You can not leave her alone with me.

Yes, I realize it's a bore, Everett.

Not at all, I mean it is wrong.

By God.

I will make Ms. McFail stay, if you care about the locals.

I'm not worried locals.

John, do not mind at all your wife's reputation.

Leave it completely alone with another man,

a single man.

I would have loved this as a child.

Where I grew up there were mountains.

- Do you really liked? - Yup.

See that bush with thorns?

My mother had fairies under the trees, told me.

I believed him absolutely, had breakfast and brought him something.

And of course, in the morning it was always eaten by a fox,

.. Or something, only further proved its existence.

One Christmas my mom prepared a ham.

I thought that fairies are deserved.

I went to the pantry to cut a slice and could not.

So I took it whole.

I discovered course,

and that was the end of the tale.

And happiness of foxes.

There were over a thousand in each conference was a success.

But the prize was horrible headaches.

- I hope Effy was not rude. - Of course not.

Women should rely on them to get jobs.

Instead of constantly ask companionship and attention.

Sorry.

Where have you been?

In the rain.

- Where? - Wherever.

Where they brought me my feet.

Jeez, dress clothes or get sick.

I am sick, sick of who I am.

Do not know how you stand it.

I can not continue to witness this torture,

when I can not stop it, or do anything.

Tell me what I should do.

What I can do?

Nothing to do.

We return to London,

I need to see what my book.

- I can not go back. - We leave on Monday.

I can not go back.

The pains of eternal torment would not be worse than return to Denmark Hill you.

I did not ask your opinion, just informed you.

I can not go back.

Do not think your behavior here has escaped me. Do Not.

On the contrary, I've seen what you're trying to hide.

Want to lose your reputation in the world?

It would be a good piece of work for your father bankrupt.

No pressure me more, Eufemia.

For your own good.

You hate.

It has been listening and watching,

knows.

You want to ruin me? Put me in a compromise?

I can never visit you in Denmark Hill.

You need someone with you, think about it.

I do not know ... maybe my sister Sofia.

Your visit will not raise suspicions.

Then you must organize it.

- Mr Mc Fail, we are ready. - Yes, sir.

Everett, you can help my wife.

Do not do that, dear.

You sound like an idiot.

You are here and we have not yet received the portrait of Mr. Milais.

I think in January seek time to finish posing.

Well, I have wanted to see.

Or maybe darling can mention it the next time you write him.

I do not write.

This is a new addition to our cellar.

I think we should educate our palate the flavors,

German wine before our trip.

My son.

Will you go away?

All will.

Do I have to go?

But nobody said ...

No start discussing something that was agreed for months.

I do not know why you think you need to see the city Sofia.

What's wrong with Beckham?

He said he wanted to see it.

- I did not say. - Shh. You can listen.

Let's see a friend of mine.

- Everett? - What did they say about him?

Nothing, John said you made unhappy Everett.

In the same way you made him unhappy.

- Who is Everett? - A friend.

- But we will not see it? - Sophia, please.

But John had to teach safe,

he must ...

Let me understand, you say I do,

yet at this time do not understand,

the details of the most intimate relationship in marriage?

What you have never experienced?

He has never touched me.

He's never done me his wife.

Because he was disgusted by my body that first night.

Then he told us to wait,

until he was twenty.

By then said that I did not like and that would be a sin.

And a worse sin to have children.

Because it was evil, and probably insane.

And he ...

Will never after that time, sought a relationship?

Never.

I've never heard anything so cruel, man must be ...

If he has not done his wife physically,

I think you're not his wife.

But I have no knowledge of these matters.

I'll legal and social inquiry,

discreetly clear.

I beg you still do not argue with him.

I must say that I've read all his books,

and I always found eccentric, but now,

is more peculiar.

And difficult to understand.

You can sit, Ms. Raskins.

You must be crazy.

Whose is it?

Effy.

Honey, there's nothing else you can do.

You have to let things take their course.

Among ...

Please sit down.

I have the report of Dr. Lee ... here.

You said he thinks her husband is crazy.

It is interesting, but madness is not enough,

for wanting a divorce.

If it were, half of marriages in London would be in danger.

But the thing is this.

We found that the usual signs of virginity are perfect.

And she is naturally formed for it.

Well ... There it is,

I must say, in all my years ...

It is an unprecedented case, Ms. Raskins.

But I'm sure we can seek annulment of their marriage.

Based on the non-consummation.

However, we must be cautious,

it is better to stay away from her husband,

as you can, by Precautions In.

Tell me.

Say you do not make more effort than normal,

for I do want to have sex.

Spend a lot of time writing.

If my angel it is.

I have written two books on modern painting.

One of the architecture.

And this ... for Venice.

It is a rather large book.

And then I will write a book so great,

and will be about the conduct of your sister.

Their iniquity, but do not tell him,

because then you hate.

That is our secret.

Do not worry, it does not hurt.

Thank you, George.

George.

What have you done? By God.

I have not done anything.

Dress up before my mother sees you.

I will not.

You disgust me.

I received a letter,

my mother.

Strange too Sofia and asked me to return to Scotland.

Then I suggest you start packing.

What does Mom?

Not Mom.

Check back your room for you there is nothing.

Thank you, George.

I wish you happiness, lady.

A lot of suitcases for such a short visit.

George, no...

My name is John, actually ...

- Where is Sophia? - Arriba.

We can not have two John at home,

so Mr Geoge chose for me.

- Not cared. - He should care.

You removed your name.

Sofia miss the train.

Start with suitcases, George.

It makes no sense to join us.

Alfred can find a cabin, and I know I have work.

You could help me up, John.

What are you doing?

Set it here.

What will you do with that?

Leave it there, it's when Alfred return the carriage.

Will not be angry?

It is simply one of the most beautiful paintings in the world.

You should be proud.

Mr. Raskins, there is a man at the door for you.

Where are we?

You have to help.

- Mr. John Raskins. - Yup.

I have a summons to court.

- For the Court? - Who?

From Mrs. Raskins.

The accused should receive the same papers, sir.

It is a question of law.

And on what concerns?

It is a private matter, sir.

You can say it.

Well ... it's a petition for annulment of their marriage, sir.

Based on what?

It is a delicate matter, sir.
