( female narrator ) ONCE UPON A TIME THERE LIVED AN OLD MAN
WITH HIS THREE DAUGHTERS.
HIS WIFE HAD DIED
AND NOW, THE TWO ELDER GIRLS WISHED TO BE MARRIED.
JULIA, MY ELDEST,
TELL ME, NOW I'M ABOUT TO LOSE YOU,
HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND CHERISH ME ?
FATHER, YOU HAVE FILLED MY HEART
EVER SINCE I FIRST DREW BREATH.
I LOVE YOU AS I LOVE MY LIFE.
YOU SHALL HAVE LAND AND GOLD TO BRING TO YOUR MARRIAGE.
NOW, MARIA,
HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME ?
FATHER, YOU HAVE GIVEN ME EVERYTHING THAT I COULD DESIR.
I LOVE YOU BETTER THAN ALL THE WORLD.
YOU SHALL HAVE AS RICH A SHARE AS YOUR SISTER.
NOW...
OH, MY LITTLE ONE,
SOON TO BE MY ONLY COMFORT IN MY OLD AGE,
( laughing )
WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO EQUAL YOUR SISTERS' LOVE ?
FATHER, I LOVE YOU...
AS FRESH MEAT LOVES SALT.
( gasping )
HOW CAN YOU INSULT ME SO ?
OH !
I HAVE BEEN BITTERLY DECEIVED BY YOU !
YOU HAVE NEVER REALLY LOVED ME.
YOU HAVE JUST TAKEN MY LOVE AND LAUGHED AT IT.
LEAVE US NOW AND NEVER MORE BE DAUGHTER OF MINE !
GO !
OH !
( sobbing )
( heavy panting )
( thundering )
( humming sound )
WHAT WAS THAT ?
OH !
THAT NOISE AGAIN !
IT'S A BIRD, HIDING IN THE RUSHES.
I COULD DO THAT !
HAVE YOU SEARCHED THE WOOD ?!
LOOK AGAIN !
GO FURTHER OUT, GO FURTHER OUT !
I HAVE LOST HER.
OH, TRY THAT.
YES, OH, THAT LOOKS PRETTY.
LOST HER.
OH.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
D-DO YOU WANT A MAID ?
NO, WE DON'T !
I HAVEN'T GOT ANYWHERE TO GO.
I DON'T MIND WHAT I DO.
I WON'T ASK FOR WAGES.
YOU'RE A *** ONE.
WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU COULD WASH THE POTS AND SCRAPE THE PANS.
BUT THERE'S NO WAGES, MIND,
AND IF I'M NOT SATISFIED, YOU'RE OUT.
NO, OF COURSE, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU CAN MAKE A START ON THIS LOT NOW.
THEN WE'LL ALL GET TO BED THE QUICKER.
YOU CAN SLEEP UNDER THE DRESSER.
AND YOU'RE NEVER TO LEAVE THE KITCHEN, NOT NEVE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ?
UPSTAIRS WON'T SEE YOU NOR HEAR YOU
AND THAT'S THE BEST WAY.
NOW, GET CLEANING THOSE PANS.
I'VE GOT TO MIND THE DESSER.
( humming )
( clearing throat )
MMM.
HEY, YOU, WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?
YOU WITH THE CAP O' RUSHES, WAKE UP !
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS ?
THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
( moaning )
FIRST JOB IS TO TAKE THE SWILL DOWN TO JOSEP.
FOLLOW THE PATH ROUND THE STABLES.
AND BE SHARP ABOUT IT.
AND THEN I'LL HAVE SOME BREAKFAST FOR YOU.
JOSEPH IS ROUND THE BACK, YOUNG MAID.
YOU MUST BE NEW HERE, WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?
THEY CALL ME CAP O' RUSHES, SIR.
CAP O' RUSHES ?
WELL, GOOD DAY TO YOU.

THE YOUNG MASTER SEARCHED EVERYWHERE
FOR HIS NAMELESS LOVE.
HE GREW DESPERATE AND LOST HIS APPETITE FOR LIFE.

COOK, YOU MUST MAKE SOME GRUL FOR YOUNG MASTER,
WHO'S DYING FOR LOVE OF THE LADY.

YOU OUGHT NOT TO, OOH, BUT SEEING AS I'M THAT BUSY...
DON'T LET IT BURN, MIND !
I'LL TAKE IT UP WHEN IT'S READY.
AHEM.
MISTRESS SAID I WAS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAD SOME, SIR.
ARGH.

FETCH COOK !
IT WAS CAP O'--
I MEAN, YOUNG MISTRESS, MA'AM,
SHE TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE SALT OFF.
I TOLD HER THAT WOULD BE RARE NASTY,
BUT SHE SAID TO ME THAT DON'T MATTER.
GOOD, SIR, I'M SORRY IF OUR FEAST HAS DISTRESSED YOU.
I BEG YOUR PARDON, SIR.
I DID NOT MEAN TO BE SAD AT YOUR WEDDING,
BUT I AM REMINDED OF THE DAUGHTER I HAVE LOST.
ONCE I ASKED HER HOW MUCH SHE LOVED ME AND SHE ANSWERED,
"AS MUCH AS FRESH MEAT LOVES SALT."
FOOL THAT I WAS, I DROVE HER FROM MY HOUSE,
FOR I THOUGHT SHE DIDN'T LOVE ME.
AND NOW, I HAVE TASTED YOUR MEAT,
I KNOW SHE LOVED ME BETTER THAN ANYONE
AND I SHALL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.
OH, FATHER.
OH, MY DAUGHTER,
MY TREASURE, IS IT REALLY YOU ?
THIS IS MY FATHER.
I LOST HIM
AND WITH HIM ALL THAT WAS MINE.
THEN I FOUND A NEW LOVE,
WHO HELPED ME FIND THE LOVE THAT I HAD LOST.
