All language subtitles for The Onedin Line S03e13 The Passenger

Well, Baltimore, a pleasant enough
little town, as long as you keep out of

rough quarters.

Fifty dollars be enough?

More than sufficient, I should think,
thank you. Just sign here.

You can pay me back later.

Don't you trust me?

Matter of bookkeeping.

Don't, don't enter into it.

You produce everything with pounds,
shillings and pence.

The whole point of your voyage was
pounds, shillings and pence.

Yes, that was one purpose.

To wind up my husband's estate, sever
finally with the past.

Then I shall be free.

No commitment.

And no direction.

Although I never allow myself to be
blown about by the wind of time.

So what are you thinking?

Seinfeld.

To the future.

Oh, whose future? Yours or mine?

Perhaps both.

Oh, excuse me, sir. Ah, call in, Baines.

This is, uh, Mr.

Dragons. Ah. Excuse me. Oh, business
first.

I've been expecting you, sir.

Eden. Until later, James.

Uh, yes, yes, yes, sir. Mr. Dragons.

Thank you. The man was wondering about a
sub, sir. Every man of us ready to go

ashore spruced up in Jim Dandy. But
unless there's a dollar to jingle, the

crimps are going to tie some away with
promises of oars and brandy. I mean,

sight knows a man, and that's the last
we'll see of him. Yes.

Well, they'll wake up aboard a down
-easter Frisco band. I know, I know.

Right then.

Hard solid ahead, not a cent more.

I do.

Drink, Mr. Dragan.

Thank you.

We had intelligence of your arrival by
Atlantic telegraph.

Yes, what sort of cargo have you got for
me?

Punctual, very punctual. You made good
time.

It's a fast ship.

Baines is a driver.

Glad to hear it.

Tractor of the year to you, Captain.

Open as a book. Right, what have you got
for me?

Bullion and mail.

Steam packet, as usual, but, as usual,
the compounded contraptions bust the

guts. You've got 15 days to deliver. Can
you meet that obligation, sir?

Yes, since mail was carried by Sam.

No steamers available?

Oh, it can either have to be under
contract, but they've been withdrawn by

Admiralty.

Seems your government's a style uneasy
about the Suez Canal.

A choice bad plum to fall your way, not
likely to fall again.

Baltimore to Liverpool.

Well, with the following wind, I reckon
we'll do it in 12 days.

You'll need a strong roof.

For the bullion.

Gold, Mr. Neaton.

A million dollars worth.

Oh, do cheer up, Leonora.

James isn't the only man in the world.
No, but he's the only one I want.

It's your trouble.

No opposition. What are we to do with
her?

A hopeless case.

Hopeless?

Are you so set upon marrying James? Yes,
of course I am. Then we must take you

in hand.

It's now or never.

First, you must learn deployment and how
to conduct yourself in the presence of

a gentleman.

You must attract men as the flame
attracts moths to the... I don't want to

attract men. I want to attract Jane.
Then you must put yourself in our hands.

All right. What do I do?

Well, first of all, this hat.

And that dress.

What's wrong with this dress?

Well, it does not fit your colouring,
Leonora. And it's shapeless.

Who ever made this monstrosity?

Then you should send the creature to the
hole. He looked like something from a

rummage sale.

Rummage sale?

What do you think, Sarah?

I think we should start again from the
beginning.

A steering engine.

Aye. It operates by a system of
hydraulics.

No, it'll never work. You see, all the
pressure is applied here at the fulcrum.

Oh, it does work, Mr Fraser.

It's been operating aboard the Anor
Needin since the day she was fitted out.

It's her son's invention.

Ah.

Well, Albert always was ahead of his
time.

Oh, no, you don't follow.

Look, if a device like this were made
available to the shipping industry as a

whole, it would be worth a fortune.

You build ships, Mr Fraser.

You know full well that the weak point
of all steamships is the theories of

and chains connecting the wheel to the
auxiliary steering engine.

It's exposed to weather.

It only requires one link to snap and
the whole ship is helpless.

Now, Albert has resolved this problem by
replacing these rods and chains with

hydraulic fluid running in copper pipes
below deck and sheltered from the

weather.

It's never required attention since the
day it was installed.

Interesting.

But I need him on that ship.

Aye. But Albert owns the patent.

Of course he does.

But I fail to see what benefit this is
to me.

All to you, Captain Fogarty.

Those patent rights will lapse next
month, unless an extension is applied

Albert's in Argentina, James Orneed in
America.

That just leaves you.

And me, Mr. Fitz.

You must swell out more at the top and
less at the waist.

More? More.

More? Yes.

That's better.

I can't breathe.

Well, the measure of success is when
you're afraid to breathe.

Try walking across the room.

Head up.

Shoulders back.

I think we can make something of her.

Well, she does have certain attributes.
Yes, but that hair.

Here, sit down here.

On the chair, take it easy.

Now, Sarah, loosen these curls.

Oh, no, leave me alone.

What does it matter?

James is far away in America anyway.
Well, that's true.

Well, she must have someone to practice
on first. But who?

Oh, there must be someone.

What for?

To escort you. To parties, theatre.

To set tongues wagging. He must be
somebody single, unattached and

Oh.

Cousin Richard?

Cousin Richard?

Cousin Richard?

Bullion safely stowed?

I'm a two -armed watchman, standing
guard.

I'll be happy until we've got deep water
under the keel, though.

A million dollars' worth of the devil's
currency would tempt an anchorite off

his perch.

My anchorites are still ashore, wetting
their whistles.

I trust you'll be ready to sail with the
tide?

Aye, first light.

Good.

Would it inconvenience you to take
another passenger?

Who?

Myself. I have urgent business
commitments in London.

Your money's as good as the next
month's, I suppose.

That's settled.

To a successful and profitable voyage. I
just hope so.

It'll take more than hope to get that
crew aboard, sir. You've lost them.

Five dollars wasn't enough. They've been
shanghaied.

You changed up a little.

I remember you as the queen, young
fella.

Hosting the barracuda, am I right?

You've got a sharp memory, old man.

Never forget her face.

Or her debt.

And now you're in the patty to be
offered the mail for the queen of

Still well informed, eh?

Still made quite a front.

Now, let's get down to business then,
eh?

How much?

I can get you a prime crew.

Saltwater men to the teeth. Every man
check eager and willing to sail aboard

undead ship.

But I want my crew back. Randon, one
day's pay for a man in a township. It's

possible, Mr. Randon.

Your whole crews took a notion to wail.

You can't tell me.

Business is business, Mr. Randon.

And the source we are in a workplace.

In dire need, sir, dire need.

But I'm sure we can arrive at a
satisfactory arrangement.

Pretty good men, then.

That's me out of pocket.

Five dollars a hit.

You always did drive a hard bargain, as
I remember.

Will you take a little, uh, refreshment
while we discuss the day?

I'm myself aboard a Yankee bloodhound.

Halfway round the horn.

I don't want any beachcombers to set
such hopes.

Can you do it for me, old man?

Did you find our crew?

Good by, Lordy. Please come in.

to conduct you below, Mrs. Martin.

Thank you.

Don't go sober.

I want the ship on the way within the
hour.

Right, sir.

Now, Hogan, let's see how you can make a
jump.

Come on, you lazy, drunken load of
misbegotten scum.

Put some people into it.

Run. Run, let's see you jump to it.

Come,

sir. Thank you, Captain Webster. I have
quite sufficient.

Fine little girl of yours.

That's pretty enough.

as ever I did see.

Some lucky young fellow be hoisting his
colours and clearing for action before

she's my daughter.

My daughter is already bespoke.

I've given the matter long and careful
consideration and come to the conclusion

it is high time she was married to
someone of mature judgment and stable

character, an opinion reinforced by her
quite marvelous behaviour these last few

days. That breath, quite immodest.

Aye, to be cast up in a lee shore with
all that talk I've got.

You want to get a wedding and bedding.

That always takes a start out of the
stage. You have a quite disgusting turn

praise, Captain Webster, which I
tolerate only in consideration of your

years. Oh, you sanctimonious, preaching,
preaching clue of backsliders, don't

he? In any case, whatever I say, she
will have her way and marry the man.

Well, he'll not waste her on that
promising flop.

Of course not. I'm talking about Mr. O
'Neill. What?

Throw her away on that passable, you son
of a... It so happens that Mr. O 'Neill

is Leonora's choice. I shall discuss
terms with him on his return.

That

young

man's eyes were a goggle. Where's this
Tyrell Richard? He's hiding. Come, I'll

introduce you.

Cousin Richard.

Oh, Elizabeth.

Allow me to introduce you to Miss
Leonora Biddle.

Leonora, Richard O 'Needon.

How do you do?

Pleasure.

Leonora has long had a desire to make
your acquaintance, Richard.

You ask a great deal for what is
rightfully mine, Captain Fogarty. Your

Mr. Fraser. The patent is Albert's. It
belongs to Fraser. Not in law.

If James O 'Neill returns within the
month, he'll snap it up from under your

very nose.

Well, I suppose I owe you some
recompense for your information.

But a thousand pounds is a great deal of
money.

A drop in the ocean compared to the
value of those patent rights.

As you yourself can make no possible
claim, what's to stop me from simply

renewing the option on my son's behalf,
letting you whistle for your reward?

Sense of moral obligation.

I believe you to be a hard man, Mr.
Fraser.

What would you say?

Acceptance of your compliment is liable
to cost me dear.

You must have some reason for fixing
upon such a figure.

There's more than common greed behind
it.

It will enable me to make a new
beginning.

£1 ,000 is capital I can make a fresh
start abroad.

Oh.

Australia, I thought.

So, I am to capitalise the venture, am
I?

Very well, Captain Fogarty.

I dare say it's worthwhile, if only to
keep it out of all need in France.

What will you require?

Your authorisation.

And on the 15th of the month, I shall be
outside the door of those patent

offices waiting for them to open.

£1 ,000.

I'll deliver it.

Agreed.

Can it be a thought?

Hmm?

Oh, they're worth a deal more than that.

What are?

Patent rights.

What patent?

Well, I'm not rightly sure, but they're
worth a great deal of money to someone.

Oh, Robert, all you ever think of these
days is money.

Do you go to many parties, Mr. O 'Neill?

I'm sure you must be in great demand.

I'm, uh, I'm afraid I'm not one for the
social graces, really.

Mr. Spittoff? No, I think you're being
too modest.

I'm sure you dance like a dream.

Oh, I... Pardon me.

Miss Biddles, will you do me the honour?

Thank you.

Oh, handsome story.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I don't have
much ear for music. No, well, I think it

would be best if we continued our
conversation in the choir.

I'm away with you, Elizabeth.

Oh, no, Daniel, don't start that again.

Albert will never come back, you know
that.

We could go away and start a new life
together.

No, I've already told you.

Well, I couldn't earn enough money to
take care of you all again.

Well, I have money now.

Oh. Soon you'll have it.

Talk a bit later.

There's nothing to talk about.

I'm afraid you must find my company
rather boring, Miss Biddle.

Well, to be quite frank, yes, I do, Mr.
O 'Neill.

It's always the same when I'm in the
company of the fair effect.

I'm afraid I lose my wits completely.

Even with me?

The more beautiful the lady, the worse I
become.

Oh, poor Richard.

Hey, you wouldn't think it, but I'm
chairman of three companies and sit on

board of four others.

I'm not a silent member then.

No, indeed.

My fellow directors think twice before
they cross me.

But to have such authority in business
and to be in mortal terror of the weaker

sex.

Well, you see, I've had no social life.

What's that?

Whatever. No, no. My father believed in
keeping my dose of the grindstone.

He died when I was 19, and the
responsibility of the brewery fell on my

shoulders.

Well, I believe I've made a tolerably
good job of it.

Indeed, in time, I launched several
ventures of my own.

That sounds like a true Oneidan. Hmm?

Just like James.

Cousin James? Ah, now, there's a man
after my own heart.

Sharp as a needle. A man of considerable
attainment.

You know, I remember several years ago.
I was only a child.

Yes, go on, tell me about it.

I must be boring you.

No, you're not boring me.

What do people think? Just the two of us
sitting together? I think I'm

monopolizing you.

I don't mind being monopolized.

One more hour and we should be clear of
the Chesapeake heading for the open sea.

You make navigation seem so easy.

It is.

We calculate by applying the principles
of spherical trigonometry.

And it looks incredibly complicated.

That's all, Diane.

James, is she still uppermost in your
mind?

No.

But it was right when he said the memory
would fade.

You know, James, you really ought to
consider marrying again.

Why? You require a son.

Is that the only reason?

Yes. I think it's your only reason.

I already have a daughter.

Poor child.

She's well cared for.

Passed from hand to hand like an
unwanted parcel.

With a father who appears out of the
night like some fairy story old girl.

You know affection for her?

Can't help it.

There it is.

Though the memory has not completely
faded.

Poor James.

Yet you really must marry again.

I have thought of it.

And readily took no for an answer. And
no doubt if I were to ask again would

receive the same reply.

Oh, so you want the reply before putting
the question.

What are you afraid of, James? The
second rebuff?

Or that I might say yes.

Do you partake of cream or lemon,
Robert?

Milk.

Do you take sugar?

You know perfectly well I take sugar.

Oh, really, Robert?

Hey, press China?

We expect visitors.

If you mean are we entertaining, no, we
are not.

How could we possibly ask any guest to
partake of hospitality with all this?

And you and your shirt, please.

A man has the right to spread himself
from the privacy of his own home.

I'm busy.

Application and diligence are the true
hallmark of genius, I always say.

Patent rights.

That's what they're... Patent rights.

It'll be here somewhere.

What patents, dear?

Patents worth a great deal of money.

Something to do with a ship.

Our ship.

Oh, they're sharp, those two. Very
sharp.

I do think, dear heart, that your
perspicacity and acumen in matters of

are far... an excess of that by the Mr.
Fraser or Mr. Fogarty.

If only I knew what I was looking for.

The art of conversation forms one of the
greatest charms of modern society and

is therefore deserving of... Oh, for
heaven's sake, Sarah!

Hold your tongue.

Mr. Dragan, I see you suffer from the
same bump of curiosity as myself.

I personally will never make sense of a
chart.

Oh, well, that's quite simple, really.

Our noon position was 185 miles east of
Cape Charles. We're travelling due east,

coast hold on a port tack at an average
speed of approximately 12 knots.

Where did you acquire all this
knowledge, Mr. Dragan? At sea. I was a

mariner before my leg was crushed in the
fall.

Yes, well, I must leave you.

To your study, Mrs. Marsley.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon, Mr. Dragan. What did he
want?

Mr. Dragan was explaining our present
position to me.

Got no right in the chart room?

No.

Thank you, Mr. Lord Leader.

What am I to do with you?

Knock us on the head.

Chuck us over the side.

That was our intention.

Only something happened to change that
situation.

Drago was your navigator.

And now he's dead. We have a problem.

Now, one of you will navigate.

Now, the choice is yours.

All right, I'll do your navigation for
you.

Bunny, any threat, insult or injury,

I'll run the ship in circles.

I can read a chart, I needn't.

All right, then.

I say that's our position.

Now you prove it otherwise.

Our rendezvous is 2436 North by 7120
West.

About 800 miles from there.

Our noon position.

Now you've got four days, I needn't.

Your hand.

Ships disappear, Captain.

And the crew's with them?

They've been promised $1 ,000 a man.

If they live to collect it, eh? You
know, I've got a long fine of it.

Just fine.

Now, keep your eye on it.

I counted six mutineers.

The rest of the crew would have taken by
surprise as we were.

Must be expecting a small island
schooner.

Maybe off the Bahamas, eh?

Yeah, they don't want the ship.

It's the gold they're after.

So they'll sink the ship and us with it.

We've got four days.

And what of my son?

We'll take him with us.

To Australia?

We'll go as man and wife.

Who's to know?

I am to give up all this? An
accumulation of debts. It's a grave

new life.

At the other side of the world?

It's a wealthy country.

Well, what will you do?

Raise sheep.

Sheep? Yes.

Australian wool and Australian mutton.

Fortunes will be made and are waiting to
be made.

You'll never sold your hands, Elizabeth,
that I promise you.

What if Albert should return?

He'll never return.

And do you think he's been leading the
life of a monk?

You must give me time to think. No!

I need you, Elizabeth.

Oh, Daniel.

I must ask you, sir, to declare... Oh,
thank you.

to declare your intentions towards my
daughter.

Do you partake of sugar? One lump or
two? I go two.

Well, son?

My intentions are by no means as
unworthy as your suspicions.

Miss Leonora has just been kind enough
to honour me without company.

There is gossip, son.

Gossip. Do try some seed cake. It's from
a very old recipe and I would so

appreciate your opinion.

My daughter is utterly lacking in guile.
She cannot be expected to comprehend

the wiles and stratagems of idle
-tongued rumour mongers.

And the girl is never free of your
company, damn it.

I assure you that your fears are ill
-founded.

I tell you, sir, that there is gossip.

Seed cake.

Thank you.

Moreover, sir, you must be aware that it
is my avowed intention that she should

marry your cousin James, Onetus. Yes,
well, I am also aware that that is

Leonora's intention.

Honestly, I don't see myself in the role
of rival.

Yes, but I forbid you to continue this
association.

Ah, well, now, surely that must be a
decision up to your daughter. She will

me.

Oh, well, now, if you're going to play
the time... Now, don't you cross me,

young man!

Sauce for the goose, Mr. Bulldog, is
also reputed to be sauce for the gander.

And what is that supposed to mean? I
believe that you're in the process of

expanding one of your coal fields. You
borrowed substantially.

I hold your paper.

So don't you cross me.

I'm ready, Richard, dear.

Oh, dear, no.

Um, well, thank you, Sarah, for your
hospitality.

Mr. Priddles, it's been a pleasure. Good
day to you, Mr.

O 'Neill.

Ah, be in order.

We'll arrive at your rendezvous during
the first dog watch.

I'd satisfy you. You're up to something,
O 'Neill.

Oh, I'll keep my word.

As long as you keep yours.

I don't trust you and I don't trust
this.

You're crowded on sale and made fast
passage wide.

Well, now, isn't that what you require?

Now, if we don't cite this sooner, I'll
need you. You? All right.

Watson.

Time's running out.

It's all so open to you.

We should make our move now. No, no, no.
That's just what they expect.

Now then, the wind hold.

Bone steady from the west. Round a broad
reach, making about 30 knots.

Taking some camp as the sailor is close
to the wind as he can.

On the main and foreshore.

Now, I reckon that schooner will arrive
at the rendezvous early.

He'll be anxious not to miss us, you
see.

He'll patrol this area.

I don't want to come upon him until an
hour before sunset.

Why wait that long, sir?

You could have been killed out of six.

Only four mutineers left to worry about.
I mean, we can tackle four.

They're armed.

We're not.

Oh, no.

We'll let Hogan shorten the odds for us.

It's past three o 'clock. You'll wear
yourself out.

Oh, I don't know why you're going to so
much trouble.

They're up to something.

Hey, I never knew a ship carried so many
patents.

And why should that concern us?

Because there's money. A great deal of
money, one of them said. In Albert's

absence, it's company money.

Albert?

Now, now, wait a minute. Oh, come on,
can't it be? No, no, this rings a bell.

Hydraulic steering gear.

What is it?

Some sort of steering gadget.

Ah, and here's a note in Albert's
workbook.

Patent applied for...

Granted, quintennial option of renewal
on payment of five pounds.

Due on the 15th of September.

That's next week.

I shall confront Fraser.

That'll be your recognition signal, no
doubt.

A strange flag would only arouse
suspicion.

But who'd pay attention to an odd sail?

Very clever.

Ah, Mrs. Maudson.

We shall be sighting the school shortly.

Below.

They're sailing mighty close to the
wind, Captain.

So are you, Hogan. So are you.

Grant us that we know our business,
children.

The Hoban.

Come on, out you come! Quickly!

And you! Get a lock!

Send the sails!

Royals of Tick Island!

Come on, sail all the places there!

Sail all the places there!

Steal my ship, would you?

the time to hand you over to the
authorities, nor the inclination to keep

board.

Well, your friends can pick you up.

You can't set us adrift.

They'll never find us in the dark.

Try holding up a bit of red canvas.

Captain Baines, Liverpool in 11 days.

Must you go?

I'm afraid so.

I train these for London within the
hour.

I am sorry.

So am I.

But I am grateful to you for being as
unresolved in your intentions as I have

been. Unresolved?

Else you would have asked me again, and
more persuasively, and I might have said

yes.

And how wrong that would have been.

Oh, James, you know it as well as I.

That's why you didn't ask me.

We might have made a good partnership,
you and I.

But a poor marriage.

One's dependent on the other.

Perhaps.

But you need a loving wife, one who'll
devote herself to you and bear you sons.

I would chastise you at the breakfast
table for ill -treatment of your semen.

And leave your clothes unmended to go
off campaigning with Mr. Clemson.

Oh, on deck with that.

London, eh?

Well, I'll certainly keep you busy
there, eh?

Indeed, I hope so.

Shames only.

To my shame, when I look at you now, the
low opinion I held of you when we first

met, when you just saved my life.

I doubt if I shall ever meet a finer
man.

And there will be times in the future
when I shall punish myself for having

laughed away your offer of marriage.

But I was right, wasn't I?

Don't remain unresolved too long, Jay.

Leonora Biggles.

Snap her up before somebody else does.

Pretty made of me mind to do, Jessica.

Goodbye, then.

when you do propose to Leonore a bit of.

Make a better job of it than you did
when you paid your addresses to me.

Hello?

Elizabeth?

What is all this?

Elizabeth's leaving.

Closing the house?

Aye.

Did you bring the money?

Why, the devil, should I bring it here?

Will you stop that damn hammering while
I'm talking to you?

Robert came to see me.

He wants to apply for the patent rights
on behalf of the company.

The only way to put his nose out of
joint is to obtain Elizabeth's proxy.

Proxy? What proxy?

heard such a hullabaloo? What proxy?

Elizabeth, is this your luggage?

It is.

I am leaving for Australia with Mr.
Fogarty.

You adulterous little bitch!

Guard your tongue, Fraser.

If I were a younger man, I'd thrash you
within an inch of your life.

If you were a younger man, you wouldn't
dare.

You disgust me, madam.

You not only betray your husband, you
expect him to finance your damn paramour

into the bargain.

Not a penny piece, Damien, not a penny
piece.

Albert's money?

A thousand pounds that scoundrel
demanded to start a new life in

another man's wife, by God.

Albert's money? Whose pocket did you
think it would come out of? Mine?

It would be an advance against my son's
patent rights, that's all. Patent? What

patent?

It would seem you have not enlightened
the lady, Mr. Fogarty. What patent?

Worth a fortune and future royalty
payments.

Is this true?

It's a twisted version of the truth.

But we're not allowed to interfere with
our plans, right? Our plans?

Your plans, you mean?

You not only entice me to betray my
husband... You expect me to finance your

dumb sheep farming for the bargain?
Nonsense. It was a straightforward

accommodation. Straightforward indeed.

You knew all along that patent money was
mine.

Albert's. And only if the option was
renewed.

Sell my house. Go to Australia. Raise
sheep.

With my money, never.

Just how far has this affair progressed?

This far and no further.

Forget it.

You heard what Elizabeth said.

I suppose I must accept your word for
what it's worth.

Sign here, Elizabeth.

And here.

That's for you, Mr. Fogarty.

And you still have a mind to emigrate?

I am.

Alone? Do I have any choice?

For heaven's sake, Elizabeth, always
read before signing.

Take your Judith money and yourself to
the devil.

Come along, Elizabeth.

We're going home.

Home? What else?

Disposed of this establishment, haven't
we?

You can live with us until Albert
returns.

Meanwhile, this skeleton will remain
firmly locked in the closet.

Goodbye, Liz.

Cousin Richard.

He's taking her to the op. Ah, you must
remember Cousin Richard. He's in

brewing. Ah, and he's worth a pretty
penny.

Oh, Robert's trying to persuade him to
buy some shares at the shop. James, I,

uh... I think we ought to tell you that
Cousin Richard and Leonora have been

seeing quite a bit of one another whilst
you've been away.

Have they?

So? Well, Leonora is a very attractive
young woman. Yes, I am aware of that.

not expected to waste a young life
waiting around for you to propose to

you're not.

That's why I'm here to talk to her.

Do you mean your coin, yes?

I am.

Steve!

Leonora! I heard you've shipped with
him.

Aye. Well, Sarah, it's Charlotte's
bedtime.

We'd better see about your bath.

We'll see you later, James.

Well, did you have a good voyage?

It was not uneventful.

But it gave me time to reflect upon a
certain matter. My goodness, you are

looking elegant, James.

Why, thank you.

I'm sorry, you were saying reflect upon
a certain matter.

Aye.

Upon you and I.

Now, I know I should have made up my
mind... There we are.

I promised myself I wouldn't make
excuses for not having asked you before.

Leonora... I want you to be my wife.

Would you like me to repeat that? No,
no, no, please, don't.

I'm sorry, James. Forgive me.

It's just that I'm overwhelmed. I
didn't... I didn't expect this.

Well?

What do you say?

James, I'm very honoured that you should
have asked me, but I cannot accept.

Cannot?

Lillian, a cousin, James?

A young cousin, Richard?

And... Leonora, we mustn't keep the
carriage waiting. No, Richard, I shan't

moment, please.

You see, James, since you've been away,
Richard and I... Well, the bands are to

be read on Sunday.

Isn't it extraordinary?

I didn't mean for it to happen like
this, not at all.

But Richard just swept me off my feet.

Well, no, that's not quite true.

You see, I... I began by feeling sorry
for him.

Then I started to respect him.

And now I'm in love with him, Jane.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well, uh... Best not keep him waiting,
eh?

No.
