Emily

Em. Em.

- Get her to the sofa. - It's okay.

Charlotte.

Anne, find papa.

Oh, it's just a bad cold.

They shouldn't be too long, my love.

- 'What is it, my love?' - Hmm, there's nothing.

'There is something.'

'How did you write it?'

'How did you write Weathering Heights?'

I took my pen and put it to paper.

There's something more.

Something you're hiding from me.

Why is it so hard for you to believe

that your sister could write something of merit?

'It's an ugly book.'

'It's bias and ugly'

'and full of selfish people who only care for themselves.'

Good.

There is something.

Captain Sneaky.

Captain?

Soldiers are waiting for your command, ma'am.

Thank you, Captain.

Captain.

Yes, ma'am?

I've been thinking of what you said, sir.

And what did you think, ma'am?

You are..

Measurably important to this kingdom, sir.

Thank you, ma'am.

What I meant to say before is..

You're more important to me than anyone.

And..

She's here.

I'll take me leave, captain.

- Charlotte. You're back. - Anne.

- Father. - Welcome home.

Oh, Branwell.

Charlotte, my girl, we missed you.

I missed you all so much.

Wee congratulations, young doll.

'Yes, they want me to stay on as a teacher after I graduate.'

- 'Oh, wonderful.' - 'Wonderful, Charlotte.'

'Charlotte, that's great.'

'I wouldn't expect anything less.

'I'm so proud.'

'I wish I was going.'

- 'Emily's turn first.' - 'Where is that girl?'

- 'Daydreaming no doubt.' - 'Em!'

There she is.

There's my scruff.

Em, Charlotte's been offered a teaching position

at the school after she graduates.

Where have you been, Emily Jane?

Working on my French, papa.

Mm. Come and help your aunt.

Your sister'll be hungry.

'Just excited to see her.'

Is that you in there?

- It's me. - You look different.

I'm just the same.

Come here.

And then they traveled on the wings of the dragon

and they find Captain Sneaky.

Captain Sneaky?

Mm. It's just for fun.

I'm writing other things.

We both are, Anne and I.

More serious affair.

What have you been writing?

I haven't had time to write anything.

But you must write.

Are you looking forward to starting at school?

- Yes. - They're all dying to meet you.

Is it nice having friends outside the family?

Of course.

You've been working on your French, Oui?

Oui.

How is it progressing?

Are you finding it easier?

I'm much improved,

but I find conjugating some of the more complex nouns a little difficult.

Nouns?

The verbs!

I meant verbs.

I read Moliere's "Misanthrope".

Oh, it's wonderful isn't it?

No, I found his bottom terrible.

What?

- You said "His bottom." - What?

'Emily.'

I meant the end.

The ending of it.

I know you did.

I think Captain Sneaky should return to battle

before the dawn.

No, Esmeral's waiting for him, remember?

He must journey far across the desert and into the...

You mustn't talk that way.

- What way? - At the school..

'You won't, will you, Emily Jane?'

- It's just a story. - It'll draw attention.

'It's strange.'

'And from the wrath of the land'

for the great day of His wrath hath come..

And who shall be able to stand?

'Amen.'

Amen.

'And now, brethren'

'it's my duty to introduce to you today'

'our new curate Mr. William Weightman.'

'He's going to assist me in this great wager against sin.'

'I'd like to ask Mr. Weightman, uh'

'graduate of Oxford University no less, say a few words.'

'Thank you, Reverent Bronte, for your very kind words.'

Brethren, it rained my entire journey up here.

It rained and it rained

and it rained and I thought..

"Where in God's name have I landed?"

'And as it continued to rain'

'I began to think about what I might say'

at my new, slightly damp congregation.

And it occurred to me to talk about the rain.

'Because generally I-I do love it.'

To walk in it..

The feel of it, the smell of it, and..

Especially, especially if you lie awake at night

and listen to it.

There's nothing quite like that.

'And often, when..'

'...I'm listening to the rain in my bed late at night'

'I am in despair about, about something.'

'What if I was to think..'

'...we, all the people of Howarth'

'at that very moment'

'are in their beds.'

'And they too are listening to the rain'

'and they too are lonely and sad and afraid.'

'And suddenly I don't feel I'm alone anymore.'

God is in the rain.

And God is in us.

'But how can we be alone..'

'...when we're all listen to the rain together.'

'Let us pray.'

What are you going to give them? There's nothing left but bread.

- Did you hear him? - Yes, the Weightman.

- Wasn't he... - Insufferable.

Did you hear what Reverent Miller said?

Meaning of life in a cup of tea.

What about Weightman's? Um..

Yeah, it was alright.

He speaks with such poetry.

- Such truth. - Which any man can speak.

What I want to know is can he actually do...

'Do what?'

Ah..

An empty plate.

Sorry, I don't think we've been properly introduced.

Ah, Mr. William Weightman.

Do any of you actually speak English?

I do.

'I mean..'

'This is Emily, Anne, and Charlotte.'

'I'm Charlotte.'

'God bless you all.'

Your sermon was very...

'Oh, I, was it too much?'

I, uh..

Actually, I, what I thought halfway through, I, uh..

I planned to be a lot more eloquent.

But, uh, when you get up there you just..

'Nature is always an inspiration.'

'Yes, nature was wonderful.'

Thank you. Thank you.

Though, Jove, he's very dramatic..

'...in any way for joke.'

'The rain was a good choice.'

'Thank you.'

I do wonder though.

How does God squeeze himself into all that rain?

Won't he get wet?

- Please, the humanities? - Yes.

- The poetry, painting, music. - 'Exactly... '

These are the very air that our society breathes

rather than destroy us, Reverend Miller.

Oh, here they are.

I return home to find my poor father

overrun with the entire clergy of Yorkshire

'and not a pot of tea to be seen.'

And my sisters holding back the new curate in the kitchen.

Branwell Bronte. How do you do, sir?

William Weightman.

Your brother has been accepted

into the Royal Academy of Arts, girls, eh.

- 'Congratulations.' - Thank you. Thank you.

- 'That was wonderful.' - 'Well done.'

She's asking papa if she might have a friend

come stay in the spring.

A friend?
