See, I am learning Milton ways, Mr
Thornton.

He's faltering.

He's drowning himself.

Henry, I... I'm sorry.

My daughter, Margaret.

I wish you to be a friend.

I will count for that with my own
daughter.

I have a brother.

I'm sorry, you have company already.

No, indeed we do not. There is no one
here. Mr Thornton is a gentleman, Fred.

He's been very good to us.

Do what you like. Write to Henry if you
must, but do not keep Frederick in

England. He identified the lady as a
Miss Hale from Crumpton. I was not

I have not the slightest wish to pry
into the gentleman's secrets. I'm only

concerned as your father's friend. I
hope you realise that any foolish

for you on my part is entirely over.

Though the autumn is turning chilly, I'm
still determined to take my daily walk.

I cannot persuade Father to join me.

He has been very cast down since
Mother's death.

He keeps to the house in his own
company, and he has very few visitors to

disturb him.

That man Higgins is here.

Oh. Show him up, Dixon. If you saw his
shoes, you'd say the kitchen were a

better place.

He can wipe them, surely.

I've been looking for work.

I've been keeping a civil tongue in my
head and not minding who says what back

to me.

I'm doing it for him, of course, not me.

About you.

Well, not for him. He doesn't need my
help where he is, but his children.

But I need your help, Master, if you'll
give it.

Gladly, but what can I do?

Well, Miss Sierra's often talked about
the South.

I don't know how far it is, but I've
been thinking if I can get down there

food is cheap and wages are good and
people are friendly.

Maybe you can help me get work there.

Oh, what kind of work?

I think I'm good with a spade.

You mustn't leave Milton at his house.

You couldn't bear the dullness of life.

It would eat away at you like raft.

Think no more of it, Nicholas.

I beg you.

Nicholas, have you been to Marlborough
Mills for work?

I have been to Thornton's.

The overlooker told me to be often.

Told me to go away, sharpish.

Would you try again?

I should be so glad if you would.

Mr Thornton would judge you fairly, I'm
sure, if given the chance.

I would take my pride.

I think I'd rather starve.

Well, if you can think of anything, must
I?

Oh, of course, of course.

Thank you.

I'll bid you goodnight.

I'm sorry, because...

We'll find your shoes by the fire.

He's a proud man.

Still, there are qualities to be admired
in these Milton men.

Maybe God has found his way here after
all.

If only he and Mr. Thornton could speak
man to man.

If he could forget Mr. Thornton is a
master...

And appeal to his heart.

My word, Margaret.

To admit that the South has its faults
and that Mr Thornton has his virtues.

What has happened to bring about such a
transformation?

Miss Thornton, thank you for sparing the
time to visit her.

My father is detained, but he'd be
touched by your kindness.

Thank you for your kind messages.

They're so grateful.

My aunt has sent me details of a little
Italian tune that Miss Thornton asked me

about. Miss Hale, I'm afraid I did not
visit to indulge Fanny's thirst for

music.

I have a duty to perform.

I promised your mother.

But if I knew you had acted wrongly, I
would offer you advice, whether you

to take it or not.

And when I learned from one of my
servants that you had been seen out

with a gentleman, I thought it right to
warn you against such impropriety.

Many a young woman has lost her
character. Mrs Thornton, I'm sure my

never meant me to be exposed to insult.

Whatever Mr Thornton told you, I can
assure you... My son has told me

You know nothing of the man you
rejected.

If he has any knowledge of this, he
keeps it to himself, as any man of

would.

Of course.

I don't doubt it.

I cannot give you any sort of
explanation.

I've done wrong.

But not in the way you imagine or imply.

I did not approve of my son's attachment
to you.

He did not seem worthy to me.

But I was prepared for his sake.

Your behaviour on the day of the riots
exposed you to the comments of servants.

But by the time my son had proposed,
you'd changed your mind.

Maybe there's other lover.

You must think very little of me, madam.

I can't claim to be sorry you refused my
son.

Now I'm glad.

Especially now when he exposed yourself
to gossip and ridicule. I won't listen

to you anymore.

I refuse to answer your questions.
Excuse me.

You've seen the new figures?

I'd hoped to reduce the bank loan by
now.

It's a pity so much is tied up in the
new machinery.

I needed the machinery because we were
doing well.

We had large orders, and I needed to buy
the cotton in bulk.

Obviously, I wasn't expecting not to be
able to fulfil the contract.

But you've been back to work for a good
while now. But we're still behind with

the orders.

I will not catch up to them.

Not looking like we will catch up.

Well, Frank can extend the loan
temporarily.

We'll have to be careful. I don't think
anyone has ever accused me of being

careless or frivolous.

Forgive me.

I don't know how I could have prevented
this.

Or what to do next.

Well, there are more modern financial
procedures.

Investments.

I could let you know when I hear of any
such schemes.

Speculation.

I'll not risk everything on some idiot
money scheme.

Well, if matters carry on like this, you
might not have anything left to risk.

Good morning, Sawyer.

Yes, sir.

Good to speak to you.

Welcome home.

Well, sir, what do you want with me?

My name is Hickey. I'll know who you
are.

What do you want?

I want work. Work?

You've got a nerve.

Hamper will tell you I'm a good worker.
I'm not sure you'd like to hear all of

what Hamper would have to say about you.

I've had to turn away a hundred of my
best hands for following you and your

union.

And you think that I should take you on?

Might as well set fire to the cotton
waste and I'm done with it.

I promise you I'll not speak against
you.

If I found anything wrong, I'd give you
a fair warning before taking action. I'm

a steady man.

But work hard.

I don't know you're not just planning
this, Jeff.

Or maybe you're just interested in
saving up money against another strike.

I need work.

For the family of a man who were driven
mad.

It is job taken by one of those Irishmen
you hired. Didn't know one end of a

loom from another. Your union forced me
into hiring those Irish.

It's good it did me.

Most of them have gone home.

If I were to believe your reason, I
can't say that I'm inclined to.

I'd advise you to try some other work
and leave Milton. If it were warmer, I'd

take Paddy's work and never come back
again.

But come winter, those children will
starve.

If you knew of any place away from
Milton, I'd take any wage they thought

worth for the sake of those children.
Well, you'd take wages less than others.

They have no union, of course.

Your union would be delicate than a
brick of my Irish, which try to feed

families, and yet you do this for these
children.

I'll not give you work.

You're wasting your time.

I know I was.

I was told to rescue by a woman.

I thought you had a kindness about you.

She was mistaken.

But I'm not the first to be misled by a
woman. Tell her to mind her own business

next time and stop wasting your time at
night.

Oh, don't forget when I arrived, sir.
And it's four, no?

Ah! Mikael!

I must congratulate you. Yes, we are to
be married.

soon. Delighted to see you again, Miss
Hale.

You must hurry, Miss Hale, for my dear
girl is busy buying up the whole shop.

Oh!

He is a little grey, but he's very well
set up.

He's a very good match for us, Thornton.

He has been trying to interest John in a
speculation.

Speculation?

Oh, excuse me, I didn't think that Mr
Thornton would participate in any kind

risky venture.

Everybody does it. All business is risk,
as my Watson would say.

Tom will have to be more modern in his
ideas if he's to keep up.

Oh, no!

You must send the bills to Marlborough
Mills. You must not pay for a button.

We are quite rich enough.

Oh, no.

Miss Hay, you could deal with having
just a little humility about it.

She was that green and stopped to
congratulate me.

She seemed surprised when I told her of
my wedding plans.

She's so grave and disapproving, as if I
couldn't afford it.

So I put her right.

It's not as if she will ever get a
husband.

She's much older than me and so severe.

I told her about Watson's business
proposition and she really turned up her

at me.

She's much as said you wouldn't be
interested as if she knew you better

So superior.

Thank you not to discuss my business
affairs in the street.

What do you know about anything anyway
funny, except how to spend money?

I know that if you were to take up
Watson's offer and join him in the

speculation, you would be certain to
profit. There is nothing certain about

speculation.

I will not risk the livelihoods of my
men by joining Watson's tomfool schemes.

If I lose money...

How will I be expected to pay off the
expense of your wedding?

You'll be sorry.

Is the speculation so risky?

Do you need to ask me that, Mother?

It's very risky.

If it succeeds, all our financial
problems will be over and no one will

know how bad things are.

If it fails?

At the moment, the payroll is safe.

Would you advise me to risk it?

If you succeeded, they'd never know.

And if it failed, I would have injured
others.

Would you ask me to risk that?

Tell me what to do.

Pray for a good summer.

People will buy cotton clothes.

Pray that some of our buyers pay their
bills on time.

Pray that Fanny doesn't have time to
order any more from the drapers.

Well, these are your children.

Now, open their mind now.

Your daughter teaches them to read.

I think they're teaching her.

And these are the children you mentioned
yesterday.

You didn't believe me.

I spoke to you in a way that I had no
business to.

I did not believe you.

I couldn't have taken care of a man such
as Bouty's children.

I've made inquiries, and I know now that
you spoke the truth.

I beg your pardon?

About just dead, and I am sorry, but
that's the end of it.

Will you take work with me? That's what
I came here to ask.

You've called me impudent, a liar, a
mischief -maker.

But for the sake of these children, you
think we could get along?

Well, it's not my proposal, but we've
got them well together.

Work is work.

I'll come, and what's more, I'll thank
you, and that's a good deal from me.

And this is a good deal from me.

Now, mind you, come sharp to your time.
What times we have, we keep sharp.

And the first time I catch you using
that brain of yours to make trouble, off

you go.

Now, you know where you are.

Reckon I'll leave my brains at home,
then.

Was Miss Hale the woman that told you to
come to me?

You might have said.

And you'd have been a bit more civil.

My father's waiting at the door.

I thought you might like to know that
I've taken Higgins on.

I'm glad of it.

I didn't know that it was you who urged
him to come to me.

Would it have made you more or less
likely to give him a job?

I don't know.

I'll not withdraw it, though, if that's
what worries you.

I wouldn't think you're capable of that.

I have a better opinion of you than you
do of me at the moment.

I feel.

Margaret, my dear, you're not obliged to
answer this question, but do

you have any reason for thinking that Mr
Thornton cared for you?

Father, I'm sorry.

You rejected him.

I should have told you.

Oh, no, no, no.

It would account for him...

not coming so often to the house.

I do value his company and conversation,
especially now that your mother's gone,

but if you feel uncomfortable in his
presence, I'll ask him not to come to

house again.

I'm sure you were honest with him.
That's the most important thing.

I've done nothing that I wouldn't do
again.

Thank you.

You're becoming a model employee.

Maybe someone will tell the union.

I always kept to my time.

Ask anybody.

Now I'll not give Thornton a chance to
give me the sack.

He puts in all hours himself.

Sometimes I don't think he sleeps from
one day to the next.

And he's taken an interest in young
Thomas and he's got to have a good

education.

He's a funny one.

I can't make him out.

Oh, no, you'll definitely be drummed out
of the union.

For thinking not so badly about a
master.

La.

At. Me.

Ca. Call.

Me. At.

Come me.

Ca. Call me.

Animal.

Animal.

What are you doing here?

Where's Higgins?

Have you had your supper?

Mary went to the butter, but she didn't
do dinner.

Why are you so late?

Shift finished an hour ago.

What are you up to?

Work wasn't finished.

We stayed until it was.

Can't pay over your time.

See, you're working over your time.

You go under.

No one else will take me on, and he'll
put food in his mouth.

You're not at his supper tonight, he's
been telling me.

No, some days there's good meat, other
days nothing fit for a dog, even if

you've got money in your pocket.

There's your market forces in action for
you, master.

It's a pity you can't get off some
scheme.

Buy food wholesale, cook for 20 instead
of one.

And everybody will be able to afford a
good meal a day.

I need a fit mind to do studying.

Careful.

Someone will appoint you to Masters
Union for that kind of talk.

Men eat well, they work well.

And that'll please Masters too, like
that idiot.

Which some are.

We need someone to cook.

There's an old outhouse out the back.

Not in any use, as far as I can tell.

You did bring your brains with you to
work today, didn't you?

Well, I tried to keep them hidden, but
you can't do without them altogether.

You'll get some figures up and we'll
see.

No problems of mine.

Sholto cries that he cannot remember
what his Aunt Margaret looks like.

It's freezing in London. I can't wait
for spring.

You must have icicles on your noses in
Milton.

It must be even more arctic up there.

Couldn't you try to brave the journey
and visit us soon?

And persuade Uncle to come with me.

Master?

Will you come in?

You today?

Not for a while.

You can all day, I'll bet.

No, no.

I'm not your daughter.

All right.

She's a good girl.

A fair cook.

She's come into her own since her sister
died, for the rest of her life.

Congratulations,

Mrs. Thompson.

Very good match, I'm sure.

I haven't seen Mr. Franklin. The
winter's been going on, so I do think

Sydney.

My son works hard, Mr. Hale. He's never
ill.

Isn't that Mr. Lattin's daughter over
there?

That's from Mr. Bell.

There's to be a reunion of all my Oxford
friends.

This time you'll accept his invitation?

I think I will.

I can give my pupils a holiday for a few
weeks.

Now that Thornton's stopped coming...
I'm

worried about him.

Is Marlborough Mills really in danger?

Yes, I'm afraid it is.

But it's his spirit I fear for.

Remember, after his father died,

He struggled for years to build
everything up again. He raised his

poverty.

How much worse to be brought low a
second time.

I know what it is to disappoint one's
family.

He will feel bitterly he's failed his
mother.

But you will not have failed in her
eyes.

Now it's my turn to leave you.

I'm a little nervous to tell you the
truth, my dear.

Don't worry, Father.

It's natural to wonder whether a place
where you were so happy so many years

ago, whether Oxford will still be the
same.

But once you're there with Mr Bell,
you'll have a wonderful time.

Wrap up warm.

It's still very true.

It's to Margaret, of course.

She's my main concern now.

I worry.

I worry about her when I'm gone.

Oh, come, come. That won't be for a
while.

Anyway, I thought it was settled. I'm
her guardian.

I've got no one else to look after.

When the time comes, have no fear. She
shall want for nothing.

How you care for her better than I have.
Oh, nonsense.

I thought you'd put all that talk behind
you.

You know, these last few weeks have done
you good. You look years younger.

Yes, I feel it. I feel as though... I've
come home.

I must tell Margaret.

The hell dead Never

recovered from his wife's death

Margaret

what

of her

It's not in the keeper here now.

Her aunt's coming to take her home, you
see.

She's seen a great deal of sorrow since
she's been here.

We'll be sorry to see her go, Miriam.

Oh, my dear, how you have suffered.

And what sorrows your father's brought
you.

We are leaving instantly.

Dixon, you're to stay here for the time
being and arrange an auction for all

this.

Not all the books.

I'm going to say goodbye to our friends.

I can't imagine how many friends you can
have here.

I will help you say goodbye and then we
are leaving this horrible place for

good.

I am sorry that you're leaving, Miss
Hale.

I was hoping that you might visit my
house.

I've finished it with Indian wallpaper
from the exhibition.

I don't suppose you could travel back?

Miss Hale will be in no mood for
travelling back from London just to see

furnishings, Fanny.

It was a while ago.

But I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you
at our last meeting.

I know that you meant well.

So you're going.

I brought you Father's Plato.

I thought that you might like it.

I shall treasure it.

I thought it was your father's memory.
He was a good friend to me.

I'll never come back.

I wish you well, Mr Thornton.

I must get her home as soon as possible.

To be sure, as soon as possible.

Margaret, there you are. We thought
you'd gone.

We were on our way to the station to try
and catch you.

I don't think you could leave us without
saying goodbye.

We're going to come to London, won't we?
Our next route's in a while. We'll go

without a farewell from our friends.

No, Margaret, no.

Not between friends. No, not for you,
Nicholas.

For the children.

You can't refuse it for the children.

You'll let me know how they do.

I don't know when she's going to cheer
up. It's been three months now, and

still insisting on wearing black.

Henry, I'm counting on you.

You know how much Captain Lennox and I
would like the two of you to get

together.

Mind you, she's terribly good with
Sholto.

I should hate to lose her.

Perhaps we could all live together in
one big house.

Mr Bell arrives today.

Maybe he can make her smile.

Mr Bell, do you really mean it? Of
course.

I was sitting on the train thinking how
could we amuse ourselves when I got it

into my head we should visit Helston. Do
you really like the idea?

When can we go?

Tomorrow?

We have to make some improvements.

Well, alterations.

We have seven children.

Yes, of course.

It's just a pity the roses are gone. The
children must have a place to play.

Fresh air prepares the mind for God.

Better than all that book reading, that
reminds me.

Precisely, my very word. We have to get
back to simple truth.

Forget about all this intellectualism,
this questioning.

The... descending?

Like my father, is that what you mean?
Well, no.

Well, yes.

I thought we ought to keep things
simple.

Ignorant.

Uneducated. Is that what you mean?

I'm sure the world would be a better
place.

Miss Hale has been in the north, where
life is a little more... well,

more wild.

Why are you smiling?

I was thinking of Mrs Thornton.

She'd love to be called wild.

Oh, dear, I nearly lost my temper.

Yes, I'm afraid this trip has not gone
as I'd wished. I'm sorry.

When we first arrived in Milton, I was
guilty of romanticising the South.

I've got to work hard now at not doing
the opposite.

Oh, no, I can't have this. Mrs Thornton
being wild is bad enough, but romantic?

No, no.

You wouldn't call Milton romantic in any
way at all, surely?

Mr Bell.

When Mother was dying, Frederick came to
Milton.

We were very secret. You know why. He
left before the funeral.

I went with him to the station and we
were seen by Mr Thornton.

I see.

You were seen embracing at the station
late at night, oh, I see. No, no, that's

not the worst of it.

A man approached Frederick, someone that
knew him.

He fell and died later.

Someone had seen me, and I had to lie to
the police inspector.

Why, I don't quite see the problem.
Frederick didn't cause this man's death.

No, no, I lied.

I was worried because Frederick was
still in the country.

I lied, and Mr Thornton knows it.

Is Frederick safe now?

Yes.

Yes, he's married now, settled down in
Cadiz.

Sometimes I think I'll never see him
again.

But that's not why you're upset.

No.

It's just... I hate to think...

I hate to think that Mr Thornton thinks
badly of me.

Are you sure that's all?

I thought it was going to be such a
lovely day.

Look, perhaps I could have a word with
Thornton.

Though I'm afraid he doesn't think very
much of me. Oh, no, no. I don't want him

to know about Fred.

I do sometimes wish he knew, but don't
say anything, please.

I don't know what I want.

Very well.

Let us... think of other things.

You know, Margaret, I had an idea when
your father died of looking

after you.

You have?

You are.

No, you don't quite understand.

I rather hoped you would wish to look
after me as well.

I never thought I'd have a wife.

Too busy being an ox. and academic.

Anyway, I hope.

Oh, but that doesn't matter.

I promised your father I would take care
of you. Now, I had often thought how

very depressing it would be if one were
to leave one's fortune to people who

were waiting around, hoping you would
die off.

So, I mean to sign over the bulk of my
money and property to you now.

Oh, no, I can't.

I will not. Yes, you will.

I am going back to South America, where
I should live out the rest of my life in

perfect peace and prosperity, knowing
that you are putting my money to good

Well, I couldn't.

Well, what about you?

Well, something I've been trying to
ignore.

My trip to London was not just to see
you, my dear. I saw my doctor.

Oh, shh.

You must think of me living the life
under the Argentine skies.

Not many men can plan their exit from
this world in such a leisurely way.

Come now, we must cheer up.

If we go now, we'll be in London in time
for dinner.

Now, I'm in very great need of good
food.

So, I'm almost at the end of sorting my
business fare.

When do you sail?

On Wednesday.

I shall be pleased to be warmed by the
sun again.

I spent much of my youth there.

Yes, I have signed all my property and
fortune to my goddaughter, Miss Hale.

I have no other family, and Hale is my
oldest friend.

But South America, when you need money
to live on.

Oh, I have sufficient for a very good
life there.

What remains?

I'm sorry.

Thank you, but don't be.

I consider myself lucky to be able to
settle my own affairs.

To know that Miss Hale is secure will
ease my heart in these last few months.

By the way, Miss Hale is unlikely to
bother you or to interfere. She is

in name only.

Even if Miss Hale were minded to
interfere, she has little enough opinion

There may not be much left for her to
interfere with.

Yes, well, I'm sorry, I'm afraid there's
nothing more I can do. I've left

business behind me.

I fail on Wednesday.

You might be mistaken, Thornton, if you
think Miss Hale has a bad opinion of

you.

And you might not judge her as harshly
as you do.

In fact... As you say, Mr. Bell, the
business in Milton is finished.

And now the future of this mill is no
concern of yours.

I'm afraid I'm busy too. Good day.

I think Margaret's looking so much
better. Don't you, Dixon?

Yes, miss.

Now we're back in London.

I'm so glad she decided to stay with us
in Harley Street.

Even though now she's quite the heiress.

She's looking much like her old self.

What do you think, Henry?

I think Margaret looks very well.

Now she's so rich.

If you don't ask her soon, we'll have a
job keeping others away.

I will try her when I'm ready.

It's really none of your concern.

As it is, I'm helping her with business
matters.

She's decided to use some of her money
to try to help Frederick.

Oh, I hope you can.

She will love you forever.

Margaret, we're engaged at the Piper's
on Saturday.

Oh, dear.

I know that look.

Margaret is about to tell us something,
and we cannot argue.

She had just the same look on her face
when he insisted on giving up dancing

lessons when we were nine.

Margaret, what's wrong?

Nothing.

But he did his right.

I'm so grateful to you, Aunt, for taking
me in.

I've been back in London for a long time
now.

I'm of age, and I am of means.

Henry is helping me to understand my
financial affairs and responsibilities.

We're trying to help Frederick.

We will probably not succeed, but it
would have pleased Mother and Father

we are trying.

Time for me to take responsibility for
my life.

You want to leave us?

Well, Sholto would cry, sir. No.

But I would like to make my own
decisions for my day -to -day life.

I would like to keep to my room if I
wish.

I would like not to go to the Pipers if
I wish, and I don't.

I can't stand them.

I don't like London society.

I learnt something when I went back to
Helfton.

Expecting it to be the paradise I knew
as a child.

Try as we might.

Happy as we were.

We can't go back.

I told you.

I was right and John was wrong.

For once, you must admit I was right.

If you'd have invested in Watson's
scheme, you'd have made thousands.

Enough to get you out of trouble.

Admit it.

I will ask Watson if he will lend John
some money.

But he was very angry when John would
not join him in the venture.

And he says a gentleman must pay his own
way.

And I think you can think again about
Anne Leppimer. I'm sure she won't have

now.

I don't mind losing the house, Moira.

I don't mind about the house.

I care about you.

My godfather's taken care of.

It'll be you and I again.

I have some excellent news.

Really? You have made money.

What, since yesterday?

When I slept?

How clever of me.

Money makes money.

I would rather earn it honestly and put
it to good use. Oh, great.

You're sounding a little... Well, I hate
to note it, but a little revolutionary.

Mr Bell was a shrewd fellow.

He bought into a hundred -to -one
investment with a chap named Watson.

Watson?

Fanny Thornton's husband?

The very one.

Being hailed as a wonder boy.

Probably a nine days wonder, but
nevertheless, Fanny struck gold.

Which is more than we can say for her
brother.

Oh?

He wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Far too principled.

Might just be the last straw.

I'm afraid you'll soon be looking for a
new tenant, Margaret.

But I hope... What has happened?

He's finishing off something.

Mr. Arnott will sometime bring her cat

into... I said have you heard

out about Miss Morgan?

Still here.

Just because it's the last shift,
Master, doesn't mean we shouldn't finish

job well.

I'm nobody's master anymore, Higgins.

If you're ever in a position to take on
workers again, there's a fair number of

us that'd be happy to run a mill for
you.

I got up a petition to collect the
names.

Anyway, I was asking about Miss
Margaret. Have you heard how she's

She's well.

She's in London.

We'll not see her again.

I thought she might have gone to Spain.

Spain? Where would she go there? Well,
to see her brother now. He's her only

family.

Her brother?

She doesn't have a brother.

Him that were over when her mother would
die.

Kept it a secret, they did.

My Mary used to fetch things for them.

She's a quiet girl, but she talks to me.

Why would Mr. Hale tell me that he had a
son?

Something to do with the law.

He found himself on the wrong side of
the Navy in real danger, he was.

He was her brother.

Well... Thorne, I'll bid you good day.

Goodbye, Higgins.

Good luck.

Henry.

I wonder, would you help me?

I've decided I need to go to Milton and
I'd like you to come with me.

Of course.

Whatever I may do, I'm at your service.

Always.

He's not here.

If you've come to crawl over him, he's
not here.

Come to look over your possessions, have
you?

When he's worked all his life for them.

You once accused me of not knowing what
kind of man I'd rejected.

And you were right.

But if you think I've come to triumph
over him, that I don't feel keenly the

misfortune of this... empty place.

Then you don't know me at all.

I don't know where he is.

Don't think I'm worried for myself.

You see me, right?

He always has.

Sorry, we're halfway back to London.

Where are you going?

To London.

I've been to Milton.

Well, I guess we're up then.

To Helston.

So there's it all gone.

Bounded in the hedgerow.

We have to look hard.

Why are we in Milton?

On business.

That is, I have a business proposition.

Do I need Henry to help me explain?

You don't need Henry to explain.

I have to get this right.

It's a business proposition.

I have some 15 ,000 pounds.

It is lying in the bank at present. I
have very little interest.

Now, my financial advisors tell me that
if you were to take this money and use

it to run Marlborough Mills, you could
give me a very much better rate of

interest. Richard!

So you see, it is only a business
matter.

You would not be obliged to me in any
way.

It is you who would be doing... me the
service.

Henry,

I... Goodbye Margaret.
