All tickety-boo to start with,
then after the legs descended,
511
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,927
the midwife wrapped the baby in a towel
and let its body hang there.
512
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,851
It was dangling. Still with its head
inside the birth canal.
513
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,089
Yes. That is done to increase
the flexion of the head.
514

SISTER MONICA JOAN:
It increases the risk of asphyxiation.
515
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,647
It is a showman's trick, in my view.
516
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,729

- I don't know.

and passed out.

520
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,887
According to the duty log, you were late
for your first three appointments,
521
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,922
and missed the last two altogether!
522
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,725
Sister Evangelina, Chummy wrote
those entries in the log herself!
523
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,481
- Oh? As if it's something to be proud of?
- Chummy has to walk everywhere.
524
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,887

he gave me chocolate cake with fruit in.
544

He'd given me wine to drink,
and I hadn't liked it.
545
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,329
The cake was supposed
to make the wine taste sweeter,

it could be beautiful...

"Did you think anything like that
could ever come to you?"
556
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,011

You can be angry in the abstract
852
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:16,451
and our Lord will love you
for your righteous indignation.

Even while Mary's condemned as a sinner?

The Church took her baby.
I think it will kill her.

Without a baby, Maw is employable.
857

She could find love.
858
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,091
She could have another child.
859
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,566
And you think that will console her?
860
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,443
It consoles me.

In the meantime,
I'm going to bind your breasts

so we can help stop the flow of milk.
869

I don't want it stopped.
