00:04:31Hey, Dick!

00:04:33Who's that up there?

00:04:38The bastards here

00:04:43Your bastards here

00:05:03Old Northumbrian custom, eh, one day, greeting the bastard. Forgetting him, you mean.

00:05:20That's an old melon one. Arthur Spratz in the country have got his mark on them.

00:05:29I'd like to have a look at him.

00:05:32Let's hunt him down and you can have his scalp.

00:05:35His hair.

00:06:14I'm sorry.

00:06:19Damn nonsense, eh?

00:06:22They won't get near him.

00:06:25Twenty years, it must be.

00:06:28Since he could walk, he's been coming to that mountain...

00:06:32just to see me.

00:06:35So it's true.

00:06:38Who was the mother?

00:06:41Don't know. Can't remember.

00:06:44All the same, though.

00:06:47All mine.

00:08:17Marty!

00:08:27Marty!

00:08:42Marty!

00:08:44Don?

00:08:47Don?

00:08:52Go!

00:09:03I'll give it. I'll give it.

00:09:06That's what you get, you devil.

00:09:10Marty!

00:09:12Come on, Marty!

00:09:13Come on, Marty!

00:09:14Come on, Marty!

00:09:28Come on!

00:09:29Come on!

00:09:30Come on!

00:09:35What's for dinner, ma'am?

00:09:37What's for dinner, ma'am?

00:09:39Wait and see, pie.

00:09:45Do you expect us to kill the fatted calf, are you?

00:09:48Not been away, have I?

00:09:55Lift up your hearts towards the sanctuary and bless the Lord.

00:09:58Blessed be thou, Lord God, who bringeth forth bread from the earth.

00:10:02Amen.

00:10:07Right.

00:10:13Sharp day, Lordy.

00:10:18Matthew had to go out with the beasts.

00:10:21And the cold gets on his chest.

00:10:23I didn't mind, Dad. Didn't get that cold.

00:10:26No, mind, Matty. He take care.

00:10:28There's one who should have taken care for him.

00:10:31Doesn't matter, Dad.

00:10:37And the Lord said unto Cain,

00:10:52Where is Abel thy brother?

00:10:55And he said, I know not.

00:10:59My ma'am, my brother's keeper.

00:11:01If you want to know where I've been, why don't you just ask?

00:11:05I was up at the peak.

00:11:07Aye, that's a fair step, Donald.

00:11:12It gave me your oath never to go near that man.

00:11:15I was up on the peak and he was down in the low field.

00:11:19They were coursing, Matty.

00:11:20Eat up, then.

00:11:24He had some.

00:11:25I wish I had a couple of his greyhounds.

00:11:28They were eating and drinking too, him and his friends.

00:11:30And women, Matty.

00:11:31Should have seen a bit titted women.

00:11:32Have some respect for your mother.

00:11:34If you cannot for her, for me.

00:11:36That's what you wanted to hear all along, isn't it?

00:11:39You knew I'd been up at the peak.

00:11:41I think you're more interested in Squire Mallon than I am.

00:11:45This is my house.

00:11:46And you'll not mention that man's bium in my house.

00:11:49Dad.

00:11:50And the Lord set a mark upon Cain,

00:11:52lest any finding him shall kill him.

00:11:55What a shame for all the world to see.

00:12:01Don't you.

00:12:02Don't you to hell!

00:12:04I'm your father.

00:12:05I!

00:12:07Mr Radlett, father, but you're not me dad.

00:12:10It's your house.

00:12:11And it's your farm.

00:12:12And me mum works in your house.

00:12:13And I work on your farm.

00:12:15And I do your work.

00:12:16And I do Matty's work as well.

00:12:17Don't quarrelling, Dad.

00:12:18I'm not quarrelling, Matty.

00:12:19I'm telling the truth.

00:12:21You bought a cow and calf by that old bull in the valley.

00:12:25I never.

00:12:26I never.

00:12:27I never.

00:12:28I never.

00:12:29Oh.

00:12:30Oh, no.

00:12:32No.

00:12:33Don't you admire the man who did that?

00:12:41I don't know what I do or why I do it.

00:12:45I am.

00:12:46Well, I help you.

00:12:47You're welcome.

00:12:48Good.

00:12:50Thank you so much.

00:12:51That's well.

00:12:53Well, I'll tell you.

00:12:54Well, I'm so happy.

00:12:55Very good.

00:12:56Thank you so much, kid.

00:12:57Will you tell me?

00:12:58Yes, so much, Mr. Don't.

00:12:59It's not really.

00:13:01I'm so happy I'm so happy.

00:13:03You won't so much, do you?

00:13:04You don't miss much, do you?

00:13:06I don't know.

00:13:07Well, it wasn't good for you.

00:13:08Now, I'll tell you what.

00:13:09Oops.

00:13:12Mother.

00:13:13Yes, Fanny?

00:13:14Oh, my God.

00:13:16Can't I go up to bed?

00:13:17Not yet.

00:13:18Those fans have gone up.

00:13:20Well, they live here, don't they?

00:13:22Now, listen.

00:13:23If you leave it tomorrow, you must give them a chance.

00:13:25When you live here, you can go up to bed whenever you like.

00:13:28I don't want to live here.

00:13:29But you like dip malin, don't you?

00:13:31And that father pays us drink yourself to death.

00:13:33But there's no running water or gas lights.

00:13:36Mother deserves closets.

00:13:38Oh.

00:13:39Where I was brought up, there wasn't even them.

00:13:41When you get the lady of High Banks Hall,

00:13:43you can have whatever your father's money can buy you.

00:13:45All right?

00:13:46Now, listen.

00:13:47You are going to marry lamb and be a lady.

00:13:50Not a walking pawn shop like them two in there.

00:13:52Give it.

00:13:56Very good, very good.

00:13:57Hi there.

00:14:00Bring a bottle of brandy up to my room.

00:14:02Where are the parents?

00:14:03I thought we'd have a game of cards.

00:14:05Hmm?

00:14:06And the girls get packed off the room after dinner.

00:14:08The old man treats them like children.

00:14:10Well, anything.

00:14:11Just so long as we don't have to spend the evening with those awful women.

00:14:14I'm supposed to marry Fatty Armstrong.

00:14:17Really?

00:14:18Good.

00:14:19There's some chance.

00:14:20We'll be off tomorrow back to London.

00:14:22Go on, Lennox.

00:14:23It's the last night.

00:14:24Let's double the stakes.

00:14:25Hmm?

00:14:26Righto.

00:14:27It's as high as we are.

00:14:28It's as high as we are.

00:14:29It's as high as we are.

00:14:30It's as high as we are.

00:14:31Ah, Dick.

00:14:32I want you.

00:14:33Dick!

00:14:34Don't worry.

00:14:35He won't get away.

00:14:36I don't think much of his friends.

00:14:37Londoners!

00:14:38No damn blood in them.

00:14:39They've lost contact with the land.

00:14:40That's what it's all about, my man.

00:14:41One eye's under it.

00:14:42Yeah, there's no damn coal here, worse luck.

00:14:43I've got coal.

00:14:44I want roots.

00:14:45Grandchildren.

00:14:46Family with a name to it.

00:14:47Ha, ha, ha.

00:14:48Malon.

00:14:49Dick'll give you all your grandchildren.

00:14:50Huh?

00:14:51I never missed.

00:14:52Those?

00:14:53Farrakhan girls.

00:14:54What obligation?

00:14:55Oh, my wife was a man.

00:14:56I've never missed.

00:14:57I've never missed.

00:14:58They've lost contact with the land.

00:14:59They've lost contact with the land.

00:15:00That's what it's all about, my man.

00:15:01One eye's under it.

00:15:02Yeah, there's no damn coal here, worse luck.

00:15:03I've got coal.

00:15:04I've got coal.

00:15:05I've got roots.

00:15:06Grandchildren.

00:15:07A family with a name to it.

00:15:09Ha, ha, ha.

00:15:10Malon.

00:15:11Dick'll give you all your grandchildren.

00:15:12I never missed.

00:15:13Those?

00:15:14Oh, my wife was a Farrington.

00:15:17Her nieces, hardly any property.

00:15:19My responsibility.

00:15:21Don't worry, Frank.

00:15:23When Dick marries, he'll get high banks.

00:15:26Free of all encumbrances.

00:15:28Ha!

00:15:29Finally we'll have a fair settlement.

00:15:32What do you want?

00:15:37You around?

00:15:38Where's Dunn?

00:15:39Checking some brandy up to Mr. Mullen.

00:15:41Oh, is he?

00:15:43Ha!

00:15:44Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:15:46Well, you bring us some more port, eh?

00:15:48Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:15:49No, wait.

00:15:50Bring us a dozen bottles of champagne.

00:15:53Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:15:55Edleigh.

00:15:56Here, Jack.

00:15:57Your wives ever played jockeys?

00:15:59Jockeys?

00:16:00Jockeys, Thomas?

00:16:01Where?

00:16:02What's jockeys?

00:16:03I've heard of jockeys.

00:16:04That's an old game, Rod, here, lads.

00:16:05A bit rough, but the women like it.

00:16:08I like it, we'll clear a space, and they go and get the women in, come on, lock it!

00:16:28Here it is.

00:16:29Miss Constance?

00:16:39Don't be silly, Constance.

00:16:40I hate it.

00:16:41It's good for you.

00:16:42It's good for nervous disorders, anemia, and growing pain.

00:16:44I've stopped growing.

00:16:45I think I've stopped growing.

00:16:47Barbara's drinking hers without any trouble.

00:16:49She needs it.

00:16:53I'm sure Fanny Armstrong was brought up on this.

00:16:56Miss Armstrong is a very eligible young lady.

00:16:59Her father has a coal mine, and that's where he found her mum.

00:17:03Mary Peel.

00:17:04My mother's culling themselves, ladies.

00:17:07Well, they cannot hold a candle to my ladies.

00:17:10Quiet, Mary Peel, or leave the room.

00:17:11Yes, Miss Brickman.

00:17:12Miss Barrington's are proud enough without your help, and we do not talk about our guests.

00:17:16They're Uncle Thomas's, not mine.

00:17:20Next year, when Barbara is 21, she will be the Lady of High Banks.

00:17:25My cousin will be married before then, Miss Brickmore.

00:17:29And I dare say neither Constance nor I would wish to stay here.

00:17:34Our needs do not always consult our wishes.

00:17:38But your uncle is unlikely to put you out on the moors when you've lived with him for so long.

00:17:47It is disgusting.

00:17:49I don't think there's anything here that I regret leaving.

00:17:57I mean that you and Mary Peel should come and live with us.

00:18:01When that time comes, I might have other plans.

00:18:03I don't want to govern us all my life.

00:18:05Aren't you being ungrateful to your Uncle Thomas?

00:18:07They're going tomorrow.

00:18:08It isn't them.

00:18:09By then, make me right clatter that lot.

00:18:10Please, Miss Brickmore, let's go out tomorrow.

00:18:11Let's go as far away as we can.

00:18:12I'm sure your uncle will want you to say farewell to his guests.

00:18:14What are they doing?

00:18:15Who gets a better lovely mind?

00:18:16What do you think they're doing?

00:18:17What people like that do?

00:18:18It's not for us to judge.

00:18:19Well, I'm going to have a look.

00:18:20No, can't.

00:18:21Can't.

00:18:22Can't.

00:18:23Can't.

00:18:24Can't.

00:18:25Can't.

00:18:37Can't.

00:18:38Can't.

00:18:39Can't.

00:18:40Can't.

00:18:41Can't.

00:18:45Can't.

00:18:46Can't.

00:18:47Can't.

00:18:48Can't.

00:18:49Can't.

00:18:50Can't.

00:18:51Can't.

00:18:52Can't.

00:18:53Can't.

00:18:54Can't.

00:18:55Can't.

00:18:56Can't.

00:18:57Can't.

00:18:58Can't.

00:18:59Can't.

00:19:00Can't.

00:19:01Can't.

00:19:02Can't.

00:19:03Can't.

00:19:04Can't.

00:19:05Can't.

00:19:06Can't.

00:19:07Can't.

00:19:08Can't.

00:19:09Can't.

00:19:10Can't.

00:19:11Can't.

00:19:12Can't.

00:19:13Can't.

00:19:14.

00:19:31.

00:19:34.

00:19:35One, two, three, four.

00:20:05One, two, three, four.

00:20:35Because I had a different dad.

00:20:39Don?

00:20:41Yeah?

00:20:43What's it feel like?

00:20:45What?

00:20:48Being a bastard.

00:20:49I'm as sick as you are, Marty.

00:20:57At least it's where you go, I won't kill you.

00:20:59I'm as sick as you are.

00:21:19What is it, Constance?

00:21:44Nothing, Miss Brickmore.

00:21:46Something's amusing.

00:21:47Blige me if I didn't know what it is,

00:21:50if your sister and I can be amused by it as well.

00:21:52It's what Mary Peel said afterwards.

00:21:55Well, what did Mary Peel say afterwards?

00:21:57He mined that woman wasn't wearing drawers either.

00:22:03It is not amusing.

00:22:08I'm very glad we shan't be seeing those people anymore.

00:22:13We'll be gone by the time we get back.

00:22:15Not all of them.

00:22:17Miss Trifle, may I stay in the trap?

00:22:21No, you come down with us,

00:22:26and I'm always good as her wife.

00:22:27Wipe him now,

00:22:28I will have to go on for this interview later.

00:22:30I will kiss you.

00:22:32Until I die, he will boo you as fruits and unpredictable as well.

00:22:35Er, Kenny.

00:22:36I have to go my way over.

00:22:37Everybody is a little bit ofpicious.

00:22:39Come home, thanks.

00:22:43Have you ever seen folks?

00:22:45No, you come down with us.

00:22:50There's a good girl, Constance.

00:22:54Big jump.

00:23:16What was that?

00:23:18Shall we ask Miss Bridmore if we can go up to Carfell to see our cottage?

00:23:22No. Anyway, she's busy picking those things.

00:23:26Lichens.

00:23:30That's not fair.

00:23:32Cousin Dick is going to inherit the hall and all we have is a cottage.

00:23:37I hate it.

00:23:38It's a very nice cottage.

00:23:40Oh, I expect it would be all right for you, Miss Bridmore.

00:23:46What's wrong with her?

00:23:49She has to live in other people's houses.

00:23:52She's a governess.

00:23:54Even a governess can have feelings.

00:24:09Look, Miss Bridmore.

00:24:11What is it?

00:24:12Well, it's a lichen.

00:24:13No, it's not.

00:24:15What?

00:24:19When I first came to Highbanks Hall, Miss Constance Farrington was a well-mannered, polite little girl.

00:24:25I wonder what happened to her?

00:24:26I wonder what happened to her.

00:24:42Miss Bridmore?

00:24:44There's someone watching us.

00:24:45I saw someone on the opposite bank.

00:24:48I thought...

00:24:53There's no one here for miles and miles.

00:24:58It's time to go back now.

00:24:59I need to go back now.

00:25:04There's a big one here.

00:25:05There's a big one here.

00:25:06There's a big one here.

00:25:07It's time to go back now.

00:25:08Here, Miss Rivers.

00:25:09Here.

00:25:10There's a big one here.

00:25:11I think we were supposed to go back.

00:25:12Let's go.

00:25:28Come now. Let's get into the walk.

00:25:34They've been waiting for the truck.

00:25:36What?

00:25:37I thought they were gone by now.

00:25:39Aye, somehow.

00:25:40Are they still here?

00:25:41The others are in there.

00:25:44I've got to drive them into Hexington.

00:25:46The horse is very tired.

00:25:52Good morning.

00:25:53Good morning.

00:25:54Good morning.

00:25:55I'm sorry we kept you waiting.

00:25:57We thought you'd all go in the carriage.

00:25:59No, we had some business to settle.

00:26:01There is a fire in the drawing room.

00:26:03There is, Miss Brickmore.

00:26:04Good.

00:26:05Girls, come in.

00:26:06All your hands.

00:26:11Richard.

00:26:12Did you go for a walk this morning?

00:26:14No, I didn't.

00:26:15I wish to God I had.

00:26:16The car's ready.

00:26:17Ma'am.

00:26:18You're going to pay back every penny that you owe me.

00:26:19Or I'll see that you're thrown out of the clubs and barred from society.

00:26:21Come on Weir.

00:26:22He knows the alternative.

00:26:23You've got until the end of the week.

00:26:24Oh yes.

00:26:25Oh yes.

00:26:26These little pictures are very nice.

00:26:27But I'm sure they can't work.

00:26:28I'm glad you're staying another day.

00:26:29I mean it's so small.

00:26:30What made your father change his mind?

00:26:31I think it was a big one.

00:26:32I think it was a big one.

00:26:33I think it was a big one.

00:26:34You're going to pay back every penny that you owe me.

00:26:35Or I'll see that you're thrown out of the clubs and barred from society.

00:26:37Come on Weir.

00:26:38He knows the alternative.

00:26:39You've got until the end of the week.

00:26:40Oh yes.

00:26:41These little pictures are very nice.

00:26:43I'm glad you're staying another day for me.

00:26:44I mean it's so small.

00:26:45What made your father change his mind?

00:26:55You persuaded him because you wanted to spend some more time with Richard.

00:27:03Oh look.

00:27:04This man has a mark just like yours.

00:27:07Look Mr Armstrong.

00:27:09This man in fancy clothes has a white mark on his hair just like the Squire's.

00:27:13So he should.

00:27:14He was my great grandfather.

00:27:16Really?

00:27:17Such a young man.

00:27:19Look funny.

00:27:21Who does that remind you of?

00:27:24Richard.

00:27:25He's just as handsome as Richard.

00:27:28Yes.

00:27:29A hundred years ago.

00:27:30More of them about today of course.

00:27:33You'll have a grandson with a mallon streak.

00:27:36Oh yes.

00:27:37Well I'm waiting.

00:27:39Tell me Miss Fountain.

00:27:42What do you and your sister intend doing when your cousin's married?

00:27:45She's going to look after her old Uncle Thomas, aren't you my dear?

00:27:51Yes.

00:27:52Now.

00:27:53You go and get me another glass of port.

00:27:58And little Connie's going to marry a duke.

00:28:01Ah!

00:28:02Oh!

00:28:03Death!

00:28:04Your friend's gone.

00:28:05Just this minute.

00:28:06Thank God for that.

00:28:07Maybe we'll see more of you now, eh?

00:28:09I want to talk to you.

00:28:10Me?

00:28:11You don't want to talk to me.

00:28:12Not when there's a pretty woman in the house.

00:28:16Luncheon is solved.

00:28:17Ah.

00:28:18Good.

00:28:19Good.

00:28:20Good.

00:28:21Good.

00:28:22Oh, ma'am.

00:28:23Eh.

00:28:24Luncheon is solved.

00:28:34Hi, Emma.

00:28:43I saw Mr. Taggart's car today.

00:28:45Hi, it's Friday.

00:28:47Why are you?

00:28:49Don't see the horse.

00:28:54Where's Dad?

00:28:58He's upstairs.

00:29:00Aye.

00:29:10I wish Don and Dad, you know.

00:29:14Aye.

00:29:18If he goes off on his own sometimes, it's because...

00:29:21It's because he's like that.

00:29:27It's all right, it's Don.

00:29:32Do you mind that wall over Taff, don't we?

00:29:35No, Donald did.

00:29:37The beach can go down there in summer.

00:29:39This is cold.

00:29:41There.

00:29:43There.

00:29:45How are you, Matthew?

00:29:48I'm all right, Dad.

00:29:52I'll have to go into Hickson to see the doctor.

00:29:56You'd better come too.

00:29:57Like a hospital here, isn't it?

00:29:59Hush!

00:30:01Lucky Dan's here to look after the farm.

00:30:04Come over here, lad.

00:30:22That was me, Grandad.

00:30:24Here's me, Dad.

00:30:25Here's me.

00:30:26And here's you.

00:30:29He's not in our family.

00:30:45No more satisfactory explanation of your indebtedness to the bank.

00:30:59You've got no money.

00:31:01No cold.

00:31:02What?

00:31:06Oh, God, what do you want?

00:31:07I've been trying to talk to you all day.

00:31:08Let it wait.

00:31:09It won't wait, Father.

00:31:12I've got to go to London tomorrow.

00:31:14What on earth are you doing?

00:31:16Estate business.

00:31:18Why can't you settle down for five minutes?

00:31:21Father.

00:31:22Go to Newcastle with the Armstrongs if you must.

00:31:26Then go on from there.

00:31:28Talk to Fanny.

00:31:29I need two hundred pounds.

00:31:31I've got to have two hundred pounds.

00:31:33It's a debt.

00:31:34A debt of honor.

00:31:36Don't pay.

00:31:37You're a fool to gamble and an even bigger fool to lose.

00:31:40I didn't lose.

00:31:42You won.

00:31:43And you still owe money.

00:31:45I paid back what I won.

00:31:47You cheated.

00:31:48They lied.

00:31:49You cheated.

00:31:50It was a trick, Father.

00:31:51Weir kept losing and couldn't pay up.

00:31:53He fixed it with Lennox to accuse me, to threaten me,

00:31:56that if I didn't pay back what they'd lost, they...

00:31:59Well, you know what they do.

00:32:01You say he couldn't pay up.

00:32:03That's right.

00:32:04They wanted you to pay out what he couldn't pay up.

00:32:08You're a cheat and a liar.

00:32:11Bad luck to you.

00:32:12It's only two hundred, Father.

00:32:14You've got two hundred, haven't you?

00:32:15Read it.

00:32:18Carrier brought it today.

00:32:21There'll be a man here from the bank tomorrow.

00:32:32No, lad.

00:32:34I haven't got two hundred pounds.

00:32:37You mortgaged high banks.

00:32:39You borrowed money on my inheritance!

00:32:43Don't you shout at me, lad.

00:32:46What the devil do you think we've been living on?

00:32:49Well, it's gone.

00:32:51I say, let him give this man some security of payment.

00:32:53It's gone!

00:32:54Security? What security?

00:32:55I've got no money.

00:32:56I've got no coal.

00:32:57Frank Armstrong's got all the coal.

00:33:02But we can give them security.

00:33:05We can.

00:33:09We can give them Fanny Armstrong's diary.

00:33:14Huh?

00:33:15Here!

00:33:16Oh, no!

00:33:17Fanny Armstrong's diary!

00:33:19That'll do it, lad.

00:33:20Then you can send a letter to your friends in London,

00:33:23inviting them to the wedding!

00:33:24Fanny Armstrong!

00:33:25Fine girl!

00:33:26Reminds me of your mother!

00:33:27She is not in the least like when I...

00:33:29Fanny Armstrong's diary, lad!

00:33:31Or the workhouse.

00:33:34For you.

00:33:36And for me.

00:33:50Barbara?

00:33:54What's going to happen?

00:33:55If Dick marries Fanny Armstrong?

00:34:01Hmm?

00:34:09I don't know.

00:34:15I expect I'll get married.

00:34:17Do you want to get married?

00:34:18No.

00:34:19It's all right for you.

00:34:20You can stay with Uncle Thomas.

00:34:21I wouldn't mind.

00:34:22Only I don't know anyone.

00:34:23I suppose if Dick and Fanny lived here,

00:34:24we'd meet a lot of different people.

00:34:25Yes.

00:34:26You couldn't stay with Uncle Thomas forever.

00:34:27What would you do then?

00:34:28I'd like to get married.

00:34:29Do you want to get married?

00:34:30No.

00:34:31It's all right for you.

00:34:32You can stay with Uncle Thomas.

00:34:33I wouldn't mind.

00:34:34Only I don't know anyone.

00:34:35I suppose if Dick and Fanny lived here,

00:34:37we'd meet a lot of different people.

00:34:38Yes.

00:34:39You couldn't stay with Uncle Thomas forever.

00:34:40What would you do then?

00:34:41I don't know.

00:34:42Become a governess.

00:34:43Like Miss Bridmore.

00:34:44Perhaps.

00:34:45Oh.

00:34:46Oh, but she'd be an old maid without any children.

00:34:49Yes.

00:34:50Yes.

00:34:51Oh, look.

00:34:52Oh, come on.

00:34:53Come on.

00:34:54Come on,child.

00:34:55Come on,child.

00:34:56Come on,child.

00:34:57Just go.

00:34:58Come on,child.

00:34:59Come on,child.

00:35:00Come on,child.

00:35:01She'd be an old maid without any children.

00:35:02Yes.

00:35:03He's a bit...

00:35:04Oh.

00:35:05No.

00:35:06No.

00:35:07No.

00:35:09No.

00:35:10No.

00:35:11No.

00:35:12No.

00:35:14No.

00:35:15No.

00:35:16No.

00:35:17No.

00:35:18Hmm?

00:35:26Marie?

00:35:30Marie?

00:35:34You're not a slave.

00:35:36You're putting it on.

00:35:40You've been reading.

00:35:42I'll tell you, Dad.

00:35:48What is it?

00:35:50Tales of Fashionable Life.

00:35:54Where did you get it?

00:35:56Hexham.

00:35:58Well, what's it about, man?

00:36:00No.

00:36:02You know.

00:36:04Love affairs.

00:36:10When I go to Hexham, I don't read about it.

00:36:12I do it.

00:36:18Last market day.

00:36:22Aye, aye.

00:36:24A with?

00:36:26Factory less.

00:36:28I'll give her a shilling that belonged to your dad.

00:36:35Those girls we sort of do look, Bonnie.

00:36:39They're my cousins, Manny.

00:36:42They're my cousins from the hall.

00:36:44They're not.

00:36:46They are.

00:36:47And don't pretend.

00:36:48Listen, that's all.

00:36:49It's like me sometimes.

00:36:51Pretending I'm well.

00:36:52I run and fall over.

00:36:54My blood's as good as theirs, Maggie.

00:36:56I could do it with one of them.

00:36:58You couldn't.

00:37:00Don't.

00:37:02Here, come on.

00:37:03Sit up, man.

00:37:04Sit up.

00:37:06Oh, you're right.

00:37:09You're right, man.

00:37:10I'm as sick as you are, remember?

00:37:13I'm sick too.

00:37:16I'm sick too.

00:37:29Hey, get over!

00:37:31Get out!

00:37:35Get out!

00:37:36Get out!

00:37:37Get out!

00:37:38Get out!

00:37:39Get out!

00:37:40Get out!

00:37:41Get out!

00:37:42Get out!

00:37:43Breakfast!

00:37:44Very pale.

00:37:45Backstairs.

00:37:46Good!

00:37:47My God, you look sick.

00:37:49Come here.

00:37:50I'm gonna have a word with Armstrong this morning and see if I can get some figures from him for the man for the bank.

00:38:07So you fix it up with Fanny, shall we?

00:38:08She might say no.

00:38:09What the devil do you think everyone's sitting around waiting for, huh?

00:38:13What's the matter with you?

00:38:14Fanny Armstrong.

00:38:15Every time I look at her.

00:38:16There are some other ways of doing it than face to face.

00:38:20Oh dear.

00:38:21Remember, it's Fanny Armstrong's money or nothing.

00:38:25Good morning, Frank.

00:38:26You're my son, aren't you?

00:38:28Sticks asked me to have a word with you.

00:38:30Where's Fanny?

00:38:31Open the room.

00:38:33Shall we go in to breakfast?

00:38:39Bring some whiskey.

00:38:51Good morning, Richard dear.

00:39:04Have you seen Fanny?

00:39:06No, Richard.

00:39:08Laugh while you care.

00:39:16Hey.

00:39:17Hello, Richard.

00:39:18Smile, Fanny.

00:39:20Oh, isn't it romantic?

00:39:24Just like Romeo and Juliet.

00:39:26Juliet was on the balcony, mother.

00:39:28Yes, that's right, dear.

00:39:29Get on up there.

00:39:34Fanny's coming up, Richard.

00:39:35I'm coming down.

00:39:42Richard!

00:39:43What?

00:39:44I said she was coming up.

00:39:46Get on up to him and keep him there.

00:40:03Good morning.

00:40:04Uh, good morning.

00:40:05Excuse me.

00:40:06Excuse me.

00:40:12Fanny, what?

00:40:13Good morning.

00:40:14Good morning.

00:40:19Good morning, sir.

00:40:21It's too damn crowded here.

00:40:22Let's go downstairs.

00:40:23Get down the stairs.

00:40:26Yes.

00:40:27Santa.

00:40:28Ah.

00:40:29Fanny, what I've always wanted to ask.

00:40:32Missy?

00:40:33Oh, for God's sake!

00:40:35Well, Fanny, you've got to tell me.

00:40:36Fanny, what I've always wanted to ask.

00:40:42Oh, for God's sake.

00:40:48Well, Fanny, I forgot to tell the insecurities.

00:40:50I was just going to.

00:40:51You're waiting to see if you've got my permission.

00:40:53It's a man you want.

00:40:56It's a man you're going to get into it.

00:40:58Fanny, my dear.

00:41:00Don't keep Dick in suspense, huh?

00:41:02Your father says I'm not to keep you in suspense.

00:41:08Yes, let's go in here.

00:41:15Why, you look like an old married couple already.

00:41:18I've just been telling my spouse and I've never seen two people so well matched.

00:41:22Have you spoken to your father, Fanny?

00:41:24And you, Richard?

00:41:25Well, I shall just go upstairs and finish packing,

00:41:29and when I come down, everything will be settled.

00:41:33Would you come and help me, my dears?

00:41:44Uh, sit down, please, Fanny.

00:41:52If you don't want to, Richard, I understand.

00:41:54Sit down.

00:41:56Of course I want to.

00:41:58You want me to, don't you?

00:42:00If you don't just say so.

00:42:01No obligation.

00:42:02Money back guaranteed.

00:42:05Straightforward, that's me.

00:42:08I love you.

00:42:10There.

00:42:11That's out.

00:42:12Honesty is the best policy.

00:42:16Well?

00:42:18Do you love me, damn it?

00:42:20That's it, then.

00:42:22You don't like all this romantic stuff, do you?

00:42:23I think I'll come with you to Newcastle,

00:42:25then I can get the early train to London.

00:42:27What's the matter?

00:42:28It's settled, isn't it?

00:42:30Fanny!

00:42:32Fanny, please.

00:42:35Look here.

00:42:36We can't disappoint everyone, can we?

00:42:38I don't know what your people would say.

00:42:40It'll turn out all right.

00:42:42You'll see.

00:42:43What do you say?

00:42:44You haven't asked me, Richard.

00:42:46Oh.

00:42:48What do you want?

00:42:49Somebody at the door, sir.

00:42:52Get out of the way.

00:42:57Sir.

00:42:59You step inside and wait a minute, please, sir.

00:43:10Um, my father's in the dining room.

00:43:12I don't know if I'm here at once.

00:43:13I don't see why I'm in the last night.

00:43:15Um, we'll go out into the garden.

00:43:17Would you like to go out into the garden, my dear?

00:43:19If you'd like to, Richard.

00:43:20Under the trees.

00:43:22Nick!

00:43:22Oh.

00:43:27Oh, the back.

00:43:29His name's Cotton.

00:43:33Have you asked her yet?

00:43:34As good as.

00:43:35For God's sake.

00:43:40Um, the garden.

00:43:43This is really quite unnecessary.

00:43:44There'll be a letter in the post explaining the old guilty.

00:43:47We'll go out the back way.

00:43:48Uh, might as well get to know the house.

00:43:51We'll ask these three things.

00:43:54And, uh, this leads out to the orchard.

00:43:57Oh, clear all this up.

00:43:58Come on.

00:43:58Oh.

00:43:59I'm sorry, sir.

00:44:00Don't mind me, sir.

00:44:01I'm just...

00:44:01Just get on with it.

00:44:02Oh, of course I'm sure, Mr. Dunn.

00:44:04I can read Newcastle Bank in big letters.

00:44:08You see, I hold the squire and Mr. Dick talking about Miss Fanny this morning.

00:44:12No, the squire said, it's whole money or nothing.

00:44:16And he's got to marry her.

00:44:18But, do you think he says he cannot stand to look at her?

00:44:22Well, you cannot blame him for that.

00:44:23Oh, no.

00:44:24Newcastle Bank.

00:44:24Aye, but he's out there now, lovey-dovey, isn't he?

00:44:28I'm the man from the bank arrives.

00:44:31Take it back.

00:44:32Take back what you said.

00:44:33Then get out.

00:44:34You're finished here.

00:44:35Just a minute.

00:44:36Look, I'm sorry.

00:44:37Miss, I did not.

00:44:37You were...

00:44:38Missed, get out of here.

00:44:40Don't you push me.

00:44:42Aye.

00:44:51No, sir.

00:44:51Let go of that chair.

00:44:53Don't threaten me.

00:44:54We got him, I tell you.

00:44:55Give it me some.

00:45:00Now, you'll take it back.

00:45:01Master Dick, he's got a wife and shoot it off.

00:45:04Get out the bloody way.

00:45:05Come here and wait for you.

00:45:08You get in your carriage and go back to Newcastle.

00:45:11Get off my property.

00:45:12Get off my instructions.

00:45:13Get off.

00:45:31Buzz.

00:45:34An accident.

00:45:35You've killed him, lad.

00:46:02That's the end of it.

00:46:06You've done your chances.

00:46:08And you've done me!

00:46:20Me.

00:46:20In the back.

00:46:35Court order, Neymar Mallon.

00:46:37Mr. Richard Mallon's not here.

00:46:39No.

00:46:39He's in Durham jail.

00:46:41Thomas.

00:46:41Court order, Neymar Thomas Mallon.

00:46:43Back door, keep an eye on the goods and chals.

00:46:49I'll call the master.

00:47:05That's where the crime took place.

00:47:08It was an accident.

00:47:08Anyway, if he didn't kill him, he won't leave a name in Athens.

00:47:15What's up?

00:47:17Thomas Mallon.

00:47:18Thomas Mallon.

00:47:18You hear that?

00:47:27That's going to be his defense as his trial, I should think.

00:47:31An accident.

00:47:33Well, he don't need more accidents.

00:47:35He'll keep your eyes open.

00:47:36It's about my son, I'm raising the veil.

00:47:39It's a damn disgrace putting a man in prison before he's had a chance to defend himself.

00:47:44Thomas Mallon?

00:47:44Squire Mallon.

00:47:46What the devil's that?

00:47:49Order of possession.

00:47:50Newcastle Bank has foreclosed on your mortgage.

00:47:52Obtained an order of the county court, distraining all properties, goods and chattels,

00:47:56appertaining to the house and lands entitled High Banks in the county of Northumberland.

00:48:00From now on, it is an offense for you or anyone else for you of any of the said goods and chattels

00:48:04from this said house and property.

00:48:05God save the queen.

00:48:07What do you mean?

00:48:09Get out of my house.

00:48:17It isn't your house anymore.

00:48:19That's what I mean.

00:48:30Nothing to go out.

00:48:31Whatever was all up, Mr. Dunn?

00:48:53The end of High Banks.

00:48:55The end?

00:48:55The end of High Banks.

00:48:56Well, what are you on about?

00:48:58The bombs are in.

00:49:07Yes, that's very nice, Barbara.

00:49:09Perhaps you could make the same a little bit.

00:49:10Hey, Miss!

00:49:11The bombs are in with Mr. Dunn saying it's the end.

00:49:14Quite very appealing.

00:49:15But, Miss, the bombs are down in the hall.

00:49:18The bombs are down in the hall? What's the matter?

00:49:20Is it something to do with Richard?

00:49:22Are the men already in the house?

00:49:24Yes, Miss.

00:49:25Have they started to make an inventory?

00:49:26What, Miss?

00:49:27A list of things.

00:49:28Yes, Miss.

00:49:29Where's the squire?

00:49:30He's in the big front room, Miss.

00:49:32Well, come down with me.

00:49:34I want you to do exactly as I tell you.

00:49:35The bombs are down in the hall.

00:49:37Now, listen to me.

00:49:38I want you to collect every small thing of value that you have.

00:49:41But what's happened, Miss Brighamore?

00:49:43If the bailiffs are here, that means that your uncle is bankrupt.

00:49:46We haven't much time.

00:49:47What are they doing here?

00:49:48They take possession of the house and of everything in it,

00:49:50of everything that you love and you treasure,

00:49:52and they sell it to pay the debts.

00:49:54We haven't much time.

00:49:56Once a thing is written down, it's lost.

00:49:58Oh, I'm going to have a look.

00:49:59No, Connie, don't be serious.

00:50:00Well, then I'm going to see Uncle Thomas.

00:50:02If he wants us, he'll send for us.

00:50:03We'd better do what she said.

00:50:05Fetch your brooch.

00:50:06But we live here.

00:50:07It's our home.

00:50:08All we have is what our armourer left us.

00:50:11Connie, do you remember when Father was still with us?

00:50:16He had to leave somewhere very quickly.

00:50:19It reminds me.

00:50:22It was Mother's.

00:50:26Barbara.

00:50:27Fetch your brooch, Connie.

00:50:29And your ribbon box.

00:50:30Well, what's she going to do with them?

00:50:32I don't know.

00:50:33Stop the bailiffs from getting them.

00:50:40Oh, Connie!

00:51:02Mr. Mallon, I'm sorry to intrude when you have company.

00:51:09But I have a matter to draw to your attention that will not wait.

00:51:12It is of the most intimate nature regarding the girls.

00:51:15It's about Miss Barbara and Miss Constance.

00:51:18Their behaviour towards me is impossible.

00:51:20This morning they called me a name.

00:51:22I hardly dare repeat it.

00:51:24A bitch, Mr. Mallon.

00:51:26Not now.

00:51:27It must be dealt with at once.

00:51:29If you do not speak to your nieces immediately, I shall leave your employ.

00:51:32Not now.

00:51:33Damn you, woman.

00:51:35You swore at me.

00:51:36You heard him, didn't you?

00:51:38Did you hear him swear at me?

00:51:40None of my business.

00:51:42Of course it is.

00:51:43Your witness.

00:51:44Well.

00:51:45I'm sorry, sir, but I've got to tell the truth, haven't I?

00:51:51I heard him, Misses.

00:51:52Me too, Miss.

00:51:54I shall leave this house of media care.

00:51:57You hear me, sir?

00:51:58I'm handing him my notice, and Mary Peel is going with me.

00:52:09You're better off without her.

00:52:11Let them all go.

00:52:14And you will pay me a whole year's salary.

00:52:17And last year's salary, which I'm sure your weatherware is still owing to me.

00:52:25She's got a surprise coming to her.

00:52:27I'll put these in your drawers in your bodices just as quick as you can.

00:52:32And for the rest.

00:52:34Oh, dear.

00:52:36For the rest, we'll just...

00:52:39I don't know.

00:52:40We'll just have to see.

00:52:42Stand quite still.

00:52:43Mr. Gibbs away.

00:52:44It's all in a bit.

00:52:45It's all in a bit.

00:52:46What will we do if we're caught?

00:52:47Go to prison.

00:52:48We'll save Richard.

00:52:49It's all in a bit.

00:52:50It's all in a bit.

00:52:51It's all in a bit.

00:52:52It's all in a bit.

00:52:53What will we do if we're caught?

00:52:54Go to prison.

00:52:55We'll save Richard.

00:52:56It's been more of these things belong to Uncle Thomas.

00:52:57What will we do in these things?

00:52:58Keeping them safe for him, I hope.

00:53:00Now, cloaks, bonnets.

00:53:01But where?

00:53:02If the house has gone, the estate and farm will have gone too.

00:53:03We can go to the village.

00:53:04I know.

00:53:05We can go to Newcastle and put them in the bank, Mary Peele.

00:53:06Yes, Mr. Gibbs.

00:53:07We can take our baskets.

00:53:08Yes, you can take them, but make sure they're empty.

00:53:09Do you think they're going to the bank, Mary Peele?

00:53:10Yes, Mr. Gibbs.

00:53:11You can take them?

00:53:12Yes, Mr. Gibbs.

00:53:13Go to prison.

00:53:14We'll save Richard.

00:53:15We'll save Richard.

00:53:16Mr. Gibbs, these things belong to Uncle Thomas.

00:53:17What will we do in these things?

00:53:18Keeping them safe for him, I hope.

00:53:20Now, cloaks, bonnets.

00:53:21But where?

00:53:22If the house has gone, the estate and farm will have gone too.

00:53:23We can go to the village.

00:53:24I know.

00:53:25We can go to Newcastle and put them in the bank, Mary Peele.

00:53:27Yes, Mr. Gibbs.

00:53:28We can take our baskets.

00:53:29Yes, you can take them, but make sure they're empty.

00:53:35Do you think we will be searched?

00:53:37You will not be.

00:53:41Good.

00:53:42Now your bonnets.

00:53:48I can't walk.

00:53:49Come on, Connie.

00:53:50Here, Miss Brigham.

00:53:55Good.

00:53:56Now, just as far as the front door, look as natural as possible.

00:54:26He's making his own arrangements.

00:54:29So much the better.

00:54:39Dunn, would you ask for the pony and trap to be sent round for us, please?

00:54:43I'm sorry to say it's been put on the list.

00:54:45We cannot leave the stairs.

00:54:49Then we must walk.

00:54:52Wait.

00:54:53Wait a minute.

00:54:56Where do you think you're going?

00:55:00For a walk.

00:55:02We were going for a drive, but you prevented that.

00:55:04You know who I am, then?

00:55:07Well, these are the young ladies.

00:55:11You shouldn't say things like that to anyone.

00:55:13It's a disgrace having you live here.

00:55:15Well, I'm not surprised.

00:55:17Some of the things that have been happening here.

00:55:20I thought you were leaving.

00:55:22At the end of the week.

00:55:24Now, we're going for a long walk to teach us manners.

00:55:31You can't stop us going out.

00:55:33I can't stop you taking anything, will you?

00:55:36As you can see, we have nothing.

00:55:40You'd do much better to search him.

00:55:42Oh.

00:55:47Just let's take a look, then, shall we?

00:55:49Oh, you snowplot.

00:56:05Are you all right, Mary Peel?

00:56:07Why, I miss, but it's a funny place to keep a teapot.

00:56:10You might have told us we were going to the cottage.

00:56:14He would never have walked this far.

00:56:16He's never walked there before.

00:56:18Barbara, you're going to have to do many things you've never done before.

00:56:21There's a cart coming from Wolf the Farmway.

00:56:24It'll be Mr. Adlett.

00:56:25Oh, will he give us a ride?

00:56:26Oh, he'll not be going our way.

00:56:28Anyway, they're a bit funny up there.

00:56:30How do you mean funny?

00:56:31Not quite what they should be.

00:56:33We'll walk on slowly.

00:56:34We'll pretend we're admiring the view.

00:56:37Look at the peak.

00:56:38Isn't it magnificent?

00:56:58Come on.

00:57:02Come on.

00:57:16Come on, Mary.

00:57:23Excellent.

00:57:24Here we are.

00:57:31Here we are.

00:57:56There's never a soul, Benny.

00:57:57We've all been here since the young lady Dandy lived here.

00:58:00Did you ever meet her?

00:58:02Why, she was a Parson's widow.

00:58:04She'd never go near the whole mine.

00:58:06She wouldn't trust him as far as she could throw him.

00:58:09Thank you, Mary Pio.

00:58:10Do you think you could find some wood to make a fire?

00:58:12Yes, Miss Bredmore.

00:58:15I don't know what she was worrying about mine.

00:58:18He was only after the beauties.

00:58:27essozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozo

00:58:57I'll never do this again. Never.

00:59:04I'll never think this one by one.

00:59:12Good.

00:59:15Here, sir.

00:59:18Here.

00:59:23He's a bad feeling up here.

00:59:26Well, either that or climbing rabbits.

00:59:29Constance, please, will you go upstairs?

00:59:31Tell Maryfield to open the windows.

00:59:33What for? We're not going to live here, are we?

00:59:36We are, if we have to leave the hall.

00:59:39But, Miss Bridmore, we can't possibly live here.

00:59:42May I ask you how much money your aunt left you?

00:59:45Fifty pounds a year between us.

00:59:47Then you can't live anywhere else.

00:59:49Barbara, you're very fortunate to have a place like this.

00:59:54There are rabbits.

01:00:00Now, there are two bedrooms and a bit.

01:00:03Mary Peel can have the bed. That leaves one bedroom for you and Constance.

01:00:06Will you live with us?

01:00:08Excuse me, Miss Bridmore, but if things are as bad as you say, we couldn't afford to pay you.

01:00:12I was about to say that the other bedroom will have to do for your uncle and your cousin Richard when he's released.

01:00:17Oh, no.

01:00:18Uncle Thomas and Richard?

01:00:21If your uncle has lost everything, where is he to go?

01:00:25He looked after you when you were children.

01:00:27You should return his generosity in the best way that you can.

01:00:30Richard!

01:00:31It's all his fault for shooting that man.

01:00:34It's true.

01:00:35We owe Uncle Thomas more than we can ever pay.

01:00:38And even Richard.

01:00:42Perhaps for a short while.

01:00:44Until they can arrange something else.

01:00:47But you will come, won't you, Miss Bridmore?

01:00:51You must understand.

01:00:53I have my own life to lead.

01:00:56I'm sorry, Barbara.

01:00:58I don't know.

01:00:59It's time for us to start back.

01:01:02Mind, I'll stay with you, Miss Barbara.

01:01:05You must be crazy to want to live here.

01:01:08Well, so was your old auntie at the end.

01:01:11Crazy.

01:01:12Don?

01:01:13You there, Don?

01:01:26Don?

01:01:39Don?

01:01:40Don't you've gone.

01:01:41I thought you'd gone with the rest of them.

01:01:45Where'd you get the bottle?

01:01:46I put it away some time ago, sir.

01:02:01I'm sorry about what's happened, Miss Master Richard.

01:02:05Oh, he's finished.

01:02:06Not a chance of getting him off without money.

01:02:09the last of the line. has everyone gone? where are my nieces? and that governess

01:02:17woman. miss Brickmore took the young ladies for a walk this morning. I thought

01:02:21it's strange that they'd not returned. keep me out of the way. she's going. girls can

01:02:26stay here until... what am I gonna do?

01:02:32when the young ladies come back tell them I want to see them. yes sir. thank you sir. please.

01:03:02you won't get anything from me. so you might as well go as you said you would.

01:03:25all the others have gone. tell the girls I want to see them. there's no need to

01:03:32disturb them now. they had a very long walk today to the cottage at Carfell.

01:03:38they had an old woman's place. they'll be able to manage there and the income they have between them.

01:03:43sir. you know what's up. all they've got is Tubbins Apeny. fifty pounds a year.

01:03:53it's five pounds more than a governess's salary. as I said they'll be able to

01:04:00manage on that and so will you if you're careful. no extravagances. what do you mean

01:04:04me? naturally they'll expect you to stay there with them until you can make your

01:04:08other arrangements. you and your son. he's made his own arrangements. they will expect that

01:04:13you'll want to have him released on bail. there's no money for bail. they don't expect

01:04:19anything. they don't know anything. it's you isn't it. what do you know? my father was a gentleman.

01:04:28this is not my first acquaintance with the bailiffs. what do you know miss governess?

01:04:33how unobservant some people are mr. man.

01:04:40i'll be damned.

01:04:56so you're a human being after all. you took him this morning under the bailiff's nose.

01:05:07will you be coming to the cottage with us?

01:05:14i shall not leave the miss Farrington's until i find a more satisfactory position.

01:05:21good night sir.

01:05:36good night.

01:05:38good night.

01:05:40good night.

01:05:41good night.

01:05:42good night.

01:05:43good night.

01:06:02good night.

01:06:03good night.

01:06:05good night.

01:06:06good night.

01:06:07I can't have made much today.

01:06:11Hey, Matthew.

01:06:13The hall wasn't sold.

01:06:15I never got near the asking price.

01:06:23You could have had a house full of furniture.

01:06:25Not in my house.

01:06:27What was it like?

01:06:35I wish... I wish I could have come over with you then.

01:06:49It must have been the biggest books you ever.

01:06:51Were there lots of books?

01:06:52Yeah, there were all sorts there, Matthew.

01:06:54There was books and pictures, silver, glass, china, guns, rods, chairs, tables.

01:06:59There was one lot of six stag's ends.

01:07:02And another of fifty chamber pots.

01:07:05Fifty?

01:07:06It all though it's driven me out this day from the face of the house.

01:07:10It was a judgment.

01:07:14Didn't see none of them at the auction.

01:07:16I wouldn't have wanted to go, all the things that were theirs.

01:07:19It was a judgment, I tell you.

01:07:21I ain't.

01:07:22All the folks that brought into the hall are over the jobs.

01:07:26Mr. Taggart was telling me the family's moved into that cottage on Carfell.

01:07:30He has nae call to stop thy ear and gossip.

01:07:33I mean, it's all very well in summer, but it's nae place for a family in winter.

01:07:37Some people have nae sense at all.

01:07:39It's not right they should have to live there.

01:07:42Why not, Matthew?

01:07:44We are all equal in the sight of the Lord.

01:07:47Let them learn humility and patience.

01:07:49Then they can be as miserable as us.

01:07:55Dad, if it's a bad winter, can we take them a bite of food from over here?

01:08:01I forbid you to go near that place.

01:08:03The Lord has seen fit to cast them down, and there nae company for decent men.

01:08:08Why, that's cunning.

01:08:10We couldn't talk to them before, because they were too good for us.

01:08:13And we cannot see them now, because they're too bad for us.

01:08:16You stick to your own Sir Donald, or you'll come to a bad end.

01:08:19We're all equal in the sight of the Lord.

01:08:22I'm not going to argue with the devil.

01:08:25You know, I've never seen inside the house.

01:08:29There's nothing in it now, ma'am.

01:08:31Oh.

01:08:32I bought it for you.

01:08:35Something by me.

01:08:37What's that?

01:08:39That's Bonnie.

01:08:41Oh, isn't that Bonnie?

01:08:44You had no right to hear that.

01:08:47You've never given ma'am anything Bonnie in her life.

01:08:51Except maybe's money.

01:08:58It was a cheat.

01:08:59Nobody wants to buy old stuff.

01:09:01They didn't take enough to pay a quarter of what you owe the back.

01:09:03They didn't sell the house.

01:09:04You've got cheating on the brain.

01:09:06Oh, no, Father.

01:09:07You're not going to swing this one on me.

01:09:08You've cheated me out of what was mine.

01:09:10Damn you.

01:09:11Please, will you stop swearing?

01:09:13Get out!

01:09:16Damn you again.

01:09:17You owe that damn woman your damn freedom.

01:09:20Thank you, Mr. Mallon, but you're still swearing.

01:09:22Don't laugh, Constantine.

01:09:26I think I'd rather be back in Durham jail.

01:09:28The trial's next month.

01:09:30You can be sure the bank will have the best barrister in the circuit.

01:09:33What am I going to do?

01:09:34Any one of those will buy you a good man when the time comes.

01:09:51She's a clever woman.

01:09:52Not bad looking either, eh?

01:09:54You're going soft in the head.

01:09:56And you're soft somewhere else, or you'd have married Fanny Armstrong and be living on a coal mine.

01:10:01I can't see any more.

01:10:02There's still a little light.

01:10:03Besides, I don't see the point in writing to anyone.

01:10:04What am I going to write about?

01:10:05Is there anything to drink?

01:10:06Miss Brigmore says it isn't necessary.

01:10:07Well, can we have a light in here?

01:10:08Not until eight o'clock when we go to bed.

01:10:09You shall go mad.

01:10:10Mary Peel says that Aunt Armour who used to live here went mad,

01:10:13and ran about on the fell rapture.

01:10:14Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:10:17Mary Peel says that people passing by at night have seen something white moving on the fell.

01:10:19Probably.

01:10:20Is there anything to drink?

01:10:21Miss Brigmore says it isn't necessary.

01:10:22Well, can we have a light in here?

01:10:23Not until eight o'clock when we go to bed.

01:10:24You shall go mad.

01:10:25Mary Peel says that Aunt Armour who used to live here went mad, and ran about on the fell

01:10:40wrapped in a white sheet.

01:10:41She's an idiot.

01:10:42Mary Peel says that people passing by at night have seen something white moving on the fell.

01:10:46Probably a sheep.

01:10:47Sheep.

01:10:48Don't go.

01:10:49Ooh.

01:10:50Stop it.

01:10:51Connie.

01:10:52You're not frightening anyone.

01:10:54Yes, I am.

01:10:55Me.

01:11:10Oh, good.

01:11:12Bedtime.

01:11:16Good night, Miss.

01:11:17Good night, sir.

01:11:18Good night, Mary Peel.

01:11:19Good night.

01:11:20Good night.

01:11:21Good night.

01:11:22Good night.

01:11:23Good night, sir.

01:11:24Good night, Mary Peel.

01:11:25Good night.

01:11:26Good night.

01:11:27I'm not used to sleeping with a man in the room.

01:11:31Damn shame about the auction.

01:11:32Everyone got a look at my past and nobody made me an offer for it.

01:11:35Have you a past?

01:11:36It's the last thing any governess would admit to, Mr. Mellon.

01:11:37A governess?

01:11:38A miss?

01:11:39An unattached woman?

01:11:40No past and not much future.

01:11:41If I'm alone, yes.

01:11:42It's bad for you.

01:11:43Saints of the church would not agree with you.

01:11:44Do you know the first thing that God ever said to man?

01:11:46Be fruitful and multiply.

01:11:47I can't give you very high marks for religion, I'm afraid.

01:11:48No, but there's nothing much wrong with my mother.

01:11:49You know the first thing that God ever said to man, be fruitful and multiply?

01:12:01I can't give you very high marks for religion, I'm afraid.

01:12:03with you. do you know the first thing that God ever said to man be fruitful and multiply? I can't

01:12:12give you very high marks for religion I'm afraid. no but there's nothing much wrong with my

01:12:17multiplication. is that why you stayed with us because you were alone? I've been with your nieces

01:12:27long enough to feel concerned about their future. I should have done more for them. perhaps I will when

01:12:35the house is sold and banks paid off. and I shan't forget you either, Anna. Miss Brigham. we're friends, Anna.

01:12:47Anna. you sleep here. I've been keeping you up. my mark. do you know the story? first Thomas

01:13:07Mullen broke the seventh commandment and God put a mark on him that every time he did it one of his

01:13:14his hair would turn white. it's been that way ever since. damn that son of mine. I must ask you to stop swearing in front of the girls.

01:13:30you're quite right, Anna. it's difficult enough for you.

01:13:34I'll say good night. good night. good night, Anna. good night. Thomas.

01:13:53Thomas.

01:14:04um

01:14:11or

01:14:17um

01:14:28um

01:17:14Well, he's gone all right.

01:17:17I'm sorry.

01:17:20I'm sorry.

01:17:22They were for you.

01:17:23All that I had left of what you saved for me.

01:17:27Now he's taken them.

01:17:29I have nothing left to give you.

01:17:31Won't Richard have to come back for the trial?

01:17:38Richard's run away from the trial.

01:17:41Fail money.

01:17:41Mary Peel, will you want to make some tea, please, Constance.

01:17:49Go and finish dressing.

01:17:51I want to talk to you.

01:17:52I'm going for a walk.

01:17:54I'm glad Richard's gone.

01:18:03I'm glad Richard's gone.

01:18:03He won't come back to us.

01:18:13Didn't you hear anything at all?

01:18:19Nothing.

01:18:20I must have slept right through it.

01:18:22God damn him.

01:18:24Shh.

01:18:24I'm sorry, Anna.

01:18:26That's all I can say.

01:18:27I should have left him in jail.

01:18:29That's all he's fit for.

01:18:32You couldn't have known it was going to happen.

01:18:35You must make the best of it.

01:18:36Oh, my dear girl.

01:18:42My dear girl.

01:18:45I'm such a burden on you.

01:18:49You'd be better off without me.

01:18:52You'd be better off without Richard.

01:18:56Let's go, I'll see.

01:19:00Never mind.

01:19:02Now we'll all fit in.

01:19:04Yes.

01:19:05Just the four of us.

01:19:22It would be quicker if you took two at a time.

01:19:26I don't want to be quick.

01:19:29And Miss Brigmore says that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

01:19:34Connie.

01:19:35Why do you think she's staying with us?

01:19:47She's got nowhere else to go.

01:19:50She hasn't even tried to leave.

01:19:53I don't know.

01:19:55Perhaps she likes it here.

01:19:57Don't see anyone.

01:19:59Don't meet anyone.

01:20:00No one to talk to.

01:20:03I talk to Mr. Taggart.

01:20:05Every Friday when the cart goes by.

01:20:07And we're having very interesting conversations.

01:20:09She tells us what to do so much.

01:20:16I think perhaps she depends on us.

01:20:18Perhaps.

01:20:21I think that was a cabbage.

01:20:22I think that was a cabbage.

01:20:23Well, she's got laughs.

01:20:24So, I do.

01:20:26I look forward to it.

01:20:28I'll see you again.

01:20:30I don't know.

01:20:32I feel sorry, but you don't know what to do so much.

01:20:34Maybe there's a bit.

01:20:35What happens now?

01:20:36Why isn't she telling me?
