RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHERRR panel realy

Good morning, Church. I'm sorry to ask for such an early start, but the dinner is almost

upon us. Of course. Has Mrs. Bruce been showing everything about the house she needs to know?

Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Herrick was very kind and she will be here to help on the day.

Can we borrow enough extra footmen? Mrs. Fish and Mrs. DePewick might have lined up.

And all the footmen have come up on 63th Street.

I must decide on the service.

What's all this?

Have you two been here all night? Not all night.

We were out for most of it and we've only just got back.

Church, I need you to order the carriage to take Mr. Larry and Mr. Keen to the station in Providence.

Very good, ma'am.

So you're banishing us?

Well, they talked to you at Harvard. How to get drunk?

That's a pretty fair assessment when you say so, Malcolm.

You find it funnier than I do. Leave it.

Mr. Keen, I wonder if Larry and I could have a few moments together.

Of course. I'll get changed and pack my things, Mrs. Russell.

And I'm sorry about the glass.

You can take a cab home when you get to New York.

And what about the dinner for the duke? I thought my presence was required.

Not if you behave like this.

It's just a glass, mother.

How long do you plan to keep playing the fool?

I don't know. I suppose until it stops being fun.

It's no fun for me, I assure you.

I know you despised her.

Mrs. Blaine wasn't right for you. That's all I'll say on the subject.

You have to admit, you're pleased she's broken my heart.

You won't admit anything of the sort. I only ever want what's best for my children.

It'll do you good to be away from Newport.

There aren't any reminders of her in New York.

Now go and get ready.

You're kind to fit me in before you leave for Newport.

You must have so much to do.

We're mainly going for Mrs. Russell's famous dinner.

She's really making a splash with her duke.

I'm sorry you won't be there?

I hardly know her.

But Oscar thinks he should have been asked.

I dare say Mrs. Russell had her reasons.

I know he was running after Mrs. Russell's daughter before he met me.

So perhaps that's why.

Oscar liked her?

But you surely don't want a man who's never been interested in a woman before.

No, of course not.

But I worry about his motives.

After all, Gladys Russell will be very rich.

And so will you.

Of course.

Is he just a fortune hunter?

If he is, he wouldn't be the first.

But I don't want to burn my wings again.

I'm very fond of Oscar.

He's clever and funny.

And I'm sure he'll do well.

But there's no rush.

Take your time in getting to know him.

Then come to your own conclusions.

You're right.

There's no rush.

And I do like him.

And now I should be on my way.

Oh, Miss Beaten.

I was just seeing her out.

No need.

I know my way.

Thank you, Aurora.

Mr. Vane.

I wish you'd come in earlier.

Why?

Because I had a very uncomfortable few minutes.

Oh?

She suspects Oscar's motives in his pursuit of her.

I warned you not to get involved.

He's my cousin, and I must help him any way I can.

And I think he's really very fond of her.

You mean you hope he is.

Am I late?

You were sorting out the library.

The lab, are you beating the carpets next?

John, please give Miss Marion some tea.

And then would you leave us?

Why must you leave us?

Because I have something to say.

Grish?

Should I leave you too?

No.

I want you and Marion to stay.

As my niece and nephew,

you're the closest I'll ever come to having children.

This is very melodramatic.

Are we to witness your will?

I'm surprised what you're going to leave will warrant three signatures.

Mama, let her speak.

You all know the Reverend Mr. Forte.

We certainly do. What about him?

Well, the thing is...

This is like extracting teeth.

He has asked me to marry him, and I have said yes.

What?

You heard me.

How lovely that.

I'll tell you this is wonderful news.

Yes, I'll ring the bell. We must open some champagne.

You will not ring the bell. We will not open any champagne.

When was this decided?

A few days ago.

When is the wedding to take place?

Next week.

Next week?

God in heaven, why the rush?

I've been waiting my entire life for this.

I don't need a long engagement.

Luke's curate will perform the ceremony.

Then we'll return to Sixty-first Street for a modest wedding breakfast.

That sounds lovely.

I'll ask friends and cousins if they can spare the time.

I'm going to ask Banister and Mrs. Bower since they've been with us for so many years,

and Bridget will be there to check my appearance.

Do you think Miss Scott would come?

I am sure she would want to, but she's still on her assignment in Tuskegee.

Miss Scott won't be the only one absent.

You're not coming to the wedding?

No.

And just in case there is any misunderstanding, Oscar will not be there either.

Mama.

But I... I had hoped that Oscar would take me down the aisle.

I'd be honored.

My son will not participate in your Tomfoolery.

Mama, this is harsh even for you.

Well, I'll be your maid of honor.

Well, you indeed.

You're very calm and collected.

Did you know what Ada was going to say?

Marian encouraged me to tell you.

We hoped you'd be happy for me.

Why, when you're making a terrible mistake?

What do you know about marriage?

Or the duties of a wife?

You're a spinster.

And you've always been a spinster.

Why must you be so unkind?

You're right.

I have a great deal to learn which I'm looking forward to.

Please don't spoil it for me.

There's a cab outside for Mr. Oscar.

Thank you.

What about you, Bannister?

Did you know Miss Ada is engaged to marry the Reverend Mr. Forte?

Oh, congratulations Miss Ada.

Do not congratulate her.

I'm sorry?

Resinned your congratulations.

And Agnes, this is silly.

Please do not tell me how to spit to my own butler.

My apologies, Miss Ada, but I must cancel.

My congratulations at Mrs. Van Ryan's request.

I quite understand, Bannister.

I'm going up.

My head feels like a beating drum.

I am so sorry, Aunt Ada.

Perhaps she'll come around.

Oh dear, don't wake in.

Not when your happiness is close enough to touch.

But Agnes.

Aunt Agnes is strong.

She'll get used to it.

She can punch nails through a wall with her bare hands and not notice.

She could certainly punch me through a wall.

And it sounds like she intends to do just that.

Is it your goal to work at a hotel?

I hope so.

When I passed the test to get into Tuskegee, I thought,

now I can learn a trade.

So I won't have to look after Wifold Cheerin for the rest of my life.

I don't know how to do that. You'd have to move to the city.

I don't mind.

Well, what's David have to say about it?

We ain't got married yet.

Mm-hmm.

I'd like to be on my own for a bit.

Like Miss Scott?

She gets to travel for her work all the way from New York.

How do you get your job?

Well, I went to school, studied, worked hard,

sent out plenty of query letters.

Mr. Fortune made me an offer, and here I am.

You're lucky to be from the North.

You should come back and teach a newspaper write class down here.

Oh, yes, yes.

Tell us about New York City.

Uh-huh.

Well, it's very big and busy.

I like her menu board, but I'm not sure we're quite there with the savory.

The Duke is English. I thought he'd like deviled kidneys.

Possibly. But I doubt how American guests would.

Have you enlisted all the chefs you'll need?

I've taken on five, and I've tested them all.

Thank you.

I think we'll use the Bernard O. China with a son-lewie glass.

Very good, Madam.

The Duke's room is ready if Madam would care to inspect it,

so is the room for his valet.

And don't forget the flowers.

Mrs. Bruce, my one remaining worry is Adel Hyde.

She tries her best, but her skill with the tiara is limited.

She's perfectly adequate as a maid for Miss Gladys, but I need more.

She was only ever meant to be temporary while we found a successor to Miss Turner.

But here we are months later, and I've done nothing to find a new one.

It's entirely my fault.

I can make inquiries in the town.

Do that. We have a few days yet, but nothing's go wrong.

Of course, ma'am.

Are you all right? You seem a little forlorn.

You can read me so well, Miss Biddin.

I'm in the middle of a family drama.

Can I help?

Not really. My aunt is getting married, but my mother has forbidden me to go to the wedding.

Why?

She's taken against him, I suppose.

How sad. You're poor aunt.

Miss Biddin, are you romantic?

What woman is it?

You've inspired me. I shall defy my mother and go anyway, but only if you'll come with me.

I'd be happy to, especially since you're doing me such a good service today.

Mr. Peter Barnes.

It's good to see you again, Mr. Barnes.

And thank you for letting me drag you away from your duties.

I suppose Mrs. Russell is as demanding as usual?

I'm glad to see you two, Miss Turner.

Or I should say, Mrs. Winzerton now.

But you're right about Mrs. Russell, and I'm afraid I can't stay more than a minute.

How are the preparations going for her dinner next week?

Everyone's in a fizz about entertaining a duke.

Mr. Church, more than the others. You can imagine.

Good old Mr. Church. Never wanted to play down his own importance.

But I need you to do me a favor. A paid favor, of course.

What are old friends for?

You won't be working alone. Mr. Borden has hired some chefs to help him,

and one of them, a Mr. Schneider, is working for me.

This grows more intriguing by the minutes.

Hello, Mr. Crowther.

Mr. Crowther, it's always a pleasure to see you again.

I wish I could believe that. You must be so bored having to explain the whole thing every time.

That's why I brought Mr. Van Rine.

How do you do?

He's going to try and stop me feeling like a fool.

I'm not sure he should be here. You can trust me implicitly.

Please let him stay.

It's highly unusual.

Please sit down.

Can I offer you any refreshment?

No, thank you. But I'd love to know more about the company.

Here's a booklet if you'd like to read.

I would. Miss Speedin has told me about your plans to take over the Chicago and Atlanta Railway.

Has she indeed?

Was I wrong?

Not wrong, exactly.

But it's going through.

Oh, yes. Most definitely.

You have all the money you need.

We have nearly all the money we need. We should reach our target in the next couple of weeks.

And Mr. Gould is satisfied.

Heavens, you are well informed.

I'm afraid I tell him everything these days. Please don't be angry with me.

I would just ask Mr. Van Rine to keep silent.

About any information you may give him, we cannot risk wrecking the deal at the last moment.

I'll be as silent as the grave. I promise.

Miss Ada has asked for a train in her room.

We don't understand. She's not ill.

She didn't say.

She's well enough to eat.

Shall I tell Mrs. Bauer to prepare a train?

Yes, thank you.

Do you know what this is about?

You are many things, Aunt Agnes, but I'd never describe you as obtuse.

Explain yourself.

It's the way you spoke to Aunt Ada that keeps her in her room.

She's finally found the man she wants to marry.

Can't you just accept it?

You've not forgotten that you live here at my pleasure.

Do you really want to quarrel with your only surviving sibling?

This marriage would be a disgrace.

What would our parents think if I were to say nothing and let this happen?

So you try to please the dead by bullying the living?

Oh.

You might not care what I think.

Or how on date it feels, but I'm certain you care what everyone else will say.

And to the outside world it will seem that you are petulant and angry,

because Ada is no longer at your beck and call.

Will Miss Marion also be having a tray in her room, ma?

Huh.

Will Miss Marion also be having a tray in her room, ma?

Huh.

It is now the largest building in the town of Tuskegee.

Unfortunately, Miss Porter could not be here,

but we thank him for his generosity and public spirit.

So without further ado, I present to you the A.H. Porter Dormatore.

I'm going to go talk to Mr. Wylen.

I'm going to go talk to Mr. Wylen.

I'm going to go talk to Mr. Wylen.

I'm going to go talk to Mr. Wylen.

I'm going to go talk to Mr. Washington.

All right, I'll get some photos.

Oh, David, hello.

Do you mind if I get a few coats for the newspapers?

Not at all, not at all.

So how does it feel to be able to attend class and who live in a building

you help create with your own hand?

It's very moving.

In fact, I didn't expect it to be so emotional.

Getting weepy, David?

I'm proud to know that we really did that.

Makes me feel like we could do anything.

And what do you plan to do with your Tuskegee diploma?

I'd like to have my own farm so I could support a family.

I met your girlfriend.

I'd also like to use my farm to help out with our family business.

And what's that?

My mama started a restaurant.

I plan on supplying them with the harvest from the crop on the land.

Well, I wish you all the best.

Thank you.

You should visit my mama's place.

Oh, yes, we might take you up on that.

But first, Mr. Washington wants to give us a tour.

Of course.

Thank you again, David.

It was nice seeing you.

Take care.

I'll tell my mama to look out for you.

Yes, sir.

Take these.

Hello.

It's Brooke.

Mr. Russell.

What a surprise.

I thought you were spending the summer in Newport.

Unfortunately, my clients were in the house.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm sure you're in Newport.

Unfortunately, my clients changed.

Unfortunately.

You don't want to hear it?

But I do.

It wasn't very original.

Lovers meets, lovers part, boo-hoo.

I know how that plays out.

Of course.

You told me the night of Gladys' ball.

And now we're even twin sufferers on the cool carousel of life.

Let's be comrades in arms instead.

Where are you going?

Just to the park to get some flowers from my painting class this afternoon.

I'll come too if you'll have me.

Bill, what will you do now you're back in New York?

Well, no doubt, father will have some ideas, but we'll see.

I'll have one.

Can I help you, man?

I wanted to check that everything is under control.

Certainly, but.

Oh, Mrs. Bruce, have you got anywhere with finding a maid?

We have a hairdryer.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

You got anywhere with finding a maid?

We have a hairdresser who will place her tiara and then stay for the rest of the evening

to help any lady whose hair may be in trouble.

I feel like a racehorse approaching the starting gate.

And you'll be a winner, man.

Nothing.

I'm stopping now.

Schneider, is that sauce ready yet?

Got it here for you to taste, Mr. Borden.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

Okay.

I'm going to get something cool in the right way.

Mrs. Moose, is it too? You've hired a new mate.

I was going to tell you.

She's only going to arrange the mistress's hair and place her to you.

I could have done it. I usually do.

I know, but this is a special occasion.

You'd learn something if you watch.

They told me someone was here, but not that it was you.

Mrs. Nelson is quite the baker, and she insists on bringing me her work.

The taste. Would you like one?

No.

Is everything all right?

No, it is not.

Sorry to hear that.

Please. Sit down.

How can I help?

I gather you and Ada plan to marry.

I'm relieved she's told you.

You are aware that she has no money to speak of.

Mrs. Van Rine, I love her.

I never expected to fall in love at my age, but I had not then met Ada.

Love seldom survives marriage.

I'm sorry if that was your experience.

But why must you do it so quickly?

Am I to understand that you are against the plan?

How perceptive?

I don't intend to take her away from you.

Ada's with me every day and night.

Are you saying that won't change?

There will be changes, yes, but I mean to retire in New York.

I will never ask you to leave the city.

Maybe not, but she will be gone from my house leaving me alone.

Because that is what I will be. Alone.

You have your son and your niece.

Children marry and go.

Ada.

It's the only family that I could rely on.

It was Ada who was there at Oscar's birth.

We buried our parents together.

It's just my only true friend.

We both love Ada. That is clear.

Then stop being so selfish.

I am not the selfish one here.

And the fact is you have a choice.

Would you like to be a part of our life or not?

Because I am not going anywhere.

Marriage takes priority.

God's command is clear.

Therefore man shall leave his father and mother

and shall leave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh.

Have you nothing more to say?

Not if you've given God the last word.

How can I answer that?

How are things in Pittsburgh?

I'm a brig. I'll have to go down there.

What did you want to see me?

I need your help.

You know I'm a trustee of the New Brooklyn Bridge.

Which is almost finished.

Yes, but there seem to be more meetings than ever.

And with Pittsburgh ready to explode,

I wondered if you might represent me.

Now you're back in New York.

I haven't given up on architecture, you know.

This won't take long.

And you've studied engineering. You can say sensible things.

What are the meetings about?

The final design details?

And we've had some deaths and injuries.

Always part of it I'm sad to say.

And a chief engineer, Mr. Robling,

who has not proved satisfactory.

What do you mean?

He's never there.

I'm told his home is an absolute hive of activity.

But if he's working hard, and I suppose he must be,

why aren't we allowed to question him?

Does he give a reason?

Norman Tate, who manages the trustees, says it's his health.

He fell ill soon after the building started.

Well, he's done a terrific job. You can't argue with that.

It's already one of the main sites in the city.

I'll write a tape and tell him what we're doing.

Let's see what you can find out.

Go to Robling's house.

Beardim and his den.

I wish you'd let me wear the blue.

No! This is what I've ordered, and this is what you wear.

What's wrong with the blue dress?

It's not how I want you to look.

It's fussy and girlish when it needs to be simple and elegant.

Some are not allowed to dress myself.

You want a look, good, don't you?

Last week, the tribute named you as one of the best-dressed debutants of the year.

Do you think those things happen by accident?

I'd still like to choose my own clothes.

But your choice would be wrong, my dear.

Happily, you have me to guide you.

Trust me.

I'm sorry.

For losing control of my emotions.

If ever there was a time to do so, I'd say it's now.

But what are we going to do about Agnes?

Mrs. the hardest choice you'll ever face, but you're not alone.

Luke, I don't know if this is the right time for this, but I also don't know if there will ever be a right time.

That's where faith comes in.

Have I told you that I didn't want to move to New York?

Why not?

Because I loved my parish in Boston.

I asked if I could stay. I even wrote to the bishop.

What did the bishop say?

He reminded me of when Jesus asks that the cup be taken from his lips.

We know how that turned out.

Yes.

So I obeyed the order, and I had faith.

And my reward has been more than I could ever have imagined.

I never dreamt that I might still fall in love.

Not now.

But...

Ada, please don't decide anything without talking to Mary in first.

Yes. All right.

Mr. Russell.

Mr. Russell.

What a surprise.

But you got my father's letters.

And we're delighted to have you represent him, but I didn't know you were coming here.

I am Norman Tate, and this is Mrs. Robling.

I came to pay my respects to Mr. Robling.

I gather he rarely comes to the bridge or to your office.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm afraid my husband is away.

Um, bridge business?

Not exactly.

Mr. Brandon, you see her, ma'am?

Yes, I know about this.

Will you excuse me, gentlemen?

Mr. Brandon, let's see what you brought.

Does Mr. Robling spend a lot of time in Newport?

I believe he's fond of the place.

Even now, when the bridge is about to open, how does he manage the construction when he's away?

He delegates. He has his deputies, his helpers, and his wife.

She's a good organizer.

She must be. She knows his way of thinking.

I assume Mr. Robling will be there for the opening ceremonies.

We are marking the occasion with a reception here in this house.

I hope you and your father will come.

But he'll be at the bridge beforehand.

I doubt it.

And now, I'm terribly sorry, but I must go. I'm sure you understand.

I'll send you notice of our meetings.

The twenty-thousandth.

We will direct a pavilion at the terminal just here, the dedication ceremony.

Take these plans now and alert Mr. Harris that I will come to inspect it at three o'clock.

That should be enough for now, but you'll have a final paperwork on Monday.

Oh, Mr. Russell.

Is this where Mr. Robling works?

This is where the work is done, yes.

But I'm afraid I have some errands to run. Has Mr. Tate gone?

He has. And don't worry, I'm going to. Thank you for seeing me, Mrs. Robling.

Come in.

Oh, thank goodness it's you.

I've chosen this and Brigitte is going to cheer it up a little.

We've bought veiling and some things for our address.

It'll be charming. Brigitte, could you please give us a minute?

Yes, Miss.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I daren't sit with all these pins.

Who knows if I'll ever even wear it.

What do you mean?

Perhaps it's time I face the facts.

What are you saying?

I can't turn my back on my sister.

So you're going to give up Luke Forte? Just to satisfy ontagnas?

No. Not give up, exactly.

But perhaps if we postpone things until Agnes comes around.

You can't live your life waiting for ontagnas' approval.

But she's so...

No. This quarrel is of her making. You have done nothing wrong.

It won't let you spoil your future.

But she refuses even to be there.

I have no one to take me down the aisle.

Cousin Dachshil has invited me to a picnic luncheon.

I'll ask him to give you away.

Do you think he would?

It does sound respectable.

I'll go fetch Bridget. We need this dress to be finished in time.

Luke told me to speak to you before I made a final decision.

Now I know why.

Then I'm very glad I was here.

Oh.

My, my, aren't we all busy little bees?

Jack, still tinkering with that?

I believe I solved the problem if you want to try it.

I don't think so. I'm known for my punctuality.

I don't want to take a chance on a homemade contraption.

I'll test it if you'll allow me.

Maybe Miss Armstrong's right. I'll tell you when I'm ready.

What is it?

I've just pricked myself as all. Don't bleed on that vey.

You're wasting your time.

Miss Ada doesn't have the nerve to marry a man Mrs. Van Rine dislikes.

But what if they do marry?

Which they won't.

Mrs. Van Rine may not need as many servants once your sister's gone.

Miss Mary, you'll still be here.

Well, she went soon too.

Then what becomes of us?

Then there's only one person left to serve.

Maybe Mr. Oscar will find a bride and live in the house.

Why don't that?

I suppose you've heard of your hand most.

The German anarchist?

Anarchist and man of violence.

He likes to celebrate the murder of the Russian emperor.

He preaches savagery and violence to bring political change.

What about him?

He's been in Pittsburgh.

His agents are still there.

Poisoning the minds of your workers.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised after the Labor Day march last year.

And the message is simple.

If you want revolution, you must take up your weapons and use them.

Is Henderson convinced I want him?

The leaders go where the workers take them and their demands keep getting louder.

Constant chance of 888.

What's that?

8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, and 8 hours of what you will.

It's the what you will that's proving the sticking point.

Would it be so terrible for them to have some time with their families?

Yes, it would be terrible because it would lead first to lower profits

and finally to ruin violence bloodshed and death.

Please don't hold back on my account.

I mean it.

Any concession now could only spell weakness.

Weakness is the harbinger of chaos.

One blink could you lose the war.

Mr. Van Rahn, I'm not sure about this.

Why?

You're trying to find the money to complete your takeover.

I have funds to invest.

What can be the problem?

But this is a closed partnership with a limited number of investors all well known to each other.

Well, I know you.

You know me and we both know Miss Beaton.

Just let me invest and we'll all make some money.

Well, your picnic was over one, too.

Not really a picnic at all, more an open-air banquet.

Probably.

And now you've brought me home.

You've gone to so much trouble.

He likes to take trouble for you.

Which makes me feel all the more ungrateful.

I'm afraid I've got a favor to ask.

Name it.

Would you walk on data down the aisle?

I'm talking to this forbidden Oscar, too.

And now she's wavering, but if I could say you'd be there it would give her courage.

Of course I will.

And Francis can be of our world.

Could I really?

That's a lovely idea.

I'm surprised to hear Aunt Agnes is against marriage.

Not for everyone, just on data.

Let's relief.

I'll take a picture of her walk.

Mrs. Robling here.

I'll announce you, sir.

It's all right, Philip.

I'll deal with this.

Mr. Russell.

I wasn't expecting you.

You weren't expecting me, really.

Not so soon.

Not without warning.

But you knew I would guess.

I thought you might.

May I see the workroom again?

How did you know?

Because nothing made sense.

The deputies who knew your husband's mind, his tastes and his ideas.

The person who knew all that best was you.

And only you.

In all the years since we started building, none of the other trustees ever came to this house.

Not one.

Well, now I have come.

So tell me.

Please.

Where did you study engineering?

How was it possible?

When my father-in-law was first commissioned to design the bridge,

my husband and I went to Europe to study what it would entail.

Stress analysis, cable construction, calculating catenary curves, and the rest.

So you learn those things?

I know it is all considered beyond the grasp of a mere woman.

But I did.

Then my father-in-law died, and my husband was made chief engineer.

But he fell ill soon after.

And then he took over?

Not at first. We worked together.

I would deliver his orders and designs.

But he got worse.

And then it was just you.

Last year some of the board wanted to replace him.

But Mr. Tate and I persuaded him not to.

So you would continue in charge of the work.

And Mr. Tate knew?

Several of them knew.

But they couldn't make it public.

Of course not.

This bridge will be one of the finest in the land, in the world.

You should be proud of it, but I suppose you can't be.

No one must know a woman was the engineer behind the bridge.

They might not even want to walk across it.

It's a shame.

An unjust shame.

So he proposes that you should move to San Francisco,

and never see your daughter again.

That's it, sir. In a nutshell.

I should be very sorry to lose you, but I'm sure you know that.

I've not decided yet.

I told him I needed to discuss his offer with Flora

before I made any decisions, but he says that she has no wish to speak to me.

Do you believe that?

I don't know what to believe, which is why I feel I must hear it from her.

That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

There you are.

I'm so pleased you're here.

I shouldn't be.

Pittsburgh is about to blow sky high.

Don't think about that now. Think about it tomorrow.

Right. Are you ready to go down?

Yes, sir. Arriving.

Are the oysters laid out?

Yes, sir.

He's done.

Welcome back, Mr. Watson. Peter.

Where are we with the first course? Final touches, sir.

How was your journey, Mr. Watson?

Very pleasant. Thank you, Mrs. Bruce.

I always enjoy traveling in the master's private rail car.

You're sure you do.

I'm sure you do.

Schneider, coming, sir.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bronson.

Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Elliott.

Mr. McAllister, it's so good of you to come.

I never like to miss a red carpet, and certainly not one which can boast in English Duke.

Yes, where is that, Duke? The viewers.

Do you think we can claim him as our own? I would.

He'll be down momentarily.

Yes, Mrs. Aisster come.

She's opened beachwood, so I asked her, but she made an excuse.

She's a little cross with me right now.

Well, I can understand why, but she is missing out on what may be the event of the new part season.

Everyone's talking about it, especially those who weren't invited.

Naturally, Mrs. Aisster will feign indifference, then she'll force all the details out of me.

It looks perfect, and all the right people here.

Even some who are on the other side of the opera war.

My dear, the way to win a war is to bring out your biggest weapon, and yours is the Duke.

Now, I hope I'm happy with my placement.

I think you will agree with me.

I think you will agree with me.

I think you will agree with me.

I think you will agree with me.

I think you will agree with me.

I hope I'm happy with my placement.

I think you will agree.

It's great. The Duke of Buckingham.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Russell, my room is a work of art, and I see everything's exquisite here, too.

We do what we can, but I hope we haven't overwhelmed you with our guests.

Of course not.

May I present Mr. and Mrs. Feign?

Mr. Feign? Mrs. Feign?

Do you think Newport will live up to your expectations, Duke?

I'm sure Mrs. Russell's Newport will.

Well said.

But not our Newport.

May I present Mr. and Mrs. Winterton?

I know the Winterton's.

I hope I'll see more of you while I'm here.

You'll see as much of us as we're allowed.

What Mrs. Winterton means?

I don't think you've met our daughter, Gladys.

Mrs. Russell.

How do you do?

Gladys.

You look...

Don't worry. You're sitting next to her, Denn.

They're going in.

Something odd is going on.

I could have sworn I saw that man put something in the sauce for the first course.

Schneider, what's he talking about?

I don't know, Mr. Borden.

What's he talking about?

I don't know, Mr. Borden.

That's revolving.

Everyone, cancel the first course.

Schneider, get away from that coo.

They'll deal with you later.

I'll tell the footman.

Gladys, you're there.

I thought I'd be with the younger girl now.

I don't know if you think.

Mr. Borden, we must start serving!

This tastes good to me.

We'll start with the soup.

But is it hot enough?

Rather him than me.

Peter, come take this off.

I think Peter and that man Schneider were up to something.

They were whispering before Peter took the soup.

I tasted the soup.

It's fine.

I don't know. Something's not right.

Who was Peter serving?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

That's all.

Mrs. Winterdon, are you all right?

Why shouldn't I be?

You seem rather agitated.

Well, I'm not.

Jerusalem, Artichoke and Truffle.

What a wonderful way to begin.

I'd forgotten that was the first course, but...

Good.

Now, I mustn't monopolize you.

Gladys.

Do you spend a lot of time in Newport?

Miss Russell.

My mother seems to like it, so I suppose that's what will happen.

Until you make your own life.

Do any of us ever really make our own lives?

And that's a deep question when you barely begun to eat.

Your wife and daughter seem to have the duke sewn up between them.

I expect a lot of women here must be rather annoyed.

But I suppose both of us would just do it.

I think you can safely say that.

Are you sure you ought to waste your time, Mom, below me?

Would you rather speak to your other neighbor?

No. Let Gladys entertain him for a change.

We must hope he finds Gladys entertained.

Uh-huh.

Everything was delicious, Miss Durk.

Oh, good.

I hope you all save room for dessert, because we're giving you a special treatment today.

Colored woman newspaper writer.

I've seen it all.

Well, we were quite impressed with your son at Tuskegee.

That's right.

David is my heart.

He's going to do more than I could ever imagine.

Uh, Mrs. Durk?

I'll be back with some dessert.

I'm bursting.

Oh, I think if we want to leave this place, we're going to have to clean our plates.

I will tell you to loosen your belt.

I wish I had that option.

Here's anyone ever been part of an evening as beautifully managed as this one.

I'm lucky other people of Newport to number Mrs. George Russell among your leading citizens.

Very lucky indeed.

Mrs. Russell.

Here, here.

Thank you all.

I'm thank you to our charming and generous guest of honor.

Ladies, why don't we let the men enjoy their porn?

Well, it was a good dinner.

You must admit that.

I wouldn't admit it if they tore my fingernails off to make me.

So have you enjoyed yourself on our trip?

More than that.

Huh?

Been inspired.

Especially by the female students.

They have such ambition despite their circumstances.

They're fearless.

And so are you.

Am I?

Well, I like that you think that.

But there is so much more I want to do.

My lack of courage keeps getting in the way.

Well, I certainly believe you can accomplish everything you want.

B!

Hey, B!

B!

You outdid yourself a dischick him.

How may I help y'all?

Why you sound all formal, B?

We've been knowing each other our whole lives.

I am doing business.

What can't get you, Mr. Mason?

You know what I like.

Why don't you go on back, cook me up some extra tasty?

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

You call me Mr. Mason?

Don't, sir.

Let me fix you up some chicken to take home.

What if I want to stay and eat it here?

Are you trying to tell me what to do?

No, sir.

You think things are different now, but they really ain't.

You hear me talking to you, girl?

Mr. Mason, come on.

Stop it!

What'd you say?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No.

Let it go.

Don't get smart with me.

You know who I am?

They from out to town.

Shut your mouth, you best sit down, boy.

This here's Mason's start.

He's the county commissioner.

Start?

I'm going to have to teach you less so you understand your place.

You better go.

Come on, quickly.

You run!

We'll find you.

I'll go get the rest of my things.

Quickly.

Our man will take you to where you can shelter

and tomorrow morning will take you to the first train.

I'm so sorry to quit you in this position.

We don't have time for apologies.

You need to get on out of here.

Take the low road behind the church.

It was a triumph.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Now I suppose I must turn my attentions back to Pittsburgh.

What can I do to help?

Nothing.

But thank you.

Do you mind?

So, did you get everything you wanted from this evening?

Let's just say we are on our way.

I'm going to bed.

Have I told you how lovely you look tonight?

Several times.

George.

I hired him, so it's my fault.

But we avoided a major disaster.

Thanks to Mr. Watson's sharp eyes.

And you really think Mrs. Winterton was behind it?

Schneider works part-time for her,

and we all know she and Peter Barnes have kept her.

I'm sure she's a good friend.

I'm sure she's a good friend.

I'm sure she's a good friend.

I'm sure she's a good friend.

She's a good friend.

I'm sure she works part-time for her,

and we all know she and Peter Barnes have kept him top-shot.

So, we thwarted Miss Turner's revenge.

I suppose he'll sack Peter Barnes, Mr. Churchill.

How would you say it?

Congusto.

Hahaha.

Hey, come on in.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Let's get one here.

They got the

They've gone. We're safe.

I won't feel safe until I'm back in the city.

My mother warned me, but I never could have imagined this.

This is my fault.

I grew up with these people.

I should have protected you and helped my town.

But that's not who you are.

And that's not who you are.

And that's not who you are.

That's why I hired you.

Well, thanks ever really changed.

You ate here, my dear.

Dad.

Monza, do you look wonderful.

That's a good thing.

Your footman is hailing a cab before your servants?

Good.

Have you changed your mind?

Certainly not.

I've just come down to say goodbye.

D'Acheaux, I see they've made you an accomplice in their betrayal?

She must have a man to give her away, Aunt Agnes.

Surely you can see that.

No. She can't.

Come on. We don't want to be laid.

Ed to Bernister.

I'm going to support Miss Adermull.

And I urge you to do the same.

Or you may regret it for the rest of your life.

You look so pretty.

Oh, thank you, dear.

Is there a desert out there?

On the contrary, Aurora and Charles have come with other cousins

and friends of the bridegroom, of course.

And Oscar?

Oscar, the church is full of flowers and people who've come to witness your happiness.

We should go take our seats.

Thank you, Mrs. Bauer. Thank you, Bridget.

My pleasure, Miss Aderm.

You've earned this, Miss Aderm, and I wish you happiness.

Real happiness.

How kind they are.

Are you nervous?

Should I be? I have no idea.

Because I've never been in your position.

I thought no one would come because of Agnes, but they have.

Now I'm just excited and glad.

You're so certain about marrying Luke.

You have no doubts?

No.

Not at all.

I hope that's true of me when it's my turn.

Be sure it is.

Marriage is something one should never settle for, or talk oneself into.

Yes.

Thank you, Aunt Ada.

We should go.

Yes.

I'm more than Asa.

Oscar.

There I am, Aunt Ada.

Ready to walk you down the aisle, if you'll have me.

I was just going to say the same thing.

I had no one to take me, and now I'm spoiled for choice.

I think Oscar should do it.

If only as a reward for risking Agnes's wrath.

You don't mind too much, do you?

Of course not.

I'm not going to do that.

I'm going to make you.

I'm going to make you.

Do you leave a love?

We are gathered together with you.

We are gathered together with you.

I'm going to make you feel a love.

I'm going to make you feel a love.

I'm going to make you feel a love.

I'm going to make you feel a love.

We are gathered together here in the sight of God,

and in the face of this company, to join together this man and this woman

in holy matrimony, into this holy estate, these two persons present come now to be joined.

I have happened to be together, right, to walk in,

with you and be.

You are supreme.

You

You
