Things have changed radically since will it made you his heir.

I mean you only had the corn fort for money to be owned and your salaried pammeric was ludicrous.

Now, you'll be a downside richer than me one day, than you'll want an heir.

A son of your own.

Oh yes.

I think if you and I had had a couple of children we'd have probably stayed together.

But as it is.

It's not too late you know.

We don't have to go through the divorce.

I'm very much afraid I'd so do. It's always been too late for me.

About six months after we got married I took myself off to a baby doctor.

Of course I didn't tell you about it because at that time you were particularly thick with Rebecca and didn't notice where the hairline was.

What did he say?

Oh.

Just that yours truly was never ever going to need the services of a baby doctor.

So.

There.

And anyway we didn't really suit one another.

Did we?

And it's much more sensible to be divorced so we can go on being friends.

Right.

Well.

I'll set it up as quickly as possible then.

What's the name of this detective chap that's got to catch me at it?

Oh you love him. He's an absolute darling.

What an unholy mess.

Everything.

You know when I was in Canada the rest of the world seemed so far away one could forget it completely for months on end.

Who the hell cared what was happening on the other side of the Atlantic.

When I did think of home I'd always assumed that things were still gently jogging along.

But now we seem dead set on making the same mistakes all over again.

I've lost three sons Philip. I don't want to lose anymore.

Oh for heaven's sake don't start worrying. The army would probably refuse me anyway.

Too old. Past it.

It's not a laughing matter.

Well Jan Epps you know how impetuous he is. You'd want to be first in line if they were fighting to be done.

An Esmin will soon be old enough to volunteer.

Nonsense. Esmin's a Marquis now.

And Marquis is due not there to war.

They sleep in the house of lords or drink far too much port.

I would mind a bottle of beer myself. How about it?

Oh you wouldn't you beer?

Make it quick. Me and Mr Smith is thirsty.

It starts you mean to go on my motto.

Mrs Smith you are terrific. Where the hell did they find you?

Yes well. Trade secret isn't it?

Oh where? By the way Mr Smith.

What time is you expecting the jent in the case?

What do you mean the detective?

Don't use that word sir. Not in here.

Anybody over here is you and the law will have you for collusion and my career be ruined.

You are a very nice young lady Mrs Smith.

Yes well. I've had to work with worse than you.

Now look. Don't you go out in me no odd luck stories about wives that are in the house of the men.

They are stories about wives that don't understand you because I've heard that Tommy Rock thousand times before.

A bit some poor girls break in her ark as your ear.

You men are all the same.

Oh Em. Would the gentleman in question be a Mr Drummond?

Why?

I thought so. Ecter Drummond.

Alsace is his problem and he has to feed them regular.

So he'll be a sharpet nine.

Are you like ready for the naughty photographs?

Rebecca.

Afternoon.

How are you, Jen?

Oh fine thanks.

And you? How are the children?

They're both well.

Deborah's doing a shorthand typing course in Penn's hands.

She doesn't like it much.

Jonas is still doing well at school.

So you're all alone during the day?

Yes. I'm alone.

No longer just now.

But today when we met, I wanted you so much.

I've always wanted you.

Oh.

Jonas will be home soon.

Jen.

We could be married soon couldn't we?

Well when the absolute's through, we have a good salary from Phillip and we could live here.

But you're free now.

What's to stop us from marrying?

I think we would quarrel over Janice.

But why should we?

But he'd be different if he saw we were happy together.

He could always go away to school.

He's a good boy really, Jan.

He'd be different if there was a man in the house he could treat as a father.

Well it's...

It's a difficult situation.

It needs a lot of thought.

But perhaps we might get married quite soon.

Darling, I only just got one marriage behind me.

But before I get mad a second time, I've got to make sure it doesn't go wrong again.

Just give it a little time, huh?

Good morning.

You know my nephew, Esman.

Mr. and Mrs. Perwink, the mark was of my client.

How'd you do?

Oh, I remember you, you know it when you were no more a seven-er-eight.

You had a kite, you know, and that got caught up against a great alum.

I was a little bit scared.

I was a little scared.

You had a kite, you know, and that got caught up against a great alum.

Mr. Phillip had a claim, close on.

50 feet to bring it down for you.

Yes, of course I remember that kite.

And Uncle Phillip tanned me because I was playing in out of bounds territory.

Tanned you?

Did I really?

Yes, you did.

They're riding out again.

It's good for Phillip, he hates an activity.

I've not been seeing these boards, is it?

They're not bored exactly.

You can't disguise the fact, he's rather restless.

Oh, look at it, it's really made enormous efforts to come to terms with a way of life that can never fulfill him as Senn and Garpt did.

I sometimes thought Senn and Garpt wasn't so much a passion or even an obsession with a lot of disease.

It's why these visits to Bessmann were so valuable.

They have an awful lot in common.

I think...

You've managed quite extraordinarily well.

Oh, Vin and I are going to have a holiday, a proper holiday for the first time ever.

We booked a suite on the Queen Mary, and we're going to stay off in New York next month.

Oh, that's no more than you deserve.

Oh, there we go.

I'm not struggling, ain't it? For a man.

There's a lot of argument localist to how the name came about.

Most people reckon it was because it was always such a ding-dong battle to make the mind pain he divisred ends the talk.

Kind of a likely story.

Well, there you are. If you can come up with a better notion, I would be glad to hear it.

Do you want to go further?

Sure. How did you...

Well, when it goes to the next level, beyond that it's blocked off.

Oh, this.

All right, I'll go first.

Don't you clown board until you hear me holler. All right?

All right.

It's a bit dusty down here.

But the air's fresh enough. All right, you can start climbing now.

All right.

Fine, thank you.

Just against that, isn't it?

No.

Oh, my God. I'm coming!

Go to seek!

John!

Is it my mom?

Is it my mom?

Is it my mom?

Yes, ma'am.

Is it my mom?

Yes, ma'am.

We were a ding-dong.

You weren't Philip.

This has always been such a safe little shaft.

And so, we didn't bother to rope up.

The ladder was rotten and came away from the wall.

He fell.

He fell off.

I ran off to get some rope and tried to get down to him.

There was nothing I could do.

There was nothing I could do.

There was nothing I could do.

There was nothing I could do.

It was going to tell them not.

I can't, Jenny.

Of course you can't.

And no one would expect it to.

It's been dreadful for you either.

I can't.

If it had been anyone else,

I would feel it was my duty to break the news.

But with Janet...

Surely you must realise that, Jan.

I'm not a son. You are.

I'm the only one she has now.

I'm not going to leave it to waste, am I?

No.

I'm not going to leave it to waste, am I?

She's an old lady, Jan.

And as such, she's far more used to the idea of death than people of...

Well, our age.

She's been through all kinds of hell in her time and come through on the other side.

And she'll get through this too.

But you must tell her.

I'm not going to leave it to you.

Mama?

The kitchen, my love.

Zetti's off day.

Hello, Mama.

Just in time for cup of tea.

Would you like something stronger?

What's the matter?

I think you should sit down.

It's Philip, isn't it?

I suppose it was in the mine.

It's been a miracle he's lived so long, really.

I've sometimes thought it would have been better if he died at St. Garth.

With troubles.

You and me?

Do you think I was blind?

I didn't notice he was never away from the...

...surly little minor.

What matters is that it was happy with him, Mama.

Yes, yes, he was. That's all that matter.

I think I will have a brandy number, lovey. Just behind you.

Bye.

I know it.

I never said anything to him about troubles.

What had been wrong to interfere, wouldn't it?

Only love Eleanor, a little.

I was wrong about her.

She was always to reserve a booker.

He needed someone.

There was a day, you know.

I heard Philip talking in here.

I thought it was Eleanor.

I found him.

With that awful, repulsive little man.

He was just looking.

Looking.

I tried so hard not to mind. You don't understand, Johnny.

I only wanted him to be happy.

Yes, Mama, I understand.

Then what went wrong?

Where did I go wrong?

This latest will was of course drawn up by Philip without my knowledge.

But it's perfectly legal, in respect.

Why did he change his mind?

About cutting out young Jonas and naming you.

Did you know?

Yes, I know.

I see.

This is going to come as a great blow to Rebecca.

Still believes Jonas to be Philip's heir.

And wretched child thought that it is right a long time ago as a whole of Eleanor Lyle.

I've always found Jonas quite an agreeable boy.

And no doubt you have.

In any case, it doesn't matter if they have.

I'm going to give it to Rosalind to see your mother, Jen.

Thank you.

She'll appreciate her visit.

Eleanor?

Eleanor?

Oh, come.

As far as I'm concerned, you may stay here as long as you wish.

It's very kind of you.

After the funeral, I shall go abroad for a while.

You know, Europe's not the most comfortable place at the moment.

The Lord God most holy, the Lord most mighty.

I spent so much of my life hating you and envying you.

Because I saw everything I wanted to be.

Nobody's able to send you here for it to themself.

Rosalind, show her Rosalind!

He violated my child!

Don't you ever say that again!

Get out of here.

I never want to see you again.

I wouldn't come here if you went on your knees and begged me.

There are plenty of other women who give me what you used to.

Younger women.

I'm going to go to the hospital.

You start all over again.

If you were prime, I think Hitler would shut up shop and take a one-way ticket to the North Puddles.

That's right, Mr. Jan.

I'm tired you can joke about it when you're looking so tired.

I am tired, and why?

You need a nice holiday.

They say, Harrogate's very nice month, though I haven't been there myself.

Oh, yeah, that is from Cornwall.

Oh, I think I should probably just get out and drive somewhere.

But if I do end up in Harrogate, Hetty, I shall send you a postcard.

I will be here.

Are you ready to order, sir?

Yes.

Charlie?

Yes, well, the gentleman in the corner is requiring his bill, dear.

If you'll excuse her.

I do hope everything's been to your set of sections.

Everything Mrs. Clay has given me the deepest satisfaction.

What about this fiancé, have you?

Keith? He's very sweet.

How old?

23.

And you're doing him?

He's steady and placid and reliable.

I think you'll board with your life at home.

And you think that marriage will give you the escape route you need.

But that's no foundation for life together.

Don't marry unless it's for love.

I married for money and a roof over my head. It was a fiasco.

So you haven't asked her to be your mistress?

Fancy. I wonder what she would say if you did?

I can't help feeling this conversation. It's just a little improper.

Well, it strikes me that Isabel is not a very reliable girl.

You may very well want to marry her for all the right reasons.

Well, she may be marrying you for all the wrong ones.

We are very eligible.

When we first met.

She didn't know who you were. Yes.

She saw the cut of your suit, didn't she?

She heard your voice when you spoke.

And what happened? She breaks her engagement.

A girl like that should be regarded with extreme suspicion.

She's done it once.

She couldn't do it again.

Mama!

We love each other.

Is that a magic spell to ward off all evil?

Oh, my dog's suppose I shall like her.

The

No.

Like this

Suddenly the

The

The

The

You're really light.

It's because she's not a bit older, of course.

I can't be old.

She's far too attractive if you must know.

Then I could hardly expect you to marry anyone clean.

At least she's no fool.

It's a little bit older than you.

I'm not a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

I'm a fool.

Becca?

Happy Bean.

Quite well, thank you.

It's good.

I heard about your engagement.

Very nice.

I'm very glad for you.

I would have written, but...

It's quite alright.

I hope you'll be very happy.

You said you had never been with a man before.

I'm sorry, Jan.

I only lied to you because I was frightened you might leave me if you knew.

I was rather naughty once and I didn't want you to know about it.

Please don't be cross.

Now let's get this straight, once and for all.

I don't want you lying to me about anything, anything at all.

I shan't be angry.

I shan't be angry that you aren't a virgin.

It's a material, but I don't want you lying.

I try to be honest with you.

Yes, Jan, darling, honestly.

I swear.

Here you go.

All right.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

All right.

Well, we both had our little friends, but we're married.

And from now on, we keep our noses clean.

Both of us.

All of us, too.

Yes, Jan.

Oh, you're so good to meet you.

I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received,

and that consequently this country is at war with Germany.

Now may God bless you all, and may he defend the right.

But it is even things that we should be fighting against.

Group force, dead faith, injustice, oppression, and persecution.

And against them, my and certain, it's a right group for men.

I'm sorry.

Well, God saved the king.

God save all of us.

So, you should worst come to worst, sir.

We have six shotguns, two sporting rifles, and an elderly pistol in the house.

So long as you're here, Medlin, I think we can rely on the safety and the environment.

Thanks, Aaron.

Thank you, Jan.

There we are, isn't it?

So we're all excited then.

Your only question is how to break the leaves.

Who's that for?

That's for absent friends.

You know, the last show is all very simple for me.

Mike was pretty awful at home.

The listment seemed to marvus way out.

So I just went off one morning to the nearest recruiting office.

My father didn't even know where I'd gone until he got up.

He led it from the imprise.

It's already different for you, Jan.

You've got commitments.

You know, the two of you are really going to have to be more careful.

I could see that light nearly half a mile away.

But this black eye doesn't seem so stupid, Mr. Jan.

I thought the Germans want to drop bombs here.

You can't have one more for Cornwall and another for the rest of the country.

Thank you, Hetty.

Do you think you could make us a pot of tea?

Tea?

Oh, yes, it's cold.

Thank you, dear.

Oh, the two of you going to manage when I'm not always able to come round and check on things.

No, what do you mean?

Turn use?

I'm joining the airport next week.

I've never heard such nonsense in all my life.

This weekend, Esmernde is attending an Air Ministry selection board.

No, boy of 18 can go ahead.

What do you think I feel about it?

Look, you may as well hear the rest.

Adrian intends to enlist his army champion.

You can't expect me to take any more, not at my age.

I just want you to understand that we have to go.

Oh, I understand that very well.

Don't you think it's all worth fighting for?

Everything that means the most to me? You!

No!

I'm not going to do it.

Everything that means the most to me? You!

You aren't hearing, Rumber.

I can tell.

You're with Esmernde and your squadron in Canada.

There's a lot of stupid boys playing at war games.

You're probably right.

I know I'm leaving the stickiest and most responsible job for you.

Looking after Penn Maric and Lamar while I'm away.

I'm moving.

And a child.

A child to look after.

It's not good as a second.

If anything should happen to me while I'm away,

I want to know that you'll have no memories and no encompasses.

You'll still be young.

And I want you to be free to live your own life.

Why do you talk like that?

You won't make a willing make you to, can I?

If I were to make a will, in some strange superstitious way,

I believe I were trying to rid myself of Penn Maric.

And that is something I do not intend to do.

I have to get back to the house.

The others will be waiting.

That's wind.

I'm like safe.

Thank you.

You're the pilot now.

I'll be back.

I hope I'll be alive to see it.

Off you go.

I'll be back.

To be next meet.

Oh, Jan.

Right then.

I'll be back.

Don't worry about it, ladies.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.
