good morning see Charles you look very

pretty enough you slept well I didn't

bed of nails all night as a punishment

for being such a terrible houseguest Oh

Finn O'Neill behind I am a spinster I

shall enjoy being a spinster and I shall

be a wonderful aunt and godmother shan't

village school will have to wait until

tomorrow I'm glad it's Sunday I shall

start my new life with a rousing him and

a stirring sermon not an our parish

church you weren't sure we got it a huge

success of any of the congregation

managed to stay away that small window

breaks it's dawn Romeo it's nearly six

o'clock then I better go and see my

family but I dare not tell them about

you my dearest Romeo and Juliet we have

well Alibaba sounded just like a lady to

me you must be Sarah

yes Miss Sarah Mars I'll look after the

children when a nanny has a day off

Williams been talking about you all week

and mrs. Carroll says you're the

brightest star in the village school

she's going to be a teacher if I'm good

enough miss of course you were I can see

it straightaway and you're a budding

actress I just like the story

those two poor people so deeply in love

and so tragic and I'm doing it in my

exam miss exams I've wasted half my life

on exams Sara exams to not make you

happy

and being happy is what matters luncheon

is served

everyone wants us ladies to be happy if

we smile and say all the right things it

makes life so much easier

Sara I'll tell your teacher you must

read about miss Nightingale adventures

in far-flung lands every girl should

know about Florence Nightingale Sarah is

not Eleanor Bramwell she's an orphan she

was brought up in the workhouse and we

must fit her for her position in this

world the schoolteacher has are under

his wing just think darling if I had

rescued you from medical school

we try to school one girl for teaching

and one boy for clocking and if you have

more than one talented pupil country

needs its farm laborers miss Bronwen

quite as much as this doctors we all

must eat Sam loach has been absent all

week

the Milligan I'll call in and his mother

on the way home you will just give her

another sovereign and she will just

spend it on gin again working in that

dreadful place I think we must give up

with him he's born to be a beast of

burden in this miserable mire of a

village you dislike the village and the

children and you despise education I

wonder that do you bother at all so do i

when I have to tolerate the criticism of

ladies who stare at my pupils as if

there were animals in the zoo I was

noting the ringworm and lice the scabs

and sores and signs of malnutrition I'm

grateful for your interest but mrs. kill

Shaw should not have torn you away from

me a sewing circle miss brownwell is far

too busy with her Hospital to join any

sewing circle and I would be ashamed of

a waiting room was full of dirt and

disease as this classroom is would you

miss Bramwell how satisfying for you

and I hear where you saying is stupid

creatures sit up straight

oh yeah once 77

no cheese cabbage and he's dead they

think this was heaven it's all very well

saying that man but he's the eldest if

you don't work I merely have to go on

fields he doesn't look like he's well

enough to work anywhere he's got to come

he'll be all right for sure I would do

the more good than this smoky atmosphere

can you sit up for me no it's weird

Ellen I'm not doctoring but resting the

place is filthy what can you expect do

my best

you'll be crawling with vermin yourself

if you don't get off that floor here's a

sovereign to buy some good fresh food

I'll have my housekeeper send a mattress

no rashes here this is all the time

mumps measles whooping cough from one

epidemic to another epidemics of the

result of ignorance and neglect not

thunder bolts from heaven I'm a teacher

not a doctor excuse me I'm going for my

dinner Sarah take them through their

tables again at 1 o'clock examine them

if you must

it'll make no difference to them or me

I'm here to rest mr. Hearn not to work

then go and rest miss Bramwell no one is

asking you to do anything but mind your

own business

am I the only doctor in the area

it's so unspeakably rude he has a

terrible temper miss it's not a crossing

but you have a clean bill of health you

can run along outside and play nice it's

quarter past and mr. Hanks ain't worried

about mr. Hearn with half his school

infected I'm sure he'll have better

things to worry about the multiplication

tables Sara assemble applause all these

children are infected you can't sit them

next to healthy children in this one

airless room what do you think will

happen when I dismiss them at the end of

the day do you think that parents will

segregate them from each other Sara the

door Sara stay where you are I will not

let you neglect the care of these

children you seem a little irrational

miss Bramwell and as you were here for a

rest I can only suggest that you take it

Sara will you please round to mr. kill

Shaw and tell him that I need to see him

urgently what are you going to do

measles can kill a malnourished child

and these are half starved if it doesn't

kill them it can definitely need care

and nursing and I will make sure they

get it

you heard me does your tall girl and

siren leave the doors open we need fresh

air

myself I've worked as a rotor system for

the mothers but the care they give will

be very basic it's only measles every

girl gets it and Jonesy's come

especially and must see the children

settle down for the night

really Anna you're beyond a joke now

Ellen are be honest with your old uncle

Charles measles I'm not overreacting in

any way no it isn't because mr. Hearn

annoyed you and you wanted to show the

thing or two there are two young babies

in the village we can't risk them

getting infected when you decide to

shake off melancholy you do a thoroughly

but if being busy helped it does you see

right through me don't you

your class clear sparkling class

that is fragile

her doctor and she doesn't like me of

course she does well everyone does

feeling dreadful I feel dreadful you're

so smug Izzy can't you imagine what a

girl like Sarah must be going through no

I cannot she's been given a good

Christian upbringing living off the

charity of others and now she's

permitted some man Sarah has done only

what I and countless others have done

but with far more excuse

come and sit down and take down the

temperatures as I call them out was that

delicious smell

school sleeping slim with innocence she

should be sent straight back to the work

that's where she belong this she does

the school won't see me again for one

and miles but nor did supplying them

with meat I can promise you that

coming here was an idea yesterday

afternoon you took a walk to a village

since then you've closed the school

reopened it as a hospital and alienated

the local women what exactly were those

harridans getting on about Isabel didn't

tell you she just said you'd argued

she's lying in her room with a headache

the [ __ ] is poor little Sarah Sarah

Sarah Miller what about her she's having

a child good God and she has measles she

refuses to name the father but I'll

speak to her again later how is she

physically Annie she's young fit it is

only a simple infection after all but it

would be sad if it affected the baby an

unwed mother with a sickle crippled

child porridge yes and some man walks

away laughing how do you know he's doing

that men all over the world do that

we're not all like fit on you

sweet lonely Ella

I think no less of you Isabelle told you

no just listening to you talk is that

why you and is he argued we argued over

Sarah and then I told her about Finn I

think she was very shocked yes yes she

would be she's a very sheltered I wish I

was as sheltered and narrow-minded and

cosseted if she is

I thought that I could never confide in

anyone you know your confidence is safe

with me yes I do

well I I better help Sara with dinner or

she'll be fainting again and some of the

children can play outside this afternoon

mr. Hearn happy little scene it was

children do not seem to have this but

it's dampened by my presence

how is Sara little tired determined not

to name the father very loyal yes she

would be it's in her nature which makes

her predicament all the more tragic

she's without a future now

no school will ever have an unmarried

mother on its staff no it's a harsh

world and a hypocritical one problem

Oliver done something new to offend him

not me no

you see my god you did lives in all of

you how could you be so cruel and

perverted how do you miss Bramwell how

is it that such a pretty face can

conceal such a cess pit of a mind this

child can it be in such trouble and

don't distract me Sarah before the days

out you're going to tell me the man's

name

grief and heartbreak do strange things

to a woman she calls me smug and say you

are as I am too when anyone is as happy

as we are they can't help but be smug we

must make allowances further

I never stopped making allowances for

her I put myself out I reorganized the

whole household to make her welcome

I've jamesy coming for cards tonight

chance has he moved in well I'm gonna

said she wanted to meet him again didn't

she doesn't see the state you're this is

Jenkins thank you for coming back I

don't know how long I'll be we'll look

after the children miss better awesome

that creature

it's a bad child I'm sorry I need your

help

whatever is it sarah has miscarried I

have to bring her here I couldn't a sake

yeah she's breathing I can't help her at

the school you've seen how filthy the

places and that tiny room you trained to

be a doctor for two years yes but

there's no one else who can help me

she's bleeding is he she could die well

miss I don't understand little lost the

child you have Sarah I'm sorry

to talk to you it's a nightgown I left

it upstairs very crime but he's wrong

don't you see no it makes please don't

let him stay he won't stay try to become

lost the child chuckles not to worry

anymore don't you call her

let's try to lie still and breathe

deeply little child for the best that we

will do it she's making no sense

like this a man is neither use nor

ornament look just like little Rosie

sorry must lie still you really don't

want a dinner guests on an evening like

this they do stop them talking about the

wretched operation how are you darling

sorted you see I have it again how's the

girl she's recovering

she's very distressed as much for the

child as for herself

grieving its loss it's probably for the

best for her sake he's still very weak

she'll need a few days bed rest at least

the maid is sitting with her until she

waits properly we won't move her

upstairs in the servants quarters for a

couple of days she can't stay here well

why not where else could she go if

they'll take care of her the workhouse

you can't want us to go back to that

dreadful place no well I must bathe and

change you must be exhausting and you

your child has just died do you feel no

emotion relief not for me for her I

never intended any of this the girl

looked after the children she was just a

servant just

but then she started talking to me about

books and she became something more and

now you're going to tell me that you

loved her

no but she loved me and that's very

seductive is it you know it is but she

can't stay here under the same roof as

Isabel I never so much as look at Sara

again I won't risk losing Isabel and my

future for the sake of some girl with a

winning smile how can you be sure you're

so weak and so ready to be tempted if I

was weak and so is she she is just a

child you took advantage didn't force

myself on her I'm not that kind of

gentleman any more than Finn O'Neill is

when a woman takes the risk

the side door

shockingly shameless fool

we must think of the future now no

moping about the past no laughs my name

is why because your brows branded with

some shocking scarlet mark it isn't

why shouldn't you find a good job I knew

her maybe a husband one day I don't want

a husband miss I want it's one kind word

just for him to say sorry about the

child and about me it's not much to want

is it no you still love him

mrs. kill shows being so kind to me that

makes me here to wanna see him I know

it's wrong cover me I'm gonna stop

loving at the drop of a hat women can't

but moping around and being tragic about

it won't help you or anyone else they

won't have him back at Mill till she

says he's fit

well they she's fed him for a few days

she'll in a week I'm losing won't be

overreaching in two pockets will it

I might go understand that Sam will not

be returning to his lessons I've got the

rest of them to feed mrs. loach

the turn will be back to normal in a

couple of days you'd be doing him a

Newark than this when his eyes have

stopped itching

she loves me it's Tinker Tailor Soldier

sailor the gemstone that's to decide who

you're going to marry I made that

decision two children and a whole

lifetime ago

she loves me not here have one of mine

have you ever seen such a child jamesy

she loves me there I can enjoy the rest

of the evening I'm going home on Monday

what I'll send a note to my father but

you were staying here until the end of

the month you don't want me cluttering

up your social calendar for another

three weeks

I do sorry if Helena feels ready to

return to the hectic life of London she

isn't this is because we had words the

other day isn't it of course not as I

was so judgmental to that poor girl

downstairs your turn James II Tinker

Tailor dr. su but I just wasn't thinking

and it was before I saw her distressed

she was and I have tried to make up for

it it has nothing to do with Sarah well

or very little you and Charles have your

own very full lives and I have mine I

wouldn't see you for months unless I

come up to town we'll miss you Ella now

that you must do what you think best

but the children have their little show

to put on for you I'm not running away

in the middle of the night they can put

it on tomorrow is it so terrible here

it's wonderful you've been very kind

you offered your house as a refuge and

that's what I saw at first a rural

little peace and kindness but it isn't

it's a community which punishes a

foolish girl and casts her out we are

not throwing her out I've told her she

may stay on as under nanny I asked you

to wait until we discussed it stay on

here that's even worse even worse I

don't understand you I really do not

begin to understand you I suppose I

could join a club up in town and call on

you once a month or so

you can't stay here you know that missus

kill sure ask me but missus kill Shaw

doesn't know does she

if you stay here seeing Charles kill

Shaw day in and day out what do you

think will happen you're not a child

Sarah answer me

nothing will happen miss mr. kill Shaw

came to my room last night to tell me

that nothing will still happen again you

came to your room doesn't that

demonstrate how wrong this is

only to tell me you could never happen

again and when Isabelle is cross with

him or he speaks to you in the library

he catches sight of you through a window

that's how these things happen Sarah if

you read in one of your books about a

married man with two lovely children

making love to an orphan girl you make

you sound dreadful and flirting with his

wife's best friend it he be the hero or

the villain or just a very weak man he

wants to be strong but he can't so you

must be strong enough for both of you

well like our you can work with me in

the East End until you're accepted as

one of miss nightingales nurseries would

you tag me of course they'll take you

put them on the kill shores card for

yourself

dr. Bramwell I believe there been no new

cases of measles for three days

sensible quarantine halts the spread of

disease mr. Hun

mama children will all be returning to

their lessons tomorrow looking healthier

than I've ever seen them I think maybe

that's an exaggeration all week they'll

put to bed early and allowed to sleep

through we're at simple good food when

either personal beaten you may have

given them the only stay in heaven they

will ever know are you mocking me mr.

Hearn I said I'm not cue for what I

cannot do which I could bring a few days

peace and joy into their lives but you

give them so much education I'll limit

what I teach them I have a

responsibility

I don't torture Sarah with dreams she

can never fulfill dreams are not at all

pointed dreams unfulfilled dreams dreams

did you have when you first came to

teaching mr. you don't a deal of good in

this village as a doctor and I honor you

for it but the greatest kindness she can

do poor Sarah is to equip her for the

miserable life she must lead not give

her dream she can never ever I have my

lessons to prepare for tomorrow

I'm sure that you've been offended in

some way no was it Charles

he doesn't join mischief-making but

there's no harm in him I haven't been

offended take Sara with you I just wish

I knew what had happened sit down here

and talk to me properly tell me

everything

every single thing that has happened

nothing has happened I've been here too

long I miss my friends and my work and

I'm over Finn that's all and now you

must hurry back to all your adventures

and excitements huh two long hours and

little pay and a father who hasn't much

time for me these days we have so much

independence income interest you do good

in the wild and I'm lonely either I was

lonely until I married but you do love

him what does he love me

has he ever no no is it truly nothing

like that I'm sure he loves you he was

unfaithful to me I think I would die

times marriage is all I have if he turns

away from me I've got nothing while you

have so much when I get your letters I

read them over and over again trying to

imagine your world and the back of my

head there's this little nugget of

consolation but she doesn't know what it

is to have been loved and now it seems

you know even that he loved me yes but

it didn't last very long

the carriage is here have you ladies

finished your Garson we were talking

about you Eleanor says you're much more

handsome than she remembered don't you

Ellie yes is Sarah ready waiting

downstairs

the basket thank you on the train

picnics era moment please sure sure

good morning mr. Hearn we are and rather

a hurry to get to the station yes

Sarah I thought might enjoy these as an

atlas so that wherever miss Nightingale

sends you and where we're going and

Romeo and Juliet the greatest traveling

companion of all well logbook wherever

she goes she'll always remember the

teacher who gave it to her well maybe a

girl now don't disgrace us goodbye

ah yes sir

a small gift from mrs. kill Shaw and me

you'll need to buy aprons and caps I

find it seems like a fortune but thank

you I don't want it it might be very

useful I'll work for I get miss only

honestly I didn't steal it from the bank

thank you mrs. kill Shaw

I'd rather neither husband's money

get on your way on

Farren Karla glances and doctors never

feel cool and I feel tired we never eat

scratch or flirt with the patient so

they regard life which is why the

occasional cake to fortify its Madeira

fruit

you

you
