For gypsies to be

in these parts?

Have you not read the

sheriff's proclamation?

What?

I said, have you

not read

The sheriff's

proclamation?

I dinna ken

how to read.

I'll read it

to you.

"Warning. All gypsies and

other wandering vagrants

"Found trespassing

on these lands

Of glen quharity within

the parish of thrums

Will be arrested and

summarily dealt with. "

Woman!

...luck.

15, 2,

and 100 nought.

15-2, 15-4, 15-6,

15-8, and 10. Ah, 18.

15-2, 15-4, 15-6,

15-8, and 8. Ah, 16.

Cribbage is a game of

skill, my dear evalina.

Hmph.

I wonder where

barbara is.

Your fiancee has not yet

returned from her walk,

I believe.

Look here, evalina,

i suppose you'd try

To accept

my betrothal

With a little

better grace.

Captain halliwell and the

sheriff to see you, my lord.

Ah.

Lord rintoul.

How do you do?

This is

captain halliwell,

And sheriff greer.

My sister,

the lady evalina.

We must teach

these weavers

That they cannot

flout the law

Without suffering

the consequences.

Now, then.

Is everything

arranged for tonight?

Yes, your lordship.

We have the names of

the ringleaders,

And we'll move into

thrums after sunset

And take them

unawares,

As we did

once before.

Yes, but we must

be careful.

I do not think

they intend

To be taken again

quite so easily.

I have reason

to believe they've been

Making preparations

of some kind.

Preparations?

Ha. To resist my men?

I'm afraid so.

Ha ha ha.

That's good.

Rest easy, your lordship.

We shall take them

completely by surprise.

We will have the offenders

in the lockup

In no time at all.

Well, I hope so.

Uh, uh, mr. Dishart.

Oh, hello,

wearyworld.

I was just going out

for a breath of air.

Heard rob dow's

compliments,

And he says if you're not

with him within an hour,

He'll break out

into the drink again.

There's blood

in his eye.

Oh,I'll go at once.

Aye. Hey, you'll

let me go a bit wee?

Of course.

Come along.

For until rob

sent me on this errand,

Not a soul has

spoken to me this day.

Many a one

have I spoken to,

But not a man, woman, or

bairn had flung me a word.

I've often meant

to ask you, wearyworld,

Why are you

so unpopular?

Because i'm police. I'm the

first that's ever been in thrums.

Well, didn't the

thrumspeople appoint you?

Aye, and they are

the very folk that

Look down me as a

disgraced man for accepting.

Even my own wife

is short with me

When i've got on

me uniform.

Well, it should be

a consolation to you

That you're discharging

useful duties.

But i'm no.

Charles dickson says that

The very sight of

my uniform

Rouses his anger

so much

That it makes him

smash windows.

Although a peaceable
