02:14That'll be me.
02:35All right, boy, I know it's your seat, but we've got a visitor.
02:39He usually sits there, don't you, Ned?
02:44Is all this your farm?
02:46I wish it was, girl. I'd be a very rich man.
02:49This is called Ampshire. That's what this is.
02:58Look! Isn't that scarecrow funny?
03:01Can't say he's I'd noticed.
03:18Who's that man? He waved at us.
03:21Nearly there.
03:44Well, young Jennifer, springing up fast.
03:49That's what you don't remember me, do you?
03:51You must be Uncle Philip and Uncle Daniel's mother.
03:53That's right. I'm Mrs. Thorne.
03:56You won't be seeing your Uncle Philip.
03:58He's away in the forces.
04:01I expect you'll remember your Auntie Ella well enough.
04:04It's been a while.
04:08Phil and Ella's wedding was the only time we met Ella's family, wasn't it, Mother?
04:14Mother.
04:18You mustn't mind your Auntie.
04:20She worries about things.
04:23Come inside.
04:27Go on in, Carol. It's all right.
04:32We've been on the sick for a few days.
04:33We'll soon settle in.
04:35This is the parlour.
04:37Now, your Auntie Ella does the farm accounts at that desk, so no touching anything.
04:41Where does Auntie Ella go?
04:42She can be a bit distant at times.
04:45With Philip being so far away, it's to be expected.
04:48Is she lonely?
04:50She won't be now you're here, will she?
04:55Well, this is the room we keep for visitors, so don't leave anything about.
05:01We eat in there.
05:02We keep proper times for meals.
05:05Don't drop crumbs on the floor.
05:07We don't want to encourage mice.
05:27Well, it's all aired.
05:30There's a spare blanket if you get cold.
05:32It's so pretty.
05:34I was sitting in an area shelter in London.
05:40Who's in the room across the landing with a big tree outside?
05:43It's your Uncle Philip and Auntie Ella's room.
05:46Philip's been in that room ever since he was a boy.
05:49I bet he used to climb in that tree.
05:51No, he didn't.
05:52He was far too well behaved.
05:59Where is he now?
06:01He's in Africa with his regiment.
06:04I'd like to go to Africa one day
06:05and go on safari and ride on an elephant and see lions and tigers.
06:08He's not there for fun and games.
06:11He's fighting for our freedom.
06:15I'd rather he was home.
06:18You would.
06:20Especially your Auntie Ella.
06:24Just hang us in the wardrobe.
06:25Let me know if you want any more.
06:26Come on down when you're ready.
06:28Don't be shy.
06:43You're welcome.
06:44You're welcome.
06:45Stop!
07:58We get up early in the country. Best part of the day's over by breakfast time.
08:02Let her sleep in. She looked done in last night.
08:05Well, this is Tom. We're up to the farm.
08:07How long are you staying for, then?
08:09Just the summer.
08:11Goes back to school in September.
08:12Warren might be old by then.
08:15Oh, I pray it is, Tom. Oh, I do. Night and day, I pray.
08:21Thank you, Mother. Mrs. Stone.
08:23Would you like a duck egg for breakfast?
08:25I've never had one of those.
08:26Oh, well, you're in for a treat, then.
08:29Come on, sit down.
08:33Where's Auntie Ellen?
08:36She'll be around somewhere.
08:40What are you going to do with yourself all day, then?
08:44I haven't thought. Explore?
08:47She wants to go to Africa and ride elephants.
08:50Oh, you might bomb down Mr. Philip out there.
08:52Philip isn't sightseeing, Tom. He's fighting a war.
08:55Well, I told her.
08:59Well, maybe she can help on the farm when she's settled.
09:03Well, what do you think, Mr. Thorne?
09:05Yeah, simple things.
09:08Gathering eggs, milking the cows and such.
09:10I'd like that.
09:11As long as Daniel's there to see what's what.
09:14And no wandering off.
09:17We don't want anything untoward happening.
09:19Oh, I'm used to going places on my own.
09:21I've even been to Hampton Court on the bus.
09:25You'll do as you're told while you're here, my girl.
09:34What happens to all these turrets?
09:36They get harvested.
09:37Those the blasted birds don't have.
09:39And don't try eating them till they're properly right.
09:41You'll get a bellyache.
09:42Come on, Ned.
09:52You're like a spring lamb, you are.
09:56Go on.
09:56Show us another.
10:06What happened with your leg?
10:09I was cleaning and all gone.
10:11Caught a bullet in the foot, that's all.
10:12It was an accident.
10:13Tom, you best get on with your work.
10:20Yes, Mrs. Thorne.
10:48Jean, it was an accident.
10:50There you go.
10:55That village store has been closed twice now on Mondays and Tuesdays
10:59without so much as do you mind.
11:02I couldn't even get a bar of toilet soap last week.
11:05Nothing wrong with carbolic.
11:07Don't get the provisions they used to.
11:09They should let folks know when they will be open and when they won't.
11:12I walk two miles to no avail.
11:14You ought to get yourself a bicycle, Emily.
11:17I could see me on a bicycle.
11:19Oh, there's Dennis Clifton.
11:22He said he'd drop by if he had time.
11:24I expect he's got nothing but time, poor man.
11:27All on his own.
11:28Still, he's on the mend.
11:30That's the main thing.
11:31He'll be back in the Air Force as soon as he's fit.
11:34Can't wait.
11:35What are you staring at?
11:36Nothing.
11:41He looks like Leslie Howard in Gone With the Wind, don't you think so?
11:43Don't be silly.
11:44He's nothing like...
11:46I'd best be getting on.
11:48Oh, stay and have some cake.
11:50Of course he will.
11:51I've got no time to listen to heroics.
11:53There's work to do.
11:54One piece won't hurt.
11:56Everything all right?
11:58Young Jennifer here thinks you look like Leslie Howard.
12:01I wish I was that good looking.
12:08This is my niece.
12:10She's up from London for the summer.
12:11Good idea.
12:12Get away from those bombs.
12:14Mr. Clifton was wounded in the Battle of Britain.
12:18It was a miracle he survived.
12:20Dogfight over Kent.
12:21Got one of theirs before I was shot down, though.
12:24A young is 87.
12:25One of our lads got this off the pilot's body for me.
12:29Oh.
12:31That's really creepy, don't you think so?
12:33No, of course not.
12:34No good to him anymore, was it?
12:35I expect you can't wait to get back to the action, Dennis.
12:39That's right, Mrs. Leithman.
12:40Time we got them sorted out.
12:43Any news of Philip?
12:45Nothing lately.
12:46We think he's involved in the relief of Tobruk.
12:49You'll be all right.
12:50A tough lot, those boys.
12:54So, young Jenny.
12:56How are you enjoying the countryside?
13:01Well, will I...
13:02Well, answer for pity's sake.
13:04It's you they've come to visit.
13:08I'm going to make some fresh tea.
13:09This lot's stewed.
13:24Get yourself back in there with that tea.
13:31The raids, which lasted for several hours,
13:33were scattered over many parts of the country.
13:36Well, call me if there's any news from abroad.
13:38...towns on the south coast,
13:40the west of England,
13:41the North Midlands,
13:42and the north west,
13:44as well as over the London area.
13:46The casualties, however,
13:48appear to be few.
13:48You ought to be in bed.
13:50Your age, I was asleep at eight o'clock.
13:54Oh, wireless.
13:55I was listening.
13:57What if my mother's hurt?
13:59Don't be silly.
13:59Of course she's not.
14:01What's that you're reading?
14:06His ears are too big.
14:08Is he your heartthrob?
14:10No.
14:13Yes, I forgot.
14:14You're like Leslie Howard, don't you?
14:24We could go to the pictures, if you like.
14:26Have to be a matinee, of course.
14:28Mrs Thorne doesn't like us to be out after tea time.
14:33I thought you might approve.
14:35Not as timid as you pretend, are you?
14:38Off you go to bed, then.
14:40Nie.
14:49Mom.
14:51Janik.
14:52Kyla.
14:53Oh.
14:53Oh.
14:54Oh.
15:03Oh.
15:06Oh.
15:08Oh.
15:09Oh.
15:14Here is the world news in pictures, and this is Pate Gazette screening it.
15:24When the army of the Nile stuck their thorn in the side of Musso's bosses by recapturing Tobruk,
15:29they knew...
15:29That's the Uncle Philip on this.
15:31Don't be silly, there's thousands out there.
15:33No.
15:33Gary's attacking a British merchantman in the harbour.
15:35Why didn't Uncle Daniel go too?
15:37Because he's needed to run the farm.
15:38It's the real war, with the Nazi eggs falling too near the company.
15:44That was a close one.
15:46It's really awful being so far apart.
15:48The Nazis shall pay the price, and here's how they do it.
15:50Everything they've got, they chuck in the air.
15:52I've got a headache.
15:53I'm going outside for a minute.
15:57I won't just answer you.
15:58Almost before you can say H for hell or Hitler,
16:01the attacker is just another of those things which clutter up the countryside.
16:07And upon the defensive post on the perimeter, within easy reach of enemy guns,
16:11is a group of men forming a unique gun crew.
16:25I'm sorry.
16:27We're in terribly well, are you?
16:29You missed it all.
16:30Everything.
16:31I know, I had such a bad migraine.
16:32Look, come on.
16:33We'll be late for supper.
16:35Squirrel pie again, I expect.
16:36You know, you'll get used to it.
16:39There's one of them.
16:40A renewed push in North Africa has put our troops at the forefront of the action
16:45with Operation Battle Axe well underway at Tobruk.
16:48The War Office has reported some casualties, but no star to the enemy's side.
16:53About 200 prisoners were captured, as well as much material, including 28 three-inch mortars.
16:59In the northern sector of the front, a vigorous attack was repulsed.
17:03News agency correspondents say the enemy suffered heavy losses.
17:08She gets nervy.
17:10About nothing, really.
17:11I'd better go to bed.
17:12Jenny, about what happened at the pictures today.
17:16It's our little secret, all right?
17:18I wouldn't want to worry anyone.
17:19You see what they're like.
17:21Don't worry, Uncle Daniel follows you around.
17:23Whatever made you think that?
17:25He does no such thing.
17:26You've imagined it.
17:27You've imagined it.
17:27You've imagined it.
17:41You've imagined it.
17:42You've imagined it.
17:45You've imagined it.
17:45You've imagined it.
17:46You've imagined it.
17:47You've imagined it.
17:47You've imagined it.
17:47You've imagined it.
17:48You've imagined it.
17:49You've imagined it.
17:49You've imagined it.
17:50You've imagined it.
17:50You've imagined it.
17:51You've imagined it.
17:52You've imagined it.
17:53You've imagined it.
17:55You've imagined it.
18:22It's too big.
18:25A man's bicycle.
18:27Do yourself a damage.
18:29It's come to no harm.
18:32It's got a crossbar.
18:33It's not dignified.
18:35What would your mother say?
18:36I think she'd say yes.
18:37Ah, damn, Liz.
18:39You can go for little walks.
18:41You can help Daniel on the farm if she says it's all right.
18:45No riding men's bicycles.
18:48If you're at a loss, you can help me finish this rabbit.
18:51Go on while I put the pot on.
18:55Townies.
18:58It's horrible here.
19:00They're all so miserable and they treat me like a child.
19:03I hate it.
19:08Ned, come back.
19:10Go away.
19:13Come on.
19:13Go away.
19:15Go, go, go, go!
20:13I'll load the saddle if you like.
20:15You scared me.
20:17Come on, you can take it out for a spin.
20:19I'm not allowed.
20:20Why not?
20:21You're big enough.
20:22Once the saddle's down.
20:24Whose is it?
20:26I don't know.
20:26Philip Thorne's, I reckon.
20:28He won't be needing it for a while.
20:30We'll have a go on it.
20:32I'll fetch a spanner.
20:36Don't you get saddled, so I mind.
20:44The accident with your foot, is that why you're not at the war?
20:47I'm not a coward, if that's what you think.
20:51No, I didn't think that.
20:56It was an accident.
20:57That's all.
21:00I don't think you're a coward, honestly.
21:02A lot of people in the village do.
21:03They treat me like I'm a dirt.
21:06That's awful.
21:07That's how times are.
21:11Mr Thorne's been good to me, though.
21:13Treats me like I'm a proper man.
21:15But you're a proper man.
21:17Proper enough for a kiss.
21:20I don't know why I said that, I'm sorry.
21:23Just friendly, that's all.
21:27Best, er, get this saddle fixed
21:30before Mrs Thorne finds us here.
21:56Are you all right?
21:57What a silly question.
21:58Of course you're not.
22:00I'd be surprised if Thorn's lets you out on that old bicycle. It's much too big.
22:04Here, spit on this.
22:06Corn? You don't need any of my germs, do you?
22:09That's it.
22:16Doesn't look terribly serious.
22:19I heard anyone else?
22:21Good. I'd better get you home.
22:30If she affections and warm youthful blood, she'd be swift in motion as a bull.
22:35My love would bandy her to my sweet love and his...
22:37What's all this, then?
22:40Talking to yourself?
22:42To the school player next term.
22:47Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
22:51I never liked that stuff much.
22:54You're knee healing up, all right? You had me worried.
22:58Yes, thank you, and you needn't worry.
23:08Tom, would you risk everything for the woman you loved?
23:12I don't know. I never loved yet.
23:15You never loved anybody?
23:17Well, I thought I did one time, but it wasn't love.
23:21What was it, then?
23:24Jenny, come inside. I want to talk to you.
23:27Sounds like you're in trouble again.
23:34Oh, come on. It's not the end of the world.
23:37At least nobody was killed. That's a blessing.
23:40I want to see my mother.
23:42She's all right. Hardly a scratch.
23:46They were both in the shelter. Look, just be grateful.
23:51The house is finished, though.
23:53So you have to stay on here until they find another place.
23:57Well, my things will be gone.
23:59My clothes and...
24:02No-one's hurt. That's all that matters.
24:04Look, everybody is having a hard time, not just you.
24:07Bloody war.
24:09How long does it go on?
24:15I've never seen you smoking before.
24:18Mrs. Thorne doesn't think it's proper for a woman.
24:21It's a place to drive anyone to distraction.
24:27You'd better go and do your blubbering upstairs.
24:28Wouldn't want to embarrass anybody.
25:20What are you doing down here?
25:22I needed to use the sink.
25:26Oh.
25:29You should have asked me for dressings.
25:35Don't be so embarrassed this time.
25:54Ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:05This horse looks very handsome, Tom.
26:08That's the best.
26:09Probably our last show this year.
26:10Last show for some time, the way this war's going.
26:13Seems wrong us enjoying ourselves when men like our Philip are away fighting.
26:18You know what Winston Churchill says.
26:21We've got to keep our spirits up.
26:23Come on.
26:24Let's have a look round.
26:26Who's Dennis?
26:28Mr. Clifton to you, miss.
26:32You know, I think he does look a little like Leslie Howard.
26:36From a distance.
26:37Come on, please.
26:55All right then, Oliver. Have a nice piece of cheese with you in.
26:58What a lovely day, isn't it?
27:01Would you like a piece of bread?
27:02Yes.
27:04Delicious walnut cake, Mrs. Thorn.
27:05Oh, well.
27:07Jenny helped make it.
27:08I thought it was a bit dry, actually.
27:11Not at all.
27:12Just dry.
27:14Put your things in here.
27:23Here's yours. Best so far, if you ask me.
27:27I think you're biased, Emily.
27:29Well, I remember it, Mrs. Leith, when I've got that Martha Treadwell novel I promised you.
27:33Dennis, you're a gem.
27:34I've read practically everything in the county twice. I'm desperate for something new.
27:38It's in the car. I'll go and get it.
27:40Any news from Philip?
27:43Well, Ella got a letter this morning.
27:46They said they're moving his regiment back to Egypt.
27:49So he might be due for home leave soon.
27:51Why didn't you say so? This is cause for celebration.
27:55Oh, nothing certain.
27:57We didn't want to get Ella's hopes up.
28:00Jenny!
28:03Take this rug back to the car. There's a good girl.
28:08You must be thrilled.
28:14What are we going to do? He's coming home.
28:17What a lot we can do.
28:18Dennis, I can't face him. I just can't.
28:21Look, there's a war on. Anything could happen. We could all be dead next week.
28:25I just...
28:28Let's try to keep calm.
28:29Watching my every move, how am I supposed to keep calm?
28:32You have to.
28:35Come on. Show me that smile.
28:40That's better.
28:42Chin up. I'll see you tonight.
28:44Usual time.
28:50We'll be back next week.
28:51I am.
28:59I'm not too late.
28:59I'm hungry.
29:00I don't know him.
29:00You know him.
29:04I'm hungry.
29:04I've never been to.
29:04You must be hungry.
29:05I'm hungry.
29:14I'm hungry.
29:15I'm hungry.

32:28I heard tell Dennis Clifton's gone back to the war.
32:32Will he be posted anywhere near Philip?
32:34I doubt that, Mother.
32:35And we wanted to fly Spitfire again.
32:40Where did you hear this?
32:42Down in the village this afternoon.
32:45He'll be happy as Larry now.
32:47He can hardly wait to get back to his squadron.
32:59It's always good bread.
33:01I'll have it if you don't want it.
33:31I'll have it if you don't want it.
33:35Aunty Ella, about the other day, the Scarecrow.
33:42You ought to be in bed at this hour.
33:45I didn't mean anything bad.
33:47I know. Just shut up about it now, all right?
33:54Is it why Mr Clifton didn't visit us before he left?
33:58I don't know why he didn't visit.
34:01He was probably too busy.
34:05Just go to bed.
34:08If there's anything I can do...
34:09I said go to bloody bed!
34:14You stupid child!
34:41I said go to bed.
34:42I said go.
34:43I said go.
34:46I said go.
34:52I said go.
35:14Aunty Ella, it's me, Jenny.
35:23I'm sorry, I was just...
35:30Aunty Ella, about the other day of what I said, it was really stupid.
35:37I know that now.
35:40It's all right.
35:43I'm sorry I snapped to you, too.
35:50If there's anything I can get you, a cup of tea?
35:54No.
35:55It should be no trouble and I'd clear up afterwards.
35:59No.
36:00We wouldn't want to wake anyone.
36:03I'm just feeling a bit down, that's all.
36:05With the war and everything.
36:14I cry sometimes.
36:16They say it's good to.
36:21I cried when our house was bombed.
36:24I wasn't very nice to you then, was I?
36:31I've had a lot in my mind.
36:34You mustn't think it's because I didn't care.
36:41It's hard to lose something you care about.
36:46Or to think that no one cares about you.
37:04Eleven o'clock?
37:07Yes.
37:09You'd better go.
37:11Get some sleep.
37:15Cherry picking tomorrow?
37:17Yes.
37:22Sleep well, Auntie Ella.
37:41Cherry's a girl like video this year.
37:43It's the heat.
37:45I think I'll die of exhaustion if this weather doesn't break soon.
37:48Plenty of char and a bigger hat.
37:49That's what you need, Mrs Leithman.
37:51Tom, keep your eye on those youngsters.
37:54I think they're eating more than they're picking.
37:56Right.
37:57You haven't been eating too many cherries of you, young Jennifer.
37:59We don't want you getting sick.
38:01I haven't been sick at all.
38:02It wasn't, it was Auntie Ella.
38:06That child invents things.
38:08If I'd known, I'd never have had a year.
38:13You trying to set the place on fire?
38:15Grass is like tinder.
38:17Is Ella unwell then, Daniel?
38:19Ella?
38:20Sounds as a Belfar, as I know.
38:21Especially with the news about our Philip.
38:33Well, go on, get up the ladder and have a go.
38:36No, you do it.
38:37Couldn't wait to climb this tree a few weeks back.
38:40What's the matter?
38:41I'd rather go back to the other trees.
38:43You know Mrs Thorne won't have strangers looking in through her windows.
38:46We've got to pick these ourselves.
38:49Come on, all this basket.
39:03You ready with that basket?
39:38Heat stroke.
39:40I warned them.
39:41Two or three passed out by the end.
39:43You weren't the only one.
39:44Ella's hardly been seen all day.
39:47Look here now.
39:49Haddock and potato soup.
39:51That'll soon put you right.
39:55Is it true Dennis Clifton's gone away to the wharf?
39:58Oh, he's gone all right.
40:00Daniel says he could hardly wait.
40:01He was so eager to get back to the fray.
40:04Young men.
40:06That's what they're like.
40:08Good news about Philip, though.
40:10Why?
40:11Well, he's coming home on leave.
40:13It's definite.
40:14Isn't that exciting?
40:15Your auntie Ella hasn't seen him for over a year.
40:19You rest well now.
40:21Oh.
40:23And eat that soup up while it's hot.
40:47I want to grab a handful before they get some away.
40:51No.
40:54It's a little bit fragile after yesterday.
40:56Should have worn a hat like we told you.
40:59Auntie Ella never wears a hat.
41:06Wagons here to pick up the fruit, Mr. Thorne.
41:09Best hurry up, Tom, before the weather breaks.
41:11I'll wash up.
41:12Be with you in a minute.
41:13Bye-bye.
41:14Auntie Ella.
41:19Auntie Ella?
41:23Where are you, Auntie Ella?
41:25Where are you?
41:27I'm sorry.
41:28I'm sorry.
41:29I'm sorry.
41:32I heard tell Dennis Kristen's gone back to the war.
41:34Gone back to the war.
41:39Auntie Ella?
41:42Auntie Ella?
41:43Auntie Ella?
41:43Auntie Ella?
41:44Auntie Ella?
41:45Auntie Ella?
41:46Auntie Ella?
41:47Auntie Ella?
41:47Auntie Ella?
41:53Auntie Ella?
42:00Auntie Ella?
42:01Auntie Ella?
42:03Auntie Ella?
42:03Auntie Ella?
42:04Auntie Ella?
42:04Auntie Ella?
42:05Auntie Ella?
42:05Auntie Ella?
42:06Auntie Ella?
42:06Auntie Ella?
42:06Auntie Ella?
42:07Auntie Ella?
42:08Auntie Ella?
42:09Auntie Ella?
42:11Auntie Ella?
42:27I've, er, brought you some tea.
42:32Mrs Thorne's gone down the police station with Downhill.
42:36What?
42:37They're going to contact your mother in London.
42:42It's true, then.
42:44Bad Ella.
42:46It's true, all right.
42:48I can hardly believe it.
42:53It's all my fault.
42:55Don't be so daft.
43:11I wanted to be Ella.
43:15I dreamed I was.
43:20I wanted to be with Dennis out in the woods.
43:24Leaning against the tree.
43:26Dennis Clifton.
43:30But Philip's coming home and she doesn't love him.
43:32What are you talking about?
43:34She loves Dennis.
43:37You've had a bad shock.
43:38That's all.
43:43I thought it would be better if she died, like Juliet in the play.
43:52And now she has.
44:01With a knitting needle.
44:02Well, that's what the police report said.
44:06She did it to herself with a knitting needle.
44:08Stop it.
44:09It's terrible.
44:10It won't go away.
44:12Not this time.
44:12Well, I hope you're not blaming me for what she did to herself.
44:15What was I to do?
44:16I didn't know she was pregnant.
44:17You didn't want to know.
44:19How did the first time when she had to marry our Phil?
44:22She lost that one, natural.
44:23So he thought.
44:25They should never have married.
44:26It wasn't right.
44:27They had to.
44:28It would have been a disgrace.
44:29The shame of it.
44:30That was plenty of shame to be getting on with now, isn't there?
44:33She brought it on herself.
44:35It's got nothing to do with us.
44:36It was Dennis Clifton left her in the lurk, not us.
44:39It's never anything to do with you, is it?
44:41Face it, mother.
44:43You crushed the life out of her with your jealousy and your infernal properness.
44:47Don't you speak to me like that.
44:49It's not surprising she fell for the likes of Dennis.
44:52I didn't bring you up to be disrespectful, either of you.
44:55Oh, mother, I'm nearly 40 years old.
44:59You think we're still your little boys.
45:02Philip always needed me more than you did.
45:04Your precious Philip will have to know now, won't he?
45:07He'll have to know how his wife bled to death trying to rid herself of another man's child.
45:17It's you he should have wed, not her.
45:33She looks so peaceful.
45:36As though she's asleep.
45:39She was beautiful.
45:42She looks so like you at your age.
45:47So full of adventure.
45:49I can't believe it.
45:54I can't believe my little sister's dead.
46:02In the midst of life, we are in death.
46:06Of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee?
46:11Oh, my goodness.
46:12That's a cherry.
46:17It's vomiting.
46:18We're being bombed.
46:20He must have lost his way.
46:23That's our place he's dropped on.
46:25Has to be.
46:30We always envied her, living out here in the countryside.
46:34Sing.
46:36Much damage from the barns, Tom?
46:38Missed ours.
46:39They came down next door, just beyond our top field.
46:42Shrimp was spilled onto our land, though.
46:43Killed one of our cows.
46:45Where's Daniel?
46:46He's away checking the boundary fences,
46:48making sure there's no serious damage done.
46:50I'll make you some fresh tea, Tom.
46:51Thanks, Mrs. Thorne.
46:56Look what I found.
46:58Came over with all the shrapnel.
47:00Blasted out of the ground, I reckon.
47:02Not much use to anyone now.
47:18Going home today?
47:24You've come back to hear auntie died.
47:29Tom found Dennis Clifton's watch in the field.
47:32Did he?
47:33Yes.
47:34Yes, he did.
47:37You knew about Dennis, didn't you?
47:39And Ella.
47:44You wouldn't leave her alone.
47:47You wouldn't leave her be.
47:50We're in love.
47:52She wants me to take her away.
47:55I've told her I think about it.
47:57My brother's coming home from the war.
48:00My brother's coming home to his wife.
48:03He hasn't seen her for over a year.
48:06You just leave her be.
48:09For you to take care of her.
48:12You'd like that, wouldn't you?
48:14Be honest.
48:14You'd like her for yourself.
48:17I'm warning you.
48:18Oh, yes.
48:19Or brother.
48:24I bet he's had a few whores while he's been away.
48:27Gives you a taste for it, war.
48:30But you wouldn't know, would you?
48:33You're like that farmhand of yours.
48:35No guts.
48:44You wouldn't leave her be.
48:51You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?
48:59Our Phil will be home in a few days.
49:04Philip.
49:08Back on his home soil.
49:15You'll just miss him.
49:20And I'll cry in shame.
49:27I wonder if Philip Thorne learned the truth about Ella.
49:32Perhaps they told him a lie like they told me.
49:35I don't suppose I'll ever find out.
49:37What's this?
49:38I expect one day I'll forget.
49:40About Uncle Daniel.
49:42And Dennis.
49:44I don't think I'll ever tell just in case I imagined it.
49:47Anyway.
49:49Children should be seen and not heard.
49:52That's what Mrs. Thorne would say.
50:05like,
50:11we'll sometimes have you.
50:11We'll see you next time here.
50:12We'll see you next time.
50:12All right now.
50:12All right.
50:27We'll see you next time.
50:28We'll see you next time.
50:30You're next time.
