1
00:00:17,833 --> 00:00:19,416
Hyah, hyah!

2
00:00:24,416 --> 00:00:26,000
Hup, hup!

3
00:00:54,250 --> 00:00:56,166
Hup, hup.

4
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,333
Come on. Hyah.

5
00:01:09,458 --> 00:01:12,416
Come on, come on.

6
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,583
- Take those packages to--
- Whoa.

7
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:15,916
- Careful with those.
They're fragile.

8
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Go slow!

9
00:01:17,083 --> 00:01:19,250
- Give that to Mr. Prue.
- This way, this way.

10
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:22,166
- Hoisting it up!
- Careful, careful!

11
00:01:23,166 --> 00:01:26,875
- Okay!
- Let's go! Let's go!

12
00:01:57,041 --> 00:01:58,958
- We're gonna go back
for another load!

13
00:02:06,416 --> 00:02:08,041
Morning, Mr. Griffin.

14
00:02:08,125 --> 00:02:09,541
They're moving in
at last, then.

15
00:02:09,625 --> 00:02:13,291
- Looks like it.
- Ah, bad news, I'm afraid.

16
00:02:13,375 --> 00:02:15,750
- They're old.
They get bad news every week.

17
00:02:15,833 --> 00:02:17,166
- You're all heart.
- I got it!

18
00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:18,416
I got it!

19
00:02:38,833 --> 00:02:41,333
- Looks like another one.
- Oh, dear.

20
00:02:41,416 --> 00:02:43,541
I wonder who that is now.

21
00:02:43,625 --> 00:02:45,375
- I'll take those.
Thank you, John.

22
00:02:45,458 --> 00:02:47,916
- Why not let Miss Armstrong
carry them up?

23
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,250
Or that one at least.

24
00:02:49,333 --> 00:02:50,416
Thank you, Mrs. Bauer,

25
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:52,041
but I think I know
what I'm doing.

26
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:02,750
I'm afraid none of them

27
00:03:02,833 --> 00:03:04,916
are worth the paper
they're printed on.

28
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,875
- But surely with the railroad
spreading all over the country.

29
00:03:08,958 --> 00:03:10,833
Every day, the papers talk
of some new millionaire

30
00:03:10,916 --> 00:03:12,458
who's made his fortune
out of railways.

31
00:03:12,541 --> 00:03:14,125
- And every day,
the bankruptcy courts

32
00:03:14,208 --> 00:03:16,041
see rail companies go under,

33
00:03:16,125 --> 00:03:18,458
taking their owners
and investors down with them.

34
00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:23,041
Miss Brook, the plain fact is,

35
00:03:23,125 --> 00:03:25,083
I've looked into the estate
of the late Mr. Brook.

36
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:26,666
The late General Brook.

37
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:31,625
- The late General Brook,
and I cannot find any assets

38
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:33,666
beyond the contents
of his bank account.

39
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:34,833
And the house.

40
00:03:34,916 --> 00:03:37,125
- The house is rented,
Miss Brook.

41
00:03:37,208 --> 00:03:39,125
I'm sure that's wrong.

42
00:03:39,208 --> 00:03:41,958
No, I'm afraid not.

43
00:03:42,041 --> 00:03:43,916
- But my father always said--

44
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:52,083
I see.

45
00:03:52,166 --> 00:03:53,625
So how much is left?

46
00:03:53,708 --> 00:03:56,625
- I've paid the funeral charges
and other outstanding accounts,

47
00:03:56,708 --> 00:03:57,916
and I will waive my own fee.

48
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,958
- There's no need.
- There is every need.

49
00:04:00,041 --> 00:04:01,750
You will have
in your possession

50
00:04:01,833 --> 00:04:04,333
somewhere in the region of $30.

51
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:09,666
- You see, Mr. Raikes,
none of this

52
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,791
is what my father told me.

53
00:04:11,875 --> 00:04:12,916
So I gathered.

54
00:04:16,083 --> 00:04:19,833
- What are you going to do?
- I'm not sure.

55
00:04:19,916 --> 00:04:22,000
- You mentioned your father's
sisters in New York.

56
00:04:22,083 --> 00:04:23,666
- My aunts
were not on good terms

57
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:25,500
with my father, Mr. Raikes.

58
00:04:25,583 --> 00:04:27,541
They disliked him,
and he disliked them,

59
00:04:27,625 --> 00:04:30,291
so they have played
no part in my life.

60
00:04:30,375 --> 00:04:33,125
- I would only ask you
to consider your options,

61
00:04:33,208 --> 00:04:35,875
realistically.

62
00:04:35,958 --> 00:04:38,333
- You mean
beggars can't be choosers?

63
00:04:41,375 --> 00:04:43,625
- Well, the rent is paid
to the end of the month.

64
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:45,083
Perhaps you will signal
your intentions

65
00:04:45,166 --> 00:04:47,083
before that point is reached?

66
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:50,833
- Perhaps I will.
Thank you.

67
00:04:56,250 --> 00:04:59,041
- I'm sorry
I couldn't be more help.

68
00:04:59,125 --> 00:05:02,083
- Don't worry, Mr. Raikes,
I'm not beaten yet.

69
00:05:02,166 --> 00:05:03,541
- At the risk of impertinence,
I would say

70
00:05:03,625 --> 00:05:05,791
you're a long way
from being beaten, Miss Brook.

71
00:05:45,041 --> 00:05:46,375
<i>What does she say?</i>

72
00:05:46,458 --> 00:05:48,083
<i>- She thanks you</i>
<i>for the letter</i>

73
00:05:48,166 --> 00:05:49,708
<i>that you did not show me</i>

74
00:05:49,791 --> 00:05:51,583
and for the tickets
that you purchased

75
00:05:51,666 --> 00:05:53,583
without my knowledge.

76
00:05:53,666 --> 00:05:54,916
She means to join us here

77
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,583
just as soon
as she has closed the house

78
00:05:56,666 --> 00:05:58,083
and sold her furniture.

79
00:05:58,166 --> 00:06:00,916
- Oh, what a relief.
- A relief?

80
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,875
And who is to support her?

81
00:06:02,958 --> 00:06:05,208
Exactly. Me.

82
00:06:05,291 --> 00:06:06,375
With the Van Rhijn money,

83
00:06:06,458 --> 00:06:08,916
which was not achieved
at no cost to myself.

84
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,916
You were allowed

85
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,875
the pure and tranquil life
of a spinster.

86
00:06:11,958 --> 00:06:13,041
I was not.

87
00:06:13,125 --> 00:06:15,375
- I'm very grateful.
- So you should be.

88
00:06:15,458 --> 00:06:17,791
- Well, I'm glad she's coming.

89
00:06:17,875 --> 00:06:19,958
- And if my letter
played a part in her decision,

90
00:06:20,041 --> 00:06:21,458
then I'm glad I sent it.

91
00:06:21,541 --> 00:06:22,791
I doubt it was your letter.

92
00:06:22,875 --> 00:06:25,333
More likely, she has discovered
her father left her

93
00:06:25,416 --> 00:06:27,208
without a penny to her name.

94
00:06:27,291 --> 00:06:30,166
Henry couldn't provide
for a dog in a ditch.

95
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:31,833
He never kept a dollar
in his pocket

96
00:06:31,916 --> 00:06:34,291
if there were women or drink
within 500 miles.

97
00:06:34,375 --> 00:06:37,000
Agnes, our brother has died.

98
00:06:37,083 --> 00:06:38,250
Our brother with whom

99
00:06:38,333 --> 00:06:40,416
we have had no connection
these many years.

100
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,333
- We should have gone
for the funeral anyway.

101
00:06:42,416 --> 00:06:44,875
- It wasn't worth
an uncomfortable day of travel

102
00:06:44,958 --> 00:06:47,625
to make sure Henry was dead.

103
00:06:47,708 --> 00:06:49,083
- At least
there's a railway station

104
00:06:49,166 --> 00:06:51,916
in Doylestown now,
unlike in our day,

105
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,166
but she'll need to get up early

106
00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:55,291
to catch the first train
to Lansdale,

107
00:06:55,375 --> 00:06:57,416
and then she'll have to change
at Bethlehem

108
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,291
and take
the Lehigh Valley Railroad

109
00:06:59,375 --> 00:07:01,583
to Exchange Place
in Jersey City,

110
00:07:01,666 --> 00:07:03,625
and then catch the ferry
across the Hudson

111
00:07:03,708 --> 00:07:05,333
to Desbrosses Street.

112
00:07:05,416 --> 00:07:07,250
From there, she could take
an elevated train--

113
00:07:07,333 --> 00:07:09,958
- Are you planning
to open a travel business?

114
00:07:10,041 --> 00:07:11,208
No.

115
00:07:11,291 --> 00:07:13,625
- Then what on Earth makes you
think I would be interested?

116
00:07:14,916 --> 00:07:18,041
I only meant
it's a long journey, Agnes.

117
00:07:18,125 --> 00:07:19,458
12 hours or more.

118
00:07:19,541 --> 00:07:20,625
- And what are we
to do with her

119
00:07:20,708 --> 00:07:23,750
now that she's on her way
to disturb our peace?

120
00:07:23,833 --> 00:07:25,500
Perhaps she'd like to work.

121
00:07:25,583 --> 00:07:28,125
If her father
has left her penniless,

122
00:07:28,208 --> 00:07:30,125
maybe she could be a governess.

123
00:07:30,208 --> 00:07:34,125
- A niece of mine a governess?
- She's my niece too.

124
00:07:34,208 --> 00:07:36,083
- I've not noticed
you volunteering

125
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:38,000
to make a contribution
to the household

126
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:40,250
as a governess.

127
00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:42,791
- We are
her only living relatives.

128
00:07:42,875 --> 00:07:44,833
We owe her the duty of care.

129
00:07:44,916 --> 00:07:47,458
We do not owe her anything.

130
00:07:47,541 --> 00:07:51,041
Her father robbed us
of all that we possessed.

131
00:07:51,125 --> 00:07:52,208
Look at this.

132
00:07:52,291 --> 00:07:54,416
Invitations, charity appeals,

133
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:58,083
questions from bankers
and brokers.

134
00:07:58,166 --> 00:08:01,000
When am I expected
to answer them all?

135
00:08:01,083 --> 00:08:02,625
It's not fair.

136
00:08:09,291 --> 00:08:10,833
Is it that woman again?

137
00:08:10,916 --> 00:08:12,958
- You must be pleased
they're moving in

138
00:08:13,041 --> 00:08:14,875
and we have peace at last.

139
00:08:14,958 --> 00:08:18,125
- I don't know which is worse,
the noise of the builders,

140
00:08:18,208 --> 00:08:20,916
or the chance of running
into her in the street.

141
00:08:23,750 --> 00:08:27,583
- Good afternoon, Mrs. Russell.
- Mr. White.

142
00:08:27,666 --> 00:08:29,416
- You've never seen it
without scaffolding.

143
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:32,208
It's everything you promised.

144
00:08:32,291 --> 00:08:33,250
Steady on!

145
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,500
Mrs. Russell, Mr. White.

146
00:08:39,291 --> 00:08:40,958
Oh.

147
00:08:50,291 --> 00:08:52,416
I'm pleased with the size.

148
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:54,958
Big enough to be splendid
without being oppressively so.

149
00:08:55,041 --> 00:08:56,041
I agree.

150
00:08:56,125 --> 00:08:57,583
One needs
to be able to breathe.

151
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,875
Why is he
bringing that downstairs?

152
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,416
- I want to try
and put the other Boucher

153
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,083
in the drawing room.

154
00:09:11,666 --> 00:09:13,125
Is that from the gallery?

155
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:17,166
- Is that
from the Palazzo Borghese?

156
00:09:17,250 --> 00:09:20,708
- No, the Hôtel de Soubise
in the Marais.

157
00:09:20,791 --> 00:09:22,958
You're thinking of the clock
in the library.

158
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:34,083
- Another inch.
- As you wish, Mrs. Russell.

159
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:37,750
- The carpets work well
in here, I think.

160
00:09:37,833 --> 00:09:39,083
- I wasn't convinced
they'd go together,

161
00:09:39,166 --> 00:09:40,208
but they do.

162
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:55,583
I wish you wouldn't
do that in here.

163
00:09:55,666 --> 00:09:59,041
- What is the smoking room for?
- To entertain my friends.

164
00:09:59,125 --> 00:10:01,625
And I will not be told
what I can and can't do

165
00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:03,666
in my own library.

166
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:05,458
- The windows can be opened
when you go to change.

167
00:10:05,541 --> 00:10:07,875
- I'll ask Mrs. Bruce.
- Hm?

168
00:10:07,958 --> 00:10:09,625
The new housekeeper.

169
00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:11,666
- Why did you get rid
of Mrs. Findley?

170
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:15,291
- She wasn't up to it,
not for what I have in mind.

171
00:10:15,375 --> 00:10:16,666
Hmm.

172
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:18,791
Did you know
they shot Jesse James?

173
00:10:18,875 --> 00:10:20,875
- He had his troubles.
I have mine.

174
00:10:22,875 --> 00:10:24,000
What--

175
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:26,041
Mm.

176
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:29,083
So how was your afternoon?

177
00:10:29,166 --> 00:10:30,750
- I've left cards
with Mrs. Stevens,

178
00:10:30,833 --> 00:10:33,083
Mrs. Rutherfurd, Mrs. Jones,
Mrs. Vanderbilt,

179
00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:35,875
Mrs. Schermerhorn,
and Mrs. Astor, of course.

180
00:10:35,958 --> 00:10:39,333
- Of course.
- So now they know we're here.

181
00:10:39,416 --> 00:10:42,208
- We have been in New York City
for three years, Bertha,

182
00:10:42,291 --> 00:10:43,875
watching this house
rise from the sidewalk.

183
00:10:43,958 --> 00:10:45,583
- But we've been stuck
down on 30th Street

184
00:10:45,666 --> 00:10:46,833
with yesterday's men.

185
00:10:46,916 --> 00:10:47,875
You chose the house.

186
00:10:47,958 --> 00:10:49,000
- I didn't know
how things worked then.

187
00:10:49,083 --> 00:10:50,041
Now I do.

188
00:10:50,125 --> 00:10:51,708
The point is, we're settled
where we should be,

189
00:10:51,791 --> 00:10:54,208
and that's what
I wanted to show them.

190
00:10:54,291 --> 00:10:57,000
- They don't care.
They don't know we exist.

191
00:10:57,083 --> 00:10:58,125
Well, they will now,

192
00:10:58,208 --> 00:10:59,833
and there's no need
to sound superior.

193
00:10:59,916 --> 00:11:02,291
We cannot succeed in this town
without Mrs. Astor's approval.

194
00:11:02,375 --> 00:11:03,500
I know that much.

195
00:11:03,583 --> 00:11:05,250
- So we are to bow down
before a woman

196
00:11:05,333 --> 00:11:06,708
who has less money than me,

197
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:09,666
and less of
absolutely everything than you.

198
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,750
I'm only doing it for you,

199
00:11:12,833 --> 00:11:14,416
and Larry and Gladys,
of course.

200
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:15,750
Of course.

201
00:11:15,833 --> 00:11:16,916
I want people to see

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,291
they come
from a good background.

203
00:11:18,375 --> 00:11:20,750
They'd be lucky to welcome them
into their homes.

204
00:11:20,833 --> 00:11:22,708
- Would they be lucky
to welcome me into their homes,

205
00:11:22,791 --> 00:11:23,916
or you?

206
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,250
- You can laugh,
but we'll get there.

207
00:11:26,333 --> 00:11:27,958
I just have
to manage it carefully.

208
00:11:28,041 --> 00:11:29,791
- The Russell family
has managed

209
00:11:29,875 --> 00:11:31,541
pretty well so far,
if you ask me.

210
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,708
- Because they didn't know
any better.

211
00:11:33,791 --> 00:11:35,125
Mrs. Van Rhijn
and her sad sister

212
00:11:35,208 --> 00:11:36,958
were spying on me
when I came back.

213
00:11:37,041 --> 00:11:39,208
- I don't know
why you bother with them.

214
00:11:39,291 --> 00:11:40,708
I don't bother with them.

215
00:11:42,958 --> 00:11:45,916
Careful, that table belonged
to King Ludwig of Bavaria.

216
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,208
- He had it once.
I've got it now.

217
00:11:48,291 --> 00:11:49,833
I'm going up to change.

218
00:11:49,916 --> 00:11:51,500
I want to get
out of this corset.

219
00:11:57,916 --> 00:11:59,833
Church, could you tell Turner
I've gone to my room?

220
00:11:59,916 --> 00:12:01,500
- She is
already upstairs, madam.

221
00:12:01,583 --> 00:12:03,458
- Is Miss Gladys
back from her walk?

222
00:12:03,541 --> 00:12:05,125
- She's with Miss Grant
in the school room.

223
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:07,500
- And is everything ready
for Mr. Larry's return?

224
00:12:07,583 --> 00:12:08,458
I believe so, madam,

225
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:09,958
but I will check
with Mrs. Bruce.

226
00:12:10,041 --> 00:12:12,250
Thank you, Church.

227
00:12:12,333 --> 00:12:13,708
Yes, once more...

228
00:12:16,833 --> 00:12:18,708
She's gone up to change.

229
00:12:18,791 --> 00:12:22,000
- And he won't be long.
I should go.

230
00:12:22,083 --> 00:12:23,916
Tell him I'm making a list

231
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,791
of what is not right
about this kitchen.

232
00:12:25,875 --> 00:12:27,250
- The master won't bother
with that.

233
00:12:27,333 --> 00:12:30,250
I'll tell the mistress
what you want, if you mean it.

234
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:32,291
- I think
it's going to work well.

235
00:12:32,375 --> 00:12:33,708
It's far bigger
than the last place.

236
00:12:33,791 --> 00:12:36,833
- You didn't mind that.
- It was only rented.

237
00:12:36,916 --> 00:12:39,166
Abandoned by its owner
because 30th Street

238
00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:40,500
is out of fashion.

239
00:12:40,583 --> 00:12:43,583
Why complain about a house
when it's rented?

240
00:12:43,666 --> 00:12:45,833
- I'd say this is
three times the size.

241
00:12:45,916 --> 00:12:47,625
If you ask me, we're well-off.

242
00:12:47,708 --> 00:12:50,458
- Shouldn't you be on your way
upstairs, Mr. Watson?

243
00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:02,166
<i>Oh, Mrs. Bauer,</i>

244
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:04,791
I hope she won't make
extra work for you.

245
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,791
Miss Marian, I mean.
You must say if it's too much.

246
00:13:07,875 --> 00:13:09,625
Oh, I don't mind.

247
00:13:09,708 --> 00:13:12,458
I think she may
brighten the place up a bit.

248
00:13:12,541 --> 00:13:16,333
- Yes, that's rather what
Mrs. Van Rhijn is afraid of.

249
00:13:37,750 --> 00:13:39,708
Morning, sir.

250
00:13:52,083 --> 00:13:55,250
- That'll be all.
Thank you, Miss Ainsley.

251
00:13:56,916 --> 00:13:58,833
I'd say we're all set
for a clear run

252
00:13:58,916 --> 00:14:00,291
from New York to Chicago.

253
00:14:00,375 --> 00:14:03,083
- Mr. Thorburn is still
making trouble on his stretch.

254
00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:05,125
- Mm, from Cleveland to Toledo?
- Mm.

255
00:14:05,208 --> 00:14:06,833
I don't care much.

256
00:14:06,916 --> 00:14:09,250
- What will you do
if he won't play ball?

257
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:12,333
- Build another line,
right alongside his.

258
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:13,750
It'll show the world
we mean business.

259
00:14:13,833 --> 00:14:16,416
- And ruin Thorburn
in the process.

260
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:18,875
- You can't make an omelet
without breaking eggs.

261
00:14:18,958 --> 00:14:20,708
- Then the next step
is for the city aldermen

262
00:14:20,791 --> 00:14:22,833
to grant permission
for the new station.

263
00:14:22,916 --> 00:14:24,416
Grant permission?

264
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:26,375
You make them sound
very important.

265
00:14:26,458 --> 00:14:28,583
- Not half as important
as they think they are,

266
00:14:28,666 --> 00:14:31,208
but the fact remains,
we need them to pass the law.

267
00:14:31,291 --> 00:14:33,208
- Have we got a list
of their names?

268
00:14:33,291 --> 00:14:35,041
Right here.

269
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:38,458
Shall I round up
our detectives,

270
00:14:38,541 --> 00:14:40,291
see if they can dig up
anything useful?

271
00:14:40,375 --> 00:14:41,458
Not yet.

272
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:44,250
We'll start by appealing
to their greed.

273
00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:46,791
But do nothing now.
I'll tell you when to begin.

274
00:15:02,166 --> 00:15:04,625
<i>- You're kind to take me</i>
<i>at such an early hour.</i>

275
00:15:04,708 --> 00:15:05,875
Not at all.

276
00:15:05,958 --> 00:15:08,250
- There is only a bed
and a chair left,

277
00:15:08,333 --> 00:15:10,541
so perhaps you could give those
to a charity.

278
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:15,916
- Have you slept at all?
You look worn out.

279
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,291
- Just what every woman
wants to hear.

280
00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:29,625
This is the receipt
for your trunk.

281
00:15:29,708 --> 00:15:31,958
It should be delivered
this evening.

282
00:15:32,041 --> 00:15:34,750
- Can you manage until then?
- I can.

283
00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:37,000
- You're not to wait.
- Oh, I don't mind.

284
00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:38,708
No, I insist.

285
00:15:38,791 --> 00:15:40,583
You have to get on,
and the train won't be long.

286
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:44,416
Well, I guess this is it.

287
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:46,458
I'm sorry you're going,
Miss Brook.

288
00:15:46,541 --> 00:15:48,958
May I say that without offense?

289
00:15:49,041 --> 00:15:51,000
- But you're glad
I will be taken care of.

290
00:15:51,083 --> 00:15:53,458
I understand.

291
00:15:53,541 --> 00:15:55,291
You have my address
in New York.

292
00:15:55,375 --> 00:15:58,791
- I do.
May I write to you?

293
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:01,875
I don't think so, Mr. Raikes.

294
00:16:01,958 --> 00:16:04,041
- I only meant if there was
any further business,

295
00:16:04,125 --> 00:16:05,500
- business to be dealt with.
- Oh, I'm--

296
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:08,708
I see.

297
00:16:08,791 --> 00:16:10,666
Well, in that case,
I suppose you'll need to.

298
00:16:13,625 --> 00:16:17,041
- I'll say goodbye, Miss Brook,
and good luck on your travels.

299
00:16:17,125 --> 00:16:18,416
And good luck to you.

300
00:16:37,416 --> 00:16:39,041
- What do you mean,
you don't know where it is?

301
00:16:39,125 --> 00:16:40,833
- I don't know.
How is that hard?

302
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:43,541
- You're a damn liar.
- What'd you call me?

303
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,125
Break it up!

304
00:16:47,208 --> 00:16:48,250
- Ah!
- Oh!

305
00:16:48,333 --> 00:16:49,500
Get back here, you bastard!

306
00:16:51,833 --> 00:16:54,333
- Oh. Ah.
I'm so sorry about that.

307
00:16:54,416 --> 00:16:57,458
- Oh, it's all right.
I can fix it.

308
00:16:57,541 --> 00:16:59,250
They've gone.

309
00:16:59,333 --> 00:17:00,791
- That was
the most frightful thing.

310
00:17:03,125 --> 00:17:04,208
Train for Lansdale.

311
00:17:07,416 --> 00:17:08,791
My purse.

312
00:17:11,958 --> 00:17:15,333
- Have your tickets ready.
- Here you are, sir.

313
00:17:20,625 --> 00:17:23,958
- Excuse me, sir,
my ticket was in my purse.

314
00:17:24,041 --> 00:17:25,458
There were two men fighting,
and somehow,

315
00:17:25,541 --> 00:17:27,666
it must have been taken
during the commotion.

316
00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:29,458
Sorry, miss.

317
00:17:29,541 --> 00:17:31,666
- No, please, sir,
I have to get to New York.

318
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:32,791
Not without a ticket.

319
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:48,208
- You haven't seen a purse,
by any chance?

320
00:17:48,291 --> 00:17:50,125
I'm afraid not.

321
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:52,500
- It had my train
and ferry tickets and my money,

322
00:17:52,583 --> 00:17:54,625
and I don't know
what I'm going to do.

323
00:17:54,708 --> 00:17:57,250
- Are you from around here?
- Yes.

324
00:17:57,333 --> 00:17:59,125
- Can't you go home to get
money for the next train?

325
00:17:59,208 --> 00:18:00,833
- There is no home
to go back to.

326
00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:04,208
And anyway,
my trunk's on this one.

327
00:18:05,666 --> 00:18:07,833
I'm so sorry.

328
00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:11,208
This isn't your concern.

329
00:18:11,291 --> 00:18:13,458
Please, don't let me
hold you up.

330
00:18:13,541 --> 00:18:15,125
We have to board last.

331
00:18:16,916 --> 00:18:18,333
Oh, I see.

332
00:18:49,166 --> 00:18:51,833
- I'm sorry
it's not first class.

333
00:18:51,916 --> 00:18:53,708
- Nonsense.
You've been very kind,

334
00:18:53,791 --> 00:18:55,333
especially when
I tore your skirt.

335
00:18:56,958 --> 00:18:58,750
I promise, my aunts are
good for the money.

336
00:18:58,833 --> 00:19:00,166
I imagine they are

337
00:19:00,250 --> 00:19:02,875
if they live
on East 61st Street.

338
00:19:02,958 --> 00:19:04,833
So you know New York?

339
00:19:04,916 --> 00:19:06,416
- My parents live in Brooklyn.
- Oh.

340
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:07,916
I grew up there.

341
00:19:09,166 --> 00:19:10,625
This is my first trip.

342
00:19:10,708 --> 00:19:12,916
Mm.

343
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,625
- You must give me
your parents' address

344
00:19:14,708 --> 00:19:16,166
to send the money.

345
00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:17,875
- I don't know
if I'll be staying with them.

346
00:19:17,958 --> 00:19:20,291
I have some business
that needs looking into,

347
00:19:20,375 --> 00:19:21,625
but I'm not sure
where I'll be based.

348
00:19:21,708 --> 00:19:23,500
Then how shall I repay you?

349
00:19:23,583 --> 00:19:25,666
- I'll come to your
aunts' house in a day or two,

350
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:27,500
if you could leave an envelope
to be collected.

351
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:29,250
Of course.

352
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,125
Well?

353
00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:45,791
I guess it's big enough.

354
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:47,041
- If you're going
to do a thing,

355
00:19:47,125 --> 00:19:48,916
you might as well
do it properly.

356
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,875
What do you think
of the paneling in your room?

357
00:19:50,958 --> 00:19:52,041
Why?

358
00:19:52,125 --> 00:19:54,333
- Mr. White found it
in the Château de Chavaniac,

359
00:19:54,416 --> 00:19:55,625
the home of Lafayette.

360
00:19:55,708 --> 00:19:58,375
- It's very fine,
but I should get going.

361
00:19:58,458 --> 00:20:00,541
I'm catching the 11:00 train
to Rhode Island.

362
00:20:00,625 --> 00:20:01,750
- But you've only
just got home.

363
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:03,666
Is that what this is?

364
00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:05,083
- Well, take a later train
at least.

365
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:06,458
We haven't seen you
all semester.

366
00:20:06,541 --> 00:20:07,416
But it'll be fun.

367
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,041
It's the one
Mrs. Fish told us to catch,

368
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:10,916
and most of the party
are traveling on it.

369
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,250
- Who is in the party?
Do you know?

370
00:20:12,333 --> 00:20:13,291
The usual crowd.

371
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:15,666
Ogden Goelet and his wife,
the Joneses,

372
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:17,833
the Wilsons, Carrie Astor--

373
00:20:17,916 --> 00:20:19,000
Carrie Astor?

374
00:20:19,083 --> 00:20:20,500
- I think so.
- DO you know her?

375
00:20:20,583 --> 00:20:22,500
- You never said.
- I don't, not really.

376
00:20:22,583 --> 00:20:24,166
- Not much.
- Then get to know her.

377
00:20:24,250 --> 00:20:25,625
- And catch that train.
- Mother.

378
00:20:25,708 --> 00:20:27,791
I know what I'm doing.

379
00:20:27,875 --> 00:20:30,208
- We've finished the gilding
in the ballroom, Mrs. Russell.

380
00:20:30,291 --> 00:20:31,916
- No, you think you have
finished the gilding,

381
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,041
Mr. Kowalski, but nothing
is finished till I decide.

382
00:20:34,125 --> 00:20:35,750
- I'm going, Mother.
Where is Gladys?

383
00:20:35,833 --> 00:20:37,375
- Why?
- I want to say goodbye to her.

384
00:20:37,458 --> 00:20:38,416
I'll say it for you.

385
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:39,833
She's gone to the park
with Miss Grant.

386
00:20:39,916 --> 00:20:41,333
She's not a child anymore,

387
00:20:41,416 --> 00:20:42,583
and you shouldn't treat her
as one.

388
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:45,250
- She's a child until I say.
Where are your bags?

389
00:20:45,333 --> 00:20:46,916
- My trunk
will be delivered tomorrow,

390
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,500
and what I need
for Newport's in the carriage.

391
00:20:48,583 --> 00:20:51,666
- Then hurry, and give
my regards to Mrs. Fish.

392
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,291
- Don't be silly.
You don't know her.

393
00:20:53,375 --> 00:20:55,000
Not yet, but I will.

394
00:20:55,083 --> 00:20:56,458
Now, come along, Mr. Kowalski,

395
00:20:56,541 --> 00:20:58,458
show me
what you think you've done.

396
00:21:14,250 --> 00:21:15,541
Here it comes now.

397
00:21:15,625 --> 00:21:18,125
- I don't like
the look of that sky.

398
00:21:24,375 --> 00:21:26,375
So this is to be my home.

399
00:21:28,083 --> 00:21:31,958
Funny, I never imagined I'd be
wistful for Pennsylvania.

400
00:21:32,041 --> 00:21:34,666
Then why did you leave?

401
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:36,625
- There is nothing there
for me anymore,

402
00:21:36,708 --> 00:21:38,708
not since my father died.

403
00:21:38,791 --> 00:21:40,500
Oh, I'm so sorry.

404
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:44,833
Will you go to Brooklyn now?

405
00:21:44,916 --> 00:21:47,083
I suppose so.

406
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:48,750
It's too late for me
to make another plan,

407
00:21:48,833 --> 00:21:52,333
and I can catch the last ferry,
even if I don't much want to.

408
00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:55,833
- Well, I hope
it all works out for you,

409
00:21:55,916 --> 00:21:58,250
and once again,
thank you for what you did.

410
00:21:58,333 --> 00:22:01,208
Please ask for me
when you come for the money.

411
00:22:01,291 --> 00:22:03,750
- Of course, and good luck
with your aunts.

412
00:22:05,291 --> 00:22:06,791
- Desbrosses Street ferry
coming in.

413
00:22:06,875 --> 00:22:07,791
That's us.

414
00:22:07,875 --> 00:22:10,166
- Desbrosses Street ferry
coming in.

415
00:22:10,250 --> 00:22:11,958
- Tickets. Tickets.

416
00:22:12,041 --> 00:22:13,041
Tickets please!

417
00:22:13,125 --> 00:22:15,333
- Desbrosses Street ferry
coming in!

418
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,458
How are things at the office?

419
00:22:28,541 --> 00:22:30,583
- Don't start him on that,
I beg you.

420
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:33,416
- I suppose father's business
is what we all depend on.

421
00:22:34,875 --> 00:22:37,083
- I hope the weather
is better in Newport.

422
00:22:37,166 --> 00:22:38,541
When does Larry come back?

423
00:22:38,625 --> 00:22:40,416
- Not before the day
after tomorrow.

424
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,791
- I suppose he has
some oats to sow

425
00:22:42,875 --> 00:22:44,666
now that college is over.

426
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:47,958
- When will he start with you?
- Straight away, I imagine.

427
00:22:48,041 --> 00:22:50,875
Nothing to be gained
from delay.

428
00:22:50,958 --> 00:22:53,833
Why not invite your sister
to stay for a while?

429
00:22:53,916 --> 00:22:56,375
I don't think so.

430
00:22:56,458 --> 00:22:59,166
- What about your old friends?
You never see them now.

431
00:22:59,250 --> 00:23:01,666
- I don't want my old friends.
I want new friends.

432
00:23:20,208 --> 00:23:21,791
- Whoa, hey!
- That's enough of that.

433
00:23:25,208 --> 00:23:26,583
Wait.

434
00:23:27,666 --> 00:23:29,291
Give me a moment.

435
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:34,458
Come with me.

436
00:23:34,541 --> 00:23:36,416
Let us
at least give you a ride.

437
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:37,875
Thank you.

438
00:23:41,916 --> 00:23:45,000
- Can we take her
to the Brooklyn ferry?

439
00:23:45,083 --> 00:23:47,208
- No ferrys are running,
not in this weather.

440
00:23:47,291 --> 00:23:49,291
I'll be fine.

441
00:23:49,375 --> 00:23:50,875
I'm not leaving without you.

442
00:23:52,583 --> 00:23:53,958
Very well.

443
00:24:06,875 --> 00:24:09,666
- Oh, that's her now.
- It is.

444
00:24:09,750 --> 00:24:12,000
Come on, John.
Look lively.

445
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:13,791
I wonder what she'll be like.

446
00:24:13,875 --> 00:24:16,125
Well, we'll know soon enough.

447
00:24:24,458 --> 00:24:26,958
- Welcome to East 61st Street,
Miss Marian.

448
00:24:27,041 --> 00:24:29,541
My name is Bannister,
Mrs. Van Rhijn's butler.

449
00:24:31,416 --> 00:24:33,458
And this is?

450
00:24:35,291 --> 00:24:38,208
- Miss Scott.
Miss Peggy Scott.

451
00:24:38,291 --> 00:24:40,125
Miss Scott traveled with me,

452
00:24:40,208 --> 00:24:42,000
but they've canceled
the ferries to Brooklyn.

453
00:24:42,083 --> 00:24:43,583
I'm rather hoping
Mrs. Van Rhijn

454
00:24:43,666 --> 00:24:46,000
will allow her to rest here
until the storm has passed.

455
00:24:46,083 --> 00:24:47,125
I see.

456
00:24:47,208 --> 00:24:49,833
Mrs. van Rhijn's in
the drawing room with Miss Ada.

457
00:24:49,916 --> 00:24:51,291
Then I'll ask them.

458
00:24:51,375 --> 00:24:53,500
If Miss Scott
could wait downstairs?

459
00:24:53,583 --> 00:24:54,958
Of course.

460
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:06,291
- An unknown colored woman
lent you money

461
00:25:06,375 --> 00:25:07,916
to travel to New York?

462
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,708
That seems very unlikely.

463
00:25:09,791 --> 00:25:11,541
Unlikely or not, it's true.

464
00:25:11,625 --> 00:25:12,916
And she's here, now?

465
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,250
- Well, her parents
live in Brooklyn,

466
00:25:14,333 --> 00:25:16,333
but the cab driver said
the ferries aren't running.

467
00:25:16,416 --> 00:25:18,416
- Well, then of course
she must stay.

468
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,916
Mustn't she, Agnes?

469
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,916
Bring her in first.

470
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,666
I have to meet anyone
who's going to be in my house.

471
00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:26,916
Of course, ma'am.

472
00:25:28,583 --> 00:25:31,666
- Marian, you must be hungry.
- Not really.

473
00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:34,250
- We'll have Mrs. Bauer
send something up to her room.

474
00:25:40,041 --> 00:25:42,041
It seems we owe you
a considerable debt,

475
00:25:42,125 --> 00:25:43,625
Miss Scott.

476
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:45,958
I gather you would like
to stay here?

477
00:25:46,041 --> 00:25:47,791
- I don't want
to be a nuisance.

478
00:25:47,875 --> 00:25:49,500
- I forced Miss Scott
into the cab

479
00:25:49,583 --> 00:25:50,833
to get her out of the storm.

480
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:52,500
- The wind gusts alone
could blow you

481
00:25:52,583 --> 00:25:53,958
all the way to Fifth Avenue.

482
00:25:54,041 --> 00:25:55,833
So she can stay, Aunt Agnes?

483
00:25:57,875 --> 00:26:00,958
- We can't have Miss Scott
blown into oblivion.

484
00:26:01,041 --> 00:26:02,958
Yes, you may stay,
and in the morning,

485
00:26:03,041 --> 00:26:05,625
Bannister can fetch the money
from the bank to repay you.

486
00:26:05,708 --> 00:26:06,750
Thank you.

487
00:26:06,833 --> 00:26:10,083
I have never found myself
in such an odd predicament.

488
00:26:10,166 --> 00:26:11,750
I appreciate your kindness.

489
00:26:11,833 --> 00:26:13,458
- You may stay
on one condition:

490
00:26:13,541 --> 00:26:15,250
that you give me
your parents' address

491
00:26:15,333 --> 00:26:17,250
in case anything happens.

492
00:26:17,333 --> 00:26:18,625
Nothing will happen to me.

493
00:26:18,708 --> 00:26:20,625
- I won't be in a position
of having no one to contact

494
00:26:20,708 --> 00:26:22,250
if it does.

495
00:26:22,333 --> 00:26:24,166
Very well.

496
00:26:28,250 --> 00:26:31,291
- I hope the ferry crossing
wasn't too rough, dear.

497
00:26:31,375 --> 00:26:32,958
No, not at all.

498
00:26:39,625 --> 00:26:41,208
- Who taught you
to write like this?

499
00:26:41,291 --> 00:26:43,041
- The Institute
for Colored Youth

500
00:26:43,125 --> 00:26:45,000
in Philadelphia.

501
00:26:45,083 --> 00:26:46,625
But I know it well.

502
00:26:46,708 --> 00:26:48,291
My father was a patron

503
00:26:48,375 --> 00:26:49,958
when it first opened
in the '30s.

504
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:52,791
I grew up in Pennsylvania,
outside Doylestown.

505
00:26:52,875 --> 00:26:54,208
We used to attend

506
00:26:54,291 --> 00:26:55,958
the wonderful
Christmas pageants

507
00:26:56,041 --> 00:26:57,166
at the school.

508
00:26:57,250 --> 00:26:59,500
- Were you a part of that?
- Every year.

509
00:26:59,583 --> 00:27:00,500
- Oh!

510
00:27:00,583 --> 00:27:01,875
- Let's get you settled,
Miss Scott,

511
00:27:01,958 --> 00:27:03,916
before my sister begs you
to sing a carol.

512
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:06,416
Go down to the kitchens

513
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:08,166
and ask Mrs. Bauer
to find you a room.

514
00:27:08,250 --> 00:27:09,208
Thank you.

515
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:19,041
- Now, Marian,
have you made any plans yet?

516
00:27:19,125 --> 00:27:22,166
- She's only
just arrived, Agnes.

517
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:24,000
I haven't made any plans, no.

518
00:27:24,083 --> 00:27:25,875
- I suppose
you only recently learned

519
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:27,916
that your father
had let you down.

520
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,291
- Please don't speak ill
of Daddy.

521
00:27:30,375 --> 00:27:31,708
- I will say what I like
in my own house.

522
00:27:31,791 --> 00:27:33,416
Not to me.

523
00:27:35,916 --> 00:27:37,208
I thought I might find a job.

524
00:27:38,833 --> 00:27:40,500
- Would that be
out of the question?

525
00:27:40,583 --> 00:27:42,833
- Only if you wish
to live with me.

526
00:27:42,916 --> 00:27:44,166
- Well, I don't want
to be idle.

527
00:27:44,250 --> 00:27:46,666
Perhaps there's a charity
that could use my services.

528
00:27:46,750 --> 00:27:49,416
- How generous,
and how suitable.

529
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:51,708
- That depends
on the charity she chooses,

530
00:27:51,791 --> 00:27:54,375
but first we must attend
to your clothes, my dear.

531
00:27:54,458 --> 00:27:56,916
You will go tomorrow with Ada
to my dressmaker,

532
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,416
and no black.

533
00:27:58,500 --> 00:27:59,708
But I'm in mourning.

534
00:27:59,791 --> 00:28:01,791
- People here won't know
when Henry died.

535
00:28:01,875 --> 00:28:03,666
You're making your debut
in society.

536
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:05,041
You are young and pretty

537
00:28:05,125 --> 00:28:07,250
and need to be shown
to advantage.

538
00:28:07,333 --> 00:28:09,333
I don't want you hanging about
on the edge of things

539
00:28:09,416 --> 00:28:10,416
like a lonely crow.

540
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:11,708
Ada, remember,

541
00:28:11,791 --> 00:28:13,500
I want cheerful colors,
whatever she says.

542
00:28:13,583 --> 00:28:14,500
- But--

543
00:28:14,583 --> 00:28:16,333
- We must look out
for some people

544
00:28:16,416 --> 00:28:18,333
with sons and daughters
your age.

545
00:28:18,416 --> 00:28:20,875
- That's true.
I don't know anyone.

546
00:28:20,958 --> 00:28:22,541
- Now, you need to know
we only receive

547
00:28:22,625 --> 00:28:25,500
the old people in this house,

548
00:28:25,583 --> 00:28:27,000
not the new.

549
00:28:27,083 --> 00:28:29,708
- Never the new.
- What's the difference?

550
00:28:29,791 --> 00:28:32,291
- The old have been in charge
since before the revolution.

551
00:28:32,375 --> 00:28:35,625
They ruled justly
until the new people invaded.

552
00:28:35,708 --> 00:28:38,166
- It's not quite as simple
as that.

553
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:40,291
- Yes, it is.
- Well, I'm new.

554
00:28:40,375 --> 00:28:41,333
I've only just arrived.

555
00:28:41,416 --> 00:28:43,166
- Marian,
never mind that the Brooks

556
00:28:43,250 --> 00:28:46,625
have been in Pennsylvania
for a century and a half.

557
00:28:46,708 --> 00:28:49,750
My mother, your grandmother,
was a Livingston

558
00:28:49,833 --> 00:28:51,166
of Livingston Manor,

559
00:28:51,250 --> 00:28:55,041
and they came to this city
in 1674.

560
00:28:55,125 --> 00:28:56,791
You belong to old New York,
my dear,

561
00:28:56,875 --> 00:28:59,291
and don't let anyone
tell you different.

562
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:01,291
You are my niece,

563
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:03,958
and you belong to old New York.

564
00:29:17,125 --> 00:29:20,000
- Wil you fetch Miss Scott
some supper, Bridget?

565
00:29:20,083 --> 00:29:21,208
- I don't want
to be any trouble.

566
00:29:21,291 --> 00:29:23,000
No, no, please, sit down.

567
00:29:27,250 --> 00:29:29,208
I hope they've made a room
ready for you.

568
00:29:29,291 --> 00:29:30,500
Oh, we had one prepared

569
00:29:30,583 --> 00:29:32,708
in case Miss Marian
brought a maid.

570
00:29:32,791 --> 00:29:33,666
- Mm-hmm.

571
00:29:33,750 --> 00:29:35,041
Mrs. Bauer is on the top floor

572
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:37,458
with you and Miss Armstrong
and Bridget.

573
00:29:37,541 --> 00:29:39,958
John and I sleep down here.

574
00:29:40,041 --> 00:29:42,166
- She's on the same floor
as us?

575
00:29:42,250 --> 00:29:43,625
Is there some difficulty?

576
00:29:45,250 --> 00:29:46,875
Ah, there you are, then.

577
00:29:48,166 --> 00:29:51,416
Do you drink coffee?

578
00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:52,791
Yes, I drink coffee.

579
00:29:52,875 --> 00:29:54,916
Thank you.

580
00:29:56,458 --> 00:29:58,500
I just wanted to be sure.

581
00:30:04,375 --> 00:30:06,041
- But are we to share
the same bathroom,

582
00:30:06,125 --> 00:30:07,875
the same water closet?

583
00:30:07,958 --> 00:30:09,875
- She can hardly use a bucket
under the stairs.

584
00:30:09,958 --> 00:30:11,666
Is that right, Mr. Bannister?

585
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:14,000
- It's not for us
to have an opinion.

586
00:30:14,083 --> 00:30:15,791
- I don't want trouble
in the house,

587
00:30:15,875 --> 00:30:17,041
and while she may not
want to cause it,

588
00:30:17,125 --> 00:30:18,500
she may be the cause of it.

589
00:30:18,583 --> 00:30:21,583
- I repeat, it is not for us
to have an opinion,

590
00:30:21,666 --> 00:30:22,833
certainly not that one.

591
00:30:22,916 --> 00:30:25,583
- But how long is she here for,
and why is she here at all?

592
00:30:25,666 --> 00:30:27,333
- Because she performed
a great service

593
00:30:27,416 --> 00:30:28,375
for Miss Marian.

594
00:30:28,458 --> 00:30:30,208
- I'm going to bed.
- Good night.

595
00:30:30,291 --> 00:30:32,166
- I think that Miss Scott
seems nice.

596
00:30:32,250 --> 00:30:34,333
- Which is all you know.
- Yes, it is.

597
00:30:34,416 --> 00:30:36,666
And I'm sticking to it
until she proves me wrong.

598
00:30:36,750 --> 00:30:38,583
- That's all very well
for you to say,

599
00:30:38,666 --> 00:30:40,625
but they're coming up here now
to take our jobs.

600
00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:42,625
- She's not taking
anyone's job.

601
00:30:42,708 --> 00:30:44,416
- See?
She'll disrupt things.

602
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:46,416
I told Mrs. Bauer,
but she wouldn't listen.

603
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,375
- Maybe we need
a bit of disruption.

604
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,625
Ugh.

605
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,958
Oh.

606
00:30:58,750 --> 00:31:00,333
Excuse me.

607
00:31:19,125 --> 00:31:21,291
- Miss Scott, I think
this is what we owe you.

608
00:31:21,375 --> 00:31:22,291
Thank you.

609
00:31:22,375 --> 00:31:24,041
- While he was out,
Bannister checked,

610
00:31:24,125 --> 00:31:26,083
and the Brooklyn ferry
is still not running.

611
00:31:26,166 --> 00:31:28,333
The docks were damaged
in the storm.

612
00:31:28,416 --> 00:31:30,750
You may have to stay here
another night.

613
00:31:30,833 --> 00:31:32,958
Will your family be concerned?

614
00:31:33,041 --> 00:31:35,458
- They weren't expecting me,
so no.

615
00:31:35,541 --> 00:31:37,291
Really?

616
00:31:37,375 --> 00:31:38,875
Oh, thank you.

617
00:31:38,958 --> 00:31:40,583
I'm overwhelmed with papers.

618
00:31:40,666 --> 00:31:43,083
I've never been this behind
on my correspondence.

619
00:31:43,166 --> 00:31:44,708
- Mrs. Van Rhijn,
please tell me

620
00:31:44,791 --> 00:31:47,416
if there's anything
I can do to help.

621
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,083
- Well, you do have
the penmanship for it.

622
00:31:49,166 --> 00:31:52,583
- I can take dictation.
I know Pitman shorthand.

623
00:31:52,666 --> 00:31:54,666
It's the least I can do
to repay you.

624
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,625
- I will dictate some letters,
if you insist,

625
00:31:59,708 --> 00:32:02,208
but they will only be
very dull ones, I'm afraid.

626
00:32:08,958 --> 00:32:10,208
- Gladys, that's bad
for your eyes.

627
00:32:10,291 --> 00:32:11,666
Sit nearer the window.

628
00:32:13,583 --> 00:32:15,000
- Just delivered by hand,
ma'am.

629
00:32:15,083 --> 00:32:16,041
Thank you, Church.

630
00:32:22,875 --> 00:32:24,458
A Mrs. Morris and a Mrs. Fane

631
00:32:24,541 --> 00:32:26,958
want me to support a charity
in aid of orphaned girls.

632
00:32:27,041 --> 00:32:29,583
- Is that Mrs. Patrick Morris
and Mrs. Charles Fane?

633
00:32:29,666 --> 00:32:31,500
- Uh, yes it is.
Why?

634
00:32:31,583 --> 00:32:34,125
- Their husbands
are city aldermen.

635
00:32:34,208 --> 00:32:35,291
I may have some business
with them.

636
00:32:35,375 --> 00:32:36,583
What do the wives want of you?

637
00:32:36,666 --> 00:32:38,000
- Well, to start with,
there's a meeting

638
00:32:38,083 --> 00:32:40,291
for friends of the cause to be
held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

639
00:32:40,375 --> 00:32:42,750
- Really?
Not in one of their own houses?

640
00:32:42,833 --> 00:32:44,416
- I dare say
a hotel was more convenient.

641
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:46,666
- I hear
the Fifth Avenue's slipping.

642
00:32:46,750 --> 00:32:48,541
No one wants to be
down on 23rd Street anymore.

643
00:32:48,625 --> 00:32:50,750
- I won't let you spoil it
for me.

644
00:32:50,833 --> 00:32:52,250
I don't want to spoil it.

645
00:32:52,333 --> 00:32:54,375
- It's beginning.
I knew it would.

646
00:32:54,458 --> 00:32:56,041
Persistence is the key
to everything.

647
00:32:56,125 --> 00:32:57,375
Patience and persistence.

648
00:32:57,458 --> 00:32:59,041
Useful qualities, I agree.

649
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:01,166
Could I come, Mother, please?

650
00:33:01,250 --> 00:33:03,000
- Take her.
Why not?

651
00:33:04,250 --> 00:33:06,500
- I'll think about it.
- When is it?

652
00:33:06,583 --> 00:33:08,041
On the 1st.

653
00:33:08,125 --> 00:33:09,625
- I'm seeing John Thorburn
that day.

654
00:33:09,708 --> 00:33:10,833
Who's he?

655
00:33:10,916 --> 00:33:11,833
A man who owns a railroad

656
00:33:11,916 --> 00:33:13,625
and thinks he can
get the better of me.

657
00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:14,833
He'll find out.

658
00:33:17,083 --> 00:33:19,333
Nicely done, Miss Scott.
Thank you.

659
00:33:19,416 --> 00:33:20,333
Not at all.

660
00:33:20,416 --> 00:33:22,166
Look who I found in my room.

661
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:24,083
- Must we have
that horrid thing in here?

662
00:33:24,166 --> 00:33:26,291
- I think we must.
Don't you, Aunt Ada?

663
00:33:26,375 --> 00:33:29,750
Absolutely.

664
00:33:29,833 --> 00:33:32,375
- Have you had a nice walk, dear?
- I have.

665
00:33:32,458 --> 00:33:34,875
Your suitcase is mended.
I brought it back myself.

666
00:33:34,958 --> 00:33:35,916
- Oh.
- I've put it in your room.

667
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,458
- You carried a suitcase
through the streets?

668
00:33:38,541 --> 00:33:40,625
- Oh, have I broken
another rule?

669
00:33:40,708 --> 00:33:41,958
- You were to check
it was ready

670
00:33:42,041 --> 00:33:43,875
and then send the footman
to collect it.

671
00:33:43,958 --> 00:33:45,708
And never go out unaccompanied.

672
00:33:45,791 --> 00:33:47,791
Please don't do
such a thing again.

673
00:33:47,875 --> 00:33:49,625
I should leave you.

674
00:33:49,708 --> 00:33:52,250
- Miss Scott,
I've just had another thought.

675
00:33:52,333 --> 00:33:56,166
Clearly, I'm in need of help
with my correspondence.

676
00:33:56,250 --> 00:33:57,541
I don't know
what your plans are,

677
00:33:57,625 --> 00:33:58,666
but if you're interested,

678
00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:01,458
I would like to hire you
as my secretary.

679
00:34:01,541 --> 00:34:03,083
That does interest me.

680
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:05,083
- I would need a reference,
of course.

681
00:34:05,166 --> 00:34:06,458
- I can get you one
from the principal

682
00:34:06,541 --> 00:34:08,125
at the institute.

683
00:34:08,208 --> 00:34:11,750
But working on 61st
and staying in Brooklyn

684
00:34:11,833 --> 00:34:12,833
presents a challenge,

685
00:34:12,916 --> 00:34:14,458
even once the ferries
are running.

686
00:34:15,833 --> 00:34:18,250
- It seems to me, Miss Scott,
that you are not eager

687
00:34:18,333 --> 00:34:20,625
to return home.

688
00:34:20,708 --> 00:34:21,791
Very well.

689
00:34:21,875 --> 00:34:23,791
You may stay here
for the time being,

690
00:34:23,875 --> 00:34:26,041
but you must arrange
to see your parents

691
00:34:26,125 --> 00:34:27,750
and tell them where you are.

692
00:34:27,833 --> 00:34:29,083
You've got their address.

693
00:34:29,166 --> 00:34:31,125
- I will not have a fugitive
in my house

694
00:34:31,208 --> 00:34:32,666
hiding from her family.

695
00:34:34,458 --> 00:34:35,375
All right.

696
00:34:35,458 --> 00:34:36,958
- You will make a plan
to see them?

697
00:34:37,041 --> 00:34:38,500
- I'll arrange
to meet my mother.

698
00:34:38,583 --> 00:34:40,208
- I thought you wanted
to avoid them.

699
00:34:40,291 --> 00:34:42,750
I want to avoid him.

700
00:34:42,833 --> 00:34:45,000
Thank you, Mrs. Van Rhijn.

701
00:34:47,291 --> 00:34:49,666
- Ah, we have a surprise
for you.

702
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:51,875
It came by hand.

703
00:34:56,125 --> 00:34:58,000
Mrs. Fane is a niece
of my husband,

704
00:34:58,083 --> 00:35:00,583
and Mrs. Morris
was born a Stuyvesant,

705
00:35:00,666 --> 00:35:02,000
so we thought it suitable

706
00:35:02,083 --> 00:35:03,875
for you to begin
your charitable career.

707
00:35:03,958 --> 00:35:06,416
- Training orphans
to be servants?

708
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,458
- To save them
from...something worse.

709
00:35:09,541 --> 00:35:11,250
- There's no need
to go into that.

710
00:35:11,333 --> 00:35:12,916
- But it's addressed to you,
not me.

711
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,666
- They want a donation from us,
but they'll be delighted

712
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:17,750
when we offer them
a pair of willing hands.

713
00:35:17,833 --> 00:35:19,291
- There'll be
other young women there

714
00:35:19,375 --> 00:35:20,250
your own age.

715
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:22,125
And background.

716
00:35:22,208 --> 00:35:23,458
Very well.

717
00:35:36,833 --> 00:35:38,375
- Are you looking
for your mistress?

718
00:35:38,458 --> 00:35:40,875
No, no, not especially, sir.

719
00:35:40,958 --> 00:35:43,041
I'm just on my way upstairs.

720
00:35:50,916 --> 00:35:54,833
- Tread carefully, Miss Turner.
I speak as a friend.

721
00:35:54,916 --> 00:35:56,791
You can tread too carefully.

722
00:36:26,208 --> 00:36:29,500
- Mr. Russell, have you met
Miss Caroline Astor?

723
00:36:29,583 --> 00:36:30,916
We've met a few times,

724
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,416
but we don't really
know each other.

725
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:33,708
- We do now.
- Come on.

726
00:36:33,791 --> 00:36:34,833
You must play something.

727
00:36:34,916 --> 00:36:36,708
- But we're having
such a nice time where we are.

728
00:36:36,791 --> 00:36:38,500
- What makes you think
I brought you here

729
00:36:38,583 --> 00:36:40,250
to have a nice time?

730
00:36:40,333 --> 00:36:42,666
Carrie,
make Mr. Russell play croquet.

731
00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:45,041
- Any fool can play croquet.
- But they've started the game.

732
00:36:45,125 --> 00:36:48,708
- Well, barge in
and make them start over.

733
00:36:48,791 --> 00:36:49,708
Mr. Wilson.

734
00:36:49,791 --> 00:36:51,666
- Mrs. Fish is unusual,
isn't she?

735
00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:52,833
To say the least.

736
00:36:52,916 --> 00:36:54,625
Let's just find some mallets,
and then we can stand

737
00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:57,041
at the edge of the lawn
without attracting attention.

738
00:36:58,375 --> 00:37:00,000
How do you know her?

739
00:37:00,083 --> 00:37:01,458
- Her nephew was
at Harvard with me,

740
00:37:01,541 --> 00:37:04,625
but as to why she took me up,
it's anyone's guess.

741
00:37:04,708 --> 00:37:06,791
- Handsome young men who talk
are always useful.

742
00:37:06,875 --> 00:37:08,458
That's what my mother says.

743
00:37:08,541 --> 00:37:11,041
- And a girl should
always listen to her mother.

744
00:37:11,125 --> 00:37:13,250
- Mr. Van Rhijn,
I thought you weren't coming.

745
00:37:13,333 --> 00:37:15,166
- I heard you were in Europe.
- I was.

746
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:16,291
I've only just got home.

747
00:37:16,375 --> 00:37:18,083
I haven't told anyone
I'm back yet,

748
00:37:18,166 --> 00:37:21,583
but then I thought,
why the devil not?

749
00:37:21,666 --> 00:37:24,416
- May I present Mr. Russell.
- I know how you feel.

750
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:26,583
I came down from college,
and I left minutes later,

751
00:37:26,666 --> 00:37:27,916
my mother practically calling

752
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,083
down East 61st Street
as I went.

753
00:37:30,166 --> 00:37:31,875
Where are you on East 61st?

754
00:37:31,958 --> 00:37:34,041
- My parents have built a house
on the corner of Fifth Avenue.

755
00:37:34,125 --> 00:37:35,666
- They just moved in.
- But I know it well.

756
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:37,500
My mother lives
almost opposite.

757
00:37:37,583 --> 00:37:38,500
Huh.

758
00:37:38,583 --> 00:37:40,000
- Why did they choose
to live so far uptown?

759
00:37:40,083 --> 00:37:41,833
- It's not as far up
as it used to be,

760
00:37:41,916 --> 00:37:43,875
and they wanted a building plot
on the Avenue.

761
00:37:43,958 --> 00:37:45,500
My parents are
Mr. and Mrs. George Russell.

762
00:37:45,583 --> 00:37:46,708
Has your mother spoken of them?

763
00:37:46,791 --> 00:37:50,083
- Yes, but not
as acquaintances.

764
00:37:50,166 --> 00:37:52,166
- You've moved in, then.
- I suppose we have.

765
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:53,208
We?

766
00:37:53,291 --> 00:37:55,791
- My father, my mother,
and my sister.

767
00:37:55,875 --> 00:37:57,541
How cozy that sounds.

768
00:38:08,041 --> 00:38:10,666
- I don't understand
why they have taken you in.

769
00:38:10,750 --> 00:38:13,208
I did Miss Brook a good turn.

770
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:15,541
- What sort of good turn?
- It doesn't matter.

771
00:38:18,125 --> 00:38:20,041
- I brought the clothes
as you asked.

772
00:38:20,125 --> 00:38:21,541
Thank you.

773
00:38:23,083 --> 00:38:24,541
So what's next?

774
00:38:24,625 --> 00:38:26,583
I sell an article or a story.

775
00:38:26,666 --> 00:38:29,208
- You know, your father thinks
that will never happen.

776
00:38:29,291 --> 00:38:31,041
- Which is just one
of the many reasons

777
00:38:31,125 --> 00:38:32,708
why I can't come home.

778
00:38:32,791 --> 00:38:35,041
- Eventually,
you have to forgive him.

779
00:38:35,125 --> 00:38:37,625
- He was just protecting you.
- From what?

780
00:38:37,708 --> 00:38:39,375
From a poor choice

781
00:38:39,458 --> 00:38:41,333
that could have
ruined your life.

782
00:38:43,791 --> 00:38:45,666
- Well, I'm back
in New York anyway.

783
00:38:49,375 --> 00:38:51,666
- Why did you choose
this place?

784
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:52,916
I like it.

785
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:56,166
When will you come home?

786
00:38:56,250 --> 00:38:57,916
I've told you, I have a job

787
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,208
and the fresh start
that I need.

788
00:38:59,291 --> 00:39:01,041
- You know you get your
stubbornness from your father?

789
00:39:01,125 --> 00:39:02,416
- I don't want
to talk about him.

790
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:04,416
He loves you,

791
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:06,750
and he only wants
the best for you.

792
00:39:06,833 --> 00:39:09,125
- I know he feels
what he thinks is love,

793
00:39:09,208 --> 00:39:10,750
but I disagree
with his definition.

794
00:39:10,833 --> 00:39:12,708
- Maybe he can be hard
and demanding,

795
00:39:12,791 --> 00:39:14,916
but he was only thinking
of your welfare.

796
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,458
I swear.

797
00:39:16,541 --> 00:39:19,083
- But you can't swear
because you weren't there.

798
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:22,708
Don't force me to take sides.

799
00:39:28,625 --> 00:39:30,375
What are you using for money?

800
00:39:30,458 --> 00:39:32,041
I don't need money.

801
00:39:32,125 --> 00:39:34,041
I'm fed, I'm paid,
and I have a place to stay.

802
00:39:34,125 --> 00:39:36,583
- Well, I brought you some.
You take it.

803
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:37,708
- I've told you
I don't need it.

804
00:39:37,791 --> 00:39:39,708
- Don't be silly.
I'm your mother.

805
00:39:39,791 --> 00:39:41,333
I'm allowed to give you money.

806
00:39:45,875 --> 00:39:47,500
Thank you.

807
00:39:49,708 --> 00:39:51,041
I'm going now.

808
00:39:53,208 --> 00:39:56,458
You just remember,
we are all held fast,

809
00:39:56,541 --> 00:39:59,291
frozen in time
until you finally allow us

810
00:39:59,375 --> 00:40:00,958
to move forward.

811
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:20,458
- Will there be
anything else, ma'am?

812
00:40:20,541 --> 00:40:22,583
- You tell me.
Will there?

813
00:40:22,666 --> 00:40:24,708
- It might be better
without the broach.

814
00:40:24,791 --> 00:40:26,000
It's too much?

815
00:40:27,666 --> 00:40:29,500
Yes, it's too much.

816
00:40:31,916 --> 00:40:34,875
Right, that's it.

817
00:41:04,333 --> 00:41:08,833
- Thank you.

818
00:41:08,916 --> 00:41:10,875
Excuse us.

819
00:41:10,958 --> 00:41:13,166
- Mrs. Morris?
- I'm Mrs. Fane.

820
00:41:13,250 --> 00:41:15,583
Mrs. Morris is over there.

821
00:41:15,666 --> 00:41:18,541
- Mrs. Russell,
Mrs. George Russell,

822
00:41:18,625 --> 00:41:20,208
and this is my daughter Gladys.

823
00:41:20,291 --> 00:41:21,500
Oh.

824
00:41:21,583 --> 00:41:25,666
- From further up Fifth Avenue,
on the corner of 61st Street?

825
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:27,083
But of course.

826
00:41:27,166 --> 00:41:31,625
That great--that new house
we've all been talking about.

827
00:41:31,708 --> 00:41:33,208
How good of you to come.

828
00:41:33,291 --> 00:41:36,000
Let me introduce you
to Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Morris.

829
00:41:36,083 --> 00:41:37,625
How do you do?

830
00:41:37,708 --> 00:41:39,916
- Mrs. Russell has come here
today with her daughter

831
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,833
from their new house
on the corner

832
00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:44,750
of 61st and Fifth.
It's just been finished.

833
00:41:44,833 --> 00:41:46,041
You must know the one I mean.

834
00:41:47,333 --> 00:41:50,041
- How thrilling.
- Who built it for you?

835
00:41:50,125 --> 00:41:51,541
- Our architect
trained in Europe.

836
00:41:51,625 --> 00:41:53,208
Mr. Stanford White.

837
00:41:53,291 --> 00:41:55,416
You must pay us a visit.

838
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:58,208
- How brave not to go
with the same old builders

839
00:41:58,291 --> 00:41:59,916
everyone else uses.

840
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,458
- I don't think we should
be afraid of new things

841
00:42:02,541 --> 00:42:05,083
or new people.

842
00:42:05,166 --> 00:42:07,500
- How often we have said
to each other,

843
00:42:07,583 --> 00:42:08,708
"We must know the family

844
00:42:08,791 --> 00:42:10,250
who live
in that marvelous house."

845
00:42:10,333 --> 00:42:13,416
Every time we drive past,
and here you are.

846
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:16,416
I hope we can persuade you
to an interest in our cause.

847
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:18,333
As you say, I'm here.

848
00:42:18,416 --> 00:42:20,375
- And you, of course,
Miss Russell.

849
00:42:20,458 --> 00:42:22,041
I trust you'll take our part.

850
00:42:22,125 --> 00:42:24,541
- I certainly intend to.
- My daughter isn't out yet.

851
00:42:24,625 --> 00:42:27,125
She's only here
to accompany me.

852
00:42:27,208 --> 00:42:30,291
- Surely charitable work is
good for the spirit at any age.

853
00:42:30,375 --> 00:42:31,500
It depends.

854
00:42:32,708 --> 00:42:34,166
Who's that?

855
00:42:34,250 --> 00:42:37,791
- Oh, Mrs. Chamberlain,
Mrs. Augustus Chamberlain.

856
00:42:37,875 --> 00:42:39,500
- She seems to know
as few people as I do.

857
00:42:39,583 --> 00:42:41,833
- Oh, I think she knows
a good many of the women here.

858
00:42:41,916 --> 00:42:43,458
- They just don't want
to know her.

859
00:42:43,541 --> 00:42:45,125
Aurora.

860
00:42:45,208 --> 00:42:47,625
Aunt Ada. You are good.

861
00:42:47,708 --> 00:42:49,916
- Nonsense.
- How is Aunt Agnes?

862
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,791
- Is she coming?
- I am her ambassadress.

863
00:42:52,875 --> 00:42:56,083
And this is Miss Marian Brook,
our late brother's daughter.

864
00:42:56,166 --> 00:42:57,791
How do you do, Miss Brook?

865
00:42:57,875 --> 00:43:00,416
You know, my uncle was married
to your aunt,

866
00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:03,583
and I think we're cousins
anyway through the Livingstons.

867
00:43:03,666 --> 00:43:05,125
Are you in New York for long?

868
00:43:05,208 --> 00:43:07,166
- Marian has come
to live with us,

869
00:43:07,250 --> 00:43:08,958
and she wants to help out
with the charity,

870
00:43:09,041 --> 00:43:10,291
if she can be useful.

871
00:43:10,375 --> 00:43:12,333
- Why, this is manna
from heaven.

872
00:43:12,416 --> 00:43:14,583
I'll send a note
this very afternoon.

873
00:43:17,250 --> 00:43:18,375
I'm so sorry.

874
00:43:18,458 --> 00:43:21,916
Uh, this is Miss Brook,
Miss Marian Brook.

875
00:43:24,291 --> 00:43:26,125
- Mrs. Russell
and Miss Russell.

876
00:43:26,208 --> 00:43:27,958
We are neighbors, I think.

877
00:43:28,041 --> 00:43:29,458
Of course we are.

878
00:43:29,541 --> 00:43:32,125
- Not that splendid new palace
right on the Avenue.

879
00:43:32,208 --> 00:43:33,666
The very one.

880
00:43:33,750 --> 00:43:35,458
- I was looking up
at those rows of windows

881
00:43:35,541 --> 00:43:37,625
only this morning wondering
what lies behind them.

882
00:43:37,708 --> 00:43:39,625
- Then you must cross the road
and see.

883
00:43:39,708 --> 00:43:41,583
Isn't that so, Gladys?

884
00:43:41,666 --> 00:43:43,416
- If Miss Brook
could spare the time.

885
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:45,375
Of course.

886
00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:47,500
I think we should go in.

887
00:43:56,791 --> 00:43:58,125
- Don't tell Aunt Agnes
they were here.

888
00:43:58,208 --> 00:43:59,708
She'd be livid with me.

889
00:43:59,791 --> 00:44:01,250
She'll find out.

890
00:44:01,333 --> 00:44:03,375
- I feel rather sorry
for the girl.

891
00:44:03,458 --> 00:44:06,166
- I liked them.
- That's not the point.

892
00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:08,250
- What is the point?
- Let's face it, Aunt Ada.

893
00:44:08,333 --> 00:44:11,333
We need money, and you know
how much those women give

894
00:44:11,416 --> 00:44:13,458
when they want to get in.

895
00:44:13,541 --> 00:44:15,166
- There's a price
for that, Aurora,

896
00:44:15,250 --> 00:44:17,375
and it's no good thinking
you won't have to pay it.

897
00:44:23,416 --> 00:44:24,791
Who is that?

898
00:44:26,375 --> 00:44:27,458
That's Mrs. Chamberlain.

899
00:44:30,291 --> 00:44:32,583
I don't understand you, sir.

900
00:44:32,666 --> 00:44:35,750
You want to throw money away
just so you can ruin me?

901
00:44:35,833 --> 00:44:37,916
- That's not
how I would put it.

902
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,750
- You intend to build
a new line

903
00:44:39,833 --> 00:44:41,125
right alongside my own

904
00:44:41,208 --> 00:44:43,583
all the way
from Cleveland to Toledo

905
00:44:43,666 --> 00:44:45,583
just to put me out of business.

906
00:44:45,666 --> 00:44:48,750
- I need that stretch,
and I want to control Sandusky.

907
00:44:48,833 --> 00:44:50,625
Sandusky?

908
00:44:50,708 --> 00:44:54,500
What the hell's Sandusky beyond
a bunch of tents and shanties?

909
00:44:54,583 --> 00:44:56,208
- Sandusky can be
an important city

910
00:44:56,291 --> 00:44:57,791
now the railroad
passes through,

911
00:44:57,875 --> 00:44:59,291
and I want it to be my city.

912
00:44:59,375 --> 00:45:01,833
- Then buy the track
that already exists

913
00:45:01,916 --> 00:45:04,041
and save yourself thousands.

914
00:45:04,125 --> 00:45:07,041
- But you turned me down,
twice.

915
00:45:07,125 --> 00:45:08,333
I turned down your offer

916
00:45:08,416 --> 00:45:10,416
because I thought
you'd come back with more.

917
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:12,791
It's called negotiation.

918
00:45:12,875 --> 00:45:14,708
Not in my book, Mr. Thorburn.

919
00:45:14,791 --> 00:45:16,625
You refused my bid,

920
00:45:16,708 --> 00:45:19,541
and now I will build a new line
alongside yours.

921
00:45:19,625 --> 00:45:22,333
Which would wipe me out.

922
00:45:22,416 --> 00:45:24,458
- I'm afraid that'll be
a consequence, yes,

923
00:45:24,541 --> 00:45:26,583
but it is not
my principal intention.

924
00:45:26,666 --> 00:45:28,458
Oh, isn't it?

925
00:45:28,541 --> 00:45:30,875
Well, thank the Lord.

926
00:45:30,958 --> 00:45:32,666
Is there anything else?

927
00:45:32,750 --> 00:45:34,750
Because I have
another appointment.

928
00:45:34,833 --> 00:45:36,083
So what you are saying is,

929
00:45:36,166 --> 00:45:37,583
you would rather
waste a fortune

930
00:45:37,666 --> 00:45:40,916
than pay an honest price
for a line already operating?

931
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,250
- But I do not see it
as a waste.

932
00:45:43,333 --> 00:45:44,666
Once people learn
that my second offer

933
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:45,875
is invariably my last,

934
00:45:45,958 --> 00:45:47,833
they won't, as a rule,
refuse me.

935
00:45:47,916 --> 00:45:50,250
Over the years, I expect
to save a lot more money

936
00:45:50,333 --> 00:45:52,083
than I am spending now.

937
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:53,833
You bastard.

938
00:45:55,583 --> 00:45:58,333
- I may be a bastard,
Mr. Thorburn,

939
00:45:58,416 --> 00:46:00,333
but you are a fool,

940
00:46:00,416 --> 00:46:04,000
and of the two,
I think I know which I prefer.

941
00:46:06,458 --> 00:46:08,375
Now, good day to you, sir.

942
00:46:22,208 --> 00:46:24,083
<i>- Do you often come</i>
<i>to Newport, Miss Astor?</i>

943
00:46:24,166 --> 00:46:25,250
I will.

944
00:46:25,333 --> 00:46:27,583
My parents bought a house here
last year, Beechwood.

945
00:46:27,666 --> 00:46:29,125
They've nearly finished
the renovations,

946
00:46:29,208 --> 00:46:30,375
so I suppose
I'll be here a lot.

947
00:46:30,458 --> 00:46:32,625
- Oh, was there much to do
to the place?

948
00:46:32,708 --> 00:46:34,458
- Well, obviously, my mother
couldn't live in a house

949
00:46:34,541 --> 00:46:36,208
- without a ballroom.

950
00:46:36,291 --> 00:46:37,208
You may laugh,

951
00:46:37,291 --> 00:46:39,791
but as my mother
never tires of pointing out,

952
00:46:39,875 --> 00:46:41,083
our future success in New York

953
00:46:41,166 --> 00:46:44,208
depends entirely on the support
and approval of Mrs. Astor.

954
00:46:44,291 --> 00:46:45,708
- Mm.
- I'm afraid it's true.

955
00:46:45,791 --> 00:46:48,708
- She is quite a force.
- A force for good, I hope.

956
00:46:48,791 --> 00:46:51,708
- Well, a force
to be reckoned with.

957
00:46:51,791 --> 00:46:53,083
- The butler
was looking for you.

958
00:46:53,166 --> 00:46:55,708
- Ah, he found me.
He had a letter from my mother.

959
00:46:55,791 --> 00:46:57,750
She wrote that a cousin
has come to live with them

960
00:46:57,833 --> 00:47:00,166
while I've been away,
Miss Marian Brook.

961
00:47:00,250 --> 00:47:01,166
Mm.

962
00:47:01,250 --> 00:47:02,708
- So that is something
to look forward to.

963
00:47:02,791 --> 00:47:04,625
A dumpy spinster
with a face like a cabbage

964
00:47:04,708 --> 00:47:06,541
and a figure to match.

965
00:47:08,708 --> 00:47:10,416
We're going into dinner,
but before we do,

966
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:12,666
I want to warn you
that when you return,

967
00:47:12,750 --> 00:47:14,291
you will find
tables have been set up

968
00:47:14,375 --> 00:47:16,875
for the game of Cinch,
and you are all playing.

969
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,083
- But suppose
we don't know how.

970
00:47:20,166 --> 00:47:21,708
- Then you will learn
during dinner.

971
00:47:23,833 --> 00:47:26,125
Cinch? Do we really have to?

972
00:47:26,208 --> 00:47:28,416
I'd say there's no escape.

973
00:47:37,791 --> 00:47:42,375
- I'm so sorry that got torn.
- It wasn't your fault.

974
00:47:42,458 --> 00:47:45,125
- How was your excursion?
- So-so.

975
00:47:45,208 --> 00:47:48,583
At least she brought me
some of my clothes.

976
00:47:48,666 --> 00:47:50,708
What are the staff here like?

977
00:47:50,791 --> 00:47:55,375
- Nice on the whole,
with one or two exceptions.

978
00:47:56,458 --> 00:47:58,208
I ought to go down
and say hello.

979
00:47:58,291 --> 00:47:59,833
Marian?

980
00:47:59,916 --> 00:48:01,583
Ah.

981
00:48:02,875 --> 00:48:04,791
Marian.

982
00:48:04,875 --> 00:48:06,916
- I've decided
to give an at home.

983
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,125
- And what does that mean?
- You know perfectly well.

984
00:48:09,208 --> 00:48:11,291
I'll send cards saying
we'll receive after dinner

985
00:48:11,375 --> 00:48:14,291
on such and such an evening,
and they're welcome to look in.

986
00:48:14,375 --> 00:48:15,458
Who are they?

987
00:48:15,541 --> 00:48:16,500
Mrs. Fane was telling me

988
00:48:16,583 --> 00:48:18,291
how curious people are
about the house.

989
00:48:18,375 --> 00:48:19,666
They want our money, Bertha.

990
00:48:19,750 --> 00:48:22,041
- It's a good cause.
- I'm sure.

991
00:48:22,125 --> 00:48:23,375
And I'm glad
if you'd like to donate,

992
00:48:23,458 --> 00:48:24,625
but please
don't deceive yourself

993
00:48:24,708 --> 00:48:26,208
that their interest in us
is something more.

994
00:48:26,291 --> 00:48:28,041
- George, we have
to start somewhere.

995
00:48:28,125 --> 00:48:29,833
Everyone calls
on Mrs. Vanderbilt now.

996
00:48:29,916 --> 00:48:30,875
They're seen everywhere.

997
00:48:30,958 --> 00:48:32,125
- What's that
got to do with it?

998
00:48:32,208 --> 00:48:33,666
- When his grandfather
arrived in New York,

999
00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:34,750
no one would go near him.

1000
00:48:34,833 --> 00:48:37,083
- That was half a century ago.
What are you saying?

1001
00:48:37,166 --> 00:48:38,416
We have to keep this up
for 50 years,

1002
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:39,750
and then someone may drop by?

1003
00:48:39,833 --> 00:48:42,333
- Things move faster nowadays.
- That's a relief.

1004
00:48:42,416 --> 00:48:43,958
- I think what father means
is that we--

1005
00:48:44,041 --> 00:48:45,166
They want to see this house.

1006
00:48:45,250 --> 00:48:46,125
They've watched it going up,

1007
00:48:46,208 --> 00:48:47,500
and now they'd like
to see inside.

1008
00:48:47,583 --> 00:48:48,833
- It doesn't make them
your friends.

1009
00:48:48,916 --> 00:48:51,500
- I'm not asking them
to dine or dance.

1010
00:48:51,583 --> 00:48:52,708
I won't use the ballroom.

1011
00:48:52,791 --> 00:48:54,250
I'll save that
for another time.

1012
00:48:54,333 --> 00:48:56,000
I just want them to look in,
and I don't think

1013
00:48:56,083 --> 00:48:57,291
they'll be able to resist.

1014
00:48:57,375 --> 00:48:59,000
Church, please tell Mrs. Bruce.

1015
00:48:59,083 --> 00:49:00,666
Yes, ma'am.

1016
00:49:00,750 --> 00:49:02,000
- Is it true Miss Ada
and Miss Marian

1017
00:49:02,083 --> 00:49:03,958
met Mrs. Russell
from across the road

1018
00:49:04,041 --> 00:49:05,208
at that charity event?

1019
00:49:05,291 --> 00:49:06,291
How do you know that?

1020
00:49:06,375 --> 00:49:07,791
- I saw one of their footmen
in the street,

1021
00:49:07,875 --> 00:49:10,000
and he was talking about it.

1022
00:49:10,083 --> 00:49:11,208
Miss Armstrong?

1023
00:49:11,291 --> 00:49:12,333
I don't think I should say.

1024
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:14,291
- Don't tell me you're having
a fit of discretion,

1025
00:49:14,375 --> 00:49:15,458
Miss Armstrong.

1026
00:49:15,541 --> 00:49:17,625
- I don't understand.
Why does it matter?

1027
00:49:17,708 --> 00:49:20,416
- It'll matter when
Mrs. Van Rhijn hears about it.

1028
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:22,208
- Oh, she'll have to give in
one day.

1029
00:49:22,291 --> 00:49:23,583
Why?

1030
00:49:23,666 --> 00:49:25,041
- Well, because they own
the future,

1031
00:49:25,125 --> 00:49:26,583
men like Mr. Russell,

1032
00:49:26,666 --> 00:49:28,708
and Mrs. Van Rhijn will have
to come to terms with it

1033
00:49:28,791 --> 00:49:30,541
sooner or later,
stands to reason.

1034
00:49:30,625 --> 00:49:31,791
- What will you do
if she doesn't?

1035
00:49:31,875 --> 00:49:35,166
- Me?
Nothing, I guess.

1036
00:49:35,250 --> 00:49:36,291
Oh, I see.

1037
00:49:36,375 --> 00:49:38,083
You spoke so definitely,
I thought you had

1038
00:49:38,166 --> 00:49:40,708
some course of action
planned in protest.

1039
00:49:40,791 --> 00:49:44,166
- No, Mr. Bannister.
- No, and don't you forget it.

1040
00:49:46,083 --> 00:49:48,500
- But what is the scale
of this at home to be?

1041
00:49:48,583 --> 00:49:50,666
- You can talk it through
with the mistress tomorrow.

1042
00:49:50,750 --> 00:49:53,166
- If they come, it will
only be out of curiosity

1043
00:49:53,250 --> 00:49:54,208
to see the house.

1044
00:49:54,291 --> 00:49:55,583
What makes you say that?

1045
00:49:55,666 --> 00:49:57,666
- The master is successful,
isn't he?

1046
00:49:57,750 --> 00:50:00,375
People want to know you
when you're a success.

1047
00:50:00,458 --> 00:50:03,000
It's when you fail
they turn their backs.

1048
00:50:03,041 --> 00:50:05,083
- You sound rather bitter,
Mr. Watson.

1049
00:50:05,166 --> 00:50:06,791
Oh, just stating the fact.

1050
00:50:06,875 --> 00:50:08,875
- Are you keeping
something from us?

1051
00:50:08,958 --> 00:50:10,583
- No.
- Come, Miss Turner.

1052
00:50:10,666 --> 00:50:12,375
There is no need
to put him on the spot.

1053
00:50:12,458 --> 00:50:14,041
- I don't need protection,
Mrs. Bruce,

1054
00:50:14,125 --> 00:50:15,291
thank you.

1055
00:50:15,375 --> 00:50:16,625
I've nothing to hide.

1056
00:50:16,708 --> 00:50:18,291
Well, if that is true,

1057
00:50:18,375 --> 00:50:20,708
you must be
a very unusual person.

1058
00:50:48,083 --> 00:50:49,083
Welcome home, Mr. Larry.

1059
00:50:49,166 --> 00:50:50,250
I hope you had
a pleasant journey.

1060
00:50:50,333 --> 00:50:52,458
- Yes, thank you.
It was very nice.

1061
00:50:54,875 --> 00:50:56,291
- Pumpkin!
Come back here!

1062
00:50:56,375 --> 00:50:57,333
Pumpkin!

1063
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:00,583
Whoa!

1064
00:51:00,666 --> 00:51:02,208
Get out of the way!

1065
00:51:03,708 --> 00:51:05,333
Good heavens, that was brave.

1066
00:51:05,416 --> 00:51:06,916
- Anyone would have
done the same.

1067
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,125
I doubt it,

1068
00:51:08,208 --> 00:51:10,375
or there'd be bodies
up and down Fifth Avenue.

1069
00:51:11,833 --> 00:51:14,375
- Are you a Van Rhijn?
- Almost.

1070
00:51:14,458 --> 00:51:17,458
Mrs. Van Rhijn is my aunt.
I'm Marian Brook.

1071
00:51:17,541 --> 00:51:20,541
- Oscar van Rhijn's cousin?
- Yes.

1072
00:51:20,625 --> 00:51:23,750
- Oh, you're not
as he described you.

1073
00:51:23,833 --> 00:51:25,750
Uh, I'm Larry Russell.

1074
00:51:25,833 --> 00:51:27,208
Ah.

1075
00:51:27,291 --> 00:51:28,666
Well, you'd better tell them

1076
00:51:28,750 --> 00:51:30,625
to keep him under control
in future.

1077
00:51:30,708 --> 00:51:32,833
- Nobody can keep Pumpkin
under control,

1078
00:51:32,916 --> 00:51:34,833
not for very long anyway.

1079
00:51:34,916 --> 00:51:38,166
- Miss Brook.
- Mr. Russell.

1080
00:51:47,250 --> 00:51:49,791
- Thank you, Church.
There's a good man.

1081
00:51:49,875 --> 00:51:51,625
Has my trunk arrived
from college?

1082
00:51:51,708 --> 00:51:54,333
- It has, and it's
been unpacked, Mr. Larry.

1083
00:51:54,416 --> 00:51:57,458
- Hello, there.
How is everything?

1084
00:51:57,541 --> 00:51:59,291
Much as usual,

1085
00:51:59,375 --> 00:52:02,125
except that Mother has decided
to give her first soirée.

1086
00:52:02,208 --> 00:52:03,583
There you are, dear.

1087
00:52:03,666 --> 00:52:06,958
- Have you had a lovely time?
- Lovely enough.

1088
00:52:07,041 --> 00:52:08,083
- You should have
your own valet

1089
00:52:08,166 --> 00:52:09,291
now you're down from Harvard.

1090
00:52:09,375 --> 00:52:10,875
It's not fair to burden Church.

1091
00:52:10,958 --> 00:52:13,166
- I gather we are going
to christen the new house.

1092
00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:15,375
- Just a few people calling in,
but I think it's time.

1093
00:52:15,458 --> 00:52:16,708
How many are coming?

1094
00:52:16,791 --> 00:52:18,083
- It's hard to say
if they don't accept

1095
00:52:18,166 --> 00:52:19,666
in a formal way,
but I think if we cater

1096
00:52:19,750 --> 00:52:21,583
for 200, it's probably safe.

1097
00:52:21,666 --> 00:52:22,708
Wow.

1098
00:52:22,791 --> 00:52:25,208
- I thought you'd like to ask
some friends of yours.

1099
00:52:25,291 --> 00:52:26,250
Such as?

1100
00:52:26,333 --> 00:52:27,958
- Such as Mrs. Fish
or the Goelets

1101
00:52:28,041 --> 00:52:29,333
or that nice Miss Astor.

1102
00:52:29,416 --> 00:52:30,541
I hardly know them.

1103
00:52:30,625 --> 00:52:32,541
I was only there
to make up numbers.

1104
00:52:32,625 --> 00:52:34,375
Are you inviting
Mrs. Van Rhijn?

1105
00:52:34,458 --> 00:52:36,125
- Maybe.
Now go and wash.

1106
00:52:36,208 --> 00:52:38,333
We'll have luncheon
in a minute.

1107
00:52:50,166 --> 00:52:52,291
- Why do you bring
that beastly dog?

1108
00:52:52,375 --> 00:52:55,041
Dogs are supposed to run
alongside carriages,

1109
00:52:55,125 --> 00:52:56,416
not travel in them.

1110
00:52:56,500 --> 00:52:59,750
- Oh, I think we must make
an exception for Pumpkin.

1111
00:52:59,833 --> 00:53:03,166
- I've asked Oscar for tea.
It's time he met you.

1112
00:53:03,250 --> 00:53:05,916
He'll have a friend with him,
John Adams.

1113
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,333
That's nice.

1114
00:53:07,416 --> 00:53:09,916
- This John is Quincy Adams'
great-grandson.

1115
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,625
You will call him Mr. Adams,

1116
00:53:11,708 --> 00:53:14,083
and wear
one of your new dresses.

1117
00:53:14,166 --> 00:53:15,708
I almost forgot.

1118
00:53:15,791 --> 00:53:17,541
Bannister gave me this
as I was leaving.

1119
00:53:17,625 --> 00:53:19,583
A footman left it
just before we came down.

1120
00:53:19,666 --> 00:53:21,625
It's from Mrs. Russell.

1121
00:53:21,708 --> 00:53:23,875
It's addressed to you,
as well, Marian.

1122
00:53:23,958 --> 00:53:27,708
Mrs. Van Rhijn, Miss Brook,
Miss Marian Brook.

1123
00:53:27,791 --> 00:53:29,541
- She's clearly had lessons
in etiquette.

1124
00:53:29,625 --> 00:53:31,041
- She's trying
to be neighborly.

1125
00:53:31,125 --> 00:53:34,666
- It's an invitation.
- Addressed to us?

1126
00:53:34,750 --> 00:53:37,333
- They were bound
to entertain soon.

1127
00:53:37,416 --> 00:53:38,791
They can't have built
that great house

1128
00:53:38,875 --> 00:53:40,500
to sit by the fire and read.

1129
00:53:40,583 --> 00:53:42,750
- Well, let them entertain
their own sort.

1130
00:53:42,833 --> 00:53:44,833
Heaven knows there are plenty
to choose from.

1131
00:53:46,375 --> 00:53:47,958
- Aunt Agnes,
I have a question.

1132
00:53:48,041 --> 00:53:50,125
Who is
Mrs. Augustus Chamberlain?

1133
00:53:51,708 --> 00:53:53,625
- Where have you heard
that name?

1134
00:53:53,708 --> 00:53:56,583
- Mrs. Chamberlain was at
Mrs. Fane's charity gathering.

1135
00:53:56,666 --> 00:53:59,583
- Was she, by heavens?
Ada, who else was there?

1136
00:53:59,666 --> 00:54:01,916
Pickpockets?
Newly released criminals?

1137
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,083
What was Aurora thinking?

1138
00:54:04,166 --> 00:54:07,250
- One must remember
that the point of the exercise

1139
00:54:07,333 --> 00:54:08,708
is to raise money.

1140
00:54:08,791 --> 00:54:10,791
- That is no excuse
for risking the reputation

1141
00:54:10,875 --> 00:54:12,583
of every lady in the room.

1142
00:54:12,666 --> 00:54:16,000
Marian, when and if you see
Mrs. Chamberlain again,

1143
00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:17,583
you are to turn your face away.

1144
00:54:17,666 --> 00:54:21,083
- Is that clear?
- Very.

1145
00:54:21,166 --> 00:54:23,875
So what about
Mrs. Russell's party?

1146
00:54:23,958 --> 00:54:27,125
- I presume we're not going.
- Are you mad?

1147
00:54:33,083 --> 00:54:34,666
- Would you please see
that Mrs. Morris...

1148
00:54:34,750 --> 00:54:35,708
That Mrs. Fane...

1149
00:54:35,791 --> 00:54:37,083
That Mrs. Astor gets this?

1150
00:54:38,208 --> 00:54:40,458
I'm afraid Mrs. Fish
is not at home, madam.

1151
00:54:40,541 --> 00:54:41,666
Really?

1152
00:54:41,750 --> 00:54:43,708
Only she knows my son,
Larry Russell.

1153
00:54:43,791 --> 00:54:46,333
He was just staying with her
in Newport.

1154
00:54:46,416 --> 00:54:48,291
She's not at home, madam.

1155
00:54:48,375 --> 00:54:52,541
- But you'll give her my card
and this envelope?

1156
00:54:52,625 --> 00:54:55,000
- You'll say I called?
- Of course, madam.

1157
00:55:18,708 --> 00:55:21,125
- Thank you, gentlemen.
That's all.

1158
00:55:25,875 --> 00:55:27,666
Tell Atkins no.

1159
00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:31,000
Warn Schultz I'm interested,
but not yet convinced.

1160
00:55:31,083 --> 00:55:32,375
Give Brennan till 10:00
tomorrow morning,

1161
00:55:32,458 --> 00:55:34,000
- or the deal's off.
- Very good.

1162
00:55:34,083 --> 00:55:35,666
- Mr. Stanford White
is outside.

1163
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:37,041
- Oh, bring him in.
Bring him in.

1164
00:55:37,125 --> 00:55:38,583
Thank you, Clay.

1165
00:55:41,500 --> 00:55:43,750
Mr. White,
sorry to drag you here

1166
00:55:43,833 --> 00:55:45,625
when no doubt
you've had a busy day.

1167
00:55:45,708 --> 00:55:47,000
- I hope nothing's wrong
with the house.

1168
00:55:47,083 --> 00:55:49,750
- Oh, quite the contrary.
It's working splendidly.

1169
00:55:49,833 --> 00:55:52,458
So splendidly, in fact,
that Mrs. Russell has decided

1170
00:55:52,541 --> 00:55:54,625
it is time we began
to entertain.

1171
00:55:54,708 --> 00:55:56,583
That's what it was built for.

1172
00:55:56,666 --> 00:55:58,416
- You will receive a card
from her.

1173
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:01,125
She feels our guests will be
interested in the place.

1174
00:56:01,208 --> 00:56:03,541
She'd like you there
to answer questions.

1175
00:56:03,625 --> 00:56:05,041
- I should be honored,
of course.

1176
00:56:06,833 --> 00:56:08,625
I hope it's a success.

1177
00:56:08,708 --> 00:56:11,000
- Well, people are curious
about the house,

1178
00:56:11,083 --> 00:56:12,416
they want your money
for pet causes,

1179
00:56:12,500 --> 00:56:14,375
and your children
are both good-looking.

1180
00:56:14,458 --> 00:56:16,041
I'd say it will be.

1181
00:56:16,125 --> 00:56:18,666
Can you help her, Mr. White?

1182
00:56:18,750 --> 00:56:21,458
- How?
I'm not fashionable.

1183
00:56:21,541 --> 00:56:23,166
But I'm glad to be able
to thank you properly

1184
00:56:23,250 --> 00:56:24,875
for taking a chance on me.

1185
00:56:24,958 --> 00:56:27,000
- You have Mrs. Russell
to thank, not me.

1186
00:56:27,083 --> 00:56:29,916
Whatever her faults, she has
imagination and taste...

1187
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,625
- Oh.
- And nerve.

1188
00:56:32,708 --> 00:56:34,708
- She will need all three
in New York.

1189
00:56:39,541 --> 00:56:41,041
- I've left them
for you to sign.

1190
00:56:41,125 --> 00:56:42,958
- Thank you, Miss Scott.
- Hello, Mother.

1191
00:56:43,041 --> 00:56:44,583
The wanderer has returned.

1192
00:56:44,666 --> 00:56:46,916
- You took your time
coming to tell me.

1193
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,750
This is Miss Scott
who is helping with my post.

1194
00:56:49,833 --> 00:56:52,458
- My son, Mr. Van Rhijn.
- Hello.

1195
00:56:52,541 --> 00:56:53,958
I'll leave you.

1196
00:56:57,625 --> 00:56:59,791
Look at her work.

1197
00:56:59,875 --> 00:57:01,958
- Where's Mr. Adams?
- I'm meeting him here.

1198
00:57:02,041 --> 00:57:03,666
Why did you want me
to bring him?

1199
00:57:03,750 --> 00:57:04,875
You should have come earlier.

1200
00:57:04,958 --> 00:57:06,166
You've been home for ages,

1201
00:57:06,250 --> 00:57:07,708
and you've never even met
your cousin.

1202
00:57:07,791 --> 00:57:09,958
Well, I'm here now.

1203
00:57:10,041 --> 00:57:12,208
- How long will she be staying?
- Why?

1204
00:57:12,291 --> 00:57:14,500
- Well, I'll already have
Aunt Ada around my neck,

1205
00:57:14,583 --> 00:57:17,000
that's if anything
should happen to you.

1206
00:57:17,083 --> 00:57:19,500
- Why must you always
sound so sharp?

1207
00:57:19,583 --> 00:57:21,000
- I presume
I'm expected to keep

1208
00:57:21,083 --> 00:57:22,416
the house running indefinitely.

1209
00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:23,958
- I shouldn't worry
about Marian.

1210
00:57:24,041 --> 00:57:25,833
She'll be gone
long before I am.

1211
00:57:25,916 --> 00:57:28,708
- What makes you so sure?
- Marian, my dear.

1212
00:57:30,333 --> 00:57:33,166
I don't believe you have
ever met my son, Oscar.

1213
00:57:33,250 --> 00:57:34,458
Mr. Van Rhijn,

1214
00:57:34,541 --> 00:57:36,666
I was beginning to think
you were only a dream.

1215
00:57:36,750 --> 00:57:38,875
- Should we kiss?
We are cousins.

1216
00:57:38,958 --> 00:57:41,000
Let's shake hands for now.

1217
00:57:41,083 --> 00:57:43,333
- But I hope
you'll call me Oscar.

1218
00:57:43,416 --> 00:57:44,708
He's been in Europe.

1219
00:57:44,791 --> 00:57:47,041
I know. How I envy you.

1220
00:57:47,125 --> 00:57:49,541
- It was mostly dull meetings
and dusty boardrooms.

1221
00:57:49,625 --> 00:57:52,000
- Oh, I can't believe that.
- Mr. Adams.

1222
00:57:53,541 --> 00:57:55,583
- Mr. Adams, how good of you
to drop by.

1223
00:57:55,666 --> 00:57:57,291
- What can we give you?
- Nothing.

1224
00:57:57,375 --> 00:57:59,375
Thank you, Mrs. Van Rhijn.

1225
00:57:59,458 --> 00:58:02,541
- May I present Mr. Adams,
my dear.

1226
00:58:02,625 --> 00:58:04,291
Miss Marian Brook is my niece.

1227
00:58:04,375 --> 00:58:06,333
She has just arrived
in the city.

1228
00:58:06,416 --> 00:58:08,375
- Is it your first visit
to New York?

1229
00:58:08,458 --> 00:58:11,083
- It's my first visit
to almost anywhere.

1230
00:58:11,166 --> 00:58:13,166
Can you help me
with what I should see?

1231
00:58:13,250 --> 00:58:14,333
- I'm sure Mrs. Van Rhijn
will have

1232
00:58:14,416 --> 00:58:16,750
a comprehensive list
of museums.

1233
00:58:18,250 --> 00:58:20,958
- So the Russells have moved
into their house in my absence.

1234
00:58:21,041 --> 00:58:22,041
Don't remind me.

1235
00:58:22,125 --> 00:58:23,708
- I ran into the son
in Newport.

1236
00:58:23,791 --> 00:58:26,208
He's nice enough, and I gather
there's a daughter.

1237
00:58:26,291 --> 00:58:28,916
- I believe so.
- I should like to meet her.

1238
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,083
- Are you going to their soirée?
- Of course not.

1239
00:58:31,166 --> 00:58:33,583
- Don't say such things.
- Mama, you are incorrigible.

1240
00:58:33,666 --> 00:58:35,833
- I take that
as the highest praise.

1241
00:58:37,750 --> 00:58:39,375
I need four more pallets.

1242
00:58:41,083 --> 00:58:43,458
- Rice stacked.
I'll be right back.

1243
00:58:43,541 --> 00:58:44,458
This way.

1244
00:58:55,166 --> 00:58:57,166
- She said 200,
but I must be ready

1245
00:58:57,250 --> 00:59:00,583
with more at a moment's notice
if we go over that figure.

1246
00:59:00,666 --> 00:59:01,750
So what's wrong?

1247
00:59:01,833 --> 00:59:04,250
- I'm not making
ham sandwiches.

1248
00:59:04,333 --> 00:59:05,875
I'm not making toast.

1249
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,791
- I sympathize, monsieur,
but we have our orders.

1250
00:59:08,875 --> 00:59:11,458
- Madam does not understand how
these things should be managed.

1251
00:59:11,541 --> 00:59:13,791
- Ooh.
- I beg your pardon?

1252
00:59:13,875 --> 00:59:16,291
- You know as well as I do
she isn't one of them.

1253
00:59:16,375 --> 00:59:18,833
I used to work
for Mrs. Griswold on 50th.

1254
00:59:18,916 --> 00:59:20,291
That's why Madam hired me,

1255
00:59:20,375 --> 00:59:22,666
to teach her the ways
of the old people,

1256
00:59:22,750 --> 00:59:25,125
but Mrs. Griswold wouldn't
have come near this house.

1257
00:59:25,208 --> 00:59:27,125
- Then she was
a very stupid woman.

1258
00:59:27,208 --> 00:59:29,416
- The mistress is not a player
in the great game,

1259
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:30,666
whatever she says.

1260
00:59:30,750 --> 00:59:33,500
- Well, Miss Turner, I hope
you can overcome your distaste

1261
00:59:33,583 --> 00:59:34,750
and give the mistress
a helping hand

1262
00:59:34,833 --> 00:59:36,500
with her clothes
for the evening.

1263
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,541
Surely things are changing.

1264
00:59:41,625 --> 00:59:44,625
- Not fast enough
for Mrs. Russell.

1265
00:59:44,708 --> 00:59:46,583
- You always act
as if you liked her.

1266
00:59:46,666 --> 00:59:48,625
When I have to.

1267
00:59:48,708 --> 00:59:50,833
She does not have the manner
of the real people,

1268
00:59:50,916 --> 00:59:52,333
and she cannot learn it.

1269
00:59:52,416 --> 00:59:54,666
Mrs. Griswold would see
through her in a moment,

1270
00:59:54,750 --> 00:59:56,500
in just a moment.

1271
00:59:56,583 --> 00:59:59,291
- If she was so wonderful,
why did you leave?

1272
00:59:59,375 --> 01:00:02,166
Or were you fired?

1273
01:00:02,250 --> 01:00:04,958
- She died, Mr. Watson,
of a heart attack

1274
01:00:05,041 --> 01:00:07,500
just as she was changing
for Mrs. Astor's ball.

1275
01:00:07,583 --> 01:00:09,916
It was very hard
on Mr. Griswold.

1276
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,458
- Because he was left
all alone.

1277
01:00:11,541 --> 01:00:13,958
- Because he wanted
to go to the ball.

1278
01:00:18,708 --> 01:00:21,875
- Oh, you're almost ready.
I should get changed.

1279
01:00:21,958 --> 01:00:22,958
There's no hurry.

1280
01:00:23,041 --> 01:00:24,333
I just want to be downstairs
to supervise

1281
01:00:24,416 --> 01:00:26,791
all the final details.

1282
01:00:26,875 --> 01:00:29,125
Oh, it feels as if
it's held on with nails.

1283
01:00:29,208 --> 01:00:30,416
You look superb.

1284
01:00:32,750 --> 01:00:34,291
So...

1285
01:00:34,375 --> 01:00:36,458
are you ready
for your trial by hospitality?

1286
01:00:36,541 --> 01:00:40,375
- Well, if I'm not ready now,
I never will be.

1287
01:00:40,458 --> 01:00:42,375
- What was it
your mother used to say?

1288
01:00:42,458 --> 01:00:44,000
"You are the only one
of my children

1289
01:00:44,083 --> 01:00:45,375
who is worthy of my dreams"?

1290
01:00:45,458 --> 01:00:47,625
- Much good
did those dreams do her.

1291
01:00:47,708 --> 01:00:50,375
She had nothing while she lived
and nothing when she died.

1292
01:00:50,458 --> 01:00:52,375
You loved her.

1293
01:00:52,458 --> 01:00:55,791
- That wasn't nothing.
- Thank you.

1294
01:00:55,875 --> 01:00:57,916
- Don't you think she'd be
proud of you this evening?

1295
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,875
- I wonder.
Ask me again at midnight.

1296
01:01:00,958 --> 01:01:03,666
- I wish you'd invited
some of the old crowd.

1297
01:01:03,750 --> 01:01:05,000
The house will be
full of strangers.

1298
01:01:05,083 --> 01:01:07,291
- We're headed in a different
direction now, George.

1299
01:01:07,375 --> 01:01:09,041
- We're joining a different club.
- Mm.

1300
01:01:09,125 --> 01:01:10,625
Even if they don't want us
to be members?

1301
01:01:10,708 --> 01:01:12,250
Why shouldn't we be members?

1302
01:01:12,333 --> 01:01:15,041
I'm tired of letting
all those dull and stupid women

1303
01:01:15,125 --> 01:01:17,083
dictate the way
we live our lives.

1304
01:01:17,166 --> 01:01:19,083
Why, you've done more
for this city in ten years

1305
01:01:19,166 --> 01:01:21,041
than their families
have achieved in centuries.

1306
01:01:21,125 --> 01:01:22,166
Things are changing, Bertha.

1307
01:01:22,250 --> 01:01:23,916
- They can't change
fast enough for me.

1308
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,875
And you've come a long way.

1309
01:01:25,958 --> 01:01:27,583
Even I can see that.

1310
01:01:27,666 --> 01:01:30,750
- I don't want to come
a long way.

1311
01:01:30,833 --> 01:01:33,875
I want to go all the way.

1312
01:01:33,958 --> 01:01:37,041
- I'd just like you
to be happy.

1313
01:01:37,125 --> 01:01:40,083
And I know my loving you
is not enough.

1314
01:01:40,166 --> 01:01:41,625
It's almost enough.

1315
01:01:47,833 --> 01:01:49,583
- I should go.
- Mm.

1316
01:01:49,666 --> 01:01:51,333
- Watson will be wondering
where I am.

1317
01:02:11,375 --> 01:02:13,666
Quite a spectacle, isn't it?

1318
01:02:13,750 --> 01:02:16,208
- Well, they sure are taking
a lot of trouble.

1319
01:02:17,875 --> 01:02:20,541
- It must seem hard
to miss the party,

1320
01:02:20,625 --> 01:02:22,416
but Agnes feels
so very strongly.

1321
01:02:22,500 --> 01:02:25,166
- She can't make me
dislike them.

1322
01:02:25,250 --> 01:02:27,625
- Nor would she want to.
- Yes, she would.

1323
01:02:29,666 --> 01:02:31,666
- Well, perhaps she would,
but I would not.

1324
01:02:36,083 --> 01:02:39,041
I'll see you downstairs.

1325
01:02:40,541 --> 01:02:42,500
You mustn't think harshly
of Agnes.

1326
01:02:42,583 --> 01:02:44,375
Her life has not
always been easy.

1327
01:02:44,458 --> 01:02:47,750
- Why did she hate
my father so?

1328
01:02:47,833 --> 01:02:49,958
He sold our family farms.

1329
01:02:50,041 --> 01:02:51,583
He sold the house
where we were born

1330
01:02:51,666 --> 01:02:54,666
and where we had lived
for a century and a half.

1331
01:02:54,750 --> 01:02:56,666
And then he just spent
the money.

1332
01:02:56,750 --> 01:02:58,666
He bought nothing.
He saved nothing.

1333
01:02:58,750 --> 01:03:01,041
He gave us,
his sisters, nothing.

1334
01:03:01,125 --> 01:03:03,541
- So she felt
he'd betrayed you both.

1335
01:03:03,625 --> 01:03:05,875
That's how it was for her.

1336
01:03:05,958 --> 01:03:08,583
You see, our father had
died quite young,

1337
01:03:08,666 --> 01:03:11,791
and we depended
on Henry entirely.

1338
01:03:11,875 --> 01:03:13,416
- So she wasn't
already married?

1339
01:03:13,500 --> 01:03:16,208
- No, but he'd proposed,
and so she felt

1340
01:03:16,291 --> 01:03:18,541
she had no choice.

1341
01:03:18,625 --> 01:03:21,750
Henry had let us down,
and there was nothing for it

1342
01:03:21,833 --> 01:03:23,875
but to marry Mr. Van Rhijn.

1343
01:03:23,958 --> 01:03:25,833
And he was not an easy man.

1344
01:03:28,750 --> 01:03:29,875
He was not a man

1345
01:03:29,958 --> 01:03:32,083
you would like
to be alone with.

1346
01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:39,000
All I ask is that
you give us a chance.

1347
01:03:39,083 --> 01:03:42,541
We are not as Henry
described us to you.

1348
01:03:42,625 --> 01:03:45,166
Please...

1349
01:03:45,250 --> 01:03:46,833
just give us a chance.

1350
01:03:56,750 --> 01:03:58,708
- Is everything
ready downstairs?

1351
01:03:58,791 --> 01:04:00,583
- They're all
rather excited, sir.

1352
01:04:00,666 --> 01:04:02,625
Been waiting to entertain
on a grand scale

1353
01:04:02,708 --> 01:04:03,916
since we got here.

1354
01:04:05,500 --> 01:04:08,083
- As long as we are
entertaining on a grand scale.

1355
01:04:13,166 --> 01:04:14,583
Take out the chrysanthemums.

1356
01:04:14,666 --> 01:04:16,416
I said specifically,
"No chrysanthemums."

1357
01:04:16,500 --> 01:04:17,625
Yes, ma'am.

1358
01:04:17,708 --> 01:04:19,541
- When are they laying
the carpet across the sidewalk?

1359
01:04:19,625 --> 01:04:21,041
They're doing it now, madam.

1360
01:04:21,125 --> 01:04:23,708
- And Monsieur Baudin
isn't too hysterical?

1361
01:04:23,791 --> 01:04:26,625
- Well...
- We should start dinner.

1362
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,208
Why don't you look in?

1363
01:04:32,291 --> 01:04:34,041
You needn't stay for long.

1364
01:04:34,125 --> 01:04:35,958
Aunt Agnes would have a fit.

1365
01:04:37,750 --> 01:04:39,000
Does she have to know?

1366
01:04:40,458 --> 01:04:41,333
I could wait downstairs

1367
01:04:41,416 --> 01:04:42,875
to make sure
you can get back in.

1368
01:04:45,250 --> 01:04:47,541
My fellow conspirator.

1369
01:04:50,750 --> 01:04:52,291
We must let them get in here.

1370
01:04:52,375 --> 01:04:55,083
They need to clear away
and start laying the supper.

1371
01:04:55,166 --> 01:04:57,625
- No cigars and brandy
for you, Father.

1372
01:04:57,708 --> 01:04:59,750
- We could go
to the smoking room.

1373
01:04:59,833 --> 01:05:01,208
- Is there anything
I can do, Mother?

1374
01:05:01,291 --> 01:05:03,250
- Go to bed.
- She's not a child.

1375
01:05:03,333 --> 01:05:05,375
So you keep telling me.

1376
01:05:05,458 --> 01:05:07,583
- Well, no one will mind
that she isn't officially out,

1377
01:05:07,666 --> 01:05:08,916
not in her own mother's house.

1378
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,250
- Why isn't she out, anyway?
She ought to be.

1379
01:05:11,333 --> 01:05:12,875
She should have made
her debut this year.

1380
01:05:12,958 --> 01:05:14,875
- I wish to present her
at a ball in this house,

1381
01:05:14,958 --> 01:05:16,875
and I'm not giving one until
I know we can fill the rooms.

1382
01:05:16,958 --> 01:05:18,791
- Let he stay, my dear.

1383
01:05:18,875 --> 01:05:20,083
If you're all
going to bully me--

1384
01:05:20,166 --> 01:05:21,750
I can help.

1385
01:05:21,833 --> 01:05:24,833
- Oh, very well.
Go and get changed.

1386
01:05:24,916 --> 01:05:27,375
- Church, tell them to come in.
- Very good, ma'am.

1387
01:05:38,416 --> 01:05:40,041
- I think I may go up
and lie down.

1388
01:05:40,125 --> 01:05:41,666
I've got rather a headache.

1389
01:05:41,750 --> 01:05:43,291
What about an early night?

1390
01:05:43,375 --> 01:05:45,166
- I'll see.
You wouldn't mind?

1391
01:05:45,250 --> 01:05:46,875
Not at all.

1392
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,500
Where's Marian?

1393
01:05:56,583 --> 01:05:59,083
- She's gone upstairs.
She has a headache.

1394
01:05:59,166 --> 01:06:02,541
She was asking earlier
why you disliked Henry so.

1395
01:06:04,208 --> 01:06:05,416
Did you tell her?

1396
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:08,708
- I did, but I tried
not to make it too vivid.

1397
01:06:08,791 --> 01:06:10,958
- She can be
so like him at times.

1398
01:06:12,500 --> 01:06:15,000
She speaks
and I hear Henry's voice,

1399
01:06:15,083 --> 01:06:17,500
challenging everything
just as he did.

1400
01:06:18,958 --> 01:06:21,041
And look how that turned out.

1401
01:06:21,125 --> 01:06:23,375
- Well, I like
her strong views.

1402
01:06:23,458 --> 01:06:25,291
I like her energy.

1403
01:06:26,416 --> 01:06:29,000
<i>Don't worry, Agnes,</i>
<i>she's clever.</i>

1404
01:06:29,083 --> 01:06:32,000
- <i>She'll learn the rules.</i>
<i>- Will she?</i>

1405
01:06:32,083 --> 01:06:34,333
<i>Revolutions are launched</i>
<i>by clever people</i>

1406
01:06:34,416 --> 01:06:37,666
<i>with strong views</i>
<i>and excess energy.</i>

1407
01:07:17,291 --> 01:07:20,583
- Thank you.
- Miss Brook, welcome.

1408
01:07:20,666 --> 01:07:22,291
If you'll come this way.

1409
01:07:28,375 --> 01:07:29,750
- Miss Brook.
- Ah.

1410
01:07:29,833 --> 01:07:31,958
- Miss Brook,
what a nice surprise.

1411
01:07:32,041 --> 01:07:33,666
Are your aunts with you?

1412
01:07:33,750 --> 01:07:35,916
- I'm afraid
they couldn't get away.

1413
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,125
- But you are made
of sterner stuff.

1414
01:07:38,208 --> 01:07:39,583
Ah, Larry.

1415
01:07:39,666 --> 01:07:41,125
May I present my son,
Larry Russell.

1416
01:07:41,208 --> 01:07:42,625
Miss Marian Brook.
You're neighbors.

1417
01:07:42,708 --> 01:07:43,625
You should know each other.

1418
01:07:43,708 --> 01:07:45,083
- Mrs. Fane.
- Oh, yes, thank you.

1419
01:07:45,166 --> 01:07:46,291
Excuse me.

1420
01:07:50,208 --> 01:07:52,916
- I hope the little dog
recovered from its shock.

1421
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,750
His near demise, you mean.

1422
01:07:54,833 --> 01:07:56,875
Don't worry.
He's very resilient.

1423
01:08:00,458 --> 01:08:03,750
- I guess I'm a bit early.
- I don't think so.

1424
01:08:03,833 --> 01:08:05,583
You see, Miss Brook,
my father's dollars

1425
01:08:05,666 --> 01:08:08,166
do not always have
the desired effect.

1426
01:08:08,250 --> 01:08:10,208
Usually, but not always.

1427
01:08:10,291 --> 01:08:12,375
- You don't seem to mind much.
- I don't.

1428
01:08:12,458 --> 01:08:14,666
These things
should happen naturally.

1429
01:08:14,750 --> 01:08:16,541
Unlike my dear mother,
I'm not a big believer

1430
01:08:16,625 --> 01:08:17,875
in forcing change.

1431
01:08:17,958 --> 01:08:20,625
- Then I suspect she and I
have more in common than we do.

1432
01:08:21,916 --> 01:08:24,166
- How are you enjoying
living with your aunts?

1433
01:08:24,250 --> 01:08:26,500
- They've taken me in,
so I should be grateful,

1434
01:08:26,583 --> 01:08:28,208
but we seem to disagree
on so many topics

1435
01:08:28,291 --> 01:08:30,625
that I'm sure we'll come
to blows in the end.

1436
01:08:30,708 --> 01:08:32,958
- Perhaps they'll educate you,
you'll educate them,

1437
01:08:33,041 --> 01:08:34,791
and you'll meet
somewhere in the middle.

1438
01:08:34,875 --> 01:08:37,458
- Hello, Miss Brook.
- Hello, Miss Russell.

1439
01:08:37,541 --> 01:08:38,458
Have you met?

1440
01:08:38,541 --> 01:08:41,375
- Yes, but you mustn't
tell my aunt.

1441
01:08:41,458 --> 01:08:43,000
Is Mr. Fane not with you?

1442
01:08:43,083 --> 01:08:44,791
He wanted to be very much,

1443
01:08:44,875 --> 01:08:47,083
but business has tied him
to his desk.

1444
01:08:47,166 --> 01:08:49,666
- And Mrs. Morris, she was
so curious about the house.

1445
01:08:49,750 --> 01:08:51,375
How she longed to come.

1446
01:08:51,458 --> 01:08:53,166
- But she couldn't
get away either?

1447
01:08:53,250 --> 01:08:54,541
Isn't it a shame?

1448
01:08:54,625 --> 01:08:56,166
A real shame when you think

1449
01:08:56,250 --> 01:08:58,541
of the check
you both want from me.

1450
01:08:58,625 --> 01:09:00,583
- I know, but I thought
if I came alone

1451
01:09:00,666 --> 01:09:03,875
and just stayed a few minutes,
then that might...

1452
01:09:03,958 --> 01:09:04,875
I mean--

1453
01:09:04,958 --> 01:09:07,416
- I know what you mean,
Mrs. Fane.

1454
01:09:07,500 --> 01:09:09,041
And please don't feel
you have to linger.

1455
01:09:09,125 --> 01:09:10,166
It's really not necessary.

1456
01:09:12,916 --> 01:09:15,250
Just go, Mrs. Fane.

1457
01:09:15,333 --> 01:09:16,666
Please go.

1458
01:09:25,750 --> 01:09:28,875
- I wonder if I might ask you
for a carriage across town.

1459
01:09:28,958 --> 01:09:30,333
- Yes, of course, madam.
Right away.

1460
01:09:30,416 --> 01:09:31,583
She wasn't here long.

1461
01:09:31,666 --> 01:09:34,083
I suppose Mother's made
another quarrel.

1462
01:09:34,166 --> 01:09:36,583
- I'm afraid
I can't stay either.

1463
01:09:36,666 --> 01:09:38,916
I just wanted to look in to pay
my respects to your parents.

1464
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,750
- I hope we can meet again.
- I'm sure we will.

1465
01:09:41,833 --> 01:09:43,625
- Let the three of us
be friends

1466
01:09:43,708 --> 01:09:45,416
in spite of everything.

1467
01:09:45,500 --> 01:09:46,875
Contra mundum.

1468
01:09:52,458 --> 01:09:53,875
Leaving already, Miss Brook?

1469
01:09:53,958 --> 01:09:56,666
- I'm afraid I must get back,
but thank you for including me.

1470
01:09:56,750 --> 01:09:58,875
For including you in what?

1471
01:09:58,958 --> 01:10:00,958
- Thank you for coming,
Miss Brook.

1472
01:10:04,083 --> 01:10:05,208
Who was that?

1473
01:10:05,291 --> 01:10:07,708
- Our neighbor,
Miss Marian Brook.

1474
01:10:07,791 --> 01:10:09,875
And there's no need
to be angry with her, my dear.

1475
01:10:09,958 --> 01:10:11,541
The aunts will have
forbidden her to come,

1476
01:10:11,625 --> 01:10:13,416
and she has chosen
to defy them.

1477
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:16,791
- But why must I be the enemy?
- Well, that's easy.

1478
01:10:16,875 --> 01:10:18,833
They have been in charge
since the "Mayflower" landed,

1479
01:10:18,916 --> 01:10:22,833
and now it's your turn,
because you are the future,

1480
01:10:22,916 --> 01:10:25,291
and if you are the future,
then they must be the past.

1481
01:10:25,375 --> 01:10:27,458
That's what frightens them.

1482
01:10:34,250 --> 01:10:36,791
- Miss Brook?
What are you doing here?

1483
01:10:36,875 --> 01:10:39,958
- Does Aunt Agnes know?
- No.

1484
01:10:40,041 --> 01:10:43,250
- And please don't give me away.
- I won't tell if you don't.

1485
01:10:43,333 --> 01:10:44,458
Good night.

1486
01:10:44,541 --> 01:10:48,250
I hope we meet again soon
in less foreign climes.

1487
01:11:28,250 --> 01:11:29,375
Oh.

1488
01:11:30,541 --> 01:11:32,666
I was just going up
to check on you.

1489
01:11:32,750 --> 01:11:34,500
- How is the headache?
- Much better.

1490
01:11:34,583 --> 01:11:36,916
- Quite gone, in fact.
- I'm glad.

1491
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,041
We should go up.

1492
01:11:39,125 --> 01:11:40,375
Come along, Ada.

1493
01:11:40,458 --> 01:11:42,708
It's long past your bedtime.

1494
01:11:42,791 --> 01:11:46,208
By the way, we have decided
to make you a modest allowance.

1495
01:11:46,291 --> 01:11:49,958
It won't be much, but you'll
have a little independence.

1496
01:11:50,041 --> 01:11:52,333
- But you've already given me
so many clothes.

1497
01:11:52,416 --> 01:11:55,083
- Fiddle-faddle.
No nonsense, please.

1498
01:11:59,083 --> 01:12:01,166
I don't deserve it, truly,

1499
01:12:01,250 --> 01:12:05,166
as I cannot promise to live
within Aunt Agnes' confines.

1500
01:12:05,250 --> 01:12:06,458
I understand.

1501
01:12:08,416 --> 01:12:10,333
I only ask

1502
01:12:10,416 --> 01:12:13,500
that you never break
your own moral code,

1503
01:12:13,583 --> 01:12:17,125
for that is the soundest guide
any of us can have.

1504
01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:21,166
How wise, Aunt Ada.

1505
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,416
- Please don't sound
quite so surprised.

1506
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,958
What will you do with it all?

1507
01:13:03,041 --> 01:13:05,291
- Church, get the kitchen staff
to box it up

1508
01:13:05,375 --> 01:13:06,541
and send a message
in the morning

1509
01:13:06,625 --> 01:13:08,125
to the Charity
Organization Society.

1510
01:13:08,208 --> 01:13:09,833
Ask them to collect it.

1511
01:13:09,916 --> 01:13:11,375
- I don't know
what the poor of New York

1512
01:13:11,458 --> 01:13:13,500
will make of lobster salad.

1513
01:13:18,541 --> 01:13:21,875
Thank you, Church.

1514
01:13:21,958 --> 01:13:24,125
Well, then, take it away.

1515
01:13:28,666 --> 01:13:32,458
- Cooking for paupers,
that's not what I'm used to.

1516
01:13:32,541 --> 01:13:34,250
- I dare say you're not used
to making supper

1517
01:13:34,333 --> 01:13:36,291
for guests who never turn up.

1518
01:13:36,375 --> 01:13:39,750
- The evening was a folly.
This house is a folly.

1519
01:13:39,833 --> 01:13:41,750
She's built a palace
to entertain the sort of people

1520
01:13:41,833 --> 01:13:43,166
who will never come here.

1521
01:13:43,250 --> 01:13:44,833
- Don't count her out
so quickly.

1522
01:13:44,916 --> 01:13:47,333
- I agree.
She knows what she wants.

1523
01:13:47,416 --> 01:13:48,750
Why shouldn't she try
to get it?

1524
01:13:48,833 --> 01:13:51,125
- It's nothing to me
if she fails or succeeds.

1525
01:13:51,208 --> 01:13:53,791
- Isn't it, Miss Turner?
You seem to take it personally.

1526
01:13:53,875 --> 01:13:56,291
- Failure's catchable,
Mr. Church.

1527
01:13:56,375 --> 01:13:58,333
It rubs off
if you're not careful.

1528
01:13:58,416 --> 01:14:00,916
And what about Mr. Russell?

1529
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,500
Is he a failure too?

1530
01:14:10,583 --> 01:14:11,833
I'll accept her payment,

1531
01:14:11,916 --> 01:14:14,166
and I'll stay for as long
as she wants me to.

1532
01:14:14,250 --> 01:14:15,958
I need the work,

1533
01:14:16,041 --> 01:14:18,458
and besides,
it will leave me time to write.

1534
01:14:18,541 --> 01:14:19,666
Write what?

1535
01:14:19,750 --> 01:14:22,500
Short stories, articles,

1536
01:14:22,583 --> 01:14:24,750
and I hope one day
to write a novel.

1537
01:14:26,166 --> 01:14:27,416
How ambitious.

1538
01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:29,708
- Some may
think it far-fetched.

1539
01:14:29,791 --> 01:14:30,833
My father does.

1540
01:14:30,916 --> 01:14:33,541
- But women have been
successful writers for years.

1541
01:14:33,625 --> 01:14:37,541
- White women,
but I have a few precedents.

1542
01:14:37,625 --> 01:14:41,375
- Then why shouldn't you?
I envy you.

1543
01:14:42,833 --> 01:14:45,458
I'd like to work too, properly.

1544
01:14:45,541 --> 01:14:47,541
What at?

1545
01:14:47,625 --> 01:14:48,708
I'm not like you.

1546
01:14:48,791 --> 01:14:51,625
I don't have any burning talent
yearning to be free.

1547
01:14:51,708 --> 01:14:55,125
I just want to be busy,
to be needed,

1548
01:14:55,208 --> 01:14:57,000
to be in a hurry.

1549
01:14:57,083 --> 01:14:59,000
- You know
they'd never allow it,

1550
01:14:59,083 --> 01:15:00,375
except for charity.

1551
01:15:00,458 --> 01:15:01,791
- Then I'll work
at my charities

1552
01:15:01,875 --> 01:15:03,250
and wait to see what comes.

1553
01:15:05,125 --> 01:15:07,125
After all, we've made it
to this city.

1554
01:15:07,208 --> 01:15:09,916
- That's right.
You're a New Yorker now.

1555
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:11,666
We both are,

1556
01:15:11,750 --> 01:15:14,208
and for a New Yorker,
anything is possible.

1557
01:15:15,750 --> 01:15:20,125
So good luck to both of us,
and good night.

1558
01:15:23,166 --> 01:15:24,416
Good night, Peggy.

1559
01:16:04,875 --> 01:16:07,333
How was your evening?

1560
01:16:07,416 --> 01:16:08,916
Wasted.

1561
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,583
I wanted to go to a party.

1562
01:16:11,666 --> 01:16:15,083
- Any party?
- No, the Russells' party.

1563
01:16:16,708 --> 01:16:19,416
- I wasn't invited.
- You will be next time.

1564
01:16:21,083 --> 01:16:24,291
What was the attraction?

1565
01:16:24,375 --> 01:16:27,208
Never mind about that now.

1566
01:17:03,750 --> 01:17:05,750
- Good evening,
Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt.

1567
01:17:05,833 --> 01:17:07,125
Good evening, Hefty.

1568
01:17:07,208 --> 01:17:09,750
- Good evening, Miss Caroline.
- Good evening, Hefty.

1569
01:17:13,666 --> 01:17:15,416
Is Mrs. Astor
still awake, Hefty?

1570
01:17:15,500 --> 01:17:16,708
She's in the drawing room.

1571
01:17:16,791 --> 01:17:18,250
- Say good night to Mama
for me.

1572
01:17:18,333 --> 01:17:21,083
I'm nearly dead,
and Rosy has to be up at dawn.

1573
01:17:21,166 --> 01:17:23,291
I will.

1574
01:17:23,375 --> 01:17:25,791
- Good night.
- Good night, Carrie.

1575
01:17:27,291 --> 01:17:30,541
- Hello, Mother.
- Carrie, dear.

1576
01:17:30,625 --> 01:17:33,125
- How was it?
- All right.

1577
01:17:33,208 --> 01:17:34,958
Mr. Dvorák played
until I thought

1578
01:17:35,041 --> 01:17:37,000
his fingers would fall off,

1579
01:17:37,083 --> 01:17:38,291
and then he spoke
about composing,

1580
01:17:38,375 --> 01:17:39,833
and we couldn't
understand a word.

1581
01:17:39,916 --> 01:17:42,166
- Where's Helen?
- She's gone to bed.

1582
01:17:42,250 --> 01:17:44,458
Rosy has to get up early
for some diplomatic thing.

1583
01:17:44,541 --> 01:17:46,041
- I wish you wouldn't
call him that.

1584
01:17:46,125 --> 01:17:47,833
- I can't call him
Mr. Roosevelt.

1585
01:17:47,916 --> 01:17:50,750
- Call him James.
- Nobody calls him James.

1586
01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:55,291
- What are these?
- Old invitations.

1587
01:17:55,375 --> 01:17:56,416
I was looking through them

1588
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:59,333
to see if I needed to keep
any of the addresses.

1589
01:17:59,416 --> 01:18:01,250
This one was for tonight.

1590
01:18:01,333 --> 01:18:04,250
<i>Mrs. George Russell</i>
<i>at 1801 Fifth Avenue.</i>

1591
01:18:04,333 --> 01:18:05,583
Are you awake?

1592
01:18:12,708 --> 01:18:14,250
Would you like me
to come in with you?

1593
01:18:30,375 --> 01:18:33,000
This is harder
than you thought it would be.

1594
01:18:33,083 --> 01:18:35,416
I know that.

1595
01:18:35,500 --> 01:18:36,875
But I hope you won't give up.

1596
01:18:42,583 --> 01:18:44,750
Good night.

1597
01:18:44,833 --> 01:18:47,583
- I met their son in Newport
with Mamie Fish.

1598
01:18:49,916 --> 01:18:52,791
- Did you go?
- Don't be ridiculous.

1599
01:18:54,416 --> 01:18:55,625
I'll never give up!

1600
01:18:57,041 --> 01:19:00,416
And I promise you this.
I'll make them sorry one day.

1601
01:19:00,500 --> 01:19:02,458
I'm glad to hear it, my dear.

1602
01:19:02,541 --> 01:19:04,083
Defeat is not your color.
