00:00:05,194 --> 00:00:07,844
When it was announced that there was
to be a concert in Lark Rise
2
00:00:07,964 --> 00:00:10,160
in honour of Our Squire,
the whole hamlet
3
00:00:10,321 --> 00:00:13,480
was buzzing with talk of what was
to be sung and who was to sing it.
4
00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:25,753
But what should have been
a simple celebration
5
00:00:25,873 --> 00:00:28,501
turned into a furious political quarrel.
6
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:34,116
To celebrate the anniversary
7
00:00:34,515 --> 00:00:37,262
of Our Squire's family being our patrons
8
00:00:37,382 --> 00:00:39,084
for 200 years,
9
00:00:40,432 --> 00:00:41,973
we will sing.
10
00:00:42,347 --> 00:00:45,471
Even those of you with
no voice and no ear.
11
00:00:45,622 --> 00:00:47,535
One, two, three.
12
00:00:47,834 --> 00:00:50,898
0 come ye Tories,
13
00:00:51,018 --> 00:00:52,600
all unite...
14
00:00:53,226 --> 00:00:56,460
My father was a proud man
who liked to call himself
15
00:00:56,713 --> 00:00:59,025
'a Liberal of pronounced views'.
16
00:00:59,145 --> 00:01:01,819
And he did not take kindly
to the idea that he,
17
00:01:01,939 --> 00:01:05,053
or anyone else, should know their place.

21
00:01:47,161 --> 00:01:48,964
Amos, I have found you a maid
22
00:01:49,084 --> 00:01:51,200
with a wonderful testimonial
from the workhouse.
23
00:01:52,096 --> 00:01:54,422
I just don't know how me and my son will
24
00:01:54,542 --> 00:01:56,840
take to having another woman
about the place.
25
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,758
Pa, it's obvious we need
someone to cook and clean.
26
00:01:59,878 --> 00:02:02,800
- That's why I asked Miss Lane.
- You mustn't worry, Amos.
27
00:02:02,961 --> 00:02:05,800
Let yourself enjoy the prospect
of being looked after.
28
00:02:07,131 --> 00:02:10,654
Fine shoes are my one weakness.
29
00:02:12,365 --> 00:02:15,117
- Good afternoon, ladies.
- Good afternoon...
30
00:02:15,943 --> 00:02:19,644
We've brought you some bread,
and some fresh eggs.
31
00:02:20,016 --> 00:02:23,641
That's a kindness, indeed.
Thank you, Miss Ruby, Miss Pearl.
32
00:02:23,761 --> 00:02:25,986
We would like to think
that dear departed Elizabeth
33
00:02:26,106 --> 00:02:28,479
appreciates that we see it as
our neighbourly duty
34
00:02:28,641 --> 00:02:30,216
to care for Amos.
35
00:02:30,336 --> 00:02:33,400
I'm sure that Elizabeth would have
liked to know that Amos was contented.
36
00:02:34,231 --> 00:02:37,576
Though I suspect she would be
deeply distressed at the thought of some
37
00:02:37,696 --> 00:02:40,126
- housekeeper in her kitchen.
- Ladies, please.
38
00:02:40,246 --> 00:02:42,658
Amos no doubt enjoys your attentions.
39
00:02:42,778 --> 00:02:45,731
However, it is not so much someone
to fetch his eggs that he needs,
40
00:02:45,851 --> 00:02:47,360
as someone to cook them.
41
00:02:48,249 --> 00:02:51,593
Well, I do hope that this maid
comes with the best of references.
42
00:02:51,713 --> 00:02:54,465
Patty has an unblemished
record in the workhouse.
43
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040
Miss Lane, I must confess some
surprise that you have decided
44
00:02:58,201 --> 00:03:01,745
a workhouse girl will do
to run Amos's household.
45
00:03:01,865 --> 00:03:03,983
No doubt you will see it as your duty
46
00:03:04,103 --> 00:03:07,424
to monitor Patty's progress
with your usual care and attention.
47
00:03:08,084 --> 00:03:09,280
Good day, ladies.
48
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,902
0 come ye Tories,
49
00:03:18,022 --> 00:03:19,759
all unite
50
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:22,449
To bear the Primrose
51
00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:24,188
badge with might
52
00:03:24,471 --> 00:03:26,799
And work and hope
53
00:03:26,961 --> 00:03:28,710
and strive and fight
54
00:03:28,830 --> 00:03:31,172
And pray may God
55
00:03:31,292 --> 00:03:33,691
defend the right.
56
00:03:33,811 --> 00:03:35,958
What are you doing
singing that old wash?
57
00:03:36,078 --> 00:03:38,311
We're to learn it for the concert.
58
00:03:38,431 --> 00:03:41,297
Well, you've no need to learn it
because my children won't be singing
59
00:03:41,417 --> 00:03:43,183
no Tory marching song.
60
00:03:47,635 --> 00:03:49,314
And Sir Timothy
61
00:03:49,434 --> 00:03:52,400
told me that, since old Chitty
the gamekeeper is sick,
62
00:03:52,713 --> 00:03:55,864
- I'd be running things on the estate.
- The whole estate?
63
00:03:57,098 --> 00:03:59,561
That's quite a responsibility
for an underkeeper.
64
00:03:59,681 --> 00:04:00,880
I mean the grounds.
65
00:04:01,185 --> 00:04:04,067
A lad could do well by impressing
such a respected nobleman.
66
00:04:07,433 --> 00:04:09,758
I don't suppose you'll be
impressing Sir Timothy
67
00:04:09,878 --> 00:04:12,520
by sitting under a tree
with the local postgirl.
68
00:04:12,681 --> 00:04:15,565
Perhaps he isn't the only one
I want to impress.
69
00:04:16,762 --> 00:04:18,606
I wanted to ask you.
70
00:04:19,212 --> 00:04:20,643
Would you...
71
00:04:20,763 --> 00:04:23,257
Sorry to be interrupting
your private parley, but
72
00:04:23,377 --> 00:04:25,760
could you direct me
to Mr Wardup's residence?
73
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,762
I'm going past his shop myself.
I'll show you.
74
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,040
- Have you walked far?
- All the way from Bicester Workhouse.
75
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,770
And I'd gladly have walked it on my chin
for such a chance as this.
76
00:04:38,183 --> 00:04:41,293
You must be Mr Wardup's
new housekeeper, are you?
77
00:04:41,413 --> 00:04:43,054
That's right. I'm Patty.
78
00:04:43,481 --> 00:04:46,240
Can you tell me, Miss,
what kind of a master is he?
79
00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:48,835
Amos is a kind and gentle man.
80
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,839
I always said my better day would
come along, and now here it is.
81
00:04:54,546 --> 00:04:55,633
I'm Laura.
82
00:04:56,318 --> 00:05:00,143
Certainly a handsome young gamekeeper
you've found yourself there, Laura.
83
00:05:00,942 --> 00:05:01,960
Oh, no.
84
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,024
We were just passing the time of day.
85
00:05:04,144 --> 00:05:07,082
Well, you can pass the time
of many more days with him
86
00:05:07,202 --> 00:05:09,181
and your secret's safe with Patty.
87
00:05:18,229 --> 00:05:20,155
It seems very nice here, Laura.
88
00:05:20,733 --> 00:05:23,183
- Lots of shops.
- Yes, there are.
89
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:26,770
Thank you, Laura.
90
00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:29,977
I'm pleased to have you
as my first friend in Candleford.
91
00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:31,422
Good day to you.
92
00:05:35,209 --> 00:05:36,090
Alf!
93
00:05:42,641 --> 00:05:45,998
Oh, Alf, you won't be able
to play in the concert.
94
00:05:46,118 --> 00:05:48,640
I reckon I can whistle good
enough to clear the hall.
95
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,397
But I love to hear you
play your melodeon
96
00:05:51,517 --> 00:05:53,617
more than just about
anything in the world.
97
00:05:53,737 --> 00:05:56,080
Then I'll have to get the money
to get it back.
98
00:05:56,971 --> 00:05:58,938
There's no work in the field today, but
99
00:05:59,058 --> 00:06:00,920
who's to say there won't be
some tomorrow?
100
00:06:01,866 --> 00:06:02,733
Come on.
101
00:06:05,802 --> 00:06:07,880
Pa, what's a Tory?
102
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,609
Father, the children don't even know
the meaning of the words.
103
00:06:11,729 --> 00:06:13,810
What harm can it do to sing it?
104
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:16,910
Reverend knows well what it means.
That's why he teaches it to them.
105
00:06:17,030 --> 00:06:20,320
Shall I fetch your expounding plank
for you to stand on, Robert?
106
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,104
I shall be singing
The Tragical Ballad of Lily Lyle,
107
00:06:24,434 --> 00:06:27,186
sure to bring a tear
to any eye that hears it.
108
00:06:27,613 --> 00:06:30,126
'Twas a still, calm night
109
00:06:30,246 --> 00:06:32,200
And the moon's pale light
110
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,806
Shone over hill and dale.
111
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:38,960
Reverend Ellison says
we must order ourselves
112
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,275
to act lowly and reverently
before my betters.
113
00:06:41,395 --> 00:06:42,482
Did he now?
114
00:06:42,602 --> 00:06:46,277
'Cos it's in the scriptures that
it's a sin to try to change your lot.
115
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,951
I need to practise my trick
where I make my hat vanish
116
00:06:50,071 --> 00:06:52,080
but I can't find the hemmed thing!
117
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,851
I've made up a list
of your duties, Patty.
118
00:06:56,971 --> 00:07:00,360
No need for that, sir. My duties are
all the woman's work of the house.
119
00:07:00,521 --> 00:07:03,960
And if you're anything less than
satisfied, I'll know it before you do.
120
00:07:04,121 --> 00:07:08,120
There's no need for you to be "Sirring"
me, Patty. People call me Old Amos.
121
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,550
And my son here is known as Young Amos.
122
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:18,467
I couldn't call a fine figure
of man like you, "Old", sir.
123
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:21,413
With your permission,
I shall call you Mr Amos.
124
00:07:21,533 --> 00:07:23,559
And I'll call you Master Amos.
125
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,931
It might be more fitting if we decide
how you're to address us.
126
00:07:27,051 --> 00:07:29,514
Then you'll find me obliging,
Young Amos, sir.
127
00:07:29,803 --> 00:07:31,480
As Mr Jarvis used to say,
128
00:07:31,641 --> 00:07:35,120
'The poetry of friendship is not words,
but meanings.'
129
00:07:41,058 --> 00:07:42,310
Timmins,
130
00:07:42,764 --> 00:07:44,209
what's this about you
131
00:07:44,329 --> 00:07:47,883
refusing to let your children sing
the Primrose League Song?
132
00:07:48,003 --> 00:07:51,037
Everyone knows my Liberal views,
Reverend. I can't allow it.
133
00:07:51,157 --> 00:07:53,211
That damned Liberal cause!
134
00:07:54,202 --> 00:07:56,803
Father, please, your heart.
135
00:07:58,051 --> 00:08:00,214
Tell him... Tell him.
136
00:08:00,902 --> 00:08:02,879
Wisdom... infinite wisdom. Tell him.
137
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,342
Mr. Timmins. God, in his infinite wisdom
138
00:08:05,462 --> 00:08:08,843
has appointed a place for every man,
woman and child on His Earth.
139
00:08:09,136 --> 00:08:10,658
Bounden duty...!
140
00:08:10,778 --> 00:08:12,042
Tell him.
141
00:08:12,298 --> 00:08:15,903
And it is our bounden duty
to remain contentedly in his lot.
142
00:08:16,023 --> 00:08:18,537
I beg your pardon, Miss Ellison,
but that's my belief
143
00:08:18,657 --> 00:08:20,319
that a poor person's soul is as good
144
00:08:20,496 --> 00:08:22,770
and their mind as capable
as any rich man's.
145
00:08:22,890 --> 00:08:25,183
If you refuse to back down, Timmins,
146
00:08:25,303 --> 00:08:27,560
- then your children will not...
- Father, please.
147
00:08:27,888 --> 00:08:30,757
If you punish the young'uns
for their father's beliefs,
148
00:08:30,877 --> 00:08:34,510
you only convince me I am right
to teach them to think for themselves.
149
00:08:34,758 --> 00:08:36,526
If they don't sing the song,
150
00:08:37,202 --> 00:08:39,000
they shan't come to the concert.
151
00:08:39,812 --> 00:08:41,480
And I have news for you, sir.
152
00:08:41,763 --> 00:08:45,579
If you insist on using the scriptures to
teach my children to bow at the knee,
153
00:08:45,699 --> 00:08:47,360
I shall not permit them to come.
154
00:08:51,575 --> 00:08:52,772
Miss, miss.
155
00:08:59,246 --> 00:09:00,980
I heard it with my own ears.
156
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,360
The Timmins children,
barred from the concert.
157
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,099
Barred? Oh, what
has my father done now?
158
00:09:06,219 --> 00:09:08,861
I would have liked to have seen
Reverend Ellison's face.
159
00:09:08,981 --> 00:09:10,960
He's bright crimson
at the best of times.
160
00:09:11,407 --> 00:09:13,967
I can't share your amusement, Miss Lane.
161
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:17,679
Not when I've had to stand
before such flagrant blaspheme.
162
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,746
I wonder how poor,
gracious Lady Adelaide
163
00:09:20,866 --> 00:09:23,926
will take such a snub
to our beloved squire?
164
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,880
I suppose we'll find out,
165
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,209
when young Missie takes
his pouch up to The Manor.
166
00:09:34,047 --> 00:09:36,240
The children are performing a dumb show.
167
00:09:36,579 --> 00:09:38,079
King Arthur, I believe.
168
00:09:38,199 --> 00:09:40,983
Their mothers are busy
making the costumes.
169
00:09:41,103 --> 00:09:43,418
Adelaide, I promise you,
you have nothing to fear.
170
00:09:43,538 --> 00:09:47,171
There'll be songs and dancing,
just what you love. Entertainment.
171
00:09:47,291 --> 00:09:49,739
I'm not sure I'd call all that warbling
172
00:09:49,859 --> 00:09:52,073
and those peculiar instruments
entertainment.
173
00:09:52,193 --> 00:09:53,840
But they're doing it for us.
174
00:09:54,574 --> 00:09:58,160
We're expected to sit in a cold,
damp school hall for them?
175
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,226
It all seems rather unnecessary to me.
176
00:10:02,346 --> 00:10:05,705
That's the beauty of it,
they do it for me and I do it for them.
177
00:10:05,955 --> 00:10:08,473
Adelaide, if I was to say
I wanted you there beside me...
178
00:10:08,593 --> 00:10:12,400
I'm sure you'll enjoy it all so much
more without me fidgeting by your side.
179
00:10:12,818 --> 00:10:16,643
When Sunday comes around,
I'm going to have a dreadful chill,
180
00:10:16,763 --> 00:10:19,474
which will mean I must
spend the day in bed.
181
00:10:23,687 --> 00:10:24,527
There.
182
00:10:30,663 --> 00:10:32,383
This pastry's so light,
183
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,347
a little puff of wind
could blow it away.
184
00:10:35,616 --> 00:10:39,511
Your kind compliments know how
to lift a woman's heart, Mr Amos, sir.
185
00:10:41,396 --> 00:10:44,699
I don't think I've ever tasted
a gravy so rich you could
186
00:10:44,819 --> 00:10:47,638
pour it into a glass and call it a wine!
187
00:10:48,684 --> 00:10:51,360
The sun comes through
that window so warmly,
188
00:10:51,657 --> 00:10:54,106
I thought I might
move the table over there
189
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,799
- to enjoy our meals in the light.
- That's a lovely idea, Patty.
190
00:10:57,961 --> 00:11:01,080
This is our house, so we'll decide
where the furniture's to stand.
191
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,778
You mind your tongue, Amos.
Patty's only trying to be conducive.
192
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,503
The most conducive thing
would be to know her place.
193
00:11:07,623 --> 00:11:09,960
I know my place, sir,
and I'm grateful for it.
194
00:11:10,255 --> 00:11:12,760
It's only my gratitude I wish to show.
195
00:11:13,009 --> 00:11:14,560
But there will be time for that.
196
00:11:19,168 --> 00:11:22,160
The parson's an old man
suffering from his years.
197
00:11:22,321 --> 00:11:24,728
We're all suffering from his years.
198
00:11:29,829 --> 00:11:31,640
Oh, come on, Emmie.
199
00:11:33,448 --> 00:11:36,957
- Let's wipe away those tears.
- I'm tired always being different!
200
00:11:37,077 --> 00:11:39,324
I'm only standing by what I believe.
201
00:11:39,444 --> 00:11:43,202
You might call it principle, but what
I see before me is stubborn pride!
202
00:11:43,322 --> 00:11:44,960
And who pays for it?
203
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,574
Your family.
204
00:11:48,473 --> 00:11:52,200
You shall tell the children yourself
there'll be no concert for them.
205
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,202
See how well your pride
fills your belly then.
206
00:11:58,215 --> 00:12:00,857
Look at you with your chin on the table.
207
00:12:00,977 --> 00:12:03,458
Old Monday ain't got
no work on the farm,
208
00:12:03,815 --> 00:12:05,990
so how am I supposed
to get my melodeon back?
209
00:12:07,104 --> 00:12:09,320
There's folks say how
pleasing it would be for me
210
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,689
to play at the concert.
211
00:12:11,047 --> 00:12:12,285
Folks?
212
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,804
That would be little Laura, would it?
213
00:12:15,891 --> 00:12:17,996
Well, you shall have it back.
214
00:12:18,244 --> 00:12:20,102
Something always turns up.
215
00:12:20,222 --> 00:12:22,102
You'll play better
than you've ever played,
216
00:12:22,222 --> 00:12:24,242
you'll cast a spell over little Laura
217
00:12:24,362 --> 00:12:26,327
that no gal could ever resist.
218
00:12:34,312 --> 00:12:36,520
- Morning.
- Good morning, sir.
219
00:12:36,681 --> 00:12:38,800
What a fine day it is to be alive.
220
00:12:39,459 --> 00:12:41,193
How is it with your soul?
221
00:12:42,005 --> 00:12:44,080
Have you found salvation?
222
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,486
I surely have.
223
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,968
I've found the master I hope to serve
for many another fine day.
224
00:12:49,395 --> 00:12:51,240
Then welcome to Candleford.
225
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,945
We shall share
226
00:12:53,234 --> 00:12:56,120
the great priceless treasure
that is His Divine Love.
227
00:13:04,666 --> 00:13:08,299
I see Amos Wardup has
his new housekeeper started.
228
00:13:08,419 --> 00:13:10,951
Now there's a thing.
Yes, there is a thing, Zillah.
229
00:13:11,071 --> 00:13:14,818
- Quite a fortunate thing, I hope.
- That's what I meant, ma'am.
230
00:13:14,938 --> 00:13:16,920
Her name's Patty.
I met her on the lane.
231
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,122
And what did you make of her, Laura?
232
00:13:19,242 --> 00:13:21,475
I was taken with how prettily
she was dressed.
233
00:13:21,595 --> 00:13:23,064
And how nicely spoken she was.
234
00:13:23,184 --> 00:13:27,179
If she's so hoity-toity, what's she
been doing in a workhouse?
235
00:13:27,299 --> 00:13:30,330
There are many good people in the hamlet
find themselves in the workhouse
236
00:13:30,450 --> 00:13:33,080
simply because they're old or infirm or
237
00:13:33,241 --> 00:13:35,666
with no home or no family
to take care of them.
238
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,960
But she's younger and fitter
than me by far, in't she?
239
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,643
I can vouch for her Christian soul,
having passed the time of day with her.
240
00:13:42,763 --> 00:13:46,314
In which case, Thomas, I am reassured
that I have done the correct thing
241
00:13:46,434 --> 00:13:49,200
in fixing Amos up with his
God-fearing housekeeper.
242
00:13:51,369 --> 00:13:54,080
I don't know about making no costumes.
243
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,562
That takes all I've got just
to clothe my little'uns.
244
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,141
Every day I get close to
having another one
245
00:14:00,261 --> 00:14:02,000
that I've got to find dresses for.
246
00:14:02,475 --> 00:14:05,709
Times I think they'll have the dress
off my back and I'll just
247
00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:08,141
black up my unmentionables for modesty.
248
00:14:10,632 --> 00:14:11,840
Good day, ladies.
249
00:14:13,109 --> 00:14:16,687
I have selected a few pieces
I thought might be appropriate.
250
00:14:18,339 --> 00:14:20,560
No, no, no. Yeah.
251
00:14:21,022 --> 00:14:24,146
I shall be singing
The Tragical Ballad of Lily Lyle,
252
00:14:24,266 --> 00:14:27,283
sure to bring a tear
to any eye that hears it.
253
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:31,467
I reckon our needles and thread
might be best used
254
00:14:31,587 --> 00:14:33,732
stitching a few mouths closed
255
00:14:33,852 --> 00:14:35,640
until after the concert's over.
256
00:14:38,183 --> 00:14:40,963
Emma, perhaps you could
speak with Robert,
257
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:43,357
see if there is some
accommodation to be made.
258
00:14:43,477 --> 00:14:44,802
Yes, of course.
259
00:14:45,050 --> 00:14:49,027
I'm all for accommodation if it means
the children get to perform.
260
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,140
Perhaps you could encourage your father
261
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:54,400
to be a little more accommodating,
Miss Ellison.
262
00:14:55,229 --> 00:14:58,119
Accepting reason does not
come easily to my father.
263
00:14:58,461 --> 00:15:01,280
Accepting advice from his daughter
comes even harder.
264
00:15:01,997 --> 00:15:05,052
Now I remember why I thought
it was such a good idea
265
00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:07,149
that my Walter went away to sea.
266
00:15:16,377 --> 00:15:17,629
Morning, all.
267
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,755
You'll see I'm wearing
my Tory rosette, sir.
268
00:15:22,875 --> 00:15:24,102
And proud to be,
269
00:15:24,222 --> 00:15:27,375
especially as the squire
comes into the Post Office.
270
00:15:27,495 --> 00:15:30,440
We understand that you have
a rebellion on your patch, Timothy.
271
00:15:30,770 --> 00:15:32,573
Ah, yes, Reverend Ellison.
272
00:15:32,693 --> 00:15:35,490
I'm not surprised there's
an unfortunate skirmish.
273
00:15:35,917 --> 00:15:39,027
I'm afraid the Reverend speaks down
from his pedestal to all of us.
274
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:40,747
If l may be so bold, sir,
275
00:15:40,989 --> 00:15:42,723
he is divinely appointed.
276
00:15:43,026 --> 00:15:44,911
And if I may be so bold,
277
00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:47,040
even you can't claim that much, Timothy.
278
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:51,089
And what do you make of all this, Laura?
You can speak your mind.
279
00:15:51,209 --> 00:15:53,782
I only wish my father wasn't
so quick with his tongue.
280
00:15:53,902 --> 00:15:55,200
It's only a song.
281
00:15:55,737 --> 00:15:56,906
Only a song?
282
00:15:57,786 --> 00:15:59,465
I suppose I asked for that.
283
00:15:59,585 --> 00:16:02,341
I find that the best way
to unravel the Reverend
284
00:16:02,461 --> 00:16:06,071
is to do it in such a way that he has
no idea he has been unravelled.
285
00:16:06,191 --> 00:16:08,985
Miss Lane was always one
for turning you inside out
286
00:16:09,105 --> 00:16:11,360
before you know it's happened,
Laura, even as a girl.
287
00:16:11,521 --> 00:16:14,229
I remember the first time I met her,
I caught her picking cowslips
288
00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:17,496
in Goldstone Spinney, and I left
feeling that I was the one trespassing.
289
00:16:17,616 --> 00:16:19,478
Timothy, how you rake things up!
290
00:16:19,598 --> 00:16:22,640
It was a footpath your father
ought never to have closed.
291
00:16:24,669 --> 00:16:26,335
Gravy, Miss Lane.
292
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560
And a man could not dream
of a better tasting pastry.
293
00:16:29,786 --> 00:16:32,992
Patty is polite and cheery
with every task and chore.
294
00:16:33,112 --> 00:16:36,640
I don't know howl can thank you both,
Sir Timothy, Miss Lane.
295
00:16:36,801 --> 00:16:38,451
You just have, Amos.
296
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:54,861
Is that a clay pipe
you have there, Patty?
297
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,273
That's a woman's duty to use
whatever means she can find
298
00:16:58,393 --> 00:17:01,190
to pretty herself up.
Would you like to try?
299
00:17:01,521 --> 00:17:04,727
Your young gamekeeper might like
you even more with a few curls.
300
00:17:04,847 --> 00:17:06,782
He's not my young gamekeeper.
301
00:17:06,902 --> 00:17:09,122
Perhaps it's that other
well-built young feller
302
00:17:09,242 --> 00:17:11,420
you were talking to
outside the pawn shop.
303
00:17:11,540 --> 00:17:14,600
You could have your pick of them
if you were to follow Patty's advice.
304
00:17:17,769 --> 00:17:19,984
I best be getting on with my delivery.
305
00:17:21,127 --> 00:17:23,810
A Mrs Pratt to see Mr Wardup.
306
00:17:23,930 --> 00:17:25,379
Do come in, ladies.
307
00:17:25,499 --> 00:17:28,131
If I'd known Mr Amos
was expecting lady visitors,
308
00:17:28,251 --> 00:17:30,278
I'd have laid out his
best pressed shirt for him.
309
00:17:30,398 --> 00:17:33,080
Will you be staying for some tea?
I have the water boiling.
310
00:17:33,241 --> 00:17:35,408
Do you like sponge cake?
It's one of my specialities.
311
00:17:35,528 --> 00:17:37,552
I cracked half a dozen
fresh eggs this morning
312
00:17:37,672 --> 00:17:39,489
and beat them
for more than half an hour.
313
00:17:39,609 --> 00:17:41,440
If I might be so bold as to say,
314
00:17:41,601 --> 00:17:45,064
this is just what Mr Amos needs,
is the company of two fine ladies.
315
00:17:45,424 --> 00:17:49,126
If you'll excuse me, m'ladies, I'll away
and tell Mr Amos he has guests.
316
00:17:51,609 --> 00:17:54,691
Well, she knows how
to address her betters.
317
00:17:55,448 --> 00:17:58,104
Thomas Brown said
she was a devout Christian.
318
00:18:00,164 --> 00:18:02,834
I have asked,
but she feels like a Lark Rise
319
00:18:02,954 --> 00:18:05,880
jamboree is not quite to her taste.
320
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:09,680
Well, you must have presented it
to her in an unfortunate fashion.
321
00:18:10,111 --> 00:18:11,721
It's probably for the best.
322
00:18:11,841 --> 00:18:14,870
Adelaide would only sit there
in front of every jig and polka
323
00:18:14,990 --> 00:18:17,294
practising the art of the extended sigh.
324
00:18:17,414 --> 00:18:21,160
Whereas I'll tap my toes appreciatively
to any meagre offering.
325
00:18:21,321 --> 00:18:22,960
So I'll collect you at five.
326
00:18:23,121 --> 00:18:25,800
I'll be sure to keep the afternoon
free to ready myself.
327
00:18:27,942 --> 00:18:31,080
- Patty seems to be settling in well.
- Yes.
328
00:18:31,478 --> 00:18:33,708
She's making herself indispensable
329
00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:36,640
with her dreamy gravy
and her cheerful gratitude.
330
00:18:36,801 --> 00:18:38,280
But that's perfect, isn't it?
331
00:18:38,707 --> 00:18:39,767
Perfect.
332
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,964
And she's got the house
turned upside down,
333
00:18:44,084 --> 00:18:47,253
polishing and cleaning and waxing
everything that stands still.
334
00:18:47,373 --> 00:18:48,657
I'm glad to hear it.
335
00:18:48,777 --> 00:18:51,646
But what I'm saying is, she's
being like a woman in the house.
336
00:18:51,766 --> 00:18:53,760
Yes, well, she is a woman.
337
00:18:54,363 --> 00:18:56,207
Amos, it may take some getting used to
338
00:18:56,327 --> 00:18:58,416
for you and your father,
having a housekeeper.
339
00:18:58,536 --> 00:18:59,907
It's more than that.
340
00:19:00,027 --> 00:19:03,003
You know the way she speaks
to my father, it's like she likes him.
341
00:19:03,123 --> 00:19:05,080
He's an extremely likeable fellow.
342
00:19:05,241 --> 00:19:07,028
No, what I mean is,
343
00:19:07,148 --> 00:19:09,680
it's like she's after him liking her...
344
00:19:09,997 --> 00:19:13,437
If you'll forgive me, Amos, I think
that perhaps you're overreacting.
345
00:19:13,557 --> 00:19:15,400
Patty's a workhouse girl.
346
00:19:15,561 --> 00:19:17,467
Isn't it simply that
she's glad to the heart
347
00:19:17,587 --> 00:19:20,279
- to find herself in such a good home?
- What I'm saying is,
348
00:19:20,399 --> 00:19:21,960
how do we know who she is?
349
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:25,190
Patty came with an untarnished
record from the workhouse.
350
00:19:25,617 --> 00:19:27,779
I'm sure you'll agree that
you ought to allow her
351
00:19:27,899 --> 00:19:29,456
the opportunity to prove herself.
352
00:19:29,576 --> 00:19:31,328
Wouldn't you agree with that, Zillah?
353
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,957
If you've something to say
about what I've done,
354
00:19:51,077 --> 00:19:53,840
you're as well to say it
while I'm here as when I'm not.
355
00:19:54,494 --> 00:19:56,393
All we were saying is
356
00:19:56,677 --> 00:19:59,869
how we're all subjects of our Queen,
God bless her,
357
00:20:00,186 --> 00:20:03,280
and if there in't proper order,
then there's disorder.
358
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:07,149
I'd be happy for my young'uns
to bow at the knee before Her Majesty,
359
00:20:07,388 --> 00:20:10,195
should she be passing
our little spot in the mud.
360
00:20:10,315 --> 00:20:12,480
The parson's another matter.
361
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,672
That's for us to behave like
362
00:20:15,962 --> 00:20:18,316
beholden subjects, and be thankful
363
00:20:18,436 --> 00:20:20,957
we've got a squire with a feeling heart.
364
00:20:21,077 --> 00:20:23,723
Don't burden his pockets
too tight neither.
365
00:20:23,843 --> 00:20:25,650
I like to keep in with the gentry.
366
00:20:26,054 --> 00:20:29,247
Never see no Liberals bringing us
coals or blankets at Christmas.
367
00:20:29,367 --> 00:20:31,985
I dunno why you can't leave
such things alone, Robert.
368
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:33,953
You're bringing shame down on us all.
369
00:20:34,073 --> 00:20:36,160
That's because you're
a true blue, Mr Paxton.
370
00:20:36,321 --> 00:20:38,939
You'd have every tramp in a ditch
joining the Primrose League
371
00:20:39,059 --> 00:20:40,680
to raise funds for the Tories.
372
00:20:41,994 --> 00:20:44,733
That's all very humorous,
Robert Timmins,
373
00:20:45,008 --> 00:20:46,880
but tell that to your children
374
00:20:47,041 --> 00:20:49,760
when all the other little'uns
are setting out to the concert.
375
00:20:49,921 --> 00:20:52,398
Now, if you don't mind,
376
00:20:53,237 --> 00:20:55,357
I'd rather you kept your own company
377
00:20:55,477 --> 00:20:57,264
and let us peace-loving folk
378
00:20:57,384 --> 00:21:00,491
keep good relations
with the church and the squire.
379
00:21:12,546 --> 00:21:15,037
Laura. You're awake too.
380
00:21:16,193 --> 00:21:18,436
Let's have some milk
and biscuits, shall we?
381
00:21:24,008 --> 00:21:25,095
Ma'am,
382
00:21:25,783 --> 00:21:28,893
how long have Sir Timothy
and Lady Adelaide been married?
383
00:21:29,013 --> 00:21:30,971
Four years and two months.
384
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:34,282
Or something like that.
385
00:21:38,245 --> 00:21:40,880
- Why do you ask?
- Why is it they have no children?
386
00:21:42,539 --> 00:21:43,475
Well,
387
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:45,402
that is a question.
388
00:21:46,998 --> 00:21:49,007
I know that they want children.
389
00:21:49,127 --> 00:21:50,549
Of course they do.
390
00:21:50,865 --> 00:21:52,985
An heir to the Midwinter seat.
391
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,560
But, well,
392
00:21:55,751 --> 00:21:58,448
sometimes these things prove difficult.
393
00:21:59,824 --> 00:22:01,998
What made you think of such a thing?
394
00:22:02,329 --> 00:22:05,063
Sometimes I think
Lady Adelaide looks sad,
395
00:22:05,183 --> 00:22:06,680
even when she's laughing.
396
00:22:08,328 --> 00:22:09,264
Yes,
397
00:22:09,925 --> 00:22:10,902
I see.
398
00:22:15,636 --> 00:22:18,202
Why don't you finish
the biscuits, Laura?
399
00:22:19,743 --> 00:22:21,394
You're home early.
400
00:22:21,936 --> 00:22:25,597
All day long I've had the children's
disappointed faces in my mind.
401
00:22:29,381 --> 00:22:33,372
Suppose you were to speak
with the parson, not to concede,
402
00:22:33,977 --> 00:22:36,826
but to remind him that
our children go to church
403
00:22:37,362 --> 00:22:40,293
and that we all love our Queen
good as any family do.
404
00:22:40,413 --> 00:22:42,040
Don't mention the song,
405
00:22:42,482 --> 00:22:43,472
just...
406
00:22:44,202 --> 00:22:48,000
tell him that we'll let the children
attend his scripture lessons.
407
00:22:48,661 --> 00:22:52,418
Our Laura never missed a one
and it hasn't done her any harm.
408
00:22:53,050 --> 00:22:55,640
No-one could ever say
she doesn't think for herself.
409
00:22:56,794 --> 00:22:57,936
Emmie,
410
00:22:58,362 --> 00:23:00,477
that is exactly what I'd planned to do.
411
00:23:00,597 --> 00:23:01,638
I'm glad.
412
00:23:04,226 --> 00:23:05,547
Because
413
00:23:06,139 --> 00:23:07,909
Miss Ellison has agreed to call in
414
00:23:08,081 --> 00:23:11,275
on us with her father
next time they're in Lark Rise.
415
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:15,480
Which will be tomorrow.
416
00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:27,487
Morning.
417
00:23:27,968 --> 00:23:29,920
I've a parcel to send for Mr Wardup.
418
00:23:30,607 --> 00:23:33,240
You must be Patty. I'm Miss Lane.
419
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,038
I've heard all about you, ma'am.
420
00:23:35,158 --> 00:23:37,928
Thank you for your part
in finding me this position.
421
00:23:38,189 --> 00:23:41,400
Mr Amos is as gentle an employer
as a woman could wish for.
422
00:23:41,561 --> 00:23:43,749
I'm sure you'll get along just fine.
423
00:23:44,596 --> 00:23:46,218
If l may ask, ma'am,
424
00:23:46,338 --> 00:23:48,840
I do wonder if the young master's
taken against me.
425
00:23:49,378 --> 00:23:51,800
Oh, I wouldn't worry about Young Amos.
426
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,480
He always has been a touch awkward
around women.
427
00:23:54,769 --> 00:23:57,232
Having a maid in the house
won't come easy to him.
428
00:23:57,352 --> 00:23:59,076
Well, I shall make the most of it.
429
00:23:59,196 --> 00:24:00,769
Like Mr Jarvis used to say,
430
00:24:00,889 --> 00:24:03,440
'The golden ball rolls to
everyone's feet once in a lifetime.'
431
00:24:03,601 --> 00:24:06,520
Would that be Bernard Jarvis
of Bicester, the furniture dealer?
432
00:24:06,801 --> 00:24:08,320
Rest his soul.
433
00:24:08,714 --> 00:24:10,920
I take it you once worked for him?
434
00:24:11,424 --> 00:24:13,901
I did for a while, yes, ma'am.
435
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:16,639
But he died and, well, that was that.
436
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,375
Could you tell me the cost
of sending a telegram to Bicester?
437
00:24:22,495 --> 00:24:24,935
Three and six pence.
Did you want to send one today?
438
00:24:25,055 --> 00:24:26,765
Miss Lane. How do?
439
00:24:26,885 --> 00:24:29,240
I wonder if l might put
upon your good nature.
440
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,069
The children are so devoted to pleasing
Our Squire with their little show,
441
00:24:33,189 --> 00:24:35,776
might you have some cast-offs,
442
00:24:35,896 --> 00:24:38,721
a dress or two, or a coat perhaps,
443
00:24:38,841 --> 00:24:40,840
that I could cut up
to make their outfits?
444
00:24:41,937 --> 00:24:43,520
I'll see what I can do.
445
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:50,299
T'was a still calm night
446
00:24:50,419 --> 00:24:52,831
and the moon's pale light
447
00:24:53,711 --> 00:24:55,676
Shone over
448
00:24:55,796 --> 00:24:58,239
hill and dale
449
00:24:59,395 --> 00:25:02,425
Her cheeks that once glowed
450
00:25:02,545 --> 00:25:05,184
In the rose tint of health
451
00:25:05,989 --> 00:25:08,535
By the hand of disease
452
00:25:08,655 --> 00:25:10,549
had turned pale...
453
00:25:10,669 --> 00:25:13,960
That's so sorrowful a tune
as I ever heard sung, Queenie.
454
00:25:14,121 --> 00:25:16,598
That ain't out of no penny
song book neither.
455
00:25:16,887 --> 00:25:19,530
That was sung to me at my mother's knee,
456
00:25:20,163 --> 00:25:22,364
and sung to her at her mother's knee.
457
00:25:26,337 --> 00:25:29,475
Ma, why are you making costumes when
Pa says we in't going to the concert?
458
00:25:29,595 --> 00:25:32,021
Your father's going to speak
to the parson,
459
00:25:32,141 --> 00:25:34,280
and then we'll see what's to be done.
460
00:25:35,149 --> 00:25:36,760
Come on, young Edmund.
461
00:25:37,997 --> 00:25:39,480
There's a fine knight.
462
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:40,832
Oh, yes.
463
00:25:43,405 --> 00:25:45,648
Ah, here she comes.
464
00:25:48,803 --> 00:25:50,320
- Here we are, gentlemen.
- Ma'am.
465
00:25:50,661 --> 00:25:52,656
Patty's own queen cakes.
466
00:25:52,776 --> 00:25:55,312
My mouth's watering
from the smell of it.
467
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,566
Just wait till you taste it!
468
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,865
Why, I thought Zillah could cook
better than most, but this,
469
00:26:06,224 --> 00:26:09,224
forgive me, Lord, this is divine!
470
00:26:13,862 --> 00:26:16,001
Only one thing wrong with this cake.
471
00:26:16,297 --> 00:26:17,694
It won't last long!
472
00:26:17,814 --> 00:26:19,689
How did a woman
as can cook like an angel
473
00:26:19,809 --> 00:26:21,876
ever find herself in the workhouse?
474
00:26:22,399 --> 00:26:25,000
I'm not going to start
worrying myself about that now.
475
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,432
One thing's for certain,
a woman who can bake like this
476
00:26:27,552 --> 00:26:30,760
won't go long before some Candleford
feller snaps her up for a wife.
477
00:26:38,775 --> 00:26:41,568
Queen cake is best
while it's still warm, sir.
478
00:26:46,943 --> 00:26:49,360
Why are you so determined to dislike me?
479
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,686
You haven't been here five minutes
and you're already
480
00:26:51,806 --> 00:26:54,680
- treating the house like your own.
- I'm only doing my job, sir,
481
00:26:54,841 --> 00:26:57,760
and enjoying the bit of good fortune
that's been dished up for me.
482
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,532
I'm sick of all these
sweet words and compliments.
483
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:03,748
Well, then I'll tell you a few words
not so soft and kind.
484
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:07,285
Not everyone is the son of a
well-to-do Candleford shoe-maker.
485
00:27:07,405 --> 00:27:10,698
And if you had an idea what it was like
to live a different kind of life,
486
00:27:10,818 --> 00:27:13,600
then maybe you wouldn't be
so suspicious and hard-hearted.
487
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,041
I might be,
488
00:27:15,161 --> 00:27:17,720
if my eyes still didn't believe
what they saw before them.
489
00:27:18,399 --> 00:27:21,040
Am I right in thinking
you don't have a woman, sir?
490
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,787
What business is that of yours?
491
00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:25,192
I could do you the favour
of telling that no woman
492
00:27:25,312 --> 00:27:27,720
would ever want
such a spoilt child as yourself.
493
00:27:27,881 --> 00:27:31,080
Perhaps you see yourself as more
than a housekeeper, is that it?
494
00:27:31,241 --> 00:27:32,635
What do you mean by that?
495
00:27:32,755 --> 00:27:36,480
All your pies and cakes
and smiles don't deceive me.
496
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,720
You're taking my father for an old fool,
497
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,171
just out for what you can get from him.
498
00:27:54,910 --> 00:27:57,167
Let me thank you for coming by, sir.
499
00:27:58,378 --> 00:28:00,162
And let me say that I respect
500
00:28:00,282 --> 00:28:02,680
how you have your beliefs
as much as I have mine.
501
00:28:03,176 --> 00:28:05,917
The hamlet children have all
benefited from your teaching,
502
00:28:06,037 --> 00:28:08,390
my own oldest daughter amongst them.
503
00:28:08,634 --> 00:28:11,331
So, sir, I am willing
to remove my objection
504
00:28:11,451 --> 00:28:14,040
to my children attending
your scripture lessons.
505
00:28:15,088 --> 00:28:16,987
I accept your apology, Timmins.
506
00:28:17,497 --> 00:28:20,703
And since Mr Timmins is making
this accommodation, father.
507
00:28:20,823 --> 00:28:23,480
And since what we all want
is for our children
508
00:28:23,641 --> 00:28:26,744
to perform their pageant
of King Arthur for Our Squire.
509
00:28:27,001 --> 00:28:28,790
Timmins, answer me this -
510
00:28:29,616 --> 00:28:33,318
are you telling me that if you're right
about how the world should work,
511
00:28:33,677 --> 00:28:35,287
Sir Timothy could
512
00:28:35,575 --> 00:28:37,323
cut a straight furrow or
513
00:28:37,532 --> 00:28:39,520
thatch a rick expertly?
514
00:28:40,081 --> 00:28:42,960
I hope he never has occasion
to find that out, sir.
515
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,626
Or could Twister Turrell
sit on the bench of Magistrates?
516
00:28:46,929 --> 00:28:50,617
That depends upon whether you want
a sound judgement or not, Reverend.
517
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,280
So, each man to know his lot?
518
00:28:54,476 --> 00:28:58,192
And to show a fitting respect
for his superiors
519
00:28:58,481 --> 00:29:00,400
by the singing of the song.
520
00:29:00,724 --> 00:29:04,000
I am happy for my young'uns
to sing the praises of God,
521
00:29:04,515 --> 00:29:06,455
the Queen, Our Squire,
522
00:29:07,074 --> 00:29:10,800
but they will never sing
the praises of the Tories.
523
00:29:10,961 --> 00:29:13,556
Then the concert
shall go ahead without them.
524
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:14,840
Come.
525
00:29:28,577 --> 00:29:30,050
You like them, Patty?
526
00:29:30,170 --> 00:29:33,366
I never seen such beautiful
lace gloves before.
527
00:29:34,288 --> 00:29:35,912
Then you shall have them.
528
00:29:36,316 --> 00:29:37,472
Oh, no, sir.
529
00:29:38,173 --> 00:29:39,520
No, sir, you mustn't.
530
00:29:44,311 --> 00:29:46,520
Ruby. Miss Pearl.
531
00:29:46,857 --> 00:29:48,041
Why, Amos,
532
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:50,600
I don't believe we've had
the pleasure of seeing you
533
00:29:50,761 --> 00:29:52,747
in here since dear Elizabeth
was with us.
534
00:29:52,867 --> 00:29:56,560
And what is it that brings you
calling on us today, Amos?
535
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,101
Well, Patty here has taken a fancy
536
00:29:59,221 --> 00:30:01,760
to a pair of fine lace gloves
in your window
537
00:30:02,084 --> 00:30:04,919
and it's going to be my delight
to purchase them for her.
538
00:30:05,497 --> 00:30:07,479
Forgive us, we had not envisaged
539
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,840
that such exquisite gloves might
end up on hands that scrub floors.
540
00:30:21,639 --> 00:30:22,534
Mr Amos,
541
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,760
I only accept these gloves
if you'll agree to me paying
542
00:30:25,921 --> 00:30:28,580
- for them each week out my allowance.
- We shall see about that.
543
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:31,872
Just enjoy the beauty of them
on your pretty hands, Patty.
544
00:30:32,975 --> 00:30:34,365
If you ask me, ma'am,
545
00:30:34,485 --> 00:30:38,409
there's a gal who knows how to wrap
more than a fine glove round her finger.
546
00:30:49,125 --> 00:30:52,579
I'm to be King Arthur's maid servant
in the dumb show, Pa.
547
00:30:52,916 --> 00:30:54,560
Ma made my costume for me.
548
00:30:56,838 --> 00:30:59,720
Well, there's something
to put in your eyes and look at.
549
00:31:00,883 --> 00:31:03,663
But I reckon you won't be needing it,
my little chick.
550
00:31:03,783 --> 00:31:06,480
Ma said you were going
to make it right with Reverend Ellison.
551
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,160
We can't have everything we want
in life. It wouldn't be good for us.
552
00:31:10,321 --> 00:31:13,378
I just want to be King Arthur!
Why can't you let me?
553
00:31:22,589 --> 00:31:25,369
I never had shoes made
specially for me before.
554
00:31:25,489 --> 00:31:28,342
These will feel like
silk slippers on your feet.
555
00:31:29,401 --> 00:31:32,200
Can I ask you, Patty, how you came
to be in the workhouse?
556
00:31:32,617 --> 00:31:36,250
I was no more than six and my parents
were both lost to the typhoid.
557
00:31:36,731 --> 00:31:38,837
I had no relatives could take me in.
558
00:31:39,291 --> 00:31:41,998
But the cooking and the baking,
where did you learn that?
559
00:31:42,118 --> 00:31:44,200
I went into service as a young woman.
560
00:31:46,765 --> 00:31:48,154
What is it, Patty?
561
00:31:49,539 --> 00:31:52,442
This isn't right, me and you like this.
562
00:31:53,172 --> 00:31:55,463
What could something so sweet be wrong?
563
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,197
You don't want to go getting yourself
tangled up with a workhouse girl.
564
00:32:00,317 --> 00:32:02,742
Go and find yourself
some nice local wife.
565
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,219
No, I've lived in this town
all of my life
566
00:32:05,339 --> 00:32:08,233
and nobody makes me feel the way you do.
567
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,029
No. It's wrong.
568
00:32:11,414 --> 00:32:13,079
- We must stop.
- Patty,
569
00:32:13,199 --> 00:32:17,180
I'm sorry for what I said the other day
about you taking Pa for an old fool.
570
00:32:17,595 --> 00:32:19,280
I know better than that now.
571
00:32:20,664 --> 00:32:22,360
I want you to be mine.
572
00:32:23,512 --> 00:32:25,590
Do you understand what I am saying?
573
00:32:25,934 --> 00:32:28,962
You've no idea how much
I've longed for this feeling.
574
00:32:34,397 --> 00:32:36,480
Patty, may I might borrow your clay...?
575
00:32:43,026 --> 00:32:45,406
Laura! Laura!
576
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,041
- I thought you were making costumes.
- Well, I ain't.
577
00:32:53,161 --> 00:32:56,453
These dresses is too good
for children's costumes.
578
00:32:56,573 --> 00:32:58,841
What I have here is going to help my boy
579
00:32:58,961 --> 00:33:01,280
play a tune can melt
a young girl's heart.
580
00:33:02,102 --> 00:33:05,320
I know someone who'll pay
good money for these.
581
00:33:05,922 --> 00:33:08,240
Young Alf, can I borrow your hat?
582
00:33:08,401 --> 00:33:10,280
My trick for Our Squire...
583
00:33:10,441 --> 00:33:12,603
- the one where I make
my hat disappear -
584
00:33:12,723 --> 00:33:14,280
it ain't anywhere to be found.
585
00:33:32,170 --> 00:33:34,096
You might look glad to see me.
586
00:33:36,250 --> 00:33:38,465
How do you know when you know someone?
587
00:33:38,727 --> 00:33:40,819
Well, you just know them.
588
00:33:41,479 --> 00:33:44,053
- Like I met you, and now...
- No.
589
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:45,080
I mean
590
00:33:46,077 --> 00:33:48,760
if a person tells you
something so beautiful...
591
00:33:49,297 --> 00:33:52,159
'The poetry of friendship
is not words but meaning',
592
00:33:52,476 --> 00:33:54,639
so you believe them to be a true soul.
593
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,329
Laura, have I done anything?
594
00:33:56,449 --> 00:33:58,498
Then they're not who you think they are.
595
00:33:58,618 --> 00:34:01,520
I am who you think I am.
Least I think I am.
596
00:34:02,051 --> 00:34:05,106
- Who do you think I am?
- They use tricks to trap someone.
597
00:34:05,226 --> 00:34:07,960
'A woman's duty to use
whatever means she can.'
598
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:10,480
I only came to ask you to the concert.
599
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,108
Why do people have to be so complicated?
600
00:34:13,761 --> 00:34:15,800
So will you go to the concert with me?
601
00:34:16,885 --> 00:34:19,128
Perhaps I'll ask you another time.
602
00:34:19,665 --> 00:34:21,440
Should I have a little hope?
603
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,807
I'll be back before this evening,
Matthew.
604
00:34:25,927 --> 00:34:27,349
Dorcas.
605
00:34:27,913 --> 00:34:30,183
Unusual of you
to ride out in the afternoon.
606
00:34:31,202 --> 00:34:33,680
I'm afraid I must take off
on a matter of some importance.
607
00:34:34,395 --> 00:34:36,167
And since you're here,
608
00:34:36,287 --> 00:34:37,897
I'm sorry to tell you, but,
609
00:34:38,017 --> 00:34:40,993
as much as I'm sure
I would enjoy the entertainment,
610
00:34:41,113 --> 00:34:43,640
I'm otherwise engaged on Sunday evening.
611
00:34:43,801 --> 00:34:45,190
Engaged in what?
612
00:34:45,509 --> 00:34:47,808
Engaged, Timothy, in living my life,
613
00:34:48,220 --> 00:34:50,821
much as you might find that
impossible to believe.
614
00:34:51,647 --> 00:34:52,600
I'm sorry,
615
00:34:53,216 --> 00:34:56,753
but I'm simply not available
to accompany you to the concert.
616
00:35:07,921 --> 00:35:11,120
Your Ladyship has such a shapely figure.
617
00:35:12,146 --> 00:35:14,880
You could wear a dish cloth
and still look glamorous.
618
00:35:16,811 --> 00:35:19,283
Not that your Ladyship has ever worn
619
00:35:19,403 --> 00:35:21,297
anything remotely resembling
a dish cloth.
620
00:35:21,417 --> 00:35:25,089
May I say, ma'am, what a
fine example Sir Timothy is,
621
00:35:25,209 --> 00:35:27,360
subjecting himself
to this vulgar performance.
622
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,676
His dedication to his duty
moves the heart.
623
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:33,292
But of course it is
entirely understandable
624
00:35:33,412 --> 00:35:35,613
that your Ladyship
chooses not to attend.
625
00:35:35,733 --> 00:35:38,095
No, of course. Entirely understandable
626
00:35:38,215 --> 00:35:39,811
and indeed advisable.
627
00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:43,640
Miss Lane
628
00:35:43,926 --> 00:35:47,614
will no doubt present herself
as Saint Dorcas of Candleford,
629
00:35:48,004 --> 00:35:51,004
accompanying Sir Timothy
in your absence.
630
00:35:51,124 --> 00:35:52,339
Yes, of course.
631
00:35:53,437 --> 00:35:57,120
I do so appreciate Dorcas's
dependability on domestic chores.
632
00:35:59,321 --> 00:36:00,339
So...
633
00:36:00,669 --> 00:36:02,830
No, I don't think so.
634
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,918
It seems that Patty
came into the workhouse
635
00:36:08,038 --> 00:36:10,354
because she left her last employment
with no reference,
636
00:36:10,474 --> 00:36:12,212
so couldn't find a position.
637
00:36:12,332 --> 00:36:14,551
I thought it was simply
that old Jarvis died.
638
00:36:14,671 --> 00:36:17,808
Yes, but his children refused
to provide Patty with a testimonial
639
00:36:17,928 --> 00:36:19,182
and they won't say why.
640
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:21,423
I went to see them
and they were greatly reluctant
641
00:36:21,543 --> 00:36:23,451
and embarrassed to talk about it.
642
00:36:23,571 --> 00:36:25,910
But her record at the workhouse
is exemplary,
643
00:36:26,089 --> 00:36:28,848
hardworking, popular,
a model of honesty.
644
00:36:29,178 --> 00:36:32,798
Timothy, I saw Patty with Old Amos,
645
00:36:33,103 --> 00:36:34,989
and he bought her some gloves.
646
00:36:35,457 --> 00:36:38,484
It made me wonder if his son
might be right about her.
647
00:36:38,604 --> 00:36:40,680
You think she might
have beguiled Old Amos?
648
00:36:41,380 --> 00:36:44,219
And I was the one who pressed him
into taking on a housekeeper
649
00:36:44,339 --> 00:36:45,676
from the workhouse.
650
00:36:45,796 --> 00:36:48,429
So if she is leading him on
and l say nothing to him...
651
00:36:48,549 --> 00:36:50,373
Perhaps we should go
and talk to him now.
652
00:36:50,493 --> 00:36:53,438
The trouble is,
she may be just as she seems,
653
00:36:53,672 --> 00:36:56,149
a big-hearted woman with no harm in her,
654
00:36:56,269 --> 00:36:59,796
and I'd be sending her back
to an intolerable life in the workhouse.
655
00:37:07,751 --> 00:37:08,680
Dorcas...
656
00:37:10,833 --> 00:37:13,200
please reconsider your decision.
657
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,005
The concert...
658
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,840
You can't persuade Adelaide
to accompany you?
659
00:37:18,666 --> 00:37:22,017
Well, I can't say I've tried, really.
660
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,600
I'd much prefer to have you
there with me...
661
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,318
Your company, I mean,
the way you can talk to the villagers.
662
00:37:27,438 --> 00:37:28,872
I think you should stop now,
663
00:37:28,992 --> 00:37:31,530
before you tell me you're impressed
with my polite applause.
664
00:37:31,650 --> 00:37:33,850
Dorcas, I have no right to ask you.
665
00:37:33,970 --> 00:37:37,813
But I am, for no other reason
than I want you to be there with me.
666
00:37:37,933 --> 00:37:38,960
Selfish, yes.
667
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,705
But I refuse to apologise for something
that I know will give us both such joy.
668
00:37:43,531 --> 00:37:45,365
I know how much you love
these local events,
669
00:37:45,485 --> 00:37:49,173
and if I thought you'd miss it because
of my gift for causing offence...
670
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,920
Timothy, you do make such a fuss.
671
00:37:52,343 --> 00:37:54,820
I have every intention
of going to the concert,
672
00:37:54,940 --> 00:37:57,637
and I would be delighted
to accompany you.
673
00:37:58,201 --> 00:38:00,280
I will expect your carriage at five.
674
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,024
As for Patty, I will
675
00:38:04,144 --> 00:38:05,740
sleep on it for tonight.
676
00:38:06,015 --> 00:38:07,529
There's no hurry.
677
00:38:09,029 --> 00:38:11,901
I know Patty hasn't been
with us long, but
678
00:38:12,021 --> 00:38:14,529
what a blessing she's turned out
to be, Miss Lane.
679
00:38:14,649 --> 00:38:17,401
Since you're here, Amos,
perhaps I should say,
680
00:38:17,521 --> 00:38:20,236
although Patty had an excellent
record in the workhouse,
681
00:38:20,356 --> 00:38:22,337
we knew little of her life before that.
682
00:38:22,457 --> 00:38:25,033
Well, we needn't worry about
her previous misfortunes,
683
00:38:25,153 --> 00:38:27,097
seeing as she's settled in so well.
684
00:38:27,217 --> 00:38:29,868
And that's all thanks to you
for finding her.
685
00:38:30,157 --> 00:38:31,368
The things is, Amos,
686
00:38:31,488 --> 00:38:34,736
I couldn't help noticing that you'd
bought her a fine pair of lace gloves.
687
00:38:34,856 --> 00:38:35,782
Dorcas,
688
00:38:36,332 --> 00:38:39,313
what would you consider
a respectable time after
689
00:38:39,433 --> 00:38:42,000
Elizabeth's death
for me to put up the banns?
690
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,040
Why? Who are you thinking of marrying?
691
00:38:45,328 --> 00:38:46,960
Patty, of course.
692
00:38:47,309 --> 00:38:49,600
Elizabeth's been gone 18 months now.
693
00:38:50,144 --> 00:38:53,600
Do you think townsfolk would find me
impatient if I put up the banns now?
694
00:38:54,245 --> 00:38:56,158
It is rather sudden, isn't it?
695
00:38:56,577 --> 00:38:58,324
You hardly know her at all.
696
00:38:58,779 --> 00:39:01,737
- As I was saying...
- I've seen all I need to know.
697
00:39:02,013 --> 00:39:04,834
She's a real catch. I've fallen for her.
698
00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:08,563
I can see how a man might be captivated
699
00:39:08,683 --> 00:39:10,710
by a woman as engaging as she is,
700
00:39:11,184 --> 00:39:14,535
but I feel certain that it would be wise
if you were to take some more time
701
00:39:14,655 --> 00:39:17,260
- to get to know more about her.
- There's no time.
702
00:39:17,380 --> 00:39:19,160
It's a matter of the heart, you see.
703
00:39:19,596 --> 00:39:21,480
And does Patty feel the same way?
704
00:39:21,797 --> 00:39:25,086
Well, I get the impression
that she cares for me.
705
00:39:26,105 --> 00:39:28,480
We haven't talked about love yet.
706
00:39:31,954 --> 00:39:35,119
What are you looking
so discomposed about, gal?
707
00:39:38,130 --> 00:39:41,160
I have something I must tell Miss Lane,
but I don't know if I should.
708
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,662
Well, perhaps if you'd
tell me what it was,
709
00:39:43,782 --> 00:39:46,442
I could advise you whether
to advise Miss Lane.
710
00:39:46,562 --> 00:39:48,280
I saw something that shouldn't be.
711
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Well, could you describe
exactly what it was,
712
00:39:52,241 --> 00:39:54,240
- and then I could...
- Miss Lane ought to know.
713
00:39:54,682 --> 00:39:56,610
Miss Lane cannot be disturbed.
714
00:39:56,730 --> 00:39:59,677
She's in her private quarters
talking to Old Amos.
715
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,870
If you were just to give me
the ins and outs...
716
00:40:02,990 --> 00:40:04,521
Old Amos?
717
00:40:05,411 --> 00:40:06,897
Oh, no.
718
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,142
Amos, I implore you not to hurry
into a marriage proposal
719
00:40:14,262 --> 00:40:16,480
when there are things
that need to be discussed.
720
00:40:16,641 --> 00:40:17,972
You're right, Dorcas.
721
00:40:18,329 --> 00:40:21,761
If I find out how she feels, then
I'll know how quickly I have to act.
722
00:40:21,881 --> 00:40:22,893
Amos, please...
723
00:40:23,013 --> 00:40:26,946
I must ask her if she keeps
affections for me as I do for her.
724
00:40:37,212 --> 00:40:38,863
- Timothy...
- Hm?
725
00:40:39,234 --> 00:40:42,320
I've decided I should come
with you to the concert.
726
00:40:45,771 --> 00:40:47,271
Good. That's...
727
00:40:48,957 --> 00:40:51,393
No, that's wonderful. Um...
728
00:40:51,923 --> 00:40:54,320
You've suddenly developed a taste for
729
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,424
warbling voices and dubious comic turns?
730
00:40:57,727 --> 00:41:00,080
You have enough troubles
with this event and
731
00:41:00,603 --> 00:41:02,680
you don't need me adding to them.
732
00:41:03,356 --> 00:41:04,498
Adelaide,
733
00:41:04,856 --> 00:41:08,654
I'm grateful and glad for your
change of heart, but
734
00:41:08,943 --> 00:41:12,067
I'm not entirely convinced.
Come on, the truth.
735
00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:15,290
The truth is,
736
00:41:16,529 --> 00:41:17,600
I'm nervous
737
00:41:18,579 --> 00:41:19,845
and I'm afraid.
738
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,749
I don't know how to speak
to these people.
739
00:41:22,869 --> 00:41:26,419
I fear that I will sit there with a sour
face and they will all resent me.
740
00:41:26,539 --> 00:41:29,612
My dear, you could no more be sour
than a flower could be ugly.
741
00:41:29,732 --> 00:41:32,354
If you simply take your place
and nod and smile,
742
00:41:32,474 --> 00:41:35,520
they will love you from one end
of the county to the next.
743
00:41:35,681 --> 00:41:36,578
Well,
744
00:41:36,837 --> 00:41:39,176
I shall be holding on tight
745
00:41:39,376 --> 00:41:41,218
to you just in case.
746
00:41:54,548 --> 00:41:55,662
Patty,
747
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:58,635
now that we
748
00:41:58,755 --> 00:42:01,838
seem to be getting on
so well here, I see no reason
749
00:42:01,958 --> 00:42:05,058
why you and I shouldn't
make the most of this opportunity.
750
00:42:05,448 --> 00:42:06,728
What do you say?
751
00:42:06,848 --> 00:42:09,040
If you're saying you'd like
to keep me on, sir?
752
00:42:09,201 --> 00:42:11,146
I'm saying more than that, Patty.
753
00:42:11,627 --> 00:42:13,280
I'm saying we should get wed.
754
00:42:14,655 --> 00:42:16,843
You'll find me congenial.
755
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,214
My Elizabeth enjoyed life's comforts.
756
00:42:20,847 --> 00:42:21,960
What do you say?
757
00:42:23,077 --> 00:42:24,907
I don't know what to say, sir.
758
00:42:25,488 --> 00:42:27,380
I thought you'd be grateful...
759
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:29,678
I'm a man of some standing here.
760
00:42:29,912 --> 00:42:33,176
I am grateful, sir.
But it's not so simple.
761
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,108
What could be more simple?
762
00:42:35,228 --> 00:42:39,106
Any woman from the workhouse would
grab at such a chance of a new life.
763
00:42:39,563 --> 00:42:41,710
I'm sure they would, sir. But not me.
764
00:42:42,178 --> 00:42:44,840
I'm afraid I shall have
to decline your offer, sir.
765
00:42:46,510 --> 00:42:48,520
What do you mean, decline?
766
00:42:52,331 --> 00:42:55,120
Well, speak out, woman...
what could possibly be the reason?
767
00:42:56,454 --> 00:42:58,240
I love another man, sir.
768
00:43:01,037 --> 00:43:02,440
No, you can't.
769
00:43:03,115 --> 00:43:04,615
It's not possible.
770
00:43:05,262 --> 00:43:08,120
Who is it? Some young fellow
from the workhouse?
771
00:43:08,936 --> 00:43:10,000
It's me.
772
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,542
It's me that Patty's talking about, Pa.
773
00:43:19,307 --> 00:43:20,765
I see it now.
774
00:43:21,921 --> 00:43:23,160
That's quick work.
775
00:43:23,752 --> 00:43:25,280
Under my own roof.
776
00:43:25,656 --> 00:43:27,760
Casting your spell
with your womanly ways.
777
00:43:28,050 --> 00:43:31,160
Pa, I didn't know there could be
such happiness as I've found with Patty.
778
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,611
Well, I shan't have it!
779
00:43:32,731 --> 00:43:33,926
You hear me?!
780
00:43:34,046 --> 00:43:36,040
In my own house! I shan't have it!
781
00:43:41,299 --> 00:43:44,436
I feel as though I've betrayed
Patty's trust in telling you...
782
00:43:44,794 --> 00:43:46,404
But you hardly know her.
783
00:43:46,524 --> 00:43:49,060
You have no special bond
of mutual trust.
784
00:43:49,180 --> 00:43:51,097
She's been so kind to me.
785
00:43:51,611 --> 00:43:52,840
She's on her own here.
786
00:43:53,180 --> 00:43:57,088
Well, I'm glad that you confide in me
with your worries and secrets, Laura.
787
00:43:57,336 --> 00:43:59,840
It's a merry kettle of heartache
over the road.
788
00:44:00,212 --> 00:44:02,620
But I shall do nothing.
I shall wait.
789
00:44:03,309 --> 00:44:07,052
I have interfered in the lives
of our neighbours enough already.
790
00:44:07,671 --> 00:44:10,107
Let that be a lesson to you,
Dorcas Lane!
791
00:44:10,666 --> 00:44:14,560
I do not know what's best for
everyone's lives here in Candleford.
792
00:44:15,303 --> 00:44:17,725
It is my intention from this day forward
793
00:44:17,845 --> 00:44:20,725
to improve and regulate
no-one but myself.
794
00:44:35,505 --> 00:44:36,578
Miss Lane.
795
00:44:37,198 --> 00:44:38,271
Timothy.
796
00:44:42,933 --> 00:44:46,318
I need to speak with you concerning
our arrangements for Sunday evening.
797
00:44:46,438 --> 00:44:47,556
Of course.
798
00:44:47,676 --> 00:44:50,400
But first we have some visitors
who would like to speak with you
799
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,079
about Sunday evening.
800
00:44:54,199 --> 00:44:56,855
All they're all fine dresses,
good as new...
801
00:45:07,678 --> 00:45:11,160
- The trouble is, my father...
- And my husband are, well...
802
00:45:11,545 --> 00:45:12,572
Intractable.
803
00:45:12,692 --> 00:45:14,402
And since the concert is in your honour.
804
00:45:14,522 --> 00:45:17,084
- And in my name.
- We thought you might see a way
805
00:45:17,204 --> 00:45:18,796
- out of this...
- Impasse
806
00:45:18,916 --> 00:45:20,560
- Deadlock.
- Hell.
807
00:45:21,895 --> 00:45:23,947
It does seem to throw a shadow
808
00:45:24,067 --> 00:45:26,483
over what ought to be
a celebration for all of us.
809
00:45:26,603 --> 00:45:30,387
I can't undermine Reverend Ellison.
He's only doing his best to please me.
810
00:45:30,507 --> 00:45:32,400
I can't humiliate Mr Timmins,
811
00:45:32,561 --> 00:45:35,338
who is, after all, only exercising
his right to hold his own views.
812
00:45:35,458 --> 00:45:38,040
And the children simply want
to join in the festivities.
813
00:45:38,201 --> 00:45:41,752
But there will be a way
to overcome this stalemate,
814
00:45:41,872 --> 00:45:44,667
and I will find it.
Leave it with me, ladies.
815
00:45:45,355 --> 00:45:47,185
Thank you, Sir Timothy.
816
00:45:59,115 --> 00:46:01,275
You wanted to speak with me, Timothy.
817
00:46:04,085 --> 00:46:07,320
Adelaide feels that she would be
818
00:46:07,481 --> 00:46:09,360
letting me down if
819
00:46:09,521 --> 00:46:11,571
she wasn't there with me
820
00:46:11,963 --> 00:46:13,440
at the festivities.
821
00:46:14,151 --> 00:46:16,490
Then you are a very lucky man.
822
00:46:17,619 --> 00:46:19,649
Thank you for being
so understanding, Dorcas.
823
00:46:19,769 --> 00:46:20,600
Yes,
824
00:46:21,252 --> 00:46:25,201
fortunate indeed to have two ladies
by your side on Sunday evening.
825
00:46:25,848 --> 00:46:29,619
As for the song, I shall do
what I always do. Mime it.
826
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,296
The sentiments are tedious enough,
827
00:46:32,416 --> 00:46:36,351
but who would want such a flavourless
tune coming out of their lungs?
828
00:46:50,267 --> 00:46:52,538
Didn't I tell you we'd get it back?
829
00:46:52,813 --> 00:46:56,047
Doesn't your Ma always come up with
some way of getting us out of a fix?
830
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,176
Ma'am,
831
00:47:08,296 --> 00:47:11,534
- Ma'am. Young Amos to see you.
- She's gone.
832
00:47:11,654 --> 00:47:13,461
Patty's taken her things and left.
833
00:47:13,581 --> 00:47:15,560
I've searched the whole town,
but she's gone.
834
00:47:15,850 --> 00:47:17,143
Thank you, Zillah.
835
00:47:17,263 --> 00:47:20,212
Perhaps it's just as well that things
have turned out this way, Amos.
836
00:47:20,332 --> 00:47:21,640
No. I have to find her.
837
00:47:21,946 --> 00:47:24,685
When you spoke to me,
you were full of mistrust for Patty.
838
00:47:24,805 --> 00:47:26,720
I wasn't being honest with you,
Miss Lane.
839
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,520
I've had these feelings since
the first time I looked at her.
840
00:47:29,681 --> 00:47:31,967
But there's more to Patty
than we first realised.
841
00:47:32,087 --> 00:47:33,267
No. I won't hear it.
842
00:47:33,387 --> 00:47:36,080
You only have to look in her eyes
to know she's true-hearted.
843
00:47:36,713 --> 00:47:37,932
I must admit,
844
00:47:38,052 --> 00:47:40,677
I saw the same thing the first time
I set eyes on her.
845
00:47:40,797 --> 00:47:43,337
Where will she go?
That's all I want to know.
846
00:47:43,457 --> 00:47:46,066
The Squire's carriage has arrived.
847
00:48:03,537 --> 00:48:07,520
Dorcas, I'm so pleased that you are able
to join Timothy and I this evening.
848
00:48:07,868 --> 00:48:09,780
Thank you, Lady Adelaide.
849
00:48:09,935 --> 00:48:13,912
May I say, it will mean so much to
everyone at Lark Rise to have you there.
850
00:48:16,138 --> 00:48:17,487
I do hope so.
851
00:48:27,436 --> 00:48:28,606
It's Patty!
852
00:48:28,726 --> 00:48:31,275
We have to stop!
I need to talk to Patty!
853
00:48:33,780 --> 00:48:35,445
I'm sorry, your Ladyship.
854
00:48:54,974 --> 00:48:56,804
Patty, I'm so sorry.
855
00:48:57,754 --> 00:49:00,300
You took me for a friend,
but I betrayed your secret.
856
00:49:00,420 --> 00:49:03,338
That's all right now, little Laura.
You only told the truth.
857
00:49:03,458 --> 00:49:05,086
Patty, where are you going?
858
00:49:05,206 --> 00:49:07,728
Back to the workhouse
where I belong, Ma'am.
859
00:49:07,848 --> 00:49:10,752
I'll say good day and thank you all
for your welcome.
860
00:49:10,872 --> 00:49:13,022
Let us at least give you a ride, Patty.
861
00:49:13,142 --> 00:49:14,701
I couldn't do that, sir.
862
00:49:14,821 --> 00:49:16,569
Ride in the Squire's carriage...
863
00:49:16,689 --> 00:49:18,881
You can't possibly walk
to Bicester tonight.
864
00:49:19,001 --> 00:49:22,349
Let us take you into Lark Rise, you can
find some shelter there till morning.
865
00:49:22,469 --> 00:49:25,688
I have endured enough disobedience
on my patch for one week.
866
00:49:25,808 --> 00:49:27,377
You will ride in the carriage,
867
00:49:27,497 --> 00:49:29,666
and rest in Lark Rise for the night.
868
00:50:03,003 --> 00:50:06,127
I shall be singing
The Tragical Ballad of Lily Lyle,
869
00:50:06,650 --> 00:50:09,650
sure to bring a tear
to any eye that hears it.
870
00:50:29,437 --> 00:50:31,960
Miss Lane had planted the idea
into my head of how to
871
00:50:32,121 --> 00:50:35,240
unravel the Reverend without him
even knowing he is being unravelled.
872
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,343
And I was bursting to tell my family how
they might go to the concert after all.
873
00:50:47,346 --> 00:50:50,897
Patty, why are you intent on
going back to the workhouse?
874
00:50:51,148 --> 00:50:53,291
I'd rather go back there
than put Young Amos
875
00:50:53,411 --> 00:50:55,440
in such a terrible dispute
with his father.
876
00:50:55,726 --> 00:50:57,281
And Mr Jarvis?
877
00:50:57,401 --> 00:50:59,208
Tell me what happened, Patty.
878
00:50:59,328 --> 00:51:02,084
Why did his family refuse
to give you a reference?
879
00:51:02,204 --> 00:51:04,840
The truth of it is, Miss Lane,
I loved Mr Jarvis,
880
00:51:05,545 --> 00:51:08,421
though he was a good
30 years older than I was. And...
881
00:51:08,541 --> 00:51:10,348
I believe that he loved me.
882
00:51:10,468 --> 00:51:12,000
Then why didn't you marry?
883
00:51:12,247 --> 00:51:13,829
Mr Jarvis was a widower,
884
00:51:13,949 --> 00:51:16,981
with three children of my own age
and beyond. And they...
885
00:51:17,527 --> 00:51:19,605
It's not what they would've wanted.
886
00:51:19,725 --> 00:51:21,680
But they learned about your romance.
887
00:51:21,931 --> 00:51:23,638
When Mr Jarvis died,
888
00:51:24,698 --> 00:51:27,312
they gave me no references
to my name. So...
889
00:51:27,432 --> 00:51:29,400
it was back to the workhouse for me.
890
00:51:30,353 --> 00:51:33,670
I know a thousand good reasons
why I shouldn't love Young Amos,
891
00:51:34,191 --> 00:51:36,320
but my heart won't listen to them.
892
00:51:42,131 --> 00:51:46,000
Sir Timothy, I may need the use of your
carriage, if that would be all right.
893
00:51:50,696 --> 00:51:54,219
What this situation needs, Patty,
is some light entertainment.
894
00:51:55,464 --> 00:51:56,450
Ma!
895
00:51:57,199 --> 00:51:58,640
Oh, my! Look at you.
896
00:51:59,263 --> 00:52:02,000
I would barely have recognised
my own daughter.
897
00:52:02,161 --> 00:52:05,566
Ma, I'm not going to the concert
unless you're going to be there.
898
00:52:05,686 --> 00:52:08,234
That's a question you'd be
better off putting to your Pa.
899
00:52:08,354 --> 00:52:11,206
I say it's going to be the loveliest
entertainment of the year
900
00:52:11,326 --> 00:52:13,401
and we should all be there.
That's not possible.
901
00:52:13,521 --> 00:52:15,730
- There's nothing to be done.
- Yes, there is.
902
00:52:15,850 --> 00:52:18,560
They could just mime the song.
Then they wouldn't be singing it,
903
00:52:18,721 --> 00:52:22,027
- who's to know?
- Can we, Pa? Can we?
904
00:52:22,481 --> 00:52:25,840
I suppose there's more ways
a killing a dog than hanging it.
905
00:52:26,183 --> 00:52:28,040
Or choking it with best butter.
906
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,960
Come on, let's hurry up and get ready...
907
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,103
O come ye Tories,
908
00:52:47,223 --> 00:52:49,360
all unite
909
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,726
To wear the Primrose
910
00:52:51,846 --> 00:52:53,575
badge with might
911
00:52:53,695 --> 00:52:55,439
And work and hope
912
00:52:55,601 --> 00:52:57,800
and strive and fight
913
00:52:57,961 --> 00:52:59,959
And pray may God
914
00:53:00,121 --> 00:53:02,640
defend the right.
915
00:53:03,766 --> 00:53:06,720
O come ye Tories,
916
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,500
all unite
917
00:53:08,620 --> 00:53:10,959
To wear the Primrose
918
00:53:11,124 --> 00:53:12,683
badge with might
919
00:53:12,803 --> 00:53:14,945
And work and hope
920
00:53:15,065 --> 00:53:16,849
and strive and fight
921
00:53:16,969 --> 00:53:19,216
And pray may God
922
00:53:19,336 --> 00:53:22,243
defend the right.
923
00:53:41,644 --> 00:53:45,360
I'm glad you were able to see
where your duty lies, Timmins.
924
00:53:45,521 --> 00:53:48,140
And so am I, Reverend Ellison, so am I.
925
00:53:51,498 --> 00:53:52,640
Amos,
926
00:53:53,012 --> 00:53:56,067
what was it that you wanted
from a marriage to Patty?
927
00:53:56,837 --> 00:53:57,640
Please.
928
00:53:59,658 --> 00:54:02,800
I hear from Thomas
that she's a fine cook.
929
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,593
Yeah. There's that.
930
00:54:05,474 --> 00:54:08,502
And a well-kept house. Clean clothes.
931
00:54:09,286 --> 00:54:12,000
And if she had consented to marry you,
932
00:54:12,661 --> 00:54:16,576
would you have been ready for the things
that Patty might want from a marriage?
933
00:54:16,941 --> 00:54:18,800
A full marriage.
934
00:54:19,363 --> 00:54:22,800
I'm past such romantical notions.
935
00:54:33,308 --> 00:54:35,760
Suppose Patty had wanted children.
936
00:54:37,051 --> 00:54:38,480
I never thought of that.
937
00:54:39,968 --> 00:54:42,560
It'll be a pity if she does go back
to the workhouse
938
00:54:43,435 --> 00:54:45,400
when you could have all those things...
939
00:54:45,561 --> 00:54:48,840
the broths and puddings and pies,
940
00:54:49,311 --> 00:54:53,280
clean-pressed shirts,
a woman to look after you...
941
00:54:53,864 --> 00:54:57,000
without the responsibilities
of being a married man.
942
00:54:58,887 --> 00:55:01,419
Look at how happy Young Amos is.
943
00:55:03,676 --> 00:55:06,240
But what about her and Mr Jarvis,
and all that?
944
00:55:06,552 --> 00:55:09,057
I believe that was genuine, Amos.
945
00:55:09,177 --> 00:55:10,433
After all,
946
00:55:10,805 --> 00:55:14,465
if all that Patty wanted was
to get an old fool to marry her,
947
00:55:14,961 --> 00:55:17,960
I think she would have accepted
your offer, don't you?
948
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,001
Oh, come on, Amos...
949
00:55:28,476 --> 00:55:31,240
Don't let your pride
make you twice the fool.
950
00:55:45,765 --> 00:55:49,192
Twas a still, calm night
951
00:55:49,312 --> 00:55:52,302
And the moon's pale light
952
00:55:52,546 --> 00:55:54,757
Shone over
953
00:55:54,877 --> 00:55:57,528
hill and dale
954
00:55:58,078 --> 00:56:02,028
Her cheeks that once
glowed with the...
955
00:56:07,763 --> 00:56:10,080
... rose tint of health
956
00:56:10,818 --> 00:56:14,157
By the hand of disease had turned
957
00:56:14,321 --> 00:56:15,428
pale
958
00:56:16,379 --> 00:56:18,920
0h Lily,
959
00:56:19,081 --> 00:56:21,880
sweet Lily
960
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,854
Dear Lily Lyle
961
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,600
Nor the wild rose blossoms
962
00:56:29,761 --> 00:56:32,289
or a little green grape
963
00:56:32,409 --> 00:56:36,349
'Neath the trees in the flowery vale
964
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,029
0h Lily,
965
00:56:41,149 --> 00:56:43,823
sweet Lily
966
00:56:44,012 --> 00:56:47,342
Dear Lily Lyle...
967
00:56:47,462 --> 00:56:50,218
In ten years many of these songs
would be forgotten...
968
00:56:54,617 --> 00:56:57,810
... lost in the changing scenes
of my lifetime...
969
00:57:00,397 --> 00:57:02,951
It wasn't only politics
that made it difficult
970
00:57:03,071 --> 00:57:05,440
for some people to accept their lot.
971
00:57:11,334 --> 00:57:13,343
Sometimes, it was love.
972
