00:28Shhh
00:35So, Mary Hardacre has organized classes to help the local illiterates.
00:43You must invite her over.
00:46Why?
00:47We must offer our support, include a donation, and extend the invitation to the uncouth mother.
01:00Well, I hope this works.
01:02Well, you've dropped enough money at it.
01:03It's not been a misery, you.
01:04Get your feet off the desk.
01:06I'll put out the slates.
01:07Oh, Mrs Harris.
01:09Nice to see you again.
01:10Mrs Hardacre.
01:12This is my daughter-in-law, Mrs Elizabeth Hardacre.
01:15She's going to be helping us.
01:17And this is my mother.
01:24Hmm.
01:27These desks ought to be six inches further apart.
01:30To dissuade from fraternizing.
01:33I'll take those.
01:34I like to look my students in the eye as I hand them out.
01:37Communicates that I am in control.
01:41The floor clean and swept.
01:43Yes, Mr Beasley.
01:45Old furniture.
01:46Where to, Mrs Strider?
01:47The bonfire.
01:48Leave it out the back.
01:49Very swiftly, please.
01:51Master Harry's tutor is expected at any time.
01:56I have all those wretched things.
01:59I wasn't aware there was an alphabet board in the house.
02:02What's that, Mrs Dryden?
02:04A ridiculous apparatus.
02:06It was by misguided people under the illusion that one can contact the spirits through it.
02:11Really?
02:12Make sure that's first on the bonfire.
02:15Yes, Mrs. Strider.
02:35Right, hi.
02:37Mr Lewis is downstairs.
02:39I never asked for this.
02:40No, you didn't.
02:42But it is what you need.
02:44If you won't go back to school, a tutor is the best way to keep studying.
02:48I just want to forget about university.
02:51It's never going to happen.
02:52Harry, look at us.
02:55Remember where we came from.
02:56Now you have a chance to go to university.
02:58But you've got to bring something to the table.
03:01Just do your best.
03:03That's all I'm asking.
03:16Mr Lewis.
03:18Sir?
03:18This way, Mr Parker.
03:19Mr Hardacre is expecting you.
03:22Mr Lewis is admiring the artwork.
03:29So sorry.
03:31I glimpsed the pastoral on the wall and just had to investigate.
03:35I thought it might be a Gainsborough.
03:38Right.
03:39I'm Arthur Lewis.
03:40And I suspect you must be Master Hardacre.
03:43I prefer Harry.
03:44Of course.
03:45You'll find enough name on its own.
03:47Your Mr Beasley is going to show me to my room.
03:49And let us reconvene in one hour to begin our lessons.
03:54This way, Mr Lewis.
04:05Come on then, you lot.
04:07Take a seat.
04:08And make sure you listen to what Mrs Iris tells you.
04:10Thanks for spreading the word, Franny.
04:12It's not a bad turnout, considering.
04:14Aye.
04:15You're a diamond.
04:16Take your seats.
04:21Yes.
04:22Yes.
04:22Yes.
04:23Yes.
04:24Yes.
04:24Yes.
04:25Yes.
04:27I am Mrs. Harris.
04:30Many of you might prefer not to be here.
04:34Most of you will struggle.
04:36It's not my concern why you failed to complete your education the first time round.
04:40But you're here now.
04:42So you will listen to me.
04:44You will work hard.
04:45And you will benefit from my expertise.
04:48Reading, writing your names.
04:50You will remember this day as the first day of your new lives.
05:13Exactly, Grandma, I hate it, too.
05:15Don't say hate.
05:16I'm rather fond of it.
05:18It reminds me of a dress I wore in my first season.
05:21It's not the 70s.
05:22No, it just doesn't cut it.
05:25For autumn parties or a shoot.
05:27And those are the best opportunities to find a suitor.
05:31No, try on another.
05:35Oh, my goodness.
05:36I'm so sorry.
05:37I promised Liza I'd call on her.
05:39I believe securing a suitor is rather more important.
05:42And I shall return, Mama.
05:43But I told her I would take her a selection of my Jane Austen books.
05:46Go ahead, my dear.
05:48We'll reconvene tomorrow.
05:55You sound like a steam engine.
05:57I thought it was great that we were united against the influence of their family.
06:02With young friendships being so volatile, we are giving Adela time to draw her own conclusions about the heartache.
06:12Because, and rest assured, they will manifest.
06:26Why must finding her husband be so exhausting?
06:29I used to read Jane Austen for pleasure.
06:32Now I'm living the life of one of her heroines.
06:35Without, it seems, the final chapter.
06:38No?
06:38A happy ending, Liza.
06:41A handsome, raffish landowner on 5,000 years who carries me off into the sunset.
06:47That's a busy day.
06:49I'm deadly serious.
06:51Grandmama would have me parading in new gowns in Mayfair.
06:55And the Mars making me feel I might be a spinster forever.
06:58Well, I'd rather be a spinster than have to deal with fortune onto showing up after me money.
07:03Never wish to be a spinster, Liza.
07:05We must continue to hope that true love is out there.
07:10Maybe we could find out what's going to happen.
07:14If we ask the spirits.
07:26How are you?
07:36It's a great job, Joel.
07:38Just wanted to make it a bit special.
07:40Oh, glad you have.
07:42Numbers in tomorrow?
07:43Aye.
07:44First of each trading.
07:45What do you think, Hal?
07:47I think Joe's done very well.
07:50I will say, at the end of a day's trading, I'd like to see less on the shelves.
07:54But across all the shops we've refurbished, trade scenes, reasonable.
07:58And ensemble.
08:02Slowly and surely, young man.
08:04Again.
08:06Again.
08:07Sweep up.
08:08Straight down.
08:09Circle back.
08:10Again.
08:11Sweep up.
08:12Straight down.
08:13Circle back.
08:14Sweep up.
08:16And sweep down.
08:18Circle back.
08:19Sweep up.
08:20Straight down.
08:22A, B, Sweep up.
08:25Straight down.
08:27Again.
08:29Again.
08:32Try your other hand.
08:34Try your other hand.
08:36It can't get worse.
08:44I can't believe you've done this before.
08:48So the glass just moves on its own.
08:50But that is so creepy.
08:52The Americans call it a Ouija board.
08:55One of my friends from school was obsessed with seances.
08:58But I always found it a total bore.
09:00Usually nothing happens other than...
09:04A load of overexcited girls scaring themselves sick.
09:09I still wouldn't mind trying.
09:12Well, we need another person.
09:17A note for you, Miss Liza.
09:19On behalf of a Captain Edward Blackwood.
09:37Who is this Captain Blackwood?
09:40It's an officer, I mean.
09:42Betsy met last week in the Lucky Sailor.
09:44There's been a misunderstanding.
09:45He thinks I've dropped something and he's going to come and return it tomorrow.
09:49It all seems like a lot of fuss to me.
09:54Indeed.
10:01Excellent.
10:05So, these are your texts.
10:11You're a body naturalist.
10:13This is what I've been studying.
10:16Herbs, eh?
10:25We must work hard to achieve our ambition.
10:28Benefactum.
10:29How is your Greek?
10:31Not that good.
10:39I don't understand.
10:42No matter.
10:43We will come back to Greek.
10:44Shall we begin with some Latin words?
10:47Fine.
10:54We've a lot more letters to get through.
10:56So, please, focus.
10:58Otherwise, we'll be here till Christmas.
11:00Again.
11:01Again.
11:03Sweep up.
11:04Straight down.
11:05Circle back.
11:06Again.
11:08You're not listening to my instructions.
11:11I'm only asking of you what is asked of any five-year-old.
11:14Look at this.
11:16No, no, no.
11:17Please give it a chance.
11:18Don't leave.
11:19Look, you...
11:19I know it's not easy.
11:21Come on.
11:22You're here now, lad.
11:23No, I see.
11:23But the...
11:24No.
11:24No, no, no.
11:25Come on.
11:25You know you can do it.
11:26Give a go.
11:27Sit down.
11:27The sooner you accept that this is my classroom, not yours, the quicker you may actually learn
11:33something.
11:48I mean, I was practically begging him to stay, and that Mrs. Harris was walking behind me
11:52and barking orders at him.
11:55You never thought it was going to be easy, did you?
11:57No.
11:58No, you're looking so astrid.
12:00Was that me, tossing and turning?
12:01Oh, maybe.
12:04I just can't get over what a struggle it was.
12:06I mean, she didn't make it easy for him, but I thought they could stick it out.
12:09Well, I just don't know what they have yet.
12:11You've got to give it time.
12:13You're right.
12:15I won't bigger fights.
12:17Don't I know it?
12:18Mm-hmm.
12:19Just got to have a little patience.
12:22You do know that word, don't you?
12:24Patience.
12:25It's P.
12:26Eh?
12:26Get over.
12:34Good morning, Adela.
12:35Good morning.
12:37Grandmama, would you know of a captain at Edward Blackwood?
12:40He's calling on Liza today.
12:41Blackwood?
12:43Well, that can only be the Blackwoods of Suffolk.
12:47Of course, the Baron of Felixstowe.
12:50Call in on Liza Harding.
12:51He merely wishes to return something she dropped in town.
12:56Gentlemen.
12:58From a moneyed family of good standing.
13:01Perhaps you should be there when he does.
13:05Wouldn't that be rather crass?
13:07Also, I believe she rather likes him.
13:09I thought you said that she had several suitors and dismissed them all.
13:13Why should this be any different?
13:16And you are much more suited to a Baron, Adela.
13:19Yeah, what harm is there to meet a suitable prospect
13:24when no other intention has been declared?
13:28Jesus, it is.
13:30This isn't sustainable.
13:32Dad, move into.
13:36What's the urgent?
13:39Callum has the figures for the first week's trade.
13:41They're a little concerning, Joe.
13:43Right.
13:44Well, his first week.
13:46Yes, but it's smart to get ahead.
13:49So, Callum and I were talking...
13:50Without me.
13:51About our business.
13:53I think you need to put less fresh goods on.
13:55It looks better when the shop's stacked.
13:58Looks like we're thriving.
13:59Yes, but it doesn't matter if we're not selling.
14:01Doing this is a stretch in the family finances.
14:03We're taking a risk.
14:04Joe, I think your ideas are good.
14:06But the problem is overstocking and wastage.
14:09Dad, you signed off on this.
14:10I know I did.
14:11But I need to see that you understand the numbers.
14:15Why are things not selling?
14:16What's causing the biggest loss?
14:18Is that fair enough?
14:20Yeah.
14:28Hi, Miss Liza.
14:29All right, Callum.
14:30I think you should go.
14:31Oh, they'll need to go to Mrs Dryden.
14:32Liza?
14:34Who's this Captain Blackwood who's visiting today?
14:36Mrs Dryden seems concerned he didn't contact your father first.
14:38Well, he's not a gentleman caller.
14:40Me and Betsy were in a Lucky Sailor, and we just went in for a chat.
14:44And then a couple of drunks thought we were a bit full of ourselves because we dared turn
14:48him down, so Captain Blackwood stepped in to make sure they got the message.
14:52Ignoring the fact that you went to the Lucky Sailor without telling us.
14:55What's this young man coming here for?
14:56Because apparently I've dropped something and he's bringing it back.
14:59He's just being a gentleman.
15:02But he's not a gentleman.
15:03No.
15:03No.
15:04I mean, I must say your hair's looking especially nice today.
15:07Don't forget a chaperone.
15:32Hurry!
15:42Ah, Harry.
15:44You cracked the code.
15:45Yes.
15:46Meet me in the garden.
15:47What did you want me out here for?
15:49Your Mr Lewis came to say hello.
15:51Turns out he's all right.
15:53We don't thrive in dark rooms with old textbooks, Harry.
15:56We need fresh air as well.
15:58So, you understood the written Greek.
16:00Shall we practice some spoken?
16:03Rhubarb, from the Latin rhubarbarum, and the Greek rababaron, although the original derivation
16:08might be from the Persian rum.
16:11Rab-a-ra-ba-what?
16:12Rab-a-baron, Grandma.
16:13Well, how do you know how they pronounced it?
16:16Scholarly research, my dear.
16:17Your grandmother does make a very good point.
16:19We have no evidence of how the Greeks spoke.
16:21And I was just saying to Harry how little it matters how we sound as long as we are attempting
16:25the language.
16:26Well, I wouldn't normally argue with him.
16:28He's always been the smartest person in the room.
16:30I don't doubt it.
16:33Well, maybe we should continue our studies in the rest of the garden?
16:36It's been a pleasure to meet you both.
16:38Harry, shall we?
16:46You all right?
16:47What are you doing, Alma?
16:51I just needed time to think.
16:54Last week's takings were bad.
16:56My dad wants me to figure out every last reason why.
17:00He thinks I don't understand business.
17:03I'm sorry, love.
17:06It's only been a week.
17:08I just need this to go smoothly.
17:10He wants you to turn around to him and say,
17:13look how good I've done.
17:14Nothing would make him happier.
17:16So do your best and it'll happen.
17:22It's from the Fritz-Urbets with a £10 donation for the glass.
17:29And an invitation for tea with all them posh cakes that you like.
17:32Well, I suppose I could come along.
17:35Rich, folky.
17:36I was desperate to spend the money on something.
17:38It's called charity, ma.
17:39We've had our fair share.
17:40Well, it's not always welcome though, is it?
17:42What?
17:42Maggie told me what happened yesterday.
17:44Two lads walked out.
17:45Yeah, and eleven of them stay put.
17:47Yeah, but they're not happy though, are they?
17:49Maggie said that Franny's going to give it one more go
17:51and then she's going to be moving on.
17:52Are you kidding?
17:53You need to have a word with that posh teacher of yours
17:55because if you lose someone like Franny,
17:56you might just lose the lot.
18:06Just form the sound.
18:08I don't know how to.
18:10You recognise the word, just try.
18:13There's no point.
18:15Harry, it is entirely normal to be frustrated by a perceived lack of progress.
18:19I'm never going to make any progress.
18:21All this stuff, it sounds right coming out of your mouth.
18:26I just sound like an idiot, I've been told.
18:29By whom?
18:31Can we just get on with the lesson?
18:35You have every right to pursue an education.
18:39You are bright and have the potential to achieve.
18:41Look, I've said I don't want to talk about it.
18:45I don't want to do any of this.
18:48So can we just get on with the lesson so I can go?
18:50I am concerned that your previous experience
18:52has affected your confidence this month.
18:54I've said I don't want to talk about it!
19:05Let's take a break.
19:19Mrs. Harris, it just seems that quite a few of the students weren't happy with the class.
19:24I imagine their previous teachers enjoyed the same reaction.
19:27I will do my job.
19:28They will succeed or they will fail.
19:31Harry could be a little bit more supportive.
19:32Writing letters over and over again isn't what they were expecting.
19:37Mrs. Hardacre, I teach students with no formal education.
19:41It is my job to remedy their failings, slowly and methodically.
19:46Full stop.
19:46Do not have time for tantrums.
19:48Yeah, but they're tired.
19:49They've been working 12 hours on the docks.
19:52Maybe if you just consider working different...
19:55My method has worked for 20 years, Mrs. Hardacre.
19:58And with all due respects, you're not a teacher.
20:00Just because you rose above the environment that they inhabit
20:02does not mean you can tell me how to do my job.
20:04Yeah, well, I feel like I need to, when the dignity's at stake.
20:07I do not have time to concern myself with such things.
20:11Then I'm sorry.
20:13You're no use to me.
20:14I beg your pardon?
20:15I am afraid, Mrs. Harris.
20:18You have just lost your position.
20:41What are you doing here?
20:42I was remiss.
20:43No, Austin collection is complete without sense and sensibility.
20:48Oh, well, thanks, but have you been trying on make-up?
20:52Miss Liza, Captain Blackwood has arrived
20:55and he's waiting for you in the drawing room.
20:56He's quite charming, isn't he?
21:05Since you're here, you can be chaperone.
21:08Not that we need one.
21:18Captain Blackwood.
21:21Miss Harvick, what a great pleasure it is to see you again.
21:27Adela, Fitzherbert.
21:29Good day.
21:31Miss Liza, I must return this.
21:39Oh, that isn't mine.
21:42Oh, my goodness.
21:43May I?
21:47My apologies.
21:49Although at least I've had the opportunity to renew our acquaintance.
21:54I'll leave it to afternoon.
21:55Oh, well, you're here now.
21:57Could we offer you some refreshments?
22:00What a very generous offer.
22:02I accept.
22:07It's a privilege, though, isn't it?
22:09To be able to help people the way that teachers do.
22:11You know, give them a chance to get off the docks
22:14and build something for themselves.
22:17The way you are changing society.
22:20That's very kind.
22:22But, unfortunately, the whole thing has fallen at the first hurdle.
22:25No, you've hired the teacher.
22:27Might be an idea to find someone they actually want to listen to next time.
22:30Oh, it's that easy, is it?
22:31How unfortunate.
22:33Yes, so I should go and find a suitable replacement for tomorrow.
22:38But I really appreciate your support,
22:40and your donation was so generous.
22:43Not at all.
22:45But you must stay, my dear.
22:48You're a keen card player.
22:50Oh, is she ever?
22:52Aye.
22:53You stay.
22:55Cards, is it?
22:57All right, then, I will.
23:02And where are you staying?
23:04On my uncle's estate.
23:05Morley in a rather tumble-down guest cottage.
23:09Doesn't he want you in the house?
23:11It's probably for the best.
23:13He's been unwell and everyone's upsetting him.
23:15Oh, there's nothing worse than feeling below par and company.
23:18Indeed.
23:19Also, it keeps seven cats.
23:21I'm rather more fond of him than them.
23:24To be honest, though,
23:25my regimental living quarters have conditioned me to
23:28prefer simpler accommodation.
23:31I feel like we're so lucky to live here now,
23:33but there was something so nice about the house we used to live in.
23:36I knew where everything was.
23:38Money isn't everything, Miss Hardick.
23:39It is true.
23:41There's a lot to be said for a simple living.
23:50Oh, gosh.
23:51How clumsy of me.
23:52Oh, is it on your dress?
23:53Let me get Maggie in.
23:54No, no, no.
23:55I will attend to it myself.
23:56You two must continue without me.
24:02Please, yes?
24:03Miss Adela.
24:09My apologies, Miss Adela.
24:11Lamp light may be all the rage,
24:13but when these wretched plugs are loose,
24:16they seem to be possessed.
24:23May I help you, Miss?
24:24I spilt lemonade on my dress, Mrs. Dryden.
24:28Come with me.
24:29We will find a cloth and some tepid water.
24:40And don't forget to keep counting.
24:42That's bridge.
24:43When you said cards,
24:44I thought you meant we were going to play poker.
24:46This is foolish.
24:47It's far too complex for our guests to take in.
24:49Hey, I'll get it soon enough.
24:53I'm delighted by your confidence.
24:56George will be joining us soon,
24:57and you and I can play as partners.
25:00We'll put your newfound skills to the test.
25:07Oh, India's extraordinary.
25:08Have you been?
25:09I haven't left Yorkshire,
25:10but I have heard they've got quite big cats over there,
25:13so I bet your uncle approves.
25:14He spent many years there.
25:16You should try SMT.
25:17It's more robust than Salon,
25:18but I think you'll like it.
25:19Oh, I do love tea.
25:20Like it's in your package.
25:21Or better still,
25:22you could come and visit me at Morley.
25:25Oh, well, thank you.
25:27You there will be lovely.
25:28Not at all.
25:30And now, as much as it pains me,
25:32I must leave you.
25:36Actually, rather than come all that way for tea,
25:38and this may be very, very forward,
25:40but I wonder if you'd like to join me on a grouse shoot
25:43on my uncle's estate.
25:46Grouse shoot?
25:47Yes, a small group of friends
25:48will be gathering next week,
25:49all good sports,
25:50and your brothers are most welcome to join me,
25:52with your father's permission, of course.
26:00Please do consider my offer, Miss Hardacre.
26:02Thank you for coming over.
26:08Miss Fitzhavid.
26:09Oh, goodbye, Captain Blackwood.
26:20What offer?
26:22He asked me on a grouse shoot.
26:24Is that so?
26:25Well, how delightful.
26:28I thought you would be happier.
26:31Oh, he is very nice.
26:34Grand-mama said he's from a well-moneyed family.
26:38What are you doing asking your grandmother
26:40about Captain Blackwood?
26:43Who else would know better if he was a good stock?
26:45I was asking for you.
26:47The important thing is
26:49he's not a fortune hunter.
26:51He's a first-rate prospect.
26:56Well, suppose I might give him a chance, then.
27:01If you're really unsure
27:03about this Captain Blackwood,
27:06what about
27:08asking those spirits?
27:19Am I disturbing you?
27:20Oh, Mr. Lewis, no.
27:23No, not at all.
27:23Come in.
27:24I, er, hope you're settling in.
27:26How's Harry doing?
27:28Yes, that's what I wish to discuss.
27:34Harry
27:36is a bright young man.
27:38His Latin
27:39is very passable,
27:42but Greek
27:43is a challenge.
27:44Yeah, but that's something
27:45you can help him with.
27:47I fear he may not be ready
27:49to accept help from anyone.
27:51Please, you're not giving up on him, are you?
27:52I don't want to.
27:54I want what is best for Harry.
27:58But it seems he doubts himself severely,
28:00and it will affect his learning.
28:03I'm sorry, but I thought you should know.
28:05Ah.
28:07Yes.
28:08I'll talk to him.
28:09Please give me time.
28:11I don't think I can handle
28:12losing two teachers in one day.
28:15Oh, I, er,
28:15I set up a literacy class,
28:17and the teacher treated grown men and women
28:18like they were five-year-olds.
28:20And they hated it.
28:21Can't learn like that.
28:23Well, as with Harry,
28:24it may be a matter of finding
28:25the right person to reach them.
28:26Well, that's what I'm working on here.
28:30Oh, Mrs. Hardacre.
28:32Mm?
28:33Perhaps model the teacher
28:34you seek for your class
28:35on whoever taught you.
28:37Yeah.
28:47And
28:48there we are.
28:50Oh,
28:50don't be downhearted,
28:52my dear.
28:53I'm just getting the hang of it.
28:54Oh, dear.
28:55Look out, everyone.
28:56You really are improving.
28:58It reminds me of Hearts.
28:59You know Hearts?
29:00You know that game?
29:01Yeah.
29:01Oh, it's a cracking game
29:02with a little wager on the side, eh?
29:04Oh,
29:05always makes things
29:06a little more interesting.
29:07The way you've taken to it,
29:09the next game will be ours.
29:12All right.
29:18All right.
29:19Thank you for joining us, Maggie.
29:22Don't say thank you,
29:23Miss Adela.
29:24I'm not happy to be here.
29:26I don't want to get haunted.
29:28I've tried to tell her
29:29it's not like that.
29:30Maggie,
29:31try to think of it
29:31like a telegraph.
29:32If we're very lucky,
29:33we'll receive messages
29:35in our world
29:35and the spirits in theirs.
29:38All right,
29:39Miss Adela.
29:41You say so.
29:44But remember,
29:45not a word to anyone.
30:19And I think you'll find
30:20that's the game.
30:21That's right, isn't it?
30:22I say.
30:23Very well done.
30:25Thanks, Georgie boy.
30:26I don't know why
30:27you didn't tell me
30:27about this before.
30:28Yes, my dear.
30:29Congratulations.
30:30Rather careless, darling,
30:31but fair is fair,
30:32the game goes on.
30:34I have to say,
30:35I've never seen
30:36Bridge picked up
30:37so quickly.
30:38Yeah.
30:38Cheers.
30:39Cheers.
30:40Cheers.
30:42Is anybody there?
30:46Spirits,
30:47we call upon you
30:49to show yourselves
30:51and reveal the truths
30:52we seek.
30:56How long does it
30:58usually take?
30:58Shh.
31:00Maggie,
31:01you try.
31:02Other voices can summon them.
31:05Is anybody there?
31:08No!
31:12Ask,
31:12are you with us?
31:14Okay.
31:16Come on, Maggie.
31:23Are you with us?
31:30Spirits,
31:31will you communicate
31:32the truth to us tonight?
31:35Oh!
31:41Did one of you move that?
31:44Spirits,
31:45should we be afraid?
31:50I don't think I like it,
31:52actually,
31:52Adela.
31:54Liza,
31:55ask your question.
31:58Come on,
32:00don't be such a mouse.
32:02All right.
32:03All right.
32:08Spirits,
32:10will I find happiness?
32:13Yes.
32:14Yes.
32:15Yes.
32:16Yes.
32:16Yes.
32:16Yes.
32:18Spirits,
32:20will I get married?
32:29Spirits,
32:31will I have a future
32:32with Captain Blackwood?
32:39Well,
32:40maybe I just
32:41won't clear enough.
32:43Spirits,
32:44can you hear me?
32:49Spirits!
32:50I thought the room
32:51was empty.
32:54What on earth
32:55is going on?
32:56What are you doing
32:57with that thing?
32:59Maggie!
33:00Don't blame her,
33:01Mrs Dryden.
33:02I told her she had
33:02to join in.
33:03And why is this lamp here?
33:05It's a danger.
33:06It's got a loose
33:07connection.
33:09Miss Adela,
33:10we spoke about this
33:11today.
33:12I would suggest
33:13that all of you
33:15go to bed
33:15immediately.
33:17Consider yourselves
33:18lucky I'm not
33:19telling Mrs Hardacre.
33:21Maggie!
33:29You tried to trick me
33:30with that lamp.
33:32And I suppose
33:33it were you
33:33pushing the glass
33:34as well.
33:35I'm sorry
33:36if you're upset,
33:37but it was just
33:37a little bit of fun.
33:38Yeah, for you.
33:40Don't be like that.
33:43I'm tired.
33:45I'm going to bed.
33:47Your mother will
33:48probably want you
33:48back first thing,
33:49so I'll say
33:50goodbye now.
33:52OK?
33:55OK?
34:14What is it, child?
34:17Absolutely nothing
34:18will be happening
34:18between Captain
34:19Blackwood and myself.
34:20As it seems,
34:22Liza liked him
34:23far more than
34:23she said.
34:25I see.
34:26And I fear
34:27I may have behaved
34:28rather pettily
34:29on discovering this.
34:32Did Liza
34:33not deceive you
34:35about her true
34:36intentions?
34:38She let you believe
34:39she didn't like him.
34:42Is that how
34:43a real friend
34:44behaves?
34:47Perhaps not.
34:56A hard-acre
34:57grandmother
34:58is keen to join
34:58our bridge
34:59for again.
35:00A very encouraging.
35:03Insufferable.
35:04This is a
35:05pointless exercise,
35:07Mama.
35:07No, Emma.
35:09Useful.
35:12Entirely useful.
35:18Still trying to
35:19replace that old
35:20hag.
35:21Do you have any
35:22idea how much
35:23these classes mean
35:24to me?
35:25You know,
35:25apart from the odd
35:26lesson at the
35:27workhouse,
35:27I practically taught
35:28myself.
35:29I used things
35:30that interested me.
35:31That's how people
35:32learn, and I need
35:33someone who
35:33understands that.
35:35Mr. Lewis is near.
35:36I look round the
35:37house.
35:38I knocked on his
35:38door, but he
35:39didn't answer.
35:40Well, maybe he's
35:40left.
35:41He didn't exactly
35:41make him feel
35:42welcome.
35:43So he told you
35:44about yesterday.
35:45All I heard was
35:47you weren't happy,
35:48and maybe you're
35:48not ready.
35:49Oh, for God's
35:50sake.
35:51I don't like
35:51teachers much.
35:52I know that
35:53that Mr. Lewis
35:54is a good'un,
35:54so if you've
35:55chucked your chance
35:55away, you're an
35:56idiot.
35:58And as for you,
35:59you know how you
35:59can make them
36:00classes work if you
36:01just open your
36:01bloody eyes.
36:03Clever fools,
36:04the pair of you.
36:05Yeah.
36:10You can see
36:11that long-term
36:12is looking good.
36:14Sorry, son,
36:15we've run out of
36:15time.
36:15You're going to
36:15have to cut back
36:16on various projects.
36:17It's been one week.
36:18I need you to
36:19consider other ideas.
36:21You don't trust me.
36:22Would you swallow
36:23your damn pride and
36:23take good advice
36:24when it's been
36:24offered to you?
36:26The stakes are
36:26too high.
36:32We're in a session,
36:33son.
36:34If we don't make
36:34a profit, how can
36:35we help people?
36:36That was the whole
36:36point of doing this.
36:38I'll see if we can
36:38go back on the
36:39fresh produce, but,
36:40Dad, go home and
36:41get some rest.
36:42You look exhausted.
36:45Don't worry about
36:46me.
37:00I'm so sorry.
37:03I borrowed a bicycle
37:04to collect a textbook
37:05from town and
37:06suffered a wretched
37:06flat tire.
37:08Don't worry about it.
37:13Harry, I'm here
37:14for as long as
37:15you need me.
37:18Right.
37:20Latin.
37:28Oh, okay.
37:31Come on.
37:33And in.
37:35And in.
37:40Hello, everyone.
37:43And thank you.
37:44Thank you for
37:45coming back.
37:47Look, I don't blame
37:48you for being
37:49unhappy.
37:52So I've made a
37:53change.
37:55No more Mrs.
37:56Harris.
37:59I'm going to be a
38:00teacher.
38:00I'm sorry, Mara,
38:02but, I mean, what are
38:03you going to do?
38:03That's any different?
38:04We're going to try
38:05something.
38:09Well, pass these
38:10back.
38:11There's yours.
38:16These lessons have
38:18got to be part of
38:20your lives.
38:21Whether that's reading
38:23a sign or a
38:24newspaper or reading
38:26a story.
38:27Reading your rent
38:28book.
38:29Signing your name.
38:31Or your husbands.
38:36Now, in a few
38:36months' time, I don't
38:37want any of these to
38:38be out of your
38:39reach anymore.
38:41Shall we do some
38:41work?
38:43Yeah?
38:47I, er, I, er, I was
39:03bullied all last year.
39:08Then this new teacher
39:10showed up.
39:11Talk Greek.
39:12Strict.
39:14I thought they
39:15wouldn't get away
39:16with it anymore,
39:17but he just
39:20joined in.
39:22He hated me for
39:23being there.
39:27He picked on me for
39:28all the hard questions
39:29just so we may get
39:30it wrong.
39:32He told me I wasn't
39:34good enough.
39:36I realised he was
39:37right.
39:39So I left.
39:42I'm very sorry,
39:44Barry.
39:53You have nothing
39:55to be ashamed of.
39:59It's disgraceful that
40:00they could treat you
40:01this way.
40:02Sorry for what I
40:03said.
40:05Getting angry.
40:07There's nothing wrong
40:08with showing a little
40:09passion.
40:12Could tell us we'd
40:13approve.
40:16Do you really think I
40:18stand a chance of
40:18getting into Oxford?
40:20With hard work, I
40:22very much do.
40:25So I'll be seeing you
40:26next week.
40:27Yes.
40:27And you.
40:28Of course.
40:29Don't be late.
40:30That would be great.
40:32Why didn't you do
40:33this before?
40:34Your waste of
40:35being rich.
40:36I just hope they
40:36know what it can do
40:37for them if they
40:38stick at it.
40:39We know there was
40:40supposed to be more
40:41kids to look after,
40:42so.
40:42And what about you?
40:43You coming back?
40:44Well, depends.
40:46On?
40:46A slice of cake
40:47might convince me.
40:49I'll see what I can
40:50do, love.
41:05Excellent.
41:06I believe poetry
41:07should always be
41:08delivered standing up.
41:09A very fine way to
41:11end our day.
41:22What the hell's
41:23wrong with you?
41:23Why don't you just
41:24go to bed, Dad?
41:25I'm just feeling a
41:26little under the
41:26weather, Mum.
41:27He's exhausted.
41:28He didn't even touch
41:29his supper.
41:30Evening.
41:32Why are you so
41:32chirpy?
41:34Well, Mr. Lewis said
41:36the next tutor I get
41:37ought to be like the
41:37person who taught me.
41:39So I thought I
41:40practically taught
41:41myself.
41:43So, I took the
41:45class.
41:45Bloody hell.
41:46I've been waiting on
41:47you to actually do
41:48something rather than
41:48paying staff to do it
41:49for you.
41:50Less Lady Bloody
41:51Hardacre and more
41:52Mary.
41:53Yeah, Mum.
41:53I was bloody
41:54terrified.
41:55Oh, Mum.
41:56I'm so happy for
41:57you.
41:57I'm proud of you,
41:58Mum.
41:59Oh, thank you.
42:00Yes.
42:01Well done, love.
42:04Are you all right?
42:06What's wrong with
42:07you?
42:09Sam?
42:11Dad?
42:13I don't, uh...
42:15I don't...
42:16I don't...
42:19Sam!
42:21I don't...
42:24I don't...
