IT ALL BEGAN WHEN I TOOK UP
MY POST AS THE ST. GEORGE
FAMILY GOVERNESS

IN NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND
IN 1873.

THE PHILANDERING
LORD RICHARD

FOUND THE BRAZILIAN BEAUTY
CONCHITA CLOSSON BEWITCHING,

AND PROMPTLY MARRIED HER,
ONLY TO DISCOVER

SHE WAS NOT THE HEIRESS
HE ASSUMED.

IT OCCURRED TO ME
THAT MY OWN YOUNG CHARGE,

ANNABEL ST. GEORGE,
AND HER SISTER VIRGINIA

MIGHT BENEFIT
FROM AN ENGLISH SEASON.

AND I DECIDED TO INTRODUCE THEM
TO LORD RICHARD'S FAMILY.

MISS ST. GEORGE...

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN YOU
FOR AN AMERICAN.

BUT SURELY IN LORD SEADOWN'S CASE
THAT WOULD BE ONLY TOO EASY.

YOU'RE FORGETTING
THIS RETCHED ENTANGLEMENT
OF HIS WITH IDINA HATTON.

MY LOVE...

I AM OLDER AND WISER THAN YOU
AND I KNOW NOTHING OF THE KIND.

ANNABEL, MY OWN
SPECIAL FAVORITE,

FELL IN LOVE WITH GUY THWAITE
AT FIRST SIGHT.

ENGLAND'S MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR,
BUT FOR HIS LOST INHERITANCE.

WITH THE HELP OF MY AMERICAN
FRIEND JACKIE MARCH,

WE INSTALLED OURSELVES IN
IDINA'S IDYLLIC RUNNYMEAD COTTAGE,

WHERE A SURPRISE VISIT FROM
THE VIVACIOUS LIZZY ELMSWORTH,

VIRGINIA'S ARCH RIVAL,
MADE MY LITTLE BAND COMPLETE.

OH, WELL,
ANOTHER BUCCANEER.

- A WHAT?
- OH, THAT'S WHAT
MISS MARCH CALLS YOU...

- THE BUCCANEERS.
- THE BUCCANEERS?

- YEAH.
- WHY?

BECAUSE SHE SAYS,
THE ENGLISH INVADED AMERICA,

- NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.
- DON'T YOU JUST LOVE IT?

CHEERS TO YOU.

LET ME HELP YOU, LIZZY.

- A GIRL CAN JUMP, YOU KNOW.
- I'M SURE YOU CAN.

DON'T FORGET
THE CHAMPAGNE, MILES.

DARLING, I'M AFRAID
YOU CAN'T LAND SEADOWN.

I'M SORRY I EVER
MENTIONED IT TO YOU, BUT

THAT BOY CAN'T BE SERIOUS
ABOUT ANYTHING.

DON'T WORRY, I DON'T WANT HIM. HE HAS
FAR TOO HIGH OF OPINION OF HIMSELF.

YOU'RE A TERRIBLE LIAR.

YOU RATHER LIKE HIM,
DON'T YOU?

IT'S ONLY BECAUSE YOU THINK
YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM.

DID YOU SEE
HOW YOUNG MILES COLORED UP

WHEN I ASKED HIM
TO COME BACK TO THE HOUSE?

I KNOW HE HAS
NO MONEY, BUT...

HE'S RATHER A POPPET,
DON'T YOU THINK?

LORD SEADOWN IS HERE.

YOU'RE NOT SURPRISED,
ARE YOU?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

ONLY, IDINA FORBADE HIM
TO COME HERE.

HMM.

BUT ISN'T FORBIDDEN FRUIT
ALWAYS THE SWEETEST?

LIZZY ELMSWORTH IS
VERY STYLISH, ISN'T SHE?

HAS IT OCCURRED TO YOU
THAT SHE MIGHT BE MORE
TO LORD SEADOWN'S TASTE?

VIRGINIA, AFTER ALL,
MIGHT AIM SOMEWHAT HIGHER.

ONE, TWO, THREE...

FOUR, FIVE, SIX...

SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN.

YOUR GRACE,
I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.

SEADOWN IS HERE...

OH, AND DO YOU KNOW
HECTOR ROBINSON?

OH, YOUR GRACE.

OH, CERTAINLY,
LADY RICHARD.

MR. ROBINSON...

YOU ARE THE MAN WITH
THE BUTTON, ARE YOU NOT?

- THAT IS SO, YOUR GRACE.
- WELL, PERHAPS YOU COULD
EXPLAIN TO ME.

YOU SEE, I CERTAINLY
CAN'T MAKE ANY SENSE OF IT.

WHAT EXACTLY IS
A TORY DEMOCRAT?

AH-HA.
HE IS A DEMOCRAT, YOUR GRACE,

BECAUSE HE BELIEVES
IN THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE,

AND A TORY,
BECAUSE HE KNOWS

THE ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS
OF THE COUNTRY

AND THE BEST MEANS
BY WHICH TO ACHIEVE IT.

OPPORTUNISM AND HYPOCRISY,
MR. ROBINSON, THAT'S ALL THAT IS.

COME ON, COME ON...

WELL...

I'VE JUST GOT TO...

I'VE JUST...

COME ON, COME ON,
PUT HER THERE.

FOLLOW ME, COME ON.
COME ON.

YOUR GRACE.

I DO APOLOGIZE.
THIS MUST LOOK VERY SILLY.

I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US.
IT'S GREAT FUN.

COME ON, GET A DRINK.

THE RULES ARE,
IF I PAWN YOU...

BLINDFOLD JULIUS.

YES, VERY GOOD.

PLEASE, EVERYONE MUST
EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU.

BUT YOUR GRACE, YOU'RE MISSING
ALL THE FUN, REALLY.

OH, THAT'S A SHAME.

- WELL, WHO'S NEXT THEN?
- MILES, COME ON.

IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF
BECOMING A RECLUSE, MOTHER.

I SIMPLY DO NOT ENJOY
THE SENSATION OF BEING
HUNTED FOR MY TITLE.

YES, DEAR,
SO YOU HAVE ALWAYS SAID.

ALWAYS?

SINCE YOU WERE
OF AN AGE.

THE FIRST WORDS YOU EVER SPOKE
WERE "TICK-TOCK".

- IS THAT SO?
- OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN "CLIP-CLOP".

I DOUBT IT... I'VE ALWAYS
LIKED CLOCKS RATHER MORE
THAN HORSES.

I DO SOMETIMES FEEL, JULIUS,
THAT YOU HAVE LIKED CLOCKS
MORE THAN ANYTHING.

MY DEAR, I AM SURE

THAT NO ONE ON MY GUEST LIST
IS HUNTING YOU DOWN FOR YOUR TITLE.

MUST YOU GO?

YOU SPEND FAR TOO MUCH TIME ALONE
IN THAT GLOOMY OLD PLACE AS IT IS.

AH, IT'S
OUR ANCESTRAL PAST.

NO...

I SHALL GO DOWN
TO TREVENICK TOMORROW.

I HAVE THE PLANS
TO GO OVER WITH CARTWRIGHT.

I WILL NOT BE HUNTED.

NAN, PLEASE
STOP FIDGETING.

VAL, YOU KNOW WHAT THE TROUBLE
WITH GINNY IS,

IS THAT ALL SHE'S INTERESTED IN
IS THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

AND THE CLOTHES THEY WEAR,
AND THE CARRIAGES THEY DRIVE,

AND THEN THE PEOPLE THEY KNOW,
AND THE CLOTHES THEY WEAR.

- WELL...
- AND THE CARRIAGE...

AND WHAT ARE YOU
INTERESTED IN?

I DON'T KNOW.

THE PAST,

BUILDINGS MOSTLY.

HOUSES, YEAH...

I LOVE TO SEE
HOUSES SO ANCIENT

AND SO LOVELY THAT PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN THEM, THEY HAVE THEM
IN THEIR BONES.

THAT'S AN ODD EXPRESSION.
DID YOU FIND IT IN A BOOK?

NO.
IF YOU REALLY MUST KNOW,

GUY THWAITE SAID IT
ABOUT HONORSLOVE.

I HAVE A LITTLE PLAN.

I THINK WE MIGHT
GO AWAY FOR AWHILE.

- WE?
- YES, JUST YOU AND ME.

I KNOW A LITTLE PLACE
IN CORNWALL

WHERE WE CAN GO SEABATHING
AND LIVE LIKE GYPSIES.

OH, VAL.

I SHOULD LOVE THAT.

GOOD.
THEN I SHALL ARRANGE IT.

VAL.

- HERE.
- NAN.

- IT'S GLORIOUS.
- GOOD.

- NAN, BE CAREFUL.
- I WILL.

I'M SO SORRY.

- DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU.
- YOU DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T REALIZE
THERE WAS ANYONE HERE.

WELL, I DON'T WISH
TO DISTURB YOU.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

THE PLACE DOESN'T
BELONG TO ME, YOU KNOW.

INDEED.

I'VE SEEN YOU
SOMEPLACE BEFORE.

YES, I...
RUNNYMEAD.

I'M NAN ST. GEORGE.

AND YOU ARE...

I KNOW, UM...

MR. ROBINSON.

OH, DEAR...

I CAN SEE YOU'RE
NOT MR. ROBINSON.

I'M SO SORRY, IT'S HATEFUL TO BE
TAKEN FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

ESPECIALLY MR. ROBINSON.

I'M SORRY.

WELL...

OH.

NO, I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED
YOU WERE ONE OF THOSE RUSTLING
YOUNG WOMEN AT RUNNYMEAD.

- THEY'RE ALWAYS SO NOISY.
- THEY ARE RATHER.

I CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH
OF THAT SORT OF THING...

APPLE PIE, BILLARDS,
MURDER AND PILLOW FIGHTS.

AND THEY ALL DRINK
AND SMOKE SO MUCH.

OH, BUT THIS,

THIS IS GLORIOUS.

DIDN'T YOU SAY
THE WOMEN SMOKE?

CERTAINLY THEY DO,
ALL OF THEM.

LIKE FOREST FIRES.

- I SMOKE LIKE A FOREST FIRE.
- DO YOU?

- I'M SURE IT'S BAD FOR YOU.
- DO YOU THINK?

YES.

ANNABEL.

OH, THAT'S MY GOVERNESS.

I REALLY MUST GO.

- WILL SHE BE ANGRY?
- DREADFULLY.

- MAY I SEE YOU BACK?
- IF YOU LIKE.

WALK ME TO THE TOP.

NAN, HOW MANY TIMES
MUST I TELL YOU,

NOT TO TALK TO STRANGERS.

HE'S NOT A STRANGER.
HE'S BEEN TO RUNNYMEAD,

AND HE SAYS HE LIVES
SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE.

THERE HE IS, STILL.

GOOD GRACIOUS,
THAT'S THE DUKE OF TREVENICK.

- NO.
- YES, OF COURSE IT IS.

WELL, OF COURSE...
THIS IS ALL TREVENICK LAND.

- NAN, DON'T STARE.
- HE SEEMS SUCH A CHILD.

LET'S HOPE HE THOUGHT
NO WORSE OF YOU.

HE THOUGHT
I WAS WONDERFUL.

AND HE'S SENDING HIS
FLYOVER TOMORROW AT 4:00 TO
TAKE US BOTH TO TEA.

DID YOU INVESTIGATE
CONNIE'S FINANCES AT ALL, DICK?

BEFORE YOUR ENGAGEMENT,
I MEAN.

I WAS IN LOVE WITH CONNIE.

SHE'S PREGNANT, BY THE WAY.

- AN IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
- OH, YEAH.

CONNIE AND I DO MEET UP
FROM TIME TO TIME.

YOU BETTER
GET A MOVE ON.

MAYBE THE NEXT LORD BRIGHTLINGSEA,
SHE'S CARRYING.

I'VE HAD BLAIR LOOK
INTO THE ELMSWORTHS
AND THE ST. GEORGES.

AND...?

THE ELMSWORTHS ARE SO-SO.

BUT COLONEL ST. GEORGE REALLY
IS THE THIRD RICHEST MAN
ON WALL STREET.

IF A MAN MUST GRUB AROUND
TO MAKE A LIVING,

I SUPPOSE ONE DOES PREFER HIM
TO DO IT SUCCESSFULLY.

SO, WHAT ARE
YOU WAITING FOR?

I DON'T SEE YOU
THRIVING ON MARRIAGE.

BUT THEN, MAYBE THE TRICK IS
NOT TO BE IN LOVE WITH ONE'S WIFE.

AND THE HAWK LIFTED
THE CHILD OUT OF THE CRADLE,

- FLEW IT OUT OF THAT WINDOW THERE.
- Oh, no.

YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE CRIES
OF THE DISTRESSED MOTHER
CARRIED BY THE WIND.

- REALLY?
- YEAH.

YOU KNOW, MY FATHER
WAS COMPLETE... OH, PLEASE.

- THAT ONE, PLEASE.
- THIS ONE HERE?

- THANK YOU.
- YEAH.

MY FATHER WAS COMPLETELY
UNABLE TO FULFILL ANY OF MY
GRANDFATHER'S AMBITIONS HERE.

I'M DETERMINED TO RESTORE
TREVENICK TO ITS FORMER GLORY.

- OH, WHAT A FINE AMBITION.
- THANK YOU.

MY MOTHER DISAPPROVES
OF THE RESTORATION PLANS.

SHE FINDS THE WHOLE AREA
RATHER GLOOMY.

NO, I THINK IT'S
WILD AND GRAND.

YOU KNOW, I PREFER IT
TO LIVING IN LONDON ANY DAY.

YOU CERTAINLY HAVE
QUITE AN APPETITE.

YES.

IN SOME OF
THE EARLY FAMILY STORIES,

IT SAID ONE OF MY FORBEARERS
MET HIS DEATH FALLING FROM
THIS WINDOW.

WHO KNOWS, IT IS
A FEARFUL LONG WAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOUR GRACE,
FOR A MOST ENTERTAINING AFTERNOON.

BUT IT WAS MOST DELIGHTFUL
TO MEET YOU BOTH, MS. TESTVALLEY,

- MISS ST. GEORGE.
- THANK YOU, JULIUS.

- YOU'RE GOOD.
- WALK ON.

CONNIE...

CONNIE, WHO IS THAT?

THAT, I THINK,
IT MUST BE YOUR LANDLADY.

GINNY,
YOUR LANDLADY IS HERE.

MILES, YOU'RE HERE.

- LADY RICHARD.
- YES, AND YOU MUST BE
MISS HATTON.

MY TENANTS, I SUPPOSE.

- MISS ST. GEORGE...
AND MISS ELMSWORTH.
- HELLO.

I'M IDINA HATTON,
YOUR LANDLADY.

WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA
TO HAVE TEA OUT HERE...
IN THE BREEZE.

LORD PERCY,
LIEUTENANT JAMES.

OH, AND LORD SEADOWN...

YOU'RE HERE TOO.

NOW I SEE WHY YOU FORGOT
YOU WERE HAVING LUNCH WITH ME
IN TOWN TODAY.

BUT I MUST SAY,
YOU CHOSE THE BETTER PART.

LONDON IS A FURNACE.

WELL, AREN'T YOU GOING
TO OFFER ME A CIGARETTE?

BUT YOU MUSTN'T LET ME
INTERRUPT YOUR PLANS.

I'VE HEARD
WHAT AMUSING THINGS
GO ON HERE.

I MAY AS WELL CONFESS,
I'M DREADFULLY KEEN TO
LEARN YOUR SECRETS.

DARLING, SO MANY
DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE

ALREADY KNEW THEIR WAY
TO THE COTTAGE THAT THERE
WAS NOTHING FOR US TO DO

BUT LEAVE THE DOOR UNLATCHED.
THERE ARE NO SECRETS HERE.

EXCEPT... PERHAPS...

BUT YOU MUST REMEMBER
THAT THIS IS A SECRET.

ESPECIALLY FROM MAMA ST. GEORGE,
TAKING HER SIESTA UPSTAIRS.

WHAT ABOUT PUTTING THIS TABLE
TO ITS PROPER USE?

AH.

CARDS.
HOW JOLLY.

NO WONDER
MY POOR LITTLE COTTAGE
HAS BECOME SO POPULAR.

- POKER?
- OH...

HOW VERY WICKED.

BY ALL MEANS,
LET'S PLAY POKER.

SEADOWN, YOU MUST
COME TO MY RESCUE.

LEND ME FIVE POUNDS,
DARLING.

I HOPE I WON'T LOSE
MORE THAN THAT.

AH. OH, HEAVENS, SEADOWN,
WHAT WEALTH.

HOW WILL I EVER BE ABLE
TO PAY YOU BACK IF I LOSE?

OR EVEN IF I WIN?

AREN'T YOU GOING
TO JOIN US?

NO, THANK YOU.
I PREFER TO WATCH.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE
TO GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY, GINNY.

I DON'T MIND IF I DO.

THANK YOU.

MAYBE WE'LL BE ABLE
TO FLEECE ONE OR TWO
OF THESE HARDENED GAMBLERS.

AT EASE, IT'S ONLY HECTOR.

BASTA.

FIVE.

I'M OUT.

HERE'S FIVE.

AND I'LL RAISE YOU FIVE.

I WILL SEE YOUR FIVE.

FULL HOUSE.

THAT'S IT,
A STRAIGHT FLUSH.

BAD LUCK, MY DEAR.

OH, LIZZY,
YOU LITTLE DEVIL.

IT WAS LUCK, REALLY.
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS PLAY THE CARDS.

CERTAINLY
TAUGHT ME A LESSON.

SEADOWN'S LAST COPPER
AS WELL AS MY OWN.

YOU'RE TOO CLEVER FOR ME.
SOMEBODY BETTER TAKE MY PLACE.

COME NOW, IDINA,
DON'T LOSE HEART.

PARTING WITH MY HEART HAS
NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM, CONCHITA.

IT'S THE SHILLINGS AND PENCE
I CAN'T AFFORD.

COME, MISS ST. GEORGE,
IF MISS HATTON REALLY IS
GOING TO DESERT US...

NO, REALLY, GIRLS DON'T
PLAY CARDS FOR MONEY
IN AMERICA.

NO, I UNDERSTAND THE GAME
YOU YOUNG LADIES PLAY...

IT HAS FEWER RISKS
AND REQUIRES ONLY TWO PLAYERS.

NOW, I'M SORRY TO BE
SUCH A SPOILSPORT,

BUT I REALLY MUST INSIST ON
CARRYING SEADOWN OFF.

THE FACT IS, SEADOWN, IT'S ABOUT TIME
YOUR HOSTESSES FOUND OUT YOU
DO NOT GO WITH THE HOUSE.

IDINA.

WE MUSTN'T ALLOW
THESE YOUNG LADIES TO FEEL

THAT YOUR VISITS ARE MADE
ON THEIR ACCOUNT, MUST WE?

EVERYONE KNOWS AMERICAN GIRLS
LIKE TO FLIRT.

PERHAPS THEY NEED
A LESSON IN GOOD MANNERS.

VIRGINIA, WHAT ARE
YOU WAITING FOR?

DON'T YOU SEE THAT LORD SEADOWN
HAS NO RIGHT TO SPEAK UNTIL YOU DO?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM
AT ONCE THAT HE HAS YOUR
PERMISSION TO ANNOUNCE...

I DON'T KNOW, THAT HE HAS
YOUR PERMISSION TO ANNOUNCE
YOUR ENGAGEMENT.

SEADOWN...

MISS HATTON IS SUCH AN OLD
FRIEND OF MINE, VIRGINIA.

I'M SURE SHE WILL BE THE FIRST
TO CONGRATULATE ME,

IF ONLY YOU WILL TELL HER
THAT SHE MAY.

OH. OH.

WE MIGHT HAVE BETTER
STAYED IN NEW YORK, MISS MARCH.

OH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT ALL MEANS.

IT MEANS, MY DEAR,

THAT VIRGINIA IS GOING TO BE
THE FIRST MARCHIONESS OF ENGLAND.

OH.

OH.

YOU MEAN THAT LORD SEADOWN

IS GOING TO BE THE "MAR-KEY"
OF BRIGHTLINGSEA?

MAR-QUIS.
YES, MY DEAR.

OH, THEY HAVE SO MANY NAMES.

I GET THEM ALL MUDDLED.

I THOUGHT THAT LORD PERCY

WAS GOING TO BE
THE MARQUIS OF BRIGHTLINGSEA.

NO, MRS. ST. GEORGE.
LORD PERCY IS NOT A BRIGHTLINGSEA,

AND FORTUNATELY IS NOT
GOING TO BE THE MARQUIS
OF ANYTHING.

BUT... OH, DEAR.
OH, DEAR, LOOK AT POOR CONCHITA.

LORD RICHARD, HE DRINKS.

AND RUNS AROUND.

AND, WELL, SHE NEVER
SEEMS TO HAVE...

SHE NEVER SEEMS TO HAVE
ENOUGH MONEY.

OH, BUT SEADOWN
IS THE GOOD SON,
MRS. ST. GEORGE.

HE'LL NEVER
GIVE VIRGINIA ANY TROUBLE.

OH.
OH, MY GOODNESS.

WE MUST SEND A TELEGRAM
TO THE COLONEL IMMEDIATELY.

OH, I WANT HIM TO TELL
ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE

HE KNOWS IN NEW YORK
ALL ABOUT OUR VIRGINIA.

I WANT THEM ALL TO KNOW.

OH, I WANT MRS. PARMORE
TO GO MAD WITH ENVY.

WHOA.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
YOUR GRACE.

- ELSE ANYONE ON HAND?
- NO, SIR.

THAT IS, YES.

CAN YOU BE SO GOOD
AS TO ANNOUNCE ME?

NO, I'M SORRY,
I DON'T GIVE A TOSS
FOR YOUR REASONS.

I'D HAVE SOONER DIED
THAN SELL THE TITIAN.

DAMN YOU, STANDING THERE
WITH THAT SUPERIOR LOOK
ON YOUR FACE.

YOU WAITED TILL MY BACK
WAS TURNED.

RUBBISH. MR. PLEASANTS
HAPPENED TO BE IN THE AREA.

I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT.
YOU EXPECTED ME TO BE WELL OUT OF IT.

- MR. PLEASANTS, SUPPORT ME.
- NOT A WORD, MR. PLEASANTS.

YOU EXPECTED ME
TO BE IN LONDON, SIR.

AND I CALL THAT COWARDLY
AND UNDERHANDED.

IF YOU WOULD ONLY BE QUIET
FOR ONE MINUTE.

I WILL BE DAMNED
IF I WILL BE QUIET,

ONLY TO HAVE YOU
TELL ME A PACK OF LIES.

WHATEVER IS
THE MATTER, MAMA?

SEADOWN IS TO MARRY
AN AMERICAN.

- SEADOWN?
- YES.

HE USED TO BE HERE SO OFTEN
AT ONE TIME THAT I HAD HOPED...

LET ME SEE.

YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL
THAT SEADOWN HAS BEEN

IDINA HATTON'S
PROPERTY FOR YEARS.

AND NOBODY'S HAD A CHANCE
AGAINST HER.

NOBODY BUT SOME
ODIOUS AMERICAN GIRL.

I DARE SAY
THE AMERICANS USE MEANS

THAT WELL-BRED ENGLISH GIRLS
WOULDN'T STOOP TO.

I WISH I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'VE MET MISS ST. GEORGE.

SHE IS WONDERFULLY
BEAUTIFUL.

AND I DARE SAY,
SHE HAS MONEY.

I CAN NAME SEVERAL ENGLISH GIRLS
WHOSE SETTLEMENTS WOULD MATCH
THAT OF ANY LITTLE AMERICAN.

WHY NOT JUST MARRY ME TO
A ROTHSCHILD AND HAVE IT DONE?

MR. THWAITE, YOUR GRACE.

GOOD MORNING, DUCHESS.
LADY GERTRUDE.

HAVE YOU HAD BREAKFAST?

I HAVE,
THANK YOU, YES.

I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE
FOR YESTERDAY.

MATTER OF FACT,
I JUST NARROWLY AVOIDED
A SIMILAR SCENE.

I COULDN'T HAVE BORN
ANOTHER MINUTE UNDER
MY MOTHER'S ROOF.

NOR I UNDER MY FATHER'S.

PLAGUE ON BOTH THEM.

WHAT SAY YOU
WE CALL IN AT RUNNYMEAD,
AND GO SEE MISS ST. GEORGE?

THAT'S A SPLENDID IDEA.

THE REASON I COULDN'T
SEE YOU THE OTHER DAY,
I'VE HAD SOME NEWS.

POOR OLD MR. HORACE IS AS GOOD AS DEAD.
HIS DOCTORS GIVE HIM SIX MONTHS.

NATURALLY, WE'VE AGREED,
THE LOCAL MEMBERS AND MYSELF,

TO CALL A BI-ELECTION AT
THE FIRST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY.

I'M ASKING YOU TO STAND, GUY.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

ISN'T THAT WHAT
WE'VE ALWAYS PLANNED?

YES, IT IS.

BUT YOU MUST KNOW,
I CAN DO NOTHING FOR MYSELF NOW.

FINANCIALLY, YOU MEAN?
I WOULD SEE TO YOUR EXPENSES.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, JULIUS.

WELL, YOU MUST AT LEAST
EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

MY REASON FOR GOING
UP TO LONDON NOW IS TO TALK
TO THE RIALTO COMPANY

ABOUT WORK ON THEIR RAILWAYS
IN SOUTH AMERICA.

OH...

I SEE.

WHY SOUTH AMERICA?

I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
TO SECURE HONORSLOVE.

THERE'S NO OTHER COURSE
OPEN TO ME.

SEADOWN FOUND A WAY.

POOR OLD SEADY.
BITTEN THE BULLET AT LAST.

WELL, PRETTY BULLET.

I MET THE YOUNGER
MISS ST. GEORGE RECENTLY.

- OH?
- BY CHANCE, AT TREVENICK.

I SHOWED HER OVER
THE OLD PLACE, SHE SEEMED
TO LIKE IT RATHER.

I TOLD MYSELF I'D LOOK FOR
AN ENGLISH GIRL EXACTLY LIKE HER.

I'M SURE IF NOT MISTAKING
THE COPYING,

I BELIEVE I SPENT RATHER
TOO LONG STUDYING THE ORIGINAL.

I SHALL NOT
CALL UP RUNNYMEAD WITH YOU.

I'M IN NO MOOD FOR FLIRTING.

BESIDES, SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY
HAS TO BE ABLE TO RESIST A PRETTY FACE.

BUT YOU KNOW I DON'T INTEND
TO STAY IN SOUTH AMERICA FOREVER.

I'M ONLY GOING AWAY
THE BETTER TO COME HOME.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

TO YOU, SIR.

OH, I'M SO SORRY,
YOUR GRACE,

BUT THERE'S
NO ONE HERE TO GREET YOU.

- EVERYONE IS IN LONDON.
- YOU ARE HERE.

YES, I...

AND MISS ANNABEL,

WILL SHE REMAIN IN LONDON
AFTER THE WEDDING?

OH, MISS ANNABEL WILL NATURALLY
GO HOME TO AMERICA WITH HER PARENTS.

SURELY, YOU KNOW,
SHE'S OUT NOW,

SO, HER PARENTS ARE
VERY ANXIOUS FOR HER TO HAVE
A FIRST NEW YORK SEASON.

HAS IT MATTER SUCH THINGS AS
A NEW YORK SEASON.

YOU MUST ASSUME,
MS. TESTVALLEY...

THAT IS TO SAY...

I HAVE DECIDED...

YES?

I INTEND TO ASK
MISS ANNABEL TO MARRY ME.

WELL, ARRANGING MARRIAGES IS
NO PART OF MY DUTIES, YOUR GRACE.

BUT IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK
TO MRS. ST. GEORGE...

OH, NO, I DON'T.
UH...

I UNDERSTOOD THAT IN AMERICA,
IN WAS THE CUSTOM TO SPEAK TO
THE YOUNG LADY HERSELF.

BUT KNOWING HOW CLOSE YOU ARE,
HOW FOND YOU ARE OF MISS ANNABEL...

YES, I AM VERY FOND
OF ANNABEL.

I NEED TO KNOW IF HER FEELINGS
CORRESPOND IN ANY DEGREE TO MINE.

I REALLY CAN'T ANSWER THAT.

YOU MEAN,
SHE HASN'T SPOKEN TO YOU?

ANNABEL IS IN SO MANY WAYS
STILL A CHILD.

SHE JUDGES A LOT OF THINGS
AS A CHILD WOULD.

YES.

YES, IT'S...

IT'S HER CHILDISH INNOCENCE,

HER INDIFFERENCE TO MONEY,
AND THAT ALL SORT OF THING, THAT
I VALUE SO IMMENSELY.

YOUR GRACE...

I ONLY WANT YOU
TO UNDERSTAND THAT...

NAN MAYBE ONE THING NOW,

BUT IN A YEAR OR TWO,

SHE MAYBE SOMETHING
ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT.

AND THAT IS WHY
I SOLEMNLY ADVISE YOU TO WAIT.

PLEASE, GIVE NAN TIME
TO GROW UP.

SIX THOUSAND, YOU SAY?

SIX THOUSAND A YEAR,
AND VIRGINIA'S JOINTURE
IS TO BE BUT 1,300.

NO, SIR.

IN THOSE VERY PARTICULARS, NO.

WRONG END.

LEFT HAND
BEHIND YOUR BACK.

HMM...

STILL, IN ALL, LORD BRIGHTLINGSEA,
YOU ARE A MAN I COULD DO BUSINESS WITH.

YES, SIR, I SAW THAT THE FIRST
MOMENT I CLAPPED EYES ON YOU.

ADDED TO WHICH...

WE EACH HAVE SOMETHING
THE OTHER ONE WANTS.

AND IF THAT'S NOT A GOOD BEGINNING,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

FOR INSTANCE, LORD BRIGHTLINGSEA,
I HAVE AN ELECTRIC COMPANY.

YOU HAVE A TITLE.

OH, I HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU, DARLING.

OH.
OH, MAMA.

? ON WINGS OF SONG
I'LL BATHE THEE

? ON WAY TO FAIRYLAND

? WHILE EYES MY SWEET
SCENTED GARDEN

? ARE WAITING
FOR THEM TO PASS

? THE MOONBEAMS
ARE FILLING MY GARDEN...

- VERY NICE, THANK YOU.
- HELLO, NICE TO SEE YOU.

? YOU WELCOME THEE TONIGHT... ?

VERY NICE, VERY GOOD.
FINE.

I GUESS THIS MUST BE
CONNIE'S FRONT PARLOR.

YES, YES.

LORD RICHARD.

WE MEET AGAIN.

AND I AM HAPPY AND PROUD
OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

LADY RICHARD...

- VERY NICE TO SEE YOU.
- NICE TO SEE YOU TOO.

WHO IS THAT
COMMON-LOOKING MAN?

THAT IS HECTOR ROBINSON,

LIZZY ELMSWORTH'S FUTURE
HUSBAND, I SHOULDN'T WONDER.

OH, DEAR.

ACTUALLY,
HE'S RATHER GOOD NEWS.

GOOD NEWS OR NOT,
SOMEONE SHOULD EXPLAIN
THE FORM TO HER.

OH, I DON'T THINK LIZZY
NEEDS ANYTHING EXPLAINED.

I THINK SHE'S WAITING TO SEE
HOW HE TURNS OUT.

YOU.

- LADY BRIGHTLINGSEA.
- MY DEAR.

AH, MR. ROBINSON.

NO DOUBT YOU'LL DO VERY WELL,
YOUNG MAN.

YOUR GRACE.

JULIUS.

MR. THWAITE.

- I DID SO HOPE YOU'D BE HERE.
- OF COURSE I'M HERE.

SEADOWN AND I WERE
AT SCHOOL TOGETHER.

OH, OF COURSE.

EXCUSE ME, YOUR GRACE.

LORD RICHARD.

MS. TESTVALLEY,
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO SIR HELMSLEY THWAITE.

SIR HELMSLEY,
MY GOVERNESS MS. TESTVALLEY.

OR VAL AS I CALL HER.

I'M OUT, YOU KNOW, BUT I,
I WON'T LET MS. TESTVALLEY GO.

DELIGHTED,
MS. TESTVALLEY.

AND SIR HELMSLEY'S SON,
MR. GUY THWAITE.

- MS. TESTVALLEY.
- PLEASURE.

THERE, NOW YOU'VE BOTH MET
MY MOST FAVORITE PERSON
IN THE WORLD.

OH, REALLY, ANNABEL.

NO, WHAT A WONDERFUL
COMPLIMENT.

MS. TESTVALLEY ADORES
THE PRE-RAPHAELITES, SIR HELMSLEY.

I PROMISED HER A VISIT
TO HONORSLOVE TO SEE YOUR ROSETTI.

ANNABEL, YOU'VE DONE
NO SUCH THING.

NO, NO, A YOUNG LADY
MUST ALWAYS KEEP HER PROMISES,

ESPECIALLY THOSE
SHE ONLY MAKES TO HERSELF.

TO BE FRANK, MR. ROBINSON,

YOU ARE
THE FIRST ENGLISH GENTLEMAN

THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS
WHO SHOWS ANY SIGNS
OF ANY GET-UP-AND-GO.

DO I?

LORD BRIGHTLINGSEA HAS
DONE ME THE IMMEASURABLE HONOR

OF LENDING HIS TITLE TO MY COMPANY.
- RIGHT.

I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THAT'S
WORTH IN THE UNITED STATES.

BUT HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO RAISE
ANY CASH IN THIS COUNTRY?
NO, I HAVE NOT.

NO, I KNOW.

CURIOUS THING.

THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS ENGLAND
TO BE A GREAT COMMERCIAL SUCCESS

BUT I'M WARNING YOU,
LOOK TO YOUR LAURELS,

OR THE GERMANS
WILL HAVE THEM.

OR... YOUR COUSINS
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

- MY LORD.
- AHH... SIT.

THE COLONEL BELIEVES ENGLAND
IS IN DANGER OF LOSING
THEIR GREATNESS.

AH, DOES HE?

WE CANNOT LET THAT PASS
WITHOUT A FIGHT, CAN WE?

AH, I BLAME
THE YOUNGER GENERATION.

IT IS MORE LOST.

AH, DAMN IT,
THEY CAN'T EVEN CURSE.

AND THERE'S
THIS INDECENT CRAZE
WITH DEMOCRACY.

I'VE BEEN SAYING,
COLONEL,

OUR TROUBLE IS ALL BLAMED
ON THE WEST.

NOT THE LEAST,
BAD WEATHER.

WITH YOUR DAMNED
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.

I DON'T SEE YOU BEING
MUCH TROUBLED BY DEMOCRACY.

DAMNED ITALIANS.

- I CAN'T JUST LEAVE THE GUESTS.
- IT'S OUR PARTY, MY DEAR.

FOLLOW ME.

THERE'S A BOOK
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU.

LET ME SEE...

A SECRET DOOR.

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S THE WEST WING.

PROBABLY NOBODY'S
BEEN UP HERE FOR 20 YEARS.

WE USED TO TERRIFY OURSELVES
PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK IN HERE
WHEN WE WERE LITTLE.

I'M NOT SURPRISED.

MY ANCESTORS
SPENT SEVEN FORTUNES

ON THE FURNISHING
AND DECORATION OF THIS WING.

THIS WAS ONCE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL BALLROOM IN THE LAND.

LEFT TO MOLD.

- SO SAD.
- WHY IS IT LEFT LIKE THIS?

BECAUSE, MY DEAR,
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO DO IT UP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT?

JUST THAT... MONEY.

- DO YOU RECALL THE FILTHY STUFF?
- MM-HMM.

I SCARCELY DO, FOR WE
HAVEN'T HAD ANY FOR AGES.

WHEREAS YOU...

WHAT'S THAT QUAINT EXPRESSION
YOU USE IN AMERICA?

TIN... ISN'T THAT
WHAT YOU CALL IT?

WHEN ALL THIS HAS BEEN
RESTORED TO ITS FORMER GLORY,

THEN PERHAPS
WE MAY RENAME IT, HMM?

THE ST. GEORGE WING.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?

OR DOES THAT SOUND RATHER
TOO MUCH LIKE A HOSPITAL, HMM?

YOU'RE AWFULLY QUIET, MY DEAR.

IF YOU NEED MONEY, WHY DON'T
YOU SELL SOME OF THE PAINTINGS
YOU NEVER LOOK AT?

BECAUSE MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER,
WHO DISLIKED AND DISTRUSTED
HIS CHILDREN...

QUITE RIGHTLY,
AS IT TURNED OUT...

PLACED ALL THE BRIGHTLINGSEA
TREASURES IN TRUST.

IF...

OH, IF THE FLOOR OF THIS BALLROOM
WERE PAVED IN GOLD,

I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO DISPOSE OF AN OUNCE OF IT.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU'VE
MARRIED ME FOR MY MONEY?

OH, NOW, CALM DOWN.
I THINK WE HAVE A FAIR EXCHANGE.

WHAT ABOUT US?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

OH, YOU MEAN LOVE,
I SUPPOSE.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

YOU'RE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I EVER SAW.

BYE-BYE, GOOD LUCK.

OH, IMMEASURABLY.

LAURA, PUT IN A GOOD WORD
FOR ME WITH CONNIE, WILL YOU?

WHY SHOULD I DO THAT?

BECAUSE, DAMN IT,
SHE WON'T EVEN SPEAK TO ME.

TWO YEARS AGO,
YOU PROMISED ME

THAT YOU WOULD RATHER DIE
THAN HARM A HAIR ON THAT
GIRL'S HEAD.

BUT EVEN NOW, WHEN SHE'S
EXPECTING YOUR FIRST CHILD,

YOU DO NOTHING
BUT HUMILIATE HER AND NEGLECT.

IT'S NO WONDER
SHE WON'T SPEAK TO YOU.

PAPA.

- BYE.
- GOOD LUCK.

BYE-BYE, GOOD LUCK.

OH, NAN, I WISH YOU WOULDN'T
GO BACK HOME AND DESERT ME.

GINNY.

I JUST WISH YOU
COULD COME WITH, THAT'S ALL.

I LOVE YOU.

- GOODBYE, DARLING.
- YOU'LL BE HAPPY.

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER,
RICHARD.

GOODBYE, DARLING.
BON VOYAGE.

GOODBYE, GINNY.

- BYE-BYE, GINNY.
- GOODBYE.

I'D FORGOTTEN HOW
VERY BEAUTIFUL IT IS.

YES, ISN'T IT?

AND HOW COME YOUR FATHER
KNEW ROSETTI?

BOTH OUR FAMILIES
WERE ITALIAN EXILES.

- AH, SO YOUR NAME...?
- YES.

LAURA TESTVALLIA.

IT'S QUITE BEYOND THE SCOPE
OF ENGLISH LIPS.

IT'S GIVEN ME
A VERY STRONG SENSE OF...

FELLOW FEELING FOR OUTSIDERS.

AND HENCE YOUR LOYALTY TO THIS
LITTLE BAND OF AMERICAN EXILES?

YES.

I COULD ALMOST
ENVY YOU, MS. TESTVALLEY.

THE FREEDOM OF THE OUTSIDER,
AS YOU PUT IT,

IS NO DOUBT TOUGH,
BUT REAL...

OH NO,
YOU'RE QUITE WRONG.

NO, OUTSIDERS HAVE
EVEN LESS FREEDOM.

WELL, ONE FALSE MOVE,
PARTICULARLY AS A WOMAN,

AND ONE IS CONSIGNED
TO OBLIVION.

WELL, I STAND CORRECTED.

I'VE SO ENJOYED
BEING HERE AGAIN.

I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU HERE,
MISS. ST. GEORGE.

THANK YOU.

UNFORTUNATELY, I SHANT
DO SO AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

BECAUSE TOMORROW
I'M GOING AWAY.

I'M GOING TO SOUTH AMERICA,

TO BUILD A RAILWAY
FROM RIO TO CORDOBA.

IT'S VERY EXCITING,
DON'T YOU THINK?

SOMETHING A MAN CAN
REALLY THROW HIMSELF INTO.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE
TO BUILD A RAILROAD
FROM RIO TO CORDOBA?

WELL, MY INITIAL CONTRACT
IS FOR TWO YEARS.

I SEE.

OF COURSE,
NOW THAT GINNY IS MARRIED,

I SHALL BE RETURNING
TO NEW YORK.

YOU MUST BE
LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

NOT ONE LITTLE BIT.

IT'S ALL VERY WELL
FOR MEN, YOU SEE, BUT...

MISS ST. GEORGE?

WHAT IS A WOMAN
TO THROW HERSELF INTO?

WELL, MOST WOMEN THROW THEMSELVES
INTO MARRIAGE, DO THEY NOT?

YES, I SUPPOSE SO.

BUT YOU ARE...
A LITTLE YOUNG FOR THAT?

I'M EIGHTEEN.

MOTHER WAS EIGHTEEN
WHEN SHE WAS MARRIED.

WELL, DID SHE REGRET IT?

OF COURSE NOT.

WELL, IT'S NOT SOMETHING
ONE CAN TAKE FOR GRANTED.

JUST NOW YOU SEEM
TO RECOMMEND IT.

MARRIAGE...

WELL, IT DOES RATHER
DEPEND ON WHO ONE MARRIES.

I CERTAINLY DO NOT
RECOMMEND CHILD BRIDES.

CHILD BRIDES GROW UP
EVENTUALLY.

I MEAN TO SAY...

YOU KNOW, MY MOTHER,
YES, SHE GREW UP.

WHY DID YOU NEVER COME
TO RUNNYMEAD?

YOU MOVE IN CHARMED CIRCLES,
MISS ST. GEORGE.

MY FAMILY HAS
NEITHER A LONDON HOUSE
NOR A LONDON ALLOWANCE.

REALLY...

YOU KNOW, I FIND THAT
VERY HARD TO BELIEVE.

GRACIOUS, HOW SOLEMN
YOU BOTH LOOK.

WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT REGRETS, MS. TESTVALLEY.

REGRETS?
AT YOUR AGE?

RIDICULOUS.

ANNABEL.

- ANNABEL.
- HMM?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING,
DARLING?

I HOPE I CAN AT LEAST KEEP
MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF.

IT'S DARLING.

OH, LOOK AT HIS BIG FEET.

LOOK AT THOSE BIG FEET.

WHAT A TIGER YOU ARE.

HE'S FOR YOU...
A PRESENT.

FOR ME?
WHY?

HOW AM I GONNA TAKE YOU HOME?

HOW AM I GONNA TAKE YOU
HOME WITH ME?

I WANT YOU TO STAY.

- I WANT YOU TO MARRY ME.
- YOU LIKE THIS?

IT'S TRUE.

WHAT?
I'M SORRY, WHAT DID YOU SAY?

OH, UH... MA'AM.

WHAT?

MARRY ME, ANNABEL.

PLEASE, MARRY ME.

YOU WERE BORN TO BE PRINCESS
OF TREVENICK CASTLE.

THERE'S NO OTHER WOMAN
IN THE WORLD FOR ME.

YOU KNOW THAT,
DON'T YOU?

PLEASE, MARRY ME.
