and lead her into pastures new,

where she may rest her weary head Take her unto you

our own comfort, our blindness, we sometimes forget others

For that which we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful Amen

You all right, Silas? You enjoying yourself? I am

Bella, I've decided I'm going to London in a couple of days

Have you told your ma?

I haven't told anyone yet

Then why are you telling me? I wondered

Would you come with me?

What? Would you?

Just like that? Just the two of us? I'll take care of you

No, I'd not walk out like that

Your ma and pa have been good to me

Hey, Mother, he's trod upon her Crippled for life now, I expect

What's it like dancing with a carthorse, Bella? Now, you stop that, Jedd Come on!

I'm sorry, Bella

No one is as sorry as I am

I'd never danced at harvest before

Not as easy as it looks

You can learn No

I'll teach you if you like What, you'd risk it?

Careful Long as you take off your boots

Can you sit yourself down there? Steady All right

You tired?

My hands hurt Yeah Let's see

That's bonding that does that

You tired? Not really

You frightened me out there in the fields

Well, he wouldn't leave you alone

He was just larking about

He was He was just larking No, he weren't larking You don't

He weren't larking You don't know Jedd

He knew what he was doing, he always does

Con, I don't want you fighting over me I wasn't fighting over you

Well, that's what it looks like

And I'm living under your ma and pa's roof

I wasn't fighting over you Jedd, see,

he don't listen to me I'm used to it But

he wasn't listening to you, and that's not right

When our Nell, my sister, died,

she looked like she was very frightened at the end

And I asked if we could read the Noah story at her funeral

See, Nell's favorite story was the one about

Noah and the rainbow and

and how the rainbow's a sign not to be scared or nothin'

But Jedd said no

"Pa wants Psalm 23"

And besides, it's more appropriate"

But, see, I know Nell would've like that story, the Noah story

They didn't listen Jedd weren't listening to me

He got crosser and crosser and the crosser he got, the more you laughed

That was your fault, pulling all them faces at me behind his back

Better be on me way, then

I'll walk to the station with you No No, no, no

I'm up for a fine welcome, but never a goodbye

Can't abide it Never could

So

Come and see me down in Salisbury?

No I'll see you when you come back at Christmastime

Well, it was worth a try, eh? You! Goodbye, Jedd

Goodbye, then No, no Never say goodbye, eh?

It's too well, final

I'll send you on a photograph just as soon as they arrive

If they do arrive

Everything's got to go! Live chicken, madam?

No, thank you

Come on, get your chicken and geese!

Flowers! Fresh cut!

Flowers! Fresh cut!

Good morning

Come on, dear, out you come now That's a good girl

That's my beauty

Mind where you're going, Ruth For heaven's sake

Hello!

Pretty

You all right, then, Sam?

Hello?

- Hello, hello! - There you are!

How's my little angel? She all right this morning?

She's all right

We'll go and see Mr And Mrs Goose, shall we?

We'll go and see Mr and Mrs Goose

You fed the goose this morning? No No eggs, neither

No eggs? That's not very good, is it?

We'll have to wring their necks and have them for our supper, won't we?

My beautiful little angel Nice, rosy cheeks, haven't ya?

You been out in the fresh air this morning, have you?

Arch!

Arch, mind you keep her warm I'll keep her warm!

And why are you so late? What?

You're always nagging me, you are

I'm not nagging you You're always late!

You always nag me You're not pleased to see me

Have you paid Mr Thompson's bill yet?

I paid that last week

But I saw Mrs Thompson and she doesn't

Well, she don't know nothing about it I paid him, not her

Believe me for once, eh?

Arch, I worry about you

You say you're comin' home and you don't come home Oh, come on

There's no need

After a hard day, I just want a bit of peace and quiet

I just worry, that's all

Why are you going back inside?

Here we are, just up here

You all right, son?

Now that the harvest is done, it's time I was going

I think you should wait I made up my mind

Evening, Mrs Wainwright Evening

Matty

You see Jedd away all right, did you?

Yes, I did

I don't want to cause no trouble here

Maybe not, but you're a bit of a one for it all the same

No I've done nothing as it seems

That makes everything all right, does it? No

Setting brother against brother would be seen as causing trouble

in anyone's book

One of my sons might have died in that cornfield

You think about that

before you count yourself innocent of all blame

I have thought about it

Bella not back yet?

Ma?

She's gone

What?

Packed her bags and gone

No, she can't, she got no money

She has enough

Watch where you're going!

Ma says you're leaving

Why? I have to

No No

Look, I won't fight with Jedd no more, I promise

It's not just that, I have to leave It won't happen again, I swear

You don't know me, Con No No, I

I know, I know No, you don't

I can't say what I mean You know nothing about me

I've been with a man!

I had his baby when I was coming here

It died

It died and I buried it in a hole like an animal, that's what I done

He said he'd come back and he never did

Did did you love him?

Yes, I did

Then, then, then you've done nothing wrong

Do you still love him?

Do you still love him?

I have a different life now

- So have I - Addisford!

Addisford!

Don't go Do

Do you wanna go?

No Then-then stay

What happened-what happened, it doesn't matter to me

What, what if it matters one day? It, it never will

I love you

I love you

I'd like to stay

So I see

If that's all right with you

It's what I want, Ma

Well, you always do what you want

So I won't waste my breath

Right

That's settled, then

We'll have no more talk on it

Ma?

I'll not say a word Good

Good morning Morning

We'd better get on and say grace

Waiting for Matty, as usual

He's gone Huh?

To London

It's the best thing for him

Progress, that's what Matty's after

Progress, yeah

I suppose that's what we all want, yeah?

We gonna have this breakfast this morning or not?

I'm gonna get you!

Are you ticklish?

Whoa, whoa, whoa

One, two, three

Hello

You're as beautiful as ever

So how've you been?

I have to go Excuse me

Stay!

Let's just talk for a minute, eh?

Still got the prettiest eyes I ever did see

I never did forget your eyes

You know, I came over to Selmouth a couple months back

Did you?

They told me you'd gone

Are you living here now?

No

Where, then? Addisford

Where you said you lived

I live in Celbridge I know I saw you there

Well, well, no I was at Addisford for a time

Well, you know, I get all over the place with my work

You lied to me

Addisford, eh?

Say, you've got a fair there next weekend, haven't you?

I'll probably see you there

You lied

Keep still You've got a hair in your eye

Keep still

I took Mother to the fair that summer we were courting, do you remember?

Once was enough

There she was, all dressed up

I took her on the merry-go-round

Ben

Anyway, she'd had too many cockles, you see

There she was, very proper, up and down, up and down, round and round

That'll do

Anyway, she brought it all up, you see

I was all right, I was upwind of her

Everyone else was splattered! Not at the table

You haven't been able to look at another cockle since, have you, Mother?

Ben, I said, that's enough

Watch what you're doing, son Right

Now seems as good a time as any

For what? Eh?

Come on, then You got something to say, spit it out

Bella Ford, will you marry me?

Don't care what anyone says

Bella, will you marry me?

Will you?

Yes, I will

Yeah?

What's been going on? Yes

So why didn't you tell me, eh?

Why didn't you tell me?

I never knew I was gonna ask

Congratulations, love Yeah

Ah, come on, Mother, come on Give them your blessing Come on

Mother

You! Why'd you have to ask me like that, in front of Ma?

'Cause I made up my mind, I couldn't wait I had to do it

You're meant to get down on one knee and ask me all romantic-like

All right Bella

Miss Bella Ford, will you marry me? No!

Go on, you bloody better

Walter, Sally, may I present my fiancée, Miss Bella Ford

Congratulations Thank you

Thanks, Walter

Congratulations Thank you

I'm getting married, Walter, can you believe it?

Stop it You're making me feel foolish

I'm sorry, but once I get something in my head, I got to do it

I've always been like that I remember once, when I was little,

I was in chapel one Sunday

And there was this old boy preaching, Ben Masters

He had this big beard like Moses and he'd fix you with his eye

till you thought he was God himself

And on one Sunday, all of a sudden he started shouting:

"Has anybody here seen Jesus? Has anybody here seen Jesus?"

And he looked straight at me

And I was angry because I thought, why is he asking such a stupid question?

And I stood up and I shouted back as loud as I could,

"No! No! Course we ain't! He's dead, ain't he?"

And I got out my pew and I ran down the back of the chapel

I opened the door and I ran and I ran until I couldn't run no more

There's one of Ben Masters' old disciples Mitchy!

Mrs Mitchy! Mr Mitchell, if you don't mind

Afternoon I've got something to announce

Me and Bella here, who you know, we're getting wed

Well, now! Congratulations to the pair of you!

Oh, I'm so pleased for you

Like I said to the wife on our wedding day

We're gonna go around the river first, Mr Mitchell, Mrs Mitchell

Good afternoon Goodbye

I never thought he'd end up with her

Spoiled, that one

She might be just the girl for him

Hey, boys Mind the lines, eh? Sorry, mister

- Any luck? - Not much

I reckon it's too hot What are you using?

Maggots Maggots Try caddis

Sometimes they'll go for caddis when it's hot
