Short filmTranscript
00:00He'll be feeling relieved now, won't he, knowing the stock I come from?
00:06No one would want me now, would they?
00:11Except me.
00:14Say it.
00:17I can't answer a question.
00:20I can't answer a question.
00:23I can't answer a question.
00:26Say it.
00:29I can't answer a question. I haven't been asked.
00:48Annabella, will you marry me?
00:53You know, you needn't feel compelled to do that.
00:57I'm quite prepared to live with you.
01:00Are you now? I asked you to marry me.
01:03And marry me means first taking a name that isn't mine.
01:07It means having people talking behind their hands.
01:10How does she marry him? He has work and man written all over him.
01:14It means being thrown out of the saloon end of bars.
01:18And it means one day working to the last minute when you're carrying my child.
01:23Now, will you marry me?
01:48No, I won't.
02:19I'm so worried. You've been away for hours.
02:22I was searching for a job and I found one.
02:25Where? You wait and see.
02:36Very fine colour, Mr Carpenter.
02:39Are the Italians working for you?
02:41I have that.
02:43And you?
02:46I have that. And you're quite right.
02:49They do seem to have some secrets about colour that we haven't.
02:57Miss Marver has seen some work.
02:59Has indeed.
03:01I've never heard a woman talk so knowledgeably about glass.
03:05Oh, relatives of mine had a glass business.
03:09Maybe I know them.
03:11They went bankrupt.
03:12It's so easy to do with glass these days.
03:15Now, I must get you the key to your house.
03:18All right.
03:22Of course, it's going to look more cheerful when you've got it furnished according to your taste.
03:26As you can afford.
03:28Thank you, sir.
03:42We'd furnish it much more quickly if there were two wages, not one coming in.
03:45Annabella. Lord.
03:47Never know what she's going to say next.
03:49I couldn't help noticing there was no accountant at the works.
03:51I do the accounts. Not very efficiently, perhaps.
03:54It's a bit of a chore for me.
03:56I'm very good with figures.
04:00That's a very unconventional young person you have there.
04:04She is, that.
04:06I think you told me you still have your caravan.
04:08I assume you will be sleeping in it until...
04:11Oh, yes, sir. Indeed.
04:12Until the wedding, of course.
04:22Yes. It seems fine.
04:25We'll check it again for the next time.
04:26You've found the fourpence.
04:28I went over these pennies time and time again,
04:31and every time, four pennies seemed to disappear.
04:35You've found the fourpence.
04:42You're the new accountant?
04:44At ten shillings a week.
04:46That's 30 shillings a week between the two of us.
04:49I never dreamt I'd have that much money in my life.
04:52A sheet and crown and mosaic glass.
04:57Good. And from hollow where we get?
05:00Blown glass and pressed glass.
05:03What do we get when we mix excess soda in the making of flint glass?
05:07I don't need all this book learning.
05:10I swear to you, the men in there are good
05:12because of experience and practice with tools of the trade.
05:15Look, Manuel, I don't mean for you to be a glass worker.
05:19You have a way with people.
05:22You can read and write and reckon up.
05:25You should be a manager.
05:29You're a calculating woman.
05:33You're a calculating woman.
05:36You have it all worked out, don't you?
05:39To the last detail.
06:02Hurray! Hurray!
06:32Hurray!
06:48I've had too many along here since afternoon.
06:53Miss Anne... Mrs Mendoza.
06:56Let me introduce my stepson, Captain Weir.
06:59You start with the lass.
07:01Nonsense. It's Annabella, isn't it?
07:03You'll dance with me, won't you, Annabella?
07:05Now, now, you must be kind to a seafaring man.
07:09Oh, Mendoza is a fortunate fellow.
07:12He'll be lucky indeed later tonight.
07:14Excuse me.
07:20May I have a small glass of ale, please?
07:24That's my husband you're flirting with, miss.
07:27I hope you had eyes only for the bridegroom.
07:30Oh, I am sorry.
07:53Come along. Come along.
07:56Annabella! Annabella!
08:07Annabella!
08:20Oh, God.
08:23Why do I do it?
08:25Why do I strike out?
08:28I've killed another man.
08:30Shh. No one must hear you say that.
08:50How soon can you have your caravan back on the road?
08:53He's dead, then?
08:55No. He's got a dislocated jaw and his shoulder's out.
08:59I sent for the doctor.
09:01His wife sent for the police.
09:04What are you suggesting, sir?
09:06Stay on the road, or the tracks off the road.
09:09Stay away for a couple of weeks.
09:11It'll be a wedding holiday.
09:13You mean we can come back?
09:15Oh, of course.
09:18Here's what's owed to you.
09:20A little extra.
09:25Go on, take it, man. Take it.
09:31Thanks for your kindness, Mr Carpenter.
09:51We haven't had our wedding night.
09:53We will.
09:55We will.
10:50Ballyhoo!
11:00Annabella!
11:02Annabella!
11:04Annabella!
11:11Annabella!
11:13Manuel!
11:15Manuel!
11:20I'll get help, Manuel! I'll get help! I promise! I promise!
11:29I love you. I love you.
11:50But it's like seeing a ghost. We thought you were dead, child.
12:03If I'm not, it's thanks to Manuel.
12:05Yes, yes, no doubt Manuel is, in some way.
12:08To be commended for protecting you.
12:10But a man should never, never have forced you into a marriage.
12:13Oh, he didn't force me, Uncle James.
12:15I wanted to marry Manuel long before he asked me.
12:17Child, you don't know what you're saying. He is a working man.
12:21I've been working for my living too, Aunt Emma.
12:23But that is all over now, my child. You are restored to us.
12:27Think of the joy your return will be to your ma.
12:30But she won't know me. She's lost her reason.
12:33Who told you that?
12:34Grandma. I mean, Lady Constance told Manuel.
12:37Oh, that wicked, cold-hearted old woman!
12:40I know one should speak well of the dead, James, but...
12:44Come into dinner. You can wash and change later.
12:47You'll find you some suitable clothing.
12:49I want you to help me find legal assistance for Manuel.
12:52I must have some good news to take him.
12:54You don't intend to see him again.
12:57I am his wife. Of course I shall see him.
13:13Oh, Manuel!
13:43My love, Manuel.
13:47You remember Great-Uncle James?
13:50But he's not your Great-Uncle, is he?
13:52We are still her family. It's best you understand that.
13:56Uncle James will get help. He'll find us a good solicitor.
14:00We'll do all we can. Our case comes up next Tuesday.
14:04Time.
14:05We've hardly had a moment.
14:06Time.
14:14That man has become quite boorish.
14:16Not a word of thanks.
14:18Couldn't you see how he's suffering in that place?
14:21Annabella, you have lost some of your nice ways
14:24and picked up some undesirable ones.
14:27Now, you must go to see your mama.
14:29Are you sure I should? If I'm so different...
14:32I've warned her.
14:34I've been mixing for a year with menials.
14:37Touch pitch and...
14:39I've been mixing for a year with menials.
14:42Touch pitch and...
15:09BIRDS CHIRP
15:39Annabella.
15:42Dearest.
15:44Dearest child.
15:53I'm not sure what to call you.
15:56But I am still your mama.
15:59I was your mama for 17 years.
16:03You are my daughter.
16:07Please.
16:09Let me hear you say it.
16:13Mama.
16:16Oh, Mama!
16:27You will stay here with me, won't you?
16:29I must return to Weirbeck, Mama. It's closer to Durham.
16:32But you can't mean to visit the jail.
16:34It would be far too harrowing. You've suffered enough, dear.
16:37I've suffered nothing compared to Manuel, Mama.
16:39That place will break his spirit.
16:41He needs to see me.
16:43And I need to see him.
16:45Well, you've been through a good deal together.
16:48But as time goes by,
16:50anyone as responsible as Manuel will surely see
16:53that your best interests lie here, with us.
16:57He won't see that.
16:59Why should he? He loves me.
17:01We love each other.
17:03Annabella, at your age, what can you know about love?
17:07A year ago, you thought me old enough to marry Stephen.
17:12Well, I'm going to be at the crossroads in time for the coach.
17:15The public coach? Surely James offered you his.
17:18I feel happier managing on my own.
17:21But when will I see you?
17:23Mama, I'm sorry.
17:25At present, all I can think of is Manuel.
17:30Six months.
17:34Six months in this place.
17:36I was afraid it would be much longer.
17:38Hold me. Hold me tight.
17:44I'll visit you. The time will fly.
17:47No. I'll lose you.
17:49People's told me while I'm in here,
17:51your uncle will have the marriage annulled.
17:55Uncle. My dear.
17:57Mama.
18:01Shall we begin? Certainly.
18:03First of all, my child...
18:05First of all, Uncle James, I am not a child.
18:08I would have been.
18:10If I'd not had this year with Manuel, I'd never have lived.
18:13I'd have been quite ignorant of the real world.
18:16There's no doubt I'd have learned to swim correctly.
18:20You're very pert, Annabelle.
18:22Think of your mother's feelings.
18:26I don't wish to hurt you, Mama, but...
18:31Though I still call her Mama, we all know she is not my mother.
18:35And that is the point.
18:37Neither of you is a blood relation of mine.
18:40You have no legal power over me.
18:43If you continue to interfere,
18:46I shall disappear again.
18:48For good.
20:14It's so sad to see the old house empty, don't you think?
20:17I thought you were planning to sell it.
20:19I'm not sure.
20:21Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could bring it back to life again?
20:24I did have an idea that you and I could open it up as a glassworks.
20:28A glassworks?
20:29I simply thought if you were prepared to work for Mr Carpenter,
20:32surely you'd be even happier running a place of your own.
20:35Mama, you know Manuel and I have plans of our own.
20:39Of course.
20:41It can't be very long before his release.
20:43Three days? Long enough.
20:46Well, it's almost time for dinner.
20:50You coming in?
20:52I feel so restless.
20:54I need a little time to walk.
20:56I'll be in in a minute.
21:40Manuel?
21:46Manuel!
22:12Remission.
22:13Good behavior.
22:26You won't invite him in?
22:28I don't eat with servants, dear.
22:30Not even after all these years with Alice Pikeliffe.
22:33I cannot break the habit of a lifetime.
22:42Very well, Mama.
22:43He won't trouble you.
22:45He shall be leaving tomorrow morning.
22:47Tomorrow?
22:48There's so much to talk about.
22:50I want you to think again about the new glassworks.
22:52Mama, do you really expect me to stay where my husband isn't welcome?
22:56Well, let him go.
22:58I'm not the only one.
23:00No one of good family anywhere in the county would make him welcome.
23:04Any more than they have me.
23:06Not one person has come to visit us in all these months, Mama.
23:09Not one.
23:10Well, that would change.
23:11With the new works, you'd be...
23:13by a person of substance.
23:15Manuel will always be unacceptable.
23:18Manuel won't stay as he is.
23:20He'll make a success of whatever we do.
23:22He'll be respected, I'm sure of it.
23:24No, Mama, you've shown what you think of him.
23:27I can't stay here.
23:34Manuel!
23:36Manuel!
23:42I'm sorry, Manuel, about my mother.
23:46I know how she feels.
23:48I would fight if anyone tried to take you away from me.
23:52Come on.
24:12May I come in?
24:15Of course.
24:20Good afternoon, Manuel.
24:22Good afternoon, ma'am.
24:24Annabella, if you're making tea, do you think I could have a cup?
24:28Yes, Mama.
24:29Please, won't you sit down?
24:34You only have milk, and I know you prefer lemon.
24:37I'll get some from the house.
24:39That would be kind.
24:51I have never thanked you, Manuel, for taking care of Annabella.
24:55But you're not grateful to me.
24:58In your heart, you think it a disgrace that I married her.
25:01Yes.
25:03I can't deny that.
25:05You can't stop her coming away with me.
25:07No, I can't.
25:09But you can.
25:11She's determined to go with you.
25:13But it's just a romantic notion.
25:15She's only a young girl.
25:17She is not a young girl. She is a woman.
25:20But she's still the child I brought up.
25:22The girl I trained to be a lady.
25:24That's what she still is.
25:26And in your heart, you know it.
25:29What life would it be for her if she went with you?
25:32Will you do something for me?
25:34Oh, that depends.
25:36Will you give me a week's grace?
25:38A week's grace?
25:40Leave her here for a week. No explanations.
25:42Just go.
25:44If you haven't enticed her in all these months...
25:46Oh, but you were a prisoner.
25:48Pining away for her as she was for you.
25:50Now you are free. She is free.
25:53The doubts may start.
25:55I am not free.
25:57I am hers for life.
25:59Well, then.
26:01You're certain of your feelings.
26:04But are you certain of hers?
26:08Leave now.
26:10And let her decide.
26:12I brought both milk and lemon.
26:14Mama?
26:18What is it?
26:20Nothing, dear.
26:22Manuel and I are beginning to understand each other.
26:25He won't change our minds.
26:27We are leaving here tomorrow morning.
26:29Oh, yes, dear.
26:31After tea, we could spend a little time
26:33choosing things you might like to take with you.
26:35I kept everything.
26:37Always hoping.
26:39If you're off again, you must have a wardrobe.
26:41Mama, a wardrobe?
26:43There's no room in the van for a start.
26:45Besides, at the end of the working week,
26:47Mr. Carpenter does not hold dinner parties.
26:49I'll take these.
26:51There's too many to carry, so when I've changed,
26:53I'll ask Manuel to come and fetch them.
26:55Of course, dear.
26:57Yes.
27:03Manuel?
27:07Manuel?
27:19You knew.
27:21You knew he'd go.
27:23You sent him away.
27:25Your own good child.
27:27He's not your kind.
27:31Annabella! Annabella, please!
27:33Please don't leave me.
27:35I've only begun to live again
27:37since you came back to me.
27:39Please.
27:41Don't you understand?
27:43If I stayed,
27:45I would hate you.
27:55Amy!
28:09Amy!
28:13Amy!
28:15Amy!
28:17Amy!
28:19I've been expecting you, Bonnie Louse.
28:21He was in a right hurry,
28:23but he came to say goodbye.
28:25Oh, then.
28:27It won't be a long shot,
28:29but you might just find him snatching a bit of sleep
28:31in Jacob's Field.
28:33Go on.
28:53Go on.
29:05Manuel!
29:11Annabella.
29:13In the name of God.
29:15Why did you let her talk you round?
29:17Why didn't you trust me?
29:19Why?
29:21I love you.
29:23Don't you understand? I love you.
29:35My darling.
29:37My dearie.
29:39My beauty.
29:41My love.
29:51My love.
30:17Manuel, what is it?
30:21I can't help feeling sorry for her.
30:23Your mama.
30:25You are sorry for her?
30:27She's lonely.
30:29Without you, she'll just pine.
30:31Anyway, I have something to thank her for, after all.
30:35If we'd have come away together back there,
30:37I would have always felt unsure about you.
30:39Deep in my heart,
30:41I would have had doubts.
30:43But now...
30:45Where you go, I go.
30:47Aye.
30:49Nothing can shake my faith in you.
30:51Nothing.
30:55Manuel.
30:57She can't separate us.
30:59She has no power over us now.
31:01So we're going back.
31:03We're going to run that glass house for Madame Lagrange.
31:05I am going to woo her
31:07until I've won her.
31:09Oh, I love you, Manuel Mendoza.
31:11Aye. And you know something, Mrs. Mendoza?
31:13What?
31:15I love you.
31:19Aye.
31:49Aye.
32:19Aye.
