How will Victoria look at you?
What will be her feelings toward you?
I've asked myself these very questions.
There are no answers.
I simply have to take a chance.
I love her.
Can you be sure
that Victoria will love you?
I have reason to believe
she'll hate me.
Don't ask me why. It's just part
of that chance I must take.
Has Singleton consented to marry you?
I haven't asked her yet.
I thought I should speak to you first.
Of course, you don't know me. But...
I know a great deal about you.
I've made it my business to inquire.
And your answer?
I never want to interfere again.
I did once.
What do you mean?
What I mean is no concern of yours.
Have you obtained
the permission of the Church?
Could such a marriage be solemnized?
The Bishop wants to see Singleton
personally before he gets his decision.
He asked me to bring her to him.
You know that I love my ward very much.
Yes.
I wanted her to be happy.
And for her sake...
won't you tell me
what happened that night?
Have you read yet
accounts of the trial?
Yes
And you still wish
Yes
Then that's all you have to know.
of the decision of the Church.
If you can get the bishop's
permission,
you'll have my consent.
I am glad you came, my child.
And I do enjoy talking to you.
Well, thank you.
It was kind of you to invite us.
I've always wanted to see a bishop.
For God sakes, Singleton!
Well, it's true.
Oh what... no.
Please do.
Oh thank you. It's beautiful.
I've never seen anything so beautiful.
And this. Isn't this lovely?
Tell me. Are you quite content
to be called Singleton?
Don't you want
a Christian name sometime?
Oh, no. I don't mind it, really.
Lots of people in the Bible
got on well with one name.
Some others not so well with two.
- You read your Bible?
- Yes. I do.
Do you like reading it?
Yes. I like it very much.
I particularly like that sentence.
if he shall gain the whole world
and lose his own soul. "
I always feel as if it
were written for me.
Why?
Because, you see,
I've lost the whole world.
And gained my own soul.
That may be true, my child.
Yes.
Yes, you see, now I can look at
the world through my own eyes.
As if it were a new world,
seen for the first time.
That's the way we all should look at it.
In spite of our memories.
Do you like what you see?
Oh yes, I love it.
I love everything.
I especially like the country.
I've never lived in the country.
And it's so full of surprises.
I love the fields and gardens.
You have a beautiful garden.
I've never seen anything like it.
And those trees!
What kind of trees are they?
Mary, Mary. This is your department.
But where have the flowers?
We haven't had any for some time.
But we're quite proud of our vegetables.
- Are you interested in gardening?
- Oh, yes, I am.
Come along.
Thank you. I love to Alan are you...?
No, no. I'll wait here.
Her mind is clear. Her soul, innocent.
Both of you
have a great deal of courage.
I feel safe
in entrusting Singleton to your care.
- I shall permit your marriage.
- Thank you, sir!
Oh, Alan, isn't that beautiful?
I think I better get you home.
Oh, no, don't. Let's stay.
Let's make the day
last as long as possible.
Do you think
that time passes slower outside?
No, but once you bring me home,
today will be over.
And... and you don't want it
to end just yet.
I never want it to end.
Alan, I'm sorry about the difficulties.
What difficulties?
Difficulties about me that you
had to discuss with the Bishop.
How do you know
what I discussed with the Bishop?
I'd like to think of you being so kind.
You went around and consulted people
to make sure they'd permit it
before you spoke to me.
But what about Victoria Morland?
Singleton.
That's gone and finished.
My past is as dead as yours.
We're making a new beginning together.
You don't want me to ask
questions about it?
I want you to trust me.
I trust you, Alan.
I know you love me.
But...
You can't really know
until you find her again.
If you don't, you'll never be sure.
I am.
I am sure.
Singleton, if you love me,
you'll forget that name.
I love you.
Singleton, will you marry me?
Singleton!
What's the matter?
I don't know.
I knew what you were going to say.
I'd thought about it. I was happy.
Yet when I heard you say it...
I heard you say
"will you marry me?"...
something happened.
It frightened me. I don't know why.
Something out of your past?
Alan, there's something in my past.
I don't know what it is.
But it's something horrible.
If I remember,
someday it may hurt you.
And I couldn't bear to hurt you.
Singleton, nothing could
hurt me except to lose you.
People get married
and face the future together.
And they're not afraid.
We have to face the future and the past.
That's the only difference.
Say it again.
Say it again. I want to see
whether it frightens me again.
I love you, Singleton.
Will you marry me?
Yes!
I'm worried, Alan.
I'm really worried.
She's been married before.
So what might it do to her?
The repetition
of such an important event.
What is the ceremony brings
everything back to her?
She's been very happy and excited
as a child for the last few days.
But this ceremony may bring back
all the terrible memories.
I know.
What if she suddenly awakens
to remember
she had a husband whom she murdered?
And then learned that you were
responsible for her tragedy.
Aren't you afraid, Alan?
I simply can't permit myself to be.
They're ready, Mr. Alan.
I, Alan, I take thee, Singleton,
to my wedded wife.
I, Alan, I take thee, Singleton,
to my wedded wife.
To have and to hold
from this day forward.
To have and to hold
from this day forward.
- For better for worse.
- For better for worse.
- For richer for poorer.
- For richer for poorer.
- In sickness and in health.
- In sickness and in health.
- To love and to cherish.
- To love and to cherish.
- Till death do us part.
- According to God's holy ordinance,
- According to God's holy ordinance,
- And thereto I plight thee my trough.
- And thereto I plight thee my trough.
I, Singleton, take thee, Alan,
to my wedded husband.
I, Singleton, take thee, Roger,
to my...
Oh, I'm so sorry. I...
What made me say that?
I'm so sorry.
Don't be afraid, my child.
It's natural that a young bride
should feel deeply
the import of the solemnity.
And a mistake can be forgiven.
Repeat after me.
I, Singleton, take thee, Alan,
to my wedded husband.
I, Singleton, take thee, Alan,
to my wedded husband.
To have and to hold
from this day forward.
To have and to hold
from this day forward.
How do you like your house?
My house!
Oh, it sounds wonderful, Alan.
My house.
And my ring.
I love it, Alan, because it's so simple.
Oh, it's a beautiful house, Alan.
