He told me once:

"When we read a story,
we inhabit it.

The covers of the books
They are like a roof and four walls:

a house".

What he liked best in the world was
the moment you finish a book

and history continues to accompany you
as the most vivid of dreams.

And after that,
he liked to take long walks

to clear your mind
of all the emotions and sensations

that the book had provoked him.

That morning,

after confusing years
of readings, walks

and mourning the death of her husband,

Florence Green woke up knowing
exactly what I wanted to do.

Open a bookstore in the village
in which I had gone to live.

I am convinced that this library
It will be all it says, Mrs. Green,

but I still can not promise anything
firm on behalf of the bank.

The decision does not depend on me.

You claim to have
considerable experience in the field.

I learned this job very well
in my youth,

and I do not think it has changed much
since then.

And what is more important, I know ...

I love reading.

Well, it will not hurt
I told him a couple of things.

Consider them a piece of advice,
If you prefer.

He had a big heart

and a huge patience.

But neither these two virtues
they were strong enough

as to be able to hold the tone
grandiloquent and condescending

from Mr. Keble,
the banker of Hardborough,

to whom the whole world
called Mr. Potato behind him.

I should know that there are some who think

that other uses could occur
to Old House.

Although, of course, always have
the option to resell it.

I do not have the slightest intention
to resell it, Mr. Keble.

What do they think
Can Old House be used?

Why have not they done anything
in the last seven years?

There were bird nests,

half of the tiles fell
and it reeked of rat.

Is not it better to fill it with books
so that people can leaf through them?

I read before going to sleep.

And I usually stay roque
to the third page.

Go? It does not notice it
How useful can books be?

THE BOOKSTORE

BASED ON THE NOVEL
OF PENELOPE FITZGERALD

The weather in this part of the world
It was totally unpredictable.

Sometimes, in a single morning they could
the four seasons are present.

That sunny day,
he left the bank

angry, proud, impatient
and terribly alive.

I was going to pursue his dream,

and nobody, not even Mr. Potato,
I was going to stop her.

Hello, Mrs. Green!
Are you busy?

Hello, Mr. Raven. Not because?

Can I throw the corporal?

Of course!

Watch out!

The floor is very slippery.
That's how Ethan's leg broke yesterday.

But I know that you are a woman
that is not easily scared.

How do you know?

Rumored
that is going to open a bookstore here.

Why do you think it is risky?

The only person who reads here
It's Mr. Brundish.

And I do not think he leaves home
to be your customer.

I think I saw him yesterday on the hill.
I saw it from afar.

I imagine they had
a long conversation!

Yes, we do not stop talking!

Yeah right.

Good luck, Mrs. Green!

Do not you read, Mr. Raven?

Do not.

The books leave me exhausted.

I have enough with real life!

Mr. Brundish lived alone
in the oldest house in Hardborough.

It's not like he especially liked it
your own company,

but, after long years of battle,

had agreed to a permanent truce
with himself.

I loved books with the same passion
with which he detested his peers.

I often fantasized that
those volumes that devoured

they had not been written
by humans,

but they had appeared
by spontaneous generation.

Nothing bothered him more
that the images of the writers

that appeared often
in certain editions.

It's not red.

It is very dark garnet,

or rust color.

It does not matter ... How about Old House?
Do you manage well?

Sam Wilkins Wine
and fixed the bathroom and the roof,

and he repaired the system as best he could.

That place is like an old fossil.

Even straw is 500 years old.

OK, hands up.

It is done.

Still plans to settle there, right?

Yesterday I spent my first night there.

What? As soon?

I already warned everyone.

They did not think he was going to settle there
with all those humidities.

I know no, but it was all good.
It's a little scary at night,

but I imagine it is
because I have not got used to it yet.

The wood in such an old house
It must creak everywhere.

I'm afraid that red is not my color.

I do not look good in the back.

Maybe if I lean on the wall
when I'm there ...

- Too much red. He does not believe?
- It is not...

It's not red.

It is a very dark garnet.

Yes.

He will get used to it.

Need some jewel to enhance it.

Yes.

- Are you sure?
- Of course I'm sure.

The Gamart do not invite her
to a party every day, right?

Stop agonies.

It looks ...

fantastic.

And when you arrive you will not have to worry
of its appearance; nobody will notice you.

In addition, he already knows all the guests.

I'm Florence Green.

I am the one who is going to open
the little bookstore.

That's it, iclaro!

I've noticed right away!

Clear. Violet was very interested
in that matter.

I wanted to have a conversation
of yours

with you about the bookstore.

She's a little busy right now,

but I think he'll want to talk to you
later.

So...

What kind of things
Will you have in your store?

Good...

Basically, books.

Today they are not published
Many poetry books, right?

I do not see too many.

I'll have some poetry, of course,

but it does not sell as much
like the novel, the essay ...

It will take me a while to find out
the kind of material that I will need.

For the moment, I've ordered classics
like Thackeray, Dickens, Keats ...

"It's easy to be dead.

Say only this:

'They are dead"'.

Do you know who wrote that?

Do not.

I'm so sorry, I do not know.

I do know who you are.

Must be Mrs. Green.

Yes.

I also know who you are.
Of course, Mr. North.

I had never been invited to The Stead.
I imagine that you come often.

Yes, they invite me frequently.

Thank you. He is very friendly.

Not that much.

There he is.

Live alone, right?
He has just entered Old House.

You alone?

Widow of war.

I already know it.

Have you ever thought about remarrying?

Do not.

The problem is that my marriage
He was very happy

Thats weird.

I have always thought that women
Begins to be happy after being widowed.

Have they advised you properly
to run a business?

I did not know him in person, Mr. North,
but he supposed that, because of his work,

I would appreciate it if there was a bookstore
in Hardborough.

I'm sure you'll know
to writers on the BBC,

and thinkers and others.

I imagine that from time to time they will come
to visit it and to breathe fresh air.

If they came ...

I would not know what to do with them.

The writers go anywhere
where there is free drink.

I do not have it clear with the thinkers.

I think Kattie, my, let's say, girlfriend,
I would take care of them.

In any case, they have to come
to my store. I count on you.

No way.

Why is it going red?

Only the maids look good
They leave on their day off.

It is not red, it is dark garnet.

My dear lady.

Florence, is not it?

Yes.

I wanted to talk to you
since he has arrived,

but my guests do not do more
to get away from my priorities.

Thank you very much for coming.

- Thanks for inviting me.
- It's a pleasure.

- It's a lovely party.
- Everyone talks about their project.

He has a great sense of smell for business!

Bruno!

Have you been introduced to my husband?

Come and tell Mrs. ...

Green.

How delighted we are to see it.

We have all prayed that there would be
a good bookstore in our town.

Is not it, Bruno?

Of course dear.
There is nothing wrong with praying.

Surely, things would go much better
if we all pray more.

One thing, Ms. Green,
something unimportant,

He has not moved to Old House yet, has he?

Yes, more than a week ago.

But if there is no water.

Sam Wilkins fixed the pipes.

Do not forget that lately
you have spent a lot of time in London

and that you have not been able to control everything.

Why should not I have moved?

I think I can save you
many disappointments

and maybe even some money.

In fact, I want to help her.

There are much more suitable premises
in Hardborough.

Especially for a bookstore.

I'm afraid we were so used to it
that Old House was empty,

that we have been putting things off
year after year.

It has practically exposed us
In your hurry, Mrs. Green.

But the question is that many
of us does not convince us

the sudden transformation of Old House
in a shop.

Many of us think
that should be a kind of ...

local center of the arts.

Well, Violet.
You could also pray for that.

Chamber music in summer,
talks in winter ...

Simply,
there is no other old house

that has the appropriate ...

ambient.

I have negotiated this purchase
for more than six months, so ...

I can not believe
that there might be someone in Hardborough

that he has not heard.

In fact, I'm sure
that everyone is aware.

We have a great advantage.

It would be a pity ...

Missing it.

This is, now we have exactly
to the right person

to take care of the matter,
that is, from the center.

He understands, does not he?

Why do not you think about it a bit?

Sonia!

How beautiful you are!

His feet and head ached,

and he regretted having followed
the advice of the seamstress

regarding the color of her dress.

That was all.

At no time did he think
in the consequences

that his modest act of living in Old House
I would cause it.

You're radiant.

Is not that Lord Gosfield?

Caramba! What a guest list
Tonight, Violet!

Lord Gosfield.

How complicated has been
Get with you tonight.

I hope Bruno has spoken to you

from our new center in Hardborough
for music and the arts.

We were talking about it.

Mrs. Green!

Hi.

- Good Morning.
- I'm glad I saw her.

- How is it?
- Very well thanks. Very good.

I wanted to ask you a question
about my store.

I want to talk to you about my store.

- It's going to auction.
- Yes

That will not be until April,
or maybe later.

The point is that ...

I would prefer to arrive
to a private agreement before that.

Since you have shown some interest
for the property

and it's not going to stay in Old House ...

I trust you will notice
that I'm too busy

as to pay attention
to the rumors that I hear.

Presumably
who will make an offer for the place.

There has been a misunderstanding,
Mr. Deben, but ...

Yes, but it does not matter.
And I...

I wish I could help you.

Mrs. Gamart had ...

the kindness to tell me your idea
to open a center for the arts.

Something that we will benefit from
all in Hardborough.

And I think it's her
the one who is looking for a place.

And what could be better
What is your fishmonger?

Yes I understand.

You have been very kind.

- Thanks for your help.
- You're welcome, Mr. Deben.

- Good Morning.
- Yes. Thank you, Mrs. Green.

Florence had lived her life
until then

considering that human beings
they were not divided

between exterminators and exterminated,

and that did not always prevail
the first.

I did not know if I was in London or ...

In London? I am not here.
Well, that's what I think.

- Can i sit?
- Yes

Nescafé?

I have never tried it.

I've heard about it, but ...

I heard that it is not prepared
with boiling water.

Yes.

- This is too small for you.
- Yes, I know.

Knows? I'm glad you came.

Nobody else forces me
to face the truth.

I have come to ask you one thing.

When Mrs. Gamart spoke at her party

about the ideal person
to take the center for the arts,

Of course, I thought of you, right?

Not in me

The party of Violet?

Did she expect me to leave without more
from my house, even from the town itself,

with the idea that you
will move to Old House to ...

direct everything?

If he was talking about me, I doubt very much
that used the word "direct".

Do you want a Nescafé or?

Do not?

No. Neither of you, thank you.

- Are you sure?
- Yes

- Do you mind if I ...?
- Ahead.

I think I'd better go.

It goes? Really?

Yes. Thanks anyway.

Well ... Nice to see you.

Well, from what I've heard,
practically by chance,

is being rethought
the library project

Well, you've heard wrong, Mr. Thornton.

I came to demand that all be resolved
pending matters as soon as possible,

so you can open the library
without forther delay.

- But they told me ...
- What?

That I was going to leave Old House,
Which, by the way, is my only home?

There are many other empty properties
in Hardborough.

In fact, I have a list of other
in more distant places.

I hope there are no more delays.
Send me the rest of the papers.

Once again,
Thank so much for your help.

Let us lead by the river,

But if I shiver, hug me.

Show me the steps of the mambo,

but if I stumble, hug me.

And if I get sentimental,

honey, be sweet,

hug me.

Do not talk to me about marriage,

nor of horses and carriages;

just turn off the light

and give me a goodnight kiss.

We have a world to discover,

my dear lover, hug me.

Can I help you with something, guys?

We are marine scouts, ma'am.

Yes, I see it. And what are you doing here?

Mr. Raven told us to come.
What do you want us to do?

I want to mount all the shelves.
Will you be able?

How many hand drills do you have?

Come on, guys, it's raining.

Here are the keys.

Come on, hurry up.

When Ms. Green opened the first
box of books I had ordered,

the problems and obstacles
from the previous days

They disappeared without further ado.

With each edition, the faces
and the words of Mrs. Gamart,

The banker,

his lawyer

and Milo North

they were vanishing.

And, for a moment,
she felt that her late husband,

he had loved so much,

I was next to her again.

OLD HOUSE LIBRARY

And that was his happiest moment
in the bookshop.

ACCOUNTING BOOK

A very lonely job, yours.

Sorry I came
with water boots.

I do not feel alone at all.

That shelf is crooked
about 5 millimeters.

And that plaster
It looks terrible.

Talk about it the next time you see them.

No. Everything has
Looks great, Mr. Raven.

I'm very happy
with the work of the boys, seriously.

Is it you, Wally?
Your ear burns!

- What are you doing here?
- I have a message for Mrs. Green.

- Whose?
- Mr. Brundish, Mr. Raven.

What?

Did you leave Holt House and give you a note?

No. He looked out the window and told me
Give this to Mr. Green.

I'm surprised that this is for me.

I have never talked with him.
I can not believe he knows my name.

When I meet him at the corporal,

always goes off,
as if he had seen a ghost.

Surely he knows who you are.

He finds out everything that happens
in the village. I do not know how he does it.

Do not give importance
to the black edges of the envelope.

He commissioned those envelopes in 1919, when he returned
all of the First War and ...

dying Mrs. Brundish ...

during your honeymoon.

Oh yeah. How he died?

He drowned.

When crossing the marsh

He had gone to pick some blackberries
to make a cake for Mr. Brundish.

"Dear lady".

"I wish you good luck.

In my great-grandfather's time,
there was a bookseller on the High Street,

which, if my memory does not fail me,

knocked down one of his clients
with a notebook

when it got heavy.

There had been some delay

at the arrival of the last delivery
of a new novel. I believe that...

I think it was Dombeye son.

Since that day,
nobody has had the courage

to sell books
in this forgotten corner of the world.

It makes us a great honor.

Without a doubt, he would visit his store
if it ever came out,

but currently that's something
that I try never to do

However, if it were to
with some remarkable literary novelty,

please, do not hesitate to send it to me.

As for the biographies,
it's better, in my opinion,

if they are about good people,
while the novels

they are much more interesting
if they are about bad people.

Send them to me through the boy
who has delivered the letter,

with a note, obviously,
to indicate its price.

The greeting ...

Respectfully..."

"Edmund Brundish."

My first client

Come later and I'll give you a package
for Mr. Brundish.

Thank you, Mrs. Green.

You may need a helper
in the afternoons, if there is a lot of hustle and bustle.

I've thought about the daughters of Gipping.

Mrs. Gipping
is more or less up to date,

and I was going to ask him which of them
It would be the most suitable for you.

I think the youngest, Christine,
is the smartest,

but probably just that's why
do not want to leave it.

- Good afternoon, Mr. Thornton. You are welcome.
- Thank you.

THE BOOK OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE

Fahrenheit 451

What kind of book is this?

You're Christine Gipping, are not you?

I thought your big sister would come.

My older sister
he spends the day with Charlie Cuts.

In fact, on the way here,

I saw your hidden bicycles
between fallen leaves, near the crossing.

With me you will not have
that kind of problems.

Those things do not happen to me yet.

And the boys disgust me.

And your other sister?

He is always at home,
taking care of Margaret and Peter.

They are the smallest.

It's not that I do not want to
offer you the job,

it's just that you do not seem
old enough ...

nor strong.

Looks are deceiving.

You seem older,
but not strong.

But it does not matter,
we are all available.

But my older sister will miss work
half the time

and the one in the middle will not appear.

It is just a warning.

And I do not like to read.
I like geography and mates.

I will spend the afternoon
to talk about this with your mother.

Do not worry, I will not force you to read.

However you want.

It will tell you that I can come every day
after school

and the whole day on Saturdays.

And that he can not pay me less
12 and a half shillings a week.

And tell me to shut up
if I talk too much

And your homework?

I can make them when I get home,
after tea

I like your jacket.

Did you knit it yourself?
It must have been very complicated.

It came in Women's Issue magazine,

but the instructions
They were for short sleeves.

Do not you have children, Mrs. Green?

Do not.

Should?

I do not know.

People say that women without children
they waste their life

There are not enough postcards.

Do I put some more?

It would be nice to separate the romantic ones
of those of nature and others.

- Does this seem romantic?
- Oh my God!

What are these?

I had not seen them.

The representatives
They do not know what they send!

We have to throw them away.

Surely more than one in the village
would like to find them in the mailbox.

You're right.

- What?
- Look at them! They will corrupt you.

- Where is the trash?
- Do not throw them away!

Come on, have a cup of tea.

Why does Christine take so long?

He has been working for a lady.

Why?

Because he has a store full of books.

Why?

I do not know.

Good evening, Mrs. Gipping.

Come on, Mrs. Green.

Let's go talk.

I do not know if Christine mentioned you
what about the 12 shillings.

Yes, he has told me.

"Dear lady, do not bother
in sending me more poetry books

or pseudo-complicated novels.

Please, as far as possible,
send more Ray Bradbury books.

Salutes her respectfully,
Edmund Brundish. "

Soon, the business
of Mrs. Green began to bloom.

He spent the day working,
from morning to night.

And, momentarily, he forgot everything
related to Mrs. Gamart

and his plans to convert Old House
in a center for the arts.

- Good morning, Mrs. Green.
- Hi, Wally.

Thanks for doing me this favor.
Here you have.

Do you want to come to a tour,
Christine?

I can not. Tomorrow will reach us
new merchandise

Well, okay

Goodbye.

Would not you like to go hiking?

No. I like Wally, but ...

Yes, you told me
that guys make you sick.

But believe me...

It will happen to you.

I guess so.

It's just that I prefer to be here,

in the bookstore, with you.

It's fun to work here.

Although I do not like to read.

MARTIAN CHRONICLES

Mrs. Green, spoil the postcards.

Let them look at things, it's part
of the tradition of a bookstore.

Yes, but they leave everything messy
and they do not buy anything.

Miss?

Florence.

Mr. North. What a surprise.

It seems that Violet
he will not get away with it.

- Have you already come here?
- We have opened recently.

Will come. It will appear, sooner or later.

He has too much self-love
as to not do it.

I'm sure
that dies of curiosity.

- It would be welcome.
- Are you already making money?

- Not yet.
- You need something like this.

This is the first volume.

Is there a second volume?

Yes, but I have lent it to someone,
or I have left it somewhere.

I should keep them together,
as a lot.

Lolita

Have you read it? Is it good?

It will make you rich, Florence.

Yes, but I only have good novels.

They do not sell much.

According to Graham Greene,
It is a masterpiece.

Although there are others
who think otherwise.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Sometimes I need good advice.
He is very friendly.

He always makes that mistake.

Until next time.

We have the blue one at home.
The Abbey of Westminster comes out,

but it goes all the way around the box.

I'm going to light the stove.

My mother says that paraffin
They are not safe.

They are not dangerous as long as you remember
clean them properly ...

and do not get the liquid
on both sides at the same time.

You should never do that, you hear?

I like this old tray.
You can leave it to me in your will.

What?

I still do not want
think about my will.

When I do, I will try to remember it.

Yes? Are you sure?

Is from Japan?

It is not...

Chinese enamel.

It was brought to me by my Nanking grandfather.

He was a great traveler.

I do not think they keep doing
This type of enameling in China.

Thank you.

I was wondering if you would like
that will help you with your homework.

- We could read things together ...
- There's nothing to read.

They give you some images and they ask you
which is the one that does not fit.

Or they give you numbers like ...

8, 5, 11, 9, 22 and 16,

and you have to find out the next one.

I do not know which one is next.

You're not cold, right?

Do not.

Milo is a ferret.

Smile like a ferret.
I wish he went to hell.

It's okay, Christine.

You are too nice.
He is a bad bug.

When I grow up, I will try to be like him.
It is much more practical!

I know you do not like to read,

but there is a book, I'm afraid,
what you should read

HURRICANE IN JAMAICA

What is it about?

It's about pirates
good and evil children.

Promise me that, at least,
you will open it someday.

Well, if you leave me the Chinese tray
in your will,

I can try.

Fact!

"Dear Mr. Brundish.

I send you a copy of a novel
that has just been published, Lolita.

I must confess
that I found disconcerting.

I would like you to give me your honest opinion,
and ask for advice:

Do you think it is a suitable book
to sell in my bookstore?

Yours sincerely,
Florence Green.

If you do not like the book,
I do not have to pay for it. "

For!

For! I give up!

Hello, Mrs. Gipping. Is everything alright?

I have thought
I should know it as soon as possible.

Mr. Brundish has asked me

to take you
a fruit cake on Sunday,

and he also asked me to ask him

If you want to drink tea
that same afternoon.

This Sunday?

Yes.

Yes very good...

I will send you a note.
Thank you for the message.

I have never brought him a cake
Mr. Brundish.

I hope this
do not become a habit.

Mrs. Green, is it true that you will go
to have tea at Holt House on Sunday?

Yes, Mrs. Keble, it's true.

- Should I know something before I go?
- Mrs. Green.

Hello, Mrs. Deben.
How is Mr. Deben?

Still have problems
to find a buyer?

Poor.

Surely the general and Mrs. Gamart
They are trilling for all this.

They have never been invited to Holt House.

Yes, I've heard that.

So tea at Holt House, huh?

He has protected with great zeal
your privacy

after the tragic death
of your dear wife.

I sent him some books and ...

I asked him for advice about the bookstore.

- Oh yeah?
- Oh sure.

Well, it would be better to continue.

- Yes. He's dribbling!
- It's raining cats!

- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- "Advice on the bookstore".
- Advice for what?

Hello?

Mr. Brundish?

Go to the dining room.

You asked me a question.

Yes, I did it.

About a new novel.

He had the kindness
to ask me a serious question,

thinking that I would be impartial.

Definitely,
He thought he was alone in the world.

Not at all. In any moment...

I imagine you have been told
all kinds of things about me.

All bad.

Do not.

Really.

I'm a widower, I'm sure they told him.
They will also have told you

that my wife died while picking
you dwell to make me a cake,

that is the latest version
that circulates through the town.

Good...

none of them is true.

- Did not he choke?
- Do not.

In the sixth month
of our marriage,

both,
having been great friends,

We decided that a friendly separation
It would be the most convenient.

He lives in London.

I have not seen her in 45 years,
but, as far as I know,

he is still very healthy.

Although, it seems to be

that has gained enough weight.

He always loved sweets.

Although I do not remember
to make a cake in his life.

I guess for people
of Hardborough is more picturesque

imagine a Holt House
inhabited by a widower in mourning.

As you already know,
Literature has done a lot of damage.

Those blessed Bronte sisters,
for example,

of which
has not included any copies

in those packages that you sent me,
something I thank you immensely.

I imagined that I would have read them.

One of Gipping's daughters, the third,

He lends a hand in the store, I think.

And that is the only help
What do you have available?

I have an accountant
that comes from time to time,

and then there is my lawyer.

Tom Thornton.
He will not get very far with that.

I do not have a special affection
by Mr. Thornton.

You see, Mr. Brundish,

it assumes a certain responsibility
bring a bookstore

I guess yes.

Especially when he does not approve
all the world.

There are certain people

that are quite upset
for his bookstore.

Mrs. Green, I mean Violet Gamart,

who had other plans
for Old House

and now it seems
have felt offended by something.

I'm sure that...

He has good intentions.

Good intentions? Violet Gamart?

That harpy?

Wants...

a center for the arts.

What the hell do you need this town for?
a center for the arts?

And how can art have a center?

But she thinks she does need it
and that's why he wants to get rid of you.

And it will not stop

Until I get it.

Can not do that.

It's my bookstore. It's my home.

People like Violet Gamart

They have done me the way I am, Mrs. Green.

Thanks to your contacts and acquaintances,

Mrs. Gamart is a woman
very powerful Does not that worry you?

Do not.

Could we go back
to the reason for my visit?

I'm thinking about doing
a first order of Lolita ...

of 250 copies,
which is a considerable risk.

Of course, I'm not asking you for advice on
the financial part, it would not be good.

The only thing I want to know,
before placing the order,

is if you think it's a good book

and if it seems good
Sell it in Hardborough.

I guess I do not give it that much importance
like you

to the notions of good and evil.

I read Lolita,
just as you asked me.

It is a good book,

so you should try selling it
to the people of Hardborough.

They will not understand, but better that way.

Understanding things makes the mind
become lazy

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Brundish.

Well, I have given my opinion.

Let me tell you
what is it that I admire

of the human beings.

What I value most

it is the virtue that they share
with the gods and with the animals,

and to which, therefore,
I will not refer to it again as a virtue.

I speak of ...

courage.

And you, Mrs. Green ...

It has that quality in abundance.

I would like...

I'd like to help.

You make me believe ...

once again, in things ...

In things I thought forgotten.

Thanks for the tea, Mr. Brundish.
Everything was delicious.

Well, please ...

come back whenever you want

And good luck with Lolita.

Yes thanks.

I do not have to worry,
"While there is life there is hope".

God! What a horrifying thought.

Yes!

Thank you...

for your advice, Mr. Brundish.

Charmed.

Do you know if El vino del estío
It will arrive soon?

You do not know how much I appreciate you

let me know
to Ray Bradbury.

I'll send it to you with Wally.

Or, maybe, I'll bring it ...

myself.

Good...

I would like that very much.

We have never had so much
of the same thing.

How long it is!

This book is already famous, Christine.
All the people have heard about him.

Although I do not think they expected
I can buy it here in Hardborough.

What they will not expect
It is to find 250 copies.

He has lost his mind with this one!

THE NOVEL
THAT SCANDALIZES THE WORLD

"September 4, 1959.

Dear Mrs. Green,

I have in my possession
a letter from John Drury & Co.,

legal representative
from Mrs. Violet Gamart, from The Stead ...

in which it is indicated
that the current appearance of your storefront

is attracting unwanted attention

of potential and real customers.

Your client ensures, at the same time,

who feels personally aggrieved

by the fact that she,
as a judge of peace

and chair of several committees,
List is attached,

have to make your purchase
at full speed".

"Dear Mr. Thornton.

He has been my lawyer for several years,
so I infer that 'represent me'

means' intercede for me
strongly'.

Have you deigned to even
to see the showcase by itself? "

"Dear Mrs. Green.

In response to his missive
from September 5,

I have tried twice
approaching your window,

but it has been impossible for me. "

- It is understood?
- Yes, Mrs. Green.

"Dear Mr. Thornton.

So,
What exactly do you advise me?

Sincerely, Florence Green. "

"We should put
to the agglomerations,

prevent your customers from meeting
in the narrowest area of the High Street,

before it comes
some complaint

And I also think
what should we put

for the sale of this novel
banal and sensationalist by V. Nabokov,

that has raised so many complaints. "

"Dear Mr. Thornton.

A good book is the precious distillation
of a teacher's soul,

embalmed and preserved to reach
a life beyond life,

so it is, undoubtedly,
an article of first necessity.

Sincerely, Florence Green. "

"Dear Mrs.

Regarding your request
of an express prohibition

what concerns
to Mrs. Florence Green ...

We are sorry to inform you that,

We are sorry to inform you that,
after having been duly advised,

It would be convenient
put aside this matter,

since the local police has put a brake
to the aforementioned agglomerations.

My deepest apologies,
Mrs. Gamart. "

Why do not you come to London?

Living in London is the worst!
You know what I think of people.

Look at this, it's beautiful!

I'm not going to stay here!

What do you mean? Where are you going?

My God!

You always get angry,
like a girl.

I have told you...

I'm sick of people like Violet!

- What?
- I can not take it anymore, Milo!

Wait. Be careful,
do not give a slip!

Wait!

What are you doing sitting there, Florence?

I do not know why I go for a walk,
It's a retired thing.

- And I should go to work.
- Does it leave me a little room?

- Yeah right.
- I'm Kattie, Mrs. Green.

Milo has told me a lot about you.

Kattie did not believe there were places
pretty in Hardborough,

so I brought her here
so you can see them.

What are you doing at the BBC, Kattie?

I work for the DPG.
The Department of Recorded Programs.

I control the expenses ...
It's not exactly fun.

We have been eating with Violet Gamart.

We have given him an opportunity
so that he does not disapprove of ours.

Mrs. Gamart has been very kind.

Well, not really.

I do not like nice people.

Except Florence.

Do not flatter me

I have the feeling
that every day you work less.

Remember that the BBC
it is a corporation

and that his salary
It leaves the public coffers.

Kattie deals with that.
You are in charge of my expense sheet.

Are not you cold, honey?
Maybe the time has come

that we retire
to our humble abode

and leave Florence alone,
sunk in your thoughts.

I think I stay a little longer.

- Unless it bothers you.
- Not at all.

Milo told me you're a widow.

Yes I am.

"Widow".

What a strange and dark word.
Do not you think?

My husband died...

16 years ago.

How did you meet?

We met in a bookstore.
In London.

We fell in love from the first moment.

We had to organize ...

Organize and sort together
the poetry section at Muller's.

I read aloud to me every night.

Pepys, George Eliot, Thackeray ...

"Never give a lady
a restless horse. "

We loved that!

We were so happy...

busy doing a million things
and doing nothing.

And then the war came.

But I still have all your letters.

And yet...

I can hear your voice in my head
when I read them

Milo did not do you justice
when he told me about you

Save me the opinions of Milo.
I do not want to know what you think of me.

I still do not know what you think of me!

Or if you feel something for me.

Or, what's more, if you feel something at all.

I guess that's part
of your style ...

keep you constantly in suspense.

You know what they say:

"With that kind of man you never know
if it hides a rich inner world or ...

absolutely nothing".

He will never read me out loud.

SOCIETY FOR PUBLIC ACCESS
TO PLACES OF INTEREST

Aunt Vi!

So your bill is already going
for the third reading. Excellent!

- And all thanks to your inspiration, aunt.
- What do you mean?

I came up with the idea during your party,
Last spring.

Your wonderful campaign
in favor of a center for the arts

I could get ahead
with a law like this.

And other communities
they could also benefit from ...

philanthropists like you.

I've only done
what he believed was right.

The Access Law
to Places of Public Value

will allow the city councils
acquire their historic buildings,

through expropriation,
to give them public use.

Is not it wonderful?

I'm sure your father smiles at us
right now proud from the sky.

I'm glad we've been
to eat today.

Just when the law has been passed!

Do you feel like eating fish?

I know a good place here nearby.

Living in Hardborough takes away your desire
to eat it in other places.

There is so cool!

True.

A cup of tea then?

Perfect!

Then I will continue
with what he was doing.

I have a sick friend
that needs my attention

You are a woman
So wonderful and generous, Aunt Vi.

Keep up the exercises, come on.

Okay, continue with the exercises.

You do not have to get up.

I'm the inspector.

It is not.

The truth is that I think
I do not know him

Mrs. Traill?

I'm Mr. Sheppard.

Be kind enough to examine
my card from the Ministry of Education,

authorizing me, in accordance
to the Trade Act of 1950,

to visit any school

where I suspect there are children

that besides studying
They do some kind of work.

Job? I assure
that everyone would love to work,

but apart from family businesses
and the distribution of newspapers,

What awaits them out there?
To all this...

I do not remember
have seen it before here.

Due to lack of personnel,

our visits are not
as frequent as we would like.

And who suggested he come?

Only one of them has a fixed job
after school.

Christine Gipping works regularly.

Where?

In the Old House bookshop.

Get up, Christine.

If you allow me.

- This is the girl.
- Miss, can you come with me?

Good day.

I do not want you to think
that I have something against you.

The law is the law.
That's what I wanted to tell you.

The experience is important.

But where can they get it?
to find job?

But we tell Christine
If you need references

he has only to come to you.

Yeah right. You just have to ask me.

Christine is a wonderful girl,
Mrs. Gipping, and ...

I have a lot of love

But now he will have the opportunity
to focus on their studies, what ...

But he does not want to stop making money.

No, of course, but I imagine that after
of what happened at school ...

We have been looking for options.

Maybe they hire her to work
Saturdays at the new bookstore.

New bookstore?

Yes, they will open it very soon.
You know, at Deben's place.

The fish shop.

I had no idea.

You must be aware of the competition,
Mrs. Green.

It will give you the references
Christine, right?

She did not know,

but the new library
it was not an initiative like yours,

but an investment
of the naive Lord Gosfield,

who followed the advice of the general
and Mrs. Gamart.

- Thanks for coming, Mrs. Green.
- There's no need, Mr. Keble.

Do you realize the scarcity
capital you have?

Yes. It's hard not to notice.

The situation of your business
It's gotten pretty bad, right?

I thought you would like to know that
There is a possible buyer for your store.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Keble ...

the store is not for sale.

Message received.

Thanks for coming.

It has been an incalculable help.

Good...

I'm going to miss you so much.

I do not want to leave, you know?

I do not want to work in the other bookstore.

My mother does not understand that ...

No Please.
You do not have to worry about that.

How can I not worry?

You can not wear this alone ...

and nobody will help her in this town.

Do not.

I will manage. Undoubtedly.
I will manage.

I hope you can come to visit
Some afternoon.

It will not give me time.

If not.

Unclear. You will be busy.

I have something for you.

You will not have to wait
until my funeral.

You are very kind, Mrs. Green.

Bloody friendly!

Good evening, Florence.
Mrs. Green.

Mr. Brundish.

How are things going down there?

I think you're already aware, right?

So is. I know some things.

What are you going to do?

Do?

The only thing I can do

Yes.

Do not.

Move on.

That's what I was going to do.

Florence ...

I would have loved it
meet her in another moment of my life.

In another life, in fact.

But I'm going to do ...

what little is in my hand
To help her.

Mr. Brundish, it's ...

It's very comforting to hear that, and ...

I am very grateful with you. I...

Should not...

There is nothing that can ...

I will talk to her. I'll talk to that woman.

Maybe listen to my ...

Maybe it ends
to this hateful persecution.

Would he really do that?

Really?

Will it come out of its isolation for me?

Of course.

I do not know if it will do much,
but I'm willing to do it.

I could shoot him, without more, but ...

I do not think you would like that.

I do not know how I can thank you. That...

That's him...

nobler gesture
that nobody has had with me.

It works too much, Florence.

I try to concentrate.

Leave them there. They just arrived
and I have not reviewed them yet.

Success arrives
if one gives everything he has.

I do not see why.

Everyone gives everything they have,
sooner or later.

We all die.
It can not be said that dying is a success.

Is too young
to think about death.

Kattie may pat her.

- Spend so much energy.
- How's Kattie?

No idea.

In fact, he has left me.

He has gone to live with someone else.

To Wantage.

She...

He works in World Service.

I'm opening my heart.

We are sharing
a special moment, right?

He will have told you
to everyone who would like to listen to you.

But it concerns you,
especially,

because now I will have
much more free time.

I will be able to work here,
at half-time, as his assistant.

He must miss the girl.

Christine learned a lot here

and he was extremely kind
with the clients.

Not as much as I can be.

So...

How much can you pay me?

I gave 12.5 shillings per week
to Christine.

I can not offer more now.

If you are interested in the work,
come in the afternoon

for some weeks,
as a trial period.

But remember that I did not offer
the job, you asked for it yourself.

Has anyone told you
who has wonderful ankles?

Do you never shut up?

Go home!

OPEN

CLOSED

"Pour out your love, oh, scorching brightness!

Since one night or the next,
the white gardener will come,

and the flowers collected dead are. "

Christine

Very much, Mr. North.

What unpleasant expressions
they teach you in that school!

I have not come to see people ...

of his ilk.

Why?

Why do not you help Ms. Green?

I miss you.

He has you, right?
It is always coming and going.

They say he can not
continue with the bookstore.

- "They say"? Who says it? Your?
- You know very well who.

- They have other plans for Old House.
- What do you care, tadpole?

They say he can not keep it,

so they will go for it.
They will take you to court.

He must swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Well, let's hope it does not come to that.

I never had time to sit down
when he was his assistant.

No wonder! You are a girl...

or a woman

Neither of you knows how to relax.

A lot ojito.

I have come to take this. It belongs to my mother.

Thank you.

Give me a moment.

What a pleasant surprise,
Mr. Brundish.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

I come to ask you something.

I do not know if it's the most correct way
to do it,

but I can not think of a better one.

If you are not willing to listen to me,
tell me now.

Would you like a tea?

I do not want your tea.

I want you to leave Florence Green alone.

- Did she ask you to come see me?
- Absolutely.

It's just a woman
who wants to have a bookstore

If Ms. Green has any complaint
I should talk to a lawyer.

Although I think it is quite given
to change legal counsel.

The bookstore has drafts,
It is impossible to mortgage it and it is humid.

Leave her alone.
That woman has not done anything to him.

Have not you considered,
that must have a great interest

for the welfare
and the future of this place,

that could be put to better use
to a building of such historic interest?

That something is old does not mean
that has historical interest,

if not you and I would be
much more interesting than we are.

I tell you again, I want you to leave in peace
to my friend Florence Green!

In peace!

From what you see,
her friend has broken the law,

something that I could observe myself
on several occasions

If it has been like this, I can not interfere
in the matter. The law will run its course.

Do you mean a law
that did not exist a year ago

and that the parliament approved
behind our backs?

I am referring to an expropriation order,

or eviction,
that is the appropriate term.

Did you tell your beloved nephew
who will write that law?

I will not deny that my nephew's law
may affect the library,

since it is essential that the property
It has been empty for five years.

That would be applicable, without a doubt,
to Old House.

But there are so many rules that should be taken
in consideration, Mr. Brundish.

Simple mortals like me
and, of course, you,

We would not know where to start.
I'm in politics

and therefore,
I'm familiar with the bureaucracy,

but this completely surpasses me.

We would not even know
what person should we write to?

Ma'am, I know perfectly well
Who to write

During the last years,
If I had not found out,

I would have lost
hundreds of acres of marsh,

farmland and two mills.

That's why I'm sure that if not
nothing has been done so far,

we can still face common
Against them.

Certainly, we can think
in ways to facilitate the change,

if it finally occurs.

There are still many other sites
To rent

in towns larger than Hardborough.

I'm not talking about that!

I should talk about what I'm talking about!

I wish I could do something more.

Then I suppose
who does not plan to do anything

You should not talk to me like that, Mr. Brundish.

He does not realize what he says.

You must think
that I am a horrible person.

Is that?

I can not answer that question
with a "yes" or "no".

With "horrible" I guess he wants
say "unexpectedly offensive",

and it is true that it has been
quite offensive, but also ...

disgusting, Mrs. Gamart.

So he has behaved
exactly as I expected.

OPEN

THE WINE OF THE STYLE

Good afternoon, general.

You do not want a book, do you?

Not quite.

I just came to say:

"He has left us a good man."

I think he knew pretty well
Edmund Brundish, is not it?

Yes, in a certain way.

I never crossed word with him.

He was in the Great War, of course ...

but not in the Suffolk.

I think he enlisted
in the Air Force.

I wanted to fly.

How weird.

It is very rare that he came to visit us
just that morning.

I would like to talk to his wife,
I imagine.

Yes, he is right.

Violet told me everything.

He made a great effort to go see her ...

to congratulate him on his idea.

I mean the center for the arts.

It's a pity I did not have
the opportunity to talk to him.

I must say
that I never would have imagined

that he was interested in art.

But well ...

He has left us a good man.

Anyone could suffer an attack like that,

if you stop to think about it.

You must not be late
to your lunch, general.

Leave my house and never come back.

And please...

never come back,
you or your wife, to slander

to a man who had more dignity ...

sensitivity...

and compassion that they will never have
either of you.

Never again pronounce your name.

And forget about mine.

But she...

Violet ...

Go away!

So yes I have been evicted
by the city of Flintmarket.

As we told you during
our last phone conversation,

a new parliamentary law
authorizes Flintmarket City Council

to take possession of Old House.

Yes.

I would like to know, if possible,

where did the Town Hall come from?
the funds needed to kick me out.

Apparently,
They have found a benefactor.

What worries me is if Old House
will be declared habitable or not.

If it turns out that it is not appropriate
to be inhabited by humans

or that there is a danger of sinking,
It will be impossible to ask for compensation.

You will not get a penny.

I am inhabiting it
and I'm still human.

And it's not so wet.

There is little humidity
in summer and mid-winter ...

This is from a basement inspection.

Indicates that the property is settled
about an inch of water.

Excuse me, what inspection?

I was not informed
of no inspection.

Apparently, on several occasions,
when you were not on the property,

an expert in masonry and plastering,
Mr. John Gipping,

It was sent by the City Council

to inspect the state
of the walls and the basement.

John Gipping? Christine's father?

We assume that he entered peacefully.

I do not remember letting him in.

Your assistant, Mr. Milo North.

Presumably
who acted as his employee

and that he followed his instructions.

Has something?

What comment?

What places us
in a difficult situation

is that Mr. North
He has also signed a statement,

according to which the humidity level
of property has affected your health.

This prevents him from accepting
any type of normal work.

Why?

There is no reason why.

They insisted a lot,
so, you know ...

Simply, I thought:
"Better that I do it."

If you are looking for a new assistant,
I think Christine is available.

He no longer works in the new library.

He tried to sell Lolita to the parish priest!

Florence!

Mrs. Green! Mrs. Green!

- Christine.
- Mrs. Green.

Mrs. Green.

Goodbye.

For many years,

I will remember how he tried to smile
to see the book I had in my hands.

Then, he realized

of what I had done.

He had fulfilled his dream

and they had taken it away.

But what she possessed deep inside

it was something that nobody
I could never take it off:

your courage

And it was that courage
and his passion for books

what left me of legacy,

together with the Chinese enameled tray.

How right I was when he said

that one never feels alone

in a bookstore.
