0:02:34 > 0:02:41- Is the new minister married? - I hear not. What a scramble there'll be among the spinsters.

0:03:02 > 0:03:09He's little more than a laddie! I'm thinking he's too small. Where's the reverence?

0:03:09 > 0:03:14We should have chosen the long candidate from Aberdeen after all!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16No, we got the pick of the lot.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22- I tell you, he prays like one giving orders.- Ah, well, we'll see!

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Thank you.

0:03:41 > 0:03:47- Does my hat make me look taller? - Aye, you're almost long today.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Welcome, Mr Dishart. Welcome to the Auld Licht Manse.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Thank you, Mr Carfrae. This is my mother.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00- How do you do, Mrs Dishart? - How do you do?- Come in.- Thank you.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Outta ma way, ya pudding-headed policeman!

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Will you take a chair?

0:04:11 > 0:04:16I hope you will be as happy here as I have been.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's like a dream.

0:04:20 > 0:04:28The first time I entered this room, I decided to cut down that cherry tree because it kept out the light.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32It outlives me - I grew old while looking for the axe.

0:04:34 > 0:04:41- Yes, Jean?- There's several folk at the back door. Would you give them water outta the well?

0:04:41 > 0:04:46Some of the pumps is locked on account of the dry weather.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh... Tell them to help themselves.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00There's scarcely enough for ourselves.

0:05:00 > 0:05:07I should tell you that three of them is no members of the Auld Licht congregation.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09One even belongs to the UP church!

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Let that make no difference.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29A pail full for Auld Lichts - all other denominations, one cup.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Good day, Mr Dishart.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Gavin! Gavin! Ta think...

0:05:50 > 0:05:52It's all come true!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Your own church!

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Oh, the years I've lived for this day.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01And the sacrifices you've made.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Mother, now you'll have eggs every morning.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08You're mistress of Auld Licht Manse!

0:06:08 > 0:06:10The Auld Licht Manse!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Gavin, how many rooms are there?

0:06:13 > 0:06:18- Five.- Five?- Oh, it'll seem large at first but you'll get used to it.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23- And you shall have a silk dress with beads on it!- Gavin, stop!

0:06:23 > 0:06:28Not another word do we utter till we say a prayer of thankfulness.

0:06:37 > 0:06:44Gavin... Do you think I could have a new bonnet with blue trimmings on it?

0:06:44 > 0:06:49My old one wouldna go very well with the silk dress.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52You shall have blue feathers if you want.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04I entreat you, cherish the goodness that is in your hearts.

0:07:04 > 0:07:10Listen to the voice of conscience for it's the safeguard of humanity!

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Our text this morning keeps before us the fact

0:07:14 > 0:07:19that sinners have the scripture of promise, rebirth and regeneration.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22They need never despair,

0:07:22 > 0:07:27never be without hope of redemption from the sin in which we're born.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32We were all born in sin. Aw!

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Come home, Father.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Go away, Micah!

0:07:39 > 0:07:43Our sins are never too great regards mercy,

0:07:43 > 0:07:46but if a man have many sins or only one sin!

0:07:46 > 0:07:52Say it is the sin of drunkenness, and he remains unrepentant,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55that sin will utterly consume him!

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Does anyone desire to be consumed by drunkenness?

0:08:00 > 0:08:05If you're referring to me, Minister, I'd rather consume the drink!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Come forward.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Come forward, Rob Dow!

0:08:41 > 0:08:44You hulking man of sin!

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Sit on the stair and attend to me

0:08:47 > 0:08:51or I'll step down and run you out of the house of God!

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Sit down!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19And now, my friends...

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Again, I remind you...

0:09:23 > 0:09:26There is no need to despair.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Up then, poor soul!

0:09:28 > 0:09:33Throw off this vile habit dragging you down! It is not too late.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37There is yet time to stand four square with the world.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42To look your fellow man in the eye and cry, "I too am a man!"

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Any man who can bring Rob to his knees is one to be reckoned with.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58When Rob interrupted the service, I felt awfy sorry for Mr Dishart

0:09:58 > 0:10:00but he didnae need our sympathy.

0:10:00 > 0:10:05He disnae lack courage to stand up to a drunken hulk like Rob Dow!

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Aye, Tammas!- He has the gift!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Thrums is such a quiet-like place.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18- They said in Glasgow it was a call from the mouth of hell.- Cruel words.

0:10:18 > 0:10:25There was an ugly outbreak two months ago - manufacturers reduced the price of the web.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30- To a town of weavers, it meant starvation.- What did they do?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Turned on the manufacturers, made a bonfire of their doors.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Six policemen were sent back tied to the seats of their cart.

0:10:39 > 0:10:46- Policemen? And no-one has been punished? - Not yet but the sheriff is canny.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51He'll come at night with soldiers and seize the ringleaders in bed.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56I cannae see why Widow Henderson disnae give old Sam a headstone.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59He left enough money, I'm hearing.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- That's Lord Rintoul's castle.- Oh.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Have you ever looked on the lord?- No.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Or on the lord's young ladyship?- No.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I have.- Have you?

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Rintoul is old and he's to be married to a young ladyship.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27Of course, she's no her ladyship yet but they're to be married soon.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32So I may say I've seen her ladyship. Aye, it's an impressive sight.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34SINGING

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Is that singing?

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Aye, it is singing surely! And on the Sabbath!

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Must be one of them Egyptians in Tarram Wood!

0:11:59 > 0:12:03I'll find out who's desecrating the Sabbath day.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12SINGING CONTINUES

0:12:54 > 0:12:58SHE STARTS SINGING AGAIN

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Woman!

0:13:02 > 0:13:06It's unlawful for gypsies to be here.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10- Have you not read the sheriff's proclamation?- What?

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Have you not read the sheriff's proclamation?

0:13:14 > 0:13:18- I dinnae ken how to read. - I'll read it to you.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27"Warning! All gypsies...

0:13:27 > 0:13:32"and other wandering vagrants found trespassing in the parish of Thrums,

0:13:32 > 0:13:37"will be arrested and summarily dealt with..."

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Woman!

0:13:53 > 0:13:58- What have you got? - Fifteen-two and one for the last.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02Fifteen two, fifteen four, fifteen six, eight and ten...

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Eighteen!

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Fifteen two, fifteen four, fifteen six, fifteen eight and eight...

0:14:12 > 0:14:17are sixteen! Cribbage is a game of skill, Evalina.

0:14:20 > 0:14:27- I wonder where Barbara is? - Your fiancee has not yet returned from her walk!

0:14:29 > 0:14:33Try to accept my betrothal with a little better grace.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Captain Halliwell and the sheriff to see you.- Ah!

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Lord Rintoul!- How do you do?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50This is my sister, the Lady Evalina.

0:14:59 > 0:15:06We'll teach the weavers they cannot flout the law without suffering the consequences.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11- Is everything arranged?- Yes, we have the names of the ringleaders.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16We'll move in after sunset and take them unawares as we did before.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20We must be careful - I do not think they intend to be taken again quite so easily.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- I have reason to believe they've made preparations.- Preparations?

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- To resist my men? - I'm afraid so.- Rest easy - we shall take them by surprise.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32We shall have the offenders in the lockup in no time at all.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33Well, I hope so.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Eh, Mr Dishart?- Hello, Wearyworld!

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- I was just going out for a breath of air.- Rab Dow's compliments.

0:15:42 > 0:15:51- He says if you're not there within an hour, he'll break out the drink again.- I'll go at once.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- You'll let me go a bit with you? - Of course.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00Till Rab sent me on this errand, not a soul has spoken to me this day.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05Many have I spoken to but not a man, woman or bairn would fling me a word.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08I've often meant to ask, Wearyworld, why are you so unpopular?

0:16:08 > 0:16:14- I'm polis, the first ever in Thrums. - Didn't the people appoint you?

0:16:14 > 0:16:19Aye! They're the ones that look down on me as a disgrace for accepting.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Even my wife is short with me when I've got on my uniform.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27- It'll be a consolation you're discharging useful duties.- I'm no!

0:16:27 > 0:16:32Charles Dixon says the sight of my uniform rouses his anger so much,

0:16:32 > 0:16:34that it makes him smash windows!

0:16:34 > 0:16:40- A peaceable man till I was appointed. - But they recognise your authority.

0:16:40 > 0:16:45They wouldnae even come to the lockup after I lay hands on them.

0:16:45 > 0:16:51- Do they say they won't come? - Catch them saying anything. They give me a whap into the gutters.

0:16:51 > 0:16:58- If they spoke, I wouldnae complain. I'm sociable.- I can see... Evening.

0:17:00 > 0:17:07Well, it was pleasant tae crack a word wi' somebody. I'll be on ma rounds now!

0:17:09 > 0:17:13Ah, it's a weary world,

0:17:13 > 0:17:15when nobody bides you in it.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Micah?

0:17:27 > 0:17:34Father put me out! He's been talking and arguing with the deevil for an hour!

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Don't be frightened.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Rab...

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Oh, it's a weary world.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54WOMAN SHOUTS

0:17:54 > 0:17:58In the name of the law, did onybody say onything?

0:18:02 > 0:18:07Och, it's just a gypsy body. I'm the polis!

0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Oh, I didnae ken. Please, Mr Polis, dinnae take me to the lockup. I'll go away.- No hurry.

0:18:12 > 0:18:19Stay and talk and maybe Wearyworld won't be hard on you. Sit doon.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Sit doon.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34Never be a polisman, lassie, or you'll have feet like nobody else's.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Aye, but it's grand work! A great responsibility!- Och!

0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Are ya here in case the soldiers come?- The sodyers?

0:18:43 > 0:18:50I hope I'm a thousand miles away. Ma heart's wi' the weavers but ma duty's wi' the law.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55Three blasts of the weaver's horn will loose a bees nest in Thrums.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'll be in the middle!

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Three blasts on the horn?

0:19:00 > 0:19:06Aye, a signal horn in the Auld Mill. Everybody knows except the minister.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10He's all for peace so nobody tells him.

0:19:10 > 0:19:17- You mean the little minister with the twinkle in his eye? - I mean the Reverend Mr Dishart!

0:19:17 > 0:19:22Come along, lassie, and walk with me. Maybe you'll gimme some of your gab.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34If that disnae beat all!

0:19:43 > 0:19:49Oh... Please, sir, don't hand me to the sheriff. I've lost ma way!

0:19:49 > 0:19:54- Oh, perhaps I can help.- You can if you tell me where the Auld Mill is.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58- The Auld Mill? - Aye, I'm to meet my sweetheart...

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I mean my father there.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I cannae even find the place.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09I pass it on my way. I'll direct you.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Oh, you're kind, sir.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15I say...

0:20:20 > 0:20:25I take it you must be the new little minister I hear talk about.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm the new minister.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32- Do they say "little" minister?- No, that was my fault. It popped out.

0:20:32 > 0:20:37It wasnae meant uncomplimentary. You're just the size I like.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44Oh, they say bonnie things about you. That is, the lassies do.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Would you like to hear?

0:20:47 > 0:20:50I didnae hear you. You would or you wouldna?

0:20:50 > 0:20:56- I've said nothing.- I don't want to tell you if you dinnae want to hear.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02They say you're against the weavers fighting the soldiers if they come.

0:21:02 > 0:21:07- I'm against fighting.- Even when they're right?- Fighting won't help.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Here's the mill.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Yo!

0:21:19 > 0:21:22They're not here but they've left the horn.

0:21:22 > 0:21:27It's our way of calling each other - they'll be looking for me.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29HORN DOESN'T SOUND

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Give it a blow so they'll find me.

0:21:38 > 0:21:42Can't you blow yourself? It's your way of calling each other.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47But I'm fair out of breath from taking such long strides.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51It's hard for a lassie to keep up wi' a man.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00SHORT BLAST

0:22:00 > 0:22:05- There.- Now that was barely a toot. Could you blow a wee bit louder?

0:22:05 > 0:22:10It takes a strong man to blow a lusty blast!

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- I am a strong man!- Aye, sir!

0:22:15 > 0:22:18LOUD BLAST

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- They must have heard that. - Again.- No, that must suffice.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- If you're tired...- Tired?

0:22:27 > 0:22:33LONG, LOUD BLAST

0:22:35 > 0:22:37That was grand.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- DRUMS - What's that?

0:22:40 > 0:22:43That's them. Goodbye and thank you.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54DRUMS DROWN SPEECH

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Hurry!

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Hurry, we need you here!

0:23:18 > 0:23:21Hello, doctor. You'll be proud of me this night.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24If you're wise, you'll go home.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35Hey, hey, hey, McCallum...! Hey, Mrs MacIntosh...!

0:23:37 > 0:23:41Throw away your weapons! It's ma duty to arrest any man wi' a weapon.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Go home and go to bed!

0:23:47 > 0:23:51You'll find your comrades gathered at the brae.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55- What's happening? - The soldiers are coming!

0:23:59 > 0:24:06And mind you, let no man tell the name of any that took part in the last riots!

0:24:06 > 0:24:13Remember, you're all dumb cretins and don't know who tied the policemen to the cart.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18Andrew Struthers...! Rob Dow...!

0:24:18 > 0:24:24Snecky Hobort...! Hendry Munn...! Tammas Whammond...!

0:24:24 > 0:24:28And all of you who are Auld Lichts! Lay down your weapons!

0:24:28 > 0:24:33Let me have my fling this night and I'll bide sober for 12 months!

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Oh, Rob! Rob!

0:24:36 > 0:24:39You're the man I prayed with an hour ago.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46Aye... Down with your weapons or I'll brain you wi' 'em!

0:24:46 > 0:24:51Aye, lay them doon but keep your feet on them.

0:24:53 > 0:24:58If you fight, your wives and children may be shot in the streets.

0:24:58 > 0:25:03The soldiers come for a dozen. Will you benefit if they take a hundred?

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Aye, harken to him!

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- There's the gypsy. - Aye, she'll tell us.

0:25:09 > 0:25:14If I was a man, I wouldnae get caught like a mouse in a trap.

0:25:14 > 0:25:22- How dare you!- What kind of women let men go to jail when a bold front can lead them to safety?

0:25:22 > 0:25:29- This abandoned woman is inciting you to riot.- You know I wish you well. There's not much time.

0:25:29 > 0:25:36- The soldiers will be here afore you know it.- Don't listen! - She tells the truth!

0:25:36 > 0:25:40You all run in different directions, you're lost.

0:25:40 > 0:25:45If you keep together, you can force a way into the country and scatter.

0:25:45 > 0:25:52- A good plot.- That's what to do.- No! The truth is not this wicked woman.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58The soldiers! The soldiers are coming!

0:25:58 > 0:26:01They're here!

0:26:01 > 0:26:07- You see! You see!- Lay down your weapons!- Come along! Follow me!

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Women! Get stones! The bigger, the better!

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- See how she flouted me?- I did.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29Charge when I give the order...! Now!

0:26:29 > 0:26:36- Men get ready to run! Women, dinnae go till I say! - They'll fire!- Dinnae fear!

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Let fly!

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Don't fling your stones!

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Turn them down the brae!

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Advance and hem them in.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Oh, if I could only fling straight. Here, get him!

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Woman!- You're a dear!

0:27:22 > 0:27:25Only six prisoners, your Lordship.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30It's all been a fiasco because you did not take them by surprise!

0:27:30 > 0:27:35- The soldiers wouldn't spread it. - They didn't know their destination.

0:27:35 > 0:27:40We'll find out something when we lay our hands on that gypsy.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Lord Rintoul?

0:27:43 > 0:27:48- Yes?- I am Gavin Dishart, the Auld Licht minister.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50I am happy to know you, Mr Dishart.

0:27:50 > 0:27:55- This is the sheriff and Captain Halliwell.- How do you do?

0:27:58 > 0:28:03- You did well tonight in the interest of peace and order.- Thank you.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07I'm afraid the gypsy had more influence than I had.

0:28:07 > 0:28:14- You don't happen to know who gave the warning signal? - Signal? What signal?

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- The horn. Three blasts of the horn. - Horn...

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Three blasts...

0:28:21 > 0:28:23No.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26I didn't know.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30- You look very tired, Mr Dishart. - Yes... Yes, I am.

0:28:30 > 0:28:37I came to ask you to be as lenient as you can with these men you've arrested.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40They're so easily misled...

0:28:42 > 0:28:44As we all are.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48They will not be dealt with too harshly.

0:28:48 > 0:28:53- They must learn not to throw stones at soldiers.- You're right, of course.

0:28:53 > 0:28:58- If you pardon me, I shall go. - Good night, Mr Dishart.- Good night.

0:28:58 > 0:29:06- And let me thank you again for all you did for us tonight. You set a wonderful example.- Thank you.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Halt!

0:30:06 > 0:30:09- UPPER-CLASS ACCENT: - The soldiers, dear.

0:30:09 > 0:30:16It's you, Mr Dishart and your lady. No-one passes unless we know who they are.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20- You haven't found the gypsy? - We'll get her soon.

0:30:20 > 0:30:25I thought I might help these people but I can do so little.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29- Well, your husband... - Uh...- Did you say something?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Yes...- I agree. We needn't detain the captain.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35I'm only a sergeant, ma'am.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40- Oh, and how long are you to remain in Thrums?- A few hours.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44If it were not for the gypsy, we'd be gone.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48She'll never slip through your fingers.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Sergeant, I must...- Indeed, dear. You're tired.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56- Good night.- Your servant, Mrs Dishart.- But...- Come, love.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13You, woman!

0:31:13 > 0:31:16- It was beautiful!- It was iniquitous.

0:31:16 > 0:31:20- And I, a minister! - You can't help that!

0:31:20 > 0:31:24- No blame attaches to me.- No, you couldn't help being a minister.

0:31:24 > 0:31:31- You could help me. Thank you so much.- Don't dare thank me. I forbid it.

0:31:31 > 0:31:37Why didn't you hand me over then? I didn't have my hand over your mouth.

0:31:37 > 0:31:42It's all over and no-one will know. You're not angry with me, are you?

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Angry...!- I was afraid you were.

0:31:45 > 0:31:50No, they're not gone. It's not too late. Why don't you shout to them?

0:31:52 > 0:31:55I do not understand you.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58In the square, you spoke broadly.

0:31:58 > 0:32:03- You fling a cloak on and you're a lady.- Maybe the cloak bewitched me.

0:32:03 > 0:32:08Aye, it was just the cloak! For noo, I'm a pair ignorant lassie again.

0:32:08 > 0:32:13My certy but claithes does make a difference to a woman.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17- This is sheer levity.- Goodbye! If you're not to give me up.

0:32:17 > 0:32:22- I'm not a policeman. - Surely we part friends then?- No!

0:32:22 > 0:32:30- I hope never to see your face again. - I cannot help you not liking my face but there's mud on your own.

0:32:43 > 0:32:50- Soldiers on the hill. I cannae escape.- There's no other way.- Help me again.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Why do you do that?

0:32:52 > 0:32:56- She'll see us.- She? Oh, your...- My mother.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Oh, only your mother?

0:32:59 > 0:33:04Only? She may suffer more than you for your behaviour.

0:33:04 > 0:33:10- How?- If you're caught, won't they discover I helped? - You said you didn't.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Yes, I helped you.

0:33:13 > 0:33:19What would they say if they knew you'd called yourself my wife?

0:33:19 > 0:33:24- I'm sorry.- It's not the punishment from men I'm afraid of...

0:33:24 > 0:33:26But from my conscience.

0:33:26 > 0:33:31No, that's not true. I do fear exposure for my mother's sake.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37She's had such trials as you cannot know of.

0:33:37 > 0:33:43Now when I'm able to do something for her, you destroy her happiness.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46You have her life in your hands.

0:33:50 > 0:33:55- Where are you going?- To give myself up. Don't worry - I'll clear you.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Stop!

0:33:59 > 0:34:03Hide in the manse garden - nobody will look for you there.

0:34:03 > 0:34:08- You're a good man. I like you. - Don't say that.

0:34:11 > 0:34:16- Here's the summer seat.- I believe you've liked me all the time.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Can a man like a woman against his will?

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Of course he can. That's the nicest way to be liked.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Good night.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51You will find my text in the book of Ezra.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54The eighth chapter.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Stop making a windmill of your Bible.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14That's Chronicles.

0:36:16 > 0:36:23There is Ruth when she isn't wanted. But it looks as if Ezra had jumped clean out of the Bible.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54You will find my text in Genesis.

0:36:54 > 0:36:59The fall of man through the temptation of woman.

0:37:05 > 0:37:10"When woman saw the tree was good for food and pleasant to the eye,

0:37:10 > 0:37:18"she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also to her husband and he did eat."

0:37:18 > 0:37:25Until a woman ate of the tree of good and evil, there was no sin in the world.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Adam was an erring man,

0:37:29 > 0:37:32but beside Eve, he was respectable.

0:37:41 > 0:37:46This errand wouldn't seem so unpleasant to you if you smoked.

0:37:46 > 0:37:52Going to the poor house is bitter medicine for old Nanny or any woman to take.

0:37:52 > 0:37:56After all, the poor house is not a jail.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Am I deaf in my left ear too?

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Mr Dishart...

0:38:07 > 0:38:10Were you ever in love?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Never!

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Well, well! Don't terrify the horse!

0:38:25 > 0:38:28Maybe I should have come alone.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31If you pray, she's sure to break down.

0:38:31 > 0:38:37- Couldn't you pray cheerfully?- You don't look very cheerful yourself.

0:38:37 > 0:38:41Nonsense! I have no patience with false sentiments.

0:38:48 > 0:38:54- Nanny, see! I've brought Mr Dishart with me.- Thank you kindly, sirs.

0:38:54 > 0:38:59- Please take a chair.- No, Nanny, it's best we go at once.- No! No!

0:38:59 > 0:39:03Nanny, remember what I told you about the poor.

0:39:03 > 0:39:09- The place is a fine house and you'll be happy in it.- Aye, I'll be happy.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13If I could just stay here though I wasnae happy.

0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Think of the fine food - broth every day.- It'll be terrible enjoyable.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20There'll always be pleasant company.

0:39:20 > 0:39:28- After you've been there a week, you won't be the same woman.- That's it - I'll be a woman of the poor race.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Oh, Mither, Mither!

0:39:31 > 0:39:35You little thought when you bore me, that I would come to this.

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Well, we must go. Put on your cap, Nanny.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44I dinnae need to put on a cap.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46I've got a bonnet.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Are you sure there's nobody looking?

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Nobody in sight, Nanny.

0:40:02 > 0:40:08I'm a base woman no tae be thankful tae them that's been so good to me.

0:40:09 > 0:40:15Oh, Mither! I wish terrible they'd come and taken me at night.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17This is more than I can stand.

0:40:17 > 0:40:21I've tried ye, sir, but oh, I'm grateful.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25And I'm ready now.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44I cannae help it.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Have pity on her, oh, God.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53Oh, God, do you mind?

0:41:01 > 0:41:06- This is no place for you.- Oh... They're taking me to the poor house.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Dinnae let them.- How dare you!

0:41:09 > 0:41:14- You don't see.- I see two men dragging a poor, weak woman away.

0:41:14 > 0:41:19You poor dear! I won't let them take you away. Go!

0:41:19 > 0:41:26- Sympathy is not what she needs. - And you who live in luxury would send her to the poor house.

0:41:26 > 0:41:32Mr Dishart gives much to the poor - he won't be preached to by a gypsy.

0:41:32 > 0:41:38- We're waiting for you, Nanny.- Aye, I'm coming. I have to go, lassie.

0:41:38 > 0:41:43No, you're not going. It's these men who are going. Go and leave us.

0:41:43 > 0:41:51- And you will take care of Nanny... - Aye!- Where's the money coming from? - Oh, the money... I'd forgotten...

0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Seven shillings a week! - Oh... Is that all?

0:41:55 > 0:41:58- She shall have it.- When?- At once!

0:41:58 > 0:42:03No, it's no possible tonight but I'll bring five pounds tomorrow.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07No, I'll send it. No, you must come for it.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11You will meet me Tuesday this hour at the Auld Mill.

0:42:11 > 0:42:16How can a vagrant have five pounds when she hasn't five shillings?

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Look at my ring!

0:42:18 > 0:42:21Do you know its value?

0:42:21 > 0:42:23There's a quirk in this.

0:42:23 > 0:42:28Mr Dishart, give Nanny your arm. I'll carry the box.

0:42:28 > 0:42:31Unless you trust this woman's word!

0:42:32 > 0:42:34You do trust me.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38Yes... I trust you.

0:42:40 > 0:42:46You daren't meet this gypsy! What'll they say in Thrums? Send someone.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49No...

0:42:49 > 0:42:51He must come himself... Alone!

0:42:52 > 0:42:57So be it! I hope her stocking is full of gold for your sake, Nanny.

0:42:57 > 0:43:02Now that I'm here, I'll make a call down the road.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Will you come, Mr Dishart?

0:43:04 > 0:43:09- No, I'll walk home, doctor.- Well, will you come outside a minute?

0:43:16 > 0:43:21Who is she? You saw how easily she put the Scotch tongue on and off.

0:43:21 > 0:43:25She's as much a mystery to me as she is to you.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29I dare say she's a wealthy gypsy from the south.

0:43:29 > 0:43:34They're said to have a very grand manner when they like.

0:43:34 > 0:43:39A man's second childhood begins when a woman gets hold of him.

0:43:39 > 0:43:43Oh, don't alarm yourself about me, doctor.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46Ah, well! Good luck.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48But be wary.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02Nanny and I are having a cup of tea.

0:44:02 > 0:44:07- Do you think we should invite the minister?- We couldna dare!

0:44:07 > 0:44:10Excuse her for the presumption.

0:44:12 > 0:44:17- Dinnae be so free - he's the Auld Licht minister!- Oh!

0:44:19 > 0:44:23- There isn't any water. - Well, get some.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28Lassie, mind who you're speaking tae! To send a minister to the well?

0:44:29 > 0:44:32I will go.

0:44:32 > 0:44:36- Where's the well? - Give me the pitcher, Mr Dishart.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39What talk there would be if you were seen.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43Don't you think so?

0:44:43 > 0:44:50- Nanny, how can you follow our conversation when you listen only to Mr Dishart?- What?

0:44:50 > 0:44:55- She was saying...- I was saying he's married.- He has no wife.

0:44:55 > 0:45:00No? I did wonder at any mere woman daring to marry such a minister.

0:45:00 > 0:45:06One of the soldiers told me about his wife. Mr Dishart introduced her.

0:45:06 > 0:45:10Sodyers? Never trust a sodyer, lassie.

0:45:10 > 0:45:16- Nanny, I was told that she was rather like me.- Heaven forbid!- What?

0:45:16 > 0:45:21I'm no meaning you're no the bonniest lass I ever saw,

0:45:21 > 0:45:28but you'd know his contempt for bonny faces if you'd heard his sermon.

0:45:28 > 0:45:32- Excellent cup of tea. - When did he preach against women?

0:45:32 > 0:45:37- Oh, it was long ago.- It was the Sabbath after the sodyers were here.

0:45:37 > 0:45:42- The day you changed your text.- I forbid you to repeat that story.

0:45:42 > 0:45:46- Why did you change text, Mr Dishart?- I...

0:45:48 > 0:45:51I suddenly thought of a better one.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00- Well, I must go.- I too.

0:46:00 > 0:46:05- Which way do you take?- Not yours. I go into the wood and vanish.

0:46:05 > 0:46:13- Good day.- Thank you for your kindness. I have peace to the end of my days. I wish the same to you.

0:46:13 > 0:46:17I've read my fortune, Nanny, and there's not much happiness in it.

0:46:17 > 0:46:22- I hope that's not true. - Do you really care?- Yes, I care.

0:46:22 > 0:46:26- Because you don't know me. - Because I do know you.

0:46:26 > 0:46:31Well you misunderstand me less than those that have known me longer.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35- Babbie... - I'm glad to hear you say that.

0:46:35 > 0:46:40I thought you didn't really like me as you never called me by my name.

0:46:40 > 0:46:44That wasn't so. I dare not say your name or I would have said more...

0:46:44 > 0:46:49Oh, I was wrong. You don't understand me at all.

0:47:04 > 0:47:10Oh, good day, Nanny. As soon as I have the money, I'll bring it to you.

0:47:13 > 0:47:16Oh, what a pity he's a minister!

0:47:23 > 0:47:27Rob, you're just in time to hear a query about the minister.

0:47:27 > 0:47:32Mr Dishart has fallen in... What do they call it, Henry?

0:47:32 > 0:47:34In love.

0:47:34 > 0:47:38Now we know what he was doing yesterday.

0:47:38 > 0:47:40Who's the woman?

0:47:40 > 0:47:42Aye, who is she?

0:47:42 > 0:47:46- If we only knew! - That's what we've been asking.

0:47:46 > 0:47:51If you ken nothing about her, how do you ken she exists?

0:47:51 > 0:47:54We know all about her, except who she is.

0:47:54 > 0:47:58We also know the minister's acting strange.

0:47:58 > 0:48:03I saw him come out of the manse and walk right into a gooseberry bush.

0:48:03 > 0:48:10I saw him come down the school road this morning and the wind blew off his hat.

0:48:10 > 0:48:17- The wind's always looking for hats. - But I dinnae like the way he ran after it.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20He couldnae afford to lose his hat!

0:48:20 > 0:48:26Aye, but he should've run after it more reverently - not that I'm criticising!

0:48:26 > 0:48:30Criticising! You Auld Lichts make an idol of the man.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33It's true...

0:48:33 > 0:48:36Aye, but we canna help it.

0:48:36 > 0:48:43Yet if he were to be led astray, I'd be the first to cut him out of my heart.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45I'd rise against him

0:48:45 > 0:48:51and the whole congregation would rise wi' me and pronounce his doom.

0:48:51 > 0:48:55Tod, man, you make me shiver tae the marrow.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Yes, I believe in you,

0:49:07 > 0:49:12but henceforth you must send your money to Nanny by another messenger.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15You're a gypsy and I'm a minister.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18I refuse to see you again.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21I'm not angry with you but as a minister...

0:49:21 > 0:49:24SINGING

0:49:27 > 0:49:32What are you doing up there? Come down at once.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35# Come doon, come doon, Lady Margaret, he said... #

0:49:35 > 0:49:38If you don't come and give me what I came for...

0:49:38 > 0:49:43# I wouldnae kiss thee, great Argyll I wouldnae kiss thee fairly... #

0:49:43 > 0:49:47You've brought me here to make fun of me.

0:49:47 > 0:49:50I'm coming doon and I've got the money.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57Did you know you were speaking to yourself?

0:49:57 > 0:50:01You're mistaken. I was speaking to you.

0:50:01 > 0:50:06- There's a difference between gypsies and ministers.- But I'll overlook it.

0:50:06 > 0:50:10I cannot allow you to talk disrespectfully of my calling.

0:50:10 > 0:50:15- It's the highest a man can follow. - One must be clever to be a minister.

0:50:15 > 0:50:20- Oh...- It must be nice to speak to people who cannot answer or leave.

0:50:20 > 0:50:28Is it true that before you start to preach, you lock the door to keep the congregation in?

0:50:28 > 0:50:31I must leave if you talk that way.

0:50:33 > 0:50:36Well, I... I only wanted to know.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Tell me who you are, Babbie.

0:50:47 > 0:50:52- I want to know your people, your father and mother.- Why?

0:50:52 > 0:50:54Because I like their daughter.

0:50:57 > 0:51:01You are really good but you will never know my parents.

0:51:03 > 0:51:06- Are they dead?- Maybe.

0:51:08 > 0:51:13But the time has come when I must know everything of you there is.

0:51:13 > 0:51:17- You're no gypsy.- No? - That dress is but a disguise.- Oh...

0:51:17 > 0:51:22- Where did you get the ring?- Why... - Tell me. I must know.- Must know?

0:51:22 > 0:51:26- Where did you get the ring? - Good afternoon to you.

0:51:26 > 0:51:31It's not good afternoon. It's goodbye unless you answer.

0:51:31 > 0:51:37As you please. I will not tell where I got my ring - it's no affair of yours.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40Yes, Babbie, it is.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45Well?

0:51:46 > 0:51:49I thought you were going?

0:51:49 > 0:51:54I was...brushing my hat. Do you want me to go?

0:51:58 > 0:52:01- You can go if you like. - But you said...

0:52:02 > 0:52:04No, I didn't.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10You... You're crying!

0:52:11 > 0:52:14Because you're so unfeeling.

0:52:15 > 0:52:20- What have I said? What have I done? I should have gone away.- Oh...

0:52:20 > 0:52:23You're hard-hearted and cruel.

0:52:23 > 0:52:27- What have I done?- You wished you'd gone away.- You asked me to go.

0:52:27 > 0:52:31- How can you say that? Oh! - I thought you did.

0:52:31 > 0:52:36Now you're unhappy. Babbie, I'm a hopeless lout.

0:52:36 > 0:52:38- No, you're really not.- Babbie...

0:52:38 > 0:52:40I...

0:52:40 > 0:52:45- I've never kissed a woman before. - Before what, Little Minister?

0:52:45 > 0:52:47Oh...

0:52:51 > 0:52:53Oh!

0:52:53 > 0:52:55Oh...!

0:52:55 > 0:53:00If I were a man, I'd choose to be everything I'm not and nothing I am.

0:53:00 > 0:53:05I would scorn to be a liar. I would fight the world honestly but...

0:53:05 > 0:53:08But I'm only a woman and so...

0:53:08 > 0:53:13- That's the kind of man I'd like to marry.- A minister may be all that.

0:53:13 > 0:53:17- He could not spend his days in idleness.- I do not.

0:53:17 > 0:53:22- He must be a leader.- Ministers are. - Makes his influence felt.- Assuredly.

0:53:22 > 0:53:26- Takes the side of the weak against the strong.- Always.

0:53:26 > 0:53:30- Has a mind of his own in front of... - His congregation.

0:53:30 > 0:53:38- He must understand.- I do.- Make me do his bidding. Thrash me.- If you won't listen.- Not be tempted.- Weakness.

0:53:38 > 0:53:43- He must be my master.- Your lord and master. Babbie... I am that man.

0:54:02 > 0:54:07If you'd come home, the minister wouldna ken you took a wee dram.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10I don't care what the minister kens.

0:54:10 > 0:54:14He's no the man I thought him. Be off with ye.

0:54:19 > 0:54:23This is what your conversion amounts to!

0:54:23 > 0:54:28All Mr Dishart has done for you! You should run past the public houses.

0:54:28 > 0:54:35- It's him sends me running to them. - Why are you speaking against the minister?

0:54:35 > 0:54:40- Say that again and I'll do to you what I intend for her.- Who is she?

0:54:40 > 0:54:45- Who is what?- The woman that the minister...- Nothing aboot a woman.

0:54:45 > 0:54:51- I'll swear I never saw them together at the Auld Mill.- The Auld Mill?

0:54:51 > 0:54:54Poof! You only mean the Egyptian.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57Make your mind easy about this, Rob.

0:54:57 > 0:54:59- I know he met her.- He's bewitched!

0:54:59 > 0:55:04I saw him try to put his arms around her at the Auld Mill.

0:55:06 > 0:55:11No, doctor. I'm drunk. Roaring drunk. It wasnae the minister I saw.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14It was another man.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18HE MUMBLES

0:55:29 > 0:55:32Was that lightning?

0:55:53 > 0:55:57- There won't be any more. - Good night.- Good night.

0:55:57 > 0:56:00- Don't sit up any later.- No.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25- Babbie, what is it?- Nothing.

0:56:41 > 0:56:43I must go.

0:56:44 > 0:56:49Babbie, what's happened to bring you here at this hour?

0:56:49 > 0:56:53- I thought that you'd be glad to see me.- I'm very sorry to see you.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56Then I'll go at once.

0:56:56 > 0:57:01- Yes, you must go at once. - Then I won't.- Yes, you will.

0:57:01 > 0:57:05Henceforth, you must do as I see fit.

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Since when have you taken command of me?

0:57:08 > 0:57:12- Since a moment ago when you let me kiss you.- Let you?

0:57:12 > 0:57:15Oh, you did it yourself.

0:57:15 > 0:57:17I was very angry.

0:57:17 > 0:57:19No, you were not.

0:57:20 > 0:57:23Come... I'll carry the lantern.

0:57:23 > 0:57:26You're not going with me.

0:57:26 > 0:57:29- But I am.- Oh, but I won't let you.

0:57:29 > 0:57:34- When I say I'm going, I mean I'm going. Take my arm.- No, I won't.

0:57:34 > 0:57:36Take my arm.

0:57:53 > 0:57:55- Your hat!- What?- Your...

0:57:55 > 0:57:57Oh!

0:57:57 > 0:58:00- Don't you care?- No.- Oh, dear.

0:58:11 > 0:58:16- Wait, I see someone coming. - I've seen him for some time.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18There'll be an uproar if he sees us.

0:58:18 > 0:58:23- I cannot help that. - But why should you suffer for me?

0:58:23 > 0:58:25You're mine.

0:58:31 > 0:58:33Mr Dishart?

0:58:33 > 0:58:35Good evening, doctor.

0:58:35 > 0:58:40- I met Mr Dishart... - You must wonder why we're here.

0:58:40 > 0:58:46- You needn't explain. I'm not your congregation. - That's true. I'll explain nothing.

0:58:46 > 0:58:54If you're going past Nanny's cottage, can I walk with you to save Mr Dishart the trouble?

0:58:54 > 0:58:58Aye, I'm going past Nanny's. Take my arm.

0:58:58 > 0:59:03Tomorrow, dear... I'll come to Nanny's after church.

0:59:05 > 0:59:07Good night, Mr Dishart.

0:59:20 > 0:59:23- You love him too.- I do that.

0:59:23 > 0:59:27There's trouble ahead for him if he's tangled up with you.

0:59:36 > 0:59:39CHURCH BELL RINGS

0:59:43 > 0:59:45G-A-V-I-N - Gavin Dishart.

0:59:45 > 0:59:48Babbie Dishart...

0:59:48 > 0:59:54Oh, the very, very, very, very, very, very, very reverend Mrs Gavin Dishart.

1:00:03 > 1:00:06< SOBBING

1:00:12 > 1:00:15Why are you crying, laddie?

1:00:15 > 1:00:17I'm no crying.

1:00:17 > 1:00:19What's your name?

1:00:19 > 1:00:23Micah's my name and Rob Dow's my father.

1:00:23 > 1:00:26And he's taken to the drink again.

1:00:34 > 1:00:37- What are you doing up there? - I'm wishing.

1:00:37 > 1:00:42- It's a wishing stone.- You're wishing your father wouldnae drink.

1:00:42 > 1:00:47Nah, I'm no. There was a lang time he didnae drink.

1:00:47 > 1:00:50But the woman led him to it again.

1:00:50 > 1:00:52It's about her that I'm wishing.

1:00:55 > 1:00:58I'm wishing she was dead.

1:00:59 > 1:01:01What woman?

1:01:03 > 1:01:06I dinnae ken. But she's a bad one.

1:01:06 > 1:01:11- Did you never see her in your house? - No, if she ever came there,

1:01:11 > 1:01:14he would break her over his knee.

1:01:14 > 1:01:18But how can she have such power over him?

1:01:18 > 1:01:24- It's no him that she has hold of. - Who is it?- It's Mr Dishart.

1:01:28 > 1:01:32How could that send your father to the drink?

1:01:32 > 1:01:36Because my father's terrible fond of him.

1:01:36 > 1:01:43When the folk find out about the woman, they'll stone the minister out of Thrums.

1:01:51 > 1:01:54Why do you run from me?

1:01:54 > 1:01:57I'm feared of you. You're the woman.

1:01:59 > 1:02:02What makes you think that?

1:02:02 > 1:02:04Because you're so bonny.

1:02:06 > 1:02:13You might go away if you kenned what a difference Mr Dishart made in my father.

1:02:15 > 1:02:20How have you such an ill will at the minister?

1:02:20 > 1:02:24If any shame comes to the minister, his old mother will die.

1:02:24 > 1:02:28I'll give you my rabbit if you'll go away.

1:02:28 > 1:02:30I've just the one.

1:02:36 > 1:02:39Oh, well... I'll give you them both

1:02:39 > 1:02:43though I'm might sorry to part with Spotty.

1:02:43 > 1:02:48Keep your rabbits, laddie and cry no more. I'm going away.

1:02:48 > 1:02:53And you'll never come back no more, all your life?

1:02:53 > 1:02:56Never no more, all my life.

1:02:56 > 1:03:00And you'll leave the minister alone forever and ever?

1:03:00 > 1:03:03Forever and ever.

1:03:16 > 1:03:21- We could go to Paris and go to the opera.- Is this a secret, Barbara?

1:03:21 > 1:03:23Nothing at all, Evalina.

1:03:23 > 1:03:29I was merely saying Paris would be a wonderful place for a honeymoon.

1:03:29 > 1:03:34- Paris is a long way off. - And so, alas, is our honeymoon.

1:03:34 > 1:03:37It needn't be.

1:03:37 > 1:03:39Oh...

1:03:39 > 1:03:43Do you mean, sir, that I may marry you tomorrow if I wish?

1:03:43 > 1:03:46- I do, Barbara.- Then I accept.

1:03:46 > 1:03:50An unseemly subject about which to jest.

1:03:50 > 1:03:54- I was not jesting. - Nor am I, Evalina.

1:03:54 > 1:03:57I think we've delayed long enough.

1:03:58 > 1:04:04Why shouldn't we be married soon? Not tomorrow, naturally, but...

1:04:05 > 1:04:07..in a fortnight, say.

1:04:08 > 1:04:11Oh, please don't object.

1:04:11 > 1:04:15Everything can easily be got ready and it is so dreary waiting.

1:04:15 > 1:04:20If my brother wishes to rush into marriage, it's no concern of mine.

1:04:25 > 1:04:28Are you really impatient to marry me?

1:04:28 > 1:04:32- Aren't you impatient to be away from here yourself?- Yes, I am.

1:04:32 > 1:04:35Marry me in a fortnight, Barbara.

1:04:37 > 1:04:43In a fortnight, in a fortnight, in a fortnight, I'll marry you!

1:05:00 > 1:05:05- We can put Rob Dow in jail for this. - I was trying but he wouldnae come.

1:05:05 > 1:05:07Good day, doctor.

1:05:07 > 1:05:13- How are you, Tammas?- Would you like to see the bump on ma heed?

1:05:13 > 1:05:16What can I do for you, Tammas?

1:05:16 > 1:05:18Nothing for me, doctor.

1:05:18 > 1:05:23But the elders of Auld Licht think you should call upon Mr Dishart.

1:05:23 > 1:05:25He's no very well.

1:05:25 > 1:05:30- What's the matter? - That's for you to tell us.

1:05:30 > 1:05:34It might be overwork, then again, it might not.

1:05:34 > 1:05:37If it's serious, he'll send for me.

1:05:37 > 1:05:42- He doesnae think he's sick. - Perhaps he isn't.

1:05:42 > 1:05:47If he isnae, he's in a worse state. I only hope he is sick.

1:05:49 > 1:05:54I'll come back and explain meself later when you're alone.

1:06:01 > 1:06:08Huh! He doesnae want me tae hear but I could tell him more than he could tell me.

1:06:08 > 1:06:13- What can you tell about Mr Dishart? - Two nights ago in Carron Wood,

1:06:13 > 1:06:20I heard the minister ask the gypsy chief if he knew the whereabouts of the Egyptian woman.

1:06:20 > 1:06:23He called her Babbie.

1:06:24 > 1:06:31- See that?- Aye. - If you repeat that to anybody, I'll cut your throat. Understand?

1:06:31 > 1:06:36How could I repeat it, doctor? Nobody speaks or listens tae me!

1:07:11 > 1:07:14Me lord, you shouldnae come in here.

1:07:14 > 1:07:18It's bad luck to see the wedding gown before the ceremony.

1:07:18 > 1:07:23I couldn't wait to see how you'd look tomorrow. It's lovely.

1:07:27 > 1:07:29Well...

1:07:29 > 1:07:31I'm sorry.

1:07:46 > 1:07:50You're tired, my dear. I'll sew the flowers on later.

1:07:50 > 1:07:53I'll help with your dress.

1:07:53 > 1:07:55No, I can do it myself.

1:07:57 > 1:07:59DOOR CLOSES

1:09:10 > 1:09:12- SHE WHISPERS:- Nanny!

1:09:12 > 1:09:16Mercy! Have you risen from the dead?

1:09:16 > 1:09:18Hello, Nanny!

1:09:18 > 1:09:22I've brought money. You haven't gone without?

1:09:22 > 1:09:28- No, Mr Dishart's been here every day you've been away.- How is he?

1:09:28 > 1:09:33Well, I don't know how to say it but something has come over the minister.

1:09:33 > 1:09:35He's no himself.

1:09:35 > 1:09:39The whole town's noticed it. Some try to say it's a woman.

1:09:39 > 1:09:44But I cannae believe that in him, such a scholar. Can you?

1:09:44 > 1:09:46You're crying!

1:09:49 > 1:09:52Lassie, what has come over ye?

1:09:52 > 1:09:57Nothing, it's just that I'm going away and I won't see you again.

1:09:57 > 1:10:00Is it me or is it...?

1:10:00 > 1:10:04Babbie! Don't tell me you've got over fond of Mr Dishart!

1:10:07 > 1:10:09My poor lassie!

1:10:09 > 1:10:14What does it matter who he is when ya cannae help it?

1:10:15 > 1:10:17Babbie...

1:10:17 > 1:10:21- Does the minister...?- No! Nanny, please!

1:10:21 > 1:10:24Oh, dear, oh, dear.

1:10:24 > 1:10:28That's it... He loves you too, Babbie.

1:10:28 > 1:10:31No, you'll never see me again.

1:10:33 > 1:10:35Goodbye. I'll not forget you.

1:10:35 > 1:10:38- Goodbye.- Goodbye.

1:10:42 > 1:10:46- Mr Dishart!- Mr Dishart? - He must not see me.

1:10:46 > 1:10:50Go outside and don't let him come in. Hurry!

1:10:52 > 1:10:57- Good evening, Nanny. - Why, Mr Dishart. Good evening.

1:10:57 > 1:11:03- It's time you put that up for the day? I'll help you in.- No, no, sir.

1:11:03 > 1:11:08- You'll no mind if I go on with my work for a while.- Of course not.

1:11:08 > 1:11:12I'll just sit here and rest a few minutes.

1:11:19 > 1:11:23- Nanny, what do you think has become of her?- Who?

1:11:24 > 1:11:29You mean the gypsy? Where do the flies vanish to in the winter?

1:11:29 > 1:11:35Those buddies cannae be happy in one place for long.

1:11:37 > 1:11:40But she was different.

1:11:40 > 1:11:43Aye, she was that.

1:11:43 > 1:11:46She was only a gypsy. You cannae get away from that.

1:11:49 > 1:11:51Yes, she was only a gypsy girl.

1:11:54 > 1:11:56But I'd hoped she would be my wife.

1:11:56 > 1:11:59Mr Dishart! BELLS RING

1:12:01 > 1:12:06That's my prayer meeting. Good night, Nanny.

1:12:09 > 1:12:15Oh, Lord. You cannae mean for them to bury their youth so soon.

1:12:15 > 1:12:17Look at me!

1:12:17 > 1:12:22What is anything when you're old without somebody?

1:12:27 > 1:12:29Mr Dishart!

1:12:29 > 1:12:30Yes, Nanny?

1:12:34 > 1:12:36What is it?

1:12:36 > 1:12:38Eh...

1:12:41 > 1:12:44My wheel... Would you mind?

1:12:44 > 1:12:46Of course not.

1:13:00 > 1:13:03How was he? Did he ask about...?

1:13:03 > 1:13:05Babbie!

1:13:07 > 1:13:12- No...- Why did you leave me? You cannot know what I've gone through!

1:13:12 > 1:13:19- I must tell you...- Tell me you love me first.- You won't ask that when I tell you I'm to be married tomorrow.

1:13:23 > 1:13:24Married.

1:13:26 > 1:13:28I'm to be married to Lord Rintoul.

1:13:30 > 1:13:31You...

1:13:44 > 1:13:48Can't you just say that you'll try to forgive me before I go?

1:13:51 > 1:13:53Won't you even look at me?

1:13:58 > 1:14:00Not that way.

1:14:02 > 1:14:05I meant no harm. I swear I didn't.

1:14:05 > 1:14:12I didnae even know what I was doing until it was too late and then I meant never to see you again.

1:14:12 > 1:14:15When I came into your life, I was wild and careless.

1:14:15 > 1:14:19So little heeding, I never even dreamed.

1:14:23 > 1:14:30You don't blame the birds when their song comes for a moment between you and your work.

1:14:30 > 1:14:34You smile and forgive them.

1:14:35 > 1:14:37Let it be that way with me.

1:14:41 > 1:14:43It's myself I cannot forgive.

1:14:44 > 1:14:46I have been a dull-witted fool.

1:14:47 > 1:14:54- I cannot understand why you acted so strangely - the gypsy clothes... - I have no wish to excuse myself...

1:14:55 > 1:15:02Have you ever seen gypsy carts with hammocks in which gypsy children are carried?

1:15:02 > 1:15:04That was the only cradle I've known.

1:15:04 > 1:15:09One day I suppose the road was rough for I was thrown out.

1:15:09 > 1:15:13I remember picking myself up and running after the cart.

1:15:13 > 1:15:17They didn't hear my cries or if they did, they didn't come back.

1:15:17 > 1:15:25I like to think Mother did come back but left when she saw I was in better hands.

1:15:28 > 1:15:31It was Lord Rintoul who found me.

1:15:31 > 1:15:34And so I owe everything to him.

1:15:34 > 1:15:39He took me home on his horse and paid his gardener's wife to rear me.

1:15:39 > 1:15:42Afterwards, he sent me to fine schools.

1:15:42 > 1:15:45He's lavished everything upon me.

1:15:45 > 1:15:47He has been very kind to you.

1:15:47 > 1:15:51Yes, he's been very kind to me.

1:15:51 > 1:15:52And so, I am to marry him.

1:15:55 > 1:15:57Does he love you?

1:16:00 > 1:16:02No...

1:16:02 > 1:16:04He doesn't know what love is.

1:16:06 > 1:16:09Nor did I...until...

1:16:09 > 1:16:13- You were laughing at me all the time.- Oh, no!

1:16:13 > 1:16:17At first but not afterwards.

1:16:17 > 1:16:20You never cared for me at all.

1:16:20 > 1:16:25Always... Always since I first knew what love was.

1:16:25 > 1:16:28And it was you who taught me.

1:16:28 > 1:16:32That night in the manse garden... Do you remember?

1:16:36 > 1:16:40I knew that I could never again be altogether unhappy.

1:16:40 > 1:16:44All my life I would have that to remember.

1:16:45 > 1:16:48And when I went away...

1:16:48 > 1:16:54so that I would not bring disgrace and wretchedness upon you or your mother,

1:16:54 > 1:16:57I was strong.

1:16:57 > 1:16:59Your love had made me strong.

1:17:06 > 1:17:09I'm going now.

1:17:15 > 1:17:18Don't think of me as unhappy.

1:17:19 > 1:17:24It will be happiness for me to try to be all that you thought I was.

1:17:24 > 1:17:29Your face will always come between me and ungenerous thoughts...

1:17:29 > 1:17:32Babbie... I cannot let you go.

1:17:32 > 1:17:37Don't tell me that you love me still? Oh, Gavin... Do you?

1:17:48 > 1:17:53We'll go to Lord Rintoul. He will release you when he hears of me.

1:17:53 > 1:17:58- He'll turn the town against you. He has influence.- I can defend myself.

1:17:58 > 1:18:03Nothing but duty of the highest kind could keep Mr Dishart so long.

1:18:03 > 1:18:06Aye, but, Snecky, I dinnae like it.

1:18:11 > 1:18:15- Why, Mrs McLaren!- My John's got to be at work at five in the morning.

1:18:15 > 1:18:18- We cannae wait long.- Aye, come along.

1:18:28 > 1:18:35- Did Mr Dishart have calls to make after his tea?- I don't know. He wisnae home for tea.

1:18:37 > 1:18:42- He wisnae home? I'm thinkin' there's something to the talk...- What talk?

1:18:42 > 1:18:47I've heard no talk and I'll cut the tongue out of any man who has,

1:18:47 > 1:18:53- so that he'd no repeat it!- I only heard of a man that did hear of it.

1:18:53 > 1:18:55KNOCKING

1:18:55 > 1:18:59It's Sam! He saw the minister! Come in here.

1:18:59 > 1:19:02What's he doin' here? He's no Auld Licht!

1:19:02 > 1:19:07The minister came to his place ten minutes ago to hire a carriage.

1:19:07 > 1:19:10- Carriage?- Aye.- While we're waiting!

1:19:10 > 1:19:17Where did he go? Sam cannae tell. He wouldnae let a horse out on a night like this.

1:19:17 > 1:19:21Most likely he was on some errand of mercy.

1:19:21 > 1:19:25Aye, but Sam said he had a woman with him.

1:19:25 > 1:19:32I see nothing to do but to dismiss the congregation and notify Mr Dishart the pulpit is vacant.

1:19:32 > 1:19:37He can hardly explain his actions to our satisfaction.

1:19:37 > 1:19:43- Mr Whammond, don't be hasty. Maybe it's no his fault!- Mind your place!

1:19:43 > 1:19:48- Putting yourself on an equal with the elders of this kirk!- Have mercy!

1:19:48 > 1:19:56- God himself wid gae him a second chance!- Rob Dow, what can you know of the ways of God?- That's true...

1:19:56 > 1:19:59I know little but, Mr Whammond, you know!

1:19:59 > 1:20:04Why should he be punished for what's no his fault? It's the gypsy!

1:20:04 > 1:20:07- I saw her!- With Mr Dishart?

1:20:07 > 1:20:09- Where?- No, I didnae...- Out wi' it!

1:20:09 > 1:20:14- Or as chief elder of this kirk, I say it'll be worse for him.- Um...

1:20:14 > 1:20:21- You saw them together.- He didnae have his arms round her. It was her wrapping her coils round him.

1:20:21 > 1:20:25- He had his arms around... - It was her!

1:20:25 > 1:20:28- The Egyptian woman...- Quiet!

1:20:28 > 1:20:35Hendry Munn, as Chief Elder of this kirk, I command you to go and dismiss the congregation.

1:20:51 > 1:20:59I hereby pronounce this congregation dismissed while the session prepares to do its duty.

1:21:00 > 1:21:05Jean Proctor! It's a terrible thing they're sayin' agin the minister.

1:21:05 > 1:21:09- Dae they ken the woman's name? - Leave me be!

1:21:09 > 1:21:13- You've no right to talk like that! - Easy! Remember I'm the polis!

1:21:14 > 1:21:17The impudent baggage!

1:21:17 > 1:21:22- But I'd rather go with you. Please! - Wait at the manse till I get back.

1:21:22 > 1:21:27- Doctor McQueen has offered me his carriage many times...- Mr Dishart!

1:21:27 > 1:21:31Have you not forgot your prayer meeting?

1:21:31 > 1:21:35- Prayer meeting... - Half of them's gone home.- Yes...

1:21:35 > 1:21:40- Did you have a prayer meeting?- Yes, but I'll go...- You must go at once!

1:21:40 > 1:21:44- If you think this is a storm... - Come, dear...

1:21:44 > 1:21:48Go to the church immediately for my sake. Please!

1:21:48 > 1:21:51- Wearyworld will go with you.- Aye.

1:21:51 > 1:21:55- Hurry.- You'll wait for me?- Aye. - I'll not be long.

1:21:58 > 1:22:00Och!

1:22:00 > 1:22:05It's a weary world and women are the most uncanniest things in it!

1:22:09 > 1:22:11KNOCKING

1:22:21 > 1:22:24- Mrs Dishart?- No, she's...

1:22:29 > 1:22:32What did you want?

1:22:32 > 1:22:34Who are you?

1:22:34 > 1:22:37Um... I'm a friend of Mr Dishart.

1:22:37 > 1:22:40He told me to wait for him here.

1:22:45 > 1:22:49- Where's the minister? - He's gone over to his church.

1:22:49 > 1:22:54It's true then, what they say - he was wi' you!

1:22:54 > 1:22:59- How could you let him stay away from his prayer meeting?- I didn't know.

1:22:59 > 1:23:02Do you think if I had known, I...

1:23:03 > 1:23:05I love him.

1:23:05 > 1:23:09I could near believe it from the look in your eyes and yet...

1:23:11 > 1:23:15- Have you no heard he's been put out of his church?- Oh, no...

1:23:15 > 1:23:18But he's done nothing wrong.

1:23:18 > 1:23:23- I'll go and tell them...- No, don't! They'd never listen to you!

1:23:23 > 1:23:26Who is it, Jean?

1:23:28 > 1:23:33- It's just somebody to see the minister, ma'am.- I'll be right down.

1:23:36 > 1:23:39If we could only keep it from her.

1:23:39 > 1:23:44- She'll have to know but...- Tell her never to mind. I couldnae wait.

1:23:44 > 1:23:47Good evening.

1:23:52 > 1:23:56- I'm Mrs Dishart, the minister's mother.- How do you do?

1:23:56 > 1:23:59Isn't it a dreadful night?

1:23:59 > 1:24:02Put on the kettle, Jean.

1:24:02 > 1:24:06He won't be long. His meeting is over or Jean would not be back.

1:24:06 > 1:24:09Child, you're shivering and wet.

1:24:09 > 1:24:14Come in here by the fire. Jean will be in with the tea directly.

1:24:14 > 1:24:17Oh, let me have that wet cape.

1:24:22 > 1:24:25Sit here. I'll have Jean dry this.

1:24:33 > 1:24:35Child...

1:24:35 > 1:24:38Why, you're crying!

1:24:38 > 1:24:41Now, now... Don't do that!

1:24:41 > 1:24:43Mrs Dishart...

1:24:43 > 1:24:51What if I were to tell you that you were no longer to be the mistress of this manse?

1:24:51 > 1:24:53And that it was because of me?

1:25:00 > 1:25:03You're the girl my son loves.

1:25:03 > 1:25:08Oh, I think I almost knew it in my heart when I first saw you.

1:25:10 > 1:25:14I have so wondered what you would be like.

1:25:17 > 1:25:21- Has he told you about me?- No.

1:25:22 > 1:25:27But when a young man tells his mother that if the right girl comes along,

1:25:27 > 1:25:34he will marry so that she'll have a daughter to love and care for her too,

1:25:34 > 1:25:38the mother knows that the right girl isn't so very far away.

1:25:41 > 1:25:45Gavin will tell you, my prayers have ever been for his happiness.

1:25:45 > 1:25:49In that, I will see my own.

1:26:08 > 1:26:12Good evening, Mr Whammond. The minister is no home.

1:26:12 > 1:26:15- Are you sure?- Aye, I'm sure.

1:26:15 > 1:26:18- Where is he? - He's gone to the church.

1:26:18 > 1:26:21- How do you know?- It's what he said.

1:26:21 > 1:26:24- Was anybody wi' him? - No, no, Mr Whammond.

1:26:24 > 1:26:30If he's no at the kirk, we'll be back, Jean Proctor - we'll have words wi' him this night!

1:26:35 > 1:26:39I could swear I heard somebody talking inside.

1:26:39 > 1:26:43We'll have a look through the window.

1:26:48 > 1:26:51- Who was it, Jean?- I... Oh...

1:26:51 > 1:26:54It was... It was Mr Whammond, ma'am,

1:26:54 > 1:26:58to say the minister would be late at church.

1:26:58 > 1:27:03And he came through all this rain to tell me - the chief elder.

1:27:03 > 1:27:06Why didn't you ask him in?

1:27:06 > 1:27:10- He... He seemed to be in a terrible hurry, ma'am.- That's a pity.

1:27:13 > 1:27:18- Jean!- Aye, ma'am - the blind was up a bit and I thought...

1:27:19 > 1:27:25Upstairs, on the top shelf of my wardrobe, you'll find a wee box.

1:27:25 > 1:27:28Wait, I think I'd better go.

1:27:28 > 1:27:33- No, please, it's getting late. Some other time.- It won't take a minute.

1:27:33 > 1:27:38I want you to see how light his hair used to be.

1:27:40 > 1:27:42They're oot there.

1:27:42 > 1:27:46- It's her!- It's the woman! - In our manse!

1:27:46 > 1:27:49She's terrible grand for a gypsy.

1:27:49 > 1:27:53- Did you see that dress? - I'm thinking she stole it.- Aye.

1:27:59 > 1:28:03- What'll we do? It'll kill her! - Keep her from coming down.

1:28:03 > 1:28:07- I'll get rid of them.- What can I say to her?- Anything. Hurry.

1:28:22 > 1:28:24Won't you come in?

1:28:28 > 1:28:33Jean is upstairs with Mrs Dishart so I answered the door for her.

1:28:33 > 1:28:35Please come in.

1:28:39 > 1:28:42The cheek of her!

1:28:42 > 1:28:46I'll have the fire nice and bright for you in a minute.

1:28:46 > 1:28:51There's nothing like a nice fire when you've been oot in the rain.

1:28:51 > 1:28:54Woman, what are you doing here?

1:28:54 > 1:28:59The minister was kind enough to give me shelter out of the rain.

1:28:59 > 1:29:06- He's no longer minister.- Nor does he have the right to be here. - Where is he?

1:29:06 > 1:29:12He has gone to the church to explain to you why he was not at his prayer meeting.

1:29:12 > 1:29:14We know why!

1:29:14 > 1:29:18Do you deny he had his arms around you?

1:29:21 > 1:29:24See! We know everything.

1:29:26 > 1:29:28No, you don't.

1:29:28 > 1:29:33If you did, you'd know we've done nothing to be ashamed of.

1:29:33 > 1:29:37Aye, we're well aware that you have no shame.

1:29:37 > 1:29:40But the minister...

1:29:40 > 1:29:45- Making lovers meetings stealthily by night with a...- That's not true!

1:29:45 > 1:29:49You should not need to be told that he is incapable of such a thing!

1:29:49 > 1:29:53And there's something more you ought to know!

1:29:53 > 1:29:57- I am...- Silence, woman!

1:29:57 > 1:30:03You tell an elder of the kirk for six and twenty years what he ought to know?

1:30:03 > 1:30:07- Where's Mrs Dishart? I'll have the keys.- Oh, no!

1:30:07 > 1:30:14- At least let her hear it from his own lips - it will not sound so cruel.- I must do my duty!

1:30:14 > 1:30:17- Out of my way, woman.- No!

1:30:17 > 1:30:21- Would you have be dishonoured in the sight of God?- Dishonoured?

1:30:21 > 1:30:26Because you might permit your heart to rule your stubborn mind?

1:30:26 > 1:30:32- Or refrain from destroying this woman's happiness?- She's coming!

1:30:32 > 1:30:36- I couldnae keep her longer.- Please, I'm sorry for what I've said.

1:30:36 > 1:30:39I know you must be a kind man.

1:30:39 > 1:30:43Don't tell her in the night. Tell her tomorrow.

1:30:43 > 1:30:47Give her one more happy night. I'll go away...

1:30:47 > 1:30:50She's coming.

1:30:52 > 1:30:57Oh, Mr Whammond! Did the rain drive you back?

1:30:57 > 1:30:59Put this on. It'll keep you warm.

1:30:59 > 1:31:07- You shouldn't come on a night like this to relieve my mind.- I didnae come to relieve your mind!- Mr Munn!

1:31:07 > 1:31:11And Mr Spens! I know it wasn't for me but for my son.

1:31:11 > 1:31:16But, Mr Whammond, is that going to make me think the less of you?

1:31:16 > 1:31:19Here, give me your things.

1:31:19 > 1:31:23- Na, I cannae stop. - I've something I want you to see.

1:31:23 > 1:31:26I brought it to show the young lady.

1:31:26 > 1:31:30I know you'll be interested too. Come and sit down.

1:31:30 > 1:31:32Here, Mr Whammond -

1:31:32 > 1:31:35in the minister's chair.

1:31:35 > 1:31:39It's no intended for me to sit in the minister's chair.

1:31:39 > 1:31:45The mantle of Chief Elder has been wrapped round me. I must do my duty.

1:31:45 > 1:31:51Aye, the minister's always telling me how he couldn't do his work without you.

1:31:51 > 1:31:59Mrs Dishart... Your son may be all the earth to you, but my eldership is as much to me.

1:31:59 > 1:32:03Of course! Not everybody can be a minister,

1:32:03 > 1:32:09but I know well a chief elder's work is just as worthy in the Lord's sight.

1:32:09 > 1:32:13Of course, it doesn't require the education.

1:32:14 > 1:32:16Oh, you must be cold.

1:32:16 > 1:32:21- I'll have Jean bring you some tea. - Na, na...- Thank you.

1:32:21 > 1:32:24I was wrong.

1:32:24 > 1:32:26You're a good man.

1:32:26 > 1:32:31- Silence, woman!- What came over you?- Why did you no speak out?

1:32:31 > 1:32:35Quiet! Did you no see how I struggled to bring out the words?

1:32:37 > 1:32:39Na, it's no true.

1:32:39 > 1:32:42My mouth snappit shut like a box.

1:32:44 > 1:32:47Tammas Whammond has been unfaithful.

1:32:47 > 1:32:52Six and twenty years have I been an elder of the kirk in God's service.

1:32:52 > 1:33:00And don't you think he stood closer to you the last five minutes than in all those six and twenty years?

1:33:00 > 1:33:02Hold yer peace, wumin!

1:33:02 > 1:33:06- I'll make amends.- Dinnae let her get a start this time.

1:33:06 > 1:33:11- Dinnae let her put a cup of tea in your hand.- Just say it.

1:33:11 > 1:33:13I know what to say!

1:33:13 > 1:33:15It's the saying of it.

1:33:17 > 1:33:20Mr Dishart, I cannae neglect my duty!

1:33:20 > 1:33:25- Your duty's to the minister! Unlock that door!- I will not.- A knife!

1:33:25 > 1:33:29- Open the door, Peter Tosh, before I open your neck!- Rob, don't...!

1:33:33 > 1:33:36Mr Whammond! Mr Whammond! Tammas!

1:33:36 > 1:33:41- What is it?- It's the minister. - The minister? What's happened?

1:33:41 > 1:33:46- Peter Tosh was locking up the kirk when the minister came.- What is it?

1:33:46 > 1:33:50The minister demanded that Peter open the door.

1:33:50 > 1:33:57Rob Dow, holding a knife, shouts, "Open that door or I'll open your neck!"

1:33:57 > 1:34:00- Did nobody stop him?- The minister. - He tried.

1:34:00 > 1:34:03Where is he? Where is he?

1:34:03 > 1:34:09- They have to take it slow.- Have you got the doctor?- Where's his mother?

1:34:09 > 1:34:11Here he comes.

1:34:23 > 1:34:25Put me down.

1:34:33 > 1:34:36Now then, you're here to accuse me.

1:34:36 > 1:34:40So out with it - there is no need to spare me.

1:34:41 > 1:34:48Tonight I was seen in the company of this lady when I should have been at my church.

1:34:48 > 1:34:52I may have seemed to sin against you but believe me...

1:34:52 > 1:34:56what happened is not for you or any man to judge.

1:34:58 > 1:35:01All I can say is...

1:35:01 > 1:35:04this is the woman of my choice.

1:35:04 > 1:35:06She's not what you think.

1:35:06 > 1:35:10But if she were, it would make no difference.

1:35:10 > 1:35:14If she's unworthy of your reverence, then so am I.

1:35:16 > 1:35:24We belong to each other and I am blessed more than I deserve in knowing she is mine.

1:35:24 > 1:35:28No mortal man shall part us. And now...

1:35:31 > 1:35:34- Oh... Over there.- Right.

1:35:36 > 1:35:38Gavin!

1:35:46 > 1:35:48My boy...

1:35:50 > 1:35:52Mother...

1:35:52 > 1:35:54You mustn't cry.

1:35:54 > 1:35:57I won't.

1:35:57 > 1:35:59I was frightened at first,

1:35:59 > 1:36:02but I'm not any more.

1:36:03 > 1:36:07He wouldn't let anything happen to you.

1:36:11 > 1:36:13Babbie?

1:36:19 > 1:36:21Darling...

1:36:26 > 1:36:28It's all because of me, Gavin.

1:36:29 > 1:36:32Because of you,

1:36:32 > 1:36:35life has a new meaning.

1:36:37 > 1:36:39If God takes me now,

1:36:39 > 1:36:42I shall have known love

1:36:42 > 1:36:44and great happiness.

1:36:46 > 1:36:47Yes.

1:36:49 > 1:36:51It's the doctor. >

1:36:51 > 1:36:54Let me past, please.

1:36:59 > 1:37:01Everybody out. Clear the room.

1:37:07 > 1:37:12Mrs Dishart, fetch me a bowl of very hot water.

1:37:15 > 1:37:20- You better go too.- Oh...- You'll help me most by leaving the room.

1:37:22 > 1:37:26Tell Jean to bring the hot water.

1:37:41 > 1:37:44Darling, don't die!

1:37:52 > 1:37:54Please, God...

1:37:57 > 1:37:59He's so good.

1:38:02 > 1:38:04He really deserves your help.

1:38:11 > 1:38:14The people in Thrums need him.

1:38:18 > 1:38:21And I need him too.

1:39:22 > 1:39:27Oh, please, ma'am. Please try before it gets cold again.

1:39:28 > 1:39:31I can't eat, dear.

1:39:31 > 1:39:33Can't you?

1:39:33 > 1:39:35Never mind.

1:39:38 > 1:39:41I hear the doctor stirring.

1:39:41 > 1:39:46I hope he has some good news for us this morning.

1:40:00 > 1:40:02Well...?

1:40:05 > 1:40:08You can go in now.

1:40:10 > 1:40:12Just one of you.

1:40:27 > 1:40:31- I'm so sorry. - Sorry? It's not yet too late.

1:40:31 > 1:40:36I forgive you everything. Come away. If only you had pity for yourself.
