Episode 2

Queenie:
When I was a girl, all I saw was the purpose of it.
Now, there ain't no purpose
So, all I see is the beauty of it.
==========

Ruby:
I cannot bear it one more day.
I must divest myself.
I have broken his heart into a thousand little pieces.
I wanted...to be grateful, but I would find fault where there was none,
punish him with stinging looks, cut him off for days.

Dorcas:
But there must have been a reason. If you missed your home.
Perhaps if you had come for a visit?

Ruby:
No, I knew that if I came back here at all I would not have returned. And so I felt trapped. I saw his face, crushed by every blow I inflicted upon him, and it made me shrink from him all the more.

Dorcas:
You cannot make yourself love someone.

Ruby:
I did want to love him.

Dorcas:
Perhaps your behaviour towards Mr Dallas was because you could not bear to admit it even to yourself.

Ruby:
Miss Lane. There are times when I feel you know me better than I know myself. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to...

Dorcas: To meddle?

(LAUGHS)

Dorcas:
And I cannot begin to tell you how you have helped me, Miss Ruby.
Why not open the letter?

Ruby:
I cannot face his suffering.

Dorcas:
But you already torment yourself with it every day. Isn't it time you let him have his day?

Ruby:
Mmm. I came home because I so longed for the comfort I know best. I will open it with my sister.

Dorcas:
Of course.

Episode 4

Gabriel:
I was born in a foundry. My mother always said I was born with something of a furnace in me. I burn so hot. I do not seem able to live moderately. It seems I cannot live without love. And if I cannot love someone, I must love something. My work. And I love it to the exclusion of all else. Just as I have always loved.

Dorcas:
I do not think that is love, Gabriel. It is passion, yes, but it is not love.
Not as I understand it. Love is not a selfish need. It is not a hunger that must be fed. Love should not exclude. It should make our lives broader. Our hearts wider, surely. What kind of love is it that would lock us away? Remove us from those around us. What kind of life is it to be alone?
==========

Gabriel:
For so long, the world held no interest for me and I didn't even know it. But here, now, I find delight in the smallest things.
You have brought me back to life.
I did not mean to presume upon you, Miss Lane.
I merely forgot myself in the great pleasure of living here.
Are we friends again?

Dorcas:
Of course.

Episode 5
Daniel:
Mrs Brown, are you happy with this?
Would you like to play, even in the rain?
Play as a woman.

Margaret:
Yes.
==========
LAURA: Sometimes a woman may try to be just like a man.
Men and women, we each have our own weaknesses, strengths, and if we dare to admit it, similarities.
It is only by making mistakes and hurting one another, that we learn the greatest of human joys, forgiving and being forgiven.

Episode 6
Dorcas:
I have been considering what it all means.
This time feels like a crossroads.
I could not let this moment pass.

Gabriel:
Dorcas...

Dorcas:
Please, let me finish.
I have always shied away from love.
I dare not venture there, because I knew it would change everything.
I wanted so much to hold on to what I have, because it is what I know. It is safe.
When I look into your eyes, Gabriel, I want to change everything.

Gabriel:
I've seen how you look at me sometimes.And I find myself looking at you.
I'm glad you spoke your heart, Dorcas.
You have the courage that I could not find, (SIGHS) Because it allows us
to close off this path.
You are without doubt a most beautiful woman. You will make a wonderful companion for some man. I will give my life to my work, because...

Dorcas:
Because that is safe?
I am not Liza. (INHALES)
I will not do to you...
Hearts can mend.

Gabriel:
But not mine.
Perhaps it would be best if I move on.

Dorcas:
Yes.
I think it would.
I would be grateful if you could leave by the end of tomorrow.
==========

Daniel:
I knew it was you I should come to, Miss Lane.
I have never known anyone who understands people as you do.

Dorcas:
Yes.
I seem to have a gift for facilitating other people's lives.
==========
Gabriel:
My circumstances have changed. I have a new business.

Queenie:
Then you're blessed indeed, sir. More than good fortune itself, I wish you the willingness to enjoy your benefits.

Gabriel:
What do you mean?

Queenie:
I mean what I say.
Ain't no use in being on top of the world unless it fills you with peace and gratitude.

Gabriel:
I have found that business and achievement, if you work at it, they won't let you down. I have all that I want.

Queenie:
For a man that has all that he wants, you're mighty prickly, Mr Cochrane.

Gabriel:
And you're too presumptuous, Mrs Turrill.

Queenie:
I'm no more than a beekeeping wife, sir, and I ain't never had business and achievements, so I can't speak for their comforts.
But I do have something you don't have. I've lived a whole life and that gives you something to pass on.
What matters is people.You can't look into the eyes of your machine, sir, and see its soul.
Your neighbours. Your family. Someone to love.
As you get older, the thing you treasure above all else is belonging.
If, God willing, you live as long as I have, sir, you'll see that people need people. Just the way God made us.
And if we fight it and deny it, well, we tend to get mighty prickly.

Gabriel:
The courage to stand still...
==========
846
(BELL CLANGING)

Dorcas:
Gabriel, what on earth are you doing?
You'll wake the whole neighbourhood.

Gabriel:
When I look into your eyes, I want to change everything.

Dorcas:
Do you suppose you can simply come back here and beckon me, as though my life is no more than waiting for you?

Gabriel:
I don't think you'll ever lose your independence, will you?
And I am glad of it.
What I've come to face up to is that I want to love and be loved by you.

Dorcas:
I should warn you I'm far from perfect.
I have many, many weaknesses.
