She can smell it when you're not working. 3 00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:06,221 - You there! Is the machine mended? - Yeah. 4 00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:09,800 Then use it, for there's many to take your place. 5 00:01:23,416 --> 00:01:27,113 - The child is ill. Send her home. - I can't afford to. 6 00:01:27,287 --> 00:01:29,278 The child cannot work. 7 00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:34,222 Is there another child at home? 8 00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:38,589 If you can get her here within the hour you can keep the place. 9 00:01:38,798 --> 00:01:40,891 Thank you. 10 00:01:41,067 --> 00:01:43,433 In the hour, mind, or lose it. 11 00:01:56,082 --> 00:01:58,380 Whatever you think best, Mother. 12 00:01:58,551 --> 00:02:02,078 You know how this mill works almost better than I do. 13 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:07,482 You ask me what I miss most about the countryside. 14 00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:12,188 Well, Edith, in Milton you cannot feel the seasons change around you 15 00:02:12,365 --> 00:02:16,358 but I do think that at long last we have put winter behind us 16 00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:19,232 and I can resume my daily walks. 17 00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:24,206 - I don't know why you're blaming me. - Play your tricks. If you're wrong, we all suffer. 18 00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:29,747 - They wanted 5%. Would you have given it them? - No, but I would have told them straight. 19 00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:34,751 I wouldn't tell them to come back on payday so I could turn them down flat and provoke them. 20 00:02:34,921 --> 00:02:39,551 - Are you accusing me of encouraging a strike? - Wouldn't it have suited you? 21 00:02:39,726 --> 00:02:42,092 It's our livelihood you're playing with. 22 00:02:42,295 --> 00:02:47,597 - You would handle your workers better? - I wouldn't deliberately deceive them. Good day. 23 00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:54,932 Here is the address of our doctor. 24 00:02:57,143 --> 00:03:01,341 You did not need to visit in person. You could have sent a servant. 25 00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:08,078 You've been in this heathen climate for some time. I'm surprised you haven't needed a doctor. 26 00:03:08,254 --> 00:03:13,191 We don't. I came here personally because I didn't want to alarm my father. 27 00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:15,759 It's just a precaution, in case. 28 00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:17,920 My mother has low spirits. 29 00:03:18,097 --> 00:03:22,056 Really? We don't have much of that up here. 30 00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:25,170 But Dr. Donaldson will try to help if he can. 31 00:03:25,338 --> 00:03:27,397 I'm sorry to disturb you. 32 00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:29,872 You do not disturb me. 33 00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:35,538 But even you, not remotely interested in industry, might know that there is talk of a strike. 34 00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:39,310 Not just here, but one that will affect the whole of Milton. 35 00:03:39,485 --> 00:03:42,352 What would they gain by striking? 36 00:03:42,522 --> 00:03:45,150 They'll be wanting higher wages? 37 00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:47,759 That is what they will say. 38 00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:50,756 But the truth is... 39 00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:55,091 ...that there are some men raise themselves to be masters, 40 00:03:55,268 --> 00:03:58,795 while others will always seek to pull them down. 41 00:03:59,172 --> 00:04:01,834 That is the way of the world, Miss Hale, 42 00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:04,408 and there is nothing you and I can do about it. 43 00:04:18,491 --> 00:04:20,652 I need three over here! 44 00:04:20,827 --> 00:04:24,422 Hello, Miss Margaret! Been visiting the old dragon? 45 00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:27,725 - Hello, Jenny. How's your mother? - Little better, miss. 46 00:04:31,137 --> 00:04:35,096 - Do you like working here? - Like it? Like work? 47 00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:40,144 It's the same as anywhere. Well, it's better than Hamper's. You can only earn four shillings there. 48 00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:44,306 I earn five and ten up here but my dad makes me give him most of it. 49 00:04:44,484 --> 00:04:46,952 What would you spend it on, if you could? 50 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,955 Food, and then more food. A pile of it, great big plates. 51 00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,650 So, would you join a strike? 52 00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,593 Well, I'm not saying there will be one. Just if there was. 53 00:05:03,803 --> 00:05:06,897 Your mother has kindly given me the name of a doctor. 54 00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:11,203 - You're ill? - No. No, it's just a precaution. 55 00:05:15,515 --> 00:05:19,349 Your mother is always accusing me of knowing nothing about Milton. 56 00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,886 Doubt she meant you should hang on to their tittle-tattle. 57 00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:25,115 They weren't telling me any secrets. 58 00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:28,624 There was a man with a survey here. It's the new thing. 59 00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:32,424 They become practiced at telling others their working conditions. 60 00:05:32,598 --> 00:05:35,692 - Do you mind that, if they tell the truth? - Course not. 61 00:05:35,868 --> 00:05:39,964 I don't apologize to anyone about the wages I pay or how I run Marlborough Mills. 62 00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:42,437 It's in plain sight for all to see. 63 00:05:42,608 --> 00:05:44,974 What about how they spend their money? 64 00:05:45,144 --> 00:05:47,476 That would be none of my business. 65 00:05:47,647 --> 00:05:52,311 My duty is to the running of the mill. If I neglect that, all the workers will cease to have an income. 66 00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:54,919 But what about your moral duty? 67 00:05:55,088 --> 00:05:59,388 If she keeps to her hours and does nothing to disrupt the efficient working of the mill, 68 00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:02,119 what she does in her own time's not my concern. 69 00:06:02,295 --> 00:06:05,355 Here in the North, we value our independence. 70 00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:07,795 But surely you must take an interest? 71 00:06:09,135 --> 00:06:14,596 I'm her employer. I'm not her father or her brother that I can command her to do as I please. 72 00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:17,901 Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Hale. 73 00:06:18,444 --> 00:06:21,436 I would like to play the overbearing master 74 00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:25,607 but I'll answer your questions as honestly as I'm sure you ask them. 75 00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:35,851 Now, if you'll excuse me, I've urgent business. 76 00:06:36,629 --> 00:06:38,620 All the time there she is, 77 00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:42,529 looking down on us like a great black angry crow guarding the nest. 78 00:06:42,702 --> 00:06:45,637 As if I would ever consider her son as a suitor! 79 00:06:45,805 --> 00:06:48,239 Don't say you haven't thought about it. 80 00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:51,775 Mind you, you'd have to get some smarter clothes. 81 00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:55,505 Thank you! I'll have you know these were new last year! 82 00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:57,808 Not a chance. There's loads of girls after him. 83 00:06:57,984 --> 00:07:00,544 They're welcome to him, with my good wishes. 84 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,147 I can say this. If I ever have a son I'll not hang on to him like she does. 85 00:07:06,125 --> 00:07:11,461 Well, I'll never be having children of any sort, so that won't be a problem. 86 00:07:15,067 --> 00:07:17,433 Bessy, is it really so bad? 87 00:07:21,574 --> 00:07:25,772 Fluff on me lungs. Won't go away, however much I cough. 88 00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:30,405 At least I won't grow too old and ugly! There is that. 89 00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:35,282 - And this happened at Marlborough Mills? - No. No. 90 00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:41,090 Must've happened when I were little. We didn't know of these things then. We all had to work. 91 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:46,530 When Father found out, he moved me straightaway to Thornton's. 92 00:07:47,433 --> 00:07:51,699 - He loves you very much, doesn't he? - Yes. 93 00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:56,669 Fathers and daughters. Mothers and sons. 94 00:07:57,777 --> 00:08:01,338 So maybe we shouldn't be too hard on old battleaxe Thornton! 95 00:08:02,048 --> 00:08:06,485 Maybe your mother would be just the same if she had a son. 96 00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:09,883 She does... have a son. 97 00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:13,081 I have a brother. 98 00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:17,662 - Why didn't you ever say so before? - Because we don't talk about him. 99 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:19,695 Come on, I could do with a good story. 100 00:08:22,869 --> 00:08:26,635 I cried when Fred left home. So did Mother. 101 00:08:26,806 --> 00:08:29,434 But he was desperate to go to sea 102 00:08:29,609 --> 00:08:32,476 and Father thought it would be the making of him. 103 00:08:33,913 --> 00:08:35,904 He left full of hope... 104 00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:39,647 but that was before he sailed with the Captain. 105 00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:42,344 He was a monster. 106 00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:47,789 Once they set sail, he did whatever he liked. He beat the children to within an inch of their lives. 107 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,088 - Couldn't they do anything? - They tried. 108 00:08:51,264 --> 00:08:55,030 Frederick and the others stood up to him. Some wanted to kill him. 109 00:08:55,201 --> 00:09:00,264 Eventually they put the Captain and a few of his officers in a boat and let it loose on the open sea. 110 00:09:00,439 --> 00:09:03,033 The Navy called it a mutiny. 111 00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,700 But Frederick really had no choice. 112 00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:08,870 He was branded the ringleader and called a traitor. 113 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,751 Eventually the Navy printed a list of the mutineers 114 00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:20,586 and Fred's name was among them. 115 00:09:21,794 --> 00:09:24,524 It nearly killed my parents. 116 00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:46,676 He was in South America for a few years. 117 00:09:46,852 --> 00:09:49,047 Now he lives in Spain, in Cadiz. 118 00:09:49,221 --> 00:09:52,315 Spain! How romantic! 119 00:09:53,392 --> 00:09:55,917 Sometimes I think I'll never see him again. 120 00:09:56,095 --> 00:10:00,589 But if it could be told how he were put upon, how he defended others against that madman, 121 00:10:00,766 --> 00:10:02,825 surely the law would spare him. 122 00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:08,372 Some of the sailors were caught. They pleaded their case. Captain Reid was clearly insane. 123 00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:11,305 But they were hanged anyway. 124 00:10:11,477 --> 00:10:13,672 No, Frederick's safe in Spain. 125 00:10:13,846 --> 00:10:17,873 But if he comes home he'll be condemned to death, I'm sure. 126 00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:22,079 I suppose you can take comfort 127 00:10:22,254 --> 00:10:27,886 that he was so brave and acted to spare those sailors weaker than himself. 128 00:10:28,060 --> 00:10:30,153 Yes, I do. 129 00:10:30,329 --> 00:10:33,992 But I confess that sometimes I wish he'd been more of a coward 130 00:10:34,166 --> 00:10:37,465 if it meant my mother might see him once more. 131 00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,448 Preparations already? 132 00:10:57,623 --> 00:11:00,683 If we're going to entertain, we must do it properly. 133 00:11:02,294 --> 00:11:04,990 You're not regretting the invitations, are you? 134 00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:07,860 No, no. Spend what you will. 135 00:11:08,901 --> 00:11:14,168 Though it may have to be the last dinner party we have for some time. 136 00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:17,667 So, who's on the list? 137 00:11:18,778 --> 00:11:24,410 Slicksons of course. Fosters. Browns will decline, but we must invite them all the same. 138 00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:27,344 Hales will come, I presume? 139 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:33,481 They are probably aware of the great advantage it would be to Mr. Hale to be introduced to people. 140 00:11:33,659 --> 00:11:36,150 That would not influence them. 141 00:11:36,328 --> 00:11:39,058 How you seem to understand these Hales, John! 142 00:11:39,231 --> 00:11:42,223 Are they so different from any other people we meet? 143 00:11:42,401 --> 00:11:44,733 He seems a worthy kind of man. 144 00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:47,930 Rather too simple for trade. 145 00:11:48,107 --> 00:11:52,441 She's a bit of a fine lady, with all her low spirits! 146 00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:56,503 As for the daughter, she gives herself airs. 147 00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:59,082 Yet they're not rich and they never have been. 148 00:11:59,251 --> 00:12:01,742 She's not accomplished. She can't play the piano. 149 00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:05,288 What else does she lack to bring her up to your standard? 150 00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:09,690 I heard Miss Hale say she could not play myself, John. 151 00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:15,830 If you would let us alone we might perhaps see her merits and like her. 152 00:12:16,001 --> 00:12:18,026 I'm sure I never could. 153 00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:38,418 I wish you would try to like Miss Hale, Mother. 154 00:12:39,558 --> 00:12:41,583 Why? 155 00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:44,855 You've not formed an attachment to her, have you? 156 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:47,430 Mind you, she'll never have you. 157 00:12:48,734 --> 00:12:52,727 Why, she once laughed in my face at the thought of it! I'm sure she did. 158 00:12:52,905 --> 00:12:55,237 She would never have me. 159 00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:59,302 She has too good an opinion of herself to take you. 160 00:12:59,478 --> 00:13:02,140 I should like to know, will she find anyone better? 161 00:13:02,314 --> 00:13:07,445 You can both believe me, then, when I say this out of complete indifference to Miss Hale. 162 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:13,252 Mr. Hale is my friend. She is his only daughter. I wish you'd both make an effort to befriend her. 163 00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:17,725 I only wish I knew why you talked about her so much. I'm tired of it. 164 00:13:17,897 --> 00:13:22,800 What would you like us to talk about? How about a strike for a more pleasant topic? 165 00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:29,971 Now, now listen! 166 00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:34,340 The men up at Hamper's have been told not to expect a rise! 167 00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:40,712 - What about Slickson's? - Thornton will tell us Friday! 168 00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:44,083 - So, what do you reckon? - Strike! 169 00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:50,454 I thought so. 170 00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:56,295 Now is the time. We will all stop our machines at the end of the day Friday, 10 minutes before time! 171 00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:59,460 And no one, no one will start them up! 172 00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:10,749 What if Slickson decides to offer, do anything to keep his mill working at advantage of others? 173 00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:13,248 Then you still come out. 174 00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:16,913 Remember, if we all refuse to work 175 00:14:17,089 --> 00:14:20,024 we are the strong ones! 176 00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:25,721 - How long d'you think the masters will last out? - A week, two weeks at most. 177 00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:27,991 What if they send in for hands from Ireland? 178 00:14:28,167 --> 00:14:32,399 - Thornton will. He'd die before being dictated to. - I'll take him down! 179 00:14:32,571 --> 00:14:35,540 And any Irishman who takes our wages! 180 00:14:39,812 --> 00:14:41,803 Listen!

We keep together. Friday evening it is! 191 00:15:13,045 --> 00:15:15,275 Friday! 192 00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:37,458 Are the hands about to turn out? 193 00:15:37,636 --> 00:15:40,127 They're waiting for me to turn down their demands. 194 00:15:40,306 --> 00:15:42,797 Are there many orders in hand? 195 00:15:42,975 --> 00:15:45,808 Of course. We know that well enough. 196 00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,941 The Americans are flooding the market. 197 00:15:50,115 --> 00:15:54,211 Our only chance is producing at a lower price and faster. 198 00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:58,516 But the faster we fill the orders, the longer it takes to be paid. 199 00:15:58,691 --> 00:16:01,023 How much are we owed? 200 00:16:03,595 --> 00:16:06,223 The debt to the bank is nearly £400. 201 00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:10,631 The men are less patient. 202 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:14,332 They've barely made up pay since their last cut. 203 00:16:14,506 --> 00:16:16,497 Why don't they listen? 204 00:16:16,675 --> 00:16:21,476 They think that just by putting their ignorant heads together they'll get their way. 205 00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:26,983 Don't worry, Mother. It's a young industry. These problems will iron themselves out. 206 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,480 We're not yet in the position of selling up. 207 00:16:30,656 --> 00:16:34,456 Can't you get men from Ireland? Then you can get rid of the strikers. 208 00:16:34,626 --> 00:16:39,586 I would. I'd teach them I was master and could employ who I like. 209 00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:43,565 Yes, I can. And I will too, if the strike lasts. 210 00:16:44,803 --> 00:16:49,172 It'll be trouble and expense but I will do it rather than give in. 211 00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:59,443 If there is to be this extra expense 212 00:16:59,618 --> 00:17:02,746 I'm sorry we're giving the dinner this year. 213 00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:05,219 We should go on as before. 214 00:17:05,391 --> 00:17:08,189 No more, no less. 215 00:17:22,141 --> 00:17:26,043 There, now, Mother. Surely one of these will do for the Thorntons'... 216 00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:30,443 - Excuse me. - Ah, and this is Margaret, of course. 217 00:17:30,616 --> 00:17:35,417 The last time I saw you, you were eight, running round Helstone with your brother. 218 00:17:35,587 --> 00:17:37,646 Mr. Bell! Of course! 219 00:17:38,357 --> 00:17:40,018 How do you do? 220 00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:46,130 I thought that she would grow into a handsome young woman, but this goddess I never imagined. 221 00:17:46,298 --> 00:17:48,528 Margaret will not understand your humor. 222 00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,464 - No offence, my dear. - Of course not. 223 00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:55,740 I am pleased you've come to visit at last. 224 00:17:55,908 --> 00:18:00,743 With this talk of strikes, I thought I'd check with my banker whether I should sell up my property. 225 00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:04,940 Surely not. We're not even certain there'll be a strike, are we, Father? 226 00:18:05,117 --> 00:18:09,679 I don't know. Seems to me that masters and workers will never see eye to eye. 227 00:18:09,855 --> 00:18:14,121 In my teaching capacity, I meet many a working man. 228 00:18:14,293 --> 00:18:16,284 They have some dreadful tales 229 00:18:16,462 --> 00:18:19,158 and speak from the heart 230 00:18:19,331 --> 00:18:22,732 and have arguments for the strike which appear entirely logical. 231 00:18:22,901 --> 00:18:28,396 You know, they suffered a pay cut five years ago and have never got back to those wages. 232 00:18:28,574 --> 00:18:31,566 No, though the price of food goes up all the time. 233 00:18:31,743 --> 00:18:35,042 But then our friend Thornton comes to read 234 00:18:35,214 --> 00:18:38,706 and he answers my questions 235 00:18:39,451 --> 00:18:42,716 and puts the other side so eloquently... 236 00:18:44,056 --> 00:18:46,524 I truly don't know what to think. 237 00:18:46,692 --> 00:18:50,685 I'm sure Mr. Thornton does put his own view very eloquently. 238 00:18:52,564 --> 00:18:56,933 I'm surprised the Thorntons are having a dinner, with trouble looming. 239 00:18:57,102 --> 00:19:00,936 The Thorntons have a dinner on exactly the same date every year. 240 00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:04,098 Time nor tide stops for Mrs. Thornton's dinners. 241 00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:07,871 - She does not turn back for any man. - Now, that is very true! 242 00:19:08,046 --> 00:19:11,641 - Margaret's made friends amongst the workers. - Really? 243 00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:13,808 Extraordinary girl. 244 00:19:20,926 --> 00:19:24,521 - They've said no? - We were expecting it. 245 00:21:44,836 --> 00:21:48,363 I'm sorry to have taken so long to reply 246 00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:52,169 when you were asking what color would suit the baby best. 247 00:21:52,344 --> 00:21:54,938 I do so long to see him. 248 00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:02,748 I'm sure he'll look splendid in whatever you choose. 249 00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:04,980 I've been very busy. 250 00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:08,718 It's strange, for the rest of Milton is not at work. 251 00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:20,664 The mills have been dark for some weeks and the streets are strangely quiet. 252 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,732 People try to scrape what living they can. 253 00:22:25,911 --> 00:22:28,846 But all around there is desperation. 254 00:22:37,656 --> 00:22:42,787 Both workers and masters are holding fast to their positions. Neither will give way. 255 00:22:42,961 --> 00:22:46,294 No one can say how long the strike will last. 256 00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:49,400 No! My wife! No! 257 00:22:49,568 --> 00:22:53,231 She can't stand the sight of her little 'uns starving. 258 00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:56,238 She'll be dead before we get our five per cent! 259 00:22:56,408 --> 00:23:00,367 I hate you! You and the whole pack of the union! 260 00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:03,036 Said it'd take two weeks. 261 00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:05,206 Two weeks, you said. 262 00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:07,909 It's been twice as long as that 263 00:23:08,086 --> 00:23:12,420 and my little 'uns are lying in their beds too hungry to cry. 264 00:23:12,991 --> 00:23:14,788 Don't. 265 00:23:16,261 --> 00:23:18,991 Now, I told you I would take care of you... 266 00:23:20,499 --> 00:23:23,696 and I pledge my heart and soul that we will win. 267 00:23:23,869 --> 00:23:28,602 You expect a man to watch his children starve 'ere he dare go against the union. 268 00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:37,877 You've no more pity for a man than a pack of hungry wolves. 269 00:23:47,459 --> 00:23:50,155 We do what little we can. 270 00:23:50,328 --> 00:23:53,661 I feel guilty that we do not go hungry, 271 00:23:53,832 --> 00:23:56,926 and helpless in the face of so much suffering. 272 00:24:08,013 --> 00:24:11,915 She's a bit down in the mouth today. The strike's been going on too long. 273 00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:14,210 Do you blame me? 274 00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:18,220 - What about the Bouchers? - I left a basket outside the door. 275 00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:21,553 He's got less spirit than Father and more mouths to feed. 276 00:24:21,726 --> 00:24:26,459 The master'll try anything to get them back. How are you gonna stop 'em going to work? 277 00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:29,225 We'll be persuasive. 278 00:24:34,606 --> 00:24:36,665 Where I come from in the South 279 00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:41,039 if the field laborers strike, the seed would not be sown and there'd be no harvest. 280 00:24:41,213 --> 00:24:44,979 - So? - What would become of the farms? 281 00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:49,086 The farmers would have to give them up or maybe they could pay a fair wage! 282 00:24:49,254 --> 00:24:51,814 Suppose they couldn't, even if they wished to? 283 00:24:52,023 --> 00:24:55,515 Then they'd have no corn to sell and no wages to pay the next year. 284 00:24:55,694 --> 00:25:00,563 I don't know about the South! I've heard there are a lot of unspirited, downtrodden men. 285 00:25:07,439 --> 00:25:12,376 I'm sure I'm very ignorant. But surely not all the masters would withhold pay with no reason. 286 00:25:12,544 --> 00:25:14,705 You're a foreigner. You know nothing. 287 00:25:16,014 --> 00:25:19,950 To hell with Thornton's, Slickson's, Hamper's. 288 00:25:20,652 --> 00:25:22,677 To hell with the lot of them. 289 00:25:22,854 --> 00:25:28,451 - Is Mr. Thornton really as bad as the rest? - He's a fighter, fierce as a bulldog. 290 00:25:28,627 --> 00:25:30,959 He's better-looking, surely, than a bulldog? 291 00:25:31,129 --> 00:25:33,723 He'll stick to his word like a dog. 292 00:25:33,899 --> 00:25:38,302 He's worth fighting with. That's the best I'll say for him. 293 00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:40,995 I'll not argue with you, miss. 294 00:25:41,172 --> 00:25:43,470 See you later, lass. 295 00:25:48,179 --> 00:25:51,546 He doesn't mean to shout. They're all nerves at the minute. 296 00:25:51,716 --> 00:25:54,617 - Where's he going? - Golden Dragon. 297 00:25:54,786 --> 00:25:58,017 He has a pint pot to... calm himself sometimes. 298 00:25:58,189 --> 00:26:01,852 He talks so certain, but he's worried about keeping the strike together. 299 00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:06,623 There's a lot of men, and not all of them have the same discipline as Father. 300 00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,010 Ah, Mrs. Thornton! 301 00:26:20,178 --> 00:26:23,045 I hope it is silent enough for you tonight, Mr. Hale. 302 00:26:23,648 --> 00:26:27,812 The men have been gracious enough to turn out for the last month 303 00:26:27,986 --> 00:26:30,750 so all is quiet for our dinner party. 304 00:26:38,363 --> 00:26:40,354 I'm sorry that your mother is ill. 305 00:26:40,532 --> 00:26:44,525 It's nothing serious, I'm sure. She is just a little tired. 306 00:26:46,571 --> 00:26:50,302 I wonder if she might like to try the water mattress. 307 00:26:50,475 --> 00:26:54,673 It's the very latest thing, a mattress that fills with water. 308 00:26:54,846 --> 00:26:57,337 Gives great comfort to the back. 309 00:26:57,549 --> 00:27:02,009 - Have you been ill, Miss Thornton? - Oh, no, no. I am very delicate. 310 00:27:02,187 --> 00:27:04,849 I send off for the latest inventions, just in case. 311 00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:07,348 Mother doesn't approve. 312 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,955 Ah, Thornton, good evening. 313 00:27:11,129 --> 00:27:14,155 Slickson, good evening. Henderson. Watson. 314 00:27:21,406 --> 00:27:26,173 Thornton. I took the liberty of inviting myself, knowing your mother's hospitality. 315 00:27:26,344 --> 00:27:31,077 I hope you're not worrying about Marlborough Mills? We'll ride out the strike as we always have. 316 00:27:31,249 --> 00:27:35,242 - I've always had faith in you, but this situation... - It's nothing I can't handle. 317 00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:40,915 No, of course not. Thornton knows everything in matters of business. He has my every confidence. 318 00:27:41,092 --> 00:27:43,652 Thornton, you know Miss Latimer? 319 00:27:47,732 --> 00:27:50,860 Thornton, who's that fine young lady? 320 00:28:03,048 --> 00:28:06,211 See, I am learning Milton ways, Mr. Thornton. 321 00:28:06,384 --> 00:28:09,114 I am sorry your mother was unable to join us. 322 00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:13,681 Thornton, I must speak with you. 323 00:28:17,095 --> 00:28:19,154 Excuse me. 324 00:28:24,803 --> 00:28:27,829 - Have you left word at the barracks? - It's been done. 325 00:28:28,006 --> 00:28:31,567 - Men on horseback, armed? - All those arrangements have been made. 326 00:28:31,743 --> 00:28:34,735 If they find out you are planning to break the strike... 327 00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:38,041 I take this risk for myself. You need not join in. 328 00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:42,878 I can and will protect myself and anyone that works for me from any kind of violence. 329 00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:45,648 I sincerely hope so. 330 00:28:45,824 --> 00:28:48,156 Thornton is most ungallant this evening, 331 00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:53,127 leaving the most glorious woman in the room to talk to that slimy eel Slickson. 332 00:28:53,298 --> 00:28:57,826 Now, then, who can we introduce you to? Come with me. 333 00:29:04,609 --> 00:29:08,101 I hear Arnold is moving, lock, stock and barrel, to America. 334 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:10,543 America? I'll be damned. 335 00:29:10,715 --> 00:29:15,880 That's what I'd like to do, pack up and leave. The damn strikers'd have no work at all then. 336 00:29:16,054 --> 00:29:18,113 They have no work at the moment. 337 00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:21,122 There is work. They choose not to do it. 338 00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,785 Thornton? What do you think? 339 00:29:24,963 --> 00:29:30,401 I think our Mr. Bell is up to his old tricks, playing with words at the expense of us simpler fellows. 340 00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:34,070 But it's a serious question. 341 00:29:34,239 --> 00:29:36,366 I don't want to manufacture in another country 342 00:29:36,574 --> 00:29:40,533 but it's logical for others to try if they cannot make a profit here. 343 00:29:40,712 --> 00:29:44,614 What do you think, Miss Hale? Surely you don't condone the strikers. 344 00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:49,914 Well, no. And yes. It is surely good to try to see both sides of a question. 345 00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:55,950 Mrs. Arthur saw you taking a basket to the Princeton district the other afternoon. 346 00:29:59,397 --> 00:30:03,356 I have a good friend in Princeton. Her name is Bessy Higgins. 347 00:30:03,535 --> 00:30:07,733 Higgins? Isn't he one of your union leaders, Hamper? 348 00:30:07,906 --> 00:30:12,275 Yeah. He's a terrific firebrand. A dangerous man. 349 00:30:12,443 --> 00:30:15,173 I'm surprised, Miss Hale, you keep such company. 350 00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:20,647 - Bessy is my friend. Nicholas is a little... - Nicholas? She's on first-name terms? 351 00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:25,722 Well, Mr. Higgins has been made a little wild by circumstances. 352 00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:28,188 But he speaks from his heart, I'm sure. 353 00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:31,658 If he's so determined, I'm surprised he'll accept charity. 354 00:30:32,897 --> 00:30:37,732 Well, he doesn't for himself. The basket was for a man whose six children are starving. 355 00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:41,770 Ah, well. Then he knows what to do. Go back to work. 356 00:30:44,342 --> 00:30:49,575 I believe this poor starving fellow works at Marlborough Mills, doesn't he, Margaret? 357 00:30:53,651 --> 00:30:58,315 You do the man, whoever he is, more harm than good with your basket. 358 00:30:59,023 --> 00:31:04,086 You could say the longer you support the strikers, the more you prolong the strike. 359 00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:07,624 That is not kindness. 360 00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:12,168 They will be defeated but it will take longer. Their pain will be prolonged. 361 00:31:14,505 --> 00:31:18,999 But surely to give a dying baby food is not just a question of logic? 362 00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:23,671 Mrs. Thornton, I really must congratulate you on these magnificent... 363 00:31:23,848 --> 00:31:26,248 ...um, table settings. 364 00:31:28,052 --> 00:31:31,510 I don't believe I've seen finer table decorations 365 00:31:31,689 --> 00:31:34,590 even in the grandest gatherings in Harley Street. 366 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:37,057 Not all masters are the same, Mr. Bell. 367 00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:42,063 You do us an injustice to always think we're all up to some underhand scheme or other. 368 00:31:57,448 --> 00:32:00,008 Do come in. Maria may still be up. 369 00:32:06,357 --> 00:32:08,791 Margaret? 370 00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:15,792 Who was that, Dixon? 371 00:32:15,967 --> 00:32:19,368 - Who? - The man I saw leaving the house. 372 00:32:19,537 --> 00:32:21,664 - What man? - Dixon. 373 00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:28,473 It was the doctor. Dr. Donaldson. 374 00:32:28,646 --> 00:32:31,615 - Mother? - He was making his usual visit. 375 00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:35,685 His usual visit? How long has he been coming here? 376 00:32:50,268 --> 00:32:52,395 Margaret! 377 00:32:53,504 --> 00:32:56,200 Why are you hiding over there? 378 00:33:07,952 --> 00:33:09,977 Oh, now, now!

What were you thinking of? 505 00:46:38,395 --> 00:46:40,659 Everything was done properly. 506 00:46:40,831 --> 00:46:46,861 Dr. Donaldson was called. I went for him myself as no one else seemed to have a mind to go. 507 00:46:47,037 --> 00:46:50,029 Thank you. The streets were dangerous. You... 508 00:46:50,207 --> 00:46:55,304 I'm sure it's not possible to keep a headstrong young woman anywhere she doesn't care to be. 509 00:46:56,446 --> 00:46:58,846 She's such a reckless young woman. 510 00:46:59,016 --> 00:47:03,009 - Jane, have you nothing to be getting on with? - Miss Fanny, sir... 511 00:47:03,187 --> 00:47:08,819 I was so scared!
