Short filmTranscript
00:00The last few days of summer were a time of headiness and plenty, and while the Larkry's
00:10men brought home the harvest, in Candleford, Constable Patterson was also toiling, smug
00:18in the expectation of his annual triumph at the Candleford harvest show.
00:26The annual show brought about another yearly episode, Mrs Patterson's deathbed.
00:56The last few days of summer, Mrs Patterson's deathbed.
01:26Cash prize?
01:29Biggest potato?
01:31Biggest potato.
01:32Oh, take it away.
01:35I can hardly bear a look at food.
01:38Just maybe a bite of Bambry cake.
01:40There you go, Lisbeth.
01:42You must rue the day you married such a poor, weak apology for a woman.
01:48Not at all, Lisbeth.
01:50Now, I'll be in the garden if you need me.
01:52Of course you will.
01:53I'll sit with you if you like.
01:55Oh, you'll only keep me awake.
01:56Well, I'll just...
01:57At least, you'll have plenty of time for gardening when I'm gone.
01:58Now, Lisbeth.
01:59Of course, when I am.
02:00No need to waste your time grieving.
02:03A police constable must have a wife.
02:06And you have my permission to get yourself another without delay.
02:10And you have my permission to get yourself another without delay.
02:13Don't talk like that, Lisbeth.
02:14Don't talk like that, Lisbeth.
02:17No.
02:18I'll just...
02:19At least...
02:20You'll have plenty of time for gardening when I'm gone.
02:20Now, Lisbeth.
02:21Of course, when I am.
02:23No need to waste your time grieving.
02:26A police constable must have a wife.
02:30And you have my permission to get yourself another without delay.
02:34Don't talk like that, Elizabeth
02:42Oi!
02:51Ow!
02:54Ow!
02:56What are you doing here?
02:58I thought you were out in the fields this week
03:00Horvath's in now, I'm back with your pa
03:02Just waiting for him and, you know
03:04Reading
03:05Think about the Candleford Harvest Show
03:08With its best produce and preserves
03:10Its prizes
03:12Its home baking
03:13Oi! You two!
03:19Hourless?
03:21Got my eye on you
03:22I seen you, loitering
03:24What do you think loitering?
03:26Just reading a poster is all
03:27Reading? Oh yes
03:30Thinking of entering, were you?
03:31I might, it's a free country
03:34Might take one of them blue ribbons off you this year as well
03:37Two shillings cash price for the biggest tater
03:41A fella from Larkrise might find a use for that
03:44Need a garden to grow taters in young Arlis?
03:47Last time I looked your family didn't even have a house
03:50There are plenty of fine gardens in Larkrise, Constable Patterson
03:54Is that so miss?
03:56And I've been watching you on that dandy horse of yours and you're a public hazard
04:02I shall be filing a report
04:04A 사실 report
04:06trick of burning
04:12Perils!
04:13Mouse! Mouse!
04:16Mouse! Mouse!
04:17The polluting noise
04:18Touch me
04:28...is all...
04:33Oh dear.
04:36A tedious addendum to provincial life.
04:44Can I help you, Constable Patterson?
04:47I...
04:49I...
04:52...just wondered if I could be of any...
04:58Oh!
05:00Oh, I beg pardon, Marm.
05:02I was...
05:07Ladies?
05:12Now, Miss Ellison, was it four yards of the plain grey war stood at Ruby?
05:28Hello there.
05:33Look who was waiting to meet us on the road.
05:37Again.
05:39Evening, Al.
05:40Evening, Mrs Timmons.
05:42Alfie was just telling me about the Harvest Home dinner up at Old Monday's farm.
05:46Sounds about earning one of ours.
05:48It was quite some spread.
05:49Twister went without his tea Saturday night just so he could do it justice.
05:53Old Monday thinks one good meal makes up for paying starvation wages the rest of the year.
05:57Well, Mr Timmons, I'm hoping that next year I'll be there to take advantage for myself.
06:02No, Nan, I told you.
06:04They don't let you bring your girl, they're just wives and...
06:08Oh.
06:13Alfie ain't planning on being in the fields next year, Nan.
06:16I got these today.
06:19Indenture papers.
06:21We'll get you signed up as an official apprentice.
06:25No more field work for you then, Alfie, eh?
06:28Um...
06:30No.
06:32Oh, well.
06:33Looks like I have to be content with the show in Candleford.
06:36Cabbage Patterson strutting round like a peacock with his prizes.
06:41You never know.
06:42It might be someone else's turn this year.
06:44No.
06:49I'm certain if the jelly doesn't restore you, then the fudge surely will.
06:53I told him I don't want no visitors.
06:58But as a neighbour I felt...
06:59You think that noise is bad? You want to hear him snoring?
07:10Mrs. Patterson, I know you are feeling poorly and...
07:14I know it must be difficult with your husband so busy, but...
07:18Perhaps a little fresh air and company would help.
07:21It would be wonderful if you were well to come to the show this year.
07:25And I'm sure your husband would...
07:26Oh, you're sure?
07:30You know...
07:33Why are you such an expert on my life, Dorcas Lane?
07:38It ain't like everything in yours is so perfect you've got time to stick your nose into mine.
07:45No.
07:47I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
07:51Oh, can't a woman even die in peace?
07:57I live in mortal fear of seeing another one.
08:01Hm. Of course all this doesn't help.
08:03Next year we shall decorate with wax comestibles, all to get them more refined.
08:08Now, what is the word en la saison nouvelle?
08:11Everything all right there, ladies?
08:14Oh, good lord.
08:16Constable Patterson, we are closed.
08:18Window dressing.
08:20Oh, yes, ma'am.
08:22Sorry, I'm...
08:24Yes, it's unusual for your blinds to be drawn at this hour, that's all.
08:29I just wanted to check that nothing was amiss after this morning's upset.
08:35Oh, that's thoughtful of you.
08:39Isn't it, sister?
08:41Indeed.
08:43Oh, and I bought this.
08:54Oh, my.
08:55We've got a lot of them this year.
09:07We want it to go to waste.
09:09Oh.
09:10What a neighbourly gesture.
09:15I've promised to dance easy to two of the young smiths and three to the witchers boy.
09:22That's nice.
09:23Take care.
09:24It is very, very hot.
09:25You see why I couldn't do this at the rectory with all those chillies?
09:26What a neighbourly gesture.
09:31I've promised to dance easy to two of the young smiths and three to the witchers boy.
09:36That's nice.
09:38Take care.
09:39It is very, very hot.
09:40You see why I couldn't do this at the rectory with all those children?
09:56The Harvest Show would not be the Harvest Show without Miss Ellison's apple bramble jelly.
10:01Next year it shall be Mrs Brown's apple bramble jelly.
10:05And I shall be making it in our very own kitchen.
10:10I shall be making it.
10:11I shall be making it.
10:17Laura.
10:19The butcher's boy has a brother in the army.
10:21He should be home for the show.
10:22He's ever so handsome and he's seen a tiger and everything.
10:26Oh, Minnie.
10:28I ain't even decided if I'm going yet.
10:30Oh, Laura.
10:32There was a story in Miss Ruby's magazine about this beautiful young woman
10:36who was so broken hearted she shut herself away and didn't even notice when...
10:39Everything all right, ladies?
10:40Yes, it is, Mum.
10:42It's fine, Minnie.
10:44I'm just going upstairs to read my book.
10:47Oh.
10:48So am I, Laura.
10:49So am I.
10:50I have been looking forward to it all day.
10:52Now, your mother had wise words for me and this for you.
10:57She's so good at making them.
10:58Did you see Mrs. Patterson?
10:59Did she like the treats?
11:00No.
11:01I'm afraid I was wrong, Laura.
11:02It would appear that this year Mrs. Patterson's illness is not something that can be cured with treats.
11:16I got something to show you.
11:20Something that'll wipe the smoke off Cabbage Patterson's face.
11:26You remember them taters everyone grew a while back?
11:29What would I call them?
11:30Massive things.
11:31When I was little they used to weigh them outside the wagon and horses to see you grown the biggest.
11:35What, white elephants?
11:36Oh, terrible things.
11:38Tasted of nothing.
11:39Boiled away to mush when you cooked them.
11:40Big though.
11:42Yes, they were big.
11:43Well, my pa never dug ours up.
11:46We went off to sea and my ma weren't much of a gardener.
11:49Look.
11:52That's them all right.
11:54Look at the size of this one.
11:56I don't know why you're all excited about those things.
12:00A nice ash leaf kidney.
12:02Or an early rose.
12:04Two shillings at the Canalford show, Emma.
12:06Said so on the poster.
12:07Satisfaction of seeing Cabbage lose.
12:10A bonus.
12:11I told you reading was worth it.
12:12So you just clean up around here and...
12:14Robert.
12:16This isn't Alf's garden anymore.
12:19They're his taters.
12:21He could have been carrying off plants from his garden all year round.
12:22I know.
12:24But if the landlord comes...
12:26He never does.
12:27I'm just sick of the way that paider is with me, Emma.
12:31Talks to me like I'm nothing.
12:33Less than that.
12:35Name's Ireland so you never amount to nothing.
12:41Just don't get yourself caught.
12:45And see if you can find anything in there actually worth cooking.
12:48He's been here again hasn't he?
13:04What is it this time?
13:07Damsons, Victorias, carrots and leeks, onions, potatoes.
13:11These plums are absolutely delicious.
13:15I might have another one actually.
13:16Oh for goodness sake.
13:18What are we supposed to do with all of this?
13:20And?
13:22Look.
13:23Look.
13:30This is too much.
13:35Paul, what are you doing? You love dahlias.
13:37Oh Ruby, my dear.
13:39You are such an innocent.
13:41What would you do without me to protect you from...
13:44From what?
13:48From vegetables?
13:54What are you doing?
13:56I think it's time I made Elizabeth Patterson some soup.
14:09Just be gentle there.
14:12Too much weight behind the hand.
14:13And the stone.
14:23Mind on that girl of yours instead of the job in hand, are you?
14:26Sorry, I...
14:28I don't know what's the matter with you.
14:30Not to worry son.
14:32Bound to be rusty after time away in the fields.
14:43Miss Pearl.
14:44I brought some soup for your wife.
14:59Constable.
15:01The gifts you have brought us.
15:02The produce.
15:04Don't mention it ma'am.
15:05It's my pleasure.
15:06They have to stop.
15:07What?
15:08It is too much.
15:09It attracts mice.
15:10What do you need for that ma'am?
15:12Constable Patterson.
15:22Everything my sister and I have here in Candleford, we have worked for.
15:26No husband, no family to help.
15:28We have achieved through diligence, hard work and spotless reputation.
15:32All the more admirable for that ma'am.
15:36Reputation for a woman is a precarious thing and these gifts, these...
15:39Neighbourly gestures is all.
15:43I may be many things, Constable, but I am not stupid.
15:46I see no neighbourly gestures to the ironmongers or the forge
15:49and there were none to us when your wife was hale and hearty.
15:52You may be capable of self-delusion, Constable Patterson,
15:55but there is no deluding me.
15:59A man cannot help his feelings, Miss Pearl.
16:01Perhaps not, but he can keep them to himself.
16:04I meant nothing dishonourable, ma'am. Nothing improper.
16:08Were you not a married man?
16:10No doubt my sister would be flattered by your attentions,
16:13but even if you mean nothing improper by it,
16:16I cannot allow you to risk Ruby's happiness.
16:19It ain't Miss Ruby, ma'am.
16:20Miss Ruby, ma'am.
16:22What?
16:23Them feelings I spoke of.
16:26They ain't for Miss Ruby, ma'am.
16:30They're for you.
16:34Aye.
16:37That's disgusting.
16:38I forbid you to...
16:42I... I...
16:44Oh...
16:45Oh
17:15I've just seen two of them in the kitchen
17:26I'll get the poker
17:30Yes, white elephants
17:40What?
17:42Them big tasteless mushy things
17:45It's not the taste that matters, Laura
17:47It's the weight
17:48And white elephants are heavy
17:50Where do I sign up?
17:52Right here
17:53Under Constable Patterson
17:56Good morning, Constable Patterson
18:02And I'll take a penny stamp
18:04With that, please, Laura
18:06Can I help you?
18:10My C catalogue's in, yeah
18:11No, sorry, I haven't seen them yet
18:14Constable Patterson
18:16I hope your wife gets better soon
18:20Oh, yes
18:23And when they found her
18:28Quite dead
18:31And cold as stone
18:33She was still there
18:37By the window
18:40Quite alone
18:42Never to know
18:45That her one true chance of love
18:48Had passed her by
18:50Oh, for goodness sake, Ruby
18:53Stop filling the child's head with that codswallop
18:56Minnie
18:57Doesn't Miss Lane have any work for you to do?
18:59Yes, Mum
19:00She sent me out for some tack and thread
19:02Can you imagine it, Mum?
19:07Not to know him when she saw him
19:08To miss out on her only chance of life
19:12Minnie!
19:13Oh, no!
19:38Oh, no!
19:38It was the only one that survived, Mum
19:45Heartless so-and-so
19:47Didn't even put a stone in it
19:48Not even the compassion to do it properly
19:51Oh, dear, that's awful
19:53But I, I, uh
19:55Don't think my sister and I will be able to
19:58Don't think we'll be able to do what, Ruby?
20:02Constable?
20:03Mum?
20:04This lovely little kitten needs a home
20:06I, uh
20:12I thought it might help with a
20:13Mouse problem, Mum
20:15But I, I understand if you
20:18Don't
20:18Thank you
20:20It's a very kind thought
20:22Ruby, my dear
20:23Would you find the old blanket with the scorch mark on it?
20:29Oh
20:30I, I don't really like cats
20:36Do you like mice?
20:40No
20:41I wouldn't have come, Mum, if I hadn't found him
20:52But I wanted to apologise for my behaviour
20:57My
20:59Outburst
21:01We won't speak any more about it, Constable
21:04It's forgotten already
21:05Thank you, Mum
21:08This little fellow will give my poker a rest
21:12As though your skills with the poker were most impressive, Mum
21:16Um, uh, sorry, I...
21:20Where did you find him?
21:23Oh, it was on the, uh
21:28The old mill stream on the road to Fordlow there
21:33Uh, you know, by the little, uh
21:36Little copse of trees there
21:38I
21:39I walk there most days to
21:43Point duty in back
21:46I know it, I know it very well
21:47By coincidence, it is the way I sometimes walk myself
21:51Seven years on apprentice wages
21:58There ain't no chance of us getting a home, is there?
22:02Starting a family
22:03It's a long time, I know
22:05But if I can better myself
22:07Get a craft, a stonemason like Robert
22:10Well, that's going to be worth it
22:12I suppose
22:13This is a chance for me to make something of myself
22:17Build a better life
22:20I like this life
22:24I was born to it
22:26So was I, but
22:28This is my chance
22:31Where are you going?
22:42I'll tell you when you catch me
22:44Oh, uh, and this one here, a mugwort
22:57En français, armoise
23:00Armoise
23:02Sounds much nicer like that, don't it?
23:05It is
23:05A very elegant language
23:07Indeed, ma'am, it is
23:09Oh, I do love this time of year
23:14Everything's so
23:15Ripe
23:17Who do I, ma'am?
23:24I should go
23:25My sister will be wondering where I am
23:27But it has been a very pleasant chance encounter
23:30Constable Patterson
23:32Your knowledge of local flora
23:34Is unsurpassed
23:35I'll walk back with you, ma'am
23:38I'm going back myself
23:39Perhaps not
23:41There are vicious tongues in Candleford
23:43Who would take
23:44Even the most innocent of encounters
23:46And just
23:48Hey, what are you up to?
23:54I was just looking for a seat
23:55Coaching, is it?
23:56Yeah, I know you're tight
23:57No
23:58Alfie?
24:00Is everything all right?
24:02Now go on
24:02Let's be off with you
24:03Before I lock you up
24:05And stay out of these woods
24:07There's traps set in here
24:10It's all right, ma'am
24:22They're gone
24:23Just some
24:25Lark-Roy's riffraff
24:27Do they see me?
24:28I don't think so, ma'am
24:29Thanks to your
24:32Admirably quick reactions, ma'am
24:35But I shall investigate further
24:37If necessary
24:37Oh, dear
24:39You're, you're, you're all
24:41Some people have the most
24:45Wicked minds, Constable Patterson
24:48They would see wrongdoing
24:50In any situation
24:53Even one as blameless as
24:55Oh, oh my
25:00Oh, I can't believe
25:02I'm so sorry
25:05Oh, Miss Pearl
25:08No, no
25:27You don't
25:29You didn't
25:37Oh, oh, you did
25:40You horrible little beast
25:42Go away
25:43Oh, oh
25:46I'm sorry we're closed
25:48Uh, Pearl
25:53We have got to get rid
25:55Of that thing
25:56You won't believe
25:56What it's just done
25:57To the blue silk I cut
25:58Oh, my word
26:00What happened to you?
26:01Oh, don't fuss, Ruby
26:03I slipped by a bramble bush
26:05That is all
26:06Oh, dear
26:08Poor you
26:10You and nature
26:13Have never really
26:13Seen eye to eye
26:14Have you?
26:16Really can't think
26:16Why you wanted to go
26:17For a walk in it
26:18I'd put that thing down
26:22If I were you
26:23Oh, I don't know
26:24I think nature's
26:27Rather growing on me
26:28Be dark soon
26:46No, you're right
26:48Just stir around these a bit more
26:51You're like my pa
26:53He'd say you got to tickle Mother Earth
26:56To make her yield
26:57I reckon he's got the point
26:58I had to tidy up a bit myself
27:04Don't know why
27:06That's a large job now, isn't it?
27:10Well, it must be hard to see it
27:12All neglected
27:13Breaks my heart
27:15And that's the truth, Nan
27:16Oh, Alfie
27:18It's good seeing you here, though
27:22Feels right somehow
27:24Feels right being here
27:26You'd want curtains
27:32In a nice cheerful colour, wouldn't you?
27:35Well, I reckon you would
27:36Maybe a nice honeysuckle
27:38Round the door
27:39My favourite
27:41Get out of there, quick
27:44Landlord
27:45Cabbage pats
27:46Cabbage pats
27:46You found them
27:52Thank you
27:54Oh, these children of mine
27:56Honestly
27:58You never know where they're going to hide things
28:00Evening, Hudson
28:01Mum
28:02Just a minute, young artist
28:04Won't mind a chat
28:06Round the man
28:07As it were
28:09It's all right, ladies
28:11Go on
28:11I'll wait
28:12Nothing to worry about, miss
28:14We won't be long
28:16I'm not one to stand in the way of love's young dream
28:20Come on, Nan
28:21Been doing a spot of gardening?
28:25Looking for Mrs Timmons' things, is all
28:27It's looking good in here
28:29Better than it's looked for a long time
28:31In fact, better than it looked when your ma was living here
28:35Is it?
28:36I don't take much notice of them things
28:38Yet your name is in the book for the Candleford Harvest show
28:42Funny, that
28:43I wonder what the landlord might think
28:46Might get the wrong end of the stick
28:48You can't prove nothing
28:49Me?
28:51Nothing to do with me
28:52The way I see it is, um
28:55I don't see it
28:58Sometimes that's best
29:04Don't you think?
29:08Not to see it?
29:13Don't want to cause any upset if you don't have to
29:15Yes?
29:22Reckon?
29:25Good lad
29:26Well
29:28Been nice to have some healthy competition
29:31I'll see you at the show
29:33They are extraordinary
29:40I think they should go in prior to place
29:41Good morning
29:44I have the entrance to the harvest show here
29:48It should give you an idea of the numbers in each class
29:51Though there are always one or two extras
29:53Thank you
29:53Are you well?
29:55Yes, you?
29:57Of course
29:57Good morning, Miss Lane
30:00Miss Ruby, good morning
30:07Are you alone?
30:09I do hope Miss Pearl is not unwell
30:10My sister is hale and hearty, Miss Lane
30:13And taking breakfast with a cat
30:16A cat?
30:19Constable Patterson rescued a kitten
30:21He thought it might help with the harvest mice
30:22Really?
30:25Yes, it will
30:26It's the best thing for it
30:28We have a cat who lives in the forge
30:29Yes, Miss Lane
30:30The forge
30:31Not the house
30:31Not the shop
30:32Not on the kitchen table
30:33At breakfast
30:34Hair everywhere
30:35And I'm sure it has fleas
30:36Couldn't eat a bite
30:38We shall starve to death
30:40At this rate
30:41Don't people surprise you
30:43I must say
30:45I wouldn't have expected Pearl to become so attached
30:48Who knows what to expect from her at the moment
30:52I spoke to the young Larkwise fellow
31:00Ain't nothing to worry about on his account, ma'am
31:03Thank you
31:04True gallant
31:06Might you be taking a walk out that way again?
31:25Well
31:26It is a pleasant walk
31:29Perhaps even
31:31This afternoon
31:34You're so beautiful, Miss Pearl
31:45What?
31:47Oh, sorry
31:48You must have heard it a million times
31:50No
31:50Not
31:52Quite a million
31:53Au revoir
32:00Au revoir
32:03Rupi
32:18I didn't hear you come in
32:22How could you?
32:23Oh
32:23How could I what?
32:31An assignation
32:32Don't be silly, Ruby
32:35Don't, don't be silly, Ruby
32:36Me, that man is married
32:38Do you know
32:40What this could do to us?
32:42What woman is going to want to buy
32:44A dress from a
32:46From a husband-stealer
32:50Ruby
32:50You
32:51Of all people
32:52You've always been so careful
32:55So afraid of scandal
32:56Yet you're willing to risk everything we've worked for
33:00For
33:00For
33:00For
33:02Gamage Patterson
33:03Don't call him that
33:04Everyone calls him that and you know it
33:06Although it would seem his interest extend a little further than we thought
33:09Don't be tawdry, Ruby
33:10It isn't like that
33:11Not at all
33:12A friendship
33:14Elizabeth herself has said that she wants him to remarry when she's gone
33:18When she's gone
33:19Elizabeth Patterson is no older than you
33:24She rests for two months a year eating soup and wine jelly
33:27That woman is probably going to live for
33:29Oh, what's happened to you
33:34You're always telling me that I'm naive
33:38But
33:39This
33:40What's happened
33:42Is that somebody cares for me, Ruby
33:46Somebody makes me happy
33:49I had resigned myself to living life without these feelings
33:55But it is impossible
33:58You must see that
34:02Oh
34:05Please don't go
34:09Please
34:11Please give it up
34:13I can't
34:17You must tell me
34:26You mustСп PT
34:39Give it to me
34:40Jesus
34:41The
34:41Jesus
34:42The
34:42Jesus
34:43The
34:44Jesus
34:45The
34:45Jesus
34:46Oh, my God.
35:16Oh, my God.
35:46Need anything?
35:51Where have you been?
35:56Just the garden.
35:57Oh, my God.
36:28She's not here, I'm afraid.
36:29Can I help?
36:30Do you know where she is?
36:31No.
36:33We don't live in each other's pockets, you know.
36:37Oh, Ruby.
36:37Constable Patterson?
36:47Are you there?
36:49Hello?
36:50Hello?
36:52Mrs Patterson?
36:59You're better.
37:00Am I?
37:03I ain't decided about that yet.
37:06May as well give thee some care and attention while I'm here.
37:15Don't look like anyone else is bothering.
37:19Seems so that his mind elsewhere of late.
37:22Constable Patterson's been really worried about you.
37:27You think so?
37:29Of course.
37:30I've seen you looking up at my window.
37:42Why do you do that?
37:44I suppose I was just wondering about you, that's all.
37:51I suppose I...
37:53I wondered if you were sad.
37:56Well...
38:02Ain't no one ever asked me that one before.
38:06The worst of it, Miss Lane, the very worst is not a scandal, although we will be ruined
38:20when this gets out.
38:22The worst is knowing that my sister will be so hurt.
38:30But she will, won't she?
38:33There can be no happy outcome to this.
38:36It is hard to think of one.
38:39I want to help her.
38:41To save her from her folly.
38:43But she won't listen.
38:47I will talk to her.
38:49It's all I can do.
38:49No, Dorcas, she mustn't know I told you.
38:51She'd never forgive me.
38:54Very well.
38:57There is someone else to whom I can speak.
39:00Leave it to me.
39:02You try to rest and save your strength.
39:04You don't have any strength.
39:08Pearl has always been strong for both of us.
39:11Oh, Ruby.
39:14You do have strength.
39:17And your sister is going to need it.
39:19Going to the harvest show?
39:33I ain't decided yet.
39:36Oh.
39:38Missing your fella.
39:40The clock lad.
39:42Ain't much gets past me.
39:44We probably weren't right for each other.
39:48Well, better you see it now, love.
39:53It's better that than walking down the aisle with all your hopes and dreams.
40:00And next you know you're standing in a garden in your nightdress, wondering how you got there.
40:05And why you can't hardly remember the people that either of you were.
40:11But you must still be those people.
40:15Inside, I mean.
40:16I used to be so full of life.
40:21And look at me.
40:24A sad old shell that curls up into a ball because you can't bear the thought of another year gone by with nothing changed.
40:33You're not a sad old shell.
40:36You ain't even old.
40:37You're...
40:39I'll tell you what, ma'am.
40:42I'll go to the harvest show if you will.
40:50Why not?
40:56Oh.
40:59Please came for your husband.
41:08If you see him before I do, will you tell him something?
41:12Of course.
41:13You tell him.
41:16I ain't dead yet.
41:24There's gossip and slander, Miss Lane.
41:28Slander, Miss Lane.
41:30May I remind you it's a criminal offence?
41:34Constable Patterson.
41:36I am trying to be as sensitive as I can.
41:39But the fact remains that whether you choose to acknowledge it here or not,
41:43we both know the truth of this matter.
41:46And I am asking you to protect not only Miss Pratt's reputation, but your own.
41:51As a policeman, you...
41:52Yes?
41:53Yes?
41:53Sorry, Miss Lane.
41:58I just need your signature on this.
42:00Thank you, Laura.
42:02Constable Patterson.
42:04Mum.
42:05Did you get your catalogues?
42:06I left them with your wife.
42:09What?
42:10You've been home.
42:13She seems so much better, sir.
42:16She's up and about.
42:18And she might be attending the harvest show and everything.
42:22She said that?
42:25Thank you, ma'am.
42:27What else did she say?
42:29Oh.
42:30She said to tell you she ain't dead yet.
42:33She said you'd know what that meant.
42:35She knows.
42:48She knows.
42:54Constable Patterson.
42:56If you care anything for Pearl and her future at all,
43:00you know what you have to do.
43:05All right.
43:15I'm going to record this life.
43:17What's wrong?
43:22What's wrong?
43:27What's wrong?
43:29The Weekly Chronicle, you're the tower of London.
43:58What are you doing in here?
43:59I just thought I'd take a look.
44:06When I lived here, this was just a pattern.
44:11I never really thought of it as words.
44:15You've achieved a lot, Alf.
44:20You should be proud of yourself.
44:23I can't do it, Robert.
44:25I can't wait seven years to be a stone mason.
44:28It was a nice dream but I need to own a living now.
44:34Own a lot better if you wait.
44:38It's not just about that, Robert.
44:40It's who I am.
44:42I've been on the land since I was 12.
44:44And it seeps into you somehow.
44:51I hate the thought of never feeling the weight of a plough shaft as it cuts a clean straight
44:56furrow again.
44:57Looking out across a field of grain.
45:03Breathing in the weather and knowing that tomorrow is going to be just the day to harvest.
45:09There are things I want to do, Robert.
45:15So many things, but I need a man's wage to do them on.
45:23I hope I haven't disappointed you.
45:27I am truly grateful for all you've done for me.
45:36Of course you ain't.
45:45I respect the man who loves his craft.
45:52How are them white elephants coming along?
45:55Massive.
45:56Come and have a look.
45:58Now you're talking.
46:03What will you do if you win them two shillings?
46:08Save it.
46:29You wanted to see me, Miss Lane.
46:31Do you have something for me?
46:37Someone actually, not something.
46:43Please come through.
47:02We've had it, Pearl.
47:05She knows.
47:08I don't know how it happened, but she knows.
47:10You told her, didn't you?
47:13You told Elizabeth Patterson.
47:15My own sister.
47:16You just couldn't bear to let me have my one little moment of happiness.
47:22No, I didn't, Pearl.
47:28I promise.
47:29How?
47:30You told her, too.
47:31Didn't you?
47:32How many others?
47:33Did you place a notice in the Canterford News?
47:35Everything I've done for you, Ruby.
47:36And you do this to me.
47:38I didn't tell Elizabeth Patterson.
47:39Oh, please.
47:40No one has told Mrs. Patterson, but she is at this very moment.
47:43Ladies?
47:45Mrs. Patterson.
47:46Mrs. Patterson.
47:47Mrs. Patterson.
47:48Mrs. Patterson.
47:49Mrs. Patterson.
47:50Mrs. Patterson.
47:53Mrs. Patterson.
47:54Mrs. Patterson.
47:55How many others did you place a notice in the Canterford News?
47:59Mrs Patterson, but she is at this very moment...
48:09Ladies?
48:11Mrs Patterson.
48:23You look very well, Mrs Patterson.
48:32Miss Pearl.
48:34The soup was delicious.
48:37It did me a power of good.
48:40I've just come to return what's yours.
48:49And I'm trusting you'll be doing the same for me.
48:53I don't know what you mean by that.
48:54Ruby.
49:07Oh, Miss Lane.
49:09The calf's foot jelly.
49:11It was a tonic.
49:12You must think I'm such a fool.
49:28Oh, pal.
49:30You are not the first woman who has loved where she should not.
49:34Nor the last.
49:35I do have my head turned like a silly girl.
49:49I'm sorry, Ruby.
49:50Shhh.
49:51Shhh.
49:52Shhh.
49:53Shhh.
49:54Shhh.
49:55Shhh.
49:56Shhh.
49:57Shhh.
49:59It's alright.
50:01I'm here.
50:03I'm here.
50:04I'm here.
50:05Shhh.
50:06Shhh.
50:07Shhh.
50:15Shhh.
50:16Shhh.
50:17Shhh.
50:18Hello, Elizabeth.
50:37Martha?
50:43Let's do some work in the garden.
50:48Constable Patterson did win first prize for best cabbage.
51:18The Harvest show did bring all of its usual triumphs, but there were others who were newer to success.
51:28And that year's show brought other changes too.
51:46Mrs. Patterson never did take to her deathbed again.
51:53And for some of us younger ones, it was time to move on too.
52:01To let go of the past.
52:08To dance.
52:13To dance.
