Secret Diaries Of Miss Anne Lister The
|
| 00:00:04 |
(Birdsong) |
| 00:00:16 |
(Wind whistling, grass rustling) |
| 00:00:35 |
(Anne ) There is one thing that I wish for. |
| 00:00:41 |
There is one thing without which my happiness |
| 00:00:47 |
I was not born to live alone. |
| 00:00:50 |
I must have someone with me, |
| 00:00:53 |
and in loving and being loved... |
| 00:00:58 |
I could be happy. |
| 00:01:04 |
Annie! |
| 00:01:29 |
A thousand recollections crowd on me |
| 00:01:32 |
in my own secret alphabet. |
| 00:01:35 |
Surely no one has ever doted |
| 00:01:39 |
I love her, |
| 00:01:41 |
and her heart is mine. |
| 00:01:44 |
(Quiet chatter) |
| 00:01:50 |
(Whooping and laughing) |
| 00:02:06 |
- Ah, Miss Lister. |
| 00:02:10 |
everyone, for my late arrival. |
| 00:02:12 |
No matter. |
| 00:02:16 |
Mr Charles Lawton of Lawton Hall, Cheshire. |
| 00:02:19 |
Miss Anne Lister of Shibden Hall, Halifax. |
| 00:02:23 |
A pleasure, miss. |
| 00:02:25 |
His wife recently died. Most tragic. |
| 00:02:27 |
Oh. My sympathies, Mr Lawton. |
| 00:02:31 |
I hope you will find solace amongst us. |
| 00:02:36 |
Good to see you at last. |
| 00:02:39 |
You haven't missed much - a pair of |
| 00:02:43 |
Oh, Tib, you must be the only person here |
| 00:02:50 |
Mrs Priestley is about another sport. |
| 00:02:59 |
(Anne ) Such a fine-figured gentleman, |
| 00:03:03 |
(Both chuckle ) |
| 00:03:05 |
I wonder where Mrs Priestley dug him up. |
| 00:03:08 |
He's an old friend of my father's. |
| 00:03:13 |
Apparently he has 6,000 a year. |
| 00:03:16 |
Ah. |
| 00:03:17 |
So it's you and your sisters |
| 00:03:22 |
And do we know how his wife died? |
| 00:03:26 |
Perhaps he squashed her to death. |
| 00:03:28 |
(Both laugh) |
| 00:03:42 |
Come on. |
| 00:03:53 |
(Both giggle ) |
| 00:03:55 |
(Anne moans ) |
| 00:03:58 |
Are you sure it's safe? |
| 00:04:00 |
From all but the eyes of God. |
| 00:04:15 |
Oh, Freddie. |
| 00:04:18 |
You give the best kisses. |
| 00:04:25 |
(Moaning and laughing) |
| 00:04:28 |
I can live upon hope. |
| 00:04:33 |
You cannot doubt the love of one |
| 00:04:38 |
I will be constant |
| 00:04:40 |
and never feel a wish for any other. |
| 00:04:48 |
(Anne ) You will come to Shibden. |
| 00:04:51 |
I will have to save and save |
| 00:04:56 |
We will sleep in the blue room |
| 00:05:00 |
It'll be like some exotic tent in Arabia. |
| 00:05:03 |
I do love you... |
| 00:05:06 |
What is it? |
| 00:05:09 |
Well, we'll need servants to fan us. |
| 00:05:13 |
It gets hot in a tent. |
| 00:05:15 |
I'll fan you, day and night. |
| 00:05:27 |
(Piano playing) |
| 00:05:33 |
# Wilt thou think of me, love |
| 00:05:38 |
# When thou art far away? |
| 00:05:43 |
# Oh, I'll think of thee, love |
| 00:05:48 |
# Never, never stray |
| 00:05:53 |
- Miss Lister, forgive me, please. |
| 00:05:56 |
But, everybody, we have some happy news. |
| 00:05:58 |
The lovely Mariana Belcombe |
| 00:06:03 |
(Women gasping and laughing) |
| 00:06:05 |
(Excited chatter) |
| 00:06:07 |
Anne? |
| 00:06:09 |
(Woman ) Congratulations! |
| 00:06:14 |
- I wanted to tell you. |
| 00:06:17 |
- Nothing need change. |
| 00:06:19 |
- You're hurting me. |
| 00:06:21 |
Remember yourself. |
| 00:06:24 |
Come, dear. |
| 00:06:26 |
We need to have a toast. |
| 00:06:29 |
Everybody, to the future mistress |
| 00:06:32 |
- The mistress of Lawton Hall! |
| 00:06:36 |
I'm so happy for you, my dear. |
| 00:06:41 |
(Sobbing) |
| 00:06:54 |
(Birdsong) |
| 00:07:06 |
(Distant church bells) |
| 00:07:22 |
(Aunt) So, brother, do you think |
| 00:07:24 |
(Uncle ) We'll come straight back if not. |
| 00:07:27 |
(Anne ) I have made up my mind |
| 00:07:29 |
to free myself from the tyranny of fashion. |
| 00:07:32 |
But today? |
| 00:07:34 |
Yes, Aunt, today. |
| 00:07:36 |
(Bells ringing) |
| 00:07:39 |
I charge you both, as ye will answer |
| 00:07:43 |
when the secrets of all hearts will be disclosed, |
| 00:07:46 |
if either of you know any impediment |
| 00:07:50 |
ye must now confess it. |
| 00:07:55 |
Wilt thou have this woman |
| 00:07:58 |
I will. |
| 00:08:00 |
Wilt thou have this man |
| 00:08:03 |
I will. |
| 00:08:08 |
(Bells ringing, quiet chatter) |
| 00:08:09 |
(Mariana ) Thank you for coming. |
| 00:08:11 |
- Lovely to see you. |
| 00:08:16 |
Anne. |
| 00:08:17 |
Mrs Lawton. |
| 00:08:20 |
- How remarkable you look. |
| 00:08:23 |
it's preferable to being commonplace. |
| 00:08:26 |
We'll still see each other. |
| 00:08:29 |
I'll write. |
| 00:08:31 |
Why? |
| 00:08:40 |
- Are you coming, Anne? |
| 00:08:42 |
Walk? |
| 00:09:00 |
(Sobbing) |
| 00:09:36 |
(Knock on door) |
| 00:09:51 |
We're worried about you, Anne. |
| 00:09:53 |
You've not had a proper meal in weeks. |
| 00:09:57 |
Should I send for the leech woman? |
| 00:09:59 |
- No. |
| 00:10:03 |
I'm quite well. |
| 00:10:05 |
Well, you don't look it. |
| 00:10:07 |
Nothing of you, you're wasting away. |
| 00:10:11 |
I know what it's like |
| 00:10:15 |
Be your turn soon, |
| 00:10:17 |
if you make an effort. |
| 00:10:24 |
(Clock chiming five ) |
| 00:10:30 |
(Breathes deeply) |
| 00:10:37 |
(Sighs ) |
| 00:10:57 |
I must no longer think of Mariana. |
| 00:11:05 |
I shall devote myself to study |
| 00:11:07 |
and to literature, |
| 00:11:09 |
and become more eminent |
| 00:11:13 |
and everyone hereabouts. |
| 00:11:16 |
If I once give way to idleness, |
| 00:11:20 |
(Ticking) |
| 00:11:27 |
(Candle fizzles ) |
| 00:11:31 |
Bugger. |
| 00:11:34 |
(Birdsong) |
| 00:11:39 |
(Door closes, footsteps in hall) |
| 00:11:49 |
Nothing for you, Anne. |
| 00:12:00 |
Good girl. |
| 00:12:03 |
And how have you employed yourself |
| 00:12:06 |
Mostly with Demosthenes. |
| 00:12:10 |
Oh, you're that proficient. |
| 00:12:13 |
I'm a better Grecian now than I ever was. |
| 00:12:17 |
Should you eat so much, |
| 00:12:20 |
Nonsense, sister. Best thing for her. |
| 00:12:24 |
I've decided to publish, |
| 00:12:26 |
and as I have yet to settle on a subject |
| 00:12:30 |
I wish for a name in the world. |
| 00:12:33 |
A husband's name |
| 00:12:57 |
One year, |
| 00:12:58 |
still no word. |
| 00:13:02 |
O that I had a fit companion |
| 00:13:14 |
What if I should, by and by, |
| 00:13:20 |
Such is our imperfect nature |
| 00:13:22 |
that dissipation may prove |
| 00:13:27 |
(Organ playing) |
| 00:13:28 |
# Rock of Ages cleft for me |
| 00:13:34 |
# Let me hide myself in Thee |
| 00:13:40 |
# Let the water and the blood |
| 00:13:45 |
# From Thy wounded side which flowed |
| 00:13:51 |
# Be of sin the double cure |
| 00:13:57 |
# Save from wrath and make me pure # |
| 00:14:07 |
How did you find the sermon, Aunt? |
| 00:14:09 |
I fear I slept through most of it. |
| 00:14:12 |
It was rather dullish. |
| 00:14:18 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:14:20 |
Miss Lister, isn't it? |
| 00:14:22 |
- I believe you dropped this. |
| 00:14:25 |
How kind. |
| 00:14:26 |
It was my mother's. |
| 00:14:30 |
- Miss...? |
| 00:14:32 |
Miss Browne. Delighted. |
| 00:14:35 |
(Giggling) |
| 00:14:37 |
This is my mother. |
| 00:14:39 |
(Giggling) Miss Lister, how humbled |
| 00:14:44 |
It's a pleasure...to make the acquaintance |
| 00:14:48 |
(Mrs Browne giggles ) |
| 00:15:15 |
Miss Browne! |
| 00:15:19 |
Thought I spied a suspicious bonnet. Ha! |
| 00:15:22 |
Erm, are you all right? |
| 00:15:26 |
Must be the sight of you. |
| 00:15:30 |
You must take my arm and steady me. |
| 00:15:33 |
Do I scare you? |
| 00:15:36 |
You...have such a penetrating countenance. |
| 00:15:39 |
Well, sometimes I'm more anxious |
| 00:15:44 |
Oh, forgive my demeanour. I have thought |
| 00:15:49 |
Thinking of me often |
| 00:15:52 |
- augurs well. |
| 00:15:55 |
Why, our great friendship, of course. |
| 00:15:59 |
Tell me. Do you like the poetry of Byron? |
| 00:16:02 |
Oh, yes. Perhaps too well. |
| 00:16:06 |
Then already we have something in common. |
| 00:16:08 |
(Both chuckle ) |
| 00:16:12 |
- (Horse neighs ) |
| 00:16:14 |
(Anne ) I hope you will accept this |
| 00:16:17 |
Byron's Don Juan. |
| 00:16:21 |
- I've written in it. |
| 00:16:24 |
''To fair Callista.'' |
| 00:16:28 |
It derives from the Greek |
| 00:16:32 |
Oh, you have a romantic nature. |
| 00:16:35 |
I find a slight tincture of romance |
| 00:16:37 |
makes one more agreeable, don't you think? |
| 00:16:40 |
Oh, yes, most definitely. |
| 00:16:41 |
Though with your manners and kind attentions, |
| 00:16:45 |
I can't help wishing you were a gent. |
| 00:16:48 |
Wish away. |
| 00:16:51 |
Isn't that Miss Lister? |
| 00:17:02 |
We rarely see you these days, Miss Lister. |
| 00:17:06 |
I am devoting myself to my studies. |
| 00:17:09 |
Greek and Latin, mostly. |
| 00:17:11 |
To what purpose? |
| 00:17:12 |
Well, my only pleasure |
| 00:17:17 |
Only pleasure? |
| 00:17:21 |
It seems you make an exception |
| 00:17:25 |
Ah, well, I walk with her occasionally. |
| 00:17:28 |
She's interesting, |
| 00:17:30 |
and gentle with her manners. |
| 00:17:32 |
I understand her father's in trade. |
| 00:17:36 |
How did you come to know such a girl?. |
| 00:17:38 |
We scraped an acquaintance at church. |
| 00:17:42 |
Can you name your sentiment |
| 00:17:48 |
Perfect esteem. |
| 00:17:52 |
(Ladies chuckling quietly) |
| 00:17:56 |
You're an odd one, Anne. |
| 00:17:59 |
the most natural person I know. |
| 00:18:03 |
But that Nature was in an odd freak |
| 00:18:06 |
(Giggling) |
| 00:18:08 |
That is fair. |
| 00:18:10 |
I always consult my...inclination. |
| 00:18:14 |
I find cultivating |
| 00:18:18 |
makes life more agreeable to us all. |
| 00:18:23 |
Er, oh... Why, Mrs Rawson, |
| 00:18:25 |
I was meaning to say how the... |
| 00:18:29 |
well, it's most complimentary to your face. |
| 00:18:32 |
Oh... |
| 00:18:33 |
(Clock chimes four) |
| 00:18:38 |
(Aunt) Anne? |
| 00:18:40 |
Oh! |
| 00:18:44 |
A letter for me? |
| 00:18:45 |
From Miss Norcliffe, I believe. |
| 00:18:47 |
Why do you persist |
| 00:18:51 |
Pistol is not becoming to a lady. |
| 00:18:55 |
- Tib's coming to visit. |
| 00:18:59 |
(Birdsong) |
| 00:19:02 |
(Laughing) |
| 00:19:07 |
Give... Give me that. |
| 00:19:09 |
Only if you name your sentiment |
| 00:19:12 |
Give it to me, Tib, or you can leave now. |
| 00:19:17 |
Oh, don't get in a pother. |
| 00:19:20 |
I couldn't understand half of it. |
| 00:19:22 |
You obviously put the interesting bits in code. |
| 00:19:27 |
(Sniffs ) |
| 00:19:29 |
Bits about Mariana. |
| 00:19:32 |
She's of no concern to me. |
| 00:19:34 |
So you don't want to know |
| 00:19:44 |
And? |
| 00:19:46 |
All goes swimmingly. |
| 00:19:49 |
Apparently Mariana's quite taken to Cheshire |
| 00:19:53 |
and her big house |
| 00:19:55 |
and all the finery money can buy. |
| 00:19:58 |
Then let her stay there. |
| 00:20:01 |
- Has she written? |
| 00:20:03 |
I told her not to. |
| 00:20:06 |
Good. |
| 00:20:08 |
She's an unfaithful friend. |
| 00:20:10 |
She stole you from me. |
| 00:20:12 |
Betrayed you with Charles. |
| 00:20:14 |
We're both better off without her. |
| 00:20:19 |
And she's not as pretty |
| 00:20:25 |
So, tell me about your Miss Browne. |
| 00:20:29 |
Have you kissed her? |
| 00:20:32 |
- No. |
| 00:20:33 |
Well, do you think you can mould her... |
| 00:20:36 |
in the amatory way? |
| 00:20:39 |
(Groans ) |
| 00:20:41 |
I don't know. |
| 00:20:43 |
She's pretty, but she's an innocent |
| 00:20:47 |
and, I fear, stupidish. |
| 00:20:49 |
- Well, perfect for a dalliance. |
| 00:20:52 |
But I'm too busy with my studies. |
| 00:20:56 |
and afternoons with French and algebra. |
| 00:21:00 |
Algebra? |
| 00:21:01 |
- Algebra?! |
| 00:21:04 |
If I can fit it in. |
| 00:21:06 |
And what with flute and pistol practice, |
| 00:21:09 |
there's barely any time over. |
| 00:21:12 |
And when was the last time... |
| 00:21:15 |
- anyone played on your flute? |
| 00:21:18 |
(Anne ) Hmm... |
| 00:21:20 |
It is a lonely existence, to be sure. |
| 00:21:25 |
How about a kiss from Tib? Hmm? |
| 00:21:28 |
It might do you some good. |
| 00:21:31 |
(Anne ) Hmm. |
| 00:21:40 |
I won't hold you to anything. |
| 00:21:45 |
I'm yours... (Gasps ) |
| 00:21:48 |
- ..for the taking. |
| 00:21:50 |
- (Groaning, laughing) |
| 00:21:54 |
you are good to me. |
| 00:22:03 |
Sorry, Anne. |
| 00:22:05 |
Miss Browne, Miss Norcliffe, |
| 00:22:08 |
my oldest and dearest friend. |
| 00:22:13 |
- A pleasure. |
| 00:22:18 |
(Tib) Mmm. |
| 00:22:22 |
The house was built as long ago as 1420. |
| 00:22:25 |
Listers have owned it |
| 00:22:28 |
I have every hope in succeeding my uncle |
| 00:22:33 |
(Miss Browne ) You'll need to produce an heir. |
| 00:22:36 |
(Anne ) I can more easily find one. |
| 00:22:38 |
Marriage isn't for everyone, Miss Browne. |
| 00:22:41 |
I have in mind to settle |
| 00:22:45 |
Someone like Miss Norcliffe? |
| 00:22:47 |
Or someone else...who suits me. |
| 00:22:51 |
(Sighs ) Sounds like the recipe |
| 00:22:54 |
(Anne chuckles ) |
| 00:22:56 |
Ah, Anne won't let anyone through here |
| 00:23:21 |
It's true, it's... |
| 00:23:23 |
it's an old game of mine. |
| 00:23:31 |
Oh! |
| 00:23:35 |
Our kissing is...such an odd thing. |
| 00:23:38 |
People say such queer things about it. |
| 00:23:40 |
Well, there's kissing... |
| 00:23:43 |
and there's kissing. |
| 00:23:45 |
You have paid your tariff, Miss Browne. |
| 00:24:09 |
I immerse myself in study. |
| 00:24:11 |
Miss Browne may look very pretty, |
| 00:24:13 |
but excepting her good looks |
| 00:24:17 |
She seems innocent and unknowing |
| 00:24:22 |
I'm close to a subject, Aunt. |
| 00:24:27 |
Haven't you and your uncle |
| 00:24:30 |
Why don't you spend your allowance |
| 00:24:34 |
Or a bit of lace. |
| 00:24:48 |
(Mariana ) My dearest Freddie, |
| 00:24:51 |
I barely know how to start. |
| 00:24:55 |
I cannot justly account for so long a silence, |
| 00:24:58 |
especially as I think of you always. |
| 00:25:03 |
I so wish to get a sight of you. |
| 00:25:07 |
I realise any obligation you had to me |
| 00:25:13 |
but if you can find your way to Manchester |
| 00:25:17 |
I shall be there unaccompanied |
| 00:25:22 |
en route from York. |
| 00:25:25 |
Perhaps you have found another. |
| 00:25:28 |
I would understand, |
| 00:25:30 |
though it would break my heart. |
| 00:25:53 |
Miss Lister. Just in time. |
| 00:25:57 |
We have mutton chops and gooseberry tart. |
| 00:26:01 |
(Cutlery clacking on plates ) |
| 00:26:11 |
You're very quiet for two ladies |
| 00:26:20 |
Are you not hungry, Miss Lister? |
| 00:26:23 |
No. |
| 00:26:25 |
I'm sure Anne's tired after her journey. |
| 00:26:27 |
Oh, no doubt. |
| 00:26:30 |
Shockingly bad road, that, from Halifax. |
| 00:26:34 |
Last time I went that way |
| 00:26:36 |
it was full of pools of water |
| 00:26:40 |
Well, if I was inclined to bathing. |
| 00:26:45 |
Forgive me. I feel suddenly unwell. |
| 00:27:05 |
- You said you would be alone. |
| 00:27:10 |
- I can't possibly stay. |
| 00:27:14 |
I've missed you so. |
| 00:27:17 |
Haven't you missed me? |
| 00:27:23 |
Why didn't you write? |
| 00:27:27 |
What could I say? |
| 00:27:35 |
(Knocking) |
| 00:27:38 |
Will you be wanting your mutton chops? |
| 00:27:42 |
You have them. |
| 00:27:45 |
I hope you're feeling better, Miss Lister. |
| 00:27:48 |
I'm going to sit with her awhile. |
| 00:27:50 |
Oh. Quite right. |
| 00:27:57 |
- How often are you connected with him? |
| 00:28:01 |
Do you get pleasure from it? |
| 00:28:05 |
Do you? |
| 00:28:07 |
Only through thinking of you. |
| 00:28:09 |
- Then you do get pleasure from it. |
| 00:28:12 |
- You've no idea what I suffer. |
| 00:28:19 |
You chose him! You were no innocent. |
| 00:28:24 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:28:27 |
I'm sorry! |
| 00:28:28 |
Let's not waste this precious time. |
| 00:28:34 |
You broke my heart. |
| 00:28:44 |
(Mariana ) ''Knowing Mariana |
| 00:28:48 |
Ruin. |
| 00:28:50 |
I'm out of practice with your crypt hand. |
| 00:28:54 |
''..the ruin of my health and happiness. |
| 00:28:58 |
''What is her match but legal... |
| 00:29:03 |
''prostitution?'' |
| 00:29:06 |
Forgive me. I was angry. |
| 00:29:10 |
I was wrong to do it. |
| 00:29:12 |
We were both wrong - |
| 00:29:15 |
It's true, everything you say, |
| 00:29:19 |
I know you do. |
| 00:29:21 |
That's the worst of it. |
| 00:29:33 |
What are we to do? |
| 00:29:39 |
Charles is not a young man. |
| 00:29:43 |
He does not live well, you can see that. |
| 00:29:47 |
We could plan for the future. |
| 00:29:50 |
- I tried that once. |
| 00:29:53 |
with independent means and respectability. |
| 00:29:57 |
A widow and her companion. |
| 00:29:59 |
Oh, I want you with me at Shibden, |
| 00:30:03 |
by my side always. |
| 00:30:07 |
And when Charles dies... |
| 00:30:14 |
When God grants it... |
| 00:30:17 |
I shall. |
| 00:30:20 |
I promise. |
| 00:30:23 |
To be my wife? |
| 00:30:26 |
As you were my true husband. |
| 00:30:50 |
Are you, er, both to be married? |
| 00:30:54 |
(Mariana ) Yes. |
| 00:31:00 |
Wrap and send these to the Albion. |
| 00:31:22 |
Consider it an engagement. |
| 00:31:25 |
The day you come to live with me |
| 00:31:28 |
we shall wear these rings on our fingers. |
| 00:31:33 |
(Charles talking outside ) |
| 00:31:35 |
Perhaps I could come and see you |
| 00:31:40 |
I'll make sure it's fit to be seen. |
| 00:31:43 |
And these. |
| 00:31:45 |
Our carriage is ready, my dear. |
| 00:31:47 |
Very well. |
| 00:31:51 |
Well, goodbye, Miss Lister. |
| 00:31:54 |
Stay on in the room until your coach leaves. |
| 00:31:56 |
Thank you, Mr Lawton. |
| 00:31:58 |
Might I... |
| 00:32:00 |
Oh. You ladies! |
| 00:32:07 |
- (Charles ) Did you get the other bag? |
| 00:32:26 |
Miss Lister? |
| 00:32:29 |
Oh, Miss Lister. |
| 00:32:32 |
- I've missed you. |
| 00:32:35 |
I thought of you all last night |
| 00:32:38 |
Then you mustn't think so much of me |
| 00:32:42 |
Are you going to be in town again soon? |
| 00:32:44 |
I'm not sure. My trip has given rise |
| 00:32:47 |
I understand. |
| 00:32:50 |
Call on me? |
| 00:32:57 |
You seem much improved for the trip, Anne. |
| 00:32:59 |
I do believe there's a little more |
| 00:33:01 |
Did me good, Aunt. |
| 00:33:06 |
I've had so many ideas |
| 00:33:09 |
I've been thinking about them |
| 00:33:11 |
Sit down a moment, Anne. |
| 00:33:12 |
What say you to a carriage drive to... |
| 00:33:15 |
At the moment one happens |
| 00:33:18 |
no time to luxuriate in anticipation. |
| 00:33:22 |
It's a house, Anne, |
| 00:33:25 |
It's our ancestral home, Uncle. |
| 00:33:27 |
We should be... We should be cultivating it |
| 00:33:31 |
with...with, well, woodland walks |
| 00:33:34 |
Please, Anne, sit down. |
| 00:33:41 |
There's something we, erm... |
| 00:33:44 |
we wish to discuss with you. |
| 00:33:48 |
What is it? |
| 00:33:51 |
Er, we've...we've been talking |
| 00:33:58 |
Well, your... |
| 00:33:59 |
your aunt's worried |
| 00:34:03 |
encourage suitors your way. |
| 00:34:07 |
And, as neither of us married, |
| 00:34:09 |
we're not wise as to what we should do. |
| 00:34:13 |
You've seemed so lonely of late. |
| 00:34:16 |
- Perhaps the time is right. |
| 00:34:19 |
I'm going to be so busy |
| 00:34:22 |
Shibden can look after itself, Anne. |
| 00:34:24 |
Walk in the grounds and you'll see it cannot. |
| 00:34:27 |
Perhaps if you had a suitor |
| 00:34:31 |
woodland walks. |
| 00:34:33 |
And perhaps if I had a woodland walk |
| 00:34:36 |
I'd have somewhere to take a suitor. |
| 00:34:40 |
(Distant bangs ) |
| 00:34:43 |
What is that? |
| 00:34:47 |
Your so-called progress. |
| 00:34:50 |
And I'll have none of it. |
| 00:34:58 |
I shall not be vexed. |
| 00:35:01 |
I shall, by and by, |
| 00:35:05 |
But now I know Mariana's heart is mine. |
| 00:35:11 |
Secluded as I am, |
| 00:35:13 |
- I have the means to happiness. |
| 00:35:16 |
(Humming) |
| 00:35:20 |
(Sighs ) |
| 00:35:26 |
Oh, damn. |
| 00:35:28 |
My hand's as cursed as... |
| 00:35:30 |
I have in mind to create |
| 00:35:33 |
- Hmm? |
| 00:35:35 |
- when one needs them. |
| 00:35:37 |
Er, your turn. |
| 00:35:40 |
As strong as Hercules. |
| 00:35:42 |
As licentious as Tiberius. |
| 00:35:47 |
You do not think it would be useful, |
| 00:35:51 |
For ladies with nothing better to do, perhaps. |
| 00:35:55 |
I have plenty to do. |
| 00:35:56 |
I merely strive for a little self-improvement. |
| 00:35:59 |
There are more useful improvements |
| 00:36:02 |
Oh, do tell. |
| 00:36:04 |
Judging by the explosions |
| 00:36:08 |
you're engaged in great struggles. |
| 00:36:11 |
Are you sinking another mine, Mr Rawson? |
| 00:36:13 |
As many as I can cram in. |
| 00:36:17 |
Miss Walker's father, God rest his soul, |
| 00:36:22 |
And who manages it now, Miss Walker? |
| 00:36:25 |
Her brother. |
| 00:36:28 |
Is it worth your while, Mr Rawson? |
| 00:36:31 |
It's like digging up money. |
| 00:36:33 |
The Walkers and I shall be rich. |
| 00:36:36 |
As rich as Midas. |
| 00:36:49 |
(Mariana ) My mind always turns to you |
| 00:36:52 |
and the prospect of a safe mooring. |
| 00:36:57 |
You will not, |
| 00:36:59 |
you cannot forget |
| 00:37:01 |
I am your constant, |
| 00:37:04 |
faithful, |
| 00:37:06 |
affectionate... |
| 00:37:11 |
Mr Rawson downstairs for you, miss. |
| 00:37:16 |
- Christopher Rawson's come to call. |
| 00:37:20 |
Has Uncle seen sense about coal mining? |
| 00:37:22 |
You'd better go and see. |
| 00:37:29 |
Mr Rawson. |
| 00:37:31 |
How funny you should come. |
| 00:37:33 |
I set myself a course of reading on geology |
| 00:37:36 |
Then I shall leave you two to... |
| 00:37:39 |
discuss it. |
| 00:37:44 |
Miss Lister. I hope you're well today. |
| 00:37:47 |
I am. Thank you. |
| 00:37:49 |
You look very...healthy. |
| 00:37:53 |
Sit down, Mr Rawson. |
| 00:37:55 |
Let's talk coal. |
| 00:37:58 |
It was your uncle put me in mind to come. |
| 00:38:00 |
He made me see how beneficial it might be. |
| 00:38:06 |
Your assets are rich and unexploited. |
| 00:38:09 |
Glad he's realised it at last. |
| 00:38:12 |
Our estates join each other. |
| 00:38:13 |
If they were to become one, |
| 00:38:18 |
I'd leave you all the time you wanted |
| 00:38:22 |
your uncle says you've a passion for landscape |
| 00:38:26 |
- In short, Miss Lister... |
| 00:38:28 |
- ..I've come to ask... |
| 00:38:30 |
I've come to ask you to marry me |
| 00:38:33 |
and join our two noble estates into one. |
| 00:38:38 |
(Clears throat) Mr... Mr Rawson, I, erm... |
| 00:38:41 |
I thank you for your interest, |
| 00:38:46 |
There is a...certain sentiment |
| 00:38:52 |
Love, I suppose. |
| 00:38:55 |
I couldn't possibly marry without it. |
| 00:38:58 |
Oh, you sound like a foolish girl. |
| 00:39:01 |
I'm giving you a chance to grow up |
| 00:39:03 |
and have a place in society. |
| 00:39:05 |
And I'm gratefully declining. |
| 00:39:13 |
You know, I came against my better judgment. |
| 00:39:16 |
Polite society cannot conceive |
| 00:39:21 |
but I move in other circles |
| 00:39:24 |
where people point at you, |
| 00:39:28 |
they say you like the ladies... |
| 00:39:30 |
perhaps too much. |
| 00:39:31 |
They say even worse |
| 00:39:34 |
Well, then you should count yourself lucky |
| 00:39:38 |
Presume it's all true, then? |
| 00:39:41 |
Presume what you wish. Good day. |
| 00:39:49 |
I myself think there is more to you |
| 00:40:15 |
I don't want a husband. |
| 00:40:21 |
I appreciate your efforts |
| 00:40:26 |
but you really don't have to bother. |
| 00:40:30 |
But, child, don't you want a husband |
| 00:40:38 |
I want my independence. |
| 00:40:40 |
I want to keep my name and... |
| 00:40:42 |
and I want to be a proud Lister |
| 00:40:47 |
Like you both. |
| 00:40:48 |
You are the model of how I wish to live. |
| 00:40:55 |
Well...as you wish. |
| 00:41:00 |
I shan't be lonely, Aunt. |
| 00:41:03 |
I hope to settle with a female companion. |
| 00:41:06 |
But who? |
| 00:41:08 |
Someone who suits me. |
| 00:41:10 |
There will be no fortune hunters, |
| 00:41:13 |
and the estate will be well cared for. |
| 00:41:16 |
I trust you, |
| 00:41:18 |
woodland walks or no woodland walks. |
| 00:41:22 |
Thank you, Uncle. |
| 00:41:24 |
Well, I... I suppose a lady will know |
| 00:41:53 |
- Ah, Tib. |
| 00:41:58 |
All this trouble for me? |
| 00:42:24 |
Happy birthday, Anne. |
| 00:42:29 |
This is gift enough having you both here. |
| 00:42:34 |
Well, open it. |
| 00:42:38 |
Thank you, Tib. |
| 00:42:45 |
Oh. I already have it. |
| 00:42:49 |
Oh, but this one's beautifully bound. |
| 00:42:51 |
I shall give it to my aunt. |
| 00:42:54 |
Here's something from me. |
| 00:43:11 |
I hate to see you all in black. |
| 00:43:14 |
It's beautiful. |
| 00:43:17 |
Come to the glass. |
| 00:43:19 |
Let me put it on. |
| 00:43:38 |
I'm down the hall, am I? |
| 00:43:49 |
(Anne ) Mmm. |
| 00:43:51 |
I'm so glad to have you with me. |
| 00:43:57 |
Thank your father, Miss Norcliffe. |
| 00:44:02 |
- We shot them ourselves. |
| 00:44:04 |
And how is your dear mother these days? |
| 00:44:07 |
Good. |
| 00:44:09 |
And your sister? |
| 00:44:14 |
Yes. |
| 00:44:15 |
(Gasps ) Though! |
| 00:44:17 |
Mother's looking for a housemaid, |
| 00:44:21 |
It's so difficult to find good people. |
| 00:44:23 |
Especially for Mother |
| 00:44:27 |
A bad experience that she had when young. |
| 00:44:31 |
Turned out the housemaid, |
| 00:44:33 |
who dressed her and rubbed her all over |
| 00:44:38 |
was a man! |
| 00:44:41 |
(Laughing) It was only on account |
| 00:44:47 |
that he was discovered! |
| 00:44:50 |
- (Laughing) |
| 00:44:54 |
Oh, sorry, Anne, I forgot |
| 00:44:59 |
But between you and me, |
| 00:45:03 |
I think she enjoyed a good grubbling |
| 00:45:08 |
and didn't want to own! (Laughs ) |
| 00:45:10 |
- Don't you think you've had enough? |
| 00:45:27 |
To Anne's health and happiness on her birthday. |
| 00:45:30 |
May this be the year you find |
| 00:45:42 |
- Right! |
| 00:45:43 |
Upstairs! |
| 00:45:50 |
- (Laughs ) Do I get a good night kiss? |
| 00:45:54 |
Night night, Auntie. |
| 00:45:58 |
Night night... Uncle! |
| 00:46:05 |
Unlike Miss Norcliffe |
| 00:46:09 |
I can only assume she's unwell. |
| 00:46:19 |
Have you been connected with Tib recently? |
| 00:46:23 |
Not since Manchester. |
| 00:46:26 |
So you have. |
| 00:46:27 |
Well, I was on my own. |
| 00:46:31 |
- You didn't have much faith in me. |
| 00:46:36 |
But she draws attention to herself. |
| 00:46:38 |
Drinking hard and sitting |
| 00:46:42 |
Your aunt and uncle will smoke us all |
| 00:46:45 |
(Chuckles ) No, they've not the nous. |
| 00:46:49 |
I don't know why she's behaving like this. |
| 00:46:51 |
She's jealous. She wants to supplant me |
| 00:46:56 |
- I haven't told her of our engagement. |
| 00:47:00 |
She's making plans of her own |
| 00:47:07 |
For us to have any hope of living together, |
| 00:47:13 |
And look on me as your wife. |
| 00:47:25 |
There's only you. |
| 00:47:42 |
I don't feel like a kiss tonight. |
| 00:48:04 |
(Knocking) |
| 00:48:07 |
(Door opens ) |
| 00:48:12 |
(Tib) Don't worry, |
| 00:48:16 |
Why do you drink so much? |
| 00:48:20 |
I heard the servants talking. They said |
| 00:48:25 |
I said I'd go. |
| 00:48:27 |
Leave you with Mariana. |
| 00:48:32 |
Promise me you won't drink so much again. |
| 00:48:34 |
Promise me you won't |
| 00:48:38 |
- I'm sure I don't know what you mean. |
| 00:48:44 |
(Sighs ) |
| 00:48:45 |
I'd do anything for you. |
| 00:48:49 |
Thank you for my book. |
| 00:48:51 |
I'll see you again soon. |
| 00:49:10 |
(Moaning) |
| 00:49:17 |
(Gasping) |
| 00:49:29 |
(Both giggle ) |
| 00:49:45 |
(Gasping) |
| 00:49:50 |
Two kisses. One after the other. |
| 00:49:55 |
Mariana spoke in the very act. |
| 00:50:00 |
Can you ever love anyone else? |
| 00:50:27 |
Have you always kept your journal?. |
| 00:50:29 |
No. |
| 00:50:31 |
Not properly. |
| 00:50:33 |
Not at school. Just too busy. |
| 00:50:37 |
Flirting with all the girls. (Sniggers ) |
| 00:50:41 |
Why am I not surprised? |
| 00:50:44 |
I was always getting into scrapes with them. |
| 00:50:47 |
Had I known, |
| 00:50:52 |
You knew. |
| 00:51:13 |
Will you let me do your hair? |
| 00:51:17 |
I shall make you pretty as a picture. |
| 00:51:21 |
(Both chuckle ) |
| 00:51:28 |
- Your hair is looking very fine tonight, Anne. |
| 00:51:32 |
(Both giggle ) |
| 00:51:35 |
Why, Uncle James, you've an innocent |
| 00:51:41 |
- It's good to have you here, Mrs Lawton. |
| 00:51:44 |
- Dear old Shibden. It never changes. |
| 00:51:47 |
- And how do you like Lawton Hall?. |
| 00:51:51 |
It's a grand house. Not as cosy as Shibden, |
| 00:51:56 |
And can it expect |
| 00:52:00 |
Why... |
| 00:52:04 |
These things rest with God. |
| 00:52:13 |
I would like to have a child. |
| 00:52:16 |
My future's uncertain without one. |
| 00:52:20 |
But I'm going to look after you. |
| 00:52:22 |
What will convince you? |
| 00:52:26 |
(Chuckles ) My Freddie! |
| 00:52:30 |
Come to church with me tomorrow. |
| 00:52:33 |
We can take the sacrament together. |
| 00:52:35 |
Bind our engagement. |
| 00:52:38 |
Hm? |
| 00:52:40 |
I can show you off. |
| 00:52:41 |
I'll have to catch the morning coach, |
| 00:52:44 |
Charles has a hunting party. |
| 00:52:46 |
- Wants me to make an appearance. |
| 00:52:49 |
- It's as hard for me as it is for you. |
| 00:52:53 |
Leave him now. It's... |
| 00:52:55 |
This could be our life. |
| 00:52:57 |
It will happen soon enough. |
| 00:53:04 |
I can't bear it. |
| 00:53:24 |
(Anne ) We are to read a chapter of the |
| 00:53:28 |
until we can be together again. |
| 00:53:34 |
But, oh, Mariana... |
| 00:53:36 |
my wife and all I love... |
| 00:53:40 |
how the waiting gnaws at me. |
| 00:53:48 |
(Bells toll) |
| 00:53:55 |
(Anne ) We were saddened |
| 00:53:58 |
(Aunt) Our hearts go out to you all. |
| 00:54:00 |
(Mrs Priestley ) Tragic business. |
| 00:54:02 |
His sister seems besides herself. |
| 00:54:05 |
It's no surprise. |
| 00:54:07 |
She's lost a brother |
| 00:54:12 |
He died intestate. |
| 00:54:16 |
With all the land and properties, |
| 00:54:19 |
she's now one of the wealthiest |
| 00:54:24 |
I cannot rest until she's safely married. |
| 00:54:51 |
I've called the gig round. |
| 00:54:54 |
So he says. |
| 00:54:56 |
How do I look? |
| 00:54:58 |
Like you. |
| 00:55:03 |
Good. |
| 00:55:06 |
(Chatter, laughter) |
| 00:55:09 |
I'd rather be at a rat hunt at home |
| 00:55:14 |
- Then why have you come out? |
| 00:55:18 |
Oh, Tib! We are old friends. |
| 00:55:21 |
It is all forgotten. |
| 00:55:23 |
Oh, then one drink will do no harm. |
| 00:55:28 |
You need not fear. |
| 00:55:32 |
I've taken entirely to coursing. |
| 00:55:35 |
I dream only of horses |
| 00:55:38 |
and you. |
| 00:55:40 |
- Oh, you do flatter me. |
| 00:55:54 |
Mariana. |
| 00:55:56 |
Anne. |
| 00:55:59 |
Tib. |
| 00:56:05 |
Miss Lister, how splendid to see you again. |
| 00:56:09 |
Mr Lawton. |
| 00:56:11 |
I'm indebted to you for taking |
| 00:56:18 |
Her home is my home. |
| 00:56:21 |
You, sir, look remarkably well. |
| 00:56:24 |
Oh, well, thank you. |
| 00:56:26 |
- That's what having a young wife does for him. |
| 00:56:30 |
She keeps the life about me. |
| 00:56:32 |
Don't you...twinkle? |
| 00:56:37 |
Enjoy your evening. |
| 00:56:42 |
How can she bear such a brute? |
| 00:56:46 |
All for a carriage and a jointure! |
| 00:56:48 |
Don't be so indelicate, Tib. |
| 00:56:52 |
- (Chatter) |
| 00:57:02 |
I too lost a brother. |
| 00:57:05 |
So I understand. |
| 00:57:08 |
I still grieve for him... |
| 00:57:12 |
(Man ) All the ladies look magnificent. |
| 00:57:14 |
It is uncommon, Miss Walker... |
| 00:57:17 |
but the hopes of both our families |
| 00:57:19 |
Ann, dear, our very own war hero, |
| 00:57:26 |
He was decorated at Waterloo. |
| 00:57:29 |
Captain Ainsworth, |
| 00:57:35 |
Hm, Miss Lister, |
| 00:57:38 |
Ah, too well to be discussed |
| 00:57:44 |
These learned ladies. |
| 00:57:48 |
You've got to know your place, sir. |
| 00:57:53 |
- You mustn't stare so. |
| 00:57:56 |
And the ring? |
| 00:57:59 |
- Would you prefer it if I wasn't here at all?. |
| 00:58:05 |
You have to be careful when I'm with Charles. |
| 00:58:08 |
How long for? |
| 00:58:09 |
You led me to believe he was decrepit. |
| 00:58:12 |
- Looks are deceiving. |
| 00:58:14 |
Now is not the time to speculate. |
| 00:58:24 |
Can we not do without this whole motley set? |
| 00:58:27 |
Do you know Rawson |
| 00:58:29 |
Why? What does he know? |
| 00:58:31 |
Nothing. |
| 00:58:37 |
Some food, my love. |
| 00:58:38 |
Am I? |
| 00:58:40 |
Your love? |
| 00:58:43 |
How does she love you? |
| 00:58:44 |
(Glass smashes ) |
| 00:58:46 |
(Music and chatter stops ) |
| 00:58:49 |
Why, we all love Mariana. |
| 00:58:51 |
I just wish we saw more of you, dear. |
| 00:58:55 |
Come and remember me |
| 00:58:58 |
(Music resumes ) |
| 00:59:01 |
Forgive me. |
| 00:59:17 |
Stop it! |
| 00:59:18 |
- The evening has roused me. |
| 00:59:25 |
Promised Mariana? |
| 00:59:30 |
And what has she promised you... |
| 00:59:32 |
while she wears herself out |
| 00:59:36 |
I have never disguised the fact |
| 00:59:39 |
But what has she promised? |
| 00:59:41 |
To live with you? |
| 00:59:44 |
When Charles dies, |
| 00:59:47 |
That could be 20 years yet. |
| 00:59:51 |
I will not have another word |
| 00:59:53 |
- You're jealous! |
| 01:00:00 |
Anne... |
| 01:00:04 |
I know I can be... |
| 01:00:08 |
Well, you know what I am. |
| 01:00:13 |
But I love you more than anything. |
| 01:00:17 |
And I would be your companion now. |
| 01:00:21 |
All I want... |
| 01:00:25 |
All I ever, ever wanted is to be with you. |
| 01:00:30 |
But I do not love you. |
| 01:00:34 |
Not in the same way. |
| 01:00:41 |
- So you are still connected with her. |
| 01:00:44 |
- That would be adultery. |
| 01:00:46 |
You question my veracity, |
| 01:00:50 |
But what kind of friend have you become? |
| 01:00:54 |
The Anne I used to know |
| 01:01:00 |
You presume too much. |
| 01:01:03 |
Must be the drink. |
| 01:01:05 |
(Sighs ) Then I shall bother you no more. |
| 01:01:27 |
(Mariana ) Charles suspects. |
| 01:01:32 |
He watches me all the time. |
| 01:01:37 |
I dare not risk him finding your letters, |
| 01:01:40 |
he would quiz me about the code. |
| 01:01:43 |
Yet I cannot bring myself to destroy them. |
| 01:01:47 |
Keep them safe, for both our sakes. |
| 01:01:50 |
And do not write again until I tell you. |
| 01:01:58 |
(Anne ) My fancy and my thoughts are sick. |
| 01:02:01 |
Can I trust her? |
| 01:02:04 |
Do I waste my life in vain expectation? |
| 01:02:09 |
(Knocking) |
| 01:02:11 |
Miss, come quick! |
| 01:02:39 |
(Aunt) Oh! |
| 01:03:25 |
My darling Mariana, |
| 01:03:27 |
I write to you as mistress of Shibden. |
| 01:03:30 |
True to his word, |
| 01:03:34 |
and though saddened by his passing, |
| 01:03:40 |
After all these years, I am now furnished |
| 01:03:45 |
I spend each day working |
| 01:03:50 |
I can no longer wait |
| 01:03:53 |
You are my wife, in honour and in love. |
| 01:03:57 |
Come now, |
| 01:04:01 |
Openly and at once. |
| 01:04:09 |
(Mariana ) I am in mourning for your uncle. |
| 01:04:12 |
As a tribute to you, Fred, |
| 01:04:14 |
I will be passing through Halifax next month |
| 01:04:20 |
Meet me at the coaching inn |
| 01:04:22 |
and we will decide what is to be done. |
| 01:04:33 |
When is the coach to York due? |
| 01:04:38 |
Same time it were last time you asked. |
| 01:04:43 |
Do you have any biscuits? |
| 01:05:09 |
(Driver) Gee up there! Ha! |
| 01:05:24 |
- Stop! Stop! |
| 01:05:28 |
(Neighing) |
| 01:05:30 |
I've come to join your precious load. |
| 01:05:38 |
(Panting) Mariana, I walked... |
| 01:05:44 |
Get in. |
| 01:05:54 |
(Driver) Ha! Go on now! |
| 01:06:01 |
What were you thinking? |
| 01:06:02 |
A fine story you've given the coachman, |
| 01:06:06 |
Miss Lister marching across the moors |
| 01:06:12 |
No, please, I'm sorry. |
| 01:06:16 |
Come home to Shibden with me. |
| 01:06:18 |
- You know I can't. |
| 01:06:22 |
Just come. |
| 01:06:24 |
- Leave Charles, you don't need him any more. |
| 01:06:28 |
- It doesn't matter! |
| 01:06:32 |
You must understand that I would rather die |
| 01:06:38 |
Ashamed. |
| 01:06:41 |
You're ashamed of me. |
| 01:06:43 |
Why must you... |
| 01:06:47 |
How can you be my wife |
| 01:06:50 |
Do we have to keep playing this game? |
| 01:06:56 |
We could have a good life, see each other often, |
| 01:07:02 |
- That's no life! |
| 01:07:06 |
Yes, we might live as companions, |
| 01:07:12 |
Think! People would smoke us in days. |
| 01:07:16 |
We'd be ruined, ridiculed, cut by all society! |
| 01:07:19 |
Then why have you said |
| 01:07:22 |
- Because I love you! |
| 01:07:24 |
The world is the way it is |
| 01:07:32 |
Then I see you are not |
| 01:07:37 |
I crave a stronger character. |
| 01:07:41 |
Only in bed are you excellent! |
| 01:07:46 |
You cannot live without me. |
| 01:07:51 |
Oh, but I do. |
| 01:07:54 |
And I cannot bear it any longer. |
| 01:07:58 |
I want to share my life with someone. |
| 01:08:02 |
I want that. |
| 01:08:06 |
Or nothing at all. |
| 01:08:11 |
I can't. |
| 01:08:58 |
We need a trip. A long one. |
| 01:09:04 |
I've always enjoyed the lakes. |
| 01:09:06 |
I was thinking Paris. |
| 01:09:08 |
For a year. |
| 01:09:10 |
- Maybe two. |
| 01:09:13 |
Well, Halifax is so vulgar and stifling. |
| 01:09:17 |
Well, what about Shibden, |
| 01:09:23 |
Poor old Shibden. |
| 01:09:26 |
Perhaps we should just pull it down |
| 01:09:32 |
You're right. You do need a trip. |
| 01:09:51 |
Mr Rawson downstairs for you, miss. |
| 01:09:54 |
(Sniffs ) |
| 01:09:56 |
Miss Lister, I've come on business. |
| 01:10:02 |
Stay there, Aunt. |
| 01:10:04 |
You going abroad? |
| 01:10:06 |
What do you want, Mr Rawson? |
| 01:10:09 |
Ten acres of land up near Connery, |
| 01:10:12 |
I'd like to lease it from you and mine it. |
| 01:10:14 |
More coal for me, |
| 01:10:18 |
What price do you propose? |
| 01:10:21 |
- A hundred an acre. |
| 01:10:24 |
- 120. |
| 01:10:27 |
because I'm a female? |
| 01:10:29 |
You, Miss Lister? Hardly. |
| 01:10:33 |
- 140. |
| 01:10:36 |
Save your breath, Mr Rawson. |
| 01:10:40 |
Well, are you just going to let it sit there |
| 01:10:43 |
while you run up debts on the continent? |
| 01:10:46 |
I know we've had our differences, |
| 01:10:49 |
Ooh, you sound earnest. |
| 01:10:51 |
Must be a lot of coal down there. |
| 01:10:54 |
(Sniffs ) There is. |
| 01:10:56 |
- Well, perhaps I'll mine it myself. |
| 01:11:00 |
Do you know how much it costs |
| 01:11:04 |
No. I will find out. |
| 01:11:09 |
When you do, you come and find me. |
| 01:11:12 |
We both know the Listers |
| 01:11:16 |
But the offer will stand. |
| 01:11:18 |
At a hundred an acre. |
| 01:11:26 |
Forgive me, Aunt. |
| 01:11:36 |
It's as if I've woken from a feverish dream. |
| 01:11:39 |
I can live and work and still be happy. |
| 01:11:43 |
I have been an Icarus but shall fall less fatally. |
| 01:11:47 |
From this moment I will, |
| 01:12:04 |
Miss? |
| 01:12:16 |
This is a large house for one person. |
| 01:12:19 |
Some days more than others. |
| 01:12:23 |
Shall we? |
| 01:12:30 |
You have fine taste. |
| 01:12:32 |
It's all my father's. |
| 01:12:37 |
You have chosen well. |
| 01:12:44 |
Would you like some cake? |
| 01:12:45 |
Thank you. |
| 01:12:53 |
I have come to enquire |
| 01:12:56 |
I don't know much about it. |
| 01:13:00 |
I have a mind to seek my own, |
| 01:13:06 |
Mr Rawson wants to lease my land, |
| 01:13:10 |
but only, I suspect, because he's |
| 01:13:15 |
He came to visit me as well, |
| 01:13:18 |
- You refused? |
| 01:13:22 |
- He claimed the price he offered was an insult. |
| 01:13:26 |
By all means. |
| 01:13:28 |
- I shall send him to you. |
| 01:13:32 |
It's difficult to know who to trust. |
| 01:13:38 |
Alas, I fear it might be some time before |
| 01:13:46 |
Unless, of course... |
| 01:14:00 |
Tell me, Miss Walker... |
| 01:14:03 |
do you like Byron? |
| 01:14:13 |
(Ann ) Some books on engineering |
| 01:14:16 |
which may be of some practical help. |
| 01:14:25 |
(Anne ) Some books from my own library, |
| 01:14:29 |
Perfectly impractical. |
| 01:14:37 |
(Bleating) |
| 01:14:39 |
This is the figure I reached with your steward. |
| 01:14:43 |
I shall call it the Walker Pit. |
| 01:14:46 |
As a compliment to you. |
| 01:14:54 |
(Anne ) Mm, our first pit was sunk |
| 01:14:58 |
110 yards deep and is said to be |
| 01:15:03 |
(Mrs Priestley ) Very good. |
| 01:15:05 |
- If a coal pit can be said to be handsome. |
| 01:15:07 |
And sometime next spring |
| 01:15:11 |
And how will you be financing that? |
| 01:15:13 |
Why, with return from the first. |
| 01:15:18 |
I'm grateful to you for providing my niece |
| 01:15:23 |
I worry for her, |
| 01:15:27 |
We have much in common. |
| 01:15:29 |
Fortune hunters must be a great concern, |
| 01:15:32 |
Indeed. |
| 01:15:36 |
Did I mention I saw the Lawtons |
| 01:15:40 |
Mariana told me she feels |
| 01:15:44 |
now she's made new friends |
| 01:15:49 |
I'm so pleased she's settled. |
| 01:16:16 |
Can you ever love anyone else? |
| 01:16:35 |
(Ann ) My usual reading is the penny magazine. |
| 01:16:38 |
(Anne ) So much is changing |
| 01:16:40 |
that if we remain ignorant, |
| 01:16:45 |
Miss Lister, Miss Walker, won't you step inside, |
| 01:16:50 |
Not until you stop sending men |
| 01:16:54 |
(Laughter) |
| 01:16:58 |
That's a cheap price you're selling coal at. |
| 01:17:00 |
We set a price that is fair to our customers. |
| 01:17:04 |
I'll always go a penny cheaper. |
| 01:17:06 |
We sell door to door, |
| 01:17:08 |
I don't see we're any competition. |
| 01:17:13 |
I've got to be suspicious of any man |
| 01:17:17 |
Indeed. |
| 01:17:18 |
You are doing everything possible |
| 01:17:26 |
Make way, Bill. Let the gentleman pass. |
| 01:17:31 |
Where's your cups, Anne? |
| 01:17:33 |
(Laughs ) |
| 01:17:36 |
- If you do I'll drop you. |
| 01:17:42 |
I think you should come and stay with me |
| 01:17:46 |
I think it'll be safer for us both. |
| 01:17:48 |
I've put you in the red room, Miss Walker. |
| 01:17:52 |
- Is that necessary? |
| 01:17:55 |
- Won't she share with you? |
| 01:18:20 |
I hardly see you. |
| 01:18:28 |
How are you today? |
| 01:18:30 |
Good news from my steward. |
| 01:18:32 |
We've secured the contract |
| 01:18:36 |
- What? No! |
| 01:18:40 |
No more hauling door to door. |
| 01:18:42 |
Oh! This is wonderful news. |
| 01:18:46 |
We shall have wine with our lunch. |
| 01:18:50 |
I shall go down to the Walker Pit tomorrow, |
| 01:18:54 |
see if we can't |
| 01:18:57 |
We're lucky. They're good men. |
| 01:19:01 |
- Here's an odd thing. |
| 01:19:04 |
''Marriage announcements. |
| 01:19:05 |
''Captain Tom Lister of Shibden Hall |
| 01:19:10 |
''to Miss Ann Walker, lately of Lidgate. |
| 01:19:13 |
''We beg to congratulate the couple |
| 01:19:18 |
Let me see that! |
| 01:19:25 |
Well, it's a... |
| 01:19:29 |
No doubt Mr Rawson up to some trick. |
| 01:19:32 |
Well, if he thinks something so trivial |
| 01:19:38 |
And who's Tom? |
| 01:19:40 |
(Anne sighs ) |
| 01:19:42 |
Like this. |
| 01:19:44 |
Still and strong. |
| 01:19:49 |
Oh! (Laughs ) It's so heavy. |
| 01:19:52 |
(Laughs ) What's that? |
| 01:19:58 |
Breathe in and, when you're ready, |
| 01:20:04 |
(Exhales ) |
| 01:20:06 |
- (Aunt) Miss Walker? |
| 01:20:09 |
(Aunt) Miss Walker! |
| 01:20:19 |
- Aunt. |
| 01:20:22 |
I come out of concern, child. |
| 01:20:25 |
Such shocking rumours are circulating. |
| 01:20:27 |
- Things in the paper... |
| 01:20:31 |
Why are you here? |
| 01:20:36 |
- She is my guest. |
| 01:20:39 |
Without any consultation? |
| 01:20:44 |
- I am made most welcome. |
| 01:20:47 |
- But our business, we... |
| 01:20:51 |
You have a steward for that. |
| 01:20:56 |
People are insinuating things. |
| 01:20:59 |
Things which may prevent you |
| 01:21:06 |
I... |
| 01:21:09 |
I don't... |
| 01:21:12 |
I do not want...a husband. |
| 01:21:19 |
What? |
| 01:21:20 |
I do not want a husband. |
| 01:21:26 |
You! |
| 01:21:28 |
I dare not even say by what unnatural means |
| 01:21:34 |
Mrs Priestley, you yourself always tell people |
| 01:21:41 |
Ann. |
| 01:21:44 |
Ann, look at me! |
| 01:21:46 |
Return to your family. |
| 01:21:49 |
Before its good name is ruined forever. |
| 01:22:01 |
(Door slams ) |
| 01:22:05 |
I wish to stay here... |
| 01:22:08 |
with you. |
| 01:22:15 |
Ann, this is important. |
| 01:22:20 |
Your aunt is right. |
| 01:22:25 |
Are you sure you understand |
| 01:22:34 |
I think so. |
| 01:22:37 |
That you and I...do this... |
| 01:22:46 |
And this... |
| 01:22:53 |
Are you sure you understand? |
| 01:23:15 |
(Ann sighs ) |
| 01:23:54 |
(Knocking) |

Mr Rawson is here to see you, miss. |
| 01:24:01 |
Tell him I'll be there. |
| 01:24:12 |
Miss Lister. |
| 01:24:14 |
I have a proposition |
| 01:24:19 |
You know how it can be in business. |
| 01:24:26 |
Oh, hell. |
| 01:24:28 |
Do you want to buy the pit |
| 01:24:32 |
Cut those prices a bit too low, did you? |
| 01:24:37 |
No, Mr Rawson, |
| 01:24:40 |
Nor see you in this house or on my land |
| 01:24:46 |
Well, you've more nous than me. |
| 01:24:49 |
The way you've pocketed |
| 01:24:53 |
I'm actually impressed. |
| 01:25:14 |
- We're running out of fresh soil. |
| 01:25:19 |
- I'll get the groom to bring some round. |
| 01:25:23 |
(Hums tune ) |
| 01:25:39 |
(Door opens ) |
| 01:25:52 |
(Chuckles ) That was quick. |
| 01:25:55 |
My Freddie. |
| 01:26:02 |
Mariana. |
| 01:26:07 |
I thought the announcements in the paper |
| 01:26:10 |
Now I see they're true. |
| 01:26:14 |
I found someone. |
| 01:26:16 |
Shy Miss Walker. |
| 01:26:20 |
Is she all that you hope for? |
| 01:26:23 |
We suit each other. |
| 01:26:25 |
And I like her very much. |
| 01:26:28 |
Like? |
| 01:26:33 |
I do believe I could leave Charles now |
| 01:26:38 |
He has...acquired other female interests. |
| 01:26:46 |
Might there still be |
| 01:26:52 |
- You made your choice. |
| 01:26:56 |
I was foolish... |
| 01:26:59 |
about...trivial things. |
| 01:27:04 |
You can't love her the way we loved, |
| 01:27:09 |
Freddie. |
| 01:27:12 |
My Freddie. |
| 01:27:16 |
It's Anne. |
| 01:27:18 |
You must be tired after your journey. |
| 01:27:21 |
I should... |
| 01:27:24 |
My family are expecting me. |
| 01:27:27 |
- I'll walk you to your carriage. |
| 01:28:04 |
Was that Mrs Lawton? |
| 01:28:05 |
Yes, passing through. |
| 01:28:08 |
Shame she couldn't stay. |
| 01:28:12 |
Yes. |
| 01:28:16 |
Let me help you with those. |
