greetings

it's lovely to have you back

this is the next chapter in our

complicated tale of courtship class

family and of course money

which is to say it continues uh

exploration of the standard values of

Victorian England

We Begin by tackling the fickle world of

19th century politics

Mr Moffat is one of my favorite

characters in Dr Thorne offered is far

from anyone's idea of a gentleman and

yet thanks to his money of which he has

so much more than they the greshams and

their like feel compelled to court and

tolerate him despite strong misgivings

all of which comes to a head in this

episode when we see moffatt seeking to

enter local government in a bid to

increase his standing in society

and now we shall let it unfold

I'll see you at the end of the episode

for a debriefing

[Music]

[Music]

Mr Roger please can you help me I've got

three kids I'm all on my own

lavender

[Music]

how's it looking Roma

I think we'll have him sir Roger but

I'll need a little more for their

expenses

expenses no point in pitching at this

station Roger Pennywise pound foolish

have you seen muffin well I've seen it

but it's not worth looking at brought

the crowd with him down from the castle

which is the town won't like not good I

can use it against him when he claims

it's to reform

I quite well sir Roger I'll be fine when

I've had a spot of Brandy to settle my

stomach

Brandy

[Music]

thank you

foreign

[Music]

but will he authorize the payment

I should think so

he's in a sour mood at the moment but he

never refuses alone against this house

good

it's aggression it's not good

you will scattered more than three

quarters of the value of the estate

to invite him to her ball the truth is

he was rather bitter that neither he nor

Master Lily had been included it is a

Pity that you lost the chance to be good

neighbors

I'm on my way now to see how sir Roger

is faring at the hands of the voters

so I'll leave you I'll return again

later

[Music]

Dr Thorne

baby Arabella good afternoon

here a moment

I'm so glad you came here today but

there is something special I want to say

to you something um

rather particular

you know what

respect and esteem and real affection we

all have for you and for Mary also

I very much hope dear doctor that you

won't take a Miss what I'm going to say

I'll Endeavor not to

let us not beat about the bush

you know the Squire's position when it

comes to the property

indeed you probably know the sums rather

better than I

there has been Reckless spending in

Years Gone by racing and gambling to say

nothing of keeping those noisy hounds

for no good reason

all of which means that Frank will

inherit a hollow crown

his only hope of retrieving the

situation is by marrying money and worth

lady Arabella and a pure heart and youth

and Beauty I hope you'll marry them all

indeed

but there must be money

or Frank will be a ruined man

you would not want that

certainly not

good

because I have heard that things

that his words have passed between Frank

and Mary

that should never have been allowed

what things

what words

and who says so doctor there have been

lovemakings of a very Advanced kind

what took place

speak out lady Arabella I won't have

Mary's conduct impugned by innuendo what

is it that the eavesdroppers have heard

what's the accusation

there has been an offer made and who

made it

of course Frank has been imprudent I

don't deny it there has been fault on

both sides no doubt of it I do doubt it

I deny it totally I can assure you an

offer was made by Frank and such an

offer cannot be without its allurements

a lumens

all I'm saying is that it would be

inexpedient for the young people to be

thrown together again just now would it

Frank is at Coursey now and he goes from

there to Cambridge but when he next

returns home perhaps it would be better

don't worry Mary will not set foot among

you from this very moment

but it must not change the friendly

intercourse between you and this family

this choir would not wish not change it

do you think I would break bread in a

house from which my knees has been

banished you have daughters would you

sit down with me if I'd accused one of

them as you have accused her

good day to you madam

[Music]

well I really have to speak

you must speak eventually Mr moffatt how

else will they know who they're voting

for but not for too long

you want to be a great man Mr moffatt

and greatness isn't easy to achieve I

know that thank you cossett

ERS

I think I should rejoin my friends

they're waiting outside

[Music]

what else is there to do

it seems I must give her a speech or two

that is what we've clear

why look it's Dr Thorne

this is good of you

no I just thought I owed it as Roger to

witness his folly well stay in him off

at speak

he's trembling like jelly

Miss Dunstable may I present Dr Thorne

but I know all about you

tell me how is your Charming niece

Mary as well but you'd be surprised to

find herself the topic of your

conversation I'm an American Dr Thorne

we know no boundaries

Mr Moffat it's time is it really

oh my God is it really where is your

opponent all scattered I very much doubt

he's been able to leave his bed

I pray that he's not

[Music]

[Applause]

now there's this muffins Mr moffatt hey

there he is

what have you ever done for our day

nothing right now listen

I know I may not look much like this

picture that they're drawn to me hey

well next for that back pimply item of

unearned income who drove down here by

the way into Karen

smattering of Lords and Ladies

I mean compared to him I mean I think I

look all right

[Laughter]

[Applause]

you're one of us

you know what I came up the hard way

didn't I hey I mean I may be a rich man

now I may be a better than that but but

when I started out

I had now put a raw potato in my pocket

to no one if the hunger got too bad so

don't let him tell you that I don't know

what it's like to be without right

thank you

[Applause]

this is your moment Mr Moffett it's time

to deliver your speech good luck

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

I am a thorough paced reformer

a thorough pastry format we've got the

point

I believe very firmly in reform that

your reform snippy for what nation can

Pride themselves more on the rights

granted to their citizens the right to

choke this oh Mr Martha he isn't making

much of a mark

you should have spent more time with the

voters you should have spent more money

on the voters

do you doubt our English democracy

say something about their daughters

praise their wives praise the town

barchester's a fine town but even a fine

town can improve with reform

[Applause]

I rest my case it is time to build on

the achievements

and push forward along the road to

look at the Pampered swine you couldn't

fight for Pate sandwich never mind a

working man's boat right

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

the election and hasn't been back since

Mary now that I'm here can I say how

sorry I am for all this

difficulty it can't be helped sir but I

hate to think that we've banished you

Beatrice is hardly speaking to us I must

love her for that

is it true she's engaged to Mr Oriel it

is it seems quick to me but they're very

determined

you know Beatrice I certainly do

there's a servant here from boxhall Hill

struck down the doctor's with him now

Thorne at night time too

greshamsbury is not so very far do you

know it oh indeed I do I used to nurse

your master Frank up at the big house

that was when Sriracha was away

those times were the happiest I've ever

known but sir Roger has been wonderfully

successful in the years since indeed he

has and I give thanks for it

but I was happier then

I should take these things up

oh

[Music]

[Music]

why have you come I couldn't leave

ladies catcher to face this with no

woman to lean on she has servants

here are the things you've asked for

what can I do

bring me a kettle of hot water a glass

and a spoon

I thought I don't believe I've ever seen

her before

she's come to help ladies catch it

Louie arrived

how his train must be

you won't be long I'm sure

thank you

[Music]

to be beaten by two votes seems very

hard there'll be a rematch before too

long so Roger did not look as if he

would ever make it to Parliament

we do run again muffin

I think not

how'd you do

Miss Dunstable leaves in the morning it

must be tonight

do not let me down

I have promised your mama your family is

saved isn't that what you want of course

then into the breach with you just as

soon as that tiresome young man

relinquish yourself

these people they accusers of touring

but he seems to me they are the tortoise

I've been accused of toadying ah you

know what I mean

discretion wishes to live well on my

fortune and her brother him to buy back

is a stay with yours that has put me in

my place

why don't you and I join forces

we can make a noise and no mistake

oh you've cheered me up Mr Moffett I

have refused Lord poor luck but one

proposal seemed a poor return for a

whole week in the country now at least I

can claim too

refusals I'm afraid so but be honest Mr

Moffett you want their breeding as much

as they want your money and you don't no

I'd like a man who thinks like a

gentleman but whether he is one or not

doesn't matter much to me

[Music]

[Music]

you where are they upstairs so Louis

into Roger's room

you look too fine for this kind of

working lady

[Music]

oh yeah really

a city or no girl you don't squeeze me

to death well so I have no one left to

keep you company

wonderful to see you

I say

that was pretty Scrappy Governor

wouldn't you rather have something

stronger

I would Louie boy fetch him some Brandy

have a bottle with me if there's none

here

[Music]

what difference can I make now eh

true enough I suppose

yeah give me some while you're at it

[Music]

nursing standards gone up

[Music]

and that's good of you

can you stay

very well

if I'm not in the way

[Music]

what did old moffatt want

he was curious about my marriage

intentions

do you have any no immediate ones

you see Mr Gresham I would rather be

courted as a woman than a bank account

I don't blame you

although my aunt will be furious

she's set on our Union

she thinks I'm proposing now

and will you propose

I like you much better than I thought I

would and

I would love to save gresham's Ray and

if I were not too old for you and if

your heart were not already taken

if

I say say that you proposed and I

refused can't argue with that

do not propose to me or anyone else but

Miss Thorne

fear I may be avoiding my duty that is

Noble but wrong

your duty is to your queen and your God

I hope not to keeping your family in

luxury

and your back is back is straight your

arms are strong

take what you can of your life for

yourself and Miss Thorne

[Music]

we are the last ones downstairs

how pleased you will be to be rid of us

of you if only that could be good night

lady decorcian thank you

[Music]

spree will not be saved by the gold from

the oil of Lebanon

foreign

[Music]

I do

and the troubles me that you've not

altered it if you've done something you

don't want to do

I have altered it if I did a letter what

you call it code is still

saying that you and only you know the

name of Anne's eldest child

I wish

never mind what what do you wish

all that I could have met her once

before I die that is all innocent girl

that I made for others

my face was coming and go on my way

without regret

[Music]

very well I will grant your wish

she's there

in the firelight

Marathon

that is the daughter of that sketches

this is the truth

was thought

[Music]

can I do something for you

you can share me with your lovely face

until you have done

if only every patient could be mended so

easily

would you accept the thanks of a dying

man

and thank you for

he brought an angel into this house

to make it easier for me to face your

lies beyond the grave

go to sleep now scratch it

foreign

what a Sleeping Beauty scene is this

how's the governor

foreign

to the last

and that is the best a wife can hope for

eign

[Music]

although you are now the baronet

the father spoke of you to me and

has left you

under my charge

I hope you remember you can always turn

to me for comfort in your thorough at

his end but don't worry about me doctor

I've lived my whole life in the shadow

of a great tree

and now that tree is full

maybe it's my time in the Sun at last

[Music]

can you stay here for your mother

certainly not

I'll go to London from the funeral

you may send whatever money is due to me

there

foreign

laughs

Gus

Gus whatever is the matter

he's gone he left this for me

that's a very devil

how dare you say you did not love him

did you love him well

whether I did or not it isn't very

gentlemanly to say so gently

there's nothing gentlemanly about him

Muffet

[Music]

where is that devil moffatt

he left straight after breakfast

[Music]

don't worry

we'll settled in London

[Music]

are we to Rejoice it's a Roger's death

will cover ourselves in sackcloth and

Ashes how can I answer until we know the

terms of the will

let us pray the news of Miss Dunstable

is all we would have it I doubt even the

oil of Lebanon can save us from the

furnace

this came in the second personality

it is

foreign

[Music]

oh no

what is it

oh no

Miss Dunstable has flown the coop I

expected as much

there's more

Moffat has escaped alongside her

that is a blow although I am glad to

have seen the last of him the blighter

what else is there

advice of course Lady of course he is

always very generous with her advice

she gives us the name of their lawyer Mr

Mortimer gazeby of gumption gays being

gaysby I believe Mr gazeby is a

well-bred sort of a man

for a lawyer and is that what we need

to save our house and hearth from the

ravages of Sir Louis scattered when he

succeeds to his father's title and

Fortune a well-bred sort of a man

to think he will be so Lewy how

Preposterous yes my lady he is going to

be a baronet whether we like it or not

he will also own nine tenths of the

estate

I suggest you treat him with all the

respect you can muster

if you'll excuse me Mr Gresham I'm

feeling rather seedy

should I send for Dr Thorne is it likely

I would want to see a man who insults me

in my own house

[Music]

laughs

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

Lord Pollock is here he wondered if he'd

step outside for a moment sir can you

not ask him in I did Sir but he wouldn't

come

[Music]

Lord Pollock

is that you

or you come inside

not dressed for it I'm afraid

I only need a word or two but what is

this about

oh

I have a message for you ah from lady

alexandrina

no

not quite

Moffat did you think you could joke to

my sister and get away scot-free

and fight me like a man or must I beat

you like the dog you are I'd say it's a

case of the dog

go on Frank

make sure he never looks sideways at

aggression girl again

you beat me for leaving a woman who

cared only for my money remember you

speak of my sister and she was

Dishonored by the match not I for

breaking it off

what are you anxious for a pacing sir

no

let's go

you can't leave it like that Frank I can

and I will

come on

he's right

Augusta was marrying him for the money

she didn't care for him one jot

I know now

I must be true to myself even if I

should lose the estate and everything

else besides

[Music]

you're too deep for me I'm afraid

we'll say to a glass of pork before we

turn in

dare say we've earned it

[Music]

I've asked them to bring the horse round

though I know Louis will want something

more handsome for you don't listen to

him I love Firebird riding him is a

gentle thing

but I'm afraid I've put you to a great

deal of trouble

you've helped me more than I can say

over these past weeks I've grown used to

having you with me but it's time you

went back to your own life lady

scattered Louis back I wasn't expecting

him

oh don't tell me she's putting you up on

that damn thing again and I'm very happy

that she has for a person that rides

like you Miss Thorne for such a horse

woman

the lady scattered it's ridiculous don't

talk so sului when I'm perfectly content

well I call it a crime against nature

why properly mounted I'd back you

against anything in Hyde Park

the clear winner If Ever I saw one

Jonah this is Jonah my new man every

gentleman should have a man you know

Joe it's empty right you are so Louis

sir

I'm sorry I can't seem to keep this

Steed still around your sorry excuse for

a horse you mustn't be who's my pet but

please give your horse its head I'll

come looking for you later though

don't encourage salui in his taste for

strong drink Jonah I takes my order some

celeria lady [ __ ]

just from saloua

you caught a fine figure Miss Thorne I

hope that means you'll be kinder about

my trusty Steed it's true I'm a good

judge of horse flesh nobody knows more

about it than I

nobody knows more about women either

should we go down by

the view of the house is a good one I'm

taking too much of your time no nonsense

I want to know what you think of the

place it's very nice

and Gresham spree do you know it

oh I spent most of my childhood running

in and out

I have a fancy I might live there

aggression spree

well I've only need to call in the debt

I own most of the place already and

well it will please you you would not

please me for the questions to be turned

out

no

lady scattered

you've caught me unprepared doctor let

me see what I can offer you there we are

I had a message from your son

how is he if he's still drinking too

much you must exert your influence

you are more say with him than I

I Miss Thorne more than either of us

Mary is a wonderful influence

but I think she should go home

it's time

[Music]

so Louie I wish I could persuade you to

drink a little less I'll give it thought

doctor now

the greshams be titled it

you must worry about that your lawyers

know all there is to know

that's what my lawyers tell me that

brings me here

see I gather I have more than 90 000

pounds tied up in the greshamsbury

estate

something of that kind

the estate is a fine one there's no risk

what if I need the money

but you don't well everyone needs money

doctor

you shall control everything in a short

while so Louis and until then I shall

see that you are empty provided for

and if I have a mind to live there

perhaps but I should have thought it

rather large for a bachelor should you

indeed

now doctor

what do you think am I getting married

I should be delighted

it was your father's dearest wish that

you should marry soon and well as to

that I do not think you'll core of my

choice

what would you say to Miss Mary Thorne

well

wouldn't she be a good wife

have you spoken to her

yes and no I'm not exactly popular to

her but I've been doing the civil and if

she's up to Snuff she'll know very well

what I'm after

you do marry a great honor of course

but might it not be sensible to wait

until you know each other a little

better

but you don't disapprove

I disapprove only of hasty choices

whether we talk of greshamsbury or my

niece

I know my advice is only binding on you

for a little while longer but I urge it

just the same

foreign

I

like to help

it must be hard for you but these

clothes will be a blessing to some poor

families what are you doing in my room

we're sort of your late father's clothes

to give to the poor

burn them through like a you don't mean

that I mean everything I say

just as I mean for you to go and let

Miss Thorne and I have a moment together

but celery go please lady scattered

[Music]

we shouldn't be alone together so Louis

it is not quite right

well you see Mr I think it is exactly

right

I want us to be alone together for

for the rest of our lives

if you take my meaning

Hilary of course I'm flattered don't say

flattered say

delighted

but I'm afraid things can never be as

you wish

why not are you engaged elsewhere no

but I'm not free

you have led me on Miss Thorne

[Music]

but you have led me on most wickedly

one thing I love about trollop's cast of

characters is the moral complexity with

which they're wrought

even apparently villainous men and women

are given a context and an emotional

history that allows us

sometimes only gradually but even so to

discover another side to them

one such person is Sir Roger scatchard a

man whose Behavior Bears all the

Hallmarks of a sad and self-destructive

alcoholic

while his final response to his secret

niece Mary shows that beneath his

hardened shell lies a heart with the

capacity for deep and real love

I like Dickens or most of his

contemporaries trollop is always

reluctant to condemn anyone entirely

so Louise Gadget is another dark

character perhaps the darkest in our

story

there would seem to be a little warmth

or love in him and it appears he's

hell-bent on making life miserable for

Mary Frank the greshams and his own

mother

it is this all there is to be said about

him

we shall see

until the next time

foreign
