1
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,700
Poor Mr. Adamson had no idea
we were having a ball...

2
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,200
at the beginning
of his visit.

3
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:17,900
Your father thought
more of his eagerness...

4
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,900
to see
Mr. Adamson's specimens...

5
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:23,200
than he did of our own
projected entertainment.

6
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,600
Fortunately, he's much
of a height with Edgar...

7
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,400
who was able to help him
with a suit.

8
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:33,600
I should have had
no dress suit in any event.

9
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,200
All my earthly belongings...

10
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,800
have burned or drowned
or both in the shipwreck...

11
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,700
and they never included
a dress suit.

12
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,700
Well, well.
You must be possessed...

13
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,400
of immense resources
of strength and courage.

14
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,100
I'm sure they'll be equal...

15
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,900
to a turn
around the dance floor.

16
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,700
Once learned, a waltz
can never be forgotten.

17
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Are you free to dance?

18
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:37,400
My father
was so sorry to hear...

19
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:40,000
you had lost so much
in the terrible shipwreck...

20
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,100
for your sake
and for his own.

21
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,600
He was eager
to add to his collection.

22
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,500
I did manage to save...

23
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,300
one or two of the rarest,
most beautiful butterflies.

24
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,300
I suppose
there's a certain pathos...

25
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,300
in saving
a dead butterfly...

26
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,100
but one in particular
is such a rarity.

27
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,000
I'll say no more now...

28
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,200
but I believe your father
will be glad to have it...

29
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,800
and you, too.

30
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:08,500
It's to be a surprise, really.

31
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,500
I hate people who tell me
I am to have a surprise...

32
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000
and will not tell me
what it is.

33
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,100
You don't like suspense?

34
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:24,000
No, I don't.
I am afraid of surprises.

35
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,300
I must remember never
to surprise you, then.

36
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:45,400
Stop that! How dare you!
What did you do to her?

37
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:48,100
I'm so sorry.
I have no idea.

38
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,500
Can't imagine
what I might have done.

39
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,900
Something must have happened,
mustn't it?

40
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Too much dancing,
I'll be bound.

41
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,900
Eugenia loves to dance.
She can't get enough of it.

42
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,700
I see.

43
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,800
Please, excuse my roughness.

44
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:20,800
I'm Eugenia's brother,
and thereby her protector.

45
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,200
Of course. It's nothing.

46
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:25,600
Good, good.

47
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:30,600
Well, now. More dancing.

48
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,700
Well?
Let's have some more dancing.

49
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,700
Please excuse
Eugenia's behavior.

50
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,100
She's not feeling herself.

51
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,600
It's of no importance.

52
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,100
I want you to know
that her leaving the ball...

53
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:55,000
was no reflection
on your behavior.

54
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:57,400
I hope she'll feel better soon.

55
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:00,500
Indeed.
Although I'm not sure...

56
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,200
she will ever be
the same again.

57
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,100
She was to be married...

58
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,200
only her fiance Captain Hunt
died quite suddenly.

59
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:10,800
It was a terrible shock.

60
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,300
Poor Eugenia's
only just recovering.

61
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,600
We don't talk about it,
but everybody knows.

62
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:19,700
I'm not tittle-tattling.

63
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,200
I just thought it might be
helpful to know.

64
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:25,700
I see. Thank you very much
for telling me.

65
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,900
You are very fortunate
to have escaped with your life.

66
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,900
We must be glad of that.

67
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,800
But the loss
of your specimens...

68
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:37,800
must have been
a very severe setback.

69
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:42,700
What will you do, Mr. Adamson?

70
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,500
If you do not think it
impertinent to ask.

71
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,700
I've hardly had time
to think.

72
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:53,900
Your own family cannot help.

73
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,900
No. My father's a butcher...

74
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,400
and even if
he had the wherewithal...

75
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:00,100
I could not ask him.

76
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,000
I'd hoped to sell enough...

77
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:04,500
to be able to stay
in England for some time...

78
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,600
write about my travels
and perhaps earn enough money...

79
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,900
to equip myself
to return to the Amazons.

80
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,500
We've barely begun
to pick up twigs...

81
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:14,100
those of us
who've worked there.

82
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,600
There are millions
of unexplored miles...

83
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,800
countless
unknown creatures...

84
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:22,200
and yet I've never felt
more profoundly alone...

85
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,200
than I did there.

86
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,800
You were so very kind
in your letters, sir...

87
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:31,200
the receipt of which was one
of the very few moments...

88
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,700
of luxury in my time
in the forest.

89
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,200
I used to ration the reading
to savor them longer...

90
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,800
as one rations
sugar and flour.

91
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,400
I am glad to have given
such pleasure to anyone.

92
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,300
I've brought you something rare.

93
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,000
Something very rare.

94
00:10:56,100 --> 00:11:00,200
They fly in the broad,
sunny roads in the forest.

95
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,200
They float very slowly...

96
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:05,500
occasionally flapping
their wings like birds...

97
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,500
and they almost never come
down below twenty feet...

98
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,700
so they are almost
impossible to catch.

99
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,700
But I employed
some agile, little lndian boys.

100
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,200
They were able to climb up
and fetch me this pair.

101
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:27,000
Now, I must confess,
I did not know then...

102
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:31,200
how appropriate they were
to add to your collection.

103
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,400
They are Morpho Eugenia,
Sir Harald.

104
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,600
Well!

105
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:51,100
What a lovely creature!

106
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,200
What a beautiful,
glittering blue she is!

107
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,100
No. He.
It's the male who is blue.

108
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400
The female is a tawny brown.

109
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:07,300
What a pity!
I prefer the shimmering blue...

110
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,100
but then, I am female,
so that is natural.

111
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,800
It's hard not to agree
with the Duke of Argyll...

112
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,100
but the extraordinary beauty
of these creatures is...

113
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:31,400
in itself, evidence
of the work of a Creator...

114
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:35,100
who also gave us human
sensitivity to beauty...

115
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:42,500
design, delicate variation,
and brilliant color.

116
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,800
From our spontaneous
response to them, sir...

117
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:50,000
I feel instinctively drawn
to agree with you...

118
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:54,600
but from a scientific
point of view, I must ask...

119
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:57,000
what purpose of natures
might be fulfilled...

120
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:01,000
by all this brilliance
and loveliness?

121
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:04,200
Mr. Darwin inclines
to think that the fact...

122
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,700
it is very preponderantly
male butterflies...

123
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,900
and birds that are
so brilliantly colored...

124
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,900
while the females are often
drab and unobtrusive...

125
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,800
suggests there's
some advantage to the male...

126
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,000
in flaunting
his scarlets and golds...

127
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:21,000
that might help make
the female select him as a mate.

128
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,500
Could it be that
the drabness of the female...

129
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,000
might be protective?

130
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,900
Yes, definitely.
Mr. Wallace--

131
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,700
Don't worry, my dear.

132
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,700
Forgive me, Mama.

133
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:08,600
Did you live entirely
without the company...

134
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:12,800
of civilized peoples
among naked savages?

135
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,600
Not entirely.

136
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,300
I had various friends
of all colors and races...

137
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,900
during my stays
in various communities...

138
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,100
but, yes,
sometimes, I suppose...

139
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,600
I was the only white guest
in tribal villages.

140
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,700
Are they really
naked and painted?

141
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:42,100
Some are partly clothed,
some wholly clothed.

142
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,000
They are greatly given
to decorating their skins...

143
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,600
with vegetable dyes.

144
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:57,100
These floating clumps
of twigs and grasses...

145
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,900
even remind me of
the great floating islands...

146
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,900
of upturned trees,
creepers, and bushes...

147
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,500
that make their way
down the great river.

148
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,100
I used to compare those...

149
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:13,200
to the passage
in "Paradise Lost"...

150
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:16,700
where Paradise is cast loose
after the deluge.

151
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,000
"Then shall this mount
of Paradise...

152
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:21,500
"by might of waves be moved
out of his place...

153
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,400
"pushed by
the horned flood...

154
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:25,800
"with all his verdure
spoiled and trees adrift...

155
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,800
"down the great river
to the opening gulf...

156
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,600
"and there take root
an island salt and bare...

157
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:34,700
"the haunt of seals and orcs
and sea-mews' clang."

158
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,300
Clever Matty.

159
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:43,700
Lady Alabaster would be
pleased if you would...

160
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,800
take tea with her when
you've finished your work.

161
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,300
You seem to have undertaken
quite a labor of love.

162
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,500
What's that?
Looks quite alarming.

163
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,500
It's become detached...

164
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,500
from whatever specimen
it was attached to.

165
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,100
Several parts of specimens
have become detached.

166
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,500
I keep a special box
for the most puzzling.

167
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,800
This foot and leg
obviously belong...

168
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:19,400
to some fairly
large quadrumane.

169
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:25,200
You might suppose they were
those of some human infant.

170
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:31,000
I assure you, they're not.
The bones are too light.

171
00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,400
I must look to you as if
I'm practicing witchcraft.

172
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,800
No. I didn't mean to suggest
such a thing.

173
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:39,500
Of course not.

174
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,700
Indeed, I've noticed you
take a great interest...

175
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,700
in the natural sciences.

176
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Everyone seems to be
taking an interest...

177
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:52,300
in the natural sciences
since your arrival.

178
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:55,400
It's a worthwhile pursuit,
I hope.

179
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,200
My father seems to think so...

180
00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:01,100
which is fortunate for you.

181
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,800
Saved you from the poorhouse,
I'd say.

182
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,600
My origins are humble...

183
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:12,700
but I doubt it would
have come to that.

184
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,500
No, hopefully not.

185
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,100
Indeed, my father's charity
has served you rather well.

186
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,300
Your father's been very kind...

187
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
and I'm pleased to be able
to repay him...

188
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:26,300
by organizing his collection...

189
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,600
according to
scientific principles.

190
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:32,400
How long will the job take?

191
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:37,900
That depends on what I find
in this mountain of boxes.

192
00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:45,400
That could take forever,
I'll wager...

193
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:48,200
since you have
nowhere else to go.

194
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:50,200
I'm so sorry.
I must leave now.

195
00:17:50,300 --> 00:17:53,000
I have to take tea
with Lady Alabaster.

196
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:56,900
While you're taking tea
with my mother...

197
00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,000
and talking about
whatever it is...

198
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:01,500
that you talk to
my father about...

199
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:06,400
just don't get too comfortable.

200
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,900
You're not one of us.

201
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,900
I am aware of that.
Good day.

202
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:36,200
Come in, Matty.

203
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:39,600
Mr. Adamson is here,
Lady Alabaster.

204
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,100
I hope you're comfortable here.

205
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,400
Oh, yes, very much so.

206
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:06,100
My husband is not
overburdening you with work?

207
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:12,200
No. I've a great deal
of spare time.

208
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:14,400
Lady Alabaster expressed
the hope that you might...

209
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:17,400
be able to spare a little time
helping Miss Mead...

210
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:20,000
and myself in
the scientific education...

211
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:22,200
of the younger members
of the family.

212
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:23,900
She feels that
they should profit...

213
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,900
from the presence of
such a distinguished naturalist.

214
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,900
Of course.
I'd be happy to do what I can.

215
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:40,600
Matty has such good ideas.
So ingenious she is.

216
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:42,200
Tell him, Matty.

217
00:19:42,300 --> 00:19:44,800
Lady Alabaster's twins
are still too small...

218
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,700
but I have taken the three
older girls on rambles.

219
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:53,400
I would be delighted to help.

220
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:58,400
We shall truly profit
from your presence amongst us.

221
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,600
Oh, look!

222
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,500
You would not suppose
the queen...

223
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,200
to be of the same species
as her rapid servants.

224
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:46,400
We've attempted to keep
these insects before.

225
00:22:46,500 --> 00:22:48,300
We have a deathly touch,
it appears.

226
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,100
The creatures
simply curl up and die.

227
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,900
You probably had not
captured a queen.

228
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,900
Ants are social beings.
They exist, it appears...

229
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,100
only for the good
of the whole nest.

230
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:06,100
The center of that nest
is the queen ant...

231
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,700
whose laying and feeding
the others tend ceaselessly.

232
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:12,800
I'd like to believe
humankind capable...

233
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:15,500
of such altruistic behavior...

234
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,900
though when I look around me...

235
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:21,300
I think Socialist society
may never be realized.

236
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,000
You think a great deal,
Miss Crompton.

237
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:27,300
For a woman.

238
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:28,700
You were about to say
"for a woman"...

239
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,500
and then refrained,
which was courteous.

240
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,700
It's my great amusement--
thinking.

241
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,100
Wonderful, wasn't it?

242
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:30,700
"1-8-6-0-2-5-3.
Ventner, lsle of Wight."

243
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:36,900
Young Mr. Swinnerton
wishes to marry my daughter.

244
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,200
I have given permission.

245
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:43,400
He said he already knows
what she will say.

246
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:48,400
So you must wish me joy.

247
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400
I do, indeed.

248
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,900
The first fledgling
out of the nest.

249
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,300
The others must soon follow
in the course of things.

250
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,500
I know they must,
but I worry about Eugenia.

251
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:07,100
I confess I feel this news
is not calculated...

252
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,400
to improve her happiness...

253
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:13,100
but perhaps
I underestimate her.

254
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:23,100
Then it is not
Miss Eugenia Alabaster...

255
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:24,500
who's to be married?

256
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,900
Oh, no!

257
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,900
I was about to say,
"Oh, no. Alas!"

258
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,800
It is Rowena who is
to marry Mr. Swinnerton.

259
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,600
She's so beautiful, sir,
so very beautiful...

260
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:45,400
and, well, perfect,
that she cannot be long...

261
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:48,900
without finding
some worthy partner.

262
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,600
So I believe,
but her mother is concerned.

263
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,900
She will not be pleased
if Rowena goes first.

264
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,900
It is not right.

265
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:11,000
Please, I beg you. I cannot.

266
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,700
Please. It's no use.

267
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:53,900
Couldn't help noticing
you were in distress.

268
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:56,400
Can I be of help?

269
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,500
I will do anything
to help if I can.

270
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,300
You're very kind,
but I cannot be helped.

271
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,400
I'm beyond help.

272
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,000
I wish I were dead,
to speak truly.

273
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:15,100
I wish I were dead.

274
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:22,100
I ought to be dead,
as Harry is dead.

275
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,100
I know about your tragedy,
Miss Alabaster.

276
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:28,900
I'm very sorry.
I hope you may be comforted.

277
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:36,300
I don't think you do know,
not at all. No one can.

278
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,100
Well, it must be so.
You've shown great courage.

279
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,700
Please don't be unhappy.

280
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,200
So many people love you,
you cannot be unhappy.

281
00:27:53,400 --> 00:28:00,000
It is you who are
good and kind and brave...

282
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,500
even though
you don't understand.

283
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:05,500
You've been kind to everyone...

284
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,100
even the little girls.

285
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:12,400
We are lucky to have you here.

286
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,500
And I would feel
lucky and honored...

287
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,500
if you would feel you could
let me be your friend.

288
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:21,400
Despite the differences
between us...

289
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:24,000
if you could trust me
a little.

290
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,200
I don't know what
I'm talking about.

291
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,800
Why should you trust me?

292
00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:31,200
I want so much to do
something for you...

293
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,900
anything at all.

294
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:37,100
I own nothing, as you know,
so it's all folly...

295
00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:42,500
but please command me
if I can help in the least way.

296
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,400
Miss Alabaster?

297
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,900
So? What is it?

298
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:26,000
I've something to show you.

299
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,200
You'll have to come
in quickly now.

300
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Am I safe?

301
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,900
With me, quite safe.

302
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,700
They take your dress
for the sky itself.

303
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,500
You don't find them
disagreeable?

304
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:53,800
They are so light, so soft.

305
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,800
It's like colored air.

306
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:03,000
It's almost a cloud.

307
00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:06,500
It is a cloud.

308
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,100
You are a miracle worker.

309
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,000
Well, it's for you.

310
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:19,200
I have nothing real to give.
No pearls, no emeralds.

311
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:21,700
I've nothing...

312
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,000
but I wanted so much
to give you something.

313
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:34,200
They are so terribly fragile.

314
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:38,200
You could hurt them
just by touching.

315
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:46,100
One careless pinch
would be enough.

316
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:50,900
I would never hurt
one of those. Never.

317
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,500
How can I thank you?

318
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800
You've already done so
with your appreciation.

319
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,000
Would you come back again
this evening?

320
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:07,800
Your moths are trying
to perform suttee.

321
00:33:11,100 --> 00:33:13,200
I don't know why
they're so driven...

322
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,000
to make burned offerings
of themselves.

323
00:33:17,700 --> 00:33:20,400
I've wondered if
they navigate by moonlight...

324
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:24,000
and mistake candles for
very bright, heavenly bodies.

325
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,400
Won't you sit down...

326
00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:30,500
and see if the moths
think you are the moon...

327
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,700
as the butterflies took you
for the flowers and sky?

328
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:50,100
What is that?

329
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,200
It's a newly-hatched hawk moth.

330
00:33:53,300 --> 00:33:56,600
A female.

331
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,800
In a little time,
when she's strong...

332
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,600
I'll take away the cage
and release her.

333
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,500
She seems very weak.

334
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,600
Takes a great deal of force
to break out of the pupa.

335
00:34:09,700 --> 00:34:11,900
Insects are all
at their most vulnerable...

336
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,600
at the moment of metamorphosis.

337
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,000
They can easily be
snapped up by any predator.

338
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,600
There are none here, I hope.

339
00:34:19,700 --> 00:34:20,800
Oh, no.

340
00:34:20,900 --> 00:34:23,300
Good.

341
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,100
How lovely it is
in the moonlight!

342
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:34,300
This is what
I promised myself...

343
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,000
for making you
a cloud of butterflies.

344
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,800
Don't answer this...

345
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:45,800
and don't feel that
I speak to alarm you.

346
00:34:45,900 --> 00:34:49,200
I only want to say
that you cannot know...

347
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,300
how much these few moments
can mean to me.

348
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,700
I shall remember them always--

349
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,400
your closeness, your calm.

350
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:00,500
If things were
only different...

351
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,500
I might say quite
different things to you...

352
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:05,700
but I know how the land lies.

353
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:09,200
I've no hopes except perhaps...

354
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:13,000
to be able to speak briefly
and honestly to you...

355
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:15,700
for I do not see
how that could hurt you.

356
00:35:17,900 --> 00:35:22,100
Take them away!
I don't like these!

357
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,200
They're the male hawk moths.

358
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:27,000
They're drawn by the female
in some mysterious way.

359
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:28,100
Please get them away.

360
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,100
They're quite harmless.

361
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,200
Get them away!

362
00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:32,200
There's no reason to fear them.

363
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,400
I'll carry her to the other end
of the conservatory.

364
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:49,200
Now they'll follow her
and leave you.

365
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,900
There is another trapped here.

366
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Quickly! I shall scream!

367
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,600
Please!

368
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,300
It must be the scent.

369
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,300
Oh, that was terrible!

370
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,500
It was like bats, like ghosts.

371
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,700
It was foul!

372
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:12,900
I didn't mean to frighten you.

373
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,300
My dear, I didn't mean to...

374
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,200
It isn't you.

375
00:36:21,300 --> 00:36:23,800
It is everything.

376
00:36:23,900 --> 00:36:27,200
I'm so unhappy.

377
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,500
Is it because of Captain Hunt?

378
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,200
Do you still grieve for him so?

379
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:36,800
He didn't want to marry me.

380
00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:41,200
He died because
he didn't want to marry me.

381
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,200
That must be nonsense.

382
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:50,900
Anyone would want to marry you.

383
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:53,800
It wasn't really an accident.

384
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:56,300
That is only what they say.

385
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:05,000
He did it because
he didn't want to marry me.

386
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,000
Why didn't he?

387
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:11,700
How should I know?
Only it is so.

388
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,800
It is just clear to me
that he didn't--

389
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:17,300
You torture me saying this.

390
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,000
My dearest wish in the world...

391
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:26,300
as you must know...

392
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,500
would be to be able
to ask you to be my wife...

393
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,600
which I can never do...

394
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,200
because I cannot support
a wife or even myself.

395
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,700
I do know that.

396
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,900
But it's unbearably
painful to me...

397
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,300
to hear you
speaking like this...

398
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,500
and not be able myself...

399
00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:54,200
I do not need
to marry a fortune.

400
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,000
I have one of my own.

401
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:01,200
What are you saying?

402
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:06,200
There could be a double wedding.

403
00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:11,000
I should not be married
after Rowena.

404
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,500
Not...

405
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,600
Not if I am
to be married at all.

406
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,800
Shall I speak to your father?
Tomorrow?

407
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:44,200
Arms up, please, Alice.

408
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:47,800
Seven. Five.

409
00:39:29,300 --> 00:39:32,900
So with all the wagers on,
I drove the gigs...

410
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,600
through narrow gaps
in seven hedges...

411
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,300
and only one wheel
fell off...

412
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,600
and that was right
at the very end.

413
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:43,600
The horse wanted to go on...

414
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:45,300
but with all the fences
behind us...

415
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,500
there was no further point.

416
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:55,200
You, sir, must not have
the nerve or the strength...

417
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:56,600
to do such a thing.

418
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,800
You sit there,
and you smile fatuously...

419
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:03,700
but you could not bring
such a thing off.

420
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,600
No doubt I could not.

421
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,800
I don't like your attitude, sir.

422
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:11,100
I have never liked it.

423
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,800
I believe you sneer
in your heart.

424
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:17,900
I do not mean to sneer.

425
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,900
Since we are to be brothers...

426
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,600
I hope I would not give
such an appearance.

427
00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:23,100
It would be most wrong.

428
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,400
Brothers, you say.
I don't like that.

429
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:29,700
You are underbred, sir...

430
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,700
and you are no good match
for my sister.

431
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,100
There is bad blood in you,
vulgar blood.

432
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:40,300
I do not accept
either bad or vulgar.

433
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,200
I am aware
that I'm no good match...

434
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:46,000
and that I have few prospects
and no future.

435
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:47,700
Your father and Eugenia
have done me...

436
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,800
the great kindness
of overlooking that...

437
00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:53,200
and I hope you may come
to accept their decision.

438
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:55,600
You should rather
wish to fight me.

439
00:40:55,700 --> 00:40:58,800
I insulted you.

440
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,000
You are a miserable creature...

441
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,000
without breeding or courage.

442
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,800
You should stand up, sir,
and face me.

443
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,600
I think not.

444
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:14,300
As for breeding,
I count my father...

445
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:16,500
as a kind man,
an honest man...

446
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:18,900
and I know no other
good reason for respect.

447
00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:21,500
As for courage,
I think I may claim...

448
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,800
that to have lived for
ten years on the Amazons...

449
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,500
to have survived
murder plots...

450
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:27,100
poisonous snakes,
shipwreck...

451
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,100
fifteen days on a lifeboat
in the mid-Atlantic...

452
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,100
may reasonably compare
with driving a poor horse...

453
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,100
into a house
through a window.

454
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,900
I think I know
what true courage is.

455
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
It does not consist
in fisticuffs...

456
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:41,900
as a response to an insult.

457
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,800
Well said, William Adamson.

458
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:46,100
Well-said,
my fellow bridegroom.

459
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,600
You shall not have her,
do you hear?

460
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,900
She is not for such as you.

461
00:41:50,900 --> 00:41:52,500
Please do not breathe
in my face.

462
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,700
You resemble nothing more
than an angry dragon.

463
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:57,200
Stand up!

464
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,100
You shall not provoke me
into disgracing...

465
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:02,100
a house and a family
I hope to belong to.

466
00:42:02,100 --> 00:42:03,200
Stand up!

467
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:05,800
In the Amazons, young men
who make themselves...

468
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,600
stupid with spirits
behave as you do.

469
00:42:07,700 --> 00:42:09,900
They often end by killing
each other inadvertently.

470
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,800
I should not care
if you were killed.

471
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:14,700
Eugenia might care
very deeply if I were.

472
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,500
She's already lost one hus--

473
00:42:29,500 --> 00:42:36,900
I beg you not to
make too much of Edgar.

474
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:43,600
He is wild in his cups,
and he is quiet after.

475
00:42:43,700 --> 00:42:48,300
He often does not remember
what has passed.

476
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,500
It was the drink insulted you.

477
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:56,400
I'm happy to accept
such an explanation.

478
00:42:56,500 --> 00:43:01,800
Good man, fellow bridegroom.
Civilized man.

479
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,000
We are not armed warriors now,
are we?

480
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:10,800
Civilized men who stay seated
as we should, we are.

481
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,800
I admire you, William.

482
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:21,600
Edgar is an anachronism.

483
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:26,200
You didn't think I knew
that word, I'll be bound.

484
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:28,200
On the contrary.

485
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:31,400
Thank you for your kindness.

486
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,400
We are both men
of the outdoors.

487
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:55,700
We have that in common,
do we not?

488
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:00,700
We do.
And I hope that, in time...

489
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,700
we may come to find
other common interests.

490
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,300
Indeed. I'm sure we will.

491
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:15,100
Good night, Edgar.

492
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:18,400
Good night, William.

493
00:45:49,900 --> 00:45:52,900
A present
from Miss Eugenia, sir.

494
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:48,600
Well...

495
00:46:51,500 --> 00:46:55,100
here I am, you see.

496
00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:00,000
Here we are.

497
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,900
I cannot believe
my own happiness.

498
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Well, you will catch cold...

499
00:47:08,700 --> 00:47:12,200
if you cannot believe it
enough to come in.

500
00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:46,500
I've loved you...

501
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,500
from the first moment
that I saw you.

502
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:23,000
I don't want to hurt you.

503
00:49:19,500 --> 00:49:21,600
You're honey.

504
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:25,800
Sweet as honey.

505
00:49:36,300 --> 00:49:39,000
We're going to be
so happy together.

506
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:25,500
Good morning.
Hope I don't disturb you.

507
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,200
By no means.
I'm conducting experiments...

508
00:51:28,300 --> 00:51:29,400
on these
fascinating creatures.

509
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:31,200
You'll no doubt find
my research is crude.

510
00:51:31,300 --> 00:51:36,200
On the contrary.
What is it that you're studying?

511
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:39,700
I've been placing
various foods...

512
00:51:39,700 --> 00:51:41,800
upon the surface
of the earth in the tank...

513
00:51:41,900 --> 00:51:43,300
and counting
the number of ants...

514
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,200
who hurry to avail
themselves of the food...

515
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,600
and how they dispose of it.

516
00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:52,200
Come and look.

517
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:58,800
They're greatly attracted to
fragments of grape and melon.

518
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,200
It's taken half an hour
almost exactly...

519
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,100
for this scrap
of sweet fruit...

520
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,300
to become no more
than a living pincushion.

521
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,700
You cannot but admire
the spirit of cooperation.

522
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,300
I do hope my formica prima
hasn't drowned in juice.

523
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,900
She hasn't stirred
for quite ten minutes.

524
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,300
You're at the point of
recognizing individual ants.

525
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,800
May I see your book?

526
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:55,200
You put me to shame,
Miss Crompton.

527
00:52:55,300 --> 00:52:59,800
I've been secretly
worrying about...

528
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,900
the cutting short of
my hoped-for researches...

529
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,600
into the insect life
in the Amazon basin.

530
00:53:05,700 --> 00:53:09,300
My present good fortune,
and here you are...

531
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,400
doing what
I should be doing--

532
00:53:12,500 --> 00:53:16,000
observing the unknown world
which is to hand.

533
00:53:16,100 --> 00:53:18,100
My sphere is naturally
more limited.

534
00:53:18,100 --> 00:53:22,600
I naturally look closer to hand.

535
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,300
Good night, sir.

536
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,400
Good night, Arthur.

537
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,800
I believe we can expect
a happy event.

538
00:54:40,900 --> 00:54:43,900
I believe I am with child.

539
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:52,700
Congratulations, my dear.
That's wonderful news.

540
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,600
You look quite different--
a new creature.

541
00:54:57,700 --> 00:55:02,700
You look
wonderfully mysterious.

542
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:08,800
I am a little peaked.
I do not quite feel myself.

543
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,700
I am somewhat nauseous,
no doubt quite naturally.

544
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:27,800
Poor Eugenia, it's so hot.

545
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:32,600
I must confess,
I am quite uncomfortable.

546
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:35,600
I shall be
until the baby arrives.

547
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:58,400
I don't like these ants!
Please! Have them go away!

548
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:04,900
I think the formica fusca
have chosen today...

549
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,900
for their
annual nuptial dance.

550
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,200
Like cygnets.

551
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:59,500
You're like swan's down,
and they're like cygnets.

552
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:02,700
They do not seem
to resemble me at all.

553
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,900
They will, you know.

554
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,200
I've seen
ever so many babies...

555
00:57:09,300 --> 00:57:12,000
and they change
from week to week...

556
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:14,500
even from day to day.

557
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:19,500
Resemblances run across
their faces like clouds.

558
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:23,300
Papa today,
Grandpapa tomorrow...

559
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,800
Aunt Ponsonby on Tuesday...

560
00:57:25,900 --> 00:57:29,500
and Great-Grandmama
at Friday dinnertime.

561
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,200
It's because
they're so soft, the dears...

562
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,800
so plastic.

563
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:42,900
You'll suddenly see
your own chin on Agnes.

564
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,400
And one or other
of your grandmothers...

565
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,300
smiling out of Dora's eyes.

566
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,700
I'm sure you're right.

567
00:59:36,500 --> 00:59:38,300
What are you doing?

568
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,000
When I come down...

569
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,000
the scullery's a-run
with creatures, sir.

570
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:45,300
I have to set traps
at night.

571
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,200
You put molasses in
one of the empty tins...

572
00:59:47,300 --> 00:59:49,000
and they fall in
and can't right themselves.

573
00:59:49,100 --> 00:59:50,500
Then I have to
take them out...

574
00:59:50,500 --> 00:59:51,800
and pour boiling
water on them.

575
00:59:51,900 --> 00:59:53,900
You'd be amazed
how quick they come back

576
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
no matter how many of them
you boil to death.

577
00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:58,100
I hate the smell.

578
01:00:02,300 --> 01:00:04,200
I beg your pardon.

579
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:25,700
And an eight.

580
01:01:25,700 --> 01:01:27,700
A little cherub--

581
01:01:27,700 --> 01:01:30,200
That's exactly what you are.

582
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,200
A beautiful baby.

583
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,700
Yes, you are.

584
01:01:33,700 --> 01:01:36,700
My turn?

585
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,500
Thank you, nurse.

586
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,200
A six.

587
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:49,200
Can't we keep them down
a little longer?

588
01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:51,800
I should so like to hold them
a little longer.

589
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:54,700
Rowena, dear,
there is tomorrow, too.

590
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,300
Nurse has to feed and
ready them for bed now.

591
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,700
I so rarely hold a baby.

592
01:02:08,500 --> 01:02:10,500
My dear Rowena.

593
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,600
Your turn, Rowena.

594
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:15,300
Rowena?

595
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,100
Eugenia, please.
Let me go to her.

596
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,300
I think it would be better.

597
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,400
You and William
are so blessed--

598
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,100
two beautiful children
and another expected.

599
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,600
It is very hard for Rowena.

600
01:02:34,700 --> 01:02:38,100
You are... so blessed.

601
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,300
It was incredible.

602
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,300
The people in the train
were waving and cheering...

603
01:02:51,300 --> 01:02:52,700
as we overtook them.

604
01:02:52,700 --> 01:02:54,600
We went on for three miles.

605
01:02:54,700 --> 01:02:58,200
Were it not for the river,
we could have gone longer.

606
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,600
There's no future
in those locomotives.

607
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:03,600
Give me a purebred
Arab stallion any day.

608
01:03:03,700 --> 01:03:04,800
No question about it.

609
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,300
For speed and strength,
the Arab is unmatched.

610
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:12,100
There is no substitute
for pure blood, Robin.

611
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:13,600
Keep the breeds separate...

612
01:03:13,700 --> 01:03:15,300
and you can't go far wrong.

613
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,100
That is the cardinal rule.

614
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,300
God made creatures distinct.

615
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,100
It is our job
to keep them that way.

616
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,100
Am I not right?

617
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:29,200
Well, a breed,
like a dialect of language...

618
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,400
can hardly be said
to have a distinct origin.

619
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:33,600
Indeed, the evidence
is that all horses...

620
01:03:33,700 --> 01:03:36,000
have descended
from the same animal.

621
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,200
If you look--

622
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,500
Don't be absurd.

623
01:03:40,500 --> 01:03:44,300
A dray horse has nothing
in common with an Arab.

624
01:03:44,300 --> 01:03:46,500
There is no blood shared there.

625
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,600
They're different,
quite different...

626
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:51,100
and if you knew horses,
you'd see that.

627
01:03:55,700 --> 01:03:57,700
It is hard to believe, I agree.

628
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,900
However, you do not need
to take my word for it.

629
01:03:59,900 --> 01:04:01,800
There's ample eviden--

630
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,100
Mr. Darwin makes
his argument very clear...

631
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,200
in the "Origin of Species,"
which you would know...

632
01:04:08,300 --> 01:04:10,100
if you ever took any interest...

633
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,100
in the important ideas
of our time.

634
01:04:13,100 --> 01:04:16,800
Indeed,
we need look no further...

635
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,600
than our own flock
of small, black sheep...

636
01:04:19,700 --> 01:04:22,000
to see that careful breeding...

637
01:04:22,100 --> 01:04:24,600
with our own flock
and that of our neighbors...

638
01:04:24,700 --> 01:04:27,400
has produced
an entirely new breed.

639
01:04:27,500 --> 01:04:29,300
Father.

640
01:04:30,700 --> 01:04:35,400
Think, Edgar, before you speak.

641
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,800
The boy's name must be Edgar.

642
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:13,600
Why?

643
01:05:13,700 --> 01:05:15,100
Why?

644
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:19,700
There is an Edgar in
every generation of Alabasters.

645
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:21,100
My son is not an Alabaster.

646
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,100
My son is an Adamson...

647
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,200
and I wish to give my child
a name from my own family...

648
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:29,000
however undistinguished.

649
01:05:29,100 --> 01:05:31,100
I do not see why.

650
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,700
We do not see
your family or speak...

651
01:05:33,700 --> 01:05:36,200
or seem likely to do so.

652
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,200
Your family
does not come here...

653
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,900
and Edgar will not
know them, I suppose.

654
01:05:41,900 --> 01:05:43,600
We are your family...

655
01:05:43,700 --> 01:05:46,800
and I think you must own
we have been good to you.

656
01:05:46,900 --> 01:05:50,200
More than good, my dear.
More than good.

657
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,100
Only l...

658
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,500
Only?

659
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,200
Well, I wish to have
something of my own...

660
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:01,500
and my son is my own,
in some sense.

661
01:06:03,300 --> 01:06:08,300
We could call him...
William Edgar.

662
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:13,200
Not my name.
My father's--Robert.

663
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,200
Robert's a good English name.

664
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:19,900
Robert Edgar.

665
01:06:34,700 --> 01:06:36,200
Abraham?

666
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:39,200
Methuselah?

667
01:06:39,300 --> 01:06:41,900
I am what I am.

668
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,600
Moses?

669
01:06:43,700 --> 01:06:46,300
I am!

670
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,200
Am. Am.

671
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:58,700
Lesson?

672
01:07:01,500 --> 01:07:02,700
Apple?

673
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:07,800
Bee?

674
01:07:10,700 --> 01:07:12,100
What's that?

675
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,100
A crocodile.

676
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,000
Nope, nope.
Alphabet lesson.

677
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:19,600
"A."

678
01:07:19,700 --> 01:07:21,600
You're so clever.

679
01:07:26,700 --> 01:07:28,100
Belt?

680
01:07:30,700 --> 01:07:31,800
Girdle?

681
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,600
Zone.

682
01:07:36,700 --> 01:07:38,500
Oh, well done, Miss Mead.

683
01:07:53,100 --> 01:07:56,000
Am-a-zon.

684
01:07:56,100 --> 01:07:57,400
Come on.

685
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:02,800
Lovely!

686
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,000
It's very strange.

687
01:08:08,500 --> 01:08:09,700
When I was in the Amazons...

688
01:08:09,700 --> 01:08:12,700
I used to wake daily
from a dream...

689
01:08:12,700 --> 01:08:14,400
of mild English sunshine...

690
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,200
simple and wonderful things...

691
01:08:16,300 --> 01:08:19,700
such as bread and butter,
instead of endless cassava.

692
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,200
Now, I wake...

693
01:08:24,300 --> 01:08:27,200
from dreams
of the forest curtain...

694
01:08:27,300 --> 01:08:29,700
the movement of the river...

695
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,400
and my work.

696
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:36,500
You work, I believe,
with Sir Harald on his book.

697
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,600
I do,
but I'm not really needed...

698
01:08:39,700 --> 01:08:42,000
and my views...

699
01:08:43,700 --> 01:08:47,800
In short, my views
do not wholly agree with his.

700
01:08:47,900 --> 01:08:50,500
Perhaps you should
write your own book.

701
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,100
No, no, no.

702
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,600
I've no settled opinions
to advance...

703
01:08:54,700 --> 01:08:56,600
and no wish to convert anyone...

704
01:08:56,700 --> 01:08:59,700
to my own rather uncertain
views on things.

705
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,800
I did not mean opinions.

706
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:05,900
I meant a book of facts...

707
01:09:05,900 --> 01:09:07,800
a book of scientific facts...

708
01:09:07,900 --> 01:09:11,100
such as you are
uniquely qualified to write.

709
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:15,600
I have thought about writing
a book about my travels.

710
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,100
Such books are
very successful, I know...

711
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:22,500
but all my detailed notes,
all my specimens...

712
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,600
all lost in the shipwreck.

713
01:09:24,700 --> 01:09:28,100
I've not the heart to invent,
even if I could.

714
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,200
But nearer to hand
lie things...

715
01:09:30,300 --> 01:09:32,300
you could observe
and write about.

716
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:33,800
Yes, yes.

717
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:37,100
You've said this before.

718
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,500
I'm certain you're right.

719
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,300
I'm very grateful to you...

720
01:09:40,300 --> 01:09:42,100
but a detailed
scientific study...

721
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,000
would take many years,
much rigor...

722
01:09:44,100 --> 01:09:46,100
and I'd hoped to...

723
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:47,700
You'd hoped?

724
01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:55,100
I had hoped to set out again
on a foreign journey...

725
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:59,200
to collect more information
about the untraveled world.

726
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,700
I wish to do that.

727
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:07,000
Sir Harald has suggested
that he might be sympathetic.

728
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,100
The book I should like
to see you write...

729
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,900
is not
a major scientific study...

730
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,400
not the work of a lifetime...

731
01:10:14,500 --> 01:10:17,100
it's a book
I think may prove useful...

732
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,600
and I daresay,
profitable to you...

733
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:21,200
in the quite near future.

734
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,400
I think if you were
to write...

735
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,000
a natural history of
the ant colonies over a year...

736
01:10:26,100 --> 01:10:28,100
you'd have something
very interesting...

737
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:32,700
to a very general public
and yet of scientific value.

738
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,600
It might be interesting.

739
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:39,800
It might be fun.

740
01:10:39,900 --> 01:10:41,000
Fun.

741
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:43,100
The children could be
usefully employed...

742
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:44,500
and I myself
would be proud to assist.

743
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,100
Miss Mead
would do what she could.

744
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:49,200
I see the children
as characters in the drama.

745
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:53,600
There has to be a drama
for it to appeal to the public.

746
01:10:53,700 --> 01:10:55,300
Why don't you
write it yourself?

747
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,300
It's your idea.
You should get credit.

748
01:10:57,300 --> 01:10:59,600
No, I've not
the requisite knowledge...

749
01:10:59,700 --> 01:11:01,100
nor the time...

750
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,700
though I don't know
where my days go.

751
01:11:03,700 --> 01:11:07,600
I don't see myself as a writer
but as an assistant.

752
01:11:07,700 --> 01:11:10,200
If you would accept me,
I would be honored.

753
01:11:10,300 --> 01:11:11,800
I can draw. I can write.

754
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,100
I can copy, if necessary.

755
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,100
I...

756
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,600
I'm extraordinarily
grateful to you, Miss Crompton.

757
01:11:20,700 --> 01:11:23,500
I do believe you've
transfigured my prospects.

758
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:27,100
Hardly,
but it may be the answer...

759
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,200
with good will and hard work.

760
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,800
What name shall we
give to the home...

761
01:11:40,900 --> 01:11:42,900
of the blood-red slavemakers?

762
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,100
It is a horrible trade.

763
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:47,700
Never have I wept so
over a book...

764
01:11:47,700 --> 01:11:50,200
as I wept over
"Uncle Tom's Cabin."

765
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,200
I pray nightly for the cause
of President Lincoln.

766
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,700
We could call the nest
Bredely Hall.

767
01:11:55,700 --> 01:11:57,200
We have lots of servants.

768
01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:59,200
That wouldn't be
appropriate, Margaret.

769
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,200
Well, I propose Red Fort.

770
01:12:02,300 --> 01:12:04,000
That sounds war-like enough...

771
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,800
and brings in the color
of the sanguinea.

772
01:12:06,900 --> 01:12:09,000
- That's appropriate.
- Yes.

773
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:12,600
In the spring of 1862...

774
01:12:12,700 --> 01:12:15,300
we began
the organized ant watch.

775
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,000
The colony was busily preparing
for the breeding season.

776
01:12:21,700 --> 01:12:24,300
As the red ants
set about their tasks...

777
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,100
we set about ours...

778
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,100
observing and recording
the colony at work.

779
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,100
On our first sentry duty...

780
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,100
Edith noticed worker ants
cleaning their nest...

781
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:39,100
much as human beings
spring-clean their houses.

782
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,800
Margaret, Elaine,
and Miss Crompton...

783
01:12:41,900 --> 01:12:45,100
carefully mapped out the city
and its satellite suburbs.

784
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,800
There were numerous
entrances and exits...

785
01:12:48,900 --> 01:12:51,700
with well-worn paths winding
across the forest floor.

786
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,700
The girls illustrated the scene
with a column of worker ants...

787
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,200
setting forth
on a foraging expedition.

788
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,200
Miss Crompton's
evening watches had revealed...

789
01:13:03,300 --> 01:13:06,600
that the city was never
defenseless against outsiders.

790
01:13:06,700 --> 01:13:09,600
Nighttime guards
were posted behind gates...

791
01:13:09,700 --> 01:13:12,200
barricaded
with twigs and leaves.

792
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:16,000
Not all outsiders
were unwelcome.

793
01:13:16,100 --> 01:13:17,900
With much
patient observation...

794
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,100
and the help
of Miss Mead's umbrella...

795
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,200
we uncovered a thriving
population of nitidulidae.

796
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,100
These small beetles...

797
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:27,100
Iive peacefully
on the fringes of the city...

798
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,400
scavenging after
the ants' leftovers.

799
01:13:30,500 --> 01:13:33,200
As the weeks passed,
we came to understand...

800
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,200
the ants' activities
in Red Fort...

801
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:37,700
as well as any man
would know...

802
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,300
the comings and goings
of his own house...

803
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:41,900
if not better.

804
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:48,700
Oh, there you are.

805
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,200
I've recruited Amy
to keep an eye on the nest...

806
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:53,700
of the fusca ants
on her afternoons off.

807
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:55,300
I'm certain
your assistance...

808
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,200
will prove to be
extremely useful, Amy.

809
01:13:58,300 --> 01:13:59,700
Thank you, sir.

810
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,200
Go and join Tom now.

811
01:14:01,300 --> 01:14:02,500
Miss Mead and the girls...

812
01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,200
will be here to relieve
you both later.

813
01:14:06,700 --> 01:14:09,600
It will do her good
to get a bit of fresh air...

814
01:14:09,700 --> 01:14:11,700
having no family
and nowhere to go...

815
01:14:11,700 --> 01:14:13,700
and earn
a few extra pennies.

816
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:16,600
What would you say...

817
01:14:16,700 --> 01:14:19,600
to a few cartoon-like
illustrations to your text?

818
01:14:19,700 --> 01:14:22,700
Here I've drawn one
with a stiletto...

819
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,900
and here a string helmet
and heavy wrench.

820
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,000
I should think
it might add greatly...

821
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:30,200
to the human interest.

822
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:02,200
Good-bye.

823
01:15:02,300 --> 01:15:03,700
Enjoy the hunt.

824
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,000
We will.

825
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,900
William? Is that you?

826
01:15:29,300 --> 01:15:31,700
It is you.

827
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,700
I could tell by your step.

828
01:15:36,300 --> 01:15:38,200
Are you tired, dear?

829
01:15:39,900 --> 01:15:41,200
Somewhat.

830
01:15:43,700 --> 01:15:48,200
I am stiff
from a day in the saddle...

831
01:15:48,300 --> 01:15:50,200
but, my dear...

832
01:15:50,300 --> 01:15:53,000
it was wonderful to be out
with the hunt again...

833
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:54,900
after my confinement.

834
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,100
I do love it so.

835
01:16:02,300 --> 01:16:04,400
You look beautiful, my dear.

836
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:07,700
Really?

837
01:16:09,700 --> 01:16:12,200
As beautiful as ever?

838
01:16:13,700 --> 01:16:15,500
More beautiful than ever.

839
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,100
The world has changed
so much, William...

840
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,700
in my lifetime.

841
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,600
I am old enough
to have believed...

842
01:17:15,700 --> 01:17:18,100
in the first parents
in Paradise...

843
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:19,600
as a little boy...

844
01:17:19,700 --> 01:17:23,100
to have believed in Satan
hidden in the serpent...

845
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,600
and the Archangel
with his flaming sword...

846
01:17:25,700 --> 01:17:28,100
closing the gate.

847
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:32,600
And now I am supposed
to believe in a world...

848
01:17:32,700 --> 01:17:35,600
in which
we are what we are...

849
01:17:35,700 --> 01:17:38,100
because of the mutations...

850
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:43,000
of soft jelly
and calcius bone...

851
01:17:43,100 --> 01:17:49,500
which goes on and on through
unimaginable millennia.

852
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,600
A world in which
angels and devils...

853
01:17:52,700 --> 01:17:55,200
do not do battle in Heaven
for vice and virtue...

854
01:17:55,300 --> 01:17:57,700
but in which
we eat and are eaten...

855
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,800
and are absorbed
into other flesh and blood.

856
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,600
I shall molder
like a mushroom...

857
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,700
when my time comes...

858
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,700
and it will always be soon.

859
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:14,700
I shall end my life
like a skeleton leaf...

860
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,700
about to be humus...

861
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,200
a mouse clutched by an owl...

862
01:18:21,300 --> 01:18:24,200
a bull calf
going to the slaughter...

863
01:18:24,300 --> 01:18:28,200
through a gate
which leads only to one way--

864
01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:33,500
to blood and dust
and destruction.

865
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:38,600
And then I think
no brute beast...

866
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,100
would think such things.

867
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,100
No frog, no hound, even...

868
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:49,600
would have such a vision
of the Angel of Annunciation.

869
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:55,800
Where does it all come from?

870
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,100
Come quick! Do come!

871
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:01,600
What's the matter, Amy?

872
01:19:01,700 --> 01:19:05,400
Tom says the bloody ants
are coming up in a great army.

873
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,000
He says,
"Come quick. Something's up."

874
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:11,100
I saw them myself.
They're like gravy boiling.

875
01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:12,400
Do come.

876
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:24,600
The great slaving raid
took place on a hot afternoon...

877
01:19:24,700 --> 01:19:28,600
after several days of frantic
activity within Red Fort.

878
01:19:28,700 --> 01:19:30,600
We arrived at the nest...

879
01:19:30,700 --> 01:19:33,400
to see gossiping and seething
crowds of red ants...

880
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,600
massing for
a clearly important event.

881
01:19:35,700 --> 01:19:37,500
We knew not what.

882
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,700
And then, at some sign...

883
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,200
the ants swarmed out
of the city from every exit.

884
01:19:45,700 --> 01:19:48,800
Was it a little Napoleon
who led the call to arms...

885
01:19:48,900 --> 01:19:50,300
or had the heat
of the sun alone...

886
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,000
signaled the ants
to act in unison?

887
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:58,200
We followed as the army set out
across the forest floor.

888
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,900
The rough terrain
of twigs and leaves...

889
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:04,800
separated
the well-organized ranks...

890
01:20:04,900 --> 01:20:07,500
into seemingly
raggle-taggle brigades.

891
01:20:11,700 --> 01:20:14,200
Fifteen yards
from their own citadel...

892
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,700
the red ants stopped,
regrouped...

893
01:20:16,700 --> 01:20:18,200
and then descended...

894
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,600
upon an unsuspecting nest
of black ants...

895
01:20:21,700 --> 01:20:23,500
the formica fusca.

896
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,600
The black ants
sallied forth bravely...

897
01:20:27,700 --> 01:20:29,700
to beat off
the thieves and kidnappers...

898
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,300
waving their antennae.

899
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:32,600
Hurrying furiously...

900
01:20:32,700 --> 01:20:34,800
they bit at the legs
and heads and feelers...

901
01:20:34,900 --> 01:20:36,500
of the busy bloody ants.

902
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,800
They attempted,
sometimes with success...

903
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:41,800
to grasp the red invaders
and bite them to death.

904
01:20:41,900 --> 01:20:44,500
The red ants
had one purpose only--

905
01:20:44,500 --> 01:20:47,500
to snatch the unhatched
black ants from the nest...

906
01:20:47,500 --> 01:20:51,400
and carry them in
their fine jaws to Red Fort.

907
01:20:51,500 --> 01:20:53,500
From that moment on...

908
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:57,200
the fate of the captured
black ant nestlings was sealed.

909
01:20:57,300 --> 01:20:59,700
They would live and die
as red ants...

910
01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:01,400
not as true black ants.

911
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:04,800
They would feed and nourish
little blood-red ants...

912
01:21:04,900 --> 01:21:06,800
and, in time,
respond to the sun...

913
01:21:06,900 --> 01:21:10,800
by massing to attack
their forgotten families.

914
01:21:10,900 --> 01:21:14,300
It is as if environment
were everything...

915
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:17,300
and inheritance nothing.

916
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:45,800
Amy?

917
01:21:49,100 --> 01:21:51,000
I didn't know
you had an interest...

918
01:21:51,100 --> 01:21:52,800
in this little thing.

919
01:21:52,900 --> 01:21:55,800
I don't.
Not a personal one...

920
01:21:55,900 --> 01:21:58,200
but in her general well-being.

921
01:22:01,500 --> 01:22:03,300
Her general well-being.

922
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:07,400
Well, tell him, Amy--
was I hurting you?

923
01:22:07,500 --> 01:22:09,800
Were my attentions
unwelcome, perhaps?

924
01:22:09,900 --> 01:22:12,000
No. No, sir.

925
01:22:12,100 --> 01:22:15,100
I'm quite all right,
Mr. Adamson.

926
01:22:15,100 --> 01:22:16,800
Please.

927
01:22:18,100 --> 01:22:20,800
I think you should
apologize, sir...

928
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,700
and leave us.

929
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,200
I think Amy should run on.

930
01:22:29,300 --> 01:22:31,400
I think she'd do best
to run on.

931
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:33,300
Sir.

932
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,800
Run off, then, child.

933
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:40,400
I can always find you
if I want you.

934
01:22:46,300 --> 01:22:50,800
Servants in this house
are none of your concern...

935
01:22:50,900 --> 01:22:53,400
Mr. Adamson.

936
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:56,400
You do not pay their wages...

937
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,800
and I'll thank you
not to interfere with them.

938
01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,900
That little creature
is no more than a child...

939
01:23:02,900 --> 01:23:04,700
and one who's not had
a proper childhood.

940
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,700
Nonsense.

941
01:23:06,700 --> 01:23:10,300
She's a nice little
packet of flesh...

942
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:14,600
and her heart beats faster
when I reach for it...

943
01:23:14,700 --> 01:23:18,800
and her little mouth
opens sweetly and eagerly.

944
01:23:21,900 --> 01:23:24,400
You know nothing, Adamson.

945
01:23:24,500 --> 01:23:26,900
I've noticed
that you know nothing.

946
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,800
Go back to your beetles
and your creepy-crawlies.

947
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:36,600
I won't hurt the little puss,
you can believe.

948
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,300
Just add a little bit
of natural spice.

949
01:23:41,300 --> 01:23:44,100
Anyway,
it's none of your business.

950
01:23:44,100 --> 01:23:46,100
You're a hanger-on.

951
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,000
And I've yet to learn
what use you are to the world...

952
01:23:49,100 --> 01:23:51,000
or anyone in it.

953
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:53,700
I told you.

954
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,800
I've noticed
that you know nothing.

955
01:24:08,700 --> 01:24:12,200
"And what of
the fusca ant males?

956
01:24:12,300 --> 01:24:14,300
"Their fate exemplifies...

957
01:24:14,300 --> 01:24:16,600
"the remorseless,
random purposefulness...

958
01:24:16,700 --> 01:24:19,600
"of Dame Nature,
of natural selection.

959
01:24:19,700 --> 01:24:21,900
"Their whole existence
is directed...

960
01:24:21,900 --> 01:24:23,300
"only to the nuptial dance...

961
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,700
"and the fertilization
of the queens.

962
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,300
"They are flying
amorous projectiles...

963
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,000
"truly no more
than the burning arrows...

964
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:33,800
"of the winged
and blindfold God of Love...

965
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:35,600
"and after their day of glory...

966
01:24:35,700 --> 01:24:39,900
"they're unnecessary
and unwanted.

967
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,400
"They run hither and thither...

968
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,300
"aimlessly draggle-winged.

969
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:46,700
"They are beaten back
for the most part...

970
01:24:46,700 --> 01:24:48,700
"from the doors
of their home nests...

971
01:24:48,700 --> 01:24:50,700
"and driven away
to mope and die...

972
01:24:50,700 --> 01:24:52,200
"in the cooling evenings...

973
01:24:52,300 --> 01:24:55,200
"of the late summer
and early autumn."

974
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:58,800
Very eloquent.

975
01:24:58,900 --> 01:25:00,800
I'm quite overcome with pity...

976
01:25:00,900 --> 01:25:02,800
for these poor, useless
male creatures.

977
01:25:02,900 --> 01:25:07,300
I must admit, I'd never seen
them in that light before.

978
01:25:07,300 --> 01:25:09,800
Do you not think
you may have been...

979
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,300
somewhat anthropomorphic
in your choice of rhetoric?

980
01:25:15,300 --> 01:25:18,300
I thought that was
our intention in this history--

981
01:25:18,300 --> 01:25:21,800
to appeal to a wide audience
by telling scientific truths...

982
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,300
with a note of the fabulous.

983
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:27,800
Perhaps I've overdone it.

984
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:30,300
I could tone it down.

985
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,300
I'm quite sure you should not.

986
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,300
It will do excellently
as it is.

987
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,800
It will appeal greatly
to the dramatic emotions.

988
01:25:37,900 --> 01:25:40,300
The book
is to be delightful...

989
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,500
as well as profound
and truthful, is it not?

990
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,200
I've been making a collection
of literary citations...

991
01:25:48,300 --> 01:25:52,000
which I thought you might place
at the head of your chapters.

992
01:25:52,100 --> 01:25:55,900
I found a wonderful sonnet
by poor, mad John Clare...

993
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,700
which seems to suggest
that our ideas of fairies...

994
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,300
are only anthropomorphizing
of insects...

995
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:03,800
and I've had an idea...

996
01:26:03,900 --> 01:26:07,100
to put my little drawings
of fairy insects into a book.

997
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,300
A book?

998
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,800
I'm amazed
at your accomplishments--

999
01:26:11,900 --> 01:26:15,400
Latin, Greek, draftsmanship
of a high quality...

1000
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,300
a thorough knowledge
of English literature.

1001
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,300
I was educated
with my betters...

1002
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:21,800
in the schoolroom
of a bishop.

1003
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:22,700
in the schoolroom
of a bishop.

1004
01:26:22,900 --> 01:26:24,300
My father was the tutor...

1005
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:27,500
and the bishop's lady
kindly intentioned.

1006
01:26:27,500 --> 01:26:31,800
You should publish
on your own behalf.

1007
01:26:31,900 --> 01:26:34,300
This is for
my own entertainment.

1008
01:26:35,900 --> 01:26:39,300
The ants, you know,
were my muse.

1009
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,500
They inspired me.

1010
01:27:21,300 --> 01:27:23,200
I'll take it into town
on the pretext...

1011
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,400
of looking
for new winter boots.

1012
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,600
I do not trust
that village postmistress...

1013
01:27:27,700 --> 01:27:31,300
not to tell everyone
that a fat packet has gone off.

1014
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,800
We do not wish
to attract attention...

1015
01:27:33,900 --> 01:27:36,300
to what may be a completely
fruitless endeavor.

1016
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,800
No. When the book
is handsomely bound...

1017
01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:41,200
and ready for review...

1018
01:27:41,300 --> 01:27:43,000
then we shall be open.

1019
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,400
She can't be expected
to do any more...

1020
01:28:16,500 --> 01:28:18,400
in her condition.

1021
01:28:18,500 --> 01:28:20,400
Get this cushion here.

1022
01:28:20,500 --> 01:28:22,500
That's better.

1023
01:28:29,500 --> 01:28:31,400
Can I have a drink?

1024
01:29:24,700 --> 01:29:27,200
Mother?

1025
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,000
There.

1026
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:19,200
Good.

1027
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:45,800
"Dear Mr. Adamson...

1028
01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,400
"You are to be
heartily congratulated...

1029
01:30:48,500 --> 01:30:50,800
"upon your ingenious
natural history...

1030
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:52,700
"which is
just the kind of book...

1031
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:54,800
"which the world of letters
at present cannot have enough.

1032
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:56,300
"We are very happy...

1033
01:30:56,300 --> 01:30:58,300
"you've chosen our house
as the publishers...

1034
01:30:58,300 --> 01:31:00,300
"and hope we may come
to a happy arrangement...

1035
01:31:00,300 --> 01:31:02,700
"for what will be
a fruitful partnership.

1036
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,400
"Yours sincerely,
J. Marion, publisher."

1037
01:31:04,500 --> 01:31:06,200
I was so afraid.

1038
01:31:06,300 --> 01:31:08,200
I can hardly believe it.

1039
01:31:08,300 --> 01:31:09,700
We must not be
oversanguine.

1040
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:11,300
I have no idea
of the profit...

1041
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:13,100
from a successful book.

1042
01:31:13,100 --> 01:31:15,700
Nor l, nor l.

1043
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,900
I hardly like to mention it
to Sir Harald.

1044
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,200
He's in a very bad way
with his own project.

1045
01:31:23,300 --> 01:31:25,600
He's torn up several
sheaves of writing...

1046
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,000
only yesterday.

1047
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:31,000
I don't feel I've given him
the support he needs.

1048
01:31:32,300 --> 01:31:35,900
Oh, I understand.

1049
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,700
Perhaps--

1050
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:39,800
It's not certain enough
yet to be revealed...

1051
01:31:39,900 --> 01:31:41,900
perhaps we should
keep our own counsel.

1052
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:43,900
I'm quite happy
to go on as we are.

1053
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,900
The shock--the surprise,
I should say--

1054
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:48,800
will be
all the more complete...

1055
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:52,200
when we come to reveal
what has been in the making.

1056
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:06,200
Mr. William,
I can tell you now...

1057
01:32:06,300 --> 01:32:09,000
that you are the father of
not one, but two infant girls...

1058
01:32:09,100 --> 01:32:12,200
both living, both doing well.

1059
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:38,500
Hounds, gentlemen, please!

1060
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:01,800
Mr. Adamson!

1061
01:33:01,900 --> 01:33:03,300
Whoa!

1062
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,200
Mr. Adamson, sir!

1063
01:33:05,300 --> 01:33:08,200
You're asked to come back
to Miss Eugenia, please.

1064
01:33:08,300 --> 01:33:10,700
Is she ill?
Is anything wrong?

1065
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:13,700
Didn't say, sir.
Just come back to Miss Eugenia.

1066
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:41,300
Is my wife well?

1067
01:33:41,300 --> 01:33:43,300
I think so, sir.

1068
01:33:43,300 --> 01:33:44,900
Do you know where she is?

1069
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:47,300
In her room, sir, I think.

1070
01:33:47,300 --> 01:33:51,000
She told me she was not to be
disturbed until after dinner.

1071
01:34:28,900 --> 01:34:30,700
Get dressed.

1072
01:34:42,900 --> 01:34:45,000
Go. Go now.

1073
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:48,800
You must take those.

1074
01:34:48,900 --> 01:34:51,800
Take them in your hand
and anything else and leave.

1075
01:34:54,100 --> 01:34:57,600
I told you to go now!

1076
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,200
You, too. Dress yourself.

1077
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,200
Cover up now. Just cover up.

1078
01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:14,800
William...

1079
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:16,400
Dress yourself!

1080
01:35:16,500 --> 01:35:18,900
Just dress yourself!

1081
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,400
Dress yourself!

1082
01:35:24,700 --> 01:35:28,000
It's like a whorehouse!

1083
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,300
It's disgusting.

1084
01:35:32,300 --> 01:35:33,800
You are disgusting.

1085
01:35:35,300 --> 01:35:38,300
I can't put this on
without Martha.

1086
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:43,300
Will you help me?

1087
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,800
I shan't touch you.

1088
01:35:45,900 --> 01:35:48,300
Why don't you just
cover yourself?

1089
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:51,300
Cover yourself!
You're horrible to see!

1090
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:57,800
Hurry up!

1091
01:36:11,300 --> 01:36:12,800
This...

1092
01:36:14,100 --> 01:36:19,000
This has been going on
for some time, hasn't it?

1093
01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:21,300
Has it?

1094
01:36:21,300 --> 01:36:23,800
All the time I've been here.

1095
01:36:29,100 --> 01:36:30,200
Yes.

1096
01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:38,200
How long?

1097
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:44,000
Since I was very little.

1098
01:36:44,100 --> 01:36:46,300
Very little. Yes.

1099
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:51,300
You cannot possibly understand.

1100
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,800
No, I cannot.

1101
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:59,600
At first, it seemed...

1102
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:02,300
nothing to do with
the rest of my life.

1103
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:05,700
It was just
something secret...

1104
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:08,800
that was. You know?

1105
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:16,300
Like other things
you must not do and do...

1106
01:37:16,300 --> 01:37:18,800
Iike touching yourself
in the dark.

1107
01:37:20,900 --> 01:37:22,900
You don't understand.

1108
01:37:26,100 --> 01:37:30,700
When I was going
to marry Captain Hunt, he saw.

1109
01:37:30,700 --> 01:37:32,900
He saw.

1110
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,300
Not so much as you have seen,
but enough to guess.

1111
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:40,400
And it preyed on his mind.

1112
01:37:40,500 --> 01:37:42,800
It preyed on his mind.

1113
01:37:42,900 --> 01:37:46,300
I swore then I would stop it...

1114
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,900
and I did stop it...

1115
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:51,800
because I wanted
to be married...

1116
01:37:51,900 --> 01:37:55,300
and good
and like other people...

1117
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:59,400
and I did persuade him
that he was mistaken in me.

1118
01:38:00,900 --> 01:38:03,400
It was so hard...

1119
01:38:03,500 --> 01:38:06,300
for he could not say
what he feared.

1120
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:09,400
He would not speak it out loud.

1121
01:38:10,900 --> 01:38:15,400
That was when I saw
how very terrible it was...

1122
01:38:16,900 --> 01:38:18,400
I was.

1123
01:38:20,900 --> 01:38:23,400
Only we could not stop.

1124
01:38:24,900 --> 01:38:27,000
I don't think...

1125
01:38:27,100 --> 01:38:29,400
that he meant even to stop.

1126
01:38:30,900 --> 01:38:33,100
He's strong, William.

1127
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:36,100
And, of course,
Captain Hunt--

1128
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:38,200
someone led him to see it...

1129
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:42,400
and he wrote a terrible letter
to both of us...

1130
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:44,900
and he said...

1131
01:38:44,900 --> 01:38:48,300
oh, that he could not
live with the knowledge...

1132
01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,000
even if we could--

1133
01:38:50,100 --> 01:38:52,400
that is what he said--

1134
01:38:52,500 --> 01:38:55,200
and then he shot himself.

1135
01:38:55,300 --> 01:38:57,500
In the desk,
there was a note to me...

1136
01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:59,600
saying I would know why
he had died...

1137
01:38:59,900 --> 01:39:03,600
and he hoped that
I would be able to be happy.

1138
01:39:04,900 --> 01:39:08,200
And even after that,
you just went right on.

1139
01:39:08,300 --> 01:39:11,900
Who else could I turn to?

1140
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:13,700
Well, you turned to me.

1141
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:16,200
You made use of me anyhow.

1142
01:39:16,300 --> 01:39:18,700
All the children,
who revert so shockingly...

1143
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,500
to the ancestral type--

1144
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:25,700
No! I don't know!

1145
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,200
Well, I know, don't l?

1146
01:39:28,300 --> 01:39:29,700
Perfectly obvious!

1147
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:31,800
You just have to look at them!

1148
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:43,000
I'll go now.

1149
01:39:43,100 --> 01:39:44,800
We can talk again later.

1150
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,300
What will you do?

1151
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,700
I don't know what I shall do.

1152
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:58,800
I shall tell you when I do know.

1153
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:04,800
You need not be afraid
that I shall kill myself...

1154
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,400
or him.

1155
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:12,500
I want to be a free man,
not a convicted murderer.

1156
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:32,200
Remember, William...

1157
01:40:32,300 --> 01:40:35,300
the aim is to get rid of
all your letters.

1158
01:41:55,900 --> 01:41:58,800
Phoenix.

1159
01:41:58,900 --> 01:42:01,300
I only had this left.

1160
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:08,700
No, not now. Later.

1161
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:10,800
I'll find a time later.

1162
01:42:48,900 --> 01:42:51,300
Please take a seat.

1163
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,800
I hope you don't think this
is too conspiratorial.

1164
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,100
You wish to talk.

1165
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:15,900
You sent me a word tonight...

1166
01:43:15,900 --> 01:43:19,900
and someone sent for me to
come back to the house today...

1167
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:21,400
when I was not wanted...

1168
01:43:21,500 --> 01:43:23,900
when I was anything
but wanted.

1169
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,400
I didn't send for you...

1170
01:43:26,500 --> 01:43:28,400
if that's what you're thinking.

1171
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:32,900
There are people in a house,
you know...

1172
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,400
who can know everything
that's going on--

1173
01:43:35,500 --> 01:43:36,900
invisible people.

1174
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,400
Now and then,
the house simply decides...

1175
01:43:39,500 --> 01:43:40,900
that something must happen.

1176
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:44,500
I think your message
came to you...

1177
01:43:44,500 --> 01:43:47,000
after a series
of misunderstandings...

1178
01:43:47,100 --> 01:43:49,400
that were at
some level deliberate.

1179
01:43:49,500 --> 01:43:52,900
But you know what I saw.

1180
01:43:59,500 --> 01:44:01,300
There are people in houses...

1181
01:44:01,300 --> 01:44:04,400
between the visible
inhabitants and the invisible--

1182
01:44:04,500 --> 01:44:05,900
Iargely invisible to both--

1183
01:44:05,900 --> 01:44:10,400
who can know a very great deal
if they choose.

1184
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,900
I choose to know about
some things...

1185
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:14,900
and not about others.

1186
01:44:16,900 --> 01:44:18,400
I've become interested...

1187
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:21,500
in knowing about things
that concern you.

1188
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:23,500
I've been used.

1189
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:25,600
I've been made a fool of.

1190
01:44:25,700 --> 01:44:28,200
Even so, that's not
the most important thing.

1191
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:30,500
What I want to know
is what you feel.

1192
01:44:30,500 --> 01:44:32,700
I want to know
what you're going to do.

1193
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:39,000
I find that
my most powerful feeling...

1194
01:44:39,100 --> 01:44:40,900
is that I'm free.

1195
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:49,600
I ought to feel shocked
or vengeful, humiliated...

1196
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,600
and I do feel all these things
from time to time...

1197
01:44:52,700 --> 01:44:57,100
but mostly,
I feel I can go now.

1198
01:44:58,500 --> 01:45:00,900
I can leave this house.

1199
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:04,700
I can return to my true work.

1200
01:45:04,700 --> 01:45:08,200
There was talk of equipping
a further Amazon venture.

1201
01:45:10,300 --> 01:45:12,400
I cannot now take
one Alabaster penny.

1202
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:13,900
You must see that.

1203
01:45:13,900 --> 01:45:16,400
You see everything,
I begin to think.

1204
01:45:17,900 --> 01:45:23,300
I must go away and soon...
and never return.

1205
01:45:23,300 --> 01:45:26,700
You are all
that I shall miss here.

1206
01:45:28,900 --> 01:45:30,900
I've never felt anything...

1207
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:33,700
in my heart of hearts...

1208
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,100
for all those white children.

1209
01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:39,600
This may be only of the moment.

1210
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:45,000
No, I can go. I shall go.

1211
01:45:45,100 --> 01:45:48,600
My book--our book--
will provide something.

1212
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:50,000
More can be earned.

1213
01:45:50,100 --> 01:45:52,900
I've sold my book.

1214
01:45:52,900 --> 01:45:56,300
Your book?

1215
01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:58,600
Yes. I told you
I was preparing...

1216
01:45:58,700 --> 01:46:00,900
a book of
drawings and writings...

1217
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:05,600
integrating the insect realm
with fairy tales.

1218
01:46:05,700 --> 01:46:07,400
When did you write it?

1219
01:46:07,500 --> 01:46:09,800
Why didn't you tell me?

1220
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:15,400
I wrote it here.

1221
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:16,600
I had to do it alone.

1222
01:46:16,700 --> 01:46:20,400
I had to do something
that would be mine.

1223
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:23,400
All my life, I've worked
for others for their good.

1224
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:28,000
Everything I had,
even this...

1225
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:32,000
could be taken away from me
on someone else's whim.

1226
01:46:32,100 --> 01:46:35,400
My book was my secret...

1227
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:38,600
just as now it's my gift.

1228
01:46:38,700 --> 01:46:41,700
You are not offering...

1229
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:43,900
I've taken certain steps...

1230
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:46,300
entirely subject
to your approval.

1231
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:53,900
I have a banker's draft from
Mr. John Marion, publisher...

1232
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:55,200
which would be more
than sufficient...

1233
01:46:55,300 --> 01:46:57,500
and a letter
from Mr. Stevens...

1234
01:46:57,500 --> 01:47:00,500
offering to negotiate the sales
of specimens as before...

1235
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:02,400
and a letter
from Captain Papagay...

1236
01:47:02,500 --> 01:47:04,900
who sails from Liverpool
to Rio in a month.

1237
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,000
He has two berths free.

1238
01:47:07,100 --> 01:47:08,800
You truly are a good fairy.

1239
01:47:08,900 --> 01:47:10,300
You wave your wand...

1240
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:11,800
and I have everything
I desire...

1241
01:47:11,900 --> 01:47:13,400
before I can
think of desiring it.

1242
01:47:13,400 --> 01:47:16,400
I watch and contrive
and write letters...

1243
01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:18,900
and consider your nature,
and you do desire it.

1244
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:20,900
You've just said so.

1245
01:47:20,900 --> 01:47:23,100
Two berths?

1246
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:28,300
I would come with you.

1247
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:30,900
You've filled me with a desire
for paradisal places.

1248
01:47:30,900 --> 01:47:33,700
I shall not rest until
I've seen the great river...

1249
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:35,800
and felt
the air of the tropics.

1250
01:47:35,900 --> 01:47:38,300
You cannot do that.

1251
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:41,200
Think of the fever...

1252
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:42,900
think of the terrible,
biting creatures...

1253
01:47:42,900 --> 01:47:45,500
think of the monotonous,
insufficient food...

1254
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:48,400
of the rough men out there,
the drunkenness.

1255
01:47:48,500 --> 01:47:50,400
Yet you will go there.

1256
01:47:50,500 --> 01:47:52,000
- I'm not a woman.
- Oh, I am.

1257
01:47:52,100 --> 01:47:54,400
It's no place for a woman.

1258
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:55,500
There are women there.

1259
01:47:55,500 --> 01:47:58,000
Yes, but not of your kind.

1260
01:47:58,100 --> 01:48:02,400
I don't think you know
what kind of woman I am.

1261
01:48:02,500 --> 01:48:05,300
I don't think you know
that I am a woman.

1262
01:48:09,900 --> 01:48:11,800
You've never seen me.

1263
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:14,400
Why should that not
continue as it is?

1264
01:48:14,500 --> 01:48:17,400
You have no idea who I am.

1265
01:48:17,500 --> 01:48:20,700
You have no idea
even how old I am.

1266
01:48:20,800 --> 01:48:24,200
You think I am between
30 and 50. Confess it.

1267
01:48:24,300 --> 01:48:27,600
If you know so precisely
what it is I think...

1268
01:48:27,700 --> 01:48:30,600
it's because
you've meant me to think it.

1269
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:35,400
All right, tell me.

1270
01:48:35,500 --> 01:48:38,500
Since you invite the question,
how old are you?

1271
01:48:41,500 --> 01:48:44,500
I'm 27.

1272
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,100
I've one life...

1273
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:50,200
and 27 years of it
have passed...

1274
01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:51,400
and I intend to begin living.

1275
01:48:51,500 --> 01:48:54,500
Not in the rain forest.
Not in the Amazons.

1276
01:48:54,500 --> 01:48:56,200
The place is very much
an inferno.

1277
01:48:56,300 --> 01:48:57,900
But you will go there.

1278
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,500
My work is there, Matty.

1279
01:48:59,500 --> 01:49:00,700
I know how to live that life.

1280
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:03,700
I can learn.
I'm strong, resourceful.

1281
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:07,600
I have not lived softly,
contrary to appearances.

1282
01:49:07,700 --> 01:49:09,900
You need not heed me
once the voyage is over.

1283
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:10,900
It's a daydream.

1284
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:12,100
It is what I will do!

1285
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:13,800
Matty, Miss Crompton...

1286
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:17,900
Up here, at night,
there is no Matty.

1287
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:20,400
My name is Matilda.

1288
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:30,100
Look at me!

1289
01:49:32,500 --> 01:49:35,000
I have looked at you.

1290
01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,600
I've seen your wrists, Matilda.

1291
01:50:05,500 --> 01:50:09,200
I only wanted you to see me.

1292
01:50:09,300 --> 01:50:14,000
I don't think
that was all you wanted.

1293
01:50:18,300 --> 01:50:20,400
Shall I stay here?

1294
01:50:22,500 --> 01:50:24,300
Or shall I go back now?

1295
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:30,900
I should like you to stay...

1296
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:32,700
but it's not
very comfortable here.

1297
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:42,300
If we are to travel together...

1298
01:50:42,300 --> 01:50:47,400
you'll find that
we'll look back on this...

1299
01:50:47,500 --> 01:50:50,600
as a paradise of comfort.

1300
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:12,900
So... you have decided.

1301
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:14,800
What is to be my fate?

1302
01:51:14,900 --> 01:51:18,600
I must confess,
I'm more interested in my own.

1303
01:51:20,500 --> 01:51:23,900
I've decided to leave you,
Eugenia.

1304
01:51:23,900 --> 01:51:29,400
And... shall you speak
to anyone?

1305
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:34,400
Shall you tell?

1306
01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:37,900
Who can I tell, Eugenia...

1307
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:42,100
whom I should not destroy
in the telling?

1308
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:44,400
You must live with yourself.

1309
01:51:44,500 --> 01:51:46,900
That's all I can say.

1310
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,500
You must live with yourself.

1311
01:51:51,500 --> 01:51:54,500
I know it was bad.

1312
01:51:56,300 --> 01:51:59,900
I know it was bad...

1313
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:04,900
but you must understand--
it didn't feel bad.

1314
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,400
Breeders know even
first-cousin marriages...

1315
01:52:07,500 --> 01:52:09,900
produce inherited defects,
increase the likelihood--

1316
01:52:09,900 --> 01:52:12,900
That is a cruel thing to say.

1317
01:52:26,700 --> 01:52:29,900
Morpho Eugenia...

1318
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,200
you are very lovely.

1319
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:37,800
It has not done me any good
to look pretty...

1320
01:52:37,900 --> 01:52:39,800
to be admired.

1321
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,600
I would like to be different.

1322
01:52:51,500 --> 01:52:56,900
Good-bye, Eugenia.
I shall not return.

1323
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:55,600
Be off. Come on.
