1:26:00
Did you know that the
12th Lord Beldon was hanged?
1:26:03
He was beheaded.
1:26:04
Such things happen in the best families.
1:26:06
- Usually in the best families.
- In fact, what interested me most...
1:26:10
...was the extreme youth of the
Beldon brides. This Gilbert Beldon...
1:26:14
...who went on the Crusades, married an
Isabelle Du Something-or-other, age 12.
1:26:18
I did not come here to chatter pedigrees.
I'm old-fashioned. I believe in breeding.
1:26:23
- That's neither here nor there.
- Your point is, they're too young.
1:26:26
I've said so, haven't I?
1:26:29
We're at war, Lady Beldon.
And Vin's a flyer.
1:26:32
It's no excuse for rushing into
an ill-considered marriage.
1:26:35
But in war, time is so precious
to the young people.
1:26:39
- How old were you when you married?
- I?
1:26:42
It's no use telling fibs...
1:26:44
...because I looked you up.
- Oh, well, if you've looked me up...
1:26:48
...I suppose you know that I was 16.
1:26:52
- Sixteen. And did your parents approve?
- That's beside the point.
1:26:56
Oh, forgive me. Is it?
1:26:58
You married very young,
without your parents' consent...
1:27:01
...and yet when Carol...
1:27:04
- Oh, but perhaps you regretted it.
- I did nothing of the kind.
1:27:08
- Then why...?
- My marriage lasted a few weeks.
1:27:11
My husband was in the army.
He was killed in action.
1:27:14
Oh, I'm so sorry. Forgive me.
I didn't know.
1:27:17
I never regretted it.
Not for one moment.
1:27:20
We married because
we knew that might happen.
1:27:23
But I don't want Carol to suffer
as I suffered.
1:27:27
Don't you want her to be happy,
even for a little while...
1:27:30
...the way you were?
1:27:32
I was afraid you'd say that.
1:27:34
Not that it matters what you say.
Or what I say, either.
1:27:37
You know that, don't you?
1:27:39
You mean, Carol will go her own way?
1:27:42
She's my granddaughter.
1:27:45
Well, then why?
1:27:47
Goodness knows.
1:27:49
I was beaten before I started.
1:27:52
You don't mind terribly, do you?
1:27:55
He is a nice boy.
1:27:58
Yes.
