[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

excuse me one moment

hmm they sing so freely don't they must

be the country error I suppose

he's a talent mm-hmm Shawn check that

out you know no oh so I gather of course

you must understand it was Hilda's plan

to go out there I merely fell in with it

simplest thing to do in these cases

certainly I say old chap that night when

I was in hospital when I was

surprisingly calmly convinced I was

about to discover there was no afterlife

when you were good enough to step across

to my office to burn those letters under

and photographs why have you never

happened to mention that you met a

certain person

[Music]

course there's no earthly business of

mine naturally only one was quite safe

in your hands I've reassured the lady

[Music]

afraid not then interrupt I see you're

in the thick of it you don't be the same

of already finished explaining to mrs.

Dhamma how she ought to run my house for

me

um how soon do you mean to have this

table clear that table will be clear

that but it won't disturb me to have it

clear only mrs. Dharma does want to get

on with her washing up now look here

madam I got a little ray of sunshine and

all that time the fastest age but I have

noticed your critical eye surveying the

Untied inner survival and I have to tell

you that I'm not your husband I don't

say you'd be sorry for any woman I was

the husband of think of something more

original

I only popped in to say that it's nearly

a quarter to three and George and I will

go down to the inn and bring the

dog-cart up here you like a walk we

should only get to him after dark as it

is Oh Chauncey to stop for tea you know

we'll be forgiven drive home in the dark

not much he's afraid of my driving

I don't think we should get away while

it's still light yes I don't get the

card

you two can get on the dorms masculine

talk shop alone I hear he's going to

London when he leaves school then London

to study architecture under Dave Johnny

or grave oh yes it's more than I hear

anyway but still Who am I

her husband is in a lunatic asylum I may

tell you who's the young woman in

question really it's a boy I didn't meet

her at a concert on the grand canal or

anything of that sort I met her in a

mill at Oldham while I was doing my job

he was the boss of the mill I walked

into the office and he was lying on the

floor on the flat of his back and she

was wiping her feet on his chest

and he was saying to learn a very

anxious tone you want half wiping them

harder harder that was his little

weakness you see he happened to be

convinced that he was a young dormant

she'd been hiding the thing for weeks

going with him to the works and so on to

calm him I never saw a more awful thing

in my life I never saw a more awful

thing in miner course

person tumbled to it the matter of that

didn't want much tumbling - he went

raving mad on that same afternoon need

to be more or less raving mad ever since

what a ghastly business any children No

thank God

don't you forget you still the wife of

that linen dignity I'll probably live

forever she's tied up to him just as if

she's tied up to a post windows there

are divorce laws isn't it appalling

isn't it in conceivably just think of

the situation of that woman walking

quite alone in the world you know I mean

I'm kind of I know what she would have

done without me she hadn't a friend can

reach and a friend with a grain of sense

it's astonishing how solitary some

couples are - die frightfully she's much

younger than she looks

happily there was a bit of money enough

in fact he's got an absolute devotion

how I envy him yeah do I understand

she's living in the five towns now yeah

that you never know your luck

she's been free I might have been fool

enough to get married what is their

thing mostly our food we married why

marriage isn't worth the price to me

that is the fact is my boy I think my

freedom is worth a bit more than I could

get out of any marriage that's all very

well but Luke what you miss whoa can you

live what's the matter with it no one

has a more comfortable bed more

comfortable boots and I have how many

women can make coffee as good as mine no

well whatever bone could make

first-class tea I have everything I want

no you don't know what's the good of

talking about coffee and tea and

comfortable very much else is that I

want that I haven't got I mean if you

read I'd see cushions and draperies know

what I mean all right and then freedom

as you say what do you mean by freedom

me what you'd call physical freedom I

mean I give that up I like a bit of an

tightness for instance and I don't

regard the absence of dust as the

greatest thing in the world but I

wouldn't have least my giving all that I

wouldn't really matter to me what I

won't give up is my intellectual freedom

perhaps only my intellectual honesty

respect que no intellectual honesty in

marriage that can't be at the whole

affair is a series of compromises

chiefly based on the part of the man are

the only alternative his total

subjection of the woman and that is

offensive I couldn't have that no woman

not altogether a slave ever here's a

truce except in anger don't say the same

about a man and you know it I'm not

blaming I'm stating even supposing a

married man has a few advantages that I

miss they're all purely physical oh no

my boy

I thought analyse and I know that all

physical all and I'll tell you I won't

pay the place for I won't

I've never had the grievance against

women I can enjoy being with women as

much as anybody but I won't I will not

live permanently on their level okay

that's why I say I should have been a

fool to get married it's quite simple

oh dear what a shame I was just getting

going on a Pitt subject not that I'm

attempting to persuade you of course

every word I say applies only to me

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Music]

Oh

what you doing here to you oh wait

waiting for you how long you been here

messes said back there four o'clock

always after sex what on earth would

punch pins been empty since o'clock on

earth didn't you go into the kitchen as

I told you still catching your death of

cold in the porch hmm no one summer no

answer I've been wrangling knocking 15

times no one talked

but I told me to be back at verse 3 when

Pastor Joe girl got to I told her

particularly half-past three I told her

to light the fire from there forty

making you really cannot trust owners to

do anything these days I hope you've got

your latchkey Edwin I am

our Fraser Christmas has been a bit

spoiled stable yours quickly as you can

and should offer Oh

I wish you could control yourself that a

servant is a bit late on Christmas Day

it's no excuse for you to behave like a

spoiled child you're offensive yes

that's just like you that is I said my

servant to your sister

she doesn't send them back so it's my

fault I should have thought those best

boys twisted around their little fingers

quite enough don't having jun-suk me

because of it I'm goodness knows what

tricks they didn't play to get all

rounds money every penny of it and now

they make you do all the work of your

state for our benefit and of course you

do it like a harm image of time from the

office movie but you could spend hours

and hours my auntie Hobson state and for

those members but I don't see why you

should have told me all the doublet you

knit me

[Music]

that's the end of it

my marriage was a mistake

oh it's not this quarrel Wade get over

this get over all this I dare say and

then there be others and other still and

each one bigger than the last

no she just won't alter her ways and I

stand for them whatever happens it's

over or soon will be

there's no controlling forces as strong

as that bet something smashes there's no

help for it

it's in the office in there I first

kissed her

course she can't help being a self but

what's that got to do with me

she's never been like normal she never

has God's sake look at the first night I

saw her the way she ran after me into

that porch and all those peculiar things

she asked I don't really mean it when I

said there was no virtue in believing it

was the most wonderful thing she'd ever

heard

she's just have normal there's no

questioning that well what about that

whole George

Cameron affair what normal woman would

have got mixed up there she just can't

see reason she doesn't know what it is

she wants a thing she must have it she

can't understand any point of view but

her own she's just a wild unscrupulous

artist

how dare she scream on about grantees

will it wasn't his money tolling but she

praised and in any case it's hardly the

been Bo's fault I can't abide that kind

of jealousy it's the mark of a mean and

petty mind no use trying to explain or

argue with her she doesn't argue she

feels nine cases from 10 her feelings

around she's no conception of moderation

or consideration oh no she expects it

from others but he gives back known she

wanted Orson trap a game or one fine way

she chose to repay that not a thought

for the fact we needed the author at the

works or for the hours she kept lunch

been out teaching her and Lucas he

treated on spin today she said she

didn't feel at home while Maggie owned

the apps so I bought the house from

Maggie now what does she want another

house not a house no no a blasted estate

the beach in or seat with a servants all

now her thought for me trekking from the

ear to ear and back to their every

blasted day and such a childish way to

go about it to not openly said not

I found out I want you to buy know all

covered up there's a silly surprise take

an ink pen with us to tie my hands

there's no other word for it

infantile there's no excuse for than

ever will be she's impossible

and she'll become more so that she's not

responsible but I don't care I resent

her I hate in pens rate about marriage

he says he won't pay the price well I

won't either the end has come

I shall have my Liberty again and not

just the liberty of you so know all the

knowledge and experience to use it no I

shall manage even better learning pen I

know what a home is is how we taught to

be run behind the veil they should be he

says they don't like to hear that but he

he's got things right that mysterious

woman who was waiting for him perhaps I

might even foreign well what does that

matter whether or not to find anything

course she'll be free when I think I'm

all she's done to me those moves those

tricks that stupidity life will be good

and simple and I shall be free

is it possible

creatures capable of emotion like that

she'll be compelled to cook my bacon and

black my boots

catch me both of you and she jumped and

I caught

how incredible that a woman as harsh as

a selfish as a is overbearing as Oh

could seem so fragile in my arms she did

them why not humour her let her have the

house don't god no why should I

well does it matter so much to me where

I live I don't exist on that level I

could adapt couldn't I

after all the journey wouldn't take that

long perhaps not a motor-car no but a

fast awesome trap clangers trap he draws

from leverage in 35 minutes the or

simply won't walk doesn't know how

what a pleasure it would be to grant it

to her to grant her Caprice if it gives

her joy why not give it oh yes I can see

I've ever made

if elder wasn't what she is if she

wasn't unreasonable and I'm just like

she is there be no merit in giving in to

her she is unreasonable she is unjust

what's the use of objecting to any of

that it's like some child trying to stop

the rain but if I can give in when she's

like she is then that's an achievement

to build a life on if I can give in to

that it's a victory Oh be beaten by her

here the least she did you did the wise

thing Maggie you did the worst thing

I'll tell you that

what's the occasion do you know there is

one not specially except miss Manor host

of course that blonde young lady from

Copenhagen good a man is Swettenham

isn't she - clever girl speaks four

languages they say so they say of course

Swettenham very well

perhaps Hill has decided it's time she

showed them I don't think so Clara well

I daresay could be as they were settled

on a date for the moon

oh no she may think it settle but I'm

sure it's not everyone's very student

when he wants to be Maggie dear could

you make the fire a bit and there was

it's April but I'm quite shivering but

you have had a journey today and

everything oh it is so lovely having you

come to stay I never did come across

such a dancer yes she's a great dancer

isn't she she makes you think it

everyone says he's a dreadful Rick I'm

shall I write - yes I suppose he is

see you've got a Rosetti mm-hmm everyone

gave it me he's gradually giving me all

my private parts but it had much time to

read it lately I suppose it's this idea

of moving into the country that makes me

so Restless it is it settled in there oh

yeah

I'm determined to take him away right

out of all this I think it'll be a good

thing for him he doesn't mind really

he's promised me only he must make sure

of selling this house first for letting

it he's very cautious edwin is simply

hates doing a thing straight off yes he

is rather that way right yes I wanted

him to take lad Ridge at once even if we

couldn't move in immediately what we

can't move in was it the repairs and

things then take a five time I know we

can get it for sixty pounds a year what

is sixty pounds more or less - Edmund

huh but no he wouldn't he wants to make

sure where he stands but this house

first

can talk to him you know

so you're discussing a ooh you know

worse than a woman

I suppose you meant led to be very

severe you want to know we were talking

about latter äj--

they apologize curious that's just what

I came in about I've been trying to get

a chance to tell you all night there's

somebody else after Ladd Ridge a man

from X he's been to see it twice this

week so I thought I'd to be the wink you

know how do you told Edwin yes what's he

say Reese's is a dodge of the house

agents to quicken things up you think it

is well I don't know that's why I

thought I'd warn you is lordship being

what he is yeah I'm not gonna be caught

in sparring with you it's more than my

place is worth

I go

you think you can stand the scene

tomorrow see between Edwin and me I am

absolutely determined we shall take

ladder Ridge and I do not care how much

of a row we have over it is it as bad as

all that yes it is I could just see it

if we do not take ladder at all we will

simply go on living in Trafalgar Road

Bursley for Emma and Emma I I was

wondering the other day after one of

your letters well hi you were so anxious

to go into the country I thought you

wanted Edwin to be on the Town Council

or something of that kind

how can he do that if you're right aware

of this so I should like him to be on

the council but all I really want is to

get him away from his business you know

no dammit

nobody knows except me Edwin will soon

be a slave of that business if he

carries on I don't mean says late at

night but it he scares me ever does that

and he's always thinking about it he

cannot bear to be one minutes late for

it everything in the world must give way

to it he takes that as a matter of

course and what annoys me is there's no

reason for it seeing how much he trusts

Simpson than that big James I believe

he'd do anything the world forbid James

he listened to be James far sooner than

he listened to me disagreeable fawning

old man fights Jimmy I would tell you

how it looks on his home Edwin looks on

his home as a nice place to be quiet

when he isn't that the worst tell him

straight out one of these days he's very

good Edwin is in all the little things

he always tries to be just but he simply

is not just in the big thing he's most

frightfully unjust

I sometimes wonder where he thinks I

come in

oh of course he'd do any mortal thing

for me except spare - minute from the

works what am i care about money I don't

care that much about money if there's

money I can spend it that's all but I'd

rather be poor and Edwin to be rude and

cross an impatient which of course he

scarcely ever is then have this feeling

all the time that is words words words

and everything else comes after that I

don't mind for myself well I don't

really maybe just a little but I do my

friend

I call it humiliating for a man to get

like that it turns everything upside

down now you'll never see me transferred

in for example there's a pretty specimen

and it already has banned him some but

everyone says how funny steven is of his

wife oh and isn't edwin fond of me

steven chasman and despises his wife oh

he can't do without her that's all he

treats recording actually the same suit

oh yes I shall yes I shall but I won't I

won't have it

no I should rather be married to a rake

like Charles Burns he is not a slave to

his business anyhow I shall get evan

further away I have made up my mind

about that and when I've got him away I

shall see that he does not work on

Saturdays as well the Town Council he

can be on the County Council that's

quite as good I hope well over i've got

rid of this house for you

here are the deluded victims we've seen

every corner of it mrs. clay hanger it's

lovely but how can you wish to leave it

say anything until it was settled for

disappointment he'll buy it if I leave

course he wanted missus to have a good

look at it first
