- Where is his lordship?
- Took offense and left.
Took offense? At her?
Well, aren't you good?
What do you think of her, ay?
Ain't she a clinker?
- She is unusual, is she not?
- She's a clinker, that's what.
Terrible strong-willed, of course.
Get her into mischief, I keep telling her.
Would bring me here. I said no,
I said, not with my past, I said.
- Your past?
- But what with her taking me up
and now I've joined the Corpse,
it's all blotted out.
- The "Corpse"?
- The Militant Righteous Corpse.
Ran into them in limehouse I did,
singing and praying
and collecting, full blast
And I've been a different woman since.
- Are you saved?
- Yes I am.
So am I. Ain't it lovely?
- What was your past?
- Light fingers.
Light fingers?
- Do you mean stealing?
- Everywhere I went. Terrible.
Pennies, stockings, brooches,
spoons, tiddly, anything.
Every time there was a do,
everything went;
and I always knew it was me!
I'm just telling them about my trouble.
Don't tell them any more.
I like the former tenant's taste.
Plenty of bookshelves.
- The volumes are all dusted.
- And Sarah Pugh has fixed the upstairs.
You've arranged everything
quite splendidly. I do thank you.
And now the garden.
Shall we have a look at it?
- If you like.
- I'll join you in a moment.
- I'm hungry.
- You got an appetite like a horse.
- I haven't.
- It's a fine big kitchen, Watty.
- Everything in order?
- Haven't seen no mice yet.
Good. When the luggage comes up from
the station, have them take it upstairs.
Yes, mam.
- We'll have tea, Watty, whenever
you're ready. - All right, m'am.
I knew I wasn't wrong in coming here.
Somehow this place has something
These will be friendly for your room.
That was nicely phrased, Mr. Jones.
I'd heard that you Welshmen
had no sentiment.
Like all other people,
the Welsh too can see beauty.
Of course they can. I promise
I shan't make the same mistake again.
Tell me, Mr. Jones.
- Does this barn belong to the property?
- No, Miss Moffat.
- Is it in use now?
- No, m'am.
Splendid.
- What's that singing?
- Boys coming home from the mine.
Boys you say?
You can see them in a minute
coming over the bridge.
I should like to.
I should like very much
to look at children
who can sing after a day's work
in the coal mine.
They burst into song on the slightest
provocation. You mustn't take any notice.
Tell me, Mr. Jones.
Within a radius of 5 miles, how many
families are there around here?
About 40 families in the village
and 15 in the farms around.
- Many children?
- What age?
Up to 16 and 17.
Around here they are only children
until they are 12.
