But I reconsidered.

Oh, well, hm.

I don't suppose
I can criticize you for that.

You were always a strange,
outspoken

young lady.

What will become of you,
I wonder?

I shall find a way to live my life
on my own terms, Lady Denham.

[CHUCKLES]

Just as you have.

Hmm.

Very well.

Whatever Mr. Colbourne

has offered,

I shall match it.

I won't be made to look
a miser by him.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

I should never have
doubted you.

You have been let down
so many times, by so many people.

I was quite lost
when you arrived.

I'm so ashamed of the woman
I had become.

Using my fortune
for selfish ends.

I want you to have it.

I cannot undo the past,
but...

You can take Father's money

and use it for good.

You are more than capable
of doing that yourself.

There is someone else
of my acquaintance who would

be well-positioned
to help you.

Who?

Someone who plainly loves

and respects you
for the woman you are.

Otis Molyneux.

I saw the look in your eye
the first time I mentioned his name.

It was so different from
the way you looked at Harry.

I feared you were making
a terrible mistake,

but I didn't say anything
in case I was wrong.

So,

I went to London.

I spoke to Otis.

He was reluctant at first,

respectful that you were about
to be married.

But then he told me
of your history,

[SOFT MUSIC]

and I was left
with no doubt.

I am not willing

I propose that I will come
