minnie, i was wanting to tell you-- i don't want told! if i live my whole life long, i never want to meet a lump of a boy like alf arless ever again! ( crying softly ) daniel. i'm so glad to see you. will you do something for me? will you hold me? i am so sorry, daniel. the town clock has stopped. everyone's talking about it. seems like some mischief night prank. you don't think i did it, do you? laura, i know it wasn't you. daniel, i'm so confused. i don't want to hurt you, but i must ask you to be patient with me. for us. what are you saying, laura? isn't it inevitable-- the shock of fisher coming back here? it's bound to... i have tried. surely you can see that i have tried to cast these thoughts out of my mind. what a pity it is that you must try. i'm trying to explain to you that it is distressing. it's confusing. i can see that, laura. but if you loved me-- truly loved me-- you'd have no room in your head for these thoughts. let's call them what they are-- doubts. you want certainties. life is not like that. i am human. i am here te

minnie. i would never say "undertaker" to you. for we all know it was an undertaker who cast you aside so cruelly. ( sobbing ) mr. pontefract must've hurt your sister terrible, miss pearl. minnie, leave now, and do not return until you can manage your tongue. yes, ma'am. please tell your sister i will never say "undertaker" again. ( sobbing ) minnie...go. ( water pouring ) but, ma'am, when miss ruby went to pontefract, she was happy ever after. she was. but if her undertaker was in love with her, then how could it stop? human frailty. what is that? we all want life to be simple, relationships to be enchanted. then along comes human frailty, and... before we know it, all is lost. ma'am, where does human frailty come from? who knows? the past. the darkest corners of the human soul. it simply creeps up on us. minnie, is there any water in that kettle? i--i did-- i did pour it in there. i don't know where it's gone. what are you all doing here? those candleford thieves robbed young edmund. candleford must answer for the doing of it. w

... ( sighs ) minnie...leford, i just wanted to say-- i know, alfie. i have my sisters to look after. i know. i live in lark rise, you live in candleford. i know, i know. i know we can't. minnie, i ain't saying we can't. i'm saying we can. if you-- what, kissing? yes, kissing... and sunday walks and tea at our cottage, if you like peas pudding. nine days old is my favorite. ( cheering and applause ) ( laughs ) ( indistinct chatter ) fisher... i can't go back to the way i felt last time you were here. i can only tell what i feel now. you are such a romantic man. you say such dreamy things, i get swept away by them, but what i feel for you now is not love. it is romance. what's the difference? ain't romance what we're supposed to feel? it is... to begin with. i feel exhilarated when i am with you, fisher-- giddy, so that i am lost in it... but i come down again. i don't know what will happen with daniel, but i know what i want. i know what this is. you think i'm blakestone's man. i was only trying to help, lau

minnie... dorcas: minnie! ( knock on door ) laura! laura! minnie, are you in there? ( knock on door ) goodness. laura, aren't you supposed to be going over to lark rise for lunch? i thought that i could do it, but i can't. daniel is knocking at the door for you. i cannot face it. to walk over there with him, to sit with him and my family. i feel dishonest. i'm in such a confusion of feelings. and am i right to imagine it has nothing to do with emily mullins? "it seems inglestone have lived too long in the shadow of candleford. they've decided they want a town clock." ohh. oh, dear. "they so admire the candleford clock that they insist on employing the same clockmaker." fisher bloom? when? he is on his way. ( indistinct chatter ) ( low ) you know something about this, don't you? ( sighs ) i wish i didn't. laura: hamlet folk often said that you could see gossip coming out of mrs. mullins' mouth like steam. her own troubles weren't to stop her from doing what she did best. and she only went and sold his easy chair without so much as asking him. i know it for a fact!
