Chicken, please.
More tea.
Branwell...
Yeah? Tell us something
about...Liverpool.
All right. Well,
the docks were extraordinary.
Uh-huh? We saw a black man.
A blackamoor, a Creole.
He really was black. So dark, Papa.
Ah? And I spoke to him.
Didn't really understand
what he was saying
and I don't think he understood
a word I was saying either
but it was just...fascinating.
I think he was something
on one of the ships.
MUFFLED LAUGHTER
CHUCKLING:
Yes?
If you...
If you don't...
get on top of...
of this habit...
when things don't go right for you,
if you can't exercise
some restraint,
then it'll take over your life,
Branwell. Don't be ridiculous.
I'm not being ridiculous.
It'll destroy you. Mm.
Potentially, you still have
so much to offer, Branwell.
You need a plan.
I've got plans. Have you?
And can you share them? With anyone?
D'you know what I've realised? What?
There's no money in poetry.
Novels.
Whilst the composition of a poem
demands the utmost stretch
of a man's intellect...
..and for what?
10 at best.
I could hum a tune
and smoke a cigar
and I'd have a novel written.
No-one will publish a novel
by an unknown author.
I've had nine poems published
in the Halifax Guardian.
It's only Halifax, I know,
You'd need a good story for a novel.
Oh, when was I ever
short of a story?
Are you still thinking about going
to Paris? I don't think it's likely.
At the moment.
Why? It might do you good.
Are you still hell-bent
I'm not...poorly.
I'm just struggling to...
Why is it that a woman's lot
is so very different to a man's?
I've never felt inferior.
Have you? Intellectually?
Why is it that we have
so very few opportunities?
You or I could do almost anything
we set our minds to. But no.
All we can realistically plan
is a school, a modest enough school,
that no-one wants to come to.
Why is it that the woman's lot
is to be perpetually infantilised...
..or else invisible and powerless
to you, then?
Heger?
No.
Anne says
you've written some poems.
Have you ever thought about
publishing them? No.
It's just the...
The thing is, you see...
I've written some verses too...
and if between us we could
accumulate enough material
a small volume...
And have it pored over
and rubbished and ridiculed
by anyone who might choose to waste
their money on it? Not likely.
with evening's wandering airs,
"With that clear dusk of heaven
that brings the thickest stars.
"Winds take a pensive tone,
