Lady Chatterley's Lover Page #4

Synopsis: In 1913 Connie Reid marries wealthy Nottingham colliery owner Sir Clifford Chatterley but he returns from the Great War disabled and in a wheelchair. Connie is loyal but begins to feel alienated as he engages a nurse, Mrs Bolton, to bathe him and excludes her from pit business. Despite his desire for an heir his impotency results in a lack of sexual activity and Connie is drawn to handsome Oliver Mellors, the plain-spoken former miner her husband has engaged as his game-keeper and who represents the passion she craves. They embark upon a physical affair in Oliver's cottage but are discovered and betrayed by Mrs Bolton. Connie, now carrying Oliver's child, must choose between a pampered but joyless existence with her husband or an uncertain future with the man she has come to love.

...in time, you will find your way.

- Good afternoon, Father.

- Good afternoon.

A period of trial.

Keep still, Mrs. B.

This is hard enough

without you fidgeting all the time.

- Oh, it's you.

- Not bad.

- Want to play seriously?

- If you like. Youll probably win.

I haven't got the hang of it this way.

Well, it'll be a change for me to win.

I hear you did something

rather out of character today.

- Went to church, did you?

- Yes.

What on earth for?

I thought I'd book an appointment

with the Holy Ghost.

Milady.

Sit.

- Yes, Mellors?

- Got that key for you, milady.

- Was it a lot of trouble?

- No. How could it be?

- Thank you, then.

- Come on.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

- Morning.

- Morning. Am I late?

- Not at all.

- Did you sleep well, milady?

Thank you, Mrs. Bolton.

Well, I'll have some breakfast.

Yes, see you later.

Go in there.

Come on, my little ones, come on.

Come on, my little ones, come on.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Shame about Sir Clifford, isn't it?

Fair, young wife and this land

and no children to pass it on to.

That shows how little you know.

Sir Clifford's getting stronger.

Thank you, Robert. That will be all.

My prescription seems to have worked.

- Youve done wonders for Clifford.

- I meant fresh air, healthy activity.

It's not much of a life for a woman

if her heart never works.

There's many who have no real hearts.

But if you've got a heart,

you don't want to live for money.

I'm sure you're right.

If there's something to make one say

more than one should, it's because...

...you're a true woman and a body's

heart burns for you, not against you.

I know you wouldn't do

anything against me.

Neither shall anyone else

if I can help it.

Good girl.

- Hello.

- Hello.

You weren't ill then.

Nurse went away,

so I stayed with Sir Clifford.

I see.

- What lovely, soft creatures.

- Aye, pretty young things.

- There.

- Come, baby.

- They don't like me.

- Then we'll find one that does.

Go on.

It's not worth crying for.

There, there.

It's all right.

Youre beautiful.

So beautiful.

I'm sorry I'm late. Why don't

I do that today? Youre excused.

I'm sorry I'm late. Why don't

I do that today? Youre excused.

- Very good, milady.

- What a nice idea.

Want a game in a minute?

I don't want to beat you again.

You won't today. I've been practising.

- Don't go, Mrs. Bolton.

- Excuse me, milady.

- Join us, you're part of the family.

- Thank you.

- How do you like your tea?

- Very strong, lots of sugar.

Strong, sweet tea.

I got the taste from my husband.

- Is it many years since he died?

- I was 24.

- How awful.

- Yes, same age you were widowed, Con.

Now, we're going to get you
