At Shibden. 579 00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:32,880 Surely, would it not be better 580 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,320 to ask one of the Misses Atkinsons to move in with her at Crow Nest? 581 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,519 If the anxiety is about her being so much on her own? 582 00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:44,159 Miss Walker does everything she can for the Atkinsons. 583 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,280 The last thing she needs is them moving in with her. 584 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,199 No, this is the scheme that's most likely to answer, 585 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,920 and I'm sure she'll discuss it with you all when she's here. 586 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,440 She has nothing to hide. 587 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,920 Quite the opposite. 588 00:38:57,599 --> 00:38:59,599 Did you know, Miss Walker, 589 00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:03,960 that when Miss Walker was in Scotland, Mr. Ainsworth visited her? 590 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,960 You see, I always liked him. 591 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,039 I got your note. 592 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,519 Yes!
