0:04:21 > 0:04:26'My life was never the same again after my parents died.
0:04:26 > 0:04:32'They gave me so much and then left me feeling alone, living on this farm with my cousin Em
0:04:32 > 0:04:37'and her awful stepmother, Aunt Sannie. Or Tant Sannie, as the Afrikaners always say.'
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Damn the heat.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49'Em's father also died and now we only have each other.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52'Our only escape from that woman was the farm manager.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56'Uncle Otto and his son Waldo were our best friends.
0:04:56 > 0:05:03'She treated them very badly, but they were much better than her, and our only hope.'
0:05:04 > 0:05:09You, what are you doing here, boy? Go herd some sheep!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Otto, get that son of yours working!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Run along. Come, boy!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Always sitting around.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Lazy little devil.
0:05:24 > 0:05:30'I'd been begging Tant Sannie to send me to school so I could get away from her. She finally gave in.'
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Why d'you want to go?- If you're clever you can do whatever you want.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- I don't want to go. - You don't need to.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41When you're 17 you'll get all the sheep and be rich like Charlotte.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Everyone will want to marry you. But I have nothing, I must learn.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Lyndall, you're like a sister. I'll give you some of MY sheep.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I don't want YOUR sheep. I want things of my own.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02- But you have things.- Ugly things. - Don't say that, Lyndall, it's not true.- Yes, it is.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Look what I found.- ..A diamond!
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's yours, to keep.
0:06:08 > 0:06:15It's only a crystal, Em. ..But it's beautiful. I'll take it to school with me.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Come see something, Waldo.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- But the sheep.- The sheep can wait. Come on, Waldo.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Come.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48(If she catches us she'll be angry.)
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- She always is. - What d'you want to show me?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01When I'm grown up I'll wear diamonds.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07- Real diamonds in my hair, just like her.- But where will you find them, Lyndall?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- There aren't any diamonds on this farm.- There's nothing on this farm.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Lyndall? Em?- Except her.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Where ARE those girls?!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19She mustn't find you in here!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I knew it!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I knew you would be in my bedroom.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34My special plate! Broken!
0:07:36 > 0:07:42- You ungrateful children, English man's ugliness, you broke...! - It was me, Tant Sannie. Me.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Out, get out! You ungrateful children. After all the love I've given you! Lyndall!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51One more step, one more wrong step and no more school for you.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57I take good care of you like I promised Em's father on his deathbed.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00My most special, broken.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I could have beaten her!
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Man, help me!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Stupid girl!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Help me.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Give me that!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28..I should never have married Em's father.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36I'd have beaten her but last night I heard rustling and grunting behind the door. Know what?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40It was that bloody Englishman, Em's father, coming to haunt me.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42He ghosts by night, AND by day.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46And he wouldn't want to see his child beaten. Not him.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Weak, foolish man.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Lyndall, why don't YOUR beads fall off your needle?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I try.- Come and eat.
0:09:55 > 0:10:00- Where's that cousin of yours? - Reading. - Enough with those books now!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Lyndall!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14'It gave me so much pleasure, irritating Tant Sannie with my books.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17'She was really scared of them.'
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Sorry.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48LAUGHTER
0:12:03 > 0:12:06When will you finish your book?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Tonight.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10And then what will you read?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Nothing.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Unless Tant Sannie buys us more books... But she won't. She saves every penny for herself.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20GIRLS: She's a miserable old woman!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27You know, they never had books.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I think they're funny little people.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Imagine. They used to kneel here, painting.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39They must have looked very hard to find the juice to make the paint.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Now the Boers have gone and shot them. And all the buck have gone.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Only we are here. But we'll be gone soon.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50And only these rocks will stay looking at everything.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Look!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Who is he?
0:12:57 > 0:13:01DOG WHIMPERS
0:13:01 > 0:13:04BARKING
0:13:06 > 0:13:10DOG BARKS, THEY GIGGLE
0:13:15 > 0:13:17'Then everything changed for us.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23'A stranger arrived on the farm and convinced Uncle Otto to let him stay.'
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I'm not a child and I wasn't born yesterday.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30You can't take me in. One wink of my eye and I see everything.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35I'll have no tramps sleeping on my farm. By the devil, no.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37(His nose, it's so big!)
0:13:40 > 0:13:45He is no tramp, Tant Sannie. He's a highly respectable man.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Where's his horse? If he had money he'd have a horse.
0:13:49 > 0:13:55Men who walk are thieves, liars, murderers, rum's priests and seducers.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59I see the devil in his nose, and look at his hat!
0:13:59 > 0:14:02And to come walking into the house as though he arrived on horseback!
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Dutch do not like people who walk in this country.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10My dear friend, I would've bought another horse
0:14:10 > 0:14:14but crossing a river I lost my purse and £500.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I spent five days on the riverbank trying to find it, but couldn't.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21If I had I'd have bought another horse.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26No, he goes tonight. See how he looks at me, a poor unprotected woman?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29If he wrongs me, who'll do me right?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I think if you didn't look at her quite so much it might be advisable.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- She might imagine you liked her too well.- Certainly, I won't look at her.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47You might not be a Scotch man or anything of that kind, might you? It's the English she hates.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52ACCENT CHANGES: My dear fellow, I've not a drop of English blood in my veins.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- I'm Irish, every inch of me. Father Irish, mother Irish.- Good.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You might not be married, might you?
0:14:58 > 0:15:05If you had a wife and children now, Dutch do not like those who are not married, no.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- I have a dear wife and three sweet little children.- Oh, I know.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Two lovely girls and a noble boy, Siobhan, Megan and Ruaridh.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17My, um... All Englishmen are ugly.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Did you ever see such a red rag-nosed thing, with broken boots?
0:15:22 > 0:15:29Take him to your room, but I'm warning you, Otto, any sin he commits I'll lay at your door.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Bonaparte Blenkins, Ma'am.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34May the Lord bless and protect you.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38But for you I'd be sleeping the fields crowned by the dews of heaven.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42You see, Tant Sannie? He's a good man. Good man.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48'Uncle Otto always gave people the benefit of the doubt,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52'but how could he be so sure of this man, so far from his home?'
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- It's strange he should have such a great name.- Blenkins(?)
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Not Blenkins, Em, Bonaparte.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05# Bonaparte, Bonaparte
0:16:05 > 0:16:09# My wife gets sick in the middle of the week but Sundays not. #
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- It's a funny name.- There was a man called Bonaparte once.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I know. The prophet the lions ate.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19No, Em, he was the man I like best, the greatest man who ever lived.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- What did HE do?- He wasn't born great.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26He was common like us, but he was master of the world. An emperor.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28He must have been very happy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32He had what he wanted and that's better than being happy.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37He was powerful so everyone feared him. Finally they beat him.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- They sent him to an island far away and kept him there.- Then what?
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- He was all alone, with only guards watching him.- And then?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- He never got away. He died in that island.- The end is so sad.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's a terrible, hateful ending, and the worst is, it's true.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Only fairytales end nicely.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- You've read it.- The book only says what he did. Not what he thought.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- I know what he thought. Books don't tell you everything.- No. They never tell you what you want to know.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12The book says where we are standing right now used to be a lake.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Those hills were the shores of lake.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19When I was little I used to think that a giant was buried under it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23But now I know the waters must have made it. ..But how?
0:17:23 > 0:17:30- Waldo, God put the hills there.- But how?- By wanting.- How did wanting bring it here?- Because it did.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Come, Lyndall.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Shh...
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Uncle Otto, how long did that man say he had been walking?
0:18:15 > 0:18:21Since this morning. A gentleman not accustomed to walking. Horse died, poor fellow.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Do you believe him, Uncle Otto? - Believe him? Why, of course I do.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29He himself told me the story three times.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35But if he had walked for only one day his boots wouldn't look like that. And if his horse...
0:18:35 > 0:18:38He told me himself.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Look how he lies there, worn-out.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44That's a poor fellow. Poor fellow.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- I think...- (I think you think too much. You'll wake him.)
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I think he might be lying. Goodnight, Uncle Otto.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Goodnight, Waldo. - Goodnight, Lyndall.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Goodnight, Lyndall.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Waldo, it's not so difficult. ..Oh, yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Take this.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Like this.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Oh, it's good. >
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Oh, no, no, no, no Waldo. It's enough for today.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47You should practise a little bit more. Mmh?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- You were a student of history, I see.- Yes, perhaps a little.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57So you will doubtless have heard of my great, my celebrated kinsman, Napoleon Bonaparte.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Yes, of course.
0:19:59 > 0:20:06I, sir, was born on this hour on an April afternoon 3 and 50, 40 years ago.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09"There's only one name for this child", said the nurse.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15He has the nose of his noble kinsman and so Bonaparte Blenkins became my name.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Bonaparte Blenkins, yes, sir!
0:20:19 > 0:20:24There's a stream on my maternal side that connects with a stream on his maternal side.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29The connection is one which cannot be comprehended
0:20:29 > 0:20:32by one unaccustomed to the study of aristocratic pedigrees,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- but the connection is close. - I didn't know Napoleon was Irish.
0:20:36 > 0:20:42On the mother's side. And, eh, how long have you been on this farm?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh, 50 years.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47There's the work you see and...
0:20:52 > 0:20:53And then...
0:20:53 > 0:20:57A woman - say no more, my friend.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I understand.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00I understand that snare.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03That honey pot of delicious...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05There was a child.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Tant Sannie has been good to us.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And Waldo's mother was sent...
0:21:13 > 0:21:16No, run away. She let her stay.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21She's a good woman. She has given me sheep every year since I arrived.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Generous woman. And a wealthy one.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29The admiration of a good woman is above diamonds.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34I think I shall wander out into the benign air and taste the gentle cool of morning.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Exercise is always beneficial.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Uncle Otto, how do we know he's related to Bonaparte?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49That's what I hate. "How that's true?" How do you know that anything is true?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Because we are told so.
0:21:51 > 0:21:58If you begin to question everything, wanting proof, proof, proof, what will we have left to believe?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03How do you know that God talked to Moses? Accept that Moses wrote it.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05< Help! Help!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Somebody help me, please!
0:22:08 > 0:22:09Save me!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Save me!
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Argh!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It turned to me, it looked me in the face.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25My life hung upon a cord. I walked in the valley of the shadow of death.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28I never knew so young a bird to chase before.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34- Unless he doesn't like you. - I'm sorry. You are frightened. The birds are bad things, too.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- You know that.- I forgive you, my friend. Whatever the consequences, I forgive you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Give me your hand.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- I bear you no ill feeling. - You are very kind. Thank you.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45My nerves. Always delicate.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Highly strung. Broken, broken.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You could not spare a little wine?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- A little brandy, perhaps? - Oh, yes. Yes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55For my friend to be attacked so...
0:22:55 > 0:22:58The bird has never done this before.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03- Thank you.- And... How do you feel now?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06A little more, thanks.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Bless you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13My old friend has seen his final days.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18You have protected me from the burning rays of summer, the cutting winds of winter.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Henceforth, bare headed must your master go.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Goodbye, old hat. Goodbye.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Uncle Otto, you don't have to... - Just go.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38It's not what you have been accustomed to, but it might be of some use.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42My friend, you are allowing yourself to feel guilty on my account.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I shall go bare headed.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45No, I have no use for that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47None at all. Please take it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Then I'll take it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55The hat may not be as good as the old one was, but it will serve.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Yes, it will serve.- Oh, it's good.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I, eh... I should be on my way...
0:24:06 > 0:24:08when the sun gets lower.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11But you do not have to leave.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Tant Sannie has given her consent and...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh, my friend, I must seek work.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Idleness for only a day is unacceptable and painful.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Painful.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Work, labour. That is the secret of all true happiness.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33Yes, but tomorrow is the Sabbath. And you cannot go and look for work on the Sabbath.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Oh, yes. The blessed Sabbath.
0:24:36 > 0:24:43You must find it hard, without the administration of the Lord's word in this desolate spot.
0:24:43 > 0:24:50Well, yes. We do our best. We meet together and I say a few words and perhaps I am not wholly lost,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- not quite.- How extraordinary. At home I do the same.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Oh, those were blessed times.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Were that they might return.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Then it's settled. You will stay for the service tomorrow.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I will speak to Tant Sannie, yes I will. And then...
0:25:06 > 0:25:10You might take the service in my place, if you want to.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15My friend, it would give me great pleasure,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20but these worn-out clothes, I could not possibly enter the Lord's house.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25'At times like these, Uncle Otto's good nature could not be borne.'
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Not the latest fashion,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32- but I think it's perfect.- If you insist, but only if you insist.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Please, take it.- Thank you, sir.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Tell me, my friend,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42who's the girl, exactly?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44That's Lyndall.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Em's cousin.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Both her parents dead... It's a poor thing.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, the Lord bless and protect her.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55That man.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- The Irishman?- I like him.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00He tells interesting stories.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- He tells lies, that's what he tells. - He'll be gone soon, Lyndall.
0:26:05 > 0:26:12I hate this place. I hate the dust and dirt and the stones people think are diamonds.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It's where we live, Lyndall.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I hate it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I can't wait to leave.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29The last time I was in Germany.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33It was many years ago. Let me see.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I think it looks good.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Clean as a whistle.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Marvellous.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05'There was one thing Tant Sannie had profound reverence for.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07'And that was Sunday service.'
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Good morning.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Good morning, Tant Sannie.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Bonaparte takes the service today. - 'Appearances can change a man, but not his heart.'
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Oh Lord, bless this house and all who are in it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39'But what would Tant Sannie know about heart?'
0:27:39 > 0:27:42He looks just like the...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I wish I hadn't called him a thief and a Roman Catholic.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49So, let us pray.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Happy are those
0:28:00 > 0:28:03who reject evil.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Happy are those who give freely to others.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Who do not think only of themselves.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Happy are those who believe in the Lord... - MURMURING
0:28:21 > 0:28:23..and follow his guidance.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- And love. - MURMURING
0:28:29 > 0:28:32This is a man of God.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Amen.- Amen.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Do you think he remembers that I shook my fist in his face?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55All liars shall have their part in the lake which
0:28:55 > 0:29:01burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
0:29:07 > 0:29:12We shall not, my dear friends, detain you long. Few, very few words, are all I have.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Oh, my beloved friends,
0:29:17 > 0:29:21who would leave this earth?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Here are joys innumerable.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30Your clothes, beds, delicious food, my friends.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Our precious bodies were given us to cherish and to love.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Oh, let us do so.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Oh, let us care for and love them.
0:29:51 > 0:29:52May the Lord add his blessings.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09So, let us sing.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21# The King of love my Shepherd is
0:30:21 > 0:30:26# Whose goodness faileth never
0:30:26 > 0:30:31# I nothing lack if I am His
0:30:31 > 0:30:37# And He is mine forever
0:30:39 > 0:30:44# Where streams of living water flow
0:30:44 > 0:30:49# My ransomed soul He leadeth... #
0:31:05 > 0:31:07He is like the elders, you know?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10The ones that sit in the top pew in the church on Sundays.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14The nicely oiled hair, so holy and respectable.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17The little swallowtail coats.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21There's no doubt that he is a respectable man.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26A gentleman.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Go.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Morning.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Yes.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Good day.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Good day, madam.- Coffee?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Delighted.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Sugar?- One, please.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Thank you.- Take a seat.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- Oh, it's hot.- It is indeed.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42Oh, you will, I trust you, madam, excuse this exhibition of feelings,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44but this picture
0:32:44 > 0:32:46reminds me of my...
0:32:46 > 0:32:51best beloved, my dear wife, saint of heaven.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53This beautiful woman is...
0:32:56 > 0:33:03Ah, yes. The eyes, the mouth, the nose, the chin.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Fair expression. Extraordinary.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Put more sugar in.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Thank you.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20The pudding is ready and the meat is on the table.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Thank you. You will excuse me, Tant Sannie.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36But he is married. All the good ones are taken.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41You can see that he's a God-fearing man and he knows how to behave himself.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44If he's ugly, would the Lord make him?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46And are we to judge the Lord's handy work?
0:33:46 > 0:33:51It is better to be ugly and good, than pretty and bad.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Though, of course, it is nice if one is both.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I think it doesn't matter.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- You said that you were looking for a situation?- Mm-hmm.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Just supposing, really supposing, if someone should make an offer
0:34:15 > 0:34:22to you to become schoolmaster on the farm and teach one or two children.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26That would give you, let's say, £40 a year.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Would you accept it?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31That would depend on circumstances.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Money is no consideration with me.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Should I find a place where a gentleman would be treated as a gentleman I would accept it.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41However small the remuneration.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44There would also be a room to sleep in. Quite comfortable.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47And food, of course.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49That would be something to consider.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52I think I shall go up and see Tant Sannie.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57I go up often on Sunday afternoon and have a general conversation.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00To see her. I mean, nothing in particular.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Yeah. I shall go up.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I go up to Tant Sannie.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19You promised. You promised Em's father before he died that you'd send us to school.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Now, you don't need to go. You've got Mr Blenkins to teach you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26I never meant for Lyndall not to go to school. I thought he could teach Em and...
0:35:26 > 0:35:28He's not a teacher, he's a liar.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Show some charity. The Good Book says...- Not to suffer fools.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- He is a learned man.- He is not!
0:35:34 > 0:35:36He's a liar and a thief!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38That's enough! Go to your room!
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- That girl could do with some discipline. - She needs to learn.- Respect.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52No, just things and Waldo too, he needs to learn.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56He's clever, Tant Sannie. And I was hoping that
0:35:56 > 0:35:57he could join the girls.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Your pup? To learn? Yes.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- At my expense?- Yes, with my help.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- You take me for a fool?- I take you for a kind woman, a good one.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07And you will do the right thing.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I mean, the boy is clever.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Isn't it enough that I have your shame on my farm?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I know my shame, Tant Sannie.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16And it is not the boy's fault.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19And now you want to teach him like a white man?
0:36:19 > 0:36:23He's a good boy and he needs a chance.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29SOBBING
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Why did he have to come to this farm?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Why?- Don't worry, Lyndall.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Maybe you can go to school next year.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44I hate him. It's taken me so long to make Tant Sannie send me to school,
0:36:44 > 0:36:47now he comes along and spoils everything.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50It won't be so bad. We can go to school together.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52It'll be fun, I promise.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55When I'm grown up I'll know everything.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I'll be rich, very rich.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01I'll have all the power and no-one will be able to hurt me.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05"Through desire,
0:37:05 > 0:37:09"man, having separated himself,
0:37:09 > 0:37:14"seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20"A fool's lips enter into contention and his mouth calleth for strokes.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25"A fool's mouth is his destruction...
0:37:26 > 0:37:30"..and his lips are the snare of his soul."
0:37:34 > 0:37:38What's out there that you find so interesting, Lyndall?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I was wondering if you knew the signs of the Zodiac.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- That's not a fit subject for a girl to talk about. - D'you know who Copernicus was?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- History is this afternoon, Lyndall. - But you do know who Copernicus was?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Yes, I do.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59He was a Roman emperor who burned Christians alive and a golden pig,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02who, himself, was eaten by worms while alive.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Where do you think you're going? - Lyndall, please don't go.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16We'll see what Tant Sannie has to say about this, won't we, Em?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39That girl's more trouble than she's worth.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44To walk out like that on such a respectable gentleman.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57You have beautiful feet, Tant Sannie.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Such delicate feet. I like feet like that.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03They're just feet.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Such delicate ones.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I'll talk to the girl.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Big women have always been so good to me.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Is your wife also big?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39You must always put pure cream in his coffee, you hear me?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52SOBBING
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Em, what's the matter?
0:39:58 > 0:40:04Lyndall made him angry and he's given me Chapter John to learn.
0:40:04 > 0:40:11- He said he'll teach me to behave myself when Lyndall troubles him. - What did she do?
0:40:11 > 0:40:18Whenever he talks, she just looks at the door like she doesn't hear him.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Today, she just walked out.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23She said she would never come back
0:40:23 > 0:40:27to the school again, and she always does what she says.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31And now I'll sit here every day alone.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Maybe Tant Sannie will send him away.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41No. He'll never go away.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- You should stop crying. I'll tell you something, a secret.- What?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Promise you won't tell anyone?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I promise.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- I've made a machine.- A machine?!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Yes, a machine for shearing sheep.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Where is it?
0:41:04 > 0:41:09Here. This is a model. When it's done, they'll have to make a larger one then maybe
0:41:09 > 0:41:15- I'll make enough money to send Lyndall to school.- Show it to me.- No. Not till it's done.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It's a beautiful secret.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Hurry up, our girl. Come on!
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Get that chimney clean!
0:42:02 > 0:42:04SQUAWKING
0:42:31 > 0:42:34It's been long since Bonaparte visited us.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46You should be finished fixing the corral tomorrow.
0:42:46 > 0:42:52Maybe you could come and help me when you're finished with the sheep.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Or maybe I could help you?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- What?- With that thing you keep the secret.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Oh, that's good.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23That's very good for the shearing, yes?
0:43:23 > 0:43:27- But it was meant to be a secret, a surprise for you.- Surprise?
0:43:27 > 0:43:28It's a good surprise, Waldo.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39No!
0:43:43 > 0:43:44Wait here.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52No!
0:43:52 > 0:43:58My wife! My wife!
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Go to him, Otto. Help the poor man.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07What is it, my friend? Tell me, please tell me.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10My dear wife!
0:44:10 > 0:44:12My saint, my angel is dead!
0:44:12 > 0:44:14She's dead!
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Go on, Otto, comfort him.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Poor man. Maybe I can help.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- Please let me see.- No, no.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- It's hard to lose your woman, I know.- I know just the thing - pop.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Pop and brandy. Bring it to me now.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36Get it from my room,
0:44:36 > 0:44:37my room.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- SOBBING - Shh, shh.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56Don't cry. I know how it was.
0:44:56 > 0:45:00When my first husband died they could do nothing with me
0:45:00 > 0:45:04till I'd eaten pig's trotter and honey and little roasted cake.
0:45:04 > 0:45:09- I know. - SOBBING
0:45:10 > 0:45:13You're very kind to comfort me.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16She was my wife.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18The woman, my wife, I could live.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22But the woman is my wife, I could die.
0:45:22 > 0:45:27- My sweet wife, will I ever see her again? - Pop and brandy, that's the answer.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30No, no, I can't.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31I shall die, I shall die.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35Nothing should pass my lips, I should be suffocated.
0:45:41 > 0:45:46- Bless you, dear lady. - 'Bonaparte's wife conveniently died.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48'She probably never existed in the first place.'
0:45:48 > 0:45:53- Thank you.- 'He must've mailed the letter to himself.'
0:45:54 > 0:45:58Now he'll stay for ever.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01He's cruel. I hate him!
0:46:01 > 0:46:04He is maybe hard,
0:46:04 > 0:46:07but Mr Blenkins has a good heart.
0:46:07 > 0:46:11God, God is cruel. He took his wife, he took my mother off the farm.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14Why your mother left had nothing to do with God.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16It was men, men and women.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18God is not cruel.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20We are the ones who fail him.
0:46:20 > 0:46:25We are the ones who have to work every day to change ourselves,
0:46:25 > 0:46:28however hard it is to love, to be kind,
0:46:28 > 0:46:31to be charitable.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34- But why?- Why?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Because we're all human.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Human, we're all human.
0:47:00 > 0:47:05'Maybe if Waldo had never gone to the mill that day, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did.'
0:47:05 > 0:47:11< You think I can't see? You think I can't count?
0:47:11 > 0:47:15- What else have you been stealing, huh?- Nothing, miss.- What else?
0:47:15 > 0:47:18- Nothing.- You're not going to fool me any more, you hear me?
0:47:18 > 0:47:24I've got eyes on all of you from now on. The cheek of it! All those sheep and you think I won't see?
0:47:24 > 0:47:29You devil spawn! You get out of here and get off my farm!
0:47:29 > 0:47:32Tant Sannie, you can't do this.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Her child is only like this.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Her husband will come back with the sheep, I'm sure of it.
0:47:37 > 0:47:42- He has stolen them, I know he has! - No, no, no, I will not believe he stole them. I know that man.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45I know him three years. He's a good man, he wouldn't steal.
0:47:45 > 0:47:52Tant Sannie, I mean, we are all God's children.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55What's she to you, huh? One of your mistakes?
0:47:55 > 0:47:58You were always too soft on them.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02I know my sins, but her husband will come back with the sheep.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04I stake my job on it!
0:48:09 > 0:48:13If your husband doesn't come back with those sheep,
0:48:13 > 0:48:15you are off this farm. Do you understand?
0:48:15 > 0:48:16- Yes.- Run!
0:48:24 > 0:48:28OTTO SINGS
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Why?
0:48:47 > 0:48:49- Why do you let them treat you like this?- Who?
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Them.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Tant Sannie and that man.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55I know what you think about Bonaparte.
0:48:59 > 0:49:06But when I was young man, I was an angry man, but then I learnt that anger does nothing but turn on you.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09- But Uncle Otto...- You, too, Lyndall.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11You have so much anger, so much anger.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15You love my books, yes?
0:49:15 > 0:49:23I watch you with them. You love my books, but you never look at the most important one.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29"Love isn't selfish or quick tempered.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32"It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36"Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39"There are three things - faith, hope and love.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44"But of these three - the greatest is love."
0:49:46 > 0:49:50- KNOCKING - I hope I'm not disturbing you, my friend.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54No, no. Come in, take a seat. We can have some coffee together.
0:49:54 > 0:49:55Come, Em.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Condolences on your wife.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08So, please.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11My friend, I come not for mere creature comforts,
0:50:11 > 0:50:15but for an hour of brotherly discourse with a kindred spirit.
0:50:15 > 0:50:19What joy it is to be once more in your society.
0:50:19 > 0:50:25It grieves me deeply, my dear friend, that you and Tant Sannie should have had some slight...
0:50:25 > 0:50:27unpleasantness this afternoon.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30It's all right now. A few sheep missing.
0:50:30 > 0:50:37I'll make it good myself. I give my 15 sheep and work on the other 8.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40You should not have to make good the lost sheep when it isn't your fault.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44I'd rather do that than see the poor man's wife turned out into the fields.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Now that's what I call cruelty.
0:50:46 > 0:50:51Diabolical cruelty. The person that could do such a thing.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56I mean, I, I could run them through with a knife!
0:51:00 > 0:51:04But Tant Sannie gives her word the maid shall remain for some days,
0:51:04 > 0:51:08- and she will keep her word. I know all will be well. - Tant Sannie is a hard woman.
0:51:11 > 0:51:16No, no, she has her heart on the right side, and if I may say so,
0:51:16 > 0:51:20I have an affection for her which I think she returns.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22There's not one person on this farm
0:51:22 > 0:51:26for whom I have not affection, Mr Blenkins.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30It's not the same for all of us.
0:51:34 > 0:51:39'Sometimes I wished Uncle Otto wasn't so good and kind.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43'He went to find the sheep just so the maid could stay on the farm.
0:51:43 > 0:51:48'Never saw any bad in anyone, even though there is good and bad in all of us.'
0:52:03 > 0:52:04Tell me why you're here.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Missus.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Did she give you food?
0:52:12 > 0:52:16Here's this. Take it.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Here. You must try and get to the next farm.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Come, I'll help you. Come.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30'By the time Uncle Otto got back, it was too late.'
0:52:43 > 0:52:48Lyndall, Em, you are crying. What's the matter?
0:52:48 > 0:52:49You child of a dog!
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Come here!
0:52:53 > 0:52:57You old vagabond of a prying German!
0:52:57 > 0:53:01- What is it? - I have the heart of the devil, do I?
0:53:01 > 0:53:04You could run me through with a knife, could you?
0:53:04 > 0:53:08- I couldn't drive the maid away because I was afraid of you, was I?- What?!
0:53:08 > 0:53:10I loved you, did I?
0:53:10 > 0:53:12I wanted to marry you, do I?
0:53:12 > 0:53:17- Do I, you devil's tongue, you rat's tail!- I don't understand.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21Ask him, ask him. He knows.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23You thought he wouldn't tell me, but he did.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25He did, you old fool! You old beggar!
0:53:25 > 0:53:31- He lies!- Do not approach me, do not address me, lost man!
0:53:31 > 0:53:36This woman has been your benefactress and how have you rewarded her?
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Beastly, beastly, beastly!
0:53:38 > 0:53:43- What have you been poisoning her mind with?- Get off my land, you dog!
0:53:43 > 0:53:46- You will not let me speak? - You've spoken enough.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50- I would've been a rich woman if it wasn't for your laziness.- Quite.
0:53:50 > 0:53:55You would have been poor, Tant Sannie. And you are even poorer now.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Poor in spirit and poor in charity.
0:53:58 > 0:54:02You dare talk to me about charity!
0:54:02 > 0:54:06After I kept you and that little half-caste of yours like I did!
0:54:06 > 0:54:10And you stand there all righteous!
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Well, it doesn't fool me any more. Oh, no!
0:54:12 > 0:54:16Yes, I've sinned, but it was done for love.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19This, this is different kind of sin.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23This is pride and anger and greed
0:54:23 > 0:54:25and lies! And he, he has lied!
0:54:27 > 0:54:30And you, you're a foolish woman.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34I will not live with fools and liars.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36I feel sorry for you, Tant Sannie.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Sorry.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48Do not fret so much. All will be well.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51If you are here by sunrise, my labourers will drag you
0:54:51 > 0:54:55in the sand till there's no bone left in your body!
0:54:55 > 0:54:58- She's an evil, wicked woman! - We all sinneth.
0:54:58 > 0:55:03I'll keep everything, even your horse, for all the sheep that you lost!
0:55:03 > 0:55:05Be off my land by sunrise!
0:55:05 > 0:55:08Come, Em.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11We won't stay to listen to such lies!
0:55:11 > 0:55:17- Uncle Otto!- So you will defy me too, you Englishman's ugliness!
0:55:17 > 0:55:18Don't you...!
0:55:19 > 0:55:21CRYING
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Leave her alone!
0:55:26 > 0:55:28You, off my farm!
0:55:28 > 0:55:30See what you've done!
0:55:32 > 0:55:35Good riddance.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38- You little devils! I'll teach you! - CRYING
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Let us out or I'll break the door down!
0:56:06 > 0:56:11"My chickens, you did not come to say goodbye to me.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15"I go to meet Waldo at the mill and he will follow me.
0:56:15 > 0:56:19"God knows there's land where all things are made right,
0:56:19 > 0:56:21"but that land is not here.
0:56:25 > 0:56:30"Hold your heads high, my chickens, and always be proud of your actions.
0:56:30 > 0:56:36"Nothing is mine, otherwise I would say, 'Lyndall, take my books. Em, my stores'
0:56:36 > 0:56:40"Now I say nothing.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43"I know the things are mine and it is not righteous,
0:56:43 > 0:56:47"but I'm silent. Let it be.
0:56:49 > 0:56:50"I have said too much today.
0:56:50 > 0:56:55"I've done too much, but I feel it.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59"Do not cry too much for the old man.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02"I go out to seek my fortune
0:57:02 > 0:57:05"and maybe I will come back with it in the bank.
0:57:05 > 0:57:09"There's one thing I must tell you.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13"It concerns Waldo's mama and my shame.
0:57:13 > 0:57:18"She was my shame. She was a good woman and I loved her.
0:57:18 > 0:57:23"My shame was I didn't protect her,
0:57:23 > 0:57:26"but stood by and allowed her to be driven from me.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32"I love my children. Do they think of me?
0:57:32 > 0:57:36"I am old Otto, going out to seek his fortune."
0:57:49 > 0:57:50Oh! Argh.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54HE GASPS
0:58:14 > 0:58:17HE GASPS
0:58:29 > 0:58:34Tomorrow, I'll smooth the cogs and tighten the screws a little.
0:58:34 > 0:58:37Then I'll show it to everyone.
0:58:37 > 0:58:40I could get about £50 for it.
0:58:40 > 0:58:41I'll send Lyndall to school.
0:58:41 > 0:58:45I'll get a black hat for Papa and a sewing kit for Em.
0:58:45 > 0:58:49I'll get a box full of books that will tell me everything.
0:58:49 > 0:58:53Why crystals grow into such beautiful shapes,
0:58:53 > 0:58:57why black people are black and why the sunlight warms up things.
0:58:57 > 0:59:01Then I'll read and read and read.
0:59:22 > 0:59:26Where are you running so fast with your rosy cheeks, my boy?
0:59:26 > 0:59:27The barn.
0:59:27 > 0:59:29You won't find anyone in right now.
0:59:29 > 0:59:32- Not your good old father anyway. - Where is he?
0:59:32 > 0:59:35Behind the camps.
0:59:35 > 0:59:39- What's he doing there? - We couldn't keep him any more.
0:59:39 > 0:59:40It was too hot.
0:59:42 > 0:59:45Papa! Papa!
0:59:54 > 0:59:56'We never saw Uncle Otto again.
1:00:05 > 1:00:07'Our hearts were broken.
1:00:07 > 1:00:10'What would become of us?
1:00:10 > 1:00:12'I really didn't know.'
1:00:28 > 1:00:30I knew I'd find you here.
1:00:33 > 1:00:35You must try and forget, Waldo.
1:00:38 > 1:00:41But why did he have to die?
1:00:41 > 1:00:43People get old, Waldo,
1:00:43 > 1:00:46but we have to keep going.
1:00:48 > 1:00:52There are so many things we have to do.
1:00:52 > 1:00:55Not because we want to, but because we have to.
1:00:57 > 1:00:59Maybe it'll all make sense when you're older.
1:01:02 > 1:01:04We have to be strong.
1:01:11 > 1:01:17That Waldo took himself off this morning as cool as you please and didn't do a stroke of work all day.
1:01:17 > 1:01:19I'll have none of that now.
1:01:19 > 1:01:22I suppose he's sorry that his father's dead.
1:01:22 > 1:01:25It's natural, you know.
1:01:25 > 1:01:28I cried all morning when my father died.
1:01:28 > 1:01:32You can always get a new husband, but you can never get a new father.
1:01:32 > 1:01:36There'll be no slacking now I'm master of this farm. Hurry up!
1:02:05 > 1:02:08You can't spend all day at his grave.
1:02:08 > 1:02:12I'll go and check on the lambs.
1:02:12 > 1:02:15- What have you there, me lad, besides your bag?- Nothing.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18Oh, don't lie.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21- Come on, let me see. - DOG BARKS
1:02:21 > 1:02:27Isn't that an ingenious little machine. Where did you get it?
1:02:27 > 1:02:29It's mine. Give it back, please?
1:02:29 > 1:02:33How does it work now? I've never seen anything so ingenious.
1:02:33 > 1:02:35It's for shearing sheep.
1:02:35 > 1:02:39Oh. Aren't you the clever lad?
1:02:39 > 1:02:42We must get you a patent, my boy.
1:02:42 > 1:02:43Your fortune is made.
1:02:43 > 1:02:48Three years and there'll not be a farm in this colony where it isn't being used.
1:02:48 > 1:02:51You're a genius. A great genius, that's what you are.
1:02:51 > 1:02:54- How long have you worked on it? - Nine months.
1:02:54 > 1:02:56Oh!
1:02:56 > 1:02:59I have never seen anything like it.
1:02:59 > 1:03:05There's just one little improvement, one very little improvement I should like to make.
1:03:13 > 1:03:14Looks better now, doesn't it?
1:03:18 > 1:03:22You're a genius, my boy, that's what you are(!)
1:03:22 > 1:03:25A born genius.
1:03:31 > 1:03:34On this farm, you work for your keep. Do you hear?
1:03:39 > 1:03:40DOG BARKS
1:03:41 > 1:03:43No.
1:03:50 > 1:03:52DOG WHINES
1:04:01 > 1:04:03- Allow me.- Thank you.
1:04:07 > 1:04:08More?
1:04:15 > 1:04:16Enough?
1:04:32 > 1:04:36You know, Tant Sannie, one might become very lonely
1:04:36 > 1:04:42living on a farm as large as this one if one did not have companionship.
1:04:42 > 1:04:44One could get lonely.
1:04:44 > 1:04:46One does get lonely.
1:04:46 > 1:04:49- You've thought of marrying? - Of course.
1:04:49 > 1:04:54But I can't marry until Em turns 17 or I lose the farm.
1:04:54 > 1:04:56Oh.
1:04:56 > 1:05:00Jacob worked seven years and seven years again for his wife.
1:05:17 > 1:05:19Trana hasn't been for a while.
1:05:19 > 1:05:21It'll be nice to see her.
1:05:21 > 1:05:23She'd asked Tant Sannie to invite her.
1:05:25 > 1:05:28That's a good idea. She can help us with our sewing.
1:05:28 > 1:05:30Yes.
1:05:30 > 1:05:31She could.
1:06:08 > 1:06:11Ooh! Hello, Tant Sannie!
1:06:22 > 1:06:25Look, there's Em! Hurry up, hurry up!
1:06:25 > 1:06:27Get your bags into my room.
1:06:27 > 1:06:29- Hurry up and be careful.- Trana!
1:06:29 > 1:06:32- Em!- How are you?
1:06:32 > 1:06:33Hello!
1:06:35 > 1:06:38- I love your dress.- Who's that girl?
1:06:40 > 1:06:43The missus' niece.
1:06:43 > 1:06:46Her pa's got money and he's built like you've never seen.
1:06:46 > 1:06:47And a farm!
1:06:47 > 1:06:50With goats, sheep and horses.
1:06:50 > 1:06:52They milk ten cows in winter.
1:06:56 > 1:07:00- She'll be a nice mouthful for the man that gets her.- Indeed.
1:07:00 > 1:07:04The young men are after her like flies around a bowl of milk.
1:07:04 > 1:07:07She wants to be married in four months, but she doesn't know who.
1:07:07 > 1:07:09It was like that with me.
1:07:09 > 1:07:13I sat up with young men four, five nights a week.
1:07:13 > 1:07:18And when the time comes, they'll come riding in again as soon as they know I'm ready.
1:07:18 > 1:07:19- Where are you going?- To my room.
1:07:19 > 1:07:21I'll be in for supper.
1:07:26 > 1:07:28Bonaparte Blenkins, ma'am.
1:07:28 > 1:07:29Pleased to meet you.
1:08:37 > 1:08:41Only four months to go before you're married, Trana.
1:08:41 > 1:08:44You'll have to choose one of those young men soon.
1:08:44 > 1:08:46Yah.
1:08:46 > 1:08:48Father's glad I came.
1:08:48 > 1:08:51I think he's getting tired of all the men coming riding into see me.
1:08:51 > 1:08:54They'll be coming for Em soon.
1:08:56 > 1:08:59And for Lyndall.
1:08:59 > 1:09:01More potatoes, Trana?
1:09:01 > 1:09:03I would, but they make you fat.
1:09:03 > 1:09:07Oh, I find fat women attractive.
1:09:07 > 1:09:11Pa does also. He has good taste.
1:09:29 > 1:09:34Tant, why does the Irishman always sigh so when he looks at me?
1:09:34 > 1:09:42It's because he thinks you look like me. I am telling you, Trana,
1:09:42 > 1:09:45that man is mad in love with me.
1:09:45 > 1:09:48But he's not going to get me as easily as he thinks.
1:09:48 > 1:09:51He's going to have to ask more than once.
1:09:56 > 1:10:03- Why does he always bump against a person when he passes? - Because you're always in the way.
1:10:06 > 1:10:09He's very ugly, you know?
1:10:09 > 1:10:10Oh, man, Trana.
1:10:10 > 1:10:15It's just because we're not used to such noses in this country.
1:10:15 > 1:10:18In his country, he says all the people have such noses.
1:10:18 > 1:10:22And the redder your nose, the higher you are.
1:10:22 > 1:10:24He's related to Queen Victoria, you know?
1:10:26 > 1:10:32And when his aunt with the dropsy dies, he'll have enough money to buy all the farms in the district.
1:10:35 > 1:10:37And he's only 35.
1:10:37 > 1:10:39Even though you'd think he was 45.
1:10:43 > 1:10:48And he says he could kill himself quite easily
1:10:48 > 1:10:52if he wanted to marry a woman and she won't.
1:11:09 > 1:11:11Em!
1:11:11 > 1:11:13Em!!
1:12:45 > 1:12:48Get Waldo.
1:13:09 > 1:13:12DOG BARKS
1:13:12 > 1:13:15Hurry, Waldo. Don't let anyone see!
1:13:16 > 1:13:18Hurry, Waldo.
1:13:30 > 1:13:33They must have belonged to Em's father.
1:13:42 > 1:13:46I don't think they're very nice. They aren't stories.
1:13:46 > 1:13:49But you can take any you want.
1:13:54 > 1:13:57"Mechanical engineering."
1:14:37 > 1:14:40What are you doing up there, huh?
1:14:40 > 1:14:45Tant Sannie doesn't keep wine up there, so what? Something to eat?
1:14:45 > 1:14:47What's that under your coat?
1:14:47 > 1:14:51- Nothing.- Nothing? Well, if it's nothing then let me see.
1:14:51 > 1:14:55- Let me see!- Waldo, Tant Sannie wants us all in the kitchen.
1:14:55 > 1:15:01I don't want you going up there. It's Tant Sannie's property. D'you hear me, boy?!
1:15:01 > 1:15:02Blighter!
1:15:34 > 1:15:37Oh, Waldo, my boy.
1:15:53 > 1:15:56What d'you keep up in the loft?
1:15:56 > 1:15:59Dried skins, empty bottles.
1:15:59 > 1:16:01No sugar, perhaps?
1:16:01 > 1:16:04No, just dried peaches.
1:16:04 > 1:16:07Dried peaches, huh?!
1:16:07 > 1:16:10Waldo was up there last night eating those peaches.
1:16:12 > 1:16:18He's a great fool to eat my peaches. They're full of mites and hard as stones.
1:16:25 > 1:16:28SOFTLY: Waldo?
1:16:28 > 1:16:30Waldo!
1:16:30 > 1:16:34BARKING
1:16:39 > 1:16:44Answer me as you would your own father, in whose place I now stand here.
1:16:44 > 1:16:48Did you or did you not eat those peaches in the loft?
1:16:48 > 1:16:53Go on, say you took them, boy. Then he won't beat you so much.
1:16:55 > 1:16:58So, you have nothing to say to us?
1:16:58 > 1:17:03When a boy goes knocking about the loft it's natural to suppose he's been up to some mischief.
1:17:03 > 1:17:07Where there is mischief, it must be taken out.
1:17:07 > 1:17:10Waldo, confess to me this instant. You ate those peaches.
1:17:13 > 1:17:17I think a little punishment might perhaps be beneficial.
1:17:17 > 1:17:23It will enable you, Waldo, to reflect on the enormity of the sin that you have committed.
1:17:23 > 1:17:27You may also think about the submission that you owe to those that are older and wiser than you are,
1:17:27 > 1:17:31whose duty it is to check and correct you.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34Excuse me, ladies.
1:17:41 > 1:17:44Very sorry, Waldo.
1:17:44 > 1:17:50Exceedingly sorry that you have chosen to act in this manner.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53WHIMPERING
1:17:53 > 1:17:56Well, perhaps a naked back...
1:17:59 > 1:18:03WALDO CRIES IN PAIN
1:18:07 > 1:18:13- What's going on?- Bonaparte's giving Waldo a thrashing.- No! - And he deserves it, too.
1:18:13 > 1:18:16Lyndall! Lyndall!
1:18:19 > 1:18:21Lyndall!
1:18:21 > 1:18:23Lyndall, Bonaparte's beating Waldo!
1:18:23 > 1:18:28- Please, beg him to stop! - The more you beg, the more he won't. - I think he wants to kill him!
1:18:28 > 1:18:30Come on!
1:18:37 > 1:18:39Papa...
1:18:39 > 1:18:41Papa...
1:18:41 > 1:18:44That'll teach him.
1:19:00 > 1:19:02Where d'you think you're going?
1:19:02 > 1:19:08- ..Are you going to let her take it? - Why don't YOU stop her? - You take it from her.
1:19:08 > 1:19:13- I thought you were master of the farm now.- YOU had the key.- YOU gave it to me!
1:19:28 > 1:19:30Get some warm water, Em.
1:19:36 > 1:19:39DOG CRIES
1:20:03 > 1:20:06We won't be young always, Waldo.
1:20:06 > 1:20:08One day we'll also have power.
1:20:25 > 1:20:28Waldo, what's in this box?
1:20:30 > 1:20:34I don't know. I've never seen it before.
1:20:34 > 1:20:36Open it.
1:20:53 > 1:20:58He must have been saving it. For so long.
1:20:58 > 1:21:04- Now Lyndall can go to school.- And you can make your machine again.- No. My machine's dead.
1:21:05 > 1:21:09It's not, Waldo. Otto wouldn't want you to do that.
1:21:09 > 1:21:13You made it once, you can do it again. I know you can.
1:21:15 > 1:21:18She's right, Waldo. And Em can get a sewing machine.
1:21:18 > 1:21:21There's enough money here for us to do anything.
1:22:35 > 1:22:40- The hills are SO beautiful. - Otto always thought so.
1:22:54 > 1:22:59- Guess what. I got the part I need to finish the machine. - Can I see?
1:23:11 > 1:23:14'Trana set the cat amongst the chickens.
1:23:14 > 1:23:21'There's nothing a rogue likes more than a plump farmer's daughter with a rich dowry.'
1:23:21 > 1:23:24Come.
1:23:24 > 1:23:27I think... It's time!
1:23:37 > 1:23:40CLOCK CHIMES
1:23:51 > 1:23:54What was that?
1:23:54 > 1:23:57Me, Tant Sannie, closing my book.
1:23:57 > 1:24:01And what book is this now? You know how much trouble these books cause.
1:24:01 > 1:24:04Just a book. From Em's father.
1:24:04 > 1:24:06From the loft.
1:24:08 > 1:24:11Goodnight, Tant Sannie. Sleep well.
1:24:11 > 1:24:13Come, Em.
1:24:14 > 1:24:17Goodnight.
1:24:25 > 1:24:27INAUDIBLE
1:24:27 > 1:24:31I can just see what an ungodly book it is, you can't even say the name.
1:24:34 > 1:24:39Aren't there enough curses on this farm without asking Almighty God to punish us more?
1:24:41 > 1:24:45Didn't my minister tell me when I was confirmed, never to read
1:24:45 > 1:24:48any book except my Bible, and that the devil was in all other books?
1:24:48 > 1:24:52And I never have read any other book. And I never will.
1:24:55 > 1:25:00- But Missus, I am scared of the loft, it's dark.- Hold your tongue and get up there!
1:25:03 > 1:25:08- Missus, I...- Don't talk back to me, get up!- Please.- Quickly. - It's dark, Missus.- Quickly!
1:25:08 > 1:25:14- It's scary. - 'Tant Sannie was so predictable, and my plan fell into place.'
1:25:14 > 1:25:17It's a box filled with books!
1:25:17 > 1:25:21- Yes, Missus.- This is what happens when you leave things to servants.
1:25:21 > 1:25:24But they'll move faster when I marry Bonaparte, oh, yes.
1:25:24 > 1:25:29# Thy fair body, oh my girl Shall Bonaparte possess
1:25:30 > 1:25:34- # His fingers in thy money box... # - Trana!
1:25:34 > 1:25:37Trana? ..Sir.
1:25:37 > 1:25:39Mr Blenkins, sir.
1:25:39 > 1:25:44- Have you seen Trana?- Nope.
1:25:44 > 1:25:48Tant Sannie asked me to tell her that she's gone to the farm for the day.
1:25:48 > 1:25:51- ..Oh, I'll tell her.- Thank you.
1:25:54 > 1:25:58- I found it, Missus! - Wait, I'm coming up.
1:25:58 > 1:26:00Fatter women than me go up ladders.
1:26:06 > 1:26:08Help me, man!
1:26:21 > 1:26:23Pull! ..Argh!
1:26:40 > 1:26:43Let me see these ungodly things.
1:26:52 > 1:26:55What d'you want? I must get my aunt.
1:26:59 > 1:27:01Sit there, my love.
1:27:02 > 1:27:05Make yourself comfortable. Put your feet up.
1:27:05 > 1:27:09- My aunt is just down the road. - Your aunt has gone out somewhere.
1:27:09 > 1:27:16Long have I waited for this auspicious event, to be with your angelic beauty.
1:27:17 > 1:27:25Long, long, endless hours have I yearned to spend a solitary moment by your side.
1:27:25 > 1:27:30How long have I desired this moment, but that wicked wrinkled old aunt
1:27:30 > 1:27:32- of yours is always casting her suspicious shadows on us.- Wah!
1:27:32 > 1:27:36Look into my eyes, Trana. Oh, those eyes.
1:27:36 > 1:27:41- Mirrors to the soul, mirrors to the glorious creature that lies within. - Whoa! No!
1:27:41 > 1:27:44< Oh, but yes, my angel, yes.
1:27:44 > 1:27:45Do you have heartburn?
1:27:45 > 1:27:52- Wait here.- Your nose, so perfectly pointed to the heavens, and your bosom filled with sweet honey.
1:27:52 > 1:27:57I don't understand. You mustn't! My aunt will be right back.
1:27:57 > 1:28:02Comfort me with apples. Oh, what I would give to have such sweetness pass my lips.
1:28:02 > 1:28:05For I am sick of love.
1:28:05 > 1:28:09- Your hands, my love, so delicate, so soft.- Stop it, please!
1:28:09 > 1:28:15How I desire them to touch me, even for just one fleeting moment.
1:28:15 > 1:28:19- My father will be very angry if you touch them.- (Get that!)
1:28:19 > 1:28:27Thy eyes are like doves within thy cheeks. Thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Mount Gilead.
1:28:27 > 1:28:29Thy teeth are even shore like a flock of sheep.
1:28:29 > 1:28:35- Sheep?!- And everyone bears twins and none is barren among them.- Cease!
1:28:35 > 1:28:37Come, open.
1:28:37 > 1:28:42Angel, I cannot bear to be apart from ya. I love ya, Trana.
1:28:42 > 1:28:45- What do you mean?! - I want you to marry me.
1:28:45 > 1:28:47But no, I don't want to marry you!
1:28:47 > 1:28:51Oh, yes, yes, you must! I cannot bear to be without ya.
1:28:51 > 1:28:55Please! Don't try to kill yourself because I don't.
1:28:55 > 1:28:59- Let go!- Argh, Trana! Trana, I love you!
1:28:59 > 1:29:01Don't abandon me, I love you!
1:29:01 > 1:29:05I love you, Trana, I love you! I love...
1:29:05 > 1:29:06Oh! Oh!
1:29:06 > 1:29:08Oh, oh!
1:29:11 > 1:29:15- Oh!- You! You fake! You impostor!
1:29:15 > 1:29:18- My dove, you misunderstand. - I misunderstand nothing!
1:29:18 > 1:29:22- You bloody Irishman! - You're treating me very badly.
1:29:22 > 1:29:28Can a man not talk with a lady without salted meat and pickled water being thrown at him?
1:29:28 > 1:29:32- Sannie, I'm a gentleman.- Mr "I'm a gentleman".- I'm coming for you.
1:29:32 > 1:29:34You bloody foreigners!
1:29:34 > 1:29:38You're all the same. You'll be sorry.
1:30:14 > 1:30:20Don't call her. I always thought you such promising children, though you mayn't have known it.
1:30:20 > 1:30:22Give me that! Come!
1:30:22 > 1:30:27- Just you wait, Mr "I'm a gentleman". - I'm just about to depart.
1:30:27 > 1:30:31- Farewell, my children. May the good Lord bless you.- Get him!
1:30:31 > 1:30:32Get him!
1:30:37 > 1:30:40Don't let him get away! Ya! Get him!
1:30:45 > 1:30:48Don't come back to my farm again!
1:30:48 > 1:30:50Run! Ya! Run!
1:30:50 > 1:30:56There he goes, man, yes! Ah, you bloody Englishman, you don't come back here!
1:30:56 > 1:31:00- Run! - CHILDREN GIGGLE
1:31:02 > 1:31:05Christian! Catch a sheep for me, please.
1:31:13 > 1:31:18'Bonaparte got his just deserts. 'Twas glorious.
1:31:18 > 1:31:23'Tant Sannie was very sheepish after that whole episode and eventually let me go to school.
1:31:25 > 1:31:28'Em stayed on the farm, she loved so much.
1:31:28 > 1:31:32'And Waldo went on to make a small fortune.
1:31:32 > 1:31:36'Adults will never hurt us ever again.'
