00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,600
The second, most recent document,

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,000
leaves Stone Court and all the land
in the parish of Lowick
to Joshua Rigg.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,840
There are no other bequests at all.

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,920
Vincy's had to dig deep
in his pockets over this palaver. >

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:25,440
You think he's got a bargain?

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:25,440
<font color="
when Brooke bought The Pioneer.

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
< I hear Brooke's up for parliament.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,640
CASAUBON: 'I have a request.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,760
'That you tell me whether, when
I die, you'll carry out my wishes.'

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,520
Edward?

than to worry about food and shelter!

13
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:53,640
I go up and down the country
and I see towns like Middlemarch
being denied a voice in parliament!

14
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,680
What we need, friends,
what we need, is the VOTE!

15
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,920
WE DO!

16
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,520
<font color="
who speaks for US!

17
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Ladislaw! Just the man!
Here's the man to put us straight!

18
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Sorry, Sparks. I'm late as it is.
Come to The Pioneer office later.

19
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Do we not have the right to speak and
act about what concerns the poor man?

20
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:27,320
<font color="
living high in grand houses,
represent us at parliament?

21
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,760
We never see 'em
unless they come to see us hanged!

22
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,000
Seditious poppycock!

23
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,600
You'd hang me soon enough, too,
but you don't have rope for us all.

24
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,640
<font color="
for all you fine Tory gentlemen

25
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,080
and one day you'll be swept away!

26
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,960
I should have a care of what you say,

27
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,960
my friend.

28
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,080
YOU have a care, friend!

29
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,520
Damn fellow's talkin' revolution!

30
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,520
Couldn't happen in England.

<font color="

32
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Well, yeah, France...

33
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,680
Good day to you, Jenkins.

34
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,680
Good day, Mr Brooke.

35
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Now, now, not too fast,
young friend.

36
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Wilberforce and his negroes,
all fine and good.

37
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,240
Criminal law reform is overdue, but
<font color="

38
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,920
and give the vote
to every Tom, Dick and Harry!

39
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:25,960
That would change
the balance of the constitution!

40
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:33,360
We WANT to change the balance of
the constitution, to REFORM it! Yes,
<font color="

41
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,640
The extreme in this case
is the guillotine!

42
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,680
We must embrace reform,
not nibble at bits of it.

43
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Like a bit of an avalanche
already on its way!

44
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:51,200
That's good, that's very good!
<font color="

45
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,120
You see, that's just what I need,
not ideas!

46
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,560
But ways of putting 'em.
My word, you express yourself well.

47
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,840
You'd make a capital member
of parliament! One day, perhaps.

48
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Aye, we must buy you
<font color="

49
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,760
Pocket borough?! You forget
that the purpose of reform

50
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,760
is to get RID of pocket boroughs!

51
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,200
Oh, yes. To be sure!
There are too many men

52
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,200
who have BOUGHT their way in.

53
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,720
But if I COULD one day
get a foothold there,

54
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,560
<font color="
this moribund, cruel complacency!

55
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Still, first things first. We haven't
got YOU elected yet, have we?

56
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,840
No, no, we haven't.
I must leave you now, Ladislaw.

57
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,520
Lowick, you know.

58
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Wills, documents,
<font color="

59
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,960
Well, carry on with the good work!

60
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,400
That avalanche was excellent!
First-rate! Write it down now.

61
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Excellent!

62
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,120
AH-H!

63
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,280
Goodbye. Goodbye.

64
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,000
I wake very early...
to the most desolate thoughts.

65
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,080
<font color="

66
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,520
but that I could do so little
for him.

67
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,760
And I feel so weak...

68
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:42,880
..and guilty.

69
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,160
Grief is a kind of illness.

70
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,160
It can rob us of our vital energies.

71
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000
I am sure you have nothing,

72
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,160
NOTHING to reproach yourself with.

73
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,920
<font color="

74
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,480
I never liked Casaubon!

75
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,920
No red blood,
but to make a will like THAT!

76
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,840
Coupling her with this man, Ladislaw!
What a damned insult to Dorothea!

77
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:16,880
If the man were alive,
I'd call him out and shoot him!

78
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:24,120
<font color="
Casaubon was always a little
twisted about Ladislaw.

79
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,280
The world will think
she gave him cause! Heaven forbid!
I don't believe it!

80
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:36,000
Not for a moment. But I tell you
<font color="

81
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,240
I wonder if we can prevent
her knowing the terms of the will.

82
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760
God, this is a damned bad business!

83
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,520
You're to blame in part.
You brought him here. Steady on!

84
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,600
Dorothea comes to Freshitt,
<font color="

85
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Get him a post in the suite of some
colonial governor. My dear Chettam,

86
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:58,880
you can't ship him off like cattle!

87
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,160
I wouldn't send him out of
the country unless he chose to go.

88
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:11,680
Dorothea was sacrificed once
<font color="
And I intend to protect her now!

89
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,280
Lydgate!

90
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Come in! You've become such
a stranger I came to seek you out.

91
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,800
Will you come to supper tonight?

92
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,800
I shall be glad to.

93
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,640
I called at the Grange. Brooke says
<font color="

94
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:35,160
He seems determined to keep me away.
From his house, at all events, not
himself. I see too much of him here.

95
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,600
I believe he means to keep me
from meeting his niece.

96
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,240
Tell me, Lydgate, how is she?

97
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:53,160
<font color="

98
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:53,160
young and strong. I've no anxiety
about her. You never see her now?

99
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Nor likely to, while she's
at Freshitt Hall. It's Tory ground!

100
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,640
I'm about as welcome there
as a poacher with his gun (!)

101
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,800
It seems we're forever divided.

102
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,200
<font color="

103
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,280
Rosy should be very sorry if you
were in Rome...and so should I.

104
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,840
God, Lydgate!

105
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,840
I wish I could walk out of that door
and never see Middlemarch again!

106
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880
But you can.

107
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Why don't you?
There's too much to hold me here.

108
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,960
<font color="
Till this evening, then.

109
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,440
Look, look! Tickety, tickety!

110
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880
Look, Dodo. Look at him!

111
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,880
BABY GURGLES

112
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,280
Did you ever see anything like that?

113
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,720
What a face!

114
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,200
I'm sure he has his thoughts!

115
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Don't be sad, Dodo.

116
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,920
<font color="

117
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,480
There, there, Arthur.
Come on, my sweet.

118
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000
What is it, Dodo?
What are you brooding over?

119
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,280
I want to go to Lowick
and attend to business.

120
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Why will no-one let me go there?

121
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Because you are not well!

122
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,080
<font color="
What should upset me? It is my home.

123
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,800
What is it, Celia? Tell me!

124
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,800
Mr Casaubon has behaved very badly.

125
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,160
And I had better tell you,
to prepare you.

126
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,080
He has made a codicil to his will

127
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,040
to say the property is all
<font color="

128
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,120
..if you were to marry Mr Ladislaw.

129
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,960
Of course, you would never do so but
that makes it worse of Mr Casaubon!

130
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600
James says it is abominable of him

131
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
and not like a gentleman at all.

132
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,280
It was to hinder Mr Ladislaw
from marrying you for money.

133
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,680
<font color="

134
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:12,280
It is a mercy
that he has been taken away.

135
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,600
You ought to be grateful.

136
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,720
I'm so sorry.

137
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Please forgive me.

138
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,960
How, how.

139
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,680
There.

140
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:38,000
CELIA: She wants to go to Lowick
<font color="

141
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,840
I hardly know. I think

142
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,840
Mrs Casaubon should do whatever
gives her the most repose of mind.

143
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,280
That doesn't always come
from being forbidden to act.

144
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,680
PIANO PLAYS

145
00:10:53,680 --> 00:11:00,720
It's no use your puffing Brooke as
<font color="
holes in his coat in The Trumpet.

146
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Those who read The Pioneer
don't read The Trumpet.

147
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,960
Brooke's not fitted to be a public
man. He's part of the disease!

148
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,840
But your cure must begin somewhere,
Lydgate. He's not an ideal candidate,

149
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640
<font color="

150
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,240
There's a class of people that's
had a massive wrong done to it.

151
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,240
I support the man who supports
THEIR claims!

152
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,080
What about you?!

153
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:34,400
You want medical reform.
Are you going to reject Bulstrode
<font color="

154
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880
I don't think so.

155
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,720
True. But I don't cry him up on any
personal ground. I keep clear of it.

156
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,120
I value my independence too much.

157
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,560
Are you saying I cry up Brooke
on personal grounds?

158
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:53,160
My independence is as valuable to me
<font color="

159
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:59,000
How very unpleasant you are both
being this evening! Poor Rosy!

160
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Disputation is no fun for cherubs.
Ask Ladislaw to sing with you again.

161
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,320


162
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,920

166
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,400
Won't you change your mind?

167
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
No, I shall be better alone.

168
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,760
If you will call for me at twelve,
that would be very kind.

169
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,040
There, that's better. I've had the
fire lit, ma'am. It'll soon warm up.

00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,080
Dr Lydgate, I should like you to
<font color="

186
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,120
How do you think I should dispose
of the chaplaincy?

187
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:50,560
Edward favoured Mr Tyke,
but I do not feel bound

188
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:50,560
to follow his views blindly.

189
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,640
Tyke is a good man in his way,
but may I tell you of another?

190
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,480
Of course.

191
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,920
<font color="
of St Botolph's in Middlemarch.

192
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,760
His living is poor. He supports an
elderly mother, sister, and aunt.

193
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,600
He's a remarkable man. He knows he
should have done more in his life.

194
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,000
Why has he not done more?

195
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,440
The want of money.

196
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,440
<font color="
and even billiards for gain.

197
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,280
He wins a good deal. He excels at
everything. But it's such a waste!

198
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,320
With a decent income,
he could do better things.

199
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,880
I should like to see Mr Farebrother

200
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,880
<font color="

201
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,280
I trust to the effect of that.

202
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:43,520
He is beloved by those who know him.

203
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:43,520
Ask Caleb Garth. Ask Will Ladislaw.
He'll praise him to the skies.

204
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Will he?

205
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,280
But I so rarely see him now.

206
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,560
Thank you for your opinions,
<font color="

207
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,920
Good afternoon, Mr Mawmsey.

208
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,600
Dr Lydgate.
If I might trouble you for a moment.

209
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,320
The other day, when you were so good
as to visit Mrs Mawmsey,

210
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,080
you omitted to prescribe
her strengthening medicine.

211
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,080
<font color="

212
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:28,440
It wasn't an oversight, Mr Mawmsey.
She doesn't need any medicine.
There's no value in these potions.

213
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,240
Let her take a glass of wine
with her dinner.

214
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Mrs Mawmsey has never
been WITHOUT it! The reason
<font color="

215
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,920
is because it's the only way
they can make money.

216
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:48,960
If Wrench charged for consultations,
he wouldn't need to overdose
the King's lieges -

217
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,120
and that's the worst kind
of treason, eh?

218
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:57,400
Treason? Overdosing?
<font color="

219
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Mrs Mawmsey is not a well woman.
She NEEDS her strengthening medicine!

220
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:11,120
Middlemarchers are slow to take on
new ideas and slow to pay bills.

221
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:17,960
Marriage is much more of an expense
than I anticipated. Still,

222
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:17,960
<font color="

223
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,600
One doesn't buy a dinner service
every week! Indeed not!

224
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,440
And as to hostility in the town,
you'll weather it if you're prudent.

225
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,480
How am I to be prudent?
I act as I see fit.
I can't help people's spite.

226
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:40,680
<font color="
of their ignorance and spite, it's
as well NOT to incur too many debts.

227
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,120
Easier said than done.
But I...I take your point.

228
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,120
Will you ring the bell for Parsons,
Third?

229
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:56,160
Never mind Parsons, Rosy.
<font color="

230
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,960
To her it's labour,

231
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,800
to me, it's delight.

232
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Come here.

233
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,360
Oh, my Venus!

234
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:42,200
You must be gentle with me, Tertius,
now I am with child.

235
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,680
Am I not always gentle with you?

236
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Yes.

237
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,200
Oh, my little bird!

238
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,480
<font color="

239
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,720
Thirdly. Hmm?

240
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:28,160
I forgot to tell you -
your cousin from Quallingham
has accepted our invitation.

241
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,800
He's coming to stay next month.
Oh, what a bore!

242
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,320
Everything bores you
apart from your work.

243
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,320
<font color="

244
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,880
Far from it.

245
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,360
Progress and reform, that's
the ticket! Don't forget that!

246
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:58,600
You have to give them a clear line,
sir. Let them know where you stand,

247
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:58,600
even if it means losing them.

248
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,960
Wavering arguments won't win
wavering votes.

249
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:08,800
<font color="
all very well, but I KNOW these

250
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Middlemarch traders, Ladislaw.

251
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,320
There are tactics in these matters,

252
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,320
d'you see?

253
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:20,200
I am come to talk politics with you.
Reform and progress! Shall we, um...

254
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,040
<font color="
have your vote when the time comes.

255
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,960
Well, you see, I have to look at it
in a family light.

256
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:40,800
Yes, yes, of course.

257
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:40,800
Will reform support Mrs Mawmsey and
our six children when I am no more?

258
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,880
Heaven forbid
<font color="

259
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:51,040
And I ask you, sir, what am I to do
when gentlemen of another party
come into my shop and say,

260
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:57,240
"Mawmsey, vote as you like,
but vote against us and
we'll get our groceries elsewhere!"

261
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Those very words spoken
<font color="

262
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,000
That's narrow, very narrow!
I should never take that line.

263
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:11,920
So long as my butler gives me
good reports of your spices,

264
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:11,920
I'll not go elsewhere.

265
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,880
I'm very obliged to you, Mr Brooke.
Very handsome of you, indeed.

266
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,480
<font color="
the right thing to come to our side.

267
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,840
This reform's going to touch
everyone by and by,

268
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,640
and as for FAMILY, well,
we're all one family.

269
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:38,160
No man is an island, entire
unto himself, it's all one cupboard.

270
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,560
<font color="

271
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,040
In this ONE family,
there's debtor and creditor still?

272
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:51,080
They're not going to reform that
away?! I am not expected to support
everyone's family, I hope!

273
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:57,920
Good God! You misunderstand me,
Mawmsey. Nobody says you should!

274
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:57,920
<font color="

275
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,080
And relieved and honoured
for your continued custom.

276
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Few men have less need
for change than I have.

277
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,240
Which is why I salute you
for the promise you gave me

278
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,080
not to withdraw your custom,
vote or no vote,

279
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,400
<font color="
was satisfactory.

280
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,400
Captain Lydgate,
you keep very good time, sir.

281
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Spurred on
by the thought of seeing you, ma'am!

282
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,080
Where's Tertius?

283
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,080
He's never here.
He neglects me!

284
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,560
Does he? Does he?
<font color="

285
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,520
Well! We shall have to see
what we can do about that...

286
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:03,840
..shan't we?

I can't pretend to your husband's
scholarly distinction, Mrs Casaubon,

00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,760
nor to the apostolic zeal
<font color="

290
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:24,880
and I am, perhaps, too inclined
to overlook minor lapses
in others and myself...

291
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,320
Better to pardon too much
than to condemn too much, surely.

292
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,160
The best Christian teaching speaks
clearly to people as you did now.

It's not always easy
to find true happiness on earth.

295
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,240
No, it is not.
Life sometimes seems very cruel.

296
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:57,600
But I still believe
there is much we can do
<font color="

297
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,560
I should like to offer you
the living at Lowick.

I hope very much you will accept it.

00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,760
How much would that pay,
if I'm not out of line?

337
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,160
Forty pounds a year, Mr Vincy.

338
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,440
Couldn't happen to a nicer man! Forty
pound! A man could marry on that!

339
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,960
CAPTAIN LYDGATE: Very jolly party!

340
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,640
<font color="
well. I'll see you in the morning.

341
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,360
Tertius, I wish you would be
more polite to the captain.

342
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,760
I am polite to him.

343
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,840
You hardly speak!
I feed and house him.

344
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,840
Don't expect me to talk to him.

00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,440
<font color="

346
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,920
If he got his head broken, I might
look with interest. Not before.

347
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,480
I cannot conceive why you speak
of your cousin so contemptuously.

348
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,840
In my opinion,
he is a thorough gentleman.

349
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,360
The fact is, Rosy, you would wish me

Well, there it is, Harriet,
Stone Court.

00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:14,320
So, how should you like
to be mistress of it and all
the Featherstone land, my dear?

352
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,040
I should like it very well, Nicholas,

353
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,680

00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,960
Reform is in the air!

356
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:35,480
A good crowd, Mr Brooke,
and very well disposed, I'd say.

357
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,000
Good! Good! Thank you, thank you!

The enemy are here.

Hawley and his men.

Good fellows in their way.

You think that

Ladislaw!

363
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,920
What was that point about
the schedules? Never mind that!

364
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,760
They don't want details. Now what are

00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,400
What is it? NO, no, no, I have it!

366
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,840
Reform of the House of Commons,
no rotten boroughs and...so on.

367
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,360
That'll strike home well, I fancy!
Excellent! And they know me.

368
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:16,560
They like me. No man made more
reforms last year than me.

Ask any man! There's toolmen there,

hot metal men from Brett's who've
never heard of Brooke of Tipton.

371
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:31,880
There's no harm in that! Speak
to the point. They'll like you.

372
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:31,880
Ready, Mr Brooke?

373
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:39,480
I'll take another glass of sherry!
<font color="
then your good self, then I wind up.

00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,120
All set?

375
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,280
Brooke of Tipton?
Is he a manufacturer?

376
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,920
No! Landowner. Bad 'un too! Fat
as a pig while poor folks starve!

and not before time!

381
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,840
Now, as never before,

382
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:39,960
we have the chance to free ourselves
from the crushing yoke of the past.

Is that not good news?

00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,120
My friends, we have been patient,

386
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:05,040
we have endured much and God knows
we have deserved better!

represented in parliament

Not so sure.

Hawley's got something

"It won't do, you know!"

It's too bad they didn't listen!

No. I am obliged to you, Mr Brooke.

00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,360
Rosy, that's nonsense! I shall tell

504
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,360
the captain he should know better.

505
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,720
Please will you fasten up my plaits,

506
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,720
dear?

507
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,120
I love the touch of your hands.

508
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,160
I beg you will not speak
to the captain, Tertius.

509
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,520
<font color="
as if I were a child.

510
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,960
Promise that you will leave
the subject to me.

511
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,200
Very well. But you are to be
quite firm with him.

512
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:57,840
Plenty of air, now, and not too
much thought. Books are very well,

513
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,240
<font color="

514
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,960
I must say, you all look agreeable!

515
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,280
Almost make me change my mind
and stay.

516
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:16,200
Then stay, dear sir. No need to run
away to France because they throw
a few rotten eggs at you.

517
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:20,600
You'd be quite safe at home
<font color="

518
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:25,440
I don't run away, Mrs Cadwallader.
But a change of air, you know.

519
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,920
It's quite a different thing.
Oh yes! Celia, my dear.

520
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,560
James! Sir. Well, well.

521
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,920
Uncle, you haven't said goodbye
<font color="

522
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:41,320
Ah, goodbye, my dear fellow.
I'm off to Paris.

523
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,160
That's in France, you know. See
how he wrinkles his little nose up!

524
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:53,200
You don't like France, do you,
Arthur? No, he says, for they eat
frogs and snails there! Horrible!

525
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,640
<font color="
My dear fellow, thank you.

526
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,000
What are you thinking?

527
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,520
Goodbye!

528
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,680
Goodbye.

529
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,680
Goodbye.

530
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,680
Goodbye.

531
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,000
She should get married again.
The sooner the better!

532
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,840
CELIA: Baby and I think she should
<font color="

533
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,880
She should come and live here.
James wouldn't mind.

534
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,000
JAMES: Nothing would make me
happier but she won't budge.

535
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,400
Won't she?!

536
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,400
Let's see what I can do.

537
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,480
You will go mad in that house alone,
my dear.

538
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,480
<font color="
because nobody else will be.

539
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:54,320
I know it's a great temptation
to go mad,

540
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,840
but don't go in for it.
You wouldn't like it.

541
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,680
Oh, I dare say you're bored here
with our good dowager,

542
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,720
and Baby, of course,
<font color="

543
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:10,760
but what a bore you'd become,
sitting in that dark library,

544
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,200
playing the tragedy queen
and taking everything sublimely.

545
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:21,680
You must not concern yourself
on my account. I am determined

546
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:21,680
to live alone at Lowick.

547
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,040
<font color="
about how I shall live there,

548
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,480
and though they might not agree
with some, I like them very well.

549
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,520
I still think the world is mistaken
about many things.

550
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,040
It is too late to cure me of it now.

551
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:42,880
But I promise if I find myself

552
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:42,880
<font color="
I shall send for you immediately.

553
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,240
I very much trust that you will!

554
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:31,240
I could not bear to leave
without seeing you to say goodbye.

555
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:36,520
I should have thought it very unkind
if you had not wished to see me.

556
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,400
Are you going away soon?
<font color="

557
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:46,960
My contract with The Pioneer
has three... four weeks to run.

558
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:53,040
I intend to go to London and study
for the Bar. It's the best
route into public life.

559
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:58,600
A great deal needs to be done

560
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:58,600
politically. I want to do some of it.

561
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,360
<font color="

562
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,040
You have so many talents.

563
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,080
My uncle has told me
how well you speak in public.

564
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:14,800
You approve of my going away
and never coming back until

565
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:14,800
I've made my mark in the world?

566
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,440
I suppose it must be right
<font color="

567
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:26,280
I shall be very happy when I hear
that you've made your value felt.

568
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,720
(You will forget all about me.)

569
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,240
I should never forget you!

570
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,400
I've never forgotten anyone
I used to know.

571
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,240
GREAT GOD!

572
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:54,760
<font color="
to have that miniature upstairs

573
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:54,760
as a keepsake...

574
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,240
..the one of your grandmother.

575
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:01,680
It's so like you.

576
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,720
Why should I have that
when I have nothing else?

577
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,600
It would be more consoling to me
<font color="

578
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,400
I used to despise women
for not shaping their lives more.

579
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,600
I was SO fond of doing as I liked.

580
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Two years ago, I had no notion
of the way trouble comes and ties
our hands and makes us silent,

581
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,600
when we long to speak.

582
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,640
<font color="

583
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,640
Sir James Chettam's here, ma'am.

584
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,280
CHETTAM: Mrs. Casaubon.

585
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,040
Goodbye, Mrs Casaubon.

586
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,560
I'm surprised he shows his face here.

587
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,040
You should not be angry
with Mr Ladislaw, James.

588
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,840
He has acted very honourably
<font color="

589
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,000
I wish I could find a way
of making him some reparation,

590
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,840
but it seems impossible.

591
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:13,080
Well, it's good land,
but it's been sadly managed.
All to be done, you know?

592
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,520
All to be done.
I like that, Mr Garth.

593
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,960
<font color="
Let us set about it with a will.

594
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,000
↑

595
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,000
Good day to you!

596
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:30,840
Well bless my heart!
He looks like one of those men one

597
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:30,840
sees waiting about after the races.

598
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,200
By Jove, Nick! It IS you.
Unmistakable!

599
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,000
<font color="

600
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,640
Five and twenty years have played
old Bogey with us both, eh?

601
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,920
Nick Bulstrode, you old rascal!
How are you, eh?

602
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:51,040
You didn't expect to see me here,
I'll be bound.

603
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,600
Come! Come, shake me by the hand!

604
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,560
<font color="
to you, sir.

605
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,560
And you, sir

606
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,960
What brings you here?

607
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:11,520
You ask me that, Nick?! It's you!
I've been searching all over for you

608
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:11,520
and now I've found you.

609
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,040
Old friends, old partners,
dear old cronies, Nick and I.

610
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:22,480
<font color="
We can talk another time.
Good evening to you.

611
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,960
And good evening to YOU, sir.

612
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,440
He seems a nice fellow, Nick.

613
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,840
Thank you, my dear. >

614
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,240
No, leave the bottle on the table.

615
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,760
Thank you, Mrs Abel.

616
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:59,880
<font color="
with you, Raffles.

617
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:06,240
Harriet, my dear, I know you have
much to do. Don't let us detain you.

618
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:10,000
Mr Raffles has come about business,
I believe.

619
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,720
Well, if you say so, if you insist.

620
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:16,080
I'll say goodnight then,
<font color="

621
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,680
Goodnight, Mrs Bulstrode.

622
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,800
I look forward to many a cosy chat. >
Goodnight.

623
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,840
I'll tell tales
about old Nick's London days!

624
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,160
Goodnight. Goodnight. >

625
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:38,720
Tastier-looking woman than the first

626
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:38,720
Mrs B, I'll say that, Nick.
<font color="

627
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:43,800
But I bet she didn't bring a fortune

628
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:43,800
like the old one did.

629
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,200
Lots of money in stolen goods!

630
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:54,480
Fine game is the fencing game
and you and the old lady
ran the best shop in London.

631
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,040
Regular thieves' kitchen.

632
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:02,560
<font color="
as if butter wouldn't melt!

633
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,640
What do you want?

634
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:18,160
Just to see you.
Talk about the good old times,
and share in your fortune.

635
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:24,480
Why did you return from America?
You were paid an adequate sum
to remain there!

636
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:30,120
<font color="
Nick. And I'm not going back again.

637
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:35,400
A man can overreach in his efforts
to secure undue advantage.

638
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,960
Well, you'd know about that, Nick.

639
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:44,360
I've often thought that I'd have been
better off telling the first Mrs B

640
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,760
<font color="

641
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,360
I got very little from you
for keeping it quiet.

642
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,560
And seeing you take her fortune.

643
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,160
I have a tender conscience
about that pretty daughter.

644
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:09,880
She died penniless,
but I suppose you know that.

645
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,520
Listen to me.

646
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,280
<font color="
bound to you,

647
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,360
I am willing to supply you
with a quarterly income,

648
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,720
so long as you stay away
from this neighbourhood.

649
00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,120
Remain here and you get nothing!

650
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,560
I shall decline to know you.

651
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:36,560
<font color="
declined to know the constable.

652
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:42,800
Your allusions are lost on me, sir.
The law has no hold on me,
through your agency nor any other.

653
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:50,880
Can't you take a joke, these days,
Nick? I only meant that
<font color="

654
00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:57,400
I don't like your quarterly payments

655
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:02,440
and your "Keep your distance",
Nick, old boy.

656
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,840
I'm NOT a leper

657
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,320
and I LIKE my freedom!

658
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,320
What DO you want, then?

659
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,520
This country air makes a man
<font color="

660
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,120
Show me to my bed, and...er...

661
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:27,680
..I'll tell you my terms
in the morning. Hm?

662
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:45,240
Nicholas, are you ill?
Is anything the matter?

663
00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:48,280
Nothing, Harriet. Go back to sleep.

664
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,320
I shall not be long.

665
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,000
<font color="
Nick.

666
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,240
All of it ill-gotten gains,
none yours by right.

667
00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:24,720
Thousands and thousands
and all I want is hundreds.

668
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,480
Two hundred! How's that for a deal?
Two hundred and I'll go away.

669
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,880
Pick up my portmanteau

00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,160
..off like a bullet!

671
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,680
- For ever?

672
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,680
- For a measly 200? I don't think so.

673
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:45,640
You got the money here?

674
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:52,320
..Your husband will feel the same.
Thank you. Good day to you!

675
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,960

Have you come to see me, sir?

676
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:02,240
Yes, I have. How can I be of service
to you? By extending your patience

677
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:08,640
regarding the settlement
of my account with you, Mr Spooner.

678
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:14,720
Step into my office.
We can discuss what arrangements
we might be able to come to.

679
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:17,280
Of course. This way, sir.

680
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:34,920
Forgive me, ma'am, but it's
damned nonsense! Lady Snelson rode

681
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:34,920
ten days before her confinement!

682

<font color="

683
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,320
Head for the trees, ma'am!

684
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,120
Steady! Steady, damn you!

685
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,800
Damn fools with their guns!

686
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,640
Ma'am, I think you need to dismount.

687
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,920
I am not hurt.

688
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,640
I...I...I am well, I think...

689
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,160
I'm here.

690
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,440
I'm here, Rosy.

<font color="

692
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:13,920
The baby.

693
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,280
The baby.

694
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,120
Third?!

695
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,480
OH! OH!

696
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,600
Third!

697
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,800
Don't be angry with me!

698
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,440
Tertius, are you?

699
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,160
Are you angry with me?

700
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,960
Oh, please! Oh!
