Joe tells him not to be greedy; Edward signed Grange Farm’s tenancy agreement today, they’ve a lot to be grateful for.
- Annette and Susan chat more and, that evening, Annette’s pleased to tell Helen she’s got a job. It’s filling in for Susan at the shop, getting up at 6am to label the papers, etc. It’s minimum wage but could be £70 a week. Helen tries to point out it’s not much of a job or much income but Annette doesn’t see it and Helen gives in, seeing she’s happy. Annette even points out she’ll be able to start paying rent and be a proper lodger. Helen says yes to a top-up of wine.
