Ungrateful wretch.

That's all the thanks I get for

filling his pub every evening.

Well, here you are.

You don't think I look like

that, Master Branwell, do you?

Yes, I'm afraid I do.

However since you're dissatisfied,

I'll let you off my usual fee.

Boss, where's that brandy I ordered?

Here is brandy, but where is money?

Charge it to my account.

But you've got no account here.

I should hope not.

My account is with posterity.

No, Master Branwell, this very

morning, your good Aunt ..

I thank you sir, not to bandy a

lady's name about the temple.

Now my good sir,

it's your turn to be immortalized.

I can't make a good job of

it unless you sit still you know.

There!

My best work this evening and it is only

going to cost you one glass of brandy.

You lucky man.

You cannot make a

face with three strokes.

I can.

Now, pay up my dear fellow.

As sure as that mug standing there.

I said nowt about no glass of brandy.

What mug?

Alright, coachman.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, that will cost you a

pretty penny, Master Branwell.

You alright? Nobody hurt, I trust?

The horse is shied, that's all. Some

fool threw a mug through the window.

It is I sir, to whom you

happen to be referring.

Thank you. I didn't ask which fool.

I should like a room for the night.

Aye, sir. Upstairs, sir.

Thank you.

Well, perish my eyes.

It is the new Curate.

That's right.

Do you hear that, my lads?

Your new Curate.

Welcome to Haworth.

My name is Arthur Nicholls.

You have the honour, sir of addressing

your Vicar's son. Branwell Bront.

Oh.

And now, what shall it be?

For me? A bed.

And you shall have it my dear fellow.

Come along to the Vicarage.

No thank you.

I think I had better present myself to

your father in the morning. Oh.

As you please.

Perhaps I may go as far

as the door with you?

You know .. my father detests Curates.

My sisters are man-haters.

And I drink.

So you shall be very

happy here, Mr Nicholls.

Can't you sleep, Charlotte?

I've had such terrible dreams, Emily.

Because I wouldn't say

goodnight to you, I expect.

Oh, Charlotte.

Forgive me.

Oh, Emily.

You and I must never drift apart.

That is so important.

Yes, Charlotte.

People will always quarrel over Branwell.

And Branwell will always like it.

It would be so dreadful if we

were happy and he wasn't.

That's why I want him to go, Emily.

I realize in London, he'd be with

all the temptations but I thought ..

Well, let him .. how else

can he become a man?

I believe you've shared

my thought, Emily.

Oh I do, Charlotte, but don't you see?

London is not the dream

city of his imagination.

His disillusion would be

unbearable to witness.

If you to spare him disillusion, it is
