00:01Here he comes, finest Irishman in Yorkshire.
00:04Oh wait!
00:05Come on, let's go!
00:06You may keep your hand, Mr. Harding.
00:07Whether you're able to use it again is another matter.
00:09Aren't we supposed to keep a roof over our heads?
00:11What if we went into something for ourselves?
00:14You meet more in one day than I will in the wake of the darks.
00:16Have you considered expansion an investment?
00:19Which one of these asylums are you moving us into?
00:22They're significant.
00:23And I thought you people were dark workers.
00:24And you think it's easy being a lady?
00:26No, it isn't.
00:28Top of English and arithmetic.
00:29I'm pretty, son.
00:30These are decisions that you made to serve yourself.
00:33You are a nasty piece of work, Lady Emma.
00:36I'm proud of where I came from.
00:37I want to be good enough for you to love.
00:39Herring on three.
00:50We mustn't be doing it right.
00:52I followed the instructions for the letter.
00:55That must be something.
00:58No, it's not catching.
01:04Here, let me try.
01:10How do you get this one on?
01:12You go and check the wires again.
01:13Yeah.
01:14And Joe?
01:15Make sure everybody's ready.
01:16Right.
01:17I'll see you next time.
01:18Yep.
01:20It'll work.
01:22Come on.
01:26I'll try now, sir.
01:29I'm not wrong now.
01:31When you get off the table, it's two separate ones.
01:36Ask me that one.
01:37It's just here.
01:38Yes, sir.
01:39Oh, nice, little mother.
01:41What?
01:42We're running behind, Mrs. Dryden.
01:44I know, dinner should have been served ten minutes ago.
01:47What am I supposed to do? There's no light.
01:50They also serve you on their stand and wait.
01:55There you are, come on.
01:57Is it on?
01:58Don't be ridiculous.
02:01This has got disaster written all over it.
02:04I think it's exciting.
02:06It'll mean more work for you, not less.
02:09Mark my words.
02:10Joe! Joe!
02:12That's it, one of them.
02:13But keep checking, make sure.
02:15I told you. I told you.
02:29Big idea you're not working, then?
02:31Oh, it'll work.
02:32Dining room, two minutes.
02:33Oh, come on, Joe. I can't wait.
02:40That's it. Come on.
02:42Just leave them with these, like.
02:43Stop.
02:44What are we doing?
02:45Mind you not working?
02:46Yes, ma'am.
02:47Come on, mom, quick.
02:49So, is it going to work?
02:51We're about to find out.
02:52Oh, I'm excited.
02:56Hurry up.
02:57Me and Harry are starving here.
02:59Well, we have been waiting long enough.
03:03Right.
03:05Is everyone ready?
03:06Yes.
03:07Three, two, one.
03:12Oh!
03:14Oh, it's amazing.
03:17I mean, it really is something, isn't it?
03:20Very modern.
03:21At least you can see all the redecorating you've been doing now.
03:24Oh, well, what else was I supposed to do for summer?
03:26Oh, I firmly burnt my bridges with the lady's circle.
03:28Oh, you better off.
03:29I don't miss them, but I miss doing something.
03:33Hey, we're looking to the future.
03:34Here, put that away, Liza, will you?
03:36Oh, gladly.
03:38Another unsuitable march, is it?
03:39Oh, I don't know what's worse, when they write or when they visit.
03:42Can't all be bad, Liza.
03:43You'll meet the right one.
03:45Well, I thought our Mary would, too.
03:47I wish Adela weren't in London.
03:49I need a friend to talk to, not you lot.
03:52Hey, there's a room full of experience here.
03:54You should count yourself lucky.
03:55Oh, some experience, Ma.
03:57You scared your own suitor into quitting.
03:59You what, now?
04:00I mean, she's not wrong, Ma.
04:02I mean, the grounds haven't been the same since Victor left.
04:04Well, they look better without him moping about.
04:06Oh, you've a cold out, Mother.
04:07Some of us still like fresh air and hard work, don't we, Joe?
04:11No, I.
04:12Taking shop orders, recording the halls, organising the transport.
04:16It's good, reliable work.
04:21Anyway, this job, this was a brilliant idea.
04:25Who's all that?
04:26Hey, that's not true.
04:28Well, you know what they say?
04:29If you want something done, ask a busy man.
04:31I'm not that busy.
04:35I'm not.
04:36I'm just overseeing the shops.
04:37And the docks.
04:38And the stocks, and the finances, and the property investments.
04:41Here, look.
04:41The world is moving fast.
04:43Can you imagine what it's going to be like for little Samuel over there whenever he runs
04:46Hardacre and Son?
04:47Aye.
04:48Things might fly when you give up the reins.
04:50Anyway, enough work talk.
04:51Harry is heading off next week.
04:53He should be toasting to his last year in school.
04:56Next stop, Oxford.
04:58No, that's a dead boring toast.
05:00How about a toast to change?
05:04A toast to progress.
05:06I think a toast to us.
05:08Aye.
05:08To the bloody hard acres.
05:10Cheers.
05:11Cheers.
05:12Cheers.
05:27Welcome home, darling.
05:29Hello, Paul.
05:33Now, Emma, the season was cut short.
05:36Let's have lunch, and then you can tell me all about London.
05:40Abysmal.
05:41The people, the weather, the prospects.
05:44All anyone spoke of was recession.
05:47I must have something to eat, and then I'm going to see lives.
05:50No, you are not.
05:51I am.
05:55Do you see what I've been dealing with all summer?
05:57No.
05:58She's been wretched, and I know exactly where she's learnt it from.
06:09Woo! Go on, Callum!
06:11Go on, lad!
06:15Look at you.
06:16You're already improving, love.
06:20My dismounts are working, promise.
06:22Aye, so when am I in a row, then?
06:26Uh, tomorrow.
06:27But, Mrs. Hoddick, I must warn you, I've read there could be health implications.
06:34Oh.
06:34What I mean is, the shape of the seat isn't...
06:40There's concerns that, for women...
06:43Why, what's wrong with the shape of the seat, Callum?
06:46For women?
06:49I have business, I must discuss with Mr. Hoddick.
06:51Yeah, he's in the study.
06:53Right, I'll take this one on the back for you.
07:09There's only so much I can do.
07:11But we need to do this for weeks.
07:12The order book was crystal clear.
07:16Nowhere did it say 30 hams.
07:19We did need 30 rashes for breakfast, but we've got none.
07:21Frankly, I'm at a loss for words.
07:23What on earth were you thinking?
07:26It was your responsibility.
07:28You changed everything round.
07:29Yes.
07:30That's what happens with orders.
07:32They change depending on the requirements of the household.
07:35What's going on?
07:37My apologies, Mrs. Hardacre.
07:39There has been an error in our kitchen order.
07:43I was just explaining to Maggie that this kind of carelessness is not acceptable.
07:48I see.
07:49I have the matter in hand.
07:50Oh, I'll have a private word with Maggie.
07:53All the same.
07:55This way.
08:01Finally, a bit of discipline.
08:06Please don't let me go.
08:08I'm letting you go, Maggie.
08:10I'm giving you a break from that dressing down.
08:12But I do want to know what happened.
08:15Mrs. Dryden needed someone to help with kitchen orders.
08:17But we'd only been confined and all, so I said I'd do it.
08:22It's an extra shilling a week.
08:23Right.
08:24And somehow we've ended up with enough boiled ham to feed a small army.
08:29Was the order book not clear?
08:32I don't know, ma'am.
08:35Here.
08:36Have a look.
08:39Does that look clear to you?
08:42Yes, Mrs. Hardacre.
08:47Oh, Maggie, love.
08:52I can't read.
08:54Yeah, well, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
08:57And it helped me memorise the orders.
09:01But then the price has changed.
09:02And Mrs. Henderson wanted different weights.
09:05And I messed it all up.
09:07I'll tell Mrs. Dryden I can't do the new job.
09:09No, you won't.
09:10We'll just have to figure it out, won't we?
09:12Hmm?
09:13I'll help you.
09:15I promise.
09:17Come on.
09:19The median number is about 10% to 15%, and that's a trend we're seeing across all shops currently.
09:28So we're in trouble?
09:29Considering the entire country is suffering a severe recession, I think we should be pleased.
09:35But profits are reduced.
09:36Hopefully temporarily.
09:38And the family investment?
09:40Also slightly reduced.
09:46These are down by half.
09:47Some more.
09:48It looks bad on paper, I agree.
09:49But these are still viable assets.
09:52What can we sell them?
09:53Panicking now is the worst thing we could do.
09:56So we ride out the storm?
09:59Exactly.
10:00The steadfast prevail.
10:02But it's a troubling time.
10:04I can explain all this to Mrs. Harker, too.
10:06No.
10:07Oh, I'll do that.
10:09She should hear it from me.
10:13It's payday tomorrow.
10:14I bring the wages down to the docks.
10:16It's really no trouble.
10:17If the recession's hit us this hard, can you imagine what it's like for the workers?
10:21I need to see the mood.
10:24He's finally down.
10:27How's work?
10:28Great.
10:30Everything's still on schedule.
10:32Considering we lost to him, man.
10:33They quit?
10:35No.
10:36They left for America.
10:37That's it.
10:38Don't start this again.
10:40It'd be an adventure.
10:42Our lives are here.
10:43In Yorkshire.
10:45Our lives can be whatever we want.
10:48Do you feel stuck?
10:50No.
10:51No, Betsy.
10:53No.
10:54Not here with you and Samuel.
10:56You two mean everything to me.
10:59You know that?
11:01It's just work.
11:03Your dad's kept you in that job long enough.
11:07Show him you're ready to take on more responsibility.
11:11You are ready, Joe.
11:15You're right.
11:18You're wrong.
11:20Right, better get back.
11:24Thanks, love.
11:28You must tell me everything.
11:30Was there a queue of men, really?
11:32Oh, no, but at one point, there was a new suture here every day of the week.
11:35It's exhausting.
11:36Who were your callers?
11:38The Honorable Clarence Taylor.
11:39Oh, I don't know what's honorable about him.
11:41All he wanted to know is how much my dowry is.
11:44Is he still painfully dull?
11:45Oh, he spent 40 bloody minutes talking about pigeons.
11:49Then, Sir Thomas Burroughs, you should have seen his ear hair.
11:57And what about London?
12:00The parties were boring, but I made the most of it.
12:03Did you meet anyone you liked?
12:05No.
12:06Nobody worth meeting.
12:08Mama was more unbearable than usual.
12:10Oh, that sounds bloody awful.
12:12She was upset, because I have no prospects left.
12:15Oh, don't be so dafted, Ella.
12:17I must accept it.
12:19And I'm happy, really.
12:21I'll cheer you on until you find your husband instead.
12:27You've no idea, George.
12:29Come now, Emma, surely it can't have been that bad.
12:31It was absolute agony.
12:33She complained non-stop.
12:35She kept giving people her opinion, as if anyone cares about that.
12:38The level of patience I had to master, George, it would test a saint.
12:42We're not bringing her to another season.
12:44I can't go through that humiliation again.
12:48We'll figure something out.
12:50Without a dowry, no one will take her with this disposition.
12:54Look, Emma, I've been focusing on our property since you've been away, and I think...
12:59Oh, please, don't insult an injury with that worthless land.
13:01We're ruined.
13:05Dear God.
13:07What's happened?
13:09Well, is Crispin all right?
13:11My mother.
13:13Oh, Emma, I'm so sorry.
13:15No, she's not dead.
13:17Words.
13:18She's clearly heard something, and she's coming here.
13:34All right, all right.
13:53How are you, Jack?
13:55All right, well, new baby just arrived.
13:57Congratulations.
13:58C plus night.
13:59Aye, yeah, I feel those.
14:01I'm being honest with you, Simon.
14:04I've got four mouths to feed now.
14:06If the price is going on every week, they'll not be raising the price of iron.
14:09It's a shame we can't live on fish alone.
14:12But maybe you could talk to the bakers or the milkmen.
14:14You know, I heard more and more people are trying their luck in America.
14:19If this recession keeps up, well, we might have to go and on.
14:28John.
14:32Josephine, get the white fees.
14:34White.
14:35Metella!
14:36Put something proper on!
14:38Grandma won't mind what I wear.
14:40Last time she saw you, you were a child.
14:42You're a grown woman now, in theory at least.
14:45The house feels brighter already.
14:46Oh, this is splendid.
14:48I look forward to Imelda's stories.
14:49She tells stories so that you share your own.
14:52Do not fall for it.
14:54Must be so dramatic.
14:55She's really not that bad.
14:57My mama looked for any reason to say a medal.
14:59We cannot give her one.
15:00We're not to speak of Adela's failed season or our desperate finances.
15:04And under absolutely no circumstances, is anyone to mention a heartache?
15:11White fees!
15:12Yes, lights!
15:22Oh my God, Liza, listen to this.
15:23Oh, stop it, Ma.
15:24He sliced her from her throat all the way down to her...
15:27Right, I've got something to show you both.
15:29Spring-Eeled Jack, this is unbelievable.
15:31The most terrifying thing about it is that it's all true.
15:34Give over.
15:35Oh, aye.
15:36Spawn of the devil himself.
15:37Right, you coming or not?
15:39We just got comfortable, Mum.
15:41You should try it sometime.
15:42Oh.
15:44It's just, I've got you both a surprise, but if you just want to sit around...
15:47Hang on, hang on, what's the surprise?
15:48Can we see it, Mum, please?
15:50Hmm.
15:51You'd better get changed first.
15:54Ma, will you put your hat on?
15:55I'm not putting it on.
15:56It's bad enough to get rid of these.
15:59Ladies?
16:01Welcome to the future.
16:03Oh, come on.
16:12How easy is it, Callum?
16:14Child's play.
16:15Just fix your gaze on the road ahead and whatever you do, don't stop heading.
16:21I'll be right behind you.
16:24Okay, that's it, Callum, go on the left.
16:25And that will do it.
16:27That's it.
16:29You can use the handlebars first.
16:31Oh, yeah.
16:33Yes, Mrs. Honeycomb.
16:34Woo!
16:35She's going to kill herself.
16:38Yes, Mrs. Honeycomb.
16:40Come on.
16:41What are you waiting for?
16:42Okay.
16:43You'll turn next.
16:45You'll turn next.
16:46Oh, yes!
16:49Oh, yes!
16:50This is the handlebars.
16:51No, no, no, no.
16:55Oh, no.
16:56Oh, no.
17:01Oh, no, no.
17:03Oh, no, no.
17:06Oh, no, no.
17:07Oh, no, no.
17:09Oh, no, no, no, no.
17:11Oh, no, no, no.
17:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
17:29Two days, and she's gone.
17:39Hello.
17:41How nice of you both to greet me.
17:43Oh, what a lovely welcome.
17:46I hope you haven't gone to too much trouble.
17:50Mama, my dear.
17:54Emelda, how are you?
17:55George.
17:57I trust the journey from Bath wasn't too taxing.
18:00Not at all.
18:04I forgot how marvelous this countryside is.
18:12But not as marvelous as this young lady.
18:16Grandma, look at you, sweetheart.
18:19Just as angelic as the day you were born.
18:23Ah, I've brought gifts.
18:27I'm not sure how fitting they are.
18:31Oh, I love them.
18:33I'll wear them tonight.
18:35You shouldn't have brought gifts, Mama.
18:38Well, I just wanted to show my appreciation.
18:41Yeah, I think what Emma is trying to say is that having you here is gift enough.
18:46Exactly.
18:48I've arranged lunch for us.
18:49Yeah, if you don't mind.
18:51I like to stretch my legs and have a breath of fresh air after that long journey.
18:55Of course.
18:56So, you must show me the garden, Sadella.
18:58Oh, we have so much to catch up on.
19:18Yeah.
19:19It's Aunt Eliza.
19:21Your favorite.
19:22Come to see her.
19:25Right.
19:26It's time for a nap.
19:27Oh, thank you.
19:33I thought you'd be at Malum now.
19:34Adele is back.
19:36Telling her about all your new prospects.
19:40Everything all right?
19:41Of course.
19:43Why wouldn't it be?
19:44Jo's working hard.
19:46Samuel's happy.
19:48Great, yeah.
19:50That's great.
19:56How was your friend?
19:58Before I was a wife or a mum, you know.
20:01What are you on about?
20:02I've been here.
20:04And you've been so busy enjoying all that attention.
20:06Oh, hang on.
20:07Attention?
20:09Those toughs barely know my name.
20:10All they care about is the hard-acre bank accounts.
20:13I thought you enjoyed it.
20:16Betsy.
20:16This is not romantic about being interviewed to be your wife.
20:21Anyway, I thought you enjoyed all this.
20:23Oh, I do.
20:24Well, it's hard.
20:25Mum's away, mind and gran.
20:27I never get back to the village.
20:29Oh, Betsy.
20:32I miss seeing everyone.
20:35I'd like to visit more often, but the travel is a big undertaking.
20:39We can visit you.
20:40Well, I have offered many notes in pursuit, and Emma stopped writing once the engagement
20:47was called off.
20:48Then there were rumours about London.
20:51I'm sure it was just idle gossip, but I had to come to see for myself.
21:01Well, I wasn't the perfect lady.
21:04But I'm not getting married, so attending the season's a waste of time.
21:08Oh, you have the handsome fire in you.
21:13Darling, all that matters is your happiness.
21:19But what is it that you want?
21:25I've never been in love.
21:29Though you do want marriage, as long as there is love.
21:36It's a ridiculous notion.
21:38I have no dowry, and men only liked me when I said nothing at all.
21:43But Mrs. Hardacre told me that I'm worth, well, I'm worth more than that.
21:48Hardacre?
21:49Who are the Hardacres?
21:51Tell me everything.
21:55Well, there's my best friend, Liza Hardacre.
21:59And her ma won't even let me up.
22:03Never mind.
22:04No, no, she did mention something about...
22:09What was it again?
22:15Well, there was a bit of a falling out, you see, between my ma and Mrs. Hardacre.
22:27Harry, love, can I ask you something?
22:30Yes.
22:30I told Maggie I'd help her with the reading.
22:33Right.
22:34Is there somewhere she can learn?
22:36No idea.
22:39Right.
22:40Come on.
22:41What's going on?
22:43You've not been yourself for weeks.
22:44You've stopped reading.
22:45I mean, I chopped it up to nerves about your exams, but...
22:47I'm not going back to Barlow's.
22:51Harry.
22:53Harry, where's this call from, love?
22:55Something happened.
22:57I just don't want to go back.
22:59And that's it.
23:00What about Oxford?
23:02Hmm?
23:03That's your dream, love.
23:05I don't care about Oxford anymore.
23:09Just leave it, Mum.
23:16I tried everything in with Harry.
23:18He refuses to go back.
23:20You will.
23:22I'm not going to force him.
23:23You're worrying.
23:25I want to see what's best for our children.
23:27We are.
23:30Anyway, we have bigger problems.
23:33What?
23:35Bigger than our family?
23:38You should have seen the men today.
23:40Their spirit's gone.
23:43Isn't there something we can do?
23:45The price of food's going up.
23:46They're struggling to get by.
23:49All right, so we just up the wages, then?
23:51Kevin says we're in no position to do that.
23:54Is he concerned about our finances?
23:58No, no, no.
24:01It's nothing like that.
24:04I just need to find a solution, that's all.
24:08I just don't know what.
24:25I had your maid light the candle so I could attend to my correspondence.
24:33This check that you get to George, we cannot accept it.
24:39You cannot have people talking.
24:42Whatever it doesn't have told you, we don't require your intervention.
24:45You are hiding away.
24:48I've travelled all this way.
24:50And you haven't even arranged a luncheon for me.
24:54Something is wrong.
24:56I thought you'd be too tired.
24:59There's nothing the matter.
25:01Are you sure?
25:04Yes.
25:07I'm not sure I feel right, leaving you in this state.
25:15How about we host afternoon tea?
25:20The orangery would be perfect.
25:23Wonderful.
25:24A farewell party for you.
25:26I will start the invitation straight away.
25:29We'll invite all the neighbours.
25:32Of course.
25:33I'll invite the Hardacres.
25:36The Hardacres?
25:37Yes.
25:38Adela tells me that her friend, Liza Hardacre, lives next to her.
25:43She's quite the influence.
25:45I should like to meet them.
25:49Is there a problem?
25:53Of course not.
25:54A lovely family.
25:56Good.
26:07A lovely, Mrs Hardacre.
26:10Oh.
26:15That's the Hansen seal.
26:17Who?
26:18Lady Emma's family, the Danish royalty.
26:22Lady Imelda Hansen couldly invites you and your family for afternoon tea in Malum Manor.
26:32That's it to me, Alan, thanks.
26:33Let me see.
26:34Fine.
26:36Fine.
26:38Well, he says here all the neighbours are invited.
26:40Right.
26:40And you think all those neighbours insulted Lady Emma, do you?
26:43Well, maybe not to her face.
26:45I tell her recently friend, though, Mum, it'd be rude not to go.
26:49Oh, come on.
26:50Aren't you just a little bit curious to meet the woman who spawned Lady Emma?
26:53She probably breathes fire.
26:55On both ends.
26:56She might throw a heck of a party.
26:58Hang on.
26:58Why are you so keen to go?
27:00Because I know you miss all that fancy stuff.
27:03Socialising and all.
27:04And we have every right to be there.
27:07Mum, I never get to go to Adela's house.
27:09Might be good for everyone.
27:18Fine.
27:19But if that Lady Emma so much as looks at me funny, I'm going to put her back in her
27:22place.
27:28You know I always love your bike, love.
27:29Oh, I know.
27:30Oh, Mum, I've got the latest order here.
27:33I thought you could help me memorise them like Annie did.
27:35Maggie, that's not how you learn to read, love.
27:40It's all them different shops and weights and prices.
27:43I get mixed up.
27:45Something from the butchers, then the bakers.
27:47Because, you know, if they bought everything from the same place, it would be so much easier.
27:53Everything in the same place?
27:54That could be it.
27:56Meet me in the shop.
27:58Uh, Sam, thank you, Mike.
27:59Sam, wait.
28:05Ah, you've come on a good day.
28:07My rhubarb is thriving.
28:08My rhubarb, you mean?
28:09Remember who gave you them crowns?
28:12So, this Lady Imelda Hansen.
28:15Ah, you've received the invitation, then?
28:17Mm.
28:18If this is another one of Emma's attempts to put our Mary down, I swear...
28:21I'll show you it's not.
28:23Imelda is keen to meet Adela's friends.
28:25Well, our friends, too.
28:27Well, and Emma's happy with that.
28:29Emma wants her mother to be happy.
28:32Maybe Imelda could tease Mary a thing or two.
28:34Ha, ha, ha, ha.
28:41What's this about?
28:42No clue.
28:43Dad?
28:48Good people are struggling to make ends meet.
28:50They don't want charity.
28:52God knows I understand that, but they do need help.
28:54Right, and the way we do that is?
28:57Offer more than just fish.
28:58What?
28:59We turn our hard acre shops into general stores.
29:02That means tea, bread, eggs, you name it, under one roof.
29:06I can't make the bakers and butchers change their prices.
29:10Unless we buy in bulk, and we pass those savings on to our customers.
29:14Give them real value, not charity.
29:16Expanding during a national recession could be risky.
29:19You said it yourself.
29:21People who hold their nerve get the rewards.
29:23Okay, so you're suggesting a trial period.
29:25Convert one shop, see how it fares, then expand.
29:27No, we have to buy them both to get the value that we need.
29:30One shop is not enough.
29:31We have to be bold.
29:33Hmm.
29:34No, we took a chance before, and it paid off.
29:35We could do it again.
29:36Yes.
29:36For an expansion on that scale, you've become any sort of owner.
29:39It's not wrong, Sam.
29:40I mean, you stretch thin as it is, love.
29:42Dad, I know the logistics inside and out.
29:44The orders, the shipments, the schedules.
29:46I've been doing this for 18 months.
29:48I can do it.
29:49I know, Sam.
29:49Well, but Dad, you need to trust me.
29:52I'm not supposed to take over if you don't.
29:55You're right.
29:57Insurance.
29:59Right.
30:01I can get on to new suppliers today.
30:03I can get new stock.
30:05Capitals come in, new shelves.
30:06That's if you agree.
30:08What are you asking him for?
30:09He just told you.
30:10You're the boss, love.
30:12Come on.
30:13Leave him to it.
30:22Come on.
30:24Come on.
30:25Come on.
30:26Come on.
30:29Come on.
30:32There you are.
30:34I've got something fun for us to do today.
30:38Where?
30:40We're going to Mallon Manor for afternoon tea.
30:43Liza, that's your idea of fun.
30:46We can make it fun, though, Betsy.
30:48Please.
30:49Come on.
30:50Let's get dressed up and have a laugh.
30:52Me and you.
30:54What about Samuel?
30:55Oh, don't worry.
30:56I found the perfect nanny.
30:59I won't be long.
31:00I promise.
31:01And if you need me to come back, there'll be no problems here, dear.
31:06Enjoy yourself.
31:08Ah, Reggie.
31:09I am going to find someone to give you lessons in the evening.
31:13Reading, writing and numeracy.
31:15And there's going to be no more issues with the order books.
31:18With respect, Mrs. Hardacre, don't you think this innovation might distract her from her duties?
31:25No.
31:26I think it will help her work to the best of her ability.
31:30Oh, can Henry come to you, ma'am?
31:32The footloof?
31:34Oh.
31:34I want the merrier.
31:36In fact, spread the word.
31:38Our doors are open.
31:40Oh, happy to us, all polished up from Mallon Manor.
31:43We are going to be on our best behaviour.
31:46Aren't we, Mary?
31:47I don't know if I care what the fit servants think.
31:51We'll do ourselves.
31:53I don't give over.
31:54Come on, Matt.
31:56Good in.
31:57Mind your dress.
31:59Mind your dress.
32:01Oh, I'm excited.
32:03Let's go.
32:04No.
32:04No.
32:05No.
32:51Mama, this is Mr. and Mrs. Salmon's Mary Hardacre.
32:57And this is my mother, Lady Melody Hanson.
33:01The Hardacres are titans of industry.
33:04They made a fortune in fisheries.
33:06Do you own a port, Mr. Hardacre?
33:09Herring shop.
33:10Yeah, we started out as goodies.
33:12But they have a huge portfolio.
33:14Properties, investments, international ventures.
33:17From the ground up.
33:20Very impressive indeed.
33:22And this is...
33:23Call me my...
33:26And this is our eldest, Joe, his wife, Betsy, our youngest, Harry, and her daughter, Liza.
33:32Liza's been such a good friend to Idella.
33:34And Harry's studying at Barno's, George's alma mater.
33:38Yes.
33:39Actually, I've quit school.
33:41If you'd like to help yourself to refreshments inside.
33:47She's been on the champagne already.
33:49Come on, Dwayne.
34:19All right, it's a bit soft here, isn't it?
34:21Perhaps it'll be a lot.
34:23I heard someone say they're going to read poetry.
34:26Why don't we go down to the village?
34:28No one knows we're gone.
34:30All right, let's go, then.
34:31All of us.
34:32Come on, Bella.
34:33We can't.
34:33It's Grandmama's last day.
34:35Well, then you cover for us.
34:37If anyone asks, we're powdering our nose.
34:48As a patron of thespians, I thought today a delightful excuse to invite one of Bath's renowned readers, Donald Willis.
35:03Enjoy!
35:07Tomorrow.
35:09And tomorrow.
35:11Oh, God.
35:12And tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time.
35:20This is our punishment for turning off.
35:22All our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.
35:31I've only had one drink.
35:33Be back in an hour.
35:34I heard that reader say he's got players to last the whole night.
35:46Two glasses of ale, please, Tom.
35:48Come in, Michael.
35:53There you are.
35:59It's good to be back.
36:02The seeds of Banquo, kings, rather than so.
36:06Come, fate, into the list and champion me to the utterance.
36:13And now for a short break.
36:15Thank God for that.
36:17I feel like a virtual thousand years.
36:18I need a break.
36:19I need to top up.
36:21I need something stronger.
36:25Well, we're going to need it.
36:27We have to sit through another hour of him.
36:29You know, I had the butler choose the readings.
36:35Obviously a bad mistake.
36:39Well, you know what they say.
36:41You want something doing right, do it yourself.
36:44Oh, indeed.
36:46You know, I had terrible trouble convincing Emma to throw this party at all.
36:51Well, I had terrible trouble convincing Mary to come.
36:54Well, you're almost welcome.
36:58You know, I would have put money on Lady M slinging mud the minute we walked through the door.
37:03You like a little wager, do you?
37:06Only when I'm playing cards.
37:13Right.
37:14Come on.
37:15All right.
37:19Excuse me.
37:21There's no rush.
37:23Why don't you stay for a while?
37:25Oh.
37:26Thank you, sir.
37:28But I'm afraid I must decline.
37:31It's all good for us now.
37:33Why is there a heartache?
37:34Now?
37:35Don't even come into it.
37:37I will chill good for the likes of you and I will gut and fish.
37:39Move.
37:40We just want to go home.
37:42Please.
37:43The lady told you to stand aside.
37:45If I were in your shoes, I'd do as I was told.
37:48It's in your business.
37:49Great.
37:51But I could choose to make it my business.
37:54Or alternatively.
37:57You could leave these two ladies alone.
38:00And then I'd leave you alone.
38:06There's a good chap.
38:08Excellent choice.
38:13How of you know I could knock out a drunken idiot like Joshua Calder with a single punch?
38:21That's so.
38:23Then have at it.
38:24My money's on the lady.
38:26Why?
38:27Let's go.
38:33She ordered 30 of them.
38:35I said, we'll be eating home till Christmas.
38:37Right, you tongue now.
38:38It's not Maggie's fault.
38:39She never learned to read.
38:41So that is why you're setting up the little school.
38:44I just believe that education should be for everyone.
38:47You're putting our charitable efforts to shame.
38:52Emma, you should hear this.
38:54Oh, I'd love to, Mother.
38:55But the reader is about to do the closing verse.
38:58So I think we should all make our way back over.
39:03Yes.
39:03Mary.
39:05Emma.
39:08I know there's been some tension between you both.
39:13But, Emma, wasn't there something you wanted to say to Mrs. Harvick?
39:19An apology.
39:21No, there's really no need.
39:22No, I believe there is.
39:25Emma.
39:29I'm sorry, Mary.
39:32The past.
39:34Misunderstand it.
39:38Thank you, Lady Emma.
39:40Well, with the girls being such fast friends, I think you two should be as well.
39:51Away, and mock the time with fairest show.
39:55False face must hide what the false heart doth know.
40:01Such a delightful afternoon.
40:02Thank you for joining us.
40:04Thank you, Lady Imelda.
40:06Thank you, Lady Emma.
40:08It's been a lovely afternoon.
40:10Until the next time.
40:12Yes.
40:14Right.
40:14Come on, let's go.
40:17I want to talk about it.
40:18I'd say Lady Imelda over Lady Emma, ain't it?
40:28I'd say.
40:32Splendid afternoon.
40:34Thank you for suggesting it.
40:36And for restoring our friendship with the Harvickers.
40:40Now, your carriage for tomorrow.
40:41I'm staying.
40:44Mama.
40:45You should have told me about these Harvickers.
40:49Sticking their grubby fingers in our businesses, our schools, our marriage prospects.
40:57It's abhorrent, don't you think?
40:59I know that.
41:01But you've done nothing to deter it.
41:04I had to oust it from the ladies' circle.
41:07They had no problem arriving back here, bold as brass.
41:14You've always been weak, Emma.
41:17And I am left to clean up your mess.
41:21I can manage this myself.
41:25Adela has been totally taken in by them.
41:29And I am not leaving until everything has been reverted to the natural order.
41:36Now, how do you propose to do that?
41:38I want to make an example of them.
41:42A warning to anybody who thinks that they can buy glass.
41:47It's possible they don't care what people think.
41:50It's not about humiliating them.
41:52It's about finding their weak spot.
41:56You see, they think us friends.
42:02So, we wait until the moment that they expose themselves for what they really are.
42:10They'll be back down those docks before they know what's happened.
42:14And I do hope they haven't forgotten how to cut fish.
42:25My method has worked for 20 years, Mrs. Hardacre.
42:28Please give it a chance.
42:29Don't leave.
42:30Look.
42:30You know how you can make them glasses work if you just open your bloody eyes.
42:33If we don't make any profit, how are we meant to help people?
42:36The Baron of Felixstow.
42:38Call in a nice Hardacre.
42:39The important thing is, he's not a Fortunander.
42:42I don't want to do any of this.
42:45So, can we just get on with the lesson so I can go?
42:47You must stay.
42:48You're a keen card player.
42:50Cards, is it?
42:51All right, I will.
