She can smell it when you're not working. 3 00:01:01,515 --> 00:01:05,513 - You there! Is the machine mended? - Yeah. 4 00:01:05,673 --> 00:01:09,068 Then use it, for there's many to take your place. 5 00:01:22,658 --> 00:01:26,376 - The child is ill. Send her home. - I can't afford to. 6 00:01:26,536 --> 00:01:28,533 The child cannot work. 7 00:01:31,210 --> 00:01:33,490 Is there another child at home? 8 00:01:34,288 --> 00:01:37,845 If you can get her here within the hour you can keep the place. 9 00:01:38,045 --> 00:01:40,124 Thank you. 10 00:01:40,324 --> 00:01:42,682 In the hour, mind, or lose it. 11 00:01:55,311 --> 00:01:57,630 Whatever you think best, Mother. 12 00:01:57,790 --> 00:02:01,307 You know how this mill works almost better than I do. 13 00:02:03,226 --> 00:02:06,704 You ask me what I miss most about the countryside. 14 00:02:06,904 --> 00:02:11,418 Well, Edith, in Milton you cannot feel the seasons change around you 15 00:02:11,578 --> 00:02:15,576 but I do think that at long last we have put winter behind us 16 00:02:15,736 --> 00:02:18,452 and I can resume my daily walks. 17 00:02:18,612 --> 00:02:23,409 - I don't know why you're blaming me. - Play your tricks. If you're wrong, we all suffer. 18 00:02:23,568 --> 00:02:28,965 - They wanted 5%. Would you have given it them? - No, but I would have told them straight. 19 00:02:29,125 --> 00:02:33,960 I wouldn't tell them to come back on payday so I could turn them down flat and provoke them. 20 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,757 - Are you accusing me of encouraging a strike? - Wouldn't it have suited you? 21 00:02:38,916 --> 00:02:41,274 It's our livelihood you're playing with. 22 00:02:41,474 --> 00:02:46,790 - You would handle your workers better? - I wouldn't deliberately deceive them. Good day. 23 00:02:52,025 --> 00:02:54,105 Here is the address of our doctor. 24 00:02:56,342 --> 00:03:00,539 You did not need to visit in person. You could have sent a servant. 25 00:03:01,699 --> 00:03:07,254 You've been in this heathen climate for some time. I'm surprised you haven't needed a doctor. 26 00:03:07,414 --> 00:03:12,369 We don't. I came here personally because I didn't want to alarm my father. 27 00:03:12,529 --> 00:03:14,927 It's just a precaution, in case. 28 00:03:15,087 --> 00:03:17,085 My mother has low spirits. 29 00:03:17,245 --> 00:03:21,202 Really? We don't have much of that up here. 30 00:03:21,402 --> 00:03:24,320 But Dr. Donaldson will try to help if he can. 31 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,558 I'm sorry to disturb you. 32 00:03:26,718 --> 00:03:29,036 You do not disturb me. 33 00:03:29,196 --> 00:03:34,671 But even you, not remotely interested in industry, might know that there is talk of a strike. 34 00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:38,468 Not just here, but one that will affect the whole of Milton. 35 00:03:38,628 --> 00:03:41,505 What would they gain by striking? 36 00:03:41,665 --> 00:03:44,304 They'll be wanting higher wages? 37 00:03:44,464 --> 00:03:46,902 That is what they will say. 38 00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:49,899 But the truth is... 39 00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:54,217 ...that there are some men raise themselves to be masters, 40 00:03:54,415 --> 00:03:57,932 while others will always seek to pull them down. 41 00:03:58,292 --> 00:04:00,970 That is the way of the world, Miss Hale, 42 00:04:01,130 --> 00:04:03,528 and there is nothing you and I can do about it. 43 00:04:17,597 --> 00:04:19,754 I need three over here! 44 00:04:19,954 --> 00:04:23,552 Hello, Miss Margaret! Been visiting the old dragon? 45 00:04:23,751 --> 00:04:26,829 - Hello, Jenny. How's your mother? - Little better, miss. 46 00:04:30,226 --> 00:04:34,183 - Do you like working here? - Like it? Like work? 47 00:04:34,383 --> 00:04:39,259 It's the same as anywhere. Well, it's better than Hamper's. You can only earn four shillings there. 48 00:04:39,419 --> 00:04:43,416 I earn five and ten up here but my dad makes me give him most of it. 49 00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:46,054 What would you spend it on, if you could? 50 00:04:46,214 --> 00:04:51,050 Food, and then more food. A pile of it, great big plates. 51 00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:53,728 So, would you join a strike? 52 00:04:53,928 --> 00:04:57,683 Well, I'm not saying there will be one. Just if there was. 53 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,957 Your mother has kindly given me the name of a doctor. 54 00:05:06,156 --> 00:05:10,275 - You're ill? - No. No, it's just a precaution. 55 00:05:14,591 --> 00:05:18,429 Your mother is always accusing me of knowing nothing about Milton. 56 00:05:18,587 --> 00:05:21,944 Doubt she meant you should hang on to their tittle-tattle. 57 00:05:22,104 --> 00:05:24,184 They weren't telling me any secrets. 58 00:05:24,343 --> 00:05:27,700 There was a man with a survey here. It's the new thing. 59 00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:31,498 They become practiced at telling others their working conditions. 60 00:05:31,658 --> 00:05:34,734 - Do you mind that, if they tell the truth? - Course not. 61 00:05:34,934 --> 00:05:39,012 I don't apologize to anyone about the wages I pay or how I run Marlborough Mills. 62 00:05:39,171 --> 00:05:41,489 It's in plain sight for all to see. 63 00:05:41,649 --> 00:05:44,006 What about how they spend their money? 64 00:05:44,206 --> 00:05:46,524 That would be none of my business. 65 00:05:46,684 --> 00:05:51,361 My duty is to the running of the mill. If I neglect that, all the workers will cease to have an income. 66 00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:53,958 But what about your moral duty? 67 00:05:54,118 --> 00:05:58,435 If she keeps to her hours and does nothing to disrupt the efficient working of the mill, 68 00:05:58,595 --> 00:06:01,152 what she does in her own time's not my concern. 69 00:06:01,312 --> 00:06:04,391 Here in the North, we value our independence. 70 00:06:04,551 --> 00:06:06,828 But surely you must take an interest? 71 00:06:08,147 --> 00:06:13,623 I'm her employer. I'm not her father or her brother that I can command her to do as I please. 72 00:06:14,383 --> 00:06:16,940 Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Hale. 73 00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:20,458 I would like to play the overbearing master 74 00:06:20,617 --> 00:06:24,614 but I'll answer your questions as honestly as I'm sure you ask them. 75 00:06:31,848 --> 00:06:34,846 Now, if you'll excuse me, I've urgent business. 76 00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,643 All the time there she is, 77 00:06:37,803 --> 00:06:41,521 looking down on us like a great black angry crow guarding the nest. 78 00:06:41,721 --> 00:06:44,637 As if I would ever consider her son as a suitor! 79 00:06:44,797 --> 00:06:47,236 Don't say you haven't thought about it. 80 00:06:47,396 --> 00:06:50,753 Mind you, you'd have to get some smarter clothes. 81 00:06:50,953 --> 00:06:54,510 Thank you! I'll have you know these were new last year! 82 00:06:54,670 --> 00:06:56,788 Not a chance. There's loads of girls after him. 83 00:06:56,988 --> 00:06:59,545 They're welcome to him, with my good wishes. 84 00:07:00,105 --> 00:07:04,141 I can say this. If I ever have a son I'll not hang on to him like she does. 85 00:07:05,101 --> 00:07:10,458 Well, I'll never be having children of any sort, so that won't be a problem. 86 00:07:14,055 --> 00:07:16,413 Bessy, is it really so bad? 87 00:07:20,530 --> 00:07:24,725 Fluff on me lungs. Won't go away, however much I cough. 88 00:07:24,925 --> 00:07:29,362 At least I won't grow too old and ugly! There is that. 89 00:07:29,561 --> 00:07:34,238 - And this happened at Marlborough Mills? - No. No. 90 00:07:35,197 --> 00:07:40,032 Must've happened when I were little. We didn't know of these things then. We all had to work. 91 00:07:41,592 --> 00:07:45,469 When Father found out, he moved me straightaway to Thornton's. 92 00:07:46,387 --> 00:07:50,625 - He loves you very much, doesn't he? - Yes. 93 00:07:51,904 --> 00:07:55,620 Fathers and daughters. Mothers and sons. 94 00:07:56,700 --> 00:08:00,256 So maybe we shouldn't be too hard on old battleaxe Thornton! 95 00:08:00,976 --> 00:08:05,413 Maybe your mother would be just the same if she had a son. 96 00:08:05,573 --> 00:08:08,809 She does... have a son. 97 00:08:10,008 --> 00:08:12,008 I have a brother. 98 00:08:12,168 --> 00:08:16,603 - Why didn't you ever say so before? - Because we don't talk about him. 99 00:08:16,763 --> 00:08:18,602 Come on, I could do with a good story. 100 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,557 I cried when Fred left home. So did Mother. 101 00:08:25,717 --> 00:08:28,353 But he was desperate to go to sea 102 00:08:28,513 --> 00:08:31,390 and Father thought it would be the making of him. 103 00:08:32,830 --> 00:08:34,828 He left full of hope... 104 00:08:35,788 --> 00:08:38,545 but that was before he sailed with the Captain. 105 00:08:38,705 --> 00:08:41,264 He was a monster. 106 00:08:41,424 --> 00:08:46,699 Once they set sail, he did whatever he liked. He beat the children to within an inch of their lives. 107 00:08:46,859 --> 00:08:49,975 - Couldn't they do anything? - They tried. 108 00:08:50,175 --> 00:08:53,933 Frederick and the others stood up to him. Some wanted to kill him. 109 00:08:54,093 --> 00:08:59,170 Eventually they put the Captain and a few of his officers in a boat and let it loose on the open sea. 110 00:08:59,329 --> 00:09:01,927 The Navy called it a mutiny. 111 00:09:02,087 --> 00:09:04,564 But Frederick really had no choice. 112 00:09:04,764 --> 00:09:07,763 He was branded the ringleader and called a traitor. 113 00:09:13,397 --> 00:09:16,635 Eventually the Navy printed a list of the mutineers 114 00:09:16,795 --> 00:09:19,472 and Fred's name was among them. 115 00:09:20,672 --> 00:09:23,390 It nearly killed my parents. 116 00:09:42,974 --> 00:09:45,532 He was in South America for a few years. 117 00:09:45,692 --> 00:09:47,889 Now he lives in Spain, in Cadiz. 118 00:09:48,089 --> 00:09:51,168 Spain! How romantic! 119 00:09:52,245 --> 00:09:54,764 Sometimes I think I'll never see him again. 120 00:09:54,924 --> 00:09:59,440 But if it could be told how he were put upon, how he defended others against that madman, 121 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,679 surely the law would spare him. 122 00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:07,194 Some of the sailors were caught. They pleaded their case. Captain Reid was clearly insane. 123 00:10:07,394 --> 00:10:10,151 But they were hanged anyway. 124 00:10:10,311 --> 00:10:12,511 No, Frederick's safe in Spain. 125 00:10:12,671 --> 00:10:16,707 But if he comes home he'll be condemned to death, I'm sure. 126 00:10:18,824 --> 00:10:20,902 I suppose you can take comfort 127 00:10:21,062 --> 00:10:26,699 that he was so brave and acted to spare those sailors weaker than himself. 128 00:10:26,898 --> 00:10:28,976 Yes, I do. 129 00:10:29,136 --> 00:10:32,814 But I confess that sometimes I wish he'd been more of a coward 130 00:10:32,973 --> 00:10:36,290 if it meant my mother might see him once more. 131 00:10:54,117 --> 00:10:56,233 Preparations already? 132 00:10:56,433 --> 00:10:59,472 If we're going to entertain, we must do it properly. 133 00:11:01,070 --> 00:11:03,788 You're not regretting the invitations, are you? 134 00:11:03,948 --> 00:11:06,626 No, no. Spend what you will. 135 00:11:07,706 --> 00:11:12,941 Though it may have to be the last dinner party we have for some time. 136 00:11:14,381 --> 00:11:16,457 So, who's on the list? 137 00:11:17,537 --> 00:11:23,172 Slicksons of course. Fosters. Browns will decline, but we must invite them all the same. 138 00:11:23,972 --> 00:11:26,131 Hales will come, I presume? 139 00:11:26,291 --> 00:11:32,246 They are probably aware of the great advantage it would be to Mr. Hale to be introduced to people. 140 00:11:32,406 --> 00:11:34,923 That would not influence them. 141 00:11:35,083 --> 00:11:37,800 How you seem to understand these Hales, John! 142 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,999 Are they so different from any other people we meet? 143 00:11:41,158 --> 00:11:43,476 He seems a worthy kind of man. 144 00:11:43,676 --> 00:11:46,674 Rather too simple for trade. 145 00:11:46,874 --> 00:11:51,190 She's a bit of a fine lady, with all her low spirits! 146 00:11:51,790 --> 00:11:55,268 As for the daughter, she gives herself airs. 147 00:11:55,428 --> 00:11:57,825 Yet they're not rich and they never have been. 148 00:11:57,985 --> 00:12:00,502 She's not accomplished. She can't play the piano. 149 00:12:00,662 --> 00:12:04,020 What else does she lack to bring her up to your standard? 150 00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:08,416 I heard Miss Hale say she could not play myself, John. 151 00:12:10,256 --> 00:12:14,571 If you would let us alone we might perhaps see her merits and like her. 152 00:12:14,731 --> 00:12:16,770 I'm sure I never could. 153 00:12:34,395 --> 00:12:37,113 I wish you would try to like Miss Hale, Mother. 154 00:12:38,273 --> 00:12:40,309 Why? 155 00:12:40,469 --> 00:12:43,547 You've not formed an attachment to her, have you? 156 00:12:43,746 --> 00:12:46,146 Mind you, she'll never have you. 157 00:12:47,424 --> 00:12:51,421 Why, she once laughed in my face at the thought of it! I'm sure she did. 158 00:12:51,621 --> 00:12:53,940 She would never have me. 159 00:12:54,458 --> 00:12:58,016 She has too good an opinion of herself to take you. 160 00:12:58,176 --> 00:13:00,855 I should like to know, will she find anyone better? 161 00:13:01,015 --> 00:13:06,129 You can both believe me, then, when I say this out of complete indifference to Miss Hale. 162 00:13:06,289 --> 00:13:11,925 Mr. Hale is my friend. She is his only daughter. I wish you'd both make an effort to befriend her. 163 00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:16,400 I only wish I knew why you talked about her so much. I'm tired of it. 164 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:21,477 What would you like us to talk about? How about a strike for a more pleasant topic? 165 00:13:25,833 --> 00:13:28,632 Now, now listen! 166 00:13:28,831 --> 00:13:32,988 The men up at Hamper's have been told not to expect a rise! 167 00:13:35,266 --> 00:13:39,383 - What about Slickson's? - Thornton will tell us Friday! 168 00:13:39,543 --> 00:13:42,741 - So, what do you reckon? - Strike! 169 00:13:46,976 --> 00:13:49,095 I thought so. 170 00:13:49,294 --> 00:13:54,930 Now is the time. We will all stop our machines at the end of the day Friday, 10 minutes before time! 171 00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:58,088 And no one, no one will start them up! 172 00:14:03,963 --> 00:14:09,398 What if Slickson decides to offer, do anything to keep his mill working at advantage of others? 173 00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:11,876 Then you still come out. 174 00:14:12,475 --> 00:14:15,553 Remember, if we all refuse to work 175 00:14:15,713 --> 00:14:18,670 we are the strong ones! 176 00:14:18,830 --> 00:14:24,347 - How long d'you think the masters will last out? - A week, two weeks at most. 177 00:14:24,507 --> 00:14:26,623 What if they send in for hands from Ireland? 178 00:14:26,783 --> 00:14:31,021 - Thornton will. He'd die before being dictated to. - I'll take him down! 179 00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:34,138 And any Irishman who takes our wages! 180 00:14:38,415 --> 00:14:40,413 Listen! No! 181 00:14:40,612 --> 00:14:42,572 No violence! 182 00:14:42,772 --> 00:14:45,329 Masters expect us to behave like animals. 183 00:14:45,489 --> 00:14:48,246 We will show them we are thinking men. 184 00:14:49,046 --> 00:14:51,484 We will not be out-thought. 185 00:14:51,644 --> 00:14:54,202 The only enemy of the strike is ourselves! 186 00:14:54,362 --> 00:14:57,160 Now, we must manage this strike well! 187 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,476 Not like five years ago, when half of us went back to work before the others. 188 00:15:01,676 --> 00:15:03,355 Aye. 189 00:15:03,515 --> 00:15:05,834 - Is that understood? - Aye. 190 00:15:06,513 --> 00:15:11,468 This is it. We keep together. Friday evening it is! 191 00:15:11,628 --> 00:15:13,866 Friday! 192 00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:36,008 Are the hands about to turn out? 193 00:15:36,208 --> 00:15:38,687 They're waiting for me to turn down their demands. 194 00:15:38,885 --> 00:15:41,364 Are there many orders in hand? 195 00:15:41,524 --> 00:15:44,362 Of course. We know that well enough. 196 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,519 The Americans are flooding the market. 197 00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:52,755 Our only chance is producing at a lower price and faster. 198 00:15:52,955 --> 00:15:57,071 But the faster we fill the orders, the longer it takes to be paid. 199 00:15:57,230 --> 00:15:59,590 How much are we owed? 200 00:16:02,147 --> 00:16:04,784 The debt to the bank is nearly £400. 201 00:16:06,904 --> 00:16:09,183 The men are less patient. 202 00:16:10,221 --> 00:16:12,858 They've barely made up pay since their last cut. 203 00:16:13,058 --> 00:16:15,017 Why don't they listen? 204 00:16:15,217 --> 00:16:20,012 They think that just by putting their ignorant heads together they'll get their way. 205 00:16:20,172 --> 00:16:25,528 Don't worry, Mother. It's a young industry. These problems will iron themselves out. 206 00:16:26,447 --> 00:16:29,006 We're not yet in the position of selling up. 207 00:16:29,166 --> 00:16:32,961 Can't you get men from Ireland? Then you can get rid of the strikers. 208 00:16:33,161 --> 00:16:38,118 I would. I'd teach them I was master and could employ who I like. 209 00:16:38,278 --> 00:16:42,074 Yes, I can. And I will too, if the strike lasts. 210 00:16:43,314 --> 00:16:47,670 It'll be trouble and expense but I will do it rather than give in. 211 00:16:55,344 --> 00:16:57,942 If there is to be this extra expense 212 00:16:58,102 --> 00:17:01,259 I'm sorry we're giving the dinner this year. 213 00:17:01,419 --> 00:17:03,697 We should go on as before. 214 00:17:03,897 --> 00:17:06,694 No more, no less. 215 00:17:20,643 --> 00:17:24,521 There, now, Mother. Surely one of these will do for the Thorntons'... 216 00:17:24,681 --> 00:17:28,916 - Excuse me. - Ah, and this is Margaret, of course. 217 00:17:29,076 --> 00:17:33,873 The last time I saw you, you were eight, running round Helstone with your brother. 218 00:17:34,073 --> 00:17:36,110 Mr. Bell! Of course! 219 00:17:36,830 --> 00:17:38,469 How do you do? 220 00:17:38,709 --> 00:17:44,584 I thought that she would grow into a handsome young woman, but this goddess I never imagined. 221 00:17:44,744 --> 00:17:46,983 Margaret will not understand your humor. 222 00:17:47,183 --> 00:17:49,940 - No offence, my dear. - Of course not. 223 00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:54,217 I am pleased you've come to visit at last. 224 00:17:54,377 --> 00:17:59,212 With this talk of strikes, I thought I'd check with my banker whether I should sell up my property. 225 00:17:59,372 --> 00:18:03,409 Surely not. We're not even certain there'll be a strike, are we, Father? 226 00:18:03,569 --> 00:18:08,126 I don't know. Seems to me that masters and workers will never see eye to eye. 227 00:18:08,286 --> 00:18:12,561 In my teaching capacity, I meet many a working man. 228 00:18:12,721 --> 00:18:14,721 They have some dreadful tales 229 00:18:14,921 --> 00:18:17,597 and speak from the heart 230 00:18:17,757 --> 00:18:21,154 and have arguments for the strike which appear entirely logical. 231 00:18:21,354 --> 00:18:26,831 You know, they suffered a pay cut five years ago and have never got back to those wages. 232 00:18:26,991 --> 00:18:29,988 No, though the price of food goes up all the time. 233 00:18:30,188 --> 00:18:33,466 But then our friend Thornton comes to read 234 00:18:33,626 --> 00:18:37,143 and he answers my questions 235 00:18:37,861 --> 00:18:41,139 and puts the other side so eloquently... 236 00:18:42,457 --> 00:18:44,935 I truly don't know what to think. 237 00:18:45,095 --> 00:18:49,092 I'm sure Mr. Thornton does put his own view very eloquently. 238 00:18:50,971 --> 00:18:55,328 I'm surprised the Thorntons are having a dinner, with trouble looming. 239 00:18:55,528 --> 00:18:59,323 The Thorntons have a dinner on exactly the same date every year. 240 00:18:59,523 --> 00:19:02,481 Time nor tide stops for Mrs. Thornton's dinners. 241 00:19:02,681 --> 00:19:06,278 - She does not turn back for any man. - Now, that is very true! 242 00:19:06,438 --> 00:19:10,036 - Margaret's made friends amongst the workers. - Really? 243 00:19:10,196 --> 00:19:12,194 Extraordinary girl. 244 00:19:19,309 --> 00:19:22,904 - They've said no? - We were expecting it. 245 00:21:43,112 --> 00:21:46,629 I'm sorry to have taken so long to reply 246 00:21:46,829 --> 00:21:50,425 when you were asking what color would suit the baby best. 247 00:21:50,625 --> 00:21:53,184 I do so long to see him. 248 00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:01,017 I'm sure he'll look splendid in whatever you choose. 249 00:22:01,177 --> 00:22:03,215 I've been very busy. 250 00:22:03,415 --> 00:22:06,973 It's strange, for the rest of Milton is not at work. 251 00:22:13,807 --> 00:22:18,922 The mills have been dark for some weeks and the streets are strangely quiet. 252 00:22:20,482 --> 00:22:23,959 People try to scrape what living they can. 253 00:22:24,158 --> 00:22:27,077 But all around there is desperation. 254 00:22:35,869 --> 00:22:41,025 Both workers and masters are holding fast to their positions. Neither will give way. 255 00:22:41,185 --> 00:22:44,502 No one can say how long the strike will last. 256 00:22:44,702 --> 00:22:47,619 No! My wife! No! 257 00:22:47,779 --> 00:22:51,455 She can't stand the sight of her little 'uns starving. 258 00:22:51,615 --> 00:22:54,454 She'll be dead before we get our five per cent! 259 00:22:54,614 --> 00:22:58,570 I hate you! You and the whole pack of the union! 260 00:22:58,770 --> 00:23:01,249 Said it'd take two weeks. 261 00:23:01,408 --> 00:23:03,407 Two weeks, you said. 262 00:23:03,607 --> 00:23:06,124 It's been twice as long as that 263 00:23:06,284 --> 00:23:10,601 and my little 'uns are lying in their beds too hungry to cry. 264 00:23:11,199 --> 00:23:12,998 Don't. 265 00:23:14,477 --> 00:23:17,196 Now, I told you I would take care of you... 266 00:23:18,674 --> 00:23:21,872 and I pledge my heart and soul that we will win. 267 00:23:22,072 --> 00:23:26,788 You expect a man to watch his children starve 'ere he dare go against the union. 268 00:23:32,823 --> 00:23:36,060 You've no more pity for a man than a pack of hungry wolves. 269 00:23:45,613 --> 00:23:48,330 We do what little we can. 270 00:23:48,490 --> 00:23:51,848 I feel guilty that we do not go hungry, 271 00:23:52,008 --> 00:23:55,085 and helpless in the face of so much suffering. 272 00:24:06,156 --> 00:24:10,074 She's a bit down in the mouth today. The strike's been going on too long. 273 00:24:10,234 --> 00:24:12,351 Do you blame me? 274 00:24:12,551 --> 00:24:16,387 - What about the Bouchers? - I left a basket outside the door. 275 00:24:16,547 --> 00:24:19,705 He's got less spirit than Father and more mouths to feed. 276 00:24:19,865 --> 00:24:24,581 The master'll try anything to get them back. How are you gonna stop 'em going to work? 277 00:24:24,781 --> 00:24:27,379 We'll be persuasive. 278 00:24:32,736 --> 00:24:34,813 Where I come from in the South 279 00:24:35,013 --> 00:24:39,169 if the field laborers strike, the seed would not be sown and there'd be no harvest. 280 00:24:39,329 --> 00:24:43,086 - So? - What would become of the farms? 281 00:24:43,285 --> 00:24:47,204 The farmers would have to give them up or maybe they could pay a fair wage! 282 00:24:47,364 --> 00:24:49,920 Suppose they couldn't, even if they wished to? 283 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,638 Then they'd have no corn to sell and no wages to pay the next year. 284 00:24:53,798 --> 00:24:58,672 I don't know about the South! I've heard there are a lot of unspirited, downtrodden men. 285 00:25:05,548 --> 00:25:10,464 I'm sure I'm very ignorant. But surely not all the masters would withhold pay with no reason. 286 00:25:10,664 --> 00:25:12,822 You're a foreigner. You know nothing. 287 00:25:14,101 --> 00:25:18,057 To hell with Thornton's, Slickson's, Hamper's. 288 00:25:18,737 --> 00:25:20,774 To hell with the lot of them. 289 00:25:20,934 --> 00:25:26,531 - Is Mr. Thornton really as bad as the rest? - He's a fighter, fierce as a bulldog. 290 00:25:26,731 --> 00:25:29,049 He's better-looking, surely, than a bulldog? 291 00:25:29,209 --> 00:25:31,806 He'll stick to his word like a dog. 292 00:25:31,966 --> 00:25:36,403 He's worth fighting with. That's the best I'll say for him. 293 00:25:36,563 --> 00:25:39,080 I'll not argue with you, miss. 294 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,559 See you later, lass. 295 00:25:46,234 --> 00:25:49,632 He doesn't mean to shout. They're all nerves at the minute. 296 00:25:49,792 --> 00:25:52,670 - Where's he going? - Golden Dragon. 297 00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:56,068 He has a pint pot to... calm himself sometimes. 298 00:25:56,268 --> 00:25:59,903 He talks so certain, but he's worried about keeping the strike together. 299 00:26:00,103 --> 00:26:04,700 There's a lot of men, and not all of them have the same discipline as Father. 300 00:26:15,611 --> 00:26:18,050 Ah, Mrs. Thornton! 301 00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:21,087 I hope it is silent enough for you tonight, Mr. Hale. 302 00:26:21,685 --> 00:26:25,844 The men have been gracious enough to turn out for the last month 303 00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:28,801 so all is quiet for our dinner party. 304 00:26:36,395 --> 00:26:38,393 I'm sorry that your mother is ill. 305 00:26:38,553 --> 00:26:42,549 It's nothing serious, I'm sure. She is just a little tired. 306 00:26:44,587 --> 00:26:48,344 I wonder if she might like to try the water mattress. 307 00:26:48,504 --> 00:26:52,701 It's the very latest thing, a mattress that fills with water. 308 00:26:52,861 --> 00:26:55,339 Gives great comfort to the back. 309 00:26:55,578 --> 00:27:00,015 - Have you been ill, Miss Thornton? - Oh, no, no. I am very delicate. 310 00:27:00,215 --> 00:27:02,852 I send off for the latest inventions, just in case. 311 00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:05,371 Mother doesn't approve. 312 00:27:06,770 --> 00:27:08,968 Ah, Thornton, good evening. 313 00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:12,166 Slickson, good evening. Henderson. Watson. 314 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,155 Thornton. I took the liberty of inviting myself, knowing your mother's hospitality. 315 00:27:24,355 --> 00:27:29,072 I hope you're not worrying about Marlborough Mills? We'll ride out the strike as we always have. 316 00:27:29,232 --> 00:27:33,228 - I've always had faith in you, but this situation... - It's nothing I can't handle. 317 00:27:33,428 --> 00:27:38,904 No, of course not. Thornton knows everything in matters of business. He has my every confidence. 318 00:27:39,064 --> 00:27:41,622 Thornton, you know Miss Latimer? 319 00:27:45,697 --> 00:27:48,856 Thornton, who's that fine young lady? 320 00:28:01,006 --> 00:28:04,165 See, I am learning Milton ways, Mr. Thornton. 321 00:28:04,364 --> 00:28:07,081 I am sorry your mother was unable to join us. 322 00:28:09,598 --> 00:28:11,638 Thornton, I must speak with you. 323 00:28:15,035 --> 00:28:17,113 Excuse me. 324 00:28:22,750 --> 00:28:25,787 - Have you left word at the barracks? - It's been done. 325 00:28:25,947 --> 00:28:29,503 - Men on horseback, armed? - All those arrangements have been made. 326 00:28:29,703 --> 00:28:32,660 If they find out you are planning to break the strike... 327 00:28:32,860 --> 00:28:35,978 I take this risk for myself. You need not join in. 328 00:28:36,738 --> 00:28:40,814 I can and will protect myself and anyone that works for me from any kind of violence. 329 00:28:40,974 --> 00:28:43,572 I sincerely hope so. 330 00:28:43,772 --> 00:28:46,091 Thornton is most ungallant this evening, 331 00:28:46,251 --> 00:28:51,045 leaving the most glorious woman in the room to talk to that slimy eel Slickson. 332 00:28:51,205 --> 00:28:55,761 Now, then, who can we introduce you to? Come with me. 333 00:29:02,516 --> 00:29:06,034 I hear Arnold is moving, lock, stock and barrel, to America. 334 00:29:06,194 --> 00:29:08,471 America? I'll be damned. 335 00:29:08,631 --> 00:29:13,788 That's what I'd like to do, pack up and leave. The damn strikers'd have no work at all then. 336 00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:16,025 They have no work at the moment. 337 00:29:16,185 --> 00:29:19,022 There is work. They choose not to do it. 338 00:29:20,142 --> 00:29:22,700 Thornton? What do you think? 339 00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:28,297 I think our Mr. Bell is up to his old tricks, playing with words at the expense of us simpler fellows. 340 00:29:29,533 --> 00:29:31,973 But it's a serious question. 341 00:29:32,133 --> 00:29:34,250 I don't want to manufacture in another country 342 00:29:34,450 --> 00:29:38,407 but it's logical for others to try if they cannot make a profit here. 343 00:29:38,607 --> 00:29:42,484 What do you think, Miss Hale? Surely you don't condone the strikers. 344 00:29:42,684 --> 00:29:47,799 Well, no. And yes. It is surely good to try to see both sides of a question. 345 00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:53,835 Mrs. Arthur saw you taking a basket to the Princeton district the other afternoon. 346 00:29:57,272 --> 00:30:01,229 I have a good friend in Princeton. Her name is Bessy Higgins. 347 00:30:01,389 --> 00:30:05,586 Higgins? Isn't he one of your union leaders, Hamper? 348 00:30:05,784 --> 00:30:10,143 Yeah. He's a terrific firebrand. A dangerous man. 349 00:30:10,303 --> 00:30:13,018 I'm surprised, Miss Hale, you keep such company. 350 00:30:13,218 --> 00:30:18,495 - Bessy is my friend. Nicholas is a little... - Nicholas? She's on first-name terms? 351 00:30:18,654 --> 00:30:23,572 Well, Mr. Higgins has been made a little wild by circumstances. 352 00:30:23,732 --> 00:30:26,048 But he speaks from his heart, I'm sure. 353 00:30:26,208 --> 00:30:29,486 If he's so determined, I'm surprised he'll accept charity. 354 00:30:30,726 --> 00:30:35,560 Well, he doesn't for himself. The basket was for a man whose six children are starving. 355 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,597 Ah, well. Then he knows what to do. Go back to work. 356 00:30:42,195 --> 00:30:47,392 I believe this poor starving fellow works at Marlborough Mills, doesn't he, Margaret? 357 00:30:51,469 --> 00:30:56,145 You do the man, whoever he is, more harm than good with your basket. 358 00:30:56,863 --> 00:31:01,899 You could say the longer you support the strikers, the more you prolong the strike. 359 00:31:02,819 --> 00:31:05,457 That is not kindness. 360 00:31:05,617 --> 00:31:09,974 They will be defeated but it will take longer. Their pain will be prolonged. 361 00:31:12,331 --> 00:31:16,807 But surely to give a dying baby food is not just a question of logic? 362 00:31:16,967 --> 00:31:21,484 Mrs. Thornton, I really must congratulate you on these magnificent... 363 00:31:21,643 --> 00:31:24,042 ...um, table settings. 364 00:31:25,841 --> 00:31:29,318 I don't believe I've seen finer table decorations 365 00:31:29,478 --> 00:31:32,396 even in the grandest gatherings in Harley Street. 366 00:31:32,556 --> 00:31:34,833 Not all masters are the same, Mr. Bell. 367 00:31:35,033 --> 00:31:39,869 You do us an injustice to always think we're all up to some underhand scheme or other. 368 00:31:55,218 --> 00:31:57,774 Do come in. Maria may still be up. 369 00:32:04,129 --> 00:32:06,567 Margaret? 370 00:32:11,404 --> 00:32:13,562 Who was that, Dixon? 371 00:32:13,721 --> 00:32:17,120 - Who? - The man I saw leaving the house. 372 00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:19,437 - What man? - Dixon. 373 00:32:23,514 --> 00:32:26,231 It was the doctor.

How long has he been coming here? 376 00:32:48,014 --> 00:32:50,133 Margaret! 377 00:32:51,251 --> 00:32:53,929 Why are you hiding over there? 378 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,678 Oh, now, now!
