-All that Glitters...

-Ffynnon Oer, March 1921

-'Good luck in London.'

-< Grandad!

-Get a move on!

-Marged-Ann, look after Gwen.

-The train leaves Aberaeron at nine.

-Here you are.

-Just some bread, cheese

-and buttermilk.

-Nothing as tasty

-as you'll be getting in London!

-Right, time to go.

-At last!

-Morgan!

-We have no choice, Mam.

-That doesn't make it less painful.

-Don't forget to write,

-and give everyone our regards.

-Especially Jane.

-Tell her young Ifan's fine.

-Here's some good luck money

-for Gwen in London...

-..and your birth certificates.

-You'll need them in London.

-For Gwen, from Mam.

-Don't cry, Marged. London's not

-the other side of the world.

-Martha, you'll be glad

-to be rid of us.

-Yes, I'd say!

-I'm coming with you to Aberaeron.

-Look after them, Morgan.

-You're the big brother, now.

-Dat!

-We have to go.

-Fine... if you say so.

-Yes, I do say so.

-We'd better make a move,

-or we'll never catch that train.

-A perfect location, isn't it?

-Yes. I'd rather see the youngsters

-visit our cafe than some pub.

-But the price is too high.

-'Croeso Cafe'...

-'Home from Home Restaurant'...

-Or how about 'Welsh Welcome'?

-Let's look for other premises.

-I want this place.

-I want this place.

-

-It's too expensive, Robert!

-I'll get the swine

-to drop the price.

-Got you! And I'm going

-to give you both a good hiding!

-< I haven't seen Robert since

-he came back from the funeral.

-Isaac says he looks well.

-Yes, indeed.

-Robert's surprisingly well.

-How is Jane?

-Rather weak.

-I told her to lie in this morning.

-I'm going out to tea

-this afternoon.

-Where to?

-Where to?

-

-With the Reverend William Jones.

-And Hannah.

-Very nice.

-I'm looking forward to it.

-What should I take? Some honey...

-Hannah's sweet enough already.

-Daniel!

-Hannah is a respectable

-minister's daughter.

-Speaking of respectable

-ministers...

-How are you this morning, Luther?

-Quite well, Mrs Jenkins.

-The Almighty has been kind enough

-to let me wake another morning.

-Oh yes? And where did He let you

-sleep? On a bench? Under a bridge?

-Daniel!

-He was kind enough to spread

-this blanket over me last night.

-While I was asleep.

-The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

-'Bye, now.

-'Bye, now.

-

-Enjoy tea at the Manse,

-Auntie Grace.

-She should keep an eye out

-for William Jones, eh Luther?

-He's quite a lady's man, I hear.

-'Morning, George. We're looking

-for Mr Mervyn Pritchard.

-Dr Roberts for Mr Pritchard.

-Well, well. Young Jane Jenkins!

-Where have you been hiding

-all this time?

-She hasn't been well.

-But she's much better now.

-What was the problem?

-Just a minor ailment.

-A very small one, right Jane?

-Dan, take those sacks out the back.

-Is your family well - The Jenkinses?

-Is your family well - The Jenkinses?

-

-I believe so.

-I hear more of you are joining us.

-Where did you hear it?

-Where did you hear it?

-

-A little bird, Mrs Jenkins.

-Poor souls, I say.

-Where's the boss today, then?

-Seeing to some business.

-I see. Out making

-his second fortune, no doubt.

-Your help with this Covent Garden

-business would be invaluable.

-But what can I do?

-Just have a word with the rogues.

-I hope it's not too much to ask

-of an old friend?

-Helping two fellow deacons in Seion

-and two fellow Welshmen...

-I can promise nothing.

-I can promise nothing.

-

-But you'll try your best.

-We must get that Covent Garden

-place for a reasonable price.

-Arrange the deal,

-and you'll be rewarded, Pritchard.

-I take it all is fine about

-rented accommodation for my nephew?

-The family is arriving

-from Cardiganshire this afternoon.

-I promised them a home,

-and you gave me your word.

-Everything's fine.

-There's no problem.

-6B, Warwick Street.

-That wasn't the place you promised.

-That wasn't the place you promised.

-

-No, there was a problem.

-What's this Warwick Street like?

-What's this Warwick Street like?

-

-Fine.

-Let's hope so.

-Let's hope so.

-

-The place is fine!

-By the way, I'll need

-a month's rent up front.

-Howard, mate! How's business?

-Blooming, old chap.

-I think that'll cover

-two months' rent.

-I must go.

-Remember to keep in touch.

-Of course!

-Unscrupulous toad!

-Shalom, Reverend!

-How's tricks on your Sabbath day,

-you old Jew?

-What does that mean, Reverend?

-"May the glory of God be with you

-on this your Sabbath, my friend."

-And the second verse is,

-"How about a bite to eat?"

-And that means?

-And that means?

-

-"The Lord provideth for his people

-in strange ways."

-The Lord moves

-in mysterious ways, Daniel.

-Jane, you shouldn't be slaving away

-like this.

-You had a baby only last week!

-What baby, Auntie Annie?

-You're mistaken.

-Mam had the baby, not me.

-Here you are. And I've put

-plenty of sugar in it.

-Are you feeling a little better?

-You must be looking forward

-to seeing John and Lizzie.

-Yes. A year is a long time.

-Gwen was just a baby.

-It will be nice

-to have their company.

-The whole family

-will soon be here.

-What do you mean?

-What do you mean?

-

-Uncle Robert and Uncle Isaac have

-offered Marged and Martha work.

-What sort of work? >

-What sort of work? >

-

-At the new cafe.

-Well, well!

-Young Ifan's come to see us.

-Fast asleep!

-About time, too.

-He hardly slept all night.

-We'll get through, somehow.

-I'm still worried

-about local gossip.

-You're imagining things.

-Bet the Post will open her mouth

-one day, and that will be it!

-We may as well announce it

-in the Welsh Gazette!

-We've been over this so many times.

-The deceit is no longer a pillow

-around my waist. It's a baby!

-We're doing it for Jane's sake.

-I'll remember that the first time

-I'll take him to the village...

-..when everyone will comment

-how like his father he is.

-I see what you mean.

-Come on, we'll face it together.

-Why didn't you tell me

-about the cafe?

-It's an idea, that's all.

-So you've been out for hours

-just discussing an idea?

-It's Robert's idea,

-and he has money to throw away.

-It's

-our

-idea - Robert's and mine.

-I didn't want you to worry.

-I am worried!

-We don't have money to throw away.

-It would be an investment.

-We've put every penny

-into this Dairy.

-Or maybe you have money put by.

-Stop your preaching, and leave

-this business to Robert and me.

-It's my business, too!

-We have a partnership, Isaac.

-A twenty-five year partnership.

-We've faced everything together,

-and we're not stopping now!

-Will you have another cake,

-Miss Morgan?

-No, thank you. That was delicious.

-Hannah, see who's there, will you?

-And tell them I'm busy,

-there's a good girl.

-Are you warm enough, Miss Morgan?

-Yes, thank you.

-But please, call me Grace.

-Grace...

-Oh, Miss Grace... Morgan.

-I'm sorry to interrupt.

-Not at all.

-We've just finished tea.

-There's plenty left!

-Take a seat. And help yourself.

-Oh, no...

-Come along!

-I'll make you some fresh tea.

-Thank you very much.

-Still up to your old tricks, then.

-It's everyone for himself

-in this old world.

-And that means deceiving others,

-does it?

-We're all guilty of that.

-And we all have our little secrets,

-don't we?

-Are you ready?

-< Give them my regards.

-Hey! Here's the address.

-Turn off the Edgeware Road.

-< Come on, Dan!

-Help them look for it!

-# I ask you now for mercy,

-Mercy for my soul.

-# Come now, give me mercy,

-Else I die...

-# ..without mercy.#

-Thank you for the tea.

-You don't have to rush off, Luther.

-Would you like some cake?

-Platform Two, arrival from Swansea.

-Swansea train, Platform Two.

-Welcome to London!

-Welcome to hell.

-Almost there.

-Here we are.

-Are you sure this is it?

-Are you sure this is it?

-

-It said 6B on the door.

-You can't stay here!

-Where can we go?

-Where can we go?

-

-We'll find somewhere!

-No thanks to Robert and Isaac!

-This will do fine. Honestly.

-We'll clean it up

-and light a fire.

-Come on, John.

-We'll soon get things into shape.

-Right, boys. We'll need a pail

-of water, and some firewood.

-Come on, John.

-It'll be like a palace, you'll see.

-It's worse than the pigsty

-at Ffynnon Oer!

-Supper's ready.

-Come to the table.

-Come on, my girl, I've had enough!

-Sit there, and no more nonsense!

-You humiliated me this afternoon

-with your bad manners.

-And you humiliated me

-with that silly woman.

-Don't discredit Miss Morgan!

-I'll say what I like.

-I'll say what I like.

-

-Not while you live in this house.

-In this prison, you mean!

-In this prison, you mean!

-

-Prison?

-Yes. That's what it is.

-I'm never allowed out.

-Where are my friends tonight?

-Out having fun, while I'm

-a good girl at home with Daddy!

-More water!

-More firewood.

-And we need more light -

-candles and a couple of lamps.

-And look for saucepans -

-some crockery, too.

-Where can you get those

-at this time of night?

-You're in London now,

-not Brynarfor. Come on!

-And some bedlinen...

-and a chair or two.

-I'm sorry about this afternoon.

-Are you sorry about the months of

-defiance and treating me like dirt?

-Living with you isn't easy, father!

-Being both a father and a mother

-to you isn't easy, either!

-It's not easy not having a mother.

-It's not easy not having a mother.

-

-I try my best to be fair with you.

-But it's difficult

-when you act like a Jezebel.

-But it's difficult

-when you act like a Jezebel.

-

-A Jezebel now, am I?

-Yes, taking advantage

-at the first possible opportunity.

-Why can't you just forget

-what happened with that boy?

-I won't forgive or forget

-that easily.

-We kissed, father. Nothing more.

-You kissed a common stranger -

-and in the church gardens!

-God knows what might have happened

-had I not arrived home.

-I could have behaved

-like a real Jezebel!

-Your mother would break her heart!

-Your mother would break her heart!

-

-Don't talk about Mam!

-She was a saint!

-She had to be to live with you.

-But she knew of your tricks...

-..and of that woman you rehearsed

-the cantata with twice a week.

-Yes, why don't you hit me!

-Just like you'd hit Mam.

-Thank you, sir!

-That little girl's no older

-than Gwen. And out here alone.

-No, look!

-See you tonight, Dan?

-See you tonight, Dan?

-

-Maybe my little flower, maybe.

-See the fun you can have

-in London, John?

-There's a good girl.

-Eating all your food.

-Now then, my friends,

-this mattress here...

-It comes all the way from Russia -

-from a royal palace.

-The Bolshies looted it after

-they shot the Czar and his family!

-Feel the feathers in it, John -

-very soft eiderdown.

-And what about these carpets?

-Best quality.

-I'm taking this to the cart. Don't

-let the old fox cheat you.

-What's that you say now?

-I said you're a good man, Isaac.

-'Cadno' is Welsh for 'good man'.

-'Cadno'. I shall remember that.

-Now, John,

-I want to give you a gift.

-For you and your little family.

-For you and your little family.

-

-I can't.

-I want you to - to help

-light your way in this dark city.

-And I tell you, my friend, you will

-need all the light you can get.

-Thank you.

-Hannah?

-Hannah? Are you there?

-Well? What do you think?

-It's a marked improvement,

-but not quite a palace, Lizzie.

-Soon, Auntie Annie,

-when I've made my fortune...

-..I'll buy her a palace.

-That's what Isaac told me twenty

-years ago. And I'm still waiting.

-Things should be easier for you.

-None of that dreadful poverty

-we saw.

-And no war to spoil it all.

-Right, I'm off, before everyone

-breaks down in tears.

-He's in a hurry to go out

-gallivanting. Where to tonight?

-Just to the cafe for a while.

-No harm in that, is there?

-Do as you like.

-But why don't you take Jane along?

-She needs a change.

-Or John and Lizzie.

-I'll look after Gwen.

-No, I'm too tired. You go, John.

-No, I promised Uncle Isaac I'd work

-early tomorrow.

-Dan has promised that, too.

-He promises every day, right Dan?

-Are you coming, Jane?

-What's wrong with you all?

-We're all tired from working.

-But you wouldn't know about that.

-Oh, yes. I've seen what it does

-to you and Dad.

-You're too tired to enjoy life.

-I'll see you

-in the morning - early.

-Mr Briggs! Good evening. I wonder,

-have you seen my daughter?

-No. Anything wrong?

-No. Anything wrong?

-

-No, no. Everything's just fine.

-Hannah!

-Hannah?

-Does Daddy know you're out?

-Of course!

-Come in for some coffee, instead

-of hovering about here in the cold.

-Right, I'd better take you home.

-Right, I'd better take you home.

-

-What?

-It's gone ten, and your father

-doesn't know you're here, does he?

-Does he?

-Right, come on.

-I'm not going home, yet.

-I'm enjoying this.

-Dan, let go of me!

-Let me go!

-I'll never forgive you for this.

-Steady on!

-Father could be watching.

-I don't care.

-Well, I do. Our dear minister

-mustn't think I'm a naughty boy.

-But if he weren't about...

-But if he weren't about...

-

-He's always about.

-Not tomorrow morning -

-Sunday morning.

-No...

-Good. Leave everything to me.

-Hannah! Thank goodness.

-Where have you been?

-She came over to see Jane,

-to discuss embroidery or something.

-But she didn't say...

-She mentioned you two had argued.

-But she's back safely now.

-Goodnight, Mr Jones.

-Goodnight, Mr Jones.

-

-Daniel... thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

-Glad I could help.

-So, here we are, in London.

-Yes, here we are.

-888

-Good morning.

-It's a cold morning, John.

-How did you sleep in that hovel?

-Annie, don't start...

-Annie, don't start...

-

-We slept alright.

-Shall I get the pony ready?

-Yes, the churn's over there.

-When Dan gets up...

-He will, this minute!

-Dan! Dan! Get up, you layabout.

-You want some affection too,

-don't you?

-And to be freed.

-Not much hope of that.

-Not for any of us.

-At last!

-At last!

-

-Give it a rest.

-Show him the rounds, and he can

-go himself in a day or two.

-I don't need that.

-I don't need that.

-

-Put it on. This minute.

-Mind you come back in time

-for chapel.

-'Morning, Sally.

-< Next!

-< Stop pushing!

-< Sorry, Maggie. No money, no milk.

-Oh, Dan, please!

-Oh, Dan, please!

-

-Shout as much as you like. I'm not

-giving you any milk! Next...

-Lizzie... I'll take your money now,

-or there'll be a riot.

-I'll give it back to John later.

-I'll give it back to John later.

-

-We prefer to pay our debts.

-You're family. Next!

-It's a hard old place, London.

-It's a hard old place, London.

-

-It's everyone for himself, John.

-Hello?

-Hello, Vera darling.

-Bobby! What a lovely surprise!

-You've been on my mind all week.

-Tell me, what are you wearing?

-Can't you guess?

-Is it the one with the bows on?

-Of course!

-Of course!

-

-Keep it on for me.

-See you soon.

-How soon?

-How soon?

-

-Straight after chapel.

-Shalom, my friends.

-And a blessing on your Sabbath.

-Where have you been? Go and change!

-I'm not coming to chapel today.

-I don't feel like it.

-The more respectable members of

-the family can say a prayer for me.

-Are you alright?

-No. I've just been sick again.

-You'd better stay in bed.

-I'll come home as soon as I can.

-Do you need anything before I go?

-Do you need anything before I go?

-

-No, only peace and quiet.

-I'll be back around midday.

-How are you on this cold morning?

-You're looking very well, Esther...

-..considering the little one

-is only a week old.

-Where is he this morning?

-Where is he this morning?

-

-At home, with Marged-Ann.

-Isn't he lucky to have a big sister

-look after him?

-Pritchard... may I have a word?

-Good morning.

-Pritchard!

-Leave the rascal to me.

-It's good to see

-the open door of mercy.

-We thank thee, God, for this moment,

-to show our gratitude...

-..for being able to witness again

-the season of spring.

-Spring has come to the household

-of Ffynnon Oer, too...

-..for they have been blessed

-with a new baby.

-Extend thy loving care now

-to that little one.

-Poor things, having to live

-in faraway London.

-And poor Gwen.

-Do you realise how lucky you are?

-When I was a child, I spoke like

-a child, I thought like a child...

-..I reasoned like a child;

-when I became a man...

-What Apostle Paul

-was actually saying was this...

-..was this...

-It is only when we have grown

-into responsible adults...

-..that we can understand

-and see clearly.

-Not in a mirror, but face to face.

-And remember this.

-Remember this!

-We only see a reflection

-of ourselves in the mirror.

-But we see Lord Jesus Christ

-face to face.

-No!

-No...

-Why not?

-I'm scared.

-I understand.

-Thank you.

-So, my friends,

-there is fear in every faith.

-For there is no faith

-without doubt.

-There is fear in hope, too...

-..for there is no hope

-without uncertainty.

-But as our dear

-Apostle John says...

-.."There is no fear in love...

-..but perfect love casts out fear."

-Amen.

-Amen.

-Amen.

-You're not scared any more,

-are you?

-I've loved you for a long time.

-But I was afraid to say anything.

-Why?

-For fear of frightening you off.

-Oh, Dan...

-Pritchard!

-About the house you've rented

-to my nephew...

-About the house you've rented

-to my nephew...

-

-Not now, Isaac.

-Pritchard!

-I want a word, now! You too, Isaac.

-< I'm really sorry

-to have to rush off.

-I hope Hannah is better soon.

-I hope Hannah is better soon.

-

-Yes, indeed.

-Right, you're joining us

-for Sunday lunch.

-Isaac, where are you going?

-Isaac, where are you going?

-

-Business.

-Right, let's get things straight.

-Warwick Street is quite unsuitable.

-You must find a better home

-for my nephew and his family.

-One good turn deserves another.

-And that place in Covent Garden.

-We want it for a reasonable price.

-I'm depending on you, Pritchard.

-Well?

-Well?

-

-Well what?

-If I gave those children a gift,

-they'd say, "Thank you".

-Thank you.

-Good man.

-Good man...

-..good and faithful.

-Do you understand what I'm saying?

-I want to show you

-how much I love you.

-I love you, too!

-And I love you.

-Mr Jones!

-Did you find her, then?

-Did you find her, then?

-

-Yes, Mr Briggs. Safe and sound.

-Thank God for that.

-Thank God for that.

-

-Thank you for your concern.

-Hannah?

-Hannah?

-

-Yes?

-Are you any better?
