The Scandalous Lady W Page #2

I will be tender, madam.

You are the purest pure.

You are beautiful, madam.

And you are fair handsome,

sir... and that I am grateful.

Your husband is a damned fool.

But, fool such as he is...

.. this is his dearest wish.

Was Deerhurst not kind to you?

He was very kind indeed, sir.

And yet, you are displeased?

No.

I would not say I was displeased.

Are you happy now?

Yes. Yes.

And if Deerhurst came to

play rantum-scantum again,

you would not mind?

No, I would not mind, Richard...

if it would make you happy and

it would improve our union.

Thank goodness, Deerhurst, it is you.

Forgive my appearance, my dear.

Captain Bisset, I presume.

My Lord.

Is my Mary here with Jane?

Seymour, I'm sorry to bear bad news.

Sir Richard is already in London.

The Right Honourable Viscount Deerhurst.

Mr Farrar, my attorney.

- My lord.

- Sir.

So she sent you, we wondered

where you were about.

He always was her lap dog.

I'm charged with a message, sir.

Lady Worsley having for some

time past received many...

- slights and inattentions

from Sir Richard. - My lord...

Which she could bear no longer.

As she has had for some time past

a partiality for Captain Bisset,

she has taken the opportunity

of availing her self of it.

She is so resolved to abide by it that,

in case Sir Richard should

force her back again,

which as her husband he certainly

has the right to do,

Lady Worsley wishes you to know, sir,

she would do the same again

whenever she could.

Punk.

Common whore.

Well, if that is her

ladyship's fixed resolution,

perhaps she should give her assistance

towards obtaining a divorce.

I believe a divorce is what

Lady Worsley wishes for.

There will be no divorce.

Was Jane with him?

- Did you see my Mary?

- No, I did not.

Perhaps they remain elusive.

Seymour, he was with a lawyer.

What?

A lawyer?

Speak to Richard.

If you wish for a divorce, look him

in the eye and ask him for one.

I do not have to do anything

Richard bids me to do any more.

I do as I please.

I am happy now.

- He knows my wishes, you expressed

them. - Seymour, please.

I did my duty to him as his wife

and I obliged his every whim.

I will not go to him,

sir, he must let ME go.

Lady Worsley must understand

she now has a clear choice.

She may return home to us and

we undertake to forgive her.

If she does not, there will be a trial

and I will prosecute Captain Bisset.

He will pay and she will condemn

them both to a life of penury.

I see.

If I may, surely given the...

extraordinary intimacy of your

friendship with Captain Bisset,

you may meet with him and talk with him.

She is my wife and she

is mine and mine alone
