then I never took risks with your Uncle

Arthur when he was your age and I had

him up

before sit around frightens you does

he

here you shouldn't let the Wy devil know

it the trick is to make him afraid of

you there were 200 million of the black

scandals in the

subcontinent and all of them frightened

of

30,000 British

soldiers come to that those Ruffians

were terrify Lucifer

himself they can swear

remember and you're right of course a

[ __ ] the old boy brought back from

India how are you momk very well thank

you mom you look disgustingly

healthy you're a little short of course

and undeniably

plain but you have spirit I

hope I need a son with spirit I was just

telling the boy he is something like

Father perhaps about the math perhaps

maybe take

te your father told you nothing about

the inheritance I presume no Mom nothing

about The Wretched legal battle I've

been fighting for 6 years no Mom don't

address me as if I were the queen or you

a boot boy you call me mam you can do

that I suppose yes ma yes M since he

told you nothing I'm surprised he sent

you your letter did Pitch it a bit

strong m m going on about Justice and

honor don't you know Lawrence doesn't

understand what the words mean Les one's

talking about the 100 Years War he must

have told you about pen marrick no mama

of course he did are you being

perversely stupid does nobody Speak Of

Me a G

kellish well Nanny says I've got your

temper I'm glad to hear it makes you

more of a penar like me less of a

castala like your father Robert would

you say he resembles the portrait the

baker portrait I mean in the drawing

room at pen

marrick looks quite the gentleman

doesn't he cocky upstart my father just

the same but a cunning devil at the card

table and no faster man at the ribbons

of a foreign hand the out race the

prince region himself one pen Mar estate

on the

wager a damn fool burst the lungs of two

horses doing it though you had to Pistol

them at the door of the Brighton

Pavilion do you know

days to create the world he spent the

sixth day making the

horse come down to the Stables with me

were I suppose I could take it to the

House of Lords if necessary a long way

to that yet M but I can if I must of

course you can but then so could he

don't you know I saw the painting has no

one taught you not to interrupt but he

showed it to me and his horse that day

he broke his back well I'm

dashed wasn't his back old chap not as

bad as that even sot you see Lawrence

has talked to the about pen marrick now

do you think I was wrong to send for him

so long as you don't confuse the land M

he's old enough to understand his

inheritance and that honor and Justice

must be served I doubt it don't be

tedious Robert of course they must I

meant I doubt that he is old enough Mark

do you understand what is meant by Honor

and Justice I think so

your father's romantic Notions you'll

enough damn good of you to come damn

good was the least I could do sir in

such a

time but I confess there's another

reason um may I ask a favor sir favor

what favor well it was always my

mother's wish so and now she believes it

would be a proper demonstration of our

feelings if the hope that you'd agree

sir I never could agree with much that

woman believes no no no no no that's

cherish of Me no no what favor for your

permission

sir and yours

cousin to take the name of penar instead

of Baker as my great uncle your father

did you young devil you're an

adventurer if I am sir then I think

you'll agree I'm only following your

father's good example H well said and

agreed my hand on it

I didn't think last night was possible

all things are possible if you want them

enough I want you and Pen Merck so do

you of course I wish it would make it

sound as if for a couple of prly

Tradesman child if we want each other so

much is it wrong to be honest about the

other things we want all the same he

hasn't said you know he intends to make

you his air I suppose I do my M did say

I could count on it after all there's no

one else is there no

one

John tell him we want to be married

there's nothing he can do about it

we've been waiting for you GES you know

this young Villa don't you how are you

Castell good afternoon M what are you

doing here Lawrence damn it what kind of

a greeting is that just when I've agreed

he may Marry You Marry Me Marry You Yes

Mar you don't say it like that or you'll

hurt the poor fellow's feelings M I know

that

John I say I do congratulate

you and I'm most frightfully pleased for

you

m you're

please well castal a First Rate trap

everybody says that

10 months married and you want an

analment no sir but M does and you'd let

her go if that's her wish without making

a fight of it you mean what would I win

Mr penmar you're as cold as a dead

sto I'll go ahead damned if I care she

won't apply for an analment without your

approval why the devil shouldn't she she

wishes to marry her cousin Giles does

she by

God I believe it would distress her if

such a marriage prejudiced any

expectations he may have from your

estate I'm an unreasonable man is that

it pragmatic I think and naturally

concerned that the penmar inheritance

should continue in the male line you

reason like a damn

Jesuit you know she married you because

I told her she'd not get a penny if she

didn't and she's bed to her cousin Giles

more than once since then damn it castac

what are you made of I'm as vulnerable

as most men Mr she'll leave you

eventually as soon as I'm dead I'll wag

her perhaps then take a crop to her and

save the heartache I'll do it myself if

you give me leave I think you may change

her mind more effectively and less

violently are you laughing at me castac

oh if it appears so I apologize Devil

with your

apologies how

effectively by telling her as I may not

that you have excited her cousin's

interest in the Miss trone of lawston

the AIS you mean I believe she

is my

God you are a

Jesuit I told you you not get up I W

take what you

[Music]

my love forgive

me I want a son

[Music]

you sent your boy to see me like this

damn

you no one should have to remember a man

like this he's your grandson dying like

a beast in a trap dear God why didn't

the M kill me when she fell I must have

pen marrick so it may go to him there's

no one else a troney girl weled a boy

for cousin Giles Mark is your grandson I

believe it nothing else you'd say is

bloody why should I believe that

infernal Tera diddle because it's true

truth's a word stays A word without

proof ask Giles truth or lie he deny it

he wants been mer as badly as you do

you're dying why should I lie to

you in my experience a death chamber

breeds

lies they're usually more considerate

though

father you always did take your fences

like a damn plow boy go

away let me die in

peace and then you clear out to the

black

devil God knows what they'll do with you

when I'm gone

and their

souls leave pen marrick to Giles if you

must but it must go to me or Mark when

he

dies father CLE

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Mark what a pleasant surprise I thought

you were in

[Music]

London well now

come and sit down I'll ask Mrs Manet to

bring us some

tea it seems strange to see you in such

humble surroundings sir I had no idea

your property here was so modest are you

not anxious to get back to Gillis I can

understand your surprise that the change

of scenery seems to have helped my

writing I've become fascinated by the

views across the Moors the minds are

ugly of course there's a kind of auster

beauty about it

all and historically this is the most

interesting area

there's an ancient Hill fort on the

ridge above the house it's at least

2,000 years old I think shun Castle

after the Cornish chaien W house in the

down and nearby there's a kite of the

same

name of course if you want to stay in

Cornwall for a time I'll open up we

killis for you naturally oh

no I'd prefer to stay with you here for

a while if I may sir

I was considering King

John I think John's an excellent choice

a reassessment is long

overdue I never thought to ask you mark

what brought you to cormell in the first

place I thought you were sampling London

Society after the rigors of your final

examinations I came down to visit pen

marrick with my

mother Giles penmar asked to see

me but now that his only son is dead

he's decided to make me his

air pen marrick will be mine when he

dies I

see let me show you the postcard that

I'll refuse it if you

prefer your wishes mean much more to me

than

mothers

no if if your mother's quarrel with

Giles penar is finally ended I suppose I

should be glad for her sake and for

yours and Pen marck will make a fine

inheritance for you one

day and it does make a a certain

decision easier for me too I'm sure it's

always seemed to you as it has to me

that the lot of the younger son is a

hard one and now that you've been so

well provided for I need have no quarms

about leaving we kill this man at an

Nigel you can't do

that Qui killis is mine

how dare you leave to Nigel you've

always favored Nigel over me you always

loved him better I always G him my thing

that's not true don't you understand I

don't care about P

Mar I'm

but of course I should have realized who

you were your father's mentioned you

often I see him every

Sunday I had no idea father was a a

regular church girl

your sermons must be very unstimulating

Mr Barnwell well I hardly think they can

be the cause well perhaps we shall see

you as well next Sunday good afternoon

Mr castall good

afternoon excuse me excuse me I saw a I

I saw a a woman a lady in the

churchyard who yes that to be Mrs

Roslin Mrs

Roslin yes of Roslin Farm she was the

second wife of John Henry Roslin he died

last

May of course there were a good few

years between them I

see well Mr cell I must detain

you perhaps he will take luncheon with

us on Sunday after the service yes that

would be uh most kind no quite the

reverse a rare treat for us we're very

isolated here I'm afraid scarcely see a

new friend from one year's end to the

next I shall anticipate it with pleasure

sir good afternoon Mr

Castell good afternoon thank you Mr bun

[Music]

papa

papa I should like to

apologize my behavior was quite in in

excusable I can't understand what made

me speak to you like that your visit to

pen marck must have upset you let's say

no more about it of course Nigel shall

have gillus if I'm to have pen marck

that's only fair I see that now I wish

I'd never said those

things will you forgive me of

course Papa Would it inconvenience you

if I stayed on here for a while

I'd like to make a start on my thesis

and well you said yourself the

atmosphere was conducive to writing stay

as long as you wish I prefer to work in

the mornings of course and two or three

afternoons a week I like to take

solitary walks along the cliffs but

that'll leave us plenty of time to be

together the the countryside is indeed

very interesting I I walked over to

zillan this

afternoon I was wondering did you happen

to know any of the parishioners there

nobody I would know lives there apart

from Barnwell the reor of course he's a

good man in his way I was wonder if you

happen to know anything about Mrs Roslin

a young woman of about 30 or less I saw

her this afternoon and the um the recor

was speaking of her I might know her by

S

side surely a woman of perhaps 30 or

less would seem old to a boy of your age

oh I was merely struck by her good looks

no I realized that you've reached the

age when the opposite sex seems

attractive to you there's no need to

look embarrassed I've been very pleased

at the way that you've conducted

yourself in this respect both at Oxford

and before this and I understand that

you should be interested in a young and

beautiful Widow such as Mrs Roslin

Roslin there really is no way in which

you may honorably know her

[Music]

[Music]

was an ill day for us when father

brought

you your father when he beg got you find

Sons you were to him you've only

yourself to blame you didn't a at this

farm when he died CU you was to blame

you [ __ ] if for you just now hold your

tongue now you listen to me Jan

keep this place going and to be blunt I

don't

care but this place is Mine by rights

and I'm going to have it now I've made

you a good offer and good coin and you

can take it or leave it but if you won't

let me have this place in a proper legal

way I swear I'll drive you out by every

means I know of and you'll be sorry the

day ever dawned when you crossed Jared

Roslin you'd best be careful Mr Roslin

extortion is a criminal offense I'm sure

you wouldn't wish to spend the next few

years in prison and who the hell are you

sir I don't know you nor do I wish to

then why don't you get out before you

get hurt because I'm not in the habit of

taking advice from the sort of L who

goes about threatening women however

perhaps you should know that I am the

cousin of Giles penmar and heir to his

estate

unless you wish to find yourself in

trouble of the most serious kind I

suggest you get off Mrs rosin's property

If Ever I hear you have troubled her

again than by Goda you'll be sorry the

day ever dawned when you failed to take

my advice it's unir damn

way I should try not to do so

again Ace to your queen

Castell I fancy Mr Vincent has the five

of Trumps

and Dam be he has well best drink up and

pay up Harry lawyer and a scholar

together are too much for plain fellows

like us we've been playing with a pair

of Sharps steady

Harry you're a damn true player castanic

simply being blessed with a good memory

I hope you have a long

one I think I have well well whatever it

is been too much for us what's the

damage

Von 44 gine ooh is it now expensive

lesson but worth every penny a Harry

you'll take my note gastack of course

and then we'll raise the

stakes what do you suggest 50 gine a

point I'm afraid my allowance won't

stretched to those Stakes your

allowance my God you've got some face

you've got my inheritance play with that

no Harry all good friends

here now we've had two good rubbers and

we'll call it a day what do you say I'd

be quite willing to play for those

Stakes at a later date I don't think we

ought to embarrass Mr Vincent he can

hardly be expected to go so steep then

he should play for pennies with his

fellow clerks and stay away from

gentlemen's houses damn it he's been

sniffing around pen marck three times a

week following my sister around if she

were a [ __ ] on heat how do you go too

far you become

tedious I think you should apologize now

discuss with Mrs Roslin I know your sort

of business and she won't have none of

it so get along with me kindly tell your

exaggerate do you think the weather will

change soon we've really been very lucky

with the last I've come to ask if you

will dine with me one evening in penans

that's very kind of you but uh I must

refuse I have no suitable gwn for such

an occasion oh good lord if that's all

it is I could buy you one I think you're

forgetting yourself I'm a respectable

woman Mr castall any more intimate

association with you could have no

respectable

end I've never doubted your

respectability young gentleman of your

breeding and class usually pursue a

woman of lower rank for one purpose and

one purpose only but I merely wish to

show that I admired you by inviting you

to dine with me what would have been

your next invitation you have

miscalculated I'm not a woman of that

kind and even if I were I would hardly

commit myself to a boy scarce out of his

teens I

see

[ __ ] [ __ ]

[ __ ] Jen Jen I want

her and I will have

[Music]

her oh love me

[Music]

thank

you your brother oh no I'm the

[Music]

nursaid that I'm sure cannot be true

your in the least like any nursaid I've

seen I forgive me I they won't appear to

be rude the name is um

cellic Mark calik Rose Parish how do you

do how do you do but I am a

nursaid well I suppose I shall have to

believe

you may I carry your

basket thank

you but how does James come to be in

this singularly fortunate

position well you see when father died

he was a doctor you know it seemed there

was much less money than anybody thought

in fact we were practically penniless

and I was obliged to earn my own living

well this becomes a dreadful shot oh it

did and at first the idea was that I

should be a governor but I'm afraid I'm

not very clever my head spins when I

begin to think of oh anything like

square roots or the dates of the Kings

of England that's quite as it should be

women were never meant to spend their

time in

schools but you

see I love

children and they love you I'm sure and

now what are you doing this is a lady

not a five Shilling woman say goodbye

and leave and Mr and Mrs TR are very

kind and even introduce me to their

friends not the sad do of course I

wouldn't expect that I really think I

have a lot to be thankful

for

Rose will you be here

tomorrow well yes could you take tea

with me

H only afternoon

tea the most harmless occasion there

could be a treat for her a diversion for

me you can't imagine what a change this

has been for me

Mark Mr and Mrs TR have been so kind but

since my parents died it seemed that

that nobody's taken an interest in me

for myself until you does that sound

very silly of course it doesn't

what do you say we meet again

tomorrow on the beach

H you really want

to you know I do

[Music]

[Music]

yay it

[Music]

are little

house isn't it warm isn't it cozy no

winds no

drafts oh please I must be able to see

James if anything should happen to him

look he's forgotten All About Us Happ is

a sand

boy well he is a sand boy yes

oh

Rose please please mark

no I'm

sorry you're quite right behave very

badly we both know I should be leaving

some dive

soon our friendship ship there could be

no future in it it would be wrong of me

to pretend

otherwise

no no please of course no you mustn't I

won't do anything

then let me

just no no you

mustn't I won't hurt

you I promise

I didn't mean to oh Mark what a lower

opinion you must have of

me if Mrs Tre were to find

out have you have you lost all respect

for me now of course I haven't I mean

you're even dearer to me

now if anyone's to blame it's

me you mustn't blame

yourself I knew right from the beginning

that I would fall in love with you

Rosa I can't offer you anything but you

can you

have hardly expect you to be happy with

meetings in a

tent I don't mind I think it's

romantic will you meet me again

tomorrow here like this

yes yes I

will so you see I shall have to go back

to my father

now it's all right I knew you'd have to

go soon I didn't think you'd stay so

long I feel so badly about it you

mustn't really you mustn't I understand

the damnable fact is I've used up all my

allowance I can't afford to stand and I

was another day please mark please don't

make excuses it's true I can't expect

another Penny until the end of

September I'll return then I

promise you do believe me don't

you you don't have

to No but

I'll try and I will write to you of

[Music]

course come down

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

visit us with thy

salvation enter every

trembling heart

aha bad luck Mark by God I thought you

were going to make it to you chanced

your arm there didn't you looks as

though I

did I'm sorry Michael I played

dambly come along then Vincent let's

hear

it 60

G you'll take my note

Justin ah

tea and muffins too you spoil us Mrs

manik you spoil us and ruin our

characters I think it went remarkably

well

today

delicious you know what I think I'd like

most tonight is to beat my son at chess

would you care for that

Mark it's all right I'll take care of

you

Rose best leave all the arrangements to

me I'll concoct a letter you on my

mother's writing paper and pretend that

she's offering you a post in

London we'll have to find some rooms of

course I thought pens an would be

best I'll have to buy your wedding ring

too I thought simply Mrs Paris a young

Widow no reason for anyone to guess the

truth I'll pay for the doctor and

midwife and all the other expenses of

course and then after it's all over you

can have the baby adopted there must be

plenty of wealthy couples who'd leap at

the chance no I won't give my baby away

I won't ask you for help after he's born

but I won't give him

away T see how I can look after you I

said I won't ask you for

help of course I must help you aren't

you being a bit selfish what sort of a

start in life could you hope to give him

I'm his own mother and I love him you're

the one who's being selfish I'm simply

trying to act in a re reasonable and a

responsible

way if you keep the child you may never

get married if I can't marry you I don't

want to marry

anyone

R I can't marry you yes you've explained

you have no

money but perhaps late it isn't simply

that you see my affections

WR there there's another

woman I don't know how to explain I

don't want to hear if there was someone

else why did you pay attention to me at

all that

week I

know it was wrong with

me you never cared even

then I shouldn't have let you but I

loved you so much I didn't know what was

happening to us and knew you

just how foolish you must think me

foolish ignorant and

contemptible Rose it isn't your

fault the fault's mine

entirely why you should think of

marrying someone who's treated you so

shamefully because I love

you I still love

you those few days we spent together

were the most wonderful days of my whole

life in a

[Laughter]

tent well you pen Mars are a fast crowd

I must say not to pay off one of Harry's

Mistresses the other day don't you

brecket me with him I'm a Castell not a

penmark I beg your pardon come to that

what business have you to gossip about

your clients you're quite right of

course they're hardly in a position to

moral Li I would have thought oh I see I

suppose you've uh had no trouble with

women yourself if you mean Clarissa

Penman the position is quite different

as you know if she'd have me I'd marry

her tomorrow I thought she'd give

herself to any man who offered his

Services I she

even you make yourself a laughing stock

over her Mark I know you're in

difficulties but there's no need to take

it out on

me what are you going to do when your

father finds

out he won't find out hm

you won't find out because you're the

only person I've told and the only

person I'm going to

tell and where are we going to find the

money

good morning cousin

Mark good morning Mr penmar oh you might

as well call me Clarissa I think we've

been enemies for too long don't you I

never wish to be the enemy of anyone in

this house if I remember correctly the

choice was yours not mine that we were

children then weren't we and now we've

grown up I don't see why that should

make you feel any differently towards me

well perhaps you V little rector's

daughter to thank for that sly little

Fortune Hunter she taken poor wild Harry

away and I doubt if Papa let him come

back for

years and I should be terribly lonely

you're far too modest miss penmar you

have only to whistle and Michael Vincent

will come trotting around little Michael

Vincent now he's told me some

fascinating things about you it seems

that you're not nearly so Pie as you

look I'm intrigued Mark I'm always

intrigued by gentleman with a romantic

reputation

well Vincent's been too

generous as you once said yourself I

hardly have the looks to make any

Headway in that field who cares about

looks once the curtains are drawn in the

candles out oh don't look so shocked I

know what goes on in the

world would you like a tour of the

house no thank you well I really think

you'll find me more entertaining than a

a little nursaid wasn't but there's

something so terribly dreary about the

middle classes don't you think oh now

you're angry because I know about your

miserable little doctor's daughter if

you dare say one more word about a woman

who is a thousand times more a lady than

you will ever be ladylike mistress how

boring you bastard get out of here or

you'll be sorry you ever

came very well I'll summon the footman

and have you thrown out my God you could

treat me like you treat that fool

Vincent no woman DET take to

me wouldn't go to bed with you if you

Pig Mr Giles

[Applause]

PMA

so you came

back I wondered if you would

yes sir you heard about Harry of course

that wasn't the reason why I Harry's

portion to Clarissa's perhaps it would

induce some young man to marry her for

her money and I Fancy no man would marry

her for her

reputation I am sorry to disappoint you

I assure you that's not the reason why I

came you can't play bilard I

suppose well I'm sure Medlin could be

persuaded to give you 100

up well you better to tell

me how much do you

want if you you could treat the some as

a portion sir not as a gift naturally I

would how much £500 sir and for what

purpose why no

no I am ordered to avoid all

excitement

500 well the price of pleasure has

increased since my

day now tell me why don't you ask your

father for it

because he couldn't be asked to treat

the Su as a portion sir but he gives me

my allowance but he intends to leave his

estate to my brother Nigel oh does he

indeed it's only fair sir since I'm to

have pen mer disinherit the Elder son

most

eccentric unless of course castal

believes he has only one

son

wait you shall have your

money you mustn't begrudge me a little

fun yes well that seems very

satisfactory now I'm particularly

anxious that Mrs Parish should not be

overstrained in any way oh no sir I'll

see my own daughter looks after all the

cooking and shopping you needn't worry

yourself sir yes good good the poor lady

was it very s sir what oh yes an

accident he experimenting with a horse's

carriage in Paris that's a brilliant man

brilliant any 25 I have never had a

single word of good about one of them

tragical yes now you just set your mind

at rest about your cousin sir she

couldn't be better cared for anywhere

than she would be here and of course

you'll be welcome more than welcome sir

to come and visit her here just as as

you

like would you be so kind as to read

this letter

I think I'm beginning to make a start

with my thesis

now what does Clarissa want to write to

you for read

it Dear Mr Castell you might be

interested to know that your son was

here today to beg for money or so my

father told me it seems cousin Mark

wishes to keep woman in penants a

doctor's daughter is it

true is it true

Mark

no but you did go to Gil surely yes and

you borrowed money from Giles yes for

what purpose because I needed

it why did you not come to

me cuz I didn't want you to know about

the

woman it's no woman Clarissa is making

it

up so this doctor's daughter does not

exist I'm afraid I don't believe

you I think perhaps you'd better tell me

about it

there was

no no need for you to

know I've made all the

arrangements I've arranged so that when

she has the baby she

can you tell me she's expecting a

child you have of course offered to

marry her no

she doesn't expect me to

so you used her for a few days ruined

her and bought her off with penar money

and you went to Giles you did not come

to me that was only because only because

you had not the courage to confess to

such dishonorable

Behavior I

have tried to bring you up as an

honorable

man and I have

failed all I

want is to be like you

sir there's nothing of me in you nothing

at

all I suppose I've always known that

you're like your

mother you're a penar

in a crisis you turn to

Giles of course that would be only

natural I'm not like

him I'm like

you you must believe that

what do we want here with us who is it

Gela it's young Mr Mark well let him in

oh really Gisela do we have to be so

inhospitable

good evening Mr cellic good evening this

days far too I am mighty to take humble

work set your cap at my husband would

you miss don't you dare Bandy words with

me in spite of your Youth and lack of

Education I made do my daughter's

personal maid and this is how you repay

me I thought Pride was supposed to come

a for a fall but you're like your mother

the way you give yourself airs what's

wrong with a shop or one of the new

hotels it's a waste of my training and

experience you were engaged as my

housekeeper Jan but sir I'm afraid our

later understanding enjoyable as it has

been I hasten to add not include your

getting pregnant

come on now I so

manage

again never

well why don't you ride over to Roslin

with me on your next free afternoon how

do I know I'd end up at Roslin and

nothing and some a stack along the way

how' you know you'd mind if you did

no man lays one finger on me till I'm

wearing his wedding

ring so this is what makes you take the

long journey to St I so often Jared

Roslin much good it does me I can't say

I blame you she's pretty as a

picture treat yourself to a small glass

of pork my dear or whatever you young

ladies drink nowadays and my son can buy

me a pint of

bitter why thank you sir

of course you'd be Mrs Roslin there'd be

no nonsense about that part of

it I'm a little overwhelmed of

course your son Jared never mind about

Jared he could have had you but he let

his chance slip by I've told him often

enough that he'd regret it if he went on

expecting every woman he fancied to

forget all thoughts of wedding

rings this will teach him a lesson

but I expect you want to see what it is

you'd be taken

on there you are my dear well what' you

say your first

wife yes isn't it a little

soon she was a good woman and I miss her

but nothing's going to bring her back

besides isn't it a tribute to her that I

hate to live without the woman in the

house now she's gone I hav't thought of

it like

that

well will

you yes thank

you

good nothing could please me

more just one thing my dear don't expect

too much of me I I'm an old man and pass

my Prime I can't offer you as much as

Jared could so if you'd rather have

Jared best say so now before it's too

difference besides I thought they were

parties only hours and hours till I see

or minded so every minute I don't spend

with you could we not be married

I would be a good wife to you I would

learn to speak without an accent I

wouldn't be an embarrassment to

you I cannot marry

you I would have told you from the

beginning but I assume that you already

knew I'm not

divorced in the eyes of the law and the

eyes of the church I'm still a married

man

forgive

me if I had known that your thoughts had

turned towards marriage please

Lauren think no more about it

I I must apologize for behaving so very

foolishly your son Mark called again the

other day you worry about him too much

if he should suspect something such a

thought would never cross

mind I don't like

him I don't think he's half so innocent

as you think he is I think he my dear I

know Mark better than you

do a father necessarily knows his own

child better than any stranger can if

you were a parent yourself you'd

understand that of

all if you knew how I'd long for a child

your

child for your sake I've done all I can

to avoid getting pregnant

but to be told I don't understand

it it was thoughtless yes it

was I'm sorry sorry be

D I made a new will the other day it's a

step I've been contemplating for some

time I'm not naming you in the will

Janna to save your

embarrassment but I intend to provide

for you before I die by creating a trust

for your benefit oh please let's not

talk about you

dying you'll never have to worry about

money again I promise you

Inconvenient time but I saw you weren't

other than to offer your condolences

me I not myself this morning and I'm not

feeling well enough to receive visit W

you sit down Mrs

remaining seated while you yourself are

still standing it was a ill mannered of

me to sit in the first place without

asking your permission and I

apologize I have no wish to treat you as

though you weren't the respectable Widow

you've always claimed to

be Mr Castell please do do sit

down how's the farm well

that my father was actually worried

about you you

know his his last words were concerned

with your

welfare there's ever anything you need

arranged must have many expenses to

meet there there's nothing simp tedious

is not having enough money to do what

one needs to do is there

so don't forget if if you need any help

you have any to ask well as it happens

you need help

situation perhaps if a loan could be

arranged I could offer the house of

security oh yes that's the house

yes I'm sure something could easily be

arranged I'm sure we could arrive at a

mutually convenient

Arrangement might I see the house if I'm

to arrange alone I'd be interested

purely as a formality of course to see

the exact nature of the collateral you

wish to

offer very well

Christmas and Easter and on my husband's

birthday otherwise we always at in the

kitchen you know the kitchen of course

to you Mrs

Castell for

[Music]

you don't waste time do we still like

father like son I

suppose go to H

Chen

Chen

Shen it comes from the French Johan

my father was Breton a

fisherman yes when I was little he used

to bring me home toys from

Britany he didn't start bringing home

the Gin till

later by the time I was six he was

unemployable the time I was nine he was

dead my mother died within weeks of him

they both had a ppus

funeral grisela took care of

me I worked to get out of that hobin

knives how I worked I spent nearly 9

years at men Hari and Castle working my

way up from the scaries to the St room

and finally became one of the

housemaids and then when I was 15 I was

appointed personal Maid To Miss

Charlotte she was only a year older than

me she taught me to speak correctly she

encouraged me to read and gave me the

dresses she no longer chose to

wear that was my undoing I wore one of

them at the servants Christmas party

caught the eye of the Master of the

House way laid me in the corridor

iore I certainly can't fault his taste I

hardly blame you in the circumstances

don't be silly all I wanted was to

become housekeeper one day besides I

wouldn't have slept with sir Bertram if

he'd been the last man on earth I

thought him repulsive and older than God

however I could hardly tell lady S A do

that so I had to pack my bags and

leave I was just

18 well you said you wanted to know

me in every possible

[Music]

way too Grand to D worse is that

it nothing of the sort

short that's about the size of it if you

ask me I wasn't aware that I

add

H your employer was he

yes a lawyer a

widower age

35ish handsome not

unattractive I'm glad amusing not unkind

besides I like the job I like the house

I decided to be wrong to disappoint his

expectations a great way of putting

things I've been out of work for 6

months without a reference yes I do see

do you I doubt

it anyway I expected

nothing were you

right what was he like in

bed one did not expect Rapture under

those circumstances you really do sound

like passion slave his Liberties meant

nothing to me well you just grinned and

bore them I was grateful enough to try

and please him SP me the

details well you

asked when I got

pregnant so I packed my bags

again went back to giselda in that

disgusting

a she MI me a potion to cure my

ills what else could I

do you could have had the

child that wasn't part of our

Arrangement Lucky Old

Pomo did you want his child

not

his

mine

mine oh My

Love Now what is my duty towards

God my duty towards God is to believe in

him

to fear Him and to love

him with all my

heart with all my

strength with all my mind and with all

my

soul to worship him to give him thanks

and to put my whole trust in

him and to call upon him to honor His

holy name and his

word and to serve him truly all the days

of my

life name of the

father Son and Holy Ghost

amen I swore I would never go through

that

again no man would lay one finger on me

till I had his wedding ring so you

married old Roslin he was kind he

understood I wanted nothing else at the

time did you get

it it wasn't his 7s is wasn't it

62

well if you must know after our first

anniversary he made no attempts at

intimacy are you sorry I was fond of

him besides I grown used to being a

farmer's wife best of all I came to love

this

Farm in the summer i' open all the

windows the scent of roses would fill

the house I'd a home of my own at last I

loved it you wanted for nothing then I

thought not no one I did wonder what it

would have been like to have had a

child but so long as I had the house I

was safe I

secure

so so I thought my life Pleasant

enough I didn't realize it was passing

me by

till I was

30 but then I wasn't till I was

30 I first saw your

father I must go now

I was left with the house

but without a penny to maintain it or

myself why should your husband punish

you I imagine he thought that Jared and

I when in fact in fact I was being

punished for defying Jared what about he

was blackmailing me what

about well you was threatening to tell

my husband he wanted the house don't

prevaricate in order to get it he

threatened to tell my husband

about yes about myself and

say it damn

you myself and your

father and had you no there's no smoke

without fire we had done nothing then

Jared was mistaken oh perhaps he guessed

perhaps

gossip I had seen Lawrence I burned for

him be disgusting I wrote to him after

my husband died I didn't know who else

to heaven

Mark shut up

come I didn't know who else to turn

to after i' written I thought he won't

come but he did come I told you I don't

want to talk about it Mark it happened

it's nothing to do with no but you can't

ignore it it happened he came along and

suddenly nothing else mattered anymore

I'd waited all those years without

knowing what it was I was waiting for it

didn't matter that I was no longer young

nor was he he loved me I loved him you

are talking about my father you must

understand oh damn it there's a limit

after years of indifference I long for a

child his child then I learned that he

was still

married God

I did my best to avoid becoming pregnant

Jan but to the last I depended on him he

promised me security and the nearest

thing to love I'd ever known and then he

died when you came yes as I do know what

happened I didn't love you I didn't even

like

you I'd lost the man I loved and I felt

nothing I didn't want to feel anything

that would have betrayed Lawrence and

Lawrence was the man I loved so I went

to you wanting nothing and expecting

nothing and

suddenly all was

changed when you touched

me it was as

if no man had ever touched me

before I forgot

Lawrence forgot him as if he never

existed because never in all my life

had I

experienced had I imagined it was

possible to

experience what I experienced with

you no words ever invented could even

begin to describe

it after it was all

over I tried to hate

you

why for destroying the illusion i' lived

with and thought of as love for so

long yes I couldn't do

it the instant I thought of

you I wished myself back behind that

locked door with

you

one one cannot hate a man to whom one

would give oneself time and time

again without a second's

hesitation the past is past

why the hell do you have to inflict it

on me

then because don't you

see we can't pretend it didn't

happen we you have to come to terms with

it I don't have to do a damn thing my

dear oh God you can be childish

jealous get out of my

house I can't wait

[Music]

he didn't last long

then right you gave in too soon typical

Gentry that take what they want and move

on

oh you can crry your eyes out I doubt

that'll fetch them back

again there

now as have managed before and as shall

manage

again there then
