00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,440
He must not strain
his nervous powers.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,080
Do not tell him of the seriousness

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,080
of his condition.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,120
I don't think that Mr Ladislaw
should come here.

5
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:17,680
Whatever you say, my dear.
But who are WE to forbid him?

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,480
Every chance you get, you waste!

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:27,040
<font color="
could I marry a man I can't respect?

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,080
I want you to be my wife.

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,320
Oh...

10
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,360
THUD-THUD!

00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Missy!

Missy!

00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,040
It's three o'clock in the morning

<font color="

16
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,000
I made two wills.

17
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,040
One of them is in the closet chest.

18
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,480
I want you to take it out
and burn it.

19
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440
No, sir. I cannot do that.

20
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,600
You must!

21
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:07,520
No, I can't. It would lay me open
<font color="
your brother and sister come again.

00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,240
No! Now!

Look, Missy,

24
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440
take this money - all of it -

25
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,160
the notes AND the gold.

26
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Only do as I say.
No, I won't, sir.

27
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,800
I won't touch the will or the money.

This is the only chance.

29
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Look, it's pretty nigh £200.

30
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,960
Nobody will know how much there was.
Take it, and do as I tell you.

31
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,960
Put away your money, sir. I won't
touch it. I will do anything else...

32
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,000
Anything else?!

BELL TOLLS

00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,480
How extraordinary!
Who CAN they all be?

37
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,680
Oh, there's Lydgate as doctor,
I suppose.

Oh, that's a really
fine-looking young woman

Sir James, do you know them?

Mayor Vincy...

41
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800
They're probably
his son and daughter.

A decent family. >

You've seen Vincy at my house.

One of your secret

Ho-ho-ho(!)

47
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,280
..who sucks the life
from the hand-loom weavers.

48
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:08,560
That's how his family
look so fair and sleek.

49
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,960
He's a sound man - Vincy.

00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,400
He looks happy enough.

<font color="
No-one THERE seems to be sorry.

53
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Dodo, you never told me
Mr Ladislaw has come again!

54
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,240
Ah, yes. He came as my guest.
He puts up at Tipton.

55
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,760
An excellent young man.
He writes well.

56
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,600
I'd be glad
<font color="
at The Pioneer, you know. I see.

57
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,400
So, he writes political speeches(?)
Did I not mention him, Casaubon?

58
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,920
I asked him some time ago,
when you were ill.

59
00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:00,160
Dorothea said you couldn't have
<font color="

60
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,840

61
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:08,080
We brought the portrait of yourself
in the semblance of Thomas Aquinas.

62
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,080
I knew you'd be pleased!

63
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,240
Ladislaw!

Here he comes.

68
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Excellent. Excellent.
Here he comes.

69
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,240
There.

70
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,360
There you are, to the life -

71
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,240
a deep, subtle thinker,

72
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,800
drawing attention
to our ultimate destination.
Symbolism, you see.

<font color="

74
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,080
I went into all that a great deal
once - solidity, transparency.

75
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520
I like it up to a point,

76
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
but it's a bit straining.

77
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,800
The flesh is good, though.

78
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,200
The flesh is good.

00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,040
INAUDIBLE WHISPERS

< Ahem!

84
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:48,040
Now, the will I hold here in my hand

85
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:48,040
was drawn up by myself

86
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:48,040
on 9th August 1825.

87
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,840
But I find there is a subsequent
will, hitherto unknown to me,

88
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,440
executed in March 1828.

89
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720
<font color="

90
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,360
I shall begin...

91
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,920
..by reading the earlier will,
as such appears to be
the deceased's intentions.

92
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,560
"To each of my brothers and sisters
who survive me,

93
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600
"I bequeath the sum of £200.

94
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,480
"To my nephews and nieces,

"To Mr Borthrop Trumbull,
£50, and my gold-headed cane.

00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,440
"To Mr Frederick Vincy,

98
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,360
"£10,000.

00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,440
"The whole of the residue
of the estate -

100
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,480
"the house known as Stone Court,

101
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,480

00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,040
"who will take henceforth
the name of Featherstone."

104
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,120
But there's a second will.

105
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Yes, the deceased's final wishes.

106
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,360
The second,

107
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,920
and most recent document,

108
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,960
revokes all the bequests
of the earlier will.

<font color="

110
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,880
It leaves Stone Court
and the lands to Joshua Rigg,
with the former conditions.

111
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,640
But the remainder of the estate

112
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,160
is to be devoted to the erection and
endowment of almshouses for old men,

..whatsoever.

MRS VINCY SOBS

117
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,520
The most unaccountable will
I ever heard.

If I'd known, a wagon and six >

119
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600
wouldn't have drawn me here.

120
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,960
It'll do him no good.

121
00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:00,560

Come, Lucy.

hypocritical old man.

Don't make a fool of yourself,

But what's a fellow to do?

00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,520
I thought I'd be able
to pay your father back.

And what shall YOU do now?

134
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Find another situation.

I'm sorry, Fred.

I hope you've decided
to pass that examination!

You built too much
on your expectations.

It weren't the poor boy's fault
that wicked old man deceived him!

Fred will turn out well yet. And
where is there a girl like Rosamond?

Dr Lydgate could have had the highest

Everybody's ruined! And I doubt
Lydgate has a farthing to his name.

I shall just have to spend
more time there myself.

00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Papa has been saying that
our engagement must be given up.

180
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,080
But, why?

181
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,760
YOU don't want to give it up?

182
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,480
<font color="
that I choose to do.

183
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,720
Good!

184
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,480
This is the house.
It belonged to old Mrs Bretton.

185
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,120
I've always longed to live here.

186
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:32,840
And it's so near the hospital.
Papa says it's too expensive
for a doctor.

187
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,680
<font color="

188
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:43,880
Oh...! I wouldn't have you,
like Dr Minchin's wife, in a poky
little place. Damn the expense!

189
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,560
I'll use my patrimony.

190
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:55,080
You shall have everything

191
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:55,080
that is proper for a lady to have.

192
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:55,080
And, Rosy...

193
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:02,040
<font color="
Oh, Tertius. We'll buy
the new clothes afterwards.

194
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,080
Wedding clothes AFTER the marriage?!

195
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,520
Would you deny me

196
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,520
for the sake of a few clothes? No.

197
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:14,400
I shan't be happy...

00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,280
Congratulations.

201
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,240
Now that's over,

202
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,920
we can
enjoy ourselves!

203
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,200
< Handsome couple, though.
No denying that.

204
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,200
Handsome is as handsome does.
I wouldn't wed a girl of mine to him.

He never!

< Knife was poised
when her brothers burst in, I heard.

Handsome, though.

210
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,440
Very smart, both of 'em.

211
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,320
Come and congratulate the happy pair!

212
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,440
I'm thankful,

< I've never liked strangers
coming in, putting on airs.

My Nicholas

216
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,520
and we are told to entertain
strangers, are we not?

Good day.

220
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,440
Vincy's had to dig deep!

221
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,440
You think he's got a bargain?

222
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:38,920
With Lydgate?! No better
than Brooke got with The Pioneer, and
that young rogue he's got to edit it.

223
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:45,720
<font color="
for parliament, with his protege
to puff him in The Pioneer!

224
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Who is he?
Some young sprig from London?

225
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,680
HAWLEY: His name's Ladislaw.

226
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:59,360
A foreigner. He'll begin with
the rights of man, and end up
<font color="

227
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,640
Aye...

228
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,480
LADISLAW:
"The Pioneer considers this to be
a time when the country's needs

229
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:13,120
"might overcome
the reluctance to public action
by men of breadth of mind,

230
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:19,760
"whose dispassionateness

"The electors of Middlemarch
would be fortunate indeed
to secure his services."

232
00:17:26,360 --> 00:17:32,760
Aye, that's good.
"Dispassionateness tempered
by intelligence and energy."

233
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,840
I like that.
<font color="

I wanted to take.

00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,520
Ah. I'll see you

238
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,520
at dinner, then.

239
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,520
With pleasure, sir.

240
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Very well, Peter. >

THE COACH MOVES OFF

242
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,880
Master's out, sir,
<font color="
will gladly see you.

243
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Very well. I wouldn't want

244
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,560
to be a nuisance, though.

245
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,560
In the library, sir.

246
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:34,800
I'm so glad to see you.
I came for the chance of talking
to you alone, like I did in Rome.

247
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,640
It seems strange how much I said
<font color="

248
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,320
And you spend all your days shut up
indoors with these? Not all my days.

249
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,240
Not all the hours in any day.
And I'm happy to be here.

250
00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:00,680
You look so much paler now. Get your
husband a secretary, then you could
<font color="

251
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:07,320
I should have no happiness
if I didn't help him.
I was his secretary for a while.

252
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,560
It is not a post to have suited you.

253
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Nor did it suit Mr Casaubon.

254
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:19,160
Perhaps you were not
<font color="

255
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:27,280
And I don't think Mr Casaubon
likes anyone to overlook his work,
or know too thoroughly what he does.

256
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,520
He's...too uncertain of himself.

257
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:36,400
I made the mistake of offering him
my opinions. He dislikes me for that.

258
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,040
<font color="

259
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,640
Yet he overcame his dislike of you
to act on your behalf.

260
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,200
Yes, he has shown a sense of justice

261
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,200
in family matters.

262
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:55,040
He understood how abominable it was

263
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:55,040
for my grandmother to be disinherited

264
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:55,040
for loving a poor man.

265
00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:01,280
<font color="
from wealth to poverty.
Do you know much about her?

266
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,960
She married for love, that's all.

267
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,320
My grandfather's only fault
was being a Polish patriot

268
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,840
who had to give music lessons
for his living.

269
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,560
<font color="

270
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840
My mother ran away from HER family,
too.

271
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,360
Went on the stage, in fact.
I come from rebellious blood...

272
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:27,160
..on both sides! And your father?
I remember him very little.

273
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,080
He died when I was very young.

274
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,520
<font color="

275
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,440
I remember him playing the violin.

276
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,760
And I remember...his slow walk.

277
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,880
And I remember his long, thin hands.

278
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:53,520
Once, he'd been lying in bed for a
long time - I think he was very ill -

279
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:59,800
and all I could think of was
<font color="
a little piece of bread.

280
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,480
He made himself known to Mr Casaubon

281
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,080
shortly before he died...
That was our last hungry day.

282
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,480
Such a different life from mine.

283
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,000
I've always had
too much of everything.

284
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:22,520
<font color="
satisfied working with my uncle?

285
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Oh, for the time being. There's work
to do here and I belong nowhere else.

286
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,160
But if you think I shouldn't stay,
I'll go.

287
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,080
I should like you to stay very much.

288
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Then, I WILL stay.

by Mr Casaubon.

290
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:55,160
I spoke without thinking
of anything but my own feelings.
Can't you wait for him?

291
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,160
No, I can't wait today.
Your uncle's expecting me.

292
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,680
I feel the need to use my body.

293
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,640
A five-mile walk to Tipton
<font color="
is just what I require.

294
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,480
Goodbye.

295
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,000
Goodbye.

296
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,720
CARRIAGE APPROACHES

297
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:42,400
Did you find the bishop well,
Edward? Tolerably well, my dear.

298
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,160
He spoke handsomely of my recent
<font color="

299
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,600
in terms it would not become me
to repeat.

300
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,120
That's wonderful news.

301
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,720
I wish you'd been here earlier.

302
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,960
Why so, my dear?

303
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,000
Because Mr Ladislaw has been here.

304
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,720
You missed him by a few minutes.

305
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,400
Indeed?

306
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,320
<font color="

307
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,120
It appears that Uncle has bought
one of the Middlemarch newspapers,

308
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,880
and has asked Mr Ladislaw
to conduct it for him.

309
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,320
Now that he is independent
of your financial support,

310
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,800
he is seeking some fixed occupation.

311
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:31,440
<font color="

312
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:31,440
because nobody cares for him

313
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:31,440
elsewhere.

314
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,600
And did Mr Ladislaw come on purpose
to ask my opinion?

315
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,240
Well, he didn't say THAT...

316
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,640
..but of course he expected me
to tell you of it.

317
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,960
<font color="
Edward?

318
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,640
No, thank you. Not at present.

319
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480
Then, may I talk to you a little?

320
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,080
Certainly.

321
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:25,440
I've been thinking all day
about money...

322
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:34,000
..that I've always had too much
and, especially now
<font color="

323
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,080
the prospect of too much.

324
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,640
I've been thinking
about your Aunt Julia,

325
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:50,040
how she was cut off only because
she married a man who was poor.

326
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:54,720
And about her grandson, Will...
your cousin.

327
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,920
It isn't right that he should live
<font color="

328
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,480
And Mr Ladislaw
has been speaking to you

329
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,960
on this subject?

330
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,600
No.

331
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,120
Edward,

332
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,640
you did what you thought was right.

333
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,760
But it seems to me
that more than that is right.

334
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:25,640
<font color="
the money to enable him
to take his place in society.

335
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Then he need not take on employment
that might be beneath him.

336
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,880
Edward?

337
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Surely his claim is just...
Dorothea, my love!

338
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,760
This is not the first occasion

339
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,800
<font color="

340
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,800
that is beyond your scope!

341
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:53,000
It is not for you to interfere
between me and Mr Ladislaw,

342
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:00,800
still less to encourage
communications between him and you
criticising MY procedure!

343
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:23,280
"Dear Mr Ladislaw,
<font color="
of a proposal made for you.

344
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:29,120
"Your acceptance of this proposal
would be highly offensive to me.

345
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:32,160
"There are certain social proprieties

346
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:39,600
"which should hinder a near-relation

Pompous old fool!

Freedom is a noble thing, eh?

It is, sir. And in short supply.

There will be someone

exceptionally lovely in it tonight.

365
00:27:54,440 --> 00:28:01,440
Did you stay here often? Yes,

So, how do you like
Quallingham?

Oh, I think it is
the loveliest place
I have ever been in.

369
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:21,840
Do you? You have
a lusher countryside
in Loamshire.

<font color="
Quallingham for weeks together.

00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:35,960
Oh, if I were ever to live here,

372
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:35,960
I think I should die from happiness.

373
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:35,960
Well, we don't want THAT!

374
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:42,640
You intend continuing in Middlemarch,

Odd profession for a gentleman.

I would like us to remove to London
or perhaps to Bath. An amusing place.

00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,160

Really(?)

382

Good hunting about, I understand.

383
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,320

wouldn't we, Tertius? Oh, yes...

387
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960
Yes, of course.

388
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,800
What about this nonsense
of Brooke standing for parliament?

389
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,840
He'd be roasted alive
<font color="

390
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,880
He's the worst landlord
in the county.

391
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:50,040
One is bound to do
one's best for one's tenants,
especially in these hard times.

392
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,040
He should take Caleb Garth on again

393
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,040
as his agent.

394
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,560
Since he got rid of him,
<font color="

395
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:03,040
I think of getting him to manage
for ME. He's an excellent man.

396
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:09,000
There might be some hope if Casaubon
didn't take Dorothea up entirely.

397
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,520
She should visit her uncle!
SOMEONE has got to teach that man
some sense!

398
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,560
<font color="
you won't come in with me, James?

399
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:27,600
No, you'll do better on your own,
Dorothea. But, do remember,
you must be cruel to be kind.

BROOKE: ..For next week's editorial.

Mr Ladislaw.

402
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Mrs. Casaubon.

403
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,360
Dorothea!

< No...

408
00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:00,480
Now, did Chettam say that?
He's a little hasty, you know.

409
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,920
I never said I should do
any such thing.

410
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:10,240
But you mean to enter parliament
<font color="

411
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,120
Yet your tenants live in squalor.

412
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,480
Come on...
Think of Kit Downs, Uncle.

413
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,600
His family live in the back kitchen,
leaving the other rooms to the rats!

414
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Uh.. Yes, what is it, Mrs Kell?

415
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,200
The keeper's caught Dagley's boy,
<font color="

00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,400
Has he?!

417
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,160
A leveret? Well...

418
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,800
I must talk to the boy's father.

419
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:41,360
Dorothea, will you come with me as
far as Dagley's cottage? Of course.

420
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,680
Uncle...?
I shall let him off lightly.

421
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,320
<font color="

422
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:55,960

00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:55,960
at the front of the house, Mrs Kell?

424
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:55,960
You know to bring him round the back!

425
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,800
You do know that Mr Casaubon
has forbidden me to visit you? >

426
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,080
No...

427
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,120
No, I did NOT know.

428
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,120
<font color="

429
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,400
Do you intend to stay at Tipton?

430
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,720
Yes. I shall hardly ever see you now,

431
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,480
or hear what you're doing.

432
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,040
No, but I shall hear of YOU
from my uncle.

433
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,720
And, as for what I shall be doing,

434
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,720
my life is very simple.

435
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,200

Please don't say that!

00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,160
I have no longings...

439
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,440
..except...

440
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,840
Except what?

441
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:04,000
I have so much more than my share
without doing anything for others.

442
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:12,040
MY religion is to love what is good
and beautiful...when I see it.

How long my uncle is!

00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,080
I must go and look for him.

Chettam finds fault with me
over gates and repairs.

448
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,760
He wants me to go fancy-farming!

449
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,960
<font color="
as easy over rent arrears as I am.

450
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,360
I'm uncommonly easy. I'm well known
for going easy. Treasured for it.

451
00:33:55,360 --> 00:34:00,360
I know it, but if the estate had
proper professional management...

452
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,600
Well...

453
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,400

Mr Brooke, is it?

460
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:32,880
Yes... Well, Dagley...your lad,
Jacob, has been caught poaching.

461
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,480

00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,040

464
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,400
You must reprimand him.

465
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,720
I won't!

466
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:47,640
Good day to you, Mrs Dagley.

467
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,000
I won't leather my boy

468
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,840
Not if you were twenty landlords...
Now, I did not mean the stick, no.

give a stick towards mendin'!

Worst landlord in the county.

471
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,000
He's been to market, sir,
and taken liquor.

472
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,320
< He don't mean any harm, sir.

473

Come the reform,

You're drunk, you know.
<font color="
Good day to you, Mrs Dagley.

Aye, that's it, go on!

00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,160
Make yourself scarce!

DAGLEY CONTINUES TO YELL AFTER BROOKE

485
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:58,280
What's happened, Uncle?

486
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,960
We chose a bad time. The man is

487
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,920
He was most uncouth.
He quite overstepped the mark.

488
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:17,880
But, you know, my dear, reflecting
on Chettam's notion that Garth
should take over the management,

489
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,920
you see...

490
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,400
..he has an eye for detail

492
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:30,480

Thank you.

Rosy... More dress material?!

501
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,400
You bought the dearest wine glasses
after all!

502
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,680
It wasn't expensive, Tertius.
And look...

503
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,160
It does suit me, doesn't it?

00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,800
Yesterday he came
and poured himself out to me.
He's going away again.

522
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,280
He's so miserable
about his debt to you

523
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,200
that he can't bear
to come and say goodbye.

And to keep Mary at home.

531
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,240
Good.

I'm delighted for you, Caleb!

535
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,320
This is just the news
to tell Fred Vincy.

536
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,680
Mr Casaubon?

537
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,160
Dr Lydgate.

538
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,160
I am exceedingly obliged to you.

Mythologies, at present uncompleted.

It is, I believe,
all that I will be remembered for.

00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,720
And, were it necessary,

545
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:22,080
I would wish to leave it behind me

547
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,840
You have not implied to me that my
symptoms are those of a fatal disease

548
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:43,680
but...were it so, such knowledge
would be very useful to me.

549
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:50,000
Mr Casaubon, with diseases
of the heart, it is difficult
<font color="

550
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,840
You may live a comfortable life
for another 15 years...

551
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,560
..but it is my duty to tell you
that death is often sudden.

552
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,600
I see.

553
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,720
One more thing I have to ask you.

554
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:17,520
Did you communicate
any of this to Mrs Casaubon?
<font color="

555
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:20,760
Thank you.

556
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,920
Such a rare and beautiful day.

00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Thank you, Dr Lydgate.

00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,120

Were you waiting for me? Yes.

562
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,240
I didn't like to disturb you.

Mrs Casaubon!
You are VERY welcome.

575
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:39,480
I am sorry to interrupt you.
I am anxious to see Dr Lydgate.

576
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,440
Do you know where I might find him?

577
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,680
<font color="

578
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,080
He is at the new hospital.
He may be some time.

579
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,640
Shall I send for him?

580
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,040
Let ME fetch him.

581
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,720
Mr Ladislaw!

582
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,600
I'm sorry...

583
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,600
I...I had not thought
of seeing you here.

584
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,160
<font color="
and fetch him?

585
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:15,320
No... Thank you, but I wish to lose
no time before getting back home.
I will drive to the hospital myself,

586
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,840
and see him there.

587
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:22,320
Please excuse me, Mrs Lydgate.
I'm obliged to you.

588
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,840
Goodbye.

589
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,880
<font color="

590
00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:34,080
I am very envious of
your acquaintance with Mrs Casaubon.

591
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,520
Is she very clever?

592
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,280
I've never thought about it.

593
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,840
I must go, too.
It's always fatal
to have music interrupted.

594
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,240
Oh...

595
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,080
<font color="

596
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:03,600
Tertius would enjoy the music
and I find I cannot enjoy it
so well without him.

597
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,320
And you are certain...

598
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:29,520
..there is no further cause for
anxiety, no marked deterioration?

599
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:35,800
I thought he seemed...diminished,
<font color="

600
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,320
rather than in his body.

601
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,040
Each of us knows that we must die.

602
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,600
But when we must grasp it
as a certainty,

603
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:53,520
even the most devout must feel
some terror. I'm sure you're right.

604
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,560
<font color="

605
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,760
You must be very happy
to have charge of it.

606
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,280
Yes...

607
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,280
There's everything to be done here.

608
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,400
The other medical men
are against it.

609
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,160
But they'll come round.
Then, there's money.

610
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:21,320
<font color="
ALL the bills and...half the town
seems to delight in thwarting us.

611
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:28,240
Why is that? Bulstrode's unpopular.

612
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:28,240
People don't like

613
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:28,240
his religious tone.

614
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:33,280
And half of Middlemarch is in debt
<font color="

615
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:38,480
My colleagues resent Bulstrode
for having given me charge,

616
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,160
so they try
to blacken the whole affair

617
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:46,880
and hinder subscriptions.
How very petty of them.

618
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:52,120
The offence of being a newcomer who
<font color="

619
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,880
I should like to help you, if I can.

620
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,600
I could spare £200 a year
for a purpose like this -

621
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,440
a hospital where everyone can come
without fear of expense,

622
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,320
confident of the most modern care.

623
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,760
You are generous, ma'am.
<font color="

624
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,280
How happy YOU must be
to awake each morning

625
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,840
knowing that you can do
so much good.

626
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,560
I wish I could awake
with that knowledge.

627
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,160
Yes...

628
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:30,320
<font color="

629
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,120
H'm.

630
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,080
What are you thinking?

631
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:44,360
I'm thinking about a great fellow
who was about my age 300 years ago.

632
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:48,960
I can't guess. I'll tell you.
His name was Vesalius.

633
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,560
He was a great anatomist.

634
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,120
<font color="

635
00:49:54,120 --> 00:50:01,560
The only way he could study was
to go at night and snatch bodies
from graveyards. Oh, how horrible.

636
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:08,600
I hope he is not one of your
GREAT heroes, else you'll be off
to St Peter's churchyard.

637
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,400
<font color="
about Mrs Goby.

638
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,240
You have enemies enough already.
So had Vesalius.

639
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:20,920
No wonder the medical fogeys
in Middlemarch are jealous.

640
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:26,760
All the other doctors were against
Vesalius, but he was proved right.

641
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:32,080
<font color="
monster, for all his body-snatching.

642
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,480
What happened to him?

643
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,480
He had to fight throughout his life.

644
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:44,240
He got shipwrecked as he was coming
from Jerusalem to take a great chair
in Padua. He died rather miserably.

645
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,520
Third?

646
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,080
<font color="

647
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:59,120
Do you know...I often wish
that you hadn't been a medical man?

648
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:04,360
Don't say that. That's like saying
you wish you'd married another man.

649
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,320
Not at all.
You are clever enough for anything.

650
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:16,920
You could easily have been something
<font color="
May my cousins go to the devil!

651
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:20,120
Still...

652
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,400
I do not think
it is a nice profession.

653
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,840
It is the grandest profession
in the world!

654
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:32,920
To say you love me,
<font color="
is the same as saying

655
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,360
you like eating a peach,
but not its flavour.

656
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,400
Don't say that again, dear.
It pains me.

657
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:50,400
Today I propose the first step
in a process of condensation
which I've long had in view,

658
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,240
<font color="
intensive labour from you, my dear,

659

now...and in the future.

660

What am I to do?

661
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,920
Start here,

662
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,440
with the Egyptians... No.

663
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,920
Here, with the Greeks.

664
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,440
You will oblige me, my dear,

665
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,400
if you will read each passage aloud

<font color="

667
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:22,560
you will make a cross
with your pencil.

668
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,640
Very well.

669
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,440
Then, let us begin at once.

670
00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:34,960
I have deferred it too long...

671
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,840
..and I would gladly see it
completed.

672
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,520
"The cultivation of monastic,

Pass on the next heading. I omit the
second excursus on the solar cults.

679

You begin to perceive the principle
upon which the selection is made?

00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,480
Yes, Edward.

681
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,200
Good.
Let us pass on to the Etruscans.

00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,520
I feel some discomfort.

Can I do anything for you?

685
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:35,280
My love...

686

I have a request to make.

687
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,960
What is it?
That you will tell me whether,

688
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,480
in the event of my death,

689
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,080

You refuse.

00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,240
No...

695
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:17,680
I do not refuse,

696
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,960
but it is too solemn.

697
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,960
I think it is not right

698
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:29,280
to make a promise when I am ignorant

699
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,480
Will you not tell me
what you have in mind?

700
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:37,280
You would use your own judgement.
I ask you to obey mine, you refuse.

701
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:44,640
I desire with my whole soul
to do what will comfort you...

702
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,080
..but I cannot make a pledge
<font color="

703
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,680
Grant me...

704
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,720
..till tomorrow.

705
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,600
Please, Edward.

706
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,600
I beg you.

707
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,680
Till tomorrow, then.

708
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:54,960
I have...

709
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,280
Is Mr Casaubon risen?
This half-hour, ma'am.

710
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,320
He awaits your answer in the garden,

711
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,160
<font color="

712
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,600
I must dress.

713
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,480
Edward, I am come.

714
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,040
I am ready.

715
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,320
Edward?

716
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,320
Edward?

717
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,360
Edward, wake, dear.

718
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,720
I am here now.
