Affectionately and
very faithfully yours.
[BELL RINGS]
Miss Lister.
You all right, Miss Parkhill?
I, um
Find I haven't much
appetite this morning.
Oh, dear.
Yes, you do look a bit peaky.
Perhaps a walk?
Do wrap up, though.
It's blowy out there.
I'll be in the other room
if you want my company.
[CLOCK CHIMING FAINTLY]
[SIGHS]
What's happened?
I think
I should take Mr.
Ainsworth.
Has he been here?
No.
No, I haven't seen him.
I don't
I don't think we should do this anymore.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
You haven't sent off
for that ring, have you?
What's been said?
Two men three months
ago were hanged
outside a prison in York
in front of a crowd of thousands
who jeered at them for
for doing what we do with each other.
Who's told you that?
Miss Parkhill.
How does Miss Parkhill know
what we do with each other?
She doesn't, but people are
starting to make assumptions.
- Unless you've told her.
- I would rather die
than people know what we do!
People are making assumptions.
Based on what?
Mrs.
Priestley was here.
[SCOFFS] When?
Yesterday afternoon.
I went to lie down.
That was a mistake.
Well, I'm sorry Mrs.
Priestley
has brought Miss Parkhill
into it, for her sake.
Well, it won't just be Miss Parkhill.
You can guarantee Mrs.
Priestley
will have done the rounds.
Cliffhill, Stoneyroyd, Gledholt,
Lord knows where else.
We'll be the talk of
the entire neighborhood.
The whole of Halifax and Huddersfield
will be making lewd comments about us.
We are friends.
We are respectable
women who are friends,
and that is the beginning and the end.
And if we continue to present ourself
unashamedly in that manner,
then the whole thing finally
will reflect badly
only on Mrs.
Priestley.
[SIGHS]
I've said this before
and I'll say it again,
and it's true.
Have some courage, Ann.
[SIGHS] What men do is completely
different to what we do.
No, it isn't.
Yes, it is.
First of all, between men,
it's illegal; it's a criminal act.
Between women, it isn't.
So
It isn't?
[SIGHS]
We haven't committed a criminal offense.
We can't be hanged for it.
Are you sure?
Yes.
However,
if it were a criminal offense,
if it were to become one,
well, then
I would have to put
my neck in the noose.
Because I love and only
love the fairer sex.
My heart revolts from any
other love than theirs.
These feelings haven't wavered
or deviated since childhood.
I was born like this.
And I act as my
God-given nature dictates.
If I was to lie with a man,
surely that would be unnatural.
Surely that would be against God,
who made us,
every one of us,
in all of our richness
and variety.
You are the same.
You told me so.
You feel a repugnance towards forming
any sort of connection
with the opposite sex.
Shh!
Don't let them poison you against me.
[SNIFFLES] Against us.
We can be happy.
You know we can.
We can have a rich life together.
What if
I were to marry him,
if only for appearance's sake?
We could still see
each other, couldn't we?
That would never do for me.
[SIGHS]
Why should I compromise myself
to lie with another man's wife?
What does that make me?
A liar, a cheat, and a fornicator.
And that is not what I want.
And that is why our present connection
without a more solemn tie,
for me, is wrong.
I want you to be my wi
I want you to be my wife
And everything that that means.
I know we can never have children.
That is a great sadness.
But everything else:
to love
and to cherish and to have and to hold,
according to God's holy ordinance.
Anne.
Anne, I adore you.
When I'm with you,
nothing else matters.
The whole world makes sense, but
but as soon as I'm alone
with nothing but these
oh, God, these thoughts,
I just I can't face
the world like you can,
let alone my own family.
But you never need be alone.
You can be with me always at Shibden.
We can navigate this life
and everything that it
throws at us together.
And with God's blessing
he will give us strength
and courage.
Come on.
We must agreeable-ize
with Miss Parkhill.
- No.
- [SIGHS]
We can't have her sitting
in there on her own, thinking things.
She must see us for what we are:
polite,
kind,
good people.
You don't know how sorry I am
to see you go, Mr.
Ainsworth.
Thank you for your kind hospitality.
Let's hope we meet again, Mr.
Ainsworth.
Let's hope it isn't
too long before we do.

[WHISPERING FORCEFULLY]
Mr.
Whitley, sir!
Good morning, Miss Lister.
Hmm!
James' "Life of Charlemagne".
Yes, that's very good.
I've read that
twice.
It's excellent.
What can I do for you
this morning, Miss Lister?
I'm looking for a Book of Common Prayer.
Gilt-edged, bound
if you have it in
red Moroccan leather
with an attractively marbled flyleaf.
I do have one exactly like that
but at 8 shillings.
Good.
[CHUCKLES]

So what have you heard?
One of the men at Swan
Bank told me this morning
that her land steward has invited bids
for the sinking of a new
pit above Conery Wood.
- Mr.
