ANNABEL AND JULIUS'
CHRISTMAS PARTY

WAS THE OCCASION
OF THE YEAR,

BUT IT WAS TO BRING
BITTER SECRETS INTO THE OPEN.

...LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

CONCHITA'S DESPERATE
REQUEST FOR A LOAN,

AND ANNABEL'S REAWAKENED LOVE
FOR GUY THWAITE...

ANNABEL, MY DEAR,
THE DUKE IS ASKING FOR YOU.

DAMN YOU.
DAMN YOU.

YOU'RE AN UNGRATEFUL,
DAMNED AMERICAN...

BURN, LITTLE BITCH.
YOU...

YOU WILL STOP IT.

IT WAS CLEAR HER HOLLOW MARRIAGE
HAD IRRETRIEVABLY BROKEN DOWN.

MEANWHILE, HECTOR ROBINSON
HAD GONE INTO BUSINESS

WITH COLONEL ST. GEORGE,
WHOSE FORTUNES WERE LOOKING UP.

PUT REFRIGERATION
AND STEAM SHIPS TOGETHER...

THE WORLD IS OUR OYSTER.

WITH MONEY IN HER POCKET,
VIRGINIA PAID A VISIT TO HER
HUSBAND'S LOVER, IDINA.

THERE'S NO COMPARISON
BETWEEN US.

SEADOWN PAID ME
RATHER WELL,

YOU, I BELIEVE,
PAY SEADOWN.

EIGHTEEN INCHES BETWEEN US?
SURELY, MY REPUTATION WILL SURVIVE.

SEE HERE...

I GATHER FROM THE DOWAGER THAT
ANNABEL HAS BEEN SEEN DAILY

AT THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, AND
I REPEAT, WHAT IS MY SON UP TO?

IF GUY IS CHASING AFTER
OUR LITTLE AMERICAN DUCHESS,
HE'S PLAYING WITH FIRE.

YOU HAVE NOT YET
PRODUCED AN HEIR,

AND I HAVE TO TAKE BACK
BOTH RECOMMENDS

AS I RETURN YOU
TO LONGLANDS BY FORCE.

- THEN WHY DON'T YOU?
- BECAUSE I AM NOT A MONSTER.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
I AM NOT A MONSTER.

I WON'T LET YOU GO.

I WON'T LET YOU GO
UNLESS YOU TELL ME
YOU DON'T LOVE ME.

LOOK AT ME AND SAY
YOU DON'T CARE FOR ME.

I CAN'T.

YOU KNOW I CAN'T.

- I MUST GO HOME.
- NO.

IN DESPAIR,
NAN FORSAKES HER LOVE,

AND RELUCTANTLY
RETURNS TO HER ROLE

AS DUCHESS OF TREVENICK.

IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, JULIUS,
HOW HAPPY I AM

THAT ANNABEL IS
SAFELY BACK HOME AT LAST.

GERTRUDE, LEAVE US.

FIRSTLY, YOU SHOULD
NATURALLY LEAVE ANNABEL
IN PEACE FOR SIX MONTHS.

WE MUST BE QUITE CERTAIN SHE IS
NOT CARRYING ANOTHER MAN'S CHILD.

MOTHER, I'M SURE...

UNFORTUNATELY, A FATHER
CAN NEVER BE SURE.

IT WILL PROVIDE YOU
WITH AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY

TO BEGIN AGAIN...
AND THAT IS MY SECOND POINT.

MY DEAR, YOU REALLY
MUST LEARN TO BE A LOVER.

YOU MUST WOO ANNABEL.

Wo...

MOTHER, ANNABEL AND I
HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR
NEARLY TWO YEARS.

NOT VERY SUCCESSFULLY,

AND I'M SURE WE CAN'T LAY
ALL THE BLAME ON ANNABEL.

SIT DOWN, JULIUS.

NOW, A FEW WORDS
OF ADVICE, MY DEAR.

"MY DEAR ANNABEL,

A SMALL TOKEN OF MY ESTEEM

TO MARK OUR SECOND
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

JULIUS."

GOOD AFTERNOON, CHILDREN.

GOOD AFTERNOON, LORD B.

- ARE YOU ALL READY?
- YES.

YOU ALL LIKE
JELLY AND CAKES, CHILDREN?

YES.

HEY, DIDDLE-DIDDLE,

- THE CAT AND...
- THE CAT AND THE FIDDLE.

- ONE...
- ONE...

- TWO...
- TWO...

- THREE.
- THREE.

AND HERE
THEY COME.

? FOR HE'S A JOLLY
GOOD FELLOW ?

? AND SO SAY ALL OF US. ?

? AND SO SAY ALL OF US ?

? AND SO SAY ALL OF US ?

? FOR HE'S A JOLLY
GOOD FELLOW ?

? FOR HE'S
A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW ?

? FOR HE'S A JOLLY
GOOD FELLOW ?

? AND SO SAY ALL OF US. ?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
FREDERICK.

- WISH, WISH, WISH...
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
FREDERICK.

OH, WELL DONE,
WELL DONE.

SOPHIE, COME HERE.

THIS LOVELY PARTY
WE HAVE FOR YOU, FREDERICK.

WHERE'S MY MOMMY?
WHY ISN'T SHE COMING?

YOU HAVE THREE MOMMIES
TO CHOOSE FROM, SOPHIE,

- JUST FOR TODAY.
- RIGHT.

NICE TO SEE YOU, MY DEAR.

- NO BABIES YET?
- OH.

- HOW OLD ARE YOU?
- TWENTY-ONE, MY DEAR.

AH, YOU MUST GET A MOVE ON.
YOU MUST HAVE BABIES.

THESE YOUNG GIRLS ARE
READILY DISAPPEARING FAST.

SOON, THEY'LL BE
NONE OF US LEFT.

YOU HAVE THREE GRANDCHILDREN,
AND TWO OF THEM ARE BOYS.

BOYS CANNOT BE RELIED ON.
BOYS GO TO THE BAD.

BOYS GET KILLED
IN THE WARS.

YOU MUST HAVE GIRLS,
MY DEAR,

REGIMENTS OF GIRLS.

DON'T LISTEN
TO HIM, ANNABEL.

HE'S TURNING INTO A MORBID,
RUDE OLD MAN.

OH...

OH, WHO'S THAT?

SEADOWN?

OH, WHAT A MATTER
YOU'RE HOME.

I KNOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO
TELL WITHIN THE LINES, NOR I CAN'T.

AND EVEN HONORIA CAN'T
GET ANY SENSE OUT OF IT.

YOUR FATHER, HE HIDES
THE BILLS, MY DEAR.

AND THEN CLAIMS TO HAVE
NO KNOWLEDGE OF THEM.

AND SO MANY OF THEM
ARE FROM DR. ALDER,

FOR RICHARD.

SOMETHING HAS BEEN KEPT
FROM ME, I KNOW.

IT'S A STRANGE THING, DEAR...

WHEN ONE LOSES
ONE'S HEARING.

OH.

IT SEEMS ONE
CAN'T SEE VERY WELL EITHER.

EVERYTHING SLIPPING AWAY.

- MOTHER, I'VE ONLY JUST
COME IN FROM TOWN. I'VE TRAVELED
OVER NIGHT. - WHAT?

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS LATER,
I PROMISE, BUT I...

I MUST GO
AND FIND VIRGINIA.

WAIT...

WHAT? I...

SEADOWN.

WHAT IS IT?

IDINA HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE.

SHE HAS DROWNED HERSELF.

THEY FOUND HER LAST NIGHT.
HER BODY WAS CAUGHT
UNDER THE JETTY.

AH, WELL, IT'S HORRIBLE.

POOR IDINA.

I'M SO SORRY.

MY FAULT, I FEEL.

- YOU KNOW THAT IDINA AND I...
- ISN'T THERE SOMEONE ELSE?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, NO,
THERE ISN'T...

NOT ANYMORE, THEN.

I'VE BEEN QUITE HAPPY HERE,
YOU KNOW...

IN MY WAY...

WITHOUT YOU.

I'VE RUINED
EVERYTHING...

I KNOW.

SO MUCH
STUPID SUFFERING.

I'M SORRY.

I SCARCELY HAVE
THE RIGHT TO ASK,

BUT I WANT
TO COME BACK, VIRGINIA.

WILL YOU HAVE ME?

- DEAR BOY.
- FATHER.

I SEE LONDON HAS DYED YOU
THE USUAL DISAGREEABLE GRAY,

BUT WE'LL SOON GET
SOME COLOR BACK INTO YOU.

YOU CAN CLEAR YOU HEAD
OF THAT RADICAL LONDON FOG, EH?

COME.

OH, MS. TESTVALLEY...

YES, I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE
OF MS. TESTVALLEY'S COMPANY
QUITE OFTEN JUST RECENTLY.

MS. TESTVALLEY,
IT'S LOVELY TO SEE YOU.

MR. THWAITE, SIR...

OH, HI, THOMAS.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DUKE.
I'VE JUST COME UP FROM HORTON.

HIS GRACE WANTS YOU DOWN THERE
AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY.

DID HE SAY WHY?

THE CONSTITUENCIES
FEELING RATHER NEGLECTED, SIR.

BESIDES,
NEWS GETS ABOUT.

NEWS?

YOUR SPEECH,
MR. THWAITE,

ON THE SMALL MATTER OF
THE ABOLITION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

THEY'RE ALL IN A BIT OF A LAUGHTER
ABOUT IT DOWN AT HORTON, SIR.

YES, I MIGHT HAVE KNOWN.

I DON'T EXPECT YOU
TO BE SOME SORT OF

VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY, GUY,
BUT FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

YOU REPRESENT
THE PEOPLE OF HORTON,
YOU REPRESENT ME.

YOU REPRESENT THE FAMILIES
OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE KNOWN
SINCE YOU WERE A BOY.

NOT A FEW OF THEM HAVE MEMBERS
IN THE UPPER HOUSE.

WHEN I STOOD FOR ELECTION,
I MADE NO BONES ABOUT
MY OPINIONS.

WELL, IF I MAY SAY, YOU...
NO ONE REMEMBERS YOU HAD PLANS

TO WIPE THE HOUSE OF LORDS
OFF THE MAP.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, A BIT
CURIOUS ISSUE TO RAISE WITH ME.

THIS CONVERSATION
WILL GET US NOWHERE.

LOOK, YOU BEEN
AS STUBBORN AS THE DEVIL...
YOU ALWAYS WERE.

OH, JULIUS, YOU TOTALLY
MISUNDERSTAND MY FUNCTION HERE.

WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME
FOR ONE MOMENT, PLEASE?

THOMAS, LET ME HAVE
A MINUTE, WILL YOU?

AND YOU ARE NOT TO BE
REPRESENTING AMERICAN-STYLE
INTERESTS IN THIS CONSTITUENCY.

JULIUS, I AM
THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE
OF THIS CONSTITUENCY.

EXACTLY MY POINT.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS IS THE BEDROCK
OF THE INSTITUTION OF THIS COUNTRY.

WELL, THAT IS
JUST MY OPINION, JULIUS.

QUITE FRANKLY,
I QUESTION THE SINCERITY
OF YOUR OPINION.

A MAN WHO KOWTOWS TO THE MASSES
HAS NO MIND OF HIS OWN,

AND FREEDOM
TO ACT ON PRINCIPLE.

IT'S THE END OF POLITICS
AS AN HONORABLE PROFESSION.

THOUGH HONOR, OF COURSE,
MAY BE NOT YOUR FIRST CONCERN.

WELL, WE HARDLY HAVE THE MASSES
TO WORRY ABOUT JUST YET.

BUT YOU WILL HAVE,
YOU WILL.

YOU TELL ME,
IF YOU WANTED TO FIND

A VIOLENT, DULL-WITTED DRUNKARD
IN THIS CONSTITUENCY,

- WHERE WOULD YOU LOOK, HUH?
THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM?
- THAT'S A MATTER OF OPINION, JULIUS.

DON'T... DON'T...
WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME?

DANGER ISN'T FROM DEMOCRACY.
THAT IS JUST OLD-FASHIONED
BLANKED NONSENSE.

THE DANGER COMES FROM HOSTILITY
BETWEEN THE CLASSES.

AND FROM THE QUITE
FRIGHTENING INCREASE

IN THE POLITICAL POWER
OF SHEER WEALTH.

THERE'S NO NEED TO GET
ON YOUR SOAPBOX WITH ME.

GOD.

DON'T BE SUCH
A POMPOUS LITTLE ASS.

YOU ARE
A VERY AMBITIOUS MAN.

BUT YOU HAVE ONLY ONE FOOT
IN THE STIRRUP AND YOU HAVE
A LONG WAY TO GO YET.

I COULD KNOCK YOUR FOOT OUT OF
THAT STIRRUP ANY TIME I PLEASE,

AND DON'T YOU
DAMN WELL FORGET IT.

I'M DISAPPOINTED.

YOUR ARGUMENT'S...
THIRD RATE.

THEY'RE THE ARGUMENTS
OF A POLITICAL ADVENTURE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

YOU SAY THAT AGAIN
TO MY FACE.

I CALLED YOU
A POLITICAL ADVENTURER.

OR SHOULD I JUST SAY
ADVENTURER?

TAKE IT EASY NOW.
TAKE IT EASY, SIR.

JULIUS...

WE'VE ALL BEEN
WAITING FOR YOU.

MR. THWAITE.

DUCHESS.

DO HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US.

THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
REHEARSING ALL WEEK.

YES.

YOU CAN'T REFUSE
THE DUCHESS.

BESIDES, A SHOW OF SOLIDARITY
IS IN ORDER, DON'T YOU THINK?

? YANKEE DOODLE WENT TO TOWN ?
RIDING ON A PONY ?

? HE STUCK A FEATHER IN HIS CAP
AND CALLED IT MACARONI ?

? YANKEE DOODLE, KEEP IT UP
YANKEE DOODLE DANDY ?

? MIND THE MUSIC AND THE STEP
AND WITH THE GIRLS BE HANDY ?

?...WENT DOWN TO CAMP
ALONG WITH CAPTAIN GOODING ?

? AND THERE WE SAW THE MEN AND BOYS
AS THICK AS HASTY PUDDING ?

? YANKEE DOODLE, KEEP IT UP
YANKEE DOODLE DANDEE ?

? MIND THE MUSIC AND THE STEP
AND WITH THE GIRLS BE HANDY. ?

? THERE WAS CAPTAIN WASHINGTON
UPON A SLAPPING STALLION... ?

"WHEN THEY TALK OF SOMEONE
DYING OF LOVE,

THIS IS WHAT THEY MEAN,
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

IT HAS BEEN GIVEN A GLIMPSE OF PARADISE,
AND THEN BEING DENIED IT,

SO THAT YOUR LIFE TURNS
TO ASHES IN YOUR MOUTH.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO DO, NAN?

BEHAVE AS IF YOU MEANT
NOTHING TO ME?

I MIGHT AS WELL DIG A HOLE
IN THE GROUND AND BURY MYSELF ALIVE.

I REMEMBER YOUR HAND,
SMALL AND STRONG,

LIKE A LITTLE ANIMAL
WITH A LIFE OF ITS OWN,

AND STOPPING MY MIRTH AS WE STOOD
IN FRONT OF THE CORAGGIOS.

I REMEMBER WHEN
YOU CAME TO LONDON...

YOU STOOD ONE DAY, LOOKING
AT THE RIVER AND YOU SAID...

I SHOULD LIKE TO CLOSE MY EYES,

AND HAVE MY LIFE END NOW.

AND THAT NIGHT I HAD A DREAM

IN WHICH I WAS SEARCHING
FOR YOU SOMEWHERE BY THE SEA,

AMONGST SAND DUNES
AT TWILIGHT,

BUT I COULDN'T FIND YOU,
ONLY HEAR YOUR FAINT SIGH

LIKE SOMEONE'S LAST BREATH.

THEN JUST AS
I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP,

YOU REACHED OUT AND DREW ME
DOWN TO WHERE YOU WERE HIDING.

YOU LAUGHED
AND CALLED ME YOUR DARLING,

WORDS I CAN NEVER HOPE
TO HEAR IN REALITY.

YOU CALLED THE OTHER LIFE
"LIES AND HYPOCRISY",

BUT WHAT
DO YOU CALL THIS, NAN?"

JULIUS?

MR. LAZLO IS TO PAINT US
IN THE RAPHAEL ROOM, ANNABEL,

- AGAINST THE FLEMISH TAPESTRIES.
- HMM, NICE.

I ALWAYS KNEW YOU'D BE ABLE
TO CARRY OFF THESE EXCRESCENCIES.

NO ONE WOULD EVER GUESS
YOU WEREN'T BORN TO THE PART.

THANK YOU, JULIUS.

WELL, DON'T BE TOO LONG, ANNABEL,
THE GREAT MAN IS A STICKLER FOR
STARTING ON TIME.

- JULIUS, I...
- HMM?

I... I HEARD GERTRUDE
CRYING LAST NIGHT,

WEEPING AS IF HER HEART
WERE BROKE.

WALLACE CAME TO SEE ME YESTERDAY
TO ASK FOR HER HAND.

IT'S TYPICAL OF THE MAN
TO APPROACH ME WHEN I WAS
OCCUPIED WITH OTHER THINGS.

ANYWAY, I SENT HIM PACKING.

GERTRUDE IS IN LOVE
WITH MR. WALLACE.

THE MAN IS UNIVERSALLY
ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE A BAD LOT.

GERTRUDE HAS A TITLE,
SHE HAS MONEY IN HER OWN RIGHT.

HER PLACE IS HERE,
WITH OUR MOTHER.

WITHOUT A HUSBAND,
HAVE CHILDREN?

IT'S TOO LATE
FOR GERTRUDE TO MARRY.
IT'S SOME ACTS OF DESPERATION.

DO I...

LOOK AS I SHOULD?

YOU LOOK VERY FINE.

GOOD.

ANNABEL?

ANNABEL, HOW MUCH LONGER
DO YOU EXPECT...

ANNA...

ANNABEL...

OH, VAL...

DEAR VAL, I HAVE
LET YOU DOWN SO BADLY.

OH, ANNABEL.

ANNABEL, IF YOU ONLY KNEW

THE NUMBER OF TIMES
I'VE RE-WRITTEN THE PAST,

PUTTING IN ALL THE THINGS
I SHOULD'VE SAID

AND SHOULD'VE DONE
TO PREVENT YOUR MARRIAGE.

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

COME ON, LADIES,
TRY YOUR LUCK.

IT ISN'T TOO LATE FOR ME,
IS IT?

I MEAN, SOMETIMES I FEEL
LIKE MY LIFE IS OVER, LIKE...

LIKE ALL OF MY MISTAKES ARE
CLOSING IN ON ME LIKE A JAIL.

OH, DARLING.
MY GIRL, MY DARLING GIRL.

OH, MY DARLING.

GO.
GO ON.

LOVELY TO SEE YOU,
FELICIA.

COME ALONG THEN,
COME ALONG.

AND DON'T TELL ME
YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY,
WITH ALL THE EXCITEMENT.

COME ALONG.

PENNIES NOT AS BROWN.

COME ALONG.
GOOD DAY.

THANK YOU.

ANNABEL, I THINK
YOU SHOULD KNOW.

GUY IS HERE.

HE ARRIVED THIS MORNING
WITH HIS FATHER, FIRST THING.

FOR THE FÊTE.

I SUPPOSE HE'S HERE
TO SEE FELICIA.

WELL, DARLING,
I DON'T KNOW.

BUT AS M.P. FOR HORTON,
HE WOULD NATURALLY WANT TO...

OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

HE SHOULD MARRY FELICIA.

FELICIA WOULD MAKE HIM
A PERFECT WIFE.

- I SHOULD GO.
- ANNABEL, WAIT.

PLEASE WAIT.

SHOULD I TELL GUY
THAT YOU'RE HERE?

YES.

GO QUICKLY, VAL,
BEFORE I LOSE HEART.

AH, MS. TESTVALLEY,
HAVE YOU EATEN?

- AH, NO, NOT YET.
- SORRY?

- NOT YET.
- AND DO HAVE SOME
OF PEGGY'S FRUITCAKE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

- THANK YOU.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.

YES... I'M VERY GLAD
TO HEAR IT.

IT'S NAN... I THINK
YOU SHOULD TALK TO HER.

HOLD UP, HOLD UP.

DUCHESS...

ANNABEL, I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE HERE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
COME UP TO THE HOUSE?

IT'S THE DUCHESS
AND MR. THWAITE.

LAURA...

LAURA.

YOU'VE KNOWN ALL ALONG.

YOU'VE BEEN THEIR
GO-BETWEEN, HAVEN'T YOU?

NO.

YES, I KNEW, BUT...

WELL, UNTIL TODAY,
I'VE SAID NOTHING.

THE LITTLE AMERICAN
UPSTARTING MY SON?

ANNABEL'S MARRIAGE
WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

A MISTAKE THAT
I COLLUDED IN.

ALL MISTAKES ON THAT SCALE
HAVE TO BE LIVED WITH.

I SUPPOSE YOU MEAN
THAT ANNABEL WAS UNHAPPY.

DO YOU THINK
ALL MARRIAGES ARE HAPPY?

DO YOU THINK
MY OWN MARRIAGE WAS HAPPY?

I DIDN'T LOVE MY WIFE,
BUT SHE...

BROUGHT OUT
THE BEST IN ME.

DID SHE?

OR DID SHE ONLY
ALLOW YOU TO PLAY SAFE?

AT LEAST YOUR SON HAS
THE COURAGE OF HIS CONVICTIONS.

WELL, I THANK GOD
I'VE BEEN SAVED FROM MINE.

AND WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?

IS SELF DESTRUCTION
YOUR IDEA OF COURAGE?

CAN'T A WOMAN EVER BE FREE
TO CHOOSE HER LIFE?

TO LOVE?
TO HAVE HER OWN FREE WILL?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
YOU HAVEN'T A FREE WILL,
MS. TESTVALLEY?

SURELY,
YOU JUST EXERCISED IT.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

STAND, STAND.

IF YOU DO NOT DIVORCE,
YOU CANNOT REMARRY.

IT IS YOUR DUTY TO REMARRY.

YOU... YOU CANNOT
EXPECT ME TO ACCEPT

THAT THE TREVENICK LINE
ENDS WITH YOU?

NOT WHEN I REMEMBER
EVERYTHING I WENT THROUGH.

THERE WAS NO QUESTION
THAT I COULD EVER ESCAPE MY DUTY.

YOUNG WOMEN TODAY.

I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HER,
NEVER.

AFTER ALL MY KINDNESS.

IF SHE CAME CRAWLING BACK
ON HER KNEES,

I SHOULD INSIST
THAT YOU DIVORCE HER.

DON'T GO.

MAYBE HE WON'T
DO ANYTHING.

WE REALLY SHOULD TALK
ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW.

I KNOW.

I'M NO LAWYER, BUT...

I KNOW YOU COULD SUE JULIUS
FOR DIVORCE ON GROUNDS OF HIS
HOMOSEXUALITY AND WIN.

YOUR MARRIAGE
MIGHT EVEN BE ANNULLED.

YOU'D HAVE EVERYONE'S SYMPATHY
AS A WOMAN MORE SINNED AGAINST
THAN SINNER.

MY POLITICAL CAREER
WOULD BE VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHED.

IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD,
MY DARLING, ADULTERY IS ONE THING,

RUNNING OFF WITH A WIFE
OF AN UNKNOWN MAN

IS ILL-ADVISED
BUT FORGIVABLE,

BEING NAMED AS THE CO-RESPONDENT
TO A SENSATIONAL DIVORCE CASE IS NOT.

BUT... FOR ME
TO DIVORCE JULIUS,

I WOULD HAVE
TO PROVE MY CASE.

CERTAINLY, THAT'D
HAVE TO BE PROVEN.

IT'S INTOLERABLE.

I HAVE NO ILLUSIONS, BUT...

I COULD NEVER DO SOMETHING
SO UGLY AS TO EXPOSE HIM.

THEN WE NEED
NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN.

MAYBE HE WON'T
DO ANYTHING.

I THINK JULIUS
OF ALL PEOPLE,

IF HE WENT THROUGH WITH THE DIVORCE,
HE WOULD BE IN EVERY NEWSPAPER.

OH, GOD.

PRAY GOD HE LETS ME GO.

BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS,
WE'RE IN HIS HANDS.

I KNOW
THIS IS HARD FOR YOU.

OF COURSE IT'S HARD...

BUT I LOVE YOU, NAN.

I LOVE YOU.

NO, THANK YOU.

WALK ON.

MMM.

THIS SAYS THAT
THE CRYSTAL PALACE

IS THE FAVORITE RESORT
OF THE PEOPLE ON THEIR
GREAT ANNUAL HOLIDAY.

I THINK
WE SHOULD TAKE THE BOYS.

TOO YOUNG.

NONSENSE. THEY'RE NEARLY THREE.
IT LOOKS WONDERFUL.

UH-UH, HERE IT IS.
LIZZY, LISTEN.

"THE TWELFTH DUKE
OF TREVENICK

IS SUING HIS WIFE, THE AMERICAN
HEIRESS ANNABEL ST. GEORGE

FOR DIVORCE ON THE GROUNDS
OF HER ADULTERY..."

- LORDY, LORDY.
- HMM...

"...WITH MR. GUY THWAITE,
LIBERAL M.P. FOR HORTON."

THERE'S ONE BLESSING...
AT LEAST HE'S NOT A TORY.

"...HORTON, AND SON
OF SIR HELMSLEY THWAITE.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
SCANDAL HAS ROCKED THIS
ILLUSTRIOUS FAMILY

SINCE HENRY THE SEVENTH CREATED
THE FIRST DUKE OF TREVENICK IN 1505.

THE DUCHESS' SISTER...

LADY SEADOWN,
IS MARRIED

TO THE HEIR TO THE MARQUIS
OF BRIGHTLINGSEA."

DEAR HEAVENS.

THEY DON'T MENTION US,
DO THEY?

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.

SURELY, HE WON'T DARE
SHOW HIS FACE IN THE HOUSE
THIS AFTERNOON.

- GOOD MORNING, SIR.
- THOMAS.

I TAKE IT YOU'RE
GOING AHEAD AS PLANNED, SIR?

OF COURSE.

I BEG TO REMIND THIS HOUSE

THAT IT IS NOT FOR NOTHING
THAT THE POWER OF THE STATE

HAS BEEN KEPT IN THE HANDS
OF THOSE WHO HAVE PROPERTY.

IF WE DESTROY THAT SYSTEM,

WE GIVE OVER POWER

INTO THE HANDS
OF THE IRRESPONSIBLE MULTITUDE

AND WE SHALL HAVE TO TAKE
THE CONSEQUENCES.

THE HONORABLE MEMBER FOR LINCOLN
IS, OF COURSE, PERFECTLY CORRECT.

POLITICAL POWER
IN THIS COUNTRY

IS BESTOWED
BY MERE ACCIDENT OF BIRTH.

MORE THAN FOUR MILLION ACRES
OF ENGLAND

ARE IN THE HANDS
OF JUST 12 INDIVIDUALS.

ALL 12 ARE MEMBERS OF
THE UPPER HOUSE.

IS IT SURPRISING,
THEREFORE,

THAT HIS LORDSHIP'S DENY
JUSTICE AND DELAY REFORM.

I CALL UPON THIS HOUSE

TO INTRODUCE AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
DURING THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT

A MEASURE TO ABOLISH THE HOUSE OF LORDS
AS AN HEREDITARY UPPER CHAMBER.

ORDER.
ORDER.

THE LORDS MAY KEEP THEIR RANK
AND TITLES, THEIR STARS AND GARTERS.

INDEED, THEY MAY KEEP
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
THAT IS RIGHTLY THEIRS.

IS A DUKE'S WIFE
NOT RIGHTLY HIS?

ORDER. ORDER.

ORDER.

THE HONORABLE GENTLEMAN
FOR BATH

HAS MADE AN IMPROPER
AND UNPARLIAMENTARY REMARK.

I WILL NOW ASK HIM
TO EXPRESS REGRET TO THE HOUSE.

THE REMARK IS ONE
I UNRESERVEDLY WITHDRAW.

I REPEAT,

THE LORDS MAY KEEP
ALL THEIR INHERITAGE
PRIVILEGES BAR ONE...

THEIR PRESUMED RIGHT TO
CONTROL THE WAY IN WHICH
WE GOVERN OURSELVES.

THE HONORABLE MEMBER
FOR HORTON HAS SPOKEN

WITH PASSION ON A SUBJECT...
DEAR TO HIS HEART.

MORE ON WHICH, I BEG TO SUGGEST,
PASSION HAS CLOUDED HIS UNDERSTANDING.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS
IS NOT A BASTION OF PRIVILEGE.

IT IS THE PEOPLE'S
LAST LINE OF DEFENSE

AGAINST THE TYRANNY
OF THE SINGLE CHAMBER.

WELL, IN... IN THAT CASE...

IN THAT CASE, SIR,

THE PEOPLE HAVE A CLEAR RIGHT
TO ASK THROUGH ME,

ONE OF THEIR ELECTED
REPRESENTATIVES,

WHAT ELSE HIS LORDSHIP'S DO
TO JUSTIFY THE VAST INCOMES

THEY DRAW
FROM THEIR ESTATES.

INCOMES... INCOMES WHICH
IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES
ARE UNEARNED.

THEY... THEY TOIL NOT,
NEITHER DO THEY SPIN.

OUR BRITISH CONSTITUTION HAS
BEEN COMPARED TO A HIVE OF BEES.

THE QUEEN BEE IS HONORED
AND REVERED BY ALL HER SUBJECTS.

BENEATH HER,
COME THE DRONES.

THEN THERE ARE
THE WORKING BEES.

NOW, THE DRONES LEAD
AN IDLE PARASITIC LIFE,

FEEDING ON THE FRUITS
OF OTHER'S LABORS...

I'VE NO DOUBT
THEY THINK THEMSELVES
THE FINEST OF INSECTS...

YET AT AROUND THIS TIME OF THE YEAR,
THEIR DREAM ENDS IN TRAGEDY,

FOR THE WORKING BEE HAS GROWN
SUDDENLY INTOLERANT OF THIS BURDEN
ON THEIR RESOURCES,

DRIVE THE DRONES
FROM THE HIVE.

DICKIE...

DICKIE...

DICKIE, DICKIE,
WHAT ON EARTH'S THE MATTER, HUH?

- EVERYONE WENT ON WITHOUT US.
- HUH?

DARLING, YOU MUST PULL
YOURSELF TOGETHER, ALL RIGHT?

DICKIE?

THANK YOU, FISHER.
I'M SURE LORD RICHARD
WILL BE ALL RIGHT NOW.

STUPID... IDIOT.

I THOUGHT...

HE'D LEAVE ME
A NOTE OR SOMETHING.

I THOUGHT HE'D HAVE
SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME.

BUT THERE'S... NOTHING.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

NOTHING AT ALL.

HERE, DARLING.

HERE. DRINK.

THERE.

YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS A CHILD...

I ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD
TO GOING BACK TO SCHOOL EACH TERM.

I DON'T THINK FATHER...

ACTIVELY DISLIKED
HIS CHILDREN, BUT...

YOU KNOW, HE HONESTLY
COULDN'T TELL THE GIRLS APART.

AND HE COULD NEVER
DAMN WELL REMEMBER MY NAME.

ALL RIGHT, DARLING.

- CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
- LET'S GO.

"BOY", HE USED TO CALL ME.

"OLD BOY".

"OLD CHAP".

"LADDY".

SILLY, SILLY.

HE NEVER KNEW
WHO THE HELL I WAS.

LIZZY.

STOP.

HOLD ON, DARLING.

DARLING NAN.

- OH, MY DARLING NAN.
- OH...

I'M SURE EVERYTHING
YOU EVER THOUGHT OF ME
WAS TRUE AND WORSE,

BUT I NEVER DESERT
A FRIEND.

OH...
I HAD TO SAY GOODBYE.

PUT THIS
ON THE GRAVE FOR ME.

HERE WITH YOUR MAMA,
CHIN UP.

SHALL I GO WITH THE DOWAGER
OR WITH YOUR MOTHER?

WITH MOTHER.

LORD BRIGHTLINGSEA.

HAT.

WELL, I HAVE TO HAND IT TO YOU.
YOU'RE EITHER A VERY BRAVE MAN OR
A COMPLETE FOOL TO TURN UP HERE.

FATHER, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS
I MUST SAY TO YOU.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'VE READ
ANY OF MY LETTERS.

BESIDES...

I COULD HARDLY GO AWAY
WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.

I'M GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA...
AS AN ENGINEER AGAIN.

THE SOUTH AFRICA COMPANY
IS BUILDING A RAIL LINK BETWEEN
THE CAPE AND DURBAN.

DAMN GOOD IDEA. BEST PLACE FOR YOU
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'M DESPERATELY SORRY
TO HAVE LET EVERYONE DOWN.

AND YOU, FATHER,

YOU ESPECIALLY.

GUY, GUY, GUY, LOOK,
GO TO AFRICA IF YOU MUST,

BUT GO ALONE... BREAK OFF
THIS INSANE LIAISON.

THAT IS SOMETHING
I AM NOT PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT.

YOU WILL LOSE HONORSLOVE,
I WILL PROMISE YOU THAT.

AND WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
DOES THAT ACHIEVE FOR EITHER OF US?

WELL, BEARING IN MIND
YOUR OPINION OF INHERITED WEALTH,

IT HAS A CERTAIN
IRONIC JUSTICE.

IF THAT'S THE WAY
YOU WISH TO SEE IT, FATHER.

AT LEAST YOU WILL NOT
BRING THAT WOMAN HERE.

THAT WOMAN WILL SOON BE
THE MOTHER OF YOUR FIRST GRANDCHILD.

THAT WAS THE SECOND THING
I CAME TO TELL YOU.

YOU NEED NOT HAVE
TAKEN THE TROUBLE.

IT GIVES ME NO PLEASURE.

- I'VE CALLED GELLEN IN
TOMORROW TO REDRAFT MY WILL.
- HE WON'T LIKE TO DO IT.

WELL, DAMN THE MAN...
IT'S NOT UP TO HIM TO LIKE OR DISLIKE.

IN ONE SUICIDAL MOVE,
YOU'VE DESTROYED EVERYTHING
I EVER HOPED FOR YOU.

NO, NO, FOR YOURSELF,
FATHER, NOT FOR ME.

I BELIEVE I LOVE THIS PLACE
EVERY BIT AS MUCH AS YOU DO, SIR.

LOVE... ISN'T...
EVERYTHING.

ACTUALLY,
I AGREE WITH YOU.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,
YOU HAVE TRIED TO DISINHERIT ME

FOR AS LONG
AS I CAN REMEMBER.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S
PUTTING IT TOO STRONGLY.

THE LEGACY FROM MOTHER,
THE ILIAD MINIATURES, THE TITIAN.

CLEARLY,
LOVE ISN'T EVERYTHING.

YOU'VE ALWAYS SAID
YOU LOOKED TO ME TO MAKE UP
FOR YOUR OWN SHORTCOMINGS.

IT'S BECOME
SORT OF A JOKE BETWEEN US...

AS IF I COULD BE OLD
BEFORE MY TIME,

WHILE YOU COULD CARRY ON
BEING A CHILD FOREVER.

BUT I HAVE
MY OWN LIFE TO LEAD
AS BEST I CAN.

NOW, IF YOU CHOOSE TO SEE
NOTHING BUT DISHONOR IN WHAT
I'VE DONE, SO BE IT.

BUT IT WAS SHABBY OF YOU
TO BLAME MS. TESTVALLEY.

HOW DARE YOU.
HOW DARE YOU. GET OUT.

TO HELL WITH YOU.
JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

FATHER, ANNABEL AND I
WILL BE MARRIED IN CAPETOWN.

OUR CHILD WILL BE BORN THERE.
I INTEND TO MAKE A SUCCESS OF IT.

I NEED YOUR BLESSING.

OKAY.

OKAY.

WELL, I SHOULD BE
VERY MUCH IN DEMAND NOW.

EVERY DECENT FAMILY
IN THE LAND

WILL KNOW ME AS THE GOVERNESS
WHO FACILITATES ELOPEMENTS.

NOT QUITE THE DANGER
I'D ANTICIPATED FOR YOU.

WHEN I CALLED OUR GIRLS
THE BUCCANEERS,

I COULDN'T IMAGINE PIRACY
ON SUCH A SCALE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, ONE'S BEST CREATIONS
MUST HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN.

I'M PROUD OF EACH OF THEM.

OH, JACKIE...

THANK YOU
FOR TAKING ME IN.

I WON'T EMBARRASS YOU
BY STAYING ON.

WHAT WILL YOU DO,
MY DEAR?

OH, I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.

WELL, I'VE EARNED MY OWN LIVING
SINCE I WAS SEVENTEEN.

AND I'VE LIVED WITHOUT LOVE
FOR 40 YEARS.

I SHALL PROBABLY MANAGE
FOR ANOTHER 40

ON THE SAME TERMS.

YOU KNOW, JACKIE,

WHEN I SAW NAN AND GUY
RUN AWAY TOGETHER...

I NEARLY SCREAMED OUT LOUD.

I DON'T KNOW
IF IT WAS ENVY.

OR FEAR.

BUT IT WAS LIKE...

IT WAS LIKE SEEING THEM
TAKE A LEAP INTO SPACE.

? THIS IS CONSTANT
SAYING SUCH ?

? AS YOU TWO SHALL ADORE ?

? I COULD NOT LOVE THEE,
DEAR, SO MUCH ?

? LOVE THY, NOT HONOR MORE... ?

? I COULD NOT LOVE
THEE, DEAR, SO MUCH ?

? LOVE THY, NOT HONOR MORE. ?
