-to see that Launceston seems for all the world like a
frontier town from the Wild West.
DRAGOONS; PROSTITUTES; grimy TIN AND COPPER MINERS, chewing *
sticks; toothless old MEN; weather beaten FISHERMAN; and
young, rugged CHARMERS; all poor, most rough, spilling out of
the inn, drinking beer from mugs or tankards.
Fiddle music plays from somewhere. The small surrounding
houses are built of cold, grey Cornish granite.
It’s a long way from the twee morality of her home and MARY
is afraid, their eyes upon her as she steps around a MAN
who’s unconscious on the ground, and looks to see that the
other PASSENGERS have gone inside the bar.
As MARY hesitates to follow, unaccustomed to bars, a
uniformed Customs Riding Officer, LEGASSIK pulls up
-a filthy MAN in the back of his horse-drawn cart bleeding
from a wound to the leg, his hands and feet bound.
The COACH DRIVER peers inside the open-backed wagon with
interest as LEGASSIK climbs down -
CORNISH DRIVER:
Smuggler, is e?
LEGASSIK:
(yes)
Ten pounds King’s ransom’s what he
is. Ten pound of ale…
LEGASSIK goes inside. The SMUGGLER sees MARY peer at him, and
spits - making her recoil.
MARY decides the inn can’t be worse than it is out here, so
she heads inside.
INT. BAR, ‘THE FLEECE’ INN - EVENING 12
MARY enters the bar, head down to avoid attention from the
mostly MALE DRINKERS.
She moves into the shadows behind the other PASSENGERS from
her coach.
But she darts a glance at the DRINKERS and her eyes alight on-
-a roughly handsome man, JEM MERLYN, 30.
Unlike everyone else, he seems alone, content with his own
company, a bright impertinence and easy charm about him, but
in the gloom a CHEAP LOOKING WOMAN, a prostitute, moves close
to him and runs a finger down his chest and whispers
something suggestive in his ear.
