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

“Wait, are you saying he proposed?”
Margaret shrugs, obviously uncomfortable. She gestures to the bartender, indicating she needs another drink.
“Yeah, I guess. Something like that.”
Her friend stares at her, puzzled.
“But I thought you hated each other! You said no, of course?”
Margaret laughs, inhaling deeply.
“Of course. We can’t stand each other.” She takes a sip of her new drink, eyes clouding. “I mean, I think. I don’t think I’m in danger of changing my mind…”

Margaret Hale: It offends me that you should speak to me as if it were your duty to rescue my reputation!
John Thornton: I spoke to you about my feelings because I love you! I had no thought for your reputation.
Margaret Hale: You think that because you are rich and my father is in reduced circumstances, that you can have me for your possession. Well, I suppose I should expect no less from someone in trade!
John Thornton: I don’t want to possess you! I wish to marry you because I love you.

richardarmitagedrinksthings:

From the DVD commentary, North & South director Brian Percival on filming the dinner scene with the mill owners:

Poor Richard. When we shot this we tend to go around and shoot everybody after we’d done a wide shot, a master shot, and Richard sat there most of the day. It took practically a whole day to shoot this scene and we got to him last. I think he played it wonderfully. There’s a dark side to him, a threatened side. And that mystery and intrigue we tried to enhance by moving the camera constantly around them apart from this point where there’s a “But…” and it requires us to stop.

But towards the end of the day I looked down at Richard’s plate in front of him and he’d been making little faces out of Stilton [cheese]! He was a little bit bored at one point.

“Mr. Thornton,” said Margaret, shaking all over with her passion, “go down this instant, if you are not a coward. Go down and face them like a man. Save these poor strangers, whom you have decoyed here. Speak to your workmen as if they were human beings. Speak to them kindly. Don’t let the soldiers come in and cut down poor-creatures who are driven mad. I see one there who is. If you have any courage or noble quality in you, go out and speak to them, man to man.”

He turned and looked at her while she spoke. A dark cloud came over his face while he listened. He set his teeth as he heard her words.
