Take it home to your mother!
Pierre!
Oh no you don't!
Hurry!
They're after her.
Fire on them.
Get down! Get down!
-Are you alright;
-Yes l am.
There's your friend Godolphin.
There's a woman aboard.
Don't fire.
A safe passage back to land.
But first...
He's taken my wig!
Give it back!
The impertinence!
You'll pay for this!
l'll have you on the rack!
l'll have you hanged!
l'll have you arrested!
You'll pay for this!
l'll have you on the rack!
Save your powder boys.
You will not catch us this time.
AIe, aIi, aIo,
saiIor overboard.
AIe, aIi, aIo,
saiIor overboard.
-Who is it;
-Are you awake yet;
Come in.
l'm afraid l lost
l came once to see how you were
You're lying. l never saw so.
You were too far gone
to remember anything.
But we will not argue.
Are you hungry;
-Yes.
-l thought we'd have dinner together.
-What time is it;
-About 3:
00 in the afternoon.-What day would it be;
-Sunday.
Your Godolphin will have
missed this morning in church,
unless there's a good
wig maker in Fowey.
When did you put it here;
When you were seasick.
-Can you eat a wing;
-Yes.
By now we might be hanging from
a tree in Godolphin's park.
We would have been if that
wind hadn't shifted.
Do you always have
the devil's own luck Frenchman;
Always.
l'm glad l had the adventure
and the excitement
but l'm glad it's over too.
You did not do too badly
for a cabin boy.
How long are we going to be
on the Merry Fortune;
Why;
Do you want to go;
l just wondered.
What are we going to do now;.
As we will not get a breeze
before nightfall
we can do as we please.
the cool of the evening
before the sun is down.
We might.
This could be forever if we wished,
tomorrow and the next day.
Lady St. Columb is not
Dona the cabin boy.
She is someone that
has a life in another world.
Lady St. Columb is still
asleep at Navron.
And her dreams are
very, very lovely.
For all that,
they are still dreams.
She will wake when the sun is up
and begin to look after her house.
No, this. Always this.
Always the fire and the dark night,
you here against my heart.
Sail with me now and
never return to Navron.
-Sail with you;
-Yes.
Perhaps one day you will regret it.
l know what l have to offer can
never compensate what you give up.
and play at adventure,
but in the end, instinct
is too strong for them.
They must make their nest and
l would sail alone and you hate me.
-What is the answer then;
-There never has been an answer.
But if there is one come with me
and we will find it together.
-But l must plan things.
-No. No plans.
Just come back.
Come back and we'll have breakfast,
then we'll take the boat down river.
And so another day, and another,
and another...
No past, no future.
Only the present.
Only the present.
William. William.
l will open the hall door.
-lt's locked.
-Quick.
What is it;
The children;
Sir Harry has come.
Late last night.
Lord Rockingham is with him.
Come here.
Why did they come;
l gather it was
Lord Rockingham's idea.
lt would be Lord Rockingham...
What have you told Sir Harry;
That you'd been in bed for
several days with high fever.
You were at last getting some sleep
and it would be bad for your health
if Sir Harry so much
as entered your room.
-He accepted the story;
-Yes my lady.
They've certainly come down
to help take your master.
You must get word to him,
at once. He's in deadly danger.
The ship must leave the creek
at next tide.
lt would be more prudent
to wait until nightfall.
l'd thought to go back
and have breakfast with him.
Don't worry. lt will come right.
You will be together again.
Forgive me.
lt had something to do
with being so happy...
l know.
Poor William. You haven't slept,
waiting for me.
-Thank you .
-My lady.
Thank you.
You've grown, you have.
Here you go.
Off you go moppets.
Get along.
Devilishly hot here.
l'm sweating through my shirt.
You don't look so ill.
-l'm very much better.
-l'm glad to hear that.
l expected you at death's door
from what William told me.
l cursed him good for
-What kind of servant is he;
-The best l've ever had.
Well, as long as he pleases you...
Rockingham's here Dona.
l know you left London over him,
but he doesn't bear any grudges.
Why did you bring him down here;
lt was Rock's idea really.
One day he met a cousin
a George Godolphin,
who told him a French pirate
was plundering the county.
So Rock said let's go down
and help the Godolphin's.
How is Godolphin by the way;
-Out of temper when l saw him.
-So l should think.
His brother in law has
lost a ship at sea.
-Do you know Philip Rashleigh;
-Not to speak to.
-Well l've invited him here.
-Why;
We met him in Helston yesterday
in a devil of a temper.
And Godolphin's too.
Why did you invite Rashleigh here;
That was Rockingham's idea as well.
He suggested we all set
a trap for the Frenchman.
When we've caught him, we'll
string him up for a laugh.
You think you'll succeed
where others have failed;
Rock's already thought
of a plan.
Hi Rock.
Here's Dona.
My Lord.
So you've had a fever.
-A messenger for Lord Godolphin.
-What;
A most becoming fever.
You don't appear
delighted to see me;
Why should l;
lt's some weeks since l saw you
and you left in an extraordinary way.
l suppose l did something
to offend you.
l told Harry when l left London
that l wanted to be alone.
We came down on business.
is causing you so much trouble.
-How do you propose doing that;
-We shall see.
-l expect he's back to France.
-l'm afraid not.
Why so;
The vessel was seen only yesterday
making for the English coast.
But the coast of England
goes a long way.
Yes but he leaves most of it
alone it seems, all but
this little bit of Cornwall.
Rashleigh thinks he's even
visited your river.
He must do it at night then,
when l'm in bed.
Possibly he does.
lt'll be amusing to stop
his little game.
How really ideal for a lawbreaker.
Navron is the only big house
in the district.
l almost wish l were
a pirate myself.
The house to be without protection,
the lady as beautiful as you.
-Yes Rockingham;
-l'd be tempted to come here often.
But you're not a pirate.
Simply an unscrupulous, intrusive
person l continue to detest.
What a delightful little speech.
The Cornish air has made you
venomous.
Hey Rock.
A letter from Godolphin.
The hounds are gathering.
We'll have some fun with this.
Did you send an answer;
l said we'd be delighted
to receive the gentlemen for supper.
Whom shall l be delighted
to receive;
Godolphin, Rashleigh, Eustick
and half a dozen others.
After supper we'll all go down
and catch the fellow.
