waiting for you when you're ready

I did.

I don't think the doctor was thinking of this kind of exercise.

Better than nothing.

I'm tired of being on my BTM day after day. The doctor should be delighted.

He's coming to see you today, isn't he?

Yep, ten o 'clock.

Have you had breakfast? Uh -huh. Mrs Mackenzie will insist on bringing it up.

the time she's havered about everything stone cold.

But I shall beat her to it tomorrow.

Well, you'll over get so many of them now that you've got the phone in, eh?

It's true. Thank you very much, Mr Doerr.

Bye.

I thought you'd got lost.

Well, I had to give a cup of tea to the engineer, and then dear Mr Todd turned

up with a letter from my mother.

I'll keep.

It's all right.

It's an invitation, actually.

She wants me to go and see something at the Festival of Britain with her.

There's a lot going on.

She thought June or July would probably be the best.

Well, I tell you what.

While you're down south doing the festival, Mummy can come up here and

the lambs you never get round to marking.

Too fine. Too soon.

You're always being a pessimist, Balboa.

Here's a letter for Robert.

I'm not pessimistic about this, though.

Here's another one for yourself.

Oh, from New Zealand.

That's so it is.

Well, good day to you, Mr. Todd.

Aye, good day.

Good morning. Good morning.

Laura McInnes.

Sergeant Ferens. I'm here to see Major Mingus. I hope he won't be long.

Major Mingus has an appointment with his doctor at ten this morning. Can I help

you at all? Major Mingus doesn't have an appointment with his doctor. He has an

appointment with me.

I'm his physiotherapist.

Yes, that will do fine.

Now, just come down slowly.

Left foot first. Left foot, Major.

Slowly.

Watch your stick. It's moving further towards your leg with every step. Keep

out to the side.

Ah, yes, that's better.

Is this all you've got for me to do?

I did this this morning.

It helped me to assess what you can do.

Now, we'll do it again.

Don't overdo things, Andrew.

But we'll do it as an exercise this time. Very, very slowly.

OK? This is very good, Kathleen.

I didn't know you knew my name.

It's a funny kind of eel.

See, the best part is here, next to the bone.

Are you going to cook it yourself?

Of course.

Tonight I will celebrate my new home with ossobuchi, ramillanese and risotto.

What's that?

Something very, very delicious.

Even without garlic, it will taste pretty good.

Do you eat garlic?

No. But I bet you are a wonderful cooker.

Well, I can cook.

Do you like risotto?

Rice? Or rice pudding?

No.

Oh, my hands are a bit dirty.

Could you take it upstairs for me?

All right.

I know it was a stupid thing to suggest.

I do know there's work to be done. I do.

And I want to be here.

I'd much rather be here than traipsing around some exhibition in my high heels.

Having said that, I have a suggestion to make about my parents.

They've never been to Scotland. They've never even seen the house.

Don't even think about it.

I want my mother to see Scotland. She thinks the festival's only going on down

south.

I can take her to Pitlochry for the new theatre. I can take her to Perth. It's

only two days.

Two days and two nights.

And I promise I won't neglect my work, I'll say.

Two nights, all right? No more.

Thanks. I'll make it up to you.

Oh, you will? Uh -huh.

Well, I fixed your motorbike.

Thought I might have a go at the tractor now. No, you can just leave that alone.

Now, Flora, about the baggage.

That'll be picked up tomorrow morning by the carriers, except for the small ones

which will go with you into Glasgow.

Oh, yes.

How fortunate we have time to fit in a dinner engagement en route.

It's quite an honour and something to celebrate a university that's 500 years

old.

Sir James and his family are so proud of Glasgow University, why, pray, did he

go to Oxford and send Andrew to Sandhurst?

Oh,

I'm not dismissing Glasgow.

Well, not all of it. It has very fine buildings and some wonderful pictures.

Well, from the real painters, anyway.

I've got two Cadells and a Ferguson.

I wish now I'd managed to buy more.

Only James thought it was too extravagant at the time.

but you and Andrew will have good reason to thank me for them one day.

Sir James wanted to be in Glasgow tomorrow with plenty of time to spare,

arranged for the car to pick you up at 2 .30.

And the hotel?

Yes, I booked separate rooms at the back, away from the street.

Mm -hm.

Good.

Well, I'd better look out some of my jewellery.

It'll be a very formal dinner.

Stuffed shirts and tiaras.

Now, could you just get up on here?

Well... It's quite sturdy, isn't it?

I suppose so, yes.

Well, hop up then. I'll show you another exercise you can do yourself. It's very

good for strengthening the leg.

Comfortable? Mm -hm. Let both your legs dangle.

Now, pull up your leg as straight as you can.

Absolutely straight.

I am trying.

That's right.

And down again.

Well, that's not bad, Major. Now try it again on your own.

Up.

Straight.

Absolutely straight.

And down.

No, slowly.

Both up and down movements as slowly as possible.

You'll feel quite stiff by this evening.

Is that all?

Almost.

I always thought they had male fideos in the army.

Yes, they do.

And they have female majors as well.

Touché.

What on earth are you doing, turning the dining room into a gymnasium?

There's no harm done.

Most unhygienic.

A little more difficult this time.

Just a little, yes.

An injury like this can be just as irritating and depressing as something

serious.

Partly because you don't expect it to be, and of course other people don't

expect it to be either.

You're not tied to a hospital bed, so they expect you to recover in no time at

all. And they're apt to forget that you might be in pain.

How am I doing?

Pretty well.

All things considered.

Do you think it'll ever be, you know, completely right?

The doctor will give you the official verdict on his next visit.

That's yours, for the time being, anyway.

How's he doing?

Oh, fine.

But he must do these exercises on a regular basis.

I'll make sure he does.

But don't overdo it.

Laura!

You do know that Lady Constance and I will be dining out this evening? Yes,

the Duncans, it's true. That's right, we won't be late. Too much to do.

I'm glad she's not working for us.

She spends more time gallivanting around the village than she ever does in Bobby

Stewart's shop.

Oh, good morning, Mr. Deacon.

How's business in Valens, Rick?

Caught up on a butter, please.

I see you're an eye -tizer in the old smiddy, Mr. Forbes.

Aye.

I doubt you'll be shooing any horses, though. The last time I spoke to you

renting a place, you said nobody else was interested.

That was a month or two back.

We could have said.

I told you what the rent would be.

You said it was too high. So it was.

I thought Fabiani would be back in Italy by now with the rest of his kind.

There's surely no planning on staying here forever.

His papers are in order, thanks to Sir James.

He's got a good head for business, full of plans, and he's an excellent

mechanic.

I'm pretty good myself.

Oh, I don't need a competition in that, Blair.

Is there anything else?

A big loaf.

Ah, it'll be good to see the place going again.

Business generates business.

Customers for Umberto mean more customers for my shop.

I will be nice and clear.

Don't you need to work it? Don't you? Aye, she still does.

But it's much longer than carries on like that. I think it'll be probably in

middle of the morning.

May I help you, ladies?

No, no, Mrs. Crawford. Just looking.

Hello there. Good morning.

Mrs McKinney, this is a surprise.

Hello, Mr Ford, Mr Ford.

How are you both?

Oh, fine, fine.

Now, what can I get you? I'd like a word with Mr Forbes, if I may.

About a tublet in your property.

I asked you to fix this weeks ago, remember?

I am very busy. I have other things to do.

But you were supposed to be doing them for me at the time, not setting up

business here.

OK. I'll fix it immediately, eh?

No.

I'll do it tomorrow. But no charge.

Right. Tomorrow at the very latest.

As for the charge, I'll pay the going rate.

Since you're in business.

Oh, good business, good.

These farmers, they don't take care of their machines.

Look what the temple rain did to this.

They don't understand that machines are like horses.

You need to drive them, to feed them. Just like you do with horses.

You'll be showing them too, will you?

Yeah, horses.

It's a thing of the past.

I mostly do tractors now.

I'm good at the fire. I can make fences.

I can make gates, pokers.

You'll be good at that.

Poking.

The camp barn was too quiet for me.

All those sheep, all that countryside.

I like to stay here in the middle of the village. I like the pub, the people

coming and going.

The more, the merrier. The more, the merrier?

You're playing with fire. Do you know that?

Of course I am.

It's my trade now.

I'm sure he'll make an excellent tenant, Mrs. McInnes.

I'm sure he will, Mr. Forbes.

Well, you wouldn't have taken him on.

He's already made some repairs inside the building, but that's work needing

to the roof.

Don't worry. I'll arrange for that to be done as soon as possible.

Now that the building is occupied, it meets the conditions covered by the new

ground.

And now that you're subletting, we will, of course, be raising your own rent.

Good morning.

Oh, good morning, Mr. McGinnis, Mr. Forbes.

Tomorrow, then.

We'll be ready.

I came to have a look at the premises.

Make sure that everything's in order.

Oh, so you've started work already?

I had to.

There's a cure for me, huh?

Well, that's good.

Still working on the memoirs?

I wouldn't call them that.

I know, that's what they are.

No, no, this is about Sir Blair.

All of Sir Blair, not just Walter Balbuie.

Are you stuck?

I would say a man is judged by his dogs.

Well, I hope I'm judged by this one.

Lynn.

Balbuie Linty.

She just had to stand there and hold up her front paw and all the sheep would

flow into the pen like magic.

Am I the kind to exaggerate?

No.

Well, she had small letters in mind.

But every pup was a winner. Sold all over. New Zealand, Australia.

These arrived this morning.

There's a letter up there for you.

These were her best pup.

Gary and Glenn.

Aye, Bill Sloan took these two out with him when he went off to New Zealand.

I'd love to have seen these pups working.

Training your own dog. That's something they'll never teach you at the college.

How did you know?

I've accepted me back.

Well, on condition that... On condition that you keep your nose to the

grindstone. Well, make sure you do this time.

They'll not give you a third chance. Aye, I know that.

When do you start?

Oggy.
