1
00:00:30,814 --> 00:00:38,972
THE FARMER'S WIFE

2
00:04:51,314 --> 00:04:56,565
...and don't forget to ventilate
your master's underpants, Minta.

3
00:08:48,963 --> 00:08:53,441
The next to marry,
after his daughter, it will be him.

4
00:08:57,703 --> 00:08:59,277
Why not?

5
00:08:59,583 --> 00:09:02,672
Marriage has something
magical.

6
00:09:02,783 --> 00:09:05,563
It has very beautiful sides,
Churdles Ash.

7
00:12:03,534 --> 00:12:08,535
Drinking beer is less
dangerous than courting.

8
00:12:15,284 --> 00:12:17,081
If I were in government,

9
00:12:17,284 --> 00:12:22,785
I'll leave the drunks alone
and I would annoy the lovers.

10
00:12:27,303 --> 00:12:31,899
I saw the master looking at a
or two women recently.

11
00:12:38,802 --> 00:12:41,032
An old man in love,

12
00:12:41,242 --> 00:12:46,303
it's worse
as if he had whooping cough.

13
00:14:21,053 --> 00:14:24,209
marriage,
it's a steamroller

14
00:14:24,233 --> 00:14:27,106
that crushes a man's hopes

15
00:14:27,313 --> 00:14:31,066
and the joy of a woman.

16
00:18:26,337 --> 00:18:32,294
Many around here wish
ardently a suitor.

17
00:19:06,622 --> 00:19:11,121
They need a strong man
to rely on.

18
00:21:15,630 --> 00:21:18,490
And don't forget,
Dear Mr. Sweetland,

19
00:21:18,690 --> 00:21:23,427
that you come to my reception
next Thursday.

20
00:21:31,131 --> 00:21:34,468
Will Mr Ash be able to
stand at the door

21
00:21:34,671 --> 00:21:37,690
and announce the guests?

22
00:21:37,891 --> 00:21:40,666
I have a livery for him.

23
00:29:58,696 --> 00:30:05,196
I have to make a decision,
or I will soon be a alone man.

24
00:30:08,196 --> 00:30:11,169
The last will
from the late my dear Tibby

25
00:30:11,376 --> 00:30:14,748
was that I would remarry

26
00:30:14,956 --> 00:30:18,248
but she did not name anyone.

27
00:30:38,696 --> 00:30:40,748
There are one or two women

28
00:30:40,956 --> 00:30:43,247
that run through my head

29
00:30:43,456 --> 00:30:46,224
like a smoke
Sunday lunch.

30
00:30:58,186 --> 00:31:01,125
Take a pencil
and paper, Minta,

31
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:06,097
and consider the possible parties
and those that are impossible.

32
00:32:07,924 --> 00:32:12,263
From the back, she doesn't
no more than 30 years old.

33
00:32:15,174 --> 00:32:21,788
But that's his side
with which you will live.

34
00:32:42,674 --> 00:32:45,568
Why not Thirza Tapper?

35
00:33:33,674 --> 00:33:36,613
I have nothing
against curves,

36
00:33:36,814 --> 00:33:40,265
as long as they are placed
in the right place.

37
00:33:43,424 --> 00:33:48,115
If she is plump at 30,
how will it be at 40?

38
00:34:06,397 --> 00:34:10,929
Enter Mercy Bassett,
of the Royal Oak, just in case.

39
00:34:39,268 --> 00:34:44,767
It's almost indecent to see them
all on the same piece of paper.

40
00:36:11,235 --> 00:36:16,131
Louisa Windeatt will come and eat me
in my hand whenever I want.

41
00:37:21,564 --> 00:37:23,456
The widow herself!

42
00:38:53,815 --> 00:38:56,993
What brings you
from that far away, Sweetland?

43
00:39:08,065 --> 00:39:11,596
I do like foxes
that you love so much:

44
00:39:11,805 --> 00:39:14,016
I've come to steal a big chicken!

45
00:39:25,139 --> 00:39:27,794
Listen to what I have to tell you,

46
00:39:27,999 --> 00:39:30,938
you will have a good reason
to raise your glass.

47
00:39:47,281 --> 00:39:49,811
I'm getting married again, Louisa.

48
00:40:11,103 --> 00:40:13,917
So, the big hen
that you want,

49
00:40:14,123 --> 00:40:17,620
Is it for the wedding meal?

50
00:40:41,844 --> 00:40:46,262
You are the first to know
your luck, my dear.

51
00:40:54,681 --> 00:40:57,820
Of me, a little girl
can do what she wants

52
00:40:58,021 --> 00:41:01,719
but an army
wouldn't be able to defeat me!

53
00:41:08,730 --> 00:41:11,528
“Yes” is a very short word...

54
00:41:14,230 --> 00:41:15,829
I know another one.

55
00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:27,169
I am not
a woman for you.

56
00:41:27,370 --> 00:41:30,184
I am far too independent.

57
00:41:37,230 --> 00:41:40,169
You won't feel
that the velvet glove...

58
00:41:40,370 --> 00:41:43,264
never the iron fist.

59
00:42:21,730 --> 00:42:27,548
Don't count on me to come up
your damn hill again!

60
00:42:31,730 --> 00:42:35,909
And you barely reacted
like a woman should do.

61
00:42:36,110 --> 00:42:39,561
You are an unpleasant person.

62
00:42:48,230 --> 00:42:51,203
No need to change your mind,

63
00:42:51,410 --> 00:42:55,419
you have ruined all your chances.

64
00:44:41,122 --> 00:44:44,141
Never let again
this fox hunter,

65
00:44:44,342 --> 00:44:45,995
Louisa Windeatt,

66
00:44:46,202 --> 00:44:48,857
enter this house.

67
00:45:18,562 --> 00:45:20,792
I am delighted to see you.

68
00:45:25,698 --> 00:45:30,469
Don't forget that the little party
starts at 4 o'clock sharp.

69
00:46:21,096 --> 00:46:24,911
It's nice
to come and help us, Minta.

70
00:46:25,116 --> 00:46:28,214
You too, Mr. Ash.

71
00:47:19,904 --> 00:47:23,082
The reception is not
started, sir.

72
00:51:03,711 --> 00:51:08,641
I take care of the plums
before ice cream, then?

73
00:52:22,211 --> 00:52:26,550
Some men
like chubby women...

74
00:53:28,711 --> 00:53:33,163
Stop, Thirza Tapper,
I'm asking you to marry me!

75
00:54:10,461 --> 00:54:15,711
Of me, a little girl can do
what she wants but an army...

76
00:54:24,079 --> 00:54:27,257
Get up,
dear Samuel Sweetland.

77
00:54:37,579 --> 00:54:43,317
You are the first to dare to challenge
my lack of seduction!

78
00:54:50,829 --> 00:54:54,519
But I will never take refuge
near a man,

79
00:54:54,729 --> 00:54:57,224
not even you!

80
00:55:48,829 --> 00:55:54,601
How could I know that
would the ice cream melt near the fire?

81
01:00:39,454 --> 01:00:41,949
I'm not a guest, George.

82
01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:42,618
There comes the doctor and his wife.

83
01:03:23,902 --> 01:03:28,992
It's also good
than at the station buffet.

84
01:05:46,392 --> 01:05:49,106
His Excellency the vicar and his mother.

85
01:08:13,359 --> 01:08:16,219
It must be the singers!

86
01:08:50,363 --> 01:08:54,815
May those who have finished have
the kindness of going to the garden.

87
01:11:35,152 --> 01:11:38,410
The fruit!
In the garden, please.

88
01:14:42,152 --> 01:14:44,602
Mary Hearn, I'm getting married again.

89
01:14:51,152 --> 01:14:54,444
It's funny, a gypsy told me

90
01:14:54,652 --> 01:14:57,022
that I would get married before a year!

91
01:15:13,652 --> 01:15:17,467
I bet I know who with!

92
01:15:34,152 --> 01:15:37,171
You... At your age!

93
01:15:44,152 --> 01:15:48,570
You don't plan to marry
a young man, anyway?

94
01:15:52,402 --> 01:15:54,215
And why not?

95
01:15:54,422 --> 01:15:57,873
The young girls
marry young people, right?

96
01:16:02,369 --> 01:16:05,535
You have the nerve to
you say "young girl"?

97
01:16:06,860 --> 01:16:11,278
And what the hell should I say?

98
01:16:15,091 --> 01:16:19,384
Hot air balloon, at least,
That’s what I would say!

99
01:16:29,017 --> 01:16:31,353
Boredom with you,

100
01:16:31,557 --> 01:16:36,533
it's that you're trying too hard
to rejuvenate you.

101
01:16:46,781 --> 01:16:49,515
Is this a nightmare?

102
01:16:51,281 --> 01:16:53,014
Your hat is one.

103
01:16:58,281 --> 01:17:00,299
Old goat!

104
01:17:00,501 --> 01:17:04,237
to attack a young woman
in all its splendor...

105
01:17:07,531 --> 01:17:12,586
Don't think you were
the first, you were not!

106
01:17:38,031 --> 01:17:39,764
By all the saints,

107
01:17:39,971 --> 01:17:42,739
what is Sammy doing
At the post office?

108
01:18:13,531 --> 01:18:16,504
What were you doing, Sammy?

109
01:19:39,781 --> 01:19:42,641
I won't propose to anyone again.

110
01:19:42,841 --> 01:19:45,257
I won't finish the list.

111
01:19:56,281 --> 01:19:59,220
Mercy Bassette, of the Royal Oak,

112
01:19:59,421 --> 01:20:02,838
will react like the others.

113
01:20:36,031 --> 01:20:39,050
I'm ashamed of Samuel Sweetland.

114
01:20:39,251 --> 01:20:43,863
It is offered at a discount
throughout the country.

115
01:21:08,781 --> 01:21:11,117
It's a shame for us,
men,

116
01:21:11,321 --> 01:21:13,691
let him stoop to go see them,

117
01:21:13,901 --> 01:21:15,714
his hat in his hand,

118
01:21:15,921 --> 01:21:18,610
to see yourself ridiculed
for his trouble!

119
01:21:51,531 --> 01:21:53,426
Saddle my horse!

120
01:22:01,031 --> 01:22:02,889
My other coat!

121
01:28:47,263 --> 01:28:50,999
Pay attention,
I think you are in love!

122
01:30:19,067 --> 01:30:22,006
We already have turnips,
the rest of us.

123
01:30:22,207 --> 01:30:25,021
Real little wonders.

124
01:30:25,227 --> 01:30:29,440
Round and white
like women's breasts!

125
01:31:33,316 --> 01:31:36,255
After your scandalous attitude,

126
01:31:36,456 --> 01:31:39,429
I don't want to talk to you anymore

127
01:31:39,636 --> 01:31:42,894
than in a professional setting.

128
01:31:46,816 --> 01:31:49,311
No man would get tired

129
01:31:49,516 --> 01:31:52,250
to make you hysterical,

130
01:31:52,456 --> 01:31:54,826
you puny little rat!

131
01:31:58,816 --> 01:32:00,834
Know...

132
01:32:01,036 --> 01:32:03,611
that I could have gotten married.

133
01:32:03,816 --> 01:32:06,755
I could have been the woman
of an exceptional man,

134
01:32:06,956 --> 01:32:09,212
Mr. Samuel Sweetland.

135
01:32:12,066 --> 01:32:14,561
Prove it, Tabby Tapper.

136
01:32:42,877 --> 01:32:46,010
...and I bet he didn't get it

137
01:32:46,217 --> 01:32:49,475
and he's going to come home
in a very bad mood.

138
01:35:40,716 --> 01:35:44,452
It's all over, Minta.
I'm done!

139
01:35:54,716 --> 01:36:00,409
Each time, I had to leave
tail between legs.

140
01:36:09,716 --> 01:36:12,894
All the power of the weaker sex

141
01:36:13,096 --> 01:36:15,864
was unleashed against me.

142
01:36:16,076 --> 01:36:20,608
They took away all my dignity.

143
01:36:31,466 --> 01:36:34,155
Don't say that, Sweetland.

144
01:36:34,366 --> 01:36:38,579
A strong and sensitive man
has no right to speak like this.

145
01:37:01,567 --> 01:37:05,257
What are they made of?
women today?

146
01:37:11,817 --> 01:37:16,030
I have many faults, Minta,
but there is good in me.

147
01:37:19,817 --> 01:37:24,235
It's enough to make you feel
all confidence in us.

148
01:37:32,567 --> 01:37:36,621
I would have thought that directing
the farm would tempt them,

149
01:37:36,827 --> 01:37:39,243
Unless the farmer does!

150
01:39:40,567 --> 01:39:45,319
And this charming woman,
Jane Cherry, the peddler's sister?

151
01:40:01,317 --> 01:40:03,767
There is indeed a woman...
The woman...

152
01:41:27,067 --> 01:41:29,642
I won't get angry
if you say no.

153
01:41:29,847 --> 01:41:32,103
I got used to it.

154
01:41:40,567 --> 01:41:43,335
I offer myself in all humility.

155
01:41:43,547 --> 01:41:45,439
Hope is gone

156
01:41:45,647 --> 01:41:48,415
but I will just say
one thing in my favor:

157
01:41:48,627 --> 01:41:51,759
a little girl can do
what she wants from me

158
01:41:57,459 --> 01:42:01,513
Are you sure of your decision?
It's so sudden...

159
01:42:10,709 --> 01:42:13,682
The ways of the Lord
are impenetrable.

160
01:42:13,889 --> 01:42:16,498
He does not warn

161
01:42:16,709 --> 01:42:20,206
when He will strike
the heart of a man.

162
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:48,293
I am proud to accept, Samuel.
With confidence and hope.

163
01:43:13,132 --> 01:43:18,187
That I be cursed
if you regret this choice one day!

164
01:43:44,382 --> 01:43:47,196
To make it a reality
the new situation,

165
01:43:47,402 --> 01:43:50,455
will make you look beautiful.

166
01:44:07,064 --> 01:44:10,913
Where is the evening dress
that Tibby gave you?

167
01:44:40,813 --> 01:44:43,573
He caught a woman,
finally?

168
01:44:51,059 --> 01:44:53,714
May God protect us
both.

169
01:44:53,919 --> 01:44:56,687
With a new woman
in the house!

170
01:45:21,809 --> 01:45:25,306
Seems the best,
apart from no wife at all,

171
01:45:25,509 --> 01:45:27,720
it is to have a good wife.

172
01:45:27,929 --> 01:45:30,504
He finally found the pearl.

173
01:45:36,309 --> 01:45:41,444
I will be with you,
to help you carry it out.

174
01:45:52,559 --> 01:45:56,852
Don't forget to tell him
that I am terribly underpaid.

175
01:46:46,510 --> 01:46:49,688
I changed my mind, Samuel.

176
01:47:25,010 --> 01:47:28,780
I was going to tell Mary
something interesting.

177
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:45,399
Make sure Tabby Tapper hears this.

178
01:48:12,974 --> 01:48:15,947
I heard about
of your misfortunes, Samuel,

179
01:48:16,154 --> 01:48:18,809
and I found you someone

180
01:48:19,014 --> 01:48:21,748
which is worth its weight in gold.

181
01:48:34,474 --> 01:48:40,007
I made my choice
and you will drink to his health

182
01:51:31,474 --> 01:51:34,732
And if anyone
knows a woman

183
01:51:34,934 --> 01:51:37,509
kinder and more loyal,

184
01:51:37,714 --> 01:51:41,006
with a nobler character,
I would love to see her!

185
01:51:55,474 --> 01:51:55,474
