Meanwhile, World War I is breaking out, mostly via bad performance art projected all over Reg’s face. Then Agnes comes in against Reg’s wishes, the one thing she does in this miniseries that is not cool.
Reg survives, but when Duncan and Agnes come to visit him at his request, they find out that he lost an arm, and his face got torn up, and he has no plans to accept his inheritance and be the next Lord Whatshisface. He wants Duncan to do it instead. Duncan, completely unaware that he is not long for the world, agrees.

This was my first read by Catherine Cookson, but I've watched almost all of the miniseries based on her novels, including the Fifteen Streets miniseries. I thought this book was pretty good and more or less what I expected. The story takes place in England, maybe 100 years ago or so. John is a young man from a very poor family who falls in love with Mary, a modern-minded young woman from a wealthy family. The class difference provides a big conflict, not to mention his very difficult family situation; he has several siblings, including some real troublemakers, and a difficult father, and many responsibilities as the oldest. The Secret (2000) with Colin Buchanan, Hannah Yelland, Elizabeth Carling, Clare Higgins, and Stephen Moyer Clearly, Jessie is not marrying the cutest Felton, since there’s a proto-McAvoy up there just waiting to deploy some serious Yearning Face.)She does the best she can to be sympathetic and not put words in his mouth, and as he leaves, he lays the world’s longest cheek-kiss on her. My most favourite Catherine Cookson book - the Kindle Edition has a different cover. Plain purple with the head and shoulders of Catherine Cookson pictured on it. But Duncan and Agnes aren’t the only star-crossed lovers here! Jessie, who caught a case of bairnsketball, tells Robbie! Robbie, who is upstanding and adorable, vows to marry her!
