How could George call?

We haven't got a phone.

I know we haven't

got a phone, Cathryn.

I live here, too, you know.

I mean, how did he get through?

He got through...

...by calling Andy at the bar...

...and Andy took down

the message...

Andy gave the message

to Charlie...

Charlie got in the Land Rover...

...and drove out here

and gave me the message...

...and I gave Charlie a fiver.

Any more questions?

So, I get to stay here

all on my own.

That's absolutely great.

That's terrific.

Cathryn.

Cathryn, wait a minute.

Cathryn, go upstairs,

pack your things...

I don't want to go.

I want to finish my book.

Better yet, I'll call George...

...and he'll just have to

change his plans.

We haven't got a phone.

Listen, honey. I really would

worry if I left you here.

Yeah? Since when?

All right. Ok, Cathryn, you win.

Hugh? Hugh, I'm sorry.

- No, no. Really...

- Hugh, I'm sorry.

I really want you to...

I want you to go.

- Promise?

- Yeah, promise.

I've got plenty

to do here, really.

- Really?

- Yep.

So listen, darling. I'll try

to wrap it up in one day.

I'll be back by Friday,

no matter what.

So you meet the 7:45, all right?

What if you get

through by tomorrow?

If I get through

by tomorrow...

I'll give old Charlie

another fiver...

...he'll kick over the engine,

and he'll drive me home.

Hey, what's the difference

between a rabbit?

What's the difference

between a rabbit?

Nothing. One is both the same.

I love you.

- Bye.

- Bye-bye.

Come on out.

How'd you get rid of him?

I just thought him away

like I thought you here.

Why did you

disappear this afternoon?

I was ready for you.

I'm here.

That's all that matters.

Do you have to be so rough?

Aren't you going

to get undressed, too?

Hero...

Hero lay amongst his chalk

and paints.

Over him, the finished canvas...

...of the Goddess of Plenty

smiled down.

He smiled, too, in his dream.

Long legs carried him

over valleys...

...and streams and hills.

And then far ahead,

upon a plain...

...he seemed to see a burning,

fiery bush.

On and on, he ran towards it...

...till his face tingled

with its warmth...

...and as he reached it,

Heavenly rose out of the flames.

"What are you chasing here?"

"My heart's desire," he said.

"Run on.

"Run on and find it"...

Heavenly cried.

Gave my love a cherry...

That had no stone...

I gave my love

a chicken...

That had no bone...

I told my love a story...

That had no end...

I gave my love...

- Good morning. Hi.

- Well, good morning.

Weren't you afraid

of being caught in the rain?

No. I don't think

it's going to rain.

Besides, Archie

needs his exercise.

I'm just making some coffee.

Would you like some?

Thank you, no.

I must keep moving.

I try to walk at least

3 hours every day.

Archie.

He seems to smell your dog.

I don't have a dog.

Oh. Then you're

just a nosey parker, Archie.

Archie, come on.

Come here. Come on, Archie.

Good boy. Good-bye!

Why, you horrid...

You naughty dog! Go on!

Out, out, out,

you dirty, dirty dog!

Go on. Go. Go. Go!

Shoo! Shoo!

Hi!

Hello.

Did you walk all the way

from the house?

Of course.

That must be about 5 or 6 miles.

That's not far.

Does your father

know you're here?

No. He wasn't in

this morning.

- He wasn't?

- No. He was gone when I got up.

I thought

maybe he might be here.

Here? Why should he be here?

I don't know.

I just thought he might.

But you saw him last night?

Want to go for a walk?

You did see him last night?

Answer me!

Yes.

What time last night?

After midnight, I suppose.

He woke me up when he came in.

He was drunk. Why?

Is something wrong?

No. L...

I was driving my husband

to the station last night...

...and they said in the village...

...that some man

had driven off a cliff...

...and I just thought...

...for a moment...

I'm sorry I frightened you.

Do you want to come in

and have some tea?

I wonder who the man was.

I probably got it wrong.

I'll put a kettle on.

Cathryn,

can I ask you something?

When you were my age,

did you look like me?

A bit, but I was prettier.

Why?

Because I think

when I grow up...

I'm going to be exactly

like you.

Don't you get lonely

up at the house...

without your husband?

No. No, I'm quite used to it.

I used to spend a lot

of time there as a child...

...and my grandfather

wasn't always there.

Sometimes I spent days

and days on my own.

What did you do?

Oh, I used to go for walks...

...tell myself stories...

...play in the woods.

When I'm alone, I think.

I do that.

That's when I really get afraid.

Did you ever ask your father

about having your friend up?

- Jenny?

- I don't need to.

You're my friend now.

Yes, I am.

But what would you do

if I went away?

Tell myself stories...

...play in the woods.

I'd make up a friend.

Hello!

You bring the ketchup?

Look, Dad is cooking steaks.

You have to come in. Please?

No. Really, I can't.

I have something

very important to do tonight.

But he's going to be mad.

Bye, Susannah.

Bye, Cathryn.

- Hey, where is she going?

- She didn't want steak.

Cathryn!

I got steaks.

I got Valpolicella, too.

Hey, where are you going?

What am I going to do...

Jesus Christ, Cathryn.

Let me in, Cathryn!

What's the matter with you?

Why didn't you stop?

Why didn't you pick me up?

I was afraid.

I wasn't sure it was you.

Well, for Christ's sake,

open the door and let me in.

For Christ's sake, Cathryn.

It's me!

I know it's you...

...but I found out

I can get rid of you...

...just like I got rid

of Rene and Marcel.

I can get you

out of my mind forever.

Cathryn! What are you

talking about, Cathryn?

I love you!

You don't.

Hello? Yes, it's me.

Yes, I'm fine. No. I'm fine.

Everything's fine.

Listen, I'm driving in tonight.

I'll be about 31/2 hours.

Wait up for me, will you?

No, no, I'm fine.

I'll let you know...

everything's worked out.

I love you... won't be long.

Cathryn.

Cathryn.

Cathryn.

Cathryn.

Cathryn.

Hugh!

Hugh?

Hugh!

One day, she came out

of the forest.

Oh, the hills

that fell away at her feet...

...the sky...

...a whole blue sky

like a mat of cornflowers...

...space and stillness and silence.

The sea.

And then her arms dried,

and her mouth...

...crystals in the sun.

"Spunshon..."

"Had she seen it before?"

She said.

Una did not remember.

She turned

back to the land again...

...and saw on the beach

through her tears...

...a unicorn pawing

in the moonlight.

You see, Cathryn?

It was easy.

Go away!

I killed you!

Not me, Cathryn.

Not me.

"Unicorn," Willow whispered...

...and she stretched up

her arms to it...

while tears

streamed down her cheeks.

"Unicorn, good-bye,

and thank you.

"Thank you for being mine."

And the unicorn dipped its horn

till it touched the snow...

...and watched them gallop...

...away, away...

...down the lane, out of sight...

...and it turned and ran swiftly

into the forest.

And then Ancient picked up

a nice, fat volume...
