00:00To be continued...
00:30Thank you, Thomas.
00:41Hamlet folk used to call it the Occhid Age.
00:45A child who was more like an adult.
00:48They joked that such young souls ought to be locked up in a box for a year or two.
00:54And such boys become fathers.
00:57Growing up happens in public.
01:00And so they wouldn't have, like, an adult.
01:02They wonder, Tom, is anything to do with that'll ever be killed in a adult.
01:05It's just not just other than others are.
01:07A child who cancut one along the road around,lenon anmin you'd successfully killed in an adult.
01:10If you're more who you want to do with it, then, you've escrito for a year or two.
01:14And even if you buy an adult in a child, he's not being wrapped up with those young вÑбeremians.
01:17Then, endlich that married a home by won't be allowed to be discovered for a year or two.
01:19But he was recently found in a ÑÑпíish-madeye.
01:20So please don't miss anything that I was thinking about at once.
01:22Nobody can do it all.
01:23Nobody can do it all.
01:24It's the only excuse.
01:25You'll soon get used to the post office, Sydney.
01:40We sell stamps and postal orders and we deliver parcels and telegrams.
01:45We get our kinds of extraordinary folk in here with extraordinary business.
01:49The post office is the very marrow of service to our community.
01:53I'm sure you'll find that a comfort, Sydney, in your time of discomfort.
01:59What no one has mentioned, Sydney, is that we insist on enjoying life here.
02:04So, perhaps a bite to eat?
02:10Good morning, madam. Welcome to Candleford post office.
02:14What are you in need of today?
02:18I would like a penny stamp, please.
02:23That'll be one penny.
02:31Sydney, you are a natural.
02:36Minnie will show you where to wash your hands before we eat.
02:41Goodness.
02:43He is from all the world like a little man.
02:46Your father had a riding accident, which has left him in need of hospital treatment.
02:55He will be well enough to come home soon.
02:57It is nothing to be too concerned about.
03:01Were you concerned?
03:02As soon as he heard about you, your father's one wish was to care for you and welcome you into his home and his life.
03:16And tomorrow, I will take you to meet him.
03:21Would you like that?
03:23Miss Lane?
03:23Yes.
03:25Will you please show me how the telegraph machine works?
03:37Miss Margaret?
03:39Come in.
03:40Oh, I was expecting him.
03:42And I should be home soon enough if you'd care to wait.
03:45I've been trying to explain to my children what it means for a bride to be given away at her own wedding.
04:03I must go.
04:04If you are besieged by doubts, Miss Margaret, let me tell you, it is common enough. It will pass.
04:12Not doubts.
04:14I do want to marry Thomas Brown. I am certain of this.
04:20But there is something of which you are not so certain.
04:23Thomas may decide.
04:26I mean, Robert, what is love?
04:30Well, it's the desire and cherishing one another.
04:46That is all.
04:48There has to be more about it, doesn't there?
04:50What does it matter if we don't understand love just so long as we feel it?
04:54Only it does come into my mind all day, that question, what is love?
05:06So, if you could tell me, please.
05:10Why do you feel so compelled to understand?
05:14Because if it is only feelings, feelings can change.
05:19And Thomas might see me differently and realize that he has married someone who is not lovable.
05:29Miss Margaret.
05:32Can you just trust that Thomas...
05:35I don't wish to alarm you, Miss Margaret, but there is a rash on your neck and on your face.
05:42Yes.
05:49Oh, dear.
05:53The Alison pox.
05:55The Alison pox.
05:57I am ruined.
06:01He does seem to have attached himself to Miss Lane.
06:04He seems to have attached himself to the post office and all.
06:08Miss Lane is right.
06:10He is a little man.
06:13Little man he shall be, then.
06:14I saw these.
06:18I knew I had to pick them for you.
06:20Chrysanthemums is for love and cheerfulness.
06:23Every flower has its meaning.
06:25More gifts.
06:28You liked it last time I bought you flowers.
06:31Oh, I did.
06:33And the time before, and the time before that.
06:35And the berries, and the piece of ribbon.
06:39I'm only being romantic now.
06:41So much romance might choke a girl.
06:43That's just the way I am.
06:45Go and be the way you are somewhere else.
06:54I love to ride.
06:58And I can get you a horse if you would like.
07:06Tell me.
07:09Have you seen the hotel yet, Sydney?
07:11Perhaps I will take a stroll around the hospital grounds.
07:25Leave you two men to get to know one another.
07:27No.
07:28No, Dorcas.
07:30There's really no need.
07:34Sydney.
07:35We shall find you a good school nearby.
07:43And we shall find you some friends.
07:46And you can join the cricket team.
07:48I don't like cricket.
07:53No.
07:55Well, neither do I.
08:01Sydney, why don't you tell your pa what you do like?
08:03Start there.
08:05Your reading, and figures, and...
08:07Yes.
08:08That is what I meant to say.
08:10Tell me, Sydney.
08:13I like the post office.
08:17Well, we shall see plenty of that.
08:23I am always in there.
08:24Can we go now, please?
08:42Yes.
08:43Sydney, you are right.
08:45I am tired.
08:48I should sleep.
08:49I should sleep.
08:50Sydney, let me say, when I am up, I will bring you home.
09:03And you will see I can be.
09:10We can be.
09:11You will see.
09:17I promise you.
09:25The man is a living scandal.
09:28To deceive the whole town into believing he was the owner of a vast chain of London hotels.
09:34When he was nothing more than the lap boy of some moneyed widow.
09:38And to bring Candleford into such disrepute.
09:42Playing out his sordid, sordid, sordid entanglements, practically in the streets.
09:47Sordid.
09:49A fitting girl is to enable us to fit.
09:51We cannot fit if you are incapable of remaining still for more than a second.
09:55To be a bridesmaid is a great moment in every girl's life.
10:00Don't I look beautiful?
10:04And to top it all, I'm an illegitimate child.
10:08Is there no end to the man's immorality?
10:10Sordid.
10:12I thought you quite liked Mr J.D.
10:17Mr J... Mr Dowland wears a convincing mask of presentability.
10:23But we soon perceived his inner rot.
10:27It always comes back to breeding.
10:31Mr Dowland may wear a suit.
10:33But he will never wash off the grime of luck, right?
10:39Miss Lane says that as things are, we must think only of the child.
10:43Yes.
10:44Yes, poor mate.
10:45That is laudable of Dorcas, of course.
10:47Miss Lane can be relied upon to be heroic.
10:50Nick, nettle, burdock, yellow dock, dandelion.
10:59This lab poultice was taught to me by my grandma.
11:02I've never known it fail with any ailment of the skin.
11:04Oh, but look at her hands.
11:06It's getting worse.
11:08My face does feel more itching than ever.
11:13Hmm.
11:14I can't fathom it.
11:15She's getting married in three days.
11:17She can't be a bride looking like something the dog's left over.
11:22I cannot let Thomas see me like this coming up the aisle.
11:26It must be a terrible ailment to be beyond my poultice.
11:31Perhaps if I add some elderflower and comfrey, that might be the remedy.
11:36Thomas Brown frets about the slightest thing.
11:38If you were to see Miss Margaret like this before the wedding...
11:42Perhaps we ought to keep you here in the End House.
11:46Till we can find a cure for this, Miss Margaret.
11:54What are you doing?
11:58Prayer is listening.
12:01It's at times like this that we feel the presence.
12:06We place ourselves into the palm of God's care and our every step will be guided.
12:13Sydney.
12:17The greatest day of my life is fast approaching.
12:20And I know that I must seek the will of the Lord.
12:23Hmm.
12:25I seek
12:26them
12:28Bing!
12:31Bing!
12:34Bing!
12:36There it is before me.
12:38The gift
12:40of guidance.
13:01Sydney.
13:02Sydney.
13:06Sydney.
13:07Sydney.
13:09Sydney.
13:10Sydney.
13:10Sydney.
13:11Sydney.
13:12Sydney.
13:12Sydney.
13:13Sydney.
13:14Sydney.
13:14Sydney.
13:15Sydney.
13:16Sydney.
13:16Sydney.
13:17Sydney.
13:18Sydney.
13:19Sydney.
13:20Sydney.
13:21Sydney.
13:22Sydney.
13:23Sydney.
13:24Sydney.
13:25Sydney.
13:26Sydney.
13:27Sydney.
13:28Sydney.
13:29She asked me to be like a father to her.
13:32And as soon as she comes to me for help, look what comes of it.
13:35You do take on Robert Timmons.
13:38Miss Ellison is a logic unto herself. Everyone knows that.
13:42It seemed to come upon her as she was asking me what love is.
13:46That's because, you see, it ain't so much her skin that's sickening as her mind.
13:52Miss Ellison's mind is too delicate, always was.
13:56What she has is a pox of the brain.
14:01A thinking sickness put upon her by her pa.
14:05Perhaps that is why talking to me has come upon her again.
14:10What's growing to your skin, Alfie?
14:14Love.
14:17If either of you know any impediment why you may not be joined together in holy matrimony, that ye confess it.
14:29That ye confess it.
14:32Laura, why do we throw raisins at the married couple on their wedding day?
14:39Well, to wish them prosperity and fertility.
14:44Are you alright, Thomas?
14:47No, Laura. I am burdened with the need to confess.
14:53The Book of Common Prayer tells us we must rid ourselves of all blemish and sin if we are to be fit for matrimony.
15:00Sin? Have you sinned, Thomas?
15:03Oh, I have. I have not always been as dedicated to my work as I might be. I have loitered.
15:10Loitered? I thought you were going to say through stones that cats are set fire to a hayrick like I did.
15:17I have been known to gossip and sit in judgement of my fellow man.
15:22Thomas, that is hardly the stuff to call off a wedding.
15:27I once condemned Miss Ellison's father publicly.
15:32I must cleanse my soul before her if I am to be worthy of that dear woman.
15:37Thomas, truly, perhaps now is not the best moment to trouble Miss Margaret with your confessions.
15:44But I am sure she is in such a bloom of happiness.
15:48Oh, but I must. My mission is clear. I will seek out Miss Ellison and confess all. All.
15:57Laura, is lighter and truly a sin?
16:00No, Minnie, it is not.
16:02Oh, then I shall go to heaven.
16:06Ten.
16:08Well done.
16:09You count this stack.
16:20Nine.
16:22It's a good job I have you to keep an eye on me, Sydney.
16:26Write it up.
16:27Very neat handwriting.
16:37Who taught you such a fine hand?
16:40Myself.
16:44And your hair brushed so smartly.
16:47And your tie?
16:49Myself.
16:50Sydney, I think you are a remarkable boy.
17:01What I mean to say is...
17:05If you want to talk, I can listen.
17:08Ten.
17:09You don't say much, do you?
17:26Miss Lane says I talk too much.
17:29Miss Lane says there's not a thought that crosses my mind that don't get spoke.
17:33You keep it all inside.
17:35You're like a pie, aren't you?
17:37All crust, the meat hid away in the gravy.
17:40I reckon I'm like a sponge pudding with custard.
17:44What if we had half of you and half of me, what would we have?
17:48Dinner.
17:51If you do need to talk, and I ain't saying you do,
17:54you can trust Miss Lane with your troubles.
17:55And if you can't manage that, I can tell you what she will say anyway.
17:59We only have to be well today.
18:02That's all we can do.
18:04We can only do our best.
18:06Be willing.
18:08So you can do it, see?
18:11I'll tell you something, little man.
18:13I reckon this post office is the safest place in the whole world.
18:19Thomas Brown.
18:20We are most concerned to know how it is with the boy.
18:23Poor dear love.
18:26Ladies, may I ask?
18:28When will Miss Ellison call the collector wedding dress?
18:32The final fitting is tomorrow.
18:36Is there anything the matter, Thomas?
18:41Thomas, you are looking at me most oddly.
18:45Am I looking at you?
18:48I am.
18:49Well, I must not look at you.
18:52I am a man about to be married.
18:57We didn't leave our post.
19:03I expect this is all rather new for you.
19:06Rather grand.
19:07It's big.
19:08Yes.
19:10But isn't it all going to be rather delightful for Thomas Brown's wedding banquet?
19:14It's too big.
19:17Oh, Sydney.
19:19I know how you must feel.
19:22Your father's accident.
19:24Being thrown into a strange life at the post office.
19:27The post office isn't strange.
19:30The hotel is strange.
19:42Thomas, I can't decide which hat to wear to the wedding.
19:46Do you think feathers or silk?
19:50Oh, dear.
19:52Have you still not managed to track down Miss Ellison?
19:55Ma'am.
19:57The Lord has given me this hiatus
20:00so that I may further examine my soul.
20:04And, ma'am,
20:06I am finding much to contemplate
20:09and much to confess.
20:11Oh, Thomas.
20:13I do wish you could just relish the occasion.
20:16The food I know will be sumptuous.
20:18I went to great lengths to prepare the menu.
20:21This is a serious matter, Miss Lane.
20:27I am in need of pleading guilty to the fact that I have been attracted
20:32to Miss Ruby.
20:36When?
20:38I was, I believe, 18.
20:39Thomas, being attracted to a comely local woman in your youth is not a crime.
20:47I must cleanse my spirit.
20:49But it is normal.
20:51Everyone has such feelings.
20:53Miss Ellison herself will have entertained affections for someone.
20:59Miss Ellison?
21:01Entertained affections?
21:03For another man?
21:05Of course.
21:06Who?
21:09I have no idea.
21:11I was only trying to explain.
21:13Oh, I must know.
21:15I must find out.
21:17Dear God in heaven.
21:22I placed myself in the palm of your care.
21:27Please don't make me leave the post office.
21:32I don't want a father.
21:34I want Miss Lane.
21:38Please.
21:42I was mistaken in thinking we should give Sydney such a wholehearted welcome into the post office.
21:47He has fastened onto us.
21:50And I see now that might not be the best thing for him.
21:54Or his father.
21:56There is already a rift between them and it is all my doing.
22:01Mommy's praying.
22:02Little man is praying to stay here in the post office.
22:07James!
22:08You ain't meant to be up yet.
22:10You ain't ready for it.
22:11I have to be with my son, Queenie.
22:14Before it is too late.
22:15And you are certain, are you?
22:16That you know what you are about to do is right?
22:18He needs to see me well.
22:20He needs to see me strong.
22:21Is that what he will see?
22:23He will see me trying.
22:25And he will see me trying.
22:27He will see me trying.
22:29He will see me trying.
22:31He will see me trying.
22:33I am not sure.
22:35I am not sure.
22:37I am not sure.
22:38No, you are wrong, Queenie.
22:39I must act.
22:41Before it is too late.
22:42James!
22:43Can you see me trying?
22:45He will see me trying.
22:47He will see me coming to him.
22:49Why do you always believe you have to take on the world to make things right, James?
22:55Why can't you trust that things are as they should be?
22:59Perhaps you are sick because you are meant to be sick.
23:02No, you are wrong, Queenie.
23:04I must act.
23:06Before it is too late.
23:07James, can you hear what you are saying?
23:11Always this need to prove yourself.
23:14Here it is pulling you from your sick bed.
23:17You are James.
23:19That is enough.
23:21A Larkroy's boy.
23:23That is plenty.
23:24You are on your way home, Mr. Dallenden. You have lost your way.
23:38I know my way home.
23:39You have it so easy.
23:40I don't need your help.
23:54Not you nor any of you.
23:56James, you are not fit.
23:57You are not fit.
23:59What?
24:00Not fit to be a father?
24:02You are not fit to get yourself home.
24:03That is all.
24:05I know what you think of me.
24:07I see it in your face.
24:08Do you?
24:09Do you?
24:11You see my mind?
24:13I think many things of you, sir.
24:16Today what I feel is pity.
24:19Don't pity me.
24:21Not you.
24:23You think you are the only man on God's earth to have burdens, Mr. Dallenden.
24:28You went at woe with me.
24:29You are at woe with yourself.
24:30And if you don't stop, it will kill you.
24:32That is what I see.
24:34You have courage, James.
24:35But perhaps courage is not what you need now.
24:40Now let me get you home.
24:47Bees, bees, I hope you are sleeping snug.
24:50Is that lady speaking to her bees?
24:53She has been having a conversation with those bees for more than 40 years.
25:01Aren't you just the image, Sydney?
25:09You might not know it, but this here is where you come from.
25:15All of your past is here.
25:17You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?
25:25You make sure you find time to come here to play, child.
25:31With the scraps of crockery in the lane.
25:35Spending afternoon laying on your belly.
25:38Peering down into the cracks in the ground that I peered into.
25:44Ain't Miss Lane starting them young these days.
25:48I hope she's paying you fair wages, boy.
25:50Slave labour it is now at that post office.
25:52Now, this here is Mr. Terrell, my husband.
25:59This is Sydney.
26:00Sydney.
26:02Will you do something for me?
26:04Will you tell Thomas Brown that you saw Miss Ellison and that all is well with her?
26:08Is there something the matter, Mark?
26:14Poor woman is plagued with a need to know what love is.
26:18Everyone knows what love is.
26:21Is that so?
26:23Care to tell me in so many words?
26:25There is something else you can do, our Laura.
26:27But you must keep the purpose of it to yourself.
26:31Secret.
26:39I received your message, James.
26:41That you were home and wanted to see me.
26:44I requested that you bring Sydney to me.
26:48Sydney is out on the rounds with Laura.
26:51I thought it might be a pleasant way for him to find his way around a little.
26:54We didn't expect you home quite so soon.
26:58And since it is only you and I,
27:01perhaps there is an opportunity for us to discuss.
27:03What is there to discuss?
27:06The situation is fragile.
27:09We must ask ourselves how to manage the next transition so that it is...
27:14I am home.
27:17I want my son with me.
27:21Sydney is afraid.
27:22We might only add to his fear if things do not go well now.
27:29What do you suggest?
27:32The boy finds the hotel intimidating, James.
27:36Perhaps you could be with him in the post office.
27:41At first.
27:42This might give you a few days to recuperate and still get to know Sydney.
27:53Don't rush him.
27:55Let him come to you.
27:58He will.
28:00I am certain of it.
28:03You are his father.
28:05It is what he will want.
28:07Then I must trust you in this.
28:15Can you do that?
28:20Yes.
28:24Miss Pearl.
28:26Miss Ruby.
28:27Miss Ellison would like me to collect her dress and deliver it to her.
28:31Don't be ridiculous, girl.
28:32We shall need to undertake a final fitting.
28:35Thomas has been looking for Miss Ellison.
28:37She seems to be...
28:39missing.
28:41I am only permitted to say that I am to bring the dress.
28:46We will not allow it. Our reputation hangs on a correct fitting.
28:50And Miss Ellison will want to look at her best on her wedding day.
28:55There is something untoward, isn't there, girl?
28:58Perhaps we could bring the dress to Miss Ellison, if you were to tell us where she is.
29:07The dress shall not leave the shop without a professional hand on it.
29:11I hear you went out on the post round.
29:24You saw La Crize.
29:27That is where I spent my childhood.
29:32And you met Queenie.
29:33She was like a mother to me.
29:39And I expect she would dearly love to be a grandma to you.
29:45Would you like that?
29:47I would.
30:03We can have your name inscribed upon it, if you would like.
30:33Thomas, I saw Miss Ellison today.
30:39Where?
30:40Where does she know that I am searching for her?
30:43She said she would come by, but she has been so busy.
30:48With her preparations.
30:52Thomas is in need of confessing all of his past sins.
30:56Which don't amount to much.
30:58Eating a burnt sausage and whistling in bed.
31:01I will have you know for a man to cleanse his soul before the woman he loves is as close to piety as a humble postman can get.
31:11Pie for tea. Close to pie for tea.
31:16I will not allow my piety nor my marriage to be mocked.
31:21Thomas, no one wants to mock your marriage. We are all intent on celebrating it except you.
31:31I will not allow my marriage to be mocked.
31:34Thomas, no one wants to be mocked.
31:35Thomas, no one wants to be mocked.
31:37James!
31:39James!
31:44All right, sir.
31:47Don't be afraid.
31:48I am well.
31:49Come here to me, boy.
32:02Come and see. I am well.
32:04Don't back away from me.
32:07Don't turn away from me.
32:09James, please.
32:11It is too much. He is afraid.
32:12He cannot help you. He cannot even help himself.
32:15Girls don't want nice.
32:17That's what they might say.
32:19But a girl can fall in love without knowing it's happening or why it's happening.
32:21If she thinks she might have missed her chance, then she sees a boy for what he truly is.
32:23The girl can fall in love without knowing it's happening or why it's happening.
32:30If she thinks she might have missed her chance, then she sees a boy for what he truly is.
32:38I say. But a girl can fall in love without knowing it's happening, Laura, why it's happening.
32:44If she thinks she might have missed her chance, then she sees a boy for what he truly is.
32:50All I seem to live for, Laura, is the pleasing of whoever happens to be in front of me.
32:56I'm sick of it. I've never decided to be shot with this way of thinking.
33:04I see you mean it.
33:06From now on, I shall have a good look at what it is that I want.
33:11If you could do one thing for yourself, what would it be?
33:14Something that would make your blood sing from the sheer wildness of it.
33:19Well, I've always had this one thought.
33:22Since I was a nipper.
33:25Ring the church bells, good and loud, in the middle of the night.
33:35You did it, Alf. You did it.
33:52Laura, are you all right?
33:54Was that you screaming?
33:55It wasn't screaming, ma'am.
33:58It was something else.
34:03Didn't the bell sound so joyous, though?
34:05I can wait no longer.
34:25I want the boy.
34:29Tomorrow.
34:30James, you look so unwell.
34:35Let me fetch the doctor for you.
34:37I will be all right.
34:41Tomorrow.
34:42I am not keeping Sydney from you.
34:45I am thinking of the boy.
34:47Are you?
34:48It is in your nature to be boundlessly generous.
34:53But even you want something.
34:56Even you are human.
34:59It is one thing to offer a place of safety to a child.
35:02It is another thing entirely to take advantage of the situation.
35:08You know I cannot help but believe you.
35:12You use that.
35:15You torture me with possibility.
35:17James, please let me get the doctor.
35:23I'll give you tonight to prepare the child.
35:37Wake up, Sydney.
35:40You must come with me.
35:47Miss Margaret.
35:56Miss Margaret.
35:56The way I see it,
36:06your pa is at the source of all this.
36:13He put these thoughts into your mind.
36:17There is a reason it is called the Ellison box.
36:21I can't tell you what love is.
36:24I can only tell you what love is to me.
36:28I can be myself with Emma and know she will not turn away.
36:37She sees what I am and she accepts me.
36:42Perhaps with a bit of correction when my pride gets the better of me.
36:45If what I am saying makes things worse, then I am sorry, but...
36:54I have a choice.
36:56I know it now.
36:59To face my groom like this.
37:01Or to abandon my wedding.
37:05I have been waiting for this day.
37:12I have watched women younger than myself come to the church one after another.
37:18I have loved Thomas Brown from afar and hoped and waited until he approached me.
37:35When my father died, I believed I was free of him, but he lives in my mind still.
37:50We may be done with the past, but the past is not done with us.
37:59I will not be defeated.
38:02I will go up the aisle like this.
38:12I can hardly believe how many people came out.
38:17You've done it now.
38:19Now you know how it feels.
38:21I did like the feel of my heart pounding.
38:24I'm glad I did it.
38:26Because now I see.
38:28That kind of thing.
38:29Trouble and the like.
38:32It ain't me.
38:33I know it ain't.
38:36There's nothing wrong with Al Farless, just the way he is.
38:40What I know is.
38:42I love my life.
38:44I am blessed.
38:46I was born to enjoy the sun coming up of a morning and the look on a face when I play a tune.
38:51I saw these and I knew I had to pick them for you.
39:00Chrysanthemums is for love and cheerfulness.
39:03Minni.
39:24Come here.
39:32You know where Sidney is, don't you?
39:41You have hidden him.
39:44I heard him praying.
39:46His whole heart wants to be here and it ain't right to send him away and I won't do it and I won't let you do it.
39:50Do you suppose that you know what is right in all this, Minni?
39:57He has a father.
39:59A family.
40:02We cannot turn away from the ties of blood.
40:04But he loves you, Mum.
40:08Oh, Minni.
40:11We will be here for Sidney.
40:14Be part of his life.
40:15But he must go to Mr. Dowland.
40:20Must.
40:21Must.
40:24It would be selfish to think otherwise.
40:28Go and fetch him, Minni.
40:36Pa!
40:36I have something for you.
40:45A book of poems.
40:49Sonnets.
40:52In Queenie always saying,
40:54when we let go,
40:56the answer will appear.
40:57Thomas Brown!
41:06Are you skulking?
41:07My wife-to-be is being kept from me.
41:11It's bad luck for a man to see his bride.
41:14Only on his wedding day.
41:16This is uncalled for.
41:17There must be a reason.
41:18That's a superstition, see,
41:19from the days when a man had not so much as glinted his bride
41:21till he met her at the altar.
41:24He might not like the look of her, see?
41:26He might run away.
41:26That's why there's a veil
41:28to hide her face
41:30in case she's into a picture.
41:32A man has to do the nuptials first,
41:34then take a look.
41:35I must see Miss Margaret today.
41:38You see enough of her after the wedding.
41:40A hundred years of nagging awaits you.
41:43Rest your ears while you can't.
41:44Push your car, okay.
41:46Ow!
41:48Ow!
41:52Oh!
41:53Ay!
41:53You can work in the post office on Saturdays.
41:57Laura will take you out on her rants.
42:08A sausage to gird you.
42:10Come here to me, boy.
42:24Don't back away from me.
42:27Don't turn away from me.
42:33I'll give you tonight to prepare the child.
42:35I'm here to hide.
42:48You can ask me, man.
42:50I'll give you anotherã.
42:51You can pass me, man.
42:52I'll give you one more of your hands.
42:53My heart is so gentle.
42:53I'll give you an eye.
42:55I'll give you an eye.
42:56I'll give you an eye.
42:57I'll give you an eye.
42:58I'll give you an eye.
42:59Bye!
43:00Bye!
43:00Bye!
43:00Bye!
43:01Bye!
43:02Bye!
43:03Bye!
43:04I have no plan.
43:16But I could not let that boy see me hand him over.
43:20Abandon him.
43:23At least he knows he is wanted.
43:32What is it, Sydney?
43:34My ma, when she took me to that school, and left me, was it because I wasn't good enough?
43:51No, little ma.
43:54It certainly was not.
43:57You are more than good enough.
44:00I don't know what to do.
44:16I don't know what is best.
44:17We have a conscience for a reason.
44:24Birds don't have one as far as I can see.
44:28Dogs don't show much sign of living by one.
44:30We are given a conscience, because if we don't live by it, it hurts.
44:37Do you know what it is I'm talking about?
44:39I do.
44:42I want to do the right thing.
44:45I know you do.
44:46But I can't seem to find what that is.
44:51I think he can.
44:54And I think he'll do the right thing.
44:55Warm your hands, James.
45:04Enjoy the stars over Lock Rise.
45:09Miss Margaret.
45:10I have something I would like to read to you.
45:18It's only words.
45:20But if you ask me, it's as close to a magic spell as words can get.
45:24You close your eyes, and you listen with all your heart.
45:48I will make sure that Dorcas knows where to find me.
45:51If you would like, perhaps we can meet.
46:00In London.
46:03Or I can come back here.
46:12I never knew my father.
46:17My whole life,
46:18I didn't think it mattered.
46:24But it does.
46:28It does.
46:35When you are ready,
46:37and when I am ready,
46:41perhaps...
46:42I want you to look after that for me.
47:03With Dorcas,
47:12he will have a chance.
47:15She can teach him to try and find a life worth living.
47:20And what about you?
47:22What about your chance?
47:24Queenie,
47:24Queenie,
47:25Queenie,
47:26I believed the reason I came back here
47:28was to relive my own past.
47:32Recreate my life so that it worked.
47:36But it was not meant to be.
47:40Perhaps it is meant.
47:43Only not for you, James.
47:45Perhaps you came back here.
47:47Perhaps you came back here.
47:49And everything that has happened since you returned.
47:53In order to bring the boy to us.
47:57To bring him to his true home.
47:59How could I?
48:01If I didn't even know he existed.
48:03Do you suppose that matters?
48:06How do I know the wind should blow?
48:09Because it's blowing.
48:10I don't understand you, Queenie.
48:14I never did.
48:17You accept life.
48:20And I fight it.
48:32Now.
48:33Perhaps you will have done with the fighting
48:35when you've had enough of it.
48:40You go and find your life out there, James.
48:48Wherever it is.
48:50You deserve it.
48:53We all do.
48:55Queenie,
48:56you're right.
49:00A life worth living.
49:10Thomas Heavens,
49:24you are not dressed.
49:27The Lord set me a mission,
49:30Miss Lane.
49:32And I have failed him.
49:34Your confessions.
49:42Thomas.
49:44You are always telling me
49:46that we live by God's will.
49:48Isn't that so?
49:51Perhaps then,
49:52the reason he has kept Miss Ellison
49:54from you these past few days
49:56is so that
49:56you might not confess to her.
49:59He is, after all,
50:02the Almighty.
50:06Then why was I given a sign
50:08in the Book of Common Prayer?
50:13Because, Thomas,
50:15God clearly wished you
50:19to cleanse your soul
50:21before no one but him.
50:22Miss Lane,
50:27you are correct.
50:32Yes.
50:34It is my one weakness.
50:42Let me not
50:43to the marriage of true minds
50:45admit impediments.
50:48Love is not love
50:49which alters
50:51when it alteration finds.
50:55Or bends
50:56with the remover
50:57to remove.
51:00Oh no,
51:01it is an ever-fixed mark
51:03that looks on tempests
51:05and is never shaken.
51:07It is the star
51:09to every wandering bark
51:10whose worth's unknown
51:12although his height
51:14be taken.
51:16Love is not time's fool,
51:18though rosy lips
51:20and cheeks
51:21within his bending
51:22sickle's compass come.
51:25Love alters not
51:26with his brief hours
51:28and weeks,
51:29but bears it out
51:31even to the edge of doom.
51:34If this be error
51:35and upon me proved,
51:38I never writ
51:39nor no man
51:40ever loved.
51:42Hamlet folk
51:55used to call it
51:56the Ocad age,
51:58a child
51:58who was more
51:59like an adult.
52:00Perhaps
52:15that Ocad age
52:17never ends.
52:19Perhaps
52:20we're all children
52:21trying to be adults.
52:23and
52:29there
52:32seems
52:32to be
52:35there
