how come you're on terms with lord

redmond's nephew

oh ma'am there's life beyond more vail

foreigner in the family dad

now let's see about audrey you're not

gonna wait for the lot nope

hello sorry

didn't i see you two hanging over

lumley stuff you did

and i don't think they were thinking of

their stomachs

hey they grow up so fast

one minute you're wiping their noses the

next they're getting themselves all

worked up over

men i'm not up to another round of

courtney

oh flurry's fine and young mr bentley's

a steady enough salt

but it's not flurry or threatened over

it's kate isn't it

after spitting in a few eyes and hexam

sadly set foot out of the house in a

fortnight

just worried she might turn into some

kind of recluse

i've not had much fresh air lately so

i'm going for a ride

what in god's name not in those you're

not

where on earth did you get them exam

while you were spending money on another

bonnet for maggie well

you can take them straight back i will

not you know how i've always hated

riding side saddle

but you can't you'll get your name up

no more than it is already

what was that you were saying something

about her becoming a recluse

[Music]

good morning kate saddle ranger for me

terry

ray honest

splendid

big pardon i said it's a splendid

morning kate

oh yes suppose it is

would you be riding over london bridge

by any chance why would i want to do

that

because it offers the finest views in

the county mr bentley

i know what the view is like from linden

bridge i've written over it since i was

a little girl

yes i'm sure you have but rarely on such

a beautiful morning as this

child must be off

[Music]

good day mr benjamin fraser hamilton

but please just call me ben and what are

you doing around here mr hamilton

i live here i'm renting the shepherds

cottage from charles bentley

are you now well that explains

everything all right i admit it

after our brief meeting in hexham i did

mention to charles that i'd like to see

you again

but i didn't expect you to drop into my

lap quite so soon

anyways i'm sorry sorry

maybe i should just ask to myself

your book

it's fine mind you the castle of the

toronto could only be improved by being

stepped on

well you've read horus warfare mr first

yes i have mr hamilton

i've also read most of the works of miss

austin and sir walter scott in fact i

probably read more books than all the

men in hex and put together

[Music]

do you have a good ride yes thanks

[Music]

she had a book what did another book

when she went out did she

[Music]

maggie ask terry the saddle ranger will

you

i'm busy mom kate can do it

no you do it and be sharp about it

mom this butchers have returned hams to

be good not to mention a mountain of

housework

so how come our cake gets to go

gallivanting again while everybody else

is working their fingers to the bone

sometimes i wonder what happened to the

sense you were born with

that didn't answer my question all right

in two words hurry big

after what happened i think we need to

make a few allowances you mean spoiler

even more than usual

you know what i think i'll get myself

left at the altar i could do with a good

holiday

[Music]

so

[Music]

good day miss royston

thank you my name is catherine

but you may call me kate

i'm afraid i don't have any tea it's all

right i like coffee i'm sorry

milk sorry

water water i can do

i hope i'm not interrupting your work

you couldn't because i don't

work i don't work i thought perhaps you

were an author yourself

no i wish i was but if sir walter were

alive i'm afraid he'd have nothing to

fear for me

so if it's not work you must have

another reason

for what a visit in england of course

after my mother and father died i was

raised by my grandparents and my dad's

side

grandpa hamilton made a fortune building

coaches and eventually took me in the

business

then when he passed on i inherited

everything here

you live like a popper i was gonna say a

recluse

so you think i'm doing pennants for some

awful sin i've committed i didn't say

that

maybe i am there were things back home i

needed to get away from for a while not

a woman

not the way you might think anyway yeah

my maternal grandmother came from these

parts

so it just seemed like a good idea to

come and dig into family history what

was the name

fountain

don't move

so what about the royston's local

through and through i guess

that's right but not without your shared

tragedy

just a story i heard when i was digging

into my own family's past

something about a couple murders while

back and how the culprit hanged himself

he was on one of the culprits sounds

like a bad business

it was such things are best forgotten

kate

i'm sure you're right you'd have a hard

job convincing my father of that

sorry i'm late on the table in five

minutes

more books she'll be wearing our

eyeballs out

well it started with a bag of tea and a

flask of milk

then it was a meat turnover and an apple

pie

give up what's the answer what are you

going on about kids rides

my god then they're so stupid

oh i will ride in the hills gives you an

appetite right enough

just be grateful she's not moving around

the house day in and day out

and what about the books books what

books

marilyn what the hell are you going on

about oh

kate can you give me a hand with this

please

sorry maggie i can't i've got a half day

off

another one didn't you have yesterday

afternoon off as well

it's all right maggie i'll help you it's

one rule for you and one for the rest of

us isn't it

that's not fair isn't it no

it isn't after what happened with harry

i didn't take a day off for weeks

that's right she didn't so the way i see

it a few extra half days now is just

taking what i'm old flurry

tell mom i'll be back before dark it's

always the same round here

[Music]

cake

ben

[Music]

there's kate so sorry but called away to

newcastle on business

meet me outside ramshaw's reading rooms

at 11 o'clock tomorrow and i'll make it

up to you

meanwhile see what you think of lauren

stern miss you

ben and i miss you too

i've racked me brains and there isn't an

eligible man for miles

who reads more than a newspaper or a

cuddle pamphlet

is it him you're ashamed of or us

neither then why the mystery kate

because after what happened with harry i

don't want you and dad getting any daft

ideas in your heads

not yet anyway

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

no i was beginning to think you weren't

coming it was served you're right if i

hadn't

you know it said you'd make it up to me

well i thought we'd go for a walk first

then uh lunch at the hotel is that the

best you can do for now

but i'm working on it originally it was

my intention to go home in the fall but

now i'm not so sure

i've never met anyone like you cake

right from the first meeting i've known

our friendship was special

i'm not sure friendship is the best word

to describe how i feel right now

i know

[Music]

the poor old beggar's had his day you're

gonna have to learn to master the

accounts

find a clever woman to do it for you all

[Music]

right

good god what is it dad

[Music]

you're wondering the study why

[Music]

john what's happened

you just wanted that's all

i was in town to sell your father let's

put his paintings up when i found him

he's been back to england twice he said

well that's his story anyway

his wife's still in paris

he wants to see you

i don't know dad

what do you think it's not for me to

save us

but whatever you decide will be fine by

me

[Music]

you still think i've got feelings for

him

don't you

after all the years i'm bearing you

five children of your own

ah stupid i know how many times i must

sell it

hundreds thousands

roddy was a young girl's fancy arm

just one of the pains of growing up

what

what are we going to do if you can't

want to go away with

[Music]

it's coming it's coming

[Applause]

[Music]

he's here and he looks awful grand

you sit down roddy oh no thanks i'm fine

i'm glad you've done so well it must be

a wonderful feeling to have achieved all

that

i mean having you work on show all over

the place

for christ's sake

roddy you should know there's not much

of me in her

and she has your height but that's all

kate

flory away to the kitchen and give annie

a hand with the tea

[Music]

this is scared

hello kate

well don't stand there with your tongue

in a nut this is your father

i know that dad

how'd you do mr greenbank

hal what

let's go and see if the girls have got

everything ready

your mother was wrong you have her eyes

that's what my dad says

you want to know why i've taken so long

to come and see you

i'm not sure that i do well for what

it's worth

i was afraid afraid

to see me no see your mother

when we're young kate we're governed by

our passions

and in the heat of the moment we we

sometimes do things we regret for the

rest of our lives

so why now

why cause all this upset for everybody

i'm getting old i can't turn the clock

back with mary ellen

but i like to try and put things

straight with you before it's too late

and just how do you think you might do

that

i've got more money than i can spend and

i live in paris

it's a different world to this no smelt

mills or

coal mines and to take you to the

galleries and theaters

to dress you in fine clothes and show

you off

it would make me a truly happy man

and what about your wife

do you think having your illegitimate

daughter just stayed make her a truly

happy woman

my wife has lost the knack of happiness

kate

so what do you say will you take root

here

or will you come with me and see

something of the world

there's tea and the rest of the family

in the dining room

i'm sorry mary ellen but i have to get

back to newcastle

kate mr greenbank

how

i'll show you out

he told me he made a mess of things with

mum

and he asked me to go to paris with him

i thought he would

couldn't see the point mind after all

couldn't be better than hexan could it

you and how you should be very proud of

her

we are

goodbye mary helen goodbye roddy

[Music]

get out the way

when you've done that you can give us a

hand with the skimming i know how to

make cheese ma'am

i'm sorry i didn't need to

all right it's all right last we all get

a bit scratchy

when we've got things on our mind

the night before harry jilted me i asked

you about your feelings for dad

but you do now is that it

yes i do

he must be very special this

secret friend of yours oh yes ma'am

you're cheap so you don't want to go to

my uncle's ball next month

i thought the roystons might want to go

will your american friend be there

not perhaps you should ask your big

sister that

this is for kate kate why not should she

know

eat him

told you

way it is what i'm talking about's

know all about what happened between the

royston's and the abandonments kate

after they left your dad in the barn my

mother and uncle sailed for america with

my grandmother

my mother and father met on board ship

and they were married soon after i

docked

i was born the following year and i

think she must have hated me from the

beginning

[Music]

my father's business took him all over

the country he'd be away for weeks even

months at a time

and there were always men around the

house

lots of them and i was always in the

wrong place at the wrong time

[Music]

my father died when i was 12.

soon after my mother fell downstairs and

broke her neck

when i looked back at it the day she

died was the happiest of my life

until that day in hexham when i met you

to raise a family here with you

marry me kane marry me

and we'll do it oh ben
