Nothing is over since the complete happens,

it's just you and Helmar again.

Well next?

Five hundred.

Care to make a thousand?

Certainly.

There you are.

What you've got to say to that, ah?

Good boy you run a hand at last.

Oh he's won again, congratulations Nick.

Your deal, Sir William

I'm afraid gentlemen

I must ask you to be excused I find the

stakes getting much too high for me.

Why is it always the same

with you rich men?

Because we prefer to remain rich

Thomas?

Go and tell Mr Hatton the

last dance has begun.

- Our guests will be leaving in a moment.

- Very good, Madam.

Have you seen Master Barney anywhere?

He went into the garden,

Madam, with Miss Helmar.

If you see him tell him I want him

I will, Madam.

This is the loveliest ball

I have ever been to

I am glad.

You don't look it.

Why are you serious, darling?

Because there won't be any more

evenings like this at Moderlaine.

My father goes on gambling.

Oh that they all do it my

father is just as bad.

Maybe but Moderlaine doesn't belong to him

I wish it did. It's a wonderful

house I love it.

Then you can guess how I feel about it

I was born here so were all

the Hattons right back to 1394.

Were those other Hattons

as good looking too?

As it seems very foolish to you

to love a house so much.

Oh no

Barney

- I understand how you feel only.

- Only what?

I wish I were the house.

I had the sense for the money to be

coming in this direction.

Now what is it?

If you please, Sir, Mrs Hatton

wants you to know

that the dancing is over

and the guests are leaving.

Oh that's hardly concerns us, does it?

Oh, Jimmy, it concerns me, they tell me

some wives can be kept waiting

mine isn't one of them.

Nor is mine

Charles, first time I've known

you to break up a game.

This game brook me up an hour ago.

Heaven knows I haven't gotten

any of your money.

Somebody has.

It would be a lucky tenant who

gets his roof repaired this year.

Let their roofs rot.

Rain's healthy make them grow.

- Good Night, gentlemen.

- Good Bye.

Excuse me, Sir, Mrs Helmar

asked me to tell you

that she and Miss Helmar are

ready to go home, Sir.

Well, what's stopping them?

They can't expect me to leave while

he got some of my money.

Tell them to take themselves home

I'll follow and excuse me.

Very good, Sir.

Well, it's you and me and less now, Nick.

What shall it be?

Let's give the dice a turn.

Yes, by all means.

They can't behave worse than the cards.

If you please, Madam, Mr Helmar

sends his compliments

and asks if you and Miss Helmar

- will be good enough to.

- Go home by ourselves?

- Is that it?

- Yes, Madam.

Thank you

I lay the message he sent

wasn't as polite as that either

I'm so sorry, My Dear,

stay the night with us

I wouldn't dream of it.

As a matter off fact I'm only too

happy to miss my Lord and master

after an all-night sitting, Thank You.

Come along Dilys.

Come and see us soon Barney

I will. Good Night.

Good Night.

- Good Night.

- Good Night, Thank you.

Oh if Mr Helmar is ruined in the morning.

Don't bother to send him home.

Just give him a job in the stables

I will - Good Night-Good Night.

I wish he wouldn't do it,

he can't afford to lose

night after night like this.

You know father, you might as well

wish he was somebody else.

At times like this I

I will often do..

What is it matter? What's happened?

Mother he hasn't taken your jewellery?

He can't do that.

He's done it.

- Good Morning, Barney, what do you want?

- I want my mother's jewellery.

Oh, I'm afraid your mother

no longer possess any jewellery.

This belongs to Nick.

Was in a way my dear

wife is going to be glad

as since I am going to be.

Father you're drunk you don't

know what you are doing.

On the contrary I know perfectly well.

I am in the process of losing 18,000 pounds

my gold snuff box, my carriage

and four hunters

and your mother's jewellery to

my old friend, Nick Helmar

I don't think but I've one

thing left to stake

and I'm going to stake that too.

What's that?

This house - Moderlaine!

Precisely.

Sir Edward, can you please stop him.

It is no good, my boy, I've

been trying all night.

But father supposing you lose?

I should have lost in a

very sporting wager.

Yes but what..

My dear fellow, don't interrupt in a

friendly game between gentlemen.

Moderlaine against everything

you've won, agreed?

Father!

Why not? We can't possibly

afford to stay here now.

The whole place as it stands,

pictures, furniture, everything?

Leave me the clothes I stand up in

I don't want your clothes,

it wouldn't fit me.

Green farm is my wife's.

All right, we'll leave Green farm out of it

Chris, for heavens sake think

what you are doing!

Shall we begin? Yours first, Nick.

As you please.

Your witness son.

He is drunk, Mr Helmar

you got no right to..

Now may the devil help me.

Damnation take these, your dice.

All right Chris, you

can't help beating that.

You might as well, just take the.

Thank you, Nick, the

most entertaining game.

The house is yours.

Good Night.

I hope you come and visit us occasionally.

You're not going to hold my father to that.

Don't let it upset you, son

I'll give you a chance to win it back.

Join me a glass of wine.

Will you?

Pick up, Barney, there is no

groom coming to hold the horse.

Here we are. This is our new mansion.

Oh Chris, I never realized.

Can't be truer my dear.

So miserably small.

All the better if you have to

look after it single handed.

Meggie.

I am sure I do not know why you are crying.

Meggie, and I thought you'd run away.

You ought to have stayed at Moderlaine.

Dear, Mum, you know me better than that.

I don't belong to Moderlaine,

I belong to you.

You'd better get the rest of the stuff

out of the cart, Barney

and put the horse and cart away.

Oh, and feed the horse.

Oh, go on my dear boy,

it's great deal to be done.

How is Green Farm these days?

What's that got to do with you?

Nothing wrong with Green farm is there?

And a roof over your head

and food in your belly.

There's lots these days has neither

I know that.

Of course you only been

had it for six months.

Reckon it takes ten years to make a farmer.

How long does it take you to shoe a horse?

Depends whom I'm doing it for.

For a farmers boy I take my time.

What took you so long?

I'd wait to be served, Father.

- Then they just for me they make.

- Yes, Father

Lindy.

Go on and get me another.

This time don't make ordeal about it.

No, Father.

Well here he is, get on.

I will say he's not what you're used to.

He is not mine, he's my father's, come on.

Dear boy.

I don't do this for nothing.

All right, I forgot.

It's only gentry that can afford forget.

You remember that, Master Barney,

your Green farm.

Come on boy, come on.

No you don't Jim.

You know my role, Master Barney.

- Why?

- We want her.

- What has she done?

- Really in drab she should be.

She's got a spell on you like at night.

Her mother is a gypsy witch.
