Truly. 685 00:49:43,914 --> 00:49:47,078 But you said yourself your uncle's shop could not support you. 686 00:49:48,519 --> 00:49:50,181 We'll find a way to survive. 687 00:49:50,588 --> 00:49:52,750 But you're part of The Paradise now, Denise. 688 00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,053 I'll still see you. I will just be across the street. 689 00:50:00,397 --> 00:50:01,922 I promise. 690 00:50:02,299 --> 00:50:07,135 It makes no sense to leave because of something your uncle's done. 691 00:50:07,638 --> 00:50:11,040 Clara, can we be friends now? 692 00:50:11,542 --> 00:50:15,638 Please. It would mean so much to me. 693 00:50:15,946 --> 00:50:18,575 It was you that said that it is the chance of where you are born 694 00:50:18,616 --> 00:50:23,850 that gives you a bond. Can that be our kinship? Shop girls. 695 00:50:25,256 --> 00:50:28,090 I so dearly want to be your friend. 696 00:50:34,832 --> 00:50:38,234 I suppose there will be a position in Ladieswear now. 697 00:50:48,812 --> 00:50:50,405 Denise? What are you doing? 698 00:50:53,918 --> 00:50:54,942 Denise? 699 00:50:57,454 --> 00:51:01,619 We are together now, Uncle. Family.

Gone, sir. Flown away. 706 00:51:43,434 --> 00:51:45,994 I opened the cage to stand her on my hand and the door was open 707 00:51:46,370 --> 00:51:48,396 and she flew away. 708 00:51:53,744 --> 00:51:58,307 It took courage to admit that. Let's see what we can do. 709 00:51:58,515 --> 00:52:02,179 Am I not dismissed, sir? I spoke to a man up at the Old Moor, 710 00:52:02,486 --> 00:52:05,456 he knows all there is to know about birds. I think we can get her back. 711 00:52:15,065 --> 00:52:16,727 It's my doing, isn't it? 712 00:52:17,034 --> 00:52:21,130 I am the reason you left, the reason you have no job, no money? 713 00:52:21,605 --> 00:52:24,541 Uncle, I don't suppose you will understand, 714 00:52:24,875 --> 00:52:29,677 but I promise you it is not so. I left The Paradise because... 715 00:52:32,783 --> 00:52:35,412 Because it pained me to remain there. 716 00:52:38,088 --> 00:52:42,219 If Bertie is pining, Sally will be too. 717 00:52:49,333 --> 00:52:52,735 Sally!

What they can afford 735 00:54:21,658 --> 00:54:23,456 when the impulse takes them. 736 00:54:23,694 --> 00:54:24,718 Neckties. 737 00:54:24,995 --> 00:54:27,692 Well, I will make as splendid a job of making them as any man. 738 00:54:28,198 --> 00:54:31,293 We could display them out on a table outside of the shop. 739 00:54:31,335 --> 00:54:35,170 What, on the street? Isn't that no better than a market stall? 740 00:54:35,305 --> 00:54:38,275 Perhaps. But it will put food in our bellies 741 00:54:38,542 --> 00:54:40,702 and we might earn enough to paint the front of the shop 742 00:54:40,844 --> 00:54:43,939 if we work at it. We could make pillow cases... 743 00:54:44,214 --> 00:54:45,273 Pillow cases?! 744 00:54:45,382 --> 00:54:47,112 Embroidered. 745 00:54:47,384 --> 00:54:51,048 Uncle, will you trust me to steer things along for a little while? 746 00:54:54,491 --> 00:54:56,050 I will. 747 00:55:00,531 --> 00:55:03,365 Mr Dudley, I would like to go back to haberdashery. 748 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,297 But, you love the birds. 749 00:55:06,503 --> 00:55:09,564 Buttons don't fly away.

You caused Edmund Lovett to attack you! 760 00:56:14,137 --> 00:56:16,216 You said yourself you were fearful of what he might do 761 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:18,402 to lash out at you. I did not ask you to do this. 762 00:56:18,575 --> 00:56:20,339 You did not need to ask, sir. 763 00:56:20,544 --> 00:56:24,845 How dare you!
