00:00Our tale begins in the year of our Lord, 1831, when the Bethany Rose wrecked off

00:07Binglesbeck Beach in the small hamlet of Hunderby. Ninety-one souls were lost that

00:13night. Our heroine was a stowaway, carried to shore by another survivor, a

00:19noble blackamoor, Jeff.

00:23Fellows of such a hue were not common in Hunderby, and thinking her

00:31dead, Jeff fled, taking her locket with him.

00:39Our heroine would indeed have perished, had it not been for the arrival of Dr.

00:44Fogarty, a sturdy man, just shy of his middle years.

00:49Is there no one left alive?

00:55Fogarty, on swift hands, rushed to her side, gathered her up, and deftly did he blow the

01:04last to life.

01:06How different might our tale have been, had the widowed pastor not appeared?

01:18Make way, this is God's work.

01:20Please, sir, I am the physician.

01:22In the name of our Lord Christ Jesus, let this wretched soul be saved.

01:32Hello.

01:36Edmund's wife, Arabelle, had passed suddenly but a year before, and many a haggard fisher-wife

01:44was eager to warm the dent in the widower's bed.

01:46But was this young woman, presumed from the ship's log to be the plain spinster missionary

01:50Helen Blone, that snared his weeping eye.

01:54Dearest Helen, I've much enjoyed your company of late.

02:00Though I know little of your history, and it seems neither do you, I take much comfort

02:08from your simplicity, both of looks and character.

02:16I am a pastor.

02:17Oh, I know, sir.

02:18I had not finished.

02:20I am a pastor, and it is usual that a pastor has someone at his side to tend to his needs

02:26and those of the community.

02:30In short, Helen, a wife.

02:34Thinking Edmund her savior, she accepted the proposal.

02:38And though the match was not one sparked by passion, Edmund's kind and jocund ways led her

02:44to expect a marriage benign.

02:46A most welcome contrast to the shadowy past that led her to stow away upon the Bethany Rose.

02:53I am most blessed to find you at my time of life.

02:59Though youth has all but spread his wings and fled you, I do wonder, through your more

03:05dewy years, at the men that did not take you.

03:09Perhaps I did not love them as I do you, sir.

03:15Them, Helen?

03:19Forgive me, but you are untouched.

03:23For as Deuteronomy tells us, I would be forced to stone to death with my own Christian hand

03:30any wife of mine who would ever lame with another.

03:34Yes.

03:40Helen, I have noted on your cheek a kind of growth.

03:47Oh, my mole.

03:49Hmm.

03:50You might see fit to cover it for our special day.

03:55The ship did sink, but her past would not.

03:58And on the eve of her wedding, Helen was plagued by memories.

04:03Elizabeth.

04:04Elizabeth.

04:06Elizabeth.

04:15Helen felt her heart would burst if she did not tell Edmund her tale.

04:18So that very night she crept into Hunderby and slipped the confession beneath the slumbering widower's door

04:25in the hope that he would forgive her.

04:28Yet, as is the way with so many a marriage, the pair were to be joined till death,

04:34neither one truly knowing the other.

04:37For the letter remained unnoticed, unread.

04:48What is it, my love?

04:49You...

04:50You still love me?

04:51Still love you, dove?

04:52As I am.

04:53You are...

04:54As you are, Helen.

04:55Oh, I'm...

04:56Oh, I'm...

04:57Thank you for...

04:58I'm so sorry.

04:59I'm so sorry, Helen.

05:00I'm so sorry, Helen.

05:01You are...

05:02I'm so sorry, Helen.

05:03You are...

05:04as you are, Helen.

06:49and

06:50and

06:52and

07:26Congratulations, Brother Edmund.

07:45Oh, thank you, Crippled Hester. I did not see you down there.

07:48Ah, Brother Joseph, you are returned.

07:57I do hope the call of the savage will not take you from us again too soon.

08:01Fiji ever beckons, Brother Edmund.

08:03Would that you might join me there next time.

08:06Put some Christian spying into those flat-knowsed heathens.

08:09Underby needs me.

08:13I have here a small wedding gift.

08:16Gift? No need, Brother.

08:19There is no greater gift than the love of the Lord.

08:27It's from Fiji.

08:28A bird of paradise.

08:36Nay, Brother, it is a silk-tail.

08:39I found it in my bed one night, and though I placed it outside,

08:43by morn he had returned and once again deposited himself upon my pillow,

08:47his face pressed to mine like a wife.

08:50I shall cherish him and call him...

08:53I shall call him Raymond.

08:54That was my late father's name.

08:56Oh, what a comely lad.

08:59How's well with him?

09:04Not well.

09:06Oh.

09:11My congratulations, Mr. Suffolk-Fidge.

09:13Mr. Suffolk-Fidge.

09:18Oh.

09:19Sorry.

09:21The name sounds so strange.

09:23I see that old father's sun did shine for you this day.

09:27And did you persuade him to cast off his cloudy coat?

09:30Oh.

09:31I did command Brother Breeze to go to him to say it was my windy wish.

09:36Oh.

09:42Sir?

09:43Have we met before?

09:46On Binglesbeck Beach.

09:48Come, my bride.

09:49I'm sure Dr. Fogarty has little time for such idle prattle.

09:54We must away.

09:55The dances have dwindled and the hams are edged.

19:22Poor Arabelle.

19:23I'll never understand why she went so quick.

19:26One day she's eating broiled dudders.

19:28The next to funeral.

19:29I heard it was because her face was half eaten by herpes.

19:32No.

19:38Sorry, ma'am.

20:39His spine is quite aflame from all the activity.

20:42Thank you, Dorothy, but I would pass.

20:46Do you wish to burn down our home walking about with a naked flame?

20:50No.

21:34Why do you screw your fist so?

21:36Oh, um, I have a pain.

21:39You're slightly trapped, Wins.

21:42I would ask that you do not purge yourself of such gases in front of Bird Raymond.

21:46Yes, sir.
