00:00:00This is a production of the U.S. Department of Education, and the Department of Education.
00:02:35Who's luckier, do you think?
00:02:37My brother or me?
00:02:38Clifford, please.
00:02:40I believe I am.
00:02:42Herbert has his immortality.
00:02:45But I have his title in Ragby Hall.
00:02:48I don't know.
00:03:18Here's to you, Connie.
00:03:35You've been so wonderful to me.
00:03:38Loyal wife.
00:03:39A good companion.
00:03:41A patient nurse.
00:03:43You're patient with me.
00:03:45Patient.
00:03:46Considered.
00:03:48Witty.
00:03:49Brave.
00:03:51Almost a perfect husband, isn't that?
00:03:53Well, to us both, then.
00:03:55Well, lucky one of us.
00:03:58To be wounded with the war nearly over and to come home like this, one might almost say that was dreadful luck.
00:04:05You mustn't look at it like that.
00:04:07You're alive.
00:04:07That's what matters.
00:04:08How long had we been married?
00:04:10Six months.
00:04:12Only one month living together as a real man and wife.
00:04:15I thought you'd lie terribly.
00:04:18I mind for your sake that you're paralysed.
00:04:21Why should I mind for myself?
00:04:22Perhaps you're right.
00:04:25There's something much stronger than sex between you and I, isn't there?
00:04:28Yes, of course.
00:04:35Clifford, do you think that it's about time that we got a ballet, a manseller for you?
00:04:41Lady Redbone's butler has a cousin who's...
00:04:44I'll afford another servant just now, dear.
00:04:46You can afford a gamekeeper.
00:04:49Must I have some dreadful old butler hanging over me all the time?
00:04:53Have you?
00:04:55Anyway, we've always had a gamekeeper.
00:04:57It was Mellor's job before the war.
00:04:59He's finally decided to take up his old post again.
00:05:01Mrs. Marshall tells me that he terrifies the children of the village.
00:05:04He seizes them if they so much as venture into a orchard.
00:05:08Yes, he's a sort of wild man of the woods.
00:05:10Keeps very much to himself.
00:05:11He's a sort of wild man of the woods.
00:05:41I'm sorry, I didn't know.
00:05:50Your ladyship, shall you come in?
00:05:57Did you not before?
00:05:59Um, no.
00:06:02Sort of wondered if I heard something.
00:06:03Oh, um, Sir Clifford asked me to tell you,
00:06:10could you come see him tomorrow afternoon about the accounts?
00:06:13Oh, aye.
00:06:14I'll call him before lunch then tomorrow.
00:06:17If Sir Clifford wants.
00:06:22Good afternoon.
00:06:23Good afternoon, your ladyship.
00:06:32I think this is really the very heart of England.
00:06:35When you think of the past,
00:06:38all the men who've gone from here to war,
00:06:41then my father and his workmen felling trees for the trenches.
00:06:44Are you and me?
00:06:48Who'll come after us, Connie?
00:06:52I suppose the Colliers from Tevershire will take it over.
00:06:58They'll pull the whole place down
00:07:00and turn it into a day school for their kids.
00:07:02Perhaps it won't be so.
00:07:04It's never the obvious that happens, is it?
00:07:06If some of the old England isn't preserved,
00:07:09there'll be no England left at all.
00:07:11And we, who have this property,
00:07:14and the feeling for it,
00:07:15must preserve it.
00:07:18Well, I'm not from an ancestral whore,
00:07:19so all of this leaves me rather unmoved.
00:07:22Yes, well, it wouldn't.
00:07:23If you had a child.
00:07:25To carry on.
00:07:26You see, I could try to hang on to Ragby,
00:07:28the mines, all of it.
00:07:30And you wouldn't mind if I let another man touch me?
00:07:32Of course I'd mind.
00:07:34But it's no use my mining, is it?
00:07:36I think it really might be quite a good idea
00:07:41if you were to have a child by another man.
00:07:43We brought it up at Ragby.
00:07:45It would belong to us.
00:07:47Do you think you might consider it?
00:07:49You know quite well that I couldn't.
00:07:52Ramble!
00:07:56I say, Mellors!
00:07:58Come over here and give me a hand with the chair!
00:08:02Sir?
00:08:06That'll go, Mellors!
00:08:16Good night, you ladyship.
00:08:21Good night.
00:08:23Thank you for your help, Mellors.
00:08:24You're welcome, Sir Clifford.
00:08:32Festive enough, Mrs. Marshall?
00:08:33Oh, yes, Mellors, it looks lovely.
00:08:39Mr. Mellors has arrived with the holly and some more pheasant tales.
00:08:43He was wondering if it was as much as your ladyship wanted.
00:08:46Oh, is he still here?
00:08:49He's in the kitchen, Mellors.
00:08:52Could you turn to wait?
00:08:54Very well, Mellody.
00:09:00Oh, there you are, Jill.
00:09:01Get on with it.
00:09:04Oh, that's splendid!
00:09:07Splendid.
00:09:08If your ladyship would like any more,
00:09:10a bit of spruce fell with corns on it.
00:09:13No, no, that's enough.
00:09:15Let the trees keep their branches.
00:09:17It seems a pity to bring them indoors to die.
00:09:19I'll go, then.
00:09:23There's nothing else.
00:09:26Oh, no, nothing else.
00:09:32Now, where shall we put all of this?
00:09:34There's a room in the hall, Mellody.
00:09:38Oh, really?
00:09:40I dread Christmas since the wall.
00:09:42Why, Mellody?
00:09:46Sir Clifford was wounded on Christmas Day.
00:09:49Well, Tommy, I suppose it would be absurd to ask if you're happy.
00:10:13Why, Father?
00:10:14Well, are you?
00:10:15I think I'm doing what I should do.
00:10:18My God, what you should do if that's the case.
00:10:20You're not being kind to yourself or anyone else.
00:10:23Well, perhaps not.
00:10:24I don't know.
00:10:25I'm not sure of anything much of late.
00:10:27If I were you, I'd be careful what I did with my youth.
00:10:30It doesn't last forever, you know.
00:10:33Well, what should I do, then?
00:10:36Live your life.
00:10:37It's Christmas.
00:10:38Enjoy yourself.
00:10:39Dance.
00:10:39A little bit if you like.
00:10:41If you do, don't fret.
00:10:43Don't worry.
00:10:44I'll take care of Clifford.
00:10:53I've been waiting for you.
00:10:55For how long now, Donald?
00:10:58Why aren't you joining in?
00:10:59No, rather not.
00:11:04Is it a crime to still be yearning for you?
00:11:07Not if you leave it at that.
00:11:08I'm in love with you tonight.
00:11:13Is it the wine, or just your Christmas spirit?
00:11:16You used to care for me, too, remember?
00:11:18It was a long time ago.
00:11:20You were hardly more than children.
00:11:24I'm an incurable romantic.
00:11:26And I am a faithful wine.
00:11:27Ladies and gentlemen, orange one and left.
00:11:42When you were coming, you are wonderful you.
00:11:45I am.
00:11:46Why?
00:11:46The way he manages you to.
00:11:48I was a dreadful housekeeper.
00:11:49And your patience with Clifford is wonderful.
00:11:54But he is patient with me.
00:11:56Well, I know.
00:11:56And he's been wonderful, too.
00:11:59And, of course, his brain is as brilliant as ever.
00:12:01But you know what I mean?
00:12:04Only half a man, as you might say.
00:12:07It's dreadful.
00:12:09And obviously, as your sister, I'm concerned for you.
00:12:12Being deprived of one half of a woman's life is worse for you because you're healthy.
00:12:18Hilda, what am I deprived of?
00:12:21Having a real husband.
00:12:25Poor darling, you're bound to suffer with all that taken away.
00:12:30I've got a real husband.
00:12:33Well, perhaps you're right.
00:12:35Perhaps it doesn't matter if you love him.
00:12:36I loved my husband, and it was wonderful at the time.
00:12:42But now he's hardly more real to me than the Duke of Wellington.
00:12:47A man provides for a woman's life, but he doesn't really enter into it, does he?
00:12:54I don't know, Hilda.
00:12:56Perhaps not.
00:13:06Well, as Christmas parties go, daughter, that was quite tolerable.
00:13:17But I wish you'd come away with me for a while.
00:13:20You need a break from rugby.
00:13:21I was feeling a bit down last night, but I'm all right now.
00:13:24Don't worry.
00:13:25But you could join me at Mandalay.
00:13:26I'll be there all winter, painting seascapes for my next show at the Royal Academy.
00:13:31I can't believe Clifford in the winter.
00:13:33Well, if I'm still there in the summer, promise to join me then.
00:13:35You can always come and stay with me, darling, if you can't leave Clifford for long.
00:13:41Bye, Hilda.
00:13:42Bye, babe.
00:13:42See you.
00:13:44You've got your break jam, daughter.
00:13:46You want to get your axle grease.
00:13:47Know what I mean?
00:13:49Goodbye, father.
00:13:50Goodbye.
00:13:50May see you, father.
00:14:05The universe shows us two aspects.
00:14:16On one side, it is physically wasting.
00:14:19On the other, it is spiritually ascending.
00:14:22It is thus slowly passing.
00:14:27The slowest inconceivable in our measures of time.
00:14:34Within our measures.
00:14:37It is finally on the other.
00:14:55Bye.
00:14:56Bye.
00:15:59Now I'm getting dressed.
00:16:06Now I'm going down to Clifford.
00:16:09Now I'm going to say...
00:16:27Good morning, Clifford. Did you have a better night, dear?
00:16:33Didn't you sleep?
00:16:38Didn't you sleep at all?
00:16:40Oh, poor old con.
00:16:44Clifford, I invited Hilda.
00:16:46No! Not your sister here again. We saw her at Christmas.
00:16:51Look, it's just for a few days and you're quite fond of Hilda, really. You know you are.
00:16:55Look, I haven't spoken to a soul in weeks. Even Mrs. Marshall said...
00:17:00What?
00:17:01Oh, all right, Connie.
00:17:04As long as I don't have to talk to her.
00:17:06Thank you, Clifford.
00:17:27Connie, whatever's the matter?
00:17:30Oh, it's nothing, really. I don't know what's the matter with me.
00:17:40What on earth is the matter with Connie, Clifford? She looks dreadful.
00:17:44Well, she's a little paler, certainly.
00:17:47Haven't you done anything about it?
00:17:48Do you think that's really necessary?
00:17:52Yes, I do.
00:17:55She's been under a tremendous strain of late.
00:17:59I want her to come to London and stay with me.
00:18:01And while she's there, she can see a decent doctor.
00:18:04She can see Dr. Shardlow here.
00:18:06She needs rest, Clifford.
00:18:09Our mother worried herself to death.
00:18:10We're not taking any risks with Connie.
00:18:15You really must have a nurse.
00:18:17Someone to look after you.
00:18:20I've had enough of nurses, thank you.
00:18:22You're not a cheerful man to wait on, Clifford.
00:18:26Oh, and am I expected to be cheerful?
00:18:28Not if you don't want to be.
00:18:31But you mustn't pour all your depression over Connie.
00:18:34You can see what it does to her.
00:18:37I'd say you ought to have a nurse.
00:18:41Are you the person to tell me so?
00:18:43It looks like it, doesn't it?
00:18:45And Connie's coming with me to London tomorrow.
00:18:55You should get away more often, darling.
00:19:00I can't, Hilda.
00:19:01Not at the moment.
00:19:02What we really need is a Florence Nightingale for Clifford.
00:19:08Well, I have thought of someone.
00:19:10Mrs. Bolton.
00:19:12Who's Mrs. Bolton?
00:19:14She's the district nurse.
00:19:17She's had a few battles with him over minors' compensations.
00:19:21But I think he quite respects her.
00:19:23Hmm.
00:19:24Sounds a formidable lady.
00:19:30Must be worth a try.
00:19:34Good morning.
00:19:37How are you, Mrs. Bolton?
00:19:39I'm very well, thank you, milady.
00:19:42Good morning, dear.
00:19:44How are you?
00:19:45Morning, Connie.
00:19:46You've had your bath already?
00:19:48Yes.
00:19:48Mrs. Bolton managed it.
00:19:50Shall I shave you, then?
00:19:51Ah.
00:19:53In fact, I told Mrs. Bolton.
00:19:54But of course, if it's my lady.
00:19:55Mrs. Bolton is coming back to shave me in half an hour.
00:19:58Oh, well, then, that's splendid.
00:19:59I'm sure Sir Clifford would prefer my lady.
00:20:02No, no, it's all arranged.
00:20:04I expect Sir Clifford quite enjoys your more professional touch, don't you, dear?
00:20:08Hmm?
00:20:09You see?
00:20:10Well, if you say so, milady.
00:20:14Will you get up a little later, dear?
00:20:16Yes, before lunch.
00:20:18I'll come back and help you dress.
00:20:37I wondered what the handling was.
00:20:41Mending the chicken coops for your home.
00:20:44They'll be nesting on the pheasant's eggs, so...
00:20:47Well, shall you sit down for a while?
00:20:50There's a little bench up there.
00:20:52You've not been well, I know.
00:20:54Yes, I think I will.
00:20:59I'll carry on, then.
00:21:00I'll carry on for a while.
00:21:13I'll carry on for a while.
00:21:13I'll carry on for a while.
00:21:14I should like to come to the hut sometime, just to sit here and...
00:21:38You lock the door when you're not here, don't you?
00:21:41Aye.
00:21:44Are there two keys?
00:21:46No.
00:21:48Could you get another one?
00:21:50Another key for the hut?
00:21:52Yes.
00:21:53Do you understand what I'm saying?
00:21:55Oh, I understand, milady.
00:21:57But where am I to find another key, if Sir Clifford hasn't got one?
00:22:01Well, has he another?
00:22:04He might have.
00:22:07Well, then I'll ask him for it.
00:22:11I may have a good bit by myself this time of year.
00:22:14What do you mean?
00:22:18Maybe you won't want to be here with any me around.
00:22:22Only you around?
00:22:23Why on earth should I be afraid of being here alone with you?
00:22:27Afraid?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28Well, the only thought is you might not care for it, like.
00:22:33But I don't want you to stay away.
00:22:36I should like to come here whilst you're at the hut and help with the young pheasants when they hatch out.
00:22:41It's Sir Clifford's oath.
00:22:44And your ladyship pleases herself.
00:22:45One last thing.
00:22:51If Sir Clifford hasn't got a key, you'll have another one made up from the one you've got.
00:22:54Do you understand?
00:22:58If you let me know when you want it.
00:22:59Would you mind placing that vase of spray carnations where the light falls onto them?
00:23:09No, no, no.
00:23:10On the piano there.
00:23:14Careful.
00:23:15A little forward.
00:23:20To the right a little.
00:23:21Ah, so.
00:23:25Now I can see them at their best.
00:23:27They're very beautiful, don't you think?
00:23:30And the scent is simply gorgeous.
00:23:33Now, the scent is what I object to.
00:23:35Too funereal.
00:23:36Do you think so?
00:23:41Perhaps it is.
00:23:45Shall I shave you now, Sir Clifford, or would you rather shave yourself?
00:23:48Um, don't know.
00:23:49Do you mind returning when I ring?
00:23:52Of course, Sir Clifford.
00:24:03Mrs. Bolton!
00:24:11Um, I'd rather you shave me.
00:24:15Very good, Sir Clifford.
00:24:16Oh, and you might tell her ladyship that I'd like to speak with her.
00:24:21I noticed her leaving the house a few minutes ago, Sir Clifford.
00:24:26Really?
00:24:28It's good to see her active again, isn't it?
00:24:33Now.
00:24:34Oh, nice.
00:24:47Little house for the birds.
00:24:49Right.
00:24:50It's a shelter-like.
00:24:52It's so pretty.
00:24:54Have the birds made their nests?
00:24:56Aye.
00:24:57There's a Jenny Ren's nest over there.
00:24:58Where?
00:24:59Show me.
00:24:59I got that key you were asking for.
00:25:05Have you?
00:25:06Oh, how kind.
00:25:07I didn't see her for a while, so I thought you might not be wanting it anymore.
00:25:11You're sure you won't mind my being here?
00:25:14If you don't mind me working.
00:25:15No.
00:25:17Mrs. Bolton says I must get out of the house.
00:25:20I fret when I'm indoors and when I'm here and I feel you're somewhere about, I feel safe, that's all.
00:25:31I, uh, well, when you do as you please, it's your own place.
00:25:38Very well, then.
00:25:40Where's the nest?
00:25:41Well, just here under the east.
00:25:44Oh!
00:25:45I wish I were a bird.
00:25:54Do you?
00:25:55What's such a little one as that?
00:26:05It's the end of the day.
00:26:13Aye.
00:26:13Aye.
00:26:15Another.
00:26:20Thank you for the key.
00:26:23You're welcome, milady.
00:26:27They're saying the old seams are running thin.
00:26:31A few more years and the lights will have to close down.
00:26:34Tevershall will go and rag be with it, so they say.
00:26:38It's bad enough during a strike, but my word, if they close for good, it'll be the end of the world.
00:26:46Everybody says it's a shame something can't be done.
00:26:49So, they're waiting for rag be to be wiped out, are they?
00:26:52Good.
00:26:52Good.
00:26:53Good.
00:26:54Good.
00:26:54Let them wait.
00:26:56I'll show them what I'm good for.
00:26:57I've been hatching plans, exciting new developments.
00:27:04Next week, I shall visit the pit.
00:27:06The pit?
00:27:07Mm-hmm.
00:27:07Clifford, that's wonderful.
00:27:08You haven't visited the mine since the war.
00:27:10I've been fighting back.
00:27:12It appears our men have deserted us for the choleric stacks gates, according to Mrs. Bolton.
00:27:16Oh, Mrs. Bolton.
00:27:17Oh, yes.
00:27:17Mrs. Bolton's an excellent informant.
00:27:20I get a picture of Tevershall from her, which would require the services of a professional spy.
00:27:24You'd be amazed.
00:27:24Where are you going?
00:27:31Just to the woods.
00:27:34You seem rather restless of late.
00:27:37Do I?
00:27:38Are you happy?
00:27:39I hadn't thought about it.
00:27:43Why'd you ask?
00:27:44I couldn't bear it if you were unhappy.
00:27:47My love.
00:28:00Can I touch one?
00:28:01Oh, my.
00:28:06There you go.
00:28:09Isn't it adorable?
00:28:12Isn't it adorable?
00:28:15So little and so chic.
00:28:20He's one of the lively ones.
00:28:30There's nothing in this, is there?
00:28:34It's just that they're so unabraid.
00:28:39It's just that they're so unabraid.
00:29:05Just hold me, please.
00:29:35All right, Simpson, it's the ladyship, I'll go.
00:29:57I think Cook wants to see you.
00:29:58Oh, you ladyship, I was beginning to wonder what had become of you.
00:30:07Why on earth did you lock the doors?
00:30:09It was getting late.
00:30:10I naturally thought...
00:30:12It's never done.
00:30:13We don't lock our doors at this hour.
00:30:16Yes, my lady.
00:30:17Besides, I told Sir Clifford I was going out.
00:30:20Oh, Sir Clifford never asked for you.
00:30:23Shall I ask Mrs. Marshall to put dinner back a bit?
00:30:27Perhaps you might.
00:30:28Ten minutes.
00:30:29Very good, my lady.
00:30:30That'll give you time to dress.
00:30:34Sir Clifford took his degree at a German university.
00:30:37We both loved Germany before the war.
00:30:39Yes, yes.
00:30:42A terrible thing, the war.
00:30:45Ah, but possibly a bonus for our industry.
00:30:49Because, you see, Germany is restricted on her export of dyes.
00:30:54Aniline dyes, which ones she used to make from our coal.
00:30:58Really, Clifford?
00:31:00So now that competition is removed, we must make our own dyes.
00:31:03And why not a chemical works of beneficial colliering, producing coke for the blast furnaces of Sheffield, but also barrels of magic coal tar for all the colors of the rainbow?
00:31:13Yes, my dear.
00:31:14Yes, my dear.
00:31:14Soon when you walk the earth in goodly colors gloriously arrayed, you can reflect that all their beauty may be borrowed from the black coal seams under your feet.
00:31:23What do you say to that?
00:31:25Poor earth.
00:31:26Spencer's goodly colors were in the flowers.
00:31:29Now you'll tear them out to dig up your coal.
00:31:33Ah, well, that's progress for you, Lady Chatterley.
00:31:35Yes, Mr. Lindley, I'm afraid it is.
00:32:05You're quite late today.
00:32:32All right.
00:32:35Didn't you think I wanted to see you again?
00:32:38I want the folks that they all be thinking something.
00:32:41You'll be near every day.
00:32:44Why?
00:32:45Nobody knows.
00:32:47Are you sorry about the other day?
00:32:50Aye, in a way.
00:32:52Thought I'd done with all that.
00:32:54Now I've begun again.
00:32:55Begun what?
00:32:57Life.
00:32:59There's no keeping clear of it.
00:33:01If you know, you might as well die.
00:33:02Okay.
00:33:05Seems I'm to be broken open again.
00:33:08Well, I'm glad.
00:33:10But what when folk find out?
00:33:12Think about it.
00:33:14Think how lowered you'll feel.
00:33:17One of your husband's servants.
00:33:19Do you think I'm lowering myself?
00:33:21It's not that, your lady.
00:33:23Why can I call you your ladyship and then...
00:33:25I don't want you to call me your ladyship.
00:33:27I don't care about it.
00:33:29I hate it, really.
00:33:30I feel people are jeering at me when they're certain they are.
00:33:34Even you jeer at me.
00:33:35Me?
00:33:36I don't jeer at you.
00:33:38But think of the risk.
00:33:40Your ladyship carrying on with the gamekeeper.
00:33:43It's not as if I were a gentleman.
00:33:45I don't care.
00:33:46You should care.
00:33:48Don't care when it's too late.
00:33:49Don't put me off, please.
00:33:52Oh, it's another talk.
00:33:54You don't know what you're doing.
00:33:55You don't know what you're doing.
00:34:25What it is to touch thee.
00:34:41What it is to touch thee.
00:34:56No.
00:34:56No.
00:34:57No.
00:35:15Oh.
00:35:20Oh.
00:35:20Oh.
00:35:21Oh.
00:35:24Are you cold?
00:35:54Must go, the wonder.
00:36:24Oh, well, it's had to happen.
00:36:33I suppose it had.
00:36:40Say something to me.
00:36:44What should I say to you?
00:36:47You aren't sorry, are you?
00:36:49Me?
00:36:50No.
00:36:52Hey-o.
00:36:54No.
00:37:03Good night.
00:37:04Good night.
00:37:19Looks like trouble, sir.
00:37:43Sound the hornfield.
00:37:44Little needs to be here somewhere.
00:37:45What are they doing?
00:37:46I don't know, but I shall find out.
00:37:48These tricks have got to stop.
00:37:49Lindley!
00:37:55Ah.
00:37:58There's no change, sir Clifford.
00:38:00The men won't move the call tops.
00:38:01We'll see about that.
00:38:03Fields, help me out, please.
00:38:04What will you do?
00:38:06They must work.
00:38:07We shall see that they shall.
00:38:09How are you going to bully them into it?
00:38:11Need discipline.
00:38:13Drive.
00:38:13Either these men submit to my command,
00:38:16or they will starve.
00:38:17Hurry up, Fields.
00:38:18Clifford, must you.
00:38:21You can't believe in this sort of control.
00:38:23What sort should I believe in?
00:38:25The minds have got to pay.
00:38:27We've got to have some feeling for others.
00:38:29We're not women.
00:38:30We're men.
00:38:30You can't hew coal with emotion.
00:38:32Especially from a poor seam.
00:38:34I'm ready.
00:38:35Tell them to let it roll.
00:38:36I don't think the men will ship, sir Clifford.
00:38:37Not molester our class.
00:38:39They say if we move these doors, they're going to block...
00:38:41Carter rot.
00:38:46I am going down to inspect this mine.
00:38:50Now clear the gates.
00:38:52Anyone who gets in the way, he does so at his own risk.
00:38:57Release the brake.
00:38:58I don't know, sir Clifford.
00:38:59It might turn again.
00:39:00I said, let her go.
00:39:02It's all buff.
00:39:23You see?
00:39:24That's how we're going to win.
00:39:40Why?
00:39:41How's this?
00:39:43How did you get here?
00:39:46There.
00:39:47How did you?
00:39:52Are you going to the hut?
00:39:53No.
00:39:55You've been in the slip, Ike.
00:39:57Not now.
00:39:58Not now.
00:39:59Why not?
00:40:00Because I've got to run.
00:40:01I'm late.
00:40:01Hey.
00:40:02I want you.
00:40:04I want you now.
00:40:06Through you.
00:40:07Jill Bates.
00:40:19You've got to run.
00:40:21Let's go.
00:40:22Hey.
00:40:22Sure.
00:40:23Oh!
00:40:53Oh, no!
00:41:23We'll come off together that time.
00:41:28It's good when it's like that.
00:41:29Are you glad?
00:41:32Glad?
00:41:34Aye.
00:41:37But never mind.
00:41:39Have you come off together before?
00:41:42Where are the women?
00:41:44I don't know.
00:41:46I don't know.
00:41:53I don't mind, Heidi.
00:42:09There.
00:42:12You'll do.
00:42:13I don't know.
00:42:23You.
00:42:24I could die for the touch of a woman like you.
00:42:27And if they're new, they're just about to hang me as it is.
00:42:31Stop it.
00:42:32Stay a moment long.
00:42:33No, no, don't keep me.
00:42:36Shall you stay with me at the cottage one night?
00:42:38Shall I?
00:42:39Do you think you're dead?
00:42:40What's to stop you?
00:42:42Just open the door and go out.
00:42:44No, I don't know.
00:42:45Then I'll find you.
00:42:47I know where your bedroom is.
00:42:48You won't.
00:42:51I would.
00:42:52Even tonight.
00:42:54I'll find you.
00:42:54You wouldn't dare.
00:42:57Just run.
00:42:59Good night, you ladyship.
00:43:02Why did you say that?
00:43:04When are you gone?
00:43:06That's what you are to me.
00:43:09Good night.
00:43:11Oh, well done, Mrs. Bolton.
00:43:30Oh, am I so late?
00:43:32Have you had dinner?
00:43:34Yes, indeed, milady.
00:43:35Shall I ask Simpson to fetch you something on a tray?
00:43:38Oh, no, thank you.
00:43:40I went over to Marahay Farm to see the baby Mrs. Flint made me stay for tea.
00:43:44Oh, it's such a lovely baby.
00:43:47Did you wonder where I was?
00:43:48Well, we wondered, but we didn't think of sending her out to the police station just yet.
00:43:53Quite right, too.
00:43:55I was telling Sir Clefford, we ought to be very glad if our ladyship can get out and find a bit of company amongst the folks round here.
00:44:02Well, you finish your game.
00:44:04No, no, no, stay with me.
00:44:06Mrs. Bolton's had quiet enough for one evening.
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:09The two of you want to be alone.
00:44:11And I have a few things of my own I want to attend to.
00:44:14Really?
00:44:14I'll...
00:44:15No, please.
00:44:17Good night, Sir Clefford.
00:44:19Good night, Mrs. Bolton.
00:44:20Good night, milady.
00:44:21Good night, Mrs. Bolton.
00:44:25Well, shall we play a game?
00:44:27Or shall I read to you?
00:44:28Or what should it be?
00:44:30Well, whatever you like, dear.
00:44:32Then I shall read Racine to you in the Grand Manner in French.
00:44:39Good night.
00:44:39Good night, Mrs. Bolton.
00:44:43Oh, my gosh.
00:44:44Oh, my gosh.
00:44:45All right.
00:44:46Good night.
00:44:48Good night.
00:44:50Oh, my gosh.
00:44:51Oh, my gosh.
00:44:52We'll have to be in the Grand Manner.
00:44:53Oh, my gosh.
00:44:54I'll see you in the Grand Manner.
00:44:57You're going, see, Sir Clefford.
00:44:59There was a little 2009.
00:45:00Of course.
00:45:00Oh, my gosh.
00:45:02Oh, my gosh.
00:45:02Oh, my gosh.
00:45:02Oh, my gosh.
00:45:03Oh, my gosh.
00:45:03Oh, yes.
00:45:04Oh, my gosh.
00:45:06Oh, my gosh.
00:45:06Oh dear, dear me, can't sleep again Sir Clifford, what is it then, I don't know, in no man's
00:45:25land were you, no, no not tonight,
00:45:36I don't know, in there we go, do we go, do we go, do we go, do we go, do we go, do we go, do we go?
00:45:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45:57Yeah, yeah.
00:46:02oh yes this was a wedding present from one of sir clifford's aunts it's quite horrid
00:46:15it's perfect for a jungle sale she never visits us put it with the things to go
00:46:19it should fetch quite a bit i would think i wonder what this is well let's have a look
00:46:25oh it's an old cradle why so it is
00:46:32oh it's sweet but a bit cumbersome don't you think no i like it i like it very much it seems almost
00:46:40alive i suppose it's been used so often oh perhaps by sir clifford's father and his grandfather
00:46:47just fancy though in these old family houses things linger on no matter how the
00:46:55world changes it seems a pity there isn't a little baby to put in it now don't you think
00:47:02i suppose it is
00:47:04but there may be
00:47:09well that would be good news yes of course but you're not expecting are you
00:47:20well no no not as a certainty but you never know i mean he can't come in
00:47:28well that's what i thought myself just at first but then i got to thinking
00:47:32oh surely it's impossible oh yes you would think so of course sir clifford's legs are paralysed
00:47:38but you see um when i have to wash him you know uh down there it's surprising of course the poor man feels
00:47:48it's nothing i suppose but all the same
00:47:54wonders will never cease then
00:47:55it seems he can all but kill a man and he'll still be able to do something that way
00:48:01it's funny hmm did you know there's a rumor you're going to supply raggedy with an air
00:48:10no
00:48:13said a joke or malice
00:48:18i hope it may be prophecy
00:48:21and who may i ask as the prophet
00:48:25happily enough it was the rector i've just had him on the telephone
00:48:28he wanted me to be the first to know
00:48:30but since he just heard the news from his housekeeper i suppose it must be all over the entire village by now
00:48:35well fortunately the entire village knows that she's an incorrigible rumor monger
00:48:40the thing is do you mind turning around
00:48:44connie
00:48:49the thing is can you think how such a rumor could have started or whether there's any foundation for it
00:48:58there is no foundation for it as far as i know
00:49:02clifford there's this wonderful piece that i want you to read every time
00:49:06is there a man yet may one ask
00:49:08why should you ask clifford
00:49:09there might be
00:49:11quite
00:49:12might be
00:49:13between might be and maybe it's such a long stride
00:49:16if i were to say that i may be going to have a child
00:49:19what would you say
00:49:20what would you feel
00:49:22well is it true that you may be going to have a child
00:49:23no but i might be
00:49:25well when my change is to may i'll let you know how i feel
00:49:28until then i see no reasons to rack my brains
00:49:30rumor or no rumor
00:49:31no i suppose not
00:49:33look i don't care who the father may be
00:49:35give me the child of any healthy normally intelligent man and i'll make a perfect chattele of it
00:49:41hey i'll bear that in mind
00:49:42i told sir clifford i might have a child
00:49:49he told him that
00:49:55yes
00:49:57and you see i might
00:49:58and what did he say
00:50:04oh he wouldn't mind
00:50:07he'd be glad really
00:50:08so long as it appear to be his
00:50:10no mention of me of course
00:50:15no
00:50:18no
00:50:20no well
00:50:21he'd hardly be thrilled with me as his substitute
00:50:24when are you supposed to be getting this child
00:50:30i'll be going away this summer with my father and sister
00:50:34i might have a love affair then
00:50:36you might
00:50:38is that why you're going
00:50:40not to have the love affair
00:50:44just the appearance of one
00:50:46you'd think you'd found somebody higher up like
00:50:50what would he say if you thought it were me
00:50:53he'd hate it
00:50:56but you'd never tell him would you
00:50:59me
00:51:00no
00:51:01he'd never be the wiser if you waited for my telling
00:51:14that's what you wanted me for then was it

01:01:51as long as the one
01:01:52Fellas.
01:02:02Wonder what took him so long.
01:02:03Any other time the fool would have been poking his nose in before now.
01:02:10I thought I had trouble.
01:02:12Why should I?
01:02:13Apparently not.
01:02:14Has she run out of juice?
01:02:15Oh, no, I shouldn't think so.
01:02:17Field topped her up.
01:02:20She's overeated.
01:02:21Better let me push her, sir.
01:02:23No, no, no, she's done it before.
01:02:24Get off, get off, get off.
01:02:28The oripa gots out.
01:02:31Peppa.
01:02:33There, you see?
01:02:35You see, she's doing it.
01:02:36Are you pushing?
01:02:37Fine.
01:02:37I ask you not to.
01:02:40Let her try.
01:02:41She's got to do it.
01:02:42I've got to.
01:02:44Oh, can't her.
01:02:48We'll lose.
01:02:49She's coming and weep to their heart.
01:02:58Clifford, you'll break.
01:03:07It's obvious.
01:03:09I'm at everybody's mercy.
01:03:10I expect she'll have to be pushed home.
01:03:19Do you mind pushing me home, Mellors?
01:03:25And excuse anything I said.
01:03:28It's nothing to me.
01:03:29Are you ready, then, Sir Clifford?
01:03:44When you are.
01:03:45I'm going to push, too.
01:04:02Is that necessary?
01:04:03Barry, do you want to kill the man?
01:04:04It's all right, ladyship.
01:04:20I can manage you now.
01:04:21I'm afraid I was a bit short with Mellors today.
01:04:33The fellow shouldn't interfere.
01:04:34He's only trying to help.
01:04:36I don't want help that I don't ask for.
01:04:39I don't understand you.
01:04:41It would have been so much easier.
01:04:42Your sympathy's always with the servants and the underlings.
01:04:46Do Mellors no harm to sweat him a little.
01:04:49Take some of the impudence out of him.
01:04:51Weren't you impudent to him?
01:04:53No.
01:04:54Not as far as I was aware.
01:04:56You, of course, in your zeal for the servant classes,
01:05:00may have detected ill-treatment of the poor, down-trodden Mellors.
01:05:04But that is your weakness.
01:05:05Oh, my weakness?
01:05:06Yes.
01:05:07A feeling of sympathy, of kinship with the servant class.
01:05:11And what is this servant class?
01:05:13Because Mellors sweated and almost broke his back
01:05:17and pushed you all the way home as he the servant class.
01:05:20Evidently, or he wouldn't be in the position of having to do it.
01:05:22Oh, so if he was sitting in your chair with paralyzed legs,
01:05:26would you put him...
01:05:26Oh, of course not.
01:05:28Why on earth should I be grateful to him?
01:05:29I pay the man.
01:05:30Is he to do nothing for me?
01:05:31My gratitude is hateful.
01:05:32My dear Connie, I'm infinitely obliged to him, as I told him.
01:05:37What more would you have me do?
01:05:38I would have you be more aware of people.
01:05:40I would have you be a little less aware of that kind of people
01:05:42and a little more aware of the kind of people
01:05:44who are after all your own class.
01:05:46Apart from what we own,
01:05:48we make employment for Mellors and his type.
01:05:51We make it possible for the Mellors of this world to exist.
01:05:54We can live without them.
01:05:56What they must realize is that they cannot live without us.
01:06:00And therefore, they're not going to dictate terms.
01:06:02They'll never accept that.
01:06:03Then they shall have to be made to.
01:06:06What is Mellors, anyway?
01:06:08It's just a half-tame animal with a gun.
01:06:09What is Mellors?
01:06:13Oh, my God.
01:06:43Oh, my God.
01:07:13Oh, my God.
01:07:19You're well on time.
01:07:20Yes, it was perfectly easy.
01:07:22Are you all right?
01:07:23I was so afraid you'd hurt yourself this morning.
01:07:25Lift in the chair.
01:07:26No, I'm all right.
01:07:29I'd forgotten it were only this morning.
01:07:32Seems a long time since then, doesn't it?
01:07:33It's like years.
01:07:42There are so many strange little noises.
01:07:46Aye.
01:07:47It's the trees.
01:07:49Creaking and rubbing together.
01:07:51They're always moving.
01:07:53He's in themselves.
01:07:55Could say they was talking.
01:07:57Oh, wondrous.
01:07:58Did you leave the lights burning?
01:08:08I always do at night.
01:08:09A bit of matter in.
01:08:12Do you have something to eat?
01:08:13Some bread and cheese.
01:08:15Oh, thank you.
01:08:16But you eat.
01:08:17Yeah, I don't feel like eating if you don't.
01:08:18My feet got cold.
01:08:24Aye.
01:08:26Let's warm it off in here.
01:08:35It's me.
01:08:38Come here, then.
01:08:43You always slept here.
01:08:45Aye.
01:08:45Did your wife?
01:08:49Is this the bed where she slept and had your child?
01:08:51There's no other.
01:08:53Did you love your wife?
01:08:55She's not a nice woman.
01:08:57Never was.
01:08:58She cares for nobody.
01:08:59Not even a child.
01:09:01Anyhow, she's living with somebody else now.
01:09:04Then why don't you get a divorce?
01:09:06You're not even legally separated, are you?
01:09:09No.
01:09:11So what if she changes her mind?
01:09:13She won't come within a mile of me.
01:09:15She hates me a lot worse than I hate her.
01:09:21Enough.
01:09:21Enough.
01:09:21She's not a nice woman.
01:09:27She's not a nice woman.
01:09:28She's not a nice woman.
01:09:28She's not a nice woman.
01:09:29She's not a nice woman.
01:09:29She's not a nice woman.
01:09:30She's not a nice woman.
01:09:31She's not a nice woman.
01:09:31She's not a nice woman.
01:09:32She's not a nice woman.
01:09:32She's not a nice woman.
01:09:33She's not a nice woman.
01:09:33She's not a nice woman.
01:09:34She's not a nice woman.
01:09:35She's not a nice woman.
01:09:36She's not a nice woman.
01:09:37She's not a nice woman.
01:09:38She's not a nice woman.
01:09:39She's not a nice woman.
01:09:40She's not a nice woman.
01:09:41She's not a nice woman.
01:09:42She's not a nice woman.
01:09:43She's not a nice woman.
01:09:44She's not a nice woman.
