00:00A broken heart feels to its young bearer, uniquely painful.
00:30I'm sorry I'm late back, ma'am. Is that more post? I'll take it from you.
00:42There's no need, Laura. It's all in hand.
00:46And the sight of another's happiness only makes it worse.
00:51She's glad you were late, so she could hit the hotel post herself and let her eyes on you-know-who.
00:56But eventually comes the knowledge that our own experience is seldom unique.
01:03Everyone's happiness is fragile.
01:06All expectations can be dashed.

01:27Oh, Miss Lane.
01:53You could not have expected to see me here.
01:56What, Mr Dowland?
01:58Poaching my staff?
02:01It's all right, Thomas.
02:03Mr Dowland had the good manners to ask my permission before offering you the position.
02:07Miss Lane, let me assure you...
02:09Thomas, what you do between your rounds is your business.
02:12Only promise me you'll find time for proper lunches.
02:14I will, ma'am.
02:15Splendid.
02:22Miss Lane, I have taken on this extra employment to finance my forthcoming, my...
02:29Your nuptials.
02:30Lovely words.
02:31Indeed.
02:32But I would rather Miss Ellison be kept unaware of the...
02:36deficit in my capital.
02:40Oh, Thomas.
02:41I'm sure Miss Ellison would not think less of you because of any monetary lack.
02:47I understand.
02:49My lips are sealed.
02:50Truly.
02:51The sun is out.
02:54And so should we be.
02:56Will you take a turn around the town?
02:58Oh, why not?
03:00Laura will keep shop.
03:01Mum, I have just seen a very lardy-dar carriage come to the hotel.
03:18Oh?
03:18I wonder who it contained.
03:21I've just guessed.
03:23The Queen.
03:25Yes.
03:26On her way to Balmoral.
03:27Yes.
03:28Well, I do hope you can curtsy, Minnie.
03:31Not just a bob, a real drop.
03:34Even lower, with a bow of the head to show humility.
03:37Oh, come.
03:38I'll just have to hide if she comes by.
03:44Laura?
03:46Laura Timmons, what you need is a rest day.
03:49Oh, Elf.
04:10I'm all at sea.
04:13I miss him so.

04:48Happy birthday, Grandpa.
04:50Three score, year and ten.
04:53How many is that, young lady?
04:55Hundred.
04:56Almost. Seventy.
04:59Laura, Laura, Laura, Blue Angora.
05:03Don't defend us, wouldn't you, Dora?
05:05I bet they do.
05:08Don't they, boy chap?
05:10Look at you.
05:12Oh, you've grown muscles since I saw you last.
05:15Men's shoulders.
05:16But you get a big show during that squeeze box, eh?
05:21Let's have a piggyback, little lady.
05:25There you go.
05:38Sir, a lady checked into the suite of Mrs. Bryce Coulson.
05:44James.
05:46Celestia.
05:47What are you...
05:49When did you arrive?
05:51Pleased to see me?
05:52Of course.
05:54Of course.
05:55Come on, sir.
05:56Why didn't you send a telegram?
06:10I wanted to surprise you.
06:12I was bored.
06:13You've hidden yourself away down here doing goodness knows what.
06:17You'll be one of them soon.
06:19A bumpkin.
06:20What champagne do you serve?
06:22I'll do it.
06:23Anyway, as you seem so confident I should expand the company northwards, I've brought some land sale brochures.
06:36Celestia.
06:39Happy birthday!
06:4070.
06:41I can't believe it.
06:44And we hope you'll be very happy living here.
06:50Your grandpa's got to retire.
06:53And his cottage at Hardington Hall will go to whoever takes over as coachman.
06:57So I promised your grandma, God rest her, that when the time came, grandpa would live here with us.
07:07Your mom didn't know you'd have quite such a house full, oh, did she?
07:14That makes no difference.
07:16Well, Edmund, as Emma says, and we are agreed, you are welcome here.
07:22We've made some room and you are very welcome.
07:25Buggy.
07:26Buggy.
07:28Look at that tiny hand.
07:31Tiny hand like that.
07:33Belongs in a lace glove.
07:39Well, I'm off to the wagon and horses.
07:42Yes.
07:43You men get from under my feet and go for a sup.
07:46Aye.
07:52Christopher?
07:54Oh.
07:57You, is it?
07:58Here for your yearly visit.
08:03When are you going home?
08:04Come and have a drink.
08:06Fairly at you.
08:07You're more helpful to Cousin Dorcas.
08:18Not moping like this.
08:22Just because Dorcas is family, don't make assumptions.
08:25There are girls who give the hair on their head for the position you have.
08:31Yes, Ma.
08:32I know that.
08:33I should go and see Dorcas.
08:43Tell her how you've been.
08:45And that you're trying your best to get over it.
08:48Please, Ma.
08:50There's no need.
08:52Really.
08:52Well, whatever goes on in that heart of yours,
09:00just remember you mustn't ever let it affect your work.
09:07You should get on your way.
09:11Don't dally.
09:12Get back before dark.
09:16Bye, Ma.
09:17Bye.
09:17What's the big secret?
09:39The big hatchet.
09:40I told thee.
09:42I'm not saying.
09:44Twister's never got over that he kissed his queenie.
09:46Get away.
09:48When?
09:49When we were younger.
09:51Twister got a love rival.
09:54Long time ago off.
09:55Let it lie.
09:56It weren't no laughing matter.
10:00She were my betrothed.
10:02Why didn't you marry her then?
10:06What?
10:08Well, Twister's been married to Queenie for...
10:10Well, forever.
10:12Ah, but I know he hasn't.
10:13We're as good as wed.
10:15We would have wed when the babies come along.
10:17Only when we did,
10:19we needed the money it would have cost for a wedding breakfast.
10:21Ah, you mean you were too tight-fisted to spend it?
10:26There you are.
10:29He only went out for water.
10:31I thought he'd fallen down the well.
10:37I'm sorry, Queenie.
10:39I should have taken more note of my father-in-law's hospitality.
10:42Not your fault.
10:45Twister's old enough to know when he's had enough.
10:47Come on, you're not a lump.
10:57I'm just stepping over to the hotel.
10:59No, don't.
11:03I mean, I have already delivered the mail.
11:06There, ma'am.
11:07I need to do the postal service accounts for the hotel.
11:10Oh, I'll get my notebook.
11:12There's no need for you to come, Laura.
11:14You said I should look over your shoulder with accounts.
11:18To learn how to...
11:20Oh, excuse me.
11:50I need to send a postal order, special delivery to London.
11:53Is there a service?
11:54Special delivery, madam?
11:55That is easily done.
11:57If you'd like to come with me over to the post office.
12:01Miss Lane is the postmistress.
12:03Ah, for my sins.
12:05Dorcas Lane.
12:06Pleased to meet you.
12:07Will you excuse us, James?
12:09Yes, of course.
12:10There's the hotel, of course.
12:18And then there's the draper's store we just passed.
12:21And that more or less comprises Camberford.
12:24Apart from my modest empire, the post office forge.
12:27Yes, thank you, Minnie.
12:29Laura, a special delivery form.
12:31Oh.
12:31Tell me, how do you find the hotel?
12:38Oh.
12:39It's been a boon.
12:41I think Mr. Dowland has excelled.
12:44You know, when he first came to Candleford,
12:46I was one of his harshest critics.
12:49But...
12:50But...
12:52But now, he has proved me quite wrong.
12:56Has he?
12:58How so?
12:59Oh, well...
13:02I can see that his motivations are mostly to the good.
13:07He's...
13:08an honest man.
13:10And it's rare to find such a man who is not already...
13:14I am saying far more than is appropriate.
13:19No, not at all.
13:23Guaranteed to arrive by nine in the morning.
13:36Sir, it's Margaret.
13:44Oh, thank you.
13:53Oh, thank you.
13:57Thomas, doesn't holdings mean ownership?
14:14I believe so.
14:16I thought Mr. Dowland owns the hotel.
14:19That's really none of our business.
14:20Celestia.
14:27Mum.
14:28Oh.
14:38Had a loose end, Edmund.
14:42Thought I'd be happy as a sandboy.
14:46At my leisure.
14:47But you're not.
14:49I understand.
14:51The man's got to work.
14:54Unless he's Twister.
14:59Oh.
15:06Oh.
15:08Come by, little bee.
15:10Go into your home.
15:12Is that the old Arliss house?
15:19Yes.
15:20Down there, empty.
15:21Oh, it is a shame.
15:25Very like the house I left behind.
15:29I could dream of living in that house.
15:32With you, Queenie.
15:33Oh, get away, you old rascal.
15:35Ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:39Put the bucket down.
15:42The bucket, put it down.
15:45He's helping me cart the water home.
15:48This isn't his job.
15:50Put it down.
16:02Oh, very gallant.
16:09No.
16:09Oh, postman.
16:29Ladies?
16:30We wish to leave a calling card for the lady who is residing.
16:34And I've written to the auction house to expect us for the viewing on Wednesday.
16:39You don't waste time.
16:41Well, you know I don't.
16:43You look tired.
16:49Listen, er, why don't you take these up to your room?
16:52I have some very dull hotel matters to deal with.
16:55Well, I could meet you for lunch.
16:56No.
16:57We're here in the lobby.
16:58Er, I really don't have time.
17:00Listen, why don't you take something in your room and I will send someone up to take your order.
17:03Oh, come on, Emma.
17:09This will be the finest trap, Grandpa.
17:12Ah!
17:12Oh, oh, oh, you shouldn't have.
17:14Here.
17:16I was making traps when I was ten.
17:19He'll live.
17:21You mollycoddle him, Emma.
17:23Seeing you do it, ain't right?
17:25I don't mollycoddle him.
17:27I just don't needlessly put him in danger.
17:29Oh, come on, Emmy.
17:32Edmund's plenty old enough to be using the tools.
17:34Of course he is.
17:36You tie him to your apron strings, em girl.
17:38You'll turn him into a milk's up.
17:40You can't protect him from every scrape.
17:48Emma?
17:48Just pull the rug from under me and in front of the boy.
17:56It wasn't deliberate.
17:57For once, I agree with him.
18:01Oh, come on, Emma.
18:02I want mollycoddle, Edmund.
18:04And more important, this is how we sort things, Robert.
18:07You and I, if we disagree, we keep it between the two of us.
18:11Something amiss?
18:12No, Pa.
18:14Nothing at all.
18:15All right.
18:17Nothing you can't take out on me.
18:20That's very clever.
18:21Well, for heaven's sake, Emma, I mustn't agree with him.
18:24I mustn't disagree with him.
18:26Damned every which way, aren't I?
18:33I'm just so caught between being a wife and being a daughter and...
18:43guilty.
18:45Because he's my father.
18:49I do love him.
18:51And I'm pleased to do my duty by him.
18:55But it's not easy on my marriage talkers.
19:00Well, he's my uncle.
19:04If I clear away some boxes,
19:06I'm sure I can make room for another bed in the Smithies dormitory.
19:09He could come and stay here, say, every other weekend.
19:16Well, that would be...
19:17You and Robert must have some time to yourselves.
19:20It's essential.
19:22Let's see how it goes.
19:23If it's not working, you've every right to change arrangements.
19:26Let's see how it's fine.
19:32Ach, no.
19:33Let's see how it goes.
19:34Let's see how it goes.
19:35Thank you for your work.
19:55Miss Everson.
19:57What can I do for you?
19:59Schling postal order. Nothing more.
20:05Are you unwell, Miss Everson?
20:09You look a little...
20:11Oh.
20:13It's Mr Brown.
20:15Thomas.
20:17I believe Mr Brown...
20:19is avoiding me.
20:21Avoiding you?
20:23Surely not.
20:25Oh.
20:27There is an awful lot of post at the moment.
20:29This time of year is always busy.
20:31His rounds are possibly taking longer.
20:33Oh.
20:35Thomas is at the hotel.
20:37No, he isn't. Laura is quite mistaken.
20:39He is.
20:43It all makes sense.
20:45This lady at the hotel is turning heads.
20:49The whole of Candleford is talking about her beauty.
20:53And Mr Brown is seduced.
20:57Oh, he is not.
20:59There can be no other explanation.
21:03All is well, Miss Ellison.
21:07I promise you.
21:09I promise you.
21:15Oh, dear.
21:17Mrs Price calls and would be mortified...
21:19if she knew the distress she was causing.
21:21Oh, my father's birth certificate.
21:3570 from 95 is 25.
21:37Mr Dowland may already be attached.
21:39Mr Dowland isn't attached yet, Miss Pearl.
21:41Mr Dowland attached?
21:43To whom?
21:45To Miss Lane, almost.
21:47Minnie is presumptuous.
21:49You are presumptuous, Minnie.
21:51But you have hopes of marriage.
21:53Oh, I...
21:55It's not for me to...
21:57Well, then I must tell you a little about James Dowland.
22:01When he and I first met...
22:03Ed?
22:05You've met?
22:07Previously?
22:08Oh, yes.
22:10I was already a widow, so the scandal was not great.
22:15James was young and ambitious.
22:18But his entrepreneurship was not bolstered by anything in the way of fortune.
22:23I had money.
22:25We came to an agreeable arrangement.
22:29Both financial...
22:31and personal.
22:36Mrs Price calls and I have other customers waiting.
22:39Otherwise, I could happily reminisce about our mutual friend all day long.
22:43Thank you...
22:45for your custom, madam.
22:47Good day to you.
22:49Good day.
22:50Miss Lane, did I hear you?
22:51Ladies, the post office is now closed.
22:53There's no such notice on the door.
22:54Audit in.
22:55By order of her officer, Miss Lane,
22:57your majesty's post office is closed.
22:59Your majesty's post office is closed.
23:09Go into the kitchen, Minnie.
23:11I'm so very sorry, Miss Lane.
23:19I'm so very sorry too, Miss Lane.
23:21Well, obviously...
23:23I've been a laughingstock.
23:25No!
23:27I knew that Mrs Bryce Coulson...
23:29Be quiet!
23:31Mariko.
23:32Just leave!
23:33Just leave!
23:47You haven't been sent away?
23:49Some people are born liars, Mum.
24:07Or just...
24:09After all, if she thinks she's the Queen...
24:11Or just...
24:12After all, if she thinks she's the Queen...
24:13Or just...
24:14After all, if she thinks she's the Queen...
24:18Or just...
24:19Can't wait.
24:23Oh...
24:24I will be on my way to see you.
24:26I can't wait.
24:28What has happened?
24:30I was on my way to see you.
24:43What has happened?
24:46I've had the most peculiarly distressing exchange with Mrs. Bryce Coulson.
24:51She...
24:51What, Dorcas? What did she say?
24:54I believe she meant to imply that you and she are intimate.
25:04No. No.
25:07She meant that we have, at times, been business associates.
25:11I didn't get the chance to tell you.
25:14Business associates?
25:16Yes.
25:16Only that.
25:18Yes.
25:21Then I misunderstood.
25:24Yes, Dorcas.
25:26And I shall prove it to you.
25:28Here and now.
25:32Marry me.
25:35Marry me, Dorcas.
25:40Don't say a word now.
25:42I don't have the necessary rent.
25:45But I will.
25:46Within the hour.
25:54Celestia.
26:12It is ended between us.
26:18Dorcas and I.
26:27Are you saying that it's mutual?
26:30With this post-mistress?
26:33Yes.
26:34It is recent.
26:40And it has come from nowhere.
26:43But yes.
26:44You and I must be business partners only.
26:53From today.
26:55I gave years to you.
26:58A man who had nothing.
27:01I supported.
27:02Loved.
27:04Bolstered your confidence.
27:05And I never insisted on marriage.
27:16You.
27:22Yes, I know.
27:27But we can still have all that.
27:29The business.
27:30The ventures.
27:31We can still do all of that.
27:35Why not?
27:39Why not indeed?
27:43Celestia.
27:45You know I'll always.
27:50Have respect for you.
27:55Respect.
27:58Oh, well then.
28:01That is something.
28:07I suppose I shall return to London.
28:14Yes.
28:31So glad the post office is once more open for business.
28:56May I?
29:07Unfortunately, my earlier attempt to make matters clear
29:09was interrupted.
29:12But I am now clear.
29:14I have spoken to James.
29:16And the honest man has told you what?
29:21That indeed you have had a business association.
29:23Anything more was imagined.
29:28Oh, well.
29:30Perhaps you had better sit down.
29:34I am not tired.
29:38Whatever game you are playing, madam,
29:41you will not disconcert me.
29:43Nor will I believe that James is a party to it.
29:48And what will you believe, I wonder?
29:52Let me see
29:53if you are to marry the honest James.
30:00Has he warned you
30:01that he often suffers from insomnia?
30:03How interesting.
30:08So do many people.
30:10They take warm milk and brandy.
30:14No, not James.
30:15The only remedy
30:16is a cool hand to his forehead
30:19and a hard book
30:20placed beneath his neck.
30:22It slows circulation to the brain.
30:25An obscure Japanese treatment.
30:26Suppose you posk him.
30:31How would I know?
30:34Oh, I'm sure you have an imagination.
30:44Good day, Miss Lane.
30:45Thomas, arrange for the carriage
30:58to take Mrs Bryce Coulson
31:00to the station.
31:01She's in her room packing.
31:02She is not, sir.
31:03I beg your pardon?
31:04Mrs Bryce Coulson
31:06has gone out, sir.
31:07Into the street.
31:15What did you say to Dorcas?
31:19A dozen toughen-y stamps.
31:21Something like that.
31:28Celestia.
31:29Be calm.
31:30I've realised what this is.
31:32It is a crisis, a fugue.
31:34It won't last, James.
31:35And I will wait.
31:38What I proposed earlier
31:39is not possible.
31:41I was a fool.
31:42If I am bound to the business
31:46then, of course,
31:48I am still bound to you.
31:50And I can't be.
31:54I have to break off entirely.
31:58The business.
31:59Everything.
32:00But you won't.
32:02You can't afford to.
32:04Your standing would drop like a stone.
32:06I don't care about my standing.
32:08Oh, of course you do.
32:10Stop this now.
32:12I'll be waiting for you
32:13when you come back to your senses.
32:14Don't speak to me
32:15as if I were a child.
32:19You don't own me, Celestia.
32:23I'm not obliged to you anymore.
32:27Obliged?
32:29Well, wasn't there always
32:30a degree of that?
32:31What are you doing?
32:43My stock.
32:47My percentage
32:48in every one
32:49of the London hotels.
32:53I sign over my stock
32:54to you.
32:55But that's absurd.
32:58Ten years of work,
33:00thousands of pounds,
33:01gone just like that.
33:02Yes, yes.
33:03Damn it.
33:09Take the hotels
33:10and leave me
33:12just one.
33:14This one small hotel.
33:16Count to sign it.
33:25Go on.
33:26Take the lot.
33:29She means that much.
33:30You've got it in all
33:37of you, young Laura.
33:38What's that?
33:39Whatever it is,
33:41going around disrupting.
33:43Even in my case,
33:45I could have him.
33:46In spite of his muscles,
33:48I could knock his block off.
33:50Only I would never want
33:51to offend your ma.
33:52Yeah, yeah.
34:12Laura?
34:14What are you doing here?
34:19Miss Lane has sent me away.
34:21Wait.
34:24If she's sacked me, Ma.
34:29Cousin Torkus.
34:32She wouldn't.
34:35Makes no sense.
34:38What on earth have you done?
34:41I don't know how to explain.
34:47What's going on?
34:48She says Torkus has let her go.
34:50She's sacked her.
34:52But I don't believe that,
34:53Avdorkus.
34:55Especially not after what she said.
34:57My job.
35:00Shh.
35:01My job.
35:02Calm down.
35:04Shh.
35:06Look, I know,
35:08as well as your ma,
35:11that Avdorkus wouldn't do that.
35:13Not without warning.
35:15Not without talking to your ma first.
35:17Torkus.
35:18Shh.
35:19Shh.
35:19Shh.
35:35Quite a day.
35:38Torkus.
35:38Torkus.

37:14a life with a woman
37:17you denied her and you have made an utter fool of me
37:21I lied to you I admit it
37:23but only to keep you
37:24listen to me
37:25we were more than business partners

40:22yes
40:25yes

40:44what could I do
40:44I know
40:46I know
41:16Mrs. Bryce Coulton.
41:47It has come as a shock to find myself so used.
41:52But I came to say that my relationship with Mr. Dowland is over.
41:58He is yours for the taking.
42:01Congratulations.
42:07You have a great acclaim on this.
42:09Yes.
42:13What I would ask for only is discretion.
42:17Candleford is a small town.
42:19I am already the subject of speculation and...
42:22James has made his choice.
42:25He has made it clear what he wants and it is no longer me.
42:29You have James Dowland's heart.
42:31That is most sure.
42:35If he even has a heart.
42:37Oh, you know full well he has a heart.
42:40But he also has a body.
42:43He is a man.
42:44With a man's needs.
42:47Why shouldn't he have done what he did?
42:50What do you want?
42:51A plaster saint?
42:52Trust is what I want.
42:55It's what I expect.
42:58To know that I can trust a person.
43:00Trust?
43:01Yes.
43:03There is no such thing.
43:05Nothing.
43:07No one is trustworthy.
43:10I very much disagree.
43:13Oh, I have lived.
43:14And let me tell you, it is not possible to know another human being fully.
43:20Especially a man.
43:22There is no such thing as...
43:25Certainty.
43:27To throw one's lot in with a man is...
43:31Necessarily...
43:33To risk.
43:39Oh, well.
43:40Even when the whole game's up...
43:46We survive.
44:10Where's Laura?
44:21Isn't she down yet?
44:23Down?
44:24She isn't coming down, Mum.
44:27Why not?
44:27Is she ill?
44:29No, Mum.
44:31Remember, you sacked her.
44:35Sacked?
44:35Oh, she thought.
44:43Oh, poor Laura.
44:46Oh, shame on me thinking only of myself.
45:05Ain't that my luck, Rose, boy?
45:24Queenie.
45:26Dear Queenie.
45:31See, you belong here.
45:33Ah, you must have sensed something was afoot.
45:43Come on.
46:00Come on.
46:01Come on.
46:01Come on.
46:01Come on.
46:01Come on.
46:01Come on.
46:02Come on.
46:02Come on.
46:02Come on.
46:02Come on.
46:03Come on.
46:33Come on.
46:34Come on.
46:35Come on.
47:03Ladies and gentlemen, the intention to marry of Mr. Thomas Turrell and Miss Victoria May
47:20Warriner.
47:24The bands be up.
47:27There's to be a wedding and a wedding breakfast.
47:33Sausages, a great maiden of sausages.
47:49Congratulations, Queenie Twister.
48:03Laura.
48:05Laura, there has been a terrible misunderstanding.
48:13When I told you to leave, I didn't mean...
48:15I have been distracted and snappish.
48:21But you are essential.
48:25Am I not making myself clear?
48:28Oh, dear.
48:30Laura.
48:32Please come back to work.
48:34Oh.
48:38Yes.
48:40Yes, Miss Lane.
48:42There, you see.
48:45Miss Lane, I thought that what I lost was the biggest, most important thing.
48:50But there's other love.
48:51I'm sure there will be other loves for you, Laura.
48:53No, I mean other kinds.
48:55I mean, I love my life at the post office with you.
49:11Look at this.
49:13My father's birth certificate.
49:15He was two years older than his brother Edmund.
49:17I don't understand.
49:20My father, God rest him, would have been 70 this year, making Edmund only 68.
49:31Pa.
49:35Pa.
49:39Did you change your age for some reason?
49:42Change my age?
49:44Yes, Uncle Edmund.
49:45Did you?
49:46That was a long time ago.
49:47Oh, I did and all.
49:53I was too young to be a stable lad.
49:56But I was a big, strong lad, so I got my age to 17 to get the job.
50:00And have a chill to the girls.
50:02And forgot all about it since.
50:04Ha.
50:06Hang on.
50:08Does that mean I can go back to work?
50:11It may well do.
50:13Only if you want to.
50:15Of course, you're more than welcome to stay here.
50:22That's kind, Joel.
50:23But I've got one for retiring.
50:25Got too much get up and go with me.
50:27Aye, we noticed.
50:29Two years' time, Pa.
50:31Edmund will have left.
50:33There'll be a bit more room.
50:34You come and live with us, then?
50:42Don't worry, son.
50:48I'll help you with your trap.
50:49Miss Margaret, I am guilty of impropriety and deceit.
51:05I spent many hours at the hotel.
51:09Oh, I am unhappily well aware of the reason.
51:13Mrs Bryce calls.
51:15I have deliberately kept from you that I was employed there.
51:19I am ashamed.
51:21Employed?
51:21The three pounds I earned is as blood money.
51:25Employed?
51:26It burns a metaphorical hole in my pocket.
51:30Every penny shall go to the church.
51:33Perhaps the church might see fit to use it for the hire of an organ and an organist at a forthcoming nuptial.
51:39And although it was autumn, it was as if spring fever was in the air.
52:01Some behaved as if they were newly married.
52:03And some who only a day ago had determined that they never would marry.
52:11They once more could sense the pull of nature.
52:22I spoke in haste.
52:25It's my one weakness.
52:29I closed the door on you and...
52:31I'm less certain of that decision.
52:38But...
52:39To be sure...
52:42I need some time.
53:01I can sue.
53:15I can sue.
53:19I can sue...
53:20I can sue.
53:24I can sue.
