But are you wise?

You must understand that we

want her with us, at home.

Her daughter will be motherless

and our home will be broken up.

If you grant my request

you'll earn our thanks.

Of course you won't be without a

reward, for your disappointment.

What reward?

How about 1000 lire?

1500?

- No, no.

all right 2000 you can get it tonight.

No, it's too late. Because...

Perch ci siamo sposati.

We're married. We did it as

we were told that you were coming.

You've traveled all this way for nothing.

With all of your generosity.

I'm rude.

I am no better than a peasant.

Miss Abbott?

Miss Abbott?

Miss Abbott.

He assaulted me.

Can you believe it - in my own room?

I am not staying here, I can't.

Its too late to leave now,

but I'll leave first thing in the morning.

Its lucky for him I'm English.

I can't stay here.

I daren't.

You must take me with you.

So you knew they were married?

I could prosecute him,

but I won't.

'As you can guess, my life is

very active with much to do'

'My time is mostly taken up with

the little house we've bought,'

'just outside the Volterra Gate,

where Gino and I first met.'

'Philip probably knows it well.'

' I can't thank him enough. If it

hadn't been for Philip none of this...

...could possibly have happened.'

Well done, Philip. - Shut up Harriet.

- It was your bright idea to send her to Italy.

She's been seduced by a

country, not by a peasant...

...but that's not something

I'd expect you to understand.

You mean like you were?

She proved herself completely

incapable of running...

...a house in England,

in spite of all my help.

I hardly feel she'll fare much better in Italy.

Harriet, we must reply at once.

Tell Signora Carella,

That all future communications should

be addressed to the Solicitors.

And I'll ask for the return of my

inlaid box which I lent to her,

for her collars and

handkerchiefs....lent, not gave.

Signora.

A letter to the English lady.

Wait.

Thank you.

What I have to sacrifice for a life with you.

- the inlaid box, don't send it back.

Your Fool. Life, I mean.

The Herritons are very well connected;

they are the leaders of Sawston society.

But what do I care, I just have

my wonderful, lovely, lovely boy.

Very beautiful.

Go and play Pallone.

I'm a married man.

I'm not playing games anymore.

Go and visit your friends, then.

I have no friends now.

- You can't stop indoors all day.

I want to see no one but you.

Silly thing, silly thing.

Go and see your friends

and bring them to me.

I want to see people, I love society.

You did not want to receive my relatives.

- I am not talking about your relatives.

I said I did not want to live
