Show her in.
[WHISPERING] I might make
my excuses and go back upstairs.
Mrs.
Priestley, ma'am.
Miss Parkhill!
- How are you?
- Well.
Thank you.
Good.
And how's the invalid?
Mr.
Ainsworth has gone for his
meeting with the church trustees,
so I thought I'd come
and have a look at you.
I don't know how close
you and Miss Walker are
and I don't know if you're at all aware,
but the family are
increasingly concerned about
a relationship
that she appears to
have become inveigled in.
Oh.
Yes.
- She mentioned
- Mentioned what?
Being in love.
Did she?
Mm-hmm.
Well
she's certainly been beguiled
by someone.
And if this one hesitates
to call it a liaison
but if it were to become any
more widely known than it is,
she would become a laughingstock
Well, it would be worse than that.
It would be
I don't know what it would be.
She'd be ostracized from polite
from any society.
I don't think she has any idea.
She'd be jeered at in the streets.
Worse! She'd be pilloried.
Two men were hanged in York
For what?
Mr.
Ainsworth
may have been a bit quick off the mark,
and he may lack a certain gravitas.
But there are reasons
why, Miss Parkhill.
You would be doing Miss Walker
an act of great friendship
if you were to encourage her
to take up his offer of marriage.
I did.
I did, but she said she couldn't
because she was in love
with this other man.
Mrs.
Priestley, who is he?
What do you mean about
two men being hanged?
You've been here for several days.
You've met Miss Lister.
You no doubt find her
fascinating and charming.
Miss Lister?
Yes.
She is.
Very.
Miss Lister is unnatural,
Miss Parkhill.
I know she studied Science
under Monsieur Cuvier in Paris.
No.
No.
No, not that.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[METALLIC CLINK]
You're home early.
Mr.
Pickels didn't need me,
so I thought I'd get on wi' t'fencing
at t'bottom o' t'field.
I found this in wi' t'pigs.
It's your father's.
It
were my father's before.
So I recognize it.
He always
[SIGHS]
Your father used to say
you could get rid of a whole human
body by feeding it to t'pigs.
He usually said it when
he were drunk, shouting.
I often used to wonder
if that's how I'd end up.
"The only thing they can't
eat, of course", he'd say
trying to prove he
could get away wi' it
"Is metal".
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Hello?
- How do? Only me.
- [CLEARS THROAT]
Saw you coming past on t'upper road,
wondered if you'd done for t'day.
Only I've a couple of jobs need doing
if you fancy earning a shilling or two.
I can do, aye.
How's little Henry?
He's gonna go to school.
We've just heard.
Mr.
Washington just called in.
Miss Lister's found him a place
at a little school in Lightcliffe.
She's paying his fees.
And we never we never asked her!
Oh, well, that's something, isn't it?
- Aye.
Oh, he's thrilled!
- Yeah.
It's fair taken him out of himself.
A schoolboy!
Very good.
Any news
about Sam?
We, uh, think he must
have walked to Liverpool,
sneaked on board a packet,
and gone to America.
Don't we, love?
America?
Yeah, yeah.
It's what he allus talked about doing
if he hadn't had all of
us hanging round his neck.
Blimey, it's a long way.
I don't fancy that voyage.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
How did you get on?
How did you get on, Mr.
Ainsworth?
I think, uh,
perhaps it was you were right.
Perhaps it was too soon.
Oh, dear.
Given that Miss Walker
seems to have developed
such coolness and antipathy towards me
since my wife's death,
I do wonder if
even if I was offered the position,
which I'm afraid to say
may be unlikely now
it would be
foolish and unwise
of me to accept it.
But surely that isn't the only reason
you wanted the position?
No, of course not.
But to live in such close
proximity to someone who
one has held in such high esteem
and then to be regarded
with such obvious disdain
by that person, it would be
painful to us both, surely.
I couldn't sleep.
The pain was just as bad,
however I tried to lie.
Has she gone?
Some time since.
You all right?
Harriet?
Ann
I think you're in the
worst kind of danger
Both in this world
and the next.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Mm.
Hello.
There's a note for you, ma'am.
The servant brought it from Crow Nest.
You said earlier
you said you wanted a word with me.
Hmm?
Oh, yes.
Keep an eye on Eugénie.
And next time, any irregularities,
I'm your first thought.
Well, yes, ma'am, of course.
You're always my first thought, but
That's all.
[SIGHS]
My love,
I must beg you not to send
for the ring you spoke of just yet.
I must not and cannot take it
until I have fewer
torments of conscience.
I cannot say that I feel
any stronger this evening,
and so, weak as I am,
have concluded that it
would be madness in me
to leave the kingdom
and go traveling with you
at any point in the near future.
Yours faithfully and affectionately,
Ann Walker.
[LIGHTHEARTED MUSIC]
My love,
you must remember that conscience
is not always strictly just.
She may be too lenient or two severe.
She may be lulled to sleep
or tossed in feverish restlessness.
We cannot judge ourselves,
and I cannot believe you deserve
your "torments of conscience".
Tomorrow we will talk over any plan
most likely to reestablish your health.
I will be with you first
thing in the morning.
