00:00The End
00:30My mother was one of those women who, as the Hamlet saying went, never flinched.
00:39But the care of an infant can show the best of us our limitations.
00:44And teach us that life can't all be carefree summer days.
01:00. . .
01:04. . .
01:10. . .
01:15. . .
01:26. . .
01:42Waiting for Rose, are we?
01:44Twist out. There ain't no Rose.
01:48Ain't there?
01:49I ain't got no gal.
01:51We dreamed up Rose to make Laura jealous.
01:54Morning.
01:56Is this the road to Canterford?
01:58It was the last time I looked.
02:00Well, if you're tired of her, I will myself.
02:03I'm fond of Rose.
02:05Twister, how about we get you home and into bed?
02:09Do you expect Rose might go for a boy like me?
02:15We invented Rose to make another girl jealous.
02:18Laura.
02:19Well, now Rose has hold of Twister's mind.
02:22Oh, well, girls can do that to you.
02:24Even make-believe once.
02:26Fisher Bloom.
02:27Clockmaker.
02:28Journeyman.
02:29Wanderer.
02:30Alpharlis.
02:31A pretty stonemason.
02:32Almost.
02:33Well, Alpharlis, what do you say you show a stranger where a couple of young men might go and search a little bit of dalliance tonight?
02:39I'll have a shave.
02:40Very impressive.
02:41I am very impressed.
02:54Hardiman said you were the best.
02:55You don't approve of my work, sir.
02:56I suggest you don't pay.
02:57I have every confidence.
02:58Every confidence.
02:59There is a forge in the town.
03:00You can work there.
03:01I will make arrangements with the postmistress.
03:02You can lodge here in the staff quarters.
03:03This will be the making of the town.
03:07That's the old bell tower.
03:08I don't know.
03:09I don't know.
03:10I don't know.
03:11I don't know.
03:12I don't know.
03:13I don't know.
03:14I don't know.
03:15I don't know.
03:16There is a forge in the town.
03:17You can work there.
03:18I will make arrangements with the postmistress.
03:19You can lodge here in the staff quarters.
03:21This will be the making of the town.
03:22That's the old bell tower.
03:27I don't know.
03:28What an agreeable little town you have here.
03:40And it's all about to change.
03:42Why might that be?
03:45Because I'm here.
03:50And I'd say you were Laura.
03:55Am I right?
03:56I believe I met your ma today.
03:59And your baby sister.
04:00Miss Lane.
04:01Miss Lane.
04:02Miss Lane.
04:03It was nothing more than a turn in the heat.
04:09I've never seen you like this before.
04:14Don't make such a fuss, girl.
04:17Frank.
04:18Ethel.
04:19Can you not play quietly for once?
04:21Yes.
04:22It's mine, Frank.
04:23No, it's mine.
04:24Frank was using it first.
04:25Emma.
04:26I wish to make a proposal.
04:27A radical proposal.
04:28Hey, that's mine.
04:29Laura and I are going to take the baby back to the post office.
04:34Just for a few days.
04:35An infant is a constant demand.
04:36You need a break.
04:37What use is there in having a spinster cousin if I can't help you out in times of need?
04:51A baby.
04:52Here.
04:53A baby, ma'am.
04:54Stay in here.
04:55In the post office.
04:56Stay in here.
04:57Just what we need, Thomas.
04:58A pleasing diversion for us all.
04:59Will we have to feed it, Mum?
05:00Yes, Minnie.
05:01Perhaps I could make Annie some weak broth.
05:02I would rather enjoy that.
05:03Ma'am, if I may, I feel compelled to express my sincere, my deeply felt, my heart felt,
05:17in all my years serving Her Majesty.
05:21Thomas, I think she's rather taken with you.
05:24The noise, the disturbance, the smell, the noise.
05:29Thomas, surely you're overreacting.
05:31No.
05:32It's uncalled for, ma'am.
05:37How extraordinary.
05:38What does it mean?
05:40Extra...
05:41Er...
05:42Strange.
05:43More than strange.
05:45Extra...
05:48Extra...
05:50...din...
05:51...derry.
05:59Why, Miss Slane, you are with child, with a child, with somebody's child.
06:11I have borrowed her for a day or two to give a little break to a relative of mine.
06:15She is so...
06:16...infant.
06:17Those eyes.
06:18She has teeth.
06:19How marvellous.
06:20Ruby, we have a client.
06:21Ruby?
06:22Mrs. Gladborn.
06:23Mrs. Gladborn.
06:24Miss Slane.
06:25I should advise you.
06:26I am to make a gift of a clock to the town.
06:27Yes.
06:28She has teeth.
06:29How marvellous.
06:30Ruby, we have a client.
06:32Ruby?
06:33Mrs. Gladborn.
06:34Mrs. Gladborn.
06:35Yes.
06:36Mrs. Gladborn.
06:46Miss Slane.
06:48I should advise you.
06:50I am to make a gift of a clock to the town.
06:53To be housed in the old bell town.
06:55What a good idea, councillor.
06:56Now, I know that you will think me presumptuous.
06:59But I have obtained consent from the parish council.
07:03Every modern town needs a clock.
07:05I have secured the services of the finest craftsmen.
07:08The most august designs.
07:10I'm sure it will be splendid.
07:12The clockmaker, Bloom, will require a workplace.
07:16I would consider it a great favour to me if you would let me pay you a levy for the use of the forge.
07:23Of course.
07:24You seem rather cordial today, Miss Slane.
07:27Oh.
07:28I am taking care of my cousin's baby and I find it rather suits me.
07:32I mean to be of assistance to Emma.
07:37It is a woman's nature to be useful.
07:40To friends and neighbours.
07:44Miss Slane.
07:46I assure you the clock will be splendid.
07:49Miss Slane.
07:52Here's my list for the clock.
07:54Tell us what the clock is...
07:55Various parcels in the coming weeks, parts for the clock to arrive here in my name.
07:58Fisher balloon.
07:59You said that our town was gonna change now that you're here.
08:04You said that our town was going to change now that you're here.
08:08Why's that?
08:09A town wants a clock.
08:11I come along, give the town what it wants.
08:14Then, something happens.
08:17Days that were free become trapped in minutes and hours.
08:22A clock can soon become your master.
08:24But if you make them, in the clock you're a master too.
08:28The very second that clock starts ticking in earnest, I'll be on my way.
08:33I stay ahead of it.
08:34Always.
08:36Laura, why is he called Fisher?
08:38Minnie!
08:40Haven't you got upstairs chores to do?
08:42I am called Fisher, Minnie, because I bring good luck.
08:46Truly, do you?
08:48Perhaps not so much luck as things happening.
08:51Like tonight, I am to go out into town with my new friend, Alf Arliss.
08:55Alfie?
08:56Your friend?
08:57You say that like we shouldn't be friends.
08:59I'm just surprised, that's all.
09:02He's a friend of yours, isn't he, Lara?
09:05Alfie?
09:06Yes.
09:08Alfie's my friend.
09:10My dear friend.
09:11Twister?
09:25Twister?
09:25Twister?
09:30Twister?
09:31Twister?
09:34Twister!
09:35Where are you going?
09:36We're all locked up.
09:56I think I'll have an early night.
09:58Yes, Mum.
10:06What's it to be, then, Al?
10:09There ain't much to do after dark round here.
10:12I know the barn where old farmer Jellop
10:16keeps his sire hid from his wife.
10:19We could sup, smoke, talk all night.
10:23Twister, that was years ago.
10:25You told me how you used to do that.
10:27How about we borrow a horse
10:29and trot over to Ingolston to see Rose?
10:32Yes.
10:35Minnie, does Miss Lane know you're out here?
10:37She didn't object.
10:38Can I come, Alfie, please?
10:39They do sound like such fun.
10:41No, we'll look after her, Alfie.
10:42You're only young once.
10:44Ain't that right.
10:45So what'll it be, then?
10:47There's a folly at the manor.
10:49Some of the servants sneak in there at night.
10:51What are we waiting for?
10:52Come on.
10:56Extraordinary.
11:02I'm awake.
11:16Now you're awake.
11:30Did we all sleep well?
11:31Oh, it is, Minnie.
11:36We keep the back door open always.
11:38Why shut the summer out when we can let it in?
11:46I don't think I've ever felt so nourished
11:48by a disturbed night.
11:51As I walk through the meadow
11:53to breathe the fresh air
11:55the flowers are blooming and gay
11:58He's in one of his peculiar tempers, that's all.
12:06His mind's in a different world to his body.
12:11Can't you bring him back with a bit of explanation?
12:14Oh, no.
12:15Reason only makes things worse.
12:18You put a bit of sense in front of him
12:20when he's like this.
12:22It creates such confusion in him.
12:25He gets overtook with a terrible sadness.
12:28The answer is
12:31to let him be.
12:34We'll pass.
12:35It always does.
12:39Yeah.
12:39Yeah.
12:43He only ever sings that song
12:45when he thinks he's 18.
12:46And I placed a kiss on her rosy sweet lips
12:52While the small bird they found us around
12:57Littlin's off to school.
13:00No babe to cart around.
13:02You'll have all your chores done by bavard time, Emma.
13:04I thought I'd take the opportunity
13:05to give the whole cottage a turn out and a scrub.
13:07What is it, Emma?
13:17Surely it was only a few days ago.
13:19I was 18 and gadding about.
13:23Look at me.
13:25Why did no one tell me it all goes by so fast?
13:28Why weren't you listening when they did tell you?
13:35I shan't be turning out of the cottage.
13:37I want to do something.
13:40Do what?
13:41I don't know.
13:42Something.
13:45Something.
13:46I want to...
13:47lose myself.
14:02Minnie?
14:03You went out last night, didn't you?
14:05Out with.
14:06If a girl goes out at night like that
14:09with boys and such
14:11not even boys, men
14:13you'll have a reputation
14:15and worse.
14:17Worse?
14:17Yes.
14:18We all know what happens to girls with no morals.
14:23They might get reported to Miss Lane.
14:25You said that because you were here, things would change.
14:42Well, I'd like to tell you, Mr. Fisher Bloom,
14:45that your antics are most unwelcome.
14:47Taking Minnie and Elf out.
14:50Who knows what you were up to.
14:51At night, out...
14:53You wish you were out there with us, don't you?
14:55If you think that I'm jealous, I'm not.
14:58I have better things to do than go escapading about at night.
15:01And what better things can there be than escapading?
15:04How old are you, Laura?
15:07I'm 17 and it's none of your business.
15:10For a girl so young, you're very buttoned up.
15:13And what gives you the right to tell a girl she's buttoned up?
15:17Because it's true.
15:19Do yourself a favour, Laura.
15:22Unbutton.
15:27Minnie?
15:28You look like I fail.
15:31Come on, boys.
15:33Shirkers to the front.
15:37Twister has more you than a pair of us.
15:39Oh, Elfie.
15:41I have such a burden on my mind.
15:43And if I don't tell someone, I shall fall down under it.
15:46Were you in trouble with Miss Lane?
15:48Worse.
15:49I have feelings.
15:51Girl's feelings.
15:53I'm ruined.
15:55I'm going to have a babe.
15:57No.
15:58Yes.
15:59When did you find out?
16:01This morning.
16:03Well, I mean, how did it happen?
16:06I was a girl without morals, weren't I?
16:10Whose is it?
16:11Mine.
16:12No, I mean, who is the power of it?
16:16I don't know.
16:18Promise me you won't tell a soul I'm pregnant, Elfie.
16:21People will find out because things will happen.
16:25There is a little hope.
16:29Miss Lane do seem fond of babies.
16:31Surely if I place the pin here, that will hold it.
16:33It does seem to be deeply uncomfortable.
16:37Annie is usually quite pacified when Emma changes her napkin.
16:40Thank you, Miss Margaret.
16:41Perhaps if we try to amuse her.
16:44Oh, dear.
16:51The child needs firmness.
16:53All children respond to a commanding presence.
16:56Child, we are tending your needs.
16:58Be appreciative.
16:59No, no tenderness.
17:01A comforting stroke or...
17:02Ladies.
17:04Ladies.
17:18Ma'am's pen.
17:21Thomas Brown, you have hidden talents.
17:35Thomas.
17:37Ladies.
17:51Ruby, what is it?
18:05What on earth has taken hold of you?
18:09We're closed.
18:10Stop taking.
18:11You have to come back tomorrow.
18:13Great.
18:15Thank you so much.
18:16We are not going to dwell on this.
18:25You're a little tired and overworked.
18:27Warm milk and early to bed tonight, a cure for every ill.
18:34Stop taking.
18:38I don't know who he thinks he is.
18:41He comes here.
18:42He has opinions about everyone and everything.
18:44I find him most objectionable.
18:47Oh, I rather like Mr Bloom.
18:48A refreshing voice of frankness, I find.
18:51But then I do have a weakness for Churneyman.
18:53In fact, I must invite him to tea.
18:56Now, would you say I was buttoned up?
19:01Not in the least.
19:03Not at all.
19:05Perhaps sometimes a tad serious, if I were to be exacting.
19:09Oh.
19:10So you think I should unbutton?
19:12Rather unfortunate phrase, but we can all benefit from a touch of joie de vie.
19:20Was that Annie?
19:21No, ma'am.
19:22That was not Annie.
19:23An invitation for me, ma'am from Mr Dowell.
19:25Mommy passed it to me, ma'am.
19:26Minnie, please try to slow down.
19:28You talk faster than you think.
19:29Try to say one word at a time.
19:32Yes, ma'am.
19:36Lunch at the Golden Lion.
19:37Oh, and he's invited Annie, too.
19:41How endearing.
19:42Why has he invited a baby?
19:45He's only showing courtesy, Laura.
19:47Why is everyone so possessed of my baby sister?
19:49What is so special about a baby?
19:51She can't talk.
19:52She can't converse.
19:53She makes noises and she makes demands.

20:35Miss Pratt, you are with us again.
20:41I happen to notice the prettiest bonnet.
20:43I always feel a comely bonnet makes an infant so much the cheerier.
20:46Yes, even if she does not notice her.
20:50Perhaps I could try it on her.
20:53Oh, what have we here?
20:57It's a present from Archie Ruby.
21:00Oh, shall we try it on?
21:03Shall we?
21:04Shall we try it on?
21:05Woo!
21:07Shall we try it on?
21:09Shall we try it on?
21:12Aren't we fortunate to have so many visits from Archie Ruby?
21:20How on earth do you manage your post office duties with the babe to look after, Miss Lane?
21:24I have my staff to help keep things ticking along.
21:32If you were to require someone to take Annie for a stroll,
21:35No.
21:38Yo!
21:46Laura, Thomas!
21:46Oh!
21:47Oh, little boy.
21:48Oh.
21:49Oh.

22:00Oh.
22:01how did you learn to make clocks? I was looking at a clock one day and I decided that was for me
22:22to make something out of nothing take a few pieces of metal and bend them
22:28file them and fit them together so that they take away and make time I enjoy the
22:35wonder of things so I found the best old clockmaker in London and I asked him to
22:41teach me well tomorrow of course I may have no more fascination with clocks and
22:47I should have to leave them behind you must have spent so much time learning
22:52why does that matter you are strange and you were different did you do that for me
23:00no I did not I haven't dressed this way I was thinking I might go out tonight just for the
23:13fun of going out joy de vie if you were asking me if I would like to join you then I shall have to
23:28decline your offer I suspect you think you're something of a catch Laura but you aren't not to
23:36a man like me you see it's not your dress that I find buttoned up or your hair it's you you seem to
23:46me to have an opinion of yourself some people who get on in life do well it's not always the best thing
23:53for the soul if we were to talk about opinion then you have more than your fair share of Fisher Bloom
23:58I've never met anyone quite so offensive so insulting so judgmental so without
24:06kindness without grace without politeness
24:13Ruby what are you doing
24:28I thought little Annie might appreciate some air you might have asked me
24:34thought I did
24:36shall we go back inside just take her for a stroll just at the edge of town
24:44please
24:48perhaps we might go together

25:37especially one's own children

25:48Miss Margaret I have a confession to make
25:51I am not the kind of man
25:54I cannot contemplate
25:57I do not want children of my own
26:02but you are so natural
26:10I have always known this
26:11there the matter begins and ends
26:13I would be grateful if we were to discuss this no more

26:33Thomas may I walk with you

28:00what is your gift to the town Mr Dowland
28:04why would you want to know my feelings
28:06well since the bell tower
28:09is so prominently visible from the post office
28:11as councillor
28:13I simply wanted to take into consideration
28:15perhaps if you would cast your eyes over the plans
28:19it's a clock
28:21it's fine
28:21she is such a well behaved girl
28:30do you know
28:33I believe she enjoys nothing better than the company of men
28:36perhaps if it were more commanding
28:40or less commanding
28:43either
28:45do you know the oddest thing
28:50the times when Annie wakes me in the night
28:53only means that
28:54the sleep I do have
28:55is deeply resting
28:57it's a mystery to me
28:59it's possibly exhaustion
29:01possibly
29:03I have told Thomas
29:07that I only wish to be with him
29:09but that is not all you wish
29:12no
29:14there will be a reason
29:17why a man acts in such a way
29:19there has to be
29:20there is always a reason
29:23we must find the reason
29:25and we must hope
29:28and believe that it can be overcome
29:29will you speak with him Miss Lane
29:32you seem to be able to
29:34reach him
29:35of course
29:37and is she sleeping better
29:46Miss Lane seems to enjoy the fact that Annie is not sleeping any better
29:50and how is that handsome young Fisher Bloom
29:54he's such a charming young man
29:57he all but carried me back to the hamlet
30:00and the baby
30:02I don't know how he managed it
30:04he's one of those
30:06heavenly souls
30:08you can see it in his face
30:11not everyone seems to think so
30:12oh but they do
30:14in luck
30:15rise
30:15anyway
30:16Twister
30:17Queenie
30:17Alf
30:18we've all taken to Fisher
30:19Mara
30:22would you say that I had a high opinion of myself
30:26why
30:28what a question
30:29would you
30:30truthfully
30:31no
30:32not at all
30:34you were doing well for yourself
30:37that's all
30:38getting on
30:40that's all
30:42perhaps you do have a little pride about you
30:46but that's only youthfulness
30:50you will grow out of here
30:52I expect
30:55Mara are you laughing at me
30:58no
30:59it's just that I have such an itch
31:04an itch
31:06my cousin will be along shortly
31:16to collect Annie
31:16alright but I could sit with you while you wait
31:21Winnie how can you possibly eat another boiled egg
31:36I have a terrible craving for a mum
31:38well I wish you had as much craving for your work
31:41have you changed all the bed sheets
31:43I surely will mum
31:44strange to think that
31:51you
31:52Miss Lane
31:53were the last baby in your family to be born in this post office
31:56heaven knows when this place will see the next
32:01Miss Lane
32:05I wanted to apologise
32:06there is no need
32:07no I need
32:07I feel
32:09there were such thoughts in my mind when I took Annie outside
32:14I know
32:15and you are not alone
32:18I saw in your face what I felt in my own heart secretly
32:22Miss Lane
32:28may I ask a personal question of you
32:30do you ever hope?
32:35I believed I was past such things
32:37I have chosen this life
32:41and it has been immeasurably kind to me
32:44but these past few days
32:46it has quite taken me by surprise
32:50I keep asking myself
32:53have these emotions been stirred up
32:57because I offered to take in Annie
32:58or did I offer to take in Annie
33:01because I wanted to
33:02stir up these thoughts and questions
33:05they are only feelings I suppose
33:11no Miss Lane
33:12no
33:12surely
33:13feelings are the stuff of life
33:16well to be honest with you
33:18these
33:18feelings have made me feel that I am ready for Annie to go now
33:23pains me to admit it
33:27but
33:27her presence here disturbs me so much
33:32I don't know what another night would do to me
33:36what I am left with
33:40constantly
33:42what keeps me awake at night is
33:44what is one to do
33:47when there is nothing to be done
33:49Miss Lane
33:52Miss Pratt
33:54my mare has asked if you could keep Annie for one more night
33:57and since you had said how much you enjoyed having our little guest
34:00and wouldn't mind having a month of her
34:02I took the liberty of saying that would be possible
34:04yes of course Laura
34:07that will be just fine
34:09and
34:15I
34:17I
34:17am
34:19OK
34:19wow
34:28Wow
34:32oh
34:32I was just, um...
34:44So I see.
34:47It's such a fine day.
34:50I felt...
34:51Your baby's doing fine in the post office, being looked after.
34:57I was feeling tired and overburdened.
35:02So I see.
35:15Laura.
35:18I feel I've been rather selfish keeping Annie to myself all this time.
35:22Of course you would prefer to have her sleeping in your room with you.
35:26It's not selfish, ma'am.
35:28I know how much you've been enjoying our company.
35:30Annie, I wouldn't want to spoil that for you.
35:38But since this is her last night with us,
35:41I'm sure you would enjoy it, so please don't let me stop you.
35:44Ma'am, truly.
35:46I'd rather she stay with you.
35:53You just don't get it, do you, Laura?
36:06Miss Lane needs you to help her.
36:10How would you know that?
36:11If you stopped thinking of yourself, you might notice she needs you to take the baby from her.
36:16She's struggling.
36:17She copes fine.
36:19Annie's so quiet most of the time.
36:21Laura, all I ask is that you knock on Miss Lane's door tonight and ask her.
36:26Look in her eyes and see if the answer's there.
36:28Will you do that?
36:29I don't know.
36:52I don't know.
37:22Thomas?
37:24Ma'am?
37:26I spoke with Miss Ellison yesterday.
37:30Ah.
37:33I know a little about your family background. Not much.
37:37And I can't help thinking.
37:39I'm not sure this is something I wish to discuss with my employer, Miss Lane.
37:43Oh, but Thomas, we all saw how wonderfully you handled Annie in her time of distress.
37:48That means something.
37:51I know it does.
37:52I know.
37:55Unless you can give up your secrets, Thomas, you will always be at the mercy of them.
38:00I know. I promise you.
38:06Four brothers and sisters.
38:09Me the oldest.
38:10That teaches you to tend to their needs, to feed and clothe them from this high.
38:17I never begrudged it.
38:22I loved every minute of it because the Lord gave me the strength to see it through.
38:26But that can also teach you that parents can let you down.
38:34It is only fear.
38:35It is only fear.
38:36It is only fear.
38:38And fear can be conquered.
38:40I've seen you do it before.
38:42Well, perhaps now this might be your greatest challenge.
38:48Thomas, you can do it.
38:51I believe you can.
38:52I'm grateful for your faith in me, Miss Lane, but I'm afraid it's not your faith that I need.
39:01It is my own.
39:02I have spent many a year searching for God-given courage to bring my own child into his world.
39:08And it can't be found.
39:29You have my spot.
39:31I'll have you know that I've been coming to this spot for many years.
39:35My whole life.
39:36And I've drawn this view a hundred times and more.
39:51Can I see?
40:01It's beautiful.
40:03I can never get the sky how I want it.
40:06These guys have a habit of not doing what you want them to.
40:13Why here?
40:15Why this spot?
40:15There are pathways that I've trodden daily.
40:23Bushes and wildflowers I know better than my own hands.
40:27The pond where the yellow brandy bullwater lilies grow.
40:33Little birch thickets where the long-tailed tits congregate.
40:37I've seen these fields in the blackest understorms in a more sunshine than we have a right to deserve.
40:46Why do they call you fisher?
41:00Why do they call you fisher?
41:03Because me ma said I was like a kingfisher.
41:05A large head, long, sharp, pointed bill, short legs, stubby tail.
41:12Well, I can see why she chose that now.
41:14I think she was more mean in how it's a brave bird.
41:17The first creature to leave Noah's Ark and they can nest anywhere, even on the sea.
41:23Laura!
41:24Laura!
41:25Laura!
41:26Ethel!
41:27Frank!
41:28Edmund!
41:29Come on, Frank.
41:30Edmund!
41:31You little wanderers!
41:32What are you doing?
41:33Are we going on our way to Candleford?
41:34No.
41:35Yes.
41:36Fisher Bloom, meet my family.
41:37Oh.
41:38Twister!
41:39What are you doing out here today?
41:40Why am I wearing an old man's clothes?
41:41No.
41:42No.
41:43No.
41:44No.
41:45No.
41:46No.
41:47No.
41:48No.
41:49No.
41:50No.
41:51No.
41:52No.
41:53No.
41:54No.
41:55No.
41:56No.
41:57No.
41:58No.
41:59No.
42:00No.
42:01No.
42:02No.
42:03No.
42:04No.
42:05No.
42:06No.
42:07No, no.
42:08No.
42:10No.
42:11No.
42:12No.
42:13Come on, the children have potatoes, and what?
42:15We'll have ourselves a picnic
42:16and then we'll get Twister back to Queenie, eh?
42:17Ok, I've got some more shopping.
42:19Yeah.
42:20No.
42:21Thomas, I must put upon your good nature and leave the baby with you.
42:39Mr Dowland is pacing up and down outside of the post office
42:41and I must see what is amiss.
42:43No, Miss Lane, you cannot... I will not.
42:47Miss Lane!
42:51Miss Lane!
42:57Miss Lane!
43:00Miss Lane!
43:01Miss Lane!
43:02She likes you.
43:03Well, that, that ain't my fault, is it?
43:05She just said Thomas. She just said your name.
43:09No, no, she didn't. It's no more than just a sound.
43:11Thomas.
43:12I'm not.
43:19Science and wonders.
43:24There's my ma and pa.
43:26Push, don't shout out. Don't interrupt.
43:29It's ma and pa.
43:30Leave them be. Come here.
43:33What are they doing?
43:35Why are ma and pa in the long grass?
43:37They're playing. Hiding in the grass.
43:39Let's go round the other way.
43:41Come on. Come on.
43:47There was a time in our lives when every day was like this.
43:51But we could have kept that if we wanted it.
43:54We wanted something else, something more.
43:56I know it.
43:59And I'm glad of it.
44:05But we do have today though, don't we?
44:08We do.
44:11Oh no.
44:12Not twist her.
44:13Playing in the grass, don't we?
44:14Shhh.
44:15Shhh.
44:16Edmund Ethel.
44:17Oh no.
44:18Oh no.
44:19Why I picked her a handful of days.
44:20Not twist her.
44:25Playing in the grass, don't we?
44:26Shhh.
44:27Shhh.
44:28Shh.
44:29Shhh.
44:30Shhh.
44:32Shhh.
44:34Shhh.
44:35Shhh.
44:36Shhh.
44:37Shhh.
44:38Shhh.
44:39Edmund Ethel!
44:40Lauren, there's something you want to know concerning the maid of the post office.
45:03Alf.
45:05That's good to see you, Fisher.
45:07Maybe not when you hear what I have to say.
45:10Alf, I like Lara.
45:18Of course you do.
45:19Everyone likes Lara.
45:24Oh.
45:27You mean you like her?
45:29I owe you nothing more than the courtesy of telling you.
45:32That's why I'm here.
45:35Well, that's considerate of you, I suppose.
45:40Does Lara like you?
45:45I think she does.
45:50I mean to find out.
45:53You have Lara.
45:57I have Rose.
45:58Miss Lane.
46:10Miss Lane.
46:12Craving boiled eggs.
46:14Of course.
46:16I blame myself.
46:18I've been such a fool.
46:21Distracted by my own concerns.
46:22Here she comes.
46:30You wanted to speak with me, Mum?
46:33Sit down, Minnie.
46:40How are you feeling?
46:41My stomach couldn't feel him too good.
46:46Have you spent time with a boy?
46:49I'm so sorry, Mum.
46:51I'm a disgrace.
46:53I'm a ruin.
46:55I bring only shame and scandal on you.
46:57So you were intimate with this boy?
47:00Three of them, Mum.
47:01One of them was old.
47:02Oh, dear me.
47:03My ma craved bald eggs when she was carrying me, and now I'm craving them.
47:08Only I don't like the taste of them.
47:10But if you crave them, Minnie, I...
47:12Minnie.
47:15These three boys.
47:17When did you go out with them?
47:19Three nights ago.
47:25Minnie, what does intimate mean?
47:28Saying things and sneaking out at night.
47:35And can I ask you?
47:39How does a girl get pregnant?
47:42Morals, Mum.
47:51Girl.
47:53You can stop eating me out of eggs.
47:56You are no more pregnant than Thomas is.
47:58You are no more pregnant than you.
48:02Extraordinary.
48:06Progress, indeed.
48:26Walk on.
48:28You're back, then.
48:52I have a question for you.
48:55Go on.
48:56I'm fond of a puzzle.
48:59How did we get so old?
49:05Twister, your trouble is you fight against it.
49:09It don't work that way.
49:12We ain't the masters of this earth.
49:16We're its servants.
49:19We're put here.
49:20We live our time and be grateful.
49:25Now, look at us now, sitting here under this old hedge.
49:34Who cares how many years are behind us or how many days in front?
49:38We're here, aren't we?
49:42Yeah.
49:43Can't you just accept that?
49:50I will.
49:51I'll try anyway.
49:57Margaret.
49:59Thomas.
50:01On the matter we were discussing...
50:07It is only fear, and surely God gave us fear that we might overcome it.
50:20It is only fear, and surely God gave us fear that we might overcome it.
50:37Thank you, Douglas.
50:38She hasn't been too much of a disturbance to you.
50:50Not at all.
50:51We got along just five years.
50:52We have guests.
50:53We have guests.
50:54We have to make so much noise.
50:55The care of an infant can show the best of us our limitations, and our own small greatness.
51:11My father once said that when a man tells a woman how he feels about her, that is only the start of it.
51:25Miss Lane.
51:28Dorcas.
51:32Another invitation.
51:33You really must be having doubts about your clock, Mr Dowland.
51:41But as everyone knows, I cannot say no to a fine meal.
51:50Go on, then.
51:52Tell me about your plans.
51:54My plans.
52:01My plans.
52:04Shall we not talk about weighty matters?
52:08Shall we just pass the time of day on inconsequential nothings?
52:21I would like that very much.
52:33I'm here.
52:36You.
52:39Abandon me.
52:41This isn't a minions.
52:44We just wanted to define it.
52:45좋다.
52:48Oh ا Commons.
52:50If you haven't yet hábit.
52:52Touch the moon with me.
52:54I have to pray for you.
52:56I will reach you.
