I particularly 619 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,740 like these gowns, the ones that Evie designed. 620 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,410 Miss Evangeline does not design for the House of Duroc. 621 00:37:59,820 --> 00:38:01,990 No, but she gives you some jolly good ideas. 622 00:38:01,991 --> 00:38:05,409 Ideas, Miss Beatrice, are just the beginning of creativity. 623 00:38:05,410 --> 00:38:08,480 It is the house which developed them to their full potential. 624 00:38:08,610 --> 00:38:13,469 Fine. In that case, the house may put its name to them, as indeed it already 625 00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:14,520 done. 626 00:38:15,170 --> 00:38:18,780 And Miss Evangeline would be happy to accept a fee for her original idea. 627 00:38:19,150 --> 00:38:20,200 What? 628 00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:24,130 It is almost time for the show, Mr. Duroc. 629 00:38:25,290 --> 00:38:27,310 Later will do.

Come and see. It wasn't. Your pen pinched it. 639 00:39:01,770 --> 00:39:03,459 Well, she bought it in the war. 640 00:39:03,460 --> 00:39:07,019 She had some extraordinary idea that she was going to make her own table napkins 641 00:39:07,020 --> 00:39:07,739 or something. 642 00:39:07,740 --> 00:39:10,030 You know, her contribution to the war effort. 643 00:39:10,031 --> 00:39:13,419 Never used it as far as I know. We thought it might come in handy for you. 644 00:39:13,420 --> 00:39:15,839 It's light, you see, so you can put it wherever you like. 645 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,890 Well, I can keep it. 646 00:39:16,891 --> 00:39:17,999 I see. Why not? 647 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,240 Oh, yeah, I'd like that. 648 00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:20,790 How does it work? 649 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,810 I'll show you. The thing is, Tilly, it's a bit tricky to use. 650 00:39:23,811 --> 00:39:27,269 It needs someone who knows what they're doing. So, well, if I were you, I 651 00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:29,740 wouldn't let B and D be muck about with it too much. 652 00:39:30,010 --> 00:39:31,060 Oh, no, Miss Penn. 653 00:39:31,390 --> 00:39:33,130 I'm glad to hear such good care of me. 654 00:39:35,010 --> 00:39:36,090 Thank you so much. 655 00:39:38,050 --> 00:39:41,370 Making quite a name for themselves, I hear, your girls. 656 00:39:41,630 --> 00:39:46,030 I believe Mr. Duroc is very pleased with them. Not what I heard. 657 00:39:46,490 --> 00:39:48,810 I heard the old boy was simply furious. 658 00:39:49,590 --> 00:39:52,490 Apparently, they wanted more money or something. 659 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,330 I didn't know that. 660 00:39:54,940 --> 00:39:55,990 Daphne told me. 661 00:39:56,820 --> 00:39:58,720 Mind you, that's nothing to go by. 662 00:39:58,721 --> 00:40:03,359 Daphne looks you straight in the eye and tells you the most appalling fibs these 663 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,160 days. I don't know what's got into her. 664 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,020 Perhaps it's all the late nights at those clubs she frequents. Possibly. 665 00:40:10,180 --> 00:40:11,230 Possibly. 666 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,900 Of course, you're terribly lucky. In what way? 667 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,590 Well, having abandoned Beatrice right on the doorstep, so to speak. 668 00:40:19,740 --> 00:40:24,280 Spencer said they did her girl privately, saved her an absolute 669 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,920 You should have them do a little something for you. 670 00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:40,220 You'd better not feel guilty about doing private work any more. 671 00:40:40,540 --> 00:40:42,360 Not after the way you rocked the haze. 672 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,740 That's Mr. Vines, I don't know. Who's that? 673 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:47,370 Jean Monval. 674 00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:49,150 Look at it. 675 00:40:49,900 --> 00:40:50,950 It's all right. 676 00:40:51,340 --> 00:40:52,960 All right?

You know, give the troops a little 684 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,360 of what they fancy to cheer them up. 685 00:41:14,361 --> 00:41:17,539 But honestly, if that were not to tell Miss Longman, the war's been over in 686 00:41:17,540 --> 00:41:19,760 three years. Why don't you tell her? 687 00:41:20,980 --> 00:41:23,460 Oh, Tilly, leave that. I'll put it away. 688 00:41:23,461 --> 00:41:25,539 Oh, that's quite all right, Miss B. 689 00:41:25,540 --> 00:41:27,770 I can manage it very well on my own, thank you. 690 00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:30,230 That's Piggy. 691 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:47,079 Evie's just giving us all a letter on female emancipation. I am not. Glad to 692 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,980 hear it. Can't bear a sampanated woman. They do nag one, sir. 693 00:41:49,981 --> 00:41:53,019 Now, are you sure you don't mind being left on your own this evening? Of course 694 00:41:53,020 --> 00:41:56,279 not. You can come with us if you like. We weren't planning on doing any sordid 695 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,460 noodling or anything. 696 00:41:58,020 --> 00:41:59,620 Piggy!

Why, do you know how it is? She lives with her mother. He's in ghastly 717 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,140 rooms, nowhere else to go. 718 00:43:46,740 --> 00:43:51,319 So, here I am, being forced entirely against my will to go and have a drink 719 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,570 listen to some jazz with some thoroughly dissolute companions. 720 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,210 Oh. 721 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,330 Do you... 722 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,820 Welcome to come along if you're to loose end. 723 00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:01,380 No, thank you. 724 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,400 I've, um...

I've just rung the bell to the top flat. 730 00:44:24,260 --> 00:44:25,480 Strange I didn't hear it. 731 00:44:25,481 --> 00:44:29,209 Well, maybe it's still not working. It wasn't the last time I came. 732 00:44:29,210 --> 00:44:30,650 Never mind. I've just gone out. 733 00:44:31,070 --> 00:44:33,510 Yes, but... It's all right.
