Sur I must have a say in this well yes of course but the point is they're much too valuable anymore to keep so George thought that you might like the paintings are mine I must decide what I'm going to do with them I'm off then I'll see you Thursday thank you danis who's that my new Gardener how can you afford him mother really now please you've got to listen to reason Nancy I'd rather not discuss this just now we just sell the panels then you can keep the Shell Seekers 6 weeks ago you couldn't have cared less what happened to them but things have changed mother you're a wealthy woman now on canvas all right if you sell the paintings you can have a gardener a housekeeper a nurse but you can't do anything until you sell the paintings £100,000 is more than enough for a gardener a house and the money you give away when you're alive is worth twice would you give away dead meaning I should give it to you better us than the government yes and what would you do with it well the children's school fees are due Melanie needs new clothes and George's club fees are late and I George put you up to this didn't he well I'm not paying George's club fees and I'm not sending your children to those expensive boarding schools if you'd been a little less ambitious for yourselves and spent a little more time teaching your children simp Le manners perhaps they'd been a little more happy today mother be fair you show more interest in your russan garden than you're doing me if it's money you need go to Dolly she's been more than generous so far she bought you all the clothes you wanted gave you horses big coming up parties the big white wedding you said you needed fine I couldn't afford those things I tried to help you then but you said that you didn't need my help if you need help now when did you ever help me mother it was always Dolly who was around for me never you you can't believe that it's true I thought I was unwanted until Noel was born then I saw you neglected him as much

letter it's um from one of grandfather's clients about a sketch for the Toro Garden well he most likely made sketches of all his paintings they'd be worth a small fortune if they still exist and what were you going to do with them if they did sneak them out behind my back of course not ma you've got to sell the money you give away while you're alive is worth twice what yes yes I know but why how much do you need just a share of it I mean you've got three children you could unload a certain amount obviously keep a bit for yourself and what would you do with it h commodity broking oh I need a bigger flap for that one that I can work from and then there are certain circles I have to break into i' have to entertain so I'm expected to sell my paintings for your advancement M I can't believe what I'm hearing I could be talking to your father instead of you please you don't give a hoot about me do you about my house my father's paintings they're all that I have left of him no Lawrence is

Penelope keing yes he's expecting you vanela be oh Roy how are you it's been a long time well I've been rather reclusive in the country I was a student of her father's when I first met this woman

where did these come from well I've had themed for years they were hidden in the back of my my wardrobe I'd quite forgotten that I had them hidden well I didn't want Ambrose to find them I mean his

supposed to mean hardworking quiet so single-minded some most of better you see you're the first man I've really spent time with other than my father I mean are your parents still alive yes don't you get on average I suppose why don't you drive was it an accident or something and most girls do they ask as many personal questions as you do some must ask more I never learned to drive no reason in

away and come with me when well right away oh mama no I couldn't the issu is due by by the 15th I'd be in trouble if yes yes of course I I just thought perhaps um I could come in the autumn no I I want to go now well perhaps no could go with me if he drove I'd be there in 3/4 of an hour no I'm sorry don't be no regrets remember no Hello penel Dolly what are you doing here where's no he's picking up the car in the garage I'm taking him out to an early dinner what are you doing here he didn't invite you too did he no I your children keep inviting both of us to the same functions no I I just happen to be in town and I you called me here for a financial discussion he says you refus to sell the paintings well I only hope you know what you're doing darly I'm not here to discuss my finances I'm here you never really discussed them with me in your life have you it's not of my Affair it's just that I feel I'm continually expected to bail Nancy and N out of their financial difficulties whenever their mother you're not expected to do anything of the sort well somebody has to they're helpless my dear perfectly capable of looking after their own finances pendel I cast no aspersions I'm simply saying that in their upbringing you never taught them discipline and responsibility if it hadn't been for me heaven Dolly that's enough I I simply can't sit here and listen to this now what I thought was important is what I was brought up with and that is what I gave my children not money love I love them I still do you were always most irresponsible woman I have ever known For Heaven's Sake you didn't even come to your own husband's funeral oh that's past history I'm not interested no it's not passed it's never passed look at your children if they're unhappy it's because of the selfish Bohemian where you raised them not to mention the thoughtless way you treated their father I never thought you worthy of Ambrose and you proved me right didn't you I loved him you scarcely knew him that was the war daring not me we met in the war we married in the war that was Ambrose missing in France me living alone all those years in Cornwall and after the war after he came back it was you never leaving us alone that led to his deaths and his drunkenness it was your indifference made no it was your constant interference I simply put out with what you had created Dolly I tried to be friends with you after he died I needed a mother but you never approved of me why should I approve of you Ambrose was meant for better than you he might as well have thrown his future the rivers marry you it was his choice to marry me and as for his poor children you stole his children away from me the moment that you had the chance showering them with gifts that's your sort of love I never gave them anything my children are poor it's only because of the empty money you used to win them over penelopee it's a wonder you haven't learned from the mess you made of their father why didn't you stop it because my children are not my possessions they must do what they want see whom they want to see make their own mistakes and they've made plenty haven't they that's not mothering that's neglect it's more of your Bohemian Independence I never neglected them yes you did your own parents' Reckless way of living that's what makes you so irresp respons my parents love me and I won't listen to you saying another word that's what drove Ambrose away you know is that what you think didn't he ever tell you why oh my dear he didn't need to tell me it was perfectly clear it wasn't me daring it was Noel Noel I was pregnant with him and and the last thing that Ambrose wanted was another child so what does he do he runs home to Mom leaving me alone to do what I've been doing all along raising his children without him now look at the boy he's becoming like his father empty shallow wallowing in the same self centered shallowness that that killed Ambrose and that's your doing not mine but love can't hold out against the likes of you no no a [Music] for are you all right yes it's just bad dreams what about my mother and me she had something some feeling for Life a gift for mothering but she died before she could pass on the secret to me I'm 63 years old Antonia and my children are grown and I'm still so watch in would you would you like to come with me to Cornwell I've asked the others and they're all too busy I'd love to danus too I want you both I'm not sure if he will he's so private you get so far with him and it's like a gate slamming in your face well we can ask him he can only say no I don't drive Penelope and I will do the driving we'd like your company that's all it's just for the weekend we'll have you back by Monday I'll think about it why do you have to have such a chip on your shoulder about everything hasn't it occurred to you that she actually wants you on this trip do it for her you're going a you that's enough she asked us both [Music] my goodness I know of course it's changed a lot but in many ways it hasn't I mean looking at it from up here it could be half a century ago I've come here so often in my dreams I can't believe it's real same buildings the same [Music] streets somewhere inside I I still feel like a little girl [Music] but this is terribly extravagant yes it was meant to be [Music] for for [Music]

don't believe it I simply don't believe it me neither but you you haven't changed oh of course I have [Music] [Laughter] and then what did you do after you left the service well after the war I uh met someone went into my father's business and uh made a life uneventful sort of stuff and you still with your husband no and how about little Nancy I bet you're a grandmother by now twice why did you come back pen I don't know to find something something that I once had and since lost something Elemental something that I still have but I I can't remember where I put it you know what I'm almost twice as old as Sophie when she died I could be her mother now isn't it astonishing h and you I retired my son thought it' be a good idea for me to have a vacation a group of us old Soldiers came back looking for memories but for me not so much sights but I felt so much here I came back to remember the feelings what went wrong Richard what became of my life and the babies that I bore and loved I can bear anything for myself but to see my children so lost is unendurable it's not your fault isn't it I woke up in that hospital bed and I thought I can't leave them like this they're so miserable I mean there were times in my life well well with Sophie and with ls and you when everything was so bright but my children they they had none of that joy in their lives Sophie had it and Lawrence too why is it that I can't pass it on to them well perhaps it's not something you can pass on but why not why is it that all I have to pass on to their of these I mean look look look at these Ambrose and me never really together Sophie gone before her time leaving my life so empty their lives empty too I was no Sophie to them nothing very precious or valuable here I dreamed of the Exotic and all I'm left with is is the common collection of the seaside tourist and that is what I have given my children you could have given them us no it wasn't possible it was your choice not mine no it never could have been possible I only had Nancy then Dolly would have taken her away from me it was never an option for me to give her up for you we met in such difficult times Richard the war deprivation life was a day-to-day circumstances we had so little choice but my children grew up in relative abundance and yet the choices that they made had brought them nothing but misery I love them so much and everything that I have done has been for them and yet now it seems that none of us has anything they're grown now let them go it's not what they want well forget what they want the greatest gift you could give them is your own [Music] happiness you know something coming back I've been struck by the the peace and the color the gold of the sand the green grass the Seas blue I feel a bit like Lawrence and you know what was so remarkable about Lawrence was that he took responsibility for his own life he surrounded himself with his colors his work and the people he loved he was free P because the choices he made were happy ones for himself that was his art and I'd forgotten how much I loved you P [Music] tense it's all in the past today Sophie the war you but you can't stop us can you we're like the sea we just keep roaring on don't [Music] we hello my darling I'm sorry I kept you so long I met a friend did you have a nice day we wanted around the village danis and I it's beautiful here and where is he sulking we had an argument he's so Sullen it's as if he can't love anything I told him that caring for him was like loving a block of ice may I join you yes I used to sit here when I was a little girl counting the boats coming in from the night's work wondering which fish from which boat I was going to have for dinner hard work seeing into the future what about you

but it's not a cure can't drive I'm still afraid to have children although I know it's not inherited my greatest fear is to be lost in the arms of the woman I love my mother's ashamed of me my father also and in spite of all my scientific understanding of it I'm ashamed of it too Antonia isn't ashamed of it she loves you danis don't turn away from somebody who loves you so unconditionally don't deny yourself the possibility of happiness you deserve it we all do I don't expect you to love me I don't expect anyone to love me knowing this you might say you love me now wait you see me when it

then I've given it away oh good lord how could you you must be joking to whom to a gallery in C and what in Heaven's name induced you to do such a thing do you know what that picture's worth well I know what it's worth to me I mean you've all lived with it for years and scarcely looked at it you told us you couldn't live without it yes and now I want to share it completely out of her mind you seem to forget George that the painting was mine I mean it wasn't yours it never belonged to you you can't afford it mother you've little enough as it is I promised the panels to a private collector well 300 odd thousand and uh the sketches will go on sale in January the sketches you mean you knew about them all along well I hadn't thought about them for years I'd been hiding them from your father and what about us what about your family your grandchildren how can you stand there and happily give away their inheritance when you know very well that it's the only thing that weend you can have the money I'll take what I need from the panels the rest is yours all three of you divided As You Wish mother but I don't want to be treated as an invalid anymore if I fall down the stairs and land in a heap for weeks that's my business it's not yours we only worry about you cuz we love you what I've done you've been urging me to do for months so I spent a little money on myself and return to Cornwell is that what's bothering you I invited you all oh good reasons Mama excuses but I think it's just as well that you didn't come because I learned something I may not have been the best wife or the best mother but I gave you all that I had to give and now it's my turn to make my own decisions to live my life as I see fit I know all of your your virtues and your shortcomings and I love you all very much but I'm not responsible for you anymore well I thought we might have some lunch what about the sketches who gets the money from those I'm giving it to Antonia oh mother she's not even one of the family well she is to me and if I can get her and danis on their feet well that's the very want squander every penny on any stray dog that comes along don't be condescending to me George for the very first time in my life I've experienced the joy of giving to someone other than my children and it's made all the sweeter because of the grace and gratitude with which it has been received oh and that's what you want from us is it endless thanks I want you to take your money and be happy I wish the very best for you Noah but what you do with my love is as much up to you as what you do with my money you have so much going for you why do you always want more I want what I deserve you want what your father wanted if I seem wary of you and your schemes it's only because I live through it all with him and that's why you dislike me so much I don't dislike you I love you odd way of showing it I am not my father my life has very little to do with him or [Music] you you always succeeded in making me feel feel that I'd failed you I think you have well well I'll see you later Nancy George would you like a lift toiv you no I'll take the train tomorrow Noel please bye ma ncy I think we best be going too I think you're foolish Penelope to say the least likewise George Nancy I'll be waiting in the car I think you're terrible no she's not she's generous to fault and as far as I'm concerned we should be more than content with what she's given us it's easy for you to defend her she's always loved you oh don't start that again she never tries to understand me perhaps because you never try to understand anyone else she's always had time for you she's never given me anything she gave us all a magic childhood and a terrific start in life you can't blame her for your life Nancy that isn't her fault you did that to yourself who are you to say that to me the beautiful perfect delivia perfect life perfect looks you've never had to make a difficult decision in your life you think I'm so different from you you think my life's so perfect you think that I don't want a husband and family too you were the perfect one growing up you were the pretty one Dolly's favorite I had to work for what I have so I made different choices than you and some of them were right and some were wrong but they were my choices and at least I don't blame them on my mother Olivia that's enough Nancy's right she has good reason for feeling about me the way she does I wasn't the best mother to you at first I was very young and I tried to cope in the very best way that I knew how but it wasn't enough and I'm very sorry but you know Nancy there was a time when you and I were alone together never that remember playing on the sand all day sleeping together at night we'd walk out at dusk and we'd watch the waves crashing against the Rocks [Music] below her grandfather was there and there was another man used to take you down to the Sea on his shoulders Daddy no his name was Richard remember used to give you chocolate out of his rations sand castles you to build sand [Music] castles we were very happy together then I let him go I gave him up for you because I loved you my darling I still [Music] nervous yes no I don't know danis is petrified when he saw me this morning he turned wedding white I'm so happy George agreed to give me away there you look beautiful except for one thing they belong with a [Music] bride I love you my darling [Music] my daughter [Music] dearly beloved we are gathered here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony which is an honorable estate instituted of God himself signifying unto us the mystical Union that is between Christ and his church which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and first miracle that he wrought in Kaa of Galilee and is commended in holy Rich to be honorable among all men [Music] see [Music] ch [Music] [Music] h
