00:00This is Horus.
00:19You can't hide forever.
00:24Frank, get down.
00:28Frank.
00:29The people of Larkrise and Candlesford loved to dwell on their differences.
00:35But the two communities had at least one thing in common.
00:40They were hopeless places to keep a secret.
00:50Go, go!
00:52Run, run!
00:53Run, run!
00:54If there is one steadfast law, it's this.
01:00The harder people sought to hide the truth, the more painful the discovery.
01:06The harder people sought to hide the truth, the more painful the history.
01:42Look at this face.
01:56You study it hard.
01:58Because the next time you see this face, I'll be here to cart your ma up to debtor's prison for non-payment of arrears.
02:07Birkinshaw and Flagstaff creditors is terrible when raised.
02:13And we've all had enough of our excuses.
02:17You made short work of him, young Lizzie.
02:21He'll be back.
02:22Mrs. Arliss, you're in luck.
02:34The letter for you arrived today.
02:37Postmark crackers.
02:39Crackers?
02:39That's him.
02:41Proper man of the world.
02:42What's he got for me?
02:43He sends his love to you and the family.
02:59And he can't wait to get back home soon.
03:03He hopes the baby's faring well.
03:08And you, of course.
03:09I asked you to read my Walter's words, not your own, smart as they are.
03:25That bit there.
03:25Read that bit.
03:26I have a new captain aboard ship who's taken his two charming daughters across the Pacific.
03:36He'll write soon.
03:37So, in simple terms, for a simple folk like me, he ain't coming home.
03:43He ain't got a penny for his family or his wife or his unborn child.
03:46No, because he's too busy, isn't he?
03:48With the cats in and his two charming daughters.
03:51I'm sure Mr. Arl has meant nothing by it.
03:55I don't know.
03:55The fellow seems in no hurry to return.
04:00Oh!
04:01We're underway.
04:03Special guests still over at the stores.
04:05Dressed from Paris.
04:07You might want to take a peek.
04:12Come on, let's get to the park!
04:13Come on!
04:14Let's get to the park!
04:15I want to see!
04:16Come on, come on!
04:18Look at that.
04:20Aity-tighty.
04:21Take it out in the street.
04:30No!
04:34Bless me.
04:36It's hardly a stitch on.
04:38Oh, I fell.
04:39Oh, I can't better look.
04:42Come on.
04:44Oh, come on.
04:45Oh, can we have a lot in here?
04:49Here, here.
04:51Oh, can we have a lot in here?
04:55Whoa, whoa, whoa!
04:57Here.
05:00Who are those ladies?
05:03Prats.
05:04Pearl and Ruby.
05:06Pearl and Ruby.
05:08Jewels without price, I'm sure.
05:10Do you have a lot in here?
05:17Oh!
05:18Oh!
05:19Oh!
05:22Oh!
05:23Wow, that's all that.
05:24I'm not sure.
05:25I'm sure I'm sure you're here.
05:26Oh!
05:26Yeah!
05:32Here, then.
05:32Come on, then. What are you waiting for?
05:35What about Miss Lane?
05:37Miss Lane can go and hang for once, can't she? Come on.
05:45What was I thinking?
05:55Bunch of clouds.
05:57They probably escaped from Mr. Barnum's circus.
06:00Oh, oi, oi, oi, oi.
06:06Laura?
06:08Laura?
06:09Ma'am?
06:10Congratulations. Shambolic as ever.
06:12What were you thinking of?
06:17Ruby?
06:20Oh.
06:22Oh.
06:24Oh.
06:25Oh.
06:26Oh.
06:27Oh.
06:28Oh.
06:29Oh.
06:30Oh.
06:31Oh.
06:32I just...
06:33I saw...
06:35What?
06:36I...
06:37I saw...
06:41A ghost?
06:42Come on, through here.
06:43That's all.
06:44Yeah.
06:45We'll get you sat down.
06:46Nice rest, eh?
06:48Yeah.
06:49I found him in the woods, ma'am.
06:53Who is he?
06:54Trooper Ashler at your service, ma'am.
06:59Look at me, look.
07:02Soaked to the bone.
07:05Still, you have a splendid blaze going.
07:08I shall be warming her twice, just as soon as I get out of these wet clothes.
07:14That's enough, Matthew.
07:15Cover him up, heavens.
07:16Uh, sir.
07:17Sir.
07:18Sir.
07:19Turn us in the...
07:20No, no, no, no.
07:21Table class.
07:22It's enough of that, sir.
07:23He's lost his wits, poor fellow.
07:25What is this place?
07:29Candleford.
07:30You're quite safe.
07:32Zilla, fetch Dr Ingram's.
07:34No, no.
07:35No need for that.
07:37Just one of my turns.
07:40Better now.
07:44Coming in here like a wild dog, frightening you after death.
07:47Are you hungry, Mr Ashlow?
07:49Well, perhaps a piece of that chicken.
08:03I'm not the man I was, you see.
08:06Not since I had my brains half knocked out one of the bloody fields of Sebastopol.
08:13Phil.
08:16Best look sharp.
08:18I swore I wouldn't rest till I found my missing girls.
08:23I thought I might be living here, but it seems I was mistaken.
08:29Time I hit the road.
08:30You're not going anywhere till you're rested.
08:33Ah.
08:34Went better now.
08:36There, see.
08:38Restoration's complete.
08:39Oh, Eric.
08:41Come here, sir.
08:42Come here.
08:43Come here.
08:48.
08:49Come here he is.
08:52Come here.
08:54Come here.
08:56Come here.
08:57What are you seeing, little chicken?
09:09Back to school this minute.
09:11I ain't yours.
09:12Oh, and you'd know that, would you?
09:14Go on.
09:15Those Sarah's Hamlet folk look all the same to you.
09:18Yeah.
09:27He means it this time.
09:31Listen to me.
09:31He says he won't shift from the door till the job's done.
09:35Oh, he's old talk.
09:38You heard what Sir Timothy said in the courthouse.
09:42Them big companies got no business meddling in the affairs of poor ignorant women.
09:46I don't think that's what he meant, is it?
09:50Tell me, how much do you owe?
09:55Five guineas, give her to me.
09:56Five guineas.
09:58Oh, Caroline.
10:00I'm just in need of a bit of cheering up, that's all.
10:04Don't look at me like that, Emma.
10:06You'll have me half dead with fright.
10:08I'm sorry.
10:10It might be best if you lie low for a bit.
10:14Is this somewhere you can go?
10:23Oh, no, sir.
10:24I won't take your money.
10:26This one's on the house.
10:30You're a very good elf, sir.
10:32That mug.
10:33What about that mug?
10:35I saw one just like you'd stand up in the yard.
10:38I've seen it all, I said to Queenie.
10:39What's Paxton's pony doing, pizzling into a fine old mug like that?
10:46What?
10:47What's funny?
10:54You tell your ma, this stuff will taste like fine as burgundy wine where she's going.
11:00Prison ain't pretty for anyone, but it's hard as of all under women.
11:06such gross indecencies.
11:08I've seen women crawl into their own coffins just for their comfort.
11:16gentlemen.
11:17I'm sorry, I'm late.
11:19I'm sorry, I'm late.
11:20At last, the cavalry, hold this spoon.
11:21Look at you, flower.
11:22Very spit of my roofing.
11:24Who's...
11:25My youngest girl?
11:26Mr Ashlow is our guest for a day or two until he gets his strength back.
11:31What are those?
11:32Calf's feed.
11:33You can't make wine jelly without calf's feed.
11:37Shall I fetch the port wine, ma'am?
11:38Thomas, I know my wine jelly is a particular favourite of yours.
11:41So sweet and delicious it would almost raise the dead.
11:44And I haven't forgotten last year's sorrel episode.
11:46Master Thomas come back from his round, tired and angry,
11:49and finally, I'm sorry.
11:50I'm sorry.
11:51I'm sorry.
11:52I'm sorry.
11:53I'm sorry.
11:54I'm sorry.
11:55I'm sorry.
11:56I'm sorry.
11:57I'm sorry.
11:58I'm sorry.
11:59I'm sorry.
12:00I'm sorry.
12:01I'm sorry.
12:02I'm sorry.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:04I'm sorry.
12:05You can't go around tired and hungry and find the whole lot gone.
12:08All my fault.
12:09I thought he'd already had his share.
12:11I scarcely recall the incident.
12:13His poor little face.
12:14I cried myself that day.
12:16All highly exaggerated.
12:18But rest assured, this time you will be the first to sample the wine jelly.
12:22You have my word.
12:23Very well, ma'am.
12:25Wine jelly?
12:26Is that what you're up to?
12:27Not since I were a lad down in Eastmere have I tasted a dish so divine.
12:32Well, it's not the quickest recipe, I grant you, but worth the wait.
12:35Perhaps we can tempt you to stay until it's served.
12:38Perhaps you can.
12:39Uh, Matthew, Thomas, would you see Mr Ashlow to the forge?
12:44Are you sure you won't accept more comfortable lodgings?
12:47A bed of straw is good enough for Arthur Ashlow.
12:50Sir, where did you say you was from?
12:53Eastmere.
12:55And you're missing girls.
12:57What were they called?
12:59Ruth.
13:00Ruth and Prudence.
13:02Such pretty names.
13:03Is it the lead, Mr Ashlow?
13:04Oh, Laura, I'm afraid you missed your father earlier.
13:09Oh.
13:10I didn't see him.
13:13No, well, he left something for you.
13:16Over there.
13:17To go with your lion's head, I think.
13:24Keep this up.
13:25You'll soon have a full menagerie.
13:27It's beautiful.
13:29Ma'am, I must speak to you on some matter of delicate urgency.
13:38What is it, sir?
13:43Good night.
13:44Good night.
13:49Good night.
13:58Papa.
14:03Oh, my darling girl.
14:05Get away.
14:08We...
14:09We don't know you.
14:13That man is a living scandal.
14:15He's already ruined us once.
14:17Would you have him do it again?
14:18What if he needs our help?
14:19Help?
14:20I've raised you as my own.
14:22I've fed you, clothed you, kept you safe at great personal cost.
14:26And why...
14:27I'm sorry.
14:28I'm sorry.
14:29Because our dying mother bid me do it.
14:30I mean to keep my promise whether you wish it or not.
14:35The state of his heart.
14:39I'll smoke you out yet.
14:42I'm sorry.
14:56I'm not stopping.
14:59I'm not stopping.
15:03Damn you!
15:13Evening, Duchess.
15:14I saw Laura on the sidewalk and I called out to her.
15:17I could have sworn she saw me, but not a word.
15:19Bolted it off like she couldn't get out of there fast enough.
15:20I shan't waste my breath because you won't want to hear it.
15:21Hear what?
15:22Just go to sleep.
15:23You think she's too grand for us?
15:25No time for the likes of her own family, is it?
15:26She's not like that, not with me.
15:27Not with Laura.
15:28No, she probably couldn't hear me.
15:29In a hurry.
15:30You said she saw you.
15:31No, I said I thought she saw me.
15:32Saw.
15:33My mistake, obviously.
15:34Told you you wouldn't want to hear it.
15:35You wouldn't want to hear it.
15:36Hear what?
15:37Just go to sleep.
15:38You think she's too grand for us?
15:41No time for the likes of her own family, is it?
15:44She's not like that, not with me.
15:47Not with Laura.
15:48No, she probably couldn't hear me.
15:51In a hurry.
15:52You said she saw you.
15:53No, I said I thought she saw me.
15:56Saw.
15:57My mistake, obviously.
16:00Told you you wouldn't want to hear it.
16:10Yeah?
16:11See that one?
16:12Yeah.
16:13That means the help is at hand.
16:16Oh.
16:17You'll be riding in your own carriage yet.
16:20And just you wait till that big strapping boy in there gets rich.
16:25He won't forget his mother.
16:27What do I want with a carriage?
16:29Lose the author of that mischief.
16:31Eh?
16:32Oh.
16:33He's away at sea.
16:35Proper gentleman.
16:36What's that supposed to mean?
16:38Running out on you.
16:40No money of your own.
16:41Debtors at the door.
16:42No one to dress up and look pretty for.
16:44Walter's got to wearing a crust somehow.
16:46Easier ways of doing that than crossing the ocean.
16:50Oh no, I've hurt your feelings.
16:54No.
16:55Yes I have.
16:56I've upset you.
16:57And I wouldn't do that for the world.
16:59I just think you want to put your feet up.
17:03First child on the way.
17:05First?
17:06You've gone soft in the head.
17:08You need proper taking care of.
17:12Oh.
17:13You take care of me.
17:14What was that for?
17:15That.
17:16Nothing at all.
17:17Puff of wind.
17:18I see a lady in a spot of bother.
17:19I want to help her out.
17:21How can you help me?
17:22I've got a small enterprise in mind.
17:23A few pennies for you.
17:24Little introduction for me.
17:25What sort of enterprise?
17:27One that turns liquid into gold.
17:28Perhaps he's gone.
17:29What do you think?
17:30He came.
17:31He tried his tricks and we sent him packing.
17:33You think so?
17:34You think he'd just walk away after all these years?
17:35I don't know.
17:36I don't know.
17:37I've got a small enterprise in mind.
17:38I've got a small enterprise in mind.
17:39Because I'll help us both.
17:40A few pennies for you.
17:41A little introduction for me.
17:42What sort of enterprise?
17:43One that turns liquid into gold.
17:46Perhaps he's gone.
17:47What do you think?
17:48He came.
17:49He tried his tricks and we sent him packing.
17:50You think so?
17:51You think he'd just walk away after all these years?
18:02What's that?
18:05It's that fair not to you.
18:13Did you hear me?
18:14I have here in my hands a document signed by no less a personage than the Queen herself.
18:23Now, as you can see, ladies and gentlemen, this patent comes fresh from the corridors
18:36of power. There's Our Majesty's fine signature, there at the bottom, Victoria herself, certifying
18:48that I, Arthur J. Ashlow, may sell this miracle remedy to all sufferers from here to Balmoral.
18:58Don't come too close, madam, because it's fearsome, potent stuff. In this here bottle
19:05here, you'll find the ground-up powder from the ancient mummies of Egypt. You'll find
19:14honey from the bumblebees of Persia, and all for a shilling a bottle. Now, who wants to
19:23go? No? There's nobody here with sharp nerves, no dropsy, no hysterics, no sluggish liver,
19:34no motions fast or slow, no arthritics or rheumatics, no pregnant women in need of help for an
19:46heavy load. What's he doing? What he always does, making fools of us all.
19:55Drink it down.
19:56Oh, come. Oh, of course you can. Come on now. Big gulp. Oh, she's got the problem. Give her
20:12air. For God's sake, give her air. Be of strength, madam. This is all perfectly natural, I assure
20:19you. Oh, it's... look, he's alive. Oh. What does it feel like? It's a feather. Thank you, doctor.
20:37It's a miracle. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you witnessed it with your own eyes. And it's a
20:46shilling of bottles. One shilling of bottles. We're moving on tonight. A new town, a new
20:59life. We've done it before. Oh, Prudence. Don't call me that. But it's everything we've
21:05worked for. Surely you're making too much of it. You've seen what he can do. And that was
21:09just the beginning, the first warning shot of those military trinkets on his jacket. Did you see them?
21:16Well, I pity the poor soul that he stole those from. Carol, please. There must be another way.
21:26Perhaps. But you must do exactly as I see.
21:33No! You must run to my Alfie for me. And you must tell him that we're saved. Do you hear me? Saved.
21:41And tell him that I'll be on myself the minute I collect my earnings. Oh, and I'm not going
21:45to spend it this time. I'm going to pay my debts and I'm going to look my little ends right in the eye
21:49and I'm going to kiss them on their lovely, lovely cheeks. Now, you tell him. You drink
21:56it down and then when you wake up, we'll have no more trouble with your rheumatism.
22:02It won't work. There's no medicine in this world powerful enough for my affliction.
22:08Well, then it won't hurt you to try. That's potent, that is. It'll lump the rheumatism out of you
22:18whether it's in your bones or in your head. What's that supposed to mean?
22:25It's drink.
22:48You see. I knew you'd come from me. Not here!
23:15I'm not here.
23:21You change your own names.
23:25No wish to be stained by Arthur Asheville.
23:28It's not that at all.
23:30And your mother give you such pretty names at the font.
23:34Now you can speak of her.
23:37I bet she'd have liked it here.
23:42I feel like I've stepped into our old shop in Eastmere.
23:44Stuff of nonsense.
23:46Don't deny it. It's perfect likeness.
23:49Same stock.
23:51Same French panelling.
23:54Right down to the twist of lace.
24:00I feel like I'd look up and see your mother walk right in here now.
24:06Some sharp word on her lips.
24:09Prudence asked me to give you this.
24:14What have we here?
24:23Twenty pound is it?
24:27And for this settlement I do what?
24:31Walk away and never come back?
24:34Is that the sum of it?
24:36Well speak child.
24:40I need to know what stands between us.
24:42What do you expect?
24:44Not a single word for seventeen years. Not one word.
24:48I wrote you letters.
24:49What letters?
24:51I wanted to make reparation.
24:56Explain an old man's weakness.
25:02See if you could find it in your heart to have me back.
25:06Well, I got my answer. You got yours.
25:17There were no letters.
25:19Very well then.
25:22I'll be gone before first light.
25:25You need never see my face.
25:27Or in my name spoken again since that's what you so devoutly desire.
25:33No, I simply want to understand.
25:36It's just as well.
25:39It's not safe for me to drag my heels.
25:42No, it's safe.
25:45There's folk in this county cut my throat giving half a chance.
25:50I don't know why it is.
25:54A man can't go about his business without people taking offence.
25:58Ruthie.
26:00I had nowhere else to go.
26:12Yeah.
26:16So you came to us.
26:18I just need to lie low for a bit.
26:21Just till things settle down.
26:25I see you've no wish to own up to your own father.
26:30But we could meet, couldn't we?
26:33Private like.
26:37And you could be my own sweet Ruthie again.
26:41And I, you're good for nothing, Pa.
26:45What do you say?
26:59Occasionally, every few months or so, I receive letters like these.
27:15And I put them in here, tied with a black ribbon.
27:19Dead letters.
27:21Letters from an unknown sender bound for an unknown recipient at an unknown address.
27:28How old are they?
27:30Some go back to my father's day.
27:33He was as dogged as I am, I'm afraid.
27:38Like this one.
27:39Mr. Ashlow's missing daughters.
27:49Ruth and Prudence.
27:50That's right.
27:52You know how Zilla is.
27:55On the subject of scandal, she's encyclopedic.
27:57Well, a few years ago, it seems he did them a terrible wrong.
28:03And now here he is under my roof.
28:06Let his daughters...
28:09...are living close by.
28:11...Ruby and Pearl Pratt.
28:17So we can deliver them.
28:19Perhaps.
28:21I cannot decide.
28:23We must, surely.
28:26Oi, what happened?
28:30Just, er, turning in there.
28:33Of course.
28:36What's that?
28:37Women's little secrets?
28:38Good night, Mr. Ashlow.
28:41Good night.
28:54Twister?
28:59Twister?
29:02Twister!
29:05Twister!
29:07Twister!
29:21Duchess.
29:23Mr. Ashlow.
29:24Arthur.
29:26I've been hunting everywhere for you.
29:27That's all I heard.
29:29I'm after my earnings.
29:31Your earnings?
29:33What's this, begging for scraps?
29:34No.
29:36Because I don't like begging, see?
29:38You don't look half so pretty with your begging face, are you?
29:41You said you'd take care of me.
29:44And so I shall.
29:46But don't be badgering me for a few coffers.
29:49Stay close.
29:51I'll make you rich.
29:53Rich as any proper duchess.
29:55I just want to go home.
29:57So you shall.
29:58Caroline.
29:59Caroline.
30:03I gave Alf your message.
30:05How are my children?
30:07They're fine.
30:09They're missing their mark.
30:13Is there anything I can do?
30:15No, just tell them.
30:17Tell them I'll be back again in no time.
30:19Well, I'll be blowed.
30:28No.
30:30Twister.
30:32There's half a pint of beer going begging.
30:35Well, if that won't raise him, nothing will.
30:40He said it had honey in it.
30:43He had such a kind face.
30:45I'm sure Twister will be as right as rain in a day or so.
30:49Of course he will.
30:51He's only wintering.
30:53Wintering?
30:54Like my bees.
30:56Every winter they snuggle up tight as a drum.
30:59Nothing won't bring them out.
31:01Till they're good and ready.
31:03Then out they swarm.
31:05And aren't we the better for it?
31:15Lucky dog.
31:19Find the lady.
31:22We're gonna move her around here.
31:25Move her around there.
31:27Where is she?
31:29There.
31:33Oh, yeah.
31:35There you are.
31:37It's easy.
31:39There we are then.
31:41I'm still learning. Anyone fancy a girl?
31:43There's a gambler.
31:45I think these are yours.
31:48There we are.
31:54Get out.
31:56And take your filthy rumours with you.
32:03Very well.
32:19You said he'd written.
32:22And I didn't believe him.
32:26Where's the lovely lady? Where's the Queen of Hans?
32:28Is she on the left? Is she on the right? Or is she in the middle?
32:38There you go.
32:39Oh, I thought you had me there. I thought you had me. So, who's next up?
32:44Oh, my God!
32:45Oh, my God!
32:46Oh, my God!
32:47Oh, I thought you had me there. I thought you had me.
32:53So, who's next up?
32:57Here! Put it down!
33:00No! Ow! Ow! No! Stop it!
33:05No! No! No!
33:08He's not worth it! Again!
33:11That's enough!
33:22Step away from him!
33:27We will not tolerate the primordial display outside our stores!
33:33Stop! There will be no more bloodshed here tonight!
33:36Not you!
33:42But he promised me money!
33:47I ain't proud, but I ain't no bigger woman, neither!
33:53Don't be poor and look poor, too! That's my motto!
33:57You were always fearless. Undaunted. Just like your mother.
34:03That's why I knew it would be all right.
34:07I knew it was safe to leave you.
34:09He goes before breakfast.
34:11He goes before breakfast.
34:14He goes before breakfast.
34:15He goes before breakfast.
34:21He goes before breakfast.
34:24I'm sorry!
34:26I'm sorry.
34:27He goes before breakfast.
34:31You're moving.
34:33It's not easy, but I'm...
34:35I'm sorry.
34:37It's just like your mother.
34:38That's why I knew it would be all right.
34:39I don't know.
35:10It seems you have me at a disadvantage.
35:13My father sleeping under your roof, eating at your table, regaling you, no doubt, with motley tales of his life on the road.
35:23You always had a weakness with such romantical characters.
35:29I assume this trade can only mean that you're about to ask me a favour.
35:37The letters.
35:39He cannot stay.
36:01I'm under no illusion what people think of us.
36:04One word of our history is sufficient to ruin us here.
36:08But if there was a crime, you were its victims.
36:10It makes no difference what we did.
36:13We are tainted by association.
36:15That is the way with scandal.
36:17Well, so I would request that you say nothing.
36:24I see.
36:27Do I have your word?
36:31We are not all such debts.
36:35Miss Pratt.
36:36Tell me, is this sermon going to last long?
36:39Because I have had the most tiresome day.
36:44Forgive me.
36:45But when a young woman, a child almost, has her heart broken by her own flesh and blood, her own father, she must be so very angry.
37:02After that, any small act of trust that is betrayed by anyone at all, must be enough to break even the strongest spirit.
37:19Surely, she must try, mustn't she?
37:24Or she will always be haunted.
37:28Do I have your word?
37:37Of course.
37:56I'll have a whopping great shiner in the morning.
37:59Seeing little boys take less pride in their battle scars.
38:07I've been preparing a little surprise for you.
38:17It's not quite ready, but worth...
38:20I can bear that scruffy old thing.
38:23So...
38:37What do you think?
38:40There.
38:43I'm lost for words.
38:48What are you doing?
38:49Ta-ra-ra-boom.
38:53That's it. Come on.
38:55Papa.
38:56Are you too proud to dance with an old stick like me?
38:58I've never danced in my life.
38:59Well, never too late to learn.
39:01Ha-ha-ha.
39:02what was it like with your mother I mean after all you used to fetch her sweet
39:23meats you know how she loved her treats and then the doctor said to stop it she couldn't stomach
39:35him you see she asked for me at the end yes what do you tell her he said you were detained on business
39:49but we're on your way stay start again here in Candleford oh my darling girl I forgive you
40:19only it was as simple
40:21my darling Ruthie it's ten years since I saw your pretty brown eyes
40:48you must be quite the beauty now I dare say there's some sweetheart smuggled away
40:55and your sister Prudence how does she fear
41:01she used to scare the life out of me even as a pup
41:06how I miss her fire her resolve always so strong
41:13there was nothing I could give her nothing I could do or say my love was never any use to her
41:25you
41:26yeah
41:33yeah
41:34yeah
41:34yeah
41:35yeah
41:38yeah
41:47Well, goodbye all.
42:05Wait.
42:06That looks like heaven on earth, ma'am.
42:19Thank you, Zilla.
42:21Should we try a taster?
42:22After worship, I think.
42:24It's quite very right and proper.
42:26I should prepare myself.
42:28It looks as tempting as it did in your papa's day, ma'am.
42:33Oh, Zilla.
42:38Oh, yes.
42:39It was my father's recipe, not mine.
42:42Oh, he used to make such a fuss when he was preparing it.
42:45It drove me to distraction.
42:47I would run away and hide in the fields and nothing could drag me home.
42:52Then I suppose I came to see its virtues.
42:55I miss Pratt to see you, ma'am.
42:58Which one?
42:59Does it matter?
43:03Miss Lane, we were wondering, would you like to join us for tea?
43:12Oh, of course.
43:14We would be delighted.
43:16It was entirely my sister's idea.
43:20Shall we say noon?
43:22It was lovely.
43:23You didn't care?
43:36I don't ever know.
43:37It was beautiful.
43:38It was beautiful.
43:39It was beautiful.
43:40Yeah.
43:41I can't see you later, but I was 38 years old, though,
43:45but I didn't remember it.
43:47It was beautiful.
43:49Well, well.
44:19You have lent me a merry dance.
44:27I don't suppose sixpence would do it.
44:49What is keeping them?
45:01My sister and I would...
45:03We would like to present our father in a manner befitting two constant daughters.
45:17Father, you there?
45:23It's been so many years, but now he's been restored to us, poor father.
45:28As you know, his memory is not quite as it should be.
45:32But he wishes to settle down and live sensibly among us.
45:36And to that end, we wish him to meet our neighbours one by one.
45:40Father, are you there?
45:44You may come through now.
45:48Excuse me.
45:57Father?
45:58Father?
45:59O, no.
46:11Oh, no.
46:25Our savings.
46:33Everything.
46:35Every last farthing.
46:37It was to pay off his debts.
46:43You gave him our savings?
46:48No, I only showed them to him.
46:51He doubted we could rescue him.
46:53I simply wanted to reassure him.
46:56What daughter wouldn't?
46:58Pearl?
47:00You see what people are.
47:08No, no.
47:10I should have trusted my own instincts.
47:14Not be taken in.
47:16Not be tempted.
47:18You were my list.
47:20You were my list.
47:22What did you think you would find there?
47:24Nothing but piles and piles of excuses.
47:28He was always weak.
47:30Soft.
47:31And there's only one way to conquer softness.
47:35And that is by making yourself strong.
47:41As I have.
47:51It was him, of course.
47:52Eastmere.
47:53I'm not having it.
47:54Zilla?
47:55He stole it.
47:56Right from under our noses, he did.
47:58What happened?
47:59The one jelly man.
48:00Come look.
48:01See for yourself.
48:02Look.
48:03I always said that man is no more half-witted than what I am.
48:07A great deal less, I fear.
48:10Oh, poor Thomas.
48:12He'll be so cross.
48:13I will never live it down.
48:15Wine jelly is his one weakness.
48:18Live down what, though?
48:20Right.
48:21There's nothing else for it.
48:23Zilla, fetch me my apron.
48:25Yes.
48:26Yes.
48:32Come on out, you old boy.
48:37What are you doing?
48:38My young bride.
48:39I told you that medicine was fearfully powerful.
48:41Here.
48:42Is she with you there?
48:43No.
48:44She's over in Candleford.
48:45I saw her earlier, up on the hill over Larkrise.
48:46And there was that gentleman in that keeps waiting for her.
48:47Didn't you hear her calling?
48:48That weren't no gentlemen.
48:49So is that bailiff went home yesterday.
48:50Isn't that right?
48:51You're probably remembering him before your great day.
48:52You're probably remembering him before your great day.
48:53No.
48:54No.
48:55No.
48:56No.
48:57No.
48:58No.
48:59No.
49:00No.
49:01No.
49:02No.
49:03No.
49:04No.
49:05No.
49:06No.
49:07No.
49:08No.
49:09No.
49:10No.
49:11No.
49:12No.
49:13No.
49:14No.
49:15No.
49:16No.
49:17No.
49:18No.
49:19No.
49:20No.
49:21No.
49:22No.
49:23No.
49:24No.
49:25No.
49:26No.
49:27No.
49:28No.
49:29No.
49:30No.
49:31No.
49:32No.
49:33No.
49:34No.
49:35No.
49:36No.
49:37No.
49:38No.
49:39No.
49:40No.
49:41No.
49:42No.
49:43No.
49:44No.
49:45Mama!
49:51Oh, my, help me!
50:09As they left, some to freedom, some to imprisonment,
50:13they left behind a feeling that life was not as it once appeared,
50:18that there were hitherto unsuspected depths beneath the sunny surface,
50:23and they must either wake up to face a world that was not as they had once dreamed it,
50:29or be lost forever.
50:43Oh, can we have a lodging here?
50:57Here, here.
50:59Oh, can we have a lodging here?
51:12Here come three thinkers, three boys, three to talk, your daughter's far lady.
51:19Oh, can we have a lodging here?
51:24Here, here.
51:25Oh, can we have a lodging here?
51:49Here, here.
51:50Here, here.
51:51Here, here.
51:52Here, here.
51:53Here, here.
51:54Here, here.
