@ greenhorg that's right, she really wasn't in love with him.
The movie actually makes it clear with the last intertetitles, that says something like "how she lied to Mr. Emerson" just right before she "confesses" her love to George, making it clear she really wasn't in love with him. She was however in love with another man, her brother (as strange as it might sound). Take a closer look at the way she watches her brother constantly and the small hints of sexual tensions whenever she talks about him to her "supposed" lovers, Cecil and George. Take also special notice of how she reacts in the bathing scene and how differently she looks at each one of them. And like you pointed out she seems more interested in the letter from her brother than in her husband in the final scene.

These Victorian romance films...I guess they just aren't my cup of tea because I don't see what is so appealing about them. 7 years 8 months ago
