Almighty Father giver of all good gifts... |
| 00:01:43 |
... who of thy divine providence |
| 00:01:48 |
... with all things necessary to their bodily sustenance, |
| 00:01:52 |
Grant, we beseech thee, spiritual grace... |
| 00:01:55 |
... that we may enjoy it in |
| 00:02:00 |
... and render unto Thee |
| 00:02:07 |
No, my dear. We doctors can't do everything. |
| 00:02:16 |
Oh, my dear Dr. Chambers, you've done a great deal. |
| 00:02:19 |
Yes, but now it's your turn. |
| 00:02:24 |
Oh, if I could, I'd be downstairs now |
| 00:02:29 |
But if you shut a person up |
| 00:02:32 |
... you can't very well expect |
| 00:02:35 |
Tell me, Miss Elizabeth, |
| 00:02:39 |
No, hardly at all. |
| 00:02:41 |
Sometimes when I'm feeling venturesome, |
| 00:02:44 |
You know, the fact is a change |
| 00:02:49 |
Italy is the place for you. |
| 00:02:52 |
Oh, no, doctor. This is my Italy. |
| 00:02:56 |
You don't want to go anywhere, |
| 00:02:59 |
Confounded, my dear. |
| 00:03:02 |
Yes, and I'm doing it. |
| 00:03:06 |
And there are those |
| 00:03:10 |
Mr. Robert Browning has sent me several kind letters of approval. |
| 00:03:13 |
Never heard of him. |
| 00:03:16 |
I daresay. Well, I'm glad at least |
| 00:03:20 |
Eve if it's only poetry ? |
| 00:03:25 |
All right. One small verse to be written |
| 00:03:32 |
Oh, doctor, that reminds me. |
| 00:03:38 |
Do you remember papa suggesting to you |
| 00:03:44 |
Yes, and an excellent suggestion, too. |
| 00:03:48 |
I've had to drink it twice a day |
| 00:03:53 |
Bless my soul. |
| 00:03:56 |
You poor little lady. |
| 00:03:59 |
But if you did, Dr. Chambers, |
| 00:04:04 |
What would you say to |
| 00:04:07 |
I hate milk, but I'll drink it all day long |
| 00:04:13 |
Come in. |
| 00:04:15 |
Beg your pardon, Miss Elizabeth. |
| 00:04:18 |
Yes, Wilson. |
| 00:04:30 |
Well, goodbye, Miss Elizabeth. |
| 00:04:33 |
Eh ? |
| 00:04:36 |
I'll speak to him about it now. |
| 00:04:39 |
Goodbye, dear. Goodbye, old man. |
| 00:04:47 |
Thank God, away with it ! |
| 00:04:50 |
The Porter, Quick take it away |
| 00:04:53 |
Very good, miss. |
| 00:04:55 |
Since you haven't had your Porter... |
| 00:04:59 |
Now, take it away, please. Please. |
| 00:05:01 |
Very good, Miss Ba. |
| 00:05:03 |
Hello, dear. May we come in ? |
| 00:05:09 |
How was dinner ? Was papa... ? |
| 00:05:13 |
Awful awful, awful. |
| 00:05:15 |
Oh, Ba, dear, I do hope for all our sakes |
| 00:05:19 |
It won't be. |
| 00:05:22 |
Forgive me, dearest. |
| 00:05:25 |
But any good news seems to depress him so. |
| 00:05:29 |
In his way he loves us all. |
| 00:05:33 |
8 o'clock ! Oh ! |
| 00:05:43 |
Captain Cook ? Is he nice ? |
| 00:05:46 |
He seems quite nice. |
| 00:05:50 |
Do you think it's serious ? |
| 00:05:54 |
Do you remember when young Mr. Paul Frey |
| 00:05:57 |
The dreadful scene with papa. |
| 00:06:01 |
He's there. |
| 00:06:11 |
Oh, Ba, I wish you could see him. |
| 00:06:17 |
I can imagine. |
| 00:06:18 |
It's so mean. He'll wait there for hours. |
| 00:06:22 |
Just hoping that I can slip out for a moment. |
| 00:06:26 |
And so I will. |
| 00:06:28 |
But Henrietta. Papa ? |
| 00:06:30 |
It's dreadfully imprudent, dear. And not very ladylike. |
| 00:06:35 |
I don't care ! I... |
| 00:06:37 |
Hello, Ba dear. I've just cccome to see |
| 00:06:44 |
Come in. |
| 00:06:46 |
Ba, my dear, how are you ? |
| 00:06:51 |
Better, thank you. |
| 00:06:53 |
How's our dear tonight |
| 00:06:53 |
How's our dear Ba tonight ? |
| 00:06:55 |
How are you, Ba ? |
| 00:07:00 |
Do you think so ? |
| 00:07:03 |
What ? |
| 00:07:07 |
Well, Septimus. |
| 00:07:11 |
The doctor's just been here |
| 00:07:13 |
No ? |
| 00:07:16 |
Not looking quite so well, is she, Albert ? |
| 00:07:18 |
On the contrary, I think she's looking considerably better. |
| 00:07:22 |
What ? |
| 00:07:24 |
Come in, George. |
| 00:07:27 |
How's the world's greatest poetess ? |
| 00:07:30 |
The world's greatest poetess is much better, thank you. |
| 00:07:33 |
Hello, Flush, old chum. |
| 00:07:39 |
Come in. |
| 00:07:41 |
A note for Mr. George. |
| 00:07:42 |
I wonder what's in the note. |
| 00:07:44 |
A note ? |
| 00:07:48 |
Thank you. |
| 00:07:52 |
... the crowds must draw. Read it for us ! |
| 00:07:58 |
Given at our study at 50 Wimpole Street on this |
| 00:08:05 |
What is it, George ? |
| 00:08:07 |
You'll all be interested to learn that papa |
| 00:08:11 |
And what ? Go on ! |
| 00:08:16 |
George, will you Polk ? |
| 00:08:21 |
Ha ha ha you and me |
| 00:08:25 |
Ha ha ha you and me |
| 00:08:30 |
My wife and I lived all alone in a little brown hut we called our own |
| 00:08:34 |
She loves gin and I love rum |
| 00:08:38 |
Ha ha ha you and me |
| 00:08:42 |
Ha ha ha you and me |
| 00:08:47 |
Ha ha ha... |
| 00:09:06 |
Good evening, papa. |
| 00:09:25 |
I am most displeased. |
| 00:09:28 |
I think I have told not once but several times |
| 00:09:34 |
... it is not advisable for more than three of you |
| 00:09:38 |
You all of you know that she must avoid every kind of excitement... |
| 00:09:41 |
... and yet I find you rumping around her like a lot of disorderly children. |
| 00:09:45 |
I am gravely displeased. |
| 00:09:48 |
I am not aware that I have said anything amusing, Henrietta. |
| 00:09:53 |
I beg your pardon, sir. |
| 00:09:58 |
Showing Ba the polk. |
| 00:10:02 |
How to... |
| 00:10:03 |
to... dance the Polka. |
| 00:10:06 |
I see. |
| 00:10:07 |
Well, Ba, I think I'll say good night and... |
| 00:10:12 |
Sorry, sir. I thought you www... were done. |
| 00:10:17 |
No, indeed, sir. I assure you... |
| 00:10:18 |
Now... |
| 00:10:23 |
Perhaps you won't forgive my saying, Elizabeth, |
| 00:10:27 |
And that brings me to what I came here to speak to you about. |
| 00:10:31 |
... that you have persuaded him |
| 00:10:35 |
It needed very little persuasion, papa. |
| 00:10:37 |
I said I detested Porter |
| 00:10:41 |
I questioned him closely |
| 00:10:45 |
... and he was forced to admit that Porter came decidedly first. |
| 00:10:48 |
That may be, but when you dislike a thing to loathing, |
| 00:10:53 |
Your likes and dislikes |
| 00:10:56 |
But Dr. Chambers himself... |
| 00:10:59 |
But, papa... |
| 00:11:02 |
No. |
| 00:11:03 |
Then I hope you'll will do so before you go to bed. |
| 00:11:07 |
No, papa. That's really asking too much. |
| 00:11:09 |
I can't drink the horrible stuff in cold blood. |
| 00:11:12 |
Of course I have no means of cohersing you... |
| 00:11:14 |
... but I intend to give |
| 00:11:18 |
A tankard of Porter |
| 00:11:22 |
... you will be able to tell me that you have obeyed your father. |
| 00:11:25 |
Sorry, papa, but I shan't drink it. |
| 00:11:28 |
Henrietta, go and fetch a tankard of Porter. |
| 00:11:30 |
No. |
| 00:11:34 |
I beg your pardon ? |
| 00:11:35 |
It's sheer cruelty. |
| 00:11:39 |
You're just torturing her because you like torturing. |
| 00:11:42 |
I have told you to fetch a tankard of Porter. |
| 00:11:46 |
I won't do it. |
| 00:11:48 |
Obey me this instant ! |
| 00:11:51 |
Go and fetch it, Henrietta. Go at once. |
| 00:11:54 |
Oh, no, Ba... |
| 00:12:03 |
You had all better say good night to your sister. |
| 00:12:12 |
Good night, darling. |
| 00:12:15 |
Good night, darling. |
| 00:12:38 |
Give it to me, please. |
| 00:12:46 |
No. You may go. |
| 00:12:50 |
You may go ! |
| 00:13:08 |
Elizabeth, why do you look at me like that, child ? |
| 00:13:11 |
Are you frightened ? |
| 00:13:17 |
You're trembling. Why ? |
| 00:13:20 |
I... don't know. |
| 00:13:25 |
No, no. |
| 00:13:26 |
Don't say it. I couldn't bear it. |
| 00:13:29 |
You're everything in the world to me and you know that. |
| 00:13:31 |
Without you I should be quite alone and you know that too. |
| 00:13:34 |
If you love me |
| 00:13:38 |
You love me, my darling ? You love your father ? |
| 00:13:42 |
Then you will prove your love by doing as I wish. |
| 00:13:45 |
But I don't understand. I was going to drink... |
| 00:13:49 |
Listen to me, my dear. |
| 00:13:54 |
You shalll never know by deed or word or hint of mine... |
| 00:13:56 |
... how much you have grieved and wounded your father |
| 00:14:01 |
Oh, papa. Let us get this over with and forget it. |
| 00:14:06 |
I can't forgive myself for having made |
| 00:14:21 |
You're acting of your own free will and not... |
| 00:14:48 |
You're not feeling any worse tonight, my darling. |
| 00:14:52 |
No, papa. |
| 00:14:57 |
Yes, just tired. |
| 00:14:59 |
Shall I say a little prayer with you before I go ? |
| 00:15:05 |
Please, papa. |
| 00:15:18 |
Almighty and merciful God... |
| 00:15:20 |
in thine inscrutable wisdom |
| 00:15:25 |
... grievous and heavy afflictions. |
| 00:15:28 |
For many years she hath languished in sickness... |
| 00:15:32 |
... for many years, unless in thy mercy thou take her to thyself, she may languish on. |
| 00:15:37 |
Give her to bear her sufferings in patience. |
| 00:15:41 |
Give her to fix her heart and soul on thee. |
| 00:15:45 |
And on that heavenly eternity |
| 00:15:51 |
Amen. |
| 00:15:56 |
Amen. |
| 00:16:02 |
Good night. |
| 00:16:58 |
Good night, papa. |
| 00:16:23 |
Better see your bed now, Miss Ba. |
| 00:16:26 |
Oh, what a pity. |
| 00:16:31 |
Why don't they live longer ? |
| 00:16:32 |
Nothing lives in this room. |
| 00:16:35 |
What was that, miss ? |
| 00:16:38 |
Oh, Wilson, I'm so tired. |
| 00:16:43 |
Will it never end ? |
| 00:16:46 |
This long, long gray death of life. |
| 00:16:52 |
No, I suppose I shouldn't. |
| 00:16:54 |
Is it a fine night outside ? |
| 00:16:59 |
And there's such a lovely moon. |
| 00:17:01 |
Moon ? Do you think I could see it from here ? |
| 00:17:05 |
Pull back the curtains. |
| 00:17:08 |
There you are. |
| 00:17:11 |
Yes. |
| 00:17:13 |
Please put out the lamps, Wilson, |
| 00:17:17 |
I don't want to go to bed quite yet. |
| 00:18:46 |
Be careful. |
| 00:18:48 |
Don't talk to me. |
| 00:18:50 |
The woman opposite is watching. |
| 00:18:53 |
Listen. But don't look at me. |
| 00:18:56 |
It was kind of you to come so far. |
| 00:18:58 |
And in the snow. |
| 00:19:00 |
I wish I could ask you in, but I daren't. |
| 00:19:04 |
Aren't you freezing ? |
| 00:19:08 |
You're so tall. |
| 00:19:10 |
I wish I could see you in full uniform. Could I ? |
| 00:19:13 |
I daren't stay any longer. |
| 00:19:17 |
And in this weather. |
| 00:19:19 |
I'll come again tomorrow. |
| 00:19:22 |
Don't tell me. |
| 00:19:23 |
Goodbye. Goodbye. |
| 00:19:26 |
Hush ! |
| 00:19:28 |
If the thing were only in the proper footing... |
| 00:19:30 |
If you'd permit me to call on your father... |
| 00:19:33 |
You mustn't think of it. |
| 00:19:35 |
But if I made it quite clear ? |
| 00:19:39 |
But that would make it worse. |
| 00:19:43 |
I can't say that I do. |
| 00:19:46 |
A marriage in the family ? |
| 00:19:50 |
Yes, but I mean... |
| 00:19:53 |
Oh, I say ! |
| 00:20:13 |
Oh, yes, Wilson, I'm quite ready for my lunch. |
| 00:20:16 |
You've had your lunch, Miss Ba. |
| 00:20:23 |
Let's keep covered up. |
| 00:20:25 |
These cold days are are that treacherous. |
| 00:20:31 |
No, it's quite beyond me. |
| 00:20:34 |
Beg your pardon ? |
| 00:20:35 |
Wilson, have you noticed anything strange in me today ? |
| 00:20:39 |
Strange, miss ? |
| 00:20:43 |
Good gracious, no, miss. |
| 00:20:46 |
But now listen carefully and see what you can make of this. |
| 00:20:52 |
And after, for pastime, if June be refulgent |
| 00:20:57 |
All petals, no prickles, delicious as trickles of wine.. |
| 00:21:01 |
... poured at mass time |
| 00:21:03 |
And choose one indulgent |
| 00:21:06 |
Or if, with experience of man and of spider, |
| 00:21:09 |
June use my June-lightning, the strong insect-ridder, |
| 00:21:13 |
To stop the fresh film-work... why, June will consider. |
| 00:21:19 |
I call that just lovely, Miss Ba. |
| 00:21:22 |
Yes, but do you know what it means ? |
| 00:21:24 |
Oh, no, miss. |
| 00:21:28 |
Oh, no, Miss Ba. |
| 00:21:32 |
But then, real poetry never does, miss. |
| 00:21:34 |
Least ways not real poetry like what you make. |
| 00:21:37 |
Oh, but I didn't write that. |
| 00:21:39 |
Oh, he must be a clever gentleman. |
| 00:21:42 |
Oh, Ba. Cousin Bella is here. May she come in ? |
| 00:21:46 |
Oh. And Ba, just think. She's engaged. |
| 00:21:52 |
Cousin Elizabeth ! |
| 00:21:56 |
Dear, dear cousin. |
| 00:21:59 |
What's this I hear, engaged ? |
| 00:22:02 |
I just had to run right over and tell you. |
| 00:22:06 |
Isn't it too thrilling ? |
| 00:22:09 |
May I ? Oh, you'll love Harry. |
| 00:22:13 |
Harry Bevan. |
| 00:22:16 |
I want want you to be one of my bridesmaids. |
| 00:22:19 |
Bridesmaid ? |
| 00:22:21 |
Cousin Bella's engaged. She's going to be married. |
| 00:22:24 |
I want you te be a bridesmaid. |
| 00:22:28 |
It's going to be a great big wedding. |
| 00:22:32 |
You must help me to pick out the dresses. |
| 00:22:37 |
Don't you just love weddings, Henrietta ? |
| 00:22:41 |
And we're going to Paris on our honeymoon. |
| 00:22:43 |
And then to Rome. |
| 00:22:49 |
It'll be just too thrilling for words. |
| 00:22:51 |
And I'll be so happy to have you for a bridesmaid. |
| 00:22:55 |
Of course, I'd love to if papa... |
| 00:22:59 |
Object ? Isn't she funny, Ba ? |
| 00:23:02 |
You're only being asked to be a bridesmaid, |
| 00:23:05 |
Yes, I know, Bella. Oh, it's so hard to explain. |
| 00:23:08 |
You know what's the matter. |
| 00:23:13 |
We've got to obey his least will. |
| 00:23:17 |
We haven't got a soul of our own, not one of us. |
| 00:23:19 |
Or have we ? Have we, Ba ? |
| 00:23:21 |
I tell you, Bella. He'll more than likely refuse |
| 00:23:24 |
... and just because he's in a beastly temper. |
| 00:23:26 |
Oh, gracious, cousin Henrietta, |
| 00:23:30 |
And I'm afraid we're disturbing poor dear cousin Elizabeth. |
| 00:23:34 |
Poor, Ba. So pale, so fragile, so wisteria. |
| 00:23:39 |
One has only to see your dear face |
| 00:23:44 |
I wouldn't quite say that, Bella. |
| 00:23:48 |
... as if you already saw the angels. |
| 00:23:51 |
I really must be going. |
| 00:23:53 |
Goodbye. I'll come again and bring Harry. |
| 00:24:00 |
Oh, you mustn't tell anybody about my getting married. |
| 00:24:03 |
It's to be a big surprise. |
| 00:24:09 |
Men are really so easy to manage. |
| 00:24:13 |
But, of course, you girls have had so little experience. |
| 00:24:17 |
Goodbye, dear, dear cousins. |
| 00:24:29 |
Well, why don't you say something ? |
| 00:24:32 |
What do you want me to say ? |
| 00:24:35 |
Nothing. |
| 00:24:37 |
Oh, Ba, darling. Don't disown me. |
| 00:24:40 |
But I couldn't help it. |
| 00:24:42 |
I'm so miserable. |
| 00:24:44 |
Yes, and so wildly happy. |
| 00:24:47 |
Oh, Ba, darling. Do you mind if I tell you about it ? |
| 00:24:51 |
... because if papa ever found out you knew about it |
| 00:24:55 |
What are you talking about, dear ? |
| 00:24:58 |
Surtees ? |
| 00:25:02 |
Yes, I remember, dear. |
| 00:25:04 |
... and I had to tell him we must |
| 00:25:08 |
You're not talking sense, child. |
| 00:25:11 |
I don't know, Ba. |
| 00:25:15 |
Terribly. |
| 00:25:16 |
Oh, my darling. |
| 00:25:18 |
But Henrietta, papa... |
| 00:25:22 |
He'll never consent. Never. |
| 00:25:25 |
Ba, dear, is there anything at all |
| 00:25:30 |
Can it possibly be wrong |
| 00:25:34 |
long for babies of my own ? |
| 00:25:37 |
I know, dear, you're a woman apart. |
| 00:25:43 |
And what's natural can't be wrong. |
| 00:25:45 |
And yet the holiest men and women renounce these things. |
| 00:25:50 |
It's different for you. You're a great genius. |
| 00:25:52 |
Oh, yes you are. You've got your work, your studies. |
| 00:25:57 |
Sometimes I wonder. |
| 00:25:59 |
Are you completely satisfied ? |
| 00:26:02 |
Is it enough just to correspond |
| 00:26:06 |
Don't you sometimes wish that you could see him ? |
| 00:26:11 |
If I could see and not be seen. |
| 00:26:15 |
Because at heart I'm as vain as a peacock. |
| 00:26:18 |
He thinks my verse is stately and beautiful. |
| 00:26:23 |
It would be so humiliating to disillusion him. |
| 00:26:25 |
Oh, don't be silly, Ba. You're very interesting and picturesque. |
| 00:26:28 |
Isn't that how the guidebooks usually describe a ruin ? |
| 00:26:31 |
Oh, Ba, I didn't mean it. |
| 00:26:34 |
Tell me, is your friend very nice ? |
| 00:26:37 |
Yes. |
| 00:26:39 |
Oh, Ba, what are we to do ? |
| 00:26:42 |
Ba, do you think it would be wiser |
| 00:26:49 |
I think it might be wiser, dear. |
| 00:26:52 |
But at your age one shouldn't be too wise. |
| 00:26:56 |
Oh, Ba. |
| 00:27:00 |
Come in. |
| 00:27:03 |
A gentleman just brought this, dear. |
| 00:27:05 |
A gentleman ? |
| 00:27:08 |
Really ? |
| 00:27:14 |
Who is it from ? |
| 00:27:16 |
A moment, dear. |
| 00:27:20 |
Oh ! |
| 00:27:26 |
Oh, really ! |
| 00:27:29 |
Why, Ba, you're blushing. |
| 00:27:32 |
"Dear Miss Barrett, |
| 00:27:37 |
... and have taken it upon myself to select February 15th"... |
| 00:27:43 |
And I am at this moment seated |
| 00:27:47 |
Wait a moment, there's more. |
| 00:27:49 |
"I might add that I shall continue to sit here until |
| 00:27:56 |
Sincerely yours, Robert Browning." |
| 00:27:59 |
Oh, Ba, I like this Mr. Browning. You must see him. |
| 00:28:01 |
No, I can't. At least not today. |
| 00:28:06 |
Why not ? |
| 00:28:09 |
I shall go and see him myself |
| 00:28:12 |
No, Henrietta ! Stay here. |
| 00:28:16 |
Arabel, tell Mr. Browning that I am very sorry |
| 00:28:22 |
But Ba, that's not true. You can't send him away. |
| 00:28:26 |
Oh, fie. You're not a silly schoolgirl, I'll bring him up myself. |
| 00:28:32 |
Is my hair tidy ? |
| 00:28:36 |
Arabel, fix the covers. |
| 00:28:38 |
Flush, get down dear. |
| 00:28:42 |
Arabel... |
| 00:28:43 |
No... yes. No, never mind. |
| 00:28:47 |
Yes, dear. |
| 00:28:55 |
Arabel ! |
| 00:28:56 |
Arabel, do I... |
| 00:29:00 |
You do. Really. |
| 00:29:16 |
Mr. Robert Browning. |
| 00:29:23 |
Miss Barrett. |
| 00:29:29 |
Dear Miss Barrett, at last. |
| 00:29:32 |
At last ! |
| 00:29:35 |
I've had to put off the pleasure |
| 00:29:38 |
Yes, that is it. |
| 00:29:40 |
I beg your pardon ? |
| 00:29:41 |
I've heard that voice a thousand times. |
| 00:29:44 |
How strange. |
| 00:29:50 |
Won't you take off your cape ? |
| 00:29:53 |
Thank you. |
| 00:29:59 |
Wonderful ! |
| 00:30:01 |
Wonderful ! |
| 00:30:04 |
You may think, Miss Barrett, that this is the first time that I've been here, |
| 00:30:08 |
But... |
| 00:30:10 |
I've seen this room more times than I can remember. |
| 00:30:12 |
It's as familiar to me |
| 00:30:14 |
Before I came in |
| 00:30:17 |
Just how that tendril of ivy slanted across the window pane. |
| 00:30:21 |
And those portraits of Homer and Chaucer are quite old friends. |
| 00:30:25 |
No, really. |
| 00:30:28 |
You know, I could never make out |
| 00:30:31 |
Oh, come, Mr. Browning. I can't believe that one of my friends |
| 00:30:37 |
I have pestered them for all the details I could possibly get. |
| 00:30:40 |
And my imagination supplied the rest. |
| 00:30:43 |
Directly after I read your brave and lovely verses |
| 00:30:48 |
Oh, what they must have told you ! |
| 00:30:50 |
Oh, nothing they told me about you personally |
| 00:30:53 |
Because I knew it already. And better than they. |
| 00:30:55 |
Oh, Mr. Browning. Do my writings give me so hopelessly away ? |
| 00:30:59 |
Hopelessly, utterly, entirely. To me. |
| 00:31:02 |
Of course I can't speak for the rest of the world. |
| 00:31:05 |
I'm afraid it will be quite useless... |
| 00:31:07 |
... my ever trying to play act with you. |
| 00:31:10 |
I shall always have to be just myself ? |
| 00:31:14 |
But you, you're never yourself in any of your poems. |
| 00:31:17 |
It's always somebody else speaking through you. |
| 00:31:19 |
Yes, and shall I tell you why ? |
| 00:31:25 |
I am. really ! |
| 00:31:27 |
We didn't question that, Mr. Browning. |
| 00:31:29 |
So modest, I fully realize that if I wrote about myself |
| 00:31:35 |
Oh, but those poems. |
| 00:31:37 |
With their glad and great-hearted acceptance of life. |
| 00:31:40 |
You can't imagine what they mean to me. |
| 00:31:42 |
Here I am shut in by these four walls and... |
| 00:31:45 |
... and they troupe into my room, |
| 00:31:48 |
Out of every age and country and... |
| 00:31:50 |
... and all so tingling with life. |
| 00:31:54 |
No, you'll never begin to realize just... |
| 00:31:59 |
... just how much I do owe you. |
| 00:32:04 |
Of course you do, or you wouldn't say it. |
| 00:32:06 |
You don't find me difficult, obscure ? |
| 00:32:08 |
Many people do. |
| 00:32:10 |
Yet, to me it's simple and easy as the rule of three. |
| 00:32:14 |
No, not quite always. |
| 00:32:16 |
Sometimes there are passages that... |
| 00:32:21 |
Ah, Sordello. |
| 00:32:23 |
Somebody once called it a horror of great gothic. |
| 00:32:26 |
I've done my best to forget it. |
| 00:32:29 |
Here it is. |
| 00:32:41 |
But then, a passage torn from its context... |
| 00:33:02 |
All petals, no prickles... |
| 00:33:05 |
No prickles like trickles... |
| 00:33:11 |
Well ? |
| 00:33:14 |
... when that passage was written, |
| 00:33:17 |
Now, only God understands it. |
| 00:33:21 |
What do you say ? Shall we lighten |
| 00:33:24 |
No, indeed, we shall do nothing of the kind. |
| 00:33:28 |
I love Sordello. |
| 00:33:32 |
Of curse you would. And shall I tell you why ? |
| 00:33:34 |
Because it is a collossal failure |
| 00:33:37 |
By a failure you mean an attempt. |
| 00:33:40 |
Yes, you're right. |
| 00:33:44 |
I too am always making collossal attempts. |
| 00:33:47 |
And always failing. |
| 00:33:49 |
But is not one such failure worth a hundred small successes ? |
| 00:33:52 |
Oh, a thousand and more. |
| 00:33:54 |
But of course. I knew that. |
| 00:33:57 |
Miss Barrett, you smiled when I told you |
| 00:34:02 |
But what you've just told me |
| 00:34:08 |
Tell me, did your fancy paint |
| 00:34:13 |
The background possibly. |
| 00:34:19 |
Ardent and lovely looking out of you. |
| 00:34:21 |
Ardent and lovely. |
| 00:34:25 |
Too often impatient and rebelious. |
| 00:34:28 |
Oh, what of it. I've no love for perfect patience under affliction. |
| 00:34:31 |
My portrait is the portrait of a woman, not a saint. |
| 00:34:34 |
I suppose people have told you that I... |
| 00:34:37 |
... that I'm a dying woman. |
| 00:34:39 |
We are all of us dying. |
| 00:34:41 |
And you find me a very pitiful object ? |
| 00:34:45 |
I find you as I pictured you. |
| 00:34:49 |
And yet I'm not at all sure that my colors were too somber. |
| 00:34:52 |
But... |
| 00:34:54 |
Those colors are not yet dry. |
| 00:34:57 |
The whole background must be repainted. |
| 00:34:59 |
And if only you will allow it, |
| 00:35:03 |
But this is... |
| 00:35:04 |
I'll get my brush in the sunrise, the sunset and the rainbow. |
| 00:35:08 |
You say my verses have helped you but they are nothing. |
| 00:35:10 |
It's I, I who am going to help you now. |
| 00:35:13 |
We've come together at last, |
| 00:35:16 |
Give me your hand. |
| 00:35:17 |
I've more strength than is good for one man. |
| 00:35:19 |
Up to now I've spent a little of that surplus energy |
| 00:35:23 |
But there's still so much to give. |
| 00:35:27 |
Don't you feel in your life tingling and prickling |
| 00:35:31 |
Oh, please. |
| 00:35:32 |
Mr. Browning, please let go of my hand. |
| 00:35:40 |
Well ? |
| 00:35:43 |
... and in sober truth I... |
| 00:35:45 |
Don't tell me that you're afraid of me. |
| 00:35:47 |
It's life you're afraid of, and that shouldn't be. |
| 00:35:50 |
Life ? |
| 00:35:52 |
When life becomes a series of electric shocks I... |
| 00:35:56 |
Indeed yes. |
| 00:35:57 |
Do you affect other people in that way ? |
| 00:36:01 |
No wonder I hesitated |
| 00:36:04 |
You know, you'll laugh at me, Mr. Browning, |
| 00:36:09 |
... I was so panic stricken that I almost |
| 00:36:14 |
I think I must have been quite |
| 00:36:16 |
... and I'm anything but a nervous man as a rule. |
| 00:36:18 |
But that moment was the climax of my life. |
| 00:36:21 |
Up to now. |
| 00:36:23 |
Miss Barrett, do you remember the first letter I ever wrote you ? |
| 00:36:26 |
Yes, indeed. It was a wonderful letter. |
| 00:36:29 |
You may have thought I dashed it off |
| 00:36:32 |
... but I didn't. |
| 00:36:35 |
And of one sentence in particular. |
| 00:36:37 |
This sentence: I love your books with all my heart. |
| 00:36:44 |
Do you remember ? |
| 00:36:48 |
But there was nothing impulsive about it. |
| 00:36:50 |
That sentence was as deeply felt |
| 00:36:54 |
I hope I have many readers like you. |
| 00:36:56 |
It's wonderful to think I may have good friends |
| 00:37:01 |
I'm not speaking of friendship but of love. |
| 00:37:04 |
It's quite useless your trying to put aside the word with a smile and a jest. |
| 00:37:08 |
I said love and I mean love. |
| 00:37:12 |
I'm insanely in love as any man alive. |
| 00:37:14 |
In all these months |
| 00:37:18 |
And today you are the center of my life. |
| 00:37:22 |
If I were to take you seriously |
| 00:37:28 |
... promises to be very pleasant for both of us. |
| 00:37:30 |
Why ? |
| 00:37:35 |
... has no place, and can have no place in my life. |
| 00:37:38 |
Why ? |
| 00:37:41 |
as I told you before... |
| 00:37:43 |
... I am a dying woman. |
| 00:37:48 |
If that were so, God would be cruel. |
| 00:37:51 |
And life would be dark and evil, and I know that it's good. |
| 00:37:54 |
You must never say such a thing again. |
| 00:37:57 |
I forbid you to. |
| 00:37:59 |
Forbid, Mr. Browning ? |
| 00:38:01 |
Isn't it only fair that if you forbid me to speak with you |
| 00:38:05 |
... that I should be allowed a little forbidding as well ? |
| 00:38:07 |
Yes, but... |
| 00:38:09 |
Dear Miss Barrett, what a splendid beginning to our friendship. |
| 00:38:12 |
We've known each other a bare half hour |
| 00:38:17 |
We've oredered each other about and we've almost quarrelled. |
| 00:38:20 |
Could anything be happier or more promising ? |
| 00:38:24 |
With your permission, I'm going now. |
| 00:38:28 |
I promised myself to make my first visit as short as possible. |
| 00:38:33 |
Strangers are undoubtedly tiring. |
| 00:38:36 |
Not that I am a stranger. |
| 00:38:38 |
Still I could see that you're tired. |
| 00:38:42 |
I don't quite know. Will next Wednesday suit you ? |
| 00:38:46 |
Yes, I think so, but perhaps it would be better... |
| 00:38:50 |
At half past three again ? |
| 00:38:52 |
Au revoir, then. |
| 00:38:54 |
Goodbye. |
| 00:38:56 |
Au revoir. |
| 00:38:58 |
Au revoir. |
| 00:40:41 |
Splendid, splendid. |
| 00:40:44 |
Really remarkable. |
| 00:40:46 |
Once more, dear. |
| 00:41:06 |
My dear Miss Barrett I congratulate you. |
| 00:41:08 |
Now sit down. |
| 00:41:19 |
You've done wonders, doctor. |
| 00:41:24 |
The will to live is better than a dozen physicians. |
| 00:41:27 |
The will to live. |
| 00:41:33 |
Well now, Miss Barrett, about the future. |
| 00:41:35 |
I fully agree with Dr. Chambers |
| 00:41:39 |
I see no reason against |
| 00:41:44 |
Travelling South. |
| 00:41:48 |
Italy ? Oh, Doctor, do you really mean it ? |
| 00:41:52 |
I've taken the liberty to tell the doctor of the only real difficulty, |
| 00:41:59 |
Quite, and drastically. |
| 00:42:03 |
Papa may not raise any objection at all. |
| 00:42:05 |
It all depends on how he's feeling at the time. |
| 00:42:08 |
... Mr. Barrett's feelings are neither here not there. |
| 00:42:11 |
What matters is his daughter's health and happiness. |
| 00:42:14 |
And I intend to make it clear to him, quite clear. |
| 00:42:17 |
What a beautiful day it is... I must be going, Miss Barrett. |
| 00:42:22 |
I'm delighted with your improvement. |
| 00:42:24 |
Delighted. |
| 00:42:26 |
I'll put a little talk with your father. |
| 00:42:29 |
Goodbye, Miss Barrett. |
| 00:42:39 |
Italy ! Italy ! Italy ! |
| 00:42:42 |
And you are coming too, Flush. |
| 00:42:45 |
Rome, Venice and Naples. |
| 00:42:49 |
Only I'm not going to die. |
| 00:42:52 |
I'm not going to die. |
| 00:42:56 |
Yes ? |
| 00:42:57 |
Mr. Browning is here, Miss Ba. |
| 00:43:01 |
Very good, miss. |
| 00:43:06 |
Don't trouble, I'll go down. |
| 00:43:08 |
Oh, Miss Ba. You won't think of it. |
| 00:43:12 |
I shall not only think of it, but do it. |
| 00:43:14 |
What's more, I shall do it alone. |
| 00:43:16 |
You must let me help you. It's not safe. |
| 00:43:22 |
Let me alone, Wilson. I shall be quite all right. |
| 00:43:25 |
I can do anything. |
| 00:44:03 |
You see ? |
| 00:44:16 |
Mr. Browning. |
| 00:44:19 |
It is you ! |
| 00:44:21 |
Why this is magnificent. |
| 00:44:23 |
Magnificent. |
| 00:44:25 |
I... well I... |
| 00:44:28 |
And I did it all alone. |
| 00:44:32 |
A hundred ? |
| 00:44:35 |
This is only the first step. |
| 00:44:40 |
In the sun and fresh air. |
| 00:44:41 |
Come, come sit down. |
| 00:44:47 |
Oh, wonderful |
| 00:44:49 |
Wonderful. |
| 00:44:50 |
Here. Sit here in the sunlight. |
| 00:44:58 |
Careful. |
| 00:45:01 |
There we are. |
| 00:45:09 |
There. Now, that's the setting I've dreamed for you. |
| 00:45:12 |
The setting I'm going to keep you in. |
| 00:45:14 |
Now tell me. Tell me quickly. |
| 00:45:17 |
You've seen the doctors. What did they say ? |
| 00:45:19 |
Dr. Ford-Waterlow was quite taken out |
| 00:45:23 |
Say that again. |
| 00:45:26 |
I should like to see it in letters of fire |
| 00:45:29 |
This is the best moment I've had |
| 00:45:33 |
How many years ago was that ? |
| 00:45:36 |
So... we've always been friends. |
| 00:45:41 |
So he was almost taken out |
| 00:45:44 |
Splendid. Of course I never once doubted |
| 00:45:47 |
I've told you so a hundred times. |
| 00:45:50 |
And Italy ? Both doctors agreed about your wintering there ? |
| 00:45:53 |
This is wonderful. I'm quite off my head with excitement. |
| 00:45:56 |
Unless, of course, papa should withhold his consent and... |
| 00:46:01 |
When do they think you'll be fit for travel ? |
| 00:46:04 |
Unless there is a relapse. |
| 00:46:06 |
Relapse ? Why, there isn't such a word. |
| 00:46:08 |
October ? |
| 00:46:11 |
You know, October suits my own plans to perfection. |
| 00:46:14 |
Your plans ? |
| 00:46:18 |
Well, now I'm quite decided. |
| 00:46:35 |
Oh, papa, isn't it wonderful ? |
| 00:46:38 |
I walked downstairs. |
| 00:46:41 |
So I observe. |
| 00:46:43 |
A miracle, sir. |
| 00:46:56 |
Did your doctors authorize this amazing imprudence ? |
| 00:46:59 |
I should not have been surprised if they had. |
| 00:47:03 |
I thought there should be dancing in the streets. |
| 00:47:05 |
Mr. Browning, my daughter's health |
| 00:47:10 |
You'll permit me to remind you that |
| 00:47:15 |
I shall carry you to your room. |
| 00:47:18 |
Oh, no, papa. |
| 00:47:19 |
I don't need you, really. |
| 00:47:21 |
Mr. Browning, I must say goodbye. |
| 00:47:23 |
Thank you for calling. |
| 00:47:31 |
Elizabeth. |
| 00:47:50 |
Elizabeth. |
| 00:47:59 |
You can't do it. |
| 00:48:10 |
Elizabeth. |
| 00:48:51 |
There, my child. |
| 00:48:55 |
I could have done this. |
| 00:48:58 |
All this talk and activity is most harmful. |
| 00:49:02 |
I'd appreciate it if you tried to get a little sleep. |
| 00:49:08 |
Papa. |
| 00:49:11 |
I'm all right, really I am. |
| 00:49:14 |
Dr. Ford-Waterlow said I was. Didn't he tell you ? |
| 00:49:17 |
Dr. Ford-Waterlow talked, |
| 00:49:20 |
But papa... |
| 00:49:24 |
I'm delighted, of course, my poor child, |
| 00:49:27 |
But I do feel so much better. |
| 00:49:29 |
Perhaps it's the wonderful weather we've been having. |
| 00:49:32 |
I always thrive in warmth, sunshine... |
| 00:49:36 |
No, to my mind there is |
| 00:49:40 |
... though this doctor whatsisname |
| 00:49:43 |
Him ? |
| 00:49:46 |
That's all I have to say at present. |
| 00:49:51 |
Papa. |
| 00:49:53 |
Didn't he tell you that I should avoid spending next winter in England ? |
| 00:49:56 |
Well... |
| 00:49:59 |
And that he thinks |
| 00:50:03 |
If you... |
| 00:50:06 |
... it's out at last. |
| 00:50:08 |
And how long has this precious plot been hatching, may I ask ? |
| 00:50:12 |
You've discussed your plans |
| 00:50:15 |
... with this Browning fellow too. |
| 00:50:20 |
Treated like a cypher, insultant. |
| 00:50:22 |
Insultant ? |
| 00:50:29 |
... should be capable of such underhand conduct. |
| 00:50:33 |
If returning health must bring |
| 00:50:37 |
I should be driven to wish |
| 00:50:42 |
There's nothing more to be said. |
| 00:50:45 |
And I must beg you to listen, papa. |
| 00:50:49 |
How many years have I lain here ? |
| 00:50:51 |
Five, six ? It's hard to remember, |
| 00:50:54 |
And all that time I've had nothing |
| 00:50:57 |
Death ? |
| 00:51:00 |
I was born with a large capacity for happiness. |
| 00:51:04 |
And then when life brought me a little happiness |
| 00:51:08 |
Elizabeth ! |
| 00:51:12 |
Day by day I'm better able to take and enjoy |
| 00:51:17 |
Able to meet my friends, to breathe the open air, |
| 00:51:22 |
When Dr. Chambers first spoke to me about Italy... |
| 00:51:25 |
I put the idea from me. |
| 00:51:29 |
But as I grew stronger, it came over me as a revelation |
| 00:51:35 |
That nothing stood in my way of going. |
| 00:51:39 |
Right ? |
| 00:51:41 |
In my eagerness, I may have acted mistakenly, stupidly, tactlessly... |
| 00:51:45 |
... but to call my conduct underhanded, deceitful is more than unkind. |
| 00:51:52 |
Cruel. |
| 00:51:56 |
Self, self, self. |
| 00:51:59 |
No thought, no consideration for anyone but yourself. |
| 00:52:04 |
Didn't it ever once occur to you |
| 00:52:07 |
that you propose to enjoy yourself in Italy |
| 00:52:11 |
No. |
| 00:52:14 |
Your brothers and sisters |
| 00:52:18 |
And you, oh my child, don't think that I haven't noticed |
| 00:52:25 |
That's not true. |
| 00:52:29 |
... and little by little I'm being pushed into the background. |
| 00:52:32 |
I who used to be your whole world, I who loved you... |
| 00:52:35 |
... who love you. |
| 00:52:37 |
No, there's nothing more to be said. |
| 00:52:45 |
You want my consent for this Italian trot. |
| 00:52:47 |
I shall neither give it nor uphold it. |
| 00:52:50 |
If you go I hope you will sometimes |
| 00:52:54 |
Think of him at night, stealing alone |
| 00:53:00 |
Think of him kneeling alone |
| 00:53:04 |
Who's that ? |
| 00:53:21 |
I shall come to you again |
| 00:53:46 |
Well, Flush... |
| 00:53:48 |
It seems we aren't going to Italy. |
| 00:54:02 |
Cousin Elizabeth. |
| 00:54:05 |
I brought Harry to see you. |
| 00:54:07 |
This is my fiancé, my dear, dear Harry. |
| 00:54:11 |
Mr. Bevan, Miss Elizabeth Barrett. |
| 00:54:15 |
No, no, Harry. You must take her hand. |
| 00:54:17 |
Such a little hand, so frail, so spiritual. |
| 00:54:21 |
Yes. And a hand that pens so much that is noble and eloquent. |
| 00:54:26 |
I am honored, Miss Barrett. |
| 00:54:28 |
Thank you. |
| 00:54:33 |
I trust you're not too weary |
| 00:54:37 |
Thank you, Miss Barrett. A prize indeed. |
| 00:54:41 |
Dear Ba. And doesn't Henrietta look lovely ? |
| 00:54:45 |
She'll be quite the prettiest of my bridesmaids. |
| 00:54:47 |
Indeed I'm afraid she'll draw all eyes from the little bride. |
| 00:54:53 |
Oh, Bella, dear... |
| 00:54:59 |
Yes, my dear, you certainly have a way with you. |
| 00:55:02 |
Spoken to papa ? I like that. |
| 00:55:06 |
And why not ? |
| 00:55:08 |
And besides that, I think he's most frightfully thrilling. |
| 00:55:12 |
I adore that stern and gloomy type of gentlemen. |
| 00:55:15 |
Oh, come, come, my pet. |
| 00:55:18 |
And I must tell you, Ba, how much I adore your poems. |
| 00:55:25 |
He reads so beautifully. |
| 00:55:29 |
Which ought to please you, as he's dreadfully critical. |
| 00:55:32 |
Dear Harry is so frightfully earnest. |
| 00:55:35 |
Yes ? |
| 00:55:40 |
Oh... |
| 00:55:43 |
Ask him to wait, please. |
| 00:55:48 |
We have to go downstairs and have tea with Uncle Edward. |
| 00:55:51 |
And besides, we wouldn't dream of interrupting your tête-à-tête. |
| 00:55:54 |
Isn't it thrilling, Harry ? Mr. Browning, a poet. |
| 00:56:00 |
So quaint, my pet, quaint. |
| 00:56:02 |
Ask Mr. Browning to come up now, Wilson. |
| 00:56:04 |
Yes, and I'm quite sure that the tea is ready. |
| 00:56:07 |
Arivederci, dearest Ba. |
| 00:56:09 |
May I come soon again ? |
| 00:56:13 |
Next time I shall want you all to myself. |
| 00:56:15 |
Without Harry. |
| 00:56:18 |
Because I keep the lids to tell dear Ba |
| 00:56:25 |
Oh, come, come, my pet. |
| 00:56:30 |
Nice of you to come and see me. |
| 00:56:35 |
Good day. |
| 00:56:36 |
Au revoir, darling. |
| 00:56:43 |
Good day. |
| 00:56:56 |
Oh, Mr. Browning. I'm so thrilled to see you. |
| 00:57:00 |
It must be because I've often heard |
| 00:57:04 |
Of course you don't know poor little me. |
| 00:57:06 |
Nevertheless, madam, I thank you. |
| 00:57:16 |
Isn't he wonderful ? |
| 00:57:19 |
The loveliest little shivers are running right down my back. |
| 00:57:22 |
Come, come, my pet. |
| 00:57:27 |
I've been unable to think of anything else. |
| 00:57:29 |
What about Italy ? Have you asked him yet ? |
| 00:57:35 |
I'm not to go to Italy. |
| 00:57:39 |
In spite of the fact that both doctors... |
| 00:57:44 |
But didn't they make it clear to him |
| 00:57:48 |
I believe Dr. Ford-Waterlow spoke very forcibly and... |
| 00:57:52 |
It's rather hard to explain to seomeone |
| 00:57:56 |
Papa is very devoted to me... |
| 00:57:59 |
Very devoted to me. |
| 00:58:02 |
My brothers and sisters, they don't... |
| 00:58:10 |
Miss Barrett, may I speak plainly ? |
| 00:58:15 |
I know more or less how you feel but... |
| 00:58:17 |
I shall say nothing. |
| 00:58:22 |
You tell me he's devoted to you. |
| 00:58:24 |
I don't understand. |
| 00:58:26 |
I don't understand a devotion |
| 00:58:30 |
I don't understand a devotion |
| 00:58:34 |
I don't understand a devotion |
| 00:58:38 |
Doesn't even stop at risking |
| 00:58:42 |
Devotion ! |
| 00:58:44 |
Give me good, sound, |
| 00:58:47 |
Mr. Browning, I must ask you... |
| 00:58:50 |
Even before I met you I knew |
| 00:58:54 |
And all these months I felt |
| 00:58:59 |
But I'm done with pretense from today on. |
| 00:59:01 |
It's not just your comfort and happiness which are at stake now. |
| 00:59:05 |
And I forbid you to play with your life. |
| 00:59:07 |
And I have the right to forbid you. |
| 00:59:11 |
The right. At our first meeting you forbade me to speak of love. |
| 00:59:14 |
But I knew well enough, we both knew, |
| 00:59:18 |
Even before I passed that door I loved you. |
| 00:59:21 |
And I've gone on loving you. |
| 00:59:24 |
And beyond. |
| 00:59:26 |
You know that. |
| 00:59:27 |
You've always known it. |
| 00:59:29 |
Yes. |
| 00:59:32 |
Yes, I've always known it. |
| 00:59:38 |
And now, for pity's sake, |
| 00:59:42 |
If my father had the least suspicion that you were more than a friend, |
| 00:59:49 |
I love you and I shall never leave you. |
| 00:59:55 |
And I love you, Robert. |
| 01:00:04 |
And yet you ask me |
| 01:00:07 |
Yes, Robert. But what have I to give you ? |
| 01:00:10 |
I have so little of all that love asks for. |
| 01:00:13 |
I should have refused to see you again after our first meeting. |
| 01:00:16 |
For I loved you then |
| 01:00:19 |
I love you. |
| 01:00:23 |
Do you know what you've done for me ? |
| 01:00:25 |
I could have laughed when Dr. Chambers said |
| 01:00:30 |
Oh, I wanted to live eagerly, desperately, passionately, |
| 01:00:36 |
You, the sight of your face, |
| 01:00:42 |
Oh, and so much more than that. |
| 01:00:44 |
Because of you the air once more was sweet to breathe. |
| 01:00:49 |
And all the world was good and green again. |
| 01:00:52 |
And with those words singing in my ears, |
| 01:00:56 |
Yes, Robert. For how is it to end ? |
| 01:00:59 |
What have we to look forward to and... |
| 01:01:02 |
And I want you for my wife. |
| 01:01:05 |
Robert, I can't marry you. |
| 01:01:10 |
How can I with... |
| 01:01:14 |
Perhaps not for years ro come. |
| 01:01:17 |
I may never be able to marry you. |
| 01:01:18 |
But what then ? If you remain to the last |
| 01:01:24 |
... in having spent a lifetime fighting |
| 01:01:28 |
No, no, no. |
| 01:01:37 |
Robert, if we were to say goodbye today... |
| 01:01:41 |
... we should have nothing but beautiful memories |
| 01:01:44 |
Is it you who are speaking ? |
| 01:01:48 |
Here's life. |
| 01:01:51 |
And you dare not grasp at it |
| 01:01:55 |
I don't know you, I never thought you were a coward. |
| 01:01:58 |
Yes, Robert, I'm a coward. |
| 01:02:02 |
But it's not myself that am afraid. |
| 01:02:05 |
What's another disaster, great or small, |
| 01:02:09 |
But you're a fighter. You were born for victory and triumph. |
| 01:02:14 |
Oh, what if disaster came to you through me ? |
| 01:02:20 |
I need a comrade in arms to fight beside me. |
| 01:02:25 |
Wounded but not defeated. Undaunted. Unbroken. |
| 01:02:27 |
What finer comrade could a man ask for ? |
| 01:02:31 |
No, no. |
| 01:02:34 |
No. |
| 01:02:39 |
Dear Uncle Edward, don't you think |
| 01:02:43 |
I repeat that I do not care to discuss that subject. |
| 01:02:46 |
Of course, dear Uncle Edward. Of course. |
| 01:02:51 |
Certainly not, child. |
| 01:02:54 |
Sit down. |
| 01:02:57 |
There. |
| 01:02:59 |
There. All gone. |
| 01:03:04 |
Oh, come, come, my pet. |
| 01:03:09 |
I should be a much happier man. |
| 01:03:14 |
You're a very charming little person. |
| 01:03:16 |
Anything wrong in that ? |
| 01:03:19 |
What's that scent you've got on ? |
| 01:03:22 |
Don't you like it ? |
| 01:03:24 |
I abominate scent as a rule, but yours is different. |
| 01:03:26 |
Nice ? |
| 01:03:28 |
Still, I'd prefer you not to use it. |
| 01:03:31 |
Never mind. |
| 01:03:32 |
Oh, uncle, you're a darling. |
| 01:03:38 |
... charming, and fragrant. All within a few minutes. |
| 01:03:51 |
You know who's upstairs, Uncle Edward ? |
| 01:03:56 |
Isn't that thrilling ? |
| 01:04:00 |
Mr. Browning's respect for my daughter's intellect |
| 01:04:04 |
Oh, yes. Such a nice intellectual friendship. |
| 01:04:08 |
My, my, wouldn't it be frightfully interesting |
| 01:04:15 |
Not as interesting as if you could keep silent. |
| 01:04:17 |
Oh, I'm just joking. And besides, I know that in his great big heart |
| 01:04:24 |
In the part of true love and all that. |
| 01:04:27 |
If you could just have seen her face light up |
| 01:06:03 |
Isn't it beautiful ? |
| 01:06:15 |
Oh, is that Mr. Browning over there ? |
| 01:06:18 |
Shouldn't be at all surprised, miss. |
| 01:06:30 |
Miss Barrett, I believe. |
| 01:06:32 |
How do you do ? |
| 01:06:34 |
Wilson ? |
| 01:06:37 |
We were just enjoying the beautiful wisteria |
| 01:06:39 |
But it's much more exquisite over there. |
| 01:06:41 |
I'm afraid, however, you shall have to go on foot. |
| 01:06:43 |
Miss Ba, you mustn't. |
| 01:06:46 |
If you would care to go with me... |
| 01:06:49 |
Wilson, would you wait here ? |
| 01:06:52 |
Miss Ba, what would the master say ? |
| 01:06:54 |
When my father returns to town |
| 01:06:58 |
Shall we ? |
| 01:07:00 |
You'll pardon us, Flush. |
| 01:07:22 |
Oh, it's so beautiful. |
| 01:07:25 |
You can't imagine the difficulty I had |
| 01:07:29 |
And as for the sunlight, well, my dear, you won't believe the trouble I have with the sun. |
| 01:07:34 |
It just won't stay still a minute. |
| 01:07:38 |
So you got the sun to stay there just for me. |
| 01:07:42 |
Wait until after we're married. |
| 01:07:46 |
Let's just have today as a day of nonconsequential subjects. |
| 01:07:49 |
Agreed. |
| 01:07:56 |
Now, in here we have some very rare specimens. |
| 01:08:01 |
The choicest and most exotic beauties in the floral kingdom. |
| 01:08:06 |
For instance, |
| 01:08:07 |
... here we have the Orchidaceae Stictophyllum. |
| 01:08:12 |
How exquisite. |
| 01:08:13 |
Here, by a curious coincidence, we have two chairs. |
| 01:08:24 |
And here, my dear, you have a man who loves you. |
| 01:08:27 |
Also very rare. |
| 01:08:32 |
Has it got any feathers ? |
| 01:08:35 |
A tiger ? |
| 01:08:38 |
A dragon ? |
| 01:08:40 |
Think of something you're more afraid of |
| 01:08:44 |
Hm. Is is a gggg..girl. |
| 01:08:48 |
I know ! It's papa ! |
| 01:09:00 |
Listen, Ba. |
| 01:09:10 |
Do you remember that, Ba ? |
| 01:09:12 |
You wrote the words and I always loved it. |
| 01:09:14 |
Yes, dear. |
| 01:09:23 |
I haven't played it in years. |
| 01:09:25 |
My arm, madame. |
| 01:09:27 |
Make way for the prima donna. |
| 01:09:29 |
I'll turn the pages for you. |
| 01:09:32 |
Henrietta, dear, you should really play this. |
| 01:09:36 |
Oh, I don't think I seem to remember it. |
| 01:09:47 |
Wilt thou have my hand to lie along with thine... |
| 01:09:58 |
... to lie along with thine ? |
| 01:10:05 |
As a little stone in a running stream... |
| 01:10:14 |
... it seems to lie and pine. |
| 01:10:21 |
Now drop the poor pale hand, Dear, |
| 01:10:27 |
... unfit to plight with thine. |
| 01:10:35 |
Wilt thou have my hand to lie along with thine... |
| 01:10:47 |
... to lie alone with thine ? |
| 01:10:59 |
That's lovely, Ba. |
| 01:11:01 |
Look at Henrietta, she's cccrying. |
| 01:11:04 |
I just think it's so lovely seeing Ba sing again. |
| 01:11:08 |
Bless you, dear. |
| 01:11:12 |
I will if you all join me. Will you ? |
| 01:11:14 |
Wilt thou have my hand to lie along with thine... |
| 01:11:23 |
... to lie along with thine ? |
| 01:11:29 |
As a little stone in a running stream... |
| 01:11:37 |
... it seems to lie and pine. |
| 01:11:43 |
Now drop the poor pale hand, Dear, |
| 01:11:50 |
... unfit to plight with thine. |
| 01:11:56 |
Wilt thou have my hand to lie along with thine... |
| 01:12:04 |
... to lie alone with thine ? |
| 01:12:15 |
Good heavens, you'll be a success. |
| 01:12:17 |
Come on, let's have another game. |
| 01:12:29 |
Beg your pardon, Miss Elizabeth. |
| 01:12:35 |
This letter's just come. Special letter just brought. |
| 01:12:40 |
It's from papa. |
| 01:12:42 |
But he was to return tomorrow. |
| 01:12:47 |
Do you think so ? |
| 01:12:51 |
Oh. |
| 01:12:55 |
"This is to let you know that |
| 01:12:58 |
I've taken a furnished house at Bookham in Surrey, |
| 01:13:03 |
You will benefit by the country air |
| 01:13:07 |
Hurry up, aren't you ready yet ? |
| 01:13:10 |
We mustn't let her know. |
| 01:13:13 |
"I have thought for some time now |
| 01:13:18 |
... affect you harmfully both physically and morally..." |
| 01:13:21 |
... my feverishly restless mode of living... |
| 01:13:24 |
... no wonder he doesn't describe me as a recklessly dissipated woman.. |
| 01:13:27 |
"You will inform your brothers and sisters of my decision |
| 01:13:34 |
He doesn't say when. |
| 01:13:37 |
He made my going to Italy impossible |
| 01:13:47 |
I see that he finishes up with the characteristic touch of humor. |
| 01:13:52 |
He signs himself "your loving papa". |
| 01:13:56 |
You see what this means ? |
| 01:13:59 |
Perhaps better than you do. |
| 01:14:02 |
He's growing jealous of my life here. |
| 01:14:07 |
and I'm slowly and surely to be parted from them. |
| 01:14:10 |
Oh, Robert, it will soon be made impossible for me to see you at all. |
| 01:14:15 |
This precious letter of your father's |
| 01:14:21 |
Great deal more ? |
| 01:14:22 |
It means that you will be in Italy before the month is out. |
| 01:14:25 |
Italy ? |
| 01:14:27 |
Robert ! |
| 01:14:29 |
Do you know what you're saying ? |
| 01:14:33 |
We must be married at once. |
| 01:14:37 |
Oh, Robert. It's no use deceiving ourselves. |
| 01:14:41 |
It's not only papa who stands between us. |
| 01:14:45 |
It's I. |
| 01:14:47 |
However stronger |
| 01:14:51 |
Oh, Robert, as your wife, dear, |
| 01:14:59 |
by thoughts of all the glorious things |
| 01:15:02 |
Freedom, adventure... |
| 01:15:06 |
... and passionate love. I... |
| 01:15:08 |
... I could never really satisfy. |
| 01:15:12 |
Oh, Robert. |
| 01:15:13 |
I should be haunted by the ghosts of your unborn children. |
| 01:15:20 |
When I read that letter my world seemed to fall to pieces. |
| 01:15:24 |
But now I thank God that it came while I was still free. |
| 01:15:27 |
I have the strength to shake hands and say goodbye. |
| 01:15:34 |
On the whole I think this will be our best plan of campaign. |
| 01:15:37 |
We'll meet at Marylebone Church on Saturday |
| 01:15:42 |
I'll see about the license at once and interview the vicar. |
| 01:15:45 |
The packet leaves the Royal Pier on Saturdays at midnight. |
| 01:15:48 |
We must catch the 8 o'clock express at Vauxhall. |
| 01:15:51 |
It arrives at Southhampton at 11. |
| 01:15:54 |
Dear. |
| 01:16:04 |
Come along, come along. |
| 01:16:08 |
And I always thought that papa |
| 01:16:14 |
And yet you've known me for quite some time now. |
| 01:16:18 |
I know, darling, but I mustn't give way. |
| 01:16:21 |
I mustn't, I daren't. |
| 01:16:25 |
You can't possibly travel without a maid. |
| 01:16:27 |
Do you think Wilson would be willing to come abroad with us ? |
| 01:16:29 |
Robert... |
| 01:16:32 |
Have you ever thought that |
| 01:16:36 |
Yes. |
| 01:16:39 |
So as I were to die on your hands. |
| 01:16:45 |
Are you afraid, Ba ? |
| 01:16:49 |
You know I'd rather die with you beside me |
| 01:16:54 |
But how would you feel if I were to die like that ? |
| 01:16:58 |
And what would the world say of you ? |
| 01:17:01 |
I should be branded as a little better than a murderer. |
| 01:17:05 |
What I should feel, I leave you to imagine. |
| 01:17:10 |
And yet you ask me to come with you ? |
| 01:17:15 |
I'm prepared to risk your life and much more than mine. |
| 01:17:18 |
Get you out of that dreadful house |
| 01:17:21 |
... for my wife. |
| 01:17:26 |
You love me like that ? |
| 01:17:29 |
I love you like that. |
| 01:17:48 |
Robert. |
| 01:17:50 |
Will you... |
| 01:17:53 |
will you give me a little time ? |
| 01:17:55 |
Time is short, my dear. |
| 01:17:58 |
Your father is expected back... |
| 01:18:01 |
You shall know before then. |
| 01:18:04 |
You promise me that ? |
| 01:18:07 |
I promise. |
| 01:18:25 |
Oh, Miss Ba, I was that worried about you. |
| 01:18:30 |
Rain ? Oh, yes. |
| 01:18:34 |
The sun's shining and lovely now. |
| 01:18:39 |
Oh, is anything wrong, miss ? |
| 01:18:41 |
Wrong ? |
| 01:18:49 |
Ba ! Oh, Ba, you must see him at once, you simply must. |
| 01:18:55 |
He's in full regimentals. He's just been to St James |
| 01:18:58 |
... his adjunctancy or something, from Queen Victoria herself. |
| 01:19:01 |
Oh, he's wonderful, he's gorgeous. |
| 01:19:04 |
I'm talking about Captain Cook, you know. |
| 01:19:07 |
Darling, I'm swooning out now. |
| 01:19:12 |
But some other time will do just as well. |
| 01:19:17 |
Oh, he's just on the landing outside. |
| 01:19:20 |
All right darling, bring him in. |
| 01:19:28 |
Come up, Surtees. |
| 01:19:30 |
Careful or you'll wreck yourself. |
| 01:19:36 |
There. |
| 01:19:37 |
Attention ! |
| 01:19:39 |
March ! |
| 01:19:43 |
Captain Surtees Cook, Ba. |
| 01:19:47 |
Your servant, Miss Barrett. |
| 01:19:51 |
Captain Cook. |
| 01:19:55 |
First by Her Majesty, then by you, Miss Bartett. |
| 01:19:57 |
Really, I don't know what I've done to deserve it. |
| 01:20:01 |
I've never seen the Queen. |
| 01:20:03 |
Very little lady, mam. |
| 01:20:06 |
Surtees, you haven't got your sword on. |
| 01:20:09 |
Oh, bother. I shall get it. I want Ba to see you in full war paint. |
| 01:20:12 |
Well, it's in the hall. |
| 01:20:14 |
No, look here, Miss Barrett doesn't want to... |
| 01:20:18 |
I don't think I've ever seen |
| 01:20:21 |
Indeed ? |
| 01:20:22 |
Won't you sit down. |
| 01:20:30 |
Oh, yes, Wilson, I think you'd better take Flush out. |
| 01:20:32 |
He always gets so excited |
| 01:20:34 |
Oh, yes, of course. |
| 01:20:39 |
Miss Barrett... |
| 01:20:42 |
Miss Barrett... |
| 01:20:45 |
I say, Miss Barrett... |
| 01:20:48 |
You want to tell me something about Henrietta, don't you ? |
| 01:20:53 |
You know, Miss Barrett, you know... |
| 01:20:57 |
And believe me, you have my heartfelt sympathy. |
| 01:21:00 |
Thank you, oh, thank you, it's more than I deserve. |
| 01:21:02 |
Thank you, Miss Barrett. |
| 01:21:07 |
I don't know what I've done to deserve it. |
| 01:21:10 |
Captain Cook... |
| 01:21:15 |
Don't tell me he really managed to get it out. |
| 01:21:19 |
Well, still you know, like most ladies, quick in the uptake. |
| 01:21:23 |
Listen, my dear. Don't ever let anything |
| 01:21:29 |
Remember that. |
| 01:21:30 |
Quite aware I'm not much of a match, Miss Barrett. |
| 01:21:34 |
Surtees, let me buckle on your sword. |
| 01:21:37 |
Oh, I say... |
| 01:21:41 |
I mean to show her that she's mistaken. |
| 01:21:45 |
I have ? |
| 01:21:47 |
Why ? |
| 01:21:55 |
Papa ! |
| 01:22:01 |
You're back sooner than I expected, papa. |
| 01:22:03 |
I don't think I have the privilege of this gentleman's acquaintance. |
| 01:22:06 |
Captain Cook, may I introduce my father. |
| 01:22:12 |
Your servant, sir. |
| 01:22:14 |
Captain Cook is a great friend of George and Octavius. |
| 01:22:19 |
Indeed. |
| 01:22:20 |
My sons are very rarely at home at this hour of the day. |
| 01:22:23 |
The fact is, sir, I was just passing the house and... |
| 01:22:26 |
... I thought I'd look in, you know, |
| 01:22:31 |
I see. |
| 01:22:34 |
And Henrietta thought I should like |
| 01:22:38 |
Indeed. |
| 01:22:40 |
Nothing much to look at, of course, sir, but... |
| 01:22:43 |
ladies like a bit of color and I thought... |
| 01:22:48 |
By Jove, it must be getting late... |
| 01:23:01 |
By Jove, it's high time that I was moving. |
| 01:23:08 |
Goodbye, Miss Barrett. |
| 01:23:13 |
Goodbye, Miss Henrietta. |
| 01:23:23 |
Your servant, sir. |
| 01:23:27 |
I'm seeing Captain Cook to the door. |
| 01:23:37 |
This house is fast becoming a rendez-vous for half London. |
| 01:23:40 |
This was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting Captain Cook. |
| 01:23:43 |
Indeed, but I infer from what I saw as I came into the room ... |
| 01:23:46 |
... that Henrietta's acquaintance |
| 01:23:49 |
I've known Captain Cook for some time now. |
| 01:23:52 |
Oh, since when has it been your custom to buckle on his accoutrement ? |
| 01:23:56 |
I'd never seen him in full uniform before. |
| 01:23:58 |
And I think it improbable that you will see |
| 01:24:02 |
But papa... |
| 01:24:04 |
Captain Cook to be forbidden to visit us |
| 01:24:10 |
You received my letter ? |
| 01:24:13 |
What has just happened |
| 01:24:16 |
Fortunately our new home is so far from town |
| 01:24:20 |
Our new home ? I don't understand. |
| 01:24:23 |
Are we leaving Wimpole Street ? |
| 01:24:25 |
I have taken a house in Bookham in Surrey. |
| 01:24:28 |
I am not in the habit of accounting |
| 01:24:32 |
But one thing I've the right to ask you, papa. |
| 01:24:35 |
Is Captain Cook to be forbidden the house because of what just happened ? |
| 01:24:43 |
I understood you to say Captain Cook was George's friend and Octavius'. |
| 01:24:47 |
Yes, and my friend too. |
| 01:24:50 |
Ah... come here. |
| 01:24:55 |
Yes, papa ? |
| 01:24:56 |
Come here ! |
| 01:25:01 |
What is this man to you ? |
| 01:25:03 |
I told you, he's a friend of ours. |
| 01:25:05 |
What is he to you ? |
| 01:25:07 |
A friend. |
| 01:25:09 |
Yes. |
| 01:25:11 |
You liar ! |
| 01:25:13 |
Papa, let me go. |
| 01:25:15 |
Please, papa, please. |
| 01:25:18 |
No. No. |
| 01:25:20 |
He's... he's... |
| 01:25:21 |
Oh, papa, I love him ! |
| 01:25:25 |
Oh, you... you... you... |
| 01:25:28 |
You... you... ! |
| 01:25:30 |
Let her go ! I won't have it ! |
| 01:25:35 |
You and this filthiness ! |
| 01:25:38 |
I've known that Henrietta loved Captain Cook |
| 01:25:42 |
You dare to tell me ! |
| 01:25:44 |
I would have given her |
| 01:25:47 |
I'll deal with you later. |
| 01:25:50 |
Papa, listen to me, please... |
| 01:25:53 |
I'm not a bad girl, I swear to you I'm not. |
| 01:25:57 |
I know I've deceived you, I'm sorry. |
| 01:26:01 |
He's a good man. It can't be wrong to love him. |
| 01:26:03 |
I want love. I can't live without love. |
| 01:26:06 |
Papa, remember how you loved mama and she loved you |
| 01:26:11 |
Get up ! |
| 01:26:17 |
Sit there ! |
| 01:26:28 |
How long has this been going on ? |
| 01:26:34 |
I've known Captain Cook for over a year. |
| 01:26:38 |
Yes, |
| 01:26:40 |
Yes. |
| 01:26:42 |
We met in the park, and... |
| 01:26:46 |
Yes. |
| 01:26:49 |
Have you been with him in this house alone ? |
| 01:26:51 |
Yes. |
| 01:26:53 |
So clandestine meetings under my own roof |
| 01:27:00 |
How dare you, papa. |
| 01:27:02 |
Now listen to me. |
| 01:27:06 |
... see nor have any communication with this man again, |
| 01:27:09 |
... you will leave my house at once |
| 01:27:13 |
Once outside my doors, |
| 01:27:17 |
But you will never be admitted again as long as I live. |
| 01:27:20 |
I think you know I never go back on my word. |
| 01:27:23 |
You have your choice. Take it. |
| 01:27:27 |
Is it nothing to you |
| 01:27:31 |
Less than nothing. |
| 01:27:32 |
Will you give me your word neither to see |
| 01:27:37 |
I have no choice. |
| 01:27:40 |
Elizabeth, give me your Bible. |
| 01:27:44 |
My Bible belonged to mama. |
| 01:27:50 |
Give me your Bible. |
| 01:27:53 |
You refuse ? |
| 01:27:55 |
Yes. |
| 01:28:05 |
Come here. |
| 01:28:18 |
Place your hand upon the Book. |
| 01:28:22 |
Repeat after me. |
| 01:28:26 |
... that I shall neither see |
| 01:28:30 |
I give you my solemn word that I will neither see... |
| 01:28:34 |
nor have any communication with Captain Cook again. |
| 01:28:42 |
You will now go your room |
| 01:28:53 |
Henrietta. |
| 01:28:56 |
Henrietta. |
| 01:28:58 |
Do you remember what I told you ? |
| 01:29:07 |
Just what did that mean ? |
| 01:29:12 |
I begged her to fight for her happiness. |
| 01:29:14 |
You dare ! |
| 01:29:17 |
For years I've crushed down my doubts. |
| 01:29:23 |
But at last I've been forced to face the truth. |
| 01:29:25 |
You're like a shadow over our lives. |
| 01:29:28 |
I won't stand by and see you wreck her life if I can save it. |
| 01:29:31 |
You may be too strong for me, but at least I'll try. |
| 01:29:34 |
I'll try... |
| 01:29:35 |
You might have had the love of all your children. |
| 01:29:39 |
Fear and hatred. |
| 01:29:40 |
Hatred, I tell you. Hatred and mine too. Hatred. |
| 01:29:49 |
It will be hard for me to forget what you have said. |
| 01:29:52 |
I shall leave you under my extreme displeasure. |
| 01:29:56 |
When you have repented your wickedness |
| 01:30:01 |
... and mine, you may send for me. |
| 01:30:29 |
Come in. |
| 01:30:31 |
Wilson, shut the door, please. |
| 01:30:38 |
Wilson... |
| 01:30:40 |
Are you my friend ? |
| 01:30:42 |
Yes, I'm very much in need of friendship and help at the moment. |
| 01:30:45 |
Oh, I'm that fond of you |
| 01:30:48 |
Good. |
| 01:30:50 |
I'm going to marry Mr. Browning. |
| 01:30:55 |
Does he know ? |
| 01:30:58 |
I should just think not indeed. |
| 01:31:00 |
Oh, Miss Ba. |
| 01:31:02 |
I'm that glad. |
| 01:31:04 |
After we're married we're going to Italy. |
| 01:31:06 |
And Mr. Browning would like to know if you'll come with us. |
| 01:31:08 |
To Italy ? |
| 01:31:10 |
Well, miss, I don't see as how I can help meself. |
| 01:31:12 |
Not that I hold to foreign parts, I don't, but... |
| 01:31:15 |
husband or no husband, |
| 01:31:19 |
Thank you, Wilson. |
| 01:31:23 |
You'll have to take a cab at once. |
| 01:31:25 |
A cab ? |
| 01:31:29 |
Hurry ! |
| 01:31:30 |
... is it to be at once ? |
| 01:31:33 |
Be quick, though. |
| 01:31:37 |
But Miss Ba... |
| 01:31:39 |
If it's not to be for a month... |
| 01:31:43 |
but I made up this courage. |
| 01:31:49 |
Oh, I'm sure he will, miss. |
| 01:32:01 |
Miss Wilson, has anything happened ? |
| 01:32:06 |
What is it ? |
| 01:32:09 |
Oh. |
| 01:32:15 |
Oh, it's all right, sir. |
| 01:32:30 |
Wilson, I... |
| 01:32:35 |
I was afraid that... perhaps... |
| 01:32:43 |
If you don't mind, sir... |
| 01:32:45 |
I think it's splendid. |
| 01:32:51 |
Thank you, Wilson. |
| 01:32:54 |
Wilson, I knew she'd do it. |
| 01:32:56 |
I wasn't really afraid. |
| 01:32:59 |
Wilson, do you realize that you are the bearer |
| 01:33:04 |
You wait here, Wilson. |
| 01:33:07 |
I'm going to tell it to everybody. |
| 01:33:10 |
You wait here and then we'll go back |
| 01:33:13 |
Perhaps we'd better have music, a band or something. |
| 01:33:17 |
The master's come home. |
| 01:33:19 |
Mr. Barrett, sir. He came home. |
| 01:33:43 |
Oh, Miss Ba. |
| 01:33:46 |
Oh, Miss Ba, you can't imagine... |
| 01:33:54 |
What did he say ? |
| 01:33:58 |
There he stood giving me orders. |
| 01:34:02 |
Really, miss, I don't know what your married life is going to be like. |
| 01:34:04 |
Wilson, was he pleased when he read the letter ? |
| 01:34:06 |
He was that pleased, miss. |
| 01:34:10 |
Well, miss... He couldn't say a word at first. |
| 01:34:13 |
He seemd all kind of choked up, like... |
| 01:34:18 |
Wilson, he was happy that I... |
| 01:34:24 |
And then he started running |
| 01:34:27 |
And he says you are to wear |
| 01:34:30 |
Church ? |
| 01:34:31 |
Yes, miss, you're going to be married tonight. |
| 01:34:34 |
But, Wilson. That's absurd. |
| 01:34:36 |
Tonight ? How can we ? |
| 01:34:40 |
He's going to get a vicar and a special license. |
| 01:34:43 |
And as soon as we're finished packing, |
| 01:34:45 |
So I might just as well start packing. |
| 01:34:47 |
But Wilson, how can we ? |
| 01:34:50 |
What dresses are you going to pack, miss ? |
| 01:34:55 |
He says you can. |
| 01:34:57 |
Oh, miss. There's a lot I'd give to be here... |
| 01:34:59 |
... when the master finds out you've gone and got married. |
| 01:35:03 |
Don't Wilson, don't. The very thought terrifies me. |
| 01:35:05 |
Wilson, put back those things and give me time to think. |
| 01:35:08 |
You know it's out of the question. |
| 01:35:13 |
Wilson ! Put back those things. |
| 01:35:20 |
Oh, miss, you did give me a turn. |
| 01:35:23 |
Ba ! |
| 01:35:24 |
What on earth is the matter ? |
| 01:35:28 |
Nothing. It's just... |
| 01:35:30 |
... it's all been so upsetting. |
| 01:35:33 |
Look at Wilson. |
| 01:35:35 |
Wilson, will you come back in a little while ? |
| 01:35:40 |
Is there something you want to say to me, dear ? |
| 01:35:41 |
Yes. |
| 01:35:44 |
Papa threatened to turn me out of the house |
| 01:35:49 |
Well, I'm going to break that Bible oath. |
| 01:35:52 |
Yes, and I shall glory in breaking it. |
| 01:35:56 |
And when we're in the country I shall write to him. |
| 01:35:58 |
And if papa asks me, I'll go out of my way to lie to him. |
| 01:36:01 |
I see. Why do you tell me this ? |
| 01:36:03 |
Because I want you to say |
| 01:36:06 |
... so that I can fling the words back in your face. |
| 01:36:09 |
Oh, Ba. |
| 01:36:12 |
Ba, darling, I didn't mean that. |
| 01:36:15 |
I'm all love and hate. |
| 01:36:18 |
Oh, my dear. You think I don't understand, but I do. |
| 01:36:23 |
I do. |
| 01:36:26 |
And I implore you, dear, never lose hope. |
| 01:36:28 |
Never lose courage. Never. |
| 01:36:32 |
The master. |
| 01:36:34 |
Ba, there is something. |
| 01:36:36 |
You're as white as a sheet. |
| 01:36:39 |
No, no. Don't speak, don't ask me anything. |
| 01:36:42 |
You know nothing, you understand ? Nothing, nothing. |
| 01:36:54 |
What's the matter with that woman ? |
| 01:36:56 |
Wilson ? |
| 01:37:00 |
Nothing, papa. |
| 01:37:01 |
Where have you been ? |
| 01:37:05 |
Where are you going ? |
| 01:37:07 |
Is that the truth ? |
| 01:37:08 |
Remember your oath. |
| 01:37:10 |
Are you going to keep it ? |
| 01:37:14 |
I want to speak to your sister. You may go. |
| 01:37:40 |
Do you know why I've come back ? |
| 01:37:43 |
Because I cannot bear to be estranged from you. |
| 01:37:45 |
You should have come to me to beg |
| 01:37:48 |
But in spite of my sense of right |
| 01:37:53 |
And I despise myself for coming. |
| 01:37:56 |
I despise myself, I hate myself... |
| 01:37:59 |
Oh, papa, can't you see, |
| 01:38:03 |
And that your sense of justice, |
| 01:38:07 |
It's been my heavy cross that those whom I was given to guide and rule |
| 01:38:15 |
And was in duty bound to impose upon them, even you. |
| 01:38:20 |
My mother ? |
| 01:38:22 |
You, my eldest child, were born of love and only love. |
| 01:38:25 |
But the others, long before they came, |
| 01:38:31 |
No, no... |
| 01:38:36 |
Not that she ever opposed me ever once. |
| 01:38:40 |
Oh, dear God, what she must have suffered. |
| 01:38:43 |
Ba, my dear, don't, don't. |
| 01:38:46 |
I shouldn't have spoken about it. |
| 01:38:52 |
Don't look at me like that. You don't understand, how should you ? |
| 01:38:55 |
You know nothing of the brutal tyranny of the senses and how |
| 01:39:00 |
Would you have abetted your sister... |
| 01:39:03 |
You dare speak of it in the same breath ? |
| 01:39:07 |
You ignorant little fool, |
| 01:39:11 |
Love. Desire. |
| 01:39:13 |
It's time a little reality were brought into your dream of life. |
| 01:39:16 |
I won't listen to you. |
| 01:39:19 |
Do you suppose I should have guarded my house |
| 01:39:22 |
... if I hadn't known from my own life |
| 01:39:28 |
With the help of God and through years |
| 01:39:32 |
... and so long as I have breath in my body |
| 01:39:37 |
Do you understand me ? |
| 01:39:40 |
Yes. |
| 01:39:42 |
I understand you. |
| 01:39:44 |
I understand you. |
| 01:39:47 |
Very well. |
| 01:39:52 |
This has been a painful necessity |
| 01:39:57 |
... should smirch the purity I'm utterly |
| 01:40:01 |
You're cold as ice. Why are you trembling ? |
| 01:40:05 |
For the love of heaven, my darling, |
| 01:40:10 |
I cannot play the coward's part |
| 01:40:14 |
I'd rather be hated by the whole world |
| 01:40:17 |
Oh, papa, you don't know how I pity you. |
| 01:40:20 |
Pity ? |
| 01:40:21 |
I don't want your pity. |
| 01:40:24 |
If ever I should lose you or your love... |
| 01:40:26 |
My darling, in our new home |
| 01:40:32 |
Nothing and no one can come between us, |
| 01:40:38 |
You want me to be happy. |
| 01:40:44 |
You must look up to me and depend on me and lean on me. |
| 01:40:47 |
You must share your thoughts with me, |
| 01:40:51 |
I can't bear it, I can't bear any more. |
| 01:41:06 |
Forgive me, my dear, I was carried away. |
| 01:41:13 |
Shall I leave you now ? |
| 01:41:16 |
Shall I see you again tonight ? |
| 01:41:20 |
I shall pray for you. |
| 01:41:22 |
Pray for me tonight ? |
| 01:41:26 |
Yes. |
| 01:41:28 |
Pray for me tonight if you will. |
| 01:41:50 |
Did he find anything out ? |
| 01:41:51 |
Wilson, I'm going. I must. |
| 01:41:56 |
Now, at once. |
| 01:41:59 |
Well, we must go without. |
| 01:42:02 |
We can buy them. |
| 01:42:05 |
I'm frightened. I'm frightened. |
| 01:42:08 |
Fetch your cloak and bonnet. |
| 01:42:10 |
But, Miss Ba, if he did catch us... |
| 01:42:14 |
He could kill me, but he can't stop me. |
| 01:42:18 |
Let's go to the other room. |
| 01:42:21 |
Wilson, I must. That's all I know. I must go. |
| 01:42:25 |
To Robert. |
| 01:42:27 |
Wilson, until today I've never really known my father. |
| 01:42:32 |
I've even hoped I might confide in him, |
| 01:42:36 |
He'd crush me as he crushed my mother. |
| 01:42:38 |
He's cruel, Wilson, cruel and pitiless and I'm afraid. |
| 01:42:42 |
If you want to draw back |
| 01:42:46 |
But I must go to Mr. Browning now. |
| 01:42:49 |
I'll fetch my cloak and bonnet at once, miss. |
| 01:42:53 |
Wilson. |
| 01:43:15 |
They're all down to dinner now, miss. |
| 01:43:19 |
All right, Wilson. |
| 01:43:22 |
Come, Flush. |
| 01:44:08 |
Henrietta ! |
| 01:44:12 |
Take your place and be seated without her. |
| 01:44:18 |
Almighty Father, giver of all good gifts... |
| 01:44:21 |
... who of thy thy divine providence |
| 01:44:26 |
... with all things necessary to their bodily sustenance. |
| 01:44:30 |
Grant, we beseech thee, spiritual grace... |
| 01:44:34 |
... that we may enjoy it in |
| 01:44:38 |
... and render unto Thee |
| 01:44:43 |
Amen. |
| 01:45:01 |
For heaven's sake, what is it ? |
| 01:45:07 |
She's gone. To be married. |
| 01:45:10 |
What do you mean ? |
| 01:45:13 |
Arabel, pull yourself together at once ! |
| 01:45:15 |
Where's Ba ? Answer me, where's Ba ? |
| 01:45:23 |
It's true. |
| 01:45:25 |
It's true. |
| 01:45:28 |
She sends us her love |
| 01:45:31 |
Italy. |
| 01:45:33 |
Look ! |
| 01:45:37 |
Papa. |
| 01:45:40 |
Someone must give him Ba's letter. |
| 01:45:42 |
Let me. I should love to. |
| 01:45:53 |
What is the meaning of this ? |
| 01:46:00 |
Where is Elizabeth ? |
| 01:46:03 |
You hear me. |
| 01:46:07 |
Where is your sister ? |
| 01:46:13 |
She left you this letter. |
| 01:46:16 |
Left me ? |
| 01:46:18 |
What do you mean ? |
| 01:46:20 |
She left a letter for Arabel. |
| 01:46:22 |
And this for you. |
| 01:46:33 |
Oh, papa, you must forgive her. |
| 01:46:36 |
I thought I hated you, but I don't. |
| 01:46:39 |
And if you have any pity for yourself, forgive her. |
| 01:47:03 |
Elizabeth. |
| 01:47:24 |
Yes, yes, her dog. |
| 01:47:33 |
Yes, I'll have her dog. |
| 01:47:39 |
Octavius. |
| 01:47:41 |
Her dog must be destroyed at once. |
| 01:47:45 |
You will take it to the vet tonight. |
| 01:47:50 |
Do you understand me ? |
| 01:47:52 |
Heavens, I don't see what the ppp...poor little beast has done. |
| 01:47:54 |
Do you understand me ? |
| 01:47:57 |
In her letter, Ba writes that she has taken Flush with her. |
| 01:48:13 |
For as much as Robert and Elizabeth |
| 01:48:19 |
... and have witnessed the same before God and this company... |
| 01:48:23 |
... I pronounce that they be man and wife together. |
| 01:48:28 |
In the name of the Father, |
| 01:48:33 |
Amen. |
| 01:48:35 |
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost... |
| 01:48:40 |
Bless, preserve and keep |
| 01:48:46 |
... that in the world to come |
| 01:48:52 |
Amen. |
