Barchester, England, 1836

- YOU !

Mr Thorne!

Stop! Stop!

- Roger! What is the pleasure worth to me?

- We need to talk of my sister's honor!

You and me.

- Because your sister has an honor? First news.

- A sort of **** !

- Come on ! Upright !

Doctor Thorne

20 years later...

- Of course, you will have to be there, Alexandrina.

There will be all of Courcy's cousins.

And Beatrice, of course!

- And Mary, don't forget Mary!

- Aunt Arabella was formal.

Augusta's Bridesmaids will certainly not be

girls of low extraction.

- Is it because of the newlywed?

- Come on, Beatrice!

- Mr. Moffat is rich. That's right only quality that we can recognize in him.

His father was a tailor.

- Yes, he was a tailor.

But that time is over. From, he showed greatness of spirit.

- By earning a lot of money.

- Miss Thorne is here.

- What a charming picture you make!

- We were talking about the projects of Miss Gresham's wedding.

The date was set for September 1.

- Augusta! How joyful!

Who will be your bridesmaids?

- Beatrice, of course. And my cousins ​​from Courcy.

Sorry, but I...

I hope you...

- No worries for me, that didn't touch me for a minute.

- Miss Thorne is too much sane to have considered the thing.

- This is the ideal period for a moon of honey where do you plan to go?

- Mr Moffat plans to go to Paris.

- What a crazy idea to go in Paris in September!

- Did we ever see the future husband to choose the place of the honeymoon?

- Mr. Moffat must take you wherever you want.

- I'm not so sure.

Among the common people, women may have their say,

but our rank brings its lot constraints with its privileges.

- I adapt to constraints since I don't deserve the privileges.

- I'm going home. It's time to change. Augusta!

- I just attracted myself again the wrath of Lady Alexandrina de Courcy.

- Too bad you're not bridesmaid.

- What did Lady Alexandrina mean? in your opinion ?

How come I'm too sensible for considering it?

Why not imagine it?

- There you are, mother. You missed the discussion around Augusta's marriage.

- Mary, we're going to have to think about leaving us. Beatrice has to go change.

- Of course, Lady Arabella.

I was just about to go home.

- My respects to this good doctor.

- I hope you weren't encouraging her bridesmaid foolishness.

- She knows we won't propose to her.

Why not elsewhere? she is still our oldest friend.

- Because it's my decision.

Isn't it already too much that your sister become a Moffat the rest of her life?

- If you have such a low opinion of her, why let Mary come here?

- Because she's been coming for a long time. - It didn't bother me at the time.

It didn't bother children, my dear.

And your father appreciates much Doctor Thorne.

- Dad says the Thornes are people as well as the Greshams.

- If she really was a Thorne, that would be another matter.

But who is Mary Thorne? And by what means Is she related to the de la Thorne family?

- She is the niece of Doctor Thorne, so she is their cousin.

- She's like her niece and that's it.

The bell rings. Go change.

- Mary, what's the matter?

- Nothing.

- However, I see that something is bothering you.

Why don't you wait for me?

- I left because your mother fired me so that Beatrice can go and change.

And then Lady Alexandrina had had enough of seeing me.

- You never have what to do with Alexandrina.

Do you care now? Do you want me to accompany you?

- No. You have dinner don't be late.

- We don't bother of these conveniences.

- If my aunt makes me think again on whom I should marry,

I no longer answer anything.

- But you will listen to him.

You are going to nod very nicely what she will tell you,

to prevent it from dragging on.

- But that's boring.

'Cause we both know who I should marry.

- Who are you thinking of?

- Of course you. Of course.

- One more word and I oblige you to call me Miss Thorne.

Keep it up and I won't come tomorrow at your birthday party.

Spin! You'll be late and I will be blamed.

- I'm serious, you know. - And young, to be sure.

- I'm older than you. - But I am a woman.

- My uncle ?

What do you think of Augusta's wedding?

- Wish Miss Gresham to be happy with Mr. Moffat.

- Sure, hopefully.

- But I don't believe it for a second. - No ?

- No. I find it degrading for her to marry a man she doesn't care about.

He has neither good manners nor charm. He only has his money for him.

My uncle...

Would it be degrading to me if I married Monsieur Moffat?

- What do you mean ?

I know where to place Augusta.

I would like to know at what rank I locate myself.

- Why the hell this question?

- This afternoon, Lady Alexandrina gave me a thought.

-Lady Alexandrina is a cantankerous viper.

Let her say it, it's not worth no need to pay attention to it.

- Be honest with me, uncle,

and tell me frankly, Am I a Thorne or not?

Am I really your niece?

- Yes, you are my niece.

You are my brother's daughter, Needless to say.

- But...

- Mary I don't know if I want to talk about it.

- But you spared me the subject since long time. Too long !

- All right, if you really want to. Either.

So your mom...

Was a village girl.

And as you guessed it...

She was not my brother's wife.

- Is she still alive?

- I think so. She lives in Australia. She has a husband and children there.

- But she didn't want to raise me?

- She really wanted to keep you,

but your mother's husband demanded that she leave you,

if she wanted to live with him.

She wanted to take her chance.

- My father did not want no longer keep me.

- We'll never know. He died before you were born.

Your mother came to expose me his case of conscience.

And I gave you a home.

No that's not true.

It is thanks to you that I have a home.

For 20 happy years.

- So I'm not a Thorne?

- In my eyes, you are my only daughter.

And the man who will have the honor to be loved by you,

will be envied by the whole world.

- Mother, you understand what does banter mean?

There is nothing very serious in that, from what I saw.

- Did you surprise this kind of banter before?

- Frank and Mary have always been very close, you know.

- Maybe, but be close at 12,

it's not at all the same as at 20 years old.

- In any case, I wanted to let you know.

- It's good. Thank you my daughter. Honesty is the foundation of a healthy life.

Mr Moffat is not here yet. Go back up to your room.

wait a few minutes before you enter.

- He is of marriageable age you have to admit it.

- I won't let you mess up Frank's party!

- It is your responsibility to ensure the prosperity of the area.

- How could I impose anything to Frank,

when it's my stupidity how embarrassed we must be!

- I'll talk to him.

- What's the point ? You had him already spoken many times.

- What do I mean, dear husband?

I hope your difficulties don't go away consume your manners like your fortune.

- I can't see very well how Lady de Courcy,

could encourage Frank to do something he finds downright repulsive.

- I would tell him it's his duty to his parents, to his family,

and to the line from which he descends.

- So that he marries a good match? - Yes, it is that he marries a good match.

- When I was a child, my father owned everything you see through this window.

Now Quinz Hill is over, just like Whitehaven.

And that ridge on the right does today part of the Boxall Hill Estate.

- Because you sold it to this gentleman railways.

- I sold it to Sir Roger Scatcherd.

- That's right. And I who thought live at least 30 years from this windfall.

Ten years have passed and we have no more money.

- I hope Mr. Gresham does not expect us to help him.

- Far from him this idea,

- Mr. Moffat.

- Mr Moffat, I do not believe that you knew my brother, Lord de Courcy.

- Good morning sir. - Good morning sir.

-Lady de Courcy, I present to you Mr. Moffat.

- Then comes the lover which sighs like a furnace,

and sings a plaintive ballad which he addressed to his mistress's eyebrow.

- I beg your pardon ?

- The lover, as you please of Shakespeare.

- I don't see what this eyebrow comes to do there.

- I learned that you will be elected to the seat of the county on which the Château de Courcy depends.

- I'm only a candidate for now, It's not the same thing at all.

- Come stay at the castle during your campaign.

We will invite Augusta and Frank and we will organize a reception,

to support your efforts.

- Me, staying at the Château de Courcy?

- Yes.

We would be delighted.

I hope there is a beautiful amount of money at stake.

- Yes. However, the conditions of the arrangement are prohibitive.

- If he is also rich as you say, pay.

See it as an investment.

- I'll talk to Frank after dinner. - GOOD.

- This is for me.

- And it begins again !

- Beatrice, no! - Come on, mother, he's my brother.

- Leave it to your aunt.

- Frank, you're not a baby anymore.

You know very well that it is the only way to save the day.

- Yes, I must marry a good match. And how do you envision it?

- Do you know Mrs. Dunstable?

- Could it be this American whose the father sells oil from Lebanon?

- Yes, It's them ! You understood perfectly.

Their wealth is immense.

- The opposite would have surprised me.

Why is she in England?

- Very good point!

If she's in England, it is certainly to find a husband.

She's going to stay with us at the castle and you will come to know him.

- I have my diploma to prepare.

- What does your diplomas matter to me!

I remind you that it is here of your future!

- How old is she ?

- But what does it matter? 30 years maybe.

Or 35 years old.

- 30 or 35 years old?

- I don't believe you are in a position to discuss.

- I will come to the castle, my aunt,

but that's all what I can promise you.

- I don't see how to achieve this without it seeming very clunky.

- Clumsiness or not, it is our son's future above all else.

- But our children are very attached to Mary.

I appreciate it, myself, enormously.

- And Frank appreciates it too much, in my view,

too much if we want Frank marry a fortune, don't you think?

Tell Thorn that Mary is not welcome to Greshamsbury,

the time we find a wife to Frank and that's it.

- You forgot one thing.

Sir Roger Scatcherd hired Dr. Thorne to manage his affairs.

He must therefore take care of my debts.

Thorne negotiated terms for me that I would never have gotten anywhere else in the county.

- Is this a reason to sell off your son's life?

- Try to be a while be unreasonable.

- Because you suddenly believe me unable to be reasonable?

Either, here I am forced to repair the wrongs you have done.

But dare I say, as usual, I got used to it.

- I don't want any scandal at the reception tomorrow!

You won't ruin Frank's party!

- He's still in bed, doctor.

There is something that does not go with his legs.

- And alcohol.

- There's this Winter Bones with him.

He spends his time up there writing! Make him go away.

- If I manage to get rid of him, you will be left with the problem of the drink.

- That's not all. We came to him ask to stand for election.

- Who is "we"?

- Local liberals, I imagine.

They think my husband is an important man,

that he could obtain the favors city ​​people.

- He is an important man, too important for this kind of madness.

- Here, Doctor Thorne!

You flushed me out. Are you coming for your paycheck?

- You seem to be better, Scatcherd.

- How is it better? I have never felt so good.

- Look at you, you are lying!

And Winter Bones has no place here.

He just doodles and he reeks of gin.

- He just has to go back to London.

Lady Scatcherd may take care of the paperwork.

- He won't move from here, the case is settled!

- Don't let him talk like that, doctor.

- You go back to your kitchen on the field !

Go away !

Spin!

And don't go up so much that I would not have rung you!

- I'm going to put on my other cap, Do you want ?

Mr. Gresham asks for a new credit,

for the Greshamsbury property.

- Does he still have any shares left? I, who thought I had redeemed everything from him!

- Yes, probably.

So, do we agree?

- We ?

- It's not up to you it's me.

- You absolutely have to stop alcohol on a daily basis.

- Who told you that I drink?

- And what is that these election campaign stories?

- They want me to run against the Greshams' candidate, Mr Moffatt.

- Your body will never last.

- You may be right, but by what right do you give me lessons?

Why should I listen to you?

I have no influence in public life,

I didn't build either of railways,

and finally, I have neither fortune nor titles, but I have experience.

I know how to save lives.

Of course, if you no longer trust...

- But I never had trust in you.

- In that case, call a London specialist,

and reduce your alcohol consumption when he comes.

-Winter Bones!

- Come back!

- Who's asking me? - Sir Roger.

- Why did you ask me?

- Because I made my will.

- You have already made a will of which I am the executor.

- You were one of two executors. NOW...

You will be the only one.

- Provisions for Lady Scatcherd are they the same?

- Not quite.

My wife will have enough to live on but this house, the Greshamsbury mortgage,

the shares and all the money will go to Louis-Philippe.

- What ? All ?

Yes. Louis can get this house back as well as Greshamsbury,

if he decides to cover the loans.

I would be curious to see the reaction of Lady Arabella if he did.

- She would surely be sad and bitter.

And me too.

- Thorne, you go to reception. Greshams tonight?

- I'm invited. Yes.

- Not me. Not a box. Nothing.

Still, I finance the roof over their heads and the floor on which they dance.

Louis wasn't invited either.

However, one day, it will be he who will lead the young Frank Gresham at the baton.

- It will do a lot responsibilities for Louis.

- Don't worry about him.

- Have you taken any other testamentary dispositions?

- No, unless Louis dies before the age of 30.

In this case everything will be fine to my sister's eldest child.

- How ?

- My sister... You remember her of course.

- How to forget it?

In this regard, I am grateful to you for all these years of knowing...

Do not return to this tragedy.

- I know you're sorry.

- You don't know how much.

- You were talking about his eldest child. Can you be more precise ?

You mean his eldest son?

Do you have a name?

- I know she has a family, but I don't really know if they are boys,

or girls and what their names are.

If it's a girl, great.

In this case, your mission would be,

to see that she finds a good husband.

- And how are you going to designate the child?

- My sister's eldest child, of course!

Don't worry, you die maybe before me.

I will then have to take care of your niece and find her a husband.

- Reverend Oriel and Miss Patience Oriel!

- How nice of you to come, Mr Oriel.

Miss, you will forgive me for not offering you dinner.

- We are already flattered to be here, is it not Patience?

- Absolutely. - You see me delighted.

- Our pastor is very kind.

I always thought he was not up to the job.

- And his sister is a pretty lady.

- I heard she had money, but not enough for our business.

- The horse is not bad that your father gave you.

I went to see him just now.

He has a good pedigree, I believe.

- Yes.

- You know, I think, the nephew of Lady Arabella, Lord Porlock.

- Yes, but you were still very young.

- It must have been ten years.

- Where's Mary? - She's outside.

- Excuse me.

- Mary, why are you so cold to me?

- I am not doing it on purpose.

- Come dance.

- That wouldn't be right.

- Not proper?

To dance with the girl who am I going to marry?

- Leave me, please.

Please.

- I don't mind leaving you.

And never again ask you to marry me.

But then tell me that you don't love me.

-Frank? Mom is looking for you, you have to get the ball rolling.

- What a great idea! So open the ball with your brother,

unless Mr. Moffat objects.

- What do I care about his opinion!

But Frank doesn't want to dance with me.

- No... I want to dance with you.

- Has Miss Oriel arrived?

- Yes, I think I saw it.

- Invite her to dance. Take,

- Yes, invite Patience. Besides, she's so pretty.

Go Frank!

- You don't ask me how did that happen ?

- I imagine Sir Roger did his strong head, as usual.

- Effectively. However, I love him very much, as strange as it may seem.

We have always been able to manage over time, despite the circumstances.

- What circumstances?

- Those things that would have could make us enemies,

and then finally, no.

- It's vulgar to be mysterious. That's what you always taught me.

- Would you do me the honor to grant me this dance?

- Excuse me, but my uncle is very tired.

- Would you grant me this dance?

- I'm afraid Mr. Oriel just invited me.

- Would you have liked do we have money?

- If it could save you from to tire and to frequent,

places like Boxall Hill.

- Is that all you want?

- I might want a headdress like that of Patience.

- Do you like hats? - Are you surprised?

- Why did you refuse to dance with Frank?

- Because Mr. Oriel invited me first.

- Is this the only time Frank invited you all evening?

- Uncle, you told me yourself that I was not worthy of Mr. Gresham.

- No way. Do you take me for Lady Arabella?

- Alright. But if you were Lady Arabella,

would you like your son, marry an unnamed girl, a b****.

- Don't say that word! Not in front of me.

- All right.

But admit it's ugly on your part to criticize it,

if you think the same as her.

- But will he agree for the payment ?

- Probably.

- He's in a bad mood right now, but he will never refuse a loan for this house.

- So much the better.

- Mr Gresham, there is no reason to rejoice.

You already owe Scatcherd more of 3/4 of the value of the domain.

It's risky.

You are a bit dependent of him and his moods.

Besides Scatcherd was a little upset,

that you did not invite her son Louis the other night.

It's a shame you didn't make it to maintain good neighborly relations.

- What I want to know, it's so Louis Scatcherd,

will be conciliatory with me when he succeeds his father.

- I don't know, but if his father persists in standing for election,

Louis will succeed him sooner than we think.

- Yes...

- I leave you. Good day.

Bye.

- Doctor Thorne!

- Hello Lady Arabella.

- Would you like to come in for a moment?

I'm glad you came by today. I just have something to tell you.

The subject is not easy to broach.

You know all respect, all respect,

and the real affection we have for you and little Mary, of course.

I therefore hope, dear doctor,

that you won't take it badly what I'm going to tell you.

- I'll try.

- Let's not beat around the bush.

You know what the situation is of my husband as to our estate.

Besides, you know numbers better than me.

Since many years, he spends crazy sums,

in horse racing betting, not to mention this pack of dogs,

who scream and are useless.

All this to tell you that Frank will inherit a heritage,

which is worth nothing.

His only hope of finding a situation correct would be to marry a good match.

- And a woman of heart who will shine through her kindness, her youth and her beauty.

Hope he finds such a wife.

- Yes, of course, but you need money,

otherwise Frank will be a ruined man.

Isn't that what you want?

- Of course not.

- GOOD.

Because I heard say things,

finally that certain words had been pronounced between Frank and Mary.

Totally inappropriate words.

- Unseemly? What lyrics?

And where do you get that from?

- Doctor, obviously they are getting the yard and it looks serious.

- What happened ?

Speak, Lady Arabella, I will not let not Mary suffer this kind of innuendo.

Please tell me what these rumors are. What are you accusing him of?

I was told about a certain request.

- And who made it?

- Of course, Frank was reckless, I recognize him.

However, I think that the wrongs are shared.

- Allow me to doubt it. I totally refute it.

- I assure you that Frank has well asks and that means,

that he must have succumbed to Mary's charm.

- I beg your pardon ?

- What I mean is that I find this is very unwelcome at the moment,

that they are dating.

- Really ?

- Frank is at Courcy Castle and he leaves for Cambridge.

When he comes home, it might be better...

- I can assure you that Mary won't set foot in your house again,

for a very long time.

- But this should not alter the good relationships you have,

with our family. My husband...

- To alter ? do you think i want to share the table of a house that wants to banish Mary?

You have daughters, would you see me if I had dealt with any of them,

how dare you treat my niece?

My respects, madam.

- Who is that man with Moffat?

- His agent, Mr. Causset. He deals of Mr. Moffat's campaign.

- You can call it Kiss.

- Don't rush me.

- Will he win?

- According to him, yes. But he doesn't seem to want to canvass voters,

which seems absurd to me.

- Take ! Who do I see?

- There you are, Frank! - Where did you want me to be?

- Don't be smart!

Here, Miss Dunstable, she just arrived.

I will present it to you and then you will take him to the table.

- Should I propose to her tonight? - Shut up !

- I present to you my nephew, Mr Gresham.

Frank, Miss Dunstable.

Come over here, you'll help me with the tea.

You too Augusta. Augusta!

- I hope you're not tired from the trip.

- Tired?

In May, we did Rome-Paris without spending a night in a room.

We had to go down 3 times sledding to cross the Simplon Pass.

I believe I can bear a train ride from London.

- I do not doubt for one second.

- And above all, I can't wait to see what lovers I will be able to find here.

- Your lovers?

- I always have in mind to find some lovers in this kind of receptions.

Before I go, I think I'll be caught makes at least 3 marriage proposals.

And if I'm not mistaken, Lord Porlock I'm already about to give me his statement.

You seem surprised.

- Not at all.

- Do you find me really attractive?

- But of course.

- Let's see Mr Gresham, you know as much than me that it's not my beauty,

but my dollars that make me attractive in the eyes of my suitors.

You can recognize it.

- You know he agreed to do campaign against Mister Moffat,

in Barchester County.

- Mr. Gresham told me about it, but on my last visit,

Sir Roger thought that was madness.

- He wants to drive around the Greshams, but I don't know why.

- This is not reasonnable. I told him.

He won't have the strength to stand on a podium.

- Yet he intends to do so.

Do you happen to go to the Greshams, isn't it, doctor?

- Often. - How's little Frank?

- Little Frank has grown up well, You know.

He is 21 years old and he is a great young man now.

- You know, I was his nanny. - I had forgotten.

Between him and Louis, I couldn't not tell you which one I like the most.

- You can be proud of Frank Gresham, I assure you.

But help me convince your husband that he is talking nonsense and that he should rest.

- Doctor, you know it's impossible to tell Sir Roger what to do.

- I'm afraid you're right.

- So like that, are you standing for election?

I thought I told you that was out of the question.

- You mean I did no chance of winning?

- I think you can very well win against Mister Moffat,

but it could cost you your life.

- It amuses me to see the Greshams lose their satisfied little face.

- They no longer have the heart to smile right now.

- Tell me, What is the purpose of your visit ?

- Your will.

- I'm listening to you.

- You have designated as heir second-rate your sister's eldest child.

- Provided that Louis dies before the age of 30, which will not happen,

- Of course. But in this case...

I know your sister's oldest child.

- What ?

- Do you remember Phe, my brother?

- I will remember him until my death.

- So you should know that the eldest child of your sister was also her child.

- But that baby is dead.

- No. She is not dead.

- But Anne came to see me in prison,

before going to Australia and she told me that this child was dead.

- Your sister wanted to erase all the links between his daughter, you,

or any other person so that this little girl may grow up in peace,

without anyone knowing his true identity.

But I wouldn't want designate her as your heir,

without really wanting it, so...

I preferred to let you know.

- Do you see her?

- Of course.

- And your other niece, little Mary, does she know her cousin?

I don't shout it from the rooftops, but Mary knows,

your sister's daughter much better than me.

Does my niece is a nice girl?

It is a person very well in every way.

- So when are you going to introduce her to me?

- She's very busy.

- Does she work as a servant?

- Not really, but she works hard.

- I want to meet her. I have to come to terms with my past.

- I can't promise you anything.

- You think you can stop me now that I know that she is alive?

I will find her and I will tell her who I am is my right!

- Scatcherd, talk to me in another tone!

You have no right over it,

and I won't be intimidated by your rude ways.

- Have you taken your temperature in Barchester?

- According to Causset, we are in the race.

- Alright.

Aren't you afraid of old Scatcherd?

- That Roger Scatcherd has been sick for a long time.

Causset says he won't show himself not in public.

If it happens, it won't make a big impression.

- But you will still campaigning?

- Yes, Causset has people confidence in the field.

- Ask Mr. Gresham, he seems very comfortable in canvassing.

I would have nothing against Miss Dunstable's votes.

- For what ? Does she own Barchester?

- Mr Moffat, can we tell us about our projects?

- I still have to prepare my speech.

- Of course, if you wish that I help you...

- Mr. Moffat! Come, we have need a whist partner.

- I hope my enthusiasm will know excuse my lack of experience,

Lady Alexandrina,

- You are dreaming! At the first mistake, I I'll put a fan on my fingers!

You have been warned.

- You know that Alexandrina likes to tease you.

It does not matter.

- Do you want to play a game of Whist? We could ask Franck.

- No !

Don't disturb him. Leave him to his work.

- Why Miss Thorne turns away from you, what happened?

- My mother is not favorable to Mary, it's very clear,

And my dad never stands up to him.

- He would rather you marry me.

- Don't take that as a compliment. So much that my wife will have a large annual pension,

he doesn't care if she has horns and scales.

- If I can give you some advice, be honest with her.

- Yes, even if Greshamsbury is sold and even working in a stable.

- That's well said!

- Mary, I've decided it's time to tell you everything.

You know your father seduced your mother,

well, to put it politely.

When she could no longer hide her condition, she confided in her brother.

He was furious that we did that to his sister.

- That's a very respectable reaction.

- Yes. He was a man respectable in his own way,

but he could be violent too.

And one evening when he was drunk,

he went to see my brother to give him a beating.

But it killed him.

- My father is dead by the hand of my uncle.

Would my birth be the cause of all evil?

- It wasn't intentional.

The court took this into account.

He went to jail, but not for murder because it was an accident.

He stayed there for ten years.

- The man who committed this crime is he still alive?

- That's why I'm telling you.

I heard he was returned to the region,

and I'm afraid he wants to find you.

- Do not be afraid, he is my mother's brother.

He has the right to know me.

- He's a very impulsive man.

If he ever contacts you, let me know right away.

- Of course.

- Thank you. - For what ?

- To prove to me that Lady Arabella was even closer to the truth than me.

I can't marry Frank. I never could.

And now, dear uncle,

Good night.

- Mary?

- Sir Roger, please, it will be necessary come see my husband. He needs you.

- Fresh lavender!

- What do you have left to do?

- Apparently, I have to give a speech.

- Isn't that the reason why are we here?

- Look, this is Doctor Thorne.

- How kind of you to come.

- I told myself that I had to to Sir Roger to witness his folly.

- So also stay and listen to the speech of Moffat, he's shaking like a leaf!

Miss Dunstable, allow me to introduce you to Doctor Thorne.

- I already have a lot heard of you.

Besides, tell me, how is your lovely niece?

- Mary is fine, but would be surprised to hear that she is the subject of your conversation.

- I am American, Doctor Thorne, I know of no restraint.

- Mr. Moffatt, it's time.

- Really ? My God ! It really is time.

- Where is your opponent?

- Old Scatcherd? I doubt he was able to leave his room.

- I pray he's right.

- So I'm asking you.

- Who is he really, this Mister Moffat?

But he is there!

What have you already done for us?

Nothing at all ! Absolutely nothing !

You see, I don't think look like that,

to this portrait that has been made.

But next to this group, to the pockets filled with money he didn't earn,

which moves exclusively in a horse-drawn carriage,

accompanied by Lords and Ladys.

I find that I am not not so bad after all.

- You, we know you Sir Roger. You are one of us!

- Because you know which I trimmed myself.

I may be a rich man today, to be a baronet but...

When I started I had nothing nothing else in the pocket but a raw potato,

to gnaw if hungry was getting too violent.

So beware!

Don't let him make you think that I don't know what it's like to miss!

- No risk Sir Roger! - Thank you !

- Well done, Sir Scatcherd.

- It's your turn, Mr. Moffat.

The time has come to pronounce your speech. Good luck !

- I am a reformer, deeply convinced.

Yes, a convinced reformer.

- Yes, we understand! Abbreviate!

- I believe very strongly in reform.

- Do you know what they say to him at your reformation?

- What else a nation can she draw more pride,

than the rights it grants to each of its citizens!

- The right to throw that egg!

- Poor Mr. Moffat, he has trouble making himself heard.

- He should have granted more time to voters.

- Above all, he should have give them more money.

- Would you doubt our democracy?

- Say something about their daughter. Flatter their wives, incense the city.

- Barchester is a wonderful town,

but even such a good city can improve through reform.

- I will maintain what I said.

- It's time to carry out the great reforms of the law of 1832,

and go further on the way to freedom!

- Tailor's son, steal a pig and go somewhere else!

- Look at this little suckling pig, he wouldn't even fight for a pie sandwich.

So why would he for a citizen's vote?

- Sir Scatcherd, get up!

- Mr Gresham.

- Mr Gresham, what a great joy to see you.

- It is also a great good to see you, Mary.

- But I don't want to bother you at this hour. Is your uncle there?

- No not yet.

He went to the elections. He still hasn't come back.

- Mary, I would like to tell you how sorry I am,

about all these difficulties.

- I think they were inevitable.

- I hate the idea that we chased you away.

Beatrice does not address us almost no speech.

- I must be grateful to him.

Is it true that she is engaged to Monsieur Oriel?

- Yes, it's true. It all seems to me a bit rushed, but they seem determined.

- Well, you know Beatrice. - Yes a little bit.

- A servant of Boxall. He's here, miss.

He says Sir Roger felt bad.

The doctor is with him, but would need some things.

- I'm coming very soon. Please tell Thomas to saddle my pony.

- I must leave you.

Please keep me informed of Sir Roger's state of health.

- Why did you come?

- I couldn't leave Mrs. Scatcherd without feminine support.

- She has her servants.

- Would you appreciate her leaving me to servants in such a case?

Here is what you asked for. What else can I do?

- Brings a hot water kettle, a glass and a spoon.

- Is that your niece, Doctor? I don't think I've ever seen him.

- She came to support Mrs. Scatcherd.

- Is Louis already there?

- His train must have arrived, it won't be long, I'm sure.

- THANKS.

- Be beaten by only 2 votes seems very cruel to me.

- There should be a game back shortly.

Sir Roger does not appear to be able to sit in Parliament.

- Do you represent Moffat?

- I am afraid that is no.

- You allow ?

- Miss Dunstable is leaving tomorrow. You need to talk to him tonight.

- But my aunt... - Frank, don't disappoint me.

I promised your mother that your family would be saved. Isn't that also your wish?

- Of course yes. - Then, seize this opportunity!

As soon as this terribly individual boring will give you the opportunity.

- All of these people...

They accuse us of sycophancy, but I seems like they are the sycophants.

- Am I accused of sycophancy?

- You see what I mean ?

Miss Gresham wishes live on my fortune,

and his brother wants to redeem his domain with yours.

- That has the merit of being frank.

- Why you and me would we not join forces?

It would make a lot of noise and save us to make a mistake.

- You make me laugh, Mr. Moffat!

I have already refused to Lord Porlock,

one marriage proposal seemed mediocre to me,

for a week spent here.

Thanks to you, I could boast of two.

- So that's another refusal.

- I'm really afraid of it. But be honest, Mr Moffat,

you covet their rank as much as they covet your money.

- Because you, right?

No. I want a man whether he is a gentleman,

and be noble I don't care, Mr. Moffat.

- The way is clear, dear nephew.

- YOU ! Where are they ?

- Upstairs, Sir Louis. In Sir Roger's room.

- You are too sophisticated to this kind of task, miss.

- Louis. Is it really you?

- Take it easy, old lady! Didn't hold me so tight,

you won't have anyone to keep you company.

- It's so good that you're here! So wonderful to see you again!

- So what ? It all seems a little light to me.

Wouldn't you like something stronger?

- Yes, I would like to.

- Give him some brandy. I have a bottle with me if you don't have one.

- It won't change big thing anyway.

- I'm afraid you're right.

- Give me some more for that matter !

The nurses have gained in standing.

- Miss Thorne is the Doctor's niece.

She came to offer me her help.

- That's very generous. Could you stay?

- If you desire it. And if I don't bother,

- I don't see how you might disturb us.

- What did Mr. Moffat want?

- Just know a little more about my wedding plans.

- You have some ?

- None right now. I wish to be courted for my quality as a woman,

and not for my bank account.

- I understand you.

Although my aunt will be furious.

She expects from her vows a union between us and wait for me to ask you.

- And would you propose?

- I have more respect for you than I would have imagined.

And it is true that I would like save Greshamsbury.

- If I wasn't already too old for you and if your heart was not already reserved.

Well, you know, with ifs...

- What can I do ?

Tell him that you asked for my hand and that I refused it. She can't blame you.

Then don't ask for anyone's hand other than Miss Thorne's.

- It's my duty, I'm afraid of not being able to get rid of it.

- It's noble of you, but it is an error.

Your duty is to the queen and to God.

But it's not to maintain your family in luxury.

You are well made, you are young and you have strength.

You can create a good life to you and Miss Thorne.

- We're the last ones still in the living room.

You will probably be relieved after we leave tomorrow morning.

- No way. On the contrary, we hope see you again very soon.

- If only it could be.

Good night Lady de Courcy.

Thank you.

- What did she mean?

- That Greshamsbury will not be saved by to the gold brought by oil from Lebanon.

- What can I do for you ?

- Do you remember my will?

- Of course.

It bothers me that you don't have it changed to your last wishes.

- I changed it, finally, I added a clause, a codicil.

who declares that you and only you knew,

the identity of Anne's eldest child.

I will have...

I would have hoped...

- What would you have liked?

- I just wish I could see her before taking my last breath.

This poor child whom I deprived of a father.

- Is it so important to you?

- I think it would help me find the strength to face what awaits me,

and continue my journey without regrets.

- In that case, I'll grant your wish.

She is there, by candlelight.

Mary Thorne.

She is the daughter of Anne Scatcherd.

- It's true ? Miss Thorne?

- Do you need something ?

- That you give me courage with your smile.

And that is done.

- If all patients could be so easily relieved.

- Come.

- Please accept acknowledgments of a man about to die.

Thank you Thorne, for making enter an angel into this abode.

Which makes me apprehend serenely what awaits me in the hereafter.

- Rest now, Scatcherd.

- What a nice painting Sleeping Beauty!

How is the father?

- Come Lady Scatcherd, you will have been close to him until the end.

What is a man could hope for better?

- Mary, accompany Lady Scatcherd to his room.

Sir Louis. Although you are now the baronet,

your father told me about you and...

Has expressed the wish to place you under my responsibility.

Don't forget that you can you always turn to me,

to get comfort.

- Don't worry about me, doctor.

I've lived my whole life in the shadows of a very large tree.

Now that this tree has fallen,

I might finally have the right me too in the light.

- Will you stay here with your mother?

- Certainly not !

I'm leaving for London after the funeral.

You can transfer me there. the money that comes back to me.

- Augusta?

Augusta, what's going on?

- He left. He left me this letter.

- My God ! The monster !

How dare he say that you didn't love him?

Did you love?

- Whether I liked him or not is not very gentleman to write this.

- Gentleman?

There is nothing gentleman about this man.

- Moffat?

- Where is that devil Moffat? - He left early this morning.

- If you want my opinion, let him go. She'll be better off without him.

- I'm home, mother. - So come and join us.

- Did you have a good time at the Oriels, my child?

- Kaleb joined us for tea.

- You can call him Kaleb in front of us.

And of course, when the two of you are together, but don't call it that too loosely.

- Yes, mother.

- Who else was there?

- Mary was there too. - Mary Thorne?

- She was from Boxall Hill.

We haven't seen each other since. my engagement, so Patience invited her.

- Patience is free to invite whoever pleases him at the presbytery,

but you must support your brother.

- When I'm Mrs. Oriel.

- When you are married, but you are not not yet, you will do what you please.

- Did you mention Frank? - Yes.

- Does he write her letters? - No not at all. Neither does she.

Mother, you are wrong about Mary.

Now I have to change.

- What a devil! - Who ? Beatrice?

- Mary Thorne!

- Hello Lady Arabella. - Is Doctor Thorne there?

- Yes, follow me, please.

- Lady Arabella Gresham, Doctor.

- What an honor, Lady Arabella!

- You must not be unaware that this afternoon,

Mary drank tea with Beatrice and Miss Oriel.

- I don't think I have you congratulations on your daughter's engagement.

- Let me tell you of my feelings.

You know exactly how much I'm worried about Frank.

- You are his mother.

And that we all have with your support,

tried to keep him away of our dear Mary.

- My support ? I didn't support anything like that and never will.

- By letting her stay with the Scatcherds you have favored their estrangement.

- I did no such thing!

- It is my duty to act according to the interests of my children.

- Yes, of course.

- I would like to inform you that I judge reckless than Mary and Beatrice

can spend time together.

- You ask me to disapprove the friendship between Mary and Beatrice?

I appreciate Beatrice, their friendship, I'm very happy about it.

- But this agreement would risk favoring a rapprochement between Frank and Mary.

- I would say only one thing if you want to avoid any rapprochement between them,

talk to Franck, not me, and stop your continued persecution of Mary.

- Persecution?

What are you talking about ? From a very young age, I esteemed her as my own child.

- Until the day you suddenly decided that it no longer suits you.

- You are digressing, I'm afraid.

Goodbye Doctor Thorne.

- My respects Lady Arabella.

- I asked them about you saddle the little mare,

although I know that Louis would like a more elegant frame for you.

- Don't listen to what he says.

I love the little Firebird.

She is very pleasant to ride.

But I wouldn't want that gets you in trouble.

- No not at all. You have been to me of such precious help, my dear child.

I got used to having you with me, but I think,

that it's time for you to take back the course of your life.

- Lady Scatcherd!

- My God ! But it's Louis! I didn't know he was coming home.

- She Makes You Again ride this nag?

- I am very happy to ride this mare.

- For such a good rider as you,

someone with such great ease,

it's really ridiculous!

- Not that kind of stuff, I am fully satisfied.

- I consider it as an insult to your talent.

On a mount worthy of the name, I would of you the racing queen in Hyde Park.

- This is Jonas, my new servant.

A senior must have one, right? Joe, it's empty!

- Here's another one, sir.

- Please excuse me, I couldn't not to align the step of this stallion,

on that of this poor frame.

- Let's not rush my protegee. So please,

don't hesitate to get ahead of us.

- What deep sadness!

- Shouldn't you announce first this news to your parents?

- No, because I think of you will depend on what I have to say to them.

- No, not me.

It's Mary who has her say and them too.

But I don't have any.

- Would you deny me claimant status?

- Frank, you have to think carefully.

You are a good boy and whatever which young woman would be lucky,

to have you as a husband.

- Well then? - It's not that simple.

Greshamsbury is the stronghold of your family for centuries.

It would be extremely painful for your father to become the Gresham,

who will not have been able to save this domain.

- You think I should have listened to my aunt and marry Miss Dunstable?

- Not if you don't like it.

- Actually, yes, I appreciate it. a lot but as a friend.

- Then you were right. It does not cost nothing to have any subject,

of disagreement with Lady De Courcy.

- Could it just be me what do you disapprove of?

- I would be very proud to have you for nephew, but I implore you,

think of your parents and what it means to them.

- I'm too in love, doctor.

My mother asked me not to see Mary anymore and I stuck to it but it doesn't change anything.

- Before going any further, there is something you should know.

My feelings will remain the same.

- Maybe, but you must despite all be aware.

You always heard that Mary was my niece and that's true.

She's my brother's daughter, but not with regard to the laws which govern,

these things usually.

- Carry on.

- It's not easy, I apologize.

Because by speaking to you, I know that I risk to destroy Mary's happiness.

- I'm sure the truth can't be so serious, Mr Thorne.

- It is enough for morals.

- Mr. Mortimer Gatsby.

-Dawson!

Could you inform Mr Gresham?

- You must be Miss Gresham and Miss Beatrice.

- You learned your lesson well.

I believe you know my uncle, Lord de Courcy.

- He himself sent me as a lawyer.

He told me that Greshamsbury was a beautiful place,

but it's even more wonderful than I imagined.

- The question is whether...

- Beatrice, please. How could I help you?

Would you like to see the gardens meanwhile, father?

- I can show you around. - It is an excellent idea.

- Perfect ! Beatrice will pass the word on to him.

- I will not miss it !

- If you would like to follow me.

- Lord de Courcy thinks that I could be of use to you.

- If my uncle thinks so, he must be right.

- Lady Scatcherd?

- That's a good surprise, doctor.

- Let's see what I can offer you.

- Do not bother. Your son sent me a message.

How is he ? Does he still drink so much?

You should use your influence.

- Doctor, I don't have any. You have more than me.

And Miss Thorne has more than any of us!

- You look really good, Miss Thorne.

- I hope this will convince you to be more tender with my mount.

- You know, I'm a good judge in terms of horses.

No one knows them better than me.

- I gladly believe you.

- Just like no one knows better women than me.

- You will make me blush, Sir Louis.

- Mary has influence great on him.

- But ?

- She should come home.

I think now,

it's time.

- Doctor?

- Sir Louis, I wish I could convince you to drink a little less.

- I'll think about it. So these titles of Greshamsbury property?

- Don't worry about it, your lawyers know everything there is to know.

- That's just what my lawyers told me who brings me.

I thought I understood that I had more of 90,000 pounds attached to the estate.

- Yeah, something like that. The investment is very good, without any risk.

- What if I needed the money? - But I doubt it.

- Everyone needs money, doctor.

- You will soon have control everything, Sir Louis.

And in the meantime, I'll make sure your needs are amply covered.

- What if I wanted to live there?

- You would find the places a little big for a single man.

- You think ?

Doctor, how about if I got married?

- I would love to.

It was your father's dearest wish that you quickly found a good wife.

- I don't think you can than to approve my choice,

since it is Mary Thorne.

- Wouldn't she make a good wife?

- Did you talk to him about it?

- Yes and no. I didn't do it to her no official request,

but I am courteous and she must understand what idea I have in mind.

- Sir Louis, you obviously do to Mary a great honor,

but wouldn't it be wiser to learn to get to know you a little better first?

- You don't disagree, I hope?

- I only disagree hasty choices.

Whether it's about Greshamsbury or Mary.

I know my advice will not hinder not your decisions for a very long time but,

I want to show it to you all the same.

- With your permission, I will study the area in detail.

There could be sources untapped revenue.

- It would have to be very lucrative.

- Or else consider a new system reimbursement that would satisfy Sir Louis.

- I highly doubt it.

- His businessman seems try to work things out.

- That's a matter of opinion.

- He's a man of honor and I know that he will do everything to find an arrangement.

Once Sir Louis is the owner, he won't be able to do much more.

It is said that Sir Louis drink more than necessary.

- It's nothing to say.

- Sir Louis is a strong man and resistant, Mr Gatsby.

- He may be drinking too much, but he does not waver.

- This still leaves us a little leeway.

- Frank, what are you doing here?

I didn't expect to see you again before the end of the quarter.

- I would have liked to discuss with you, but that can wait.

- It's useless.

With your permission, Lady Arabella, I will be back the day after tomorrow.

- We will be delighted to see you again.

- I should have introduced you.

Mr Gatsby came to advise us.

- And help us find a way to save all our possessions.

- Are you leaving already, Mr. Gatsby? Have you been called a carriage?

- I think I will walk, it's a beautiful day,

and the air is so nice next to that of London.

- You almost make me want to come.

- I will ask you to come with me. if I didn't risk being indecent.

It would be an opportunity to find out a bit more about Geshamsbury.

- In that case, I'm coming with you. I'm just going to put on a coat.

- I'm waiting for you.

- Are you leaving, Mr. Gatsby? When will we meet again?

- I should be back Thursday.

For now, Miss Gresham will accompany me to the station.

I could learn a bit more about the area.

- She always takes things seriously.

- We can go.

- Miss Béatrice would like maybe join us?

- I am afraid that is no. Augusta is by far the one who knows the village best.

- Miss.

- THANKS. - You're welcome sir.

- What do you want to do ?

- Go to Boxall Hill and ask for Mary's hand.

- Frank, she really will have done everything to put the noose around your neck.

- Mother, this is a terrible mistake. about her.

- How dare you say that I'm cruel when you know

what to do for our survival!

- I'll end up hating Greshamsbury if I hear of it again.

- So you prefer to see us begging our bread by the wayside?

- My dear, we are not there yet.

- Frank, do you really want see me heartbroken?

- Mother, I would like so much make you happy.

- If you wish to return me again happy, make a marriage of money!

- No ! I would have covered myself with ridicule if that had not been for Miss Dunstable,

and I will not make such a mistake again!

- That's what makes you an ungrateful son and without any sense of duty!

- Mother ? - Out of my way !

- This decision is not reasonable, Frank.

And there is something else.

Mary may not know, but his birth is not compatible,

to become your wife or the mother of your children.

- Dr. Thorne told me everything today.

- And it makes no difference?

- Should he?

There were no such considerations about Moffat or Miss Dunstable.

- What is Thorne did he tell you anything else?

- He advised me to think about it,

and especially to talk about it with mother and with you,

before asking for her hand.

- Is that what he told you? I believe you.

I wouldn't have expected anything else on his part.

So be it. But how do you plan to provide for her?

- By working as so many other men.

- So finish your year first in Cambridge, get your degree.

- Yes. I'm going to go talk to Mary.

Thanks Father.

- I can do that, you know.

- Helping you makes me happy.

It must be hard for you, but those clothes will be a blessing to poor families.

- What are you doing in my room?

- We sort out the latest clothes of your father to give to the poor.

- Whatever, burn them!

- You don't mean what you say? - Of course yes !

Just like I ask you to leave me alone with Mary.

- But Sir Louis, it's not... - Get out of here, Lady Scatcherd!

- We shouldn't be left alone both, Sir Louis.

It's not very suitable.

- On the contrary, Miss Thorne, it absolutely is.

Because I would like that we both remain alone,

for the rest of our lives.

You see what I mean ?

- Sir Louis, I am obviously flattered.

- Don't be flattered, be enchanted.

- But I can't answer favorably to your request.

- Why that ? Are you already engaged? - No.

But I am not free.

- You encouraged me to that, miss!

You encouraged me in the most vicious way!

- He was the victim of trickery of that cursed girl!

- Mother, what's the point to talk like that?

- So you think all is lost?

- Do I think Frank will be faithful to Mary? I'm convinced,

and I love him even more for that.

- On the contrary, I don't like him really not for that!

And I refuse to resign myself to this end!

- Mr Frank!

let me kiss your lovely cheeks!

How happy you are to see what a handsome young man you have become,

since the last time I saw you! It's been so long, rascal!

How happy I am!

- Let's see! What are we going to say? You forget that I am a man.

- but definitely not in my eyes Mr. Frank,

you will always be my beloved little gentleman!

- Lady Scatcherd, you are misguided!

Let Mr. Gresham breathe!

- You know that I kept for a long time Mr. Frank when he was little.

- I think I remember, but you are today's Lady Scatcherd.

All of this is behind you!

- Could be, yes. But in those days we survived,

thanks to the generosity parents of Mr. Frank.

Without the roof and the salary they offered me, I don't know how,

we would both have gotten away with it.

- Really ? And where was the father?

- Well, your father was far away from here for a few years.

He would have liked to come back home, but it was impossible.

- I am very flattered that Lady Scatcherd remember me so well.

- How could I have forgotten you?

Look at that pretty hair!

What a beautiful black color they have!

But they don't curl like when you were a little boy!

- That's enough Lady Scatcherd, that's enough!

- I came to see Miss Thorne, Sir Louis.

- She takes a horseback ride from the main entrance.

You just have to go straight and then follow the path.

You will find it.

- What exactly does he want from her?

- You know, they're old friends.

- But we Scratcherds, we don't We're not old friends of the Greshams.

- What is happening ?

- I will make them regret not having not been more courteous to the Scatcherds.

- What's wrong with Mr. Frank could cause you any harm?

- Poor fool! It's right now that he does me harm!

- Mr Gresham.

- Yes it's me.

I have come to pay you my respects.

You must have found me rude for keeping me away for so long.

- No not at all.

- I didn't know you were returned to Greshamsbury.

- And myself, I came to Boxall to keep my distance.

- Why did you want keep your distance?

- I had my reasons.

- Have you heard from me?

- Yes, I had some, but I was busy,

by Lady Scatcherd's affairs,

following the death of Sir Roger.

I didn't have time to think about myself.

- Do you sometimes to think of you?

- I feel a little high, would you help me down?

- Gladly.

- Mary...

Do you remember our last meeting alone?

- I remember your madness.

- Well, I repeat my folly.

During all these months where we were separated,

nothing has been able to alter my feelings.

- Mr Gresham...

There are several elements which make me unworthy of you.

- But I know them, or at least I'm aware,

facts you think which I still don't know.

Your uncle told me everything about your birth.

- You don't have to blame to your mother for rejecting me.

Any other mother would have done the same.

- Mary...

If you tell me that I don't matter to you,

I will go.

I will leave you alone and my mother will be relieved.

you just have to say that you don't love me.

That you can't love me and I will disappear.

So Mary...

Dear and loving Mary...

Do you want to accept to become my wife?

Because the truth is simple.

Mary, I love you with all my heart.

- We're looking for Lady Scatcherd.

- She left for a moment.

I will tell Mrs. that you expect.

- So this is his living room? - Yes.

The only place she's free to do what she wants, poor thing.

Promise me that when you go break the news to your father,

you assure him of your attention to graduate first.

- He knew you would say that.

- Mr Gresham and I are old friends.

We always got along well.

- Will you do us the honor of staying dine with us, Mr. Gresham?

- That's very kind of you, Sir Louis. but I have to go.

- And you, dear Miss Thorne?

You will join to us for the meal?

- Allow me to decline your invitation. I am tired.

I would prefer a tray in my room and I still have a lot of tidying up to do.

I'm afraid I can't accept it. Not this evening !

It's your last evening in Boxall Hill!

- You will nevertheless the duty.

- Take care, Mr Gresham, we are not in Greshamsbury.

It is I who command !

- We don't give orders to Miss Thorne,

neither at Boxall Hill nor at Greshamsbury.

- I would like to know a little better Greshamsbury.

You see, it turns out that I own a large part of it.

- Yes, I know.

- I'm sorry for you have kept waiting.

You're leaving already ?

- I'm afraid so, Lady Scatcherd.

Goodbye, Mary. I'll see you back home.

Sir Louis.

- You scared him, Louis.

Well, let's go up Miss Thorne, I'll help you pack your bags.

- He will be less arrogant during the day where you put it out.

When he finds himself expelled from his own walls to beg for a crust of bread to subsist.

- You are right.

Then he will probably be less arrogant.

- We have mail. - What is this ?

- A letter from Sir Louis Scatcherd, London businessman.

- GOOD. What does he want ?

- It provides a new visit to Boxall Hill.

Apparently he wants to throw a look at Greshamsbury.

- He can't do anything without your permission, is that it?

- Not at the moment.

But his 30th birthday fast approaching,

and he already owns the house and most of the area.

- So he could force them to sell?

He can also redeem their interests between pear and cheese,

without announcing the difference.

- You can't refuse to receive it, right?

- No. He must come. I will answer him and invite him.

That'll give me a chance to plead in favor of the Greshams.

- I think it's best to warn them. Are you going to be there this afternoon?

I wonder. I'm not there returned since you were banned.

- Hello doctor. - THANKS.

- Doctor Thorne.

- Doctor Thorne.

- Won't you come in?

- I hesitate because I don't want not give the impression,

that all is forgotten and forgiven.

- For me, you know, there is absolutely nothing to forgive.

- Your wife does not seem to agree.

- Then why are you here?

- Sir Louis Scatcherd is on his way to Greshamsbury.

He wants to take a look home and land.

- Really ? What for ?

- He might have the project to settle here.

- And you can't stop him?

- Not for a long time. His 30th birthday is in two months.

- I see. I'm pretty scared let it be the end this time.

- I was wondering if it weren't possible,

to appeal to his good background.

- Is there one?

- I can't tell you. I have sympathy for him.

In his defense, I don't think than to be the son of the great Scatcherd,

be a great start in life.

maybe i can try to rally him to your cause.

I invited him to stay home in Greshamsbury.

We have to hang on at the slightest hope.

Therefore, I propose bring him here for dinner.

- That I accompany him? - But of course !

- I doubt it is too obvious to your wife.

She wouldn't really appreciate to know me here right now.

- Why would he want this house,

while he already has this great pile of gothic stones?

- I think he imagines that Greshamsbury Park is a far finer place than Box Hill,

and Sir Louis Scatcherd belongs to the great gentlemen of this world.

- Who are these baskets for?

-Frank! But what are you doing in Greshamsbury?

- Aren't you happy to see me? - How not to be ?

But your exams are in less than a month. You should work harder than ever.

- Don't worry, I'm only here only for dinner tonight.

My father wants me to meet Sir Louis.

I'm glad the Doctor is here.

- I hope he will. He hasn't decided anything yet.

- Beatrice would like that you join us,

but it would be better to concentrate on Sir Louis,

and save my mother for another time.

- I totally agree.

- Here, Mrs. Thompson.

Don't worry about the dishes.

- Thank you, lady, you're really nice.

- I have a word for your uncle.

With another inside for Sir Louis from my mother.

- It's a nice touch.

- Here, sir. - THANKS.

- I'll come back tomorrow for the dishes.

- News from the organization marriage ?

- Yes. But they are secret.

- Even the date?

- We will choose one nearby at the end of your exams.

My uncle will speak of our marriage to your mother.

- If it were up to me, I would do it on the sly to Gretna Green.

We would have much less trouble.

- That's why that we take care of everything.

- Look ! Our guest has arrived.

- I should go home.

- If people were aware of the sacrifices that I'm about to accept,

there would be a gospel song dedicated to my sufferings.

- However, if Sir Louis could finally feeling appreciated,

and befriend the Gresham family, it could only be beneficial.

- Mr. Gatsby motivated us to that we redouble our efforts at dinner.

- He seems convinced that Sir Louis has dominion over us all.

- I'm afraid unfortunately our friend is right.

- And here is the gong!

It's time to prepare for the battle.

- What can he be doing upstairs?

- Getting dressed, I guess. He has been working on it since his arrival.

- He could also have fallen asleep.

- Maybe you should go up to wake him up.

- You are definitely right. I bring him the note.

- Thorn! Here you are !

I go down for a walk.

- I came to see if you had Need something.

Here is a message from Arabella. She renews her invitation for tonight.

- I accept it even if they can't pay me the money they owe me.

Are you also invited to this dinner?

- Indeed, I did not intend to accept, but I decided to go there.

- Good, very good! And Miss Thorne, where is she?

- Downstairs in the living room. - I can't wait to greet her!

- Miss Thorne!

I am delighted.

- Have you seen my uncle?

- He went upstairs to change.

- He's going with you then?

I'm so happy about it.

- I was wondering if I should not take advantage of his absence.

Do you see...

I thought of you.

Since I've been in London, I think about you all the time.

- We also thought of you.

- I was wondering if you could not review your position.

It would not be the first time for a woman to change her mind.

I offered you privileged status, Miss Thorne.

- I am aware of it and I'm honored,

But you see, things are...

- Are you ready ? The carriage is waiting for us.

- I'm glad you're going. You will both enjoy it.

- I don't doubt it for a moment.

It's time for me to discover this place if I want to settle there.

- Sir Louis, please. don't be in such a rush.

- I was sure you would say that, since you prefer Mr. Frank Gresham.

- I love them all and it will be yours too case when you get to know each other.

- Is that also your opinion, doctor?

- That's what I hope.

- Alright. We will have fixed at the end of this evening, right?

- Sir Louis Scatcherd and Doctor Thorne.

- Lord, it's worse than what I thought.

- Thorne, you are the best comrade that I never had. I don't deserve you.

- Take your time with it the doctor, Mr Gresham.

I'm just a baronet, after all.

- It is a great honor of you entertain here tonight, Sir Louis.

- I was curious. We don't have never met,

but I often read your name in my books!

- Good evening Lady Arabella, how are you? - Not really.

- Let me tell you introduce my wife.

- Good evening madam. Ho are you doing ?

- Good enough. Thank you Sir Louis.

- I should have visited you earlier, but I was in London.

Madame has she surrendered in London this season?

- No, not this year.

Circumstances compelled us to stay with us.

- I'm really sorry.

Running out of funds must be,

extremely confusing for someone of your rank.

Hope things work out in everyone's interest!

- Do you hunt, Sir Louis?

- It all depends on what hunting you speak!

- I imagine that you and your sister are bachelors, Miss Gresham?

- My sister is engaged to Monsieur Oriel. As for me, yes, I am.

- I see. So I will have to be careful.

- Beware of what?

- Of an unmarried girl in search of a rich baronet!

- We were expecting you, Sir Louis,

to transform our rural mentalities.

- I think I saw Madame la Baronne today riding through the village.

- I never ride.

- On board your team simple, I mean.

I was delighted to see how you handle the whip around the corner.

- The country is very pleasant here. - Yes quite.

- I would find it hard to say which one I prefer, this house or mine in Boxall Hill.

- You have more trees here but as for the house,

you would recognize her with difficulty, madam,

if you haven't seen her since my dad bought it.

How much do you think he spent?

Come on, guess, ma'am.

- I never guess.

- I am going to tell you because I like precision.

It cost 22419 pounds, 4 shillings and 8 pence.

A nice sum.

Lady Gresham, isn't that a pretty sum?

-Lady Arabella?

- Yes, without a doubt.

A very nice sum.

- You pastors, You're in luck.

You have beauty and fortune.

although not that much about you!

Poor Mr. Gresham!

It was absurd.

He messed up his business in an extraordinary way.

How much do you think he owes me?

Guess! Give me a sum.

- I need air !

- The pastor looks a little stuck!

Maybe he's no longer so sure to marry your sister.

But he has his own funds, is not it ?

If ever a piece or two was missing your daughter, he has more than enough to live on.

- Indeed, Sir Louis, enough to survive to the radicals when they close our churches.

- But no land, I suppose.

- There is no such thing as earth.

Isn't it, squire? Nothing like only a few hectares of dung.

While I hold you, dear sir.

Don't be bamboozled by the lawyers like Mr. Gatsby here.

- I beg your pardon ?

- No, I just want say that the calculation is simple.

Châtelain, you present a debt in my account books of almost 100,000 pounds.

- Will you hold your tongue, sir!

- What ? Hold my tongue?

I forbid you to give me orders!

I'm not the village idiot what do you think, doctor!

Or you, Mr. Gresham.

I know what I am owed and when I can claim it down to the last Penny!

- Maybe we should join these ladies.

- No, he can't join them.

Not in this state. Go for it. I'll wait for the carriage and drive him home.

- I am delighted to see women.

- You will excuse us.

- For what ? What is his problem? I think I'll go there.

- No, sir, you stay here. - By what right do you speak to me in this tone?

- Mr. Gresham, please. join the others.

I knew his condition and truly, I'm ashamed to have brought it to you.

- Thorne, we'll wait for his carriage together and stop worrying.

Drunk men, I've seen them before few in my life.

- Of course.

- You should get going. The train arrives at 3 p.m.

Take Beatrice with you.

- How can she help you? Frank took her decision, she will no longer be able to convince him.

- I agree with you. There's no point talking to Frank anymore.

- Then why is she coming?

- Can I still receive my sister-in-law?

- Lady de Courcy has always many ideas.

- That's his specialty. She also likes to share them.

- Maybe we should introduce her to Sir Louis.

- Don't say this man's name again in my presence.

- Where is he now?

- Boxall Hill. Beatrice says he's never went back to London after that dreadful dinner.

- How does she know? - Mary Thorne tell him.

- Another name whose I don't want to hear anymore

- Mother, honestly, these stories with the Thornes and the Scatcherds,

if you continue we will all become pantomime.

- Did you order the carriage?

- I'm happy to see you aunt, but I don't see what you can do.

- I can always be useful, you never know in advance.

- And for you, Alexandrina, do you also intend to be useful?

- My cousin made a big mistake, however, I don't really have much to add.

- When does Frank get back from Cambridge?

- At the end of the day, he ended up there.

- I understand now where does the urgency come from?

- Can you explain to us?

- Everything in its time.

- Here we are.

- I really don't know what to say to him.

- He's in such a rage against the Greshams,

and on Master Frank in particular.

He loses his temper, groans nonstop and drink more than ever.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

If he wants, he can do much harm to the Greshams.

- I'm afraid it's his will.

He happens to have loaded that scoundrel Winter Bones,

to attack Mr. Gresham in court for money,

and he will complain the day after his birthday.

- Do we know the cause of his fervor to want to get rid of us,

when he is not in need?

- This is where I have my share of responsibility.

I encouraged Mary to stay in Boxall Hill when she was kicked out of this house,

and I'm afraid it allowed to Sir Louis de...

- To fall in love with her.

– He is also passionate in his desire to make her his wife,

than was Lady Arabella to get rid of her.

- In this case, the fault is shared.

We made sure that Mary feel uncomfortable in the village,

and now we're on the way to get what you deserve.

- He must really hate us.

- His anger towards Frank is certainly very large.

- What is it ?

- Frank, my boy.

You arrive at the saddest hour.

It seems that the day of his birthday,

Sir Louis Scatcherd please claim his debt.

- But what is the relationship with me?

If he wants his money back, what do you want me to do about it?

- It is not that simple.

- He's in love with my niece.

- I can't blame him.

- He thought his offer would be irresistible.

- And the luck of being able to reach his rival,

and make him poor and landless is equally captivating.

- I see.

So I have to visit Sir Louis.

- I don't believe there is much to gain from it.

- Why, doctor? You said yourself that he is in love with Mary.

If there is someone incapable to understand that, it's me.

- If you insist, I will accompany you.

But I do not share your optimism.

- I heard that Frank and Mary were finally getting married.

- That's what Frank said. He looks pretty determined.

- Did Lady Arabella begin to accept the situation?

- No.

- She'll get used to it eventually.

- You don't know my mother!

- She can no longer hope to dissuade them. They won't change their minds now.

- She will hope until what they come out of the church.

- Is there no one who can convince Lady Arabella?

- Mr. Gresham, perhaps.

- Dad is the last man who can convince her.

- Mr. Gatsby has a gift with mom.

- Really ?

- Yes, Mr Gatsby is surprising, he knows how to deal with it,

he has a lot of tact.

- Then everything is fine in the best of worlds!

- The Countess of Courcy and Lady Arabella Gresham.

- Is your uncle out, my child?

- He sent a message, he left for Boxall Hill.

- It's not so bad since it's to you that we wish to speak.

You know how much we are attached to you.

Mary, can't we put an end to this annoyance?

It only depends on one thing, you know it !

- Miss Thorne,

do you consider that you are engaged to my nephew?

- Yes I am.

- Let me ask you a question.

Do you seriously imagine that you could both to be husband and wife one day?

- Yes.

- So you have decided to take that poor Frank casually,

and turn them into rings of steel.

This family is gonna have to lose his residence and his rank,

and Frank will have to give up the future for which he was brought up and who smiled at him.

I guess you dare to call that of love of course.

- We both know that Frank believes he is honour-bound,

to draw a line under its future.

Only you can give back the life he was promised,

renouncing the engagement.

You know that's right.

- Can a woman who prevents a man from destroying himself is the one he truly loves?

Where is she who clings to him, whatever the price to pay?

- How dare you come here uninvited?

I invited them.

It's always a great pleasure to get them both.

- It's my fault. I wanted to come.

- For what ?

- Because I can't bear be the cause of the ruin of my family.

- You are not the cause. Your father's debts are the cause!

- You wouldn't take action so harsh on him if I...

- Say it!

- Master Frank, just try to...

- Say it!

- He thinks your decision can come from the fact that he is going to marry my niece.

- Why shouldn't he marry her?

Or any other girl who not afraid to live with a beggar.

- I do not see why we should argue.

- You do not see ? When she chooses the void you offer it,

instead of abundance which I spread under his feet.

- Miss Thorne appreciated the attention you gave him.

- Silence !

- You, the abnormal woman,

who preferred this kind of cub to your own son!

- Louis, it's not true! How dare you ?

- And you, Doctor Thorne,

who were so anxious to guide me,

but who couldn't help laughing when I revealed my project to him.

- I didn't sneer.

I thought you weren't going not suit each other.

- To take the niece of a simple country doctor,

and make it the equal of anyone what a county lady. Not suitable?

- I'm sure Mary was very aware of the honor you accord him.

But she and I we grew up together.

We have known each other since that we are children.

- You do not know me.

None of you, no Gresham or Thorne cannot claim to be a friend of Louis Scatcherd.

- Sir Louis, please.

No man on earth can understand better than me,

the pain you are experiencing.

- No ! No pity !

I forbid it. I won't leave you don't pity me.

That, out of the question!

-Joe! prepare my horse - Immediately Sir.

- You are in no condition to walk. let alone ride a horse.

- I told you not to get involved.

Look what you make me do!

- My Louis!

- I will find her to have an appropriate answer!

- Mother and aunt de Courcy are back,

but they are always dumb.

- I still don't understand why we were summoned.

I thought the question between Frank and Mary was settled.

I cannot answer you. My mother remained mysterious.

- It doesn't matter, we'll find out soon enough.

- As much as I tell you.

- Mr. Gatsby proposed to me!

- You say ?

- He came to see me last night, shortly before dinner.

He confessed to me that he felt a love of the most warm, the deepest admiration,

and the greatest respect.

- Do you see that. What luck !

- He was completely sincere.

He told me he wanted to get closer from a family superior to his rank,

in order to progress on the professional plan.

He wants to enter parliament.

- I didn't realize that this gentleman was looking for a woman.

I was never really there thought so far.

- I think we could be happy.

And if he ever enters Parliament, I already imagine all the things,

what i could do, interesting things.

Things of interest.

We could have a wonderful life.

- I do not doubt for one second.

However, I would never have believed,

than the wife of a convicted politician to look at her husband,

climb the steepest slope could be so envious.

- So you're not for?

- Augusta, think about it.

Do you honestly believe that my father accept a property broker as a nephew?

- Your father has always been very nice to me.

And he adores you but there are limits for someone accustomed to court etiquette.

- You mean because Mr Gatsby work for a living?

- You say he's an honorable man and there is no doubt about it.

But just like Mr. Skrags, the butcher,

or the man who cleans the billiard room.

Clearly, they are not dishonorable.

Is it as long as they have their place in important dinners?

- So I have to refuse his hand.

Dear, I disagreed with Monsieur Moffat, but he at least,

had a great fortune. And there, what about it?

I know what I must do.

Thank you Alexandra.

- Take a horse, ride to my home,

and tell what happened.

I'll take his mother home and send him to Greshamsbury.

- Do you think she will leave his son?

- He will no longer be his son, but just a shadow of what he once was.

- There is no hope ?

- No, not the least.

His lung punctured in the fall.

His struggle will soon be over.

- A sad end to end a sad life.

I wonder if he was wrong and if I did not fail in my duty to him.

- You did your best.

Sir Louis had suffered irreparable damage long before you took care of it.

- Even so, I should have done more. I could have done more.

- Doctor, come quickly!

- Go for it ! Tell Mary everything.

- Doctor Thorne!

- Rest, I beg you!

- Would you do something for me?

- I will do whatever you ask me to do.

- Just one thing.

Please, tell Miss Thorne,

I hope I didn't offend him.

She took me for a jester.

- I can assure you not. - Yes, I know.

But tell him that I didn't mean at all be offensive.

If I misjudged, it wasn't deliberate.

- Don't talk any more, please.

Keep your strength.

- To do what ?

Doctor Thorne?

To do what ?

- Mary will prepare your room quickly.

- As you should be proud of her, doctor.

- I am, Lady Scatcherd.

Before you go up, I would like to take advantage of this moment,

to talk to you about something which could be painful.

- I'm in so much pain, you know. So a little more, a little less.

I won't see the difference.

- Alright. In this case, I...

I hope you will forgive me.

But do you know the next heir of Sir Roger's fortune?

- No. My husband never told me about it.

- Did you know that his sister Anne had a daughter before leaving England?

- Yes, I knew that, of course.

She asked me to take care of it,

but that was before i came take care of Frank,

and I have difficulty giving to eat my little Louis.

- Do you know what happened to the baby?

- He is dead.

- That's what Anna told Sir Roger.

- How did you get this shawl?

I knitted it.

I had given this medal to her child to bring him luck.

- I, Anne Scatcherd,

entrust my little daughter Mary, to the good care of his late father's brother,

Dr. Thomas Thorne of Greshamsbury.

- So it's...

- Me. Yes.

I am the person who gave a roof over this child.

Sir Roger's heiress and of your son is Mary Thorne.

- Mary!

Did Sir Roger know that?

- Indeed, he knew that she was his niece. He gave her his blessing.

- So I think I can to handle the pain.

- Jeannette, where is my uncle?

- You are welcome, let's say nothing for now.

- Lady Scatcherd,

I am so happy to welcome you to our home.

Your room is ready. If you want to rest,

Jeanette will accompany you. I'll come upstairs to say goodnight.

- Thank you my child.

Thank you so much !

- If you would like to follow me.

Was it really awful?

- Yes, it was pitiful, even more than you can imagine.

- I don't blame him at all. May he rest in peace.

Now we have to help his mother as best as possible.

My uncle...

I had two visitors during your absence.

Lady Arabella Gresham and Lady de Courcy.

- The Comtesse de Courcy with us? God's goodness !

- I'm going to break up with Frank, uncle.

- Pardon ?

- Please don't argue.

I realized that I was selfish to want to cling to him.

- My dear.

Lady Arabella and Lady de Courcy are two species of old hags,

who are full of snobbery and selfishness.

- It may be right, but it's not. why everything she said is wrong.

- When are you going to teach him?

- I spoke to him this afternoon,

when you sent it with the bad news.

- How did he react?

- He refuses to accept it.

But it will pass.

And he will be free to go about his duty.

- I doubt that.

- I won't change anything.

- I think that if.

We'll talk about it all tomorrow with a clear head.

- So Sir Louis is no longer of this world and we set off again.

But I pity him.

- That's not the only reason of my coming here this morning.

Lady Arabella and her sister-in-law came to see Mary yesterday during the day.

- Lord !

- Before delivering the background of their conversation,

- I'm afraid it's not hard to guess.

- But can you answer this question ?

Why do you actually oppose to the union of Frank and Mary?

- Very simple. What would these lovebirds live on?

- If we put this difficulty aside, you would not refuse your consent,

because of Mary's background?

- I don't think I have a say in refuse any consent.

But if I was asked, then no.

- You did not object to Miss Dunstable, after all.

- I am not one of those who claim that a fortune,

does not wash away many sins.

- Dear Sir, I am happy to tell you,

than the sins of my niece are pretty well washed.

- You say ?

- I'm saying that the 100,000 pounds that you must belong to Mary Thorne.

just like home of Boxall Hill and many,

many other goods as well.

I would say that his fortune,

would amount to half a million pounds.

- What are you saying ? I'm afraid I don't quite understand.

Mary, your niece would be in possession of the fortune of this Roger Scatcherd?

- She is, indeed.

His mother was Roger Scatcherd's sister.

- You must tell Lady Arabella.

Tell her I'm sending you to cure her and then tell him the news.

- Excellent idea.

- What does this surprise mean to me?

- Sir asked me to come see how you were doing.

- Don't bother.

I'm sure you have far more pressing concerns.

- Lady Arabella is extremely tired.

- I spoke to Mary before I moved.

- Do you see that!

- She took your advice and she broke up with Frank.

- She did that, really?

In that case, Doctor Thorne, he is no longer necessary to quarrel.

Thank you for this news. Thank you so much.

- What a reasonable girl! You can be proud of her, doctor.

- I confess that I am sad that this marriage does not take place.

- May be fine, but the common sense of your niece helped him make the right decision.

- No, I'm sad because,

I wish Greshamsbury can be saved.

- I don't understand. What do you mean ?

- I would have liked...

See his head!

- To me ? - Yours.

Anne Scatcherd was your mother.

You are Sir Roger's niece and Sir Louis' first cousin.

- You mean that Boxall Hill is mine?

- Boxall Hill and Greshamsbury and many more goods.

Many others.

- Does Frank know?

- I told Gresham and Lady Arabella, so he must know by now.

- A horse-drawn carriage has just arrived, doctor.

- They are faster than I thought.

I guess Lady Arabella is in a hurry to fix his mistakes.

- How should I face him? - You don't have to take it.

- Yes, I want it!

- You're really nice.

- Mary. Very dear Mary.

- How are you Lady Arabella?

- My beautiful daughter, my child, Frank's future wife,

can you forgive my anxiety about my son?

-Lady Arabella...

- I know what you think. You judge me for having fought,

like a tigress to protect my little ones but wouldn't you have done the same?

- Highly possible.

- Should I tear off my clothes and throw myself your feet to show you all my remorse?

- Mom, if you stop your a flood of words for a moment,

I think Mary has the right to say a word on the subject.

- Quiet, my dear. Frank is absolutely right.

Mary, we got extremely bad behaved with you in the past,

and there is no reason you claim otherwise.

- It's all over now.

I would never criticize a mother who loves her son,

but i hope you wouldn't criticize me not to like him either.

Of course, now that we are no longer engaged.

- Pardon ?

- Yes, we broke them as soon as that you begged me to do.

- That was long before Frank. Let's see, what are you thinking?

I ordered you to marry this lovely lady.

- You ordered me to marry Mary, mother?

- Yes, that's what I would have done if the circumstances had been different.

Which is the case now.

Quiet, Arabella! You get away with it.

If you don't mind, let Mary and Frank arrange these things between them.

- I'll walk you home.

- I wish I understood. Will they get married or not?

- Then go follow you your mother's orders?

- Very gladly, if you allow me.

- I intended to disappear to help you forget me.

- It would never have worked.

I would have chased you till the end of the world.

But I wouldn't have to.

- No.

Now you don't have to.

- It was a magnificent wedding feast, Lady Arabella.

- We wanted to do things in large so that it is,

the most beautiful of days.

- It's very successful.

- Mary is really beautiful.

A lovely mix of youth and beauty!

- Thank you so much !

- Frank, we hope to see you both at the Château des Courcy,

when you return from your honeymoon.

- With great pleasure, uncle.

- And they will also have a wedding to celebrate.

- Who's getting married? You Porlock?

- No, Alexandrina.

She is going to marry Mr Gatsby in December.

- You could have been on the groom's arm.

I hope you don't regret your decision.

- Not at all Doctor Thorne, I am very happy where I am.

- When are you going back to America?

- You might think I should stop my husband hunt?

- Is it a traditional hunt or a lure hunt?

- What do you mean ?

- With you as a decoy,

I feel a lot of excitement for hunting, but otherwise,

I do not see the interest from the final butcher.

- I see you prefer to catch your prey, is that it?

- I prefer an appropriate outcome, Miss Dunstable.

I hope you don't mind.

On the contrary, Doctor Thorne,

This position is to your advantage.

- That's a happy ending for you Doctor.

Many happy endings as you like them.

- It's an ending that I like.

- How about we do, us too, a lap?

- I would be absolutely delighted, Doctor Thorne.
