02:12We deserve the right to vote.
02:14Hear, hear!
02:15Be heard as a part of the universal voice of mankind.
02:20We do not deserve to be imprisoned without representation.
02:25Force-fed like animals.
02:29Tubes thrust down our innocent throats.
02:34Bravo! Bravo!
02:46What do you think, John?
02:48All those ladies.
02:51Shouting.
02:53Can you bear one more lady?
02:55I'm going to finish up here and then we'll visit my aunt.
02:57As long as she's not a shout-on.
03:00John!
03:01Isn't it fantastic?
03:02For she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow.
03:16And a stone will say all of us.
03:18Oh, my dear.
03:20Come and blow the candles, sir.
03:22You do it, Fleur.
03:27Oh, well done!
03:33Let's get this cut, shall we?
03:35I can think of more profitable ways of spending my afternoon.
03:38Of course, the old girl has money to leave. Stacks of it.
03:42Do you think Winifred's in with the chance?
03:45We'll go to that pocket show.
03:48June!
03:50Darty.
03:51George.
03:52Been roped into the family, do?
03:54Do?
03:55Hester's birthday.
03:57Must be away with the fairies if she's invited you.
04:00I mean, it's not you. You know, it's family feud and all that.
04:05She hasn't invited me. I was in London and I thought I'd drop in.
04:08Oh.
04:09It'll be very nice to see everyone.
04:11And what a perfect opportunity for them all to meet John.
04:14John.
04:15John?
04:17Irene and father's boy, you know.
04:23Aunt Hester, apologies for the tiredness.
04:25Oh, George!
04:26A very happy birthday.
04:27How kind.
04:28Nice to see you, sir.
04:29Aunt Hester.
04:30Come on to you.
04:31Thank you, my dear, thank you.
04:34Any entertainment planned for this afternoon?
04:37What do you mean?
04:38Fireworks, perhaps?
04:40I will tell them you're here, Miss Forsythe.
04:41No need.
04:48Aunt Hester.
04:49It's your birthday.
04:50I should have remembered.
04:52June, my dear.
04:53How lovely to see you.
04:55We didn't think.
04:57I was at a meeting in Acton.
04:59Acton.
05:00It's quite close.
05:01The bus took hardly any time.
05:03The bus?
05:04This terrible injustice of force-feeding our women in prison.
05:08We have to protest against it.
05:10Hello, Soames.
05:12June.
05:13What are the authorities expected to do?
05:16Somebody stand by and let these hysterical women starve?
05:19It's a point of principle.
05:21I rather admire it.
05:22I'm sad if you start marching on...
05:25But will you do?
05:26Lock me up?
05:28I'm Soames' wife.
05:31Alex.
05:32Delighted to meet you.
05:36And this is my half-brother, John.
05:43Irene's son.
05:46He has her looks.
05:48Her eyes.
05:55Let's go into the garden.
05:57Come on.
05:58This way.
06:00It's a jolly nice garden.
06:01We'll find lots to play with.
06:02Come on.
06:03This way.
06:06My little baby, don't say a word.
06:10Daddy's going to buy you a mockingbird.
06:14If that mockingbird don't say...
06:18Daddy's going to buy you a diamond ring.
06:31Got you.
06:32Don't do that.
06:34What should I do, then?
06:35Tickle them.
06:44Come on, then.
06:45My dress.
06:46What about it?
06:47What next?
06:48We're going to catch him.
06:49No.
06:50Here he is.
06:51No.
06:52No.
06:53Here he is.
06:54No.
06:55I'm going after John.
06:56Are you all right?
06:57Fine.
06:58Some cake?
06:59No.
07:00I'm going after John.
07:01Are you all right?
07:02Fine.
07:03Some cake?
07:04No, thank you.
07:05More tea.
07:06Soames.
07:07Breast Fleur.
07:08Ha!
07:10Ha!
07:11Ha!
07:12Ha!
07:13Ha!
07:14Ha!
07:23Bob.
07:24Are you all right?
07:25Fine.
07:26Yes, Fleur.
07:43Fleur!
07:47Daddy?
07:53Come and see these fish. They're as big as sharks.
07:55Don't touch me.
07:57John!
07:58Inside.
07:59But...
08:00Now!
08:01Get that boy out of here.
08:02They were just playing.
08:03I don't want him anywhere near my daughter.
08:04For goodness sake.
08:06He's the result of a filthy liaison.
08:09Illegitimate in all but name.
08:11He's a dirty, savage little...
08:14That's enough.
08:16Stones, he's a child.
08:18Yes, and he's a great deal better behaved than you.
08:21Come on, John.
08:25What did I do wrong?
08:26Nothing.
08:27That man!
08:28He was so...
08:29We shan't talk of it.
08:31We shan't talk of it.
08:32And we shan't talk of it to mother or dad either when they come home tomorrow.
08:36It'll be our secret.
08:37It'll be our secret.
08:38It'll be our secret.
08:39It'll be our secret.
08:40It'll be our secret.
08:41It'll be our secret.
08:45It'll be our secret.
08:46It'll be our secret.
08:50You're secret.
08:51It'll be our secret.
08:52They will.
08:54And this will be our secret.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Fantastic.
08:58It's-
09:01...
09:05...
09:10We shan't talk too much.
09:11It's always such a joy to come back.
09:25You must be tired.
09:27No, no.
09:28Just longing to see you.
09:34There they are.
09:35I told you I heard a car.
09:38John!
09:40Mom!
09:40Dad!
09:41Look at your face!
09:45Look at you!
09:47You've been my watercolour.
09:49There's still wet!
09:51How are you?
09:52Hello.
09:53How was it?
09:54Good.
09:55How are you?
09:56Very well, thank you.
09:57We've had lots of fun.
09:58Yes, it looks like it.
09:59Cowboys.
10:08There's someone like this in London.
10:10London.
10:11London?
10:13We went to a rally.
10:14I helped decorate the banner.
10:16Then on to the aunt.
10:18Oh.
10:20Which...
10:21Whose aunt?
10:23We dropped in on Hester.
10:27It was fun, until the man got so angry.
10:30What did he do?
10:31What did he do?
10:33He shouted.
10:35At me.
10:40Oh, come on, Orchard.
10:42Let's see how she runs in the gallery.
10:45Like a bird, I bet.
10:46I didn't think Soames would be there.
10:53What did he do to John?
10:54Nothing.
10:55He upset him.
10:56I took him away.
10:57He shouldn't have been there in the first place.
10:59Is everything all right here?
11:03I'm going back to London.
11:04No.
11:04No, you were staying for supper.
11:06You don't want me.
11:07June, we love you.
11:09It's the only thing we couldn't do without you.
11:12Now, let's just forget this ever happened.
11:15And perhaps John will too.
11:17You don't want to do without you.
11:48Watch out, Ryan.
11:50It's better than you, Governor.
12:17You don't want to do without you.
12:18Blair?
12:20You there?
12:21Daddy.
12:22Just sit down.
12:22I'll be out in a minute.
12:23I think you'll love it.
12:24What do you think?
12:50The neckline's rather low.
12:52It is the fashion, sir.
12:54The fashion.
12:56Is it the fashion to have beggars in the streets?
13:00Women riding a stride down the row?
13:03There's nothing wrong with riding a stride.
13:05In my book, there's a great deal wrong with it.
13:09Gentlemen used to ride in Hyde Park.
13:12Cavalry seats.
13:14White top hats.
13:17The wars changed everything.
13:19It's all right, Daddy.
13:20And that's for girls like her, short skirts and common airs.
13:27Don't you like the dress?
13:29Because if you don't, I shan't wear it.
13:32I worry about you.
13:34There's no need.
13:35Parties all night, up till dawn.
13:37I'm quite capable of looking after myself.
13:41I'm not going to do anything silly.
13:43These parties are just playing.
13:45Doing what's required.
13:47Yours won't be.
13:49Mine has a fighting chance because you're organising it.
13:53Are you lunching with anyone?
13:56No.
13:56Let's go to Fortnum's and eat cake.
14:08But who are they?
14:09Can't you see, Dad?
14:12It's Cupid and Psyche, of course.
14:15Of course.
14:15Thank you, John.
14:17Vospovich is an innovator.
14:19He escaped from Russia in 1916.
14:22Bring them in, John.
14:23One, two, three.
14:28Careful.
14:29She's not paying me, you know.
14:37Bit to your left.
14:41Perfect.
14:49I know it's the new thing, but...
14:52Crikey.
14:53Great lovers of mythology.
14:56And this is how he represents them.
15:00People are bored with sentiment.
15:04Love has been bombed as smithereens.
15:07What does it mean anymore?
15:11Everything.
15:13It still means everything.
15:15Everything.
15:15It still means everything.
15:23It still means everything.
15:38What does it mean anymore?
15:42Julian!
15:52Charles.
15:54You didn't walk?
15:56Traffic seems to have doubled so far.
16:00How's Irene?
16:02Just well.
16:04And John?
16:06Just down from school. Doesn't know what he wants to do.
16:09Like all of us were at that age.
16:12Whew.
16:28So, palpitations you say?
16:31If I exert myself.
16:33Where?
16:36And are they happening now?
16:38Feels like the blessed thing is trying to jump out of my chest.
16:45Let's check you over, Charlie.
16:50You were right to come and see me.
16:53Your pulse is fluttering.
16:55But I'm most concerned about your blood pressure.
16:58It's high.
16:59Very.
17:01I can give you some pills, but...
17:04But what?
17:10I'm afraid you're in a bad way, old chap.
17:12You must look after yourself.
17:19Change your routine.
17:22No physical exertion whatsoever.
17:29And I want to see you regularly, of course.
17:31Proper diet's essential.
17:32Irene should read up on it.
17:34I can't tell her.
17:36You must.
17:38I can't tell her.
17:42You must.
17:48Whoa!
17:50Okay, let's do some of the bits later.
17:52Okay, let's go around.
17:55Whoo!
17:57Whoo!
17:58Whoo!
17:59Whoo!
18:00Whoo!
18:01Whoo!
18:03Whoo!
18:05Whoo!
18:07Whoo!
18:09Well done!
18:11Bravo!
18:15Oh, Dad!
18:17Hello, Holly.
18:18Hmm.
18:19Now, don't tell me.
18:20Now you're going to be a jazz pianist.
18:22There are worse things.
18:24Working in June's gallery, for one.
18:25What was it like?
18:26Oh.
18:28It's the future.
18:29God help me.
18:31Well, I hope you were nice, Dad.
18:32The gallery means an awful lot to June.
18:36Well, it's honest.
18:38Ah.
18:39Well, we have been concocting the plan.
18:42Yes.
18:43I am going to be a farmer.
18:46Aha!
18:47Go on.
18:49Arable farm near our new place.
18:51A chap called Maple.
18:52Needs extra hands for the harvest.
18:57Keep you out of trouble, I suppose.
18:59Getting away from you lot, I suppose.
19:01The sooner the better.
19:04Well, don't stop dancing.
19:06I have to remind you, I am entitled to bid on behalf of the owner until the reserve is reached.
19:14Lots 24 and 63 have been withdrawn.
19:18I hope you will all bid generously on behalf of this worthy charity.
19:23And without further ado, let us now proceed to lot one.
19:26It's just started.
19:28A pair of lovely Derby fifties donated by Lady Heath in memory of Captain John Heath, lost at Flanders.
19:37Philip William Heath, lost at the Somme.
19:40Lot 429, a copy of Degas's Girl at the Milliners.
19:47Who will give me £20 for Mrs Lewisham's generous offering?
19:51£20 anywhere.
19:53£20, gentlemen in the Homburg.
19:54£25.
19:55£25, gentlemen at the top table.
19:58£30.
19:59£30 bid.
20:00£35.
20:01£35.
20:02£40.
20:04£40 to the Homburg.
20:09£50.
20:11£50, new bidder.
20:12We have £50, ladies and gentlemen.
20:15And may I remind you that every shilling made tonight is going to the War Widows.
20:20£55.
20:21£55.
20:25£70.
20:26£70.
20:28£80.
20:29£80.
20:30£100.
20:32£100.
20:33We have £100.
20:38Was that your final offer, sir?
20:41Then I'm selling it.
20:43Sold.
20:44£100.
20:51Excuse me.
20:54She looks like a minx.
21:00She looks like my daughter.
21:03By Jove, what a face.
21:05Degas, remarkable, even though it's a coffee.
21:07Michael Mont.
21:08Soames Foresight.
21:09Why did you want her?
21:10The life in her.
21:11I have an original Degas, if you'd like to see that.
21:16And a few others you might recognise.
21:17Well, that's awfully kind of you, sir.
21:18I'll drop in like a bird.
21:19Anything modern.
21:20Expressionism's not my thing.
21:23But you're a collector.
21:24We now have a figure for the total amount raised this evening.
21:26Um, Mr. Mott, if you could come forward, please.
21:28There's a new gallery just opened on Cork Street, meant to be very rum.
21:29You should sniff it out.
21:31A warm hand, please, for the man who's organised this whole event.
21:32Applause.
21:33That's awfully kind of you, sir.
21:34So, I'll drop in like a bird.
21:35Anything modern.
21:36Expressionism's not my thing.
21:37But you're a collector.
21:38We now have a figure for the total amount raised this evening.
21:43Um, Mr. Mott, if you could come forward, please.
21:46There's a new gallery just opened on Cork Street, meant to be very rum.
21:50You should sniff it out.
21:51A warm hand, please, for the man who's organised this whole event.
21:59Applause.
22:01Captain Michael Montt was my son's officer.
22:11He was there when David died.
22:19My family would like to thank him for his friendship to my son
22:24and his compassion to us.
22:31No one can guess who I am, Daddy.
22:49Come on, it's obvious.
22:55Mercury, messenger to the gods.
22:58Volatile, light-hearted, and rather mischievous.
23:04Well done, Soam.
23:06Shall we go through?
23:09The boring Surrey lot.
23:11Where does Mother find them?
23:12Are you joining us, Fleur?
23:29Or would you prefer the nurse, are you?
23:32Your friends enjoyed themselves?
23:37Fleur.
23:48Your friends enjoyed themselves?
23:49I want to put Fleur over my knee.
23:56It was a joke.
23:57She's capricious.
23:59A little restive, perhaps.
24:01She and I will go to London, take in some galleries.
24:13You're ruining her, and you can't even see it.
24:17She needs someone to say no to her.
24:19You could influence her if you wanted to, if you had the strength.
24:33New dress?
24:36Expensive, I suppose.
24:40Shockingly.
24:40It's too low here.
25:04That's the one.
25:05Number three.
25:06The mayfly filly.
25:07Can I ride out while I'm staying with you?
25:09You'll be too busy working.
25:10Oh, come on.
25:12Maybe at the weekends.
25:21Val!
25:22Oh, Lord, what's he doing here?
25:24Hello, Dad.
25:26Hello, old boy.
25:29You know your old cousin, George?
25:31Of course, George.
25:32Val.
25:33And this is a friend of mine, Prosper Profond.
25:36He's over from Belgium.
25:37My son, Val Darty, back from foreign climes.
25:43Ah, how do you do?
25:45How do you do?
25:46And this is John.
25:47John Forsythe.
25:48Nice to see you.
25:49Hello.
25:50Good Lord.
25:51Goodness me.
25:52Young John.
25:55Hello.
25:55Well, I hear you are a stud farmer, Mr. Darty.
26:02You found yourself some land over here.
26:04Are you buying, Mr. Profond?
26:06Oh, I'm always buying.
26:07And you?
26:08If I can afford it.
26:11Number three, a small thing, but fine.
26:14That's what I thought.
26:16I might bet.
26:17None of these worth wasting land, sir.
26:18Well, I've yet to find something that is.
26:21Ha, ha, ha, ha.
26:22Would you excuse me?
26:45It works better if you look at it from this angle.
27:01I haven't seen you in years.
27:06Not since before the war.
27:09I read about St. John's son.
27:11Terrible.
27:13Fortunately, most of the four sites were spared.
27:15Too old or too young.
27:16A blessing.
27:18Mm.
27:23It's Cupid and Psyche.
27:24You can see their faces, kissing.
27:29Ha, what stuff?
27:31A lamp person in collision with an omnibus.
27:34A vision of the future.
27:37You've invested in this?
27:39It's my gallery.
27:40I thought you knew.
27:42I must be making a dead loss.
27:49I heard you collect art.
27:51Indeed.
27:52You obviously don't understand it.
27:55For you, it's about possession.
27:58Buying and selling.
28:00It always has been.
28:02Soames Foresight.
28:05The greatest grocer of them all.
28:11There are some things you can't buy, Soames.
28:15Remember.
28:20You still haven't learned.
28:24Excuse me.
28:34This is by Pool Post, Mum.
28:37It's good, isn't it?
28:40It's interesting.
28:42This is him too.
28:43Daddy.
29:09Daddy.
29:10Daddy.
29:10What an extraordinary gallery.
29:15We're leaving.
29:17I just arrived.
29:19It's all so jolly.
29:22Fleur.
29:24I feel unwell.
29:31Fleur.
29:36Fleur.
29:37Tomato blobs.
29:42Or is it a sunset?
29:44Airplanes.
29:45Coming into land, apparently.
29:46Lee.
29:47Let's go and find you.
29:55Tom.
29:55Tom.
29:55We have to go.
29:56Let's go and find you.
29:57Tom.
29:57We have to go.
30:00Let's go and find June.
30:10Don?
30:13We have to go.
30:17Flora.
30:27Do we know him from somewhere?
30:29I need some air.
30:30Wait.
30:31Is this yours?
30:33F. F. Fleur Forsyte. It's mine, all right.
30:36Forsyte?
30:37Well, that's my name, too.
30:40Perhaps we're cousins.
30:43Yes.
30:44That day in the garden.
30:51Cousins?
30:52Distant, perhaps.
30:53My name's Julian, sir.
30:55John, for short.
30:57Oh, yes.
30:59Distant.
31:00Very good.
31:01Goodbye.
31:02Goodbye.
31:03Who are they?
31:04You know them.
31:05Who are they?
31:06I mean, you know them.
31:08Not well.
31:09Are they family?
31:10Your grandfather and his brother had a quarrel.
31:13We don't know that side of the family.
31:16We don't know that side of the family.
31:18What feud.
31:19How romantic.
31:20How romantic.
31:21If you want to please me, you'll put these people out of your head.
31:22Poor daddy, you're upset.
31:23Poor daddy, you're upset.
31:24We'll talk about this later.
31:25We will not.
31:26I'm not your daughter for nothing, my dear.
31:27If I want something, I generally get it.
31:29So if you won't tell me, I shall find it out another way.
31:30Or Hollywood.
31:31Or Hollywood.
31:32Or Hollywood.
31:33Or Hollywood.
31:34Or Hollywood.
31:35Anybody is quite important that I speak to her.
31:36It really is quite important that I speak to her.
32:03It's quite important that I speak to her.
32:05But she's entertaining.
32:06Oh, I'm sure she won't mind.
32:07Miss Fleur.
32:09Miss Fleur.
32:10My goodness.
32:11It's from Paris.
32:13Prosper, my niece Fleur.
32:15Ah, Mademoiselle Enchantée.
32:16Your aunt says she's never been to Paris, so I bring Paris to her.
32:20I'm far too old for this.
32:23Sacrilege!
32:24In France, no one is too old.
32:30We're just about to have lunch.
32:31Please stay.
32:32It was a quick call, actually.
32:35I met someone this morning.
32:36John Forsyte?
32:38Do you know him?
32:41A distant cousin.
32:43How distant?
32:45Oh, we don't keep in touch.
32:48His mother was beautiful.
32:51Oh.
32:52Well, I never really knew her.
32:55Is that his way, Mum?
32:56Oh, thank you, Dora.
32:57Now, where is Monty?
32:59Are you sure you won't eat for her?
33:02No, thank you.
33:04John Forsyte.
33:05Young.
33:07My age?
33:09I met him with your val.
33:11Oh.
33:12Splendid boy.
33:13Then you must know them.
33:15Then you must know them.
33:16Let's go in.
33:23Here, Father.
33:24Okay.
33:27We had an encounter today.
33:30Hmm.
33:30With whom?
33:37Sam's.
33:39Oh, my darling.
33:42Must have been awful for you.
33:43Oh.
33:43All of these years later, and he can still make my skin crawl.
34:00Oh, Daddy.
34:05It's beautiful.
34:09Glad you like it.
34:10I love it.
34:14There.
34:15Now you're ready.
34:19Happy birthday.
34:30It's you, Mum.
34:36Is cousin Val coming tonight?
34:38I believe so.
34:40With Winifred and Doughty.
34:42Why?
34:43We haven't seen him in ever so long.
34:46He's been abroad.
34:50Wasn't it more than that?
34:52He married someone, the daughter of a cousin Daddy doesn't like.
34:56It's complicated.
34:58Foresight history.
35:01One more thing.
35:03Hurry up, Fleur.
35:04You'll be late.
35:05Okay.
35:13Terrific of you to invite me, sir.
35:14You're early.
35:15My daughter's not yet down.
35:16Ah, I see.
35:17There's the picture.
35:23She's in good company.
35:25You go again.
35:29A marvellous house.
35:30Were you in the war, Mr. Mond?
35:52Yes, I was.
35:53How riveting.
35:55Did you have a terrible time?
35:56Yes, I did.
35:57This party is a bore, isn't it?
36:04Not from where I'm standing.
36:06Are you going to dance?
36:07May I bag a spot on your list?
36:12There's my cousin Val with his wife Holly.
36:14Excuse me.
36:15First dance, Mandy.
36:17Oh, Daddy, of course.
36:18Thank you so much for persuading Soames to invite Val and Holly.
36:44I so want everyone to get on.
36:46It's the least I could do.
36:47Oh, this is Prosper Profond.
36:59Shall we?
37:01Prosper's got immaculate manners.
37:18I'm dancing with a hostess.
37:20It's only right to profit.
37:21You're a good dancer, Daddy.
37:33You should do it more often.
37:34Have fun.
37:36Happy birthday.
37:37There's Aunt Winifred's boat.
37:44Monsieur Profond, this is my husband, Soames.
37:48Nice to meet you.
37:48And my daughter, Fleur.
37:50We've met.
37:51Exacto.
37:55Are you here on business, Mr. Profond?
37:59Pleasure.
37:59Mr. Profond made money in the war, Soames.
38:03Shares in armaments.
38:05He tells me he likes to give it away.
38:08I'm always making money.
38:10I want little for myself.
38:12I like my friends to have it.
38:17Excuse me, Soames.
38:20Val and Holly.
38:22Very nice to see you again.
38:23Well, good to see you, Uncle Soames.
38:32Would you excuse us for a moment?
38:38You could at least try.
38:40For Winifred's sake.
38:42They should never have come back from South Africa.
38:44And that's another channel.
38:45Profond.
38:46They can't abide foreigners.
38:47Then why did you marry one?
38:53This is Mrs. Dougherty.
38:57Oh, child.
38:59I am sure.
39:00Wow.
39:08Do you know anything about John Forsythe?
39:11I'm sorry to come out with it like this, but you're my last hope.
39:14Everyone around here speaks a buttoned up.
39:16He's coming to stay with us next week.
39:18With you?
39:19It's Holly's half-brother, don't you know?
39:21I know nothing.
39:23Uh, it's best not to bring these things up.
39:26Bring what things up?
39:28Fleur.
39:29How you've grown.
39:30We haven't seen you in so long.
39:33Wouldn't it be jolly if we could be friends?
39:35Cousin Val says I can come and stay at your new farm.
39:38Maybe later in the summer.
39:40I thought next week.
39:42It's rather difficult.
39:45Aunt Winifred.
39:46Val and Holly have invited me to stay next week.
39:49Isn't that sporting of them?
39:50Oh, what a lovely idea.
39:52Miss Forsythe.
39:54Please, please will you dance with me?
39:58Excuse me.
40:02Excuse me.
40:05What are we going to do about John?
40:08It's almost as if Fleur knew he was coming.
40:10She asked me outright.
40:13Tell me by surprise.
40:15How?
40:15They can't have met.
40:17I don't see how.
40:19She is a Dursler.
40:20Good night.
40:37Good night.
40:38Good night.
40:38A lovely party.
40:47Put some colour into your cheeks.
40:49I danced all night.
40:52With Michael Moult.
40:54And others.
40:56Good night, my love.
40:57Cousin Belle's asked me down to stay.
41:04But we don't see them.
41:06He has wonderful horses and he says I can ride out with him.
41:09Claire.
41:09It's only a few days.
41:13Please, Daddy.
41:16Well.
41:19That keeps you out of trouble.
41:26Night, night.
41:27Night, Daddy.
41:28Night, night.
41:52Night, night.
42:24We're pretty basic round here.
42:32I hope you don't mind.
42:34Of course not.
42:39I'm sorry Val's not here to greet you.
42:42He's exercising a new horse.
42:46He must be very busy.
42:47He is.
42:48I'm afraid you'll be fearfully bored.
42:56Not at all.
42:57I'm here to get to know you, remember?
43:08So, it's just the two of you here?
43:10Who else would there be?
43:18Holly!
43:19I left my book upstairs in my bedroom.
43:34This is John, my little brother.
43:37Fleur's a cousin of ours, John.
43:40How do you do?
43:40I hot-footed it back here on my lunch break.
43:49I have to go.
43:50From where?
43:51On Maples Farm.
43:53We're harvesting.
43:53The book, then?
43:54Hmm?
43:57The book.
43:59Right.
43:59The book.
44:21You're staying with me.
44:22What are you doing?
44:45Such a glorious morning, I thought I'd get out.
44:49You don't know the countryside around here?
44:52Shall I take the dog?
44:54No, thank you.
44:58I might be gone all day, so please don't worry.
45:10Where are you going?
45:11Goodbye.
45:11Goodbye.
45:12Goodbye.
45:14Goodbye.
45:16I'm looking for Michael Farr.
45:46It's up there on the left.
45:49A couple of miles yet.
45:50A couple of miles yet.
46:20A couple of miles yet.
46:48Oh, blast!
47:12I'm looking for John Forsyte.
47:16He's not here.
47:18Go on.
47:20Yeah, go on.
47:21Go say hello.
47:22Go on, John.
47:23Go on, John.
47:24Go on.
47:43Hello.
47:45I thought you might
47:46like some sandwiches, but I see you've already eaten.
47:50Thanks.
47:52I think I'll pass.
47:55They got mucked up on the way here.
47:59So did my lovely new shoes.
48:02I thought it would be nice, but it's such a long way, and I forgot to bring anything to drink.
48:07I'm very glad that you came.
48:09Why do I always end up covered in mud whenever I'm anywhere near you?
48:16Anywhere near you?
48:26Come on in, Ash.
48:29Thank you very much, Emma.
48:30I've been clever tracking you down.
48:31You know, ever since that day at Aunt Hester's, I've always wondered, who was he? Why was everyone so furious?
48:37And then, in the gallery, wasn't it awkward?
48:38My father had passed out.
48:39I found out why.
48:40There's a feud between our families.
48:41That's why I pretended we hadn't met yesterday.
48:42Are you a good liar?
48:43Not very.
48:44Oh.
48:45They don't mean us to be friends, you see, so if we want to, we've been friends that day at Aunt Hester's,
48:48but I've always wondered, who was he? Why was everyone so furious?
48:51And then, in the gallery, wasn't it awkward?
48:55My father had passed out.
48:57I found out why.
48:58There's a feud between our families.
49:02And that's why I pretended we hadn't met yesterday.
49:06Are you a good liar?
49:08Not very.
49:10Oh.
49:11They don't mean us to be friends, you see, so if we want to, then sit down.
49:15to be.
49:17Which we do.
49:22Then we must keep it a secret.
49:28Come on, let's talk about this on the way home.
49:31There's a quicker route as the crow flies.
49:33I've told them.
49:34I'll walk you.
49:45So, you're going to be a farmer?
49:49Maybe.
49:50I like the work.
49:53The people.
49:55Of course, farming's not the grand thing, but...
49:59I don't really care about that.
50:12John, John, the farmer's son,
50:13stole a pig and away he ran.
50:43The house place is just over that hill.
50:49Then I'll go on alone.
50:51They mustn't see us together.
50:53That's ridiculous.
50:54You don't know my father.
50:56I'm an only child.
50:57And so are you.
50:58There's so much expected of us.
51:00My mother would never stop me from doing anything that made me happy.
51:03I'm sure your father's the same now.
51:05Come on.
51:06What are you doing?
51:08I'm coming with you.
51:10Well, don't walk so fast then.
51:13I can't give up.
51:14I can't give up.
51:23Should we?
51:24You know, the boys, a couple of years on from me at school,
51:33talked about what they were going to do,
51:35what the girls were going to meet,
51:37and then they joined up.
51:40It's a beastly thing.
51:43They died so young.
51:45I want to try everything.
51:49Live forever.
51:50Love everybody.
51:52I'll be telling.
51:54Stay on here.
52:08All right, then I will.
52:24Bye.
52:25Bye.
52:54Bye.
52:55Bye.
