built the house.
09:27Afterwards it became dreadfully neglected.
09:29But Alexei, I didn't expect it, you know, but he became enamored of it.
09:33And when he puts his mind to a thing, there's nothing he can't do.
09:37Not just the house, the whole estate.
09:39He's planned, organized, become the perfect landowner.
09:43The servants' cottages, the stud for racehorses.
09:46Everything is designed economically.
09:47He reckons every penny.
09:49But surely he's a rich man.
09:51Oh, yes, yes.
09:52When it's a matter of tens of thousands, he doesn't think of money.
09:55The latest thing is a hospital for all the local people.
09:59He's building it himself, I mean with his own money.
10:02He has an architect, of course.
10:03A clever little man.
10:04You'll meet him, but all the ideas are his own.
10:07You do love him.
10:09You're happy.
10:11Are you surprised?
10:14Do you wonder how I can be happy in my position?
10:17Well, all I can say is that I am.
10:20Especially since we came here.
10:22Something magical has happened to me.
10:24It's like waking up after a horrible dream
10:26and finding your terrors no longer exist.
10:30Do you think me wicked?
10:32No.
10:34Why haven't you written to me?
10:36Oh, I wanted to.
10:37I hadn't the courage.
10:38Hadn't the courage to write to me?
10:42People...
10:43Many people whom I thought of as friends have not been kind.
10:47Especially in Petersburg.
10:49Yes, I imagine so.
10:50I've always thought the people of that sort would make things hard for you.
10:54Yes, Dolly.
10:56Hard.
10:58You know the saying is cold as charity.
11:01Well, I have suffered much coldness and I've had little charity.
11:04But you can't have imagined that I could be like that.
11:07Oh, perhaps not.
11:07But you begin to be afraid that everyone you like will turn out to be an enemy.
11:10I could never be that.
11:12No?
11:13Then tell me.
11:15Tell me honestly.
11:17What do you think of me?
11:19I don't think anything.
11:20I've always loved you.
11:23And...
11:23Well, if you love someone you love the whole person just as they are.
11:27And not as you'd like them to be.
11:31All your sins, if you had any, would be forgiven for this visit.
11:36And for what you've just said.
11:48Oh, you're delightful.
11:51And so advanced.
11:53Is she really only eight months?
11:55Yes.
11:56Yes, although it seems a lifetime since.
11:59Well, that's one nightmare at least that's over.
12:03What I was wondering was...
12:06Is she completely weaned?
12:08I think you want to know something else.
12:11Her name is Anna after me but we call her Annie.
12:14As for her surname she has none.
12:16Legally I believe she's a Karenian and that worries Alexei.
12:20Not you.
12:23We'll talk about it later.
12:26Dolly dear this is Nurse Pepper.
12:28She's come all the way from England to rule over us.
12:31Nurse this is my sister-in-law Princess Oblonsky.
12:34Pleased to meet your highness.
12:36I'm not a royal.
12:38Just say ma'am nurse as you do with me.
12:40Very well ma'am.
12:44How often must I tell you when the child dribbles wipe her face?
12:50Heavens woman won't you ever learn?
12:55See?
12:58Have you brought up the wind?
13:03How many teeth has she got?
13:05Let me see.
13:06Three I believe.
13:07Oh no excuse me ma'am.
13:09Four.
13:10Oh really?
13:11Yes.
13:11Came through two days ago.
13:18What a clever girl.
13:22Dolly I think we better go now.
13:34Yes it is often a grief to me that I'm so useless here in the nursery.
13:38It wasn't like that with my first child.
13:40I should have thought it.
13:41Oh no.
13:43By the way I've seen Serioza.
13:45I have.
13:45But I'll tell you all about it tonight.
13:49Meanwhile...
13:49Ah.
13:50What is it?
13:53What on earth are they doing?
13:55It's a new game called lawn tennis.
13:58The English invented it a few years ago.
14:00Oh they must be very frivolous people.
14:01All they seem to do is play childish games.
14:03My nurse Peppa isn't frivolous and any game she played wouldn't be childish.
14:08Anyway lawn tennis is all the rage.
14:10Even in America I believe and here.
14:13Well our friends like it so do I.
14:16Do you play?
14:17Indeed I do and so shall you.
14:19I?
14:19Oh never.
14:28Nice boy.
14:29Hey hey hey.
14:30Oh.
14:30Oh.
14:31Ohh.
14:31Oh milly.
14:40Oh dolly.
14:43Next thing.
14:43Change your take.
14:45Round 4.
14:50Go away.
14:52Oh.
14:54Oh.
14:55bad lap.
14:57Good shot.
14:57That was a very good shot.
15:02dolly over again
15:11oh our game we won you see i said it was impossible it only needs practice and certain
15:19gifts which i don't possess will you forgive me if i stop now oh by all means let's both stop
15:25oh no please don't paula veslowski come and beat the invincible i'm prepared to try much as i adore
15:34you baroness this is a question of skill so my partner must be anarchy to play this superb game
15:43one must be inspired i dare say but when pierre and i play together we do nothing but quarrel what
15:50you need my boys a little less inspiration for more concentration yeah we'll take you on
15:56yes anna isn't it usual to spin a coin for partners
16:07heads tails we'll show them who's invincible
16:27in our circle you know certain freedoms are permitted
16:31do you wish to sit down or shall we stroll there's something i want to say to you then stroll
16:36by all
16:44means
16:46ready ready
16:52yeah
17:01oh
17:10would you like to walk on or should we sit here thank you
17:26as you can see Anna is very happy but will she remain sir
17:38we're bound together for life everything will be whole sacred
17:44we have a child we may have other children the law is such that the implications are intolerable
17:56my daughter is not my daughter but Karenin's the law says so someday we may have a son and by
18:08law
18:09he would be a Karenin he would not be heir to my name or property the prospect is so bitter
18:19that
18:22well I've tried to talk to Anna about it but after everything she's been through all she wants
18:28is to forget the past and ignore the future she simply closes her eyes I mean really closes her
18:37eyes I can see you've noticed well I understand why besides there's another thing that affects me
18:48it's quite wrong for a man to idle his time away he needs an occupation I hear you have so
18:54many
18:55the hospital district affairs all the committees improving farms that's it's good work honest work
19:02and I'm proud to be doing it but Anna do you mean are you saying that she objects to your
19:11being so
19:12occupied no no no not that it's not that at all the point is this I want children to inherit
19:23what I have
19:24made I want children of my own I can see the feelings of a man who knows that his children
19:33will not be his
19:35that they will legally belong to a man who must hate them well can you imagine
19:46no I can't
19:49I can't
19:51indeed I try to
20:04you
20:06I
20:06see you
