Blood on the snow.
He's still there, all in a glass coffin.
Bells, bells...
the Bellmann.
There's a shadow in the north.
The actress and a vicar.
Pity he's not a bishop, the best
man's speech could've been a riot.
It'll be you and Sally next.
Ah. Perhaps you should
tell her that, Jim.
It's not me that's in love with her.
She's said so often enough.
She don't know her own mind,
mate, that's her problem.
Oh, I think her mind is
one thing she knows pretty well.
Ah. How are you, Sally?
Rosemary and I hardly see you any more.
You know how a new business is.
You hardly have a moment
Stocks and shares, investment and
dividends, I don't know how you do it.
Playing the stock
market is the easy part.
The problem is persuading people a young
woman can handle their money safely.
That reminds me. I have a
small inheritance due on my marriage.
Rosa and I would very much
like you to invest the capital for us.
And I shall make it my business
to tell each of my parishioners
that Sally Lockhart
made me a wealthy man.
How privileged we are, Nicholas.
Two of the country's finest
photographers
compiling our wedding album.
Naturally for my favourite niece
the job will be free gratis.
Of course, I taught Frederick
everything he knows
but now he wants to be
a detective with Jim.
I'm very good, I know.
There's the great Webster Garland
that has half of fashionable London
beating a path to our door.
Catch.
Aren't you supposed to let
one of the bridesmaids catch that?
Seeing as you're the only one in sight,
I didn't think there was much point.
I never said I was against marriage.
I merely said I was against it for me.
Chaka!
What have you been doing, boy?
Digesting the postman. I swear
that dog means more to you than me.
Are you surprised?
He's far better-looking,
and more obedient.
Come on, boy. Time to go.
- Where are you going?
- I have to see a client.
On my sister's wedding day?
I've already apologised to Rosa.
It simply couldn't be put off.
You might as well take this with you.
Until recently, Miss Lockhart,
I had every hope of living out
my retirement in modest comfort.
Now I find myself
on the brink of poverty.
I am sorry to hear that, Miss Walsh.
Last year, on your recommendation,
I invested over 3,000
in the shipping company Anglo-Baltic.
Anglo-Baltic?
It collapsed after the Ingrid Lind.
Exactly.
The Ingrid Lind disappeared
three days into her maiden voyage
and Anglo-Baltic was owned
by a businessman named Axel Bellmann.
After the loss of the Ingrid Lind
he declared the company bankrupt
and walked away,
leaving his shareholders penniless.
Since then, he has formed
a new company called North Star Castings
and carried on
In law, he did nothing wrong,
Miss Walsh.
His new company is not responsible
for the debts of his old one.
There were suspicious circumstances
in the sinking of the Ingrid Lind.
Lloyd's of London refused to pay out.
But no-one will say why.
My little sister a married woman.
Are you happy?
Ridiculously.
He's a very good man.
And for a clergyman
he packs a remarkably fine right hock.
Don't give up on Sally, you know.
She does love you,
only she doesn't know it yet.
My losses had nothing
to do with bad luck.
They are due to immorality and fraud.
Well then, I think it's time Mr Bellmann
answered a few of our questions.
If you're right, I promise I shall
get every penny of your money back.
Be careful, Miss Lockhart,
I don't much care for idle promises.
