Short filmTranscript
00:00That year, there were sudden rains that came out of clear blue skies and drenched us all.
00:09Rich and poor, man and beast.
00:15And I was young enough to imagine that every experience shared with others
00:21must feel the same to all, mean the same to all.
00:26But the same rain that revealed some things obscured others.
00:32And I was to learn that there are as many ways of interpreting a thing as there are people in the world.
00:39It's man.
00:40It's the farmer's son.
00:56This is a story of a lot of people in the world.
01:00It's the farmer's son.
01:02It's the farmer's son.
01:10It's the farmer's son.
01:14It's the farmer's son.
01:16It's the farmer's son.
01:20Miss Lane, there are items of intimate apparel.
01:38Hang in.
01:39In the Sorrenton office.
01:41Yes, sorry, Thomas.
01:42We needed to make room by the fire.
01:44Whoever heard of Rain Lake it, it is biblical.
01:47It certainly left us with a mystery.
01:50Oh, I wonder.
01:54But Miss Lane, I protest.
01:56I cannot be expected to share the workplace with undergarments.
02:00They're only my drawers.
02:04Well, I'll have to get used to it if he's to live with Miss Ellison.
02:08I expect those are nicer.
02:10Their soles, maybe even lace.
02:14Thomas, calm yourself, dry yourself, and return to your duties in that order.
02:17Did you hear that?
02:21Oh, I heard nothing, ma'am.
02:24Perhaps a cat has taken refuge from the rain and become locked in.
02:28Minnie, check the cupboards.
02:29Yes, ma'am.
02:29Robert Westerman, Mason, 1795.
02:51It's a hundred years old.
02:54See?
02:56How could she do it, Mar?
02:58Alf's so happy.
03:00It was dark.
03:02You said yourself you couldn't be sure what you saw.
03:04They were kissing.
03:10A kiss can mean lots of things.
03:12Queenie says if it rains today, it will rain for 40 days after.
03:17Will it be raining on my birthday?
03:19Count the days and see.
03:22Ooh, another Robert.
03:24He was left-handed.
03:25I can tell by the chisel marks.
03:27Did he have any children?
03:28Now, that I can't tell from the chisel marks, although there is a faintness about them, as if the man were permanently exhausted, so I think perhaps he did.
03:42It's going to be raining at Christmas.
03:45No.
03:46See?
03:4740 days is less than seven weeks.
03:50One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
03:54And we're near Christmas.
04:12Miss Margaret.
04:16Stopped raining.
04:18Best be getting back to work.
04:20Robert.
04:20Actually, Robert, it is you I came to see.
04:24Come in.
04:32As you know, I am soon to be married to Mr. Thomas Brown.
04:37And I have been wondering...
04:44I would consider it a great favor if Robert were to give me away.
04:54I call that a privilege, not a favor.
05:04But your father was a man of strong convictions, and his views and mine were often opposed.
05:12But I am a daughter of this parish, and I have long thought of you as a sort of father to those living here, perhaps because you, too, are a man of strong convictions.
05:26You do me a great honor, Miss Ellison, but it is not one to be undertaken lightly, perhaps we should both take a little time to consider.
05:40It is very like, but no, this is not my sister's hand.
05:57Oh, the mystery remains a mystery, then.
06:00I hope Ruby is enjoying her holiday.
06:04Oh, my sister's godmother is an indulgent spendthrift without sense or self-restraint.
06:11I have no doubt Ruby is enjoying herself tremendously.
06:18The envelope.
06:20It is embossed.
06:22See?
06:24The rain has erased the lettering in places, but we may yet be able to make out the centre's name.
06:33Messers.
06:36Thwaite and...
06:38Lyn...
06:39Lyn...
06:39Lyn...
06:39...ton...
06:40Lyn...
06:41...ford...
06:42Lyn...
06:42Lyn...
06:42something...
06:43... wholly illegible.
06:46Halifax, Yorkshire.
06:49Oh, Miss Pearl, you are a triumph.
06:51Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
06:56And Miss Ellison has asked Robert Timmons.
07:01Robert Timmons?
07:02Yes.
07:03Father of Lark Rose?
07:06Robert Timmons.
07:07he don't even come from like rice he's a family man and a strong arm to lean on
07:16that's all miss ellison means and isn't this a strong arm
07:21ain't i a man to be leaned on for the length of a church aisle i've been fathered to this
07:27hamlet since before robert timon's worn napkins don't take on it didn't even decided yet
07:34where you going there are injustices being done in this world that don't bear thinking on
07:42and i ain't gonna stand by i ain't gonna stand by
07:48for messrs thwaite and linley of halifax yorkshire
07:57explaining the situation and asking them for whom their letter was intended
08:03mom you said there was no address for mess mess for them just their names in the town
08:11and therein lies my touch of genius minnie we are going to telegraph our inquiry care of
08:18the post office in halifax i have every confidence that my opposite number there will know his
08:23customers just as well as i know mine
08:26they're a postman i believe as far afield as africa
08:30i like to think of them sometimes a brotherhood separated by geography but united by the postal system
08:39and our heavenly father
08:41well do you ever have such imaginings laura
08:47sorry are you all right
08:51i'm not very hungry

09:08yes ma'am
09:10minnie did you check the cupboards as i asked
09:16i surely did mom
09:18well do so again
09:20there is a creature trapped somewhere i cannot bear to hear it suffer

09:35injustice
09:36abomination
09:39miss ellison didn't told you then
09:42there are only two things that ever spoil my appetite
09:46a troubled mind
09:48and a troubled conscience
09:50have you anything you wish to confess
09:54then i can only conclude it is your mind that is troubled
10:00i saw something today
10:05now i know more about someone's life than they do
10:10don't seem right
10:13sometimes
10:16when a telegram comes containing bad news
10:20i see in my mind's eye the person for whom it is destined
10:25and i feel i am the agent of some terrible destruction
10:31but i am only the messenger
10:40he is such a dear friend
10:44and it will hurt him so much
10:48perhaps it would be best if i said nothing
10:52laura
10:54i can tell you that
10:59to be deceived
11:01to be lied to
11:04and taken for a fool

11:16it was nan i saw
11:23elf's nan
11:26a difficult thing for me to talk to her about
11:34then don't talk

11:43what do you suppose their business is
11:50mr thwaite
11:52and mr lindley
11:53i think they are jewelers
11:55and mr thwaite has a great white beard and takes snuff
11:59i think you'll find it's mr lindley who has the beard
12:02and that they are not jewelers
12:04but tobacconists
12:06perhaps they're both and sell cigars with rings on
12:08many who are lurking without purpose

14:48she was the daughter of one of my london suppliers
15:03i don't know why she didn't tell me
15:06i mean i never would have
15:12until her will was read
15:14the boy was as unaware of my existence as i was of his
15:25what shall i do

15:30his name is sydney
15:35he needs love

15:44but i am a stranger to him
15:47his mother married
15:51a man of substance
15:53sydney has been well provided for
15:56he is at a boarding school
16:05where he has been for many years
16:07i can't just pluck him
16:10from everything he has ever known
16:12because i need a purpose
16:14you are his father
16:17for whose benefit will that role be played
16:20mine or his
16:21i have been in his shoes
16:29i know what it feels like queenie
16:31i know what it would feel like
16:34if after my mother died
16:35i had been taken from lark rice
16:37from you
16:38and set down somewhere
16:40where i knew nothing
16:41and no one

16:45to leave him where he is
16:49it is no longer a question of what i want
16:52i am a father
16:54reverend ellison has devoted his life to a church
17:02i have heard you decry
17:04as the tory party at prayer
17:06you must see that you are in every way unsuited
17:09to stand as his proxy
17:11i did not proffer myself for the role
17:16thomas brown
17:17miss ellison asked me
17:18i think this is something you would be better discussing with her
17:24miss ellison's
17:25judgment is at present impaired by emotion
17:28she has made a foolish and ill-judged request
17:32and i must demand
17:33that you decline it
17:35you may demand all you like
17:38your wife-to-be
17:41a woman for whom i have a considerable regard
17:44has honoured me with this request
17:45and my decision will be governed by two things alone
17:49her wishes
17:51and my own conscience
17:52and both of these are in perfect accord
17:54i shall be proud
18:00to walk her up the aisle
18:01and my wife-to-be
18:22I'm sorry.
18:24I'm sorry.
18:26I'm sorry.
18:28I'm sorry.
18:30I'm sorry.
18:48Miss Lane?
18:50Did it wake you two?
18:52I have looked everywhere.
18:54Oh, Laura, I cannot bear to hear it.
18:58We heard the door slamming.
19:02There was something wrong.
19:04Is it the cat again?
19:06I did check.
19:08It is not a cat.
19:10It is a child.
19:16I just can't stand to think of that little Sydney
19:18left in some school.
19:22I'm sure they take very good care of them.
19:24Well, how can they when there's so many?
19:28They might be clean and fed,
19:30but a child needs more than that.
19:32A child needs attention, love.
19:36Love.
19:38You be thankful you stopped at five, Emma.
19:42There's space enough in your lives yet
19:44to do more than just feed them and clothe them.
19:48You're the lucky one, aren't you, my chick?
19:54Mummy's last.
19:56A baby girl.
19:58Plenty of everything to go round yet.
20:00Emma?
20:04Emma?
20:06I haven't even told Robert yet.
20:08I haven't had the chance.
20:10I...
20:12Oh, Miss Lane.
20:14This is Terrell, Emma.
20:16I'm sorry to interrupt.
20:18I wonder if I might speak with you.
20:20Nan!
20:22Laura!
20:24Looking for your pa?
20:26I don't think he's here yet.
20:28I don't think he's here yet.
20:30I don't think he's here yet.
20:32I don't think he's here yet.
20:34Oh, Miss Lane.
20:36This is Terrell, Emma.
20:38I'm sorry to interrupt.
20:40I wonder if I might speak with you.
20:42Nan!
20:44Laura!
20:46Looking for your pa?
20:48I don't think he's here yet.
20:52I've got some buttermilk saved for him.
20:54Treat for the little uns.
20:58That's kind.
21:00Did you want something?
21:02I...
21:06Tell my pa I said hello.
21:14Nan!
21:18There was something for you.
21:20A letter.
21:24Drink.
21:28Let the leaves settle.
21:30Like you done last time.
21:44You see many children.
21:54There's a child that's grieving for what they have lost.
22:00Mr Dolan's son?
22:02Perhaps.
22:08There's a child coming.
22:10Can't see where.
22:12Or when.
22:16But coming soon.
22:22There's a child I can't see clearly.
22:28Hidden.
22:32Lost.
22:34A child without a name.
22:38But why does it cry?
22:40Why does any child cry?
22:42Because it needs you.
22:44To do what?
22:50I don't understand.
23:00One can't help wondering what will become of the child now that its poor fallen mother is gone.
23:06I know no more than you yourself managed to over here at the hotel.
23:12Mr Dowland does not mean to own him.
23:14Surely.
23:16A child without a name.
23:20What did you call him?
23:22But he does have a name, Miss Pratt.
23:24He has my name.
23:26At least he will do.
23:28I have several telegrams to send of an urgent nature.
23:32Of course.
23:34If you would prefer to dictate them in privacy.
23:36Not at all.
23:38I have nothing I wish to hide.
23:40They concern the arrangements for the care of my son.
23:42Sidney.
23:46He is at school at present in Yorkshire.
23:48But I hope that one day soon you will meet him.
23:50All of you.
23:52I hope that his mother's death will have been shock enough.
23:58I am instructing you to keep all arrangements for his care unchanged.
24:12Do you have that?
24:14Yes.
24:16All future bills.
24:20Including bed.
24:22Board.
24:23And school fees.
24:25To be directed to.
24:27Mr James Dowland.
24:29The Golden Lion Hotel.
24:39I'm sorry.
24:44You're away from bed.
24:45Oh!
24:46Oh!
24:55Ah!
24:56Ah!
24:57Ah!
24:58Ah!
24:59Ah!
25:00Ah!
25:01Ah!
25:03Ah!
25:04Did it seem to be that office?
25:06Yeah, sure.
25:10James!
25:11Your son.
25:12Are you sure that...
25:13He has just lost his mother.
25:18I imagine he is far from well.
25:21You have had so little time to consider.
25:25Perhaps you should.
25:27Perhaps I should what?
25:30Make inquiries.
25:31Find out why...
25:34if he is unhappy.
25:39Dorcas, is there no area on which you feel unqualified to give advice?
25:43No matter so personal
25:47that you do not feel you have the right to comment?
25:52I'm only asking you to think.
25:54What do you take me for?
25:57Since I have learned of his existence, I have done nothing but think of him.
26:02Of how he will be feeling.
26:05Tell me, do you remember your mother?
26:09I was a baby.
26:12Well, I remember mine.
26:13And I remember what it feels like to lose her
26:18and to be alone.
26:22And you dare to suggest
26:24that I have not sufficiently considered
26:26my son's position?
26:28It's a nice letter, Alf.
26:38Lovely.
26:40Best letter I ever had.
26:43But I can't read.
26:45I didn't send you no letter.
26:48Then who?
26:51Perhaps I got a secret admirer.
26:53Perhaps he writes me poems.
26:57Well, if he's gone to all that trouble,
26:59it'd be a shame not to hear it read out loud, wouldn't it?
27:01Well, go on, then.
27:14What does he say?
27:15What does he say?
27:22Alf?
27:24What is it?
27:25Who's it from?
27:31Who's it from?
27:36Laura.
27:42It's from Laura.
27:49Alf?
27:50Alf?
28:01All right, I'm coming.
28:04Oh!
28:05Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
28:07There.
28:09You are going to have to get used to being left on your own for a bit.
28:15Aren't you?
28:16You're going to have to get used to it.
28:26It's from Laura.
28:27Alf read it and...
28:29What does it say?
28:34She says she saw you in the barn with a farmer's son.
28:38She thinks that Alf deserves better
28:46and that you should have the courage and the...
28:51decency to be honest with him.
28:59I'm sorry, Nan.
29:02I'm so sorry.
29:04What does she know?
29:07What do either of them know?
29:09See something and then sit yourself down on the throne of judgment
29:13to decide for yourself what it means.
29:16He didn't even ask me.
29:20Stupid, bloody arse of a stupid lark riser.
29:26He's not the only one.
29:27Margaret.
29:40My father's name.
29:42Carved by Robert Timmons' hand.
29:46Robert Timmons.
29:49I can only wonder, Margaret,
29:51with what intention you chose to give your way.
29:54A man so guaranteed to offend
29:58the beliefs of both myself and your late father.
30:03I asked him because he is a good man.
30:07A man of principle.
30:09And are those the words
30:11the Reverend Ellison would use
30:13were he before us now?
30:14Good man.
30:16Man of principle.
30:18Thomas, please do not raise your voice.
30:21Or is your choice merely an act of defiance?
30:24Against a man whose opinions
30:26you would not have dared to flout
30:28whilst he was living?
30:39Mar, look at you.
30:41Standing in your post office.
30:46Dispensing judgment
30:47like you were dispensing stamps.
30:49What makes you think you have the right?
30:55Mar, what are you...
30:55Nan can't read Laura.
30:59She had Alf read your letter for her.
31:03What did you think you were doing?
31:07You don't know what her life is.
31:10You don't know what that kiss meant.
31:12How many things can a kiss mean?
31:14Plenty.
31:16A scene of friendship.
31:19A parting of ways.
31:22Or perhaps it was just about the fact
31:24that he's her employer's son.
31:27What has that to do with anything?
31:29Well,
31:30it might make him
31:33a difficult man to say no to.
31:37Any man come in here
31:39and took liberties with you,
31:40Dorcas would have him
31:42hanging from that tree outside.
31:45But what if that man
31:47were her brother
31:48or her husband
31:50or her son?
31:54Then you'd be between
31:56the devil and the deep blue sea
31:58trying to keep your job
31:59and your self-respect.
32:03Which isn't easy.
32:06Believe me.
32:07Laura, you don't know
32:10that's how it was.
32:11Nor do you.
32:15Oh, Laura.
32:18I shouldn't have to be
32:19doing the thinking for you.
32:21You're old enough.
32:22You should know.
32:24I've got enough to worry about
32:26wondering how I'm going to
32:27feed and clothe
32:28and love a family of six.
32:34Laura, you don't have
32:36six children.
32:45I haven't told your pa yet.
32:47Don't you tell him.
32:49I forbid you to tell him!
32:52Do you hear me?
32:56I'm sorry.
33:01You don't have to
33:02sort out my mistakes for me.
33:03You don't...
33:06More to the point, Laura.
33:11I can't.
33:13I feel so responsible.
33:26I prompted you.
33:29I more than prompted you
33:30to write that letter.
33:31If I'd stood by
33:32and done nothing,
33:33it would have felt
33:33like a betrayal.
33:34I don't...
33:35Perhaps I should talk to Alf.
33:40Laura, I am the last person
33:42to advise you.
33:44I will.
33:46I'm going to find him
33:47and I'm going to put things right.
33:50If that's what you feel,
33:51you must do.
33:54But be prepared for the fact
33:56that your intervention
33:57may not be welcome.
33:58Maybe not.
34:03I'm not a child anymore.
34:07It's time I started
34:08taking responsibility.
34:09My father always said
34:17that I was too rash.
34:20My thoughts too...
34:24ungoverned
34:25for considered judgment.
34:29But...
34:30I never meant
34:32to distress Thomas Brown.
34:33I shall tell Mr. Timmons
34:40that I made a mistake.
34:44And from now on,
34:46I will keep my father's voice
34:48always in my mind
34:50to guide me.
34:54I can hear him
34:57quite clearly, you know,
34:59if I try.
35:02Quite clearly.
35:03Stupid.
35:08Stupid girl.
35:09Your father
35:10sounds like a big bully to me.
35:12Minnie,
35:13this is not something
35:14in which we should be meddling.
35:17It is none of our business.
35:18It's our kitchen she's crying
35:20and it's our Thomas
35:21she's marrying.
35:22In here,
35:23still making her feel stupid,
35:24exactly like my stepfather
35:26and he was the biggest bully
35:27that ever lived.
35:29My father was...
35:31a man of strong beliefs
35:33and great integrity
35:34who cared about you
35:35very deeply.
35:37But...
35:38you are a woman
35:41of considerable insight
35:43and intellect.
35:47Did you never think, perhaps,
35:49in your heart of hearts
35:51that...
35:52just occasionally
35:54his judgment
35:55may have been flawed?
35:56I...
35:58I...
35:59I do recall
36:02one occasion...
36:03Al...
36:10Al...
36:11Nan told my mar
36:16what happened.
36:19I'm sorry.
36:22You were never meant
36:23to see that letter.
36:26I'm grateful
36:27for what you were trying to do.
36:30What if I was wrong?
36:34Mar says a kiss
36:35can mean a lot of things.
36:38Friendship
36:38or
36:39a parting of ways.
36:43Perhaps the boss's son
36:44is a hard man
36:45to say no to
36:46if you want to keep
36:47your position.
36:52No, Mar said...
36:52I'm going to kill it.
37:00No.
37:01Alf, I didn't mean...
37:04Alf!
37:09I need your help.
37:11It's Alf.
37:12He's gone to the farm.
37:13He says he's going to kill
37:14the farmer's son.
37:15I was trying
37:21to put things right.
37:26It is true
37:27I could sometimes
37:28have wished
37:28my father kinder.
37:31Not for myself
37:32but for George.
37:34He was so young
37:35when father
37:36sent him away to school.
37:39He came home
37:41bruised
37:42in body
37:43and spirit.
37:45I used to hear him
37:47at night
37:48sobbing
37:50into his pillow
37:51and father
37:54sent him back.
37:56Couldn't you
37:56have stopped him?
38:00I feared
38:01his anger.
38:04Excuse me.
38:15Nan?
38:17Where is he?
38:19Alf, don't!
38:20Where is he?
38:21Alf!
38:24I know.
38:25I know
38:26he forced you.
38:28Who?
38:29The farmer's son.
38:30Laura explained.
38:32No, I didn't mean...
38:34The farmer's son
38:35forced me?
38:38Bloody lark risers.
38:40I don't understand.
38:41Did you want to kiss him
38:42or didn't you?
38:44Well, since you're
38:44finally asking
38:45I wanted to buy something
38:48but I didn't have
38:49the shilling it cost
38:50so I offered him
38:51a kiss instead.
38:53Mind you,
38:54I should have got
38:54changed the meal
38:55he made out of it.
38:56A shilling?
38:58You could have
38:59borrowed a shilling
38:59off of me.
39:00Don't borrow money
39:02off a person
39:02to buy them a present.
39:03At least not
39:05where I was brought up.
39:06Lark rice rules
39:07are probably different.
39:08You brought me
39:10a present?
39:12Before I knew
39:13you were such a nurse.
39:15Well,
39:17where is it?
39:25Oh, scat,
39:26you grubby little boy.
39:27Go and practice
39:28on the cows.
39:31Of all the things
39:32I thought that kiss
39:33was about.
39:35You are so angry
39:36at me, pa.
39:37for sticking my nose in.
39:39She's got enough
39:40to worry about
39:41without me
39:41getting into scrapes.
39:44Enough to worry
39:45about how?
39:49Enough to worry
39:50about how,
39:51Laura?
39:54I can.
39:55I can.
39:57I promised.
39:58what is it?
40:09What is it?
40:15What's wrong?
40:19I thought...
40:20I thought there was
40:25going to be
40:26another baby.
40:33I was mistaken.
40:34I spent days
40:47worrying
40:50about how we're
40:54going to manage
40:54about how we're
40:56going to manage.
40:58And now
41:00that we don't
41:01have to.
41:06Why didn't you
41:06tell me?
41:09I wanted to.
41:10but then I thought
41:20perhaps it wasn't
41:23good news.
41:28And after that
41:29I didn't know
41:29how to.
41:30it was probably
41:39for the best.
41:45There's barely
41:46enough to go
41:47around as it is.
41:48I would have put
41:49food on the table
41:50then.
41:52You should have
41:52as many children
41:53as your heart
41:53would wish for.
41:54It's not about
41:56the money,
41:57Robert.
42:00It's everything.
42:04Five's a handful
42:05and a houseful.
42:09But we've still
42:10the room
42:11to love them.
42:12I don't feel
42:13myself in danger
42:14of running out
42:15of love,
42:16Pam.
42:18Sleep,
42:19yes.
42:20Money,
42:21yes.
42:22but love.
42:37I know you think
42:38I still need
42:39looking after
42:39but I don't.
42:41And when the new
42:41baby comes
42:42I'm going to be
42:42a help,
42:43not a drain.
42:44I get every third
42:45Saturday off
42:45and I can bicycle
42:47back on wash days
42:47while the baby's
42:48still in napkins.
42:50And for next time
42:51I've heard
42:55there are ways
42:55to limit
42:56a family.
43:05I'm not
43:05making it up.
43:09There are pamphlets.
43:10I made a mistake,
43:20Laura.
43:22There isn't
43:23going to be a baby.
43:27And you are
43:29not a drain on me.
43:31You are one of
43:32the things that
43:33fuels my fire.
43:35I was just
43:39I was
43:42feeling scared
43:43and I took
43:47it out on you.
43:53And you were
43:53right.
43:56I shouldn't have
43:57interfered with
43:57Alf and Nan.
43:59Blundering in
44:00not knowing
44:01what I was doing.
44:02Oh, Laura.
44:04There are no
44:05right or wrongs
44:05about these things.
44:08You just have to
44:09make a choice
44:10and stand by
44:12the consequences
44:13and you did.
44:15You just have to
44:16be able to
44:17live with yourself.
44:20That's your
44:20only compass.
44:21Perhaps
44:28you might ask
44:31Cousin Dorcas
44:32if I could
44:34move into
44:34the Smith Storm
44:35with Thomas Brown.
44:37I think
44:38we might be
44:38safe then.
44:39I believe
44:47Miss
44:48Ellison
44:49was here
44:50yesterday.
44:52She was
44:53indeed
44:53Thomas.
44:56We had
44:56a
44:57divergence
44:59of opinion
45:00on a certain
45:01matter.
45:05I fear
45:05I may have
45:06put my case
45:08a little too
45:09forcefully.
45:12Bullying
45:13is actually
45:15the word
45:15in my mind.
45:17The word
45:18that kept
45:19me awake
45:20last night.
45:23I merely
45:24wish to
45:25inquire of you.
45:28Is she
45:29all right?
45:33Oh, Thomas.
45:34I have a
45:40fascinating article
45:41upstairs,
45:42translated from
45:43the Russian
45:44concerning a
45:44physician named
45:45Ivan Pavlov.
45:47He has found
45:48that if one
45:49rings a bell
45:50every time a dog
45:51is fed,
45:52the dog will
45:53begin to
45:54salivate at the
45:55very sound
45:56of the bell.
45:56you are most
46:04instructive,
46:06as always,
46:06Miss Lane.
46:09If a person
46:10has been
46:11habitually
46:11bullied,
46:12Thomas,
46:12it will not
46:15take much
46:15to make them
46:16quake
46:16and cower.
46:17you should
46:21not blame
46:21yourself.
46:24But perhaps
46:25you should
46:27learn to
46:27tread a
46:27little lighter.
46:30Yes, ma'am.
46:32Thank you, ma'am.
46:36I'm as
46:37someone's
46:37going to
46:38kill it,
46:38but I
46:39says I'll
46:40buy that
46:40little piglet
46:41because there's
46:42some children
46:43I know
46:43that name
46:44Arliss
46:45that will
46:46feed it up
46:47till it's
46:47the biggest
46:47porker
46:48you ever
46:48saw.
46:51My new
46:52will should,
46:53of course,
46:53reflect these
46:54changes and
46:54make my son
46:55the sole
46:55beneficiary
46:56in the
46:56event of...
46:58I'm sorry
47:00to break into
47:00your meeting,
47:01but you must
47:01read this.
47:02I must?
47:03Please.
47:05It concerns
47:06Sydney.
47:09Very well,
47:10I will give
47:10you two minutes.
47:11Excuse me.
47:15Well?
47:17I don't
47:20understand.
47:22I
47:22telegraphed
47:23the school
47:23at which
47:24Sydney
47:24boards.
47:25You did
47:26what?
47:27I said
47:27that I
47:28had recently
47:28become
47:28the guardian
47:29of a young
47:30relative.
47:33Please,
47:33you must
47:33listen.
47:35I told them
47:35the child's
47:36care would
47:36be a burden
47:37to me.
47:38I said
47:38I wanted
47:39him raised
47:39in line
47:40with my
47:40expectations
47:41of a child
47:42without a
47:42name.
47:45James,
47:45please.
47:47I beg
47:47you.
47:49Just read
47:50it.
47:55As you
47:56can see,
47:57they are
47:58more than
47:58happy to
47:58oblige.
48:00They take
48:01children from
48:01the age of
48:02three.
48:04No holidays,
48:06no visitors.
48:09This is not a
48:10school.
48:10home.
48:11It is a
48:12home for
48:12the unwanted.
48:16Telegraph
48:17them again.
48:18Tell them
48:19I am on
48:19my way.
48:21Tell them
48:21I am
48:21bringing my
48:22son home.
48:22Mr. Turrell.
48:32I was
48:32looking for
48:33Thomas Brown.
48:34I believe
48:35he often
48:35walks this
48:36way on
48:36his round.
48:37Indeed.
48:38I often
48:39walk this
48:39way myself.
48:41I am
48:42walking at
48:42the moment.
48:43Would you
48:44care to
48:46walk with
48:47me?
49:04Thomas!
49:06Miss
49:07Margaret!
49:14I wish
49:15to
49:16apologise.
49:18I should
49:19not have
49:19spoken to
49:19you as
49:20I did.
49:22If
49:22Robert
49:23Timmons is
49:23your choice,
49:24then he is
49:24your choice.
49:26I may not
49:27like it,
49:28but I can
49:29and I do
49:30respect it.
49:33Oh,
49:33Thomas!
49:36Robert
49:37Timmons?
49:39Robert
49:40Timmons?
49:42That man
49:43can't open
49:43his mouth
49:44in public
49:45without
49:45bringing
49:45in the
49:45rights
49:46of the
49:46working
49:47man
49:47or
49:47the
49:48Irish
49:49question?
49:52Is that
49:53the kind
49:53of speech
49:54making you
49:54want at
49:55your
49:55wedding
49:55breakfast?
50:01I'm
50:02older
50:02than he.
50:03I'm
50:04more of
50:04a
50:04lack
50:05rise
50:05man
50:05than
50:06he.
50:06And
50:07I
50:08have
50:09the
50:09walk.
50:12You've
50:12seen.
50:13I
50:14had
50:14the
50:14walk.
50:17Well,
50:18and that
50:20is why
50:21the truly
50:23vital role,
50:25the one
50:25upon which
50:26the entire
50:27marriage service
50:28depends,
50:29is reserved
50:30for you.
50:32Is that
50:33not so,
50:33my dear?
50:36Indeed,
50:37quite so.
50:38Mr. Turrell,
50:43would you
50:44do us
50:45the honour
50:45of being
50:46our
50:46ring-bearer?
50:52Yes!
50:53Oh,
50:54yes!
50:55the ring-bearer!
51:14Miss Lane?
51:18Laura.
51:19I was
51:22just
51:23listening.
51:26To
51:27what?
51:29The
51:30silence.
51:32Hmm.
51:34And
51:35it
51:35is
51:35golden.
51:36Hmm.
51:38Hmm.
51:39Hmm.
51:40Hmm.
51:41Hmm.
51:42Hmm.
51:43Hmm.
51:44Hmm.
51:45Hmm.
51:46Hmm.
51:47Hmm.
51:48Hmm.
51:49Hmm.
51:49Hmm.
51:50Hmm.
51:50Hmm.
51:51Hmm.
51:51Hmm.
51:51Hmm.
51:52Hmm.
51:52Hmm.
52:08Hmm.
52:09Hmm.
52:10Hmm.
52:10Hmm.
52:11Hmm.
52:11Hmm.
52:11Hmm.
52:12The Bible
52:12tells us
52:13that to
52:13everything
52:14there is
52:14a season
52:15and a time
52:16to every
52:17purpose
52:17under the
52:18heaven.
52:18and it
52:20felt as
52:20though there
