It's been a couple years since I've seen this movei based on the A.S. Batt novel but...Kristen Scott Thomas plays the family's governess, not one of the daughters.
The hero's not really what I'd call dour (just a bit reserved and brainy, which is not the same thing at all, and besides he's Welch (as is the actor playing him).
I don't remember the ill-fated union producing anything like 5 kides. (I think it was a singleton and one set of twins.)
But A&I is a nicely done, intelligent and rather subtle period film. I have it on DVD.
Follow Ups:
1. He calls the Thomas character a "tutor" but I stand corrected.2. He also calls the entymologist a "dour Scot". Maybe they changed
the character for the film.3. I distinctly remember three births, the first twins, the second
one baby, and the third twins again. Maybe I was dozing...
