I placed the child, Beth,
with a family in the country -
1:27:09
- where I knew she would be looked
after. I saw her whenever I could.
1:27:14
She grew up so headstrong, -
1:27:18
- and, God forgive me,
I allowed her too much freedom.
1:27:24
Almost a year ago she disappeared.
1:27:28
I instigated a search, but for
eight months I imagined the worst.
1:27:32
On the day of the Delaford picnic,
I received the first news of her.
1:27:39
She was ... with child.
1:27:43
And the blackguard who had left her
with no hint of his whereabouts ...
1:27:55
Do you mean Willoughby?
1:28:00
Before I could confront him.
Lady Allen had turned him out.
1:28:06
- He fled to London.
- He left without any explanation.
1:28:11
He risked losing the estate, and the
money that remained to his debtors.
1:28:18
So he abandoned Marianne -
1:28:22
- for Miss Grey
and her 50.000.
1:28:29
Is Beth still in town?
1:28:32
She has chosen to go to the country
for her confinement.
1:28:43
I would not burden you,
had I not, from my heart, -
1:28:48
- believed it might, in time,
lessen our sister's regrets.
