00:01:24
room oh
00:01:27
look here is the sampler we work
00:01:29
together together under that most
00:01:31
forbidding gness we had young ladies

00:01:35
their lips tightly when they chew their
00:01:37
food she was an old Dragon oh yes she
00:01:40
was
00:01:41
rather this is the bed I lay in the
00:01:43
first night I arrived a little girl of
00:01:46
nine I sobbed and sobbed all night I
00:01:50
tried desperately not to wake you with
00:01:52
my
00:01:52
sobs you lay here
00:01:56
remember youve not regretted it
00:02:00
regret it being my companion what living
00:02:04
here in Harley Street for 10 whole years
00:02:07
in the most fashionable part of London
00:02:10
oh dear cousin Edith what girl in the
00:02:11
world could regret having had such an
00:02:13
opportunity well then why leave my
00:02:15
mother will be delighted for you to stay
00:02:17
on besides what hope will there be for
00:02:20
you if you bury yourself in the country
00:02:23
hope there are no husbands in Hampshire
00:02:26
not for you
00:02:28
come
00:02:32
oh it's
00:02:36
beautiful you will marry a man from
00:02:38
London I'm certain of it oh will I
00:02:42
what's more I'll tell you his name if
00:02:43
you like you needn't bother it will not
00:02:45
be him I promise you
00:02:49
that Edith your mother bids me command
00:02:51
you to return to your guests but anxious
00:02:54
to examine these Eastern
00:02:55
Delights part of your truso I believe
00:02:58
but we have yet to fold well you folded
00:03:00
one now that's sufficient go display it
00:03:03
Margaret and I will follow after with
00:03:05
the
00:03:09
others good excuse
00:03:11
Henry good
00:03:22
excuse you're returning to Hampshire
00:03:24
then to hilston yes why everyone asks me
00:03:29
why well wait is it so absurd a thing to
00:03:32
want to live away from London for a
00:03:33
while you say for a while you'll return
00:03:36
perhaps one day
00:03:39
when Henry you've become rather
00:03:41
unfortunate Margaret I have good reason
00:03:43
you must have guessed at my feelings for
00:03:44
you Henry
00:03:46
please I have never thought of you but
00:03:48
as a
00:03:49
friend pray let us keep it sir forgive
00:03:55
me why Margaret why I rack my brains
00:03:59
Contin continually knowing all that
00:04:01
London has to offer you why should you
00:04:03
wish to bury yourself in the country
00:04:05
life may be Fuller and richer elsewhere
00:04:07
elsewhere Margaret there is no place for
00:04:09
you but London oh if you could only see
00:04:12
the Village Green and the church and the
00:04:14
country cottages and the
00:04:16
gardens and besides I want to have a
00:04:19
better acquaintance of my
00:04:20
parents their humiliation must cease
00:04:24
what humiliation
00:04:26
prey well it is generally noised in
00:04:28
London but I've been Edith's companion
00:04:30
all these years because my mother
00:04:32
suffers from ill health well is that not
00:04:35
true partly true the real reason is that
00:04:39
my aunt considered my mother had married
00:04:41
beneatha that is why I've been as it
00:04:44
were
00:04:45
adopted your father's a clergyman yes
00:04:49
but Papa's living is a very small
00:04:52
one my father is a man of
00:04:56
conscience he thinks for
00:04:58
himself
00:05:00
and that is what I intend to do
00:05:02
Henry think for
00:05:28
myself
00:06:01
[Applause]
00:06:08
[Applause]

00:06:13

00:06:22
master Frederick's room on extra B of
00:06:24
Polish Frederick's room but why oh I'd
00:06:27
like this Margaret to see that I'd been
00:06:28
keeping her brother's room SPI and span
00:06:30
it's a wasted effort Dixon you know as I
00:06:33

00:06:37

00:06:47
they'll prove him innocent Dixon please
00:06:50
all these years I've tried to protect
00:06:52
Margaret from the truth she thinks he's
00:06:54
happy living in Spain will let her
00:06:56

certainly Mama tell me was it a pretty
00:08:20
dress what is troubling him your father
00:08:23
nothing that I know of he looks so
00:08:27
careworn you've grown up now Mar
00:08:29
you see him as others see him he is
00:08:31
always like that I married a scholar
00:08:35
it's only happy in his books but he is
00:08:37
worried isn't he Mama well I sometimes
00:08:40
think your father enjoys worrying oh
00:08:42
mama no well it's only a small Parish he
00:08:45
should be able to cope well I shall help
00:08:47
him help him yes he readily commands
00:08:50
people's help everyone is sorry for your
00:08:52
father oh I shall enjoy helping him Mama
00:08:55
after London I want a useful life are
00:08:58
your shoulders is Broad
00:09:00
enough if you once start helping him
00:09:02
it'll never stop that's something that
00:09:04
I've discovered oh but it's not Papa
00:09:06
exactly it's the cares of the parish
00:09:09
visiting the old people reading to them
00:09:12
well perhaps even teaching in the school
00:09:14
sacrifice your life to charitable works
00:09:17
well the young do have Noble aims
00:09:19
fleeting perhaps but Noble I seek the
00:09:22
alternative to London Society Mama
00:09:24
what's that no veneer no pretense
00:09:30
the core of things the
00:09:33
heart the
00:09:35
truth how like your father you
00:09:38
are in London it is always driving in
00:09:41
carriages instead of
00:09:43
walking oh how I long to use my own two
00:09:47
feet I shall through the woods and
00:09:50
across the common the warm scented air
00:09:53
against my cheeks and what a delight it
00:09:55
will be simply to stand and gaze gaze at
00:09:58
what oh everything Mama everything the
00:10:01
Wild free living creatures as they bask
00:10:05
and revel in the sunshine Margaret yes
00:10:09
well I should warn you we do have a
00:10:11
dreadful lot of rain in the district oh
00:10:13
M what a thing to say well it's true
00:10:17
besides a young girl of your age should
00:10:19
have other
00:10:20
interests indeed now that you're home I
00:10:23
must tell your father that we must
00:10:25
associate more with the
00:10:27
Gormans why the ganss
00:10:29
well they do have a son mama I do not
00:10:33
want to know the Gorman's father mother
00:10:35
nor son but they're very well respected
00:10:37
in the neighborhood they made their
00:10:38
fortune in trade did they not they are
00:10:39
coach Builders those are the very people
00:10:42
I do not want to mix with but who will
00:10:44
you have as friends now that your home
00:10:45
oh the village is full of them mama oh
00:10:47
Cottages laborers but ordinary simple
00:10:51
people who are part of it all those are
00:10:54
the friends I want they are yes because
00:10:58
I want to be part of it all
00:11:00
too but didn't you see that is why I'm
00:11:13
here mama we really must start thinking
00:11:15
about the distribution of winter
00:11:17
clothing I always rely upon Dixon to
00:11:19
tell me about the needy and the truly
00:11:22
deserving but if you wish I'll consult
00:11:24
her now while it's fresh on our minds
00:11:26
thank you
00:11:27
Mama
00:11:34
Margaret yes papa is it of immediate
00:11:38
consequence that tapestry that you're
00:11:41
doing I would like to speak to you in
00:11:43
the
00:11:57
study Lu it d
00:12:10
well my mind is made
00:12:13
up I'm
00:12:16
resolved I'm leaving the
00:12:20
ministry Pap I can no longer be a
00:12:24
minister in the Church of
00:12:27
England I've prayed to God for
00:12:30
guidance night and
00:12:33
day for
00:12:36
years but your coming home Margaret your
00:12:40
honesty and
00:12:43
innocence has caused me to hold fast to
00:12:46
my own
00:12:49
Integrity I believe in God but I cannot
00:12:53
accept the 39
00:12:55
articles I descent from the Dogma of the
00:12:59
established
00:13:00
church Papa have you well
00:13:04
considered wa it seems so
00:13:07
terrible so shocking listen
00:13:10
Margaret this is the testimony of one
00:13:14
who was once clergyman in a country
00:13:18
Parish like
00:13:20
myself it was written by Mr
00:13:23
Oldfield minister of
00:13:26
carington 160 years ago
00:13:30
nor when thou canst no longer continue
00:13:33
in thy work without dishonor to God
00:13:37
forgoing thy Integrity wounding
00:13:41
conscience and hazarding the loss of thy
00:13:44
salvation thou mayest ye thou must
00:13:48
believe that God will turn thy very
00:13:51
silence to his
00:13:53
glory when God will not use you in one
00:13:56
kind yet he will
00:13:59
in
00:14:02
another I must do what my conscience
00:14:06
bids me must I not
00:14:09
Margaret assuredly
00:14:12
Papa what does mama say to this your
00:14:17
mother has always been ambitious for
00:14:21
me a country Parish was not what was in
00:14:26
her mind for all her years she wished me
00:14:29
to
00:14:30
climb a month ago her wish was
00:14:34
granted the bishop offered me a much
00:14:37
better living a town
00:14:41
Parish I refused
00:14:43
it poor mama had I accepted I would have
00:14:47
had to make a fresh Declaration of my
00:14:48
Conformity I would have had to declare
00:14:50
again my belief in the whole of the
00:14:53
Liturgy and
00:14:55
I I do
00:14:57
not I I cannot have you acquainted the
00:15:00
bishop with all this he has been most
00:15:02
kind he has tried many arguments
00:15:05
arguments which I have applied to myself
00:15:08
with no
00:15:11
avail on Sunday I preach my farewell
00:15:15
summon next
00:15:19
Sunday but what does mama say to this
00:15:24
she she does not know not know
00:15:30
you have not told her I'm a coward
00:15:33
Margaret but she must be told she
00:15:36
must she
00:15:40
must I would like you to to help me to
00:15:43
tell her the idea of her distress fills
00:15:46
me with
00:15:47
Dread I shall be out tomorrow saying
00:15:50
farewell to the
00:15:52
parish perhaps
00:15:55
then it is a painful thing but she must
00:15:58
be told
00:16:01
but let us have everything
00:16:03
clear what is going to happen to us
00:16:06
where should we go where should we live
00:16:08
I have been in correspondence with your
00:16:10
godfather with with Mr Bell he has
00:16:12
helped me throughout my life ever since
00:16:15
my days at Oxford when I when I studied
00:16:17
under Him He suggests that we should
00:16:19
take up residence in Milton Milton he
00:16:23
knows the place well he he he was born
00:16:25
there Milton the town in the north yes
00:16:27
Margaret manufacturing Town
00:16:32
yes but why why there Mr Bell owns a
00:16:37
great deal of property there of
00:16:38
tenaments and houses and
00:16:41
factories he rarely sees them but he is
00:16:44
bound to to to keep up his connections
00:16:48
he he assures me there's a very good
00:16:50
opening for a private tutor there a
00:16:53
private tutor I must earn food for the
00:16:56
family Margaret small income I have is
00:16:59
not enough not nearly enough but in
00:17:01
Milton of all places but what in the
00:17:04
world of Manufacturers want with the
00:17:05
classics they are the accomplishments of
00:17:08
gentlemen but Mr Bell tells me there are
00:17:10
many who are conscious of their
00:17:11
deficiencies and willing to
00:17:14
learn dear papa I have one pupil already
00:17:18
oh Mr Bell has recommended me to a
00:17:21
tenant of his a Mr Mr Thornton a most
00:17:24
intelligent man have you met
00:17:27
him no of course not you will probably
00:17:30
find here some very pretentious
00:17:34
nobody when do we
00:17:38
leave in a
00:17:41
fortnite a
00:17:43
fortnite not exactly to the day nothing
00:17:46
is fixed but something must be
00:17:50
fixed oh poor
00:17:53
mama to know nothing about it but what
00:17:56
does he mean DS he knows better than the
00:17:59
church is that it can't the bishop do
00:18:01
anything to change his mind I'm afraid
00:18:03
not it is all settled he is going to
00:18:06
leave Helston in a
00:18:08
fortnight a
00:18:10
fortnite oh no that's not right I call
00:18:12
that very unfeeling how goody it is his
00:18:15
conscience mama no it's not his
00:18:17
conscience it's
00:18:22
him forgive
00:18:24
me he is the man I married and I love
00:18:27
him
00:18:29
but how different all this is from what
00:18:31
I
00:18:35
expected I had hopes of a cathedral
00:18:38
clister you know such a gentle life is a
00:18:41
cathedral Closter and there Society
00:18:44
there you love Society don't you Mama I

00:18:50
society

00:18:53
closed against me m but it's true
00:18:56
Margaret if your father leaves the
00:18:58
church we should not be admitted into
00:18:59
society anywhere a private tutor to
00:19:02

thoron day Mr Good Day Mr
00:24:03
th delightful man surely a study of
00:24:07
Homer and Plato are somewhat
00:24:09
Advanced do not conjugations and
00:24:12
declensions come first not to his Mr
00:24:14
thoron until the age of 15 he attended a
00:24:18
school he
00:24:20
did how much do you know about you only
00:24:23
what Mr Bell has told me in his letters
00:24:25
and what is that at the age of
00:24:28
Mr Thornton was left to support his
00:24:31
mother and sister
00:24:33
alone his father
00:24:36
had his father had speculated wildly had
00:24:41
gambled with other people's money and
00:24:45
lost he took his own life according to
00:24:48
Mr Bell young Thornton was removed from
00:24:52
the school and found employment in a
00:24:54
draper shop and he was paid 50 15
00:24:58
Shillings a week of that sum three
00:25:01
Shillings were set aside as savings and
00:25:03
a similar amount was used to pay off his
00:25:06
father's debts one
00:25:08
wonders one wonders how they lived and
00:25:11
yet now he is a manufacturer would
00:25:14
self-help Margaret
00:25:17
self-help but there is certainly a power
00:25:19
and a resolution in his
00:25:21
face I should never wish to cross swords
00:25:24
with a man of Mr Thornton's
00:25:26
temperament
00:25:29
well one thing at least is
00:25:32
certain we
00:25:33
have chosen a new
00:25:36
home yes
00:25:38
papa we have a
00:25:45
house oh this fog you can smell it in
00:25:49
the house it creeps in
00:25:56
everywhere
00:25:57
[Music]
00:26:00
Margaret do this catch for me if we
00:26:03
don't keep the windows tightly shut we
00:26:05
should be
00:26:07
[Music]
00:26:10
choked
00:26:12
Richard Richard how are we to spend the
00:26:14
rest of our lives here these last few
00:26:17
weeks have been the worst part of the
00:26:19
Year my dear the the spring will be here
00:26:21
presently and with the Sun the the fogs
00:26:24
will disperse is there ever any sun in
00:26:27
Milton
00:26:28
I've seen no sign of it well in London
00:26:30
Mama the fogs are sometimes far worse
00:26:33
but then you had friends in London so
00:26:35
did I when I was a girl gay social
00:26:38
evenings that could shut out any
00:26:41
fog but here we were quite
00:26:44
desolate I took the liberty of light in
00:26:46
the lamps
00:26:52
ma'am I know they're half hour before
00:26:55
they
00:26:56
time but
00:26:58
but just best to get these shutters
00:27:00
barred up it's a good idea Dixon ah
00:27:05
it'll keep the bad air
00:27:07
out fog brings an awful smell with it
00:27:11
from these
00:27:15
canals
00:27:16
Margaret yes mama get me My Wo

00:27:39
moment but you're not a factory girl
00:27:41
Margaret no M but I'm going to visit one
00:27:44

00:27:47
Margaret neighbors Papa she and her
00:27:50

00:28:02

00:28:06
embarrassing I cannot pass them again in
00:28:08
the street and let them invite me a
00:28:10
third
00:28:11
time the girl is so desperately sick and
00:28:13
Ill it's pitiful to see her Margaret
00:28:17
loves to do good works but this is not
00:28:19
Hampshire dear we haven't the means to
00:28:21
comfort the poor there's no arms box to
00:28:24
distribute is there Richard no my mother
00:28:27
this is not
00:28:28
charity it is a girl of my own age but
00:28:32
she's too ill to work in the factories
00:28:33
as she used to she needs a
00:28:36
friend I need a friend
00:28:38
too here is my real opportunity of
00:28:41
getting to know someone who lives here
00:28:43
but Margaret she lives in one of those
00:28:44
little HS their whole way of life it
00:28:47

that is why I've put off going to see
00:28:53
them I
00:28:54
suppose but we must not stand aloof
00:28:58

00:29:07

00:33:57
little bits fly off the cotton when the
00:33:58
card in it and fill the air till it
00:34:00
looks all fine white dust they say it
00:34:03
winds around the lungs tightens them up
00:34:05

00:34:09

00:34:12
you see
00:34:19
I now you know who's Miss don't you 19
00:34:22
years age she is now you
00:34:25
knows
00:34:35
and how would you translate that Mr th
00:34:40
see always aim at the highest honors and
00:34:43
surpass all those around you Noble
00:34:46
sentiments aren't they Noble oh yes here
00:34:50
we have hippus telling his son glus he
00:34:53
must never forget he is a Highborn
00:34:55
Aristocrat super ior to all others if I
00:34:59
may say so Mr hail coming from the south
00:35:01
with aristocratic connections yourself
00:35:03
You' be bound to give the lines that
00:35:04
interpretation what other interpretation
00:35:06
is there you see to my mind Homer's
00:35:11
exhortation is to any man those from the
00:35:13
north of England had he own them he
00:35:15
wants them to use their brains and their
00:35:17
talents in a competitive way to rise
00:35:19
above the the common multitude it's got
00:35:21
nothing to do with
00:35:23
aristocracy he's saying those who can
00:35:26
battle the hard and got the wit to do it
00:35:27
deserve the best positions in
00:35:30
society he's got a message for today as
00:35:32
Homer nevertheless Mr Thon I must insist
00:35:36
that Homer is here talking about the
00:35:39
aristocratic Warrior ideal I think so
00:35:42
yes hippus is only one Ally of the
00:35:45
Trojans amongst many yet he insists that
00:35:48
his tribe must shine above all others
00:35:51
but you could say that of us the
00:35:53
northern tribe you say we've got
00:35:54
something which is far superior to
00:35:56
anything the South can provide and what
00:35:58
is more we know it and what is the
00:36:00
something you have got Mr Thornton do
00:36:02
beg your pardon Miss H I didn't hear you
00:36:04
come in Margaret do go through Mr
00:36:06
Thornton and we shall have some tea
00:36:09
after our herculan labors no labor sit
00:36:13
down won't you thank
00:36:17
you and what have you got Mr Thornton
00:36:19
that is so superior to the
00:36:23
south in
00:36:25
short hard work work and true
00:36:28
determination the will to
00:36:31
win only some of you Mr Thornton only
00:36:34
people like you
00:36:38
Margaret have you a carding room Mr
00:36:41
Thornton and do the girls die from the
00:36:43
fluff carding room I don't follow Marg
00:36:47
no doubt Mr Thornton will explain you
00:36:50
have been talking to some of the workers
00:36:52
yes then let me tell you this Miss hail
00:36:55
I'm willing to install a wheel in my
00:36:56
Mill
00:36:57
a great wheel that'll make a draft carry
00:36:58
away the dust it'll cost £600 but I'm
00:37:01
willing to install it and why don't you
00:37:04
because the hand say they prefer to work
00:37:05
without ventilation they say if they
00:37:07
stop swallowing the fluff they get
00:37:11
hungry even the gods are powerless Mr
00:37:13
hail when it comes to such
00:37:14
ignorance and who keeps them ignorant Mr
00:37:17
Thornton you who study
00:37:20
Homer who keeps them ignorant Miss hail
00:37:22
it's one of the great beauties of our
00:37:24
system that a working man can't better
00:37:25
himself because even become a master if
00:37:27
he applies himself now I've risen they
00:37:30
haven't I've become a master and as such
00:37:33
I employed despotism I hope a wise one
00:37:37
but a despotism nevertheless in a
00:37:38
heroical sense I mean indeed I make
00:37:41
order out of chaos that's what a master
00:37:44
does and I think my order is infinitely
00:37:47
Superior to their chaos you put your own
00:37:50
interest first of course certainly I do
00:37:52
miss hail my interest must always come
00:37:54
first it's got to because of one my
00:37:56
survival depends
00:38:02
theirs more

punish the Lawless and to protect the
