'It was certainly a city
right at the centre of things,

00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:59,250
'brim-full of tourists,
bustling with activity.

that the Emperor Napoleon

as we have been told so many times,

'is a strange country.'

00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:15,250
Do come on.
I'm going as fast as I can, Miss.

10
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:19,250
Don't be so feeble. Hurry!

11
00:01:24,290 --> 00:01:26,090
Can I help you ladies?

12
00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:28,250
I am here to see my father,
Mr Trenchard.

13
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:33,450
You stay here.

Who the devil
has come to interrupt me...

16
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:44,250
Captain Cooper, you must excuse me.
That's all very well, Trenchard...

17
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:46,290
Trenchard?
Mr Trenchard.

18
00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:48,250
But we must have the flour
by tonight.

19
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:51,250
And I promise
I will do my level best, Captain.

20
00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:53,250
Now, if you'll just wait outside
for a moment.

Have you got them?

22
00:01:58,450 --> 00:02:02,250
Three. One for you, one for Mama
and one for me.

23
00:02:05,290 --> 00:02:09,250
I suppose Lord Bellasis will
be dining there, before the ball?

24
00:02:09,250 --> 00:02:11,770
She is his aunt.
Of course.

25
00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:14,250
Edmund says there's to be a supper
sometime after midnight.

26
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:16,250
Don't call him Edmund
to anyone but me.

27
00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:19,250
Now go to your mother.
She'll need every minute to prepare.

28
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:20,250
It's too late to have anything made.

29
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:23,250
But not too late to have things
brought up to scratch.

30
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:26,250
She won't want to go.
She will, because she must.

31
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,290
Well... when shall we tell her
the rest of it?

32
00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:31,250
Not yet.
It must all be properly managed.

33
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:33,770
We must take our lead from him.
Now go.

34
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,250
And send that blithering idiot
back in.

35
00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:40,450
We won't know a soul there.
Papa knows these people.

36
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:44,250
He'll know officers who come to his
place of work to give him orders.

37
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:47,250
And they will be very surprised
to find they're sharing a ballroom

38
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:49,450
with a man who supplies their men
with bread and ale.

39
00:02:49,450 --> 00:02:51,930
I hope you won't take this tone
with Lord Bellasis.

40
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:57,250
Beware of castles in the air,
my darling.

41
00:02:57,250 --> 00:03:00,250
Of course, you won't believe him
capable of honourable intentions.

42
00:03:00,250 --> 00:03:02,250
He is the eldest son of an earl,
my child.

43
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:05,090
He cannot choose his wife
to suit his heart.

44
00:03:05,090 --> 00:03:09,250
You have enjoyed a flirtation that
has harmed neither of you, so far,

45
00:03:09,250 --> 00:03:10,250
but it must end,

46
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:13,250
before there is damaging talk,
Sophia,

47
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:15,250
or you will be the one to suffer.

48
00:03:16,250 --> 00:03:17,610
And it doesn't tell you anything?

49
00:03:17,610 --> 00:03:20,250
That he has secured us
invitations to his aunt's ball?

50
00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:22,250
It tells me
that you're a lovely girl

51
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:23,770
and he wishes to please you.

52
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:25,250
He couldn't have managed it
in London,

53
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:27,930
but in Brussels
everything is coloured by war.

54
00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:29,930
And so, the normal rules
do not apply.

55
00:03:29,930 --> 00:03:31,250
You mean that by the normal rules

56
00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:34,250
we are not acceptable as company
for the Duchess's friends?

57
00:03:34,250 --> 00:03:37,250
That is exactly what I mean
and you know it to be true.

58
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:38,250
Papa would not agree.

59
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:42,090
Your father has travelled a long way

60
00:03:42,090 --> 00:03:44,250
and so he does not see
the natural barriers

61
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:46,250
that will prevent him
from going much further.

62
00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:48,770
Be content with who we are.

63
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:51,250
Your father has done well.
Don't look down on us.

64
00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:54,250
You're the one who looks down.

65
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:56,290
The schoolmaster's daughter
who was too good

66
00:03:56,290 --> 00:03:58,930
for her market trader husband.

67
00:03:58,930 --> 00:04:03,250
I don't look down on anyone!
Least of all your father.

68
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:04,250
I do not care to place myself

69
00:04:04,250 --> 00:04:06,250
in situations
I don't feel comfortable.

70
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:08,250
You see, that to me,
is another kind of snobbery!

71
00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:11,450
Am I too early, Ma'am?
No, no, Ellis. Come in.

72
00:04:15,610 --> 00:04:18,770
We're finished here, aren't we?
If you say so, Mama.

73
00:04:22,250 --> 00:04:23,250
DOOR BANGS

74
00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:30,930
We've been asked
to the Duchess of Richmond's ball.

75
00:04:30,930 --> 00:04:32,090
Never!

76
00:04:33,290 --> 00:04:36,250
That is, we should make a decision
about your gown, Ma'am.

77
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:38,250
I'll need some time,
if it's to be just so.

78
00:04:45,250 --> 00:04:48,250
Miss Sophia seems, um...

79
00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:49,250
excited.

80
00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:52,250
I expect Lord Bellasis
arranged the tickets for the ball?

81
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,090
It may have been
the Duke of Wellington.

82
00:04:55,090 --> 00:04:58,250
Mr Trenchard
is a great favourite of his

83
00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:00,250
and the ball
is being given in the Duke's honour.

84
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:01,250
Yes. That must be it, ma'am.

85
00:05:03,250 --> 00:05:04,290
She told you, then? He's done it.

86
00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:07,250
Thank you, Ellis.
If you could come back later.

87
00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:16,250
What a chance it is.
The Duke himself will be there.

88
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:17,930
Two dukes, for that matter.

89
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:19,930
My commander
and our hostess' husband.

90
00:05:19,930 --> 00:05:21,250
Reigning princes, too.

91
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:24,250
James Trenchard, who started
at a stall in Covent Garden,

92
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:26,290
must get himself ready
to dance with a princess.

93
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:30,290
You will do no such thing.
You would embarrass us both.

94
00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:32,250
We'll see.
I mean it.

95
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:34,930
It's bad enough
that you encourage Sophia.

96
00:05:34,930 --> 00:05:38,250
Anne, I believe the boy is sincere.
I'm sure of it, in fact.

97
00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:40,090
You are nothing of the sort.

98
00:05:40,090 --> 00:05:42,250
Lord Bellasis, himself,
might even think he's sincere.

99
00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:45,450
He is not his own master
and nothing proper can come of it.

100
00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:49,450
MARCHING OUTSIDE

101
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:54,250
How strange that we should
be discussing a ball

102
00:05:54,250 --> 00:05:57,250
when we're on the brink of war.
How ridiculous.

103
00:05:57,250 --> 00:06:00,250
I don't agree.
With that, or about Lord Bellasis.

104
00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:02,250
Just know this,

105
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:04,250
if Sophia comes to any harm
through this nonsense

106
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:06,250
I will hold you
personally responsible.

107
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:07,250
Very well.

108
00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:11,250
And as for blackmailing him into
begging his aunt for invitations,

109
00:06:11,250 --> 00:06:14,610
I feel so humiliated.
Anne, you won't spoil this.

110
00:06:14,610 --> 00:06:18,250
I won't allow you to.
I don't need to.

111
00:06:18,250 --> 00:06:20,250
It will spoil itself.

112
00:06:29,250 --> 00:06:32,250
I hope this isn't a mistake.
CHUCKLES

113
00:06:32,250 --> 00:06:33,250
Too late for that sort of talk.

114
00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:36,250
What's so funny?

115
00:06:36,250 --> 00:06:38,610
Only that we came to Brussels
to escape Society

116
00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:41,090
and now we appear
to be giving the ball of the season.

117
00:06:42,090 --> 00:06:43,450
The Duke insisted.

118
00:06:43,450 --> 00:06:47,250
He said we needed to show
that nothing Boney could do,

119
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:49,250
could rattle the British.

120
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:54,250
Edmund! You're the very first.
How nice.

121
00:06:54,250 --> 00:06:56,250
I thought I'd come early
to lend you support.

122
00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:02,250
I must say, Aunt, you've made these
dreary rooms feel very splendid.

123
00:07:02,250 --> 00:07:05,250
No-one would know people were
choosing which coach to buy in here,

124
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,250
only a few months ago.

125
00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:10,250
Mr and Mrs James Trenchard.
Miss Sophia Trenchard.

126
00:07:14,250 --> 00:07:17,450
You've not invited the Magician?
What do you mean?

127
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:21,250
He's Wellington's main supplier.
What's he doing here?

128
00:07:21,250 --> 00:07:23,250
The Duke of Wellington's victualler?

129
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,250
I've invited a merchant supplier
to my ball?

130
00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:29,250
My dear aunt, you've invited
one of the Duke's most loyal helpers

131
00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:32,250
in his fight for victory.
You have tricked me, Edmund.

132
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:34,610
And I do not like
to be made a fool of.

133
00:07:34,610 --> 00:07:36,770
I hope your mother
isn't going to be cross with me.

134
00:07:40,250 --> 00:07:45,250
This is good of you, Duchess.
Not at all, Mrs Trenchard.

135
00:07:45,250 --> 00:07:48,250
I gather you've been
so kind to my nephew.

136
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:50,250
It's always a pleasure
to see Lord Bellasis.

137
00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:54,250
All those young men,
so far from home, poor things.

138
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:57,250
Well, if it isn't our Magician.

139
00:07:58,250 --> 00:08:01,450
Good evening, um, your, um,
Great, Great, um...

140
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:06,610
..Duke.
May I present my daughter, Sophia?

141
00:08:08,290 --> 00:08:11,250
Miss Trenchard,
may I escort you into the ballroom?

142
00:08:15,770 --> 00:08:19,250
I thought you'd never get here.
Don't be silly. We're very early.

143
00:08:19,250 --> 00:08:21,250
An hour away from you
is like a lifetime.

144
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:22,250
You read that in a book.

145
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:25,250
WHISPERS:
Can Edmund really be serious?

146
00:08:27,250 --> 00:08:31,250
The mother isn't too ridiculous,
the father is simply grotesque.

147
00:08:31,250 --> 00:08:33,250
I'll talk to Edmund later on.

148
00:08:33,250 --> 00:08:36,250
Wait until the ball is over
and the girl is gone.

149
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:39,930
And pray Caroline never finds out
I invited her here.

150
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:45,250
His Royal Highness,
the Prince of Orange.

151
00:08:49,250 --> 00:08:52,250
STRING ORCHESTRA PLAYS

152
00:09:00,250 --> 00:09:02,250
INDISTINCT CHATTER

153
00:09:04,090 --> 00:09:06,250
Why don't you call him Your Grace?

154
00:09:06,250 --> 00:09:08,250
Your Grace is for servants
and officials.

155
00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:10,250
Not for a private party.

156
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:13,250
But I've always called
the Duke of Wellington Your Grace.

157
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:15,930
Because you are his victualler.
Then I shouldn't do it tonight?

158
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:17,610
If you hadn't
procured our invitations,

159
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:20,250
you wouldn't be
in this invidious position now.

160
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:22,250
What brings the Magician
here tonight?

161
00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:25,930
Er, the Duchess invited us.
Did she, indeed?

162
00:09:25,930 --> 00:09:29,090
And has the evening
been enjoyable so far?

163
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:30,250
Oh, yes, Your Grace.

164
00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:33,250
But there has been
a good deal of talk

165
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:37,290
about the advance of Bonaparte.
Well, that's why we're so late.

166
00:09:37,290 --> 00:09:39,250
It looks as if
we'll be off tomorrow.

167
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:44,250
Am I to understand,
the charming lady is Mrs Trenchard?

168
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:49,250
Your calm is very reassuring, Duke.
Ponsonby.

169
00:09:50,250 --> 00:09:52,250
Are you acquainted
with the Magician?

170
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:56,250
I spend a good deal of time
outside Mr Trenchard's office,

171
00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:58,250
waiting to plead the cause
of my men.

172
00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:01,250
Mrs Trenchard,
may I present Sir William Ponsonby?

173
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:04,250
Ponsonby,
this is the Magician's wife.

174
00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:06,250
I hope he's kinder to you
than he is to me.

175
00:10:09,250 --> 00:10:12,250
BAGPIPES PLAY

176
00:10:19,770 --> 00:10:22,250
A splendid touch, Duchess.

177
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:25,250
My father did raise
the Gordon Highlanders after all,

178
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:27,770
so how could
their Commanding Officer refuse?

179
00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:29,250
How indeed?

180
00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:36,250
BAGPIPES CONTINUE TO PLAY

181
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:53,250
APPLAUSE, PRAISE

182
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:55,250
Have some, if you'd like to.

183
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:58,250
My mother is coming
to break us apart.

184
00:10:59,450 --> 00:11:01,250
Why is she so against me?

185
00:11:01,250 --> 00:11:04,090
She's convinced nothing good
can come of it.

186
00:11:04,090 --> 00:11:07,250
Well, then we shall prove her wrong.

187
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:10,250
You mustn't let Sophia
monopolise you, Lord Bellasis.

188
00:11:10,250 --> 00:11:11,250
You must have many friends here

189
00:11:11,250 --> 00:11:14,250
who would be glad of the chance
to hear your news.

190
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:17,250
Never fear, Mrs Trenchard.
I am where I want to be.

191
00:11:17,250 --> 00:11:20,250
That is all very well, my lord.

192
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:22,250
But Sophia
has a reputation to protect

193
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:25,290
and the courtesy of your attention
may be putting it at risk.

194
00:11:25,290 --> 00:11:28,250
I wish you would give me credit
for a little sense, Mama.

195
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:30,250
I wish I could.

196
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:36,090
My lords, ladies and gentleman,
supper is served.

199
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:22,250
You, Magician. Come with us.

200
00:12:22,250 --> 00:12:26,250
Your Royal Highnesses, your Graces,
my Lords, ladies and gentlemen,

201
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:29,450
much as I regret to interrupt the
Duchess' wonderful entertainments,

202
00:12:29,450 --> 00:12:32,250
I must ask those of you in uniform
to prepare to leave.

203
00:12:32,250 --> 00:12:35,250
The moment is almost upon us.

204
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:37,770
PANICKED CONVERSATION

205
00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:54,770
May we have the room for a moment?
Ponsonby, you have the map?

206
00:12:54,770 --> 00:12:56,250
I do indeed.

207
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:02,250
Orange has had a message
from Baron Rebecque.

208
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:06,250
Bonaparte has pushed up the road
from Charleroi to Brussels

209
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:07,250
and he's getting nearer.

210
00:13:07,250 --> 00:13:10,250
I've given orders for the army
to concentrate at Quatre Bras,

211
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:11,250
but we shall not stop him there.

212
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:14,450
You may.
You have some hours before daylight.

213
00:13:14,450 --> 00:13:17,250
If I do not,
then I shall have to fight him here.

214
00:13:17,250 --> 00:13:20,250
At Waterloo.
I shall need your help, Magician.

215
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:23,090
We will not fail
for lack of supplies.

216
00:13:23,090 --> 00:13:25,250
You're a bright man, Trenchard.

217
00:13:25,250 --> 00:13:27,250
You must use your talents well
when the wars are done.

218
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:29,250
I believe you have the potential
to go far.

219
00:13:29,250 --> 00:13:31,250
Your Grace is very kind.

220
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:34,250
But don't be distracted
by the gewgaws of society.

221
00:13:34,250 --> 00:13:36,250
You're cleverer than that,
or should be.

222
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:39,250
Enough.

223
00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:41,250
Let us get ready.

224
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:54,250
I must go to the depot.

225
00:13:54,250 --> 00:13:57,250
I'll put you and Sophia
in the carriage and I'll walk.

226
00:13:57,250 --> 00:13:59,250
Is it the final struggle?
I think so.

227
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:02,250
We've told ourselves every skirmish
was the last battle for years,

228
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:05,450
but this time I truly believe it is.
Where is Sophia?

229
00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:08,450
At least no-one will remember
their folly and indiscretion.

230
00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:12,250
Just bring her to the door, my dear,
whilst I fetch the shawls.

231
00:14:12,250 --> 00:14:15,250
Don't be silly, my darling,
nothing can happen to us,

232
00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:18,250
we are the luckiest couple alive!
We're the most in love.

233
00:14:18,250 --> 00:14:19,930
And when I get back,

234
00:14:19,930 --> 00:14:22,250
we'll laugh at your fears
and make merry. I give you my word.

235
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:24,250
And no gentleman
would break his word.

236
00:14:24,250 --> 00:14:25,250
Precisely.

237
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:30,250
Sophia...

238
00:14:32,250 --> 00:14:33,770
Take care of her.

What is it? You knew he must go.
It's not that.

242
00:15:01,250 --> 00:15:05,250
My dear, you must control yourself.
Come with me. Quickly.

243
00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:16,250
Go now. I will return when I can.

How long can it go on?
Until one side is victorious.

247
00:15:50,250 --> 00:15:52,450
But I don't believe
it can last much longer now.

248
00:15:54,250 --> 00:15:56,250
If Papa had sent news,
you'd tell me, wouldn't you?

249
00:15:56,250 --> 00:16:00,250
Of course, but he'll be far too busy
to think of us.

250
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:04,250
If Napoleon wins, should we escape
before his troops sack the city?

251
00:16:06,250 --> 00:16:08,930
Oliver, dear,
will you run and fetch Mama a shawl?

252
00:16:20,250 --> 00:16:21,250
You mustn't frighten him.

253
00:16:21,250 --> 00:16:23,090
How can you be so calm?

254
00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:25,250
What option is open to me?

255
00:16:25,250 --> 00:16:28,250
I want to run into the street
and scream.

256
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:31,250
Be my guest.
I doubt anyone would notice.

257
00:16:32,930 --> 00:16:35,250
But while you're there...

258
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:36,250
just pray they come home safe.

I was beginning to wonder if
I was ever going to see you again.

00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:52,250
We've done it.

264
00:17:52,250 --> 00:17:53,250
Boney's on the run.

265
00:17:53,250 --> 00:17:55,250
I say again, thank God.

266
00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:00,250
There's more news.

267
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:07,250
Not everyone
came through the fighting.

268
00:18:07,250 --> 00:18:09,450
So I should imagine, poor souls.

269
00:18:11,250 --> 00:18:13,250
The Duke of Brunswick is dead.

270
00:18:13,250 --> 00:18:17,250
Lord Hay, Sir William Ponsonby...
Oh.

271
00:18:17,250 --> 00:18:19,250
Well, we should pray for them.

272
00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:22,250
I feel our presence there that night
ties us to them all.

273
00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:23,250
Indeed.

274
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:24,770
Indeed...

275
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:30,090
There is another casualty that...

276
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:33,290
..you won't have
to imagine a link with.

277
00:18:36,250 --> 00:18:38,250
Viscount Bellasis.

278
00:18:42,250 --> 00:18:45,250
Don't say so. Do not say so.

279
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,250
Are they sure?
I went to the battlefield.

280
00:18:49,250 --> 00:18:51,250
After the fighting was finally over.

281
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:55,250
And a very awful sight it was, too.

282
00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:59,930
Bodies everywhere,
groans from the wounded...

283
00:19:01,610 --> 00:19:05,250
..scavengers
picking at the corpses...

284
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:08,250
Why did you go?

285
00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:11,250
Business.

286
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,250
Why do I ever do anything?

287
00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:16,250
I had to quantify
what had been lost.

288
00:19:18,610 --> 00:19:21,250
I heard Bellasis
was on the list of fatalities.

289
00:19:21,250 --> 00:19:22,250
I asked to see him. So...

290
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:25,250
..yes, I'm sure.

291
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:30,250
How is Sophia?

292
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:32,250
A shadow of herself since the ball.

293
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:37,250
No doubt dreading the very news
which now we must take her.

294
00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:40,250
I will tell her.

295
00:19:41,250 --> 00:19:43,290
I, I think it must be me.
I am her mother.

296
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:45,250
No. I will tell her.

297
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:49,250
You can go to her afterwards.
Where is she?

298
00:19:49,250 --> 00:19:50,250
In the garden.

The Duchess of Bedford
is expecting me.

00:21:23,250 --> 00:21:24,930
Mrs James Trenchard.

303
00:21:29,250 --> 00:21:32,250
Mrs Trenchard,
how good of you to come.

304
00:21:32,250 --> 00:21:36,250
The Duke tells me that Mr Trenchard
was most anxious that you should.

305
00:21:36,250 --> 00:21:39,770
The Duke has always been good
to Mr Trenchard, Duchess.

306
00:21:39,770 --> 00:21:41,250
Now, do you know anyone here?

307
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:43,450
Please don't worry.
I shall manage perfectly.

308
00:21:43,450 --> 00:21:47,250
I am so interested
by your invention of afternoon tea.

309
00:21:47,250 --> 00:21:48,610
It does seem to have taken wing.

310
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:53,250
Your Grace.
Please excuse me?

00:22:04,450 --> 00:22:06,250
Thank you.

00:22:12,250 --> 00:22:14,610
Oh! Well saved.

314
00:22:14,610 --> 00:22:18,250
Really,
what is this new-fangled tea?

315
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:19,610
It's not that I dislike
a light nuncheon

316
00:22:19,610 --> 00:22:22,250
to carry one through to dinner,
but why can't one sit at a table?

317
00:22:22,250 --> 00:22:24,250
I think the point
is that one isn't trapped.

318
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:27,090
We can all move about
and talk to whom we like.

319
00:22:27,090 --> 00:22:29,250
Well, I'd like to talk to you.

320
00:22:30,250 --> 00:22:34,250
Mrs Trenchard, let me introduce you
to Mrs Carver and Mrs Shute.

321
00:22:34,250 --> 00:22:38,250
They are so anxious to know you.
Aren't you going to introduce me?

322
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:43,250
This is
the Dowager Duchess of Richmond.

323
00:22:43,250 --> 00:22:47,090
May I present Mrs James Trenchard?

324
00:22:47,090 --> 00:22:50,090
And now, please let me introduce you
to Mrs Carver and Mrs Shute.

325
00:22:50,090 --> 00:22:53,770
Don't snatch her away.
I think I know Mrs Trenchard.

326
00:22:53,770 --> 00:22:55,610
You've a wonderful memory, Duchess.

327
00:22:55,610 --> 00:22:58,250
I would have thought
I was changed past all recognition,

328
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:00,250
but you're right, we have met.

329
00:23:00,250 --> 00:23:04,250
I was at your ball, in Brussels,
before Waterloo.

330
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:06,250
You were at the famous ball?!
I was.

331
00:23:06,250 --> 00:23:08,250
But I thought you had only lately...

332
00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:13,250
I must see
if everyone has what they want.

333
00:23:15,250 --> 00:23:17,250
I remember you well.

334
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:18,250
I'm impressed, if you do.

335
00:23:18,250 --> 00:23:21,250
Of course, we didn't really
know each other, did we?

336
00:23:21,250 --> 00:23:22,250
No.

337
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:25,250
My husband and I
were wished upon you.

338
00:23:25,250 --> 00:23:29,250
I remember. My late nephew
was in love with your daughter.

339
00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:32,250
Perhaps.
She was certainly in love with him.

340
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:34,450
How is your daughter these days?

341
00:23:34,450 --> 00:23:37,450
You see, I remember,
she was a beauty.

342
00:23:37,450 --> 00:23:39,250
What became of her?

343
00:23:40,290 --> 00:23:43,250
Like Lord Bellasis, Sophia is dead.

344
00:23:43,250 --> 00:23:45,250
Not many months after the ball.

345
00:23:46,250 --> 00:23:50,250
So, she never married?
No. She never married.

346
00:23:51,250 --> 00:23:53,250
I'm sorry.

347
00:23:53,250 --> 00:23:54,250
Truly.

348
00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:59,250
Funnily enough,
I remember her quite well.

349
00:24:00,250 --> 00:24:02,250
A real beauty.

350
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:05,250
Do you have other children?
Oh, yes.

351
00:24:05,250 --> 00:24:07,250
A son, Oliver, but...

352
00:24:07,250 --> 00:24:09,250
But Sophia
was the child of your heart.

353
00:24:10,770 --> 00:24:13,250
I know we're
supposed to support the fiction

354
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:14,770
that we love
all our children equally...

355
00:24:14,770 --> 00:24:19,250
Oh, I don't even try.
I am fond of some of my children,

356
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:21,250
on reasonably good terms
with most of the rest,

357
00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:25,250
but, I have two I actively dislike.
CHUCKLES

358
00:24:26,770 --> 00:24:28,770
How many are there?
14.

359
00:24:28,770 --> 00:24:31,250
Heavens.

360
00:24:31,250 --> 00:24:34,090
So, the Richmond dukedom is safe.
It would seem so.

361
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:41,250
Well, I have stayed too long
and I will pay for it.

362
00:24:45,250 --> 00:24:48,250
I've enjoyed our talk,
Mrs Trenchard,

363
00:24:48,250 --> 00:24:52,090
as a nice reminder
of more exciting times.

364
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:56,250
But I suppose this is the advantage
of the pick-up, put-down tea.

365
00:24:56,250 --> 00:24:58,450
We may go when we please.

366
00:24:58,450 --> 00:25:01,250
I wish you and your family well,
my dear...

367
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:05,250
..whatever sides
we may once have been on.

368
00:25:05,250 --> 00:25:08,090
I say the same to you, Duchess.

369
00:25:27,250 --> 00:25:29,930
SOFT MUSIC PLAYS

370
00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:45,250
You had a lot to say to my sister.

371
00:25:47,250 --> 00:25:51,250
Our hostess tells me that you
were at the famous ball in Brussels.

372
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:53,090
I was, Lady Brockenhurst.

373
00:25:53,090 --> 00:25:54,250
Yes. I am Lady Brockenhurst.

374
00:25:56,090 --> 00:25:59,250
And you are Mrs Trenchard, I think.
I'm flattered you've heard of me.

375
00:25:59,250 --> 00:26:00,770
I certainly have.

376
00:26:04,250 --> 00:26:06,250
These are too delicious to resist.

377
00:26:09,250 --> 00:26:11,250
It feels strange
to eat at this time,

378
00:26:11,250 --> 00:26:14,250
but I suppose we will still
want dinner when it comes.

379
00:26:15,930 --> 00:26:17,250
Please...

380
00:26:21,250 --> 00:26:22,610
Tell me, why were you at the ball?

381
00:26:22,610 --> 00:26:24,450
Did you know
my sister and her husband?

382
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:27,250
No. Not really.

383
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:30,250
I'd always heard of you both

384
00:26:30,250 --> 00:26:32,250
as the Duke of Wellington's
victualler and his wife.

385
00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:36,290
Seeing you here today,
I wonder if I was misinformed.

386
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:39,610
No. The report was accurate enough.

387
00:26:39,610 --> 00:26:43,250
Is Mr Trenchard still supplying
foodstuffs to his customers?

388
00:26:43,250 --> 00:26:45,250
He... must be very good at it.

389
00:26:45,250 --> 00:26:48,250
He went into partnership
with Mr Cubitt and his brother,

390
00:26:48,250 --> 00:26:51,250
when we returned from Brussels.
He manages their projects.

391
00:26:52,250 --> 00:26:55,250
The great Thomas Cubitt? Heavens.

392
00:26:55,250 --> 00:26:58,250
I assume he was no longer
a ship's carpenter by that time?

393
00:26:58,250 --> 00:27:00,250
You're right.
He started as a carpenter,

394
00:27:00,250 --> 00:27:02,930
but he devised
a new method for building.

395
00:27:02,930 --> 00:27:05,250
He undertook to employ
all the different trades involved,

396
00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:07,090
bricklayers, plasterers.

397
00:27:07,090 --> 00:27:10,250
So, the people he worked for...
Had only to give the commission.

398
00:27:10,250 --> 00:27:11,770
He and his brother
saw to everything.

399
00:27:11,770 --> 00:27:13,610
Very impressive.

400
00:27:13,610 --> 00:27:15,930
They were building
the London Institution

401
00:27:15,930 --> 00:27:18,250
in Finsbury Circus
when they met Mr Trenchard.

402
00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,250
I remember
the Institution being opened.

403
00:27:20,250 --> 00:27:23,090
We find it magnificent.

404
00:27:23,090 --> 00:27:26,250
After that,
they worked on Tavistock Square

405
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:29,250
and various other ventures.
Until they built Belgravia.

406
00:27:30,250 --> 00:27:34,250
This spangled city for the rich,
where we all live now.

407
00:27:36,290 --> 00:27:38,250
Well, what a story.

408
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:43,250
You are a woman of the New Age,
Mrs Trenchard.

409
00:27:43,250 --> 00:27:46,250
I hope I do not offend you.
Not in the least.

410
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:49,250
As for why we were at the ball...

411
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:53,770
..we were friendly
with a favourite of your sister

412
00:27:53,770 --> 00:27:56,250
and he got us invited.
And, who was this favourite?

413
00:27:57,250 --> 00:27:59,250
Might I have known him?

414
00:28:01,250 --> 00:28:03,610
Come, Mrs Trenchard,
don't be bashful. Please.

415
00:28:03,610 --> 00:28:05,770
You knew him very well.

416
00:28:05,770 --> 00:28:08,290
It was Lord Bellasis.

417
00:28:08,290 --> 00:28:10,250
And you? Did you know my son well?

418
00:28:12,250 --> 00:28:15,250
Mrs Trenchard,
would you like to come and meet...

419
00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:17,250
Forgive me, my dear,
Mrs Trenchard and I are talking.

420
00:28:25,250 --> 00:28:26,770
So, you were saying?

421
00:28:28,090 --> 00:28:31,250
Only that my daughter knew
Lord Bellasis better than we did.

422
00:28:32,250 --> 00:28:35,250
Brussels was quite a hothouse
at that time.

423
00:28:35,250 --> 00:28:36,250
We none of us knew what was coming.

424
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:40,250
The enslavement of England,
or a British victory.

425
00:28:41,250 --> 00:28:43,290
The uncertainty created
an atmosphere that was...

426
00:28:44,770 --> 00:28:47,250
..heady, wild and exciting.

427
00:28:48,250 --> 00:28:50,250
And the knowledge
must have hung in the air

428
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:54,250
that some of those smiling,
young men would not be coming home.

429
00:28:55,250 --> 00:28:56,250
Yes.

430
00:28:58,250 --> 00:29:00,090
They must have enjoyed it...

431
00:29:01,610 --> 00:29:04,250
..the glamour and the danger,

432
00:29:04,250 --> 00:29:06,930
because danger is glamorous
when you're young.

433
00:29:08,250 --> 00:29:10,250
So, where is she now?

434
00:29:14,250 --> 00:29:15,770
Sophia died.

435
00:29:20,250 --> 00:29:22,250
Now that I did not know.

436
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:25,250
It was quite soon after the battle,
so a long time ago now.

437
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:27,250
I'm so sorry.

438
00:29:30,290 --> 00:29:33,250
Everyone claims to understand
what you're going through, but I do.

439
00:29:35,090 --> 00:29:37,250
And I've learned
that it never goes away.

440
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:42,450
Oddly, I find that comforting.

441
00:29:43,610 --> 00:29:46,250
They say misery loves company.
And perhaps it does.

442
00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:47,250
Hmm.

443
00:29:50,250 --> 00:29:52,250
So, you remember Edmund?

444
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:55,250
Very well.

445
00:29:55,250 --> 00:29:57,250
He would come to the house
with the other young people.

446
00:29:58,250 --> 00:30:00,250
He was very popular, charming.

447
00:30:00,250 --> 00:30:04,250
Good-looking and funny as could be.

448
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:07,250
Oh, yes. All that and more.

449
00:30:20,250 --> 00:30:23,250
Do you have other children?
I'm so sorry.

450
00:30:23,250 --> 00:30:25,290
I remember now, you do not.
Please forgive me.

451
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:28,250
No. When we go,
there will be nothing left of us.

452
00:30:29,250 --> 00:30:30,610
Not a trace.

453
00:30:33,250 --> 00:30:37,090
But we are proud of Edmund still.
Of course you are.

454
00:30:37,090 --> 00:30:38,250
CLOCK CHIMES

455
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:41,090
I'm going now, Mrs Trenchard.

456
00:30:41,090 --> 00:30:43,250
I've enjoyed our talk
more than I anticipated.

457
00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:48,250
Who told you I'd be here?

458
00:30:50,250 --> 00:30:52,250
No-one. I...

459
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:55,250
I asked our hostess who it was
speaking with my sister

460
00:30:55,250 --> 00:30:58,450
and she told me your name.
I was curious.

461
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:02,250
I've spoken of you and your daughter
so many times,

462
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:06,250
it seemed a shame
to miss the chance of a meeting.

463
00:31:06,250 --> 00:31:07,250
I hope you're not sorry.

464
00:31:08,610 --> 00:31:10,250
I'm glad.

465
00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:14,250
You've made me feel
like I've seen him again...

466
00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:18,250
..dancing and flirting
and having fun in his last hours.

467
00:31:20,250 --> 00:31:21,450
I like to think of that.

468
00:31:23,290 --> 00:31:25,250
I will think of that.

469
00:31:27,250 --> 00:31:28,290
So, thank you.

470
00:31:39,610 --> 00:31:42,250
What was Mr Wilkie like?
Civil enough.

471
00:31:43,250 --> 00:31:45,930
A year after he painted my portrait,

472
00:31:45,930 --> 00:31:49,090
he painted the young Queen
at her first Council meeting.

473
00:31:49,090 --> 00:31:51,250
You'd have to pay twice
what I gave to get him now.

474
00:31:51,250 --> 00:31:53,090
DOG WHINES

475
00:31:53,090 --> 00:31:54,250
You only encourage her to beg.

476
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:58,250
Mama, you know I was alone
all afternoon?

477
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:01,250
I'm sure there are plenty of things
that could use your attention.

478
00:32:01,250 --> 00:32:02,250
That's not the point.

479
00:32:02,250 --> 00:32:04,250
What I mean is I could have
easily accompanied you

480
00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:06,250
if I'd been told
where you were going.

481
00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:09,250
But you weren't invited.
What difference does that make?

482
00:32:09,250 --> 00:32:12,250
Most women would have replied
saying they'd be happy to accept

483
00:32:12,250 --> 00:32:15,250
and they'll bring their daughter.
You're not my daughter.

484
00:32:17,250 --> 00:32:19,250
She is your daughter-in-law, Mother,

485
00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:21,250
which would mean the same
as daughter in any other house.

486
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:24,250
I don't think I would be justified
in taking someone, anyone,

487
00:32:24,250 --> 00:32:26,250
to the house of a woman
I barely know.

488
00:32:26,250 --> 00:32:29,250
A Duchess you barely know
and I don't know at all.

489
00:32:31,250 --> 00:32:32,250
So, who was there?
Anyone interesting?

490
00:32:33,770 --> 00:32:37,250
I talked to the old
Duchess of Richmond.

491
00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:39,930
We reminisced about our time
in Brussels at the ball.

492
00:32:39,930 --> 00:32:42,250
Oh, yes?
Her sister was there, too.

493
00:32:43,770 --> 00:32:45,450
You mean the mother of...
Yes.

494
00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:50,250
Did you speak with her?
Yes.

495
00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:52,250
And what did she say?
I'll tell you later.

496
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:54,250
We mustn't bore Oliver and Susan.

497
00:32:54,250 --> 00:32:56,250
I'm only bored,
because I wasn't there.

498
00:32:57,250 --> 00:32:59,250
I didn't see you
at the office today, Oliver.

499
00:32:59,250 --> 00:33:01,250
I didn't come in.
Why not?

500
00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:03,250
I went to inspect the work
at Chapel Street.

501
00:33:03,250 --> 00:33:05,090
Why have you made the houses
so small?

502
00:33:05,090 --> 00:33:07,450
Won't it put a dent in the profits?
When you develop an area,

503
00:33:07,450 --> 00:33:09,250
you must build
for the whole picture.

504
00:33:09,250 --> 00:33:12,250
You can't only have palaces.
You must house the supporters

505
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:14,770
of the princes
who live in the palaces,

506
00:33:14,770 --> 00:33:17,250
their clerks and managers
and upper servants.

507
00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:19,250
Then there must be a mews
for the coaches and coachmen.

508
00:33:19,250 --> 00:33:22,250
They all take space,
but it is space well used.

509
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:25,250
Have you given any more thought
to where we might live, Father?

510
00:33:25,250 --> 00:33:26,610
Well,
I'd be happy to give you the pick

511
00:33:26,610 --> 00:33:28,250
of anything empty in Chester Row.

512
00:33:29,250 --> 00:33:30,250
Aren't they a little poky?

513
00:33:30,250 --> 00:33:33,250
She's right.
They're too small for entertaining

514
00:33:33,250 --> 00:33:35,450
and I suppose I have
a position to keep up, as your son.

515
00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:39,250
They're less poky than the first
house I shared with your mother.

516
00:33:39,250 --> 00:33:42,250
I have been brought up differently
from the way you began your lives.

517
00:33:42,250 --> 00:33:45,250
If I have grander expectations,
it is you who have given them to me.

518
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:47,250
Well, well.

519
00:33:47,250 --> 00:33:50,250
We seem to be failing
on every count tonight.

520
00:33:50,250 --> 00:33:52,610
We'll be at Glanville next month.
I hope you'll come down.

521
00:33:52,610 --> 00:33:55,250
Perhaps you might stay
for a week or two?

522
00:33:56,250 --> 00:33:58,250
We will if we can.

523
00:33:58,250 --> 00:34:01,250
It's such a way.
Well, what about you, Oliver?

524
00:34:01,250 --> 00:34:03,250
You've always loved Glanville.
That is true.

525
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:07,250
But I'm, er, I'm afraid
Susan is not a good traveller.

526
00:34:07,250 --> 00:34:09,250
I'm ashamed to admit it,
but he's right.

527
00:34:09,250 --> 00:34:12,250
Two hours in a carriage
and it takes me a day to recover.

528
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:15,250
So, three days in a carriage
must be a trial, indeed.

529
00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:18,250
I hate to disappoint you
when I know you love it so.

530
00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:20,250
I suppose I feel
I brought it back to life.

531
00:34:20,250 --> 00:34:22,250
And in return,
the house brought me back to life.

532
00:34:22,250 --> 00:34:24,250
After Sophia's death, you mean?

533
00:34:25,450 --> 00:34:27,250
I'm going up.

534
00:34:31,250 --> 00:34:34,250
Don't stay too long over your port.
The servants need to get in.

535
00:34:43,770 --> 00:34:45,250
Can't you control her?

536
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:48,250
Apparently not.

537
00:34:48,250 --> 00:34:50,250
"Not Chester Row," she says,

538
00:34:50,250 --> 00:34:52,250
as if he'd threatened her
with cholera.

539
00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:55,250
"It's much too poky
for fine folks like we."

540
00:34:55,250 --> 00:34:57,250
And you should have seen
the look the Master got

541
00:34:57,250 --> 00:35:00,250
when he suggested
Mr Oliver did a hand's turn!

542
00:35:00,250 --> 00:35:01,250
LAUGHS

543
00:35:01,250 --> 00:35:03,610
I hope there's nothing untoward
on display in this room.

544
00:35:03,610 --> 00:35:05,250
No, Mr Turton.

545
00:35:05,250 --> 00:35:08,250
Mr and Mrs Trenchard pay our wages
and for that,

546
00:35:08,250 --> 00:35:11,250
they are entitled
to be treated with respect, Morris.

547
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:13,250
Yes, Mr Turton.

548
00:35:19,090 --> 00:35:21,250
Of course, they're not
what they like to pretend,

549
00:35:21,250 --> 00:35:23,930
it's only the more obvious
when they're alone.

550
00:35:23,930 --> 00:35:27,250
Mr Trenchard is respectable, polite
and honest to deal with, Mr Turton.

551
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:30,250
Mr Myles is the Master's valet,
Mr Turton, so he must know.

552
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:33,250
I've known far worse in households
headed by a coronet.

553
00:35:33,250 --> 00:35:35,250
I don't like to disagree, Mr Myles,

554
00:35:35,250 --> 00:35:37,250
but my sympathies
are with Mr Oliver.

555
00:35:37,250 --> 00:35:39,250
They've brought him up
as a gentleman,

556
00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:41,250
but now they seem to resent him
for wanting to be one.

557
00:35:41,250 --> 00:35:43,250
Why should Mr Oliver
ask for houses and estates

558
00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:45,250
that are grander than his parents'?

559
00:35:45,250 --> 00:35:47,250
What's he done to earn them?
That's what I'd like to know.

560
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:50,250
Gentlemen don't earn their houses,
Mr Myles.

561
00:35:50,250 --> 00:35:52,450
They inherit them.
I agree.

562
00:35:52,450 --> 00:35:56,250
Why shouldn't Mrs Oliver
have a decent house to entertain?

563
00:35:56,250 --> 00:35:58,250
She's brought enough money
to the table.

564
00:35:58,250 --> 00:35:59,250
It's illogical for the Master

565
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:01,250
to force them to live
in a rabbit hutch.

566
00:36:01,250 --> 00:36:03,250
I'm sorry to say it, Miss Speer,

567
00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:06,250
and I'm glad you think her
a good employer,

568
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:09,250
but I find Mrs Oliver
very hard to please.

569
00:36:09,250 --> 00:36:10,250
She's got a point.

570
00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:12,250
You'd think she was
an Infanta of Spain

571
00:36:12,250 --> 00:36:14,250
with all her airs and graces.

572
00:36:14,250 --> 00:36:16,610
But I've never had any trouble
with the Mistress.

573
00:36:16,610 --> 00:36:20,250
She's straightforward
and I've no reason to complain.

574
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:21,250
I am glad to hear it.

575
00:36:21,250 --> 00:36:23,250
We must feel some sympathy
for the Master.

576
00:36:23,250 --> 00:36:26,450
It's hard to get the trick of it
in a single generation.

577
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:28,250
I agree with you there, Miss Ellis.

578
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:31,250
We don't see these things
in the same way, Mr Turton,

579
00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:32,610
we'll have to agree to differ.

580
00:36:41,250 --> 00:36:43,250
Of course you can't tell her!
What are you talking about?

581
00:36:43,250 --> 00:36:46,250
But when she said,
"There'll be nothing left of us."

582
00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:48,250
You'd have been
as touched as I was.

583
00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:49,250
What, so you'd like the idea

584
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:53,250
that Sophia should be remembered
as a... as a harlot?

585
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:55,250
I would ask her to keep the secret.

586
00:36:55,250 --> 00:36:57,250
Of course I couldn't force her,
but...

587
00:36:59,250 --> 00:37:03,250
..do we have a right to hide from
her that she has a grandson?

588
00:37:03,250 --> 00:37:05,250
We've hidden it for more than
a quarter of a century.

589
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:08,290
I forbid it.

590
00:37:08,290 --> 00:37:11,090
I will not have the memory
of our daughter defaced.

591
00:37:11,090 --> 00:37:14,610
Certainly not by her own mother.
And get that dog off the bed!

592
00:38:14,250 --> 00:38:15,250
What is it?

593
00:38:17,250 --> 00:38:18,450
I'm going to have a child.

594
00:38:21,770 --> 00:38:23,090
What?

595
00:38:24,250 --> 00:38:26,250
When?

596
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:28,250
The end of February, I think.

597
00:38:29,450 --> 00:38:31,250
Don't you know?
The end of February.

598
00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:36,290
Do I have Lord Bellasis
to thank for this?

599
00:38:39,610 --> 00:38:41,250
SCOFFS

600
00:38:42,250 --> 00:38:46,090
You foolish, stupid, stupid fool.

601
00:38:47,250 --> 00:38:50,250
How did it happen? How...
how could you have let it happen?

602
00:38:50,250 --> 00:38:51,610
I thought we were married.

603
00:38:51,610 --> 00:38:54,090
Didn't you know
you needed your father's permission

604
00:38:54,090 --> 00:38:56,250
for it to be legal?
You're only 18!

605
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:58,090
Papa gave his permission.

606
00:39:01,250 --> 00:39:02,250
Your...

607
00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:03,770
your father knew?

608
00:39:03,770 --> 00:39:06,250
He knew that Edmund
wanted to marry me

609
00:39:06,250 --> 00:39:09,250
before he went back to the fighting
and he gave permission.

610
00:39:09,250 --> 00:39:13,250
Edmund found a parson to marry us
in a little chapel near the city.

611
00:39:14,250 --> 00:39:18,250
I now pronounce you man and wife.

612
00:39:19,770 --> 00:39:22,290
May we kiss?
With my blessing.

613
00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:31,250
Are we truly married?
Most definitely.

614
00:39:35,250 --> 00:39:38,250
Then we left
and went back to his lodgings.

615
00:39:38,250 --> 00:39:40,250
That's when it happened.

616
00:39:40,250 --> 00:39:42,090
I assume the ceremony was false?

617
00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:45,250
I never suspected it,
not for a moment.

618
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:49,250
Edmund spoke of his love
and our future,

619
00:39:49,250 --> 00:39:52,250
right up until the moment
we were leaving his aunt's ball

620
00:39:52,250 --> 00:39:55,250
on the night of the battle.
So, when did you find out?

621
00:39:56,610 --> 00:39:58,290
As we came out into the street...

622
00:39:58,290 --> 00:40:01,250
there was a group
of mounted officers,

623
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:04,250
in the uniforms of
the 52nd Light Infantry,

624
00:40:04,250 --> 00:40:06,250
Edmund's regiment...

625
00:40:08,250 --> 00:40:09,930
And?

626
00:40:09,930 --> 00:40:12,250
One of them was the parson
who had married us.

627
00:40:15,250 --> 00:40:16,290
He was a soldier.

628
00:40:16,290 --> 00:40:19,770
A friend of Edmund's, who turned
his collar round to deceive me!

629
00:40:19,770 --> 00:40:23,250
Now I understand what put you
in such a state that night.

630
00:40:23,250 --> 00:40:25,090
I thought it was simply

631
00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:26,250
Lord Bellasis
leaving for the battle.

632
00:40:26,250 --> 00:40:29,250
The moment I saw the man
I knew I'd been duped.

633
00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:32,250
I was not heading
for a golden future.

634
00:40:32,250 --> 00:40:35,090
I was a stupid girl
who'd been used as a streetwalker.

635
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:39,250
I suppose I clung to the idea
that Edmund might explain,

636
00:40:39,250 --> 00:40:41,250
but he was killed
before he had the chance.

637
00:40:43,250 --> 00:40:45,250
When did you know you were
carrying his child?

638
00:40:46,250 --> 00:40:48,250
I wouldn't admit it at first.

639
00:40:48,250 --> 00:40:51,930
I was like a mad woman.
I took foolish remedies,

640
00:40:51,930 --> 00:40:55,250
I gave a gypsy a sovereign
for what I'm sure was sugar water.

641
00:40:56,250 --> 00:40:58,450
But they all failed.
I am still enceinte.

642
00:41:00,250 --> 00:41:02,090
What have you told your father?

643
00:41:03,250 --> 00:41:05,250
He knows I was tricked.

644
00:41:06,250 --> 00:41:08,250
I told him that morning
he brought me the news

645
00:41:08,250 --> 00:41:11,250
of Edmund's death.
But he thinks I got away with it.

646
00:41:18,450 --> 00:41:21,250
We must go north, out of sight,

647
00:41:21,250 --> 00:41:23,250
while James makes arrangements
for the child.

648
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:27,250
I'll have a story ready by tomorrow,
but...

649
00:41:28,610 --> 00:41:30,250
..tonight I will speak
with your father.

650
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:34,250
Don't be too hard on him.
It was his dream as much as mine.

651
00:41:34,250 --> 00:41:36,250
You are a young girl.
You're supposed to have dreams.

652
00:41:36,250 --> 00:41:37,250
He's a parent.

653
00:41:39,090 --> 00:41:41,250
He is your father, for God's sake!

654
00:41:41,250 --> 00:41:43,250
He should have protected you
from believing them!

655
00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:04,250
PANTS

656
00:42:09,250 --> 00:42:12,250
BABY SCREAMS

657
00:42:14,250 --> 00:42:16,610
Mrs Casson, you're back.

658
00:42:16,610 --> 00:42:18,930
I'm afraid the baby
came very quickly,

659
00:42:18,930 --> 00:42:21,250
not long after you set out.
Is it healthy?

660
00:42:21,250 --> 00:42:22,290
Seems to be.

661
00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:26,250
But, Mrs Casson...

662
00:42:28,610 --> 00:42:30,250
..we can't stop the bleeding.

663
00:42:35,250 --> 00:42:40,250
I'm here. Tell me what I can do.
Have you seen him?

664
00:42:40,250 --> 00:42:44,250
The doctor says he's very healthy
and spry, my darling,

665
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:49,250
but now we must concentrate on you.
Look after him, won't you?

666
00:42:50,250 --> 00:42:54,250
Well, we'll look after him together.
Promise me, Mama.

667
00:42:54,250 --> 00:42:57,250
Whoever takes him in,
make sure they love him.

668
00:42:59,450 --> 00:43:03,250
Let's talk about all that
when you are well and rested.

669
00:43:03,250 --> 00:43:07,250
Give my best love to Papa
and try not to blame him.

670
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:09,250
Not for any of it. Please.

671
00:43:15,610 --> 00:43:17,250
And remember me.

672
00:43:20,450 --> 00:43:22,250
Oh, my darling child...

673
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:26,250
..as if I would not think of you
every day of my life.

674
00:43:27,610 --> 00:43:32,250
But now, you need to rest
and when you wake...

675
00:43:36,250 --> 00:43:37,250
Sophia...

676
00:43:38,450 --> 00:43:40,250
..oh...

677
00:43:40,250 --> 00:43:42,250
oh, dearest one.

678
00:43:43,250 --> 00:43:47,250
Sophi-Sophia!
