Oh, it is good-hearted of you, Denise. 87 00:07:08,228 --> 00:07:10,629 We all know that Myrtle nags away to come front of house. 88 00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:14,562 But good-heartedness is not the best quality for running a department. 89 00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:19,001 Myrtle must never be let loose on our customers. Cakes in Ladieswear? 90 00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:21,434 Do you honestly suppose 91 00:07:21,608 --> 00:07:25,067 that is the impression we are trying to make?

You need to step into the role now. 94 00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:34,982 That means making decisions that others won't like. 95 00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:36,585 You have to be strong. 96 00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:39,136 In the end, they will respect you, but to begin with, you can't 97 00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:42,024 let yourself worry whether they'll like you or not. 98 00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:12,052 Miss Denise, are these hats to go on display? 99 00:08:12,359 --> 00:08:14,123 Yes, Susy.

Susy has a position. 108 00:08:45,892 --> 00:08:47,292 What's Susy got that I haven't? 109 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,261 She shared a room with you, is that it? 110 00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:53,591 - I so want us to remain friends. - Friends?

But you had to love her. 209 00:16:35,895 --> 00:16:38,387 She's not much of a daughter to do such a thing. 210 00:16:38,531 --> 00:16:41,592 Oh, I was a burden to her, I know I was. 211 00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:44,633 A girl can't live only to take care of her sick ma. 212 00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:53,109 I just want to tell her that... that I am on me feet 213 00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,513 and she don't have to look after me. Are you searching for her? 214 00:16:56,983 --> 00:16:59,282 I've found her. In this city? 215 00:16:59,418 --> 00:17:00,545 In this street. 216 00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,914 She wrote to me sister, and I was 217 00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:06,960 so glad to hear that the child has a good life for herself now. 218 00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:09,928 For herself, yeah! Not a care for her mother! 219 00:17:09,996 --> 00:17:12,431 Your own bairns can be forgiven anything. 220 00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:17,161 There's more food if you want it. 221 00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:22,698 You know what would help the way I'm feeling? A little drink. 222 00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:26,144 You know, just to soothe the soul a touch. 223 00:17:30,316 --> 00:17:33,411 It's been on my mind all day. You're wrong, John. 224 00:17:33,586 --> 00:17:37,023 My motives for staging the tea party in Ladieswear are the right ones. 225 00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:40,819 More than anything, our customers like to see each other shopping. 226 00:17:41,093 --> 00:17:42,721 I want to feed their jealousies 227 00:17:42,929 --> 00:17:44,795 and the tittle-tattle that comes with them. 228 00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,329 If Mrs Spiro buys the summer hat with ribbons, 229 00:17:47,633 --> 00:17:49,397 then Mrs Vaughan wants the same hat. 230 00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:52,468 They try to loiter as it is, but they feel conspicuous, 231 00:17:52,705 --> 00:17:55,038 so they leave. I want them to stay. 232 00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:57,070 If there are tables of women watching, 233 00:17:57,343 --> 00:18:00,609 those who are shopping will buy more in order to show off. 234 00:18:00,947 --> 00:18:06,147 You're right. I'm sorry. And will Myrtle be serving the tea? 235 00:18:06,552 --> 00:18:09,021 All she will have to do is take a tray to each table. 236 00:18:09,255 --> 00:18:13,386 I can't ask my girls to do it. Then by all means go ahead. 237 00:18:18,197 --> 00:18:20,962 Tom Weston is intent on expanding the store. 238 00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:24,396 But that's a good thing, isn't it? No, not for us it isn't. 239 00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:28,032 I've been racking my brains to find a way to raise the funds to 240 00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:30,300 buy The Paradise as it stands. 241 00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:34,945 If he builds more, builds along the street, it will be beyond my reach. 242 00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:38,743 I thought I had time on my side. I don't. 243 00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:44,086 Denise, if I was to find a way to act now, soon, 244 00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:46,588 if it was precarious... 245 00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:49,819 You must take it, John. You must. 246 00:19:04,944 --> 00:19:07,573 We'll need to get you fitted for a new uniform, Myrtle, 247 00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,806 if you're to be serving tea and cakes in Ladieswear. 248 00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:15,979 I bloody knew it! I said Denise would not let us down. 249 00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:22,795 Girls! Girls! Wait until you hear about this! 250 00:19:23,129 --> 00:19:26,031 Ooh, you're forgetting yourself, Miss Denise. 251 00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:27,894 Your table's over there. 252 00:19:29,301 --> 00:19:31,702 I'll sit with my friends, if no-one minds. 253 00:19:32,038 --> 00:19:33,870 There's no fathoming your uncle, Denise. 254 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,236 His shop is broken into, the place is a mess. 255 00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:38,876 He finds some tramp woman who's responsible, 256 00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:41,546 swears he'll strangle her. The next time I see him 257 00:19:41,814 --> 00:19:44,909 he's escorting the very same vagabond into his shop for shelter. 258 00:19:45,117 --> 00:19:49,350 Must be that old witch we saw on the street, Susy. What did you call her? 259 00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:51,682 Toothless hag. Smell her from here. 260 00:19:57,630 --> 00:20:00,498 Why would Moray lie to me about where he was today? 261 00:20:00,833 --> 00:20:02,392 Why does it matter? 262 00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:05,999 It matters because he has something to hide. 263 00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:10,004 My darling, there is no secret. 264 00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:14,040 Moray did not come back to serve our purpose. 265 00:20:14,413 --> 00:20:17,076 He intends to try to wrest The Paradise from us. 266 00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:20,309 He has been scurrying around trying to borrow money, 267 00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:23,216 but no-one will so much as consider him. 268 00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:29,226 I have made sure of that. Papa's banking friends know I would be 269 00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:32,830 most upset if any of them so much as considered Moray for a meeting. 270 00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:36,298 Then who was his engagement with today? 271 00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:39,462 - It's so beautiful! - What are you doing with that? 272 00:20:39,739 --> 00:20:41,173 Will you put it on?
