00:00:00The End

00:00:30Oh, my God.

00:01:00Oh, my God.

00:01:30I'm here.

00:01:31I'm here.

00:01:33It's all right, pet.

00:01:34Here.

00:01:35It's nothing.

00:01:36It's nothing.

00:01:39Your dream is a bad dream.

00:01:41The old man with white in his hair.

00:01:44Who is he?

00:01:45No one.

00:01:46There is no one like that.

00:01:48It was a dream.

00:01:51A dream?

00:01:52Yes.

00:01:53It was only a bad dream.

00:01:58My, what a twist she's got herself into.

00:02:04Are you feeling better now?

00:02:07Are you all right?

00:02:09Yes.

00:02:10She's all right now that old Mary's with her.

00:02:12Aren't you, pet?

00:02:14I'll sit with her for a while, miss.

00:02:16I want to talk to you.

00:02:17Say goodnight to her.

00:02:19Now sleep tight and no more bad dreams.

00:02:23I will leave the door open.

00:02:35Mm.

00:02:37Goodnight, Barbara.

00:02:39God bless you.

00:02:41Was I shouting?

00:02:44Yes.

00:02:44You have said something to her.

00:03:10I never.

00:03:11You know I'd never say anything.

00:03:13Yes.

00:03:16All right.

00:03:19But why did she dream about him again?

00:03:23I've done everything I can to keep the truth from her.

00:03:35When she was a little child, I used to pray that she would never hear the truth.

00:03:39I believe, Mary, our prayers are always answered.

00:03:41But in such a way that we never ask again.

00:03:48How does she know he had white in his hair?

00:03:51Don't.

00:03:52Don't go on so, miss.

00:03:54I've never let her meet anyone I couldn't trust.

00:04:07I haven't taken her to Wolf, but since she was a little girl.

00:04:11God knows if Constance said something to her then.

00:04:14She swore she never.

00:04:16How could I believe her?

00:04:17Anyway, it was all years ago.

00:04:26We were bound to go our different ways.

00:04:33Perhaps it was Squire Mallon himself.

00:04:36Perhaps he wanted to know.

00:04:38Oh, very likely that.

00:04:41After such a long time.

00:04:45How can you say such a thing?

00:04:48God knows he harms her and she only dreams about him.

00:04:54Can you imagine what the truth would do?

00:04:56Michael!

00:05:07Michael!

00:05:09Michael!

00:05:10Michael!

00:05:11Michael!

00:05:12Michael!

00:05:13Michael!

00:05:14Michael!

00:05:15Michael!

00:05:16Michael!

00:05:17Michael!

00:05:18Michael!

00:05:19Michael!

00:05:20Michael!

00:05:21Michael!

00:05:22Michael!

00:05:23Michael!

00:05:24Michael!

00:05:25Michael!

00:05:26Oh, it's sharp out. I think I'd rather stay at home with you.

00:05:31Oh, it's St. Valentine's Day. You go and enjoy yourself.

00:05:35I'll go because Michael's going.

00:05:42You call me, Mum?

00:05:44Come and try your jacket on.

00:05:56Keep still.

00:06:01There now. Stand up straight.

00:06:05Oh, he looks as fine as a gentleman.

00:06:08I wish you'd wear it as if it belonged to you.

00:06:11Think of it, Michael. All the girls in the village will want to dance with you.

00:06:15I might not want to dance with them.

00:06:17You'll meet a young lady, and she'll be your valentine.

00:06:21I said you'd meet a young lady, and she'd be your valentine.

00:06:28What, you gonna wear Connie Pack?

00:06:30Doesn't matter.

00:06:31Hey, I might meet an old gentleman, and he'll be your valentine.

00:06:35Take your jacket off.

00:06:37The people from the hall might be there.

00:06:40Benchams?

00:06:41Right.

00:06:42And the vicar?

00:06:43I don't want to meet anyone.

00:06:45I shouldn't think many people want to go out on a day like this.

00:06:51You could tell Jim and Sarah to start getting ready.

00:06:54Neither.

00:07:04What if the Benchams are there?

00:07:06They don't know anything.

00:07:08And Miss Brigmore?

00:07:09What if she's there?

00:07:11She could tell Michael the truth.

00:07:13She would.

00:07:14She'd do it for his own good.

00:07:16Oh, Connie, Pat.

00:07:17She could make him despise me.

00:07:19She could take his love from me.

00:07:22Oh, no.

00:07:23No, they can't do any such thing.

00:07:26It's so long ago.

00:07:29The truth doesn't grow old, ma'am.

00:07:32It's all right.

00:07:39Miss Brigmore won't go out on a day like this.

00:07:432-3-1-0-2-3-1-0-2-0-2-0-0-2-0-2-0-2-0-2-0-2-0.

00:07:54I love you.

00:08:19Now, come around the corner.

00:08:21Now, the last little bit.

00:08:25Now, stairs. Now, Katie, one step at a time.

00:08:29Come on, Katie!

00:08:33I didn't, I didn't. No, she didn't.

00:08:37Now, three steps to go. One, two, three.

00:08:45Now, two paces forward. One, two.

00:08:49One piece to the left. Stop. Now, we're ready.

00:08:53The first person that I see

00:08:57my true valentine will be. Here. Hey, what time are we leaving?

00:09:01Dad, you're my valentine.

00:09:05Where's my present? Yeah, I thought it would cost me something.

00:09:09There. Now, don't forget, you're taking me to the station.

00:09:13I hate me.

00:09:15Barbara!

00:09:17Who was the first person you saw this morning, today?

00:09:23She doesn't count.

00:09:25Will not my sighs to pity move thee?

00:09:33Say that thou will be mine,

00:09:35and bless the heart that fondly loves thee,

00:09:37and be my valentine.

00:09:39Roses are red, violets are blue.

00:09:49If I said you were handsome,

00:09:51it wouldn't be true.

00:09:53Good morning, John.

00:09:55Good morning, Kate.

00:09:57Good morning, Daniel.

00:09:59Is this for me?

00:10:01What a surprise.

00:10:03Miss Greyhairs.

00:10:13Old maids fade away, and for a love a pine,

00:10:17so you will spend this happy day without a valentine.

00:10:21Thank you, Daniel.

00:10:23I recognize your hand.

00:10:29Mr. Benjamin, come down here.

00:10:31He's in the drawing room.

00:10:37Oh, Lord, I hope she isn't going to show it to him.

00:10:39I don't like it.

00:10:40Oh, it doesn't matter.

00:10:41It's only fun.

00:10:42Oh, come on.

00:10:43Let's get ready to go.

00:10:44Yes, come on.

00:10:45Where are you going?

00:10:46To the village.

00:10:47There's going to be dancing and games.

00:10:49You're coming with us, Barbara.

00:10:51Didn't you ask the brigadier?

00:10:53Well, she won't let me go.

00:10:54Go and ask her now.

00:10:56Oh, she never lets me go anywhere.

00:10:57You won't know until you try.

00:10:59What did you say, Kate?

00:11:00You go into the church, you kneel down,

00:11:02and you say three times, tomorrow is come.

00:11:05And then you see your future husband.

00:11:07Now go on, hurry.

00:11:08Am I allowed to go with the others?

00:11:11Barbara, you do not walk into a room without being asked,

00:11:15nor do you speak without being spoken to first.

00:11:17Hey, hey, never mind last.

00:11:18What do you want?

00:11:19To go with them?

00:11:20All right.

00:11:21No, Mr. Bentram.

00:11:22No.

00:11:23You may not go with them.

00:11:24I said you may not go.

00:11:25Why can't she go with them?

00:11:26No, Mr. Bentram.

00:11:27No, you may not go with them.

00:11:29I said you may not go.

00:11:30Why can't she go with them?

00:11:32No harm will come to her.

00:11:33Our John will look after her.

00:11:34Thank you, Mr. Bentram.

00:11:36I'm sorry, Barbara.

00:11:38It's for your own good.

00:11:42You know what you are, don't you?

00:11:47There will be a lot of local people there.

00:11:50You forget she can see what people are saying.

00:11:52Ah, yes.

00:11:53You're always right.

00:11:54I ought to know that by now, but I can't help hoping.

00:11:57Mind you, somebody else might have told the girl about herself years ago.

00:12:01She'd have learned to live with it, like she'd live with going deaf when she was a child.

00:12:05There's no shame in deafness, Mr. Bentram.

00:12:07She's out to be ashamed of, Miss Brickmore, even if other folk have.

00:12:10I have to protect her from finding out what she is.

00:12:13What she is?

00:12:14What the devil does it matter what she is?

00:12:16That she's illegitimate.

00:12:17That her father raped her mother and then killed himself,

00:12:20and that her poor mother virtually did the same thing.

00:12:22All that matters is that you love her, right?

00:12:24I think I may say that I love Barbara.

00:12:26Oh, come out of here.

00:12:27Stay this woman.

00:12:28Of course you love her.

00:12:29We all love her, don't we?

00:12:30I can't.

00:12:31Oh, stop mindering.

00:12:32Oh, no.

00:12:33I'm sorry.

00:12:34I'm sorry.

00:12:35Briggy, Briggy.

00:12:36I'm sorry.

00:12:37I'm sorry.

00:12:38I'm sorry.

00:12:39I'm worried.

00:12:40I'm sorry.

00:12:41Ah.

00:12:42Will you sit down?

00:12:43Please.

00:12:44Please, please, sit down.

00:12:47Um.

00:12:48Aye, I was talking about the mill.

00:12:52Well, our John will come into it next year,

00:12:54take some of the weight off my shoulders.

00:12:56But it's, um, Tilda.

00:12:59She won't see a doctor.

00:13:02What's the matter with her?

00:13:04Well, she won't tell me.

00:13:06I'm not supposed to know about it, but she'll tell you.

00:13:09Yes.

00:13:10Yes.

00:13:11I will go and talk to her.

00:13:13Ah, good.

00:13:14You've taught us all a thing or two over the years.

00:13:17Aye!

00:13:18If you want to live to the station, you'd better come now.

00:13:20We're leaving.

00:13:21A lot of my teaching seems to have been in vain.

00:13:23Well, I'm off to Manchester.

00:13:25Yes, I will go and talk to Mrs. Benson.

00:13:27Aye.

00:13:28Smile at her, even if you can't at me.

00:23:58Barbara, did you do it?

00:24:01Who did you see?

00:24:03Oh, she's not supposed to tell anyone.

00:24:07Oh, you don't know.

00:24:10Let's go with the girls.

00:24:20Try the gypsy pellets of love.

00:24:22The floating pellet colour will tell you of your true love.

00:24:25One penny for four pellets.

00:24:27Throw them into the water.

00:24:29If the pellet is blue, your love will be true.

00:24:31If the pellet is red, there's danger ahead.

00:24:34If the pellet be yellow, it's not the right fellow.

00:24:37If the pellet be white, love's not yet in sight.

00:24:40Take them in your hand, my child, and cast them into the water,

00:24:44and see which one comes floating to the top.

00:24:48It is a red pellet. There is danger, my child.

00:24:57Miss Varrington. Miss Constance Varrington.

00:25:00I'm Patrick Ferrier.

00:25:02Patrick Ferrier?

00:25:04From Burndale Manor.

00:25:06You must remember, I used to call on you when you were at High Banks.

00:25:10I knew Mr. Ferrier 20 years ago. This is my son, Michael.

00:25:14I don't believe it.

00:25:17Excuse me.

00:25:19Aw.

00:25:37Oh, my God.

00:26:33I thought you were someone else.

00:26:37My name's Michael Radlett.

00:26:40My name is Barbara Mellon.

00:26:42You're my cousin Michael.

00:26:47Why didn't you answer?

00:26:51You must always look at me when you speak, because I'm deaf.

00:26:55You and me, we are cousins.

00:27:08I'm deaf, but I'm not an idiot.

00:27:14You and me.

00:27:25Please.

00:27:27Oh, Berger.

00:27:57Have you got a moment?

00:28:02There's some gypsies in town.

00:28:04I don't want them coming into church.

00:28:07Oh, they won't touch anything in here, Mr. Whitfield.

00:28:10Oh, no, not him.

00:28:14No, no, no, no, no!

00:28:27What's up, Berger?

00:28:31Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:30:51Oh, my God.

00:30:53Look who it is.

00:30:53Ma'am.

00:30:54It's Miss Mallon.

00:30:55Miss Mallon.

00:30:56This is me mother.

00:30:57Oh, Constance.

00:30:58So, you're the Mallon girl.

00:31:00She hasn't got the Mallon streak.

00:31:03I didn't recognize you.

00:31:05It's a long time since I last saw you.

00:31:07Is Miss Bidmore...

00:31:09Miss Bidmore.

00:31:10I came to ask you for a dance.

00:31:11I can't see what you're saying.

00:31:13Would you...

00:31:27Would you like to dance?

00:31:33Who gave you that?

00:31:35Who gave you that?

00:31:44Do you remember when we were young?

00:32:05Come on!

00:32:30Where's Barbara?

00:32:31She said she was going with her aunt.

00:32:33She can't do that.

00:32:35The brigadier will be waiting for her.

00:32:37We'll be in enough trouble as it is.

00:32:47I asked her because she said she wanted to see Wardenburg.

00:32:49That's not right, Michael.

00:32:51We cannot leave her here now, can we?

00:32:53But what about her friends?

00:42:58good night michael

00:43:02you

00:43:06where have you been? Barbara, I thought you were stopping the night at the hall, where have you been?

00:43:31Put some wood on the farm, Mary Pugh. She's been to Wolfborough. I went to fetch her.

00:43:38Wolfborough? What on earth did she go up there for?

00:43:40I haven't talked to her. It was too dark for her to see you.

00:43:47Tell me, I'm tired. Tell me what happened today and you may go to bed.

00:43:52I went to the Valentine party. Mr. Bencham said I could.

00:43:56Where?

00:43:58The Bencham children took her to the fair of the church. Constance must have seen her there.

00:44:03I saw Michael. Did she ask you to go to Wolfborough?

00:44:06Yes.

00:44:07What did you do there?

00:44:08Nothing. I danced with Michael in the barn.

00:44:14That sounds very charming.

00:44:16What's the melon streak?

00:44:26Who told you about that?

00:44:30A man was talking to Aunt Constance.

00:44:33It's of no importance.

00:44:35A long time ago, the men in your family used to have a white streak in their hair.

00:44:42I had them not in my dream.

00:44:44You probably heard somebody speak of it when you were a child.

00:44:50We may go upstairs now.

00:44:53When can I see Michael again?

00:44:54No.

00:44:55Why come to see him?

00:44:57Because I say so.

00:44:59Well, that's no reason.

00:45:00He's my cousin and I want to see him.

00:45:02Barbara, please control yourself.

00:45:04I won't see him. I will.

00:45:05But you always say no. I can't do anything. You won't let me do anything.

00:45:11I will. I won't let me do anything. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will. I will.

00:45:27Please, turn off me. Dad. I can't do it.

00:45:32Please, I can't do it.

00:45:41Please, I can't do it.

00:45:42Please, I will. You're alright, see?

00:45:43I will. I know.

00:45:52You look once again.

00:45:56I'm walking, darling.

00:45:57Why is itinate?

00:45:58You're safe.

00:46:06I...

00:47:07I escaped.

00:47:25I told Miss Brickmore I was going riding with John.

00:47:29I'll find you a letter.

00:47:32What made you think you need leave?

00:47:54Nine, banks, field.

00:48:00Nine, banks, field.

00:48:07What have you been doing since the fair?

00:48:09I've been dancing, I've been.

00:48:10I'm sorry, I'm deaf.

00:48:14I can't help it.

00:48:17Oh, don't pity me, Michael.

00:48:18What did your mother say about me?

00:48:27She doesn't know I'm here.

00:48:28She thinks I'm away to Hexham.

00:48:31If you hadn't sent a letter by the carrier the first time, we'd never have written and met like this, would we?

00:48:35We'd never have seen each other again.

00:48:38Didn't you understand?

00:48:39My mum thinks I'm in Hexham.

00:48:42She doesn't...

00:48:42Write it down.

00:48:43Your mother's gone to Hexham.

00:49:05Why, no, she thinks I'll help.

00:49:08Barbara, she doesn't want me to see you anymore.

00:49:10She hates you for some reason.

00:49:11Look, write it down.

00:49:14Michael, unless you talk properly, I can't read you.

00:49:18I mean, I don't talk like you.

00:49:20No, I don't.

00:49:22Yes, you're the man.

00:49:23I don't.

00:49:35Why?

00:49:39Why does she hate me?

00:49:44What have I done to make her hate me?

00:49:48Why?

00:49:59Michael.

00:50:01It's my fault.

00:50:03It doesn't matter if she hates me.

00:50:05You don't pay me.

00:50:09I learned to read you a word.

00:50:19If I was blind instead of deaf, I could feel what you were saying.

00:50:23I can't read you back when you don't say anything.

00:50:26I can't read you back when you don't say anything.

00:50:28I can't read you back when you don't say anything.

00:50:30I can't read you back when you don't say anything.

00:50:43I can't read you back when you don't say anything.

00:50:46I can't read you back when you don't say anything.

00:50:58I've kissed John Bencham. Didn't mean anything.

00:51:06Oh, you kissed the girl that danced.

00:51:08Sarah. That didn't mean anything either.

00:51:11Who?

00:51:12Sarah.

00:51:14Sarah?

00:51:16That's right.

00:51:19Am I prettier than her?

00:51:28I hate Sarah!

00:51:38I cannot hear ya!

00:51:41I hate Sarah!

00:51:59Northumberland. Bloody hell.

00:52:03I never thought I'd look on Manchester weather with affection.

00:52:09Dad?

00:52:10What am I going to do?

00:52:13John and Dan are going into the mill.

00:52:15But what am I going to do?

00:52:17I don't know, lass.

00:52:18Why don't you ask Miss Brickmore?

00:52:20She says ladies don't do anything.

00:52:22I asked why I had to learn history and geography if I wasn't going to do anything.

00:52:26So that I might do it well.

00:52:29You can never win with that woman.

00:52:32What do you want to do, Katie?

00:52:34Get up at five in the morning, feed the kids, go to the factory.

00:52:38Hume Street!

00:52:40You're worried about your mam, aren't you? So am I.

00:52:44I can remember Hume Street.

00:52:45No, you can't!

00:52:46The kids' memories are like sticks of barley sugar with a sweet right through.

00:52:49Look, anyway, Dad, I'd like to go and live in Manchester all the time.

00:52:52Well, what about the people here? What about Barbara and Briggy?

00:52:54I'll tell you something about Briggy.

00:52:56She's never forgiven us for being Benchams and not Mallons.

00:52:59She's tried hard enough to make us Mallons.

00:53:02She's always telling me to be more like Barbara.

00:53:06Well, she's right, Dad. Barbara belongs here and I don't.

00:53:09I'll tell you something.

00:53:11Since the beginning of the year, Briggy's been looking after your mam and the rest of us like she was one of the family.

00:53:15And she isn't getting paid anymore for doing it either. She's doing it for love.

00:53:18The Brigadier?

00:53:19Aye.

00:53:20She loves Barbara Mallon.

00:53:21Ah, now, don't be jealous, Katie. You don't have to be.

00:53:24You're the lady whether you like it or not, thanks to Briggy.

00:53:27And your mam and me wouldn't have it out else.

00:53:29Oh, you can go to Manchester in the summer. If it ever comes.

00:53:37Oh, Dad.

00:53:42Oh, Mum, you shouldn't come down.

00:53:44Nonsense, Kate.

00:53:47Your mother and I were going for a walk.

00:53:49The weather.

00:53:57I'll go and talk to Barbara.

00:53:58That's very good of you. She's gone riding with John.

00:54:02She's always riding with John.

00:54:08Kate wants to go and live in Manchester.

00:54:11She's restless like Dan.

00:54:13I said you could go in the summer.

00:54:15Well, our John will be there. We may even go ourselves.

00:54:19I'd like to see John settle down.

00:54:22He's very good with Barbara.

00:54:24And, of course, she enjoys his company.

00:54:25I didn't know he was going away so soon.

00:54:27It's not Timbuktu.

00:54:28The trains go there and the natives speak a bit of English.

00:54:32I mean, they can go on seeing each other if they want to.

00:54:37We must think about the future.

00:54:40Go on, Harry. Tell her.

00:54:42Tell her what?

00:54:43About the future.

00:54:46We've been talking about it for years.

00:54:48We want to do something for you.

00:54:51Thank you, Tilda. Tilda.

00:54:53Um, Briggy?

00:54:59There's a sum of money.

00:55:00Now, no argument.

00:55:01Oh, no, I couldn't...

00:55:02No, no, please, please, Briggy.

00:55:03No argument.

00:55:04Tilda.

00:55:05And I thought £3,000 ought to do it.

00:55:08And that's settled.

00:55:22Oh, Mrs. Bentram, that is far too much money.

00:55:24Oh, don't say any more.

00:55:25That's a good lesson.

00:55:32He doesn't know, does he?

00:55:34No, I'm sure he doesn't.

00:55:38You see, he won't know what to do without me.

00:55:41Oh, I'm glad the children are grown up and all.

00:55:45They'll make their own ways.

00:55:46But Harry's so used to me being here.

00:55:51I don't know what he'll do.

00:55:54I don't know where he'll go without me.

00:55:57You want me to stay here, don't you?

00:56:00To keep things as they are.

00:56:02Yes, I do.

00:56:04There's no need for the money.

00:56:05I would have done it for your sake.

00:56:08But thank you.

00:56:11Thank you for my independence, Matilda.

00:56:20Sarah.

00:56:23Where was my luck?

00:56:24I don't know.

00:56:25He didn't tell me.

00:56:26Go away the Hexen, please, ma'am.

00:56:27What again?

00:56:29What did he go there for this time?

00:56:30He said he was away at the library for a book.

00:56:33He likes reading, doesn't he, Malfoy?

00:56:35Do you have this?

00:56:37There's a gentleman who'll see you.

00:56:40He won't drive up because the beast is in the yard.

00:56:41He gave me this.

00:56:43Read it, Sarah.

00:56:47Patrick Ferrier, Esquire.

00:56:49Oh, no.

00:56:50He mustn't come in.

00:56:51Run and tell Mr. Ferrier.

00:56:53What shall I tell him?

00:56:54Tell him you're putting your bonnet on,

00:56:55and you'll be out in a minute.

00:56:57Yes, go ahead.

00:56:58I'll take the stairs fetch Mrs. Raddard's bonnet.

00:57:01I'll wait a day when I'm in the middle of baking

00:57:03and Michael's not here.

00:57:04Oh, no.

00:57:05He doesn't want to see Michael.

00:57:06What shall I say to you, ma'am?

00:57:07I mean, look at me.

00:57:08I can't go up like this.

00:57:09Of course you can, you bet.

00:57:10Take your...

00:57:11Here.

00:57:12Here.

00:57:13Here.

00:57:15Here.

00:57:18Nice.

00:57:22That's it.

00:57:24Oh, you're looking funnier than ever.

00:57:26Off you go.

00:57:27Have a good time.

00:57:28It looks like they're going for a ride in this carriage.

00:57:31Oh.

00:57:32Do you think they'll get married?

00:57:33Oh, yeah, it is full of nonsense.

00:57:34I'd forgotten.

00:57:35We don't often leave the hills.

00:57:36I can tell that.

00:57:37All the years I've been in India, I missed this most of all.

00:57:41and winter.

00:57:42Yes.

00:57:43It's been a long winter.

00:57:44Why did you go there, Patrick?

00:57:46To make my fortune.

00:57:47Mm-hmm.

00:57:48I've enough to keep up Burndale when my father's gone.

00:57:50I liked Burndale.

00:57:51You remember it from the old days.

00:57:52Most of the land's been sold.

00:57:53I doubt if it's as big as Wolfpack.

00:57:54It's not even done.

00:57:55Never ever did it.

00:57:56You shouldn't be.

00:57:57I'm not even.

00:57:58We don't...

00:57:59We don't have to leave the hills.

00:58:00Oh, my God.

00:58:01I had to know you, ma'am.

00:58:02How you were?

00:58:03What did you know, if you were?

00:58:04What did you know?

00:58:05Can I have to know you're gone?

00:58:06I've never been.

00:58:07Me.

00:58:08land's been sold. I doubt if it's as big as Wolfburn, huh? Wolfburn's just a farm.

00:58:13You want to build a decent house down in the shelter of the valley and call it

00:58:18Wolfburn Grange. I will one day. For Michael when he gets married. Why not for

00:58:23you, Constance? You were never meant to be a farmer's wife. I'm a widow with a

00:58:27grown son. You were, until we met again. What am I now, Patrick? A girl in spring.

00:58:36Barbara, stop it. What did I do wrong? You said, when do you open your boat?

00:58:58No, you weren't watching. When do you get to your cottage? Why don't you say

00:59:08something interesting? Well, that's your fault. All you, all you showed me was

00:59:13cottage, meat, together, when, eating, and stupid. That's your favourite word, isn't it?

00:59:21Stupid. Well, you're stupid, not me. You cannot understand me. Show me. How do I say I love you?

00:59:51Yeah.

00:59:54Ah.

00:59:56All that's true.

01:00:00Mm hmm.

01:00:01Mm hmm.

01:01:03I don't believe it.

01:01:08We were all in love with you.

01:01:10William Headley may have been a little.

01:01:11Oh, don't put me second to Headley.

01:01:13Patrick, it was a long time ago.

01:01:18Have I changed so much?

01:01:20I don't understand.

01:01:22I didn't shout about it then, and I shan't now.

01:01:25I was in love with you.

01:01:27Now, we can both go on as we are.

01:01:30Me getting older, you getting prettier,

01:01:33me at Burndale, you at Wolfburg.

01:01:35Or we can put them together.

01:01:38There's Michael.

01:01:40He's still a boy.

01:01:41No.

01:01:42He'll probably want to be off on his own.

01:01:45Where will you be then?

01:01:45I hadn't thought of that.

01:01:52While you were being a mother,

01:01:54you forgot you were a woman.

01:01:56I did not forget her.

01:02:17Good morning.

01:02:18I was a fool to think it.

01:02:28Come on, I'll drive you back to Wolf.

01:02:30No.

01:02:31Dammit, I'm going to ask you anyway.

01:02:33You'll say no, and that will be the end of it.

01:02:35Patrick, don't.

01:02:38Are you going to marry me, Connie?

01:02:39Where's Miss Barbara?

01:02:59What?

01:03:01Who's certain she'll be here?

01:03:03Oh.

01:03:05Well, we'll just have to wait for her.

01:03:07Where do you think she is?

01:03:12Whatever's happening, Miss?

01:03:14Barbara has disgraced herself.

01:03:17And me.

01:03:19I can't put it any less stronger than that, I'm afraid.

01:03:23She told me she was going to spend the afternoon with Mrs. Whitfield.

01:03:27Shall I put the kettle on for her?

01:03:28No, I've had tea.

01:03:31We were having tea when Mr. Whitfield brought his mother to the hall

01:03:34to visit poor Mrs. Bentham.

01:03:37Barbara had never even been there.

01:03:40It was humiliating.

01:03:44Luckily, John Benchon wasn't there.

01:03:48I'm sure that Kate will tell him.

01:03:52What did they do?

01:03:56They laughed, Mary.

01:03:59They laughed at me.

01:04:00Well, they knew where she was.

01:04:02She has no secrets from them.

01:04:04Only from me.

01:04:07But not any longer.

01:04:09When she didn't return to the hall, I knew where she'd gone.

01:04:12To Wolfborough Farm.

01:04:13Never?

01:04:14Oh, yes, Mary.

01:04:15I couldn't believe it.

01:04:16But Kate, as good as told me that she was meeting Michael Raddett secretly.

01:04:19Now, how do they arrange that?

01:04:21She'd never have gone to Wolfborough Farm.

01:04:27You said Constance didn't want the meeting anymore.

01:04:29Yes, that's what you pretended.

01:04:33I'm terrified that they'll talk about the past while she's watching.

01:04:37I'm sure she hasn't gone over there.

01:04:41Thank you, Mary.

01:04:42I'm afraid we can't trust her anymore.

01:04:45The boy isn't even Donaldson.

01:04:51He's not a man.

01:04:59When she comes in, miss,

01:05:01you'll not say anything to Horta, will you?

01:05:04I'm late because I walked from the hall.

01:05:14When I got back there, you'd gone.

01:05:19You must never go out alone again at night.

01:05:23It's better than day.

01:05:26On the fell, it was so still.

01:05:28I knew there was no sound.

01:05:33Give yourself.

01:05:34I want to talk to her.

01:05:40Don't hurt her mind.

01:05:42I'll try not to, but you must learn to speak the truth.

01:05:55Where did you go today, Barbara?

01:05:56Where did you go?

01:06:06Go on, Pat.

01:06:07Tell her.

01:06:10You went to Wolfsburg to see Michael Raddett.

01:06:17Tell me the truth.

01:06:20Tell me the truth.

01:06:21Michael.

01:06:32You're making a fool of yourself.

01:06:38You're throwing away your chances.

01:06:39You could be mistress of high banks.

01:06:47Ever since you were born,

01:06:49that has been my hope for you.

01:06:51To marry John Bencham and to live at the hall, where your mother lived, and which should be yours by rights.

01:07:05Mary Peel and I have given our lives so that you can be a lady with your own small fortune.

01:07:25But you can be a lady with your own small fortune.

01:07:30You must not throw all this away.

01:07:34You must not throw all this away.

01:07:48Michael Raddett is a farmer, son.

01:07:54You must not make the same mistake as your aunt Constance, or you will pay the same price.

01:08:01A life of regret.

01:08:08I didn't ask for life.

01:08:13I can't help it.

01:08:14I can't help it.

01:08:18Mother does die.

01:08:37I'm never coming back to this house.

01:08:39It would be as bad wherever we were.

01:08:42We must keep together for Dad's sake.

01:08:45He could live in Manchester.

01:08:46He bought this place for us.

01:08:49To get away from the grime and the smoke he knew.

01:08:51And we can't get away from it fast enough.

01:09:03Is she still meeting her cousin?

01:09:05Yes.

01:09:07Why do you do it?

01:09:08Gets me out of the house.

01:09:09You're misleading Briggy.

01:09:11Briggy keeps her locked up.

01:09:12Hoping for something that's never going to happen.

01:09:14I can set her free occasionally.

01:09:20Dan's jealous of the farmer's boy.

01:09:22Dan loves Barbara.

01:09:24I don't love her.

01:09:27I'm sorry for her.

01:09:29She's got little enough in this world.

01:09:31You lie for her.

01:09:32You care for her and the boy loves her.

01:09:34I should have thought that was enough.

01:09:35Katie, she never even saw her mother.

01:09:37I'm sorry for her.

01:09:38I'm sorry for her.

01:09:39I'm sorry for her.

01:09:40I'm sorry for her.

01:09:41I'm sorry for her.

01:09:42I'm sorry for her.

01:09:43I'm sorry for her.

01:09:44I'm sorry for her.

01:09:45I'm sorry for her.

01:09:46I'm sorry for her.

01:09:47I'm sorry for her.

01:09:48I'm sorry for her.

01:09:49I'm sorry for her.

01:09:50I'm sorry for her.

01:09:51I'm sorry for her.

01:09:52I'm sorry for her.

01:09:53I'm sorry for her.

01:09:54I'm sorry for her.

01:09:55I'm sorry for her.

01:09:56I'm sorry for her.

01:09:57I'm sorry for her.

01:09:58I'm sorry for her.

01:09:59I'm sorry for her.

01:10:00I'm sorry for her.

01:10:01I'm sorry for her.

01:10:02I'm sorry for her.
