0:07:41 > 0:07:47- Is his mother a widow, Marcus? - I think so. I don't know him well.

0:07:47 > 0:07:54MARCUS: I think that he lives in rather a small house.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59Yes, he seems to be a very nice boy. Now, is everyone here?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05MARIAN PLAYS PIANO

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Ah, Leo...good evening.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Good evening, Mrs Maudsley.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Mr Maudsley.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Let us go into dinner.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- ­ Your croquet was good today, Marian. - Was it?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Come along, Marian...Marcus.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- ­ You're formidable at croquet. - Am I?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I believe we must be wary of you, Leo.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33I understand you're a magician. Are you?

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Well, not really... only you know...

0:08:37 > 0:08:39at school...

0:08:39 > 0:08:44Anyway, it was supposed to be a secret, actually.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47MARCUS: His curses are fearful!

0:08:47 > 0:08:51He cast a fiendish spell on two boys at school.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56They fell off a roof and were severely mutilated!

0:08:56 > 0:09:02- < Did they die? - No...they were just a little... severely mutilated.

0:09:03 > 0:09:09Was it difficult to arrange? To get them to fall without dying?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13Well, it wasn't a killing curse. There are curses and curses.

0:09:13 > 0:09:20- Oh, how frightening! - You're not going to bewitch us?

0:09:20 > 0:09:22No...I shouldn't think so.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25LAUGHTER

0:09:25 > 0:09:30BABBLE OF CONVERSATION AND SINGING

0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Hello. Enjoying yourself? - Yes, sir.

0:10:22 > 0:10:27Good. Pretty warm... what does it say?

0:10:28 > 0:10:3183. Warm.

0:10:31 > 0:10:36- ..Suit a little warm, isn't it? - No, sir.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Enjoying yourself? - Yes, thank you, sir.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Good!

0:10:57 > 0:11:00And another thing...

0:11:00 > 0:11:04When you undress - you mustn't fold up your clothes -

0:11:04 > 0:11:07leave them lying wherever they fall.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09That's what the servants are for.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16You are looking hot! Haven't you anything cooler?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18I'm not hot really.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21That's a Norfolk jacket, isn't it?

0:11:21 > 0:11:26- Yes.- Well, it's quite appropriate. After all, we are in Norfolk!

0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Have we a pair of bellows, Mama?- Why?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38To cool Leo!

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Does Leo need cooling?

0:11:42 > 0:11:46I may look hot, but I'm really quite cool underneath.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Did you leave your summer clothes at home?

0:11:50 > 0:11:55I expect...Mother forgot to put them in.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Why not write and ask her to send them?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06That would take too long, Mama.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10I could get him an outfit tomorrow in Norwich.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Would you like that, Leo?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Well, I haven't any money. Only...

0:12:16 > 0:12:20They can be your birthday presents. When is it?

0:12:20 > 0:12:25It's on the 27th of this month. I was born under the sign of Leo.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29- I can give you a lion skin. - Or a mane!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Well, we'll go tomorrow.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Wouldn't you rather wait until Hugh is here?

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Norwich would hardly be a treat for Hugh, Mama.

0:12:40 > 0:12:46By then Leo will have melted into butter and need a muslin bag!

0:12:49 > 0:12:52May we go, Mama?

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Yes...of course you may.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15'You flew too near the sun...

0:13:15 > 0:13:17'and you were scorched.'

0:13:54 > 0:13:57What did your father do?

0:13:57 > 0:14:02- He worked in a bank, actually. He was a Pacifist.- Ah.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05And he was a book collector.

0:14:05 > 0:14:10He liked books very much... and so he collected them.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12That was his hobby.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Mother said they're quite valuable.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18We might have to sell them.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Here's your pudding.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33What's it like?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Very good.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Used any Black Magic lately?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Not lately, no.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45What does it feel like to have such power?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Oh, it makes you feel fairly good,

0:14:49 > 0:14:51but I only ever use it at school.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Can you teach me? I could use it here.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00- Would you really want to? - No, not really...

0:15:00 > 0:15:03The results might be too alarming.

0:15:07 > 0:15:12Can you amuse yourself in the Cathedral?

0:15:12 > 0:15:17- I have shopping to do.- Certainly. - Can you be AMUSED in a cathedral?

0:15:46 > 0:15:49'Well, it wasn't a killing curse.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52'There are curses and curses.'

0:17:42 > 0:17:47- ­ Do you feel different? - I feel quite another person.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Let me have a proper look at you.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55I think it does very well.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59And I hope that your mother will, too.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Have you written to her, Leo? - Yes.- Good.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Did you do any shopping yourself, Marian?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09No, Mama. That can wait.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12It mustn't wait too long.

0:18:12 > 0:18:19- You didn't see anyone in Norwich? - Not a soul. We were hard at it all the time.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Yes, we were.

0:18:23 > 0:18:29'I believe that you are liable to colds. But you may watch, of course.'

0:18:29 > 0:18:36- MARCUS: 'Why bring your bathing suit?' - 'It is a bathing party.'

0:18:36 > 0:18:40- 'But you're not going to swim.' - 'I know.'

0:18:40 > 0:18:42'In that case, why?'

0:18:52 > 0:18:56What cheek! He's trespassing!

0:18:56 > 0:18:59What shall we do? Order him off!

0:18:59 > 0:19:02What cheek!

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Who can he be?- I don't know.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11He's a good swimmer and really rather well-built...don't you think?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Come on, Kate. Let's go and change.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Shall we order him off?

0:19:23 > 0:19:27- It's Ted Burgess! - Who's he?

0:19:27 > 0:19:32The tenant of Black Farm. He farms the land on the other side.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36- You'd better be nice. - I shall ask how he is.

0:19:36 > 0:19:42We don't know him socially, but I'd better be nice to him.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43Yes.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I didn't know anyone would be here.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Just started on the harvest...it's hot.

0:19:50 > 0:19:55Don't worry. We were hot too...up at the Hall.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00I won't be long. Just one more header.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Absolutely!

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I think I put him at ease, don't you?

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Why undress if you're not swimming?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23It will look absurd!

0:20:33 > 0:20:39LAUGHTER I'll get you for that! >

0:20:46 > 0:20:49No...!

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Aaah... - Revenge!

0:21:07 > 0:21:11My hair's come down... it's all wet!

0:21:17 > 0:21:19I'll never get it dry.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24You look so dry and smug, I should throw you in(!)

0:21:24 > 0:21:28- ..That man gone? - Yes. He went off in a hurry.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33- His name is Ted Burgess. Do you know him?- We may have met.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39'Ohh...it's dripping on my dress.'

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Here's my bathing-suit...

0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's quite dry.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48If you fasten it round your neck - so that it hangs down -

0:21:48 > 0:21:51you can spread your hair on it.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Your hair will dry and your dress won't get wet.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Spread my hair on it...

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Take care not to pull it. O-hh...!

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Is it well spread?

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Is it dry?

0:22:22 > 0:22:28What a comfort...your bathing-suit on my shoulders.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Is my hair well spread?

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Oh, yes, it is.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28"See then that ye walk circumspectly,

0:23:28 > 0:23:34"not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming time, because of evil days.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38"Wherefore be ye not unwise,

0:23:38 > 0:23:42"but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess.

0:23:46 > 0:23:52"Be filled with the Spirit, speaking in psalms...

0:23:52 > 0:23:57"singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01"Giving thanks always for all things."

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Let us pray.

0:24:10 > 0:24:16Keep us, we beseech thee, O Lord, with thy perpetual mercy.

0:24:16 > 0:24:21< And because the frailty of man, without Thee, cannot but fall

0:24:21 > 0:24:25< keep us ever from all things hurtful.

0:24:25 > 0:24:30< Lead us to our salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34TOGETHER: Amen.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Kipper? - More sugar?

0:24:45 > 0:24:50Now everybody, let us decide what we are to do today. Hugh...

0:24:50 > 0:24:52come and sit down.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Advise us...

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Now, what do you suggest?

0:25:19 > 0:25:24- What's up?- Decent of you to ask, but don't come in.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29- I have a headache and spots. It may be measles.- Hard cheese!

0:25:29 > 0:25:33- See Trimingham? - The man with the face?

0:25:33 > 0:25:38Yes. Got it in the war. He was gored by the Boers!

0:27:32 > 0:27:36Call me Hugh if you like. Or Trimingham, if you prefer.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Why not Mr Trimingham?

0:27:38 > 0:27:43I think Trimingham is more in order, if you prefer it to Hugh.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46But why not Mr Trimingham?

0:27:46 > 0:27:51- Well, as a matter of fact, I'm a Viscount.- Viscount?- Yes.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51Can I trust you?

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Of course you can.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02There's a boy, isn't there...?

0:36:02 > 0:36:05A lad of your age?

0:36:05 > 0:36:08- He's in bed with measles. - Oh, is he?

0:36:08 > 0:36:13Are you...ever alone with anybody - in the house?

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Well...nobody talks to me much.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20They're all grown-up, you see. Except Marcus...

0:36:20 > 0:36:23And he's in bed.

0:36:23 > 0:36:27Oh, Marian talks to me... Miss Marian.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Oh, does she?

0:36:34 > 0:36:37She often does.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40She talks to me most.

0:36:40 > 0:36:45- When her hair was wet... - Are you ever alone with her?

0:36:45 > 0:36:50I mean just the two of you - in a room - with no-one else?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Well, sometimes...

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Sometimes we sit together on a sofa.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58On a sofa...?

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Could you give her a letter?

0:37:02 > 0:37:06Without anybody else seein'?

0:37:09 > 0:37:12Of course I could!

0:37:12 > 0:37:15But can I trust you...

0:37:15 > 0:37:18to keep your mouth shut?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23Because you see...it's a secret.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30All right...

0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Is this his?- Yes.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33He said he wouldn't want it back.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Shall I throw it on the rubbish-dump?

0:38:36 > 0:38:41Oh, I don't know. Perhaps I'll wash it out.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43It's quite a good handkerchief.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Oh...he asked me to give you this.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57- It's a bit crumpled. - DOOR CLOSING NEARBY

0:39:01 > 0:39:04These dresses...!

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Now...the bandage.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13- You've put it on!- Oh...yes.

0:39:13 > 0:39:18- Now, I'll put on your stocking. - I...I can do that.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21No, no. I'll put it on.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27You won't tell anyone about this letter, will you?

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Will you?

0:39:31 > 0:39:34Of course I won't!

0:39:38 > 0:39:40There!

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Shall you be going to Goodwood? >

0:39:44 > 0:39:48I thought I'd see Lady Mary. >

0:39:48 > 0:39:52CHATTER CONTINUES I think I shall go. >

0:39:52 > 0:39:57Shall you? > Yes...I think so. >

0:39:57 > 0:40:01Are you referring to Augustine Thomas?

0:40:01 > 0:40:04Hello, there's Mercury.

0:40:04 > 0:40:09- Why do you call him Mercury? - Because he takes messages.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12You took a message for me, didn't you?

0:40:12 > 0:40:17To this young lady here. Didn't fetch a very warm response.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Do you know who Mercury was?

0:40:20 > 0:40:25Mercury is the smallest of the planets.

0:40:25 > 0:40:30Ah, but before that he was the messenger of the Gods.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33He went to and fro between them.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43BABBLE OF VOICES

0:41:14 > 0:41:16Do you know Ted Burgess?

0:41:16 > 0:41:22Ted Burgess? We ALL know Ted. He's a bit of lad, Ted Burgess.

0:41:22 > 0:41:27What do you mean by "a lad"? I should have said he was a man!

0:42:13 > 0:42:17- Enjoying yourself? - Oh, yes, thank you, sir.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Miss your mother?

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Yes, sir...I mean, no, sir.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25A little, sir.

0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Pretty hot today.- Is it a record?

0:42:29 > 0:42:33I shouldn't be surprised. I'll have to look it up.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Hot weather suit you?- Yes, sir.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45GEESE CALL

0:42:49 > 0:42:53< HI...MERCURY...!

0:42:53 > 0:42:56Come here! I want you.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07Trying to sneak past in dead ground?

0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Where were you off to?- Nowhere.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14Ah, nowhere. Would you like to go somewhere?

0:43:14 > 0:43:18- Well, yes. Where? - It's up to you.- Oh.

0:43:20 > 0:43:25I want you to find Marian. We need her to make a four at croquet.

0:43:25 > 0:43:29- Can you find her?- I don't know.

0:43:29 > 0:43:34- No-one else can. But YOU can. Will you?- Yes.

0:43:37 > 0:43:41You must bring her back, dead or alive!

0:44:03 > 0:44:06RUSTLING IN UNDERGROWTH

0:44:08 > 0:44:11What are YOU doing here?

0:44:11 > 0:44:13- Hugh asked me to find you.- Why?

0:44:13 > 0:44:16He wants you to play croquet.

0:44:16 > 0:44:19He said to bring you dead or alive.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Well, which am I?

0:44:23 > 0:44:27We're going to luncheon with some neighbours tomorrow.

0:44:27 > 0:44:31- I don't suppose you want to come. - No, I can stay here.

0:44:31 > 0:44:35- What will you do?- Oh...anything.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Yes, but what?

0:44:37 > 0:44:40I might go for a walk.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42Where to?

0:44:42 > 0:44:46- I might slide down the straw-stack. - Oh, whose?

0:44:46 > 0:44:49- Farmer Burgess.- Oh, his!

0:44:49 > 0:44:54Well, if you go that way perhaps you'd give him a letter.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57I was hoping you'd say that.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59- Why? Because you like him?- Yes.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03- But there's another reason.- What?

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Because I like you.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16Hello.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30Tell 'er that's all right.

0:45:44 > 0:45:46GUNSHOT

0:45:51 > 0:45:54Look what you've done.

0:46:00 > 0:46:04HE SIGHS Tell 'er that's no go.

0:46:11 > 0:46:15Enter boldly. My disease has fled!

0:46:15 > 0:46:17You don't look better.

0:46:17 > 0:46:21I am. I shall be down later.

0:46:21 > 0:46:23You can bore me with your stories.

0:47:03 > 0:47:06- Marcus is bet... - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:47:06 > 0:47:11Ah! A conspiracy. A love scene!

0:47:12 > 0:47:16May I seize you from this fortunate fellow?

0:47:16 > 0:47:19Is "seize" an appropriate word?

0:47:19 > 0:47:23Gather, then. May I gather you from this fortunate fellow?

0:47:23 > 0:47:26- Do you mind if I'm "gathered", Leo?- Oh, no...

0:47:26 > 0:47:29Not at all.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01Hello.

0:50:01 > 0:50:05How's the Postman?

0:50:05 > 0:50:07Very well, thank you.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10Brought anythin' for me?

0:50:37 > 0:50:42I'm afraid I shan't be able to bring you any more letters.

0:50:42 > 0:50:46- Why not?- Well, Marcus has got over his measles.

0:50:46 > 0:50:49You said he wasn't to know.

0:50:49 > 0:50:53If he came here with me, then he would know.

0:50:57 > 0:51:00- 'Ave you told Miss Marian that? - No.

0:51:00 > 0:51:04She won't know what to do.

0:51:04 > 0:51:06Nor shall I.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09What did you do before I came?

0:51:09 > 0:51:13Well...it wasn't so easy then.

0:51:34 > 0:51:37She likes you, don't she?

0:51:37 > 0:51:39You want her to like you, don't you?

0:51:39 > 0:51:44You wouldn't want 'er to stop liking you...

0:51:44 > 0:51:46No, you wouldn't.

0:51:48 > 0:51:53She won't be the same to you, if you don't take 'er letters.

0:51:53 > 0:51:55That's the truth.

0:51:57 > 0:52:00They're not just ordinary letters.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03She'll miss them...

0:52:04 > 0:52:07So shall I.

0:52:11 > 0:52:13She'll cry p'raps.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16Do you want 'er to cry?

0:52:16 > 0:52:19That's not hard to make 'er cry.

0:52:21 > 0:52:25She used to cry before you come along.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Did you make her cry?

0:52:30 > 0:52:33She cried when... she couldn't see me.

0:52:33 > 0:52:36How do you know?

0:52:43 > 0:52:47Because she cried when she did see me.

0:52:57 > 0:53:01I've been busy... Smiler's going to have a foal.

0:53:01 > 0:53:04She's ill.

0:53:04 > 0:53:08Why does she have it then, if it makes her ill?

0:53:08 > 0:53:10She hadn't much choice.

0:53:13 > 0:53:15What made her have one?

0:53:18 > 0:53:20What?

0:53:20 > 0:53:22What made her have one?

0:53:24 > 0:53:27Hah...between you and me...

0:53:27 > 0:53:30she did...a bit of spoonin'.

0:53:30 > 0:53:34Spooning?! I didn't know horses could spoon?

0:53:34 > 0:53:37That's a silly word really.

0:53:37 > 0:53:39What does it mean?

0:53:39 > 0:53:42You seem to know something about it.

0:53:42 > 0:53:47I don't know anything about it. That's the point.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51It's all this kissing, isn't it? That's what it is.

0:53:51 > 0:53:56I've seen it on postcards at the seaside.

0:53:56 > 0:54:02- You can't tell me horses do that! - No. Horses don't...do that.

0:54:02 > 0:54:06Well, what do they do? What does anyone do?

0:54:06 > 0:54:10There's more to it than kissing. But what?

0:54:10 > 0:54:12You'll find out.

0:54:18 > 0:54:23Could you marry someone without ever spooning with them?

0:54:23 > 0:54:27Spooning's a silly word.

0:54:27 > 0:54:31Well, whatever the word is, could you marry someone...

0:54:31 > 0:54:34and never do - whatever it is?

0:54:34 > 0:54:37You could.

0:54:37 > 0:54:41But it wouldn't be a very lover-like thing to do.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44- "Lov...?"- That's enough questions.

0:54:44 > 0:54:48- But you haven't told me anything! - Let's make a bargain.

0:54:48 > 0:54:55I'll tell you all about it on the condition that you go on being our postman.

0:54:55 > 0:54:58Why shouldn't I wear my cap?

0:54:58 > 0:55:00Because it's a school cap.

0:55:00 > 0:55:05If it were an England cap, or a County cap you could wear it.

0:55:05 > 0:55:10But to wear a school cap at a private match isn't done.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12Stomach-pump!

0:55:20 > 0:55:22- Yoo-hoo!- Hoi!

0:55:36 > 0:55:40Mr Quick...Mr Burgess. How do you do?

0:55:40 > 0:55:44This is our twelfth man, Mr Colston.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46Mr Payne...Mr Burgess.

0:55:46 > 0:55:50We know each other - Master Colston and me.

0:55:50 > 0:55:54He comes to slide down my straw-stack.

0:55:54 > 0:55:55Of course!

0:55:55 > 0:55:57Are you a good batsman?

0:55:57 > 0:56:01Oh, no. I'm not much of a cricketer really.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04He's very dangerous, Leo.

0:56:04 > 0:56:07I just hit 'em.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10We're going to get you out anyway!

0:56:13 > 0:56:16- I ain't seen 'im for years. - Yeah?

0:56:22 > 0:56:26He's won the toss... we're batting.

0:56:26 > 0:56:28- Good luck.- Thanks, Leo.

0:56:39 > 0:56:42Such command and elegance!

0:58:12 > 0:58:15No!

0:58:24 > 0:58:27Why doesn't he run?

0:58:27 > 0:58:32He wants to save Father's strength, which is quite unnecessary.

0:58:32 > 0:58:36- No! - Come on...!

0:58:37 > 0:58:40OUT!

0:58:44 > 0:58:47NOISY HUBBUB

0:58:54 > 0:58:57Beautifully played! Thank you.

0:58:57 > 0:59:01Now...what about you?

0:59:01 > 0:59:03Oh, I shan't give you much trouble.

0:59:06 > 0:59:10We've got to get Burgess out. Trimingham's cunning.

0:59:10 > 0:59:13Burgess has no culture or discipline.

1:00:45 > 1:00:52- We got a head in front? - Yeah, that's right.

1:01:06 > 1:01:11CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS

1:01:15 > 1:01:18MAG-NIFICENT catch!

1:01:25 > 1:01:29- I didn't mean to catch you out. - Damned good catch!

1:01:29 > 1:01:33Fancy bein' caught out by our postman!

1:06:56 > 1:07:01Well, thank goodness we've said goodbye to the village for a year.

1:07:01 > 1:07:06- Did you notice the stink in there? - No.- What a whiff!

1:07:06 > 1:07:11You were too busy rolling your eyes and sucking up the applause...

1:07:11 > 1:07:16Still, toadstool, I must admit you didn't do TOO badly(!)

1:07:16 > 1:07:19Oh, thank you.

1:07:32 > 1:07:36- What?- Marian's engaged to marry Trimingham.

1:07:36 > 1:07:40It'll be announced after the Ball. Are you glad?

1:07:43 > 1:07:46Yes, I am.

1:08:59 > 1:09:03Nanny Robson isn't well, she lives in the village.

1:09:03 > 1:09:07Marian says I have to visit this afternoon.

1:09:07 > 1:09:09Isn't it boring?!

1:10:09 > 1:10:12What's Hugh to do with it?

1:10:12 > 1:10:15He might be upset.

1:10:15 > 1:10:17WHAT has Hugh got to do with it?

1:10:17 > 1:10:21It's business between Mr Burgess and me.

1:10:21 > 1:10:25It has nothing to do with anyone else! Understand?

1:10:25 > 1:10:30- You and Hugh...- WHAT are you talking about? You come in here...

1:10:30 > 1:10:35our guest... a poor nothing out of nowhere!

1:10:35 > 1:10:37We know nothing about you...

1:10:37 > 1:10:42we feed you, clothe you, make a great fuss of you...

1:10:42 > 1:10:47Then you have the damned cheek to say you won't do a simple thing

1:10:47 > 1:10:49any ragamuffin would do for nothing!

1:10:49 > 1:10:53NOTHING!

1:10:53 > 1:10:55You want paying, I suppose?

1:10:55 > 1:10:58I see...how much do you want?

1:12:01 > 1:12:04Hello...it's the Postman.

1:12:04 > 1:12:07How are you?

1:12:09 > 1:12:12..You've been cryin'.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15What's the matter?

1:12:21 > 1:12:23Here...

1:12:26 > 1:12:29Do you want to 'ave a go with my gun?

1:12:29 > 1:12:34I was just goin' to clean it, but I can do that afterwards.

1:12:37 > 1:12:39Come and watch me, then.

1:12:39 > 1:12:44Some rooks round 'ere could do with a peppering.

1:13:16 > 1:13:20Looks as though you been sleepin' on it!

1:13:42 > 1:13:45You'd like some tea, wouldn't you?

1:13:49 > 1:13:52I'm on me own today.

1:13:57 > 1:14:01My daily woman doesn't come on Sundays.

1:14:01 > 1:14:04Oh, do you have a woman every day?

1:14:06 > 1:14:08No.

1:14:12 > 1:14:16I told you. She doesn't come on Sundays.

1:14:23 > 1:14:26Have you any message for her?

1:14:26 > 1:14:29- Who?- Marian.

1:14:30 > 1:14:33I might have.

1:14:35 > 1:14:38Do you want to take it?

1:14:38 > 1:14:40Not very much.

1:14:40 > 1:14:43But she'll be angry if I don't.

1:14:48 > 1:14:51So, it was her?

1:14:54 > 1:14:58It's not fair to ask you to do it for nothin'...

1:14:58 > 1:15:02What could I do to make it worth your while?

1:15:05 > 1:15:10Last time I was here... you said you'd tell me something.

1:15:12 > 1:15:15- Oh, did I?- Yes.

1:15:15 > 1:15:19You said you'd tell me about... spooning.

1:15:19 > 1:15:21Hm!

1:15:21 > 1:15:24I don't know any other word...

1:15:24 > 1:15:26Is there another word?

1:15:26 > 1:15:30You said you'd tell me.

1:15:32 > 1:15:34Yes...

1:15:34 > 1:15:38- but now I'm not sure that I shall. - Why not?

1:15:38 > 1:15:41It's a job for your dad really.

1:15:41 > 1:15:46- My father's dead...but I'm sure he never did it.- Oh, are you?

1:15:46 > 1:15:49You can't break your promise.

1:15:49 > 1:15:53It's puttin' your arm round a girl and kissing her,

1:15:53 > 1:15:55that's what it means.

1:15:55 > 1:16:00I know that...but it's something else. It makes you feel something.

1:16:02 > 1:16:05What do you like doin' best?

1:16:05 > 1:16:07The kettle's boilin'...

1:16:10 > 1:16:14It's like whatever you like doin' best...

1:16:14 > 1:16:17and then some more.

1:16:17 > 1:16:20But WHAT more? What is "lover-like"?

1:16:20 > 1:16:24What does it mean? What is a lover? What does a lover do?

1:16:24 > 1:16:27Are you a lover? What do you do?

1:16:27 > 1:16:31You know. I know YOU know!

1:16:31 > 1:16:35I won't take messages unless you tell me...

1:16:35 > 1:16:38GET OUT!

1:16:38 > 1:16:39HOI!

1:16:56 > 1:16:59"Dear Mother,

1:16:59 > 1:17:02"I am sorry to tell you...

1:17:02 > 1:17:07"I am not enjoying myself here.

1:17:09 > 1:17:11"I would like to come home."

1:17:23 > 1:17:27FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

1:17:59 > 1:18:01Hello.

1:18:01 > 1:18:03Come in.

1:18:07 > 1:18:10- Never been in here before?- No.

1:18:10 > 1:18:12Sit down.

1:18:28 > 1:18:30Cigar?

1:18:32 > 1:18:34No, thank you.

1:18:48 > 1:18:51- Can I ask you something?- You can.

1:18:51 > 1:18:55I've been reading a book...

1:18:55 > 1:19:00and in this book, two men fought a duel over a quarrel

1:19:00 > 1:19:03- about one of the men's wife.- Hm?

1:19:03 > 1:19:07And then...in this duel,

1:19:07 > 1:19:09the wife's husband...

1:19:09 > 1:19:14the husband was shot.

1:19:14 > 1:19:17Mmm?

1:19:19 > 1:19:22What's your question?

1:19:22 > 1:19:24Well, I thought...

1:19:24 > 1:19:29when I read it, that it was probably the lady's fault,

1:19:29 > 1:19:32but SHE didn't have to fight the duel.

1:19:32 > 1:19:36And I just thought that it was a little unfair.

1:19:38 > 1:19:43NOTHING is ever a lady's fault.

1:19:44 > 1:19:46Oh!

1:19:53 > 1:19:56Does that answer your question?

1:19:56 > 1:19:58Yes.

1:20:05 > 1:20:08Any other questions?

1:20:11 > 1:20:15What do you think of Ted Burgess?

1:20:20 > 1:20:23What do I think of Ted Burgess?

1:20:32 > 1:20:35He's a powerful hitter...

1:20:35 > 1:20:38but you had the measure of him.

1:20:38 > 1:20:42You defeated him, didn't you?

1:20:45 > 1:20:48Ted is quite a decent fellow -

1:20:48 > 1:20:49a bit wild.

1:20:49 > 1:20:53"Wild"? Do you mean he's dangerous?

1:20:53 > 1:20:56He's not dangerous to you or to me...

1:20:56 > 1:20:59he's a bit of lady-killer, that's all.

1:20:59 > 1:21:02- "Lady-killer"? - DOOR OPENS

1:21:02 > 1:21:05Sit down... please sit down.

1:21:05 > 1:21:08Ah, a new recruit to the smoking-room.

1:21:08 > 1:21:13Have you been showing him the pictures?

1:21:13 > 1:21:17Have you looked at the pictures?

1:21:24 > 1:21:27He doesn't like them!

1:21:35 > 1:21:40We were talking about Ted Burgess when you came in.

1:21:40 > 1:21:41I told Leo...

1:21:41 > 1:21:44that he was a lady-killer.

1:21:44 > 1:21:47He has that reputation, I believe.

1:21:47 > 1:21:49I've talked to him about the Army.

1:21:49 > 1:21:53A likely man...single... no ties.

1:21:53 > 1:21:56And a pretty good shot I'm told.

1:21:56 > 1:21:59He has THAT reputation, too.

1:22:01 > 1:22:04Do you think he'll go?

1:22:08 > 1:22:11He may... He was quite interested.

1:22:11 > 1:22:18MR MAUDSLEY: He won't altogether be a loss to the district.

1:22:18 > 1:22:22Why? What you were just saying...

1:22:27 > 1:22:31They say he's got a woman up this way.

1:22:31 > 1:22:34I know.

1:22:38 > 1:22:40But she doesn't come on Sundays.

1:23:43 > 1:23:46Walk on...walk on.

1:23:46 > 1:23:48I didn't think you'd come again.

1:23:59 > 1:24:02I'm sorry I shouted at you...

1:24:02 > 1:24:05I didn't mean to.

1:24:05 > 1:24:08I just didn't feel like tellin' you

1:24:08 > 1:24:11what you wanted to know, that's all.

1:24:13 > 1:24:16But I'll tell you now, if you like.

1:24:16 > 1:24:19Do you want me to tell you?

1:24:19 > 1:24:23Because I'll tell you now. If you want me to.

1:24:23 > 1:24:27No, no...I wouldn't dream of troubling you.

1:24:27 > 1:24:30I know someone who'll tell me.

1:24:30 > 1:24:34As a matter of fact, I know several people who could.

1:24:37 > 1:24:39As long as they don't tell you wrong.

1:24:39 > 1:24:43How could they? It's common knowledge, isn't it?

1:24:45 > 1:24:49What you doin' with your bathing-suit?

1:24:49 > 1:24:52I said you were teaching me to swim.

1:24:52 > 1:24:55I've come to say goodbye, you see.

1:24:55 > 1:24:58Oh, you're off, are you?

1:24:58 > 1:25:02I'm expecting to hear from my mother by Friday at least.

1:25:02 > 1:25:05I think I really should go.

1:25:05 > 1:25:07She does miss me, you know.

1:25:07 > 1:25:10I'm sure she do.

1:25:10 > 1:25:14Is it true you're going to the war?

1:25:14 > 1:25:17Who told you that?

1:25:17 > 1:25:19Lord Trimingham.

1:25:19 > 1:25:23Did you know Marian was engaged to him?

1:25:25 > 1:25:27Yes, I did.

1:25:27 > 1:25:30Is that why you're going?

1:25:31 > 1:25:35I don't know that I am goin'...

1:25:35 > 1:25:38That's for her to say.

1:25:40 > 1:25:43- It's not what- I- want...

1:25:43 > 1:25:45It's what she wants.

1:25:50 > 1:25:53Well, goodbye...

1:25:53 > 1:25:56So long - Postman.

1:25:56 > 1:25:58Goodbye, Ted.

1:26:05 > 1:26:08Shall I take one more message?

1:26:10 > 1:26:12Yes...

1:26:12 > 1:26:15Tell 'er tomorrow's no good,

1:26:15 > 1:26:19but...er...Friday - half past five - same as usual.

1:26:40 > 1:26:44RECALLS TED SHOOTING ROOKS

1:26:45 > 1:26:47'So, you met my grandson?'

1:26:47 > 1:26:52- 'Yes, I did.' - 'Does he remind you of anyone?'

1:26:52 > 1:26:54'Of course...

1:26:54 > 1:26:56'Ted Burgess.'

1:26:56 > 1:27:00'That's it...that's it. He does.'

1:27:10 > 1:27:12Why don't you marry Ted?

1:27:12 > 1:27:15I can't.

1:27:16 > 1:27:19I can't. Can't you see why?

1:27:21 > 1:27:24Why are you marrying Hugh?

1:27:24 > 1:27:27Because I must.

1:27:27 > 1:27:29I must...I've got to.

1:27:55 > 1:28:00- What about these mysterious out-houses?- Good idea.

1:28:00 > 1:28:05Not that there's anything worth seeing when we're there.

1:28:06 > 1:28:11- There's the Deadly Nightshade. - La Belladonna.- Atropa Belladonna.

1:28:11 > 1:28:16I don't mean that at all, I mean Deadly Nightshade.

1:28:19 > 1:28:22- Mama's ill in bed.- Why?

1:28:22 > 1:28:25I don't know.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27What do you think of my mother?

1:28:29 > 1:28:33I think she has a lot to look after...

1:28:33 > 1:28:37with the house and everything, and organising the Ball.

1:28:37 > 1:28:41She has...yes. She undoubtedly has!

1:28:52 > 1:28:56My sister is VERY beautiful, isn't she?

1:28:56 > 1:28:58Yes, she is very beautiful.

1:28:58 > 1:29:02- She's going to London tomorrow. - What for?

1:29:07 > 1:29:12To buy a dress for the Ball... the engagement Ball, you oaf.

1:29:12 > 1:29:17- And then to get something for you. - What do you mean?

1:29:17 > 1:29:20A birthday present, frog-spawn!

1:29:23 > 1:29:27Now, shall I tell you what it is...

1:29:27 > 1:29:30or shall I not?

1:29:32 > 1:29:35Do you know what it is?

1:29:35 > 1:29:39Yes, but I don't tell little boys!

1:29:42 > 1:29:45- Well, swear you won't tell anyone. - I swear.

1:29:47 > 1:29:50- It's a bicycle.- What?!

1:29:50 > 1:29:53And do you know what colour it is?

1:29:53 > 1:29:56It's green...green, you imbecile! Bright green.

1:29:56 > 1:30:00D'you know why? Because you're green yourself.

1:30:00 > 1:30:03Your true colour...Marian said so.

1:30:03 > 1:30:05Green...green...green!

1:30:08 > 1:30:11- Did she say that?- But, of course!

1:30:11 > 1:30:13Green...green...green!

1:30:13 > 1:30:17- Do you know where Marian is at this moment?- No.

1:30:17 > 1:30:21- Do you?- Yes.- Where?

1:30:21 > 1:30:24"I don't tell little boys..."

1:30:24 > 1:30:28Little boy...little boy, wouldn't you like to know?

1:30:29 > 1:30:31Pax!

1:30:37 > 1:30:40- Do you really know where she is? - Ah-ha!

1:30:51 > 1:30:55"Dear Leo, it would be ungrateful to Mrs Maudsley

1:30:55 > 1:31:00"after all her kindness to you, if you were to leave suddenly.

1:31:00 > 1:31:05"The ten days will soon pass, my darling, then you'll be home.

1:34:03 > 1:34:08- Lucky thing! Who gave it to you? - Mr Maudsley.

1:34:08 > 1:34:10And now...

1:34:10 > 1:34:13today is Leo's day.

1:34:13 > 1:34:16You've opened your presents,

1:34:16 > 1:34:19at seven o'clock you'll cut your birthday cake

1:34:19 > 1:34:23and receive a rather special present - so, I believe.

1:34:23 > 1:34:28Now, how would you like to spend the day?

1:34:29 > 1:34:32Unfortunately, the weather has changed,

1:34:32 > 1:34:38but if it clears, perhaps we could go for a drive to Beeston Castle.

1:34:38 > 1:34:42- That would be very nice. - We shall do that...if it clears.

1:34:42 > 1:34:48- We shall decide at luncheon.- What if the weather doesn't clear?

1:34:48 > 1:34:53Then we shall have to think again. We will make our decision at lunch.

1:34:53 > 1:34:58- Hugh?- Quite a fair plan, I should say.

1:34:58 > 1:35:00But it may not clear!

1:35:00 > 1:35:03HUGH: I think it will.

1:35:03 > 1:35:07The rain seems to have stopped now.

1:35:07 > 1:35:10'It seems that all will be well for Leo's birthday.'

1:35:29 > 1:35:34Hello, Leo. Come and tell me what the weather means to do.

1:35:34 > 1:35:37Do you think the summer's over?

1:35:37 > 1:35:41It's one of the hottest summers on record, you know.

1:35:41 > 1:35:46- Of course it isn't over... Would you like to walk?- Oh, yes.

1:35:46 > 1:35:50- Where shall we walk? - I can't, I'm afraid...

1:35:50 > 1:35:53You see, it's this kind of walk...

1:35:53 > 1:35:56- Oh, no...!- Oh, yes.

1:36:01 > 1:36:04MARIAN LAUGHS

1:36:19 > 1:36:22Marian...! Leo...!

1:36:22 > 1:36:26What were you fighting about?

1:36:26 > 1:36:29Oh, I was just teaching him a lesson.

1:36:34 > 1:36:37Was that the bone of contention?

1:36:43 > 1:36:45Yes, it's for Nanny Robson...

1:36:45 > 1:36:48I wanted him to take a message.

1:36:48 > 1:36:51I'm going to see her this afternoon sometime.

1:36:51 > 1:36:54But Leo didn't want to,

1:36:54 > 1:36:57pretended he had something to do.

1:36:57 > 1:37:00- But I...- Yes, you did! - Don't let it worry you...

1:37:00 > 1:37:04she often doesn't remember you have been.

1:37:04 > 1:37:07She is growing old, poor Nanny Robson.

1:37:07 > 1:37:11It's time that Leo and I took a walk in the garden.

1:37:11 > 1:37:15Come on...I don't think you've seen the garden properly.

1:37:15 > 1:37:19- You can spare Leo now, can't you, Marian?- Oh, yes.

1:37:19 > 1:37:22- Would you like Marcus to come? - Oh, no...

1:37:22 > 1:37:28- Marcus isn't interested in flowers, but you are, aren't you?- Yes, I am.

1:37:41 > 1:37:44Well, now, here's the garden.

1:37:48 > 1:37:51Well, the rain has certainly stopped.

1:37:51 > 1:37:56- What kind of flowers truly interest you?- Poisonous ones, really.

1:37:56 > 1:38:00I don't think you'll find many of those.

1:38:02 > 1:38:06- Oh, there is one in the out... - In the what?

1:38:06 > 1:38:11- Well, I've seen... - WHAT have you seen, Leo?

1:38:11 > 1:38:16Well...there is a Deadly Nightshade in one of the out-houses.

1:38:16 > 1:38:21Oh - you mean where the old garden used to be?

1:38:21 > 1:38:25- Yes. Somewhere there. - Do you often go to the out-houses?

1:38:25 > 1:38:28Oh, no...not often.

1:38:28 > 1:38:31These always remind me of Marian.

1:38:31 > 1:38:36How sweet of you to say you'll take her note to Nanny Robson.

1:38:36 > 1:38:40Does she often send you with notes?

1:38:40 > 1:38:42Oh, no. Just once or twice.

1:38:42 > 1:38:47It rather worries me that I stopped you going just now.

1:38:47 > 1:38:50Perhaps you'd like to go?

1:38:50 > 1:38:54- You know the way, don't you? - Well, not quite...

1:38:54 > 1:38:56but I can ask.

1:38:56 > 1:39:01You don't know the way? I thought you'd taken notes before.

1:39:01 > 1:39:03Yes...

1:39:03 > 1:39:07Well, yes, I have.

1:39:07 > 1:39:09But you don't know the way?

1:39:13 > 1:39:18I think perhaps the note should be delivered...You have it, don't you?

1:39:18 > 1:39:22I'll call the gardener and ask him to take it.

1:39:22 > 1:39:27Oh, no, really. It's...it's not important. Please, don't bother.

1:39:27 > 1:39:31It is important in a way, you see.

1:39:31 > 1:39:34- STANTON!- Yes, ma'am?

1:39:34 > 1:39:36Would you come here a minute?

1:39:38 > 1:39:43We have a note here for Miss Robson...rather urgent.

1:39:43 > 1:39:46- Would you mind taking it? - Yes, ma'am.

1:39:47 > 1:39:51I-I've...lost it. I haven't got it...

1:39:51 > 1:39:53It must have fallen out...

1:39:53 > 1:39:56Feel again!

1:40:00 > 1:40:03Oh, I must have dropped it.

1:40:03 > 1:40:06Very well, Stanton.

1:40:10 > 1:40:13Take your hands from your pockets!

1:40:13 > 1:40:18Has no-one told you not to stand with your hands in your pockets?

1:40:20 > 1:40:23I could ask you to turn your pockets out...

1:40:23 > 1:40:26but I won't do that.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30I'll just ask you one question.

1:40:33 > 1:40:38You say you've taken messages for Marian before?

1:40:38 > 1:40:42- Well, I...- I think you said so.

1:40:42 > 1:40:46If you don't take them to Nanny Robson...

1:40:46 > 1:40:49'to whom DO you take them?'

1:41:04 > 1:41:06'So you met my grandson?'

1:41:06 > 1:41:10- 'Yes, I did.' - 'Does he remind you of anyone?'

1:41:10 > 1:41:14'Of course...Ted Burgess.'

1:41:14 > 1:41:16'That's it...

1:41:16 > 1:41:18'That's it.'

1:41:18 > 1:41:20He does.

1:41:20 > 1:41:25- It must be a comfort to you to have him near you.- Yes...

1:41:25 > 1:41:28but he doesn't come to see me very much.

1:41:28 > 1:41:31I think he has a grudge against me.

1:41:31 > 1:41:34Ohh, surely not.

1:41:34 > 1:41:39They tell me he wants to marry a girl - a nice girl,

1:41:39 > 1:41:42but he won't ask her.

1:41:42 > 1:41:46He feels...I think he feels,

1:41:46 > 1:41:51he's under some sort of spell... or curse, you see.

1:41:52 > 1:41:54That's just plain silly!

1:41:56 > 1:41:59Now, this is where you come in.

1:41:59 > 1:42:02- I...?- Yes, you.

1:42:02 > 1:42:07You know the facts. You know what really happened.

1:42:07 > 1:42:11Tell him. Tell him everything, just as it was.

1:42:21 > 1:42:24Every man should get married.

1:42:28 > 1:42:30You ought to have married.

1:42:30 > 1:42:34You're all dried up inside. I can tell that.

1:42:34 > 1:42:37Don't you feel any need of love?

1:42:40 > 1:42:42Speak to him.

1:42:42 > 1:42:46Tell him there's no spell or curse...

1:42:46 > 1:42:49except an unloving heart.

1:42:49 > 1:42:51'Tell him that.'

1:42:51 > 1:42:54ROLLING THUNDER

1:43:04 > 1:43:08PEAL OF THUNDER Look at the lightning, Mama.

1:43:08 > 1:43:14- Lucky we didn't go to Beeston Castle. - It would have been rather damp.

1:43:17 > 1:43:20Sit here, please, Leo dear...

1:43:20 > 1:43:25You see, I don't like the number 13 - isn't it silly of me?

1:43:25 > 1:43:29So, we've put 12 candles round the big cake,

1:43:29 > 1:43:33and when they're blown-out you can light that one...

1:43:33 > 1:43:35and blow that one out.

1:43:35 > 1:43:38- When?- When Marian comes.

1:43:38 > 1:43:42She has a rather special present for you.

1:43:42 > 1:43:45She wants to give it to you herself...

1:43:45 > 1:43:48naturally.

1:43:48 > 1:43:50Let's all sit down.

1:43:50 > 1:43:55Marian will be back at about six o'clock...from Nanny Robson.

1:43:55 > 1:44:02- HUGH: I haven't seen her for years... How is she?- Remarkably well.

1:44:03 > 1:44:08- Isn't it time that Leo cut the cake?- Yes. If he can do it!

1:44:08 > 1:44:12That's unkind! Of course he can do it.

1:44:12 > 1:44:14He's a man of great capabilities.

1:44:14 > 1:44:17Considerable. And well-loved.

1:44:17 > 1:44:22Didn't you know he was Marian's cavalier?

1:44:22 > 1:44:25LOUD PEAL OF THUNDER

1:44:27 > 1:44:30CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

1:44:51 > 1:44:53Leave a piece for Marian.

1:44:53 > 1:44:58- She ought to be here now. - It's still raining...

1:44:58 > 1:45:03We'd better send the carriage down to fetch her.

1:45:03 > 1:45:05< Why didn't we think of it before?

1:45:05 > 1:45:11MR MAUDSLEY: Send the carriage for Miss Marian.

1:45:23 > 1:45:28She may be walking up in the rain. She'll get soaked.

1:45:28 > 1:45:31What about your thirteenth candle?

1:45:35 > 1:45:38You must cut a piece for yourself.

1:45:40 > 1:45:43He'd rather have his cake than eat it(!)

1:45:45 > 1:45:48Let's have a round of crackers.

1:45:48 > 1:45:51Here, Leo...come pull one with me.

1:45:53 > 1:45:57Now, all together... CRACK

1:46:00 > 1:46:04- WHISPERS INAUDIBLY - Leo?

1:46:04 > 1:46:08Excuse me, ma'am. The carriage is back,

1:46:08 > 1:46:13but Miss Marian wasn't there and hasn't been there all day.

1:46:19 > 1:46:23Well, all we can do is wait for her.

1:46:23 > 1:46:27­ I've just found a riddle. Listen to this...

1:46:27 > 1:46:30"What's the...?"

1:46:30 > 1:46:33No...we won't wait!

1:46:33 > 1:46:36I'm going to look for her.

1:46:37 > 1:46:42Leo...you know where she is. You shall show me the way!

1:46:45 > 1:46:48MADELEINE!

1:48:06 > 1:48:09- No!- You SHALL come!

1:48:28 > 1:48:31MOANS FROM HAYLOFT

1:48:43 > 1:48:45Look...!

1:48:47 > 1:48:51'You came out of the blue to make us happy...

1:48:51 > 1:48:54'and we made YOU happy, didn't we?

1:48:54 > 1:48:58'We trusted you with our great treasure.

1:48:58 > 1:49:01'You might never have known what it was...

1:49:01 > 1:49:06'You might have gone through life without knowing.'

1:49:06 > 1:49:08You see, you can tell him, Leo.

1:49:08 > 1:49:12Tell everything - just as it was.

1:49:16 > 1:49:20'Hugh was true as steel. He wouldn't hear a word against me.

1:49:20 > 1:49:24But everybody wanted to know us, of course.

1:49:24 > 1:49:27I was Lady Trimingham, you see.

1:49:27 > 1:49:31I still am. There is no other.

1:49:31 > 1:49:36Remember how you loved taking our messages...

1:49:36 > 1:49:39'bringing us together in happiness.

1:49:39 > 1:49:43'Well, this is an another errand of love...

1:49:43 > 1:49:48'and the last time I shall ever ask you to be our postman.'

1:49:50 > 1:49:54Our love was a beautiful thing, wasn't it?

1:49:56 > 1:50:01Tell him he can feel proud to be descended from our union.

1:50:01 > 1:50:05'The child of so much happiness and beauty.

1:50:05 > 1:50:08'Tell him.'
