(soft, bright music) - Honour, I've come home to look after my grandfather, not chase after young fellows.
(soft, upbeat music) Has nobody seen to you, young man?
- Oh, I'm waiting for Squire Western, Miss.
- He plans to hunt tomorrow, so I expect he's in the stables.
Let me call somebody.
What is your name?
- Tom Jones.
Miss Weston.
- Well, I'm sure I haven't changed nearly half as much as you have, Mr. Jones.

- I must have picked them for you.
Well, though I didn't know it obviously at the time.
Just baby's breath and heartsease.
Um.
(soft, upbeat music)
