- Oh, do not use violence! He is one man, and you are many - but her words died away, for there was no tone in her voice. It was but a hoarse whisper. Mr. Thornton stood a little on one side; he had moved away from behind her, as if jealous of anything that should come between him and danger.
- Go! said she, once more (and now her voice was like a cry) - The soldiers are sent for, are coming. Go peaceably. Go away. You shall have relief from your complaints, whatever they are.
- Shall them Irish blackguards be packed back again? - asked one from out the crowd, with fierce threatening in his voice.
- Never, for your bidding! - exclaimed Mr. Thornton.
And instantly the storm broke. The hootings rose and filled the air, but Margaret did not hear them. Her eye was on the group of lads who had armed themselves with their clogs some time before. She saw their gesture, she knew its meaning, she read their aim. Another moment, and Mr. Thornton might be smitten down, he whom she had urged and goaded to come to this perilous place. She only thought how she could save him. She threw her arms around him. She made her body into a shield from the fierce people beyond. Still, with his arms folded, he shook her off.
- Go away - said he, in his deep voice - This is no place for you.
- It is! - said she - You did not see what I saw.
If she thought her sex would be a protection, if with shrinking eyes she had turned away from the terrible anger of these men, in any hope that ere she looked again they would have paused and reflected, and slunk away, and vanished,she was wrong. Their reckless passion had carried them too far to stop at least had carried some of them too far; for it is always the savage lads, with their love of cruel excitement, who head the riot reckless to what bloodshed it may lead. A clog whizzed through the air. Margaret's fascinated eyes watched its progress; it missed its aim, and she turned sick with affright, but changed not her position, only hid her face on Mr. Thornton s arm. Then she turned and spoke again:
- For God's sake! Do not damage your cause by this violence. You do not know what you are doing - she strove to make her words distinct.
A sharp pebble flew by her, grazing forehead and cheek, and drawing a blinding sheet of light before her eyes. She lay like one dead on Mr. Thornton's shoulder. Then he unfolded his arms, and held her encircled in one for an instant:
- You do well! - said he - You come to oust the innocent stranger You fall, you hundreds, on one man; and when a woman comes before you, to ask you for your own sakes to be reasonable creatures, your cowardly wrath falls upon her! You do well!
They were silent while he spoke. They were watching, open-eyed and open-mouthed, the thread of dark-red blood which wakened them up from their trance of passion. Those nearest the gate stole out ashamed; there was a movement through all the crowda retreating movement.

“He shook hands with Margaret. He knew it was the first time their hands had met, though she was perfectly unconscious of the fact.”

Bem, começo a ficar necessitada de uma destas propostas!
Richard Armitage tem certamente um jeitinho todo especial para fazer propostas de casamento. Claro que as reacções dependem muito da mulher a quem ele se dirige. Há umas que, apesar de boas raparigas, são mesmo orgulhosas demais para aceitar um homem como Mr Thornton. Outras há que acham tão fabulosa uma proposta daquelas que até entendem tudo mal e quando se apercebem da realidade, até os sinos da igreja tocam.
Vejam a diferença e vejam se conseguem não desatar à gargalhada com a reação da Vigária Geraldine; ou se conseguem não sentir o coração apertado quando Miss Hale recusa John Thornton.
North and South (BBC, 2004)
The Vicar of Dibley (2006/7)
Os vídeos fazem parte, obviamente, de North and South, série da BBC de 2004 e o outro de The Vicar of Dibley, um especial de Natal que findou a série que estava no ar desde 1994. Este segundo vídeo é um pouco extenso mas vale a pena esperar para ver a proposta de casamento de Harry Kennedy à Vigária; nos entretantos, divertimo-nos com Alice, a melhor amiga de Geraldine, que, depois de ler O código DaVinci de Dan Brown, e como o seu nome rima com cálice (em inglês Chalice), pensa que é uma descendente de Jesus.

Na rubrica "Inspira-me" o sapo sugere que falemos sobre uma série de Televisão na qual andemos viciados.
MAS QUE DIABO!!!!!
Será que o Sapo anda distraído e ainda não passou pelo meu blog????
"North and South", sapinho! A melhor série de todos os tempos, baseada na obra da britânica Elizabeth Gaskell. Não é para o gosto de todos e já é de 2004 (antiga???) mas é do melhor que há.
Experimenta, sapinho. Vais gostar. Só tem quatro episódios e pode ser que te tornes romântico! E, não te esqueças de apreciar a banda sonora.
Um cheirinho da história para ti, sapo! Enjoy it! E, por favor, nada de confundir esta linda trama com a série americana "Norte e Sul" que andou por aí nos anos oitenta ou noventa. NÃO TEM NADA A VER!

Uma das cenas mais emblemáticas de North and South.
"I wish I could tell you, Edith, how lonely I am... how cold and harsh it is here. Everywhere, there's is conflict and... unkindness. I think God has forsaken this place. I believe I have seen hell. It's white...snow white!"
Margaret Hale in a letter to her cousin Edith
