1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,120
I don't think you understand the
strength of feeling in the town, ma'am,

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,360
against the blues.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
I've got this architect coming to
take a look at Northgate House.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,160
- Oh, that's still our plan?
- Oh, yes.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,800
Have you had a letter
from your sister, ma'am?

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,640
No.

7
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,440
She's sent instruction for evictions.

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,800
The Rawsons have now had between
four and five acres of your coal.

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,200
How could you know a thing like that?

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,800
"The marriage of captain Tom Lister,
of Shibden Hall,

11
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,400
"to Miss Ann Walker of Crow Nest."

12
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,880
It's a joke. It's a skit.

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,960
I think it's genuine, the apology.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,240
I think the editor really had no idea

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,880
he was reprinting anything
other than a bona fide

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,440
marriage announcement.

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,120
Mm.

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,120
Internal inquires were made
at the newspaper office

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,080
about how the item came to be reprinted.

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,440
It was inconclusive,

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,360
but the editor apologises
for not being more rigorous

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,360
before it went into print
a second time and for the...

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,440
...embarrassment it caused.

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,200
Oh, I wasn't embarrassed.

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,800
But this will satisfy Miss Walker
at least,

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,840
who did not expect to see it
reprinted in the Halifax Guardian.

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,640
Moving on...

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Bradley has assessed Northgate House.

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,320
He thinks I need to spend another £1,000

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,400
to turn it into a good inn.

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440
And then Thomas Greenwood's all for
leasing it at £200 a year,

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,320
although Bradley thinks
I should be asking nearer 300.

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,880
Would it not be wise,

34
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,600
at the risk of repeating myself,

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920
to sell it and settle
some of your borrowing?

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,080
No! Good Lord, no.
We've had this conversation.

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Oh, and I've decided
to accept Mawson's offer

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,680
for the tenancy of the Stump Cross Inn.

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,720
Oh, well, he seems to be...

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,400
Good. I'll tell him to come and see
you about signing the lease.

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,760
And Mytholm, it looks like
Aquilla Green might take it.

42
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,520
Oh, I thought that Mallinson...

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,000
Mallinson is a yellow.

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,720
I spoke to him about it,

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,760
and he admitted he would
never dare give a blue vote,

46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,680
so that's that. I told him until
he could we couldn't agree.

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,440
You do need to be careful.

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,640
Oh, yes. Electoral intimidation.

49
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,760
Yes, I suppose they'll have me up
before the select committee

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,520
before long, and believe you me,
I would go, and with pleasure.

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Yes, it's...

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,760
The yellows are the authors
of this repugnant practice

53
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,280
of exclusive dealing, Mr Parker, not me,

54
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,560
for all Mr William Briggs's efforts
to disclaim it in the Guardian.

55
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:35,240
And well may he do so,
for the yellows are the losers.

56
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,080
I had to be really quite sharp
with Mr Nicholson the other day,

57
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,680
due to the want of civility
shown Miss Walker

58
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,240
by one of his young men.

59
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,120
We may shop there again
because we pride ourselves

60
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,640
in rising above such nonsense,
but others won't,

61
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,120
not if they're addressed
so impertinently.

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,400
And then where would Mr Nicholson
be, hm?

63
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,000
- Out of business.
- I agree.

64
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,720
In a trading town like Halifax,
we all depend on...

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040
And what was that idiotic
marriage announcement,

66
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,160
if not some feeble attempt
to intimidate, to humiliate me?

67
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Some cowardly effort to point
a finger because they don't like

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,520
my opinions or the cut of my jib,
or any of it.

69
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Yes, that's...

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,540
How dare anyone speak to me
about intimidation.

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:29,000

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,000
How are you getting on?

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,680
We've had some very bad news.

74
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Is that Anne?

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Mr Sunderland's dead.

76
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,480
We've just had a note from Dr Kenny.

77
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,640
He was with him all last night,

78
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,280
him and Dr Jubb, and then he died,

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560
just gone midnight, just like that.

80
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Well, what was the matter with him?

81
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,720
Gout of the stomach, apparently.

82
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,720
Although...

83
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,600
- Aunt.
- Oh...

84
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Apparently, he was knocked down,

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,880
in Halifax, in some skirmish.

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,200
And this was after the election
result was declared.

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Well, he must've got caught up
in the throng

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,120
and banged his head and...

89
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,040
They think he was trampled on.

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,760
- No.
- Where will it end, all this nastiness?

91
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:41,960
You're perfectly safe, Aunt.

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Yes, I am, but what about you?
You're never in.

93
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,120
Well, I'm never very far away,

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,320
and I have a lot of business
on hand so...

95
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,800
Oh, poor, poor Mr Sunderland.

96
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Dr Kenny's offered to visit
Aunt Anne if she... No!

97
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,800
No. No, no, no.

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,120
No. We'll send for Dr Jubb

99
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,680
when we need someone.

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,840
- But Dr Kenny's offering...
- Anne?

101
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,000
Is that her?

102
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,280
Oh, yes.

103
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,800
- Father wants to see you.
- Mm.

104
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,840
I'd rather see Dr Jubb.

105
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,880
I don't know what's the matter
with Dr Kenny. He's perfectly...

106
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,600
- Yes, Father?
- Where have you been?

107
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Nowhere. Well, Halifax.

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,840
Now I'm going to the pit
to see Hinscliffe.

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,560
This arrived. Shut the door!

110
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Oh!

111
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,080
This came. I opened it.

112
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,920
I assumed it was for me, Captain Lister.

113
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,320
But clearly not.

114
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,900
Some wit, some wag,

115
00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:32,400
begging to "congratulate the parties

116
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,840
"on their happy connection".

117
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,560
Who's seen this?

118
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,740
Nobody.

119
00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:39,000
Has Miss Walker seen this?

120
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,600
- No!
- Has Aunt Anne seen this?

121
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,240
No. Just me.

122
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,960
It'll be the Briggses.

123
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,160
10-to-1 it's the Briggses.

124
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,120
You know, if you didn't draw
attention to how odd you are,

125
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,100
they wouldn't do these things.

126
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,080
You'd better get up and get dressed
and get some fresh air.

127
00:05:58,860 --> 00:06:00,880
You won't recover lying in bed all day.

128
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,080
I'm amazed you've been at it
this long and not got it sunk.

129
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,760
Well, we've been unlucky.

130
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,600
It collapsed at one point, and then
we had to put everything on hold

131
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,040
to build the drift.

132
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,320
Oh, and there was another pantomime
finding a horse fit to turn the gin.

133
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,800
That was Holt.

134
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,760
But we're at 90 yards now,

135
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,960
and they're confident they can
reach the lower bed

136
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,880
by June, July... August.

137
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,600
But, yes, this is why a second
opinion wouldn't go amiss.

138
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,440
I can't afford any more delays.
I need good advice.

139
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,120
I do like Holt, but...

140
00:06:37,313 --> 00:06:39,520
What's the plan once it's sunk?

141
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Where will you sell it,
up here or down in Halifax?

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,040
Both.

143
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Pickles is building a new road along
the top to join the Old Bank,

144
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,680
just below Whiskham.

145
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,160
Then I can cart it down
into Halifax, sell it there

146
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
for a shilling more than I can
at the pit mouth.

147
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,240
But...

148
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,400
...getting and selling coal
is just one part of the scheme.

149
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680
- Mm-hm.
- The other would be...

150
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,800
...to be in a position where I could
throw water on Rawson's pit.

151
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,920
Not just to stop the trespass,
but to prove it.

152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,720
And soon.

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Well, like I said, we might have
fallen out over that business

154
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,520
up at Willy Hill pit,

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,640
but when it comes to dealing
with the Rawsons

156
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,280
I'll be a friend to anyone
who'll be a friend to me.

157
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Thank you.

158
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,680
Did you know I've bought Staups?

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040
So you've got Spiggs colliery?

160
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
There's a little complication
that needs dealing with,

161
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560
but, yes, strategically, potentially,

162
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,360
it gives me more options

163
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,160
and a lot more control over the coal
across the whole of my estate.

164
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,800
Oh, I can see that.

165
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,560
If it's handled well.

166
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,920
I don't know that I can rely on Holt
to come up with a good, solid,

167
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,320
coordinated plan and see it through
without me having to manage

168
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,840
the thing myself.

169
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,100
But if you helped me...

170
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,040
I've been thinking for a while
about opening a new pit,

171
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,520
further down this way.

172
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Sounds like you've got a plan.

173
00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:24,800
Why would you need me?

174
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,600
Because I don't know enough.

175
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000
I learn more and more every day,
and the more I learn

176
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600
the more I realise how much can go wrong

177
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:34,280
and how much I don't know,

178
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,400
and just what a slippery business
it all is.

179
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,080
See, this is why I don't dislike Holt.

180
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,480
For all of his faults, I...

181
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,080
I do believe he's as straight as a die.

182
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,400
Whereas you, Hinscliffe,

183
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,160
I'm not really sure I could trust
you any further than I could spit.

184
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Not that I ever would.

185
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,720
You can think what you like
about me, Miss Lister,

186
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,640
but the bottom line is I'm hoping,
if I do you a favour,

187
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120
happen next time I need one back,

188
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,760
you'd be more inclined to oblige me
than you were last time.

189
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:14,480
What's this "little complication"
that needs dealing with?

190
00:09:16,753 --> 00:09:19,840
William Keighley and John Oates
and Jack Green

191
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,120
believe they have some
kind of claim to the loose coal

192
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
underneath Spiggs' land, which,
to be clear, I already owned,

193
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000
but which they can only access via
my newly acquired colliery.

194
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,320
But there's nothing about it
in my uncle's records,

195
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,800
which there would be if he'd have
come to an arrangement with them

196
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,320
about the loose.

197
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,920
So I'm wondering about flooding Spiggs,

198
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,080
which I can do because I own it,

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,440
and stopping them taking the loose.

200
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,840
Except, then, the worry is
I might flood Walker pit

201
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,480
at the same time, before
I've bottomed it

202
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,120
and got to the trespass.

203
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,600
You wouldn't.

204
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:56,920
Really?

205
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,840
If you flooded Spiggs,
it wouldn't touch Walker pit.

206
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Oh?

207
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Now, will you tell Holt
you're getting rid of him,

208
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,280
or shall I?

209
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,480
Holt.

210
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,440
I-I won't come in.

211
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,680
So I need to talk to you about...

212
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,000
How are you, ma'am?

213
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Very well. So the thing is...
Thank you. The thing is...

214
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,520
What it is...

215
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,680
I was going to pop
over and see you today

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,600
about Mr Walker Priestley's coal
and Mrs Machin's coal.

217
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:34,720
What about them?

218
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,400
Well, he will sell his coal
at £160 an acre.

219
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,400
Both beds, hard and soft,
upper and lower.

220
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160
I've offered him 140. He's asked
for ten days to think about it,

221
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,760
but between you and me I'd go up to
160 rather than miss the deal,

222
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,120
because he'll be tempted to go
to Rawson otherwise.

223
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,200
And we don't want that, do we?

224
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Not down there!

225
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,480
Same at the Machins'.

226
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,440
Now, they've promised me first refusal.

227
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,160
And it's more complicated again
with them, like.

228
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,120
- You know she drinks.
- Who does?

229
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,160
- She does, Mrs Machin.
- No, I didn't know that,

230
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,560
but how... How would I know that?

231
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,800
Thing is the land was left half to her

232
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,160
and half to her children,

233
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,400
and they don't all get on.

234
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Well, there's one daughter
in York Castle for debt.

235
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,840
So they all have to agree who
they sell their coal rights to,

236
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,440
and they can hardly agree
which way is up,

237
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,960
never mind who they might sell
their coal to.

238
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,520
Now, I'm well in with 'em...

239
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Well enough. As well as anybody.

240
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,160
...and they'd sell it to me rather
than him, Rawson, by choice,

241
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,360
me buying on your behalf, of course,
not that they need know that.

242
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,520
But if he offers them a premium,

243
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,320
one of 'em might get it into their
heads to go with him.

244
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,160
And you can't let that happen,

245
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,800
not down there,

246
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,840
otherwise Rawson's got another back
door straight onto your beds.

247
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,440
- Do you see that?
- Mm.

248
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,240
If I was to flood Spiggs colliery
to stop access to the loose coal,

249
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,920
there's no danger that I could
accidentally flood Walker pit

250
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,160
at the same time, is there?

251
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,560
Oh, yes.

252
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,280
Well, it's highly probable you wou...

253
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,160
Who's told you different?

254
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,480
I don't know who to believe.

255
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:20,120
I was going to let Holt go,
but I... I need him.

256
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,880
I just need to manage them all better.

257
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,360
I told Holt that he must take care
of Mr Walker Priestley's coal

258
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,000
for me, and the Machins, and then
I explained that I'd instructed

259
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480
Hinscliffe to work up a plan to
look after Walker pit for me.

260
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:35,360
How did he take that?

261
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,840
Badly, but...

262
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240
...I need to glean what I can
from them all,

263
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,280
and then...

264
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,000
...make my own judgments.

265
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920
Mm.

266
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,720
They say that Holt drinks, but...

267
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,240
...I've never smelt it on him.

268
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,200
Well, he's getting on a bit, isn't he?

269
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,960
Perhaps he's just... forgetting.

270
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,600
I'm sorry if I upset you,

271
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,300
this morning.

272
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720
I've always tried to do my best for you,

273
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,520
one way and another.

274
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,440
It's just I...

275
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,440
I haven't always known how.

276
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,500
And I'm sorry if I said the wrong thing.

277
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,120
Are you sure about
this Northgate business,

278
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840
turning it into a hotel?

279
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,440
It'll cost money.

280
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,920
And...

281
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,720
...what if it fails?

282
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,920
You don't want to get yourself
laughed at.

283
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,200
Goodnight.

284
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Goodnight.

285
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,360
Adney?

286
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,720
Stop leaning on me.

287
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,840
What's the matter, hm?

288
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,760
My little Adney.

289
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,000
You need to brush your teeth.

290
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,060
I read your letter,

291
00:14:19,140 --> 00:14:21,360
to Lady Harriet in Copenhagen.

292
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,280
Was there something the matter with it?

293
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,240
Was it not elegantly expressed?

294
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,440
Hm?

295
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Adney, I thought you'd like it.

296
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,200
I thought you'd be charmed by it.

297
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Was it the bit about you?

298
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,520
Adney?

299
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,720
I did ask if I might mention you
and you were delighted. Did I...

300
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Did I misread that?

301
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,960
Adney, I've had a long day.

302
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,720
I've been dealing with men all day.

303
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,120
Tiresome, inarticulate men.

304
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,720
Read it.

305
00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,840
Aloud.

306
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,120
The bit about me.

307
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,040
Ah.

308
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,280
"You used to wonder
who would be my companion.

309
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080
"I think I have provided one
you will like.

310
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,520
"She is little and amiable with
a great deal of common sense

311
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,960
"and good feeling.

312
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,120
"She is now with me here at Shibden,

313
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,040
"and I have never before been
so comfortable at home."

314
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,360
What's not to like?

315
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,120
It's in brackets.

316
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,520
You've put me in brackets!

317
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,400
It's a clause, an aside,
in a bigger paragraph

318
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320
about when she and I hope...

319
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,400
...when we all will next meet.

320
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,600
Yes, I'm a clause. I'm an aside.

321
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Nonsense. It's an elegant interjection.

322
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:52,920
I've been canvassed over.

323
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,760
No, you've been elegantly introduced.

324
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,320
As an afterthought.

325
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,280
Well, I'm sorry if you think
that's how it reads.

326
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,360
"I'm sorry if you think..."
Oh, I hate that,

327
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,720
that's what men say.

328
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,760
"I'm sorry if YOU'RE so stupid
that YOU'VE misunderstood."

329
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,360
I never said anything about stupid,
nor would I.

330
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,280
- It's an ugly word.
- It's implicit.

331
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Well, then, I shall go and
rewrite my letter.

332
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,800
No.

333
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,760
You needn't do that. I wouldn't wish
to put you to the trouble.

334
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,240
You could merely delete
any reference to me.

335
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,720
That would answer.

336
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,720
Useful to know where I am...

337
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,200
...in the pecking order.

338
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Now, that's just...

339
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,840
My bowels are all wrong again.

340
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,280
Adney?

341
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,960
Can I come in?

342
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,760
It's your house.

343
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,880
Don't say that.

344
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,160
I'm sorry if I...

345
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,360
...hurt you.

346
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,880
That's the last thing I'd...

347
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,080
It's just...

348
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,360
...striking the right note
in a letter like that...

349
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,240
People are laughing at us.

350
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,760
No... No, they're not.

351
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,840
Lady Harriet would never be
so cruel or vulgar...

352
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,600
In Halifax, they are.

353
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,360
That idiotic marriage announcement,

354
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,520
reprinted twice, and then that
humiliating business at Nicholson's.

355
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,040
Oh, I think if anyone's humiliated
at Nicholson's, it's not us,

356
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,480
it's Nicholson's silly lads.

357
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,120
I shan't go back there.
I know you want us to...

358
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,040
No, we must.

359
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,720
We must make a point of going in
there again and again.

360
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,600
We must be consistently clear
that we have nothing to hide,

361
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,400
nothing to be ashamed of.

362
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,660
I'm not strong like you.

363
00:19:00,780 --> 00:19:02,380
I dwell on things.

364
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,760
Do you remember at Crow Nest

365
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,000
when Mrs Priestley walked in on us,

366
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,040
and you laughed?

367
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,360
I was mortified, and you...

368
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:18,720
You laughed.

369
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,160
I think, in that moment,

370
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,200
I saw for the first time the real you.

371
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,880
Who is as brave as anyone.

372
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,720
You're stronger than you think.

373
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,520
What I'm wondering, Miss Lister,

374
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,160
is if we've been thinking too small.

375
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,720
I had expected ground plans and
elevations, Mr Bradley,

376
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,640
based on our last conversation,
not more sketches.

377
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,480
Oh, they're well under way.

378
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,580
But you've got all this land.

379
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,280
And I know that you want your inn,

380
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:15,600
casino, whatever you want to call it,

381
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,120
up and running by March next year,

382
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,680
but within that same timescale, frame...

383
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,040
This all depends how ambitious
you want to be.

384
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:25,440
Oh, I don't think anyone can accuse
me of lacking ambition, Mr Bradley.

385
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,080
So... Exactly.

386
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,400
So what if... And this is something
you could easily accommodate

387
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,840
in the available space, it all
depends upon how much capital

388
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,040
you've got to play with.

389
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:38,600
But what if we were to build
new premises here too,

390
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,400
for, say, a bank?

391
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,040
And a news room?

392
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,240
And instead of four or five houses,

393
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,000
you've enough land here for
28 brand-new houses.

394
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,000
This entire area could become
a whole new commercial

395
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,740
enclave within the town.

396
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:04,880
And think of the income that
that could generate in rent.

397
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,360
Hmm.

398
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,520
You're going to need a licence
for this, ah, inn,

399
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,640
casino, whatever we're calling it
this week.

400
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,200
And if you're serious,
I'd apply for it now.

401
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,800
There's no point in throwing
money at the thing

402
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,600
and then finding the magistrates
won't license it.

403
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Well, why wouldn't they?

404
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,400
Well, it's just with Christopher Rawson

405
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,840
being the chief magistrate...

406
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Well, he'd have no reason.

407
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,200
I mean, such an establishment could
only be an asset to the town.

408
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,640
Yes, but we both know what he's like.

409
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,880
- Leave it with me.
- Yeah.

410
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,760
Mr Bradley thinks I'd need
to spend another £4,000

411
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,400
on this new scheme.

412
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,560
- Miss Lister...
- Oh, I've been meaning to ask.

413
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,160
If I were a man, for which
I have 1001 reasons

414
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,120
to thank heaven and providence
that I'm not,

415
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,320
would you even think to question
the amount of money I'm borrowing?

416
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,680
All right?

417
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080
- Mr Booth.
- Dr Jubb.

418
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,280
- Have you heard the news, sir?
- Which, sir?

419
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,640
Parliament, sir. Dissolved.

420
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,680
Oh, yeah. We all know about it.
Miss Lister's...

421
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,440
So we must endure
an indifferent Melbourne

422
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,480
once again.

423
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,320
And we might've had the intellect
and integrity of appeal.

424
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,000
And you'll have heard the latest,
in Halifax.

425
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,560
If Charles Wood is offered high office

426
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,560
in the new Whig administration,

427
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,280
which they seem to think he will be,

428
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:07,560
it'll trigger a by-election.

429
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,200
Another election? Oh...

430
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,400
And people are saying Mr Rawson himself

431
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,560
will stand this time.

432
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,200
Mr Rawson? Mr Christopher Rawson?

433
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,760
So vexed was he by the attack
on his property

434
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,240
a few short weeks ago.

435
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,120
Is that a good idea?

436
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,720
Would not Mr Henry Edwards

437
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,800
be a better choice of candidate
for Halifax?

438
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Mr Henry Edwards?

439
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,680
I doubt he has either the money
or the stomach for it.

440
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,120
I think Mr Henry Edwards
might surprise us all,

441
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,560
given the chance. Hm, Aunt?

442
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,680
Would you not support
Mr Rawson, Miss Lister,

443
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,320
with your great influence?

444
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,700
Yes.

445
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,400
Without doubt, without question.

446
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,680
If he was the chosen Tory candidate
and I had influence over 1000 votes,

447
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,200
then he should have every one of them.

448
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,720
I just question whether a man who has...

449
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,000
...offended members of some
of the oldest families in Halifax

450
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,280
is best placed to unite
the Tory vote in a way that's

451
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:06,600
necessary in such difficult times?

452
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,960
Has he? Has he?

453
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:14,280
- Whereas Mr Henry Edwards...
- Mm. Well, Mr Rawson is...

454
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,480
He can be, erm...

455
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,760
...abrasive.

456
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,920
Is Miss Lister...

457
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,720
There's a Mr William Keighley
downstairs, ma'am.

458
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,880
He says Mr Hinscliffe's sent him to...

459
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,040
Something about Staups, Spiggs colliery.

460
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,680
Perhaps, Dr Jubb,
when you do your rounds,

461
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,360
you could intimate to anyone
who's concerned

462
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,240
that others, such as Mr Henry Edwards,

463
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,760
might be better placed to lead the way

464
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,720
and unite the blue vote.

465
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,600
No need to say from whence
the thought sprang.

466
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,360
My aunt and I would hate
to be thought of

467
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,640
as intermeddlers in anything political.

468
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,520
Mr Keighley!

469
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,720
Miss Lister.

470
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,880
Come through.

471
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,720
So it's a record of
all the expenses I've had

472
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800
driving the drift through
Well Royd Holmes.

473
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,840
Totals £507, 16 shillings
and five pence,

474
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,880
which you'll appreciate
I'd not have spent

475
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,080
had I not had this agreement
with your uncle over the Spiggs coal

476
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,840
in the first place.

477
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,600
Now, if you look in the back...

478
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,440
...you'll see there's a memorandum.

479
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,320
£100, paid by me to your Uncle James
to get all the coal in Spiggs land.

480
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,240
But the fact is there's no record
to corroborate any of this

481
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,680
in my uncle's accounts.

482
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Well, I know nowt about that.

483
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,280
I just know I've spent a lot of
money in good faith.

484
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:56,480
Why is this memorandum at the back
and not in the correct chronology

485
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,580
with the earlier parts of the accounts?

486
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,760
It... It's just...

487
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,840
It's just the way I did it.

488
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,000
I know it wouldn't stand up
in a court of law,

489
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,640
but, you know, let's hope
it doesn't go that far.

490
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,160
It's just the only record
I've got of what we agreed.

491
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,720
The problem, from my point of view,

492
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,360
and I only ever wish
to do that which is fair,

493
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,280
I've just bought Staups for
a significant sum

494
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,720
and I need some return on my investment.

495
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,520
If you try and get Spiggs coal,

496
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,760
I will flood the pit to prevent access

497
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,600
and try the matter at York.

498
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,120
I'm sorry, but there it is.

499
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Not only did my uncle make
no record of it,

500
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,120
but he never mentioned anything
of the matter to me

501
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,000
at the time, and nothing
of this arose in the last

502
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,840
however many months it's taken to
complete the purchase of Staups,

503
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,120
with the searches and so forth, so...

504
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,960
You do know, if you flood Spiggs

505
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,600
you'll flood your little pit up here.

506
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,840
Not necessarily.

507
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,120
Almost certainly you would.

508
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,480
There seems to be some difference
of opinion on that.

509
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,880
Who's told you otherwise?

510
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,040
Hinscliffe?

511
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,920
Well, he would say that.

512
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,680
He would say the opposite
and then happily watch it flood.

513
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:14,940
And do you know why?

514
00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:18,840
Because he's had more of your coal
than the Rawsons have.

515
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,120
Morning, ma'am.

516
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,800
Has Mr Hinscliffe been up
to see you today?

517
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,600
He popped up this morning.

518
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,000
I suppose you and your brothers
think I'm foolish

519
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,840
to trust him above Holt?

520
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:47,200
Who's to say?

521
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,520
I don't necessarily trust him.

522
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,480
I'm just using him to get some
information from him.

523
00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:55,240
If I was to stop the loose at Spiggs,

524
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,160
how would it affect this pit,

525
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,600
in your opinion?

526
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,760
Oh, I...

527
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,640
Would it flood it,
or would it not flood it?

528
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,400
Well, our Robert'd have an opinion.

529
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,600
He'd certainly know about Spiggs.

530
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,640
He's worked all t'mines round here.

531
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,840
Where is Robert?

532
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,000
He's... digging.

533
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Ah.

534
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,720
So was it right, then,
what Mr Hinscliffe said?

535
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,360
You're thinking of sinking another
pit further down nearer t'Hall?

536
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,960
Only I hope you'd consider us, ma'am,

537
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,360
to sink it, if you did.

538
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,720
For the right price.

539
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,080
What's the plan, then?

540
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,560
The plan...

541
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,120
...would be to sink
this other pit somewhere,

542
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,760
50 or 60 yards Shibden Hall
side of Walker pit,

543
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,960
and drive two drifts up to it
from such a place in the lower land

544
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,440
as I could build a water-wheel
to power a pit engine.

545
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,080
Speak to Robert.

546
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,280
Tell him to come and see me if he
thinks he can be useful, hm?

547
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,160
- Anne!
- Ah. There you are.

548
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,240
I've found something,
in my family papers.

549
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,080
Well, two things, actually.
One I half-knew

550
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,400
but I'd half-forgotten,
and the other, I had no idea.

551
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,520
What?

552
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,560
Well, it would... It would appear
that, erm...

553
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,520
What?

554
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,520
Well, erm, that in 1831
my sister, legally,

555
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,320
through lease and re-lease
and some sort of deed of sale,

556
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,160
conveyed all of her property
onto Captain Sutherland.

557
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,920
All of it, everything.
All her share of the estate.

558
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,440
And that's contrary, directly contrary,

559
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,960
to a provision set out
by my father in his will,

560
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,920
which protects us both
from having to submit

561
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,360
our fortunes to any husbands.

562
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,440
Does it?

563
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,720
I mean, why would she do that?

564
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,640
Why would she give up that protection?

565
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,080
And why would she not tell me
that's what she was doing?

566
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,360
So... Hang on. So your father...

567
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200
So my father made provision in his will,

568
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,720
in the event of my brother's death,

569
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,960
for me and Elizabeth to jointly
inherit everything.

570
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,160
But he also made what I was always given

571
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,840
to believe was an unshakeable clause...

572
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,640
contrary to the normal
way of doing things,

573
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,800
that stated that,
should we ever get married,

574
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,800
we must, and would, retain ownership

575
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,440
in our own share of the estate, but...

576
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,280
- That was interesting of him, to do that.
- Yes, but in 1831...

577
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,040
He never mentioned this when
Ainsworth was sniffing about.

578
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,800
Yes, no. Exactly.

579
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,120
He did it to deter fortune hunters
like him.

580
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,720
But then, in 1831,
three years after they were married,

581
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,120
she submitted everything to him,
to Captain Sutherland.

582
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,920
And, Anne, I just...

583
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,800
I can't believe she would've
done that willingly.

584
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,080
He must've bullied and cajoled
and coerced her

585
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,720
into signing away her half of
the family's... Everything.

586
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Knowing that it's contrary to
what my father intended.

587
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,320
Anne, she'd never hurt me.

588
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,760
And there are few things in this
world I have the confidence

589
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,200
to state so boldly, but one thing
I know for sure is

590
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,800
that Elizabeth would never
willingly cheat me out of

591
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,840
what's ours, but she has because of him.

592
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:56,920
Cheated you how?

593
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,760
Some of its property that
on her death would've reverted

594
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,560
to the estate, to me.

595
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,320
They don't know that I might
not still have children.

596
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,120
He's found a legal loophole to
make a mockery of it all,

597
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,820
and to, well, to steal it.

598
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,800
What was the other thing?

599
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,400
So, John, my John,
always used to complain

600
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,120
that Mr Priestley and his brother John

601
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,160
had worked their way into
my uncle's affections

602
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,160
till he ended up leaving them
things in his will

603
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,600
that should've remained entailed
to my father.

604
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,600
I never thought of it as my business

605
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,320
but then here it is in black and white.

606
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,800
They have had three properties from us,

607
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,320
substantial properties.

608
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Blackcastle, which is an allotment
to High Sunderland,

609
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,840
Hall End in Halifax

610
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,200
and Longley Farm over in Norland.

611
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,640
My uncle had no right to give them away,

612
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,760
and it galls me even more since
the Priestleys have been

613
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,760
so objectionable to us.

614
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,480
Parker drew this up.

615
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,440
But who did the legal work
on this other business

616
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,280
with Captain and Mrs Sutherland?

617
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,400
Erm...

618
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,920
Parker and Adam.

619
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,360
I've never liked Parker.

620
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,360
I don't know why you put
so much faith in him.

621
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,160
Maybe it's not irreversible.

622
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,480
Let's go and consult Mr Gray
in York on both matters.

623
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,760
Do you think my family have
any clue about what

624
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,360
Captain Sutherland's done?

625
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Of course we knew.

626
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,600
We all knew.

627
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,640
All but me!

628
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,440
Oh, well, you weren't well.
We kept it from you.

629
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,720
All your cousins and uncles
and aunts knew.

630
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,360
And it's precisely because of it
that we've been so zealous in trying

631
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,320
to protect you and your fortune.

632
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,240
But, no, Elizabeth wouldn't've...

633
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,000
Elizabeth did it without scruple!

634
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,880
I don't believe for a second...

635
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,480
He ran rings around her.

636
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,400
She'd have done anything he asked.

637
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,400
Sense was out of the window,

638
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,240
and she might well regret it now,
now it's too late.

639
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,640
And that weak, odious Robert Parker...

640
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,720
He was meant to be acting for the family

641
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,520
but no, no...

642
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,160
No, Sutherland ran rings round him too.

643
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,480
I'm half-minded to change my will.

644
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,920
I thought you already had.

645
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,840
No. When? No.

646
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,320
You made Miss Lister your executor
instead of your cousin,

647
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,640
Mr Priestley, last year.

648
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,960
Who told you that?

649
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,400
Well, she did.

650
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,840
Last spring.

651
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,600
When you went missing,
when you absented yourself in York.

652
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,680
She used to come over here,
laying the law down.

653
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,680
I made her my executor, yes,

654
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,840
but the contents remain unchanged.

655
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,800
I certainly wouldn't change it
without telling you,

656
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,680
even if others have behaved
as they have.

657
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:32,920
What? What's the matter?

658
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,480
I...

659
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,040
Oh.

660
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,800
Aunt?

661
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,000
I, erm...

662
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,440
Well, I had imagined...

663
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,920
with all this talk of a formal division
of the estate,

664
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,840
that you had already
changed the will itself.

665
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,440
How? No.

666
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,960
In Miss Lister's favour.

667
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,400
Well, that's...

668
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:01,840
...a possibility.

669
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,800
And, yes, if I never have children,

670
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,360
and if Miss Lister and I
were to continue

671
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,400
as such kind companions, well,

672
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,920
yes, I hope we would think
to make some provision

673
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,360
for one another, but as things stand,

674
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,400
no, it still all goes to Elizabeth

675
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,080
and then to Sackville.

676
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,240
Well...

677
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,840
...I changed mine when you moved
into Shibden Hall.

678
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,960
I removed you from it,

679
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,440
in Elizabeth's favour.

680
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,180
There was a letter for you this morning,

681
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,280
in the post-bag.

682
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,520
From Washington.

683
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,080
Where is it?

684
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,880
Oh, do you want to see it?

685
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,960
I don't know. Is it interesting?

686
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,240
The distresses you requested
have all been carried out.

687
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,240
I didn't request anything.

688
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,680
A Mrs Greaves went
to Shibden Hall begging

689
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,440
not to be evicted, but apparently
your sister wouldn't hear of it.

690
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600
She was determined
to carry out the, ah...

691
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,880
Your... our...

692
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,560
...request to the very letter.

693
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,560
What a cruel time of year
to evict people.

694
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,560
Well, yes, I agree.

695
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,160
But if she wants a division
of the estate,

696
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:35,460
things must be put in order.

697
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,720
Washington tells me he's submitted
a proposal to her, to Ann,

698
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,440
for what he believes to be a fair
division of the various lots

699
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,280
of the estate,
based partly on contiguity

700
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,960
and partly on value, so...

701
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,960
We shall see what she sends us,

702
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:53,080
when she's gone through it.

703
00:35:53,940 --> 00:35:55,500
Although, I'm tempted...

704
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,120
Oh, I don't know. What?

705
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:00,720
I still don't know why
there's this great urgency

706
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,440
for the thing.

707
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,800
There's something
in her last few letters.

708
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,920
This...

709
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,720
...litigious tone.

710
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,280
She's suddenly become so confident,
so well informed.

711
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,680
I'm wondering whether
you shouldn't write to her

712
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,960
and say that, whilst in principle
we... you're happy with the division,

713
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,920
you think it might be better to wait
until we can visit them,

714
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,320
when the weather's
better for travelling.

715
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,040
That would be...

716
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,240
Yes, I'd like that.

717
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,960
Good. Good!

718
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,640
I think, before we sign off
on the thing,

719
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:41,880
we should satisfy ourselves

720
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,760
there's nothing nefarious going on

721
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,680
with your family.

722
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,000
Although, as I say, I always
imagined Miss Lister would

723
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,680
protect her from any nonsense. Mm.

724
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,680
Yes, curious woman...

725
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,400
...Miss Lister.

726
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,840
Well, I'm delighted Miss Walker's
gone to see her aunt.

727
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Not that I dislike her,
not for a moment.

728
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,880
I'm thrilled for her and just
jealous that she has you

729
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,880
to gaze at all day.

730
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,080
When I'm in.

731
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,160
This is the second time in three months.

732
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:16,720
What are you after?

733
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,400
Only to gaze upon you.

734
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,040
I was telling you about my planned
developments at Northgate House.

735
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:25,920
Oh, yes.

736
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,080
Your Uncle Joseph would be livid!

737
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,320
Yes.

738
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,240
Yes, but the world moves forward,
and sometimes

739
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,880
we have to move with it.

740
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,520
And don't you agree, Mrs Rawson,

741
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,160
that this whole enterprise
could be a huge boon for the town?

742
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:40,480
Oh, yes, yes.

743
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,000
Well, the town gets bigger by the week.

744
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,760
Precisely, and this could create
a whole new enclave.

745
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,600
And I'm not such a noodle as
to refuse what would pay

746
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,720
such good returns.

747
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,920
A whole new quarter.

748
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
As long as no-one were to obstruct me

749
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,160
in getting a licence for
my casino... inn.

750
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:03,520
- Hotel.
- Oh, is that what you're after?

751
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,400
My influence.

752
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,240
Well, I would hope I wouldn't need it.

753
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,200
As I say, I would hope
that such a venture

754
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,080
would be eloquent of its own merits.

755
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,720
But, certainly, one word from you,

756
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,520
in the right ear,

757
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,240
would be worth 1000 from anybody else.

758
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,600
Mr Rawson.

759
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,880
Mrs Rawson.

760
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,880
Mother!

761
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,000
- Oh, hello.
- Mr Rawson.

762
00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:36,800
Christopher, is it true
what Miss Lister tells me,

763
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,480
that you're standing for Parliament?

764
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,760
Oh, you've heard!

765
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,426
Is it wise?

766
00:38:41,506 --> 00:38:44,040
Yes, I've put my name forward
and expect to be adopted

767
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,960
- at the next committee meeting.
- You have too many trades.

768
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,520
- Who said that?
- Me. I said it.

769
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,320
No point in looking at Miss Lister.

770
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,160
And it's what your father
used to say too.

771
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:58,000
What a shame you can't stand for
Parliament, Miss Lister.

772
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,040
With your superior intellect and
your powers of diplomacy

773
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,880
and persuasion, you would've stood

774
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,600
head and shoulders above anyone else!

775
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,280
Good Lord, look at the time.

776
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,880
She should be running the country.

777
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,920
Yes, what a shame.

778
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,040
Oh, she's not leaving?

779
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,560
I was very sorry, Mr Rawson...

780
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,040
to hear about the mindless vandalism

781
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,480
at Hope Hall.

782
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:26,720
Yes, well... And to assure you,
as I told Dr Jubb, that,

783
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,400
if you are to be
Tory candidate for the town

784
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,400
and I had influence over 1000 votes,

785
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,920
you would have every one of them.

786
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,840
Au revoir.

787
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,200
À bientôt.

788
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,600
Mr Rawson.

789
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Miss Lister.

790
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,920
Ugh. That colour's never suited you.

791
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,880
"Dearest Freddy...

792
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,360
"It is something new to feel
that I write

793
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,200
"for two sets of eyes instead of one.

794
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,840
"Now that my mind is more at ease,

795
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,280
"I hope to get into better health.

796
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,320
"Either you or the medicines
have done me good.

797
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,480
"And, as you have often said,

798
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,840
"knowing the worst is often
the best means

799
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,680
"of reconciling ourselves to it.

800
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,640
"Come what may,

801
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:23,040
"however at variance with my wishes,

802
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,320
"there is one subject left in which
I will never disappoint you.

803
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,640
"I will always...

804
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,240
_

805
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480
"I once wronged my own heart
to please my family,

806
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,520
"but this was not doing right,

807
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,320
"and dearly I have paid for it.

808
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,600
"But the scale is now turned,

809
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,200
"and my thoughts are now set upon...

810
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,920
"deserving your good
opinion to the last,

811
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,440
"and I will not put it
in your power to find fault

812
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,600
"with me again."

813
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,920
Hmm.

814
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:01,800
Where's Miss Walker?

815
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,720
Hmm?

816
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,760
Oh, she's not well.

817
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,240
Again?

818
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,320
It's this... nonsense with her aunt.

819
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,360
Every time she goes over there,
she says something cruel

820
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,320
and unnecessary, and it always
knocks her for six.

821
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,600
Oh, I'm sorry.

822
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,680
"When you speak of your 'little friend',

823
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,600
"write her name in full.

00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,560
"I dislike the initial.

"Indulge my fancy
and let the name you write

826
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,840
"be the one you call her by.

827
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,760
"And tell me, Freddy..."

828
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,480
Is that Mrs Lawton's handwriting?

829
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,800
It is, yes.

830
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,920
- "Tell me, Freddy..."
- Has she got anything fresh?

831
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Well, let's see, shall we?

832
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,520
"Tell me, Freddy, do you see
the York papers?

833
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,760
"And do you know anything
of a paragraph that appeared in one

834
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,760
"respecting yourself and Miss Walker?

835
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,880
"I long to know what it was.

836
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,680
"Tell me if you've heard..."

837
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,880
If you'll excuse me,

838
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,800
I'm going to take Miss Walker
her letters and some tea.

839
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,760
Oh, and Mr Abbott's due this evening.

840
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,440
As usual. Just to remind you.

841
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,360
Just so you know to...

842
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520
...stay out of the way.

843
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,440
She wants to defer the division
of the estate again.

844
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,920
"Until we can travel more comfortably."

845
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,120
This is him.

846
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,720
He'll put it off and put it off
until it doesn't happen.

847
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,200
Who's this one from?

848
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,720
Perhaps we should instruct
Mr Gray to write to him

849
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,360
rather than her in future,

850
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,800
stop this pretence that it's
her who's being difficult, hm?

851
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,640
Ann?

852
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,160
Ann?

853
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:06,840
What is it?

854
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,320
"Dear Miss Walker. I fear
this may not reach you,

855
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,560
"but if it does I urge you,
under no circumstances,

856
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,120
"to show it to Miss Lister."

857
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,320
Bad luck.

858
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,800
"However much you may believe
this woman to be your friend,

859
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,320
"I tell you plainly she is not."

860
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,760
Do you recognise the hand?

861
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,080
No.

862
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,200
"Are you really unaware
of the unspeakable reputation

863
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,080
"this woman has?

864
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,520
"I see that she has already cut
you off from your family

865
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,040
"and friends and, though
you may not understand it,

866
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,520
"please believe me when I tell you

867
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,600
"that you are in the gravest danger."

868
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,600
Ooh-la-la!

869
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,960
"She will beguile you and,
before you know it,

870
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,400
"she will have tricked you
out of all you have,

871
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,680
"your reputation, your wealth,
your peace of mind.

872
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,040
"Ask her to tell you about Eliza Raine."

873
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,240
"I urge you to get away from her
and Shibden Hall

874
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,840
"as quickly as you can."

875
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,120
"Be assured that you will hear
from me again soon,

876
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,520
"and that I will not be at ease
until I know that you are

877
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,840
"in a place of greater safety.

878
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,840
"I am, madam, a well-wisher."

879
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,560
Anne?

880
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,360
Things like this.

881
00:44:37,220 --> 00:44:38,260
All my life.

882
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:40,320
Who's Eliza Raine?

883
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,080
I'll tell you about...

884
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,480
...Eliza Raine.

885
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,880
Is she another Mrs Lawton
or another Tib?

886
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,520
We were at school together
in York, 13-year-olds!

887
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,040
And then...

888
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,760
...when she was older...

889
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,920
...she had problems,

890
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,880
properly, not like...

891
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:12,160
She's been in an asylum in York
for the last 20-odd years.

892
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,040
And I visit her, occasionally,
for old time's sake,

893
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,920
but she's violent and she...

894
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,400
She spits and swears and
she's attacked me

895
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:24,960
more than once, and others.

896
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,720
She could never live independently,
the way she is.

897
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,280
So the person who sent this
knows about her?

898
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,680
Eliza used to come and stay
with us in Halifax,

899
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,760
over the summer.

900
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,160
Her parents were in India,
so she couldn't go home.

901
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,720
So it could be anyone in
Halifax that remembers her.

902
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,320
She's...

903
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,240
She was very striking to look at.
She's half Indian.

904
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,920
Were you in love with her?

905
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,560
I loved her, yes.

906
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:55,760
In love?

907
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:00,760
This has been sent to cause
division and upset.

908
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,080
Will you let it?

909
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:03,360
Was she in love with you?

910
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:04,800
Well, we were very young!

911
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,760
And the tawdry implication here
is that she ended up

912
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,040
the way she did because of me.

913
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:10,880
It's just... It's just nonsense.

914
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,960
I did everything I could to help her.

915
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:24,320
Burn it.

916
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,000
Please get up and get dressed,

917
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,560
for my sake,

918
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,600
for your own sake.

919
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,800
We can't give in to these people.

920
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,880
We must be better than them.

921
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
That'll be the men about the pit. I...

922
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:06,800
I've got to go.

923
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,000
Robert agrees with Mr Holt, ma'am.

924
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,880
He thinks you should bottom
Walker pit before you flood Spiggs.

925
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:48,160
And, as regards another pit
50, 60 yards this way,

926
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:49,520
I'd say it were a very good thing,
ma'am,

927
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,360
if you're willing to spend t'money.

928
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,200
Here. You dropped your...

929
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,520
Because then you could loose
a whole sweep of coal

930
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,560
lying on the Shibden Hall side
of Pump, and upwards in

931
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,720
a line parallel to the present
old waterhead

932
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,320
hold under Cunnery houses.

933
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,160
Where would you sink this new pit?

934
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,960
Well, if you're putting the water wheel

935
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,480
down at Tillyholme stile,

936
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,280
I'd say here,

937
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,480
at Pump, where you suggested.

938
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:16,960
And then if we drove two heads up
from Tillyholme stile,

939
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,840
- that's t'idea? - Yeah.
- Which we could do easily enough

940
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,640
if we made a vent hole
in t'corner of Dolt,

941
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:23,160
then this pit at Pump,

942
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:25,600
you'd have it working just as soon
as it were bottomed,

943
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,800
and it'd serve as a vent to Walker pit.

944
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,640
This way, all the coal
above the Wakefield Road

945
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:32,480
and between the two pits could be
pulled at Walker pit,

946
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,200
and all t'coal below Wakefield Road
could be pulled at

947
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,480
this new pit at Pump.

948
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,160
And then you'd be left
with a good barrier of coal

949
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:40,640
all along this side up here. So in
fact you could stop Spiggs colliery

950
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:42,960
any time you liked after
this second one's sunk,

951
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,760
and let all that face of coal
stand, covered in water,

952
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,960
ready to throw it on Mr Rawson's works

953
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,200
any time you wanted, which,
if he hadn't have trespassed,

954
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,200
you'd never have been able to do, so...

955
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,800
It'd be a way of proving
his trespass too.

956
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,480
And anyone else's.

957
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,520
How long do they say it'll take
to construct it?

958
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,560
To dig the drifts and sink
the pit, eight months.

959
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,360
As to the dam...

960
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,080
You'd have to give Carr notice
to quit the Well Royd land

961
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,720
if you're going to turn it into a dam.

962
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,920
His tenancy's up in eight months, so...

963
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,160
I've calculated that, for the volume
of water needed to turn

964
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:33,160
an 18-foot-diameter water wheel,
the dam needs to be four-foot deep

965
00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,720
across two acres, so with that
and the dam goit

966
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,240
we could be up and running in 12 months.

967
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,240
Do you know anyone with a theodolite?

968
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,600
Mr Priestley.

969
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:58,840
Miss Lister.

970
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:01,160
Were you at the hall?

971
00:50:01,900 --> 00:50:03,020
Ah, yes, I...

972
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:05,440
Yes, I went to see your father.

973
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,240
And your sister.

974
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,920
And my cousin. But she wasn't in.

975
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,880
No. She's in Huddersfield,
visiting her cousin Catherine.

976
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,680
Yes.

977
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,040
- So you've missed her.
- Yes.

978
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,720
Well, then, you've missed her
and you've caught me.

979
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,160
That probably wasn't the plan
at all, hm?

980
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:24,680
Plan?

981
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,040
I was hoping she might like
to make a subscription

982
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,320
to the clergyman's widows fund.

983
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,920
It's not beyond the realms
of possibility.

984
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,120
- Well, then.
- Well, then.

985
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,240
You'll have to try again another time.

986
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:43,680
Miss Lister.

987
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,040
Mr Priestley.

988
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,000
My dear Mary.

989
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,280
I can't at the moment turn
to the item from the newspaper

990
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,320
that you refer to, and so I must
send it another time,

991
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,120
but the announcement was, in substance,

992
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,720
"The marriage of Captain Tom Lister,
of Shibden Hall,

993
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,440
"and Miss Ann Walker,
late of Crow Nest."

994
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,920
On discovery of the hoax,

995
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,280
a handsome volunteer apology
was sent by the editor

996
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,280
of one of the papers,
and here the matter ended,

997
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,160
for nobody was annoyed
and nobody cared about it.

998
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:36,440
- Ma'am?
- Yes, thank you.

999
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,920
Thank you, Rachel.

1000
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,800
Thank you, Hemingway.

1001
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,680
We should start packing for tomorrow.

1002
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,360
I ordered the horses for nine.

1003
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,320
We should be in York by one.

1004
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,240
I'm not sure about this Mr Bradley.

1005
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,560
I'm not convinced his intellect
matches his ambition.

1006
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,720
Shall I do the duty?

1007
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,480
I didn't tell you this because...

1008
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,640
...I don't know.

1009
00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:22,360
But when you went to see Catherine
the other day,

1010
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,960
and Mr Priestley called,

1011
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,080
he was flustered and, I don't know,

1012
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,000
I wondered whether it was him
who wrote that letter,

1013
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,120
or her, or both of them,

1014
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,280
and he was calling to see
what effect it'd had.

1015
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,040
I don't care who sent it.

1016
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,440
It's irrelevant.

1017
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,400
I don't think we should
mention it again.

1018
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,160
I told Catherine about
what Elizabeth had done.

1019
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,560
Did she know?

1020
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:03,640
No.

1021
00:53:03,720 --> 00:53:05,640
I think she'd have told me if she did.

1022
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:09,520
We will sort this out.

1023
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,840
It just saddens me.

1024
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,440
What does?

1025
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,040
Thinking about what it's all for.

1026
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:25,760
And...

1027
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,480
...without children...

1028
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,880
...I'm not sure what it is all for.

1029
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:36,520
And is it not...

1030
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:40,600
Not?

1031
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,040
...God's purpose that we...

1032
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,400
...people...

1033
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,880
...have children?

1034
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,320
I just regret that
it will all go to them,

1035
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,600
ultimately, to Sackville.

1036
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,460
I never did before, before this, but...

1037
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,680
...it's just made me dwell on it all.

1038
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,260
And I suppose I had always
imagined that...

1039
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,440
...one day...

1040
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,240
...I would have..

1041
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,880
...children of my own. That's all.

1042
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,040
You once told me you felt
a kind of repugnance...

1043
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,320
...to forming any sort of connection

1044
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,240
with the opposite sex.

1045
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,480
It's not the same thing.

1046
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:33,880
Isn't it?

1047
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,920
You mean, you'd imagined children
but not marriage?

1048
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:41,800
To a man.

1049
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,240
I don't know. Yes.

1050
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,680
Somehow, I...

1051
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:48,480
...had imagined being...

1052
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:55,240
...a mother, but not being,
you know, with a man.

1053
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,280
So you haven't given up all thought

1054
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,520
of ever having children?

1055
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,000
It's not... It doesn't signify,
does it? I'm with you.

1056
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,600
It does signify.

1057
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:07,680
Because I need to have the confidence

1058
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,720
that this thing between us
is truly settled

1059
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,560
and I'm not just keeping you warm
until some man comes along.

1060
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,040
It's much the same as I told Marian
over Mr Abbott,

1061
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,800
you'll not find me any obstacle
to something you have

1062
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,240
very much at heart.

1063
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:22,360
Don't say that.

1064
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,640
Because I can be as a meteor
in your life,

1065
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:26,840
if that's what you'd like,
a meteor that burns

1066
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,840
more brightly than anything
you could ever imagine.

1067
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:31,520
And then is gone.

1068
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,160
Forever.

1069
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,520
Things like this.

1070
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:43,800
All my life!

1071
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,560
I pretend it gets easier,
but it doesn't.

1072
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,560
- Anne...
- We do things for us.

1073
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,440
That's who it's for.

1074
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,140
So that we can have a life
together. WE matter.

1075
00:55:53,220 --> 00:55:56,400
Having children isn't the only
reason to strive and do well

1076
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,160
and better oneself and be happy.

1077
00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:00,120
I'm sorry.

1078
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,280
It is, I've said it before,

1079
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,400
a great sadness that
we can never have children.

1080
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,360
But if you're not certain
it isn't something

1081
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,200
you'll want in the future, then...

1082
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,480
...I need to know about that now.

1083
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:18,720
Because it's something that
I can never give you.

1084
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,960
Just as we can never have a piece
of paper that says

1085
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,000
we have any kind of legal union
to bind us,

1086
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,760
neither can we have the bond
a child would give us.

1087
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,520
So we have to be certain...

1088
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,560
- You're frightening me.
- I'm frightening you?

1089
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,400
- I'm sorry.
- You have to be certain...

1090
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,440
...before we set off for York,

1091
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,720
before we think any further
about changing our wills,

1092
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:44,280
that this, here, with me,
is what you want.

1093
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:45,760
I want to be with you,

1094
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,040
more than anything in the whole world.

1095
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,720
- You know that.
- Nevertheless...

1096
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,600
...it is a great sacrifice,

1097
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,240
and if you're not sure it's one
you can make,

1098
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,000
well, then...

1099
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,320
I'm going to start packing for York.

1100
