00:30Annabella, you may play here, but you are not to go beyond that door.
01:30You are not to go beyond that door.
02:00You are not to go beyond that door.
02:31Good morning.
02:38May I help you pick some strawberries?
02:41Yes, of course.
02:45Good morning.
02:47Good morning.
02:49Good morning.
02:51Good morning.
02:53Good morning.
02:55Good morning.
02:57Good morning.
02:58May I help you pick some strawberries?
03:04Who are you?
03:05I live here. My name is Annabella LaGrange.
03:09Miss, you wouldn't pick some?
03:11As many as you want.
03:13You must be very hungry.
03:15You even eat the stalks?
03:18We're hungry all the time, miss.
03:20Our fathers and brothers are on strike.
03:23So we've been turned out.
03:25What is on strike?
03:28The men ask for a penny a day or more to work down the mines.
03:32The boss here's not, so he stops work.
03:36And he gets another to work for the same money.
03:40So, we...
03:44If you go up to the house and ask Cook, I'm sure she'll give you something to eat.
03:49Aye, if you've got a penny.
03:51At the back door, the bits have got to be paid for.
03:54And we've got no money.
03:55No.
03:58I have my dinner at three o'clock.
04:00But then make me rest after.
04:02Come back after four.
04:04I'll help.
04:06I promise.
04:23Watford?
04:25Miss?
04:28Wherever have you been?
04:30I've looked everywhere for you.
04:32Come along.
04:43Watford?
04:44Yes, miss?
04:45Might I have a little bite?
04:47It seems such a long time before dinner.
04:49Cook and I will make up a tray for you, miss.
04:53I'm glad to see you're with an appetite for a change.
04:56Blunt, leave off.
04:58I nearly had a fit, though, when I couldn't find her.
05:00I thought, oh, Lord, she's gone through that door.
05:03Let's see.
05:04Ham and tongue.
05:06And a couple of meringues for a sweet tooth.
05:09There, miss.
05:10Thank you, Watford.
05:13I'll keep you going until dinner time.
05:15I'll keep you going until dinner time.
05:45I'll keep you going until dinner time.
06:03Good afternoon, Constantine.
06:09Not another bath for my father?

09:16The servants told me you had too much to eat today and were sick.
09:20You do understand, don't you, Annabel?
09:24Yes, Papa.
09:28Now, we don't want to upset your mama, do we?
09:34So we'll say nothing to her about it.
09:38No, Papa.
09:45No.
09:55If one word of this gets to your mistress, you'll find yourself out of here and you won't get into service within six counties.
10:01I'll see to that. Understand?
10:04Understand?
10:16Miss.
10:29Miss.
10:31Don't get back into bed.
10:34Please don't cry, Watford.
10:36Oh, Miss Annabella.
10:39You should never have gone into that.
10:42I went to bed and had a very bad dream.
10:47Watford, the part is a very wicked man.
10:51No, Miss.
10:53Never say that.
10:55But he struck you.
10:57No, Miss, he never. Not the master.
10:59He's a gentleman.
11:01And gentlemen would never do anything bad, Miss.
11:04They wouldn't.
11:12Miss.
11:25Madam, the master says he will join you at supper.
11:28Thank you, Mrs. Page.
11:30Has Annabella behaved herself?
11:32Oh, yes. Yes, Madam, of course.
11:34She's about to take her bath.
11:37No!
11:39No, I don't...
11:41Annabella.
11:43No!
11:45What is it?
11:47I don't know what's come over her, Madam.
11:50She won't have the blindfold on. She's never refused it before.
11:53Blindfold?
11:57What are you talking about?
11:59Miss Annabella is always blindfolded, Madam.
12:02Before I take the last of her clothes off to put her into the bath.
12:05Who gave this order?
12:12Give that to me.
12:14Give it to me.
12:16Never.
12:18Never do such a thing again.
12:23How could you do such a thing?
12:25I did it to keep her mind clean.
12:28She'll come to know the sins of the flesh soon enough.
12:31Hiding her own body from her will only arouse the child's curiosity.
12:34But the eye doesn't see.
12:36Alice.
12:38I think you've been very foolish.
12:39Very well.
12:41I'm foolish.
12:43But all I want is for her to grow up golden, pious like you.
13:02Just clear the things and go.
13:04Just clear the things and go.
13:16Well?
13:18Uncle James will not lend me the money.
13:21He reminded me that we are already £10,000 in his debt.
13:24He picks up the bloody interest, doesn't he?
13:26You did tell him that we could lose the glassworks?
13:28Yes.
13:29He pointed out that the monies you had borrowed from him previously
13:32did not save the candle factory, nor the pipe factory, nor the pottery.
13:35Oh, for God's sake, they were all on their last legs anyway.
13:38It wasn't my fault, it was your bloody father's mismanagement.
13:40Father was devoted to glass.
13:42Perhaps he neglected other things.
13:44Damn blast, your father.
13:46As much bloody foresight as a pig's arse.
13:50Please let me pass.
13:54I need £8,000 immediately.
13:56If your uncle said no, there's only one other place we can get it.
13:59So tomorrow morning...
14:01It's Annabella's birthday.
14:03Tomorrow morning you'll go to your mother's.
14:05And you'd better come back with the money.
14:07Otherwise, Rosina, it'll be the finish of us all.
14:27Happy birthday, my darling.
14:29I...
14:32I mustn't stay.
14:34The servants will be about at any moment.
14:36And if they find me up at this hour,
14:38they'll drop dead with shock.
14:41Yes, my darling, you laugh long and loud.
14:45Don't let them make you sad with those stiff faces.
14:48I'm going to bed.
14:50Good night.
14:52Good night.
14:56More Bible black.
15:01You do love me, don't you?
15:03Of course.
15:19We've hearts of our own, they said.
15:21Nobody can deny that.
15:23Hearts, repeated the Portuguese.
15:24Yes, that we have.
15:26Almost as much as in Portugal.
15:33Oh, you're ready, dear.
15:35Good.
15:37You shall walk with me as far as Guamaz.
15:39Mama, may I have some pennies?
15:41Pennies?
15:43What for, dear?
15:45Is there something you wish to buy?
15:47No, it's for the poor children,
15:49so they can buy some food from Cook.
15:52Cook, is it true that you sell food
15:54to poor people from the fells?
15:56I'm sure I don't know what...
15:58Do you or don't you?
16:00Now and then, madam.
16:02What do you sell?
16:04Just the scraps that would go into the pig bucket, madam.
16:06And for the scraps that would go into the pig bucket,
16:09you charge homeless people a penny a time.
16:12If we didn't charge them, madam,
16:14they'd be here in droves.
16:16Go to your room and pack your bags.
16:18You're to be out of this house by noon.
16:25Did the housekeeper know about this?
16:30Did Mrs. Page know?
16:37Tell her she is to go, too.
16:39That will be all.
16:55Annabella.
17:19Watford.
17:21I have given Annabella three sixpences.
17:23She is to give them to the children she met yesterday.
17:26See that she doesn't touch the children.
17:28They may be verminous.
17:30Let her put the sixpences on the ground.
17:32And you're to give them a message from me.
17:36It's always as far as Grandma's.
17:39I've never ever been inside.
17:41But I think I know the reason.
17:43How do you know?
17:45Children are so noisy.
17:47There must be a rule.
17:49They can't see their grandmas until they are 17 or 18.
17:51Oh, come along, miss.
17:53Hurry up and get this over with.
17:55Give me the money.
17:56But I'm to give it to...
17:57Give me the money, miss.
18:03The mistress of the house says twice a week
18:05on Tuesdays and Saturdays
18:07you're to go to the West Lodge.
18:09You'll be given food you won't have to pay.
18:11But only you and three others.
18:13We can't afford to feed every family.
18:20Come along, miss Annabella.
18:33I'm not surprised James refused to lend you money.
18:36He knows what a despicable creature your husband is.
18:39We've been through this so often, Mother.
18:41I will never understand why you stayed with him for so long.
18:45I hear the child...
18:51You stay here, miss.
18:54He won't like it.
18:56What, blunt?
18:57Coming with me.
18:59There she is.
19:01Not even a reference.
19:03You'd better watch out for your angelic young miss.
19:05Everyone's watching this step with the mistress now.
19:09All because of what she said.
19:11Like the little bastard that she is.
19:15Edmund and I did have one thing in common.
19:18Once upon a time
19:19we loved glass.
19:21The only thing he loved about glass
19:23was the money it would bring him to pay his debts.
19:25He was thousands of pounds in debt.
19:27That was the reason he married you.
19:30He wore your father out with his constant demands for money.
19:33I won't give you another penny.
19:35Mother,
19:37by the end of the month the creditors will throw us all out
19:39and sell Redford to pay our debts.
19:42You must know
19:44you are the only one who can prevent that.
19:46Very well.
19:48But this is the last time
19:50and only on certain conditions.
19:52What do you mean, conditions?
19:54The money is not a loan
19:56but comes in the form of shares in the company.
19:58And naturally the shareholders are you,
20:00your mother and your uncle.
20:02Who has the controlling interest?
20:04Mother and Uncle James.
20:06I might have guessed.
20:08Well I'm done for then.
20:10Dear God,
20:12why did I ever marry you?
20:13Why did I ever marry you?
20:24Annabella,
20:26you have not even opened the Bible I gave you.
20:28Do bring it.
20:30I will read it aloud together.
20:44I heard a word today that I didn't know.
20:48And now for your latest insanity,
20:50dismissing Cook for selling a few pig scraps to the rabble.
20:53Do you realize what you've done?
20:55You have cost me two thousand pounds.
20:58Cook's husband is the best fighter in the county.
21:00I've won thousands betting on that man.
21:02I had a fight arranged for next week
21:04and I've lost him for a few scraps of food.
21:06Madam, Madam.
21:09Get the cook back.
21:10Reinstate her.
21:12And show the whole staff
21:14that I have no authority in my own house.
21:16I refuse to do that.
21:18What did you want, Alice?
21:20Madam, the child.
21:22I think you should come up.
21:24My dear, what was the word you were asking about?
21:27Bastard.
21:29Who said that word?
21:31Be quiet, Annabella.
21:33Did someone call you by that name?
21:35Who?
21:37I asked you who?
21:39I asked you who?
21:44You called my daughter a bastard.
21:46Edmund.
21:48Pytliff, take the child out.
21:54You know the rules.
21:56You're all sworn to secrecy
21:58and you betrayed your trust.
22:00Pay her off and hire a governess.
22:02The child needs to know more than the world
22:04according to you and Pytliff.
22:09Oh, God.
22:11Is it true?
22:16Pack your bags.
22:24Well, she is a little bastard anyway.
22:33Good night.
22:39Annabella, Stephen, come on, hurry up.
22:42I am sorry, sir.
22:44We were exploring.
22:46Kept us all waiting.
22:48Oh, Boston, you don't know my wife's nephew, do you?
22:51Stephen Conway Redford, sir.
22:53Of Durham.
22:55Where do you go to school?
22:57Eton, sir.
22:59Oh, I say.
23:01Eton.
23:03And after Eton?
23:05I hope to go to Oxford, sir.
23:06Buffett!
23:36Let's go.
23:55This landscape is new to you, Mr. Boston.
23:58The whole region's new to me, ma'am.
24:00And I'm obliged to your husband
24:02for introducing me to so many of his best people.
24:04I'm sure that in return,
24:06you help my husband in any way you can.
24:09Moffat, at the next junction,
24:12I want you to turn right.
24:14Yes, sir.
24:35Here.
24:39Come in, please.
24:44Come in.
25:04Come in.
25:30Edmund.
25:32My daughter, Annabella.
25:34You're to bring her up in this house.
25:36The mother wasn't suitable.
25:39And as you wouldn't give me a child,
25:41barren as you are,
25:43you can be mother to that one.
25:56How sweet.
25:58A virgin with her daughter.
25:59Your dear, delicate father
26:01and cold-hearted mother
26:03together fashioned a piece of glass.
26:06Well, now you're a mother
26:08with your own little glass virgin.
26:30Come in, Edmund.
26:40Hey, we'll show you to the child.
26:42We will.
26:47Come on, sir.
26:59Come on.
27:18Now, Annabella,
27:20from what is glass made?
27:22Glass is composed of silicate,
27:24soda, potash
27:26and lime or chalk.
27:27What kinds of glass are there?
27:29Crown glass,
27:30bottle glass,
27:31sheet glass,
27:32plate glass
27:33and flint glass, papa.
27:34And what ways is it made?
27:36Two ways,
27:37blown or thrown.
27:40Now, tell everyone what this man is doing.
27:42He's adding arsenic and borax
27:44to the other ingredients.
27:45To make?
27:46Flint glass.
27:47Oh, aren't we clever?
27:48How many questions on that subject
27:49could you answer?
27:50Not one, sir.
27:51Well, keep your comments to yourself, then.
27:53I think we'd better get going.
28:06Mama,
28:07look at the beautiful cat.
28:22Get away!
28:44Annabella!
28:45Annabella!
28:54It's a very brave thing to do.
28:55It was no trouble.
28:57Are you Irish?
28:58I was brought up in Ireland,
28:59but I'm a Spaniard.
29:01What's your name?
29:02Manuel Mendoza.
29:04Have you been here long?
29:05In a glass house?
29:06A few weeks.
29:08I shan't be staying long.
29:10I'm not cut out to be a glass man.
29:12I'm not cut out to be a glass man.
29:14I'm not cut out to be a glass man.
29:16I'm not cut out to be a glass man.
29:18I'm not cut out to be a glass man.
29:20I'm not cut out to be a glass man.
29:22Well, look,
29:24here's something for your trouble.
29:27Oh, thanks all the same.
29:30I don't need paying for that.
29:36Extraordinary man.
29:37I wonder if he's any good with his fists.
29:39I'm looking for someone to help me win a wager or two.
29:41The Spaniard is my man.
29:42Ah,
29:43well, it sounded as though he was looking for pastures new.
29:52Ah,
29:53well,
29:54it sounded as though he was looking for pastures new.
30:23In here, Stephen.
30:26I can't get to sleep.
30:31Are you enjoying the holidays?
30:33Not much.
30:35Uncle James and Aunt Emma never invite anyone my own age.
30:38But I have to come.
30:40They've been so good to me since my parents died.
30:43Do you know what I wish?
30:45That I was 17.
30:47Because Papa has promised we'd be together forever.
30:49That I was 17.
30:51Because Papa has promised when I'm 17,
30:53I can go to London and go to a ball.
30:55And perhaps I'll dance with you.
30:58Except you'll be dancing with all the really pretty girls.
31:02Do you suppose I'll grow up pretty enough?
31:03Oh, Annabella, of course you will.
31:05Oh, Stephen, I do love you.
31:12Uncle James!
31:13Don't touch him!
31:14I'll kill you!
31:15I can't move!
31:17I'll kill you!
31:18Kill him!
31:19Hear me, I'll kill you.
31:30Annabella is with Miss Pikely.
31:32Thankfully, Stephen is recovering.
31:34You're always ready to find fault with me, aren't you?
31:36But your wretched family can do no wrong.
31:39Even when your nephew was caught trying to seduce an innocent child.
31:43They explained, and I believed them.
31:46And you dare talk of innocence.
31:48That monstrous charade today,
31:49to take the child along a street of brothels.
31:52That painted woman.
31:54It is a sin for a mother to see her daughter once in a while.
31:59As Annabella's father,
32:01when it's time for her to marry,
32:03I shall choose the husband.
32:05And you can forget about any romantic notions you have for her and Stephen.
32:08He will never set foot in this house again.
32:10Understand?
32:18Go on.
32:42Go on.
32:43Go on.
32:49Go on.
32:59So, who started the fight?
33:01I just asked on the way to Mr. George Boston's place,
33:03and they set upon me.
33:06Why are you going to Mr. Boston's?
33:09One of the glassmen told me he breeds horses.
33:11I'd love to work with horses again.
33:13Dearly, I would.
33:14Well, you're miles from Boston's place.
33:17I was looking for a new groom,
33:18and someone to teach my daughter how to ride.
33:21I could learn her.
33:23Good.
33:24You can come along with me, then.
33:26I'll tell the works manager in the morning.
33:30Do you know anything about boxing?
33:31Boxing?
33:32You look strong enough.
33:34Aye, but I've no desire to beat a man's face in.
33:39Sir.
33:42Sir.
33:46Splendid.
34:16Come on.
34:44And who's he?
34:45Oh, that's Ryan.
34:47Careful.
34:48He can be wild, him like.
34:49Not at all.
34:51Just needs talking to.
35:11Hey, Mr. Armour.
35:12Look at that.
35:13Oh, aye.
35:14I heard all about his exploits yesterday.
35:17Yet to prove himself in the job, though, hasn't he?
35:45Mendoza!
35:50I see you're putting her on Chester.
35:52Good choice.
35:53He's docile enough.
35:54This is my daughter, Annabella.
35:58I want her to ride, and ride well.
36:02Let's see her mount out, then.
36:04It's better after you've gone.
36:06Sorry.
36:07It's all right.
36:08It's all right.
36:09It's all right.
36:11It's all right.
36:12It's all right.
36:13Let's go, son.
36:14Sir.
36:18Oh, there's a boxing bout at Marsden, Saturday night.
36:20Six o'clock.
36:21You can come with me.
36:22Very good, sir.
36:43Beautiful grounds and gardens you have here, miss.
36:48Which I've never seen the like.
36:59You're a pretty fella.
37:03Pretty? Of course.
37:07Don't you be laughing at him miss. Horses are like humans.
37:11They want you to like them.
37:15You should think of the feeling you don't like them, or they won't like you.
37:19It's only natural.
37:22Never thought of that.
37:29Where are you always going?
37:31Never, miss.
37:33After my parents died I was brought up by a kind family who reared horses for the gentry.
37:38My cousin Stephen is an orphan too.
37:41Oh, I shouldn't mention personal matters to you.
37:45To a servant, miss?
37:47No matter. I'm not the gossiping kind.
37:58Another thing horses love.
38:01They love to have children sitting on them.
38:04But your child has a nice comfortable weight.
38:07You want to try?
38:11There now.
38:14Shh. Don't be afraid of him.
38:18Now, put your hands on his mane and hold tight.
38:31Manuel. Manuel.
38:34Chester likes me. He likes me, doesn't he?
38:38Of course he likes you.
39:05Get out of my way. Get out of my way.
39:09Get out.
39:12Get out.
39:16Come on!
39:34What time they stopped it that boys had enough stop it sometimes I get a 40 or 50 run I think
39:46twice before that anyone beat my face to a pulp for money it's squeamish
40:05Mendoza you to do your share of mucking out along with the others don't think
40:11you're special just because you're the master's choice I'm sorry mr. armor I
