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

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...

"deserving your good
opinion to the last,

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.

"Indulge my fancy

"be the one you call her by.

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?

00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,880

"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

you off from your family

you may not understand it,

"please believe me when I tell you

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
00:57:54,660 --> 00:57:59,160
