"THINK OF THE ONE YOU YEARN FOR WHILE WALKING BACKWARD,"
"EATING A FOUR-LEAF CLOVER."
"YOU'LL MAKE THAT PERSON FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU."
YOU CAN'T FIND CLOVER IN THE WINTERTIME.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY THE SEASON ONE WANTS TO BE IN LOVE.
WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?
"CARESS THE FORELOCK OF A BLACK HORSE,"
"AND THE NEXT UNMARRIED MAN YOU SHAKE HANDS WITH"
"WILL BE YOUR BETROTHED."
"AVOID CROSSING PATHS WITH"
"SHIFTLESS AND THE UNSAVORY."
THOSE GIRLS ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT ROMANCE AND LOVE.
SO YOU SEE, SARA, MAYBE
WE DON'T NEED LOVE POTIONS.
A WOMAN'S WILES
CAN WIN HER ANY MAN.
THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME READ THIS RIDICULOUS ARTICLE
ON HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT BEAU?
WHOA!
IZZY PETTIBONE!
WASN'T MY FAULT.
FELIX, GIVE BACK THAT MAGAZINE
BEFORE I KNOCK THE STUFFING OUT OF YOU.
TRY AND CATCH ME IF YOU WANT IT.
"TAP TWO STICKS; YOU'LL DREAM OF YOUR BELOVED."
FELIX!
[ LAUGHING ]
IF I DON'T GET MY HANDS ON ANOTHER COPY OF
EVERY GIRL'S CALENDAR, MY LIFE WILL BE OVER.
THAT FELIX IS GOING TO PAY DEARLY.
SOMEHOW, FELICITY, I CAN'T QUITE
SHARE THE SCOPE OF YOUR TRAGEDY.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONE BEING EMBARRASSED
BY THOSE DREADFUL CHILDREN.
IF YOU DIDN'T GO SO OVERBOARD
IN YOUR SEARCH FOR THE PERFECT
ROMANCE, MAYBE--
FELICITY!
HOLD ON!
GUS, HELLO.
SARA.
I SUPPOSE I SHOULD GO AND CHECK
ON THOSE POOR LITTLE PIGLETS.
SO YOU'RE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THAT OLD SOW?
SHE WON'T NURSE HER BROOD.
OH, MAYBE I CAN HELP.
GUS, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
ARTHUR!
FELICITY, IT'S AWFULLY NICE TO SEE YOU.
SO, SHE'S PRETTY BAD, IS SHE, MRS. KING?
OH, GUS.
IF SHE DOESN'T START NURSING, THE WHOLE LITTER WILL DIE.
I WISH ALEC WERE HERE.
IF YOU BRING A DOG INTO THE BARN,
THAT GETS THE SOW PROTECTIVE.
SHE'LL ACT LIKE A MOTHER AGAIN.
GUS, NOW, THAT'S A CLEVER IDEA.
I WOULDN'T DO THAT, MRS. KING.
A BROOD SOW COULD TAKE IT INTO HER HEAD TO KILL DIGGER,
AND THERE'D BE NO WAY TO STOP HER.
PIG FARMER WHO WE DEAL WITH AT THE HOTEL TOLD ME THAT.
WELL, CURING HAMS IS NOT THE SAME AS CURING PIGS.
NOW, THEY DON'T DEVOTE MUCH TIME TO SWINE IN CLASSES.
BESIDES, HORSES ARE MY SPECIAL INTEREST.
[ GRUNTING ]
BUT IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY...
SOMETIMES YOU CAN ENCOURAGE THEM TO,
UH...TURN ON THE MACHINERY.
OH!
VERY INGENIOUS.
I'LL COME BACK AND CHECK HER IN A FEW HOURS,
BUT I'D SAY SHE'LL START NURSING SOONER THAN THAT.
I THINK THE PIGLETS WILL BE JUST FINE.
YOU GOT THE SOW TO MILK?
IF I GAVE THE RIGHT INNARDS A LITTLE NUDGE,
WE'LL SEE SOON ENOUGH, HUH?
ARTHUR KNOWS A LOT ABOUT PIGS.
HE SHOULD. HE LIVES WITH ONE.
SOOEE!
COME ON, LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK
AT YOUR COUSINS.
ARTHUR, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR COMING.
ARE YOU SURE YOU WON'T STAY FOR TEA?
OH, YES, PLEASE.
ANOTHER TIME, PERHAPS.
THANK YOU, ARTHUR.
I WILL-- I SHOULD SAY,
WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING THE FAVOUR.
IT'S NOTHING -- I'M VERY INTERESTED IN
HELPING IN THE COMMUNITY WHILE I'M HERE.
COME ON, TSK, TSK, LET'S GO.
BYE NOW.
LISTEN TO THIS ONE.
"HANG YOUR SHOES OUT THE WINDOW, AND YOU'LL DREAM OF YOUR LOVE."
WHO COULD BELIEVE THAT?
WE COULD TEST IT.
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
THIS ONE'S PERFECT.
"OFFER YOUR PROSPECTIVE BEAU A DRINK CONTAINING"
"A TEASPOON OF YOUR OWN POWDERED TOENAILS."
YECCHH!
WHO'S HER PROSPECTIVE BEAU?
GUS PIKE.
AND ARTHUR.
I'LL GET THE TOENAILS.
WE'LL PUT THEM IN SOME CUPS OF TEA OR SOMETHING.
THEN WE'LL SIT BACK AND WATCH ALL THE FUN HAPPEN.
ALL CHORES MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE PLAYTIME.
ARTHUR, UNDER YOUR SUPERVISION, YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER
WILL PERFORM THEIR REQUIRED END OF THE WEEK TASKS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE CHILDREN
WILL TAKE FOR BREAKFAST IN MY ABSENCE.

OR A LACK OF RESPECT OR BOTH, WHICH?
YOUNG MAN, I'M CHARGED WITH LEADING--
A FAMILY.
NOT A MILITARY REGIMENT.
HERE.
SATURDAY'S SCHEDULE.
LAUNDRY, CLEANING THE CHIMNEY, STOVE AND OVENS, KITCHEN FLOOR,
INDIVIDUAL ROOMS, OF COURSE, AND RUGS AS DEEMED NECESSARY.
CHECK THE STORES FOR FIREWOOD.
I LIKE TO MAINTAIN A TWO-WEEK SUPPLY.
I'VE DRAWN UP HOURLY GUIDELINES TO ASSIST YOU.
SHOULD YOU NEED ANY ASSISTANCE, PLEASE CALL UPON MISS KING.
FATHER, I'M PERFECTLY
CAPABLE OF FUNCTIONING
WITHOUT ANY ASSIST--
FATHER, CAN YOU GET US OUR OWN
COPY OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES?
I'D LIKE TO GET THE CHAPTERS IN ABOUT THE GUILLOTINE
BEFORE THE REST OF THE CLASS.
PERHAPS I SHALL.
YOU WILL PERFORM YOUR REQUIRED TASKS IN MY ABSENCE?
YES, SIR.
NO CLOTHES, THOUGH, PLEASE.
LUGGAGE.
MARCH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BEING IN CHARGE.
FATHER WON'T LIKE IT.
FATHER'S NOT HERE.
WE'RE FALLING BEHIND SCHEDULE.
I'M NOT ON ANY KIND OF SCHEDULE.
THOSE GO IN THE SOAKING PILE.
I WON'T SOAK THEM BEFOREHAND; I'LL USE BORAX AFTERWARDS.
BUT FATHER SAYS--
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WHAT FATHER SAYS.
YOU TWO HANG ON HIS EVERY WORD.
I'VE BEEN LIVING IN TORONTO FOR TWO YEARS NOW.
I'VE SEEN NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS.
PEOPLE ARE FREE TO CHOOSE
WHATEVER COURSE OF ACTION THEY WANT.
HALLELUJAH -- I'M GOING TO RUN
THESE UP THE SCHOOL FLAGPOLE!
YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT GUS AGAIN, AREN'T YOU?
NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WASN'T.
ALL YOU THINK ABOUT ANY MORE IS BOYS.
MEN, SARA, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
AND I THINK OF LOTS OF OTHER
THINGS, LIKE CLOTHES.
TO ENHANCE YOUR LOOKS FOR MEN.
I THINK ABOUT LITERATURE.
WAYS TO ATTRACT MEN.
THE FUTURE, MARRIAGE.
MEN, MEN, MEN!
LOOK AT HIM.
HE'S SO HELPLESS.
THAT'S HARDLY A STRONG RECOMMENDATION.
BESIDES, HE'S ONE OF THE MOST CAPABLE YOUNG MEN WE KNOW.
IT'S TRUE, ISN'T IT?
SARA, I HONESTLY SENSE THAT ARTHUR NEEDS ME.
WE CAN ALWAYS GO TO THE GENERAL STORE.
FELICITY, I'VE COMPLETELY REARRANGED MY DAY AROUND YOU!
SARA, HE SAVED OUR PIGS. WE'RE INDEBTED TO HIM.
BESIDES, IT'S THE NEIGHBOURLY THING TO DO.
FELICITY.
WHAT?
I THINK YOU WERE BUTTONING YOUR BOOTS
WHEN THE LORD HANDED OUT BRAINS.
HAVEN'T YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT SOMEONE?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? DON'T BE SO THICK.
GUS, YOU STILL LIKE HIM, DON'T YOU?
OF COURSE I DO.
BUT WHY CAN'T I LIKE ARTHUR TOO?
IT'S CALLED HAVING YOUR PIE AND EATING IT TOO.
SARA, DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU
THAT IN THE RECENT PAST I LIED FOR YOU,
PARTICULARLY IN THAT SORDID AFFAIR
INVOLVING MARSHAL ZAK MORGAN.
NOW, I'VE IMPROVED YOUR FASHION SENSE AND GIVEN
YOU THE BENEFIT OF MY EXPERIENCE.
YOU CAN AT LEAST TRY AND SEE MY POINT OF VIEW.
ALL RIGHT, BUT...I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO HEAR THIS,
BUT I THINK YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.
OH, SARA, SINCE YOU'RE GOING INTO THE STORE ANYWAY,
WOULD YOU MIND PICKING ME UP A NEW COPY
OF EVERY GIRL'S CALENDAR?
ARTHUR PETTIBONE, YOU NEED A WOMAN'S ABLE HAND.
GET OFF ME!
I'LL TEACH YOU TO STEAL MY BLOOMERS.
I CAN'T BREATHE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.
IZZY, MORGAN!
I'VE GOT THEM.
FELICITY'S TOENAIL CLIPPINGS.
HERE'S YOURS.
GOOD.
ARTHUR DESERVES THIS.
SURE HOPE IT WORKS.
IT'S TWISTED.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
DON'T MOVE YOUR END, I'LL MOVE MINE.
THERE.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN DESTINY, FELICITY?
IN THE ANCIENT BELIEF THAT, THAT EACH SOUL
IS DESTINED TO FIND ITS MATCH IN ANOTHER?
PLEASE, COME INSIDE.
WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.
OH, WHAT'S THAT YOU'RE BUYING THERE?
EVERY GIRL'S CALENDAR?
IT'S FOR FELICITY.
I'M READING THE CRIMSON AGENT.
SHE HERE WITH YOU?
SHE'S BUSY.
SHE'S NOT REALLY HERSELF TODAY.
I WAS GOING TO DROP BY THE KING FARM LATER.
WHY DON'T I DROP THIS OFF FOR YOU?
NO.
I MEAN, SHE'S NOT REALLY FEELING WELL TODAY,
AND SHE DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO SEE ANYBODY.
I'M SURE ANYONE DOESN'T INCLUDE ME.
BESIDES, I WOULDN'T MIND READING UP ON THIS ARTICLE,
HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT BEAU.
SEEING AS HUNTING SEASON'S OPEN NOW.
OH, GOOD DAY, GUS, AND HOW ARE YOU?
OH, FAIR TO MIDDLING.
THE AIR IS SO FRESH,
I JUST CAN'T STOP BREATHING IT IN, LONG AND DEEP.
I THOUGHT I'D COME AND SEE
IF FELICITY WANTED TO SHARE THE AIR.
GUS, I'M SURE FELICITY WOULD LOVE TO SHARE
THE AIR, BUT SHE'S NOT IN.
OH, SARA SAID SHE WAS IN BUT JUST WASN'T SEEING ANYONE.
WELL, THE LAST TIME I SAW FELICITY, SHE WAS WITH SARA,
HEADED TOWARD THE GENERAL STORE.
SARA WAS THERE ALONE.
WELL, MY GUESS IS THEY'RE TOGETHER OVER AT ROSE COTTAGE.
YOU KNOW ADOLESCENT GIRLS AND THEIR SCHEMING.
HMM.
GUS, JUST THE MAN I WANTED TO SEE.
FELIX, I DON'T HAVE THE TIME--
JUST TAKE A SIP OF THIS.
IT'S SOMETHING NEW I MADE ALL BY MYSELF.
THOUGHT I'D MENTION IT TO PIERRE AT THE HOTEL.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
GOOD, REAL GOOD, GOTTA GO.
HAVE YOU SEEN FELICITY?
NO.
I'M GOING LOOKING FOR HER.
WHERE IS SHE, SARA?
AT ARTHUR'S.
AT HIS HOUSE?
ALL THIS TIME?
AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?
I JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE SORT OF THING FELICITY
WOULD WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT.
WELL, I...
GUESS HE'S THE KIND OF FELLOW WHO CAN TURN A GIRL'S HEAD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SARA?
I DON'T REALLY KNOW HIM.
IF YOU'RE MY FRIEND, SARA STANLEY, YOU'LL HELP ME OUT.
I AM YOUR FRIEND, GUS.
YOU KNOW THAT.
I THOUGHT YOU TWO WOULD LIKE SOME TEA.
OH, THANKS, IZ.
JUST PUT IT OVER THERE, OK.
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THESE FOR MONTHS NOW, LATE AT NIGHT.
WE CAN PROBABLY MANAGE NOW, IZ.
DON'T YOU HAVE A SCHEDULE
TO CONFORM TO?
I'VE NEVER SHOWN THESE TO ANYONE BEFORE.
WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY?
THIS ONE'S PART UNICORN, PART WHALE.
LIVES IN THE SEA.
UNICORNS?
IN THE SEA?
YEAH, MOST PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE THEY EXIST, BUT I DO.
IS THAT WHY YOU LIKE TO RIDE ON THE CLIFFS ON THE NORTH SHORE?
ONE OF THE REASONS, YEAH.
BUT THEY PROBABLY DON'T EXIST OFF OUR COAST.
THE POLAR SEA IS WHERE THEY'VE BEEN SPOTTED.
AND ONE DAY I WANT TO SIGN ON TO AN ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
IF THESE CREATURES REALLY DO EXIST, I INTEND TO FIND THEM.
WOULD YOU EVER BE INTERESTED IN SUCH PURSUITS, FELICITY?
OH, NO.
NOTHING SO AMBITIOUS AS THAT.
I'M AFRAID.
I'VE ALWAYS JUST THOUGHT OF GETTING MARRIED,
HAVING A FAMILY.
OH, WELL, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DREAM,
ONLY THAT YOU HAVE ONE.
[ KNOCKING ]
OH, UM, WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?
SARA.
ARTHUR, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
WOULD YOU COME WITH ME?
IT'S AUNT HETTY'S HORSE -- IT INJURED ITS LEG.
IT SLIPPED ON THE ICE YESTERDAY,
AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
I'M VERY WORRIED.
IT MAY HAVE BROKEN SOMETHING
OR PULLED SOMETHING.
ALL RIGHT, WAIT HERE.
I'LL JUST GET MY BAG, AND I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
WAS THAT SARA'S VOICE I HEARD?
YES.
WILL YOU WAIT FOR ME, FELICITY?
WHAT'S HAPPENED?
I WON'T BE LONG, I PROMISE.
I JUST HAVE TO GO TO ROSE COTTAGE.
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH MISS KING'S HORSE.
OH, BUT PLEASE, UM, I WANT YOU TO STAY RIGHT HERE.
DON'T MOVE.
OH, ALL RIGHT.
IN THE MEANTIME, I COULD WASH
THE DISHES, DO THE IRONING,
I COULD CLEAN YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE
AND MAKE A FRESH POT OF TEA
BY THE TIME YOU RETURN.
SO, DESCRIBE THE SYMPTOMS TO ME.
UM, SYMPTOMS, WELL, HE SORT OF FAVOURS ONE LEG,
AND HE NEIGHS PITIABLY.
IS HE OFF HIS FOOD?
UM...
DID YOU NOTICE ANY WOUND?
WOUND?
WELL, SEE, HE MIGHT, BUT HE WON'T REALLY LET ME SEE.
YOU THE NEW MISTRESS OF THE PETTIBONE HOUSE?
I WAS JUST BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOUR.
I'D DO THIS SORT OF HOUSEKEEPING FOR YOU.
THAT'S THE POINT.
IF YOU DO IT FOR ME, YOU DON'T DO IT FOR HIM.
I WAS SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN RULE:
"DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD DO--"
I KNOW HOW IT GOES.
LOOK, FELICITY, I ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.
ARTHUR AND I ARE ONLY FRIENDS!
STOP BEHAVING LIKE A JEALOUS SCHOOLBOY.
JEALOUS?
OF WHAT?
I CAN SEE THAT PETTIBONE FELLA'S FULL OF CRAZY NOTIONS.
I MAY BE PLAIN-SPEAKING, FELICITY, BUT WHEN I TALK,
IT'S HONEST, GOOD SENSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
GUS, YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT COMMON EVERYDAY THINGS,
BUT ARTHUR, HE KNOWS ABOUT WONDERFUL, FANTASTICAL THINGS.
HE STUDIES THE UNDERWATER MYSTERIES OF THE SEA,
LIKE UNICORNS THAT SWIM IN THE ICY DEPTHS.
SWIMMING UNICORNS?
HO! THAT'S RICH.
AND YOU BELIEVE THESE FANCIFUL TALES HE TELLS YOU?
GULLIBILITY LOOKS GOOD ON YOU, FELICITY.
I DON'T CARE IF IT ISN'T TRUE.
ARTHUR HAS BRILLIANT IDEAS.
MMM, HE HAS IDEAS ABOUT YOU.
AND I'M PUTTING AN END TO THEM.
STOP IT!
YOU DON'T OWN ME LIKE, LIKE YOUR FISHING BOOTS,
THE ONLY THING YOU'LL EVER OWN!
I THOUGHT WE MEANT SOMETHING TO EACH OTHER.
I GUESS I WAS WRONG.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT HOOF, FETLOCK OR KNEE.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
IT APPEARS THE POOR OLD MARE HAS RECOVERED.
IT APPEARS I'VE BEEN MISLED.
ARTHUR, WAIT.
I'M NOT AMUSED BY WILD GOOSE CHASES,
ESPECIALLY NOT WHERE AN ANIMAL'S WELLBEING IS CONCERNED.
LOOK, I ONLY WANTED--
WHAT?
WHAT DID YOU WANT?
LOOK, I HAVE THESE TWO GOOD FRIENDS.
I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP THEM.
YOU MEAN FELICITY AND GUS PIKE, DON'T YOU?
YOU MADE UP THAT STORY TO GET ME AWAY FROM FELICITY
SO THAT GUS PIKE COULD SEE HER?
WAIT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I KNOW YOU WON'T BELIEVE ME, BUT I LIKE FELICITY.
I LIKE HER VERY MUCH.
THESE THINGS SHOULD BE WORKED OUT BY THOSE INVOLVED.
NOW, I UNDERSTAND YOUR LOYALTY.
YOU DON'T WANT YOUR FRIENDS HURT,
BUT I WILL NOT STOP SEEING OR TALKING
TO FELICITY UNLESS SHE TELLS ME.
AND NOW, SINCE THERE'S SOMEONE WAITING FOR ME AT HOME,
PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.
[ SOBBING ]
FELICITY, WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT HAPPENED?
OH, I'M SO HATEFUL.
I'M SO ASHAMED.
NO ONE COULD EVER LOVE ME.
GUS WAS HERE, WASN'T HE?
THE BRUTE!
HE BROUGHT YOU TO THIS.
NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT'S ME.
I SAID THE MOST AWFUL THING.
HE THINKS THAT YOU AND I WERE...
AND OF COURSE THAT'S NOT TRUE.
IT COULDN'T BE TRUE.
NOW HE'LL PROBABLY
NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.
I'M NOT GOING TO TOLERATE YOU CRYING OVER HIM.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
PLEASE DON'T CRY.
I'D NEVER MAKE YOU CRY.
FATHER!
I, UH...
I COME HOME EARLY, AND WHAT DO I FIND?
TO BRING THIS KIND OF DISREPUTE INTO MY HOME IS UNCONSCIONABLE.
YOU EXPECT AN APOLOGY, I SUPPOSE.
WHAT, IN YOUR MIND, HAPPENED, FATHER?
IT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
IT'S WHAT YOU DID.
PROPER GENTLEMEN OPERATE BY A CERTAIN SET OF RULES,
WHICH YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND...
RULES OF BEHAVIOUR WHICH YOU REPEATEDLY TRANSGRESS.
YOU HAVE RULES FOR EVERYTHING.
I'M NOT LIKE YOU.
I DON'T FOLLOW THE HYPOCRITICAL STANDARDS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
I FOLLOW MY FEELINGS.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FEELINGS?
ENOUGH THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT A WIFE,
THE MOTHER OF YOUR THREE CHILDREN,
TO GO OFF AND FIGHT IN A STUPID WAR.
I DIDN'T KNOW. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN HOW ILL SHE WAS?
SHE DIED CALLING YOUR NAME.
STOP -- DO YOU THINK A DAY PASSES THAT
I DON'T AGONIZE OVER WHAT HAPPENED?
NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT YOU DID.
WHAT YOU, WHAT YOU DID TO ME, TO ALL OF US.
YOUR MOTHER COULD'VE DIED IN MY ARMS,
BUT SHE STILL WOULD HAVE DIED.
YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?
SON?
HATE ME FOR THE PAST IF YOU WILL, ARTHUR, BUT WHILE YOU LIVE
UNDER THIS ROOF YOU WILL BEHAVE LIKE A PROPER GENTLEMAN.
FATHER?
IZZY, DEAR, DEAR.
I DIDN'T EVEN SAY HELLO, DID I?
[ CHUCKLING ]
OH, I DID EVERYTHING ACCIDENTALLY,
BUT IT WAS JUST LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE EVERY GIRL'S CALENDAR.
OH, I WISH I COULD FIND THAT ROTTEN MAGAZINE.
SARA, AUNT HETTY MUST HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE.
FELICITY, I'VE TOLD TWO LIES ON YOUR BEHALF,
AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS THIS
LUDICROUS ARTICLE ON LOVE POTIONS?
IT WAS SOMETHING ABOUT CARESSING THE FORELOCK OF A HORSE.
GUS WILL PROBABLY NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.
AND I DIDN'T WASH MY HANDS.
FELICITY, WILL YOU CALM DOWN?
YOU'RE NOT BEING RATIONAL AT ALL.
THE FIRST UNMARRIED MAN
I SHOOK HANDS WITH AFTERWARD
IS THE ONE I MARRY.
IT'S DESTINY.
IT'S ARTHUR!
WILL YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF?
YOUR DESTINY IS YOUR CHOICE.
BUT YOU CAN'T GO AROUND PLAYING WITH BOTH OF THEIR AFFECTIONS.
YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR.
IT SIMPLY ISN'T FAIR.
OH, SARA, I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE LIKE HIM BEFORE.
HE'S SO ROMANTIC AND FILLED WITH DREAMS AND NEW IDEAS.
HE LOVES PHILOSOPHY AND ANCIENT MYSTICISM--
YOU HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON.
IT'S TRUE.
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HIM LIKE I DO. HE SAID SO HIMSELF.
WHAT ABOUT GUS?
I AM NOT HIS EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY!
AND IF THAT'S WHAT HE THINKS,
THEN I'LL NEVER SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN.
NOW, HAND OVER THAT MAGAZINE, SARA.
I'M NOT FOOLING ANY MORE.
GUS, I KNOW YOU'RE ANGRY WITH ME, AND I DON'T BLAME YOU,
BUT IF YOU STILL CARE ABOUT FELICITY--
IF YOU THINK I'M GOING OVER THERE
TO MAKE UP TO FELICITY,
YOU'RE WRONG -- SHE CAN COME TO ME.
GUS.
BESIDES, YOU LIED TO ME TOO.
FOR ALL I KNOW, YOU'RE IN CAHOOTS
WITH HER AGAIN.
GUS, I'M YOUR FRIEND.
AND I LIED AS A FRIEND.
I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY... AND FELICITY, TOO.
WELL, MAYBE SHE'LL BE HAPPY WITH ARTHUR.
HE'S GOT AN EDUCATION.
WHY, HE'S A PROFESSIONAL MAN.
'COURSE, YOU AND I KNOW HE'S GOT HIS HEAD IN THE CLOUDS.
JUST WATCH.
FELICITY'S GONNA RUE THE DAY SHE EVER LAID EYES ON HIM.
SHE'LL COME AROUND.
I KNOW IT.
MAYBE I WON'T EVEN ACCEPT HER APOLOGY STRAIGHT OFF.
GUS.
WOMEN LOVE IT WHEN YOU'RE STANDOFFISH, DON'T THEY, SARA?
ARTHUR KISSED FELICITY.
KISSED HER?
WHERE?
IN THE PARLOUR.
MM-HMM.
I'LL BET HE'S BACK AT THE KING FARM NOW, ISN'T HE?
AH, YOU'RE GAINING WEIGHT, YOU LITTLE DEVIL.
EASY, EASY, NOW.
WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS TOWARD
FELICITY KING,
MR. ARTHUR PETTIBONE? WELL--
SHE'S MY GIRL, AS IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE.
SHE DIDN'T ACT LIKE IT YESTERDAY.
WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING? THAT FELICITY CHOSE--
STOP IT!
[ GROWLING ]
STOP...
BOTH OF YOU!
GUS PIKE, YOU'RE BEHAVING LIKE A WILD SAVAGE.
AND ARTHUR,
FOR SHAME, STOOPING TO THIS LEVEL.
I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.
I WAS DRAWN INTO THIS ALTERCATION
AGAINST MY WILL, FELICITY.
YOU KNOW I'M NOT THE BRUTAL TYPE.
I WAS PUNCHING MYSELF, WAS I?
OBVIOUSLY NOT.
ARTHUR, YOU'RE BLEEDING.
HIS HANDS AREN'T AS SURE AS HIS MOUTH.
WHAT CAN'T BE SOLVED PEACEFULLY CAN'T BE SOLVED BY A TUSSLE.
I'M AGAINST FIGHTING ON PRINCIPLE.
I WON'T FIGHT ON PRINCIPLE EITHER.
BUT I WILL FIGHT FOR SOMEONE I LOVE.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I LOVE YOU.
GREAT JEHOSHAPHAT!
THE POTION REALLY WORKED!
I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT GUS.
I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT SORT OF PIES TO MAKE UP NEXT.
IF ONLY THE GREEN APPLES WERE AS SWEET AS THE RED ONES.
AND GUS MORE LIKE ARTHUR?
YOU CAN'T COMPARE APPLES TO MEN. WE'LL MAKE ONE OF EACH.
I SUPPOSE NOT.
FOR ONE THING, IT'S YOU THAT PICKS THE APPLES,
AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND -- ISN'T THAT SO, FELICITY?
WELL, MAYBE, SARA, I WILL CHOOSE TO NEVER
HAVE ANOTHER APPLE AGAIN.
BUT WOULD YOU BE HAPPY?
BESIDES, THE SWEETER THE PIE, THE MORE FLIES BUZZ AROUND.
YOU'D THINK THAT HAVING TWO MEN INTERESTED IN YOU AT ONCE
WOULD SORT OF DOUBLE THE ADVENTURE.
YOU REALLY DO ENJOY PLAYING ONE OFF
THE OTHER, DON'T YOU, FELICITY?
SARA, MAYBE SOMEDAY YOU'LL SEE HOW
TERRIBLY NICE IT IS TO BE APPRECIATED.
FELICITY, BOTH GUS AND ARTHUR HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU,
BUT YOU'RE TREATING THEM LIKE THIS IS
SOME SORT OF A BAKING CONTEST OR--
SARA,
IF WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT MEN TOGETHER,
THEN YOU'RE NOT MUCH OF A FRIEND, ARE YOU?
MAYBE NOT TO YOU, BUT I AM TO GUS.
YOU PRETEND TO BE SO MATURE, BUT SOMETIMES I THINK
YOU'RE JUST ABOUT AS JUVENILE AS FELIX.
AND EVEN THOUGH I DON'T REALLY KNOW ARTHUR PETBONE,
I THINK HIS FEELINGS ARE GENUINE TOO.
SO, FOR THEIR SAKE, DECIDE WHICH ONE
YOU WANT TO BE WITH.
'AFTERNOON, MRS. KING.
GUS...
WAS FELICITY EXPECTING YOU?
WELL, NO.
DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?
ISN'T SHE HERE?
YES, BUT NO.
PARDON? WELL, SHE'S IN,
BUT SHE'S NOT REALLY AVAILABLE.
ARTHUR HAS COME CALLING ON FELICITY.
HE CAN'T.
I TOLD HER I--
OH, WELL, SHE WAS AS SURPRISED AS YOU ARE.
SHE HASN'T AGREED TO SEE HIM...YET.
I'LL BE BACK.
GOOD IDEA.
I THINK YOU'VE ENJOYED HAVING TWO BOYS PAYING ATTENTION
TO YOU, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION.
ARTHUR'S HERE NOW.
YOU CAN'T KEEP HIM WAITING FOREVER.
LET'S LEAVE THEM ALONE, CLIVE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU'D WANT TO SEE ME.
WHY WOULDN'T I SEE YOU?
YOU'RE NOT SURPRISED I CAME CALLING?
WELL, INDEED, I AM
A LITTLE SURPRISED.
THIS COURTING PROTOCOL IS FOR OTHERS, LIKE MY FATHER.
IT WAS HIS IDEA THAT I COME, ACTUALLY.
I DON'T SHARE HIS LOVE FOR RULES.
WHY SHOULD WE ADOPT THE VIEWS OF A PREVIOUS GENERATION?
WE SHOULD BE FREE TO SEE EACH OTHER
FOR AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS WE WANT TO.
YOU AND I SHARE A MODERN OUTLOOK, DON'T WE?
ARTHUR, I'M NOT SURE I WANT THINGS TO GO FURTHER BETWEEN US.
GUS INTENDS TO COURT ME, AS ANY YOUNG BEAU SHOULD,
IN THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.
I WON'T APOLOGIZE FOR KISSING YOU THE OTHER DAY,
BUT PERHAPS I WAS TOO BOLD.
NO, I SHOULD APOLOGIZE, FOR GIVING YOU THE WRONG IMPRESSION.
NO, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE...
A KINDRED SOUL.
FELICITY!
SHE WON'T TALK TO ME, HETTY.
IF ONLY ALEC WOULD GET BACK FROM
THAT STUPID MASONS' MEETING IN CARMODY.
OH, NOW, NOW, JANET.
IT'S WE WHO MUST COUNSEL FELICITY
IN MATTERS OF THE HEART, NOT ALEC.
A MAN WOULD BE COMPLETELY AT LOOSE ENDS.
OH.
OH, FELICITY.
I KNOW, MY DEAR, YOU MUST HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.
OH, AUNT HETTY, WHY IS IT THAT JUST
WHEN YOU MEET THE RIGHT PERSON,
YOU MEET THE WRONG PERSON?
AH, WELL, TIMING CAN CHANGE EVERY ASPECT
OF THE HEART, IT'S TRUE.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE WRONG
PERSON COULD BE THE RIGHT PERSON,
BUT YOU'VE MET HIM AT THE WRONG TIME?
OR IS THE WRONG PERSON
ALWAYS THE WRONG PERSON, EVEN IF YOU
MEET HIM AT THE RIGHT TIME?
OR IS THE WRONG PERSON THE RIGHT
PERSON BECAUSE HE MAKES YOU SEE THAT
THE RIGHT PERSON IS THE WRONG PERSON?
AT THE RIGHT TIME, YOU MEAN?
OOH, WELL, YES.
THAT IS TO SAY, NO.
OR TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY, NO...AND YES.
FISHING BOOTS -- THAT'S ALL YOU DO HAVE.
IT'S NOT ALL I HAVE, FELICITY.
GOOD EVENING, MRS. KING.
GUS, IT'S LATE, DEAR.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I HAVE TO SEE HER.
WELL, YOU CAN'T SEE HER.
...THE HONEY, THE BUTTER?
IF GUS IS SO SURE OF HIMSELF, HE'LL COME FORWARD EARNESTLY.
BUT ARTHUR MAY FEEL I HAVE OFFENDED...
FELICITY?
GUS.
WELL, I'LL JUST RUN ALONG NOW
AND LET YOU YOUNG PEOPLE DO
WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
YOU SAID I OWNED NOTHING.
I ALMOST DIDN'T COME TONIGHT, BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU
WERE RIGHT, THAT I HAD NOTHING IN THIS WORLD.
I NEVER USED TO HAVE ANYTHING,
AND I THOUGHT I NEVER WOULD HAVE ANYTHING.
THEN I MET YOU.
WE BECAME FRIENDS.
THEN MORE THAN FRIENDS.
THEN WE FOUGHT, AND I SAW THAT I DIDN'T HAVE NOTHING.
I SAW THAT I'D ONLY REALLY HAVE NOTHING
IF I LOST YOU... BY MY OWN STUPIDITY.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU, FELICITY.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE CHANCE TO LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
WILL YOU MARRY ME?
YOU PICK THE APPLES.
THEY DON'T PICK YOU.
YOU COULD PICK ME.
I WANT YOU TO, VERY MUCH.
BUT IT'S UP TO YOU.
WELL, ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU LOVE GUS.
AND EVEN IF THE ANSWER IS YES,
FELICITY, THERE'S STILL A DECISION.
ARE YOU READY FOR MARRIAGE AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT?
TO BE WITH SOMEONE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,
TO HAVE A HOME, TO RAISE CHILDREN WITH HIM.
NOW, I WAS MARRIED YOUNG AND HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY.
BUT HETTY CHOSE A CAREER OVER A FAMILY
AND HAS BEEN VERY HAPPY.
OLIVIA SQUEEZED IN A CAREER AND A FAMILY
AND HAS BEEN VERY, VERY HAPPY.
TOO MANY CHOICES.
WHAT IF I MAKE THE WRONG ONE?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
MOTHER, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART.
WHAT'S IN MY HEART IS AWFUL, AWFUL PAIN.
IF THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GROW UP, THEN I DON'T WANT TO.
NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, SARA.
I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY MIND.
I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN MYSELF LATELY.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, THEN?
WELL, I CAN'T HURT GUS, BUT I CAN'T FORGET ARTHUR.
FOR PITY'S SAKE, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO TELL GUS?
YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP FLIP-FLOPPING BACK
AND FORTH LIKE A HOOKED FISH.
I DON'T KNOW...EXACTLY.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU'VE TRIED TO BE A SUPPORT THROUGH ALL THIS,
SARA, BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK I'M ON MY OWN.
GOOD LUCK, FELICITY.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING IN LOVE.
I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, BUT...
I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER GET HERE.
I DIDN'T SLEEP ALL NIGHT.
DID YOU?
YES.
I DON'T QUITE KNOW HOW TO SAY THIS...
WHAT?
GUS...WE HAVE OUR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF US.
I THOUGHT I-- I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD TO DECIDE RIGHT NOW,
BUT WE DON'T.
WE HAVE SO MANY CHOICES.
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE, I THINK ABOUT
TEACHER'S COLLEGE, MAYBE UNIVERSITY,
MARRIAGE, YES, AND CHILDREN.
AND YOU.
GUS, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO.
I KNOW THAT.
LET'S WAIT TO DECIDE.
YOU DON'T LOVE ME?
IF IN TWO YEARS' TIME YOU STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY,
WILL YOU ASK ME AGAIN?
TWO YEARS!
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
BUT NOTHING CAN CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
THE WIND'S COME UP.
I DON'T FEEL NOTHING.
