What happens to them when they aren't

282
00:35:03,576 --> 00:35:05,297
I really don't know.
283
00:35:08,508 --> 00:35:12,637
All these huge rooms, and we live
our lives within three feet of the fire.
284
00:35:20,561 --> 00:35:22,751
Would you come with me, please?
285
00:35:29,945 --> 00:35:32,156
You're to have one month's notice.
286
00:35:36,577 --> 00:35:39,788
- You said you'd swear to tell no one.
- Yes.
287
00:35:46,586 --> 00:35:49,579
Oh! Thank you, Hannah.
288
00:35:49,683 --> 00:35:52,144
- Have I time for my tea, sir?
- Yes.
289
00:35:52,248 --> 00:35:55,094
- I'll stay till you return.
- Thank you, sir.
290
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,225
Amy, I've brought someone to see you.
291
00:36:03,352 --> 00:36:05,646
This is Miss Laurel. Please.
292
00:36:12,361 --> 00:36:14,686
This is my wife, Amelia.
293
00:36:15,416 --> 00:36:17,428
Mrs.Godwin.
294
00:36:22,663 --> 00:36:25,415
I tell Amy everything.
295
00:36:29,085 --> 00:36:33,079
She knows Louisa's my daughter.
296
00:36:33,183 --> 00:36:36,634
But I promised her that I'll
never shame her before the world.
297
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,263
No one else knows but you.
298
00:36:41,889 --> 00:36:46,477
- Does she understand what we say?
- I choose to believe that she does.
299
00:36:49,897 --> 00:36:54,579
If there's any pity in you
for my wife's wasted life-
300
00:36:55,204 --> 00:36:58,155
- swear that you'll keep our secret.
301
00:37:03,327 --> 00:37:05,412
I swear.
302
00:37:13,211 --> 00:37:15,296
Now leave us.
303
00:38:23,904 --> 00:38:26,156
Good morning, Louise.
304
00:38:40,128 --> 00:38:44,090
Do you know your ABC?
305
00:38:53,307 --> 00:38:56,936
This is "L" for Louisa.
306
00:38:58,354 --> 00:39:01,524
This is "L" for Louisa.
307
00:39:03,359 --> 00:39:05,694
Don't go.
We have work to do.
308
00:39:07,029 --> 00:39:10,282
Don't go.
We have work to do.
309
00:39:15,057 --> 00:39:19,666
- You are poor, I suppose.
- Yes.
310
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:23,711
I don't have to do what you say.
311
00:39:34,388 --> 00:39:36,995
No. You got to hoist them off.
312
00:39:38,017 --> 00:39:40,968
Bugger away, Lady. Bugger away.
Gently now.
313
00:39:41,072 --> 00:39:42,886
Come on. Do you see why?
314
00:39:42,990 --> 00:39:45,680
Frankly, I don't.
They all look good to me.
315
00:39:45,785 --> 00:39:47,724
You've a superb flock here.
316
00:39:47,828 --> 00:39:51,811
Well, I should have. I've been breeding
the imperfections out for 15 years.
317
00:39:51,916 --> 00:39:54,230
This one's a perfect breeding ewe.
318
00:39:54,335 --> 00:39:57,376
See how the chine runs straight from the
nape of the neck to the sitting of the tail.
319
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,404
Good wide hips, straight forelegs,
plenty of wool between the ears.
320
00:40:01,508 --> 00:40:04,782
Look into her eyes sweet,
gentle disposition.
321
00:40:04,886 --> 00:40:07,639
She'll feed well,
fatten well and lamb well.
322
00:40:07,743 --> 00:40:09,911
- Go on.
- Good morning, Miss Laurier.
323
00:40:09,935 --> 00:40:11,681
Mr.Taylor.
324
00:40:11,705 --> 00:40:14,635
Have you come to admire the Southdowns too?
325
00:40:15,344 --> 00:40:19,421
No, sir.
I've come for Mr.Godwin's instructions.
326
00:40:19,526 --> 00:40:21,632
Don't you fight, now. Oh.
327
00:40:21,736 --> 00:40:24,906
- Well?
- Am I to teach Miss Louisa, sir-
328
00:40:25,010 --> 00:40:28,409
- if even only for one month?
- Yes.
329
00:40:28,513 --> 00:40:31,266
Then I must be able to
keep her in the schoolroom.
330
00:40:31,370 --> 00:40:33,831
What forms of discipline
am I permitted to use?
331
00:40:33,935 --> 00:40:38,408
None. If her lessons give her no pleasure,
why should she endure them? No.
332
00:40:41,807 --> 00:40:44,841
She'll find out soon enough
what a hard world we live in.
333
00:40:44,946 --> 00:40:49,043
For these few short years that she's
under my care, I want her to be happy.
334
00:40:50,461 --> 00:40:53,548
- Is that clear?
- Yes sir.
335
00:40:57,635 --> 00:40:59,720
Steady.
336
00:41:01,681 --> 00:41:04,715
- No.
- Fair enough, now?
337
00:41:04,819 --> 00:41:08,719
- A bit and turn around. Come on.
Turn around. - Yeah. - That's it.
338
00:41:08,823 --> 00:41:11,346
Let me out!
I want to see my father! Let me out!
339
00:41:11,450 --> 00:41:13,849
Come on!
You gotta let me out! Let me out!
340
00:41:13,953 --> 00:41:16,747
I want my pa!
Come on! I want my pa!
341
00:41:16,851 --> 00:41:19,562
Let me out now!
I want my pa!
342
00:41:19,667 --> 00:41:22,826
- Let me out!
- After you've done your lessons.
343
00:41:25,745 --> 00:41:28,621
Let me out!
I want my pa! Just let me out now!
344
00:41:28,645 --> 00:41:31,043
I want him! Hey!
Let me out!
345
00:41:40,801 --> 00:41:45,441
- What's that?
- Uh,
