surely.
You don't know
what you're talking about.
If rich people fail at one profession.
they can try another.
But with us, once a man over 20
loses his own particularjob. he's done for.
I'd do anything in the world
to help you.
Well, help me row then.
I'm tired.
You're the one person
who ever has helped me.
You mean by passing on false information
to make you give up yourjob?
I mean by being
the sort of person you are.
I didn't think people like you existed
except in books. and books aren't real.
Oh, no. They're more real
than anything.
When people fail you,
there's still music and meaning.
That's for rich people. to make them
feel good after their dinner.
Everything's got spoiled
for you. hasn't it?
Don't know what's
to be done, Tibby.
Or what to say to Meg.
Don't want to face her
or even to go back to Wickham Place.
You mean because of Mr. Wilcox
and the woman you say he seduced...
in Cyprus?
I want you to give Meg my love
and tell her
tell her I'm going away
to Germany... to Munich or else Bonn.
Such a message is easily given.
[ Sighs ] God. I wish I could escape
from Meg's wedding too.
Is she going through with it? How
is it possible for our Meg to be a Wilcox?
- And now, after all this?
- You'd much better go away to Germany.
- [ Knocking ]
- There's Martlett with the Apple Charlotte.
Do you mind if I take it from him?
It spoils with waiting.
Ah, Martlett.
- Not now. Um, later.
Thank you very much.
I feel no, I know
we owe the Basts some compensation.
- Those people again?
- Yes, those people again.
Don't see who is to pay if I don't.
I'm placing what I consider...
is a minimum amount
to your account...
and when I'm in Germany.
you'll pay it to the Basts.
I shall never forget your kindness.
Tibbikins. ifyou do this.
- What's the sum?
- 5.000.
- Good God!
- It's useless giving out driblets ofcharity...
just shillings and blankets.
No doubt people
will think me mad.
I don't give a damn
what people think...
but I do mind ifyou ruin yourself
for some quixotic reason ofyour own.
I don't expect you
to understand me.
- I understand nobody.
- But you'll do it?
Apparently.
Are you writing to your brother?
Yes. and a long lecture
to go with it.
- Your sister could afford a fiver.
- Leave me alone!
Why are you taking it out on me?
You can see I'm busy.
can't you?
[ Leonard ] Dear Mr. Schlegel,
I acknowledge receipt...
ofyour letter
dated second ofOctober...
enclosing a check
for L5,000.
I am very grateful foryour concern,
but having no immediate necessity...
I have the honor
to return your check herewith.
Yours sincerely, Leonard Bast.
[ Low Chattering ]
Um, sorry to botheryou.
I worked in this office
for four years.
any vacancies at the moment?
No. no, I'm sorry.
I've nothing.
- Nothing at all?
- Nothing at this time.
Thank you for your time.
[ Henry ] All right.
The servants will have the benefit...
of the central heating if we
keep them here instead of at the back.
- That's what the architect prefers.
- If only it would hurry up and get itself built.
All in good time.
- I'm getting tired of living in London.
- Are you?
- I can't be as young as I was.
- Yeah?
I'm perfectly happy to do without all
the new plays and discussion societies and
Mr. Shaw. M r. Wells
and all your utopias.
What I miss are trees
and mountains and meadows.
Yes.
- I also miss my own things.
- They're safe enough at Howards End.
And of course I'm very grateful
to have them there.
I would so like to see everything
in our own home.
My share at least. Goodness only knows
what Tibby intends to do with his.
Or Helen.
There's been another postcard
from her.
Still the same poste restante address
in Bavaria.
- But now she speaks of going to Italy.
- Is she never coming back to England?
She's been away now
How long has it been?
It will be four months
and three weeks on Tuesday.
Yes.
Your sister is odd.
She always has been.
There's no getting away from it.
What is this?
What you been reading now?
- Theo
- Theosophy.
Oh, yes.
[ Laughing ]
Madame Blavatsky.
Now. what a clever little woman it is.
You see, that's
what I mean about Helen.
She reads these things,
and her mind gets addled.
My Margaret,
- What facts are those. dear?
- Hmm?
About men and women
and all that sort ofthing.
Who is who and what is what.
Yes. Now, what is that?
Mr. Schlegel, sir,
you've forgotten these.
- Ah. thank you, Martlett.
- Thank you. sir.
Ah.
Oh. dear. Annie.
Look. it's another one.
And no letter.
[ Margaret ] See, I just can't feel
that Helen's really alive.
These postcards and telegrams
don't seem to have come from her.
They're That's not her.
I know what you mean.
You'll break that
ifyou keep fiddling with it.
- [ Margaret ] Well, put it on.
- Oh!
[ Margaret ]
Give me my card.
[ Helen ] M.J. Schlegel, The Rise,
Straight Fleming, Devon.
Dearest Meg,
arriving London Thursday.
Please telegraph, care my bank,
whetherAuntJuley is better...
Give my love to the invalid
and keep some foryourselves. Helen.
If only you had a companion
to take your walks with.
I have Tibby. dear Aunt Juley.
And it won't be long
Thank you, Maggie
before you'll be up and about.
When is Helen coming?
Very soon. dear. She will already
have reached London.
[ Whispering ]
She's got to London all right.
- Yes, but
- She says to telegraph ifAunt Juley is better.
Obviously, ifyou want to see her.
you must telegraph she's not better.
We can't start lying
to each other. Helen wouldn't
- Shh!
- She couldn't stay away at such a time.
[ Margaret ]
Dearest Helen, AuntJuley better...
and eagerly expecting you,
as am I.
Your Meg.
[ Helen ]
Telegraph to bank whereabouts
our books and furniture. Helen.
Why did she have
to go back to Germany?
I'll explain it all to you
after your nap.
She might have come to see her old aunt.
I haven't been well.
Is cook doing the mackerel
the way Tibby likes them?
I know his whole day is spoiled
if his breakfast isn't right.
The mackerel were perfect. In fact. Tibby
particularly mentioned them this morning.
Don't tell me. Tibby,
that it is still that business...
over Henry and that woman.
Mrs. Bast.
Goodness me. How morbid.
His wife forgives him...
and his sister-in-law cannot bear
to look upon his face.
I don't believe it.
Not even of Helen.
[ Tibby ]
We know to what extremes Helen goes.
We've all suffered
under her temperament.
But this is different. This is
not temperament, but a kind of madness
as if she were mad.
Margaret. you've got black marks
again under your eyes.
You know that's strictly forbidden.
