Look at that throne. 6 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,660 Sorry. I can't stop scrutinizing things. 7 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Let's see if it sets off any ideas. 8 00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:44,150 For the collection. 9 00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:45,340 For the collection. 10 00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:47,460 So far we've settled on blue. 11 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Blue is the key color. Let's decide on a theme. 12 00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:54,500 I think they have that. 13 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,890 Zebe had any ideas? 14 00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:02,120 It's a bit stumped too, I think. 15 00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:53,309 It all ties in. Nocturne, a nightpiece. And we'd already decided on evening wear 16 00:02:53,310 --> 00:02:54,650 and a range of blues. 17 00:02:56,170 --> 00:02:57,220 Well? 18 00:02:58,030 --> 00:02:59,080 Yes. 19 00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,250 Yes, Evie. 20 00:03:02,350 --> 00:03:04,580 And we make that the title of the collection. 21 00:03:05,170 --> 00:03:09,410 Nocturne. Not by Chopin or Whistler, but by the House of Elliot. 22 00:03:09,610 --> 00:03:11,600 Oh, well done, Evie. We've got our theme. 23 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,490 A letter, milady. 24 00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:28,690 From America. 25 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,330 Thank you, Charles. 26 00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:38,940 I thought the fabric should be in shot taffeta to get that shimmering effect. 27 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,600 And the turquoise adds a lighter note. 28 00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:43,430 It's lovely. 29 00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:44,550 It's light. 30 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,470 It's like one of the colours in his other nocturnes. 31 00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:49,550 The blue and green. 32 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,360 You know, Evie, those paintings are famous now. 33 00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,550 But in their day, they caused the most enormous fuss. 34 00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:58,140 Whistler was controversial. 35 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,799 I was wondering if we should not just be a bit daring, you know, put colours 36 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,020 together that don't necessarily... Is this my practical business like sister? 37 00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:11,900 Well, not the whole show, but just the final tableau. 38 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,880 Final tableau, gosh. 39 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,880 Sounds like a shallow review. 40 00:04:15,881 --> 00:04:19,018 Well, Jack says we should be as big and bold as if we were on the stage at the 41 00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:21,839 London Coliseum. Oh, well, Jack says then. 42 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:26,340 Oh. Bea, it's a good idea. I just think... Well, it needs... I know. 43 00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:28,940 Refining a little. We'll start again. 44 00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:50,310 Hello there, ma 'am. 45 00:04:50,311 --> 00:04:51,279 Miss 46 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:59,560 Mavet, 47 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,420 a word, please. 48 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,050 I wonder what she wants now. Where's Charlie? 49 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,160 OK, here, Sarah. Take it easy, take it easy. There you are. 50 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,940 But I've always gone out with the van. 51 00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:15,160 The church is playing a bigger part now. 52 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:17,780 Reverend Adams is a very capable man. 53 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,170 Doesn't need help. 54 00:05:19,171 --> 00:05:22,459 Well, what am I supposed to do? Sit about here all day, leaving everything 55 00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:25,939 others? You might spend a little time trying to think up new ways of raising 56 00:05:25,940 --> 00:05:26,990 money. 57 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,880 I've been doing the accounts. 58 00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:31,840 Our bank balance is far from healthy. 59 00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:35,060 I'm not an accountant or a miracle worker. 60 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,450 They've appointed you administrator. You think something. 61 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,120 To make real money, we need something like this. 62 00:05:50,730 --> 00:05:52,470 What are they supposed to be doing? 63 00:05:52,510 --> 00:05:54,190 It is a dance, Miss Maddox. 64 00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:55,920 For charity. 65 00:05:56,010 --> 00:05:58,130 Charity ball. That is grotesque. 66 00:05:58,131 --> 00:06:02,329 If people had any real heart, they would just give. They're just parasites. 67 00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:04,380 I think a charity ball sounds a good idea. 68 00:06:04,381 --> 00:06:07,829 Oh, and in which book of the scriptures did you read that? 69 00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:10,180 Theology was never my strong point, Penelope. 70 00:06:10,181 --> 00:06:13,769 If it's between faith and works, I plump for works. Now, who could we get who 71 00:06:13,770 --> 00:06:17,610 could give it exactly the right... Valor. 72 00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:19,760 Claude Valor. 73 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,260 A very distinguished man of fashion. 74 00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:25,630 If I wanted fashion, I would just go to my friend, the Elliot. 75 00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:26,790 The Elliot? 76 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,840 I've never heard of them. 77 00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:30,870 French. 78 00:06:34,340 --> 00:06:35,840 He could be the guest of honour. 79 00:06:36,260 --> 00:06:37,700 I do think it's a good idea. 80 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,010 Sometimes we have to do things we don't like in order to raise money. 81 00:06:43,260 --> 00:06:44,640 I'm quite pleased with this. 82 00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:46,860 So I have another little chore for you. 83 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,919 They're in a French magazine, but you'll have to help me. I simply can't decide 84 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,970 which one. 85 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,300 Um, I'm terribly sorry, but we're not doing this kind of thing anymore. 86 00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:00,630 What kind of thing? 87 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:02,340 We only do originals. 88 00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:03,630 No copies. 89 00:07:03,631 --> 00:07:06,999 But you've done copies for other people. I've seen them on my friends. 90 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,459 Our policy has changed. You see, we have a reputation now for original work. How 91 00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:12,510 damnably arrogant. 92 00:07:13,060 --> 00:07:15,470 Aren't you getting a little above yourselves? 93 00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:19,679 Every house has its own way of doing things.

Same old story. 598 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,680 However, I do have business associates who might be a little less high -bound. 599 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,050 No promises. 600 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:02,480 Let me see what I can do. 601 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,130 Evie? 602 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:17,479 Evie?

It didn't 609 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,660 seem... I didn't mean it to interfere with our work here. 610 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:52,690 It was a challenge. 611 00:42:53,220 --> 00:42:54,270 I see. 612 00:42:54,420 --> 00:42:56,340 But it entailed more than you realised. 613 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,580 I slipped in bits for the girls to do. 614 00:42:59,581 --> 00:43:02,879 Well, each one of them did so little.

It can be modified, Victor. 657 00:45:51,540 --> 00:45:53,500 Even a fashion writer's a journalist. 658 00:45:53,501 --> 00:45:57,679 And you must see that the connection with Arthur Elliot is simply too good to 659 00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:58,730 miss. 660 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,200 Now, let's see if we can compromise, shall we? 661 00:46:18,270 --> 00:46:19,320 Evie?

I've come round to your idea. I think, well, 665 00:46:29,150 --> 00:46:32,210 be really dramatic, it has to be on black. 666 00:46:33,250 --> 00:46:34,300 How funny. 667 00:46:34,301 --> 00:46:38,389 I've just been wondering whether stars and spangles and a black veil would ever 668 00:46:38,390 --> 00:46:39,440 get the right effect. 669 00:46:40,230 --> 00:46:42,330 It might look like rather a tame gesture. 670 00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:46,440 No, I think we go back to the original idea. 671 00:46:47,420 --> 00:46:48,470 All blue. 672 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,330 Good. 673 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:53,850 A backer? 674 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:54,980 You found a backer? 675 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,359 Yes, but not entirely unconditionally.

I thought you were running a respectable fashion magazine. 695 00:47:49,950 --> 00:47:54,129 This... This will throw more copies in a day than we usually do in a week. This 696 00:47:54,130 --> 00:47:55,930 is gross misrepresentation. 697 00:47:58,070 --> 00:48:02,029 You're not thinking of doing anything foolish, are you, Victor? I ought to 698 00:48:02,030 --> 00:48:03,650 resign.

I didn't write it. You are quoted 705 00:48:34,510 --> 00:48:39,529 repeatedly. How you and your son virtually set us up. How Arthur was led 706 00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:40,580 den of vice. 707 00:48:40,581 --> 00:48:44,189 impression given that the House of Elliot was founded on funds from illicit 708 00:48:44,190 --> 00:48:49,150 alcohol, from drugs and from Lord knows what else. I didn't say those things. 709 00:48:49,630 --> 00:48:55,229 Then what did you say? Simply that as your older relatives, Arthur and I 710 00:48:55,230 --> 00:48:57,210 naturally encouraged you. 711 00:48:57,790 --> 00:49:03,729 When in fact you put every objection possible in our way.
