Anne Lister and Ann Walker are growing closer, but are they playing with fire?

Anne Lister and Ann Walker are growing closer, but are they playing with fire? Meanwhile, the Rawson brothers step up their attempts to outmanoeuvre Anne in the coal business. 

Anne and Ann have been growing closer since Anne arrived by surprise in the Lake District. Exhilarated by the pace at which their relationship is progressing, Anne soon guides it into romantic territory. She confides her hopes for the future in her aunt, who reminds Anne that this is Halifax, and people aren’t always nice. Brushing off Aunt Anne’s concerns that her bold behaviour leaves her vulnerable to scrutiny, Anne has a proposition for Ann. Mrs Priestley’s inkling that there is something ‘more tender still than friendship’ about the two women’s relationship presents a threat. Meanwhile, John Booth is surprised at his own romantic success. The Rawson brothers step up their attempts to outmanoeuvre Anne in the coal business. Marian Lister is annoyed that her sister is treating Shibden like a hotel, and Sam Sowden’s mouthy behaviour causes problems for his son Thomas, who reluctantly takes the law into his own hands.
