00:30:44Why I can give you a song
00:30:51Where three drunken maidens lived on the Isle of Wight they drunk from Sunday morning not stop till Saturday night
00:30:58Then Saturday night to come around the girls
00:31:01They wouldn't go home then those three drunken maidens push the jug about your honor that you learn that in a pub, of course
00:31:09Then where are you

00:31:21Do you any trouble is you don't know what you'll do next I seem to recall she was always
00:31:38From
00:31:45What I hear Julius last night was a little short of a bacchanalian debauch
00:31:50Who told you that mother?
00:31:52She has one of her sick headaches
00:31:58So Bella morning grandma morning uncle JJ
00:32:08I gather your behavior last night young lady left a lot to be desired. I would have said Harry enjoyed himself
00:32:14That's not what I heard
00:32:17Excuse me
00:32:21Anyway sib solved one problem last night indeed the future she should be an actress
00:32:28Are you suggesting my granddaughter should be an actress? She has a talent for it. I could introduce it go on the stage
00:32:36I'd rather see her with her hair shown off and shut up in a convent
00:33:06I
00:33:16Enjoyed myself last night. I thought we got on jolly well together didn't you?
00:33:23Miss Mel
00:33:26Sibylla
00:33:27I've been thinking well looks aren't everything and um come to the point Frank
00:33:33Well now this fellow Harry has gone
00:33:37You should pay some heed to my attention. Do you mean your attentions or your intentions?
00:33:41At the conclusion of the coming year. I will be returning to England and I expect you to return with me as my wife
00:33:49Well, what do you say
00:33:52Not until I have your answers
00:34:03I
00:34:10Well there is this in your favor
00:34:12You don't say you were sorry when you're not why should I pretend about a person like Frank Horton?
00:34:17But you're not prepared to apologize. Oh
00:34:21You're not and I thought that you liked him liked him. He appears to be extremely fond of you
00:34:27Now listen to me Sibylla
00:34:29In a few years, he'll come into quite a large fortune in England
00:34:32He comes of a very good family and I'll make someone an excellent husband. Well, it won't be me
00:34:38Do be realistic child. I am
00:34:41To begin with I don't love him. That is not the point. Well, it is to me
00:34:47Sibylla, do you want to be a burden on your family forever with no status in decent society or a home of your own?
00:34:53I will not be married off to someone I detest by you or anybody
00:34:57And
00:34:59Times I fear for you my girl you are rude to your elders and betters and often like old gentility
00:35:10Very well
00:35:14Now you may not be prepared to apologize to Frank I expect you to apologize to me
00:35:20when you have regained your
00:35:22humor and
00:35:23your manners
00:35:27You
00:35:35Must learn not to shout at your grandmother Sibylla. I didn't mean to
00:35:41It just surges up in me when she starts on about marriage
00:35:45She just doesn't seem to understand sit down here next to me
00:35:49Come on
00:35:51I
00:35:54Believe me Sibylla the best kind of marriage
00:35:58Is not love marriage, but friendship marriage friendship. Yes
00:36:05You see
00:36:08Your mother married for love
00:36:13And I
00:36:16Too
00:36:19Married for love
00:36:25My husband isn't dead
00:36:28He he left me for someone else
00:36:34Left me to live the rest of my life with the
00:36:37The shame of being neither wife nor widow
00:36:42nor maid
00:36:45But why should you be ashamed
00:36:49Marriage gives us respectability dear as you'll learn. No, that is just what men want us to believe
00:36:56Stupid idiots like like Frank Horton. Well, I won't be caught up in it not by him or anyone
00:37:09Aunt Helen, please. Please stop trying to marry me off
00:37:19Well, I suppose I should
00:37:24Tear up this invitation then from miss Augusta be to stay a few days at five pop

00:37:36I
00:37:47Hear you've made a lot of changes at five for mr. Beecham. Oh, yes we have
00:37:58Must have been hard for you when your father died
00:38:00I
00:38:04Drive
00:38:30I
00:38:57Dear Lucy's daughter

00:39:05A pity
00:39:08Well come in
00:39:13Come along child, I'm not going to eat you

00:40:46Fancy living in it. Do you know get lost?
00:40:52Wouldn't know what to do with all those servants. I wouldn't even know what groceries to order I
00:40:56I

00:41:19The fortune
00:41:27I
00:41:30Don't have to look for water and dried-up Creek
00:41:42Like all our countrymen forced on the road to beg perhaps they're meant to counterbalance the ugly things of life
00:41:56I
00:42:26You
00:42:28You know, I think ugly girls should be strangled at birth by their parents
00:42:33It's bad enough being born a girl but being born ugly and clever
00:42:39Never are you well, I hope so I'm done for if I'm not has to be something I'm good at
00:42:48They're sure to be

00:44:54Perhaps I should cut it all off
00:44:56No, dear to be a pity to lose your finest asset
00:45:10Must be contagious sir
00:45:13washing one's hair
00:45:15Or did you by chance have an accident at the river? No, no
00:45:20I don't wish to hear the details
00:45:23Well as you both seem able to entertain yourselves I'll see to dinner I
00:45:43Was worried when I couldn't see you when I came to the surface I
00:45:47Thought you might have drowned

01:00:57Know he can marry anyone. I know

01:02:41Would you come into dinner everyone
01:02:55I
01:03:25I
01:03:41See the furloughs bought himself a very fine bull make a few cows happy
01:03:55Arthur tell me
01:04:25I
01:04:55Of course almost family
01:05:12I'm afraid she's a bit of a handful. I do hope she behaved herself while she was with you. Why not charming girl
01:05:25I
01:05:55I
01:06:25I
01:06:55I
01:07:25I
01:07:55I
01:08:19Didn't you like me dancing the peasants
01:08:22I'm not gonna make a big thing of this
01:08:24Disgraced you didn't I I had to go away for a few days
01:08:27Oh more shooting somewhere else and I must be told as it yes or no. What's the question? I'd be woman. I
01:08:35thought I
01:08:36Thought we should get married
01:08:42What a handsome proposal, how could anyone say no
01:08:51I
01:09:21I
01:09:41Thought it was stupid of me
01:09:51I
01:09:55Should really get back to my guests
01:10:22Oh
01:10:35The boy's an idiot you did lead him on
01:10:52Because he loves you
01:10:54And I think you love him
01:10:57And you make all the other missus who've been through here look like so many pale insipid
01:11:01Nobody's which they undoubtedly are but why does it always have to come down to marriage?
01:11:06Don't be foolish child. It's natural to want someone as part of you part of your life. I don't want to be part of anyone
01:11:15Do you imagine you're the only female on earth to have such notions
01:11:19Loneliness is a terrible price to pay for independence
01:11:25Don't throw away reality for some impossible dream. It's not impossible. It's not
01:11:49I
01:12:19You
01:12:49I
01:13:06Silly sip
01:13:19I
01:13:27Got to leave all this sir, they're closing their house
01:13:33I'm going north to see to the other properties. Why what's happened?
01:13:39The bank wants its money and I haven't got it they couldn't take everything they could
01:13:50I love you, man
01:13:53Quite a while
01:13:57Why didn't you tell me
01:14:00I'm sorry. I should have I
01:14:06Was afraid of losing you as well
01:14:12I'm sorry
01:14:20You
01:14:24Now, you know
01:14:27There's no need to feel tired I
01:14:30Mean I shouldn't have asked you I'd I had no right
01:14:34I'll be a poor man
01:14:39But we'll be friends
01:14:43And mates
01:14:46Of course, do you think I cared for you just because you were rich
01:15:01There's something I must say I
01:15:09I wish I could help you
01:15:15Could you
01:15:18Can you give me a bit of time maybe two years
01:15:23You see, I'm just not ready yet last night I
01:15:30Don't know I think I was trying to hurt you
01:15:34Make you let go do something
01:15:37Give me a chance to find out what's wrong with the world and with me who I am everything
01:15:46Then I'll marry you if you need me and I can help
01:15:54You do understand
01:16:07I knew you would
01:16:37I
01:17:08I
01:17:10Don't know what you've been up to now, but mrs. Fossey wants to see you well be I've just got to finish
01:17:14She wants you now. They're all waiting. Mr. Julius and mrs. Bell
01:17:28Come in dear and sit down
01:17:30I
01:17:35Come straight to the point Sabilla, it seems your father has got himself into difficulties again money
01:17:41Of course, he borrowed 500 pounds from a chap called McSwatt and put the farm up as security
01:17:484% interest
01:17:49That's 20 pounds a year very fair
01:17:52What's this got to do with me?
01:17:53Well, your mother says she's tried but there is no way they can pay it and this McSwatt chaps made a very generous offer
01:18:00He'd be worth a few bob. I'd say Julius
01:18:04So it's been arranged that instead of the interest he will accept your services as governess to his children
01:18:12Arranged
01:18:14Don't I have a say I
01:18:21Won't go I won't
01:18:31Hmm
01:18:35Life around here will certainly be uneventful when she's gone
01:18:40You're the world of good
01:18:43Make her think of other people
01:18:46instead of herself

01:25:17Suppose I should thank God for one agreeable daughter if Gertie marries Harry Beauchamp, it will be a blessing
01:25:25Your grandmother says he's come back and has managed to regain possession of five Bob Downs
01:25:30He seems to spend most of his time with Gertie who must enjoy his company

01:31:11Aunt Cassie sends her love. She's very keen on me getting married
01:31:16Yes

01:32:25We can go to the city as much as you like
01:32:34Maybe I'm ambitious

01:32:43Can't lose myself in somebody else's life when I haven't lived my own yet I
01:32:54Want to be a writer

01:33:29And she loved me even a little
01:33:37I'm so near loving you

01:34:10You
01:34:23So now I've written it all down
01:34:25Why?
01:34:27To try and make sense of it
01:34:30It may come out sounding like a couple of nails in a rusty tin pot
01:34:36My ineffectual life may be trodden the same round of toil
01:34:42But I want to tell everyone about my own people
01:34:47How I love them and pity them
01:34:51Pity all of us
01:34:54Sun is shining another day and hope is whispering in my ear
