We should pay her a visit
while she is here,
and you should come with us.
It would take you
out of yourself, Ann.
It'd do you good.
She's very entertaining.
I'd like that.
And very clever.
And very kind.
Actually,
when you get to know her,
she's a very good friend
to have.
How is Mr.
Briggs,
Dr.
Kenny?
Uh, a matter of days only,
ma'am, I would say.
We must do something
for his widow
when the time comes.
And how about
the little Hardcastle boy?
Oh, he'll live,
and Miss Walker.
Yes, I saw Miss Walker
the day before yesterday.
Not entirely recovered
from the accident, but
I didn't realize
she was hurt.
Oh, she wasn't, physically.
She was shaken, shocked,
but yes, no bones were broken,
although she has always had
a very delicate spine.
No, I was called in to
She suffers with her nerves.
She lives alone,
and then, socially,
she's surrounded
almost entirely
by people a lot older
than herself,
and she has so few diversions.
Between you and me,
if her money were to fly away
and she had to work
for a living,
the girl would be
perfectly well.
I hope you don't discuss
any members of my family
with your other patients,
Dr.
Kenny.
[faint knocking]
Marian must go over
to Crow Nest.
She said she would.
This Marian, our Marian?
Younger company,
to cheer Miss Walker up.
Surely she's more likely
to bore someone
into a paralytic stupor.
Well, how about you?
Why don't you go?
The accident happened
on your land.
I did once take tea
with the Mrs.
Walker years ago,
before the older one
got married
and went off to Scotland.
Really?
They were dull and stupid
It's too strong a word
And certainly no oil painting.
[knocking, door opens]
Ma'am? Sorry, ma'am.
Mr.
and Mrs.
Priestley
are downstairs
and with Mr.
Priestley's
cousin, Miss Walker,
of Crow Nest.
Well, well, well.
[jaunty music]
[music playing]
My only regret is that
it doesn't go far enough
as regards addressing
the anxieties
of the ordinary
working men and women
Mrs.
Priestley.
Miss Lister.
How delightful.
We had no idea you were back.
Well, it wasn't exactly
the plan,
but here we are.
Anne.
Not until Miss Walker
told us yesterday,
and then we hardly dared
believe it.
[music playing]
Miss Walker?
Mm.
I've heard so much
about you lately.
How are you?
I'm very well, thank you.
Good.
Good.
Has my sister
been entertaining you all
with her turgid
and uninformed opinions
about the Reform Bill?
Please forgive us
for taking the liberty
of calling on you
before you'd called on us.
Ah.
In the terms
of the new Reform Bill,
I find myself
for the first time
excluded from the franchise
by my sex.
What do you mean?
Have you voted before?
No, of course not.
However
You see, I wouldn't put it
past her if she had.
[laughter]
No, the point is,
women have never been
specifically denied
the vote before.
Now it's written,
or it will be, in statute.
Universal male suffrage.
I have 30-odd tenants
who may vote,
but I, the landowner, may not.
Isn't that curious?
But surely,
that's always been that way.
Mm.
A male 10-pound
householder down in Halifax
may also now vote
Such is progress
But I have been told
very specifically
and very definitely
that I may not.
You may not, Miss Walker,
and how many rolling acres
and tenants do you have?
Exactly.
So many
you don't even remember,
yet no vote.
Don't talk to me
about progress.
It's change that's unnecessary
and entirely
in the wrong direction.
But the point is,
the bill enfranchises
the hardworking men,
not just the landed interests.
Yes.
Why, though?
Because society is changing
before our eyes.
Economic power is moving
away from the land
and into the towns,
and those who govern us
must adapt to that change,
as they are doing,
thank goodness,
or risk revolution.
Really?
Who have you been
talking to, Marian?
Who have you got
all this nonsense from?
No one.
I haven't "got it" from anyone.
And it isn't nonsense.
It's my own opinion.
Oh.
[laughs]
No, no, no, don't get up.
How is everyone?
Miss Walker.
Sit here, Aunt.
How nice to see you again.
I just, uh
I wanted to take
the opportunity
of visiting again
with my cousin
to say thank you again
for your kind hospitality
to me and my aunt the other day
in our moment of distress.
Oh.
How are you feeling, my dear?
Mm.
Would you like some Madeira,
Dr.
Kenny?
Oh, thank you.
No, actually, Dr.
Kenny,
now you've seen
to my aunt's leg,
I'd like you to look
at my cart horse.
He's glandered.
Hemingway, could you show
Dr.
Kenny to the stables?
Tick-tock.
Odd little man, Dr.
Kenny.
Don't you think, Miss Walker?
Mincing walk,
makes me suspicious.
Of what?
Not sure.
You need to be careful, Ann.
Miss Lister keeps a journal.
Oh, she's famous
for her journal.
She records everything,
absolutely everything,
in great detail.
Yes, you must be certain
to stay on the right side
of her.
Otherwise, you might
end up in it.
You don't have to offend me
to grace the pages
of my journal.
Sometimes, I write
about people I really like.
