00:05The
00:33lower those up on the cart for me please
00:35ma'am, you know I'm not one to complain
00:37but we only have two days to organise this harvest festival
00:41and we're stretched thin as it is
00:42Mrs Dryden, I promised the vicar I'd help
00:45and Liza needs a distraction after that idiot Blackwood broke her hat
00:50no, no, no, this is wrong
00:52maybe we'll use those apples for Bobby
00:54and then dress it with some decorations and make it look odd
00:57Liza, I wouldn't worry too much how it all looks
00:59let's just focus on the big picture
01:01we've got to get the village hall ready for tomorrow
01:03we've got the stage for the performers
01:04we've got the tables for the tasting competition
01:06did you find any volunteers for poetry reading?
01:10erm
01:12what about a judge for the tasting competition?
01:14not yet, Liza
01:16Liza, I know you're upset
01:18oh mum, I'm fine
01:21right, right
01:23not to worry
01:25we'll, erm, we'll have our own students read
01:29Maggie
01:30Maggie
01:31Maggie, please
01:32please, look, it'll be good for the school
01:34it'll be good for you
01:35imagine if you were to run a house one day
01:37a lot more of getting to run in a house than reading
01:42alright
01:44I'll do it
01:45excellent
01:46and ask the others tonight
01:47oh, and Mr Beasley
01:48would you mind being the judge of the tasting competition?
01:52a conflict of interest, I'm afraid
01:54mum, my elderflower cordial's won four years in a row
01:57and
01:58I'm going for five
02:00well, Mrs Dryden then?
02:03well, aren't you stretched too thin?
02:06well, in the community spirit
02:09I would be happy
02:10to assist with the judging
02:12well, there we go
02:14we'll pull the whole thing off without a hitch
02:19cheers
02:29it's tart
02:30I know
02:31yes
02:32but people do like a stiff drink
02:34it's rhubarb cordial, Georgie
02:36it's not gin
02:38yes, you're right
02:38I thought maybe I could enter it into the Harvest Festival competition
02:43there I go again
02:44another ridiculous idea
02:45that's enough of that
02:48it's almost there
02:49it just needs a bit more
02:51sugar
02:52you think it's him with a chance?
02:54you'll knock their socks off
02:55I agree
02:57nothing ventures, eh?
03:00yes
03:01now
03:01to find some sugar
03:05ah
03:06I was hoping to see you before you left
03:09I fear
03:10I am facing a bit of a social calamity
03:14right
03:15you've heard
03:16of the
03:17Devon sisters
03:19I presume
03:20obscenely wealthy
03:22renowned
03:22card players
03:24not a clue
03:24were they from round here?
03:25oh no
03:26they're passing through
03:27Yorkshire
03:28and demanding
03:29a bridge game
03:30no less
03:31I thought of
03:32asking Emma
03:33but
03:34poor mesh
03:35you'll have to repeat that love
03:37poor mesh
03:40it's a term
03:41one uses
03:42when bridge partners
03:43can't communicate
03:44oh
03:45well I haven't suffered from that myself
03:46I have come so close
03:49to beating those women
03:50multiple times
03:52and with a right partner
03:54I know I could win
03:55now
03:56you and I
03:58there's a pair
03:59well how did they beat you before?
04:02oh they
04:02upped the bids
04:03at the last minute
04:05pricing everyone out
04:06oh crafty buggers
04:07well they couldn't pull that with you
04:09well there's nothing I love more than parting rich folk from the money but
04:12a game like that
04:14this is my reputation
04:16I wouldn't ask if I didn't think
04:18we could win
04:22all right
04:23I'll have to look into this mesh thing but
04:25go on then
04:27consider us a team
04:28oh
04:30bravo
04:45wait what's all this secrecy for?
04:47I'm surprised we are
04:50it's uh
05:01a canning machine?
05:03yeah
05:04we've had problems moving some of the stock and
05:07this is guaranteed to prolong its life
05:11great

05:50Harry
05:53did you read it?
05:55no I promise I didn't
06:00well this can easily be fixed
06:04letters go missing
06:06and the sender
06:08simply writes it again
06:09if they need
06:11should I not try to return it?
06:14perhaps
06:14but can you imagine if you're caught?

13:35of this school
13:36and my duties include
13:39weeding out
13:40immorality and vice
13:42but I now have other concerns
13:44your wife sir

13:48fitting for a teacher
13:53education
13:54and religion
13:55are the cornerstones
13:57of our society

14:42a compromise

34:36God our maker doth provide,
34:40for our wants to be supplied.
34:42Come to God's own temple, come.
34:45Raise the song of harvest home.
34:49All the world is God's own field.
34:51Fruit is praise, to God we yield.
34:55Wheat and tares together sown,
34:57are to joy our sorrow grown.
35:01First the blade, and then the ear,
35:04then the full corn shall appear.
35:2910 tricks, our game.
35:33Still confident?
35:35We've still got the last hand.
35:38Winner takes all.
35:50It's Joe here.
35:52Oh, what's happened now?
35:53No, no, no, no, I have good news.
35:55The company we bought the canning machine from
35:56were in touch.
35:57So they haven't pulled a fast one?
35:58No, some of their workers
36:00came down with Russian flu
36:01while they were moving offices.
36:05Dreadful.
36:06But the machine will arrive next week.
36:13Tell Joe Airwoman an apology,
36:15but he was still Ragnus.
36:17Well?
36:18Splendid day, Mrs. Hardacre.
36:20You've done a wonderful job.
36:22Thank you, sir.
36:23I'm not sure why anyone was so concerned.
36:27Your students can barely get to a poem.
36:31Excuse me?
36:32When I first met you,
36:34I was somewhat concerned.
36:35A woman with little education herself
36:37attempting to teach others.
36:39Now, hold on here a minute.
36:40No, no, Sam.
36:41Let Mr. Balfour tell us what he thinks.
36:43What I mean is,
36:44I can see you're just like
36:45all the other women of your ilk.
36:48Board, money to spare,
36:50the whim of an idea.
36:51Why, I doubt this school
36:52will make it through winter
36:54before you move on to something else.
36:56That said,
36:56I do have a few suggestions
36:58I'd like to offer.
36:59This school is not our thing.
37:01I think he's well aware of that.
37:02No, no, no.
37:02Why should we bow down
37:03to someone like him?
37:05He ain't got a bloody clue
37:06what he's talking about.
37:07How dare you?
37:08No, how dare you, judges.
37:12No, this school is changing things.
37:14Education is powerful.
37:15It's giving our students a voice.
37:17A voice to stand up to the landlords,
37:19to their employers,
37:19well, even to their own bloody husbands.
37:22Mr. Hardwick,
37:23are you going to allow your wife
37:24to speak to me this way?
37:25Allow?
37:26Yeah, because that's what it's all about,
37:28isn't it, Mr. Balfour?
37:30Allowing.
37:32You are treading
37:33on dangerous territory.
37:35Well, I must be doing something right then.
37:37My wife has a point, Mr. Balfour.
37:40You saw the students for yourself.
37:42This is about changing things.
37:43Surely that's what matters.
37:44I can and will
37:46close down this school.
37:48Well, you do as you must.
37:50But if people want an education,
37:51they're going to go looking for it.
37:52If anyone is to educate
37:54the people around here,
37:55it will be done the right way.
37:57I will contact the board of education
37:58and request an immediate intervention.
38:02This school is finished.
38:05Good day to you.
38:13Let's make this more interesting.
38:16Raise the bets.
38:23You want to play the collateral?
38:25Is that more than you can spare?
38:28Oh, this is so typical.
38:31You have a bad hand
38:33and you're hoping that
38:35by pricing us out,
38:36we'll pass
38:37and we'll start a new contract.
38:40We could just call it quits.
38:42We each won one game.
38:48Oh, hang on.
38:50We've already started the third game.
38:52The cards are dealt.
38:54If you're certain that you'll win,
38:56then there shouldn't be an issue
38:57raising the bet.
38:58The only other option is forfeit.
39:18Let's play.
39:23I return in a place of glory!
39:26Cobras!
39:27Give me the cobras!
39:28Quickly!
39:29Oh, yes!
39:32To the victor, the spoils!
39:35How far you won?
39:36Oh, well done, George.
39:39We must all have a taste.
39:41Oh, yes.
39:41How did the reading go?
39:43Oh, the students did splendidly.
39:45Oh, and Maggie.
39:46Wonderfully.
39:47Oh, thank goodness.
39:49But, uh,
39:51I overheard word
39:52that the school was to be shut down.
39:56I'm sorry, darling.
39:57I don't know how much you enjoy teaching there.
40:01Papa, bring the cordial over.
40:09I'm sorry, ma'am.
40:11Is there anything I can do?
40:13No.
40:14You're right.
40:15There are some battles we can't win.
40:18I was so proud of this.
40:20Everything's worth it.
40:21I don't know.
40:22It's cool.
40:23I'm not going to tell them.
40:24Yes.
40:25You're going to tell them
40:26that you tried everything that you could?
40:27I don't know.
40:30Sometimes things don't work out
40:31the way we want them to.
40:32You know that.
40:33Yeah.
40:41That's six tricks to us.
40:46We have six, too.
40:49Next trick wins.
40:53My lead.
41:13Our trick.
41:14And our game.
41:16What?
41:17No.
41:18I thought we had it.
41:19I thought you had the jack of diamonds.
41:23Oh, dear.
41:25You've lost Hardacre Hall.
41:30I've come to collect a debt.
41:32Tell us you haven't bet the house of cards.
41:34Hoof of collateral was required.
41:35I don't have my say.
41:36Perhaps you should.
41:38Everyone's free to stand for this election.
41:40Even a woman.
41:40I'm just exploring new ideas
41:42on how to grow the business.
41:43And you like mine?
41:44Yes.
41:44Absolutely.
41:45What the hell?
41:45Why are you taking away everything
41:46I want so hard for?
41:47I don't want to be a part of
41:48your new fangled vision of the future.
41:50This scandalous letter
41:51has come into my possession.
41:53It was written by your younger son.
41:55How did you get hold of it?
41:57We have to do something.
41:58We're helpless to stop her.
42:23We're helpless to stop her.
42:24We're selfish to stop her.
42:26We're helpless to stop her.
