Thank you.

From the moment Roger first set eyes on the stone of Gronow, he has been haunted

by the legend of the unfaithful wife Bledoeth, created out of flowers, and

then punished by being turned into an owl.

Clive has questioned Nancy, the housekeeper, about a strange locked door

in the stables.

Still brooding on past insults, Nancy has given Clive 48 hours' notice, and

when she tells her son Gwyn that he must leave the grammar school, He tries to

escape from the valley.

He's pursued by Hugh, who shows him an age-old hiding place associated with the

legend. And finding there an ancient slate pendant, Gwyn asks Hugh to give it

to Alison.

Gwyn also discovers evidence to prove that Hugh was responsible for the death

of Bertram, Nancy's former lover.

In order to convince Gwyn that his destiny lies in their own valley, Hugh

is finally forced to reveal that he is in fact... Gwyn's father.

Meanwhile, Roger and Alison have been left alone when Clive and Margaret go on

a shopping expedition.

Roger's mind is full of Margaret's sarcasms about his wayward first mother,

whom she calls the Birmingham Belle.

He decides to clear the air by forcing open the locked door.

Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo.

The Brin Ghost.

Powell's Tea Party.

The Old Fraud.

That's what.

The padlock's no stronger than the chain.

What are you talking about?

Come on, hurry up, or now the pipe works.

What works?

Oh, hurry up. I'll see you there.

What a fantastic job.

Why didn't I think of it?

And where are we going?

Abba.

That's tomorrow.

Shut around.

Do as you're told.

I'm not coming.

You can carry your own cases.

I'm staying with my dad.

What's that?

My dad ran away.

I shan't.

I don't want to end up like him.

Or you.

Get up!

Carry them cases!

Why couldn't you ask properly the first time?

I'll carry the cases.

But you'll see.

Ellie?

Ma'am, it's pouring.

You're out of your pack, boy.

Who is it?

It's me, Alison.

I think they've gone now, Gwyn and Nancy.

Look, I'm having a bath now.

It's blasted feathers.

Shall I go on?

Hello,

boys.

Ellie?

Wait, Disney!

How do you think we're gonna nap, Dee?

We're going down the shop.

What is she wanting that old farm for?

Well, boy, boy.

Suitcases, is it?

That's the day.

That's the day.

Are you going to assess blood warnings?

Blood warnings, it says. Are you going anywhere, are you?

Keep on fast.

Tempest, it says.

Always had her own way when I'm sleeping.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

I

think

you really have gone.

Now why have you got so wet?

You're not used to it like me.

We'll be catching chills.

I'm going back to the house. Come along now.

I got something for you.

A present.

A present for me?

It's not my birthday.

It's mean people who must wait for birthdays.

No, no, it's just a present.

Are you sure they're coming back?

A present.

I'm certain of it.

Excuse me, I'm tidy.

Yes, always.

How long?

Always.

I'm not good at counting years.

But how do you manage?

I mean, well, what happens in winter?

Winter is cold time, yes.

Where do you keep things?

What clothes?

I wear clothes.

I've got all the valley to keep things in.

But special things.

Here.

It's a beastly trick.

It is yours.

The present is inside. I know what's inside. I don't want it. It is a special

present from the boy.

All I've done is put your lace on.

What? He is saying it is very old.

It is yours.

The boy said to give it you for presents.

No. He wants you to have it.

But he is shy to give himself.

Put it away, please.

It's too much.

No, no, nothing at all.

I'm saying to him, you give it to your boy.

But no, he is saying you give it to her and telling this from me.

He's a nice boy.

Present for you.

Where are you going?

Where do you think?

You can't walk the path in this weather!

Go fetch a boy. Tell him to be quick. But she wants a doctor. Go fetch a boy!

Wait! Go fetch a boy!

Let me in!

This is the power.

It's in her now.

Bad.

This is it, boy.

What do you want me to do?

Help her.

Are they here or are they outside?

They are the same now.

I paid to help you and the vying of the throne.

You are the three.

You have made this together.

I'm not doing anything for them.

I've finished.

Stop jabbering and do something.

Get these feathers off. Get them off.

You said you did know.

What's gone wrong?

You.

I'm not on the way.

You said this was my valley and I'm not on the way.

I trusted you and I came back. Now show me what I'm to do.

I can't say.

What?

Always it is owls. Always we are destroyed.

Why must she see owls and not flowers?

Always it is the same. What is it you want me to do?

Look to her.

Comfort her.

I can't.

Just comfort her.

She's coming and will use what she finds and you have only hate in you.

Always and always and always.

If you didn't say it would be this, I can't. Try.

Comfort. No.

Comfort. No.

He's not wanting.

But can't you make it?

But why not?

He was hurt too much by the woman and the spear.

You won't do this.

It's Ali!

It's Ali!

It's Ali!

Okay.

Okay, girl.

It's my fault.

It was me, not Ali.

She never laughed at you about those records.

It wasn't like I said. I twisted it round.

I'm sorry.

Don't let it happen, Gwyn.

Gwyn, if you really can, stop it. Don't let it happen.

She's ill.

All right, Gwyn.

Get lost.

Mummy's boy.

Go and play with her if you can find her.

Okay.

Okay, Quinn.

And how is the Birmingham bell?

Still ringing?

Yes.

I wonder who's swinging on her roof.

Who's twisting her tassels, eh?

Yes.

She'll need a new clapper by now, I should be under.

Poor devil.

Poor devils.

She is hurt too much.

She wants to be flowers and you make her owls.

And she is at the hunting.

Is that it?

Is that all it is?

As easy as that?

Without end.

Without end.

Hey, Ali, did you hear?

You've got it back to front, you silly gubbins. She's not owls. She's flowers.

Flowers, Ali. Flowers.

You're not birds. You're flowers.

Flowers. Flowers.

Flowers, Ali.

Flowers. You've never been anything else.

Flowers. Flowers, Ali.

Flowers.

Flowers.

Flowers. Flowers.

Gently now.

Quietly. Flowers.

Flowers, Ali.

Flowers, are you?

Flowers.

That's better.

There.

There.

Oh, yes, of course they're flowers.

What made you think those plates could be anything else?

Why didn't you cut the pattern of the flowers right at the start?

Silly girl.

Fire it down.

I don't know what

I'm doing.

I think the biggest problem with Nokia is that it goes round and round.
