0:00:02 > 0:00:03Your mother died yesterday.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05I owe it to myself to be fair to Christopher.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08The move to Gray's Inn has been a success.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Germany's looking for a European war
0:00:10 > 0:00:12so don't fill your dance card in Berlin.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13He just knows everything!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Why, you're soppy about him!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Miss Wannop.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21You know what I want, I can't have.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22We've dreamed of this.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25I'm going to live chaste because I want to.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27God, the girl's in love!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29You have something to live for.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I am Sylvia...Satterthwaite.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Yes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34My name is...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36BOMBS EXPLODE
0:01:36 > 0:01:40My name is... TRAIN CLATTERS ON TRACKS
0:01:40 > 0:01:42MAN COUGHS
0:01:43 > 0:01:46My name is...

0:01:52 > 0:01:54BOMBS EXPLODE OUTSIDE
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I took the liberty of keeping back for you some lamb cutlets.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Supplies have been...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Oh, you're very good to me, Mr Penny!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So far we have the plovers' eggs, orange marmalade,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12one game pie, one pork pie, the strong cheddar...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And, oh, I don't know, a Dundee cake.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- All to go to Gray's Inn with your regular order, Mrs Tietjens?- No, no.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22To be delivered to Captain Hans Von Grunwald-Merks, Alexandra Palace.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Oh...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- SHE GIGGLES - I know!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28They've turned it into a prisoner of war camp for officers.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Yes, I remember the Captain. From Munich, I believe.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Isn't it ridiculous?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And a tin of toffees.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Thank you very much.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Sardines!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The butcher is still being beastly!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I thought that now Edward was in minesweepers
0:03:13 > 0:03:14instead of in Lewes jail...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18We should move to London anyway.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19I need to be available
0:03:19 > 0:03:22to the critics and journalists for my novel.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23And you need a job.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I will write to Mr Tietjens
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and ask him if he can do something.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30How can Mr Tietjens do anything? And why should he?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Don't you think he's got enough to do,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34murdering German soldiers for no good reason?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I meant his father, of course!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38MR Tietjens!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Does Christopher call you MISS Wannop?
0:03:40 > 0:03:41What else would he call me?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's you he's pals with.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44All right, well, don't get upset.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Why shouldn't I? The war has turned decent people into beasts!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Ordinary people,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52like Mr Hedges the butcher.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You can have my sardines.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57No, thank you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Oh, Mrs Duchemin telephoned!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Apparently her husband is about to be discharged from the asylum.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10He can't be! He's dangerous!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Cured. Sane as sixpence.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Naturally, she didn't sound too pleased.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Really, the vanity of those people.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Self, self, self!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- What people? - Why, the doctors, of course!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Duchemin was perfectly happy in the asylum.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Beautiful gardens. He wanted for nothing.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Now how am I going to..?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yes, I see...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34No, you don't!
0:04:34 > 0:04:35You've seen Vincent's rooms.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It costs money to make the right impression.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41How am I going to account to my husband upstairs?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Oh! And how much did you..?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46SHE WHISPERS A lot!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Vincent has a position to keep up now,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51since he has been honoured by His Majesty.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54As a Companion of the Order of the Bath...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- WATER DRIPS ABOVE - Edith, is he in the bath?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00You obviously haven't understood a thing!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03WATER DRIPS
0:05:06 > 0:05:07EDITH MOANS
0:05:14 > 0:05:18SOLDIERS WAIL AND COUGH
0:05:18 > 0:05:21BOMBS EXPLODE OUTSIDE
0:05:33 > 0:05:36HE WINCES
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Get down! Get down!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43NURSE: Stop him, someone!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Get him off him!
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Get down!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48MAN WAILS
0:05:48 > 0:05:52ORDERLY: You'll be all right, son. You'll be all right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54HE COUGHS
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Would you mind telling me where I am?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And how long I've been here? And...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12..what is my name?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Good morning, Brownie.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Did you sleep well?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28No.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh, dear. Are we in a mood today?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Why did you lock your door?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Oh, was that you?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Who did you think it was? That Irish thug?
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Well, it's no good talking to you.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41What did you ask me down for?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Not to have my doorknob rattled at 2am.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Sylvia, you KNOW how I feel about you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49I asked you down because you boodle petrol for your car.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53And to make up a four after dinner, and to be pleasant company for my mother,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55who, by the way, is not running
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- a house of assignation.- I swear, if you agreed to marry me...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And as you've just reminded me, I already have a husband.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I mean it, Sylvia.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08If you promise to divorce and marry me, I would wait, gladly.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I would be patient.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10It's all your fault, you know.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13For being so sweet to me when you want to be,
0:07:13 > 0:07:14for giving me hope.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Can I hope, my darling?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I love you like...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Oh, dash it! I wish I were one of those poetical types.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Oh, do try.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26What do you love me like?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Like...
0:07:29 > 0:07:30..like anything.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I love you like anything, Sylvia!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You're irresistible.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39But it's no good.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43As a Catholic I can't divorce, and even if I could,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Christopher has never given me any ground.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- I wouldn't be too sure about that. - But I AM sure!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Christopher is the straightest man I know.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54He makes me want to scream.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh, would you look at herself!
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Penthesilea to the life!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Wouldn't you say so, Lord Brownlie?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Good morning, Father.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I suppose you think that because you're a priest,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07you can say things I'd horsewhip any other man for.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Your mama says you would know the whereabouts of a good map,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11showing footpaths and the like.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Where would I find such a thing?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15In the window seat.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Is it to send to Germany?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20There's two battalions of the Irish Volunteers
0:08:20 > 0:08:22out there fighting the Germans.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26No, 'tis a nice, long, solitary walk.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28That's what I'm thinking of.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29With a packed lunch, maybe.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32That's my plan for today.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38..that's not what they say about your husband at the club!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Mmm! And what do they say? - Ask Paul Sandbach, for one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44But I'm asking you.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Your husband is debauched.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48SHE CLATTERS DOWN CUTLERY
0:08:48 > 0:08:50His pal MacMaster keeps a woman
0:08:50 > 0:08:53they share right under your nose,
0:08:53 > 0:08:54if you want to know.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58SHE LAUGHS
0:09:02 > 0:09:04They were seen on a train,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06going at it like monkeys.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Who was?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11THEY MOAN
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Tietjens and that woman. On a train coming down from Scotland.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Oh, for heaven's sake!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19They were seen by a whole crowd of us who'd been at Westershire's.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23SHE SOBS
0:09:23 > 0:09:25MacMaster and Mrs...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29I forget her name...had been caught out in a hotel in Scotland,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and Christopher was rescuing her.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33He was being gallant!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35HE SNORTS
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So you'd better stop spreading lies about my husband.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Ask your husband about the Wannop girl. I dare you!
0:09:53 > 0:09:57I don't know any Wannop, and you're only making it worse for yourself.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Let go.- 23 and fresh as paint.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Everyone knows Tietjens has been besotted with her
0:10:03 > 0:10:05ever since you went off with Potty Perowne!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08SHE WHIPS HORSE
0:10:08 > 0:10:11It was quite wrong of Sylvia to keep her hunter
0:10:11 > 0:10:15when every decent animal in the country has been taken by the Army.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18She's making me look unpatriotic.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Is that him?- Yes, sir.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Taking pictures of the shoreline, bold as brass.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Do you hear from your boy much?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Which one?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42No, anyway.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Christopher, a bit of a rip, is he?
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Not that I know.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52He's liaison officer with the French artillery.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- No, he isn't.- Eh?
0:10:53 > 0:10:58He went native and was sent back to the lines.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02The French wanted us to send out more of our territorials,
0:11:02 > 0:11:07but Kitchener said he needs them here in case the Germans invade.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10The Germans can't invade if we keep them busy where they are.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13That's what your boy told Kitchener's man.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- THEY CHUCKLE - Did he? Damn fool!
0:11:18 > 0:11:24Look here, there's some talk at the club against your boy.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26His wife's pro-German, they say.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31And he's...overstretched himself.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Bit of a rip altogether.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Young Brownlie seems to know a lot about it, I wouldn't know how.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Does your boy bank with them?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Of course he does. Brownlie's are the family bankers.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- Ah.- If I'd known my eldest wasn't going to sire,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I'd have looked to the young 'un better.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I'll let his brother ask about.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56See what's what.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Good morning.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Anything in the paper?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12No. The interesting news is never in the papers.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I heard last week that Algy Hyde
0:12:15 > 0:12:16had sold his wife to General Cranshaw
0:12:16 > 0:12:18for a commission in the blues,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21but you may look in vain in the newspapers.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26It came in my post. We who are doing work of national importance
0:12:26 > 0:12:28have to put up with the sex-fury of debutantes
0:12:28 > 0:12:31whose desires can't be accommodated under wartime conditions.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Ruggles, you know my young brother, Christopher?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I met him once before he went out. He was insolent.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44You might pick up what you can about him and let me know.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Glad to.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Ah, the funeral baked meats! - HE CHUCKLES
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Guggums! I'm in mourning!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I'm sorry, guggums.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05You do see, don't you?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It doesn't look well for a single man not to be in France.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11People don't understand I'm doing vital war work.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12No...yes!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- And now that I'm married I can keep...- Out of the trenches
0:13:16 > 0:13:18..keep my post at the department.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Clever guggums!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22To my dear husband.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- To my wife. - GLASSES CLINK
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'm going to be working in London too.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I've got a job as a school games mistress.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36To games...and mistresses!
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Guggums!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Tactless!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Ignore him.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Excuse me.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:14:14 > 0:14:17First class ticket, one way single to Waterloo.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Hand this in to the RAMC Duty Officer.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- He'll take over.- Sir.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04HE SNIFFS AND EXHALES
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Would you mind telling me what actually happened to you?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Something burst near me in the dark.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30I don't remember what I did.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33I remember being in the casualty clearing station
0:15:33 > 0:15:35not knowing my name.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40Your friends were dropping bombs on the hospital huts.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42You might not call them my friends.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I still wear my St Anthony to...look after you.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48See?
0:15:50 > 0:15:51I beg your pardon.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55One gets into a loose way of speaking.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Then some people carried pieces of a nurse into the hut.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Oh, Christopher...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08You cannot possibly conceive of the quantity of explosives
0:16:08 > 0:16:11the armies throw at each other for each man killed.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The shells make a continuous noise,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18sometimes like an enormous machine breaking apart.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Other times they come whistling towards you
0:16:23 > 0:16:25in a thoughtful sort of a way,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28and then go, "Crump!" and the screw-cap flies off,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30hurtling through the air, screaming.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34There's one kind of shell
0:16:34 > 0:16:38which comes with a crescendo like an express train, only faster.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Another kind makes a noise like tearing calico,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47louder and louder.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The largest kind of the ones which burst in the sky
0:16:50 > 0:16:52make a double crack,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55like wet canvas being shaken out by a giant.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Such immense explosions to kill
0:17:01 > 0:17:06such...small, weak animals.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I have to report to a tin hut on Ealing Common.- No, lie down.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17No, no, no! It's true!
0:17:17 > 0:17:21The War Office now has an outpost at Ealing.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I don't care.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'm have to go to the Camp Depots.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30They want me to give lectures to soldiers...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I'm so fond of you and Christopher.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Who, thank God, I hear is safe.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05He was not wounded, luckily, only concussed.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06Thank you, Lady Glorvina.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Well, a fresh start, then.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10I'll give you an address

0:18:13 > 0:18:14to present as your own work
0:18:14 > 0:18:17to some charity for distribution to our soldiers.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I'll do nothing of the sort!
0:18:19 > 0:18:20What an idea!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23The idea, Sylvia, is for you to engage
0:18:23 > 0:18:27in an act of public patriotism, to offset your exploits
0:18:27 > 0:18:30with the Esterhazys and Grunwald-Merkses,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33which have pretty well done for Christopher!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Do you mean to say those unspeakable swine
0:18:36 > 0:18:38think I'm pro-German because I sent toffees..?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's Christopher that suffers.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45He hasn't got on the way a man of his brilliance should have got on.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46A friend of his came to see me.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49A Mr Ruggles, he's something about the court.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53He came to ask me whether something might be done for Christopher.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58"It's almost as if Christopher has a black mark against him."
0:18:58 > 0:19:01That's how Mr Ruggles put it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And I'm the black mark, I suppose.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Do you know Major Drake?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Gerald Drake?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13I used to.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Before my marriage. Why?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22He's an intelligence officer.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Major Drake told Ruggles he's marked Christopher's file,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29"Not to be entrusted with confidential work".
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Christopher is the last decent man in England.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37How dare they put their knife into him!
0:19:37 > 0:19:38He's mine!
0:19:40 > 0:19:45There's an Irish priest caught spying for the enemy.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48His trial was kept secret.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Father Consett, almost part of the family.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Let's see...- On a train coming down from Scotland.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01Lady Claudine saw them, so did General Campion.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Brownlie painted an unpretty picture.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07The money his mother left him must have gone mostly
0:20:07 > 0:20:09to set her up with MacMaster.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12God only knows what arrangement they make over her.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13What else?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Sylvia's son is probably
0:20:17 > 0:20:21the result of an affair before her marriage.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23A man who's a member here.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Good God!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I'm sorry to put all this on you,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33but you want to know, I suppose?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Go on.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36And then, of course,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Christopher took her back after the Perowne business.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Broke his mother's heart.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Ruggles says Christopher's willing to sell his wife
0:20:44 > 0:20:46for money or favours.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I kept him short.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I let him go to the devil.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55As for his career, he's written off as more or less a French spy.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58But at least they're our allies.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04The worser part is, he got mixed up with a young woman,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08apparently a pacifist suffragette type.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Gilbert Wannop's daughter.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13My God!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Christopher and...?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18At least five people told Ruggles
0:21:18 > 0:21:21that he gave the girl a bastard before the war.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23That's enough.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And Groby will go to a Papist's child
0:21:33 > 0:21:35from the wrong side of the blanket.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41That's bitter, and I don't mind saying.
0:21:41 > 0:21:49We've held Groby in the English church through ten reigns,
0:21:52 > 0:21:53and I let it slip.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Father...

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Do you see, Michael?
0:23:55 > 0:23:59He wasn't a man to leave a wounded rabbit the wrong side of a hedge.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12The Riding will turn out for the old boy.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I'm not expecting much out of town.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17When grandfather died, half the club came up.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21I'd take it kindly if you'd include Mrs Wannop in the lunch party.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Ashtray, Jenkins.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Will the inquest be straightforward?
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Why shouldn't it be?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58A dozen farmers die the same way every year,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01dragging a gun through a hedge
0:25:01 > 0:25:03with the safety off.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05You'd agree?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Your new novel is in Hatchard's window.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I haven't read it yet.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Can't concentrate.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I had the stuffing knocked out of me.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55My book won't rescue me from journalism.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I've got to write an article about war babies
0:25:59 > 0:26:02and the girls left holding them.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04"The shame of our soldiers and sailors".
0:26:04 > 0:26:07The trouble is, there are no more babies than there were before,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09so I'm stuck.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13It must be that half the men are twice as reckless
0:26:13 > 0:26:15because they may be killed,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18and half are twice as conscientious for the same reason.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Oh, you darling man! You've just saved me!
0:26:22 > 0:26:26HE CHUCKLES My mind must be coming back!
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Yes!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32The new book has got me an invitation
0:26:32 > 0:26:34to one of MacMaster's tea parties.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Will you come with me?
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Ah. It is entirely possible that I may not.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Valentine, dear!
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Mr Tietjens.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I knew you were back, of course.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55- Mrs Tietjens must be...- Yes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57..very...
0:26:57 > 0:27:03- Um...I thought you were at... - Friday is my free afternoon.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'm just home to change, to meet Mrs Duchemin off her train...
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- You still pour tea for MacMaster? I thought now...- I do, yes.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12I'm very glad you're...
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Yes. Thank you.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Well, I'd better be getting back to work. Um...
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Mmm.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Mrs Cumfit, have you met my little white mouse?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02SHE GIGGLES Oh, how lovely!
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Rudi!
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Rudi, we are so looking forward to your next!- Thank you.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09A striking advance, Mrs Wannop.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Not only on your last book,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13but, dare I say, on Arnold Bennett's next!
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Oh, do, do come and hear Miss Delamare tell us
0:28:17 > 0:28:22about her triumph as Phedre in New York!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24You too, Mr Whipple!
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And they kept calling it, "Fedder!"
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- "I saw your Fedder, Miss Delamere!" - THEY GIGGLE
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It sounded slightly improper!
0:28:32 > 0:28:35So brave of you to go.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37One must for art.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41ROOM HUSHES
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Sylvia...
0:28:56 > 0:28:57..allow me.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Welcome, welcome.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Mrs Duchemin, my wife, Sylvia Tietjens.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12A pleasure! An absolute pleasure!
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Vinnie, of course, you know.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Sylvia.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Allow me to introduce Miss Delamere.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22A true artist and, I like to think, a great friend.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Is that Mrs Wannop?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Yes.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Oh...
0:29:34 > 0:29:35You're Mrs Wannop!
0:29:35 > 0:29:36The great writer!
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I'm Christopher Tietjens' wife.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Well, you're the most beautiful creature!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Come along, sit down!
0:29:45 > 0:29:47I'm longing to talk to you.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Oh, indeed, indeed, Mrs Tietjens.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- If you would like to sit here. - No, no! Mrs Wannop can sit there.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Come along. There we are.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Now we can talk.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Your mother is having a regular triumph.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04You're quite gay today.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06You sound different.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07I suppose you're better?
0:30:07 > 0:30:08I still forget names,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11but a small part of my mathematical brain came back to life.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15I worked out a silly little equation.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17What did you work out?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Oh, I looked over a problem of MacMaster's,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23really in a spirit of bravado, and the answer just came.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28You...
0:30:28 > 0:30:30do you really want to know?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Of course!
0:30:34 > 0:30:37The French were bleating about the devastation in bricks and mortar
0:30:37 > 0:30:39they've incurred by enemy action.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I saw it was no more than one year's peace-time dilapidation
0:30:41 > 0:30:43spread over the whole country.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- How wonderful. - So the argument for French command
0:30:45 > 0:30:48of the Western Front gets kicked out of court for a season.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53But weren't you arguing against your own convictions?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Yes, of course. But MacMaster depends on me.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02THEY LAUGH
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Oh, Christopher!
0:31:10 > 0:31:12These boys have got a motor.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14They're going to drive me to the Basils.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18All right. As soon as Mrs Wannop has had enough,
0:31:18 > 0:31:19I'll pop her in the Tube
0:31:19 > 0:31:21and I'll pick you up.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- KNOCK AT DOOR - Yes?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Thank you.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Evidently an oversight, my lord.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Who?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Tietjens!
0:31:53 > 0:31:54To his club...
0:31:54 > 0:31:57and the officers' mess.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Perhaps a letter to Mr Tietjens?
0:32:00 > 0:32:04No, send them back. Bounce them.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05My lord?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Send them back now. Within the hour.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Got you!
0:32:13 > 0:32:17Not that we set much store by these things,
0:32:17 > 0:32:22but the King is seeing fit to confer a knighthood on Vincent.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Oh! Edith, how lovely!
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I'm sure he deserves it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28It's not for mere plodding.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30But for a special piece of brilliance
0:32:30 > 0:32:32that marked him out at the office.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Oh, I know! He worked out some calculation
0:32:34 > 0:32:36to prove that French war damage amounts to no more
0:32:36 > 0:32:39than a normal year's peace time dilapidation spread over...
0:32:39 > 0:32:42How did you..? How could you possibly know that?!
0:32:42 > 0:32:45It's a dead secret!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Vincent must have told that fellow!
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Your...your...
0:32:48 > 0:32:52no, it wouldn't be Tietjens. He's no patriot.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Gray's Inn, please. - Though he is in uniform, Edith.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58What on earth do you dare mean?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01You may as well know, there's not a more discredited man in London.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You have personal interests at stake.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14In our position now, we cannot connive at your intrigue.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Intrigue? What can you mean?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20You brazen...you've had a child by that man, haven't you?!
0:33:20 > 0:33:22No, I certainly have not!
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Oh, let's not, Edith!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27For your own sake, remember you are a woman
0:33:27 > 0:33:28and not for ever and always a snob.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You were a good woman once,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32and you stuck by your mad husband for quite a long time...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Stop, stop, stop!
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Get out!
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Get out!

0:34:34 > 0:34:35'Hello?'
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- Can you ask if Christopher's there. - Is Mr Tietjens at home?
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Young woman,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47you'd better keep off the grass.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Mrs Duchemin is already my husband's mistress.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55'So, KEEP OFF.'
0:34:55 > 0:34:58You have probably mistaken the person you're speaking to.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00'Perhaps you will ask Mr Tietjens
0:35:00 > 0:35:02'to ring up Mrs Wannop when he's at liberty.'
0:35:05 > 0:35:07My husband is going out to war tomorrow.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10He will be at the War Office at 4.15.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12He will speak to you there.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20But I'd keep off the grass if I were you.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24SYLVIA HANGS UP
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Is Mrs Duchemin really your mistress?
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Or only MacMaster's?
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Or both?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57She's been Mrs MacMaster for six months.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59There's a party tonight to announce it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06What about that girl you were potty about at that horrible tea party?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Has she had a war baby by you?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Everyone says she's your mistress too.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18No, Miss Wannop is not my mistress.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24It upset Brownie so much,
0:36:24 > 0:36:28he's going to refuse your cheques just to please me.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Ah.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Do bankers do that, just to please their women friends?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40I told him it wouldn't please me at all.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46It's all the fault of this beastly war, isn't it?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Turning decent people into squits.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Yes, that's what it is.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Well, I've no right to put a spoke in that girl's wheel, or yours.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04If you love each other,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07I dare say she'll make you happy.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11I could wangle you out of going back.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Thank you.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16But I prefer to go.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Oh, Chrissie! He didn't!- He did.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29The club and my officers' mess bill.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30But if you needed money...
0:37:30 > 0:37:31I didn't.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34My account was overdrawn for a few hours yesterday
0:37:34 > 0:37:36because my pay slip from the Army was late.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Brownie will say so. I'll make sure.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39No, the damage is done.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Besides, I don't much care.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45But...this means your ruin!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49It almost certainly means my ruin.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Oh, Christopher!
0:37:51 > 0:37:54If you had once in our lives said to me,
0:37:54 > 0:37:58"You whore! You bitch!"
0:37:58 > 0:38:01or about the child, or Perowne...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05..you might have done something to bring us together.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09And I daresay, if you're shot...
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Christ...
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Between the saddle and the ground,
0:38:15 > 0:38:19you'll say that you never did a dishonourable action.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23In the name of the Almighty, how could any woman live beside you?
0:38:28 > 0:38:32But I never disapproved of your actions.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I'm done for you.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I'm not going to listen to you.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58You were let down at the beginning by a brute.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03So you have the right to let down a man.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06It's woman against man.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Now and ever has been.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Mark is going to walk me to the War Office.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42What have you done with the brass your mother left you?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I settled half on Michael.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48The rest I spent on the flat.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Furniture, my wife's rooms,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52some notional loans to people.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54MacMaster?
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I suppose his wife IS your mistress?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00No.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03I backed him just because he asked.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08If a lot of fellows knew that, you wouldn't have much brass for long.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10I didn't have it for long.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Did you settle money on the girl who had a child by you?
0:40:14 > 0:40:15I haven't got any girl.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17There's no child.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18I live on my pay.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22You had a cheque dishonoured at the club this morning.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24You'd better look over my pass books
0:40:24 > 0:40:26for the last ten years.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31This is no good if you don't believe what I say.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Then Ruggles is a liar.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Not really.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43He picked up things said against me. I don't know why.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Because you treat these south country swine
0:40:46 > 0:40:48with the contempt they deserve.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52I thought you'd been buried in their muck so long...
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Well, you'd better know what our father wanted.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57His idea was, if you were a pimp,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59you were to go to Hell on clean money, whatever it took.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02No good making a will. I was to see to it.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Well, you won't be a penny poorer for me.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07I won't take his money.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09You usually forgive a fellow who shoots himself.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I don't.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13I won't forgive him for not making a will, for calling in Ruggles,
0:41:13 > 0:41:16for not talking to me in the club the night before he died.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- That was stupidity.- I called in Ruggles, though.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I don't forgive you either. The whole damn lot of you.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Oh, keep your shirt on!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26You must take enough to be comfortable.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Groby will come to you anyway, if you don't get killed.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I don't want it.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34And I loathe your buttered-toast, mutton-chopped comfort
0:41:34 > 0:41:36as much as I loathe the chauffeured fornicators
0:41:36 > 0:41:38in their town and country palaces.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41My Marie-Leonie makes better buttered toast
0:41:41 > 0:41:42than you can get at the Savoy,
0:41:42 > 0:41:46and keeps herself neat and clean on 500 a year.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I'd marry the doxy if she weren't a Papist.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59We've seen the last of England.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02The professional army that saw us through the last hundred years
0:42:02 > 0:42:03is every man of them dead,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and civilisation has gone to war in their place.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09We're all barbarians now.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Look at this horror! And you in that uniform!
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Miss Wannop.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28This is my brother, Mark.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32I didn't know Mr Tietjens had a brother.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34- How do you do?- How do you do.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39I must speak with you, and then I'm going.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Is Edith your mistress?
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Certainly not.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54How could you ask such a tomfool question?
0:42:54 > 0:42:55You!
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Don't you know me?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Your wife said, "Mrs Duchemin is my husband's mistress,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07"so keep off the grass!"
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Isn't she a truthful person?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13She believes what she says,
0:43:13 > 0:43:16but she only believes what she wants to believe,
0:43:16 > 0:43:18and only for that moment.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25So it isn't true.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31I knew it wasn't.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Come along.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37I've have to get my movement order, then I'm free.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40I can't come with you crying like this!
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Oh, yes, you can. This is the place where women cry.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Besides, there's Mark. He's a comforting ass.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49- Oh, am I? - Here, look after Miss Wannop.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- HE PATS SEAT - Look here!
0:43:59 > 0:44:02My father wanted your mother to be comfortable.
0:44:02 > 0:44:03I'm here on business.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07You may take it as if my father left your mother a nice little plum,
0:44:07 > 0:44:09so that she could write books.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13Say, a lump sum giving her an annuity of £500.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Does that sound right?
0:44:15 > 0:44:19There'll be a bit for you, something for your brother...
0:44:19 > 0:44:20You haven't fainted, have you?
0:44:22 > 0:44:23I don't faint.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26I cry.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28That's all right.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I want Christopher to have somewhere to have a mutton shop,
0:44:32 > 0:44:33and armchair by the fire.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36Someone who's good for him.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39You're good for him.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47I'm going to see about Christopher.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48I think I can get him into
0:44:48 > 0:44:50looking after transport.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52It's a safe job. Safe-ish.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53No beastly glory about it.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56Do be quick, then! Do get him into transport at once!
0:44:56 > 0:45:00- Come on, let's get out of this. - I'm going in to see General Haggard.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02I suppose you won't shake hands?
0:45:02 > 0:45:04No. Why should I?
0:45:04 > 0:45:05Oh, do!
0:45:06 > 0:45:09You might get killed. You might think, while you're getting killed,
0:45:09 > 0:45:11"Oh, God! If only, I'd..."
0:45:11 > 0:45:12Or I might wish I had not.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16But...
0:45:17 > 0:45:19..oh, well.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28Will you be my mistress tonight?
0:45:28 > 0:45:31I'm going out at 8:30 tomorrow from Waterloo.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Yes! Yes, of course I will!
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Where?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38I'll give MacMaster's party a miss.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40No, no, you must go.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Come late. After 11 is best.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47I'll be at home. We'll have to be quiet, though.
0:45:47 > 0:45:48We'll be quiet.
0:45:50 > 0:45:51I tell you...
0:45:51 > 0:45:53from the first moment...
0:45:53 > 0:45:55I know!
0:45:59 > 0:46:01When did you..?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03My colours are in the mud.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06It's not a good thing to find oneself living
0:46:06 > 0:46:08by an outmoded code of conduct.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12People take you to be a fool.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14I'm coming round to their opinion.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16But we were in a carpenter's vice.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21It was like being pushed together.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25Every minute since the first moment, I've waited.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29Oh, my dear!
0:46:34 > 0:46:38A great thing, his knighthood.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Dining at the club tonight?
0:46:42 > 0:46:44No. I have resigned.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49The membership committee...well, the Duke, actually...
0:46:49 > 0:46:50well, your wife, in fact...
0:46:51 > 0:46:54..anyway, your resignation has not been accepted.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04- I understand I have to thank you. - Oh, Brownlie begged -
0:47:04 > 0:47:08begs - to have the honour of your continuing to draw on his bank.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10For that, too.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15- Are you leaving?- Yes.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19I have an engagement.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24Darling, could you please...
0:47:24 > 0:47:25one moment, please!
0:47:25 > 0:47:27One moment!
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- Ah, MacMaster, finally... - Excuse me, excuse me!
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Excuse me! Forgive me, please!
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Chrissie!
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Chrissie!
0:47:36 > 0:47:38Chrissie!
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Wait!
0:47:41 > 0:47:44You're not going?
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I...
0:47:46 > 0:47:48I wanted to explain.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52This...miserable knighthood...
0:47:52 > 0:47:54That's all right, old man.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58We've been pals long enough for a little thing like that not...
0:47:58 > 0:48:01I'm very...glad for you.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Truly.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08And Valentine?
0:48:08 > 0:48:11It's all right. She's at another party.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I'm going on.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16Tell her...
0:48:18 > 0:48:20..you may be killed,
0:48:23 > 0:48:27I beg you to believe, I will never,
0:48:28 > 0:48:30never abandon her.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Yes.
0:48:36 > 0:48:37Well...
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Well.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:49:55 > 0:49:58GATE OUTSIDE OPENS
0:50:07 > 0:50:10- Valentine!- Edward.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12HE LAUGHS
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Meet my friends, meet my friends!
0:50:16 > 0:50:17- Hello!- Hello.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20DRUNKEN SINGING FROM INSIDE HOUSE
0:50:30 > 0:50:31The trains...
0:50:40 > 0:50:43DRUNKEN SINGING CONTINUES
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Ah.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52It does make one believe in something.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56I'm so sorry, Miss Wannop.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12I suppose we are the sort...
0:51:13 > 0:51:15..that do not.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22But when you come back.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33That night we drove through the mist five years ago,
0:51:33 > 0:51:37you said I'd never take you to Groby.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39And I never will.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42I can't live at Groby with you.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46A trollop from the servants' hall to scandalise the parson,
0:51:46 > 0:51:50that would be understood, but not...
0:51:50 > 0:51:51not you.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54I'll be ready.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56I'll be ready for anything you ask.
0:52:02 > 0:52:03Oh, my dear!
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Come back.
0:52:15 > 0:52:16Gray's Inn.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26Walk on!
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Oh, don't tell me you didn't..?!
0:53:19 > 0:53:20You didn't, did you?
0:53:23 > 0:53:24Let's not quarrel now.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31There's something I've decided about.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Don't you dare tell me it was for my sake!
0:53:37 > 0:53:41Oh, she was ready to drop into your mouth like a grape!
0:53:45 > 0:53:48- SHE SHOUTS - How could you be such a skunk?
0:53:48 > 0:53:50I have to pack my things for France.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Oh, you might as well!
0:53:57 > 0:54:01Couldn't you bring yourself to seduce that little kitchen maid?!
0:54:08 > 0:54:09There'd have been a chance for us.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19I've decided about Michael.
0:54:27 > 0:54:28If I must to the greenwood go...
0:54:31 > 0:54:32Do you mean it?
0:54:32 > 0:54:35I may bring up Michael as a Catholic?
0:54:35 > 0:54:39A Roman Catholic. You'll teach him, please, to use that term.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41But I am obviously not the man
0:54:41 > 0:54:44to have charge of the future master of Groby.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47- I am not a whole man any more. - When did you..?
0:54:47 > 0:54:49When my cheques were dishonoured.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54- No! It was only that squit! - But I let it happen.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57My father believed the squits, too, but I let that happen.
0:54:57 > 0:54:58A man who can't do better than that
0:54:58 > 0:55:00had better let the mother bring up the child.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05I loved the little beggar with all my soul
0:55:05 > 0:55:07from the first moment I saw him.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Perhaps that's the secret.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15I thank God that he has softened your heart.
0:55:15 > 0:55:16You're to have Father...
0:55:21 > 0:55:23..F-Father...
0:55:24 > 0:55:27HE SLAMS DOWN BAG
0:55:28 > 0:55:31Not my heart, my brain!
0:55:31 > 0:55:32- Father Consett.- Consett!
0:55:36 > 0:55:38An intelligent priest.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41He'll teach as much sense as nonsense.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Father Consett was hanged.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46They dared not put it in the papers
0:55:46 > 0:55:47because he was a priest,
0:55:47 > 0:55:50and all the witnesses were Ulstermen.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55And yet I may not say
0:55:55 > 0:55:58this is an accursed war.
0:56:02 > 0:56:03You may for me.
0:56:44 > 0:56:45On no account
0:56:45 > 0:56:47is Mrs Tietjens to be allowed
0:56:47 > 0:56:48within 50 miles of Rouen.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51UTTER nonsense!
0:56:51 > 0:56:53I cannot have men commanded by an officer
0:56:53 > 0:56:55with a private life as incomprehensible
0:56:55 > 0:56:56and embarrassing as yours!
0:56:56 > 0:56:59I'm a woman desperately trying to get her husband back.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02But you wouldn't be a pacifist if your sweetheart was in the war,
0:57:02 > 0:57:05- would you, Miss? - More than ever, of course.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08Have you got a sweetheart in the war, Miss?
0:57:08 > 0:57:12I haven't had a man, Christopher, for five years.
