- Exactly.

Or he would
have told you.
335
00:23:29,865 --> 00:23:31,407
Wouldn't he?
336
00:23:40,907 --> 00:23:43,323
Seal Court's
over there.
337
00:23:43,407 --> 00:23:46,156
So how long
did Christabel live at
this Seal Court place?
338
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,907
Ages. The last 20
or so years of her life.
339
00:23:50,990 --> 00:23:52,824
Excuse me.
Sorry.

"To a dusty shelf
we aspire."
341
00:23:56,407 --> 00:24:00,448
You should drop by Seal Court
before the train.
342
00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:07,365
And what do you do
in London, Mr. Michell?
343
00:24:07,448 --> 00:24:11,156
Are you a teacher as well?
No, not yet.
I'm doing a fellowship.
344
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,073
- Which means what, exactly?
- On the dole.

00:24:17,448 --> 00:24:19,699
Um, my field's
Victorian poetry.
347
00:24:19,782 --> 00:24:22,448
We had a sort of poet
in this house once.
348
00:24:22,532 --> 00:24:25,156
Terrible, sentimental stuff
about God and death
349
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,031
and the dew and fairies.
350
00:24:27,115 --> 00:24:30,699
Why don't you show
this young man
Christabel's room, Maud?
351
00:24:30,782 --> 00:24:33,907
And why don't you
stay tonight?
352
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:36,865
You're under no obligation
to stay, of course.
353
00:24:36,949 --> 00:24:39,865
It's just Joan's way.
Misses our daughter.
354
00:24:39,949 --> 00:24:42,323
Quite a drive back,
actually.
No, we're fine.
355
00:24:42,407 --> 00:24:44,365
Oh, well.
356
00:24:44,448 --> 00:24:46,865
Hardly ever come up here.
357
00:24:46,949 --> 00:24:51,824
With the wheelchair,
of course, we bunk down
on the ground floor.
358
00:24:57,115 --> 00:25:00,323
I haven't been up here
since I was a child.
359
00:25:03,031 --> 00:25:06,532
Maud, is this the photograph
at your house?
360
00:25:06,615 --> 00:25:08,907
Yes, that's
Christabel's niece, May.
361
00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:10,740
That's my
great-great-grandmother.
362
00:25:10,824 --> 00:25:15,990
Christabel wrote dozens
of poems about this place.
363
00:25:20,490 --> 00:25:22,949
[ Maud Reading ] "What are
they who haunt our dreams
364
00:25:23,031 --> 00:25:25,281
"and weaken our desires
365
00:25:25,365 --> 00:25:27,281
and turn us
from a solid face."
366
00:25:27,365 --> 00:25:29,573
"And in the depth
of wintery night,

"Dolly keeps a secret
safer than a friend.

"No rush of action,
this is our doom.

To live a long life out
in a dark room."

Maud.
373
00:25:54,365 --> 00:25:56,657
It's pretty
incredible, huh?

00:26:04,115 --> 00:26:06,782
Fergus, it's me.
375
00:26:06,865 --> 00:26:10,907
I-I'm out of town tonight
on business.
376
00:26:10,990 --> 00:26:12,657
I've stumbled
onto a connection

00:26:12,740 --> 00:26:14,615
between Christabel
and Randolph Ash

God.

00:27:42,657 --> 00:27:44,573
I was so sure.
389
00:27:44,657 --> 00:27:48,365
Sympathy.
Sympathy.
390
00:27:48,448 --> 00:27:50,532
Sympathy, meaning what?
391
00:27:51,740 --> 00:27:53,699
Mutual affection
or understanding.
392
00:27:53,782 --> 00:27:59,281
Favor, pity, or even accord.
But that's not it, is it?
393
00:27:59,365 --> 00:28:01,865
That's not it at all.
394
00:28:03,156 --> 00:28:06,657
She uses silent sympathy
in a more classical context.
395
00:28:06,740 --> 00:28:09,949
Like structural support.
Dolly conceals it.
396

Yes, but not within,
beneath.

I'll be very careful.

Oh, God, we shouldn't
be doing this.

What do you mean,
we shouldn't be doing this?
402
00:28:46,156 --> 00:28:47,990
Why'd you drag me
up here, then?

I eagerly read
your mythic tales of mire

and found them
both charming and sad.

is richer.

to you, Randolph.
503
00:34:41,949 --> 00:34:43,281
Without children,
504
00:34:43,365 --> 00:34:44,824
without ever
any kind of physical--
505
00:34:44,907 --> 00:34:47,407
Nonsense, Ellen.
506
00:34:47,490 --> 00:34:49,573
Nonsense.
507
00:34:51,198 --> 00:34:54,365
There are many
types of love.
508
00:34:55,490 --> 00:34:57,365
All sorts.
509
00:34:57,448 --> 00:35:03,198
And ours
are good between us.
510
00:35:05,365 --> 00:35:07,532
It has been
most profound.
511
00:35:11,115 --> 00:35:13,782
[ Randolph ]
I must say to you
what is in my mind.
512
00:35:13,865 --> 00:35:17,115
I have called you my muse,
and so you are.
513
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:20,365
I could call you
with even greater truth...
514
00:35:20,448 --> 00:35:22,782
my love.
515
00:35:22,865 --> 00:35:26,990
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What? What?
Don't do that. What?
516
00:35:27,073 --> 00:35:29,740
So he sends his response.
He sends her more letters.
517
00:35:29,824 --> 00:35:32,407
She doesn't answer them.
She ignores them.
518
00:35:32,490 --> 00:35:34,990
[ Scoffs ]
Typical.
519
00:35:35,073 --> 00:35:38,031
No. She-She chose her life
with Blanche.
520
00:35:38,115 --> 00:35:41,740
It's not typical.
It's remarkable.
521

"I shall hope against hope
that this note is the dove

"which will return with
the wished-for olive branch.
523
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:55,949
My letters are like
Noah's ravens-- they have
sped out across the Thames."
524
00:35:56,031 --> 00:36:01,281
[ Randolph ] They have
sped out across the Thames
and yet have not returned.

00:36:01,365 --> 00:36:05,115
I send this note by hand
in the hope that
you might receive it.
526
00:36:12,573 --> 00:36:14,740
Where are the letters?
527
00:36:14,824 --> 00:36:16,949
They're gone.
528
00:36:18,949 --> 00:36:22,865
I tore them up.
I burned them.
529
00:36:22,949 --> 00:36:25,407
And the others
from my desk?
530
00:36:25,490 --> 00:36:27,156
The same.
531
00:36:29,573 --> 00:36:33,615
I beg for us
to be as we were,
Christabel.
532
00:36:33,699 --> 00:36:36,824
Sweetheart, please.
533
00:36:42,990 --> 00:36:45,573
[ Christabel ]
This house, so happy once,
534
00:36:45,657 --> 00:36:49,740
is full of weeping and wailing
and black headaches.
535
00:36:49,824 --> 00:36:52,198
I ask myself
to whom I may turn
536
00:36:52,281 --> 00:36:55,657
and think of you,
my friend--
537
00:36:55,740 --> 00:36:59,657
the unwitting cause
of all this grief.
538
00:37:06,824 --> 00:37:09,699
[ Randolph ]
I shan't forget the first
glimpse of your form...
539
00:37:09,782 --> 00:37:14,740
illuminated as it was
by flashes of sunlight.
540
00:37:14,824 --> 00:37:17,782
I have dreamt nightly
of your face
541
00:37:17,865 --> 00:37:20,824
and walked the landscape
of my life with the rhythms
542
00:37:20,907 --> 00:37:24,615
of your writing
ringing in my ears.
543
00:37:24,699 --> 00:37:27,240
[ Christabel ]
I shall never forget
our shining progress
544
00:37:27,323 --> 00:37:29,824
towards one another.
545
00:37:29,907 --> 00:37:35,281
Never have I felt
such a concentration
of my entire being.
546
00:37:35,365 --> 00:37:38,949
I cannot let you
burn me up,
547
00:37:39,031 --> 00:37:41,407
nor can I resist you.
548
00:37:41,490 --> 00:37:47,031
No mere human
can stand in a fire
and not be consumed.
549
00:37:52,699 --> 00:37:55,865
You mind reading
that last part out
one more time?
550

- That?
- Yeah.
555
00:38:19,615 --> 00:38:21,115
Thank you, and--
556
00:38:22,407 --> 00:38:27,281
"And I took your hand.
Mine rested in yours
557

with trust and relief."
558
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,115
Do you have regrets?
559
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:49,240
I should regret venturing out
to Crabb-Robinson's party
that evening.
560
00:38:53,156 --> 00:38:55,532
I should regret it,
but I do not.
561
00:38:55,615 --> 00:38:59,615
Not even in that
most sensible corner
of my heart.
562
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,573

and journey out of time
beyond our lives

568
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:41,532
This is unbelievable.
That was the last one.
569
00:39:41,615 --> 00:39:43,532
You're kidding me.
No.

00:39:45,532 --> 00:39:48,699
Well, did she go
with him or not?
Hands up!

- What's this then?
- [ Joan ] There's been
no harm done, George.
573
00:39:58,865 --> 00:40:00,699
How do we know
if harm's been done?
574
00:40:00,782 --> 00:40:04,448
I think it was very clever
of Maud to find your treasure.
575
00:40:04,532 --> 00:40:08,448
Yes. Well, must
take advice, Joanie.
576
00:40:11,156 --> 00:40:13,782
How long before Sir George
takes advice?
577
00:40:13,865 --> 00:40:17,782
He'll dither around for
a while, but not long.
578
00:40:17,865 --> 00:40:20,782
Blanche's diary has nothing
for that period.
579
00:40:20,865 --> 00:40:22,949
What about Ellen Ash?
Did she keep a journal?
580
00:40:23,031 --> 00:40:26,323
Yeah, in London,
but it's mostly just
boring housewife stuff.
581
00:40:26,407 --> 00:40:30,865
God is in the boring
housewife stuff.
We should check it.

Is that Dr. Heath?

No. Um, I'm a friend
of Maud Bailey's.

00:40:49,865 --> 00:40:51,740
I was wondering,
is she there?
587
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:56,490
No, she isn't.
Could you get off the line?
I'm expecting the doctor.

Oh, um, have you seen

It's not that kind
of a problem.

I live in that house
down there.
1179
01:34:40,615 --> 01:34:44,365
And my mother lives there
and my father
1180
01:34:44,448 --> 01:34:46,448
and my two brothers.
1181
01:34:46,532 --> 01:34:49,281
Oh, and my Aunt Christabel too.
1182
01:34:50,949 --> 01:34:53,740
Yes, I think
I know your mother.
1183
01:34:57,323 --> 01:34:59,532
You have
the true look of her.
1184
01:34:59,615 --> 01:35:04,949
No one else says that.
I think I look like my father.
1185
01:35:06,824 --> 01:35:09,490
You look like
your father too.
1186
01:35:12,073 --> 01:35:14,407
Can you make daisy chains?
1187
01:35:14,490 --> 01:35:17,323
Yes.
1188
01:35:20,156 --> 01:35:23,156
Yes, I'll make you a crown.
1189
01:35:24,824 --> 01:35:29,824
But, um... will you
give me a lock of your hair?
1190
01:35:31,573 --> 01:35:34,323
Like fairy story.
1191
01:35:36,031 --> 01:35:38,323
Just so.
1192
01:35:49,365 --> 01:35:53,281
Now, would you
take this note...
1193
01:35:53,365 --> 01:35:55,740
to your aunt.
1194
01:35:57,240 --> 01:36:00,156
Tell her that
you saw a poet
1195
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:02,657
who was coming
to meet her
1196
01:36:02,740 --> 01:36:04,990
but met you instead.
1197
01:36:05,073 --> 01:36:07,198
I'll try to remember.
1198
01:36:08,990 --> 01:36:11,031
Thank you.
