brothers,
I will rest happy
I'm thinking
of the boy's future
It was different
in our day...
there was good money
and fair play for all
But Huw
is a scholar
Why take brains
down a coal mine?
I would rather, sir
All right
Decide for yourself,
but blame yourself
if you are wrong
The colliery, sir
All right
The colliery it is
Good
Where are you going?
To get drunk!
Bron?
I am going down the colliery
Oh, the colliery, is it?
The old coal will be
shaking in its seam
Bron
Bro... Bron, would you have me
to live in this house
and have my wages?
Your home
is with your mother
It was she
who sent me
From pity?
No, from sense
If you put clothes
night and morning,
let them be my clothes
Good old man
Yes or no, Bron?
Yes
Goo... Good
Good I will get my bed
[Singing in Welsh]
[Whistle Blowing]
[Whistle Blowing]
So it is a man now, is it?
And could I carry such a man?
Lanto!
Ha ha ha!
5 shillings
7 and tuppence
Move along!
Thanks
3 shillings
Ј102
Ј210
Discharged, Morgan
Move along
Ј210
Discharged, Morgan
Ј110
And so it came
to lanto and Davy...
the best workers
in the colliery
but too highly paid
to compete with poorer,
more desperate men
[Bell Ringing]
Will you read us
a chapter, Father?
Yes, my son
Ahem
"The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures
He leadeth me
beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness
for his name's sake
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me
Thou preparest a table
before me
in the presence
of mine enemies
Thou anointest
my head with oil"
[Door Closes]
"My cup runneth over"
One line
to Owen and Gwil,
down to Cape Town
to Angharad,
over here to Canada
to lanto,
and down here to Davy
in New Zealand
And you are
the star,
shining on them
from this house
all the way across the continents
and the oceans
All the way?
How far am I shining
if you can put it all
on a little
piece of paper?
Aw, now, a map it is,
my old beauty
A picture of the world
to show you where they are
I know
where they are
without any old maps
or scratches
or spiders or pencils
They are
in the house
Then Angharad
came back from Cape Town
without her husband
She did not come to us
but stayed at the big
Evans house...
her house
on top of the hill
To see Mrs. Evans, please
Who is it?
Huw Morgan
Her brother, is it?
Come in
Why, Huw
Mrs. Nicholas,
will you bring some tea, please?
Sit down, Huw
There is grown you are
and changed
You, too
I look ill and ought
to take care of myself
Everyone coming
in the house says so,
so you say it, too,
and let us finish with it
But tell me
all the news
How is...
How are all the boys and girls
we used to know?
Well
the Jenkins girls
are married
Maldwyn Hughes
has gone to be a doctor
Rhys Howell
is in a solicitor's office,
and he's sending home
10 shillings a week
and Mr. Gruffydd
is still first up and last to bed
How is he, Huw?
Not as he was
Is he ill?
Inside... in his eyes
and in his voice
Like you
Please go home, Huw
I'm sorry
Now then, Mrs. Evans
Tea, is it?
Leave it,
Mrs. Nicholas
I will pour
Well!
I always did the pouring
for Mr. Lestyn's poor mother
I will pour
Yes, Mrs. Evans
A new mistress
is like new sheets...
yes, a little bit stiff
but washings to come
Why do you
have her here?
37 years
with the family,
or so she tells me
60 times a day
Have some tea, Huw
You don't
want me to go?
No No, Huw
I'm sorry
for being nasty
Please stay
Oh, Huw!
I tried to tell mother,
but, oh...
[Sobbing]
Not for me to say
Only the housekeeper I am
37 years in the family
and living to curse the day!
It will not
surprise me any day
to see the old master
rise white from his grave
'Tis only the gravestone
is holding him down,
I will swear
Then what
