181
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:11,326

182
00:09:11,326 --> 00:09:12,894
You spooked my horse.

183
00:09:12,894 --> 00:09:16,564
You spooked your horse
yourself.

184
00:09:16,564 --> 00:09:18,299
And what do you want?

185
00:09:18,299 --> 00:09:20,068
I've got the bits
you ordered from
Master Merriman, sir.

186
00:09:20,068 --> 00:09:23,238
Give it here, then.

187
00:09:23,238 --> 00:09:24,605

for payment, sir.

190

tugging at the rope,
trying to get away.

193
00:09:41,389 --> 00:09:43,859
But then the horrible
Jiggy Nye raised his whip...

194
00:09:43,859 --> 00:09:48,363
Felicity. Felicity.

195
00:09:48,363 --> 00:09:50,731

196
00:09:50,731 --> 00:09:52,934
Thank you, Rose.

197
00:09:52,934 --> 00:09:54,735
Nye was such
a decent fellow.

198
00:09:54,735 --> 00:09:55,937
'Tis a shame indeed.

199
00:09:55,937 --> 00:09:58,339

no one knew horses as well.

200
00:09:58,339 --> 00:10:01,142
But then his wife passed on,
and he began drinking,
and I...

201
00:10:01,142 --> 00:10:05,046
Perhaps we could choose
a more suitable
mealtime topic.

202
00:10:05,046 --> 00:10:06,647
You're quite right,
my dear.

203
00:10:06,647 --> 00:10:09,951
Felicity, your father and I
have a surprise for you.

204
00:10:09,951 --> 00:10:12,854
A surprise?
May I have one?

205
00:10:12,854 --> 00:10:14,722
It's for her birthday.

206
00:10:14,722 --> 00:10:17,192
Now that you're 10,
we've decided

207
00:10:17,192 --> 00:10:21,129

to begin your education.

208

apprenticed like Ben?

Oh, shall I be
working in your store?

210
00:10:25,633 --> 00:10:27,768
Goodness, no.

211
00:10:27,768 --> 00:10:30,838
You are to be educated
as a gentlewoman.

212
00:10:30,838 --> 00:10:32,540
I don't want to be
a gentlewoman.

213
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:33,508
I do.

214
00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:37,012
You'll have your turn
when you're 10.

215
00:10:37,012 --> 00:10:41,216
Felicity, your lessons
will begin in two days.

216
00:10:41,216 --> 00:10:43,985
You will be educated
by a very respectable lady

217
00:10:43,985 --> 00:10:45,753
named Miss Frances Manderly.

218
00:10:45,753 --> 00:10:50,058
She will instruct you
in penmanship, dance,
stitchery,

219
00:10:50,058 --> 00:10:51,559

Lessons on how to serve tea?

222
00:10:54,229 --> 00:10:58,066
A lady's manners are judged
by the way she serves tea.

223
00:10:58,066 --> 00:11:01,036
My mother brought
her best teapot with her

224
00:11:01,036 --> 00:11:03,504
when she came to Virginia
from England.

225
00:11:03,504 --> 00:11:04,973
She used to always say,

226
00:11:04,973 --> 00:11:07,642
"The King himself
would be at home
at my tea table."

227
00:11:07,642 --> 00:11:10,445
I don't see why anybody
would want the King
at their tea table.

228
00:11:10,445 --> 00:11:12,213
I beg your pardon?

(MR. MERRIMAN CLEARS THROAT)

230
00:11:13,648 --> 00:11:16,985
Ben, I wonder if you
would be kind enough

231
00:11:16,985 --> 00:11:18,853
to escort Felicity
to her lesson?

232
00:11:18,853 --> 00:11:19,988
Aye, sir.

233
00:11:19,988 --> 00:11:21,656
Why do I need an escort?

234
00:11:21,656 --> 00:11:26,027
A young lady
does not arrive unescorted
at a gathering. Thank you.

235
00:11:26,027 --> 00:11:29,830
And a young lady does not
constantly ask questions.

236
00:11:29,830 --> 00:11:34,169
Why not?

239
00:11:50,551 --> 00:11:53,888
Only a soldier can use it
in case of emergency.

240
00:11:53,888 --> 00:11:55,490
You're no soldier.

241

242
00:11:57,025 --> 00:11:59,760
This is
serious business.

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,563
A little whistle?

244
00:12:02,563 --> 00:12:05,000
Soon, it won't matter
if you know
how to serve tea.

245
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,367
It will be
too expensive to buy,

246
00:12:06,367 --> 00:12:09,470
thanks to the King
and his ridiculous tax.

247
00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:12,473
You'd best not say
any disrespectful things

248
00:12:12,473 --> 00:12:14,375
about the King
in front of Grandfather.

249
00:12:14,375 --> 00:12:16,144
Disrespectful?

250
00:12:16,144 --> 00:12:17,912
Is it not disrespectful
of the King to tax us

251
00:12:17,912 --> 00:12:19,447
without listening
to our voices?

To be able to fight
for our independence.

255
00:12:33,428 --> 00:12:38,066
Grandfather says
nothing is worth
going to war over.

256

Miss Merriman,

297
00:14:28,409 --> 00:14:31,312
you are not drinking
because you are thirsty,

you are hungry.

as a sign of your

301
00:14:39,854 --> 00:14:48,129
If you refuse them,
you are refusing

Yes. Thank you,

There is a polite way
to show you've had enough.

307
00:15:02,877 --> 00:15:07,014
You merely turn your cup
upside down

308

on your saucer and
place your spoon across it.

309
00:15:11,819 --> 00:15:15,022

to accompany this gesture is,

00:15:15,022 --> 00:15:17,792
"Thank you.
I shall take no tea."

She needs me so.

381
00:20:05,746 --> 00:20:07,381

she belongs to someone else.

403
00:21:03,070 --> 00:21:05,039
Aye. Last November.

404
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,676
The young hotheads threw
crates of tea into the river

405
00:21:08,676 --> 00:21:10,745
just like those rebels
in Boston.

406
00:21:10,745 --> 00:21:12,179
It was a disgrace.

407
00:21:12,179 --> 00:21:14,682
They simply do not want
the King's taxes, sir.

Not at the cost
of their own liberty.

to such talk

Your father and Ben
are Patriots.

They believe
that the colonies

should be independent
of the King.

428

1100

I would think that
you would hate that man.

1108
01:00:25,430 --> 01:00:27,399
I was there when he screamed
unspeakable things at you

1409
01:20:52,589 --> 01:20:54,591
No need, Merriman.

1410
01:20:54,591 --> 01:21:00,997
Your girl has taught me
a thing or two about kindness.

1411
01:21:00,997 --> 01:21:05,336
Mr. Nye, if you're
not otherwise engaged,

1412
01:21:05,336 --> 01:21:11,108
would you do my family
the honor of joining us
for Christmas supper?

1413
01:21:11,108 --> 01:21:21,051
Oh, thank you.

1416
01:21:29,593 --> 01:21:31,795
FELICITY: Christmas
had come at last.

1417
01:21:31,795 --> 01:21:34,831
And as I watched
our friends and our family

1418
01:21:34,831 --> 01:21:37,368
gathered together
in celebration,

1419
01:21:37,368 --> 01:21:41,205
I realized that
it didn't matter
if we were Loyalists

1420
01:21:41,205 --> 01:21:43,440
or if we were Patriots,

1421
01:21:43,440 --> 01:21:47,578
because on that night,
in that room,

1422
01:21:47,578 --> 01:21:52,183
we were together as one.

To our family.

1426
01:22:07,798 --> 01:22:12,869
Those who are kin,
and those who have chosen
to live in our home.

1427

And to those who no longer
sit at our table

1428
01:22:15,906 --> 01:22:19,876
but will forevermore
be in our hearts.

1429
01:22:19,876 --> 01:22:22,946
And to Christmas,

1430
01:22:22,946 --> 01:22:26,817
a time of love,
a time of peace,

1431
01:22:26,817 --> 01:22:28,552
a time of hope.

where our journeys led us,

we would always
have in our hearts
