00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Of course, these things
never happened.

2
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,880
Not in this life.

3
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,720
Argh!

4
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,480
In this life there's a new baby.

5
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Jimmy.

6
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,280
His brother, Teddy, is asleep.

7
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,520
And so is Pamela.

8
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,040
Ursula is trying not to sleep.

<font color="

00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,760

CLOCK TICKS

12
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,040
TICKS GROW LOUDER

13
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,720
URSULA GASPS

14
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,800
SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

15
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,040
DOOR OPENS

16
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,160
What are you doing up?

17
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Can't sleep.

18
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,040
More bad dreams?

19
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,040
<font color="

20
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,280
You know, only very special people
have powerful imaginations.

21
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,040
You're extra interesting.

22
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,040
It's a bit of a burden, but
that's the way to think about it.

23
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,040
I think I dream about dying...

24
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,520
..because I've already died.

25
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,000
<font color="

26
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,480
I assure you, you haven't.

27
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040
I would have definitely noticed.

28
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,040
There's nothing to be afraid of.

29
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720
How was London?
How were your friends?

30
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Boring.

31
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,640
I want Ursula to see a psychiatrist.
<font color="

32
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,000
You talked me out of it before, when
she pushed Bridget down the stairs.

33
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,000
You are not talking me
out of it again.

34
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,800
There's something wrong with her.

35
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,000
She's a little introspective,
that's all. And it's no bad thing.

36
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,480
<font color="
and she has these terrible dreams.

37
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,720
We cannot assume this will just
pass. She'll grow up soon enough

38
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,760
and we need her mentally sound
as she moves through the world.

39
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,240
Let us not forget that

41
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560
who don't have their head
screwed on correctly.

42
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,880
How would we even locate
a psychiatrist?

43
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,480
Major Shawcross in the village
recommends a chap up in London.

44
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,080
<font color="
with very bad nerves.

45
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,040
He mentioned it to me in passing.

46
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,720
The way I heard it,
it was Shawcross that came home

47
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,760
with a bad case of nerves.

48
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,040
I just want her to be happy.

49
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,720
The psychiatrist recommended
<font color="

50
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,480
It was decided that Ursula could
be put on the train by her mother

51
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,720
and met at the other end
by her aunt, Izzie,

52
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,000
even though both Sylvie and Hugh
doubted that Izzie

53
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,920
was sufficiently reliable
<font color="

54
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:01,720
Sylvie disliked Izzie, although
she tolerated her for Hugh's sake.

55
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,360
Don't talk to anybody,
especially to any men.

56
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,640
If Izzie isn't waiting for you
at the platform,

57
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,040
you come straight back home,
<font color="

58
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,800
Izzie had managed to get a job

59
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,240
writing a weekly column
for a newspaper.

60
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:24,000
She wrote under the pseudonym
Delphine Fox

61
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,960
and called the column
Adventures of a Modern Spinster.

62
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,280
Ursula!

63
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,480
<font color="

64
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,320
Two ladies alone in London.
Whatever shall we do?

65
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,080
What adventures lie in wait?

66
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,200
You have to take me
straight to the doctor.

67
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,720
Delighted.

68
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,480
So thrilling.

69
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,440
The talking cure is quite

00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,000
Perhaps don't mention to your father
that I brought the motor.

71
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,720
He seems to have very little
confidence in my abilities,

72
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,720
even though I managed to drive
an ambulance throughout the war,

73
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,040
sans mishap, in another country,
<font color="

74
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,720
Of course, the real reason
he doesn't like me driving

75
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,000
is the little green eyed monster.
Am I right?

76
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,680
What?

77
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Oh, he's jealous.
He wants an automobile himself.

78
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,040
Your mother will not allow it.
<font color="

79
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
I don't know.

80
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,840
Very politic answer.

81
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,720
I'm glad I've been tasked
with the grave responsibility

82
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,720
of shuttling you from A to B.

83
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,480
I know that I am considered by
your mother mad, bad and dangerous

<font color="
special chums. What do you think?

85
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,000
Pamela is a little dull,
all that tennis and cycling.

86
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,080
No wonder she has such
sturdy ankles...

Aargh!

Ursula?

00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,880
I think what we're saying, Izzie...
<font color="

98
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,240
you don't reference our children
in your column.

99
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000
They are not your children.
For goodness' sake.

100
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,480
They are imaginary children
that I've invented

101
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,480
in my persona as Delphine Fox,

00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,160
The column's most awfully popular,
by the way.

104
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,840
Don't even write about
my imaginary children.

105
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Pamela, what are you doing

The Modern Spinster is not
a person from whom anyone

00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,000
with any sense would take advice.
So glad I came.

109
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Besides, you're too young

Izzie, Sylvie and I were wondering
if you might do us a small favour?

00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,160
and deliver her to a Dr Kellet
on Harley Street.

00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,960
What's wrong with the poor darling?
Sick?

Sylvie is worried about Ursula.

00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,320
She seems to think that...

I don't know how to explain it
and I can't really,

123
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,720
but that she has been here before.

124
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,520
She suffers from an extraordinary

Oh.

How did you hear about him?

133
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,160
Were you a patient? No.

134
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,840
A friend put us in touch.

135
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,680
You must have seen some
terrible things in France, Hugh.

Personally...

139
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,400
..I've thought Ursula
should see a psychiatrist

140
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,800
ever since she pushed
the maid down the stairs.

141
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,160
Do you... Do you think that we
<font color="

00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,760
It is odd.

143
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Thrilling, but odd.

144
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,600
Emancipated hem lines?

145
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,880
What does it mean? She's a fool.

146
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,520
It will be a miracle if she meets
that child's train.

147
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,480
She'll forget about it.
<font color="

148
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,320
Do you know why they're really
sending her to London?

149
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,320
They want a doctor to look
in her head?

150
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240
They've realised she's touched.
What are you talking about?

151
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,000
I overheard a discussion.

152
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,000

She's a bit of a worrier.

153
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,480
And so what?
Some people are born that way.

154
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,400
And it bespeaks great intelligence.

155
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,480
I have a belief about Ursula.

156
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,640
You remember she was born
not meant for this Earth.

My belief is that Ursula is at least
partly of the spirit world.

00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,800
Ha! How do you account for her
pushing me down the stairs

160
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,480
to save me from the influenza?

161
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,880
<font color="
for mischief,

for your nonsense right now.

Irish fiddle-faddle.

She has the sixth sense

165
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,680
and there's no doctor in the world
that can magic away that.

Far from it. I'm from Maidstone.

179
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,760
I visited St Petersburg
before the Revolution.

180
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,000
<font color="
on the telephone,

181
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,160
she told me that you often dream
you're dying.

182
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,480
She told me that you once
confided in her

183
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,520
that you had been here before.

184
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Is that right?

185
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Do you think you have
<font color="

186
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Sometimes I think that.

187
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,760
Tea?

188
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
You see, I remember you saying
"Tea?" to me before.

189
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,840
Just like that.

190
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,760
Yes, I said it last week.

191
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,240
Oh.

192
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Of course.

193
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Snow?

194
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,080
<font color="

195
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Interesting.

196
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,920
Everything's familiar somehow...

197
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,760
..no matter where I am
or what I'm doing.

198
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,640
Inside, I have this terrible fear...

199
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,240
..all the time.

200
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,040
A darkness within?

201
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,240
From a scientific point of view,
<font color="

202
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,120
responsible for memory
has a little flaw.

203
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480
A neurological problem

204
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,080
that leads you to think
you are repeating experiences.

205
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,600
So I'm not really dying
and being reborn.

206
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,680
I have no idea.

207
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,440
<font color="
in your brain

208
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,000
that causes you to believe
you have been here before.

209
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Perhaps you have been here before
and your dreams are memories

210
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,240
and reminiscences - premonitions.

211
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,520
We may never know.

00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120
<font color="

Perhaps you're remembering
another life.

00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,880
Of course, the disciples
of the Buddha

215
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,720
don't believe you keep coming back
as the same person

216
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,760
in the same circumstances,
<font color="

217
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,600
..most ancient religions
adhered to an idea of circularity.

218
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,040
The snake with its tail
in its mouth and so on.

219
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480
Are you cured yet?

220
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,800
Must be by now. It's been an age.

221
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Come on. I told your father
<font color="

222
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,520
Let's have some fun.

223
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,480

00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,320

00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,480


226
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,000
You're turning out
to be quite pretty.

227
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,720
You must have it cut.

He's really very good.

229
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,000
You're in danger of looking
like a milkmaid

00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,480
when really, I think you're going to
turn out to be deliciously wicked.

Listen, I know that I am
<font color="

241
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,280
mad, bad and dangerous to know,
but...

242
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,720
..I thought we could be special
chums. What do you think?

243
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Pamela is a little dull,
all that tennis and cycling.

244

No wonder she has

Oh, and the boys are... Well, boys.

247
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,600
But you are interesting, Ursula.

00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,520
What do you think?

249
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Yes.

Special chums.

Nice time with Izzie?

252
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,040
Yes.

You did it.

00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,160
Your mother considers it
ruinously expensive.

256
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,400
She's not to be trusted, you know.

257
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Who? Izzie.

258
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Press that.

259
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,480
ENGINE STARTS

260
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,560
Right.

261
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,240
<font color="
parsimonious, I'm afraid.

262
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000
If she had her way, we'd live
on her eggs and chickens.

263
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,280
Whereas I, on the other hand,
have seemed to become less prudent.

264
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,000
Not an admirable trait
for a banker, she says,

Ursula saw Dr Kellet

Eventually, Sylvie and Hugh

to discuss life's mysteries
with their daughter

Ursula was noticeably
more cheerful

On the morning of her 16th birthday,

274
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280
the world felt crisp and fresh.

275
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,040
She was growing up.

Is it Ursula's birthday today?

00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Isn't that why you're here?

283
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040
No. Coincidence.

Ah, chaps, these are my brothers,
Teddy and Jimmy.

Gilbert, Howard, don't annoy them.

Call me Howie. Everyone does.

289
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,000

I know.

292
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,800
Yet we have managed five children.

293
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,920
Sisters?

294
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,720
With names.

295
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,520
I'm Pamela. This is Ursula.

296
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,240
Gilbert and Howard, you'll have to
double up in Mrs Glover's old room.

Why are you so gimpy?

301

Twisted my ankle. Hockey game.

I've seen a snail move quicker
than that.

308
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,240
The fact that Howie was American
gave him a special kind of glamour.

309
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Pamela was more drawn to Gilbert,
which surprised Ursula.

Because life is an adventure,
of course.

362
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,080
I would say it's more
of an endurance race

363
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,160
or an obstacle course.

364
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,960
All right, dear.
Not that bad, surely.

365
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,640

I have a publisher.

00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,480
I have money, Hugh.

You don't need to worry
about me any more.

I'm looking for the ball.
It was your kid brother's.

I think we lost it in the...
Shrubbery.

377
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,320
How old are you?

378
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,040
16.

379
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,520
It's my birthday.

380
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,720
You ate cake.

It's freezing out here.
I can warm you up.

383
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,720
"Kiss" seemed too courtly a word
for what Howie was doing.

384
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,480
He prodded his enormous tongue
like an ox's

385
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,640
and she was amazed to realise
<font color="

386
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,480
to open her mouth
and let the tongue in.

387

Howie!

Howie!

Coming!

390
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,520
But she decided it didn't matter.

391
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,000
To be kissed on her 16th birthday,

<font color="

393
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,840
was still a considerable
accomplishment.

394
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,920
Ursula thought of Howie quite often.

395
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,240
It was not so much
the physical Howie

396
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,240
but the fact that he had been
thoughtful enough

00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,120
Hey, kid!

What are they doing here?
I don't know.

We're going to London
to help with the strike.

401
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,120
I didn't realise your politics put
you on the side of the workers.

00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,840
We're going to drive buses

404
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,640
and whatever else it takes
to keep the country running.

405
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,480
I didn't know you could
drive a train, Maurice.

I'll be a stoker, then - put the

They're not called stokers,
they're called firemen,

00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,120
and it's a very skilled job.

409
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,080
I hear you didn't get into
Cambridge. Probably best.

410
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:18,880
We don't have enough scones.
For God's sake!

00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,040
I'm not hungry.

413
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,280
I was looking for a bathroom.

414
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,160
Well, we only have one.
It's not up these stairs...

415
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Pretty girl.

00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,520
No... Sh.

is you don't talk of it afterwards.

427
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,720
Feel like going for a walk?

428
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,520
No. Thank you.

00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,520

Questions would have been
intolerable.

I need to talk to you about
something uncomfortable.

Things will be different.

437
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,600
However...

438
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,920
..we mustn't eat our worries.

439
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,120
It's just puppy fat. Even I had it.

440
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,520
But it won't go away by itself.
It has to be addressed.

This is the London train.

I know it's odd, but...

00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,280
..she just turned up
on the doorstep, the lamb.

00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,680
I think she wanted to see me.

447
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,280
Pay a visit.

00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,720

Nothing risque.

Now, don't be such

Remove your shoes and undergarments.

Ursula supposed the baby

with a certain amount of difficulty.

466
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,240
She presumed it would be wrapped

not to have one.

543
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,040
There's really no use in
<font color="

544
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,760
Izzie helped me with the baby.

545
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,760
An abortion? An illegal abortion?

546
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,680
Gosh, no wonder Mummy's angry.

547
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,280
Strange, how?

548
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,880
It was very...

549
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,520
..quick.

550
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,160
Did he force you?

551
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,280
You should tell.

552
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,760
<font color="

553
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,760
He's gone back to America.

554
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,040
I don't want to think
or talk about it any more.

555
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,520
Please.

556
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,720
I may as well see what
the chickens have left us.

557
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,520
I'll go with you.

558
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,440
I'm not going back to school.

559
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,440
<font color="

560
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,680
I'll take a secretarial course.

561
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,920
I found one that's very reasonable.

562
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,920
I think that's very wise.

563
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,040
Also, I think I'd like
to see Dr Kellet again.

564
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,040
He's retired, I believe.

565
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,320
Did he leave a forwarding address?

566
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,840

No peeking.

573
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,320
The only way to stop looking
at the keys

574
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,720
and slowing down your speeds

575
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,760
is to type blindfolded.

Dear sir.

577
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,480
I brought your letter
<font color="

578
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,040
at their meeting yesterday.

579
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,040
But after some discussion...

580
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:59,520
..they were obliged
to postpone further...

581
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,040
..consideration of the matter...

582
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,280
..until the next
directors' meeting...

583
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,240
<font color="

584
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,520
She got a job as a secretary
in a big importing company.

585
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,040
She made no friends.

586
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,280
Her first glass of wine
was an experiment.

587
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,720
It was a private act.

588
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:26,520
Intimate, solitary
<font color="

589
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,160
She was a secret drunk
in a matter of weeks.

Oh, my. How awful for you.
Let me help you.

592
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,760
The day Ursula met Derek Oliphant,
<font color="

593
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,720
She simply hadn't seen
the pavement slab.

594
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,480
Her hands were full
of grocery shopping,

595
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,720
acquired hastily in a lunch hour,

596
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:29,240
and her instinct was to save
the groceries rather than herself.

597
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,680
<font color="
your nice peach scarf.

598
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,320
Is that the colour?

599
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,040
Or is it salmon?

600
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,520
Three months later,
Ursula and Derek were married.

601
00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:00,760
"She's mistaken gratitude for love,"
Sylvie thought as she watched them.

602
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,480
<font color="
when she was 18,

603
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,880
not long after her family
descended into poverty.

604
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,040
She had met him at
the post office counter -

605
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,520
a rising star in the prosperous
world of banking.

606
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,040
The epitome of bourgeois
<font color="

607
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,000
She was beautiful but penniless.

608
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,000
Hugh had offered her a life.

00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,520
In sickness and in health.
