- Here's your paper, Mr. Fleury.
- Thank you, boy.

:55:41
"The Fleury family is a perfect example
of the problems faced...

:55:44
"by many of the old families
on this island.

:55:46
"For 300 years, there has been
marriage and intermarriage...

:55:49
"with nobody sure
of their precise ancestry.

:55:52
"But a veil of secrecy, whispers and innuendo
has been drawn across this problem.

:55:58
"Julian Fleury was
brought up in England.

:56:02
"A distinguished Wessex family
was delighted 35 years ago...

:56:05
"when he proposed marriage
to their youngest daughter.

:56:08
"Presumably, they did not know
that Julian Fleury's mother...

:56:12
who died in childbirth,
was a Jamaican with colored ancestry."

:56:19
Is it true?
:56:34
It's true.
:56:37
What were you lashing out at
when you tried to slap me?

:56:40
Your own guilt?
Your betrayal of us?

:56:42
- Betrayal? Your mother never knew.
- She knew.

:56:44
- Didn't you, Mother?
- Yes, I knew.

:56:48
But how?
:56:50
An anonymous letter.
It came years ago.

:56:54
- And you never mentioned it.
- I saw no reason to.

:56:57
I wanted to keep things
as they were.

:56:59
- Faithful wife, noble mother-
- Maxwell, stop it!
