00:05:52I'm a man of poor means.

00:05:54Mrs. Briggs has four shillings a week and her food.

00:05:56Even with lodgings, I'm sure you wouldn't consider that sufficient for yourself and your whole family.

00:06:06I'd be happy to accept your offer, sir.

00:07:34I don't just bring rabbit's mind, uh,

00:07:37I'll be bringing you milk every day in the wood once a month.

00:07:40I suppose you used to call.

00:07:42Aye, I am, but I don't care.

00:07:44Tom, Tom, how long are you going to leave me out there?

00:07:49Raya, this is Mrs. Downey.

00:07:52We share a cottage up on the Guelminton estate.

00:07:55You must visit us.

00:07:57When you're settled in, Lake, you must have plenty to keep you busy, Raya.

00:08:03Gee, look what the master has given us.

00:08:05Never let us breathe on anything of his mother's.

00:08:08And now, look.

00:08:10That's beautiful.

00:08:11Some people have the look, eh?

00:08:13Funny, you'll have to guard that.

00:08:14Well, Tom, you've got your passenger now. Come on.

00:08:18Yeah, you know, honey.

00:08:22If I had anything that precious, you'd have it, Noel.

00:08:26Oh, head over you, man.

00:08:28Get his pie crust right, maybe he'll stay in a good mood.

00:08:32That'd be something.

00:08:35Put it there.

00:09:00I hope you understand I don't want to be troubled by your children.

00:09:11Well, I understand, sir.

00:09:13You won't be troubled.

00:09:13Hey!

00:09:31You two!

00:09:33Come on!

00:09:33Are we doing this?

00:09:42It's Tom!

00:09:53It's Tom!

00:09:58Mom!

00:10:18Hi, y'all!

00:10:23Get that!

00:10:27Come here, man.

00:10:34I'm not coming.

00:10:35I'm not coming.

00:11:25There's a doll there for the lassie and a horse for Davey.

00:11:29Oh, honey.

00:11:31Well, they're from tall, really.

00:11:33He sat carving them for weeks, likely getting practice in for when he has his own Banes.

00:11:41Did you not know he was caught in?

00:11:44I thought he would have told you.

00:11:48I'm not coming.

00:11:49I'm not coming.

00:11:50I'm coming.

00:11:51I'm coming.

00:12:32I've seen him worse.

00:12:38Good night, Ryan.

00:12:53Newcastle was packed today, Ryan.

00:12:57The shops made me wish I was a rich man.

00:13:01Or a high lemon.

00:13:05I don't think you make a very good high lemon, Sue.

00:13:10Oh.

00:13:15Perhaps not.

00:13:22For your brood.

00:13:27Don't take it as a breakthrough.

00:13:39For yourself.

00:13:40Ladies and gentlemen.

00:14:02Wedding?

00:14:03What wedding?

00:14:04Your sister gave us the impression he was getting married.

00:14:05I'm not getting married.

00:14:06Oh, sorry.

00:14:07I must have made a mistake.

00:14:08No, no.

00:14:35I'll tell you.

00:14:37Shiggins, look.

00:14:39I was caught in a girl, years ago, when my mother died.

00:14:43Our Annie came back to look after the house.

00:14:46Not soon prepared for that.

00:14:48Oh, I'm sorry.

00:14:50As things have turned out, I'm not.

00:14:55I'll tell you've been so good to us.

00:14:58I wish there was something I could do on your turn.

00:15:01No.

00:15:02Yeah.

00:15:03Would you like us to teach you to read?

00:15:06Teach me to read?

00:15:09I like that very much.

00:15:12How are you? We'll buy up the time.

00:15:40Well, you seem loaded up.

00:15:42Been out begging again?

00:15:43Begging?

00:15:44You begged hard enough for a job at Moor House, and you've caused no but trouble since.

00:15:49What do you mean, trouble?

00:15:52You know fine well.

00:15:54Our tall never knows if he's coming or going with errands for you, but teaching him to read

00:15:59and write from Bairns' books, you've made the man a laughingstock.

00:16:04Miss Briston, your only laughingstock I can see is a better old spinster who's terrified

00:16:11Tollard go out and go a life his own and she might have to work for herself like plenty

00:16:15better people have to. Oh, you're trouble all right. I've seen your type before.

00:16:27I'm sorry to disturb you.

00:16:28I always cut through here. Allow me. What have you been buying? I've got some clothing

00:16:38sat in the room. What? Other people's cast-offs? The gentleman's and lady's like. Overlined.

00:16:46Good material. I overheard our friend accuse you of teaching Toll his letters. Yes, sir.

00:16:53Only in the evenings, you. After work. Of course. But what about your children? Shouldn't you be thinking about their education?

00:17:01Oh, come on, dearie. Stay on. Stay with you. Stop fidgeting.

00:17:09Hey, Tom. Hey, Tom. Hey, Tom. Guess what? What? The master's going to make us go to school.

00:17:26What school? School to school around here. I was going to teach him in the library two hours every morning.

00:17:32Aye. On top of working all day and all. It's marvellous, isn't it, David?

00:17:36It's marvellous. It's unheard of. I bet you can't wait, eh, David?

00:17:41Yeah. Can I have a word, right?

00:17:43Come on. Come on.

00:17:45I'll see you later.

00:17:46Kill.

00:17:54I know what you're going to see.

00:17:56Aye, well, then.

00:17:58Doesn't take any leading up to, then, does it?

00:18:03I just hope our Ronnie didn't upset you.

00:18:06Well, if she upset me, I'll certainly upset her.

00:18:16Oh, Raya.

00:18:23I wouldn't make anything to spoil what's between us.

00:18:29The way I'm placed, I can't say what I want.

00:18:32I think you know what's going on in me mind.

00:18:43Ma!

00:18:44Ma, you lost I want you?

00:18:45Come with me.

00:18:57Come with me.

00:19:13Would you be able to make shirts for the boys out of these?

00:19:43Yeah, but that's... it's silk?

00:19:51Oh, no, sir, it's much too good.

00:19:54They have a change on Sunday, don't they?

00:19:56Well, yes, but...

00:19:57Well, then, make them Sunday shirts.

00:20:00Workday material you'll find in that trunk.

00:20:04These belong to my mother, mostly plain, except for this.

00:20:13It was my mother's favorite.

00:20:22She always wore it on special occasions.

00:20:25It's lovely.

00:20:27I think so.

00:20:30Every other thing you can use.

00:20:36Only get rid of that dirty rubbish you bought today.

00:20:40God knows who wore those last few.

00:20:52I am grateful to you for all your kindness.

00:20:54Nonsense, my thanks are long overdue.

00:20:56What?

00:20:57What?

00:20:58Being able to help in this way, I shall not now feel under such an obligation to you.

00:21:06Raya.

00:21:07You know, sometimes you don't look like much older than your daughter.

00:21:16What is true in the sentences again?

00:21:30The worms are ammo, my love, which is irregular.

00:33:04No!

00:33:05No!

00:33:06No!

00:33:07No!

00:33:08No!

00:33:09No!

00:33:10No!

00:33:11No!

00:33:12No!

00:33:13No!

00:33:14No!

00:33:15No!

00:33:16No!

00:33:17No!

00:33:18Leave off me!

00:33:19Davy!

00:33:20Please, Davy!

00:33:21Davy!

00:33:22Davy!

00:33:23Don't worry!

00:33:24You kept holding us, Ma!

00:33:25You kept holding us!

00:33:26You kept holding us!

00:33:27I'm gonna get tall!

00:33:28Oh!

00:33:29Don't you feel like a father?

00:33:30Why?

00:33:31Oh!

00:33:32Oh!

00:33:33Oh!

00:33:34Oh!

00:33:35Oh!

00:33:36Oh!

00:33:37Oh!

00:33:38Oh!

00:33:39Oh!

00:33:40Oh!

00:33:41Oh!

00:33:42Oh!

00:33:43Oh!

00:33:44Oh!

00:33:45Oh!

00:33:46Oh!

00:33:47Oh!

00:33:48Oh!

00:33:49Oh!

00:33:50Oh!

00:33:51Oh!

00:33:52Oh!

00:33:53Now, hold him still.

00:34:23Now, hold him still.

00:34:51Where's Davy?

00:35:03Davy's with me, Raya.

00:35:11He's not coming back.

00:35:21I can get him set on as a stable lad up at the house.

00:35:26That's what the lad always wanted.

00:35:29It's what the master wanted, of course, this.

00:35:32Miller didn't even know where.

00:35:35He must be very fond of your family.

00:35:39And you.

00:35:41Ah, he's fond of Bairns, all right.

00:35:44But not be a woman.

00:35:49Leave some room for pity, lass.

00:35:51I'm sorry, lass.

00:36:05Up to you, no more.

00:36:09Up to you.

00:36:11What is?

00:36:12Whether I walk or not?

00:36:13Exactly.

00:36:15You'll be still alone.

00:36:17You'll be here to try it.

00:36:18Keep crying.

00:36:19I'll correct you next time.

00:36:27I'll send him a crutch.

00:36:30Good day.

00:36:31Did you ever hear the like?

00:36:36He's right, though.

00:36:38What do you mean, he's right?

00:36:41You'll have to make an effort and fend for yourself.

00:36:44Me and the Bairns are going.

00:36:45Might I ask why?

00:36:56You're not natural.

00:36:59You're dirty.

00:37:00Don't you dare apply that word to me, woman.

00:37:07Never.

00:37:08What I felt for your son was good.

00:37:10It was blameless.

00:37:11Only your word for that.

00:37:12I love the boy.

00:37:13I love the boy.

00:37:16I still do.

00:37:18As I might a son.

00:37:19There are all kinds of love, Raya.

00:37:27I have always loved beauty, whatever form it might be.

00:37:30Nothing makes amends for Davy.

00:37:32I intend to go to Tull, no matter what.

00:37:38No, you won't, Raya.

00:37:39You cannot stop us.

00:37:41Oh, yes, I can.

00:37:46You attempt to leave this house,

00:37:48and I'll immediately inform the justices that your son attacked me.

00:37:52You know what would be the result of that.

00:37:57You'd see him transported.

00:37:59You'd let him rock and chill.

00:38:00I would go to any lengths to keep you here.

00:38:04I've already sacrificed my life to preserve the purity of my love.

00:38:09Because of my weakness,

00:38:10I gave up teaching, fled temptation to shut myself up here.

00:38:15If you and your family deserted me now, I would have nothing.

00:38:22I swear it, Raya.

00:38:26I will do exactly as I say.

00:38:42Your mother's gown was payment for my son, wasn't it?

00:38:52What?

00:39:04Hello, Tull.

00:39:07How are you?

00:39:14Tull, are you all right?

00:39:16All right.

00:39:17Let's get on this.

00:39:18Dear Tull,

00:39:19Annie wants to stay on here.

00:39:23She has taken the town life and his company for me.

00:39:26Hope you don't mind your loving, Sister Mary.

00:39:28Mind?

00:39:30Raya, when you taught us to read,

00:39:32I never thought I would be as happy as I was reading that letter.

00:39:35The road's clear, Raya.

00:39:41The road's clear.

00:39:44No.

00:39:46No.

00:39:49Sit down, Tala.

00:39:56Hey, hey, hey.

00:39:57Hey, hey, hey.

00:40:02Can I be, Tala?

00:40:06I can't go away with you.

00:40:10The master says

00:40:11if I leave this house, he'll tell the justices about dearly.

00:40:15I have to tell him the doctor it was an accident.

00:40:20They won't believe him.

00:40:22They will.

00:40:23He's gently, Tala, and so are they.

00:40:25I'll gently be down.

00:40:26I'm going to him.

00:40:28Tala!

00:40:29Tala!

00:40:31It won't do any good, Tala.

00:40:33And I can't take any more harm.

00:40:37What am I supposed to do?

00:40:40Wait till he softens or pegs out.

00:40:42I want to marry you, woman.

00:40:48And you want to marry me.

00:40:49Go on, deny it.

00:40:56Right!

00:40:56Right then!

00:40:58Understand this.

00:41:00I have my needs.

00:41:01And if you're going to give in to him,

00:41:03I'm going to find somebody to take your place.

00:41:06Do you understand that?

00:41:07I tell her, Tala, do.

00:41:09And you listen to me.

00:41:11I have my needs and all.

00:41:14I wish you luck in your choice.

00:41:16But I'd like to think that I'd be picked

00:41:18for something else besides.

00:41:20Now, do you understand that?

00:41:22No, no, no.

00:41:52I smell burning, Raya.

00:42:06You would.

00:42:10What were you burning?

00:42:14Nothing.

00:42:20Just your mother's game.

00:42:22Oh, Raya.

00:42:30Raya.

00:42:36Raya!

00:42:41Raya!

00:42:43Raya!

00:42:44Raya!

00:43:53Raya!

00:43:54Raya!

00:43:55Are you all right?

00:44:23Short and anything but sweet.

00:44:25Sit down, Biddy.

00:44:45When I die, your life will change somewhat.

00:44:49You wouldn't die if you took care of yourself.

00:44:52Biddy, your mother has started asking in the village for another job when this one's over.

00:44:59No, but she just...

00:45:00Don't deny it.

00:45:01But Dr. Pritchard told me, as part of his knack, for cheering me up.

00:45:09Will Davy be at the house this Sunday?

00:45:16I should never have told you he comes here.

00:45:19No, but you did.

00:45:23Think about Davy for me, Biddy.

00:45:30Eh?

00:45:31Come on, quick.

00:45:45You can't lean on me.

00:45:55Careful.

00:45:55I don't know.

00:46:25I'll be inside.

00:46:27Come on.

00:46:29She's seen us.

00:46:31Come on!

00:46:33Come on!

00:46:35You lie there.

00:46:41I'll go and make you something.

00:46:45Come on!

00:46:51By madam!

00:46:53I could not your blood!

00:46:55You think you know everything, don't you?

00:46:57Ma, he just wanted to see our Davey.

00:46:59I know! He just wanted to see him, so do you!

00:47:01Why? Our Davey's nothing but a big, gormless lout.

00:47:09You've been asking for that for a long time.

00:47:11You're getting far too big for your boots.

00:47:13Don't! Don't you ever hit us again for doing nothing wrong,

00:47:17or I'll hit you back!

00:47:19And as for your lovely son,

00:47:21he is a big, brainless lout,

00:47:23and he always will be!

00:47:25Yet you love him better than any of us!

00:47:27There, I'm telling you!

00:47:29There, I'm telling you!

00:47:31Okay.

00:47:33Oh, no!

00:47:39That's not funny, Dad.

00:47:41I'm sorry.

00:47:43Let me explain.

00:47:45We need to know something,

00:47:47and we'll have to move back.

00:47:49Let me explain.

00:47:51I'll be back if I'm sorry.

00:47:53I'll be back.

00:47:55I'll be back.

00:47:57I'll be back!

00:47:59Pray sit down, Mrs. Millicent.

00:48:14Now we are all present.

00:48:24I, Percival Rigmore Miller of Moorhouse in the county of Durham,

00:48:29to hereby leave the freehold property with its three acres of land

00:48:34and all contents in trust to Mariah Milligan until she either dies or remarries.

00:48:43The house, all land and all contents, will then pass in its entirety to Bridget Milligan,

00:48:49daughter of Mariah, and on no account must any part or parcel of the property or contents

00:48:55be sold or removed. Should Mariah remarry, she must no longer reside on the property.

00:49:03I cannot leave any money to maintain the property, but do not doubt that Mariah,

00:49:08being an enterprising woman, will find a way to meet this expense.

00:49:12My own daughter? Why, that's not right. Mrs. Milligan, really?

00:49:16Even when he's dead, he'd keep me a spinster in this house. That's not right.

00:49:18Woman, don't you realize that you're the most fortunate of human beings?

00:49:23Yes, yes, indeed.

00:49:23Yes, you grumble at the conditions your master has laid down.

00:49:27Well, all I can say is he must have had good reasons for making them.

00:49:31If you mean what I think you mean, you can get out of this house right now.

00:49:46Go on out!

00:49:57And I was never his mistress. Never.

00:50:01Sit down.

00:50:25The master's left us the house.

00:50:26We've got the house! We've got the house!

00:50:36There's no money coming in now. There's no wages.

00:50:40Johnny?

00:50:42You can stay and look after the garden.

00:50:45Biddy?

00:50:45Biddy, you'll have to go into service.

00:50:54Oh, let me go, Ma. I can go work with Davy.

00:50:56You'll go where you're sent.

00:51:00But I've got to have some money about the place, haven't I?

00:51:02Oh, no, do you think?

00:51:03Oh, let me go.

00:51:03I can do that.

00:51:04Put it back to you every time.

00:51:05void.

00:51:07Here there you go.

00:51:18I'll do this now.

00:51:19So what do I feel?

00:51:20So does the eye

00:51:48only sleeve the brain.

00:51:52So does insanity its power gain.

00:51:56So does man look upon his kind.

00:52:01And with love drives out of mind his mind.

00:52:06So did I see David as a boy.

00:52:15I won't let your work go to waste.

00:52:18Whatever happens.

00:52:20I promise.

00:52:25I won't let your work go to waste.

00:52:27I won't let your work go to waste.

00:52:32I won't let your work go to waste.

00:52:34I won't let your work go to waste.

00:52:39I won't let your work go to waste.

00:52:46Wait to your face.

00:52:48Wait to your face.

00:52:53Wait to your face.

00:53:00Wait to your face.

00:53:02I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:07I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:15I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:22I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:24I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:30Wait.

00:53:31I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:37I won't let your work go to waste.

00:53:39Every other Sunday you'll have time off, from two until seven in the summer and from one until six in the winter.

00:53:46You do not speak unless spoken to, except for those on your own level, the three laundry mates and the lower kitchen staff.

00:53:56Do you understand me, girl?

00:53:59I understand you perfectly, Mrs. Fulton.

00:54:05Say goodbye to your mother.

00:54:10My bed.

00:54:12My mom.

00:54:13Yes, Miss Anne.

00:54:26Now, Miss Bridget, if I ever again hear you try to imitate your betters, you'll go without food and privileges until you know your place.

00:54:38Do you understand me?

00:54:41Yes.

00:54:42Yes, what?

00:54:44Mrs. Fulton.

00:54:45Yes, Mrs. Fulton, and never forget it.

00:55:08What's your name?

00:55:09Richard Millican.

00:55:10But I'm called Billy.

00:55:11Well, now on your number four.

00:55:12You, three!

00:55:13Show her the ropes.

00:55:14Mrs. Fulton's watch this one.

00:55:15She's troubled.

00:55:16You put the ropes in there to talk overnight.

00:55:17Then you bring them out first thing again.

00:55:18I'm sorry.

00:55:19Mrs. Fulton's watch this one.

00:55:20Mrs. Fulton's watch this one.

00:55:21She's troubled.

00:55:22Mrs. Fulton's watch this one.

00:55:23She's troubled.

00:55:24You put the ropes in there to talk overnight.

00:55:25Then you bring them out first thing in the morning through the mango.

00:55:26The water's freezing, but look at this.

00:55:27It's a Trousel week for them in the stables.

00:55:31Mrs. Fulton says watch this one.

00:55:39She's troubled.

00:55:40You put the roofs in there to soak overnight.

00:55:42Then you ring them out first thing in the morning through the mango.

00:55:45The water's freezing.

00:55:48It's trouser week for them in the stables.

00:55:50You've got to scrub the bottoms after the soak or four to go in the hot wash.

00:55:54Never boil.

00:55:55But these boil.

00:55:59You look flummoxed.

00:56:00Well, it's just that I never worked in a laundry room.

00:56:02What are you two up to?

00:56:04I told you to show her the ropes.

00:56:06I have, Mrs. Fitzsimmons.

00:56:08Get your head down over that tub before I stuck you in it.

00:56:12Enroll your sleeves up, you idiots.

00:56:26Stop it.

00:56:30I have them books.

00:56:43Yeah.

00:56:44Can you read them?

00:56:46Yeah, I can.

00:56:47Hey, Piddy.

00:56:50Would you read us a story the night, Piddy?

00:57:10I'd love to.

00:57:12What kind of stories do you like?

00:57:14Anything.

00:57:15I just love hearing people read it.

00:57:18Even the person.

00:57:21How would you like to write your name?

00:57:26Me.

00:57:27Write me name.

00:57:31Nobody can write their name here.

00:57:34Give me three months.

00:57:35I'll have you writing and reading like the best of them.

00:57:38I mean it.

00:57:41I will.

00:57:46Hey, Piddy.

00:57:46I'm glad you come.

00:57:49I never had a friend before.

00:57:50I hope that you're here.

00:57:52Come on.

00:57:53Give me my hair.

00:58:22Yes, madam.

00:58:28Another Christmas ding-dong, Hobson.

00:58:30I never thought to see it.

00:58:32You'll see many more, madam.

00:58:35Don't always say the right thing, Hobson.

00:58:42Get me to the window.

00:58:43Come on, Norman.

00:58:45Hurry, hurry.

00:58:48By God, what is she wearing?

00:58:59Why did my son have to marry a sanctimonious trollop like that?

00:59:10See, the snow's not deeper.

00:59:13I want the lot tonight, Hobson.

00:59:16Tiara and all.

00:59:17I want the

00:59:47It's good to have you home, Lawrence, even if it is only to guide my chair at Christmas.

01:00:17Let's not keep the servants standing, we've got a meal to see to.

01:00:47Thank you, Bob.

01:00:54Thank you, Bob.

01:01:04Go!

01:01:07You're behaving like a servant.

01:01:14Go!

01:03:16Thou need'st not fear mine.

01:03:18My spirit is too deeply laden ever to burden thine.

01:03:25I fear thy mane, thy tones, thy motion.

01:03:43Innocent is the heart's devotion with which I worship thine.
