But miss Mullins would never sell
the centry, would she, Dawker?
and Hornblower won't
stick at the price, sir.
What's
it worth, Dawker?
All depends what
you want it for, ma'am
he wants it
for spite.
We want it
for sentiment.
It's worth what
you'd like to get for it,
and he's a rich man.
You give me
your figure, sir.
I'll try the old lady
before he gets her.
Better let Dawker
make sure, Jack.
Jackman tells me this
Hornblower is coming to see me.
I'll put it to him.
Make him
all the keener, sir.
Better get in first.
Ape his methods?
Dawker. Go and see
miss Mullins now.
We leave it to you
to do the best you can.
Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Hornblower, sir.
Good morning.
Morning.
Morning.
A fine morning.
Lovely weather.
Haven't seen you for
a long time, Hillcrist.
Not since I sold you Longmeadow
and the cottages, I believe.
That's just what
I've come about.
Forgive me,
won't you sit down?
What have you got,
gout?
Oh,
that's unfortunate
I never get it.
I have no
disposition that way.
Had no ancestors,
you see.
Just me own drinking
to answer for.
You're lucky.
I wonder if mrs.
Hillcrist thinks that.
Am I lucky to have
no past, ma'am,
just the future?
You're quite sure you have
the future, mr. Hornblower?
Oh, yes, I've got
the future, all right.
I've had the Jackmans
here, mr. Hornblower.
Oh, man with the little
spitfire wife?
They're very excellent,
good people,
and they've lived quietly
in that cottage for 30 years.
Now you wanted me to
stir you up a bit.
You know, deepwater needs
a bit of gold put into it.
There's generally
some gold where I am.
I daresay you wish
there's been no...
keep their word, mr. Hornblower.
Amy.
Never mind, Hillcrist. Takes
more than that to upset me.
You promised me, you know,
not to disturb the tenancies.
Yes, well, I've come to
tell you that I've got to.
I wasn't expecting to have
the need when I bought.
I thought the duke would
sell me a bit down there,
but devil if he will.
And now I must have those
cottages for my workmen.
I've got important
works, you know.
The Jackmans have their
importance, too, sir.
Their heart's
in that cottage.
Well, if you think so
much of these Jackmans,
why not build them
a cottage yourselves?
You've got the space.
That's beside the point.
You promised me, and I sold
on that understanding.
I bought on the
understanding
I'd get some more
land from the dukes.
That's nothing
to do with me.
Ah, you'll find
that it has,
'cause I'm going
to have those cottages.
Well, I call it
simply...
now, now,
look here, Hillcrist.
You've not had occasion
