    1/47

    100:01:26,019 --> 00:01:30,479What a business this wedding has been,what an expense.

    200:01:30,657 --> 00:01:36,562

    You know, sometimes, my dear sister,I envy you your little country parsonage.

    300:01:36,729 --> 00:01:40,256You two married for love, I know.

    400:01:40,433 --> 00:01:43,368Now, of course, Edith can afford to do that.

    5

    00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:49,036Go on, Captain! Dance! Dance with your bride.

    600:02:02,789 --> 00:02:05,690- You are bored, Miss Margaret.- No.

    700:02:07,093 --> 00:02:09,118- I'm tired.- Oh.

    800:02:09,295 --> 00:02:14,460I'm exhausted. And a little too grown-upfor ornaments like this.

    900:02:15,635 --> 00:02:19,127When I get married,I want to wake up on a sunny day,

    1000:02:19,305 --> 00:02:22,103

    put on my favorite dressand just walk to the church.

    1100:02:22,275 --> 00:02:24,573There.

    1200:02:26,513 --> 00:02:29,004There. Is that better?

    1300:02:30,250 --> 00:02:33,242

    I think you look very well.

    00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:36,354You would look very well whatever you wore.

    1500:02:36,523 --> 00:02:40,926I love my cousin dearly.I've been very happy in this house.

    1600:02:41,127 --> 00:02:44,119But I'll be even happierto go home to Helstone.

    1700:02:44,297 --> 00:02:47,824Ah, the wonderful Helstone.You cannot be kept away?

    18

    00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:50,492No. I cannot.

    1900:02:50,670 --> 00:02:53,230It's the best place on earth.

    2000:03:16,896 --> 00:03:19,421Margaret. Is that you?

    2100:03:24,103 --> 00:03:27,971

    M... Mr. Lennox. W... what's happened?

    2200:03:28,141 --> 00:03:32,976- Is it Edith? Some accident?- No, no, calm yourself. No such calamity.

    2300:03:33,146 --> 00:03:35,637I have come to visit paradise...

    2400:03:36,516 --> 00:03:38,882...as you suggested.

    2500:03:40,019 --> 00:03:41,782Well...

    2600:03:41,955 --> 00:03:44,014Mr. Lennox.

    2700:03:45,358 --> 00:03:48,020

    Y... You'd better sit down.

    3/47

    00:04:02,642 --> 00:04:04,701This is home.

    2900:04:27,033 --> 00:04:30,628Mama, you remember Mr. Lennox?

    3000:04:30,803 --> 00:04:33,795Oh, yes. Yes. Yes, of course, I...

    3100:04:34,841 --> 00:04:37,173I could walk this routewith my eyes closed.

    3200:04:37,343 --> 00:04:41,609I've been visiting Father's parishioners

    since I was a very small girl.

    3300:04:42,382 --> 00:04:44,873Did you hear what I just said?

    3400:04:45,118 --> 00:04:48,019Sorry, I...

    3500:04:48,187 --> 00:04:51,884I was just remembering your prescription

    for a perfect wedding.

    3600:04:52,058 --> 00:04:54,993"I should like to walk to churchon a sunny morning."

    3700:04:55,161 --> 00:04:57,629Was this the path you were describing?

    3800:04:57,797 --> 00:05:01,460Why, yes, I suppose so, I...

    3900:05:01,634 --> 00:05:05,365wasn't actually thinking of MY wedding,you understand.

    4000:05:05,972 --> 00:05:09,169- I was wondering, Margaret, whether...- Please, don't won...

    4100:05:09,342 --> 00:05:12,743...whether you might consider making that walk,

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    4/47

    4200:05:12,912 --> 00:05:16,814sharing that morningwith one who... Please, listen.

    43

    00:05:16,983 --> 00:05:19,474Please. Don't continue.

    4400:05:20,953 --> 00:05:23,444I'm sorry.

    4500:05:25,091 --> 00:05:26,558Excuse me. I...

    46

    00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:30,526You led me to believe that such an offerwould not be unwelcome.

    4700:05:30,697 --> 00:05:35,225A London girl would know not to talk ofwedding days in such ambiguous terms.

    4800:05:35,401 --> 00:05:38,199Excuse me, I... said nothing I am ashamed of.

    4900:05:38,371 --> 00:05:42,535I... I'm sorry if you have been mistakenin my affections for you.

    5000:05:42,709 --> 00:05:45,200Is there someone else,someone else you prefer?

    5100:05:45,378 --> 00:05:47,710No.

    5200:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,440I do like you, Henry.

    5300:05:50,616 --> 00:05:55,679But I am not ready to marry anyone.You must believe that I mean what I say.

    5400:06:06,699 --> 00:06:08,189

    Henry, I...

    5/47

    00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,795...I- I'm sorry.

    5600:06:32,725 --> 00:06:36,388We'll be on the streets...

    5700:06:37,530 --> 00:06:39,088in a strange place.

    5800:06:39,265 --> 00:06:44,066Mama, I told you, we'll stay at a hoteluntil we find a house. It won't take long.

    5900:06:44,237 --> 00:06:48,037Perhaps Dixon and I could stay

    on the coast while you look.

    6000:06:48,207 --> 00:06:50,767Yes... as the misses is so delicate.

    6100:06:50,943 --> 00:06:55,437No, Maria. Your place is with us.It will not take us long to find a house.

    6200:06:55,615 --> 00:06:59,142

    My old college friend, Mr. Bell,has agreed to help.

    6300:06:59,318 --> 00:07:04,517He's already organized a list of potential pupils.There'll be plenty of teaching for me.

    6400:07:07,794 --> 00:07:12,925There will be no people there like usin Milton. How can there be?

    6500:07:13,666 --> 00:07:17,466We will manage, Mother. It's not another planet.

    6600:07:18,971 --> 00:07:20,871Outward, Milton!

    6700:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,032Outward, Milton!

    6800:07:24,243 --> 00:07:26,541All change!

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    6/47

    6900:07:26,746 --> 00:07:30,204All change for stations north!

    7000:07:30,383 --> 00:07:34,513

    Why have we come here, Dixon?

    7100:07:34,687 --> 00:07:37,554It's going to be awful.

    7200:07:37,757 --> 00:07:40,191- I know it is.- Shh.

    73

    00:07:40,359 --> 00:07:45,023- Outward, Milton!- Dixon. Take care and find a porter.

    7400:07:45,832 --> 00:07:47,231We have arrived.

    7500:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,733All change!

    76

    00:07:53,072 --> 00:07:55,233I see 'im!

    7700:07:55,408 --> 00:07:58,502Porter! Take these, please.

    7800:08:14,293 --> 00:08:16,523We'll find a house faster separately.

    7900:08:16,696 --> 00:08:20,154- Are you sure?- Of course.

    8000:08:36,549 --> 00:08:40,883Eggs, fresh-laid eggs this mornin'!Come and get your eggs!

    8100:08:49,996 --> 00:08:54,365Fresh fruits! Fresh fruits! Fruit and vegetables!

    8200:09:01,774 --> 00:09:05,642- Hello, how are you?

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    7/47

    - All right.

    8300:09:34,774 --> 00:09:38,904- The living room's quite spacious.- The property's not for me.

    8400:09:39,078 --> 00:09:44,072I'm enquiring on behalf ofone of me master's business acquaintances.

    8500:09:46,352 --> 00:09:50,345The man is still living as a clergyman.Or rather a former clergyman.

    8600:09:50,523 --> 00:09:55,756

    He's used to living simply. He's never beena man of great property or fortune.

    8700:10:02,335 --> 00:10:05,862- A matter of conscience, I believe.- Ah, conscience.

    8800:10:06,038 --> 00:10:07,903That never put bread on the table.

    89

    00:10:08,074 --> 00:10:09,598- South, eh?- Mm-hm.

    9000:10:09,775 --> 00:10:13,006A little, er... indiscretion took place, maybe?

    9100:10:13,179 --> 00:10:16,410Well, they do saythe Devil makes work for idle hands.

    9200:10:16,582 --> 00:10:19,847Maybe his hands weren't so idle.

    9300:10:20,019 --> 00:10:24,046- He'll find things a mite different up north.- Oh, aye.

    9400:10:24,223 --> 00:10:27,386I'll make good the repairs,

    but the decoration's good enough.

    95

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    8/47

    00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,553What a business, eh? For a manto uproot his wife and child to Milton.

    9600:10:31,731 --> 00:10:35,565Conscience or no conscience,

    that's strange behavior.

    9700:10:35,735 --> 00:10:40,365- Excuse me, madam, can I help you?- My name is Margaret Hale. Who are you?

    9800:10:40,539 --> 00:10:43,030I'm Williams, Mr. Thornton's overseer.

    99

    00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:47,805He asked me to look out propertiesfor your father.

    10000:10:47,980 --> 00:10:50,039How much is the rent for the year?

    10100:10:50,216 --> 00:10:54,414Mr. Thornton will discuss it with your father.No need to concern yourself.

    10200:10:54,587 --> 00:10:59,251I've no idea who your Mr. Thornton is.I thank him for his trouble,

    10300:10:59,425 --> 00:11:03,418but my father and I are sharing the taskof securing a property.

    10400:11:03,596 --> 00:11:06,997I have spent two daysviewing what Milton has to offer,

    10500:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,259so I have a fairly good idea of price.

    10600:11:09,435 --> 00:11:12,233- Mr. Thornton thinks this will do very well.- Where is he?

    107

    00:11:12,405 --> 00:11:16,501- Excuse me?- Take me to see this Mr. Thornton.

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    9/47

    10800:11:17,376 --> 00:11:21,005If he won't deal with me,I'll have to deal with him.

    109

    00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:48,769- Does Mr. Thornton live here?- Aye, but he'll be at work.

    11000:11:51,977 --> 00:11:54,912Stay here, miss. I'll find Master.

    11100:13:58,137 --> 00:13:59,764Stephens!

    11200:14:00,706 --> 00:14:03,368Put that pipe out!

    11300:14:07,479 --> 00:14:09,674I saw you!

    11400:14:12,985 --> 00:14:15,112Stephens!

    115

    11600:14:18,624 --> 00:14:20,524Come here!

    11700:14:24,029 --> 00:14:25,826- Smoking again.- I wasn't!

    11800:14:25,998 --> 00:14:28,831- Where is it?- I wasn't smoking, I swear.

    11900:14:29,001 --> 00:14:31,265Still warm. I warned you.

    12000:14:31,437 --> 00:14:33,428No! No! Please, sir!

    12100:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,575- Please don't... Please!

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    10/47

    - You stupid... idiot!

    12200:14:38,777 --> 00:14:42,144- Please!- Look at me!

    12300:14:42,848 --> 00:14:45,715- Look at me!- Stop!

    12400:14:45,885 --> 00:14:49,719- Stop! Please, stop!- Who are you? What are you doing in here?

    12500:14:49,889 --> 00:14:52,016

    - My name is Margaret Hale.- Miss Hale!

    12600:14:52,191 --> 00:14:55,683- Sorry, sir, I told her to stay in the office.- Get her out!

    12700:14:55,861 --> 00:14:58,591Aye, crawl away on your belly!

    128

    00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:00,789Please, sir... I have little ones.

    12900:15:00,966 --> 00:15:03,161You know the rules!

    13000:15:03,335 --> 00:15:06,930- My children will starve!- Better they starve than burn to death!

    13100:15:07,106 --> 00:15:12,134Get out before I call the police!Get that woman out of here!

    13200:15:12,311 --> 00:15:14,779Please, miss.

    13300:15:16,849 --> 00:15:19,044Miss. Miss, please.

    13400:15:19,885 --> 00:15:23,548Miss, please, miss... Please!

    11/47

    13500:16:03,329 --> 00:16:07,823My darling Margaret, we are backat last from our honeymoon in Corfu.

    136

    00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,063We've been away so long I'm almost fluentin Greek - or so the Captain says.

    13700:16:13,238 --> 00:16:16,935But you know, everything he saysis always so agreeable.

    13800:16:17,109 --> 00:16:21,239Dear Margaret... Now I shall say

    something that will make you very angry,

    13900:16:21,413 --> 00:16:22,903but I can't help it.

    14000:16:23,082 --> 00:16:27,678What was Uncle thinking of,taking you all so far away from home?

    14100:16:27,853 --> 00:16:31,619

    Why on earth are you in that awful placewhere they make cotton,

    14200:16:31,790 --> 00:16:34,122where no one who is anyone wishes to buy it?

    14300:16:34,293 --> 00:16:36,591I am sure we'll always wear linen.

    14400:16:38,998 --> 00:16:41,523Dear Edith, I'm pleased to report

    14500:16:41,700 --> 00:16:46,535that we've replaced the horrible wallpaperswith altogether more agreeable colors.

    14600:16:46,705 --> 00:16:50,197Dixon has only - if you think this possible -grown in energy.

    14700:16:50,376 --> 00:16:54,039She has set herself the task

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    12/47

    of engaging an under-maid,

    14800:16:54,213 --> 00:16:57,205but as yet there isn't anyonewithin a radius of 50 miles

    14900:16:57,383 --> 00:17:00,375who is remotely suitableto wait on us hand and foot.

    15000:17:00,552 --> 00:17:03,385I'll sit, if you don't mind

    15100:17:03,555 --> 00:17:08,822Hm. You'll be expected to be well up

    before the family to light the fires.

    15200:17:08,994 --> 00:17:12,521I'm sorry, I'm not getting upat five in the morning.

    15300:17:12,698 --> 00:17:15,531And I'm not working for those wages.

    15400:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,226

    I can get four shillings as a piecer at Hamper's.

    15500:17:19,038 --> 00:17:22,166Anyway, if you don't mind me asking,

    15600:17:22,341 --> 00:17:24,901where's the money coming from to pay for me?

    15700:17:25,077 --> 00:17:30,538This house must be 30 a year, and there's notmuch coming in from what I've heard.

    15800:17:31,817 --> 00:17:33,978I'll come and go as I please!

    15900:17:34,153 --> 00:17:37,088And I don't need no bossy, jumped-up servant

    16000:17:37,256 --> 00:17:41,659

    to tell me what's what and how to behave!You can keep your rotten job!

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    13/47

    16100:17:51,503 --> 00:17:54,472Me, a servant, indeed

    16200:17:55,507 --> 00:18:00,604I don't know what the master was thinking of,

    subjecting us to all this gossip!

    16300:18:02,781 --> 00:18:04,942Margaret?

    16400:18:14,660 --> 00:18:17,322What's the matter?

    16500:18:20,732 --> 00:18:23,257

    There is some talk...

    16600:18:25,104 --> 00:18:26,901Margaret?

    16700:18:28,073 --> 00:18:30,507Margaret? What does she mean, talk?

    16800:18:30,709 --> 00:18:34,611I did hear some people talking,

    when we were house-hunting.

    16900:18:36,315 --> 00:18:42,151About why we moved to Milton... so abruptly.Why you left the church.

    17000:18:42,321 --> 00:18:44,789People are... talking?

    17100:18:44,957 --> 00:18:49,621Well, it's only natural, after all,that people should wonder.

    17200:18:49,795 --> 00:18:53,162It's not usual for clergymen to leave their parish,

    17300:18:53,332 --> 00:18:56,597travel hundreds of miles,as if to escape something.

    17400:18:58,470 --> 00:19:01,906Just because we follow you without question...

    17500:19:11,450 --> 00:19:14,044It's from the bishop.

    17600:19:14,219 --> 00:19:19,316

    - It's not about Frederick?- No. I keep that letter with me always.

    17700:19:19,491 --> 00:19:22,619To reassure me that I made the right decision.

    17800:19:29,001 --> 00:19:30,992I... is this all?

    179

    00:19:32,304 --> 00:19:37,401"I ask that all rectorsin the diocese of the New Forest

    18000:19:37,576 --> 00:19:41,239"reaffirm their beliefin the Book of Common Prayer."

    18100:19:41,413 --> 00:19:44,507Exactly. The effrontery!The man's ten years our junior.

    18200:19:45,484 --> 00:19:48,476He tries to treat us all like children.

    18300:19:48,654 --> 00:19:52,681But this is a formality, surely... to reaffirm.

    18400:19:52,858 --> 00:19:56,521My conscience will not let me.

    18500:19:56,695 --> 00:20:00,392I can and have lived quietly with my doubts for...

    18600:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,796well, for some years now, but...

    18700:20:03,969 --> 00:20:08,565I cannot swear publiclyto doctrines I am no longer sure of.

    Now, we men of consciencehave to make a stand.

    18900:20:12,844 --> 00:20:16,336- We?- Yes, there are others who have doubts.

    19000:20:16,515 --> 00:20:20,042We all agreed. We could not reaffirm.

    19100:20:21,186 --> 00:20:26,351Are you telling methat all the rectors of the New Forest

    19200:20:26,525 --> 00:20:29,824

    have decamped to industrial towns?

    19300:20:30,862 --> 00:20:32,762Well...

    19400:20:32,931 --> 00:20:36,025some thought it possible to yield,

    19500:20:36,201 --> 00:20:39,466but... I did not.

    19600:20:39,638 --> 00:20:45,736- How many? How many refused?- I could not avoid it. I was forced into it.

    19700:20:45,911 --> 00:20:48,505You must understand.

    19800:20:50,182 --> 00:20:52,446I understand.

    19900:20:56,855 --> 00:20:59,585I understood...

    20000:20:59,758 --> 00:21:03,091that the very worst must have happened...

    20100:21:04,896 --> 00:21:07,888that you had lost your faith...

    20300:21:16,141 --> 00:21:22,478That some very great mattermust have happened to make you uproot us all,

    20400:21:22,648 --> 00:21:25,481dragging us up to this God-forsaken place!

    20500:21:25,651 --> 00:21:29,178- Maria.- You gave up your livelihood...

    20600:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,783

    ...our source of income...

    20700:21:38,530 --> 00:21:42,796...on a formality.- It was not like that, Maria.

    20800:21:42,968 --> 00:21:45,869Really. It IS not like that.

    20900:21:47,506 --> 00:21:50,168

    I already have work - teaching.

    21000:21:51,643 --> 00:21:53,907And I... I will find more.

    21100:21:54,079 --> 00:21:58,379And... and maybe I will discover

    21200:21:59,518 --> 00:22:01,986that is my real vocation after all.

    21300:22:03,622 --> 00:22:06,682The people here don't want learning.

    21400:22:08,193 --> 00:22:10,855They don't want books

    21500:22:11,029 --> 00:22:13,088and culture.

    218

    00:22:27,045 --> 00:22:29,741You're right, Edith.

    21900:22:29,915 --> 00:22:32,042Milton is very far from home,

    22000:22:32,217 --> 00:22:35,675but it is quite an interestingand modern sort of place.

    22100:22:35,854 --> 00:22:39,847There are at least 20 mills, all very prosperous,in and around the town,

    22200:22:40,025 --> 00:22:44,086and it's full of new industryof one sort or the other.

    22300:22:44,262 --> 00:22:47,163It is of course not remotely green like Helstone,

    22400:22:47,332 --> 00:22:50,426and so large that I often lose my way.

    22500:22:50,602 --> 00:22:52,934But the people are friendly enough

    22600:22:53,105 --> 00:22:56,700and there is nearly always someoneto point me in the right direction.

    22700:23:23,535 --> 00:23:25,833'Ey up, what have we got here?

    00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:45,314Just stop.

    23800:24:13,452 --> 00:24:17,616Be careful where you walkwhen the whistle sounds for the break.

    23900:24:17,789 --> 00:24:20,690But don't worry, they won't harm you.

    24000:24:20,859 --> 00:24:24,625They just like a bonny face.And yours is a picture.

    246

    00:25:01,466 --> 00:25:06,904So this century was probably the mostproductive, simply in terms of the number...

    24800:25:12,043 --> 00:25:14,807though some of it is unpaid...

    24900:25:14,980 --> 00:25:17,642...and, I fear, unwanted.

    25000:25:18,683 --> 00:25:22,175- But he keeps happy.- Thank you.

    25100:25:26,558 --> 00:25:29,118Until, erm... next Sunday.

    25200:25:30,662 --> 00:25:33,028He entertains his private pupils at home.

    25900:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,622

    I suggest we start with Plato

    26000:26:04,796 --> 00:26:07,162and then move on. What do you think?

    26100:26:07,332 --> 00:26:10,324I'm afraid we metunder unpleasant circumstances.

    262

    00:26:10,502 --> 00:26:13,335I dismissed a workerfor smoking in the sorting room.

    26300:26:13,505 --> 00:26:15,666You beat a defenseless man.

    26400:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,240- Margaret.- No, she's right.

    26500:26:19,477 --> 00:26:23,914I have a temper. Fire is the greatest dangerin my mill. I have to be strict.

    26600:26:24,082 --> 00:26:28,917A gentleman would not use his fistson such a... pathetic creature

    26700:26:29,087 --> 00:26:31,419or shout at children.

    26800:26:31,590 --> 00:26:33,922I dare say a gentleman has not had to see

    28500:28:01,613 --> 00:28:05,674

    I'm going to meet my father.He works at Hamper's, a mile across town.

    28700:28:09,888 --> 00:28:11,753It's nearer home.

    28800:28:11,923 --> 00:28:15,484And the work's easier. Here's Father now.

    29000:28:22,767 --> 00:28:25,099He deserved it. Fool put everyone at risk.

    29100:28:27,605 --> 00:28:32,008- You're not from this part of the world, are you?- No. I'm from the South.

    29200:28:32,177 --> 00:28:35,442- From Hampshire.- Mm. Beyond London, I reckon.

    29300:28:35,613 --> 00:28:37,706Mm.

    29900:28:57,102 --> 00:29:00,799Well, I... I thought that I might comeand bring a basket.

    30000:29:00,972 --> 00:29:04,703Excuse me. At... at home,when my father was a clergyman...

    301

    30600:29:24,395 --> 00:29:28,161Here, we wait to be askedinto someone's parlor before we charge in.

    31200:29:57,428 --> 00:30:00,727It must be Mr. Thornton's mother.

    31400:30:04,702 --> 00:30:06,932And that must be the sister.

    31500:30:07,105 --> 00:30:09,232What a deal of starch!

    31600:30:09,407 --> 00:30:12,899It would take someone all dayto iron that petticoat.

    hardly bear a grand instrument.

    32400:31:12,570 --> 00:31:15,562We sold ours when we moved.

    325

    00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:19,039Yes, these rooms are far too smallfor entertaining.

    32600:31:19,210 --> 00:31:22,805Our staircases are widerthan the whole width of this room.

    32700:31:33,524 --> 00:31:36,687I wonder how you can exist without a piano.

    32800:31:36,861 --> 00:31:39,989It almost seems to me a necessity of life.

    32900:31:43,101 --> 00:31:47,094- There are concerts here, I believe.- Oh, yes. Rather crowded.

    33000:31:47,272 --> 00:31:51,208They let in anybody.

    But we have whatever is the fashion in London.

    33100:31:51,376 --> 00:31:53,367A little later, unfortunately.

    33200:31:54,712 --> 00:31:57,738- You know London, of course.- Oh, yes.

    33300:31:57,916 --> 00:32:01,443I lived there with my aunt and cousin for a while.

    34300:32:36,387 --> 00:32:39,288May I ask why you choseto come and live in Milton?

    34400:32:39,457 --> 00:32:42,517I mean... why did you leave wherever it was?

    34500:32:42,694 --> 00:32:44,685- Helstone.- Oh.

    34600:32:44,862 --> 00:32:47,854Well, it...

    34700:32:48,032 --> 00:32:50,592...it-it was my husband's decision.

    34800:32:51,803 --> 00:32:54,135It was a matter of... of conscience.

    34900:32:54,305 --> 00:32:57,968But Mr. Hale is no longer a clergyman, I thought.

    My husband very much enjoyshis lessons with Mr. Thornton.

    35100:33:03,481 --> 00:33:06,644I think it makes him feel young again.

    35200:33:06,818 --> 00:33:11,812Classics are all very well for men who loiter lifeaway in the country or in colleges.

    35300:33:11,990 --> 00:33:15,983But Milton men ought to haveall their energies absorbed by today's work.

    35400:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,458

    They should have one aim only.

    35500:33:19,464 --> 00:33:24,629Which is to maintain an honorable placeamongst the merchants of this country.

    35600:33:24,802 --> 00:33:26,827Go where you will,

    35700:33:27,005 --> 00:33:32,238

    the name of John Thornton in Milton,manufacturer and magistrate,

    35800:33:32,410 --> 00:33:36,039is known and respectedamongst all men of business.

    35900:33:36,881 --> 00:33:40,715And sought afterby all the young women in Milton.

    36000:33:40,885 --> 00:33:43,547Not all of them, surely.

    36100:33:44,555 --> 00:33:46,955If you had a son like mine, Mrs. Hale,

    36200:33:47,125 --> 00:33:51,118you would not be embarrassedto sing his praises.

    If you can bear to visit our dirty, smoky home,

    36400:34:02,140 --> 00:34:04,802we shall receive you next week.

    365

    00:34:52,023 --> 00:34:54,014Mrs. Thornton.

    36600:34:54,192 --> 00:34:56,592Well, what a splendid house! Erm...

    36700:34:56,761 --> 00:35:01,425But, er... do you not findthe proximity to the mill a little, erm...

    36800:35:01,599 --> 00:35:03,658...well, noisy?

    36900:35:04,836 --> 00:35:06,463Never.

    37000:35:06,637 --> 00:35:10,903I've not become so fine as to forgetthe source of my son's power and wealth.

    37100:35:12,977 --> 00:35:15,741The mill is everything.

    37200:35:15,913 --> 00:35:19,246There is no other factory like it in Milton.

    37300:35:20,985 --> 00:35:23,920This house is my son's achievement.

    37400:35:30,661 --> 00:35:34,620Did I tell you, Thornton,about the price of raw cotton in Le Havre?

    37500:35:34,799 --> 00:35:37,290- I believe you did.- Come on, Thornton.

    37600:35:37,468 --> 00:35:42,098Even you can spot a bargain. Cotton's

    a great deal cheaper from the Caribbean.

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    29/47

    00:35:42,273 --> 00:35:44,400I'll bet you Egyptian is still cheaper.

    37800:35:44,575 --> 00:35:47,203They can't offer those prices for long.

    37900:35:47,378 --> 00:35:51,280They'll be bankrupt in a yearand our supply'll be interrupted.

    38000:35:51,449 --> 00:35:55,715I'd rather pay more for a steady supplythrough Liverpool. We'll all lose in the end.

    38100:35:55,887 --> 00:35:59,721

    Thornton's as straight as they come.He won't risk Malborough Mill,

    38200:35:59,891 --> 00:36:02,223even if it means not speculating.

    38300:36:02,393 --> 00:36:06,625That's best, surely, with so many livesdepending on the factory's success?

    384

    00:36:06,797 --> 00:36:11,928Well... that would be the Christian way.

    38500:36:12,103 --> 00:36:15,095Hear the latestover clamoring for a new wheel?

    38600:36:15,273 --> 00:36:17,264- Thought you'd agreed to it.- I had.

    38700:36:17,441 --> 00:36:22,105First, the men threatened to turn outif I didn't install it. It would've cost me 600.

    38800:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,114It blows away the strandsthat fly off in the sorting rooms.

    38900:36:26,284 --> 00:36:30,983

    - Helps keeps fluff off the workers' lungs.- So, what was the problem?

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    30/47

    39000:36:31,155 --> 00:36:34,647Some workers claimed they'd need more moneyto work with a wheel.

    39100:36:34,825 --> 00:36:37,020

    - What?- Yes. Believe me.

    39200:36:37,195 --> 00:36:40,221They heard it'd make 'em hungrierthan they say they are!

    39300:36:40,398 --> 00:36:42,195- Make them hungry- Yes.

    39400:36:42,366 --> 00:36:47,235There wouldn't be so much fluff to swallow,so their bellies'd be emptier.

    39500:36:47,405 --> 00:36:52,240Oh, yes. So...Oh, and this is the beautiful part.

    39600:36:52,410 --> 00:36:54,503

    They said I'd have to pay 'em more.

    39700:36:54,679 --> 00:37:00,049Now the men can't agree to what they want,so I've been spared 600

    39800:37:00,218 --> 00:37:04,484and the men have themselves to thankfor the carding rooms being like Christmas.

    39900:37:06,390 --> 00:37:10,884Come on, Thornton. Surely you won't approveof workers telling you what to pay 'em?

    40000:37:11,062 --> 00:37:13,553I've had a wheel in all my sheds for two years.

    40100:37:13,731 --> 00:37:18,065- More fool you. I can't see profit in it.- There is no immediate profit.

    - Not in pounds, shillings and pence.- But? Well, there is a "but", in't there?

    40300:37:22,773 --> 00:37:24,604But...

    40400:37:24,775 --> 00:37:28,108my workers are healthier.Their lungs don't clog so easily.

    40500:37:28,279 --> 00:37:32,613They work for me longer. And their children.Even you'll see profit in that.

    40600:37:32,783 --> 00:37:35,445

    But surely, erm... it's the right path, also.

    40700:37:35,620 --> 00:37:39,954Sound business sense, Mr. Hale,and I cannot operate under any other moral law.

    40800:37:40,124 --> 00:37:42,615I do not run a charitable institution.

    40900:37:42,793 --> 00:37:46,559

    My workers expect me to be hard, but truthful.

    41000:37:47,898 --> 00:37:50,890I tell them how things areand they take it or leave it.

    41100:37:51,068 --> 00:37:55,437- Harkness tries tricks with his.- You've got to keep them on their toes.

    41200:37:55,606 --> 00:37:59,906It's a war, and we mastershave to win it or go under.

    41900:38:29,340 --> 00:38:31,672It's all the master's fault.

    42000:38:31,842 --> 00:38:35,972He took leave of his senseswhen he brought us here.

    42100:38:37,982 --> 00:38:41,076He is not the vicar of Helstone any more.

    42200:38:41,252 --> 00:38:46,485He has thrown away his position in society

    and brought us all down with him.

    43100:39:24,662 --> 00:39:27,256I will help you.

    436

    00:39:48,486 --> 00:39:52,980Excuse me. I'm looking for Bessy Higgins.I must have come in the wrong direction.

    43700:39:53,157 --> 00:39:56,024She's along the way, round the corner.

    43800:39:56,193 --> 00:40:01,256It's all right, she's not frightened of you.She's hungry. That's why she cries.

    34/47

    I didn't know that I would be welcome.

    44300:40:56,720 --> 00:41:01,214I thought groceries would be offensive.But if I had come without anything...

    44400:41:01,392 --> 00:41:04,884If there's a remote possibilityof us finding offence,

    44500:41:05,062 --> 00:41:08,725you can be sure we will.We're very good at that in Milton.

    44600:41:10,835 --> 00:41:13,804

    I feel I've lived in Miltonfor quite some time now,

    44700:41:13,971 --> 00:41:17,805but I still find myself constantly at faultwhichever way I turn.

    44800:41:17,975 --> 00:41:20,273How long will it take for that to change?

    449

    00:41:20,444 --> 00:41:23,106Oh, a couple of years at least, in your case.

    46000:42:27,511 --> 00:42:32,278But he'll be with us when the fire goes up,if he knows what's good for him.

    46400:42:50,434 --> 00:42:52,925I will be home to dress, but then out till late.

    47800:44:26,930 --> 00:44:30,923No. Indeed, I'm sure it's fascinating.

    48400:45:15,512 --> 00:45:17,275But not quite.

    48500:45:17,448 --> 00:45:21,509Well, on behalf of Milton taste,I'm glad we've almost passed muster.

    48600:45:21,685 --> 00:45:24,552

    Yes. Yes, well...

    48700:45:25,489 --> 00:45:27,980clearly, you're very proud of Milton.

    48800:45:28,158 --> 00:45:31,650My husband admires its energy and its...

    48900:45:34,298 --> 00:45:39,133...its people are... very busy

    making their businesses successful.

    49000:45:39,303 --> 00:45:43,262I won't deny it. I'd rather be toiling here,success or failure,

    49100:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,275than leading a dull, prosperous life in the South,with their slow, careless days of ease.

    49200:45:48,445 --> 00:45:52,939You are mistaken. You don't knowanything about the South. It...

    49300:45:53,117 --> 00:45:56,951It may be a little less energeticin its pursuit of competitive trade,

    49400:45:57,121 --> 00:46:01,285but there is less suffering than I have seen

    that you do not know the North.

    50400:46:35,292 --> 00:46:39,456I became the head of the family very quickly.I was taken out of school.

    50500:46:39,630 --> 00:46:42,497I think that I might say that my only good luck

    50600:46:42,666 --> 00:46:45,897was to have a motherof such strong will and integrity.

    50700:46:46,069 --> 00:46:48,162I went to work in a draper's shop

    50800:46:48,338 --> 00:46:52,240

    and my mother managed so thatI could put three shillings aside a week.

    50900:46:52,409 --> 00:46:55,435That taught me self-denial.

    51000:46:55,612 --> 00:46:59,343Now I'm able to keep my motherin such comfort as her age requires,

    51100:46:59,516 --> 00:47:02,110and I thank her every day for that early training.

    51200:47:03,253 --> 00:47:07,280So, Miss Hale, I do not think

    that I was especially blessed

    51300:47:07,491 --> 00:47:10,426with good fortune or luck.

    51400:47:18,035 --> 00:47:21,027- I have outstayed my welcome.- Oh, no, John.

    51500:47:21,205 --> 00:47:24,800

    Come, Miss Hale, let's part friendsdespite our differences.

    51600:47:24,975 --> 00:47:28,604If we become more familiarwith each other's traditions,

    51700:47:28,779 --> 00:47:31,077we may learn to be more tolerant, I think.

    51800:47:37,988 --> 00:47:42,516- I'll see myself out.- Please. Please come again, John.

    51900:47:51,835 --> 00:47:56,772Margaret. The handshake is used up herein all forms of society.

    52000:47:56,940 --> 00:48:01,673I think you gave Mr. Thornton real offence

    by refusing to take his hand.

    521

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    40/47

    00:48:01,845 --> 00:48:03,938I'm sorry, Father.

    52200:48:05,148 --> 00:48:11,485I'm sorry I'm so slow to learnthe rules of civility in Milton, but I'm tired.

    52300:48:11,655 --> 00:48:16,592I have spent the day washing curtainsso that Mr. Thornton should feel at home.

    52400:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,254So, please, excuse meif I misunderstood the handshake.

    525

    00:48:22,833 --> 00:48:28,032I am sure in London, a gentleman wouldnever expect a lady to take his hand like that,

    52600:48:28,205 --> 00:48:30,230all... unexpectedly.

    52700:48:30,407 --> 00:48:34,434And I didn't know where to lookwhen he talked about his past.

    52800:48:34,611 --> 00:48:38,069His father might have died in the workhouse.

    52900:48:38,248 --> 00:48:41,740I think it might have been worse than that.

    53000:48:45,889 --> 00:48:51,054According to my friend Mr. Bell,his father speculated wildly and lost.

    53100:48:51,228 --> 00:48:55,562He, erm... he was swindledby a business partner in London.

    53200:48:55,732 --> 00:48:58,223He, erm...

    53300:48:59,336 --> 00:49:02,066...he killed himself.

    53400:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,673

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    41/47

    Because he couldn't bear the disgrace.

    53500:49:05,842 --> 00:49:09,175Mother and son and daughterlived on nothing for years

    53600:49:09,346 --> 00:49:14,181so that the creditors could be repaid, long afterthey'd given up any hope of settlement.

    53700:49:16,286 --> 00:49:18,516Margaret?

    53800:49:19,556 --> 00:49:21,717I think it very fine, Father.

    53900:49:22,893 --> 00:49:25,555I am sorry to have offended your friend.

    54000:49:27,698 --> 00:49:30,496And I must go to bed.

    54100:50:10,774 --> 00:50:15,768- Put him down. He's one of ours, isn't he?- Boucher? He's Thornton's.

    54200:50:15,946 --> 00:50:19,473Aren't you interested, Thornton?All mills together, if you please.

    54300:50:19,649 --> 00:50:22,140We need to show we know what they're up to.

    54400:50:22,319 --> 00:50:26,312Let them meet, if that's how they wantto spend their leisure time.

    54500:50:26,490 --> 00:50:29,618- We're all trying to work together, Thornton.- Are we?

    54600:50:29,793 --> 00:50:34,890- What does that mean?- I overheard some of my men talking.

    54700:50:35,065 --> 00:50:37,898It seems you're planning to give in to them.

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    42/47

    54800:50:38,068 --> 00:50:40,195We agreed.

    54900:50:40,370 --> 00:50:42,531

    We'd all be in line.

    55000:50:42,706 --> 00:50:47,302So that the men would know we meantbusiness and know that we kept our word.

    55100:50:47,477 --> 00:50:49,968Well, I...

    552

    00:51:00,390 --> 00:51:01,857Father?

    55300:51:02,025 --> 00:51:04,186Well!

    55400:51:05,996 --> 00:51:09,796My, er... pupils askedif they could use the hall for...

    555

    00:51:09,966 --> 00:51:15,165a special meeting. Who am I to forceecclesiastical architecture on them?

    55600:51:15,906 --> 00:51:20,070Quiet!

    55700:51:20,243 --> 00:51:23,235Quiet, please!

    55800:51:23,947 --> 00:51:27,405Friends... welcome.

    55900:51:29,186 --> 00:51:33,145Now, this is the first timewe have ever gathered together.

    56000:51:36,026 --> 00:51:40,827Now, don't worry, you'll all get a chanceto speak, as long as we take our turn.

    56100:51:40,997 --> 00:51:44,831

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    43/47

    Now, I'm Nicholas Higgins.I work up at Hamper's Mill.

    56200:51:45,001 --> 00:51:48,266Now, there's quite a few of us.

    56300:51:48,438 --> 00:51:52,670There's some men from Thornton'sand Marlborough Mill. Where's Henderson's?

    56400:51:52,843 --> 00:51:55,403What about Slickson's?

    56500:51:56,580 --> 00:51:59,481Now... up at Hamper's...

    56600:51:59,649 --> 00:52:02,174we've got a lot of work.

    56700:52:02,352 --> 00:52:06,015Orders are flooding in,and cheap cotton to meet them.

    56800:52:06,189 --> 00:52:09,852Now, there's those of us that know

    that soon, bosses'll be telling us

    56900:52:10,026 --> 00:52:13,484although they're making a fat profit...

    57000:52:13,663 --> 00:52:17,997they can't make our paywhat it were five years ago!

    57100:52:18,168 --> 00:52:20,295Now, they'll have a load of excuses.

    57200:52:20,470 --> 00:52:23,439It's all because cotton'ssuddenly become expensive.

    57300:52:23,607 --> 00:52:27,270This or that bit of machinery's packed up.

    574

    00:52:27,444 --> 00:52:30,845The buyers can't payso there's no money to pay us!

  • 8/9/2019 North & South CD1

    44/47

    57500:52:31,014 --> 00:52:35,178- You've all heard it before!- Aye, the bosses make their own rules!

    576

    00:52:35,352 --> 00:52:39,516Henderson says one thing, Hamper another!Different from one week t' next!

    57700:52:39,689 --> 00:52:42,715- What's to stop 'em cutting pay again?- Aye!

    57800:52:43,059 --> 00:52:46,222And if we quit over wages,

    there's more'll take our places!

    57900:52:46,396 --> 00:52:47,761Aye!

    58000:52:47,931 --> 00:52:52,425That is why we must all work together,

    58100:52:52,602 --> 00:52:57,437because next time one of our bosses

    plays tricks, we'll all know about it.

    58200:52:57,607 --> 00:53:02,044And if we all decide on a fair wage,and none of us work for less,

    58300:53:02,212 --> 00:53:04,373then for once, WE'LL have a say!

    58400:53:04,548 --> 00:53:06,880What if they don't like it, eh?

    58500:53:07,050 --> 00:53:10,213What do we do then? What do we do then?

    58600:53:11,521 --> 00:53:13,512Boucher.

    58700:53:13,690 --> 00:53:15,624

    00:53:15,825 --> 00:53:18,953it's all right some of you talking brave.

    58900:53:19,129 --> 00:53:24,066Nicholas here earns - what? 15, 16 shillinga week? He's only three to keep on it.

    59000:53:24,234 --> 00:53:26,725My wife's sick,

    59100:53:26,903 --> 00:53:28,996I have six children,

    59200:53:29,172 --> 00:53:32,164none of them old enough for factory work.

    59300:53:32,342 --> 00:53:37,939If I turn out, we'll not be able to live onfive shillings strike pay from the union.

    59400:53:38,715 --> 00:53:41,206My children...

    59500:53:42,219 --> 00:53:44,483they'll starve.

    59600:53:47,591 --> 00:53:49,923Look, I'm not saying

    59700:53:50,093 --> 00:53:52,391that we're coming out today.

    59800:53:52,562 --> 00:53:55,895I'm not sayingthat we're coming out tomorrow.

    59900:53:56,066 --> 00:53:58,626What I'm saying is...

    60000:53:58,802 --> 00:54:01,134when the time comes...

    60100:54:01,304 --> 00:54:03,465we will be ready.

    604

    00:54:31,501 --> 00:54:34,402I know you and your mother feel I let you down.

    60500:54:34,571 --> 00:54:38,007- Father, no.- No. You do.

    60600:54:38,174 --> 00:54:39,801I know.

    60700:54:39,976 --> 00:54:45,710But I hope you'll realize that the peopleup here... they aren't so very different.

    60800:54:45,882 --> 00:54:49,215You know? They just have different ways.

    60900:54:59,195 --> 00:55:03,154- Master.- What are you doing here?

    61000:55:03,333 --> 00:55:05,665- I beg you to take me back...- Get out!

    61100:55:06,670 --> 00:55:11,539I were at the meeting this evening.I can tell you what they're planning.

    61200:55:12,709 --> 00:55:15,337- Please, sir...- Get out! Don't come near here again!

    61300:55:15,512 --> 00:55:18,106- Who's there?- It's only us.

    61700:55:38,335 --> 00:55:41,463Remember, they do things differently here.

    61800:55:43,006 --> 00:55:44,803Come, Father.

    61900:56:08,631 --> 00:56:12,590I wish I could tell you, Edith,how lonely I am...

    62000:56:13,837 --> 00:56:16,203how cold and harsh it is here.

    62100:56:17,006 --> 00:56:20,442Everywhere, there is conflict and...

    62200:56:20,610 --> 00:56:22,908unkindness.

    62300:56:36,659 --> 00:56:39,685I think God has forsaken this place.

    62400:56:44,667 --> 00:56:47,227I believe I have seen hell...

    62500:56:49,072 --> 00:56:51,267...and it's white.

    62600:56:51,441 --> 00:56:53,500It's snow-white.
