It just doesn't work. 128 00:14:08,741 --> 00:14:13,497 I boil water all day, all my money is spent on detergent... 129 00:14:13,662 --> 00:14:17,623 my hands are full of cracks from wringing diapers. 130 00:14:20,465 --> 00:14:25,257 Is he okay? -He's a bit frail. 131 00:14:25,427 --> 00:14:29,819 More of a jockey than a dock worker. Are you still feeding yourself? 132 00:14:29,987 --> 00:14:34,666 Yes, but I also give a bottle sometimes because he always wants more. 133 00:14:34,829 --> 00:14:41,271 Sorry. I know that's not allowed. -Babies don't follow rules. 134 00:14:42,513 --> 00:14:48,224 I'll put you on the list. We come every day just drop by until it calms down a bit. 135 00:14:51,515 --> 00:14:56,671 This is Martin's birth weight. He is gained half a pound in four weeks. 136 00:14:56,837 --> 00:15:02,994 Bottle feeding. Breast every four hours. But do you think those mothers are listening? 137 00:15:03,158 --> 00:15:07,120 Ladies.

That has always been the case and otherwise it is difficult for the mothers. 143 00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:35,487 Absolute. And Thursday, at no extra cost. 144 00:15:35,650 --> 00:15:40,773 Now we can not only provide care, but also provide information. 145 00:15:40,932 --> 00:15:45,165 parenting courses, nutrition, cooking, exercise. 146 00:15:45,333 --> 00:15:48,883 The possibilities are endless. -That's fine, yes. 147 00:15:48,884 --> 00:15:55,188 I think it's a good idea. Tuesdays are otherwise just rounds and boiling urine. 148 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:59,858 We can never learn other things. -Like nutrition. 149 00:16:00,134 --> 00:16:02,134 People think orange jam is full of vitamins. 150 00:16:02,436 --> 00:16:06,095 Wouldn't it be nice to have music lessons? or organize dance lessons? 151 00:16:06,095 --> 00:16:10,010 Nice?

I make an inventory of my books. 154 00:16:19,266 --> 00:16:24,313 Very tiring, for sure. Why not take them all? 155 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,236 There's Leicester cheese on your bread. And a few radishes. 156 00:16:36,403 --> 00:16:41,684 You haven't made any figures, have you? I've been teased about it quite a bit. 157 00:16:41,846 --> 00:16:48,799 For the cheerful note. Eating at night is always so sad. I remember that well. 158 00:16:52,210 --> 00:16:53,962 Your thermos. 159 00:16:58,372 --> 00:17:00,408 Take care of yourself. 160 00:17:04,013 --> 00:17:09,043 I have enough to do. I still have to finish those decorative pillows. 161 00:18:27,745 --> 00:18:29,795 Hello, House Nonatus. 162 00:18:30,545 --> 00:18:33,518 I never thought I would be so happy to hear the phone ringing. 163 00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:35,019 Hall... 164 00:18:42,066 --> 00:18:46,371 I just continued my round but had to testing the phone which still doesn't work. 165 00:18:46,904 --> 00:18:50,659 I have something that will cheer you up. -Quick then. 166 00:18:51,301 --> 00:18:54,797 Today marks exactly 6 months since we interact with each other. 167 00:18:55,125 --> 00:18:58,916 I'm really looking forward to this phone booth decorate with balloons. 168 00:18:59,466 --> 00:19:05,867 I'm on duty, Alec. -Say that again... but a little more firmly. 169 00:19:22,286 --> 00:19:24,713 What do you think? 170 00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:27,247 It can get through with it. 171 00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:39,740 Something's wrong. He still runs around like that and a moment later he coughs it all together. 172 00:19:39,904 --> 00:19:46,617 It's not warm, but still. The doctor can check them both out... 173 00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:52,146 and since you're giving the bottle, I'll take a look whether everything has been properly sterilized. 174 00:19:52,309 --> 00:19:56,939 Do you think I'm not clean? I've been boiling water all day. 175 00:19:57,111 --> 00:20:02,185 I have no doubt about that. But you have to wash everything in the same sink. 176 00:20:02,351 --> 00:20:07,062 Then contamination can occur. -They always have something. 177 00:20:07,232 --> 00:20:11,466 Lan coughs a lot. Because he was born in winter, I thought. 178 00:20:11,635 --> 00:20:16,871 But Martin came in the spring and he is even worse. His diapers are a disaster. 179 00:20:17,035 --> 00:20:22,396 There are so many that Billy has to help. -I better not tell that at the shipyard. 180 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,430 Sister? 181 00:20:30,602 --> 00:20:33,992 When will the doctor come? Should I go there myself? 182 00:20:34,162 --> 00:20:38,998 I ask if he will come by tomorrow. It's not urgent. Just strange. 183 00:20:39,165 --> 00:20:45,604 When I was little, my brother died. He was four and a quarter. 184 00:20:45,766 --> 00:20:49,840 My mother told me to add that. -How bad. 185 00:20:50,009 --> 00:20:54,720 I sometimes think he's not dead would have gone if he had been alive now. 186 00:20:55,970 --> 00:20:58,201 Everything is better now, right? 187 00:20:59,891 --> 00:21:01,847 Yes. That's true. 188 00:21:16,216 --> 00:21:22,614 No technicians yet. I keep thinking that they call so that they are coming. 189 00:21:22,779 --> 00:21:28,139 But they don't, because that's not possible. And if it could, it wouldn't have to. 190 00:21:28,301 --> 00:21:32,376 An almost Aristotelian logic. 191 00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:50,343 Maternity and baby clinic 192 00:21:54,029 --> 00:21:57,785 Shelagh? Are these the only ladies left? 193 00:21:57,952 --> 00:22:03,232 Yes. There were 21 no-shows. Nine of them have stayed away before. 194 00:22:03,392 --> 00:22:09,789 No, but. What a ballroom. Am I too late for some vitamin drops? 195 00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:15,475 No. And we can weigh it, measure it, prescribe milk and test your eyes. 196 00:22:15,638 --> 00:22:19,108 There is no line and you will receive our full attention. 197 00:22:19,278 --> 00:22:23,479 Sorry. I was in church cleaning kneeling cushions. 198 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,950 Hardly anyone showed up. 199 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:31,242 The people don't know where the community center is. Or what it is. 200 00:22:31,402 --> 00:22:37,400 They are used to parish houses. something named after a saint. 201 00:22:37,564 --> 00:22:41,275 It is permanent. Time for pamphlets, I think. 202 00:22:41,446 --> 00:22:46,396 We don't have time for that. -You may not, but I do. 203 00:22:46,567 --> 00:22:51,962 I have loads of time. To put away. I'm dying in time and I would like to give it to you. 204 00:22:55,130 --> 00:22:59,841 Sister? Can I ask something? about Sister Monica Joan? 205 00:23:00,011 --> 00:23:04,210 When she comes with cake, you run off like a hare. 206 00:23:04,372 --> 00:23:08,084 It's a trick to fool the unsuspecting. 207 00:23:09,937 --> 00:23:12,609 It's not about cake. 208 00:23:21,201 --> 00:23:23,472 She may be my sister in Christ, 209 00:23:23,472 --> 00:23:29,015 but she would drive even a Methodist to madness. 210 00:23:31,666 --> 00:23:39,676 I put Astley Cooper's biography next to Rousseau's memoirs. 211 00:23:39,676 --> 00:23:43,966 because I am convinced that they also talked to each other during their lives. 212 00:23:44,717 --> 00:23:49,524 The Dewey decimal system is, after all, too unimaginative. 213 00:23:49,525 --> 00:23:53,200 and probably speaks the most to pedantic minds. 214 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,717 You have cut pages from the Bible. 215 00:23:57,884 --> 00:24:01,558 Only some parts of the Apocrypha. 216 00:24:01,723 --> 00:24:06,845 That's not blasphemy. The Apocrypha itself is blasphemous. 217 00:24:09,286 --> 00:24:16,080 I want some urine. Now. If you are lost where the toilet is: Opposite here. 218 00:24:16,248 --> 00:24:20,960 You think I'm confused and looks for the cause in my bladder. 219 00:24:21,130 --> 00:24:23,167 You're like Plato... 220 00:24:23,331 --> 00:24:28,725 who thought the womb was wandering and caused mental illness. 221 00:24:28,893 --> 00:24:34,572 I put Plato next to Mr Freud. Also such an ignorant one. 222 00:24:34,735 --> 00:24:38,808 Sister. You have all winter already have problems with your bladder. 223 00:24:38,976 --> 00:24:43,050 With the smallest infection it could go wrong again. 224 00:24:43,217 --> 00:24:47,372 But now it's not wrong. I feel fine. 225 00:24:48,620 --> 00:24:52,853 I have a goal. 226 00:24:56,222 --> 00:24:58,180 I see that, yes. 227 00:25:02,186 --> 00:25:06,259 I've never read much. I prefer tackling. 228 00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:14,348 I've never had a thing for books. -Books are my friends. 229 00:25:14,508 --> 00:25:18,741 I don't want to forget what they taught me. 230 00:25:18,909 --> 00:25:24,430 I am aware of that my memory sometimes needs some updating... 231 00:25:27,073 --> 00:25:29,952 refreshed. 232 00:25:30,114 --> 00:25:37,067 But once you know something, you can never not know that again. 233 00:25:38,996 --> 00:25:40,954 Or yes? 234 00:25:41,768 --> 00:25:43,499 No, sister. 235 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,671 Be careful with that building. 236 00:25:53,122 --> 00:25:55,876 Don't drop it on your foot. 237 00:26:07,753 --> 00:26:09,977 Come on, girls. 238 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,597 Three pneumonias in six months is too much. 239 00:26:18,163 --> 00:26:22,793 There were more. But we wanted to don't bother you all the time. 240 00:26:22,963 --> 00:26:25,432 Just do that. 241 00:26:25,604 --> 00:26:30,681 I'm prescribing Ian penicillin and come by in three days. 242 00:26:30,845 --> 00:26:35,922 Sister, take as soon as he wakes up a sample of Martin's feces. 243 00:26:36,087 --> 00:26:42,882 I prescribe bottle feeding and he must be weighed every day. 244 00:26:43,050 --> 00:26:47,523 So do we know what's wrong? -Maybe there's nothing wrong at all. 245 00:26:49,132 --> 00:26:52,250 Then I am normal a bad mother. 246 00:26:52,413 --> 00:26:55,850 I can't feed him not keeping it clean. 247 00:26:56,015 --> 00:27:01,044 I have to listen to his screams all the time. -No one blames you, Merle. 248 00:27:01,045 --> 00:27:04,046 But we need to know if he's eating enough. 249 00:27:04,431 --> 00:27:08,448 This way we can get him back on weight. 250 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,596 You think he's sick, don't you? 251 00:27:15,162 --> 00:27:18,315 That will become apparent soon enough. 252 00:27:20,884 --> 00:27:26,165 It's a great idea, but it is difficult to organize. 253 00:27:26,327 --> 00:27:30,206 You just do your job. The Cubs' demonstrations... 254 00:27:30,368 --> 00:27:36,683 the sewing club, the flower arrangers and the girls' brigade take place at the same time. 255 00:27:36,851 --> 00:27:43,803 A world opens up for me. I know half of those associations don't even. 256 00:27:43,972 --> 00:27:49,207 Some are also new. I just founded them. 257 00:27:51,055 --> 00:27:53,615 Can I keep this? -I only have one. 258 00:27:53,775 --> 00:27:57,531 I was just on my way to the library to stencil it. 259 00:27:59,978 --> 00:28:02,412 It will certainly attract a large audience. 260 00:28:04,539 --> 00:28:07,006 Hello. Do you want one? 261 00:28:13,863 --> 00:28:16,537 Good afternoon. May I offer this to you? 262 00:28:20,385 --> 00:28:24,378 That seems like hard work to me. May I offer this to you? 263 00:28:24,547 --> 00:28:26,617 No, thanks. 264 00:28:34,270 --> 00:28:39,392 This is really for you, Mrs Torpy, since you have only lived here for a short time. 265 00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:44,469 There are all kinds of clubs and courses. Also for Sheryl. 266 00:28:44,631 --> 00:28:48,263 The Girls Brigade. That's a Christian group. 267 00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:54,306 Better than painting her face. -I'm practicing for when I have work later. 268 00:28:54,477 --> 00:28:58,266 In the red light district, yes, if she continues like this. 269 00:28:58,438 --> 00:29:02,227 What's more important: The pregnancy clinic is also there. 270 00:29:02,399 --> 00:29:06,280 You can get checks there and talk to the midwife. 271 00:29:06,441 --> 00:29:12,280 This is my fourth. When the time comes, I'll just call the ambulance. 272 00:29:12,443 --> 00:29:16,801 Is there a bingo? -A bingo? Never say never. 273 00:29:16,964 --> 00:29:21,835 If you organize a bingo, I come every day. 274 00:29:27,366 --> 00:29:29,437 Nobody cares. 275 00:29:29,608 --> 00:29:34,969 I could already imagine the mounted police had to control the crowds. 276 00:29:35,131 --> 00:29:38,282 The mounted police has already been discussed. 277 00:29:38,451 --> 00:29:43,572 We had an instructional meeting. The port receives a royal visit. 278 00:29:43,733 --> 00:29:49,764 That's great. Is it the queen? -No. It's almost as good. 279 00:29:49,934 --> 00:29:52,734 Princess Margaret. 280 00:29:52,896 --> 00:29:58,530 I saw her when she became a daddy knighted. We have to go take a look. 281 00:29:58,698 --> 00:30:04,856 It's just a working visit. -But then she gets bored to death. 282 00:30:05,021 --> 00:30:11,541 People want to see her. Princess Margaret is a princess and a movie star in one. 283 00:30:11,702 --> 00:30:17,736 That's okay. The visit to the port is the only thing on the program. 284 00:30:19,426 --> 00:30:21,782 I can hardly believe that. 285 00:30:23,147 --> 00:30:26,777 When is she coming? -Tuesday a week from now. 286 00:30:28,989 --> 00:30:33,269 That's a happy coincidence. 287 00:31:24,808 --> 00:31:30,805 Lan has been taking penicillin for a week. But him can't cough up that thick mucus. 288 00:31:33,331 --> 00:31:38,453 He belongs in the hospital. They both belong there. 289 00:31:38,612 --> 00:31:43,529 I can't take good care of them. -I'll talk to the doctor. 290 00:31:43,694 --> 00:31:48,133 But you have to trust him. He sees things like this every day. 291 00:31:48,296 --> 00:31:52,894 With all due respect, sister, but so do we. 292 00:31:57,340 --> 00:32:00,251 All results are good. 293 00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:05,290 I will refer them both to the pediatrician in London, but... 294 00:32:05,461 --> 00:32:09,252 What do you think is going on? -I wish I knew. 295 00:32:10,943 --> 00:32:13,584 How does Mrs. Vicker come across to you? 296 00:32:15,625 --> 00:32:22,021 She cries a lot, is exhausted, hardly ever goes outside anymore. 297 00:32:23,548 --> 00:32:27,224 She doesn't pay attention anymore to her appearance. 298 00:32:27,390 --> 00:32:31,942 Women can survive until after a year become depressed after birth. 299 00:32:32,111 --> 00:32:35,105 Maybe that's why she has it so difficult. 300 00:32:36,752 --> 00:32:39,143 There's something else. 301 00:32:39,313 --> 00:32:45,789 Billy, the father, has a brother lost four. Also something with the lungs. 302 00:32:45,957 --> 00:32:50,587 Do you think that makes them extra worried? -Absolute. 303 00:32:50,757 --> 00:32:55,674 But that doesn't mean there isn't anything there. -No. I know that. 304 00:33:04,875 --> 00:33:10,626 Look at that. That's the thickest and softest paper I ever saw. 305 00:33:11,876 --> 00:33:15,300 That's how it always is. Even if they don't write it yourself. 306 00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:19,214 They do, Chummy. -That's fantastic. 307 00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:21,612 You shouldn't be here at all. 308 00:33:21,784 --> 00:33:25,015 When the nuns wake up, you have to go into the closet. 309 00:33:25,185 --> 00:33:29,258 Then you can fry your egg. -It's that you bring your own sauce. 310 00:33:29,425 --> 00:33:34,181 Sit down, Chummy. -I have to go back. Peter's shift is about to start. 311 00:33:34,345 --> 00:33:37,783 Just five minutes. You look so tired. 312 00:33:41,629 --> 00:33:45,100 I've been flying around all day and now I'm breaking down. 313 00:33:45,269 --> 00:33:48,707 Police, town hall, call the lady-in-waiting three times... 314 00:33:48,872 --> 00:33:54,232 write a letter for Sister Julienne. Will you put it on her desk? 315 00:33:54,394 --> 00:34:00,028 Have you done anything else? -Recruiting women for the sewing club... 316 00:34:00,195 --> 00:34:05,555 and buy a book on flower arranging. I said that those clubs already exist. 317 00:34:05,717 --> 00:34:11,192 I can teach the flower arranging course. I took lessons from Constance Spry. 318 00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:14,273 And the Cubs? They really exist, don't they? 319 00:34:14,439 --> 00:34:19,470 They represent our maritime past with the story of Grace Darling. 320 00:34:19,643 --> 00:34:24,560 Jack Smith plays the lighthouse. -That sounds fantastic. 321 00:34:24,723 --> 00:34:28,434 And the girls brigade a marching band is going to play. 322 00:34:28,604 --> 00:34:33,237 Those are terrible. I should know. I have to listen to it every week. 323 00:34:33,406 --> 00:34:37,003 I promised the lady-in-waiting. 'Mea culpa.' 324 00:34:37,168 --> 00:34:40,798 I played the horn in the RAF. I can help. 325 00:34:40,969 --> 00:34:45,169 Would you like to do that? -Then I can see the princess clearly. 326 00:34:49,210 --> 00:34:51,444 visit Princess Margaret volunteers wanted 327 00:34:57,056 --> 00:34:59,012 flower arranging course 328 00:35:17,542 --> 00:35:21,331 Hello.

Hopefully you have good lungs. -I have a cold sore. 330 00:35:26,745 --> 00:35:28,702 I'll grab a drum. 331 00:35:54,155 --> 00:35:58,832 I just heard the weather report. They predict rain. 332 00:35:58,996 --> 00:36:04,834 Come along. You've done enough. -I hope so. 333 00:36:22,924 --> 00:36:29,000 Baby Martin's digestion is a disaster and lan is coughing and has bad diarrhea. 334 00:36:29,166 --> 00:36:35,516 They are very small. I noticed that immediately. -It sounds like stunted growth. 335 00:36:35,689 --> 00:36:40,445 That's not a diagnosis. That term has been used for centuries. 336 00:36:40,611 --> 00:36:42,567 Could it be an infection? 337 00:36:42,731 --> 00:36:47,853 All results are good. Doctor Turner has tried everything. 338 00:36:48,012 --> 00:36:51,132 It has to do with body fluids. 339 00:36:51,294 --> 00:36:55,208 In one of my books this is described exactly. 340 00:36:55,375 --> 00:37:00,007 It dates back to the time of Queen Anne. -Really and truly? 341 00:37:00,178 --> 00:37:05,970 Yes. It says that such children not older than five years. 342 00:37:06,139 --> 00:37:10,977 And when you kiss their foreheads, they taste like salt. 343 00:37:12,781 --> 00:37:18,653 It's upstairs. In chamois leather, for light is harmful to the vibrations. 344 00:37:18,823 --> 00:37:21,897 Let's clean up. It's dinner time. 345 00:37:23,065 --> 00:37:26,855 You just say that to shut me up. 346 00:37:31,828 --> 00:37:36,220 I have a wealth of knowledge maintained. 347 00:37:36,389 --> 00:37:39,828 Just put out a bowl of biscuits in front of my door. 348 00:38:13,841 --> 00:38:15,596 How are they? 349 00:38:18,605 --> 00:38:20,355 They sleep. 350 00:38:23,765 --> 00:38:26,076 I almost wish I didn't... 351 00:38:28,727 --> 00:38:32,767 because when they sleep, I start thinking. 352 00:38:35,449 --> 00:38:40,651 And when I do, I wonder like I'm going crazy. 353 00:38:42,411 --> 00:38:48,284 Crazy people are taken away. And how should it be done? 354 00:38:57,029 --> 00:39:02,015 Time for Compline Sister Monica Joan. 355 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,676 What are you sewing? -A nightgown for a baby. 356 00:39:36,842 --> 00:39:38,594 Do you mean... 357 00:39:39,962 --> 00:39:44,959 Not yet. But I so hope so. 358 00:39:45,124 --> 00:39:51,565 I work on it every night. With small cross stitches, like kisses. 359 00:39:53,007 --> 00:39:57,446 It's a prayer. A small gift for the future. 360 00:40:04,371 --> 00:40:08,491 Sister Monica Joan.
