It was empty. 54 00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:58,261 You broke the door! Look at the mess you've made! 55 00:04:58,262 --> 00:05:01,262 Get back to the gutter you came from! Do you hear me?! 56 00:05:05,262 --> 00:05:07,262 God bless you. Get out! 57 00:05:12,262 --> 00:05:15,261 It's tedious beyond belief. All they talk of is 58 00:05:15,262 --> 00:05:18,261 whether prints or stripes will sell, 59 00:05:18,262 --> 00:05:22,261 what kind of silk might sell this autumn. 60 00:05:22,262 --> 00:05:24,261 Papa, Katherine told me how, when she was a girl, she used to 61 00:05:24,262 --> 00:05:28,261 run off into the woods here searching for The Secret People. 62 00:05:28,262 --> 00:05:31,261 The Secret People were my imaginary friends. 63 00:05:31,262 --> 00:05:34,261 An only child's compensations for her loneliness. Papa, could we...? 64 00:05:34,262 --> 00:05:38,262 It was Moray's intention to expand along the whole street, wasn't it? 65 00:05:40,262 --> 00:05:44,262 Tom, my darling, Flora was asking you a question. 66 00:05:47,262 --> 00:05:50,261 What is your question, Flora? 67 00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:54,261 I loved hearing about when Katherine was a girl. Would you tell me 68 00:05:54,262 --> 00:05:56,262 about when you were a boy? 69 00:05:58,262 --> 00:05:59,262 Possibly. 70 00:06:02,262 --> 00:06:08,261 I think we should do what Moray so patently failed to achieve. 71 00:06:08,262 --> 00:06:11,261 I have three objectives - to find a way back into the store. 72 00:06:11,262 --> 00:06:13,261 You've done that. WE'VE done that. 73 00:06:13,262 --> 00:06:15,261 Nothing would be possible without you keeping it together here. 74 00:06:15,262 --> 00:06:18,261 And the other two are, to find the funds, and persuade 75 00:06:18,262 --> 00:06:21,261 Mr and Mrs Weston to sell. To sell to me. 76 00:06:21,262 --> 00:06:23,261 Mr Moray. Mr Dudley. 77 00:06:23,262 --> 00:06:25,261 I have a proposal for a promotion in Ladieswear. 78 00:06:25,262 --> 00:06:28,261 You didn't waste much time. 79 00:06:28,262 --> 00:06:35,261 Afternoon tea. Indeed, a tea party. Tables. With white tablecloths. 80 00:06:35,262 --> 00:06:37,261 Fine teas. Cakes and scones. 81 00:06:37,262 --> 00:06:40,261 The ladies would come in, to sit and gossip... 82 00:06:40,262 --> 00:06:42,261 And who would serve the cakes and fine teas? 83 00:06:42,262 --> 00:06:44,262 I thought Myrtle. 84 00:06:45,262 --> 00:06:48,261 Right! Oh, it is good-hearted of you, Denise. 85 00:06:48,262 --> 00:06:51,261 We all know that Myrtle nags away to come front of house. 86 00:06:51,262 --> 00:06:54,261 But good-heartedness is not the best quality for running a department. 87 00:06:54,262 --> 00:06:59,261 Myrtle must never be let loose on our customers. Cakes in Ladieswear?! 88 00:06:59,262 --> 00:07:01,261 Do you honestly suppose 89 00:07:01,262 --> 00:07:04,261 that is the impression we are trying to make? No, sir. 90 00:07:04,262 --> 00:07:08,261 No. Right. 91 00:07:08,262 --> 00:07:12,261 It's true, Denise, what he says. You need to step into the role now. 92 00:07:12,262 --> 00:07:14,261 That means making decisions that others won't like. 93 00:07:14,262 --> 00:07:15,261 You have to be strong. 94 00:07:15,262 --> 00:07:18,261 In the end, they will respect you, but to begin with, you can't 95 00:07:18,262 --> 00:07:21,262 let yourself worry whether they'll like you or not. 96 00:07:47,262 --> 00:07:50,261 Miss Denise, are these hats to go on display? 97 00:07:50,262 --> 00:07:52,261 Yes, Susy. Put them by the window. 98 00:07:52,262 --> 00:07:55,261 Miss Denise, shall I put all of them out, ma'am? 99 00:07:55,262 --> 00:07:56,261 Oh! Miss Denise, 100 00:07:56,262 --> 00:07:59,261 shall I fetch some fresh flowers for the changing closet? 101 00:07:59,262 --> 00:08:02,261 Clara usually likes to do the flowers. 102 00:08:02,262 --> 00:08:04,262 Come on, we'll fetch them together. 103 00:08:08,262 --> 00:08:11,262 Miss Denise, Myrtle's asking for you. 104 00:08:14,262 --> 00:08:17,262 But you promised. I said I'd try, Myrtle. 105 00:08:18,262 --> 00:08:22,261 Well, you didn't try hard enough, did you? Susy has a position. 106 00:08:22,262 --> 00:08:23,261 What's Susy got that I haven't? 107 00:08:23,262 --> 00:08:25,261 She shared a room with you, is that it? 108 00:08:25,262 --> 00:08:29,261 I so want us to remain friends. Friends? Is that what you call it? 109 00:08:29,262 --> 00:08:31,261 I know I'm a friend to you. 110 00:08:31,262 --> 00:08:33,261 I'm not so sure you're a friend to me, now that 111 00:08:33,262 --> 00:08:36,261 you have a Miss before your name. 112 00:08:36,262 --> 00:08:39,261 Well, I have work to do, MISS Denise. 113 00:08:39,262 --> 00:08:41,262 There's stoves to be scrubbed. 114 00:08:55,262 --> 00:08:58,261 This old barber's shop was purchased over a year ago, I understand? 115 00:08:58,262 --> 00:09:01,261 Yes, sir. I believe the plan was to expand. 116 00:09:01,262 --> 00:09:03,261 Then why does it stand like this? 117 00:09:03,262 --> 00:09:06,261 Mr Moray reconsidered it, sir. 118 00:09:06,262 --> 00:09:09,261 Ask him to come out here to join me. I'm afraid Mr Moray's 119 00:09:09,262 --> 00:09:12,261 gone out to meet with one of our suppliers, sir. 120 00:09:12,262 --> 00:09:15,261 How long will he be? I don't know. 121 00:09:15,262 --> 00:09:18,261 I think perhaps he is visiting more than one merchant. 122 00:09:18,262 --> 00:09:20,262 Then I will wait. 123 00:09:26,262 --> 00:09:30,261 Hey, look at this old witch. Ugh, smell her from here. 124 00:09:30,262 --> 00:09:32,261 Eh? Do you think she's coming in to buy a fur? 125 00:09:32,262 --> 00:09:34,262 We should ask her. Measure her up. 126 00:10:09,262 --> 00:10:12,262 I'm sorry I spoke to you that way. There was no call for that. 127 00:10:13,262 --> 00:10:16,262 Are you hungry? 128 00:10:33,262 --> 00:10:35,261 It's clear what you want, Moray. 129 00:10:35,262 --> 00:10:37,261 You c-crave the same thing as I do. 130 00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:42,261 Mr and Mrs Weston stand in the way of b-both of us, do they not? 131 00:10:42,262 --> 00:10:46,261 Perhaps you and I may be of benefit to one another in this matter. 132 00:10:46,262 --> 00:10:49,261 How might that be possible, Mr Fenton? 133 00:10:49,262 --> 00:10:51,261 I have the funds. You have the m-means. 134 00:10:51,262 --> 00:10:56,261 You would loan me the money? Slowly, Moray. Slowly. Please. 135 00:10:56,262 --> 00:11:01,261 I would purchase The Paradise and we would become joint owners. 136 00:11:01,262 --> 00:11:03,262 That is what I offer. 137 00:11:04,262 --> 00:11:06,261 Let us be forthright. 138 00:11:06,262 --> 00:11:10,261 Each of us intends to own the store outright. 139 00:11:10,262 --> 00:11:13,261 That battle lies ahead. 140 00:11:13,262 --> 00:11:15,261 I suppose each of us would take that on rather than 141 00:11:15,262 --> 00:11:17,261 be at the mercy of Tom Weston and his wife. 142 00:11:17,262 --> 00:11:20,261 Is that so? It is so. 143 00:11:20,262 --> 00:11:22,261 And if you have the price of a good lawyer, 144 00:11:22,262 --> 00:11:25,261 we can proceed to an agreement. 145 00:11:25,262 --> 00:11:28,261 And how do you propose we might remove them, sir? 146 00:11:28,262 --> 00:11:33,261 WE don't. They remove themselves, if we come between them. 147 00:11:33,262 --> 00:11:37,261 Between them? But how might we do such a thing, sir? 148 00:11:37,262 --> 00:11:44,261 As I say, I have the funds, you have the means. Jealousy. 149 00:11:44,262 --> 00:11:48,261 A man detests a rival, but more than this, he cannot bear 150 00:11:48,262 --> 00:11:52,262 the sight of the man who has enjoyed intimacy with his wife. 151 00:11:56,262 --> 00:11:58,262 I see. 152 00:11:59,262 --> 00:12:01,262 I must taunt Tom Weston. 153 00:12:02,262 --> 00:12:06,261 Show kindness to Katherine. Exhibit concern for her. 154 00:12:06,262 --> 00:12:11,262 And remind her, remind them both of our closeness. 155 00:12:18,262 --> 00:12:21,261 I cannot do such a thing, sir. 156 00:12:21,262 --> 00:12:24,262 Cannot or w-will not? 157 00:12:26,262 --> 00:12:28,261 Thank you for your consideration, Mr Fenton. 158 00:12:28,262 --> 00:12:31,261 I thought you were a serious man, Moray. 159 00:12:31,262 --> 00:12:32,261 I took you for a man of purpose, ambition. 160 00:12:32,262 --> 00:12:36,261 You could have your store back for the sake of a l-little flirting. 161 00:12:36,262 --> 00:12:38,261 Yet you find it beyond you to toy with 162 00:12:38,262 --> 00:12:41,262 Mrs Weston, perhaps for sentimental reasons? 163 00:12:45,262 --> 00:12:47,262 My reasons are for me to know. 164 00:12:50,262 --> 00:12:54,262 If you should reconsider, I'm always available to you. 165 00:13:06,262 --> 00:13:08,262 Eh!

Denise is Moray's lover. 175 00:13:41,262 --> 00:13:46,261 I choose to believe that Denise won the position because of her talents. 176 00:13:46,262 --> 00:13:49,261 I admire your faith in humanity, Clara. 177 00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:51,262 Even if I cannot share it. 178 00:13:53,262 --> 00:13:56,261 Where is Mr Moray today? I don't keep his diary, sir. 179 00:13:56,262 --> 00:13:58,262 It's not for the likes of me to know. 180 00:14:03,262 --> 00:14:07,261 What is it, Mr Weston? It will pass. Go!

The whole street. Both sides. 200 00:15:23,262 --> 00:15:24,261 I intend to be the owner 201 00:15:24,262 --> 00:15:27,262 of the largest department store in this country. 202 00:15:32,262 --> 00:15:35,262 What brought you to a life like this, Ruby? 203 00:15:36,262 --> 00:15:42,261 I had a daughter. I still do, I suppose. She ran off. 204 00:15:42,262 --> 00:15:43,261 Left me. 205 00:15:43,262 --> 00:15:50,261 I was ill and, well, she was only 15, she was still a child. 206 00:15:50,262 --> 00:15:53,261 She's a flighty thing. But you had to love her. 207 00:15:53,262 --> 00:15:55,261 She's not much of a daughter to do such a thing. 208 00:15:55,262 --> 00:15:58,261 Oh, I was a burden to her, I know I was. 209 00:15:58,262 --> 00:16:01,262 A girl can't live only to take care of her sick ma. 210 00:16:05,262 --> 00:16:09,261 I just want to tell her that... that I am on me feet 211 00:16:09,262 --> 00:16:13,261 and she don't have to look after me. Are you searching for her? 212 00:16:13,262 --> 00:16:15,261 I've found her. In this city? 213 00:16:15,262 --> 00:16:16,262 In this street. 214 00:16:18,262 --> 00:16:20,261 She wrote to me sister, and I was 215 00:16:20,262 --> 00:16:22,261 so glad to hear that the child has a good life for herself now. 216 00:16:22,262 --> 00:16:25,261 For herself, yeah! Not a care for her mother! 217 00:16:25,262 --> 00:16:28,262 Your own bairns can be forgiven anything. 218 00:16:30,262 --> 00:16:32,261 There's more food if you want it. 219 00:16:32,262 --> 00:16:38,261 You know what would help the way I'm feeling? A little drink. 220 00:16:38,262 --> 00:16:40,262 You know, just to soothe the soul a touch. 221 00:16:45,262 --> 00:16:48,261 It's been on my mind all day. You're wrong, John. 222 00:16:48,262 --> 00:16:51,261 My motives for staging the tea party in Ladieswear are the right ones. 223 00:16:51,262 --> 00:16:55,261 More than anything, our customers like to see each other shopping. 224 00:16:55,262 --> 00:16:57,261 I want to feed their jealousies 225 00:16:57,262 --> 00:16:59,261 and the tittle-tattle that comes with them. 226 00:16:59,262 --> 00:17:01,261 If Mrs Spiro buys the summer hat with ribbons, 227 00:17:01,262 --> 00:17:03,261 then Mrs Vaughan wants the same hat. 228 00:17:03,262 --> 00:17:06,261 They try to loiter as it is, but they feel conspicuous, 229 00:17:06,262 --> 00:17:09,261 so they leave. I want them to stay. 230 00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:11,261 If there are tables of women watching, 231 00:17:11,262 --> 00:17:14,261 those who are shopping will buy more in order to show off. 232 00:17:14,262 --> 00:17:19,261 You're right. I'm sorry. And will Myrtle be serving the tea? 233 00:17:19,262 --> 00:17:22,261 All she will have to do is take a tray to each table. 234 00:17:22,262 --> 00:17:26,262 I can't ask my girls to do it. Then by all means go ahead. 235 00:17:31,262 --> 00:17:34,261 Tom Weston is intent on expanding the store. 236 00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:37,261 But that's a good thing, isn't it? No, not for us it isn't. 237 00:17:37,262 --> 00:17:40,261 I've been racking my brains to find a way to raise the funds to 238 00:17:40,262 --> 00:17:43,261 buy The Paradise as it stands. 239 00:17:43,262 --> 00:17:47,261 If he builds more, builds along the street, it will be beyond my reach. 240 00:17:47,262 --> 00:17:51,261 I thought I had time on my side. I don't. 241 00:17:51,262 --> 00:17:56,261 Denise, if I was to find a way to act now, soon, 242 00:17:56,262 --> 00:17:58,261 if it was precarious.... 243 00:17:58,262 --> 00:18:01,262 You must take it, John. You must. 244 00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:18,261 We'll need to get you fitted for a new uniform, Myrtle, 245 00:18:18,262 --> 00:18:22,261 if you're to be serving tea and cakes in Ladieswear. 246 00:18:22,262 --> 00:18:27,262 I bloody knew it! I said Denise would not let us down. 247 00:18:29,262 --> 00:18:33,261 Girls! Girls! Wait until you hear about this! 248 00:18:33,262 --> 00:18:36,261 Ooh, you're forgetting yourself, Miss Denise. 249 00:18:36,262 --> 00:18:38,262 Your table's over there. 250 00:18:39,262 --> 00:18:42,261 I'll sit with my friends, if no-one minds. 251 00:18:42,262 --> 00:18:43,261 There's no fathoming your uncle, Denise. 252 00:18:43,262 --> 00:18:46,261 His shop is broken into, the place is a mess. 253 00:18:46,262 --> 00:18:48,261 He finds some tramp woman who's responsible, 254 00:18:48,262 --> 00:18:51,261 swears he'll strangle her. The next time I see him 255 00:18:51,262 --> 00:18:54,261 he's escorting the very same vagabond into his shop for shelter. 256 00:18:54,262 --> 00:18:58,261 Must be that old witch we saw on the street, Susy. What did you call her? 257 00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:00,262 Toothless hag. Smell her from here. 258 00:19:06,262 --> 00:19:09,261 Why would Moray lie to me about where he was today? 259 00:19:09,262 --> 00:19:11,261 Why does it matter? 260 00:19:11,262 --> 00:19:14,262 It matters because he has something to hide. 261 00:19:16,262 --> 00:19:18,261 My darling, there is no secret. 262 00:19:18,262 --> 00:19:22,261 Moray did not come back to serve our purpose. 263 00:19:22,262 --> 00:19:25,261 He intends to try to wrest The Paradise from us. 264 00:19:25,262 --> 00:19:28,261 He has been scurrying around trying to borrow money, 265 00:19:28,262 --> 00:19:30,262 but no-one will so much as consider him. 266 00:19:33,262 --> 00:19:37,261 I have made sure of that. Papa's banking friends know I would be 267 00:19:37,262 --> 00:19:40,261 most upset if any of them so much as considered Moray for a meeting. 268 00:19:40,262 --> 00:19:43,261 Then who was his engagement with today? 269 00:19:43,262 --> 00:19:46,261 It's so beautiful! What are you doing with that? 270 00:19:46,262 --> 00:19:48,261 Will you put it on? Please. 271 00:19:48,262 --> 00:19:50,261 Where did you get it?

I thought she... 274 00:19:55,262 --> 00:19:59,261 You NEVER touch my belongings! Do you know what "never" means?! 275 00:19:59,262 --> 00:20:01,262 It means NOT EVER! 276 00:20:08,262 --> 00:20:10,261 Your papa did not mean to be so harsh, darling girl. 277 00:20:10,262 --> 00:20:15,262 You shocked him, that's all. It's my fault. 278 00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:24,261 Perhaps that tunic has memories for him. 279 00:20:24,262 --> 00:20:25,262 Memories of the war. 280 00:20:27,262 --> 00:20:30,261 I made a mistake.

With cinnamon. 373 00:27:45,262 --> 00:27:48,261 Mrs Weston. Ma'am. Miss Flora. 374 00:27:48,262 --> 00:27:51,261 I want you to utterly spoil Flora today, Denise. 375 00:27:51,262 --> 00:27:55,261 Anything she wants, she can have. It would be our pleasure, ma'am. 376 00:27:55,262 --> 00:27:57,262 Susy, please attend to the young lady. 377 00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:03,262 I will leave it with you while I have a coffee with Moray. 378 00:28:09,262 --> 00:28:12,261 I want one of these dresses with the feathers. 379 00:28:12,262 --> 00:28:15,261 I'm afraid these gowns are for adults, not children. 380 00:28:15,262 --> 00:28:17,261 But I want one. 381 00:28:17,262 --> 00:28:21,261 Let me show you some of the things we have that might be more 382 00:28:21,262 --> 00:28:23,261 suitable for a girl. 383 00:28:23,262 --> 00:28:26,261 I had myself thought of making the extension a jewellery 384 00:28:26,262 --> 00:28:30,261 department. I imagined that as customers 385 00:28:30,262 --> 00:28:32,261 approached along the street the first thing they would see 386 00:28:32,262 --> 00:28:36,261 would be windows bursting with colours and extravagance. 387 00:28:36,262 --> 00:28:39,261 But the cost of stocking the display alone was beyond me. 388 00:28:39,262 --> 00:28:43,261 However, things are different now. 389 00:28:43,262 --> 00:28:48,261 How's your coffee, Katherine? It's fine. It's delicious. 390 00:28:48,262 --> 00:28:51,261 I first discovered cinnamon coffee whilst in, erm, 391 00:28:51,262 --> 00:28:54,261 was it India, Katherine? 392 00:28:54,262 --> 00:28:56,261 No, no, no, I think it was Morocco. It was Ceylon. 393 00:28:56,262 --> 00:29:00,261 Yes, yes! I had the devil to convince Katherine to try it, 394 00:29:00,262 --> 00:29:02,262 but once she did, she could never have enough. 395 00:29:05,262 --> 00:29:08,262 Do you still drink your coffee with cinnamon, Katherine? 396 00:29:13,262 --> 00:29:15,262 Sometimes. Yes, she does. 397 00:29:20,262 --> 00:29:23,261 I've already sourced suppliers for rubies and emeralds, if you'd 398 00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:28,262 care for me to have them call on us with samples and prices, Mr Weston? 399 00:29:33,262 --> 00:29:36,261 I'd planned for all the counters to be made of glass. 400 00:29:36,262 --> 00:29:40,261 And chandeliers, glass lamps, the whole place is like a palace. 401 00:29:40,262 --> 00:29:45,261 So much dazzle sounds positively garish. 402 00:29:45,262 --> 00:29:47,262 Yes, well, perhaps you're right, sir. 403 00:29:51,262 --> 00:29:55,261 I hope your sleep has improved after your travels, Katherine. 404 00:29:55,262 --> 00:29:59,261 I used to tell her it's the coffee, but she wouldn't have it. 405 00:29:59,262 --> 00:30:03,261 If ever a woman could live without sleep... 406 00:30:03,262 --> 00:30:08,261 I was pressed into spending long nights in the garden. 407 00:30:08,262 --> 00:30:11,262 The scent of magnolias under the moon... 408 00:30:19,262 --> 00:30:22,261 I think the new extension should be a food hall, 409 00:30:22,262 --> 00:30:27,261 or shoes or something without sentiment. 410 00:30:27,262 --> 00:30:30,261 I had meant to look over the place with you, Moray. 411 00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:34,261 But you were elsewhere. Let's take a look now. Yes, of course, 412 00:30:34,262 --> 00:30:37,261 although I would not wish to leave your wife with her coffee. 413 00:30:37,262 --> 00:30:38,262 I am ready now. 414 00:30:48,262 --> 00:30:50,261 I want the silver shoes. As I have explained, 415 00:30:50,262 --> 00:30:52,261 we don't have your size, miss. 416 00:30:52,262 --> 00:30:55,261 These ones. I want the dress with the feathers. 417 00:30:55,262 --> 00:30:57,261 You can't have the dress with the feathers. 418 00:30:57,262 --> 00:30:59,261 But that's what I want! 419 00:30:59,262 --> 00:31:01,261 Mama said I could have anything I wanted. 420 00:31:01,262 --> 00:31:04,261 Oh, you're just a spoiled little NOTHING, that's what you are! 421 00:31:04,262 --> 00:31:07,261 You wave your hand and the rest of the world is supposed to pamper you! 422 00:31:07,262 --> 00:31:09,261 Do you even give a thought?! YOU ARE A CHILD! 423 00:31:09,262 --> 00:31:12,261 Susy, go down to the refectory right now! 424 00:31:12,262 --> 00:31:14,261 Come on, Susy! Go on. 425 00:31:14,262 --> 00:31:18,261 I want Mama. I am so sorry, Miss Flora. Let me... 426 00:31:18,262 --> 00:31:21,262 No! I want Mama! I want Mama! 427 00:31:22,262 --> 00:31:25,261 I'm so sorry, ma'am. I don't know why... 428 00:31:25,262 --> 00:31:27,261 Susy is usually such a sweet girl! 429 00:31:27,262 --> 00:31:32,261 I've never before known her to... She's a friend, 430 00:31:32,262 --> 00:31:34,261 usually full of kindness and so eager to please. 431 00:31:34,262 --> 00:31:36,261 Dudley, do you think you could take Flora 432 00:31:36,262 --> 00:31:40,262 outside for a moment for me, please? Of course, ma'am. 433 00:31:52,262 --> 00:31:56,261 What do you propose to do? I will speak to Mr Moray and Mr Dudley... 434 00:31:56,262 --> 00:31:59,262 No. I want to know what YOU intend to do. 435 00:32:00,262 --> 00:32:06,261 You're Head of Ladieswear, are you not? You ARE responsible. 436 00:32:06,262 --> 00:32:10,261 It was you who presided over this humiliation of my child. 437 00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:12,262 THIS child! 438 00:32:13,262 --> 00:32:16,261 What do you propose to do about this girl? 439 00:32:16,262 --> 00:32:18,261 What is her name? Susy, ma'am. 440 00:32:18,262 --> 00:32:21,262 Then answer me, what is your intention? 441 00:32:27,262 --> 00:32:30,261 I will speak with Susy MOST severely. 442 00:32:30,262 --> 00:32:33,262 I will warn her that to address customers in this way... 443 00:32:46,262 --> 00:32:49,261 Can we not do something? There must be a reason Susy was... 444 00:32:49,262 --> 00:32:53,261 There IS a reason. Susy was promoted too early. She's not ready. 445 00:32:53,262 --> 00:32:56,261 But there must be something we can do! These are the most delicate 446 00:32:56,262 --> 00:32:59,261 of times, Denise. I cannot afford to rile Katherine. 447 00:32:59,262 --> 00:33:01,261 We must be seen to follow her will. 448 00:33:01,262 --> 00:33:04,261 It's your job now, Denise. This has to be done. 449 00:33:04,262 --> 00:33:09,262 You wanted this position. It's not all tea parties. 450 00:33:34,262 --> 00:33:36,262 I tried, Susy. 451 00:33:38,262 --> 00:33:39,261 I wanted to avoid this. 452 00:33:39,262 --> 00:33:44,261 But what you did, you've left me with no choice. 453 00:33:44,262 --> 00:33:49,261 When a girl is dismissed, she must leave the premises right away. 454 00:33:49,262 --> 00:33:52,262 You must collect your belongings... and go. 455 00:34:11,262 --> 00:34:15,262 Perhaps stay close by, Susy. We never know what might change. 456 00:34:16,262 --> 00:34:18,262 I have nowhere to stay. 457 00:34:19,262 --> 00:34:22,261 Bishop Street. Mr Myhill. 458 00:34:22,262 --> 00:34:25,262 Tell him Jonas Franks said you might find lodgings with him. 459 00:34:49,262 --> 00:34:51,261 Cakes, madam? 460 00:34:51,262 --> 00:34:53,261 Do I look like a madam to you?! 461 00:34:53,262 --> 00:34:56,261 And THAT looks more like gristle to me than a cake. 462 00:34:56,262 --> 00:34:59,262 I'm practising. Fine teas? Assam? 463 00:35:01,262 --> 00:35:04,261 Darjeeling? Madeira cake? 464 00:35:04,262 --> 00:35:07,262 Aren't I the picture of restraint?! 465 00:35:30,262 --> 00:35:32,261 Denise! 466 00:35:32,262 --> 00:35:35,262 Denise! They all know that Susy brought this on herself. 467 00:35:37,262 --> 00:35:40,261 Their reactions are for show. 468 00:35:40,262 --> 00:35:43,261 To prove to each other they are cronies. Them against us. 469 00:35:43,262 --> 00:35:46,261 It won't last. It's fear, that's all. 470 00:35:46,262 --> 00:35:49,261 You have influence on their lives now. 471 00:35:49,262 --> 00:35:52,261 Act as though you're not to blame. Don't apologise 472 00:35:52,262 --> 00:35:55,261 for what you've done. Let them raise the matter if they want. Not you. 473 00:35:55,262 --> 00:35:58,261 Behave as though you take on your authority 474 00:35:58,262 --> 00:36:01,261 but they are responsible for their own destiny. 475 00:36:01,262 --> 00:36:03,261 Thank you, Mr Dudley. 476 00:36:03,262 --> 00:36:06,261 You do know you're not to blame, don't you, Denise? 477 00:36:06,262 --> 00:36:07,261 But I might have done more. 478 00:36:07,262 --> 00:36:09,261 I saw there was something the matter with Susy. 479 00:36:09,262 --> 00:36:12,262 I wish I could say that it gets easier. 480 00:36:19,262 --> 00:36:23,261 Clara. You were seen in the bays with Mr Weston. 481 00:36:23,262 --> 00:36:25,261 Oh! Is that what you think of me? 482 00:36:25,262 --> 00:36:29,262 Any man in a suit and I'll flutter me eyes and lift me skirts? 483 00:36:30,262 --> 00:36:32,261 What did he want with you? 484 00:36:32,262 --> 00:36:35,261 He asked to put his name on me dance card for the last waltz, 485 00:36:35,262 --> 00:36:38,261 but I told him I was all spoken for. 486 00:36:38,262 --> 00:36:40,261 Then I have no option but to ask 487 00:36:40,262 --> 00:36:43,262 Mr Moray to ask you why you were holding Mr Weston's hand. 488 00:36:51,262 --> 00:36:53,262 He had a pain in his back. 489 00:36:59,262 --> 00:37:00,262 Terrible pain. 490 00:37:02,262 --> 00:37:05,262 Something in his eyes. Something more than pain. 491 00:37:07,262 --> 00:37:10,261 He looked like a man who'd... Yes? 492 00:37:10,262 --> 00:37:14,261 Well, like a man who'd been murdered and was waiting to die, 493 00:37:14,262 --> 00:37:16,262 it was the same as... 494 00:37:18,262 --> 00:37:22,261 Go on, Clara. You're almost done now. 495 00:37:22,262 --> 00:37:25,261 It was the same as the night of the fireworks. 496 00:37:25,262 --> 00:37:26,262 The noise of it. 497 00:37:28,262 --> 00:37:31,262 He was cowering like a frightened child. 498 00:37:35,262 --> 00:37:38,261 Will that do you, Mr Jonas? 499 00:37:38,262 --> 00:37:42,261 Feel better now you've peered into another dark corner of this world? 500 00:37:42,262 --> 00:37:44,262 Thank you, Clara. 501 00:38:33,262 --> 00:38:35,261 When you hide things from me, it is 502 00:38:35,262 --> 00:38:39,261 because you prefer not to face them yourself. 503 00:38:39,262 --> 00:38:43,261 Skulking around with Jonas. Flirting with Katherine. Taunting Tom Weston. 504 00:38:43,262 --> 00:38:45,262 What's going on? 505 00:38:46,262 --> 00:38:48,261 Whatever it is you are doing, 506 00:38:48,262 --> 00:38:51,261 I know how much you want this store back, but if your schemes 507 00:38:51,262 --> 00:38:55,261 can be admitted in good conscience, then you will tell me. 508 00:38:55,262 --> 00:39:00,261 Mr Moray, sir, you wanted a message taking out to Bellville Hall? 509 00:39:00,262 --> 00:39:03,262 Not today, Arthur. Perhaps some other time. 510 00:39:14,262 --> 00:39:18,261 Miss Denise... Please, Jonas, call me Denise. 511 00:39:18,262 --> 00:39:20,261 I prefer to honour the tradition that has been 512 00:39:20,262 --> 00:39:22,261 observed down the years. 513 00:39:22,262 --> 00:39:25,262 You've earned your place, ma'am, the title is a gesture of respect. 514 00:39:27,262 --> 00:39:29,261 Yes. Well, thank you. 515 00:39:29,262 --> 00:39:33,261 If I may... there is much talk of loyalty in a place like this. 516 00:39:33,262 --> 00:39:35,261 Most of it is talk and no more. 517 00:39:35,262 --> 00:39:37,261 I had no wish for Susy to... 518 00:39:37,262 --> 00:39:42,261 Please, ma'am, let me go on. Loyalty is a special gift. 519 00:39:42,262 --> 00:39:46,261 It binds people like no other cause.
