- Your wife in?
- Aye, she is.
Hello.
We're fettling the cart.
Good.
Excellent.
You carry on.
Alice, Miss Lister.
Mrs.
Hardcastle, how are you?
Uh, um
Good.
- How are you settling in?
- Oh, very well, thank you.
A all things considered.
We're we're very
suited with the house.
- Is this Henry?
- Uh, yes, ma'am.
And there's no infection, I'm told.
He's he's
been very lucky, he's healing very well.
Very good of you, ma'am.
To pay for Dr.
Kenny.
It was my sister who paid for Dr.
Kenny,
but yes, it was very kind of her.
Still nothing more
about the man in the gig?
Trouble is, ma'am, nobody saw him.
Someone must have seen something.
I went to speak to the constable,
and he said without
information we can't do owt.
You can't go to a magistrate
without information.
Only a certain kind of
person would have the money
to drive a gig like that, so
that narrows down the field.
Has anyone spoken to
Miss Walker's groom?
Because surely if he was facing
the gig as it was approaching
he was in the best
position to see something.
I don't well, we haven't, no.
What do you think, Henry?
Are you a man?
Well, that's a question.
And you are not the
first person to ask it.
I was in Paris once,
dressed extremely well, I thought,
in silk and ribbons,
ringlets in my hair.
Very gay, very ladylike.
And even then, someone
mistook me for a
Mm.
So, no, I am not a man.
I'm a lady.
A woman.
I'm a lady woman.
I'm a woman.
Now, who's this?
Jerry Greenwood.
He's an infantryman
in the Duke of Yorks.
My brother was in the
84th Yorks and Lancs.
He was an ensign.
I taught him how to shoot straight,
and he taught me how
to fight with a sword.
He drowned in a river
in Ireland 18 years ago.
Just turned 20.
Jerry's 19.
Well, then, let's hope he fares better
than my poor Sam did.
Can you really fight with a sword?
After a fashion.
I've never been called upon to do it,
but you never know the day.
Right.
I shall go and talk to this groom
next time I'm at Crow Nest,
and before then, I shall
go and visit Mr.
Rawson
in his capacity as magistrate
and see what he has to say.
Chin up.
Thank you.
Oh.
Oh, no, that's gone in.
Oh.
I'm going to make some
improvements to the estate.
I thought I'd run them past you, Father,
so you know what's going on.
In case I might have an opinion?
So yes.
So I'm going to construct
an ornamental walk
from the garden gate down the Hall Ing
down the side of Calf Croft,
and into Lower Brook Ing.
- Why?
- Then at the top of Lower Brook Ing
because it will look elegant, Marian
I'm going to build an
ornamental moss house,
or a chaumiere, just a small one.
- What for?
- A what?
A chaumiere.
Like a summer house.
- Like an ornament
- Like a shed.
Then, at the same time,
I'm going to put up all of the hedges
in all of the fields below the hall.
- Why, though?
- Really?
Yes, to create more of a park.
A park land.
Because, Marian, I'm sick of the
place looking like an old farm.
It is an old farm.
Shibden Hall
is the oldest house in Halifax.
It dates back, as you know,
to the reign of Henry V and Agincourt.
It's where the first manorial
courts in Halifax were held.
It is not, and never has been, a farm.
And it saddens me
deeply
that people might look at it like that,
so I would thank you very much
not to refer to it as such.
We are Listers.
And Shibden Hall
is our ancestral home.
And it should always
reflect the quiet dignity
of our ancient lineage.
£1,000.
I offered to give him 500,
but he's still asking
to borrow 1,000 more.
And why does your cousin
Atkinson want £1,000 more?
Business? An an investment?
I don't know, it's rather vague.
It's a lot of money to be
vague about to the lender.
Has he named the terms on
which he'll pay you back?
Has he said when he
expects to pay you back?
- Uh
- Has he offered to pay interest?
No, nothing like that.
So these aunts and uncles and cousins
protect you from fortune hunters
and gold diggers out in the world,
but not the ones inside your own family.
What you need, Miss Walker
is a well-worded letter.
You see, it would have
taken me three weeks
to compose a letter
a firm, clear letter like this,
what with, oh, tying myself up
in knots trying not to offend.
And then I'd have been so anxious about
sending the thing, I'd
probably have ended up
throwing it in the wastepaper basket
and just lending him the money anyway
You're a very kind,
good-natured person
Yes, and, no doubt, never see it back.
Who just needs a little
more self-confidence.
If he writes you again, you tell me,
and I'll dictate something else.
Or perhaps now maybe
you'll have the confidence
to compose something yourself.
It is confidence, isn't it?
I never had any.
You see, my aunt at
Cliffhill, she suggested
and arranged this holiday,
this excursion I'm going on
with my cousin Catherine
- Which holiday?
- The week after next.
To the Lake District.
And don't misunderstand me,
I'm I'm very fond of Catherine.
I mean, she's my best friend.
She gave me that paper knife.
How long are you going for?
Three weeks.
And, you see, this is the thing:
three weeks is a long time
to be alone with someone,
even someone that you're fond of.
And, you know, I I might
What,
get fed up with her?
Which one is Catherine?
Um, I'm more concerned that
she might get fed up with me.
Mm.
She's Mr.
