for children and old men...
...that means that, outside of marriage...
...your Victorian gentleman could
look forward to 2.4 fucks a week!
(humming)
(whistling)
(twig snaps)
I'm very sorry to disturb you.
(knocking)
All right. I'm comin'!
For the lovely young lady upstairs.
And... for the even more lovely one down.
How much do I owe you?
- A penny?
- Mm.
Thank you very much.
- Do you know that lady?
- Aye.
- Does she come this way often?
- Often enough.
But she be no lady.
She be the French lieutenant's whore.
From Mr Charles, Miss Tina,
with his compliments.
- Did he bring them himself?
- No, Miss.
- Where is Mr Charles?
- Dunno, Miss. Didn't ask him.
Ask who?
- His servin' man, Miss.
- But I heard you speak with him.
- Yes, Miss.
- What about?
Oh, it was just the time of day, Miss.
You will kindly remember
that he comes from London.
Yes, Miss.
If he makes advances,
I wish to be told at once.
Now bring me some barley water.
Madam?
Madam?
I'm very sorry to have
disturbed you just now.
I gather you've recently become...
secretary to Mrs Poulteney.
May I accompany you? Since
we walk in the same direction.
I prefer to walk alone.
- May I introduce myself?
- I know who you are.
- Ah. Then...
- Kindly allow me to go on my way alone.
And please tell no one that
you have seen me in this place.
"Miss Woodruff."
Wait a minute. I lost the place.
Page 50. I suddenly see you. You've
got your dress caught in the brambles.
I see you, then you see me. We look at
each other, and I say "Miss Woodruff."
All right.
Right. I see you.
Get your coat caught in the brambles.
Right.
Now I'm looking at you.
You see me.
- "Miss Woodruff."
- I'm looking at you.
But now you come
towards me to pass me.
It's a narrow path, and it's muddy.
- You slip in the mud...
- Ow!
...and I help you up.
- Let's just do it again, OK?
- All right.
- Let's just do it again.
All right...
I've got my dress caught in the brambles.
Suddenly you see me.
Then I see you.
"Miss Woodruff."
I dread to think what would happen...
...if you should one day
turn your ankle in a place like this.
I must go back.
Permit me to say something first.
I know I am a stranger to you, but...
(dog barking)
Down here, here in this hollow.
Come on.
Here. Here.
Heel!
It's really not necessary to hide.
No man who cares for his good name can
be seen with the scarlet woman of Lyme.
Miss Woodruff... I've heard
something of your circumstances.
It cannot be any great pleasure
being in Mrs Poulteney's employ.
Why don't you leave Lyme? I understand
you have excellent qualifications.
