I'm not dying.

No you're not.

Is that...

Have you ever thought of getting married?

Well, I mean...

I was wondering if you heard any thoughts in that direction concerning my ward.

You mean Hannah, Mrs.

I care about you Hannah.

I'll be a good husband if you'll be a good wife.

What do you say?

Perhaps it might turn out to be your salvation.

Salvation?

Margaret, I said Fred Loom!

You could make something of him.

Fred Loom!

He's fond of you.

No!

Oh, it's the innocent look now.

You've tormented me without ever since you first walked into the yard.

All these years I've wanted you so badly.

No!

Leave me, Violet!

Look at the foot!

Just one!

Made a lamp that stuck out with me.

Leave me!

Leave me!

We're here to stop, remember.

You're still here, any bells?

You're married me!

How can I forget?

She's a slut!

Please, my wife!

My house, my shop and my business

should be given a place!

Nobody's got a wife like I have.

Nobody!

No!

Right, mistress.

You've had three weeks of fairy-footin' about.

There's more to be in a wife in this house than giving in, body-bondes.

I wouldn't sit down, if I were you.

I'll sit down when I wish.

Will you be God?

Well, let me tell you something.

I can make your life in this house bearable.

Or I can make it hell on earth.

My son can do without you, but he can't do without me.

I run this business, me.

I can learn the business.

Anyone can.

And don't make your son out to be an idiot because he's not.

You cheeky young bugger you.

Well, Fred's got a bull to kill, so I'll be busy in the shop.

If you want to be the mistress, you can do the mistress work.

I'll be busy in the house bearable.

I'll be busy in the house bearable.

I'll be busy in the house bearable.

I'll be busy in the house bearable.

I'll be busy in the house bearable.

Right, madam.

Monda, you do all the laundry.

Tuesday, you're ironing.

Scrub all the floors.

Wednesday, you make your meat pies.

Thursday's bedrooms and brasses.

Friday, you clean the yard.

Monda nettie.

Saturday, you're helping the shop.

That, my girl, is an easy week.

Fred's taking us to chapel.

You're not even dressed.

No, Mrs. Lome.

Sunday, my book is a day of rest.

We've let you off long enough.

You've got to have a religion or it's bad for business.

Fred, are you coming with us?

He'll be at the inn, but the women have to go.

And after chapel, when you go to visit your sister,

you don't want me there.

You have nothing to talk about.

Fred, what do you say?

Fred?

You need your rest, Hannah.

You don't need to go to chapel on my account.

We're late.

Hello, Ned.

Well, it's you.

How are you?

Me?

Never better.

As yourself with the mince and what in place.

What are you looking for?

Lead.

Lead, or?

Well, these days I'm going to open a mine.

I thought you needed money to open a mine.

Just says I haven't got money.

I've spent too many years scratching the living from horses.

Ned, show me your hand.

I'm really sorry.

I would have come earlier.

I just couldn't.

Thanks.

What a devil do you want coming here for?

I've been free of trouble long enough.

It takes me some more.

Oh, that's it.

Walk away.

You bring me to the end of the day.

I'm going to go to the end of the day.

I'm going to go to the end of the day.

You're going to go the other way.

You bring trouble, but when you stay and face it, not you.

I am.

When he saw the butcher's wife, can't stand the sight of fresh blood.

Good beef.

You shifted some work today, Hannah.

I can't believe how you're mucked in.

Good, almighty.

Why don't you pin a meadow on her?

All the women in the village do the same amount of work without their men yapping on about it.

Ma, give credit where it's due.

Well, there's too much for me.

I'm aware.

Hey.

You brought your John and Pansy everything?

No.

Getting married next month.

Not that we'll be invited, mind.

Leave that.

It's not a good time, Fred.

It never is with you.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

Are you, Fred?

I'm well, Tessie.

Oh, hello, Miss.

Tessie, how are you?

I'm fine.

Could I have a word with a thread to think?

Go on.

I won't charge you for it.

Thank you, Fred.

I've got a message for you.

I saw Ned Ridley on my last half day.

Once you'd go up, he wants to see me.

Hi, when you can.

Tell him secrets.

No, no, Fred.

Just chat her.

It's been so long since I last seen Miss Hannah.

She's Mrs. Lorm now.

Of course, I'm sorry, Fred.

Come on, then I'll give you that order.

It's been nice seeing you, Hannah.

Take care.

So Tessie, yesterday, she gave me your message.

You wanted to see me?

I did.

You left me high and dry, much, and off like that.

Yes, well, you didn't give me much choice.

I just wanted to tell you.

Not to worry.

I can live with this.

You're worse off than me.

I live with a devil from hell that day as you know.

I'm sorry you've ended up like that.

I'm sorry.

It's been a bit.

It's always.

It's always.

It's always.

Oh, for Christ sake, they'll make that noise, Hannah.

Yes.

I should have known.

How could you know?

I was a fool not to tell you.

Two stubbornful words.

Oh, but I love you, Hannah.

You brought me up.

You get between me and my wits and I'm never told you.

I didn't know how I felt.

It was too late.

I didn't know what love meant.

I didn't know what love meant.

I didn't know what love meant.

You sure?

Yes.

How many PTs are you spending on that work?

So where are you now?

Well, I appreciate what you have.

I'm about to do what I have.

I've dreamt of it too.

Ever since you told me you loved me.

It's how I survived.

Are you happy, Hannah?

I felt like this in my life.

Don't care what happens to me now.

What do you mean you don't care what happens to you though?

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

Do you wanna be happy?

It'd be so soft.

This is only the beginning for us.

Understand.

It's gonna be difficult.

Do you want to stop?

Hey, Ho?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm just...

Hey, oh, nobody at home.

Eat no drink, no money, have I none.

Have you got to sing about me, I ask?

Nothing. You ever gave me that for sure.

Yet, will I be merry at home?

She's a young bugger, you.

You vicious old bugger, you.

Yet, will I be merry, hey?

Oh, nobody at home.

Eat no drink, no money, have I none.

She says you insulted her.

Well, I've achieved something as she's finally noticed she's being insulted.

I don't want to come over you lately.

You never used to rise to it.

I won't be bullied anymore.

Well, go easy, Anna.

She won't stand for too much.

Well, you'd better tell her to sit down then.

Go on, go.

Everything's very tidy.

Right.

Well, you met now, didn't you?

I've never had a place where I'm away.

And why are you here?

I've known Nell, Anna Husband, for years.

Don't tell me you're jealous.

No, just one.

Tell that to the day.

Don't.

Oh, sorry.

I would leave him, you know.

Just say the word.

He wouldn't let it rest.

We'd have to sell it and start over.

You wouldn't sell the peel house.

Love it too much.

I love you more.

Evening.

Evening, Fred.

Evening, mother.

Oh.

Well.

I'm off to bed then.

I'm off to bed.

I'm off to bed.

No, no, no, no.

I'm off to bed.

I'm off to bed.

I'm off to bed.

I'm off to bed.

I'm off to bed then.

So you've managed it at last, have you?

Well, don't you think your husband's got a right to know?

I'll tell him in my own time.

You're not human, you.

Is it true then?

Why don't you say something?

You're not glad.

Yes, Fred, I am glad.

I won't be touched.

Not until the baby's born.

What do you mean you won't be touched?

It helps feed the bear and every phone knows that.

I'll sleep in the kitchen.

No, they won't.

They'll stay there.

Well, leave me alone then.

I'm surprised you got pregnant in the first place.

What?

I'm wrong.

I'm hungry.

When it started to rain, I thought you wouldn't come.

I had to come...

I'm having a child.

Mine.

Our child, Ned.

I haven't been with him since I came to see you.

That's it.

I better get crying.

solemnandz

I care with those!

I was just sitting here making some plans.

I've set up a train in Welsh Ponies with a farmer over by Geestels.

Now it's a trek and a half, but there'll be money in it.

Did you draw these?

Who else?

And I'm going to property dealer out from Hex and tell me what I get for this place.

Oh come on.

It's a time of celebrating, not regrets.

And maybe without a drop in the house.

Next time, we'll be leaving here together.

I've seen that.

Here, go on.

Oh, you're back.

Yes, madam.

You didn't go to chapel?

No, madam.

Not in this weather.

Hello, Hannah.

I know now why you've changed.

I think I was so proud of you.

So proud of me fancy wife, nobody else had.

I could pull you inside so you filthy whoreing cow.

But I'm gonna be in your shameless bitch!

No!

You've done for her now, you clumsy great ox.

She asked for it.

She's been cheating on me.

Don't just stand there gapping.

You drove it so it.

You and your nagging.

It's you she ran out on your stupid great louse.

Oh, son of a me to belt her.

If anything happens to me, bear, and I'm telling you now, we'll be...

Who's Ben?

I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.

Just promise you'll never see him again.

Suit yourself.

Nice bloody state of affairs.

Might as well be married to a door post.

You should report your mother.

You know she can't manage the car.

No, she's laid up in a loose bubble.

I know the last of the girls will be gone.

I know she's got a little pocket and all her money here back at the bush with a car.

I'll see Molly's gone so fine.

She won't get up to beat the swine but lies in bed till I hit her nine and she'll finish it.

She'll just take a tie.

I'll see cells from the gym and I'll be in a house to hold a day where I'll be great when I'll be out.

Oh, oh.

Anybody laughs at me today?

They'll be going on without the teeth.

Hannah.

Margaret.

Margaret, I'm pleased to see you.

And you.

Good morning.

Good morning, Fred.

Listen, I've got a bit of business to do.

I won't be long.

You stay with me, won't you, Miss Margaret?

Yes, of course.

Let's go and have some tea.

If let's.

Thank you.

So, what's happened?

Fred, knock me down.

You found out I was seeing Ned Ridley.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

You found out I was seeing Ned Ridley.

I love him, Margaret.

I just found out too late.

Well, it looks like we both made a mess of it then.

Mr Hathaway thought I was an heiress.

His love didn't last long after papa's death.

He sent me a polite note and disappeared.

He's still at the school.

Oh, yes.

I went as a temporary help and I'm a liability.

And while selling up,

just taking a tiny housing mortgage with Betsy.

There's no room for me.

I'll always think of you as a sister, Margaret.

And me, you.

I'm only sorry.

I recommended Fred as a brother-in-law.

Okay.

Go away.

I heard it, Mark.

Jet down.

Hey, I'll get down.

No, but please.

She's never been yours.

She's always been mine.

Always will be.

Oh, fuck.

See how you like it.

You're coming home with me.

Dad!

Get off me!

Stop it!

Wait!

Dad!

Stop it!

Wait!

Dad!

Stop it!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, leave me alone!

Sit down!

Sit down!

Sit down!

Come on, go.

Come on, go.

Ma?

Oh, son!

You all right, Ma?

I'm bad.

I've never been off the pot since you left.

I think you've given it to me, too.

Go to some water.

All right.

No.

I'm going to lie down.

See you then.

Go and get Doctor Anderson.

Oh.

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor, it's not in its house.

Oh, it's Ned, he needs help.

Oh, my God, Hannah, what happened to you?

I think he might die.

He's lying in a ditch by the Elindale Road.

I'd kick the daylights out of him.

But it's us to come to the shop, but go to see Ned first, please, or I'll never forgive myself.

All right.

Calm down, child.

Calm down.

Don't worry.

I'll find you.

Thank you.

I know I'm trouble.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

But please don't punish me by taking Ned away.

I know you've washed, but wash again.

Fred and his mother have cholera.

Every part of the house will have to be cleaned.

You must shut the shop and destroy the meat.

All right.

I'll visit every day, but you must do the rest.

Boyly water, don't touch milk, and you should be all right.

Ned's at the Dickinson season of coma.

You ought to stay here.

The shop's in quarantine.

Now we'll look after him.

Wash, Hannah.

Fred, light down.

Fred, light down.

Fred, light down.

Fred, light down.

Still here, Hannah.

Yes, Fred.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Go.

Hannah.

What's up with him?

It's Fevas' worse.

They'll live.

Fetch us some water and parched.

Do you hear?

I need a drink.

The water's boiling.

You'll have to wait.

Tessie, hello, Hannah.

You can't say goodbye, Miss Hannah.

The misses has paid us off.

We're going to the market for the high rings.

Tessie, hello, Hannah.

You can't say goodbye, Miss Hannah.

The misses has paid us off.

We're going to the market for the high rings.

Could you come and stay for a few days to help me?

Stay here.

It's just that I'm at my wits end what we're running up and down with Fred and his mother.

We'd love to stay.

Now don't you worry.

Of course we will.

We'll look after you.

Thank you.

It's your mom.

Fred.

I know you're bad son.

That's why I've written this for you.

Just sign it for me.

Now some do it for your mom.

What's this?

I leave everything to my mother.

You wrote it himself.

This isn't Fred's handwriting.

Where's his signature?

Give it here.

You leave him alone.

You leave him alone.

I'll burn this house down before I let you get it.

Hannah.

Hannah, wake up.

It's dead.

Right.

Once he's laid away you'll be free to go.

And you can take those other two with you.

That's for me to decide.

I still have rights.

Right.

You're due.

Nothing.

I'm his wife.

And with a burn coming?

When I open my mouth about that you would have a leg to stand on.

Leave it.

All right.

Now that it's all over what will you do?

Nothing is settled.

Can't make any plans.

I'm still battling Fred's mother.

Daisy's a stubborn old fool.

Take more than color I'd have seen her off.

I need some advice.

There's no will in she acts as if it's all hers.

Well you've got Fred's papers?

Nothing.

Not even for the shop.

No Mrs. Holmes thought all that.

She must have them then.

If I were you I'd try to get hold of them and show them to a solicitor.

Thank you.

He's dead talking now.

Yes.

He sent us love.

Well Mrs. Lorne, there is a will only it isn't your husband's.

It is the will made by his father.

Oh.

It leaves clear title in the house, shop, all money and contents to Mr. Fred Lorne.

All of which now passes on to you as his wife.

My mother in your house no claim.

Any settlement she gets will be up to you.

In the house?

Will be up to you.

One thing puzzles me.

The bank book contains 435 pounds but the last entry was years ago.

It may be that since old Mr. Lorne's death, any profits from the shop have been kept in the house.

Thank you Mr. Ronson.

Where's me box?

The doctor's ordered would strip the bed and burn the sheets.

And we can't do that way you're still in it.

I'm not leaving this bed.

Well we'll walk you the room until you do.

Me box!

She's got me box.

Me box.

Better be your here.

What's yours is, which isn't much.

The even skates have the police on you.

You can send them to Mr. Ronson, the solicitor at Allen Heads.

He's taking care of things for me.

You might want to apply to him yourself when you've heard what I've decided for you.

You've decided for me!

You shut up and listen.

I can do 150 pounds.

I'm not a blight to give you a penny.

150 pounds is more than a third of what is in the bank.

I take it there's no cash in the house.

The shop hasn't made a profit for years.

Not a penny.

That was a sausage.

150 pounds will allow you to live with your sister.

Or on your own if you wish.

I've arranged for the money to be released immediately.

In condition that you leave this house.

Sticking a cheat.

It's a downright swindle.

And leave quietly.

Stop!

You'll pay for the damage.

Where's my money?

Money.

You've just told me there isn't a penny in the house.

I'm not a penny.

It's Renfry.

It's Barrington.

A handless husband has passed away.

Oh, Margaret, how awful.

She has invited me to live with her.

Would that be difficult?

No, no, my dear.

Stay with her as long as you like.

Of course.

Thank you.

Come on, Margaret.

Come on, Margaret.

Come on, Margaret.

Come on, Margaret.

I'll never see you.

Honey, you look lovely.

I know I don't.

You do to me.

Come to the house.

Honey, we've got a talk.

There'll be some time before I can get on a horse that loan break wanting to be.

I know you don't.

You do to me.

Come to the house.

Honey, we've got a talk.

There'll be some time before I can get on a horse that loan break wanting to be.

I've lost the trail.

I've lost the trail.

I can't support you.

Don't worry.

I've got enough for both of us.

And we live off it.

Off that bastard.

No, I won't.

I wouldn't be right.

I feel...

I feel kept.

And what about us?

There's not much point in me coming back with you, then, is there?

You keep yourself, Ned.

Then you can hold your head high like a fool does.

Is that right?

It's far too ambitious.

It needs to be about half the size of that, Mum.

No, it'll do.

Yeah, we don't want to jump the bubbles through you, Mum.

Why is it there?

Look.

I'm feeling very bad.

If I'm the girl, I want my mother to have everything.

It took to wear what she does for my wife.

If I had a loan.

Don't worry.

I've got enough for both of us.

And we live off it.

Off that bastard.

No, I won't.

Are you happy, Hannah?

I've never felt like this in my life.

I've never felt like this in my life.

I've never felt like this in my life.

I've never felt like this in my life.

I've never felt like this in my life.

I don't care what happens to me now.

This is only the beginning for us.

Understand?

What was that?

Nothing important.

How would you like to live here permanently?

What?

Well, I got the idea from the t-shop at the market.

Let's open one here.

Open a t-shop.

But it's a butcher's?

Used to be, but now I've got the money to change it.

Come on.

Sit down.

It's been a difficult time.

I'm perfectly fine.

Are you really?

Listen, I'm signing it over to all of you,

and you can run it because I won't be staying.

Hannah, what's money for if it can't make us happy?

We have a family party tonight.

We love them!

How are they?

They're so sweet.

How are they?

Very sweet.

Let's go.

What's the matter?

What?

Have fun.

What are they?

What's the matter?

We've got to try and keep all the love.

What else?

We know where to stay free and keep up the Peter synergize.*

And if I don't talk and talk to you I'll give it to you.

How did you talk?

How did you stop?

We bring you something to all of you?

Oh l I'll unload my friends.

The lives are just scary.

I was in this country.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

I'm going to get a little bit of water.

Look.

Get up. Get up.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Well, here I am.

All I have is what you see.

I'm not going to support you, Ned.

I am offering a partnership.

You've come with the right place.

It's a deal.

Oh, Ned.

I love you, Hannah.

I always have.

Please, Thumb, Thumb.

Behold, Good Guy.

I'm going to be a little bit more

I'm going to be a little bit more

I'm going to be a little bit more

I'm going to be a little bit more

I'm going to be a little bit more

I'm going to be a little bit more
