Original subtitles

Do I sense a hint of romance, isn't he?

I could have a no.

Elaine is our little brother about to fall in love with a shotgun.

I thought you worked in the sweet shop.

I do. We own both shops. I served you and your wife the other evening.

She's not my wife. She's my sister.

Fine way to treat your sister!

I can't say father, shut up!

You do that just once, father, and there'll be one less for breakfast tomorrow.

Who are you with? Robbie.

Robbie felt and fathered gulp as Ergy if he knew.

There were a rough lot. Robbie's not.

Get on!

It's gilis first! No fight, say?

I love Maggie and he loves me.

And why would a man have to force himself on his own wife?

Because she's a cold, selfish bitch.

And a vain, mean, silly bitch to my woman is worth ten of you.

She's good to me.

And to a number of others, your fool? She's a whore!

Just as me think about bettering myself.

That's why I want to marry him, Miss. Not just want to, I mean do.

Or do you now? And have you thought about what my father might say?

I leave him alone!

God's knee here! Come with me!

No!

Oh dear God.

She thinks I killed that young fella. She won't even speak to me.

Do you want to know why? Because she loves Robbie.

I'm just going to have his baby.

Oh God almighty! How could she do this to me?

Madness, I want you to go and visit cousin Mary in Durham.

Jessie can stay with her until her time comes.

What is it? What's wrong?

It's my sister.

My earthly dad says that you can't possibly be interested.

I know that I am. Can I help?

It's too late.

That is the path to the church hall. I should meet you there in a few minutes.

Well get on your way.

I'm not Miss Middleton, but whoever she is she has my deepest sympathy.

Back to town please.

Oh well after we at Miss. Their courage is coming down.

And the I was born before public cab.

I want you to leave now.

And don't worry.

You.

How dare you!

You.

Miss Conway!

Miss Conway down here!

Thank you.

Galilee Chapel must have moved.

She's going to go to the church hall.

I'm going to go right now.

I'm going to go to the church hall.

I'm going to go to the church hall.

I'm going to go to the church hall.

I'm going to go to the church hall.

Galilee Chapel must have moved.

No I finished early and I've never been able to resist the river.

So, is your relative going to hell?

No she's not.

Can you tell me what happened?

Word for word.

Did you really make the cab go first?

You're shocked aren't you?

No.

Not since.

I'm not shocked.

I think you would have expected the cab to give way.

My parents would have certainly.

But not me.

So what will you do now about your sister?

I don't know.

Our father has such a terrible temper.

He attacked him.

He almost killed the young man in question.

How?

With a shovel.

My god.

Is the young man really that bad?

No, I don't think so.

Well if they really care about each other, why don't they just go away and get married on the quiet?

Some away your father can't get at them.

Well that's what I thought but it's not so easy.

Yes it is.

They can get a special license.

Is that?

A license to marry.

You get it at the registry office.

Takes a week or two to come through.

But there's her age.

She'd have to have your parents consent.

Out of the question?

If father were even asked.

But he doesn't need to be asked.

All it requires is two signatures on the form.

Any two will do.

Once it's done it's legal.

Your father can't do anything about it.

It can be done.

How it's done doesn't really matter.

It does matter.

It may not seem important to you.

But there's a bigger difference between Robbie Felton's way of life and ours as there is between yours and mine.

Don't say that.

Please don't ever say that.

I'm the daughter of a shopkeeper.

So if you'll excuse me Mr. Farrier.

No I won't excuse you.

Will us go?

Reg waits for Nomar for a lady, yes.

But for Nomar, not even his brother.

Reg?

Charlie?

Agnes? My brother Reginald.

Reg, Miss Agnes Conway.

I'm delighted to meet you Miss Conway.

Charles has told me all about you.

No, I haven't.

I don't even know about Miss Conway yet.

And what have you heard about the family?

We're quite an eccentric, Lord.

You'd like our sister Elaine.

But you met her, didn't you, Miss Conway?

She brought some sweets, I believe.

Do stop talking.

Miss Conway's hardly been able to get a word in.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Miss Conway.

No, don't be.

I've learned a lot about you in the last half hour.

Oh dear.

And what's your verdict, may I ask?

You're a soldier, a captain.

You wear a very smart uniform.

Your sambran belt is impeccable,

and I wonder who cleaned your buttons this morning.

You didn't expect that, did you?

So, who did clean your buttons this morning?

My Batman, of course.

You'd like to tell me I should clean my own buttons,

wouldn't you, Miss Conway?

Heaven's no.

I'm sure you'd make a mess of them.

Now, they're quite wrong.

Our father was a military man.

He made us clean our own boots, didn't he?

All of them.

Best boots, riding boots, the lot.

I did the lot, didn't I, Charles?

Clean your own boots.

You never did a thing if you could get the servants to do it for you.

I hope you realize what you've done, Miss Conway.

You've divided this family.

My brother, who was always on my side,

has turned against me.

Are you a suffragette?

No, I'm not.

I haven't the nerve.

No, that's not true.

I have.

I just do it me own way.

No point in being open with men.

It's not a taxi.

That's a taxi.

That's a taxi.

That's a taxi.

That's a taxi.

That's a taxi.

That's a skeptical young lady.

You probably won't believe me when I say this is the most present afternoon I've spent in a long time.

I've enjoyed this afternoon as well.

For a short time I stepped into another world.

Goodbye, Miss Conway.

So Wayne, can I see you again?

It's been a lovely afternoon.

Please, let's just leave it there.

Why?

It was all set by the river, wasn't it?

No, it was not.

I'll call on you soon.

No, don't do that.

The way things are at home.

Did he miss?

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Well done.

Now you're going to say what do you think?

I'm not.

It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.

It's what I think.

Bad as that.

No.

As good as that.

Careful.

She could pass any test, I'm sure.

But she still works in a shop.

Parliament say yes at a pinch, but you know mother.

You've got a battle on your hands.

Brooke Hall, please.

What about you?

You sorted out your little problem.

So I'm winning cling-like leeches.

Remember that.

Don't hear, miss.

That's right, down here.

Could you wait there, please?

Well, well.

Look what the wind's blowing in.

Have you come to see if he's dead or alive?

I've come to talk to him.

Talk to him.

He's in there now.

He's head still aching like blazers.

Thanks to you and your locked.

Oh, is it? Is it?

Oh, I'm all misagness.

Now, miss.

If you've come to ask my boy to give up your sister, not a chance, she's carrying his

bin and he wants to marry her.

And as for that bugger of her father of yours, he'd have ended up in hospital, too.

Other morgue if my lads had their way.

Ma, I said it's my business. Nobody else's.

I...well...

Would you like a cup of tea?

Yes, I would. Thank you.

Please, sit down.

You look awful.

It's getting better.

I'm so sorry for what happened.

I saw my...how was she?

She's tired of being a prisoner in her room.

Robbie, are you sure about Marion Jess?

Of course I am.

Then I've got a proposition to make.

Apparently, you can get a special license.

The only catch is we need my parents' signatures on it.

Well, at least somebody's signatures. Do you understand?

Oh, I...I understand. Me morgue to good hand.

Well, if you can arrange that side of things, I can get Jesse out of the house.

Ma, we can do it. Miss Agnes has got it all fixed.

Got what fixed?

We need a special license or something.

But me and Jesse can get married.

You know you've got to take her well away with father-confinder, and you'll need money.

I've got a bit put by, and as long as it's a port, I can always get work.

You know you're all right.

You don't take after that bloody old maniac for a start.

Thanks, Miss. You've given me new life. I couldn't see anywhere out.

You're not going.

I've got this foreign tea.

You know, sent it.

Straight off the boat.

Straight off the boat.

Hi.

We have been a talkie long enough.

I'm closing early this evening, and there you have it.

I'm losing money because my little Jesse plays around with one of the scum from the keys.

You have the nerve to pass judgment on for years you've been keeping that woman of yours.

So, what did you say?

Well, first she has to speak to her husband.

Then tomorrow they're leaving for a week's holiday.

She's set you'd right, but it may not be until they get back.

I'll write to her.

No, don't do that.

She's very touchy about you.

Touchy about me?

She's not over fond of you.

Or you.

If we do anything hasty, she's likely to wipe her hands with the whole thing.

We're just to leave it a week or so.

Which won't make that much difference, will it?

Anyway.

I'm tired.

It's been a long day.

Come in.

What happened?

She's gonna take me.

We can forget cousin Mary.

But I've been to see Robbie.

Robbie, you've been to their house.

And we're gonna get you out of here and get you married.

Well, you've always put Jesse first.

And look where it's gone.

Hi.

Aggie's the one.

Aggie's a strong woman.

She's worth ten of Jesse.

I see that now.

Oh, yes.

But you're 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.

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.

I'm not.

But you'll not have changed your will, though, have you?

My will is my business.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

I'll.

Goss- Mr Conway, just ladies gossip.

It's tomorrow, half past 11.

Jessie needs to meet her by 10 past.

Mother doesn't cotton on.

Fucking, I'm so scared.

Are you sure everything will be alright?

Yes.

Don't worry.

Everything's arranged.

It's gonna meet you there at half past 11.

What about mother?

You leave mother to me.

Oh, I shouldn't have taken your top coat out so much.

It makes you look more fargone than you are.

It's not just the coat.

I'm taping the whole wardrobe.

Oh, it'll need some money.

Well, that won't be much use for the things she needs.

You.

Keep your eyes open.

You know what for?

I have some movie scenes in here.

There you go, mother.

Well, I don't think much of these were a stop.

This one's nice.

Oh, mother, I feel sick.

What?

I think I have to go up the ladies.

Where is it?

It's through there, I think.

Thanks, Aggie.

What do you think of this one?

Four pounds?

Four pounds?

That's ridiculous, isn't it?

No, me.

These are sweet.

Let's get the dress fixed first.

That Jessie.

Goodbye.

What can she be doing?

Go and look, goodness.

Mother, I'm not following her to the ladies.

Jessie?

Jessie?

Where is she?

Mother, listen.

What is it?

What's she doing?

Jessie?

Jessie?

Jessie?

Come back.

Mother, call me, sir.

Call me, sir.

Call me, sir.

All the trouble she's called me.

All the shame.

All the disgrace.

And now we've got to go home and tell him what she's done.

A world-teap of foam.

No, Agnes.

He doesn't give toppings for you or me.

It's always her.

And you know why.

Do you want to know why?

Not her mother.

You are not her sister.

She's the daughter of his whore.

That's not true.

It's true.

She's just behaving like that slut of her mother.

Jessie's in love.

In love.

She's reversing that time.

Dear God, you've got out of his mind.

There's a T-shirt.

Let's go and have a cup of tea.

Let's go.

Whatever time we go home,

he'll not get up back.

Come on.

No, it wasn't his club night, lady.

There was his first early on.

She died having his child.

And he brought that baby home.

No, it wasn't his club night, lady.

There was his first early on.

She died having his child.

And he brought that baby home.

And he didn't ask me.

He ordered me to bring it up as my own.

But you're the only one that's my madness.

And somehow, we've never really hit it off.

Oh, it's my fault.

It's all my fault.

I've just lived so long with bitterness.

I'm sorry.

Go on, you're not alone.

I was frightened just now.

Frightened.

Oh, what'd he do?

What'd he say?

About his precious little Jesse running off with a fountain.

But now I think I'll enjoy telling him.

They're at the registry office.

They're probably married by now.

And you helped fix it up.

I don't want to feel like tea.

Let's get home and break the happy news to him.

Come on, we're treating ourselves to a cab.

Gone!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Gone!

Where's Jesse?

Where's he taking her?

We don't know.

She's gone to them, hasn't she?

Now, let's scumb by the keys.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, she'll not do this to me.

I'll put a stop at this before.

It starts!

What does he think he can do?

Agnes, he's got a gun.

A gun?

A revolver?

He keeps it upstairs.

There's a nut here, are there?

Robbie and Jesse.

Thomas, the way.

Couldn't speak to your mother.

My father's out of his mind.

He's coming here.

He's got a gun.

Your father, he's convinced to hear.

Aren't you going to lock the door?

Oh, no.

There'll be no lock many bloody doors here.

Aye.

He's no block.

One good punch and you'll go down.

You've got to get near a fella before you can knock him down.

And if he's got a gun, you could go down first.

But my heart doesn't know where we'll live.

Well, he's just got to ask any copy.

In fact, the whole bloody militia know where we live.

And the door on my infantry, I shouldn't wonder.

And the police.

It's got to be out of my way.

It's here.

Agnes.

Father, the nut here.

Please try to understand.

You.

You and you.

The only one that trusted him, you betrayed me.

Put it on me!

Get the gun, Jimmy! Get the gun!

Put the gun!

Aye!

Aye!

Aye!

Aye!

Aye!

Aye!

Look, it wasn't us.

It just collapsed.

He brought the gun around.

Yeah, all right, lass.

It just grazed you.

The doctor's coming.

What's happening?

Your dad's had a heart attack.

But he's all right.

I'm sorry, love.

He's dead.

Aye!

How wish I could feel sad?

But I can't.

He was such a mean man, your father.

Well, though, you search yourself.

We've had enough bitterness.

We can make a good life for ourselves from now on.

Well, you come.

You'll be quite a wealthy woman, Adnis.

I always frighteningly leave the whole lot to Jesse.

But he must have changed his world just in the last week.

And Jesse deserved to be cut out, but...

Cutting me out, too.

That was mean.

You know I'm going to look after you.

You were there when I saw this solicitor.

You could buy a house.

Live any way you like.

Thanks, Aggie.

I don't want to buy a house.

I'd like us just to go on as we are.

Agnes.

Agnes.

Agnes.

Agnes.

I've been down in culture still with Reg.

Elaine saw it in the paper.

I'm sorry.

I'll come down.

Look at you.

You could have been killed, and it's all my fault.

Your fault, how?

I told you how to help Jesse.

Oh, nonsense.

They would have done it somehow.

It doesn't matter.

It does matter.

Agnes, you must know my true feelings.

Oh, Mr. Farrier.

It's nice to see you again.

Yes, Agnes, take Mr. Farrier to the parlour.

I'll mix him tea.

Thank you, Mrs. Conway.

I'm a working man now.

I have a new contract for the magazine.

I write regularly, I'm paid regularly.

We are not as different as you think.

Really?

Will you carry on working in the shops?

I have to.

My father left me everything.

It's tied me here.

This is my mother's home.

I'm all she has.

Oh, you're...

I'm sorry.

Look at me.

I like you.

I like you very much.

But that's your family.

Can't you guess why I went to the culture store?

To talk to Reg.

I want to marry you.

I'm sorry.

Aggie.

Kim, as soon as we're heard, he nearly killed you.

And all that he didn't.

Jesse, this is Charles Farrier.

I've had a great deal about you, Jesse.

And you must be a Robbie.

Please donate your sir.

Magnus, I love you.

And I promise we'll be together.

No matter what.

No, you can't.

What's going on?

I was just asking if Robbie and I could stay in the guesthouse until he found a job.

I've said no and I may know.

Have you?

And that on my doorstep. Not like that.

Mother, that's enough.

Don't waste your breath, Aggie.

She's only behaving the way she always does.

She's never been a mother to me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You've never been a mother to me.

I didn't know why.

Because you're not my daughter.

Mother shut up.

You were adopted.

He forced you on me.

Stop it!

You were mother was his whore.

So when you behave like a whore, Jesse, we know where you get it from.

Don't speak to her like that.

Don't worry, Robbie.

I've always known she's never loved me.

I've never felt like a daughter.

And now I know why.

But we're still sisters, aren't we, Aggie?

Are half sisters?

Who knows that woman had plenty of others besides you father.

Father, can't you control yourself?

Of course we are, Jesse.

And of course you can stay in the guesthouse.

We don't mean to sponge on you, miss.

We'll pee around like anyone else.

You don't need to until you find a job.

I'll go and give the linen.

Well, obviously I haven't got a choice.

As it's not my house anymore.

So, there it is.

I hope I shall have your blessing.

But I will marry her anyway.

If those are your true feelings, my boy.

Naturally, you were thanked on.

Thank you, Father.

I'm sure you'll like her.

Thank you, Mother.

I'm sure you'll like her.

Thank you, Mother.

A shot girl in the family.

Oh, no, no, thank you.

This must be stopped.

Yes, of course, my dear.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Reg.

I caught the first tray.

Your notes aren't emergent.

Reg.

That will do, child.

Tail-cooked Mr. Reginals here.

Was it want tea?

Yes, ma'am.

What is it? What happened?

It's Charles.

Oh, he's behaving very foolishly.

Some girl.

Some shop girl.

He says he wants to marry her.

And you got me up here because of that.

Well, you're the only one who's met this person.

Elaine saw her.

Talk to her.

Oh, fuck by and sweet.

You apparently took tea with her.

I hope none of our friends saw you with some awful little shopper sister.

She's not in the least bit awful.

She's a highly intelligent young lady.

Very presentable.

Very presentable indeed.

You seem to have been impressed too.

Yes, because she didn't talk about horses, dresses, or about how boring it is to live in the North.

You were impressed.

I was.

And I can understand how Charles feels.

Would you like her as a sister-in-law?

I haven't given it a thought.

Really?

I hope Charles wasn't serious because I could see obstacles ahead.

Obviously, I was right.

You do know that young person was recently involved in some vulgar scandal?

Yes.

Her father objected to his other daughter, knowing Benetha.

Thank you.

The kind of action he took surely says something about the family.

Says something about him.

By the way,

one result is that Agnes Conway has inherited the whole business.

Far from being a shop girl, mother, she's quite a rich woman.

I'm not sure that owning a shop puts one much higher up the social scale.

Reg, you're close to Charles. What shall we do?

Don't alienate him, father.

If he marries her and you don't accept her, you've seen the last of him.

And you don't want that, do you?

I'd say go to see her or have her here.

But let's out of the question.

Mother, she's a pretty strong-minded young lady.

If she feels his family looked down on her, she's quite proud enough to turn Charles down flat.

Come in.

Charlie, it's me.

Any moment now, mother will resort reclining on the sofa.

Be warned.

She's won many battles from that sofa.

It's high time our parents moved out of the last century.

They would take an earthquake to do it. Mother, especially.

Poor dear mother.

A place for everyone and everyone very rigidly in that place.

Well, I won't change.

Until I met Agnes, I never felt at home with women.

I know this was now ridiculous to you, but...

I want to be with her every minute.

Could I be prepared to be estranged from the family?

I can't see that they'll ever accept her here.

Would I be estranged from you?

What do you think?

Then would you do something for me?

You're going back tomorrow.

Yes. Would you call on Agnes?

Let her know you're with us. I'm sure it will help.

Oh, no, let it know.

I don't really know her.

What'd you do? You met her and I felt you liked her.

Reg, why not? She knows. She senses their feelings.

And she's so strong and stubborn.

I'm scared I'll lose her.

Please.

It's just the heavy work at first, but...

If you want to learn, Tommy's the one to teach you.

Now, the money's not much, but it's something to le's a vacancy on the docks.

It's up to you.

Beggars call, be choosers.

Pardon?

I'll take it. Thank you.

When do I start?

Whenever you want.

Do you still hear, sir?

Thank you.

Hello.

Captain Ferrier.

I hope I'm not intruding.

Oh, not at all.

Are you looking for a job?

Well, it depends what you pay.

Captain, this is Mr. Tommy Grant, our sugar boiler.

How'd you do, Tommy?

Please submit your...

And this is Robbie Felton, my brother-in-law.

Robbie?

Can't let them eat you, sir.

If you'd like to come through.

Quite a factory you've got here.

Yes.

And I'm glad you've seen who I am and what I do.

It's quite evident why you're here, Captain, to plead for Charles.

Absolutely not.

My brother complete for himself.

And to put a word in for the family, warning me off.

How about the family, I must be honest.

In any case, it'd be useless to be anything else with you.

That'd be compliment.

My parents live in a different age.

They still believe in God-given privileges.

You understand?

Yes.

And I understand that we're at a married child, so it'd be cut off from his family.

From his parents, yes.

Not from the rest of us.

I don't think you should underestimate Charles either.

He didn't just refuse to go into the army.

He turned down Oxford too.

Then he traveled alone around Europe, educating himself and the things he loves.

And experienced by the way that enabled him to meet and get on with all kinds of different people.

I know that.

I really only came to a place where I was born.

I know that.

I really only came to ask one thing.

Do you love Charles?

Deeply, I mean.

The way he loves you.

Yes, I do.

Then he must simply ignore all the obstacles.

I can find my own way out.

I can find my own way out.

Who is that? The brother?

Came to put you off, did he?

No.

He was quite sympathetic.

And I've made up my mind.

The colonel and his wife can be as hostile as the police.

I'm going to marry their son.

I was thinking of leaving home, mother.

You're going abroad again.

That's a very good idea.

No, mother. I mean to take lodgings in town.

But you have a perfectly good home here.

I want to be independent.

Oh, Charlie, how will you manage?

No servants to cook for you, clean for you.

Mother, I spent two years wandering around Europe on my own,

staying in cheap hotels.

I survived.

I'm sure I'll survive here.

Would you do me one favour?

Would you meet Agnes? Talk to her if only for a few minutes.

I'm sure then you'll understand.

No, dear.

Being the kind of person she is, she would take that as an acceptance.

She's not that kind of person.

She wouldn't.

I'm sorry.

Sir, this is it.

It's done.

It's fine.

You've not been sleeping in these sheets?

Yes, of course.

Charles.

I'll send Nan along with some clean, dry linen.

You're not to spend another night in all sheets.

They're perfectly adequate.

So, why is he living in a place like that?

Says it's to be near me.

I think he takes pride in showing us simply he can live in me.

You've got to get him out of there, Aggie.

I know that, but he won't listen.

They're stupid. That's the trouble with men.

Robbie. Robbie.

Agnes! Agnes!

He's in the right state. I help him up at stairs, but we just keeled over.

Get him into bed. Get him into my room, Robbie.

Come on!

And then come on to me!

Come on!

Come on!

I'm afraid this young man has pneumonia.

Robbie, will he get a cab so he can send her to his parents?

Abba.

Grace, if it's pneumonia, we have to go.

Oh. People of her class always exaggerate. No control.

I'm sure he can't be that bad.

We won't know unless we see him.

Well, if you feel concerned, you go.

I shan't.

I'm sorry.

Lance has his father's here.

Colonel Farrier.

Right.

But she says he's nothing uniform.

Good afternoon, Mr. Farrier.

I'm Agnes Conway.

How did you?

I expect you've been wondering why your son is in my house.

Yes, I have.

Well, he was visiting when he collapsed.

You do know we have an understanding.

Oh.

What kind of understanding?

Charles has asked me to marry him.

And have you accepted?

Yes.

I knew there'd be objections and the fact that your wife isn't here suggests I was right.

My wife is not at all well herself.

You'd like to come this way.

Thank you.

Mr. Farrier, this is my mother.

How'd you do?

Charles.

Charles?

Can you hear me?

It's your father.

Rachel.

I'm on the bridge.

I get a message too, and I promise.

I think he should be in his own home where he can get proper nursing.

Your son has a temperature of 104.

Take him home, my old means if you want a funeral on your hands.

What a...

He can be taken by ambulance.

Well, the responsibility would be yours.

What is the name of the doctor who attended him?

Dr. Bailey is only three streets away. We can give you the address.

Thank you.

I will take his opinion.

You do that.

That young creature dared to say such things to you.

She spoke intelligently like an educated and sensible woman.

And she gave me no quarter.

Grace, I think I must telegraph Reg and Elaine.

Now Hugh, he can't be as bad as that in such a short time.

Pneumonia can develop very rapidly.

He was quite delirious.

I think my dear, you must see him.

Hugh can't ask such a thing.

You have got to bring him home.

That's impossible. The doctor was most emphatic.

Charles must not be moved.

Oh.

Well, perhaps you should telegraph Reginald.

Ask him what he thinks.

For God's sake, woman, why can't you take my word for it?

Charles is seriously ill. Can't you get that through your head?

Hugh, Hugh.

You see, what this girl has done.

I've never heard you use that tone even to the servants.

A dreadful, dreadful, that you should speak to me this way.

Can't you forget yourself for once?

Our son may be dying.

Who'll give you something?

Music

Jesse, someone come at me

Music

My sister will be with you in a moment.

Please, sit down.

Mr and Mrs Farrier here.

She's looking down and all sort of thing.

Is she?

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Miss Conway.

This is my wife.

Good afternoon, Mrs Farrier.

I'm glad you were well enough to come.

How is he?

It's quieter now, but the doctor expects the worst after midnight.

Probably in the early hours of the morning.

We want a guest house nearby.

You're very welcome to stay the night.

I hope that will not be necessary.

But I shall decide what is to be done after I have seen my son.

Mrs Farrier, Charles is very ill.

I don't want him upset.

If you'd like to follow me.

Music

Charles?

Charles, it's Mama.

Music

Charles, you're mother to you.

Music

Oh, Jesse's saying to you very quickly.

I think my son should have a nurse, a trained nurse.

Well, the doctor did assure us we can't manage.

And when we need more help, my daughter here and my son-in-law will take the turn.

Yes, mother. We'll be glad to.

You know, there's no real nursing to be done.

He just needs keeping cool and comfortable.

Music

Oh, that woman.

Mother.

Oh, come on, Addness.

You must be strong for his sake.

Music

Nothing happens to him, mother.

We'll never marry anyone else.

No, it will never is a long time, Les.

A long, long time.

Music

The old, high wind, oh, in the light, is not a dragon,

nor a street, yet there must rest and clean,

and the sea, silent, as of and our hearts are sweet.

And when the tramway down the hill across the corner of these and leaves,

there is no doubt my way to say that you're not overfives and ways.
