【跟着英剧练发音】Parades End E01 - 30

 文本：

V- Valentine Wannop

C- Christopher Tietjens

 General: Nobody's dead.

Lady Claudine: Who was that with Tietjens?

General: Never you mind. Get in the car, we'll be late.

V: Why did you try to quarrel with the general?

C: You need a quarrel with him, it'll account for Lady Claudine spreading slander¹.

V: You think of everything when most men wouldn't be able to think at all. Tell me about Groby.

C: It's older than Protestantism... And Groby Great Tree is the symbol of the Yorkshire Tietjens. It's a big cedar². The crown darkens our top most windows, and the roots undermine our foundations. So one of them will have to go. House or tree, one day. If I ever take you there...

V: My dear... You'll never take me to Groby.
