00:00Welcome, your Lordship, welcome, your Lordship, God save the Queen.
00:28Mary Twigg, both parents died of the fever.
00:32Do you know your catechism, child?
00:35Yes, my Lord Bishop.
00:37Good, good.
00:39And what do you want to be when you grow up?
00:43A dairymaid, sir.
00:45Elizabeth Williams?
00:47Mother drowned herself, father unknown.
00:53Who were the sons of Noah, child?
00:57Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
01:01Mull Flanders?
01:04Found abandoned by the gypsies.
01:08Recite for me, child, a passage from the scriptures.
01:12I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
01:16Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field.
01:20Yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:25And what do you want to be when you grow up?
01:28A gentlewoman, sir.
01:30A gentle...
01:37A gentlewoman indeed.
01:47And who's to say she won't be?
01:50With those eyes.
01:52There, there.
02:22There, there.
02:52There, there.
03:22THE END

05:06And later on, bring me in those flowers I chose.
05:09Aye, sir.
05:10I want thyme, fennel, sage, and blackcurrants.
05:15They do shoot up, sir, don't they?
05:18Damn it, they do.
05:20It seems that yesterday I brought into the house an orphan, an innocent child.
05:25They don't stay that way long, sir.
05:27No, they don't.
05:29Back to the blackcurrants, Webster.
05:31The blackcurrants.

05:59My years in this house were exceedingly happy.
06:02For although only a servant, I was treated as one of the family.
06:06And like its other members, I'd been encouraged to follow my studies.
06:10To keep myself spotlessly tidy.
06:13To...
06:16In other words, my education was in no way neglected.
06:20Sir, what a fright you gave me.
06:23Oh, sir. Oh, no, sir.
06:26Oh, sir. What will your father say?
06:29See, I was treated as one of the family.
06:32And I enjoyed all the advantages of a wide education.
06:37Music.
06:40Music.
07:00No, no, no, no, no.
07:02Moll, you take my sister's part.
07:05She's violently out of voice.
07:07Not out of voice. It is you out of tune.
07:10Moll's voice out of tune is sweeter than yours anyway.
07:13I regret it, too.
07:15No.
07:30Shut up.
07:31Oh, I'm sorry.
07:33No, Mr. Webster. You're coming late.
07:36And Miss Laura, your time is too quick.
07:54In addition to music, we had lessons in deportment, manners...
08:00Manners.
08:02I soon picked up the ways of ladies and of gentlemen.
08:08Music.
08:30The speckled hen won't lay in the boxes.
08:35Moll, you know I'd marry you.
08:38Marry me, sir?
08:40Tell me a man who wouldn't.
08:43If the way of the world wasn't first, to seek for a fortune.
08:48It is not a fortune I lack, sir.
08:51I've not two guineas struck together.
08:53Oh, Moll.
08:55I'll... I'll give you more gold than you've ever seen.
09:01For what, sir?
09:04I have my wages.
09:06I'll marry you, Moll.
09:08Truly, I will.
09:10In a church.
09:11A church?
09:12Before the parson.
09:14In a lovely white dress.
09:16White dress?
09:18And prayers.
09:22Oh.
09:26And a ring and a marriage bed, Moll.
09:31Marriage bed.
09:53What...
09:55What have you been doing with Moll, eh?
09:58For a boy brought up in the country, you're strangely ignorant.
10:07Who are you?
10:13Moll, come here.
10:24What's got into those pigs?
10:26Your son, sir.
10:30Fighting over some wench, are we?
10:33Do I know her?
10:37In the barn, eh?
10:39I was looking for eggs, sir.
10:41Find any?
10:43No, sir.
10:45Shall you and I go and have another look?
10:48Samuel!
10:50Samuel!
10:52What are you after?
10:53A bird, my dear.
10:55After a bird.
10:58Silly old cow.
11:06Oh, my poor dear.
11:08Here.
11:11You see, Moll, I haven't forgotten.
11:14Oh, sir.
11:17I spent whole hours looking at the gold he had given me.
11:21I counted these coins a hundred times a day.
11:26Ruin was at my door.
11:30But I think I now rather wished for that ruin.
11:34Then studied how to avoid it.
11:47Goodbye, brother.
11:49Goodbye, dear.
11:58Sir?
12:03How long will you be gone?
12:05A week.
12:06Or a month, if the pleasures of town are diverting.
12:10Oh.
12:11Oh.
12:12There now, Moll.
12:42What do you see?
13:06Something in the water.
13:08A corpse?
13:09I've done good pickings after hard men.
13:11Alas, by a long hair.
13:14Unless it's some fool gentleman bathing in his wig.
13:17Is that a sheep?
13:19Or a pile of clothes?
13:21Let's hope it's a man.
13:23And he's brought his watch and purse.
13:25Come on.
13:34Help yourself, squint.
13:42No, not a farthing.
13:45There's a bit of lace here, though.
13:49I see you.
13:51Ben!
13:52Help!
13:53I see you.
13:55Regis!
13:57Help!
13:59Help!
14:06Help!
14:09No!
14:17The lambs!
14:33Miss Flanders.
14:36I wanted for a long time to get you.
14:39On your own.
14:41I'd like very much to...
14:43I'd like very much to talk to you, if I may, please.
14:48Miss Flanders, I've...
14:50I've never called you Moll, as the others have done.
14:54Because, in brief, I've...
14:56Well, I've never treated you as a servant in this household.
14:59Because, in short, you've...
15:01You've always seemed to me to be more of an equal.
15:05And, in many cases, a...
15:09A superior.
15:14I have moved, as you know...
15:17I have moved, as you know, in our own local society.
15:21In our local society.
15:23And I've never found a young woman to compare with you.
15:27For your...
15:29For your looks.
15:31Your good humour.
15:32Or your wit.
15:35Brief, Miss Flanders.
15:37I'd like very much to marry you.
15:40Marry me?
15:42Marry Moll!
15:46And what, pray, is wrong with Moll?
15:49She's as gentile as any of our acquaintances.
15:52Gentile?
15:53She was dragged up by gypsies.
15:55And what's more, she's a bastard.
15:57Yes, and she's a jumped-up servant girl.
16:00Rented a poor house.
16:02At least someone's asked for her.
16:04Which is more than anyone's done for you.
16:07Now, quiet!
16:09You, too!
16:11Quiet, all of you!
16:14Have some respect!
16:16You don't respect her in your own presence.
16:19But I do, sir.
16:21By finding a wife who'll put some good looks into this man.
16:33MOLL
16:44Moll?
16:45I must talk with you.
16:47Please tell me.
16:49Tell me what to do.
16:51What to say.
16:52Say to who?
16:53Him.
16:54He.
16:55He's asked me to marry him.
16:57Who? Who?
16:58He, your brother.
17:00And he's told the whole family.
17:02Oh, they'll murder me for sure.
17:13He's a good enough fellow and well-provided.
17:16Or do you look higher?
17:18How can I be a wife to one brother and a...
17:21a mistress to the other?
17:25If you were anxious on that score, Moll...
17:28I have no claims on you.
17:30Nothing would make me happier than to regard you as a sister.
17:36Let's face it, my dear.
17:37If you don't marry him, they'll kick you out of the house.
17:40And what will your prospects be then?
17:43A girl who's lost her reputation.
17:47Who took it from me.
17:52And you may be with child, for all we know.
17:59Yes.
18:01Your best course is to marry my brother.
18:04Just as soon as you can get him to the church.
18:13His words have put ideas into my head.
18:16And I fancied myself with child.
18:19A fear that luckily proved false.
18:23But by then,
18:25taking the advice of the man whom I still loved,
18:29I had said,
18:31I will.
18:33Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?
18:46Modesty forbids me to reveal the...
18:50...reveal the...
18:53...secrets of the marriage bed.
19:14Never, ladies, never marry a fool.
19:18Any husband rather than a fool.
19:30Whether a mad fool or a sober fool,
19:33take anything but a fool.
19:48No!
20:06And this one came to a fool's end.
20:15I thank you, Vicar.
20:19My dear.
20:24Don't cry, ma.
20:26Please.
20:29Help.
20:46The family, of course, made sure I got nothing by his will.
20:50And so, next morning early,
20:53I left the house
20:56to make my way in the world.
20:58And now I was faced by the worst of devils, poverty.
21:03A girl can be kept by a man or she can keep herself.
21:07But make no mistake,
21:09even when independent,
21:11she is still looking for a keeper.
21:14And I confess I was not suitably affected by the loss of my husband.
21:19Though a widow.
21:22I felt I should soon be a widow consoled.
21:26Good day, ma'am.
21:28Is there anything I can do to help you?
21:31I, uh, I've come about the position.
21:34Oh.
21:36Well, Miss Glauber's in the fitting room.
21:38Oh, bella, bellissima.
21:41You don't need to be a seamstress, child.
21:44With those legs you can climb higher than neither work.
21:49I have no experience, sir,
21:51of anything but household duties.
21:53Ah, che chance.
21:55My wife is looking for a lady's maid.
21:58Lady's maid, indeed.
22:00Lady Blystone should wait for maids
22:03until she can pay her bills.
22:06This one, sir,
22:08has been due in twelve months.
22:12My wife will send you the money as soon as we get to London.
22:16I think, sir, she is not your wife.
22:19I know her from the Duke of Ilchester's daughter,
22:22from a strong family resemblance
22:25in not paying debts.
22:27Oh, per favore, please.
22:29Some people come to the country for credit
22:32when they can no longer obtain it in town.
22:35Send it to my bankers.
22:37If you have bankers,
22:39perhaps you would be good enough to sign it
22:41and address it.
22:43I understand, Lady Blystone.
22:46You're in need of a maid.
22:48In need, my dear, I certainly am,
22:50but I'm also in need of the funds to pay one.
22:53I would come to you for nothing,
22:55just for my keep.
22:57You are a widow, my dear.
22:58Yes.
22:59Oh, you have my sympathy.
23:01Thank you, but it's out of place.
23:03My husband was a fool.
23:05I cannot claim it was any great loss.
23:08You see,
23:09it's not wages I want,
23:11but opportunity.
23:13And what opportunity do you expect in London?
23:17The chance of another husband.
23:19And how do you think our city men are different
23:21from your rustic variety?
23:23Oh, I do not think they are different,
23:25but there's a wider choice, my lady.
23:28Oh, the cloth and color of their clothes, perhaps,
23:31but not what's inside.
23:33I mean, could you tell the difference
23:34between a country clod and a courtier in the dark?
23:37But I'd sooner make the courtier,
23:39wouldn't you?
23:40Our marriage, yes, there, I agree.
23:42But cloth counts more than what it contains.
23:46You know, you please me, child.
23:48Would you like to go on before me
23:50and take my baggage to London?
23:52Oh, my lady.
23:56Darling, I have good news.
23:58We have a new maid.
24:00Oh, bella, bellissima.
24:02I said maid.
24:05Oh, darling.
24:09R-O-T-H.
24:11H.
24:13H.
24:15Rothschild.
24:29I was resolved now to be married or nothing,
24:33and to be well married or not at all.
24:37I now had the first essential
24:39for a woman who seeks a husband,
24:41a good wardrobe.
24:43Better than mine, of course,
24:45when I'd borrowed skillfully.
24:48Already it seemed to be having an effect.
24:51Warmer than yesterday.
24:53I beg your pardon, sir?
24:55I say it's warmer than yesterday.
24:57Indeed, sir.
24:59In my estimation, it is somewhat cooler.
25:01Well, I'll not dispute the temperature, ma'am,
25:04if you'll permit me to open the window.
25:06I do hope we'll dispute nothing, sir.
25:08We've a long way to go.
25:10London?
25:13Have you been there before?
25:15No, never.
25:17I hope you have good friends there, ma'am.
25:19It is a city full of snares and pitfalls for the unwary.
25:23I think, sir, I shall soon make friends.
25:26Attend to their quality, ma'am.
25:28I respect your advice, sir.
25:31Are you going to London, sir?
25:33Yes.
25:34I've been on business to Plymouth,
25:36a city, I regret to say,
25:38overpopulated with non-conformists.
25:41May I ask, sir,
25:43the nature of your business?
25:45I'm a banker, ma'am.
25:47Mmm.
25:49Mmm.
25:52You're devilish amusing, some of these bishops.
25:55Ah.
25:57I see I had no need to fear that you would go unprotected in London.
26:01You were a ring man.
26:02No doubt you have a husband to escort you.
26:04Yes, sir.
26:06I'm a banker, ma'am.
26:08Mmm.
26:10Mmm.
26:12Mmm.
26:14Mmm.
26:16Mmm.
26:18Mmm.
26:20You have a husband to escort you.
26:22Unfortunately, sir,
26:26I'm a widow.
26:29It is a droll chance that brings us together.
26:33Happily, ma'am, unhappily,
26:35I am a widower.
26:37Oh.
26:39Mmm.
26:41Mmm.
26:50Give me the bottle of jam, will you?
27:20Whoa! Whoa!
27:47Guard!
27:48Sir.
27:49What's the word?
27:51There's a... there's a dead man on the road, sir.
27:53Well, keep your eyes about you. That's an old trick, that one.
27:57Stand fast.
27:59I'll drop the first man that moves.
28:01Hold up.
28:03My watch.
28:04Oh.
28:05Thank heaven I've naught else but a handful of guineas.
28:07And you?
28:09I still have my head, sir.
28:11If you'll calm yourself,
28:13hand me that cushion,
28:15and then listen a moment.
28:18No brandy, no consignment of cloth, no lace, no bullion?
28:22Not a thing, sir, but the passenger's baggage.
28:24I swear it, sir. I swear it.
28:25Let me see the passengers.
28:26Yes, sir.
28:27Search the coach.
28:28Yes, sir.
28:30May you burn in hell, sir, for your damned impudence.
28:34And may you die a slow death, sir, of the tedium in heaven.
28:39Meanwhile, your purse.
28:44A ring, sir, perhaps?
28:48You would not lie to me, sir, I hope.
28:54All right, sir.
28:55Would you mind enlightening me, lad? I want to search the coach.
29:02Though you are a scoundrel, sir, I see that you are a man of manners.
29:06Now, this young lady who is traveling under my protection
29:09is, if you'll forgive me for saying so, ma'am, with child.
29:14Nine months, two weeks, four days,
29:18and no midwife twixt here and Salisbury.
29:22I envy your husband is child, ma'am.
29:26Alas, sir, I'm a widow.
29:30Then you've lost enough. I'll take no more.
29:32Guard, you can move the cart.
29:34Ma'am.
29:36Courtesy, you ape, assist the lady.
29:43And you, sir.
29:45I'll starve myself, but not my horses, so I'll have your wig.
29:53As I thought, sir.
29:56A cravat pin.
29:58Drive on, coachman.
30:00By the look of things, you'd better make good time to Salisbury.
30:03Right.
30:04Go on.
30:05Get on.
30:15Come on, Toby.
30:17That's the boy, good lad.
30:21Well, what are we waiting for?
30:24All right.
30:25What have you got there?
30:27Find it under the seat.
30:30It is hers. I said we'd spare her.
30:32You've spared too many.
30:38That'll teach you to disobey orders.
30:43Lady Blyster.
30:45Title of terror.
30:47A widow, child on the way.
30:50Why should a man risk hanging, squint?
30:53When there are women like that in need of comfort and care.
30:58And a man to show them how to spend their money.
31:02London.
31:23Playhouses, palaces, gay promenades, milliners, dressmakers, hatters, jewelers,
31:29Hoosiers, haberdashers, hairdressers, and husbands.
31:38Get away from the coach.
31:39Go on.
31:40Get out of there.
31:41Go on.
31:42Get off.
31:43Go on.
31:44Off you go.
31:47Ah, here we are.
31:49A very agreeable journey, ma'am.
31:59If you want an appointment, miss.
32:07How much?
32:26Ma'am, are you sure you would not feel safer if I accompanied you?
32:31Thank you, sir, but I have my quarters.
32:34I shall take a chair.
32:36You're certain, ma'am?
32:39Chair.
32:40Here, madam.
32:46Hey, you.
32:50Here, follow that chair.
33:00Move over.
33:29Sir, how did you know I...
33:32By St. Bartholomew, you.
33:36I came to inquire after my old friend, Lady Blystone.
33:39I am staying with Lady Blystone.
33:41Oh, I see.
33:42She will not be back until tomorrow.
33:44Indeed.
33:46The house, I fear, is in some disorder.
33:49Lady Blystone's servants seem to have gone.
33:53Her servants make a habit of going, and for good reason.
33:58But, uh, you are not, then, staying in this house alone?
34:02Uh, for tonight, yes.
34:06One can see that you are new to London.
34:08Why?
34:09Are you not aware of the dangers you run?
34:11A woman alone in a house in this part of town?
34:13Dangers?
34:14Have you not heard of the Mohawks?
34:16Gangs of young men who terrorize the streets?
34:18I saw them today at the coaching station.
34:21They stop at nothing.
34:22Robbery, arson, rape.
34:24Why, only last week.
34:26In this very same street, a girl opened her door to let in her cat,
34:30and you know what they did?
34:32They slit off her nose with a razor!
34:36What... what shall I do, sir?
34:40Allow me to be of service.
34:43I have no engagements this evening.
34:45Permit me to stay in the house, sir,
34:47and keep you company, protect you.
34:49Well, I hardly think, sir.
34:52That would be seemly.
34:54What do you take me for?
34:56I am an alderman of the City of London,
34:58a parish councillor,
34:59a member of the Society for the Reformation of Morals.
35:02Now, do you think that I cannot be trusted
35:04to spend the night in the same house with a woman without offering offense?
35:08Come, I say, ma'am!
35:09I take this ill that you should so misjudge my character.
35:12Oh, nay, sir.
35:13I did not mean to offend you,
35:15but, well, I've scarce seen the house.
35:19I know not what accommodation there is.
35:23Then let us reconnoitre her.
35:26Shall we?
35:34A bed, but no linen!
35:36A smell of mice, but no bed!
35:38Ah!
35:39Dear, dear, dear!
35:41Bed and linen!
35:45Enough for a warm night.
35:47We have not looked at the attics yet.
35:49They leak.
35:50Lady Blystone told me so.
35:55You are not proposing, sir,
35:58that...
35:59You've known me long enough now to know my character.
36:01Do you suppose I can't sleep in the same room with a woman,
36:04nay, even in the same bed,
36:05without acting like a beast of the field?
36:08I think we're both people of principle, ma'am,
36:11and far removed from nudeness.
36:14However, if you still have scruples,
36:17here.
36:19The ramparts of chastity.
36:27Now, then.
36:28Hello.
36:33What's this?
36:35Gin.
36:37A vulgar beverage, but efficacious.
36:41You know, on gin and water,
36:45a working man can get dead drunk for tons.
36:50They should impose a tax, ma'am.
36:54Keep such pernicious liquors
36:58from all but the more responsible spouses.
37:10Oh, no, no, no.
37:35Oh, Lord.
37:38Let's get out of here.
37:58The host is clear.
38:00Dans, bailiffs, debt collectors,
38:05they always smoke pipes.
38:07Oh, why don't you pay some of your debts?
38:10Then we could walk down the street without fearing a billip on every corner.
38:16They're here.
38:17The bums.
38:20Why, William.
38:26A nocturnal visit.
38:30Ah.
38:32Can't fail your call, my dear.
38:35See if you were back.
38:36At dawn?
38:38Oh, you never were an early riser, William.
38:41So far as I remember, except, of course, for one purpose.
38:46But I'd heard you changed your ways
38:48and become a church warden at St. Bride's.
38:51The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.
38:53Well, the spirit smells uncommonly like gin to me.
38:57Oh.
38:59The flesh grows weaker with the years and less able to sustain the exertions.
39:05You're so right, my dear.
39:07Poor dear.
39:09You're so...
39:11You're so...
39:14To lie with a banker on her first night in town is a good beginning.
39:21It shows promise.
39:24Why, Miggie.
39:26You're very peevish.
39:28Ha.
39:29Pay some of my debts.
39:31If you wanted a rich man, you should have married him.
39:35Oh, t'was not for want of his asking.
39:37But I know him too well.
39:39He's a saint in the daylight and a devil in the dark.
39:54Sir.
39:56What happened last night was mostly my fault.
39:59It is I, not you, who should make amends.
40:03I hesitate to entrust your ring to a servant.
40:07When can we meet again?
40:09I'm afraid I can't.
40:11I'm afraid I can't.
40:13I'm afraid I can't.
40:15I'm afraid I can't.
40:17I'm afraid I can't.
40:19I'm afraid I can't.
40:22When can we meet again, so I may return it?
40:33Sir.
40:34What?
40:35We're put down strong, ma'am, to quieten the noise of the wheels.
40:38There's a man in there, dying.
40:52Madam.
40:56Make haste with those leeches.
40:58He's as blue as a butcher's apron.
41:02My hat.
41:03What shall I do with my hat?
41:05Here.
41:06Oh, thank you.
41:07Are you the nurse?
41:08Who needs a nurse?
41:09My master.
41:10He was out all night in the rain.
41:11Fell down with it on the doorstep.
41:13He's promised a thousand pounds to the church if their prayers pull him through.
41:17He recovers.
41:18He recovers.
41:19Praise the Lord.
41:20He's spoken again.
41:22Hallelujah.
41:23Toast and tea.
41:24Toast and tea.
41:26Praise the Lord.
41:27Toast and tea.
41:28That's a change from wine and wenches.
41:30He's repented, all right.
41:34Would you give him this?
41:39The cause, doctor.
41:40The cause.
41:42A morbid flux of viscous fluid congested the passages to the vital organs.
41:50I was near death?
41:52Closer than I am to you, sir.
41:55In this miscongestion of...
41:57Here we are.
41:58In here, sir.
41:59Ah.
42:02These leeches, sir, will diminish the plephoric humors.
42:07And by removing the unhealthy effusion, repletion, and excess, restore you to normal, if diminished, health.
42:17I shall recover?
42:18Only by adopting a way of life less rousing to the sanguinary, choleric, and melancholy humors.
42:31Give it back to her and admit no more women.
42:35By the back door or by the front, by night or by day, no more women.
42:40Sir.
42:48Will ye buy a very fine brush?
42:53Will ye buy a very fine brush?
43:02Grant! Grant! Where's breakfast?
43:05Well, I've got two pair of hands.
43:07Stir yourself, brother. He's had a long ride and a pretty night.
43:16There.
43:17There.
43:18Breakfast.
43:20Breakfast.
43:32Eat your breakfast.
43:34And stop dreaming of your fine lady.
43:37Widow.
43:39If all went well, she's a mother by now.
43:44A poor fatherless child.
43:47What's this? A conversion?
43:51Fatherless children, you fathers, would fill an orphanage.
43:55May Dutchie have been thinking. Highway robbery is not what it was.
43:59This time I found a subtle way of life.
44:03Lady Blystone.
44:06Well, if I hooked her...
44:08You? Live off a woman?
44:13No.
44:14Quite respectable, down to best society.
44:17As long as you marry him first.
44:19Marry?
44:21Well, make no difference to you and me.
44:24Just a kind of insurance against bad times.
44:28I could retire.
44:30Make an honest man of myself.
44:32You're very lady of title.
44:34You'd have to have some station in life.
44:38I thought of being an officer of dragoons.
44:41Our friends would spot you for a fall in five minutes.
44:46Nay, but a ship's officer, that could suit us to perfection.
44:50We'd have to go off on our voyages.
44:53Months at a time.
44:55And we'd be as snug as a bug in the rug as we've always been.
44:59Not an officer.
45:01A ship's captain.
45:03With rich estates.
45:05Abroad, where she can't inspect them.
45:08I need a new outfit.
45:10Some finery about me.
45:12Squint!
45:13Oh, no.
45:14Fetch us that suit of clothes Twisty stripped off the admiral on the Portsmouth Road.
45:19Yes.
45:20Can you tell him?
45:22You need a good powdered wig and a coat.
45:26And he needs a livery.
45:28We'll all need some money.
45:31Where's it coming from?
45:34I'll advance it.
45:36For a fifth share of income for seven years.
45:39A tenth share for three years.
45:40Six.
45:41Four.
45:42Five.
45:43Done.
45:47All round could be a good stroke of business.
45:50Mixing in society, you'd get information.
45:54I could pass on to our light-fingered friends.
45:57A respectable married man I'll be.
46:00Who keeps a mistress and buys her trinkets.
46:02Think of the pickings, Duchy.
46:04And with me, a gentleman of leisure.
46:07Think of that time.
46:08I love it.
46:13Is this real?
46:14Mm-hmm.
46:15And the last.
46:16It will have to go.
46:18Oh, my last diamond.
46:20We can try your father again.
46:22Oh, he's as poor as we are.
46:24Oh, he's a duke.
46:26He can get credit.
46:28Well, you're a count.
46:29And how much credit can you get?
46:31Ah, he's a real duke.
46:33You mean you.
46:35Oh, my title.
46:38There are family disputes.
46:40Unfortunately, my father, the count, did not marry my mother.
46:45But then how could she have been the countess?
46:48Ah, she wasn't.
46:51She was the cook.
46:53The cook.
46:55All as long as she was a good one.
46:57Come, my love.
47:00There are four moneylenders we have not yet tried.
47:04Oh.
47:06These may be fools.
47:09But the true heart beats when you die.
47:13Oh, Mickey.
47:22Two houses further on.
47:24Right.
47:25Go on.
47:26Go on.
47:34Whoa.
47:43Fine servants she keeps.
47:45You'd take them for quality.
47:47Now, don't be too long.
47:49These fellows cost us ten shillings an hour.
47:51And suit your style to your clothes.
47:53Otherwise, you'll see through them.
48:05Anybody home?
48:07Psst.
48:08I'll turn the kitchen around.
48:10Anybody in?
48:14Ahoy there.
48:34Ahoy there.
48:42You'll oblige me by informing my lady Blystone
48:45that Captain Meredith has shortly shipped the seahorse
48:47like a whopping pizzazz of word with her.
48:50And you'll oblige me by keeping your horse to yourself.
48:56Where did you get that?
48:58It was stolen.
49:00I am here to return it.
49:03And how did you get hold of it?
49:06Two scoundrels who waylaid me last night.
49:08I reformed them with my fists
49:10and they chose to join the crew of the sea lion
49:12rather than hang.
49:14Another of your ships?
49:16The sea lion.
49:17A sister ship of the seahorse, I take it.
49:20Oh, aye, aye.
49:21Sister ships they are
49:22and no prettier sisters afloat.
49:25And the hat?
49:27Part of the booty the scoundrels brought on board.
49:30Hmm.
49:31And now conduct me to Lady Blystone.
49:34I'll take it.
49:35She's not...
49:36I wish to see her in person.
49:38I'm not accustomed to being kept waiting in kitchens.
49:41You've waited in kitchens before now.
49:44Aye.
49:45And tumbled the kitchen maids too.
49:48I doubt Lady Blystone
49:51would receive a man of your manners.
49:54Don't misjudge me, young woman.
49:56A life at sea leaves a man with rough edges.
49:59Why, on my estates,
50:01I've received greater ladies than her.
50:03Comtesses, duchesses.
50:05Your estates?
50:08Aye.
50:09In Virginia and the Indies.
50:12And you have two ships as well?
50:16Mm-hmm.
50:18The seahorse lying at Wapping
50:20and the sea serpent on passage back from Jamaica.
50:24My.
50:26That makes three.
50:28The sea lion, the seahorse,
50:31and now the sea serpent.
50:33That's...
50:34A fleet.
50:35God bless you.
50:37I'm sure, Captain,
50:39I meant no offense to you.
50:42I'm sure you gave none guilt.
50:44What is plain, you were made only to give pleasure.
50:47I thank you, Captain.
50:52I'll wager you've got something worth looking at
50:55under that hat.
50:56I wager you'd say so, even if I hadn't.
50:59I wager you'd think you had, even if you hadn't.
51:07I think, Captain,
51:09I can persuade Lady Blystone to receive you.
51:13Flawed, I fear, ma'am,
51:15and not of the highest quality.
51:17Flawed? It came from the crown of the Empress of Russia.
51:21And you bought it from the Empress herself?
51:23No doubt.
51:26How much?
51:28Fifty guineas.
51:30Fifty?
51:34Seventy-five?
51:41I can live on two mills a day.
51:43I can live on one mill a day,
51:45but I cannot live one day more on no mills a day.
51:53Sixty?
51:56Sixty.
52:09You wish to see me, Captain?
52:12Aye, and instantly regret I have.
52:16For now, my eyes are spoiled for all others.
52:19The girl told me you'd return my hat,
52:22not make my hair too large for it.
52:25I was wondering...
52:27Yes?
52:28Was it a boy or a girl?
52:31The man who robbed your coach told me he spared you because you were...
52:35The biblical phrase comes easiest to my tongue.
52:40Great with child.
52:43Great indeed, sir.
52:46But was neither boy nor girl.
52:49It was a cushion, sir.
52:52The dolt was easily deceived.
52:54He was so puffed up with his pistols and his rogue's vanity,
52:59he never thought my padded belly held naught but a gold watch.
53:06I understand, sir, you have estates abroad.
53:11Aye, a few counties in Ireland.
53:14Ireland?
53:15And Virginia, and a parcel of land in the Indies.
53:20And you intend to settle there
53:22when you retire from the sea with your wife and family?
53:27Alas, ma'am, I've neither wife nor family,
53:30though I have a mind to both
53:32and find life at sea increasing wearisome.
53:36I would offer you refreshments, but the servants are out.
53:43Don't concern yourself, ma'am.
53:47Hang it, ma'am.
53:49A life at sea makes a man direct of speech.
53:53I understand you're a widow.
53:56Widowhood, like the sea, grows tedious.
54:01Here we are both adrift and sending out signals for a tow.
54:08Why don't we lie alongside?
54:12A nautical figure of speech, ma'am.
54:15I'm suggesting we lash together
54:18and drop anchor tonight in some place of entertainment
54:21where I may offer you refreshments.
54:24Forgive me boldness, ma'am.
54:26I'm used to charting a course and seeing it steered.
54:31And where will you steer me, Captain?
54:35If, faith, ma'am, I'd steer you through hell,
54:40for the heaven you promise with those... eyes.
54:49And now you must go.
54:52Go?
54:54Go.
54:56Ma'am, I fear I...
54:58Forgive me, I... I mean we...
