- On the eve of the public opening of the clock, a vital piece does not arrive and Laura's father's tool-bag is stolen. Edmund sells his boots and Dorcas sets up a fund to buy him new tools. He is, predictably, resentful to be regarded as a charity case. Learning that her father was forced to stay in Lark Rise when he first arrived because Emma was so besotted with him she stole and hid his hammer, Laura owns up to hiding the missing piece for the clock. It was to make Fisher stay. Whilst Fisher confesses his love for Laura, Robert gives him a harsh pep talk, asking if he is up to the responsibility of marriage after a life as an itinerant single craftsman.—don @ minifie-1
- Mr. Dowling's gift of the clock is nearly complete and he prepares a celebration for the grand opening, having invited dignitaries from far and wide. He asks Dorcas to cut the ribbon, but she is quite reluctant to do so. Laura realizes that with the completion of the clock, Fisher will move on. When the last part finally arrives, she hides it, leading to tension between Dowling and Dorcas. During a wonderful family outing in Candleford, Robert's tools are stolen from the wagon. Unable to practice his craft, Robert has no choice but to work as a farm laborer at one-quarter of his normal wages. His pride will not allow any charity either. Margaret Ellison and Thomas Brown buy a tea set, their first purchase together.—garykmcd
