Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,520
I don't think you understand the
strength of feeling in the town, ma'am,
2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,760
against the blues.
3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,560
I've got this architect coming to
take a look at Northgate House.
4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,560
- Oh, that's still our plan?
- Oh, yes.
5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,200
Have you had a letter
from your sister, ma'am?
6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,040
No.
7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,840
She's sent instruction for evictions.
8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,200
The Rawsons have now had between
four and five acres of your coal.
9
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,600
How could you know a thing like that?
10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,200
"The marriage of captain Tom Lister,
of Shibden Hall,
11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,800
"to Miss Ann Walker of Crow Nest."
12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,280
It's a joke. It's a skit.
13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,360
I think it's genuine, the apology.
14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,640
I think the editor really had no idea
15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,280
he was reprinting anything
other than a bona fide
16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,840
marriage announcement.
17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,520
Mm.
18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Internal inquires were made
at the newspaper office
19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,480
about how the item came to be reprinted.
20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,840
It was inconclusive,
21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,760
but the editor apologises
for not being more rigorous
22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,760
before it went into print
a second time and for the...
23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,840
...embarrassment it caused.
24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,600
Oh, I wasn't embarrassed.
25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,200
But this will satisfy Miss Walker
at least,
26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,240
who did not expect to see it
reprinted in the Halifax Guardian.
27
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,040
Moving on...
28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,400
Bradley has assessed Northgate House.
29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,720
He thinks I need to spend another £1,000
30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,800
to turn it into a good inn.
31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,840
And then Thomas Greenwood's all for
leasing it at £200 a year,
32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,720
although Bradley thinks
I should be asking nearer 300.
33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,280
Would it not be wise,
34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,000
at the risk of repeating myself,
35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,320
to sell it and settle
some of your borrowing?
36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,480
No! Good Lord, no.
We've had this conversation.
37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Oh, and I've decided
to accept Mawson's offer
38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,080
for the tenancy of the Stump Cross Inn.
39
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Oh, well, he seems to be...
40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,800
Good. I'll tell him to come and see
you about signing the lease.
41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,160
And Mytholm, it looks like
Aquilla Green might take it.
42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Oh, I thought that Mallinson...
43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Mallinson is a yellow.
44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,120
I spoke to him about it,
45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,160
and he admitted he would
never dare give a blue vote,
46
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,080
so that's that. I told him until
he could we couldn't agree.
47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,840
You do need to be careful.
48
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:20,040
Oh, yes. Electoral intimidation.
49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Yes, I suppose they'll have me up
before the select committee
50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,920
before long, and believe you me,
I would go, and with pleasure.
51
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Yes, it's...
52
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,160
The yellows are the authors
of this repugnant practice
53
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,680
of exclusive dealing, Mr Parker, not me,
54
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,960
for all Mr William Briggs's efforts
to disclaim it in the Guardian.
55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,640
And well may he do so,
for the yellows are the losers.
56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,480
I had to be really quite sharp
with Mr Nicholson the other day,
57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
due to the want of civility
shown Miss Walker
58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,640
by one of his young men.
59
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,520
We may shop there again
because we pride ourselves
60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,040
in rising above such nonsense,
but others won't,
61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,520
not if they're addressed
so impertinently.
62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,800
And then where would Mr Nicholson
be, hm?
63
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,400
- Out of business.
- I agree.
64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,120
In a trading town like Halifax,
we all depend on...
65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,440
And what was that idiotic
marriage announcement,
66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,560
if not some feeble attempt
to intimidate, to humiliate me?
67
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:10,920
Some cowardly effort to point
a finger because they don't like
68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,920
my opinions or the cut of my jib,
or any of it.
69
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,640
Yes, that's...
70
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,940
How dare anyone speak to me
about intimidation.
71
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,400

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,400
How are you getting on?
73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,080
We've had some very bad news.
74
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,960
Is that Anne?
75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,480
Mr Sunderland's dead.
76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,880
We've just had a note from Dr Kenny.
77
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040
He was with him all last night,
78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,680
him and Dr Jubb, and then he died,
79
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,960
just gone midnight, just like that.
80
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Well, what was the matter with him?
81
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Gout of the stomach, apparently.
82
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Although...
83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,000
- Aunt.
- Oh...
84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Apparently, he was knocked down,
85
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,280
in Halifax, in some skirmish.
86
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,600
And this was after the election
result was declared.
87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Well, he must've got caught up
in the throng
88
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,520
and banged his head and...
89
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,440
They think he was trampled on.
90
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,160
- No.
- Where will it end, all this nastiness?
91
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,360
You're perfectly safe, Aunt.
92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,640
Yes, I am, but what about you?
You're never in.
93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Well, I'm never very far away,
94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,720
and I have a lot of business
on hand so...
95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,200
Oh, poor, poor Mr Sunderland.
96
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,800
Dr Kenny's offered to visit
Aunt Anne if she... No!
97
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,200
No. No, no, no.
98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,520
No. We'll send for Dr Jubb
99
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,080
when we need someone.
100
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,240
- But Dr Kenny's offering...
- Anne?
101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Is that her?
102
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Oh, yes.
103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,200
- Father wants to see you.
- Mm.
104
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,240
I'd rather see Dr Jubb.
105
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,280
I don't know what's the matter
with Dr Kenny. He's perfectly...
106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,000
- Yes, Father?
- Where have you been?
107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,400
Nowhere. Well, Halifax.
108
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,240
Now I'm going to the pit
to see Hinscliffe.
109
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,960
This arrived. Shut the door!
110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,520
Oh!
111
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,480
This came. I opened it.
112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,320
I assumed it was for me, Captain Lister.
113
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,720
But clearly not.
114
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:32,300
Some wit, some wag,
115
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:34,800
begging to "congratulate the parties
116
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,240
"on their happy connection".
117
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Who's seen this?
118
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,140
Nobody.
119
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:41,400
Has Miss Walker seen this?
120
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,000
- No!
- Has Aunt Anne seen this?
121
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,640
No. Just me.
122
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,360
It'll be the Briggses.
123
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,560
10-to-1 it's the Briggses.
124
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,520
You know, if you didn't draw
attention to how odd you are,
125
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,500
they wouldn't do these things.
126
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,480
You'd better get up and get dressed
and get some fresh air.
127
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:03,280
You won't recover lying in bed all day.
128
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,480
I'm amazed you've been at it
this long and not got it sunk.
129
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,160
Well, we've been unlucky.
130
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,000
It collapsed at one point, and then
we had to put everything on hold
131
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,440
to build the drift.
132
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,720
Oh, and there was another pantomime
finding a horse fit to turn the gin.
133
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,200
That was Holt.
134
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,160
But we're at 90 yards now,
135
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,360
and they're confident they can
reach the lower bed
136
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,280
by June, July... August.
137
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,000
But, yes, this is why a second
opinion wouldn't go amiss.
138
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,840
I can't afford any more delays.
I need good advice.
139
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,520
I do like Holt, but...
140
00:06:39,713 --> 00:06:41,920
What's the plan once it's sunk?
141
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Where will you sell it,
up here or down in Halifax?
142
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,440
Both.
143
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Pickles is building a new road along
the top to join the Old Bank,
144
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,080
just below Whiskham.
145
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Then I can cart it down
into Halifax, sell it there
146
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,160
for a shilling more than I can
at the pit mouth.
147
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,640
But...
148
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:03,800
...getting and selling coal
is just one part of the scheme.
149
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080
- Mm-hm.
- The other would be...
150
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,200
...to be in a position where I could
throw water on Rawson's pit.
151
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Not just to stop the trespass,
but to prove it.
152
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,120
And soon.
153
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,240
Well, like I said, we might have
fallen out over that business
154
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,920
up at Willy Hill pit,
155
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,040
but when it comes to dealing
with the Rawsons
156
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,680
I'll be a friend to anyone
who'll be a friend to me.
157
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,200
Thank you.
158
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Did you know I've bought Staups?
159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,440
So you've got Spiggs colliery?
160
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,680
There's a little complication
that needs dealing with,
161
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960
but, yes, strategically, potentially,
162
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,760
it gives me more options
163
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,560
and a lot more control over the coal
across the whole of my estate.
164
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,200
Oh, I can see that.
165
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,960
If it's handled well.
166
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,320
I don't know that I can rely on Holt
to come up with a good, solid,
167
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,720
coordinated plan and see it through
without me having to manage
168
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,240
the thing myself.
169
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,500
But if you helped me...
170
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,440
I've been thinking for a while
about opening a new pit,
171
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,920
further down this way.
172
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,120
Sounds like you've got a plan.
173
00:08:25,780 --> 00:08:27,200
Why would you need me?
174
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Because I don't know enough.
175
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,400
I learn more and more every day,
and the more I learn
176
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,000
the more I realise how much can go wrong
177
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,680
and how much I don't know,
178
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,800
and just what a slippery business
it all is.
179
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480
See, this is why I don't dislike Holt.
180
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,880
For all of his faults, I...
181
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480
I do believe he's as straight as a die.
182
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,800
Whereas you, Hinscliffe,
183
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,560
I'm not really sure I could trust
you any further than I could spit.
184
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,400
Not that I ever would.
185
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,120
You can think what you like
about me, Miss Lister,
186
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,040
but the bottom line is I'm hoping,
if I do you a favour,
187
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520
happen next time I need one back,
188
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,160
you'd be more inclined to oblige me
than you were last time.
189
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,880
What's this "little complication"
that needs dealing with?
190
00:09:19,153 --> 00:09:22,240
William Keighley and John Oates
and Jack Green
191
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,520
believe they have some
kind of claim to the loose coal
192
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,400
underneath Spiggs' land, which,
to be clear, I already owned,
193
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,400
but which they can only access via
my newly acquired colliery.
194
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,720
But there's nothing about it
in my uncle's records,
195
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,200
which there would be if he'd have
come to an arrangement with them
196
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,720
about the loose.
197
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,320
So I'm wondering about flooding Spiggs,
198
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,480
which I can do because I own it,
199
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,840
and stopping them taking the loose.
200
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,240
Except, then, the worry is
I might flood Walker pit
201
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,880
at the same time, before
I've bottomed it
202
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,520
and got to the trespass.
203
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,000
You wouldn't.
204
00:09:58,260 --> 00:09:59,320
Really?
205
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,240
If you flooded Spiggs,
it wouldn't touch Walker pit.
206
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Oh?
207
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,400
Now, will you tell Holt
you're getting rid of him,
208
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,680
or shall I?
209
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,880
Holt.
210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840
I-I won't come in.
211
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,080
So I need to talk to you about...
212
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,400
How are you, ma'am?
213
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,680
Very well. So the thing is...
Thank you. The thing is...
214
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,920
What it is...
215
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,080
I was going to pop
over and see you today
216
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,000
about Mr Walker Priestley's coal
and Mrs Machin's coal.
217
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,120
What about them?
218
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,800
Well, he will sell his coal
at £160 an acre.
219
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Both beds, hard and soft,
upper and lower.
220
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,560
I've offered him 140. He's asked
for ten days to think about it,
221
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,160
but between you and me I'd go up to
160 rather than miss the deal,
222
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,520
because he'll be tempted to go
to Rawson otherwise.
223
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,600
And we don't want that, do we?
224
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,240
Not down there!
225
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,880
Same at the Machins'.
226
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Now, they've promised me first refusal.
227
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,560
And it's more complicated again
with them, like.
228
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,520
- You know she drinks.
- Who does?
229
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,560
- She does, Mrs Machin.
- No, I didn't know that,
230
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,960
but how... How would I know that?
231
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,200
Thing is the land was left half to her
232
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,560
and half to her children,
233
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,800
and they don't all get on.
234
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Well, there's one daughter
in York Castle for debt.
235
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,240
So they all have to agree who
they sell their coal rights to,
236
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,840
and they can hardly agree
which way is up,
237
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,360
never mind who they might sell
their coal to.
238
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Now, I'm well in with 'em...
239
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,640
Well enough. As well as anybody.
240
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,560
...and they'd sell it to me rather
than him, Rawson, by choice,
241
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,760
me buying on your behalf, of course,
not that they need know that.
242
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920
But if he offers them a premium,
243
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,720
one of 'em might get it into their
heads to go with him.
244
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,560
And you can't let that happen,
245
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,200
not down there,
246
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,240
otherwise Rawson's got another back
door straight onto your beds.
247
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,840
- Do you see that?
- Mm.
248
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,640
If I was to flood Spiggs colliery
to stop access to the loose coal,
249
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,320
there's no danger that I could
accidentally flood Walker pit
250
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,560
at the same time, is there?
251
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Oh, yes.
252
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,680
Well, it's highly probable you wou...
253
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,560
Who's told you different?
254
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,880
I don't know who to believe.
255
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,520
I was going to let Holt go,
but I... I need him.
256
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,280
I just need to manage them all better.
257
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,760
I told Holt that he must take care
of Mr Walker Priestley's coal
258
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,400
for me, and the Machins, and then
I explained that I'd instructed
259
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Hinscliffe to work up a plan to
look after Walker pit for me.
260
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,760
How did he take that?
261
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Badly, but...
262
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,640
...I need to glean what I can
from them all,
263
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,680
and then...
264
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,400
...make my own judgments.
265
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,320
Mm.
266
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120
They say that Holt drinks, but...
267
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,640
...I've never smelt it on him.
268
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,600
Well, he's getting on a bit, isn't he?
269
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,360
Perhaps he's just... forgetting.
270
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,000
I'm sorry if I upset you,
271
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,700
this morning.
272
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,120
I've always tried to do my best for you,
273
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,920
one way and another.
274
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,840
It's just I...
275
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,840
I haven't always known how.
276
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,900
And I'm sorry if I said the wrong thing.
277
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,520
Are you sure about
this Northgate business,
278
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,240
turning it into a hotel?
279
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,840
It'll cost money.
280
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,320
And...
281
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,120
...what if it fails?
282
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,320
You don't want to get yourself
laughed at.
283
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,600
Goodnight.
284
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:52,640
Goodnight.
285
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:07,760
Adney?
286
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Stop leaning on me.
287
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,240
What's the matter, hm?
288
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,160
My little Adney.
289
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,400
You need to brush your teeth.
290
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,460
I read your letter,
291
00:14:21,540 --> 00:14:23,760
to Lady Harriet in Copenhagen.
292
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,680
Was there something the matter with it?
293
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Was it not elegantly expressed?
294
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,840
Hm?
295
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,440
Adney, I thought you'd like it.
296
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,600
I thought you'd be charmed by it.
297
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,440
Was it the bit about you?
298
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Adney?
299
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,120
I did ask if I might mention you
and you were delighted. Did I...
300
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Did I misread that?
301
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,360
Adney, I've had a long day.
302
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,120
I've been dealing with men all day.
303
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,520
Tiresome, inarticulate men.
304
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Read it.
305
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,240
Aloud.
306
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,520
The bit about me.
307
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,440
Ah.
308
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,680
"You used to wonder
who would be my companion.
309
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,480
"I think I have provided one
you will like.
310
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,920
"She is little and amiable with
a great deal of common sense
311
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,360
"and good feeling.
312
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,520
"She is now with me here at Shibden,
313
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,440
"and I have never before been
so comfortable at home."
314
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,760
What's not to like?
315
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,520
It's in brackets.
316
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
You've put me in brackets!
317
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,800
It's a clause, an aside,
in a bigger paragraph
318
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,720
about when she and I hope...
319
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,800
...when we all will next meet.
320
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000
Yes, I'm a clause. I'm an aside.
321
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,160
Nonsense. It's an elegant interjection.
322
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,320
I've been canvassed over.
323
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,160
No, you've been elegantly introduced.
324
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,720
As an afterthought.
325
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,680
Well, I'm sorry if you think
that's how it reads.
326
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,760
"I'm sorry if you think..."
Oh, I hate that,
327
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,120
that's what men say.
328
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,160
"I'm sorry if YOU'RE so stupid
that YOU'VE misunderstood."
329
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760
I never said anything about stupid,
nor would I.
330
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,680
- It's an ugly word.
- It's implicit.
331
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,840
Well, then, I shall go and
rewrite my letter.
332
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,200
No.
333
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,160
You needn't do that. I wouldn't wish
to put you to the trouble.
334
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,640
You could merely delete
any reference to me.
335
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,120
That would answer.
336
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Useful to know where I am...
337
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,600
...in the pecking order.
338
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,640
Now, that's just...
339
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,240
My bowels are all wrong again.
340
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,680
Adney?
341
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,360
Can I come in?
342
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,160
It's your house.
343
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,280
Don't say that.
344
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,560
I'm sorry if I...
345
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,760
...hurt you.
346
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,280
That's the last thing I'd...
347
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:11,480
It's just...
348
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,760
...striking the right note
in a letter like that...
349
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,640
People are laughing at us.
350
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,160
No... No, they're not.
351
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,240
Lady Harriet would never be
so cruel or vulgar...
352
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,000
In Halifax, they are.
353
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,760
That idiotic marriage announcement,
354
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,920
reprinted twice, and then that
humiliating business at Nicholson's.
355
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,440
Oh, I think if anyone's humiliated
at Nicholson's, it's not us,
356
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,880
it's Nicholson's silly lads.
357
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,520
I shan't go back there.
I know you want us to...
358
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,440
No, we must.
359
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,120
We must make a point of going in
there again and again.
360
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,000
We must be consistently clear
that we have nothing to hide,
361
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,800
nothing to be ashamed of.
362
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,060
I'm not strong like you.
363
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:04,780
I dwell on things.
364
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,160
Do you remember at Crow Nest
365
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,400
when Mrs Priestley walked in on us,
366
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,440
and you laughed?
367
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,760
I was mortified, and you...
368
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,120
You laughed.
369
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,560
I think, in that moment,
370
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,600
I saw for the first time the real you.
371
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Who is as brave as anyone.
372
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,120
You're stronger than you think.
373
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,920
What I'm wondering, Miss Lister,
374
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,560
is if we've been thinking too small.
375
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,120
I had expected ground plans and
elevations, Mr Bradley,
376
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,040
based on our last conversation,
not more sketches.
377
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:11,880
Oh, they're well under way.
378
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,980
But you've got all this land.
379
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:16,680
And I know that you want your inn,
380
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,000
casino, whatever you want to call it,
381
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,520
up and running by March next year,
382
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080
but within that same timescale, frame...
383
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,440
This all depends how ambitious
you want to be.
384
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,840
Oh, I don't think anyone can accuse
me of lacking ambition, Mr Bradley.
385
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,480
So... Exactly.
386
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,800
So what if... And this is something
you could easily accommodate
387
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,240
in the available space, it all
depends upon how much capital
388
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,440
you've got to play with.
389
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,000
But what if we were to build
new premises here too,
390
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,800
for, say, a bank?
391
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:46,440
And a news room?
392
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,640
And instead of four or five houses,
393
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,400
you've enough land here for
28 brand-new houses.
394
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,400
This entire area could become
a whole new commercial
395
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,140
enclave within the town.
396
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:07,280
And think of the income that
that could generate in rent.
397
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,760
Hmm.
398
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,920
You're going to need a licence
for this, ah, inn,
399
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040
casino, whatever we're calling it
this week.
400
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:23,600
And if you're serious,
I'd apply for it now.
401
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,200
There's no point in throwing
money at the thing
402
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,000
and then finding the magistrates
won't license it.
403
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,080
Well, why wouldn't they?
404
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Well, it's just with Christopher Rawson
405
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,240
being the chief magistrate...
406
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,640
Well, he'd have no reason.
407
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,600
I mean, such an establishment could
only be an asset to the town.
408
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,040
Yes, but we both know what he's like.
409
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,280
- Leave it with me.
- Yeah.
410
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:48,160
Mr Bradley thinks I'd need
to spend another £4,000
411
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,800
on this new scheme.
412
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,960
- Miss Lister...
- Oh, I've been meaning to ask.
413
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,560
If I were a man, for which
I have 1001 reasons
414
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,520
to thank heaven and providence
that I'm not,
415
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,720
would you even think to question
the amount of money I'm borrowing?
416
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,080
All right?
417
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,480
- Mr Booth.
- Dr Jubb.
418
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,680
- Have you heard the news, sir?
- Which, sir?
419
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Parliament, sir. Dissolved.
420
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:49,080
Oh, yeah. We all know about it.
Miss Lister's...
421
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,840
So we must endure
an indifferent Melbourne
422
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,880
once again.
423
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720
And we might've had the intellect
and integrity of appeal.
424
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,400
And you'll have heard the latest,
in Halifax.
425
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,960
If Charles Wood is offered high office
426
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960
in the new Whig administration,
427
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,680
which they seem to think he will be,
428
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,960
it'll trigger a by-election.
429
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Another election? Oh...
430
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,800
And people are saying Mr Rawson himself
431
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,960
will stand this time.
432
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,600
Mr Rawson? Mr Christopher Rawson?
433
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,160
So vexed was he by the attack
on his property
434
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,640
a few short weeks ago.
435
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,520
Is that a good idea?
436
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,120
Would not Mr Henry Edwards
437
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,200
be a better choice of candidate
for Halifax?
438
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,200
Mr Henry Edwards?
439
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,080
I doubt he has either the money
or the stomach for it.
440
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,520
I think Mr Henry Edwards
might surprise us all,
441
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,960
given the chance. Hm, Aunt?
442
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,080
Would you not support
Mr Rawson, Miss Lister,
443
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,720
with your great influence?
444
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,100
Yes.
445
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,800
Without doubt, without question.
446
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:53,080
If he was the chosen Tory candidate
and I had influence over 1000 votes,
447
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600
then he should have every one of them.
448
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,120
I just question whether a man who has...
449
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,400
...offended members of some
of the oldest families in Halifax
450
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,680
is best placed to unite
the Tory vote in a way that's
451
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,000
necessary in such difficult times?
452
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,360
Has he? Has he?
453
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,680
- Whereas Mr Henry Edwards...
- Mm. Well, Mr Rawson is...
454
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,880
He can be, erm...
455
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,160
...abrasive.
456
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,320
Is Miss Lister...
457
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,120
There's a Mr William Keighley
downstairs, ma'am.
458
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280
He says Mr Hinscliffe's sent him to...
459
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:32,440
Something about Staups, Spiggs colliery.
460
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,080
Perhaps, Dr Jubb,
when you do your rounds,
461
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,760
you could intimate to anyone
who's concerned
462
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,640
that others, such as Mr Henry Edwards,
463
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,160
might be better placed to lead the way
464
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,120
and unite the blue vote.
465
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,000
No need to say from whence
the thought sprang.
466
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,760
My aunt and I would hate
to be thought of
467
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,040
as intermeddlers in anything political.
468
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,920
Mr Keighley!
469
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,120
Miss Lister.
470
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,280
Come through.
471
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,120
So it's a record of
all the expenses I've had
472
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,200
driving the drift through
Well Royd Holmes.
473
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,240
Totals £507, 16 shillings
and five pence,
474
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,280
which you'll appreciate
I'd not have spent
475
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,480
had I not had this agreement
with your uncle over the Spiggs coal
476
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,240
in the first place.
477
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,000
Now, if you look in the back...
478
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,840
...you'll see there's a memorandum.
479
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,720
£100, paid by me to your Uncle James
to get all the coal in Spiggs land.
480
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,640
But the fact is there's no record
to corroborate any of this
481
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,080
in my uncle's accounts.
482
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,440
Well, I know nowt about that.
483
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,680
I just know I've spent a lot of
money in good faith.
484
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,880
Why is this memorandum at the back
and not in the correct chronology
485
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,980
with the earlier parts of the accounts?
486
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,160
It... It's just...
487
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,240
It's just the way I did it.
488
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,400
I know it wouldn't stand up
in a court of law,
489
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,040
but, you know, let's hope
it doesn't go that far.
490
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,560
It's just the only record
I've got of what we agreed.
491
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,120
The problem, from my point of view,
492
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,760
and I only ever wish
to do that which is fair,
493
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,680
I've just bought Staups for
a significant sum
494
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,120
and I need some return on my investment.
495
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,920
If you try and get Spiggs coal,
496
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,160
I will flood the pit to prevent access
497
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000
and try the matter at York.
498
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,520
I'm sorry, but there it is.
499
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,960
Not only did my uncle make
no record of it,
500
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,520
but he never mentioned anything
of the matter to me
501
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,400
at the time, and nothing
of this arose in the last
502
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,240
however many months it's taken to
complete the purchase of Staups,
503
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,520
with the searches and so forth, so...
504
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,360
You do know, if you flood Spiggs
505
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,000
you'll flood your little pit up here.
506
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,240
Not necessarily.
507
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,520
Almost certainly you would.
508
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,880
There seems to be some difference
of opinion on that.
509
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,280
Who's told you otherwise?
510
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,440
Hinscliffe?
511
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,320
Well, he would say that.
512
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,080
He would say the opposite
and then happily watch it flood.
513
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,340
And do you know why?
514
00:27:18,220 --> 00:27:21,240
Because he's had more of your coal
than the Rawsons have.
515
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,520
Morning, ma'am.
516
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,200
Has Mr Hinscliffe been up
to see you today?
517
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,000
He popped up this morning.
518
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,400
I suppose you and your brothers
think I'm foolish
519
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,240
to trust him above Holt?
520
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,600
Who's to say?
521
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,920
I don't necessarily trust him.
522
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,880
I'm just using him to get some
information from him.
523
00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:57,640
If I was to stop the loose at Spiggs,
524
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,560
how would it affect this pit,
525
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,000
in your opinion?
526
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,160
Oh, I...
527
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,040
Would it flood it,
or would it not flood it?
528
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,800
Well, our Robert'd have an opinion.
529
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,000
He'd certainly know about Spiggs.
530
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,040
He's worked all t'mines round here.
531
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:12,240
Where is Robert?
532
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,400
He's... digging.
533
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,440
Ah.
534
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,120
So was it right, then,
what Mr Hinscliffe said?
535
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,760
You're thinking of sinking another
pit further down nearer t'Hall?
536
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,360
Only I hope you'd consider us, ma'am,
537
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,760
to sink it, if you did.
538
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,120
For the right price.
539
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,480
What's the plan, then?
540
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,960
The plan...
541
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,520
...would be to sink
this other pit somewhere,
542
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,160
50 or 60 yards Shibden Hall
side of Walker pit,
543
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,360
and drive two drifts up to it
from such a place in the lower land
544
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,840
as I could build a water-wheel
to power a pit engine.
545
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speak to Robert.
546
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,680
Tell him to come and see me if he
thinks he can be useful, hm?
547
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,560
- Anne!
- Ah. There you are.
548
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,640
I've found something,
in my family papers.
549
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,480
Well, two things, actually.
One I half-knew
550
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,800
but I'd half-forgotten,
and the other, I had no idea.
551
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,920
What?
552
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,960
Well, it would... It would appear
that, erm...
553
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:28,920
What?
554
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,920
Well, erm, that in 1831
my sister, legally,
555
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,720
through lease and re-lease
and some sort of deed of sale,
556
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,560
conveyed all of her property
onto Captain Sutherland.
557
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,320
All of it, everything.
All her share of the estate.
558
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,840
And that's contrary, directly contrary,
559
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,360
to a provision set out
by my father in his will,
560
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,320
which protects us both
from having to submit
561
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,760
our fortunes to any husbands.
562
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,840
Does it?
563
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,120
I mean, why would she do that?
564
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,040
Why would she give up that protection?
565
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,480
And why would she not tell me
that's what she was doing?
566
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,760
So... Hang on. So your father...
567
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,600
So my father made provision in his will,
568
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,120
in the event of my brother's death,
569
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,360
for me and Elizabeth to jointly
inherit everything.
570
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,560
But he also made what I was always given
571
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,240
to believe was an unshakeable clause...
572
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,040
contrary to the normal
way of doing things,
573
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,200
that stated that,
should we ever get married,
574
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,200
we must, and would, retain ownership
575
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,840
in our own share of the estate, but...
576
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,680
- That was interesting of him, to do that.
- Yes, but in 1831...
577
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,440
He never mentioned this when
Ainsworth was sniffing about.
578
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,200
Yes, no. Exactly.
579
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520
He did it to deter fortune hunters
like him.
580
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,120
But then, in 1831,
three years after they were married,
581
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,520
she submitted everything to him,
to Captain Sutherland.
582
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,320
And, Anne, I just...
583
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,200
I can't believe she would've
done that willingly.
584
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,480
He must've bullied and cajoled
and coerced her
585
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,120
into signing away her half of
the family's... Everything.
586
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,040
Knowing that it's contrary to
what my father intended.
587
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,720
Anne, she'd never hurt me.
588
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,160
And there are few things in this
world I have the confidence
589
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,600
to state so boldly, but one thing
I know for sure is
590
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,200
that Elizabeth would never
willingly cheat me out of
591
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,240
what's ours, but she has because of him.
592
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,320
Cheated you how?
593
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,160
Some of its property that
on her death would've reverted
594
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,960
to the estate, to me.
595
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,720
They don't know that I might
not still have children.
596
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,520
He's found a legal loophole to
make a mockery of it all,
597
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,220
and to, well, to steal it.
598
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,200
What was the other thing?
599
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,800
So, John, my John,
always used to complain
600
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,520
that Mr Priestley and his brother John
601
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,560
had worked their way into
my uncle's affections
602
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,560
till he ended up leaving them
things in his will
603
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,000
that should've remained entailed
to my father.
604
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,000
I never thought of it as my business
605
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,720
but then here it is in black and white.
606
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,200
They have had three properties from us,
607
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,720
substantial properties.
608
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,560
Blackcastle, which is an allotment
to High Sunderland,
609
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,240
Hall End in Halifax
610
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,600
and Longley Farm over in Norland.
611
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,040
My uncle had no right to give them away,
612
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,160
and it galls me even more since
the Priestleys have been
613
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,160
so objectionable to us.
614
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,880
Parker drew this up.
615
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,840
But who did the legal work
on this other business
616
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,680
with Captain and Mrs Sutherland?
617
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,800
Erm...
618
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,320
Parker and Adam.
619
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,760
I've never liked Parker.
620
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,760
I don't know why you put
so much faith in him.
621
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,560
Maybe it's not irreversible.
622
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,880
Let's go and consult Mr Gray
in York on both matters.
623
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Do you think my family have
any clue about what
624
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,760
Captain Sutherland's done?
625
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,720
Of course we knew.
626
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,000
We all knew.
627
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,040
All but me!
628
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,840
Oh, well, you weren't well.
We kept it from you.
629
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,120
All your cousins and uncles
and aunts knew.
630
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,760
And it's precisely because of it
that we've been so zealous in trying
631
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,720
to protect you and your fortune.
632
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,640
But, no, Elizabeth wouldn't've...
633
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,400
Elizabeth did it without scruple!
634
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,280
I don't believe for a second...
635
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,880
He ran rings around her.
636
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,800
She'd have done anything he asked.
637
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,800
Sense was out of the window,
638
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,640
and she might well regret it now,
now it's too late.
639
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,040
And that weak, odious Robert Parker...
640
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,120
He was meant to be acting for the family
641
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,920
but no, no...
642
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,560
No, Sutherland ran rings round him too.
643
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,880
I'm half-minded to change my will.
644
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,320
I thought you already had.
645
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,240
No. When? No.
646
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,720
You made Miss Lister your executor
instead of your cousin,
647
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,040
Mr Priestley, last year.
648
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,360
Who told you that?
649
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,800
Well, she did.
650
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,240
Last spring.
651
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,000
When you went missing,
when you absented yourself in York.
652
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,080
She used to come over here,
laying the law down.
653
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,080
I made her my executor, yes,
654
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,240
but the contents remain unchanged.
655
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,200
I certainly wouldn't change it
without telling you,
656
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,080
even if others have behaved
as they have.
657
00:33:34,140 --> 00:33:35,320
What? What's the matter?
658
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,880
I...
659
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,440
Oh.
660
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Aunt?
661
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,400
I, erm...
662
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,840
Well, I had imagined...
663
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,320
with all this talk of a formal division
of the estate,
664
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,240
that you had already
changed the will itself.
665
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,840
How? No.
666
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,360
In Miss Lister's favour.
667
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,800
Well, that's...
668
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,240
...a possibility.
669
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,200
And, yes, if I never have children,
670
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,760
and if Miss Lister and I
were to continue
671
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,800
as such kind companions, well,
672
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,320
yes, I hope we would think
to make some provision
673
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,760
for one another, but as things stand,
674
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,800
no, it still all goes to Elizabeth
675
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,480
and then to Sackville.
676
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,640
Well...
677
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,240
...I changed mine when you moved
into Shibden Hall.
678
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,360
I removed you from it,
679
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,840
in Elizabeth's favour.
680
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,580
There was a letter for you this morning,
681
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,680
in the post-bag.
682
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:57,920
From Washington.
683
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,480
Where is it?
684
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,280
Oh, do you want to see it?
685
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,360
I don't know. Is it interesting?
686
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,640
The distresses you requested
have all been carried out.
687
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,640
I didn't request anything.
688
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:17,080
A Mrs Greaves went
to Shibden Hall begging
689
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,840
not to be evicted, but apparently
your sister wouldn't hear of it.
690
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,000
She was determined
to carry out the, ah...
691
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,280
Your... our...
692
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,960
...request to the very letter.
693
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960
What a cruel time of year
to evict people.
694
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,960
Well, yes, I agree.
695
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,560
But if she wants a division
of the estate,
696
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,860
things must be put in order.
697
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Washington tells me he's submitted
a proposal to her, to Ann,
698
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,840
for what he believes to be a fair
division of the various lots
699
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,680
of the estate,
based partly on contiguity
700
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,360
and partly on value, so...
701
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,360
We shall see what she sends us,
702
00:35:54,260 --> 00:35:55,480
when she's gone through it.
703
00:35:56,340 --> 00:35:57,900
Although, I'm tempted...
704
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,520
Oh, I don't know. What?
705
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,120
I still don't know why
there's this great urgency
706
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,840
for the thing.
707
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,200
There's something
in her last few letters.
708
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,320
This...
709
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,120
...litigious tone.
710
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,680
She's suddenly become so confident,
so well informed.
711
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,080
I'm wondering whether
you shouldn't write to her
712
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,360
and say that, whilst in principle
we... you're happy with the division,
713
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,320
you think it might be better to wait
until we can visit them,
714
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,720
when the weather's
better for travelling.
715
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,440
That would be...
716
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:37,640
Yes, I'd like that.
717
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:39,360
Good. Good!
718
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,040
I think, before we sign off
on the thing,
719
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,280
we should satisfy ourselves
720
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,160
there's nothing nefarious going on
721
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:49,080
with your family.
722
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,400
Although, as I say, I always
imagined Miss Lister would
723
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,080
protect her from any nonsense. Mm.
724
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,080
Yes, curious woman...
725
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,800
...Miss Lister.
726
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:04,240
Well, I'm delighted Miss Walker's
gone to see her aunt.
727
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,600
Not that I dislike her,
not for a moment.
728
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,280
I'm thrilled for her and just
jealous that she has you
729
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,280
to gaze at all day.
730
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,480
When I'm in.
731
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,560
This is the second time in three months.
732
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,120
What are you after?
733
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,800
Only to gaze upon you.
734
00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:26,440
I was telling you about my planned
developments at Northgate House.
735
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,320
Oh, yes.
736
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,480
Your Uncle Joseph would be livid!
737
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:31,720
Yes.
738
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,640
Yes, but the world moves forward,
and sometimes
739
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:36,280
we have to move with it.
740
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,920
And don't you agree, Mrs Rawson,
741
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,560
that this whole enterprise
could be a huge boon for the town?
742
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,880
Oh, yes, yes.
743
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,400
Well, the town gets bigger by the week.
744
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,160
Precisely, and this could create
a whole new enclave.
745
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,000
And I'm not such a noodle as
to refuse what would pay
746
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,120
such good returns.
747
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,320
A whole new quarter.
748
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,400
As long as no-one were to obstruct me
749
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,560
in getting a licence for
my casino... inn.
750
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,920
- Hotel.
- Oh, is that what you're after?
751
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,800
My influence.
752
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,640
Well, I would hope I wouldn't need it.
753
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,600
As I say, I would hope
that such a venture
754
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,480
would be eloquent of its own merits.
755
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,120
But, certainly, one word from you,
756
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,920
in the right ear,
757
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,640
would be worth 1000 from anybody else.
758
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,000
Mr Rawson.
759
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,280
Mrs Rawson.
760
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,280
Mother!
761
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,400
- Oh, hello.
- Mr Rawson.
762
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,200
Christopher, is it true
what Miss Lister tells me,
763
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,880
that you're standing for Parliament?
764
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,160
Oh, you've heard!
765
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:43,826
Is it wise?
766
00:38:43,906 --> 00:38:46,440
Yes, I've put my name forward
and expect to be adopted
767
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,360
- at the next committee meeting.
- You have too many trades.
768
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,920
- Who said that?
- Me. I said it.
769
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,720
No point in looking at Miss Lister.
770
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,560
And it's what your father
used to say too.
771
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,400
What a shame you can't stand for
Parliament, Miss Lister.
772
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,440
With your superior intellect and
your powers of diplomacy
773
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,280
and persuasion, you would've stood
774
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,000
head and shoulders above anyone else!
775
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,680
Good Lord, look at the time.
776
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,280
She should be running the country.
777
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,320
Yes, what a shame.
778
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,440
Oh, she's not leaving?
779
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:19,960
I was very sorry, Mr Rawson...
780
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,440
to hear about the mindless vandalism
781
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,880
at Hope Hall.
782
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:29,120
Yes, well... And to assure you,
as I told Dr Jubb, that,
783
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,800
if you are to be
Tory candidate for the town
784
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,800
and I had influence over 1000 votes,
785
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,320
you would have every one of them.
786
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,240
Au revoir.
787
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,600
À bientôt.
788
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,000
Mr Rawson.
789
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,560
Miss Lister.
790
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,320
Ugh. That colour's never suited you.
791
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,280
"Dearest Freddy...
792
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,760
"It is something new to feel
that I write
793
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,600
"for two sets of eyes instead of one.
794
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,240
"Now that my mind is more at ease,
795
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,680
"I hope to get into better health.
796
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,720
"Either you or the medicines
have done me good.
797
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,880
"And, as you have often said,
798
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,240
"knowing the worst is often
the best means
799
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,080
"of reconciling ourselves to it.
800
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,040
"Come what may,
801
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,440
"however at variance with my wishes,
802
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,720
"there is one subject left in which
I will never disappoint you.
803
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,040
"I will always...
804
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,640
_
805
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,880
"I once wronged my own heart
to please my family,
806
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,920
"but this was not doing right,
807
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,720
"and dearly I have paid for it.
808
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,000
"But the scale is now turned,
809
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,600
"and my thoughts are now set upon...

opinion to the last,

00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,840

812
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,000
"with me again."
813
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,320
Hmm.
814
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,200
Where's Miss Walker?
815
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,120
Hmm?
816
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,160
Oh, she's not well.
817
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:09,640
Again?
818
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,720
It's this... nonsense with her aunt.
819
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,760
Every time she goes over there,
she says something cruel
820
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,720
and unnecessary, and it always
knocks her for six.
821
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,000
Oh, I'm sorry.
822
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,080
"When you speak of your 'little friend',
823
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,000
"write her name in full.

00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,160
"And tell me, Freddy..."
828
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:36,880
Is that Mrs Lawton's handwriting?
829
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,200
It is, yes.
830
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,320
- "Tell me, Freddy..."
- Has she got anything fresh?
831
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,320
Well, let's see, shall we?
832
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,920
"Tell me, Freddy, do you see
the York papers?
833
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,160
"And do you know anything
of a paragraph that appeared in one
834
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,160

00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,280

"Tell me if you've heard..."
837
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:04,280
If you'll excuse me,
838
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,200
I'm going to take Miss Walker
her letters and some tea.
839
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:13,160
Oh, and Mr Abbott's due this evening.
840
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:15,840
As usual. Just to remind you.
841
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,760
Just so you know to...
842
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,920
...stay out of the way.
843
00:42:28,240 --> 00:42:31,840
She wants to defer the division
of the estate again.
844
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,320
"Until we can travel more comfortably."
845
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,520
This is him.
846
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,120
He'll put it off and put it off
until it doesn't happen.
847
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Who's this one from?
848
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,120
Perhaps we should instruct
Mr Gray to write to him
849
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,760
rather than her in future,
850
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,200
stop this pretence that it's
her who's being difficult, hm?
851
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,040
Ann?
852
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,560
Ann?
853
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,240
What is it?
854
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,720
"Dear Miss Walker. I fear
this may not reach you,
855
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,960
"but if it does I urge you,
under no circumstances,
856
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,520
"to show it to Miss Lister."
857
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:19,720
Bad luck.
858
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,200
"However much you may believe
this woman to be your friend,
859
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,720
"I tell you plainly she is not."
860
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,160
Do you recognise the hand?
861
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:30,480
No.
862
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,600
"Are you really unaware
of the unspeakable reputation
863
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,480
"this woman has?
864
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,920

you off from your family

you may not understand it,

"please believe me when I tell you

00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000
"that you are in the gravest danger."
868

Ooh-la-la!
869
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,360
"She will beguile you and,
before you know it,
870
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,800
"she will have tricked you
out of all you have,
871
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,080
"your reputation, your wealth,
your peace of mind.
872
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,440
"Ask her to tell you about Eliza Raine."
873
00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:12,640
"I urge you to get away from her
and Shibden Hall
874
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,240
"as quickly as you can."
875
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,520
"Be assured that you will hear
from me again soon,
876
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,920
"and that I will not be at ease
until I know that you are
877
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,240
"in a place of greater safety.
878
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,240
"I am, madam, a well-wisher."
879
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Anne?
880
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:38,760
Things like this.
881
00:44:39,620 --> 00:44:40,660
All my life.
882
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,720
Who's Eliza Raine?
883
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,480
I'll tell you about...
884
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,880
...Eliza Raine.
885
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,280
Is she another Mrs Lawton
or another Tib?
886
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,920
We were at school together
in York, 13-year-olds!
887
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,440
And then...
888
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,160
...when she was older...
889
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,320
...she had problems,
890
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,280
properly, not like...
891
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,560
She's been in an asylum in York
for the last 20-odd years.
892
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,440
And I visit her, occasionally,
for old time's sake,
893
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,320
but she's violent and she...
894
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,800
She spits and swears and
she's attacked me
895
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,360
more than once, and others.
896
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,120
She could never live independently,
the way she is.
897
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,680
So the person who sent this
knows about her?
898
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,080
Eliza used to come and stay
with us in Halifax,
899
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,160
over the summer.
900
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,560
Her parents were in India,
so she couldn't go home.
901
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,120
So it could be anyone in
Halifax that remembers her.
902
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,720
She's...
903
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,640
She was very striking to look at.
She's half Indian.
904
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:54,320
Were you in love with her?
905
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:56,960
I loved her, yes.
906
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,160
In love?
907
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,160
This has been sent to cause
division and upset.
908
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:04,480
Will you let it?
909
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,760
Was she in love with you?
910
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,200
Well, we were very young!
911
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,160
And the tawdry implication here
is that she ended up
912
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:11,440
the way she did because of me.
913
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,280
It's just... It's just nonsense.
914
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,360
I did everything I could to help her.
915
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:26,720
Burn it.
916
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:48,400
Please get up and get dressed,
917
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:49,960
for my sake,
918
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,000
for your own sake.
919
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,200
We can't give in to these people.
920
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,280
We must be better than them.
921
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,400
That'll be the men about the pit. I...
922
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,200
I've got to go.
923
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,400
Robert agrees with Mr Holt, ma'am.
924
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,280
He thinks you should bottom
Walker pit before you flood Spiggs.
925
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,560
And, as regards another pit
50, 60 yards this way,
926
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,920
I'd say it were a very good thing,
ma'am,
927
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,760
if you're willing to spend t'money.
928
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,600
Here. You dropped your...
929
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,920
Because then you could loose
a whole sweep of coal
930
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,960
lying on the Shibden Hall side
of Pump, and upwards in
931
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,120
a line parallel to the present
old waterhead
932
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,720
hold under Cunnery houses.
933
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,560
Where would you sink this new pit?
934
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,360
Well, if you're putting the water wheel
935
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,880
down at Tillyholme stile,
936
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,680
I'd say here,
937
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,880
at Pump, where you suggested.
938
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,360
And then if we drove two heads up
from Tillyholme stile,
939
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,240
- that's t'idea? - Yeah.
- Which we could do easily enough
940
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,040
if we made a vent hole
in t'corner of Dolt,
941
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,560
then this pit at Pump,
942
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,000
you'd have it working just as soon
as it were bottomed,
943
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,200
and it'd serve as a vent to Walker pit.
944
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,040
This way, all the coal
above the Wakefield Road
945
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,880
and between the two pits could be
pulled at Walker pit,
946
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:36,600
and all t'coal below Wakefield Road
could be pulled at
947
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:37,880
this new pit at Pump.
948
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,560
And then you'd be left
with a good barrier of coal
949
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,040
all along this side up here. So in
fact you could stop Spiggs colliery
950
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,360
any time you liked after
this second one's sunk,
951
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,160
and let all that face of coal
stand, covered in water,
952
00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,360
ready to throw it on Mr Rawson's works
953
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,600
any time you wanted, which,
if he hadn't have trespassed,
954
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:54,600
you'd never have been able to do, so...
955
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,200
It'd be a way of proving
his trespass too.
956
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,880
And anyone else's.
957
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,920
How long do they say it'll take
to construct it?
958
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,960
To dig the drifts and sink
the pit, eight months.
959
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,760
As to the dam...
960
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,480
You'd have to give Carr notice
to quit the Well Royd land
961
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,120
if you're going to turn it into a dam.
962
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,320
His tenancy's up in eight months, so...
963
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,560
I've calculated that, for the volume
of water needed to turn
964
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,560
an 18-foot-diameter water wheel,
the dam needs to be four-foot deep
965
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,120
across two acres, so with that
and the dam goit
966
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,640
we could be up and running in 12 months.
967
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,640
Do you know anyone with a theodolite?
968
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,000
Mr Priestley.
969
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,240
Miss Lister.
970
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,560
Were you at the hall?
971
00:50:04,300 --> 00:50:05,420
Ah, yes, I...
972
00:50:06,300 --> 00:50:07,840
Yes, I went to see your father.
973
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:09,640
And your sister.
974
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,320
And my cousin. But she wasn't in.
975
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,280
No. She's in Huddersfield,
visiting her cousin Catherine.
976
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,080
Yes.
977
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,440
- So you've missed her.
- Yes.
978
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,120
Well, then, you've missed her
and you've caught me.
979
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,560
That probably wasn't the plan
at all, hm?
980
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,080
Plan?
981
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,440
I was hoping she might like
to make a subscription
982
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,720
to the clergyman's widows fund.
983
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,320
It's not beyond the realms
of possibility.
984
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,520
- Well, then.
- Well, then.
985
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,640
You'll have to try again another time.
986
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,080
Miss Lister.
987
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:50,440
Mr Priestley.
988
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,400
My dear Mary.
989
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,680
I can't at the moment turn
to the item from the newspaper
990
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,720
that you refer to, and so I must
send it another time,
991
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,520
but the announcement was, in substance,
992
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,120
"The marriage of Captain Tom Lister,
of Shibden Hall,
993
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,840
"and Miss Ann Walker,
late of Crow Nest."
994
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,320
On discovery of the hoax,
995
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,680
a handsome volunteer apology
was sent by the editor
996
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,680
of one of the papers,
and here the matter ended,
997
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,560
for nobody was annoyed
and nobody cared about it.
998
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,840
- Ma'am?
- Yes, thank you.
999
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,320
Thank you, Rachel.
1000
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,200
Thank you, Hemingway.
1001
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,080
We should start packing for tomorrow.
1002
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:00,760
I ordered the horses for nine.
1003
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,720
We should be in York by one.
1004
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,640
I'm not sure about this Mr Bradley.
1005
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:09,960
I'm not convinced his intellect
matches his ambition.
1006
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,120
Shall I do the duty?
1007
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,880
I didn't tell you this because...
1008
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,040
...I don't know.
1009
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,760
But when you went to see Catherine
the other day,
1010
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:28,360
and Mr Priestley called,
1011
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,480
he was flustered and, I don't know,
1012
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:35,400
I wondered whether it was him
who wrote that letter,
1013
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,520
or her, or both of them,
1014
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,680
and he was calling to see
what effect it'd had.
1015
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,440
I don't care who sent it.
1016
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:49,840
It's irrelevant.
1017
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,800
I don't think we should
mention it again.
1018
00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:02,560
I told Catherine about
what Elizabeth had done.
1019
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:04,960
Did she know?
1020
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,040
No.
1021
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,040
I think she'd have told me if she did.
1022
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:11,920
We will sort this out.
1023
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,240
It just saddens me.
1024
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,840
What does?
1025
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,440
Thinking about what it's all for.
1026
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,160
And...
1027
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,880
...without children...
1028
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,280
...I'm not sure what it is all for.
1029
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:38,920
And is it not...
1030
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,000
Not?
1031
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,440
...God's purpose that we...
1032
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,800
...people...
1033
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,280
...have children?
1034
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,720
I just regret that
it will all go to them,
1035
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,000
ultimately, to Sackville.
1036
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,860
I never did before, before this, but...
1037
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,080
...it's just made me dwell on it all.
1038
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,660
And I suppose I had always
imagined that...
1039
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:14,840
...one day...
1040
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,640
...I would have..
1041
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,280
...children of my own. That's all.
1042
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,440
You once told me you felt
a kind of repugnance...
1043
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,720
...to forming any sort of connection
1044
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,640
with the opposite sex.
1045
00:54:33,720 --> 00:54:34,880
It's not the same thing.
1046
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,280
Isn't it?
1047
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:42,320
You mean, you'd imagined children
but not marriage?
1048
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,200
To a man.
1049
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,640
I don't know. Yes.
1050
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:48,080
Somehow, I...
1051
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,880
...had imagined being...
1052
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:57,640
...a mother, but not being,
you know, with a man.
1053
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,680
So you haven't given up all thought
1054
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:03,920
of ever having children?
1055
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,400
It's not... It doesn't signify,
does it? I'm with you.
1056
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,000
It does signify.
1057
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,080
Because I need to have the confidence
1058
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,120
that this thing between us
is truly settled
1059
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,960
and I'm not just keeping you warm
until some man comes along.
1060
00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:19,440
It's much the same as I told Marian
over Mr Abbott,
1061
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,200
you'll not find me any obstacle
to something you have
1062
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:23,640
very much at heart.
1063
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:24,760
Don't say that.
1064
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,040
Because I can be as a meteor
in your life,
1065
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,240
if that's what you'd like,
a meteor that burns
1066
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,240
more brightly than anything
you could ever imagine.
1067
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:33,920
And then is gone.
1068
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,560
Forever.
1069
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:44,920
Things like this.
1070
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,200
All my life!
1071
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:47,960
I pretend it gets easier,
but it doesn't.
1072
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,960
- Anne...
- We do things for us.
1073
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,840
That's who it's for.
1074
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,540
So that we can have a life
together. WE matter.
1075
00:55:55,620 --> 00:55:58,800
Having children isn't the only
reason to strive and do well
1076
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,560
and better oneself and be happy.
1077
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,520
I'm sorry.
1078
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,680
It is, I've said it before,
1079
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,800
a great sadness that
we can never have children.
1080
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,760
But if you're not certain
it isn't something
1081
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,600
you'll want in the future, then...
1082
00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:16,880
...I need to know about that now.
1083
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,120
Because it's something that
I can never give you.
1084
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,360
Just as we can never have a piece
of paper that says
1085
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,400
we have any kind of legal union
to bind us,
1086
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,160
neither can we have the bond
a child would give us.
1087
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:31,920
So we have to be certain...
1088
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,960
- You're frightening me.
- I'm frightening you?
1089
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,800
- I'm sorry.
- You have to be certain...
1090
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,840
...before we set off for York,
1091
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,120
before we think any further
about changing our wills,
1092
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,680
that this, here, with me,
is what you want.
1093
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,160
I want to be with you,
1094
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:50,440
more than anything in the whole world.
1095
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,120
- You know that.
- Nevertheless...
1096
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,000
...it is a great sacrifice,
1097
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,640
and if you're not sure it's one
you can make,
1098
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:01,400
well, then...
1099
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,720
I'm going to start packing for York.
1100
00:57:57,060 --> 00:58:01,560
