00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:18,247
- Is it?
179
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:21,250
When electricity comes,
half our jobs go up in smoke.
180
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:23,920
Cooking, cleaning, it'll
all be done with electricity
181
00:08:24,003 --> 00:08:25,046
before you know it.
182
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:26,505
- What is the mistress planning
for the night
183
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:27,882
when the lights are turned on?
184
00:08:27,965 --> 00:08:29,759
- Not a large party,
and not here.
185
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:31,636
- It's more of a picnic.
Eight people.
186
00:08:31,719 --> 00:08:34,555
Four in the landau, four
in another rented carriage.
187
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,350
They'll meet here at 7:00
and drive to Park Row.
188
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:40,269
They'll dine in the carriages
to make sure of a good place
189
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:42,897
and watch Edison illuminate
the "Times" building at 10:00.
190
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:44,607
- Who will they get to serve?
191
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:46,442
- Two of the footmen can go
as postilions.
192
00:08:46,525 --> 00:08:47,568
They'll manage.
193
00:08:47,652 --> 00:08:49,904
- I wonder who she's planning
to hook into her scheme.
194
00:08:49,987 --> 00:08:51,405
The Fanes will be there.
195
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:54,283
But I think she'll try
for Mr. McAllister again,
196
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:57,161
if she can persuade him
to be seen with her in public.
197
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:59,747
- I'm sure he'd be very glad
to be seen with her in public.
198
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,582
- Even you don't believe that,
Mrs. Bruce.
199
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:03,793
But he may tolerate it
for the sake of a good dinner
200
00:09:03,876 --> 00:09:05,503
and a decent seat
for the display.
201
00:09:05,586 --> 00:09:08,673
- Please give us a rest from
your nastiness, Miss Turner.
202
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:10,341
- What's that, Mr. Church?
203
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:16,472
- My golly.
204
00:09:16,555 --> 00:09:18,683
- I thought we might practice
in here.
205
00:09:18,766 --> 00:09:20,643
- We could rehearse a new
production of "Aida" in here
206
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:22,311
and still have plenty
of room to spare.
207
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:24,939
- The thing is, I assume
we need some more people.
208
00:09:25,022 --> 00:09:26,691
- Six more for a quadrille.
209
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:28,901
Two more girls and four men,
but don't worry.
210
00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:30,403
Angela Schermerhorn
loves dancing,
211
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:31,612
and she's a cousin of mine.
212
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:32,738
And Sally Drexel.
213
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:35,116
And I can easily round up
a few young men.
214
00:09:35,199 --> 00:09:37,034
- Maybe we could ask
Orme Wilson.
215
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:39,954
Why is your mother
so dead set against him?
216
00:09:40,037 --> 00:09:42,331
Judging by the society pages,
his family goes everywhere.
217
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:45,042
- That's the problem.
She thinks them pushy.
218
00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:47,169
The father was a war profiteer,
or so they say,
219
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:48,713
and the sister has married
Ogden Goelet,
220
00:09:48,796 --> 00:09:50,840
one of the richest men
in America.
221
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:52,883
Of course, everyone thinks
he's been caught.
222
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:55,344
- So your mother doesn't trust
Mr. Wilson's motives?
223
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,972
- To put it mildly.
- But you do?
224
00:09:58,055 --> 00:09:59,098
- To put it mildly.
225
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:00,558
- In that case,
we'll definitely have him
226
00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:02,727
as one of our dancers.
227
00:10:02,810 --> 00:10:04,478
- We need to be able
to tell anyone we ask
228
00:10:04,562 --> 00:10:06,605
when the ball is happening.
229
00:10:06,689 --> 00:10:09,317
- Then we'd better call it off.
- Why do you say that?
230
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,277
- Because you won't set a date.
231
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,695
Every time I ask, you refuse.
232
00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:14,113
- That was before
the house was ready.
233
00:10:14,196 --> 00:10:15,323
Now it is.
234
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:17,658
I'll write to Mr. McAllister
to find a date that's free.
235
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:19,493
We don't want to be
in competition.
236
00:10:19,577 --> 00:10:20,661
- What's changed, Mother?
237
00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:22,663
- Why are you talking
as if I meant you to be
238
00:10:22,747 --> 00:10:25,666
the first debutante in the city
who never made her debut?
239
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:27,543
We'll get a pianist in
for your practice.
240
00:10:27,626 --> 00:10:29,378
And perhaps you have the name
of a dancing instructor?
241
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:30,504
- Of course.
242
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,381
- The men and girls who will
join in your quadrille,
243
00:10:32,465 --> 00:10:33,883
should I ask their parents
if they mind?
244
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:35,718
- Oh, no,
they'll all love Gladys.
245
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:37,053
And they're dying
to see inside this house.
246
00:10:37,136 --> 00:10:38,220
Everyone is.
247
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:40,222
- Well, I'll ask them
to the ball
248
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:41,640
so they can watch
their children perform.
249
00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:43,225
They mustn't miss that.
250
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:50,524
- Gentlemen, I suppose
my first question is,
251
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:54,153
have you seen the paper
that Mr. Dixon says I sent him?
252
00:10:54,236 --> 00:10:55,821
Mr. Brand?
- I've seen it.
253
00:10:55,905 --> 00:10:57,948
I'm afraid it appears genuine.
254
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,242
We'll have a handwriting expert
examine it, of course.
255
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:02,787
But we can't expect
too much from that.
256
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:04,330
- What does it say, exactly?
257
00:11:06,999 --> 00:11:09,627
- "The price is ridiculous.
Find a cheaper option.
258
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:12,421
I don't care what it takes
or how you do it."
259
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:14,548
Followed by your signature.
260
00:11:14,632 --> 00:11:18,010
He's lost the envelope,
but that won't help us.
261
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,596
- Certainly sounds like me.
262
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,431
- Can we confront this Dixon?
263
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:23,933
- There'll be
a preliminary hearing.
264
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:24,975
We'll face him there.
265
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:27,061
- But didn't we pay
the full price?
266
00:11:27,144 --> 00:11:29,397
What happened to the money,
Mr. Lewis?
267
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,400
- Dixon claims the estimate
was submitted for payment
268
00:11:32,483 --> 00:11:33,943
without his knowledge.
269
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:36,237
- So where's the money now?
- Missing.
270
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,739
But not traceable to him,
unfortunately.
271
00:11:38,823 --> 00:11:40,991
- Doesn't that strengthen
Mr. Russell's case?
272
00:11:41,075 --> 00:11:43,077
- It depends whom the judge
chooses to believe
273
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,161
at the hearing.
274
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:45,371
If he believes Mr. Russell,
275
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:47,581
then Dixon will go forward
for trial.
276
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:50,167
And Mr. Russell will only
be called as a witness.
277
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:51,627
- But if he believes Dixon?
278
00:11:51,710 --> 00:11:53,295
- Then Mr. Russell
may be charged
279
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,214
with manslaughter
by negligence.
280
00:11:55,297 --> 00:11:57,466
- That is very pessimistic.
281
00:11:57,550 --> 00:12:00,302
- Mr. Russell should be ready
for the worst.
282
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:02,221
- Believe me,
283
00:12:02,304 --> 00:12:04,807
Mr. Russell is always ready
for the worst.
284
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:07,017
[dramatic music]
285
00:12:07,101 --> 00:12:08,310
- Cousin Oscar.
286
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:11,188
[door slams]
287
00:12:13,732 --> 00:12:15,151
- Is everything all right?
288
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:16,902
- Oscar's gone.
289
00:12:16,986 --> 00:12:19,321
He's angry with me,
but he has no right to be.
290
00:12:19,405 --> 00:12:20,614
I'm the one to be angry.
291
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:22,450
- Why? What's happened?
292
00:12:22,533 --> 00:12:24,618
- Oscar has disgraced himself.
293
00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:26,954
- With Mrs. Russell's maid.
294
00:12:27,037 --> 00:12:28,330
- How democratic.
295
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,666
- It is no laughing matter.
296
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:32,126
Really.
297
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:34,920
On top of Bannister's betrayal,
it is too much.
298
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:36,505
- Oscar tried to deny it.
299
00:12:36,589 --> 00:12:39,008
- Are you telling this story,
or am I?
300
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:41,510
Although, why either of us
are telling it to Marian,
301
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:42,761
I do not know.
302
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:45,097
- He said they were friendly
acquaintances and that was all.
303
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:46,348
- Well, I suppose--
304
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:47,475
- As if my son
305
00:12:47,558 --> 00:12:50,478
would number a lady's maid
among his friends.
306
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,354
Even Ada thought
that was nonsense,
307
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,398
and she barely knows
how babies are born.
308
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:57,318
- Agnes, your anger
is making you indelicate.
309
00:12:57,401 --> 00:12:58,819
- So what happens now?
310
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,489
- I want her sacked.
311
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:04,116
I want her out on her ear
by tomorrow night.
312
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,035
- Then you must write
to Mrs. Russell.
313
00:13:06,118 --> 00:13:07,161
- What would I say?
314
00:13:07,244 --> 00:13:09,413
My mother always told me
never to write anything
315
00:13:09,497 --> 00:13:11,332
I wouldn't want printed
on the letters page
316
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:12,500
of a popular journal.
317
00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:15,336
- Then what will you do?
- I'll do nothing.
318
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:19,256
You will go and see
Mrs. Russell.
319
00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:22,051
After all, you know her.
I do not.
320
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:23,594
- But it isn't my quarrel.
321
00:13:23,677 --> 00:13:26,388
- Your family's honor
is in danger.
322
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:27,598
Certainly it is your quarrel.
323
00:13:27,681 --> 00:13:29,266
- What right have I
to ask a woman
324
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:31,727
to fire her own servant?
325
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:33,896
It's an impossible task.
- Marian.
326
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:37,441
I may be didactic,
but I do not often give orders.
327
00:13:37,525 --> 00:13:41,028
This is a direct order.
Will you defy me?
328
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:42,947
Is that what we have come to?
329
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,033
- Did you hear the noise?
330
00:13:46,116 --> 00:13:49,203
I was in the hall when Mistress
started shouting at Mr. Oscar.
331
00:13:49,286 --> 00:13:51,163
Then he marched out
and slammed the door.
332
00:13:51,247 --> 00:13:53,207
- Which made one less
for dinner,
333
00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:55,459
And we got the rest
of the ice cream to share.
334
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:56,544
- These things happen.
335
00:13:56,627 --> 00:13:58,170
- You don't sound
very surprised.
336
00:13:58,254 --> 00:13:59,755
- With a mother and son,
337
00:13:59,838 --> 00:14:01,757
there's bound to be
fireworks sometimes.
338
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,092
- You don't know
what it's about?
339
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:05,803
- Please, we owe it
to Mrs. Van Rhijn not to pry.
340
00:14:05,886 --> 00:14:08,806
- You won't get back into
her good graces that easily.
341
00:14:08,889 --> 00:14:10,933
Oh, silly me.
342
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,435
I've left some things upstairs
that I need to wash
343
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:14,562
before I sleep.
344
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:20,276
- She knows more
than she's saying.
345
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:22,570
- All ladies' maids know
more than they say.
346
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:23,946
[all chuckling]
347
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:28,367
- Church said you were here.
- I told him to.
348
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,577
I hope you don't mind

Did the lawyers
keep you this late?

I stayed talking to Clay,

- And?
355
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:41,839

356
00:14:41,922 --> 00:14:43,465

if a crime's been committed
357
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:45,426

it should go for trial.

in the least funny

the possibility of prison,

of an improper affair?
439

that is generally the case

are of a very different rank.

there won't be room for you.
