00:00To be continued...
00:30Laura, ain't it?
00:34I'm fine.
00:38Before you think it, I didn't roll a turn at you on purpose.
00:41No, I'm sure it was an accident then.
00:45There was a wariness between even the young people of Larkrise and the neighbouring village of Fordlow.
00:51Dear.
00:53Hope you aren't going anywhere fancy.
00:55Only a wedding.
00:57Oh, aye.
00:58Were you postbag?
01:00Oh, naturally, I'll take it off for the service.
01:03It was a feud that had simmered between Larkrise and Fordlow for many years.
01:08It was about to rise to the surface once more, turning neighbour against neighbour and young lovers into enemies.
01:14PIANO PLAYS
01:48Queenie!
01:56Twister!
02:18The longest courtship in the county.
02:31Forty years biding together, but legal at last.
02:35Legal and heaven-blessed.
02:45Queenie.
02:47My wife.
02:49My wife.
02:50And my life.
02:58You might not know this, but I first won my Queenie with a song.
03:04Does anyone know I once loved a lass?
03:10I once loved a lass, and I loved her so well.
03:15I hated all others who spoke of her ill.
03:19And now she's rewarded me well for my love.
03:23For she's gone and she's married another.
03:27Except she hasn't.
03:28LAUGHTER
03:38Turtle doves couldn't kiss more sweetly.
03:42Well, my Tom had a sweet voice even then.
03:46And he had no money to buy Banbury cakes or ribbons.
03:55So how else was a boy to woo?
04:00I held out for a while, of course.
04:02LAUGHTER
04:08There's sausages.
04:10Two apiece.
04:11One for the little ones.
04:12Oh!
04:13I ain't made of money!
04:27Come and pass me the cups to fill.
04:29And shall I taste the mead as I used to as a boy?
04:33And perhaps scrape the bowl clean?
04:35That were your greatest pleasure, wouldn't it?
04:38It was.
04:41I wish I could go back to such simple pleasures.
04:44It's clear that happily married is not for me.
04:49You must have faith.
04:52In what?
04:53Don't give up too easy.
04:55Women hold out.
04:58We pretend to be hard-hearted.
05:00It's only a bit of power we have, so we use it.
05:03But if the love is there, we come round.
05:08Congratulations, Twister.
05:11You're next, Alfie.
05:13Me? Wed?
05:15That'll be the date.
05:16All the girls are either spoken for or away in service.
05:19Or both.
05:20I love you, you too.
05:21Thank you for your time.
05:24I miss.
05:26Bye.
05:28Bye.
05:36The calendar's bust, Mum.
05:38The calendar's bust, Mum.
05:52Did you drop it, Minnie?
05:54Drop it? No, Mum.
05:56No, Mum.
05:59Yes, Mum.
06:02Well done.
06:06It is emotional progress, Minnie.
06:08When we can admit to our mistakes.
06:11Growing up, you might say.
06:13And not just to admit them,
06:15but face others knowing that we have, well, tripped.
06:20Yes, Mum.
06:22I only dropped a calendar, Mum.
06:25Oh, yes.
06:27Poor girl.
06:29And I am dishing out life lessons.
06:30I like them, Mum, your life lessons.
06:33Them I understand.
06:35I may dish them out all too readily,
06:37but I can't claim to understand them all myself.
06:41The person who married them aloud,
06:45he did cry.
06:48All that forbid it,
06:51I'd have you draw nigh.
06:53Thought I, too, myself, I'd have a good reason why,
07:02though I had not the heart to forbid it.
07:07And when I saw my love sit down to meet,
07:15I sat down beside her, but nothing could eat.
07:21I thought her sweet company better than meet,
07:25although she was tied to another.
07:30That was my pa's favourite song.
07:32I'm just learning it from this old book.
07:35Don't stop on my account.
07:37Go on.
07:37You can't play and read at the same time.
07:43There's lines missing.
07:45Tell you what.
07:46I'll sing it.
07:47You sing it back to me.
07:48And when the bridesmaidens had dressed her for bed,
07:56And when the bridesmaidens had dressed her for bed,
08:00I stepped in amongst them and kissed the bride.
08:05I stepped in amongst them and kissed the bride.
08:09And wished that I could have been laid by her side.
08:15And wished that I could have been laid by her side.
08:20And by that means I got me the favour.
08:26You're blushing like a rose.
08:29Well, ain't it a bit near the knuckle?
08:31It's only natural.
08:34So, what happens in the end?
08:37Poor fellow.
08:39He never gets her.
08:41He dies of a broken heart and is quite forgotten.
08:45My pa used to reel the whole thing off.
08:48Said it was the song that was truest to a young man's passion.
08:55Well, I'm going that way.
08:59I'm going that way.
09:01Right enough.
09:03Suppose that's as far as it goes.
09:06I suppose it is.
09:08Lat rise and Fordlough.
09:15We could always meet here again.
09:18Just to learn.
09:19I could teach you the rest of the song.
09:22Tomorrow?
09:24Tomorrow or this evening?
09:26Mr. Downer?
09:40Mr. Downer?
09:40Mr. Downer?
09:42Mum, Mum, look, flowers.
10:06The mechanism seems to be jammed.
10:09They're for you.
10:11Well, I didn't suppose you thought they were for me.
10:17I don't know if we've got a vase big enough,
10:19it might have to be the coal scuttle.
10:24Aren't you even going to read the note, Mum?
10:26Go back to your chores, Minnie.
10:28Mum, you love flowers,
10:30and I ain't seen flowers the likes of them,
10:32and I would be bursting to know what the note says if I was you,
10:34just for the curiosity of it.
10:36Your broom, Minnie.
10:37I'm only saying, Mum,
10:39how can you sleep if you don't know what the note says?
10:41You are a little too concerned with my business, Minnie.
10:43I implore you to clean and cook,
10:45not to counsel me.
10:47a little bit...
10:55...that ins
10:56A ship in sails.
10:59That ins looks like a big Dutch rabbit.
11:02Rabbit?
11:03rabbit.
11:04Rabbit?
11:05They said rabbit.
11:06Hello.
11:17Don't mind us.
11:19Where'd we get back to Larkrise?
11:33How far are this lingering with the Fjordland?
11:36Well, Fox won't think that badly.
11:39Don't reckon?
11:40Why'd you look so discomfited then?
11:43Must be going.
11:46Aye.
11:47Tomorrow?
11:5012 noon.
12:17Why, Alf?
12:19Alf.
12:20Alf, far less.
12:21What?
12:26Pretty, isn't she?
12:28She is, isn't she? Don't you think?
12:30So it's only looks that matter.
12:32No.
12:33Of course not.
12:34Of course not.
12:39You can't keep that smile away from your face, can you?
12:44Can I do this, Laura?
12:46She's from Ford, though, with her.
12:48Of course she can.
12:49If you're inclined.
12:57Alf.
12:59Take care.
13:01Only give away your heart where it's truly yearned for.
13:04I know how it feels if it isn't.
13:07You understand?
13:21If this is married life, we should have done it years ago.
13:25Oh.
13:26Why?
13:27Is it different?
13:29All those years, I had a feeling.
13:34Didn't even know it was there.
13:37A wondering.
13:39Now it's gone and I feel more settled.
13:42Everything settled.
13:44Everything settled.
13:56I'll just empty this and look in on me homes.
14:12Oh!
14:13Oh, no!
14:14The bees are gone.
14:18Look.
14:24Bees.
14:26Bees.
14:32Oh, Emma.
14:33Have you seen my bees?
14:35Bees?
14:36They may be swarmed.
14:37I asked the children if they've seen a cloud of bees go by.
14:41Why?
14:42If I know where they are, I can coax them back.
14:44I'll ask the children.
14:47But they haven't said anything.
14:49Oh.
14:51They might have swarmed when we were in church yesterday.
14:55I didn't visit them last evening.
14:58Ah!
14:59That's what happened.
15:01I bet my life on it.
15:02They ain't swarmed.
15:04They were stolen.
15:06Oh, Twister, no.
15:07Why would...
15:08Think about it.
15:09All of Lackroy's in the church.
15:12Queenie Turrell, the happiest day of her life.
15:15Who would look to ruin that?
15:18Twister don't say such things.
15:20It don't help to blame.
15:22Oh, Twister, they've swarmed.
15:24I've just got to find them.
15:26They were stolen.
15:28Stolen by the lowliest creatures ever to crawl from under a stone.
15:33Fordlow.
15:35There'll be more postal orders in the back room.
15:38Just a moment.
15:45Precision is all, ma'am.
15:48You've been engaged for an awful long time now, Miss Ellison.
15:51Quite a long time, Minnie.
15:52Why, I think you have enough polish there.
15:57Oh.
15:58Yes.
16:04Today is Tuesday the...
16:06Tuesday the 24th.
16:10Oh, don't worry.
16:12Mr Brown will soon be able to set the date.
16:14Oh.
16:16Really?
16:18He's the only one who can do it.
16:20The man's job.
16:22Oh, yes.
16:24Did he say...
16:26Did he say when?
16:28He set his mind on fixing it, so I expect it'll be done soon.
16:30There.
16:32Oh.
16:33Well done.
16:34It's working again.
16:35Minnie, the calendar is unjammed.
16:37Well done.
16:38Well done.
16:40Oh, Thomas.
16:42I thought perhaps you would have to be a good one.
16:44I don't know.
16:46I don't know.
16:48I don't know.
16:50I don't know.
16:51I don't know.
16:53I don't know.
16:55I don't know.
16:57Oh, Thomas.
16:59I thought perhaps you would like to give these flowers to Miss Ellison.
17:02They're your flowers.
17:04Well, for you.
17:05Not long for me to give to Miss Ellison.
17:08As Miss Margaret is only just out of that dreadful cold,
17:10I expect she might appreciate a little cheering up.
17:13Here she is herself, Mum.
17:17I quite forgot the latter part of my errand stamps.
17:22Mr Brown.
17:24Miss Margaret.
17:27Well, if I may.
17:30I happen to come upon as a token.
17:34As a means of uplifting you at a time when uplifting might be.
17:41Let me savour the moment.
17:43May I hint at my favourite month, which is October?
17:56Yes, I like October too.
17:58It is not so soon that all that needs to be done cannot be done.
18:02Nor so far into the year that the weather will have turned.
18:05If the bridesmaids are in light muslin, they may catch a chill.
18:10It's muslin.
18:11The 14th of October I know is a Saturday.
18:21Does it not have an auspicious ring to it?
18:25Saturday the 14th of October.
18:28The 14th of October.
18:31Ah, yes.
18:33Well.
18:35Thomas.
18:37Yes, ma'am.
18:38Mr Riddington would like to know when you will be collecting the parcel you wrongly delivered to him this morning.
18:42And so do I.
18:44Miss...
18:45Mr Rid...
18:48Ah!
18:50The parcel.
18:52I wrongly delivered.
18:53And must be collected.
18:55Today.
18:56Now.
18:59I must...
19:03On your way, Laura.
19:04Oh.
19:05Yes, Miss Lane.
19:07Go, go, go, go.
19:13Ah.
19:16Laura, it's you.
19:18You're a post, Mr Dowland.
19:22Miss Lane hopes you're well.
19:25Did she enjoy her flowers?
19:28She thought they were splendid, sir.
19:31And very...
19:33tropical.
19:35Tropical?
19:37She did not, did she?
19:42I don't think Miss Lane is ready to receive such a gift, sir.
19:48Do you know if she read my letter?
19:51Miss Lane...
19:53She put it aside to read it later, sir.
19:57Ha!
20:02Keep thinking I can hear them coming back up the rise.
20:06But it ain't my bees.
20:10It's just my mind tricking me.
20:13Truth is truth, my dear.
20:16And fact is fact.
20:19Painful as it is to hear, and more so to say,
20:23they ain't coming back.
20:25Lest we go and fetch them.
20:27Well, perhaps we wait another day.
20:30They're in Fordlow.
20:32And we know what's to be derivated.
20:34Twister, I'd rather leave things be.
20:38Please.
20:40And no good can come of accusing folk of what no one can prove.
20:44I will accuse these Fordlands,
20:47and I'll see it in their faces.
20:48What kind of lowly, ugly, sin-rid vermin steals a beekeeper's peace?
20:56Steals the love of our life.
20:59One of the loves.
21:01I'll look at them, and I'll see it.
21:04It's in their eyes.
21:06It's in their blood.
21:08Thieves is bred.
21:10Guilt can't be hid if you know how to look for it.
21:12Twister, why can't you leave me be when I ask you?
21:18You waiting for Alf?
21:22Had to come up anyway, because of the cows.
21:27Alf's a really fine lad.
21:29Everyone in Lark Cries likes him.
21:30Good looking and all, ain't he?
21:31Winsome eyes.
21:33He's very musical too.
21:35You should hear him play.
21:37I did, always.
21:38I did, always.
21:39I did.
21:40I did.
21:41I did.
21:42I did.
21:43I did.
21:44I did.
21:45I did.
21:46I did.
21:47I did.
21:48I did.
21:49I did.
21:50I did.
21:51I did.
21:52I did.
21:53I did.
21:54I did.
21:55I did.
21:56I did.
21:57You should hear him play.
21:58I did, already.
22:00What time is it?
22:02It was twelve o'clock when I set out, so it must be close to one.
22:06I didn't think it had got so late.
22:11I'm sure he'll come then.
22:13I got it.
22:15No.
22:16I didn't have geniuses.
22:17No.
22:18I can't do this, so it can't do it.
22:19I can't do it.
22:20I can't do it, but...
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23Yeah, the door.
22:24No.
22:25I can't do it.
22:26I can't do it.
22:27No!
22:28No.
22:29No.
22:30No.
22:31No.
22:32No.
22:33I don't need to use it.
22:34No.
22:35No.
22:36No.
22:37No.
22:38No.
22:39No.
22:40No.
22:41I've heard tales about Fordlow since I was a child.
22:51What was the start of it?
22:53The start of such bad feelings.
23:01But I only know what I was told.
23:03Queenie's grandma was accused of stealing bees from the hives of a Fordlow beekeeper.
23:13Now, no-one is saying that everyone who ever lived here in Larkrise was saintly.
23:18By God, no.
23:19But not Queenie's grandma.
23:21She was known to be everything that is decent and true.
23:27It wasn't possible.
23:29It was a malicious thing to say.
23:32Born out of jealousy.
23:33Now, it wouldn't have mattered, but the accusation pained her so much.
23:41She was near enough taken down by it.
23:45The poor woman seemed to lose her spirit.
23:49Injustice can bring down a hearty man, let alone a fragile old woman.
23:54Alfie, you owe no debt of duty to Queenie's grandma.
24:00But I do owe Queenie plenty.
24:02I have checked the forthcoming events in the parish.
24:10There's a lot of activity in October, all throughout October.
24:14Every day, the christening of infant Robinson, confessions, confirmations.
24:19Oh, how keen you are to have gone so speedily to the parish diary.
24:26Fear not.
24:27I will speak to the rector.
24:29Oh, how keen you are to have gone so hard.
24:37Oh, I'll see.
24:38Oh, my.
24:38Thank you, Jamie.
24:39Thank you, Amy.

30:56but I saw it
30:58she was jealous
31:01and more prideful of her bees than was good for her
31:05took such a hold of her
31:09burned up her heart
31:12she kept it in but I saw it
31:15she stole those bees away
31:19and no one would ever believe it here in luck rise
31:24and now look what it's doing to us all
31:28doing to young Alfie
31:31I thought it was all in the past
31:37but it isn't
31:39it won't stay there
31:42what are we gonna do Queenie?
31:49I thought it was all night
31:51and now look at the
31:52the
31:53the
31:56and now look at the
31:57and now look at the
32:14I hate to have to say this, but the way things are going, I'm not going to be able to keep you on.
32:26Oh.
32:29I'll pay you to the end of the week.
32:34I understand, Mr. Darren.
32:37I'm sorry. I know you have plans.
32:40I wish you every happiness for the future.
32:46Thank you, sir.
32:51Miss Margaret.
32:54Miss Margaret, will you sit a moment, please?
32:59Oh. Yes.
33:01Miss Margaret, I have something to tell you which will necessarily delay our marriage.
33:13Oh.
33:15Yes, it cannot be helped.
33:18I shall shortly no longer be required at the hotel.
33:22I shall be considerably worse off and cannot in all conscience subject you to a lowering of expectations.
33:29Oh, is that all?
33:34Do you not realize, Thomas, that even were you a very poor man indeed, it would not matter to me.
33:41It would not matter at all.
34:00Oh.
34:02It's the truth, Tom.
34:24But does it have to be?
34:27I mean, can it be a mistake?
34:31The truth is the truth.
34:35We don't have to say it out loud, though, do we?
34:39We do. Now.
34:43Admit it. To them. To Fordlow.
34:49That we're the thieves.
34:53I think it's time, yes.
35:01How am I supposed to walk down the lane with them knowing,
35:07looking at me, thinking?
35:09We'll know we told the truth.
35:11We'll know we did the right thing.
35:15Yes.
35:21I see it.
35:24You're right, my dear.
35:29Perhaps we could do it next year.
35:31Now, Twister.
35:33Now is the time to rid myself of this.
35:45I'll stand beside you, my dear.
35:47If I ain't confined to the house with the rheumatism.
35:51Thomas, I am correct in thinking you're writing a letter.
36:11A letter to Miss Ellison.
36:13I simply wish to illuminate her, ma'am.
36:15To deliver us from her misunderstanding.
36:17Hm.
36:19You may call it illumination, Thomas.
36:21The news alone will break her heart.
36:23I only wish to clarify the reasoning, Miss Lane.
36:25See, when I speak, I fluster.
36:27If I can write it in words with clarity,
36:29then she can see that I mean no harm.
36:31A note, Thomas, in such circumstances is cold.
36:35And to the woman who receives it, cowardly.
36:51If I were her, I would not want to receive a note.
36:57When what was called for was to see in your eyes what you felt.
37:05Your fear.
37:07Your hopes.
37:09To see something true.
37:13Isn't it you, Thomas, who is always telling me we must live life by God's will?
37:27Oh, this is good, Laura.
37:31Here, I have a lifeline.
37:34A booking of 16.
37:36For a fortnight.
37:37To arrive the day after tomorrow.
37:39That does sound good, Mr Dowland.
37:42And there's not a single thing that I can do about it.
37:48I have insufficient staff.
37:51There are no rooms ready.
37:53There's very probably no milk in the pantry.
37:56I don't know.
37:57I haven't checked.
37:58I haven't taken notice of anything for weeks.
38:05Telegraph to them, will you?
38:07Tell them their booking cannot be taken.
38:10That's a shame, Mr Dowland.
38:13Shame's the very word, Laura.
38:19Miss Ellison.
38:21You have such good taste, Miss Lane.
38:25I wondered if you might look at the materials I am considering for my dress.
38:32I have swatches.
38:34Shades of palest dove grey.
38:37Grey can be deceptively attractive.
38:39Don't you think so, Miss Lane?
38:42I prefer things which are a little more transparently attractive.
38:46But, Miss Ellison, dove grey is certainly elegant.
38:50I am a little mature for white.
38:55Miss Margaret.
38:56I have to find a degree of courage here in order to say something to you.
39:08Please, I think it would be best if you were seated.
39:23Oh, yes, ma'am.
39:24The subject is disappointment.
39:25Oh, poor Miss Ellison.
39:26It's just a difficult thing for me to say.
39:30Concerning disappointment?
39:31Yes.
39:32My dear Margaret.
39:37What I have to say to you is that I, I will try my very utmost not to be a disappointment to you.
39:52When we are married on the 14th of October.
40:13What is it, my sweet love?
40:39Is that bad?
40:41Come on.
41:11Mr. Dowling.
41:27Gone nine o'clock, sir.
41:31Is it?
41:34I took it upon myself to see the two sets of guests off, sir.
41:38I suppose they would have expected me to bid them a safe journey.
41:44Well, they were rather puzzled.
41:47I told them that you were not yourself.
41:52Who was I?
41:56Girls?
41:58Archie!
41:59Children!
42:01Queenie!
42:03Have you seen the children?
42:05They were nowhere to be found when I woke up.
42:06Well, our brood had gone on a wall.
42:09What?
42:10Alf.
42:11I've driven Alf away.
42:13Well, Alf can look after himself, but where are the children?
42:17Where have you been?
42:19What are you doing?
42:21Kicking a cabbage!
42:23That's good food!
42:24We went over a fordlow.
42:26We dared do it and we smashed up their gardens.
42:29Where's Twister? You want to tell him?
42:30You did what?
42:31Pulled up the cabbages and made a bit of mess.
42:34Edmund Timmons.
42:37You should have known better.
42:39This is not how you've been brought up.
42:42But Twister said we was at war with Fordlow.
42:44Then Twister is wrong.
42:46That is the food from someone's table.
42:48I don't care who they are.
42:50We must make amends.
42:52I don't care.
43:12Solly, what are you up to?
43:37We're off to a fraud loan to make amends.
43:42There he is, the lock-rights beggar.
44:12We're off to the gardens, will you?
44:14After him!
44:15Come here, you!
44:17Go on, go on!
44:20Enough!
44:25I ain't running away.
44:27Leave him here to talk.
44:28Leave him be!
44:31At one end, the children spoil the gardens.
44:36Don't, Robert.
44:37It's for me to mend.
44:39I came here to speak with Nan Carter.
44:54Nan.
44:55I should have stood up and defended you.
45:05I didn't, and I hate myself for it.
45:09I just want to say, if you'll meet me again, I'd like to see if you and me...
45:16I'd like to get to know you, Nan.
45:22Well, I'd...
45:38I'd like that too.
45:42You have my blessing.
45:53The children wrecked their gardens.
45:57And who can blame them?
45:59I'd like to squeeze up.
46:06At some point, it's time to let bygones be bygones.
46:18To make amends for the spoiled gardens.
46:21Shouldn't have happened.
46:23And it won't happen again.
46:26You're welcome.
46:48You're welcome, Leslie.
46:49You're welcome, Leslie.
46:50Oh, my God.
47:20Miss Lane baked these for you.
47:29Why not?
47:31I haven't had any breakfast or lunch.
47:42Is there any return message?
47:50Thomas, I'm in such a spin.
48:00I know it isn't my place to meddle in Mr Dowland's affairs,
48:03but I can't bring myself to do this,
48:05to go ahead and cancel this booking.
48:10Oh, Minnie.
48:12You look how I feel.
48:14I've never seen a man so undone by pining.
48:17I know he ain't no saint,
48:18and I know he gets what we deserve,
48:20but I do think it's cruel of Miss Lane.
48:21What is cruel of Miss Lane?
48:23Not cruel, Mum.
48:24Did I say cruel?
48:24I didn't mean cruel.
48:25I would never think cruel of you.
48:26You ain't cruel.
48:27Minnie, for heaven's sake, just say it.
48:30Mum.
48:32I can't.
48:32You will only tell me to get out of your sight if I do.
48:34Mr Dowland is pining, ma'am.
48:37And his pining seems to have affected everything he does.
48:41The hotel is...
48:43Floundering.
48:44It's not too great a word for it, ma'am.
48:46And you think this is all my doing?
48:49It is for me to remedy with a cheery visit to Mr Dowland?
48:55Mr Dowland's feelings are his own.
48:58I cannot be responsible for his heart.
49:01If that is cruel, then...
49:02I do not wish to see him suffer.
49:09And I certainly don't wish his business to flounder on account of...
49:13his emotions.
49:29Mr Dowland?
49:30Oh, Marcus.
49:45My staff tell me that you are expecting a large party and that...
49:50you are not properly prepared.
49:55I can't remember whether I have booked any staff.
50:00Nothing seems to stick in my mind at the moment.
50:07Well, might I suggest that you pick yourself up and set to?
50:12We can help you.
50:14But you must tell us what needs to be done.
50:19Could you go to the kitchen and, uh...
50:22see if we have any food?
50:23And perhaps call the residential staff down and, uh...
50:29tell them we have a party.
50:31Oh, Dorcas.
50:47I prayed that you would come.
50:52I hoped that you would come, but I didn't believe it.
50:54Oh, no.
51:18Oh, no.
51:19Dorcas Lane.
51:21Laying tables.
51:23I never thought I would see such a thing.
51:27In my hotel.
51:29Oh, I know my way around a knife and fork.
51:32Dorcas, I thought that I had lost you, lost all hope.
51:37It was the blackest place.
51:40But I'm glad it happened.
51:43It has taught me what it feels like, what it would mean to...
51:47James, stop. You must stop.
51:49I must tell you.
51:49No, I must tell you.
51:51And you must listen.
51:54And you must hear me.
51:59I could not bear to look down the street and see your business come apart...
52:04when you have strived so much to make this life for yourself.
52:09But I must be clear with you.
52:14I cannot stand to see a neighbour struggling.
52:18It is in my nature.
52:19I know my heart well enough now.
52:26I know who I am.
52:29And I know what matters to me.
52:31I will help you today.
52:41And I will help you whenever you need it.
52:42But peace and accord with a natural tendency in those parts...
52:49In a world as small as ours, sometimes it took courage to be a good neighbour.
53:06But peace and accord were the natural tendency in those parts,
53:10so Larkrise welcomed the return of harmony with Fordlow.
53:15Queenie's bees returned as well, of course, as she had said they would.
53:21Queenie knew her bees well.
53:45She looked for her.
53:51While she came up with her, she was also aि
53:53Our Serenity was a wizardry with a hundred graduate켜ge.
53:57She was a mother-in-chief-in-chief-in-chief.
53:59She was found in a decent time in her career.
54:02She was a journalist.
54:03She made her own music.
54:04She was a journalist.
54:05She was a scientist.
54:06She started out with a correspondence from the photographer.
54:08She was a scientist.
54:10She was a scientist.
