00:00104, fever's still on the rise.
00:02I'm fairly sure it's Russian flu.
00:03It's highly contagious.
00:05I am sending you into the bosom of the enemy.
00:08There's a spy.
00:09Find me a scandal.
00:11Liza, I should like to spend the rest of my life with you.
00:14I saw Liza and Edward Blackwood in the woods.
00:16She can't be engaged, you would have told me.
00:19Concentrate in one word at a time.
00:21Good girl.
00:22We only have the wooden machine in England at the present time.
00:24We should talk about you.
00:25He's not ready, Mary.
00:26I'll take it.
00:27I'll put 50% down right now.
00:29Cash.
01:03This is beautiful.
01:05Mmm.
01:10You know, there was a moment there where I thought my time was up.
01:16And in this moment, all I felt was a terrible sadness.
01:25Pain, confusion.
01:30Like I was going to leave you and the children behind.
01:36I'm not ready for that.
01:37I'm not ready for that.
01:40Oh, thank you.
01:43Yeah.
01:44Yeah.
01:47Yeah.
01:48Is there a way to thank Mrs. Dryden on the staff?
01:53Mmm, yeah.
01:55Yeah.
01:55Yeah, I have an idea.
02:00Right.
02:00Right. We can have a bowl. A servants' bowl.
02:05Ah. What the hell's that, Mr. Lewis?
02:09Servants' bowls are inspired by the Twelfth Night tradition of reversing rolls.
02:14So, for one evening, we're going to swap rolls with the staff.
02:17Yeah, so Mr. Beasley, Mrs. Dryden and the rest of the staff, they're going to dress up and have a
02:21dance.
02:22And we'll do the rest.
02:23Serve them food, you mean?
02:25Not just serve it high. We're going to make it ourselves.
02:27Oh, we're going to do everything. We're going to arrange the music, prepare the ballroom.
02:30Collect coats. We're even going to tidy up after.
02:33Mm-hmm. Yeah, and everyone will get a roll.
02:36And the staff will get a well-deserved night off.
02:39Sounds wonderful.
02:40Yeah, it really does. All right. Well, that's settled then.
02:44Mr. Beasley and I will let Mrs. Dryden know.
02:48Mum.
02:50See you later.
02:57I've got a visitor coming this morning. I want you to meet him.
03:03Captain Blackwood?
03:05Yeah.
03:13Why do I have the feeling I'm missing something?
03:17No?
03:18You'll see.
03:20Oh.
03:30So you fought in Burma and Sudan?
03:32I did, Mr. Hardoka, although I'm not sure any battle experience quite prepares one for the pressure I'm feeling here
03:37this morning.
03:38You're doing fine, Captain Blackwood.
03:41So far.
03:43I gather you're in the process of leaving the army.
03:46Yes. I've resigned my commission.
03:47Have you now?
03:50Well, so do you see your future back down south, Captain?
03:53I did, Mr. Hardoka, although the non-physical greying appear.
04:02You must excuse me.
04:04I have a reunion in Grimsby with my old regiment this evening.
04:08Oh, well, in that case, um, Liza, will you show Captain Blackwood out and, uh, we'll, um...
04:19Behave yourselves.
04:29Your parents are wonderful.
04:31This is your rather formidable grandmother.
04:33Oh, that was nothing.
04:34You should see her when she's had a few.
04:37I'd like to tell them about her promise to be wed.
04:42Unless you're having second thoughts.
04:45Why would I have second thoughts about marrying Edward Blackwood?
04:50There is something bothering me, though.
04:54Go on.
04:56Well, isn't it obvious?
04:58You're blue blood and speak proper and I'm...
05:02from Heron and speak Yorkshire.
05:05My darling.
05:07What I'm interested in is how you make me feel.
05:10Which is more alive than I can ever remember.
05:13And I love your accent.
05:17You know, I can't believe I'm saying this,
05:19but our daughter is smitten with the future Baron of Felixstowe.
05:22He's clearly brave.
05:24He's a lot more open-minded than many of the sort.
05:26I like him.
05:26Yeah, so do I.
05:28George Baxter.
05:30Who?
05:30Oh, squaddy.
05:31She fell for 40 years ago.
05:32Never ever trust a soldier.
05:34Ma.
05:34George Baxter was a drunken womanizing layabout.
05:37You can't seriously be comparing him to Captain Blackwood.
05:39Soldiers are all the same.
05:41Buggering off abroad.
05:42Girl in every port.
05:45You want that for our lizer?
05:46Captain Blackwood's leaving the army, Ma.
05:48So he says.
05:58Morning, Harry.
06:02What's going on?
06:03Well, given the excellent progress you've made with your Latin and Greek
06:06and the cheery mood pervading Hardacre Hall this week,
06:09I thought we'd do something a little different.
06:11Travel broadens the mind, they say.
06:14So today, I'm going to talk about my grand tour.
06:18Really?
06:19Take a seat.
06:24You went to the Colosseum.
06:26And it was as magnificent as I'd hoped.
06:29I also went to the Parthenon.
06:35And then Delphi and Olympia.
06:37That was after Rome and Pompeii, of course.
06:40And my favorite of all, the Amalfi Coast.
06:46It has a beautiful, rugged shoreline with turquoise water
06:49and pastel-colored fishing villages.
06:51Who is that?
06:54Julian Dunsley.
06:56A chum from school.
06:58You look very happy.
07:00It was a marvelous time.
07:05How long did you travel together?
07:07Six months.
07:09My mother fell ill, so I came home early.
07:12Fortunately, Julian was an excellent letter writer.
07:15He made me feel as if I was still traveling with him.
07:20Sounds like Julian was a wonderful companion.
07:25Yes, he was.
07:32These figures are surprisingly good.
07:34Turnover's up 6% this past fortnight.
07:37And the profits were by 4%.
07:39Over the same period, your other investments also rallied somewhat.
07:43It seems Hartacre and Son was in safe hands in my absence.
07:46I shouldn't have been worried.
07:49I don't, Joe.
07:52You didn't tell your father about the canning machine investment.
07:55Want it to be a surprise?
07:56Fair enough.
07:57Callum, I have a job for you.
07:59Come with me.
08:11Liza is head over heels with that Captain Blackwood.
08:15Sorry, Callum.
08:16Oh, no.
08:17It's wonderful.
08:19How can I help?
08:20I want to know whether Blackwood really has left the army.
08:24You want me to confirm he's resigned his commission?
08:27Exactly.
08:28The man seems too good to be true.
08:30Now, I need to know whether his intentions are honorable.
08:32I'll be honest, ma'am.
08:33I'm not entirely comfortable going behind Liza's back.
08:37Look, if he is lying, doesn't Liza deserve to know?
08:40I don't want to see her getting hurt.
08:42Neither do I.
08:43Right, well.
08:44Soldiers from Blackwood's regiment are in Grimsby.
08:47Try speaking to some of them.
08:49And not a word to our Liza.
08:51Of course.
08:52Well, go on, then.
08:59Don't worry.
09:00My family will do everything.
09:01Then all you need to do is dress up and enjoy yourself.
09:04Sir William always refused to host servants' balls.
09:08Oh.
09:09And may I ask why?
09:11Sir William feared impropriety amongst the servants.
09:15And he was right to fear it.
09:17I've heard some shocking tales from other houses.
09:20But it is Mrs. Hardacre's right to do things differently, if she pleases?
09:27Mrs. Dryden?
09:31Mrs. Hardacre's right to do things differently.
09:31Yes, ma'am.
09:32Oh.
09:40This is a terrible idea.
09:42Might such a gesture not deepen pride amongst our staff?
09:46By letting them taste privilege.
09:47Then snatching it away.
09:49I'll wager it will have entirely the opposite effect.
09:52The kind hand gathers more than the clenched fist.
09:58Mrs. Dryden?
10:03I have the greatest admiration for you and your organization, Mr. Balfour.
10:10Which is why I wrote to you about Mrs. Hardacre's school.
10:14Yes.
10:15Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
10:17So, will you investigate?
10:20Lady Hanson, co-education of the sexes is, of course, undesirable.
10:25No, but does the threat of a single classroom really justify the expenditure of our time and energy?
10:32I can assure you it does, Mr. Balfour.
10:36Mrs. Hardacre is entirely unqualified.
10:40And her classroom is a hotbed of immorality.
10:46As you will discover when you see for yourself.
10:50Hmm.
10:51Very well.
10:53I shall pay a visit, but I shall need evidence of more than mixed instruction if I'm to take this
10:59any further.
11:01I shall get you that evidence, Mr. Balfour.
11:19Well, I've finished Pride and Prejudice.
11:22I like Mr. Bingley the best.
11:24Really?
11:24I like Mr. Bingley the best.
11:26I'll give you persuasion next.
11:29So you must be so relieved about your father.
11:31Yeah, I am.
11:32But look, Adela, I'm really sorry about just disappearing.
11:39Don't be silly, Liza.
11:43Thank you, Adela.
11:47So, apart from your father's return from the dead, what have I missed?
11:52Quite a lot, actually.
11:54The one?
11:56Me and Edward Blackwood met up in secret.
12:00You little mix.
12:05What do you like best about him?
12:08I like that when he tells me and loves me for who I am, I believe him.
12:14And it sounds like you've hit the jackpot.
12:17We're having a servant's ball this Friday.
12:19Really?
12:20Yeah, I want you to come.
12:21We can say yes, Mum, to Mrs. Dryden, and we can get Mr. Beasley tipsy.
12:26I like that.
12:27Good.
12:31I'm starting to think those two might need a chaperone.
12:34So I would win that trip?
12:36Yes, you would, absolutely.
12:38What are you doing here, Ma?
12:39Your grandma asked me to help her with her bridge, Miss Hardacre.
12:42And she's a most enthusiastic pupil.
12:45Next time I'll play with Imelda, wanting to know what I'm bloody well doing.
12:49What's this?
12:51That is our rhubarb jam.
12:54Try it.
12:55You should have seen Dryden's face when she found us making it in the kitchen.
13:04That's really good.
13:05You sound surprised.
13:06I'm going to ask Joe to put it in our shops.
13:08Hmm.
13:11Well, give it a name first.
13:13Well, like what?
13:15Mars rhubarb jam.
13:17Well, what about George?
13:18Oh, I think people would prefer to imagine you making their jam to this doddering old fool.
13:25Mars rhubarb jam.
13:27Yeah.
13:28I like it.
13:31I have persuaded Bartholomew to take a look at Mrs. Hardacre's school.
13:37Well, his organization can ask for it to be closed.
13:42But first, he needs more evidence of depravity.
13:47I see.
13:48So, while I'm sure you want to finish now that Mary Hardacre is back,
13:53I'm afraid you're going to have to continue with that ridiculous class.
14:00All right.
14:02Yes, Mother.
14:06I have some very exciting news.
14:09The Hardacres are having a servant's ball.
14:12They're what?
14:13How ghastly.
14:14Liza's asked me to help them serve their staff.
14:17I said yes.
14:18I thought you and the Hardacre girl had had a concerto.
14:23That's all fine now.
14:24What's more, she's owned up to her courtship with Captain Blackwood.
14:29Courtship?
14:30Actually, Mother, it sounds quite serious.
14:36Edward Blackwood.
14:38They are dragging down, Adela, and demeaning you.
14:42That family has to be stopped.
14:48Find me some scandal in your class.
14:54Please, Emma.
15:03Joe.
15:04You all right, Dad?
15:05Were you going to tell me about these complaints?
15:08It's okay.
15:09You took care of them.
15:10Yeah.
15:11Did you tell our shops to sell all supplies of fish?
15:13No, I told them to expand the life of the stock.
15:16How?
15:18By scraping off the mould and topping up the salt water.
15:20Well, that explains the increase in profits.
15:21Hold on.
15:22You told me to reduce the waste.
15:24That's what you wanted.
15:25Reducing waste doesn't mean cutting corners, Joe.
15:27I'm not cutting corners.
15:29Those methods are fine and you know that.
15:32Well, this man's father was ill.
15:36And I wrote to him apologising.
15:39Yes, the fish he bought were off.
15:41That was warm weather.
15:42And our staff, they shouldn't have sold that.
15:44This isn't milk.
15:45It isn't bread.
15:45It's herring.
15:46It's what we built our reputation on.
15:48I know.
15:48We're giving them quality and cheap prices.
15:50It's a struggle, Dad.
15:51Yeah, I know it is.
15:53I know it is.
15:55Well, let it lie, all right?
15:58Right.
16:00Miss Evelyn clutched the letter with trembling hands.
16:08The words hinted at a terror, creeping closer than any same mind dared admit.
16:14Bravo, Maggie.
16:16I'm sorry.
16:17I just...
16:17No, I agree, Lady Emma.
16:19That was excellent, Maggie.
16:21A definite improvement.
16:22It really was.
16:23I read the beef kidney recipe from Mrs Beaton's cookbook out to Mrs Henderson yesterday.
16:28You should have seen her face.
16:29I'm Mrs Dryden's.
16:31Ah, that's wonderful.
16:32Right.
16:33Has anyone else been using the reading?
16:35I read my tally book of the butchers.
16:38Turns out they were charging me for lamb instead of mutton and all sorts.
16:41What did you do?
16:42I gave her a piece of my mind.
16:44I went to the butchers down the road.
16:46Saving myself four pence a week now.
16:48Well, there you go.
16:48Well done, Pranny.
16:51Pranny!
16:53Come here, now!
16:54Er, no, excuse me.
16:55You can't just barge in here.
16:58You're supposed to be making my tea.
17:02Will you leave her alone, please?
17:03Are you telling me what to do with me own wife?
17:05Yes.
17:09Oh!
17:12Someone go after him!
17:15So, afterwards, some of the girls said they had to lie to the husbands to come to the classes.
17:19Why shouldn't women get the same opportunities to learn?
17:21It's not right.
17:22Maybe someone should make a stand.
17:24Yeah, maybe they should.
17:25Be careful, though.
17:25You'll be annoying a load of husbands.
17:26Well, I'm from it.
17:27Steady on, son.
17:28I'm sorry.
17:29Feeling good for the Oxford interview?
17:31Aye.
17:31Mr. Lewis thinks I have a good chance of getting in.
17:33And I'm sure you have, love.
17:34After Oxford, I want to do a grand tour, just like Mr. Lewis.
17:38See the sights of Southern Europe.
17:39Come back a gentleman.
17:41Mr. Lewis, is that quite the impact?
17:43See you at dinner.
17:45Mm-hmm.
17:48Oh, Mr. Lewis is a miracle worker.
17:51Oh, Liza has asked if Captain Blackwood can join us for dinner this evening.
17:56And?
17:56I said yes, of course.
17:59Mum.
18:01Sir, I spoke to son of Captain Blackwood's former regiment, as you requested.
18:05And?
18:06They had only good things to say about him.
18:09Loyal.
18:10Dependable.
18:11Brave as a lion.
18:12Hmm.
18:13And what about this resignation?
18:16Confirmed in last week's London Gazette.
18:20An honourable discharge.
18:24Thank you, Callum.
18:26That is very good news.
18:30I wish I had a more valiant story, but the truth is, I stumbled and fell.
18:37And the next thing, these robed fighters closed in on me.
18:42Blades flashing.
18:43Sudanese insurgents.
18:47But my men formed a wall of bayonets and shielded me.
18:50And it was in that moment I knew for sure that strength lies not in rank,
18:55but in those you have beside you.
19:01Amen to that.
19:02So many adventures.
19:04So how come you quit the armour?
19:07I'm ready for a different sort of excitement, Mr Hardaker.
19:10I hear you rescued Betsy and my sister from Joshua Calder at the Lucky Sailor.
19:14Liza's convinced you could have taken him out herself.
19:17I could have.
19:19So, when might we get the opportunity to meet your parents, Captain Blackwood?
19:23They don't venture north very often, sadly.
19:26I imagine your uncle tries to tempt them up here.
19:28With little success, I'm afraid.
19:30You have an uncle in the area?
19:31Yes.
19:31That's who he's staying with at Morley House.
19:33Your business sounds most progressive, Mr Hardaker.
19:36After dinner, I'd love to hear more about it.
19:38I'd be delighted.
19:49So you'd like to know more about Hardaker and some?
19:52Yes, Mr Hardaker, of course.
19:54But, well, that isn't actually the reason I wanted to speak with you this evening.
19:58I didn't think it was.
20:01You have a wonderful daughter.
20:03She makes me very happy.
20:06It seems the feeling is mutual.
20:11I assume you have a question for me.
20:13Yes, of course.
20:17I would like your permission to propose to Liza.
20:24And if my daughter accepts, do you give me your solemn word that you'll do everything in your power to
20:30keep her happy?
20:33With all my heart.
20:37Well, in that case, Captain Blackwood, my answer is yes.
21:02You're quiet.
21:04Oh, just a bit tired.
21:08Anything to report from the classroom?
21:15Well, a husband came to take his wife away.
21:20He wasn't happy about her attending.
21:23It was all rather vulgar.
21:26It's helpful, but not quite enough.
21:30Keep looking.
21:32Yes, Mother.
21:36Come on.
21:38It clearly makes her very happy.
21:42Yes, it does.
21:43It's just happening so fast.
21:46It feels like yesterday that girl was asleep in the basket next to me.
21:50On the dark.
21:52Fast.
21:53Mm.
21:55Mary.
21:57I knew ten seconds after a clap of knees, I knew that you were the one.
22:03If anything, I'd say Blackwood's been dragging his heels.
22:28I signalled hearts.
22:31Yes, I know.
22:32So why are you playing the eight of clubs?
22:36I'm not sure.
22:38Oh, for crying out loud.
22:40How am I supposed to get any better with you making mistakes like that?
22:43You're welcome to find a better player to practice with.
22:46I would if I could, believe me.
22:47Right.
22:48Well, I'm off to collect the labels for our jam.
22:53Mrs. Dryden.
22:54Lord Fitzhermott.
22:58Oh, great.
23:01Begging your pardon, ma'am.
23:02Yes.
23:04I may be able to help you.
23:12Opus nostrum perfectum est.
23:14Our work is done.
23:18He's all pretty in the ballroom.
23:26Will you manage with that?
23:28I'll be all right.
23:32I'm very grateful to be experiencing a ball at Hardacre Hall before I move on to past his new.
23:39You'll leave it?
23:41Well, yes.
23:42Once you've done your Oxford entrance, my work here will be done.
23:47Of course.
23:49I should have realised that.
23:59Declare boldly.
24:01Defend wisely.
24:03And bid only what you mean.
24:06Reckless bidding is the ruin of the drawing room.
24:11Where did you learn all this, then?
24:14I taught myself.
24:16Through many a long afternoon watching Lady Cavendish and her acquaintances play bridge.
24:22Or Russian whist, as it's also known.
24:26I was drawn to the discipline of the game.
24:28Yeah, that's what I find the hardest.
24:31It's disorder that troubles me, ma'am.
24:35And did these fine ladies ever let you play?
24:38Only if they were short.
24:40I bet you wiped the floor with them.
24:47You're a dark horse, Mrs. D.
24:57That's what I like to see.
24:59Hard acres getting their hands dirty.
25:03Captain Blackwood.
25:04Good morning, ma'am.
25:05Oh, Ward Fitzherbert brought these over for you, ma'am.
25:10Is that supposed to be me?
25:11Of course it's you.
25:12It looks wrong.
25:13That's because you're smiling.
25:15Very funny.
25:16Don't put them in the shop.
25:17I won't go on to, but I might put a few on the shelf.
25:20Show the world that lovely mug of yours.
25:21Don't, don't you dare.
25:30She awoke, tied to a four-poster bed, with the centre gunpowder in the air.
25:36A note pinned to a chemise which read,
25:39Gone to rob the mail.
25:40Don't weigh up.
25:42Yours in crime.
25:43Jack.
25:45That's very good.
25:48Sorry, I'm late.
25:49Franny, I'm glad you're here.
25:51I hope you're all right.
25:54You're all right.
25:57No, no, no, no.
26:00I'm going to ask you to leave my classroom right now.
26:02Out of my way.
26:03You don't realise your wife's here, trying to make you both richer?
26:05Are you saying I can't support her?
26:07You should do as Mrs. Hardacre says, Mr. Davies.
26:27You're all right?
26:29Going home later is going to be fun.
26:32I don't care, though.
26:39Thank you, Emma.
26:41I, I'm not sure what came over me.
26:43You saw what I saw.
26:44Well, in fairness, something worth fighting for.
26:49In fact, we shall.
27:06My dearest Arthur,
27:08before you leave me,
27:10I wanted to write to you
27:12about a matter of great importance.
27:15I must speak candidly.
27:18I have
27:19developed feelings towards you
27:21of a romantic nature.
27:27I can't help the way I feel.
27:30I apologise for sharing such feelings,
27:33but
27:33my heart can no longer feign silence.
27:37I hope
27:38and pray
27:39that you might feel the same way towards me.
27:48I look forward to hearing from you.
27:51Your devoted pupil,
27:54Harry Hardacre.
28:04And the Hardacres
28:06prepared the food
28:08themselves.
28:10Yes, they prepared everything.
28:12Extraordinary.
28:14And you still
28:16want to attend?
28:19Of course.
28:21Liza invited me
28:22and she's a good friend.
28:25In my experience,
28:28gals are good friends
28:29until a man like
28:30Edward Blackwood
28:31comes along
28:32and then they're dropped
28:34like a stone.
28:37Liza's not like that.
28:40Are you sure?
28:43Yes, I am.
28:47I must go.
29:04Those Hardacres are so uncouth.
29:07Why can't Adela see it?
29:11Oh.
29:13What are you reading?
29:18Where did you get this filth?
29:21Mrs. Hardacre
29:21was using it
29:23in our class today.
29:24She is
29:24teaching those creatures
29:26to read this.
29:29She uses quite a lot of these,
29:31actually.
29:32Seem to quite enjoy them.
29:34Heaven knows why.
29:36This is it, Emma.
29:38This is our chance.
29:43Who's it from?
29:46My Hardacre
29:47is ready
29:49for another
29:51game of bridge.
29:53Says name the day.
29:58Two opportunities.
30:02Now we prepare
30:03our attack.
30:34There you are.
30:35Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Dryden.
30:36So am I.
30:37I have made
30:39very clear
30:40the standards
30:41Mr. Beasley
30:42and I
30:43expect you all
30:45to maintain
30:45this evening.
30:47No
30:47excessive
30:48drinking
30:49and
30:50no
30:50improper
30:51fraternization.
30:55Is that understood?
30:57Yes, Mr. Dryden.
30:58Otherwise
30:59I will have you
31:00polishing brass
31:01until the century
31:02turns.
31:04Yes.
31:06Yes.
31:07Yes.
31:12Oh, this is fun, isn't it?
31:14Shh!
31:26I made them all
31:27by myself.
31:33Extremely tasty, Miss Hardacre.
31:36Do with a bit more seasoning.
31:39Mum?
31:43What's wrong?
31:44Too low.
31:46Eh?
31:46A platter.
31:47It's too low.
31:49Oh, I'm sorry, Mum.
31:53I'll take one then.
31:55I'll watch.
32:12Right.
32:13I'll walk along.
32:14Right.
32:14Go.
32:16That jammy horse
32:17put out half a dozen jars
32:18this afternoon.
32:19Sold the old bloody lot.
32:20You're joking.
32:22Oh, it'll be your beautiful face
32:23on the label, Mum.
32:24Oh, very funny.
32:30I need to be alone
32:31with you.
32:32It's a jam.
32:33It's a jam.
32:40We can't be on our own
32:41for long.
32:42I'm having a drink
32:42in a can of boo.
32:58It's a jammy.
33:02Will you marry me?
33:05Yes, Edward Blackwood.
33:08I will.
33:16What do you know?
33:33They are hating this.
33:35Maybe Mrs. Dryden was right.
33:37Don't worry.
33:38No more, Mom.
33:40Meanwhile, Mrs. Harding, you and I have a lot to celebrate.
33:43Oh, we do.
33:50Oh, hello.
33:51We're being summoned.
33:55I think I know why.
33:59Oh, I am so happy for you both.
34:01Congratulations.
34:03The ring is beautiful, Captain Blackwood.
34:06Honestly, I'm just relieved she said yes, Mrs. Harding.
34:08I can't believe you both knew who we were going to ask and kept quiet.
34:11Neither can I.
34:12Perhaps we should make an announcement.
34:14Tomorrow, Captain Blackwood.
34:15Tonight's all about staff.
34:17Yeah, we can't let this wonderful news overshadow their evening.
34:20Of course.
34:20But we do need some help getting the dancing going.
34:28Oh, no.
34:42Thank you, Mr. Coyne.
35:10Ladies and gentlemen,
35:12forgive my interruption,
35:15but I have some very happy news to share.
35:19Miss Liza Hardacre
35:22is engaged to be married
35:23to Captain Blackwood.
35:31Is this true?
35:34So you've got your work cut out there, pal?
35:37Hi.
35:38Oh, it's amazing.
35:41Oh.
35:43Our Liza,
35:44future Baroness of Felix Stowe.
35:47Don't sound real.
35:49Liza,
35:50such wonderful news.
35:51Oh, I couldn't tell you yesterday
35:53because we're keeping it a secret.
35:55I'm sorry.
35:55Bet you never thought you'd be on the show
35:57for longer than Liza, eh, Adela?
36:02Don't mind me.
36:04What on earth?
36:05Possession.
36:07Well, well, Beasley.
36:08You're certainly embracing
36:09the rebellious spirit of the evening.
36:11I hope you didn't mind, sir.
36:14What?
36:15Allowing our joy into your evening.
36:16We should be thanking you, Mr. Beasley.
36:18But I will be asking for a dance mind.
36:27Mrs. Dryden.
36:29Oh, no, I couldn't.
36:30I'll stand here.
36:31Come on.
36:32Please, Mr. Harding.
36:33What have you done since I was a girl?
36:37I see you're a natural, Mrs. Dryden.
37:07I see you're a natural, Mrs. Dryden.
37:35I see you're a natural, Mrs. Dryden.
37:39Oh, I fear not.
37:40Eh, I'll be the judge of that.
37:42Come on.
37:45Give us your hands.
37:47All right, do you know that?
37:48You've got something like that.
37:49Can I see?
38:04I see you're a natural, Mrs. Dryden.
38:05I see you.
38:13I don't know.
38:41I don't know.
39:03I don't know.
39:04You have to wait your turn Callum.
39:06I have information.
39:22Are you absolutely sure?
39:25I'm not sure.
39:25Quite sure.
39:26You told me he was honorable.
39:29I believed that at the time.
39:37What's going on?
39:38Centralizer.
39:59What's going on?
40:02Callum?
40:03Liza.
40:04Take a seat.
40:05No, I don't want to sit down.
40:07What's going on?
40:09Tell her, Callum.
40:15Captain Blackwood's regiment colleagues told me he was staying with an old army friend rather
40:19than his uncle.
40:20So, earlier today I paid a visit to Morley House to check and I learned that not only does
40:28Captain Blackwood not have an uncle in the area, but that his entire family have in fact disowned
40:35him.
40:38What?
40:39What?
40:41Why?
40:42The family have hushed it up, but over the past three months, Captain Blackwood has squandered
40:47the family fortune at his London gentlemen's club.
40:52He's broke, Liza.
40:54He's stony broke.
40:56Just a fortune hunter like all the others.
41:01I'm sorry.
41:04I don't believe you.
41:07You're wrong.
41:08You've got-
41:08I wish I was, Miss Liza.
41:10My darling, come.
41:11They want us to dance another polka.
41:15What is it?
41:24Are your parents disown you?
41:30What?
41:31Are you after my family's money?
41:33Of course not.
41:35I want the truth, Edward.
41:42I didn't tell you lies because I didn't want to worry you.
41:47Look at me.
41:50Now tell me you love me.
41:55I love you.
42:01No, you don't.
42:02I don't.
42:03Please, I really do love you.
42:04I've loved you from the moment we first met and that is the only thing that really matters.
42:07Captain Blackwood, half an hour ago I spoke with Joshua Calder, the man you paid two shillings to harangue Miss
42:16Hardacre in the pub so you could step in and rescue her.
42:20What?
42:21Mr. Calder is ready to swear in court that this is what occurred.
42:26The whole thing's been a lie.
42:29From the start.
42:30Darling, not a lie.
42:32I wanted to be with you.
42:34Only you.
42:35Look, I know this isn't exactly what you thought but one day my parents will forgive me.
42:41We can still be happy together and one day you will be the Baroness of Felixstowe.
42:45You could make me your queen and I wouldn't want to spend one more minute with you.
42:49What?
42:49You're nothing but a liar.
43:04And you, Liza, you and your family, will only ever be common ignorant fish workers.
43:19You need to leave now, Blackwood.
43:22Get your filthy hands off me!
43:25Get out of this house, you bastard!
43:27Is that all you've got, Hardacre?
43:33It's not to let you know, Liza.
43:35And you won't get a better offer.
43:37Not with that pig of an accent.
43:50If you're not off Hardacre property, the time I count to ten, one, two, three, four!
44:00No!
44:04No one messes with a Hardacre!
44:06No one!
44:15We only have two days to organise this Harvest Festival.
44:19And this class is doing some real good, Mr Balfour.
44:21Let me be the judge of that.
44:23I'd like to invite some of our students up to recite some Harvest Poetry.
44:28Sorry, I can't do it.
44:30The Devon Sisters, a seemingly wealthy, renowned card players.
44:34You and I, there's a pair.
44:37Consider as a team.
44:38I'd like the letter back.
44:39What letter?
44:40It's a new reading list.
44:42Every one of the servants took my mistake.
44:44Our little secret.
44:45The Devon Sisters, a secret.
