00:13To be continued...
00:30...with some decorations and make it look old.
00:32Liza, I wouldn't worry too much how it all looks.
00:34Let's just focus on the big picture.
00:36We've got to get the village hall ready for tomorrow.
00:38We've got the stage for the performers, we've got the tables for the tasting competition.
00:41Did you find any volunteers for the poetry reading?
00:46Erm...
00:47What about a judge for the tasting competition?
00:49Oh, not yet. Liza.
00:51Liza, I know you're upset.
00:53Oh, Mum, I'm fine.
00:55Right, right. Not to worry.
01:00We'll, erm...
01:01We'll have our own students read.
01:03Maggie?
01:05Maggie, please.
01:07Please, look, it'll be good for the school.
01:09It'll be good for you.
01:10Imagine if you were to run a house one day.
01:12A lot more would go into running a house than reading.
01:16All right.
01:18I'll do it.
01:19Excellent.
01:20And ask the others tonight.
01:21Oh, and Mr. Beasley, would you mind being the judge of the tasting competition?
01:26A conflict of interest, I'm afraid, Mum.
01:29My elderflower cordial's won four years in a row, and I'm going for five.
01:34Right.
01:35Well, Mrs. Dryden, then?
01:37Well, you stretched too thin.
01:40Well, in the community spirit, I would be happy to assist with the judging.
01:47Well, there we go.
01:48We'll pull the whole thing off with that itch.
01:54Cheers.
01:55Cheers.
02:01Cheers.
02:01Cheers.
02:01Cheers.
02:02Cheers.
02:03It's tart.
02:05I know.
02:06But people do like a stiff drink.
02:09It's rhubarb cordial, Georgie.
02:10It's not gin.
02:12Yes, you're right.
02:14Well, I thought maybe I could enter it into the Harvest Festival competition.
02:17There I go again.
02:19Another ridiculous idea.
02:20That's enough of that.
02:22It's almost there.
02:23It just needs a bit more sugar.
02:27You think it's in with a chance?
02:28You'll knock their socks off.
02:30I agree.
02:32Nothing ventured, eh?
02:34Yes.
02:35Now, to find some sugar.
02:40Ah!
02:41I was hoping to see you before you left.
02:44I fear I am facing a bit of a social calamity.
02:48Right.
02:50You've heard of the Devon sisters, I presume?
02:55Obscenely wealthy, renowned card players.
02:58Not a clue.
02:59Were they from round here?
03:00Oh, no.
03:00They're passing through Yorkshire and demanding a bridge game, no less.
03:05I thought of asking Emma, but poor mesh.
03:10You'll have to repeat that, love.
03:12Poor mesh.
03:14It's a term one uses when bridge partners can't communicate.
03:19Oh, well, I haven't suffered from that myself.
03:21I have come so close to beating those women multiple times.
03:26And with the right partner, I know I could win.
03:30Now, you and I, there's a pair.
03:35Well, how did they beat you before?
03:36Oh, they upped the bids at the last minute, pricing everyone out.
03:40Oh, crafty buggers.
03:42Well, they couldn't pull that with you.
03:44Well, there's nothing I love more than parting rich folk from their money, but a game like that...
03:48This is my reputation.
03:50I wouldn't ask if I didn't think we could win.
03:57All right.
03:58I'll have to look into this mesh thing, but...
04:00Go on, men.
04:02Consider us a team.
04:03Oh, bravo!
04:16Right, what's all this secrecy for?
04:22I'm surprised, man.
04:26It's, uh...
04:36A canning machine?
04:37Yeah.
04:39We've had problems moving some of the stock, and this is guaranteed to prolong its life.
04:45Great.
04:46What is it?
04:48It's not here yet.
04:50It was to be delivered at ten, though.
04:55Well, it'll be here any minute, so...
04:59Well, I'd hope so.
05:08Darling, we missed you at lunch.
05:12What's the matter?
05:14I took something I shouldn't have.
05:22It was a letter from one of the hard acres.
05:25Harry.
05:27Did you read it?
05:29No, I promise I didn't.
05:35Well, this can easily be fixed.
05:39Letters go missing.
05:41And the sender simply writes it again if they need.
05:45Should I not try to return it?
05:48Perhaps.
05:49But can you imagine if you're caught?
05:52Can you explain your actions?
05:55No, the best thing for you and the hard acres is to destroy it.
06:15There.
06:17Our little secret.
06:45Have I lost you, Harry?
06:50You seem distracted today.
06:53I'd like my letter back.
06:54What letter?
06:56My letter.
07:00Didn't you get it?
07:01No.
07:02What was in it?
07:03You didn't?
07:05Really?
07:07Oh, it was a new reading list I'd been working on.
07:11I got excited and I put it under your bedroom door.
07:15I thought maybe you didn't like the books I'd suggested.
07:18You should have said something sooner.
07:21We'll do up the list again and I'll order them as a priority.
07:24I'm sure I'll love this selection.
07:27Maybe one of the servants took it by mistake whilst they were cleaning.
07:36Okay, look here.
07:37It was definitely scheduled to be delivered today.
07:41Wait, you tell them that we want a discount for every day that is lit.
07:44We're not giving them a penny until then.
07:47We've already paid.
07:50What?
07:50It was half up front and half when it's delivered.
07:55Look, Dad, we double checked everything.
07:57You don't have to worry.
07:58Okay, their office is in Leeds.
08:00I'll go there.
08:01Iron this whole thing up.
08:02Thank you, Cal.
08:14And remember, the Harpies Festival's here in two days.
08:17So if anyone can do a reading at all, talk to me after the lesson.
08:21I'm worried I'd mess up the words.
08:22Oh, you've nothing to worry about, Maggie.
08:24Yeah, you're more than capable.
08:25It's just nerves, love.
08:27I mark up the poem just like we've been practicing.
08:29I'll have it sent over to Harvey Echo Hall tomorrow.
08:31And you'll be coming to the festival too, won't you, Lady Emma?
08:35I suppose I can.
08:37Good.
08:38I'll stand right there in your eyeline, Maggie.
08:44Uh, we're in the middle of a lesson here, Mr...
08:48Mr. Bartholomew Balfour from the National Vigilance Association.
08:53I'm sorry, the what?
08:54You heard me.
08:55I've received complaints about this school, and I must sign out a few details before I
09:01leave for York.
09:02Complaints?
09:04Yes, about your teaching methods.
09:07From who?
09:07That, madam, is confidential.
09:10Listen, if you've got a problem that you'd like to discuss, we can schedule a time.
09:13No, thank you.
09:14I'll address this matter directly with your husband.
09:18I set up this school.
09:19You'll address me.
09:24Do you know, I had thought the fears about you might be trumped-up allegations.
09:31Clearly, I was mistaken.
09:33Tell Mr. Hardacre to expect my visit.
09:37You need to be careful, Mary.
09:40Bartholomew Balfour's a powerful man.
09:42Bartholomew Balfour's a powerful man.
09:43Bartholomew Balfour's a powerful man.
10:03Yes.
10:06They're not great.
10:07They're brilliant, Liza.
10:09Right, let's get them down to the village hall and help set up.
10:12Well, I thought this was meant to be fun.
10:15Well, it is fun. We just need to put in the work first.
10:21Look, I know you're heartbroken.
10:23I'm not bloody heartbroken.
10:26I'm glad I'm not with that liar.
10:28Just because Edward lied, it doesn't make what you felt any different.
10:31What would you know, Mum?
10:33I don't care about Edward.
10:35And I don't care about this stupid harvest festival.
10:52The Vigilance Association paid a visit to the school yesterday.
10:57I am glad Bartholomew finally went to investigate.
11:01Indeed.
11:03At least you won't have to teach those dreadful classes anymore.
11:06Or, once Bartholomew sees what Mrs. Hardacre's really like, he will shut her down.
11:13I don't want the Fitzherbert name associated.
11:16When the school becomes a scandal, you must remove yourself.
11:21But these pupils haven't done anything wrong.
11:26I hope you're not blaming me for this outcome.
11:30All I did was pass on the information that you provided.
11:36Oh, Emma, you're not starting to enjoy her company.
11:40Of course not.
11:41Good.
11:42I have my own plan in motion.
11:45By tomorrow, the Hardacres will be finished.
11:50All you have to do is stay away from them.
11:54Do I make myself clear?
11:57Crystal Mama.
11:59You know, Emma said it was some sort of morality police, this association.
12:03But I want to know who made that complaint.
12:06Maybe it's Franny's husband.
12:07Well, I'll get to the bottom of it.
12:08It sounds as if he's just doing his job.
12:10Oh, is that what we're calling it?
12:11Mary, and Sultanum's not going to get rid of him.
12:13Right.
12:14So what do you propose we do, then?
12:15We do nothing.
12:16He's coming to see me.
12:17Er, it's my skull.
12:19And I have no problem telling him where to stick it.
12:21You're fired up.
12:22He means business.
12:23You're never going to reach an agreement like that.
12:25Who says I have to agree with him?
12:31So, Mr Balfour has arrived.
12:34Thank you, Beasley.
12:37You need him to be on your side for this to go away.
12:39So flatter him if you have to.
12:41Let him think that he's won the battle.
12:43That way, you can win the war.
12:51Can I pour you a glass?
12:53Drunkenness blinds good men to the immorality they're steeped in.
13:00What can I do for you, Mr Balfour?
13:02Concerns have been raised about your wife's classes.
13:05They're just getting help with her reading.
13:06I don't see a problem with that.
13:08Well, I've been called in to make an assessment of this school,
13:11and my duties include weeding out immorality and vice.
13:16But I now have other concerns.
13:19Your wife, sir, simply lacks the temperament fitting for a teacher.
13:28Education and religion are the cornerstones of our society.
13:33If your wife makes a mockery of that, it won't end well for either of you.
13:38Mary Texas very seriously.
13:39Oh, come now, Mr Hardacre.
13:41You're more intelligent than that.
13:43You're a businessman.
13:45Your shops are reliant on customers, are they not?
13:48Well, as rumors travel,
13:51this school will not only reflect poorly on your wife,
13:54it will impact your business.
13:58Is that a threat?
13:59No, sir.
14:00This is an ultimatum.
14:02Your wife is not an educator, Mr Hardacre.
14:05Tell her to step back from teaching,
14:07or I will be left with no choice but to shut down this school.
14:12Now, your presence is needed urgently at the village hall.
14:16There has to be a compromise.
14:18Mr Palfour.
14:19Mr Palfour, I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday,
14:22and I would very much like to invite you to the Harvest Festival tomorrow.
14:26Now, I understand you have some concerns, but...
14:28The Harvest Festival is for the workers, not the upper classes.
14:31Yes, but it's a celebration for the village.
14:34And there's going to be food,
14:35and the students are going to read poetry,
14:37and you'll see the benefit of the school.
14:39Look, a month ago, they could hardly read letters,
14:41and now they're reading in front of a whole hall full of people.
14:44Well, I've seen all I need to see.
14:45I've given your husband my recommendation.
14:47Look, please, Mr Palfour,
14:49I wrote to you yesterday, and I apologize for that,
14:52but if you come tomorrow, you'll see what I'm trying to achieve.
14:55The school needs all the support it can get,
14:57and I want to show you the progress I've made,
14:59and I want to show you that people's concerns are nonsense.
15:02Very well.
15:03I would like to put this matter to bed as swiftly as possible.
15:06If you can demonstrate that your teaching methods are effective,
15:11I will happily leave you be.
15:13Well, thank you, sir.
15:16Oh, my God.
15:18Mary.
15:19Ma'am, there won't be a Harvest Festival at all
15:21if decisions aren't made now.
15:23Right.
15:24What's the problem?
15:25Come with me, please, ma'am.
15:27Come with me, sir.
15:33Well?
15:35Their offices are empty.
15:40Did you get a forward-end address?
15:42I'm trying to find one.
15:45Calum, there has to be an explanation.
15:48What about those Americans you were speaking to?
15:50I'm making inquiries, but...
15:53I fear we may also need to notify the police.
15:57Why the hell would we do that?
16:00To declare the money stolen?
16:02Joe,
16:03I believe these were complete con men.
16:08No, can we hide the beer in the corner, please, love?
16:11This is a big game, though.
16:12Inbridge, understanding someone's decision is imperative.
16:16Poor mesh can make or break a game.
16:18Right.
16:19It's an honour to be invited.
16:21It speaks to your talents.
16:24And the talents of your teacher.
16:26Oh, okay.
16:27I need to find out whether we've got good mesh before I agree.
16:32Then practice with Lady Hanson.
16:34Can you spot your partner's plays?
16:37What is she telling you about her hand?
16:39What are her bids revealing to you?
16:41You mean, try and figure out what her cards are?
16:43You must be careful.
16:45She can't visually hint to a specific card.
16:47That's cheating.
16:48But she can hint to a strong or weak hand.
16:51Oh.
16:52You mean like tells in poker?
16:55No.
16:56Bridge is a respectable game.
16:58Cards are cards, Mrs. Dean.
16:59No matter what fancy name you give them.
17:01But...
17:01Right.
17:02I need to practice.
17:10Look, I can explain to your father what a sophisticated operation this was.
17:13You...
17:13You won't care, Carl.
17:15Nobody finds out I haven't even seen a canning machine.
17:17Joe, this could have happened to anyone.
17:19No, it was my mistake.
17:20I need to tell him myself.
17:38Oh, sorry.
17:39I was...
17:40I was going to wait here for Joe.
17:41I'll go somewhere else.
17:42No, it's fine.
17:42I'll go.
17:44Are you alright, Leza?
17:45I wish everyone would stop asking me that.
17:48You should have just left well enough alone.
17:51I don't know.
17:53You deserve to be with someone who...
17:55Everybody's a bloody expert on what I deserve.
17:58Callum, you could have just come to me.
18:00Instead of involving my whole family.
18:02I didn't think it would be appropriate coming from me.
18:04So why did you get involved at all then?
18:06I'm sorry.
18:09I told Joe I'll speak to him later.
18:13Good day, Miss Leza.
18:14Good day, Miss Leza.
18:26It was me who asked Callum to look into that slimy Blackwood.
18:31If you want to be angry with anyone, be angry with me.
18:33I'm angry with myself for being a bloody fool.
18:39Blackwood is a fool.
18:41Don't you ever forget that?
18:45It's better things to do with your life than marriage and men.
18:48Eh?
18:52Have you heard from Lady Fitzherbert?
18:54No.
18:55Hi.
18:55She told me she'd mark up my poem, but it never arrived.
18:58I know.
18:59Perhaps you've got busy love.
19:01Will she be here tomorrow?
19:03I don't know.
19:04I'm sure Lady Emma won't let us down.
19:07I'll help you practice.
19:07Just hang on a minute there.
19:09I always need to go by the door.
19:10All right, Mum.
19:11It's okay, Mum.
19:12I can practice by myself.
19:15Is that your problem?
19:17All right, come on.
19:19Everyone practice now.
19:21Come on.
19:22Thank you, Mrs. Ardacre.
19:25Come, ye thankful people.
19:28Come.
19:28How could you let this happen?
19:31They were a sophisticated scheme.
19:34Callum said so himself.
19:35The shops are just back on their feet.
19:37We still can't move some of our products.
19:39And you spend a chunk of money that we don't have on a machine that you didn't even see.
19:43The world's moving fast.
19:45That's what you said.
19:47All I'm trying to do is make these shops work.
19:49Oh, really?
19:49By overstocking them?
19:50We needed variety.
19:51By selling rotten fish.
19:52We used those methods for years at Shaw's and no one got sick.
19:55And now the can of the machine, John.
19:56Yeah, I trusted the wrong people, but it was a good idea.
19:59You still can't take responsibility.
20:01I'm trying to, but you won't let me.
20:02I've given you every opportunity, Joe.
20:04All you've done is breathe down my necks and it's the day you gave me the bloody job.
20:08If you don't trust me, then why'd you ask me to do it?
20:10I only gave you the job because I didn't want you to leave.
20:19I didn't mean that, Joe.
20:22I'm all you, man.
20:30Damn it.
20:46More bridge?
20:48Hmm.
20:48I'm practising with him elder later.
20:51Well, I suppose I should be relieved that you knocked down the pub betting on poker.
20:56Work a respectable lady of you, yeah.
21:03I'm worried about Liza.
21:06She'll be all right.
21:08I just wish she'd stop being so stubborn and let me help her.
21:11Hmm.
21:12Reminds me of someone.
21:16You know, I'm worried I'm going about it all the wrong way.
21:19About Liza?
21:19Or this thing with the school?
21:21Both?
21:23Trust your gut.
21:24Yeah.
21:25Well, that's what's got me in trouble so far.
21:27Well, change always causes a bit of trouble.
21:32I know.
21:35What happened?
21:38No, talk to me.
21:40That canning machine I bought.
21:43It was a con.
21:45Lost them on end.
21:48I'm sorry, love.
21:50One more disappointment to answer my dad's list.
21:54Mistakes happen.
21:55But he put you in charge.
21:57Don't forget that.
21:57Only because he went so afraid of me quitting altogether.
22:00Betsy doesn't see me running the business.
22:03Did he say that?
22:06I don't know why I bothered you on them.
22:09People say things in the heat of the moment.
22:13He's lucky to have you.
22:15And if he can't see that, maybe it's time for us to make a change.
22:23Queen of clubs.
22:25Another trick.
22:27Well, of course we're going to win playing like this.
22:29No, no, it's not just about winning.
22:31We're learning about each other.
22:33I've seen several of your tells.
22:35Oh, give over.
22:36I've given nowt away.
22:38You shift to the left of your seat.
22:40When you make a bid, you're not sure we can win.
22:44The chair's lumpy.
22:45And you scratch your eyebrow when you've been dealt a bad hand.
22:50You need to get your eyes checked.
22:51It's not an insult.
22:53We're playing well together because of it.
22:57Okay.
22:58When you have a good hand, you put your little finger on the edge of the card.
23:02And whenever you have diamonds, you touch your brooch.
23:05You see?
23:06It's working.
23:08Good mesh.
23:11Diamonds.
23:12Yes.
23:13But how can we be sure when we're playing with an open hand?
23:16Then let's play properly.
23:20Brand, fetch Lord and Lady Fitzherbert, please.
23:23Yes, ma'am.
23:25Isn't it strange how so many people have a problem with the skull?
23:29It just feels like from day one it's been problem after problem.
23:32You know, teachers don't like it.
23:34Husbands don't like it.
23:35Let's just hope Balfour's impressed.
23:37Or you might have to step back.
23:39You're not serious?
23:41Mary, that association could ruin our family name.
23:43Never mind severely damage the business.
23:45Don't be ridiculous.
23:46Don't be naive.
23:47We need to think about family security.
23:48You're jeopardising our reputation.
23:50Joe's throwing away money that we don't have.
23:51Is this about family, Sam?
23:53Because it sounds a lot like business to me.
23:55The business is part of our family.
23:56I'm not saying the shops aren't important.
23:58But so is the school, and so are Georgian.
24:01Balfour has it in for you.
24:03We could lose everything if you don't stop.
24:07I set out to do something.
24:09And I'm going to see it through.
24:11We can't win every battle, Mary.
24:14No, we can try.
24:20Eleven tricks, and that's the game.
24:23Oh, dear.
24:25I think we've had quite enough for one night.
24:27George.
24:28Oh, yes, yes.
24:30I bid you good night.
24:32Good night.
24:36There.
24:37Are you convinced?
24:38Oh, we're bloody decent, all right.
24:40I can't wait to see the look on their faces when we win.
24:45Yeah, it's and where it hurts.
24:46The pride and their purses.
24:49Oh, speaking of purses, what will you bring as collateral?
24:54Collateral?
24:54Well, it's routine in games of this caliber.
24:58What kind of collateral?
24:59Well, I'll bring rubies.
25:02But in the absence of precious gems,
25:05the deeds to a house like Hardacre Hall would suffice.
25:12You know, the usual.
25:15Okay.
25:16The usual, right?
25:18Well, I'd be happy to provide collateral for us both,
25:22if you can't afford it.
25:26The Hardacre's a bloody good for it.
25:29I will be here tomorrow with the collateral.
25:33Oh, excellent.
25:36Cheers.
25:41Darling, are you ready?
25:43We don't want to be late.
25:48Are you ready for the Harvest Festival, dear?
25:53I have a dreadful migraine.
25:54I just don't think I can manage it.
25:56Mary wouldn't have to organize the students on her own.
25:59Of course.
26:01Better you're not there to see me lose.
26:03I'm sure you'll do wonderfully, George.
26:06Yes.
26:08Please offer my deepest apologies to Mrs. Hardacre.
26:12Of course.
26:13Best you feel better, dear.
26:14Oh.
26:15Oh.
26:43Oh, hello.
26:46Hello, ladies.
26:47Good to see you.
26:47I'm so glad you're here.
26:48Don't forget to buy some pickles.
26:50All right.
26:50Oh, and your bread.
26:52It's always the best.
26:52Not forgetting yours.
26:53Thank you, Mrs. Hardegger.
26:55I'm going to cook some meals, Henderson.
26:58Mr. Beasley.
26:59Mom.
27:00Can't wait to try.
27:01Mrs. Hardegger, how are you?
27:02George.
27:03Please feel free to vibe.
27:04Well, I will.
27:05I've heard great things about your rhubarb.
27:07At your leisure, ma'am.
27:07Mrs. Henderson, you never let us down.
27:10Thank you, ma'am.
27:11Are we all in good order?
27:13Get in there, ma'am.
27:14Good.
27:14Good.
27:15Good, good.
27:16Oh, the stew.
27:18Smells wonderful.
27:21Here, I'll have a go.
27:23Here we go.
27:25Welcome to the Hardegger Harvest Festival.
27:27Oh, now.
27:28I've got something to show you.
27:30Come on.
27:31I'm sorry about yesterday.
27:33No, I shouldn't have pushed you when you were upset.
27:35I'm not upset.
27:36All right.
27:37Look.
27:38Lemon drops.
27:39Yeah, you see?
27:41No good Harvest Festival goes without them.
27:44Listen.
27:45The right person's out there, love.
27:48Someone that you can trust.
27:50What if there is a goal?
27:52What do you mean?
27:53Joe's working.
27:55Harry's got university.
27:56What do I do if I don't get married?
27:59With Edward, I could see something in my future at least.
28:03It just doesn't seem fair.
28:05I know.
28:07I know, and I'm sorry, love.
28:11I'm sorry.
28:13I'm so frustrated.
28:15I've got lots of dreams, Betsa.
28:17You know that.
28:19But I can't do them with him breathing down my neck.
28:22You're fixated on winning his approval.
28:24I've got dreams too, Joe.
28:26And do you know what they all start with?
28:28Our family.
28:30You, me, little Samuel.
28:33I keep imagining what it would feel like if we felt free to build the life we wanted.
28:38I imagine it too, Betsa.
28:44Well, you know what it would mean.
28:52Mr. Wolfer, thank you for coming.
28:55Mr. Hardacre.
28:56Pleasure.
28:57Mrs. Hardacre.
29:02So, this vigilance society.
29:06National Vigilance Association.
29:08Right.
29:09Of course.
29:09The National Vigilance Association.
29:11What does it do exactly?
29:13Well, it's a self-appointed society.
29:15More of a vocation, really.
29:17We uphold moral standards for the collective good.
29:21Oh.
29:21That's very thoughtful.
29:24So, you appoint yourselves and then you decide what is and isn't moral?
29:28Yes.
29:28And that includes schools?
29:30It includes anything that may expose citizens to illicit materials or radical thoughts.
29:36Oh, I can assure you, Mr. Balfour, we have nothing like that in our school.
29:39Hmm.
29:40Usually, we work with the Board of Education, which has appointed teachers and trained professionals.
29:47What you've set up is different.
29:50It's hardly the worst of its kind.
29:52Indeed.
29:52Indeed.
29:53I just want to help in whatever way I can.
29:55And this class is doing some real good, Mr. Balfour.
29:59Lovely sentiment, Mrs. Hardacre.
30:02Let me be the judge of that.
30:07Lady Agatha and Lady Caroline, you're most welcome.
30:12Shall we get the business out of the way?
30:17Collateral.
30:18My rare rubies from Burma.
30:24A promissory note to my house in Cornwall.
30:28And mine in Windsor.
30:30And mine in Yorkshire.
30:36Let's begin.
30:46Let's begin.
30:51Third prize.
30:55Well done.
31:03Second prize.
31:10No hard feelings for the physical.
31:13And first prize, this exquisite rhubarb cordial.
31:29I do love a sharp drink in autumn.
31:33Congratulations.
31:34Thank you so much.
31:35I'm good, George.
31:41Thanks.
31:45Best of three.
31:47Are we agreed?
31:48Absolutely.
31:51It'll only take two games to wipe the floor with them.
31:53Confident.
31:55Confident.
31:56They're always confident to begin.
31:59Bidding.
32:00One heart.
32:01No bid.
32:03Two hearts.
32:05No bid.
32:06Four hearts.

32:41to recite some harvest poetry.
32:43So if you'd like to just join me and welcome them,
32:47please welcome Maggie to the stage.
32:53I think you'll enjoy this.

35:30canning machine from were in touch so they haven't pulled a fast one no some of their workers
35:34came down with russian flu while they were moving offices dreadful but the machine will arrive next
35:46week tell joe a woman apology but he was still reckless well splendid day mrs hardaker you've
35:55done a wonderful job thank you sir i'm not sure why anyone was so concerned your students can barely
36:03get to a poem excuse me when i first met you i was somewhat concerned a woman with little education
36:11herself attempting to teach others now hold on here a minute no no son let mr balford tell us
36:16what he thinks what i mean is i can see you're just like all the other women of your ilk
36:22board money to spare the whim of an idea why i doubt this school will make it through winter before
36:28you
36:29move on to something else that said i do have a few suggestions i'd like to offer this school
36:34it's not i think he's well aware of that no no no why should we bow down to someone like
36:38him
36:39he ain't got a bloody clue what he's talking about how dare you no how dare you judge us
36:45and this school is changing things education is powerful it's giving our students a voice
36:51a voice to stand up to the landlords to their employers well even to their own bloody husbands
36:56mr hardaker are you going to allow your wife to speak to me this way allow yeah because that's
37:02what it's all about isn't it mr balford allowing you are treading on dangerous territory well i must
37:10be doing something right then my wife has a point mr balford you saw the students for yourself this is
37:16about changing things surely that's what matters i can and will close down this school
37:22you do as you must but if people want an education they're gonna go looking for it if anyone is
37:27to
37:28educate the people around here it will be done the right way i will contact the board of education
37:33and request an immediate intervention this school is finished good day to you

37:57you want to play the collateral is that more than you can spare

38:17one one game oh hang on we've already started the third game the cards are dealt if you're certain
