00:03Tristan!
00:03Tristan!
00:04You can bring your rabbit in by all means, but we are busy, you'll have to wait.
00:09However, it won't be too long.
00:11We'll see you shortly.
00:13He's not upstairs.
00:15He were just here. He can't have gone far.
00:19I'm so sorry for the slight delay, everyone.
00:22Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
00:27James, have you seen Tristan? He was just young.
00:30Siegfried, Siegfried, about this drop-in system. It's far too much.
00:32Can't stop. Full surgery.
00:38Tristan?
00:44Tristan?
00:45Get in there.
00:47We're chock-a-block in case you hadn't noticed.
00:50I think you're in trouble.
00:51Hardly. I'm a grown adult.
00:53And yet we're hiding.
00:54This is the only way I can get a breather.
00:56Siegfried's working us all into the ground so he can bring in more business.
00:59And we're like ships in the night.
01:00Oh, I know. I'm sorry, but at least we're together now.
01:05I hate to break it to you, but I actually came to ask a favour.
01:09Oh, and there I was thinking you missed me.
01:10I did. But we've got wild cats living in the garden, so I'm worried they might be ill.
01:14Are you sure they're wild, not strays?
01:16Yes. Herbert, our groundsman, said there's been a feral family on the estate for years.
01:19Are we still talking about the cats?
01:22Would you mind coming to take a look?
01:24Daddy said I should leave them to their own devices, but they're such adorable little scraps I have in the
01:27heart.
01:28Of course I'll come.
01:29There you are.
01:31Siegfried's very keen to track you down, by the way.
01:33Yes, I'm aware.
01:35Hang on.
01:36You're not leaving us in the lurch, are you?
01:38Well, I'm expected at Heston, I'm afraid.
01:40Come with my status.
01:41But we're inundated.
01:43Sorry!
01:44Whenever you can, no rush.
02:05I tried talking to Siegfried.
02:08They went exactly as you can imagine.
02:10No surprise there, then.
02:11We've always accepted urgent cases, but now he expects us to treat every little concern, on the spot, no appointment
02:16necessary.
02:17Which means I'm constantly on the go and I barely get to see you.
02:19Treating poorly cows doesn't count.
02:22I can manage.
02:23And you won't worry about working flat out all the time.
02:25Siegfried means well.
02:26He's just anxious about the future of the practice.
02:28Yet there won't be a practice if you're all jiggered.
02:30True.
02:31Anyway, better get on.
02:33Who's got my status?
02:34Mrs Potter.
02:36Shall we go and see her together?
02:38Here we go.
02:40Oh, and also I bumped into Irene Sparrow way over.
02:44She's bringing a dog round to show you.
02:46No rest for the wicked.
02:47Well they should get to stay here a bit longer.
02:49Every cloud.
02:52Here.
02:55Come on, Rosie Posey.
03:02Claws all trimmed to perfection. Best of luck in the show, Mrs Fawcett.
03:06You are a marvel, love.
03:08Sit down.
03:09Well done.
03:10In spite of your disappearing act earlier, I think this morning we actually hit a new peak.
03:14My blood pressure certainly did.
03:16Must you be so dramatic?
03:17You don't seriously think we can keep this up?
03:20What sort of attitude is that?
03:21A sane one.
03:22You know, if I were partner...
03:24Which you're not.
03:25Well if I were, I wouldn't be scared by the likes of Granville Bennett.
03:28Who said anything about Granville Bennett?
03:30I'm merely extending our surgery hours and welcoming in more clients.
03:33If that happens to stop them seeking treatment elsewhere, so be it.
03:37My bird's lost his chirp.
03:39I'm too late for the surgery.
03:40No.
03:41Please take a seat.
03:42He'll be with you presently.
03:42Sorry, no.
03:43I'm going to the manor.
03:44Your social life can wait until James gets back.
03:47Oh, right.
03:47Well I'll just tell the general that a parrot trance is thoroughbred mare.
03:50Shall I?
03:51Fine.
03:52That were Mrs Lunn.
03:53She says her whip it's no better.
03:55So she's bringing him in for the operation you said he might need.
03:57When?
03:57Now.
03:58Right.
03:58I can put her off if you're too busy.
04:00But you did say not to send anyone away.
04:02I did.
04:02No need.
04:03The more the merrier.
04:15It's a papilloma, Mrs Sparrow.
04:16A wart, essentially.
04:18Nothing to be concerned about and it's not causing him any pain.
04:20Told you they weren't out to worry about.
04:23Oh, thank goodness.
04:25Only I have been fretting.
04:26Well, the best plan would be to remove it, but the snout is a delicate area.
04:29There are a lot of blood vessels and arteries that could prove tricky if we were to operate.
04:34I'll tell you what, bring him into the surgery when you get a chance.
04:36We'll take a proper look at him now.
04:38Oh, thank you.
05:08This seems to be their favourite haunt.
05:10I've been putting food out for weeks, but they're still so nervous so it might take a
05:13while to coax them out.
05:15Is it just the two of them?
05:16Their mother came first by herself.
05:18Then she appeared with two kittens.
05:21One day she left and hasn't been seen since.
05:24Perhaps she's chosen me to take care of them.
05:27Well, you do have a knack for looking after skittish creatures.
05:32Look, we have company.
05:34The ginger one is Ginny, and that's Ollie.
05:37The black and white one.
05:40Named after my elder siblings because they fight like cat and cat.
05:45Not much of an appetite by the looks of these.
05:47Normally they can't get enough, that's what worries me.
05:50Could be the sign of feline flu.
05:53It can put them off their food.
05:55Poor things.
05:57Anything you can do?
05:58Yes, but I'll need to catch them.
06:00Take a closer look.
06:08I imagine that's going to be quite challenging if they've never been handled.
06:12Yes.
06:14Luckily, you have a professional to help.
06:20This is ridiculous.
06:22We look like some dreadful music hall act.
06:24You've been feeding them.
06:25You're the more familiar.
06:26Makes sense for you to approach and me to jump out and grab them.
06:29If you insist.
06:33Right, on the count of three.
06:35One.
06:36One.
06:36Two.
06:37Three.
06:38Three.
06:39Yeah!
06:56There she is.
07:13Hello, Oliver darling.
07:14How did you manage that?
07:16Cupboard love, I expect.
07:17He must be famished.
07:18Well, Ginny's a much tougher customer.
07:21I'm a human pincushion.
07:22She must be starving too.
07:24Maybe we could tempt her with something too delicious to resist.
07:27She's rather partial to fish.
07:29Hmm.
07:29Even better.
07:30I'll put a sedative in it.
07:31Good thinking.
07:32Why work harder than you have to?
07:35Well, I'm very excited and I'm absolutely starving.
07:39Starving, I tell you.
07:39I'd be on parts, Mrs Hall, if you wouldn't mind putting the kettle on.
07:43Oh, hello.
07:43Hello.
07:44I can't stop, I'm afraid.
07:45I'm struck to whip it.
07:46Should I hang on then?
07:48Four.
07:49You said you'd book a table somewhere nice since we had to postpone the last one.
07:54Ah.
07:55You forgot.
07:56No, no.
07:57God, no.
07:57Of course not.
07:58Tristan was called away on an emergency and I was forced to step into the breach here.
08:03I don't suppose you'd mind waiting.
08:05Well, I haven't got all, do you?
08:07But you won't be too long.
08:08Marvellous.
08:11I'll bring you a pot through.
08:13Stand it, stand it.
08:17Okay.
08:18It does appear to be the flu.
08:20Oh.
08:21So I'm going to have to take them back to the surgery.
08:24Some decongestant powders and fluids should help.
08:27I know they can be a handful, but I do love cats.
08:29Such strong personalities.
08:31Give me a dog any day.
08:33Alright, what about dog versus horse?
08:35Dog.
08:36Dangerous talk, Captain Farnham.
08:38I stand by it.
08:42I shall miss this.
08:43Oh, don't worry.
08:44I'm going to put my foot down with Siegfried.
08:46You might have to pine for me for too much longer.
08:49There might be some pining, I'm afraid.
08:53I have some news.
08:55Go on.
08:57Well, you know my time in Italy was cut short and I've been quite restless here ever since.
09:03I do.
09:05I've been rattling around this mausoleum of a house, trying my best to be of use to daddy,
09:11all the while feeling like I don't quite fit anymore.
09:13I'm familiar with that feeling.
09:16I know.
09:17Any idea where you might fit?
09:19I've been the foggiest.
09:21I've been the foggiest.
09:21But I don't suppose I shall find out if I stay put.
09:25You're leaving?
09:26Not for long.
09:28My sister Ginny and her husband Hector are moving to New York.
09:31They've asked me to join them for a few months to help Ginny get settled and explore what's
09:35out there.
09:37I shall miss you.
09:38Terribly, of course.
09:42Sounds like a wonderful opportunity.
09:45And exactly what you need.
09:48See?
09:49This is why I love you.
09:51I knew you'd understand.
10:12I thought you'd been to see the General's horse.
10:14Actually, it was Kat's.
10:16Right.
10:17He did say to take any job that crops up.
10:20Yes, Jolly Goat, carry on then.
10:27Is everything right?
10:31Charlotte's going to New York.
10:32Don't tell me you've messed it up.
10:33No.
10:34No.
10:35Only for a few months.
10:36Well, there you are then.
10:37Why the long face?
10:39You want her to stay?
10:41Ideally, yes.
10:42Have you told her that?
10:43Of course not.
10:43Well, you must.
10:44Stop her going.
10:45Wouldn't that be unfair?
10:47I'll tell you what would be unfair.
10:48Charlotte's swept off her feet by some American cad.
10:52So glad we had this talk.
10:53I do wish you'd listen to me occasionally, Tristan.
10:55I do know a thing or two about life.
10:57Because you're such an expert on matters of the heart.
10:59My instincts are often correct, yes.
11:01Yes.
11:02Hmm.
11:02Then why is Dorothy waiting in the scullery?
11:05Dorothy, down on blood!
11:06There we go.
11:11She left about an hour ago.
11:16I was wondering when you might notice.
11:47That's Granville's car.
11:48James!
11:53Oh, he's getting hit.
11:55Now say hello.
11:58You stay there, Rosie.
12:00Fancy running into you.
12:01What again, Granville?
12:03My wife, Zoe.
12:04Pleasure.
12:05And this must be the fair Helen.
12:07How do you do?
12:07Glad to meet you.
12:08What have you heard about a waterfall?
12:10Perfect for swimming.
12:10I haven't missed the turning, have we?
12:12Keep going until you get to Ben, then you take the first track on your left.
12:14Champion.
12:15Where are you headed?
12:16Back to work.
12:17He's dedicated this one.
12:19You should come around to us sometime.
12:21For a drink.
12:21Back to eat.
12:22Sounds lovely.
12:23Definitely.
12:23How about tomorrow afternoon?
12:25We're quite hectic.
12:26All the more reason to let your hair down.
12:29We'd need to find someone to man the kids.
12:30I'll take that as a yes.
12:32Willow House, Lower Broughton, one o'clock.
12:37And come hungry, we'll cook you up a treat.
12:42Please.
12:52Finish it off.
12:52I'm stressed.
12:58The papilloma is the size of a pea.
12:59But it's the position that's awkward, on his snout.
13:02Wouldn't want to hit an artery.
13:04That's what I thought.
13:05And why are you telling me this?
13:06I told Mrs Sparrow to bring him in.
13:09If that happens to be tomorrow, I might not be here.
13:11Because I'll need the afternoon off.
13:13What's the occasion?
13:14You can't begrudging one afternoon.
13:16Well...
13:16We're all used to hard work, Siegfried, but there is a limit.
13:18I don't suppose Dorothy's turned up, has she?
13:21I telephoned her, but she wasn't at home.
13:23Oh, well, if only I hadn't been too busy to spoil her.
13:26All right.
13:27I'm more than aware the current approach is unpopular.
13:30But was Granville Bennett gallivanting off for a leisurely lunch today?
13:33I highly doubt it.
13:34He went swimming, actually.
13:35We saw him and his wife gallivanting off to the waterfall for the afternoon.
13:38And they've invited us around for lunch tomorrow.
13:39That's where we're going.
13:40You're taking time off to fraternise with the competition?
13:43To get to know a fellow vet?
13:45Well, I suppose you can sniff out what his plans are, at least.
13:47He doesn't need to sniff anything out.
13:49Granville is clearly far too busy enjoying life to worry about the competition.
13:54All the more reason for us to push ahead.
13:56Seize the advantage while we can.
13:58Take tomorrow off if you must.
14:00I'll happily cover the weekend.
14:02But we press on as usual on Monday.
14:23Don't ask.
14:25Since you're taking the reins tomorrow, any chance you can watch the children?
14:28Mrs. H is busy and Jimmy asked for you especially.
14:31Well, I have been meaning to give him a tutorial on microscopy.
14:34I don't see why not.
14:35Great.
14:59I've come to the conclusion you wouldn't be this morose if you weren't madly in love.
15:02Ha!
15:02Ha!
15:06Ha!
15:07Ha!
15:09Ha!
15:10Ha!
15:26Ha!
15:33You know, Evelyn and I didn't have the smoothest path to begin with.
15:39Well, I always thought it was love at first sight.
15:40Well, yes, it was.
15:43I was very uncertain about marriage.
15:47Couldn't quite convince myself she was willing to commit to a lifetime of me.
15:53So I held back.
15:55Almost missed my chance entirely.
16:00So what changed?
16:04My fear of losing her outweighed my fear of rejection.
16:12Sometimes you have to take a risk.
16:18And I'm so very glad I did.
16:28May I offer you some advice?
16:31It would be jealous to refuse, I suppose.
16:36Don't take Dorothea for granted.
16:51Here we go.
17:03Tristan thinks I'm taking Dorothea for granted.
17:07He's wrong, of course.
17:09I mean, she's here so often.
17:12I've become accustomed to her presence.
17:15When I'm working, I get absorbed with the task in hand.
17:19She knows that.
17:21All she had to do was give me a nudge.
17:25You're saying it's her fault?
17:26You forgot she were waiting for you?
17:30No.
17:30No, of course not.
17:31I'm just explaining my side of things.
17:34I wouldn't do that if she goes back.
17:36If?
17:38She had every right to be upset.
17:41She'd have to run off without a word.
17:42When it's not just today.
17:44You've given her the run around a few times lately.
17:47Not deliberately.
17:49It's been all hands on deck with the practice I've been modernising,
17:53striving to push things forward.
17:54Maybe so.
17:56But it's not an excuse to neglect, my friend.
17:59I assure you, it was never my intention.
18:07You're right, of course.
18:10I'll speak to her.
18:19Good morning, Christopher.
18:21Morning, Mrs Hall.
18:22About to have a couple of your ginger beers?
18:24Right, you are.
18:27Thanks, love.
18:27My pleasure.
18:28Right, you have a good day now.
18:29You two.
18:30Cheerio.
18:30Help.
18:34All done.
18:37I hope she likes it.
18:40You're an angel, Mrs H.
19:06I will have any trouble in any games.
19:18Twrest.
19:19No, it's hercs.
19:25Finally, we are a bullον.
19:25Good morning!fourth.
19:53Both cats are doing well.
19:56Ginny's a feisty one. Definitely wild.
19:58Oh, without a doubt.
20:02How long till they come home?
20:04Another day or so.
20:05Well, I've made them a nest in the tack room.
20:07I know they like to roam, but I hate to think of the mountain, the elements all the time.
20:10It's worth a try.
20:12What now? Back to the grindstone?
20:13Not today. I was hoping I could steal you away for lunch.
20:19So that's why you look so smart.
20:21Let me get changed quickly and I'll be all yours.
20:29You were quite right, James. It doesn't need doing.
20:32For now, I'd say leave well alone.
20:34I told Mrs. Sparrow we'd hand him back today.
20:36But we're going out.
20:38Excellent. You can kill two birds with one stone.
20:39And where are you after?
20:41Oh, an urgent personal matter has come up.
20:43But you said you'd step in here and watch the kids for us.
20:46You know, James, I've been giving your argument some serious thought.
20:48You're not wrong.
20:50Work does need to take a back seat sometimes.
20:52This is one of those times.
20:53Did you have to have that epiphany at this precise moment?
20:56I'm afraid so.
20:57And who's on call?
20:59I'm sure Tristan would be delighted to volunteer.
21:27My sincerest apologies.
21:31Actions speak louder than words.
21:34I thought perhaps we could spend the afternoon together.
21:37If you could give me a chance to make it up to you.
21:40Now it's convenient.
21:42Or another time.
21:44Whatever's best.
21:48Our plans did slip my mind.
21:50And I'm very sorry about that.
21:53You could have just said so.
21:55There's no need to make silly excuses.
21:57I didn't want to disappoint you.
21:59And so, of course, I disappointed you.
22:04I was only put out because I was looking forward to it.
22:07So was I.
22:08Very much.
22:10I've treated you terribly.
22:12Yet again.
22:14If this were to change things between us,
22:16I would never forgive myself.
22:24I suppose another chance wouldn't hurt.
22:32This looks delectable.
22:34Wish I told you about my trip sooner.
22:38I hope this wasn't all a ruse for preferential treatment.
22:41Sadly not.
22:42Then we'll just have to make the most of what time we have left.
22:45I'm not going for a while yet.
22:48But when I do go, it'll fly by.
22:50I'll be home before you know it.
22:53Then maybe we should talk about what happens.
22:55When you do.
22:57What our future might hold.
23:00Captain Farnham.
23:02Mr Herriot's on telephone for you.
23:17I took the liberty of booking a table at the Reniston.
23:19I hope that suits.
23:22It'll do.
23:24Sorry.
23:25Again.
23:26You're all right.
23:27You've had a lot on with the practice.
23:30True.
23:31But from now on, I'm putting you first.
23:35Glad to hear it.
23:39Good God, what's that?
23:57It's a bar now.
24:00Female, I think.
24:02You can tell...
24:03By their feathers.
24:03They're a darker colour.
24:05My father was a keen birdwatcher.
24:08So is mine.
24:11Surely she should have flown off as soon as she saw us.
24:14All right, my friend.
24:16All right.
24:24All right.
24:29All right.
24:34There's no sign of any broken bones or dislocations.
24:41The bill's fine.
24:43Keel feels normal.
24:48No wing damage.
24:53No blood in the ears.
24:54Chances are she's been clipped, not hit outright.
24:57Will she survive?
24:59She's trembling, which means she's stunned.
25:01She might still laugh from the shock.
25:03Surely there's something we can do.
25:05We can put her in a dark, calm place to recover and hope for the best.
25:09There's a cardboard box in the car.
25:11Would you bring it to me?
25:20You go in.
25:21I won't be long.
25:22All right.
25:23Oh, here they are.
25:25We almost sent out a search party.
25:27Oh, I'm sorry we're late.
25:28We had a runaway childminder.
25:30Oh, what a handsome fella.
25:32Now, patient.
25:32I just need to run him home quickly.
25:34Don't be daft.
25:34Bring him in.
25:35You wouldn't mind?
25:36Of course not.
25:37The more the merrier.
25:39That's it.
25:40Lead the way to the pub, Granville.
25:50I thought it might be nice to have a little watering hole in my garden.
25:54Oh, goodness.
25:55Cozy, isn't it?
25:56This is the life.
25:57We like to think so.
25:59Make yourselves at home.
26:01I will sell up some drinks.
26:10Oh, that's quite the papilloma you've got there.
26:13Yeah, I thought about removing it, but I decided to leave it be.
26:16How come?
26:16With the position, mostly.
26:18Shouldn't be too difficult.
26:20You don't think it's too close to the infraorbital artery?
26:22Possibly.
26:24Still worth a try.
26:25Since it's not troubling him, I...
26:26Excuse me.
26:29We did say come hungry.
26:30I did indeed.
26:32But a slight change of plan.
26:33I thought we might pop over to our new favourite restaurant.
26:36It's a bit of a drive, but the food is spectacular.
26:39Perfect.
26:40That sounds lovely.
26:42I just helped Zoe with the drinks.
26:50I'm so sorry you've been rubbed into this.
26:52Gosh, yes, because it's such a hardship having to play with children all afternoon.
26:56Uncle Tris, Uncle Tris, can we play Tarzan?
26:59Yeah, or, even better idea, we could read one of your books as quietly as we can.
27:06What was that?
27:14I was only trying to tame them.
27:18How on earth did you manage to get them from the shed on your own?
27:25Fish paste.
27:28It's inspired.
27:30Look at what a mess they've made.
27:32It's not their fault.
27:34No, it's not.
27:35It's the first time they've been inside.
27:37Sorry.
27:41Cats are their own masters, Jimmy.
27:44Especially these ones.
27:45They've grown up in the wild.
27:46You can't expect them to go against their natural instincts.
27:49Even if I really like them.
27:51Even then.
27:53Especially then.
27:54I wish I could be more like a cat, never having to do what I'm told.
28:00Yeah, I think we all do, Jimmy.
28:09Cheers.
28:10Cheers.
28:10Cheers.
28:13Goodness, that's got a kick.
28:15Nonsense, man.
28:16Barely any gin in there.
28:18Mostly tonic.
28:19Are you all settled in now after you move?
28:21Finally.
28:22It's taken forever.
28:23Would you like a tour?
28:25We've just had a new refrigerator fitted.
28:29Why not?
28:30You know, I've whipped a million of these papillomas off, James.
28:33I'm sure it'll be fine.
28:34I can do it now, if you like.
28:36He tends to do this, sorry.
28:38You want to take him to the surgery now?
28:39God, no.
28:41Well, pop him on the bar and do it right here.
28:46You must be feeling better by now.
28:49I mean, you really made light work on my picnic, didn't you?
28:59There we go.
29:02Right.
29:04How are you doing, little man?
29:06Hello.
29:08Oh, your eyes are brighter.
29:12Breathing sounds clear.
29:14Not long till freedom now.
29:17I can't really blame Jimmy, can I?
29:21I'll be sad to see you go myself.
29:26Not thirty paces crouched Sabre, the huge lioness lashing her tail.
29:30Cautiously, she moved a great padded paw forward,
29:33noiselessly placing it before she lifted the next.
29:35Thus she advanced, her belly low,
29:37almost touching the surface of the ground,
29:39a great cat preparing to spring upon its prey.
29:42No longer the tail lashed, quiet and straight,
29:44behind her it lay.
29:45An instant she paused thus, as though turned to stone,
29:48and then, with an awful scream,
29:50she sprang!
29:54Sabre, the lioness, was a wise hunter.
29:57To one less wise,
29:58the wild alarm of her fierce cries she sprang
30:00would have seemed a foolish thing.
30:01She could not more surely have fallen upon her face.
30:04Quiet.
30:16There we are.
30:17Let's just stop any bleeding.
30:19Nicely done.
30:19You did the hard part.
30:21Exceptional work, Granville.
30:22Sounds like heels, you'll never know it was there.
30:23It was very much a team effort.
30:25It's good to be cautious with intricate procedures,
30:28but practice makes perfect.
30:30He would never.
30:31Now then, did she show you the fridge?
30:33She did indeed.
30:34What do you reckon to it?
30:35Big and cold.
30:36Great.
30:37We bought something to nibble on,
30:38since Granville seems intent on starving us.
30:41Whoa.
30:43Butterfingers.
30:44Look at that.
30:45Greedy guts.
30:46Proof the procedure was a success, I suppose.
30:49Absolutely.
30:50Right, are we off to this restaurant then?
30:52Sure, sure.
30:53But first, let's raise a glass to happy's good health.
30:56I've got just the bottle somewhere.
30:57Lovely vintage.
30:58Bear with us a tick.
31:12Oh, I could throttle Siegfried.
31:14Not on my account.
31:15I've thoroughly enjoyed myself.
31:17I'm sensing you may have been a tomboy.
31:19Through and through.
31:20Climbed every tree in Hampshire.
31:22Explains why you're a natural, Jimmy.
31:25You're such a darling, it's easy.
31:28Was there something you wanted to tell me earlier,
31:31before we were interrupted?
31:33I told Siegfried about your trip.
31:36He put the wind up me about you running off with some American scoundrel.
31:43So, I was thinking that I might...
31:51To tell you the truth, I almost proposed.
31:56Tristan, I...
31:57We've been together for quite a while.
31:59I probably should have asked you already.
32:02I want to.
32:04A lot.
32:06Because I love you.
32:12But something keeps telling me it's not that simple.
32:16It wouldn't be fair to try to hold you back
32:18just because it would suit me better if he stayed.
32:24So, just to clarify, you aren't proposing?
32:29No.
32:30I love you too.
32:32Desperately.
32:33But we can't settle down now.
32:35We've only just got our freedom back.
32:37I know.
32:38We've missed out on so much.
32:39Exactly.
32:41Far too many adventures to be had first.
32:43But I promise you I have no plans to run off with any scoundrels.
32:48It's not you I want to leave, Tristan.
32:51I know that.
32:53You need to find where you fit in.
32:56You don't have to promise me anything.
33:05When did you last sit still for this long?
33:09Not sure I can remember.
33:12My Ron was nothing like you.
33:14He did everything at a snail's pace.
33:17Always putting things off,
33:18insisting he had time to catch up with himself.
33:22Turns out he didn't.
33:26After Evelyn,
33:29my work was a welcome distraction.
33:32Without it, I'm not sure.
33:34What would it become of me?
33:36I'm sorry.
33:37Oh, it's a long time ago.
33:38But you never slowed down.
33:43I had no reason to.
33:46Until now.
33:52It's easy to give up hope.
33:55That someone else might come along.
33:59He's willing to accept us
34:02as we are now.
34:04Older.
34:05Wiser.
34:06Slightly bruised.
34:10Would take someone quite special, wouldn't it?
34:13Someone with a good heart.
34:16Even though they try to keep it hidden.
34:19Passionate.
34:21Kind.
34:23Prone to absent-mindedness.
34:27Someone not afraid to put one in one's place.
34:30When necessary.
34:33With an insatiable appetite for fun and questionable taste in music.
34:39We got lucky, didn't we?
34:42Be ashamed to forget that.
34:44As I say, I fully intend to reassess my priorities.
34:48Good.
34:49Because if we're going to have a future together, I won't be an afterthought.
34:53I won't be an afterthought.
34:54You never were.
34:58Look.
34:58Oh.
35:01Isn't she beautiful?
35:05You're not an afterthought, I promise.
35:09Quite the opposite.
35:12I would like us to have a future together.
35:15Very much.
35:17If you were able to give me another chance to prove that to you,
35:25I'd be extremely grateful.
35:29Dorothy, would you consider making things between us more permanent?
35:36Would you give me the honour of becoming my wife?
35:52How come they didn't feed you?
35:54Well, we were promised lunch.
35:57But only got gin and half sausage roll.
36:00We managed to get them to the restaurant in the end.
36:02But it would closed.
36:04Well, I'm so thrilled my sacrifice was worth it.
36:07Sorry, Triss.
36:08It won't happen again.
36:09Oh, no, no.
36:10I don't blame you.
36:10It was our illustrious leader's fault.
36:13Any idea where he vanished off to?
36:15I'm not sure.
36:16My gallant crew, good morning.
36:19Sir, good morning.
36:21How the devil are we?
36:22Worn out.
36:23After an unexpected spot of babysitting.
36:25We've certainly been better.
36:28You doing a bunk wasn't ideal.
36:29No, I expect it wasn't.
36:31I didn't mean to leave you all in the lurch, but it was a dire emergency.
36:35Whatever happened?
36:36I went to smooth things over with Dorothy.
36:38You were both right.
36:39I've neglected her.
36:40So is that it?
36:42Will you encourage me to build bridges?
36:43Yes, not at the most inconvenient moment possible.
36:46Sometimes love is inconvenient.
36:48Very poetic.
36:50Anyway, I will, of course, cover all calls today as penance.
36:54And I've seen the error of my ways.
36:56There's more to life than work, after all.
36:58Hallelujah.
37:00And is Dorothy all right?
37:02She's perfectly fine, yes.
37:03Are you sure about that?
37:04Well, I doubt she would have accepted my offer of marriage if she wasn't.
37:08But what?
37:10Are you serious?
37:11I can't believe it either, but yes.
37:14Dorothy and I are engaged to be married.
37:16Siegfried!
37:17You dark old horse!
37:19Congratulations!
37:20Congratulations, Siegfried.
37:22Good for you, Siegfried.
37:23You're a lucky man.
37:25That was lovely.
37:28Congratulations, Mr. Farnham.
37:31Wonderful news.
37:44Well, recovery.
37:46Oh.
37:47Fighting fit.
37:48Excellent.
37:51Excellent.
37:58You should, uh, probably have this back.
38:01Oh, not necessary.
38:03My news changes nothing.
38:04I won't be needing it.
38:05She said no.
38:06I didn't actually ask.
38:08I'm sorry to hear that.
38:10No, don't be.
38:12She's so excited.
38:14And I'm happy for her.
38:17As it's only a few months, I'll survive.
38:20Keep it.
38:21You'll never know when the right opportunity might crop up.
38:27Well, apparently so.
38:29I have to admit, I thought it might have been curtains for you and Dorothy.
38:32So did I.
38:33Yeah.
38:33With everything so busy, it's been difficult to give her the attention she deserves.
38:37Living under the same roof will certainly make it easier.
38:40How pragmatic.
38:41And we can't all moon about in the first flush of love like you, Tristan.
38:45In later life, one has to make sensible decisions.
38:49As long as you're happy, I am.
38:51We are.
38:53Ecstatic.
39:00Sorry we didn't bring him back last night.
39:02We were slightly held up.
39:03Oh, that's all right.
39:05We removed the papilloma and it's healing nicely.
39:07If you keep the area as clean as you can, there shouldn't be any complications.
39:10Oh, look at him.
39:12You can tell he's pleased as punch.
39:13It's gone.
39:15Yeah, he's clearly cock-a-hoop.
39:18Happy's his old self again.
39:20Thank you both.
39:22Bye now.
39:23Come on, you.
39:26A happy customer.
39:27Thanks to Granville.
39:29And you should have seen his dexterity taking off.
39:31It was incredible.
39:33I understand it now, how he's done so well for himself.
39:36He's done all right, but he had a head start.
39:39There's no need to compare yourself.
39:41I can't deny I'd love to give you everything they have.
39:43But it's his attitude I was most impressed with.
39:45He had complete confidence over his abilities.
39:48You're just as good as him.
39:50Wouldn't hurt to take a leaf out of his bit, though.
39:58Um, in all the excitement I forgot to mention, I'd invited Dorothy to join us for lunch.
40:01I hope that's all right.
40:02Of course.
40:04I thought she might be coming.
40:07Also, I should thank you.
40:09For your advice.
40:11Oh, I wouldn't call it advice.
40:13Much needed home truths, then.
40:15I only said you shouldn't neglect her.
40:18And help me see what's been staring me in the face.
40:21Knock, knock!
40:23Here she is, the woman of the hour!
40:26Congratulations, Dorothy.
40:27Thought my ears were burning.
40:29Who's told you then?
40:30I'm over the moon for you both.
40:32Thank you, Odd.
40:33My head's still spinning, but I'm thrilled to be.
40:37Now, you must let me give you a hand with something.
40:39No, no, you two go and get settled.
40:41I'll join you for a sherry.
40:43Since we're celebrating.
40:46After you.
40:53Right, you two.
40:54There's food and shelter here.
40:55Take it or leave it.
40:57Ginny is a fickle one.
41:00It's all right, only old chap.
41:02Still got us.
41:05Captain Farnon, have you fallen in love with a cat?
41:08That's a little strong.
41:10Though I might keep an eye out while you're away.
41:13I knew you'd see the light.
41:14He is a very charming cat.
41:19Speaking of me going, I've been giving it some thought.
41:21You should come out to visit.
41:23That sounds like a wonderful idea.
41:26But I think I might have had my fill of adventures for a little while.
41:32Of course.
41:34That makes perfect sense.
41:36My time away was cut short, yours wasn't.
41:40But you must write.
41:42I intend to live vicariously through you.
41:45I will.
41:47Good.
41:49Who?
41:50Oh, great.
41:51Now he's abandoning me, too.
41:53He'll come back when he's hungry.
41:56Wait.
41:57Who does that remind me of?
42:00Are you comparing me to a grumpy, feral cat?
42:03No.
42:04To a handsome wild creature with a big heart and the kindest nature.
42:08Well saved.
42:12Oh, my God.
42:15Oh, my God.
42:18Oh, my God.
42:20Oh, my God.
42:21Oh, my God.
42:21Oh, my God.
42:21Oh, my God.
42:21Oh, my God.
42:21Oh, my God.
