The remainder of the equipment's

on it's way from the docks.

Best thing, money worth.

Ladies, that was Mr. Joe Jones.

I've offered him the post of workshop foreman.

And I'm happy to say that he's accepted.

Now as regards, the women I've engaged.

I have a list here.

Oh, excuse me.

Thank you.

It would have been preferable, Mr. Cotter,

if you could have let us know

of your intentions regarding Mr. Jones.

Well, we needed a foreman.

Nonetheless, I'd appreciate being consulted in future.

Of course.

I didn't mean to tread on your toes.

A misunderstanding on both sides.

Now, ladies, regarding these machinists,

experienced women everyone

and working conditions drawn up as you want.

The terms of employment are more than satisfactory

Above average, 33 shillings for a 40 hour week.

Mr. Wint here knows his business all right.

Don't worry, Ms. Elliott,

those girls will be the happiest inland.

Thank you Mr. Cotter.

Oh, wait, Tilly, let me.

Thanks, Charles.

God, you must be excited.

And scared.

But we're gonna miss ya.

Who's gonna be next then?

Not likely.

Do you like babies, Mr. Charles?

Clara does.

So you plan to have many then?

Well, maybe.

They do say that those that come from large families

do tend to have large families.

Goodnight, ladies.

Good night.

I suppose you're up again with Clara tonight.

If there's something good on the pics.

All right for some.

What's your fiance's favourite films, Charles?

She likes romantic.

She particularly liked Sun of The Sheikh .

Then that was lovely.

-All right. -All right.

Oy.

You must think I'm daft,

you went to see Son of the Sheikh on your own.

Romance.

This whole story is a romance, Charles Quance.

You haven't got a fiance.

What do you mean?

You told me Clara was an only child.

Then you said she came from a big family.

Why did you do it?

You don't strike me as the sort that tell lies.

It made me feel safer

somehow.

I invented her because,

well, it all got out of hand.

You're right there.

Well, you're gonna have to confess

sooner or later, you know that.

You are lucky you met your match.

Hello.

Are you enjoying the novel?

It's very good.

I write the hard words as you tell me.

See?

Yeah. Perhaps this will help.

Now I speak good English.

Thank you.

I'm sure you will.

And I'll help you learn.

You are kind to me, you and Mrs. Wint.

Not at all.

This arrived for you.

Immigrants.

alien department.

This regard to ...

I cannot understand.

Coroner's inquest and subsequent registration of death.

We are unable to trace an entrance visa

or resident aliens permit for the late Mr. Nathan Beletsky

or for Ms. Katrina Beletsky.

What it mean?

Well,

take good care of yourself.

I will.

And the baby.

You are so lucky, you and Jack.

Yes.

You have so much to look forward to.

Welcome home.

Here, let me help you with that.

Jack, don't fuss.

I'll make us some tea.

Another article?

It's about Albert Howell's accident.

I'm beginning to realise that journalism

has certain advantages.

Even I couldn't entice the public to a film

about an industrial accident

whereas the newspapers thrive on this sort of thing.

You haven't given up making films altogether, have you?

I don't think I could go back

to churning out comedies and romances.

And apparently, that is all people

are interested in these days.

This work seems more worthwhile, somehow.

Jack?

Mm-hmm.

What's wrong?

I know how much this baby means to you.

To me?

To us.

But I must be sure, you wouldn't ask me back

because it's the right thing to do.

It is me you want, isn't it?

Surely, you know by now.

Yes.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Hello.

Am I disturbing you?

Yes.

Sorry.

I just thought you might like to hear the good news.

I sold your woman in the shade.

Thanks. You got a good price?

The client got the bargain.

What are you working on now?

I was just finishing something.

Striking.

It's very different from your other one.

I should hope so.

What would be the point of turning out the same old stuff?

This gives me the freedom to progress.

I can see that.

It's purely an experiment.

I'm trying to convey emotions

and as directly as possible.

Passion.

This one's passion.

You're more perceptive than I realised.

Maybe your work communicates more than you notice.

Could I take one or two of these?

I might be able to sell them.

How about this one?

I'm sorry to bother you with this Ms. Eliott,

but the home office is making inquiries as to her status.

I see.

I wonder whether...

I'm at a loss to know what to do.

I thought perhaps Mr. Maddox might be willing to assist.

I'm sure he will.

Miles.

I shall speak to him this evening.

Thank you, Ms. Elliot.

Hello.

We've set these up for you.

I'm working here today, huh?

If you don't mind, you shan't be disturbed.

I do apologise moving you around from office to office.

Please Beatrice, I really don't mind where I work.

Thank you

Wednesday two o'clock

That'll be splendid.

Anne, how are you?

Evangeline.

How divine you look?

Thank you.

What have you got there?

Well, we're sponsoring the artist.

Ooh.

These are superb.

So vigorous.

Who is he?

His name is Daniel Page.

A wise investment, my dear.

Talent like that cannot be taught.

We're also assisting the artist who did these.

Exquisite.

Anne, I would like you to meet Miles Bannister.

Miles, this is Mrs. Anne Beaumont

Darling, boy, I'm already a fan

Anne has been admiring your illustrations in reception.

Well, thank you.

Wherever did find him?

Thank you, Miles.

So Anne, how is business?

Most satisfactory, thank you.

You must come on down and meet as soon as possible.

How would Saturday evening suit you?

We'd be delighted.

Good.

Thank you, Mr. Wint.

Have a pleasant weekend, Madge.

Thank you.

You too, Tilly.

Say hello to Mrs. Wint for me.

I will.

Was there something, Betty?

Yeah, it's private.

I don't like asking, but

the thing is can I have a sup?

But you've just collected your wages.

I know but if I could have something

on account of next weeks, I'll pay it back a bit at a time.

You know I can't give you an advance

on money you haven't earned yet.

I'd like to help you, but borrowing money

will only get you into debt.

Checking the checks is the clerk's job really,

But Mr. Simmons lets me do it

'cause he likes a job well done.

I always double check the figures.

Hey, the Kid Brother's on down the Picture Palace

tonight, Harold Lloyd, do you fancy going?

Young Wallace was in a right state today.

He came to me for help,

just shows ya, there's merit in always being careful.

Gerry, we haven't been out for weeks.

Charles Quance says it's his best yet.

Gerry?

What?

Look, I don't wanna go to the pictures.

What about our day off then?

I fancy doing something for a change.

Or visit Tilly and Norman, maybe next Sunday.

I suppose.

You'll come?

It's all right.

Well, this is something special.

Is the sculptor one of your proteges?

Yes, I found him painting the ceiling of the Vatican.

Thank you, Sanders, you may serve.

I have to warn you, Anne,

that your reputation as a champion

of young artists is in jeopardy.

All the new talent is being routed

out by the House of Elliot.

You do seem to have struck gold my dears.

I was very taken with the work of your two young men.

Yes, Evie and I are convinced that Daniel

and Miles have a great future ahead of them.

It's such a shame though

that their work is seen by so few people,

only those who come to the House of Elliot.

It has little chance of gaining public attention.

That is sad.

But not exceptional.

But then you must have encountered this many times yourself.

I have indeed.

Perhaps we could mount an exhibition

at the Gallery Beaumont.

How about a private view?

That might be rather fun.

What a splendid idea?

Well, that's very generous of you, Anne.

Not at all.

We might discuss commission on sales.

Of course.

This looks heavenly.

I just bought my chef a refrigerator.

He's getting rather carried away.

Ready to wear indeed.

What'd you expect for five guineas?

Well, I expect both sleeves

to be the same length for one thing.

How many times?

About four.

Yes, Madge.

The first samples are set up like we said, Miss Bee

Well, good.

You'd better come and see.

I'm sorry, Mr. Cotter, this just isn't good enough.

What's wrong with it?

The cotton hasn't even been matched at the seam.

This is inexcusable.

I'd reject the lot.

Well, this is just a case of the clamp spread

is not being properly adjusted, that's all.

It's not a major problem by any means.

Well, I'm glad you think so.

Mr. Cotter's right, this is just the first step.

So let's not get things out of proportion.

Why not? Some of these proxies.

Thank you, Madge and Grace

The fabric wasn't held tight enough.

So some of the layers got moved around a bit.

That would account for the different size pieces.

An expensive mistake.

And most regrettable but nothing that cannot be put right.

No more problems in the future, I'm certain.

House of Eliott clients are accustomed to couture.

And that, If you don't mind me saying,

so is the source of your unhappiness,

looking for a couture product.

This isn't couture.

You're ready to wear customer isn't looking for perfection.

Nevertheless, we can do better than this.

More attention paid here, for example,

the stitching's crooked.

Surely, it's not too much to ask machinists

to sew in a straight line.

They can in America.

Ms. Eliott, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll give you my undertaking that from now on,

all goods will be personally inspected by me.

How's that?

It might be an idea to send Madge and Grace

over to Bayswater to check on quality control

avoid wasting any more material.

Miles, I'm sorry.

I'm gonna have to ask you to move

elsewhere, if you don't mind.

Th small fitting room is free at last.

Hey, I've just had an idea.

Why don't I move out of flat?

Move out, why?

Well, we need more space.

We could convert the whole of the top floor

to offices for Joseph, Grace and Miles.

Just the man I've be looking for.

Samuel, how are you?

I'm fine.

Do you know, I like that piece of yours in The Messenger,

but why on earth didn't you give it to me?

I could have used it.

What's this?

Alien's registration act.

Another of your good causes.

It's an inquiry on behalf of a friend.

Do you know anything at all about this chap here?

Archibald Lovat, a living wage: The new solution.

No. Should I?

Yeah, I think you should.

Lecture, all welcome.

And that includes you, Jack.

See you down at the ground.

Welfare of the labouring masses, think about it.

Could make an interesting article, 900 words.

The usual rate?

All right.

You see Ms. Keeble, nothing to worry about.

I'd say you've done this very well, Mr. Cotter.

Excuse me, may I have a look at that, please?

Well, it's a lot better.

There's too many threads on it for my liking

and this pocket isn't quite straight.

Ms. Keeble here is happy about it.,

And she is the designer.

Thank you, Mr. Cotter.

I'm afraid the amendment

to the alien's act doesn't help us.

And without a passport,

at worst, you could be prosecuted and deported.

It won't come to that, Katya I'm sure.

But you say everything all right.

I'll write to Berlin,

gather as much information as I can for the matter.

I suggest we make an immediate

application for temporary residency.

Is that possible?

I don't see why not?

Don't worry, Katya.

We'll get this sorted out.

Let's get something to take with those tortillas.

She's got a real sweet tooth at the moment.

Well, those peppermint sticks look nice.

Almond toffee.

What'd you think Gerry?

Get whatever you want.

I'll have half pound of those round toffees please.

What's wrong with you?

I said I'll do some overtime.

When?

Not today.

Don't start now.

I had no choice.

Besides we need the money.

What do you expect me to say?

Toffees, please.

This is the limit, Gerry.

There's nothing to stop you going on in your own.

They're expecting us both.

We were beginning to get worried about you.

Where's Gerry?

Madge

Let me take that.

You're a good man, Norman.

Not like some I could mention.

Is Gerry all right?

He's all right.

He's gone to work.

Can you credit it?

Lord knows I've tried to fathom that man.

It don't matter, Madge.

But I don't like to see you let down.

Well, we're not let down 'cause you're here, aren't you?

Come with me.

Anyway, I've had it up to here

with his trains and his timetables

and this running two minutes late

and that running one minute early.

Something smells good.

It's some braised mutton,

due to arrive in our stomachs

at 2:16 with any further delays.

It can go down a treat.

It must be great being married to a chef.

I never know what I'm gonna sit down to next.

You can try some of my rock cakes later on.

Come here.

What a lovely little crib.

Norman made it and I stitched all this.

It' lovely.

Hey, but it's a bit bare in here, ain't it?

Well, you've got to be careful with the baby.

We scrubbed down the walls.

What?

You gotta nowadays.

No wonder you've been so tired.

It's a high time you eased up a bit.

It's all gonna be all right.

There's so much to think about with the baby.

How would you get by once you stop work?

Well, we've done our sums.

We should be able to manage.

Yeah. Ms. Bee's been ever so kind.

She gave me an extra two weeks wages

I'll be paid up until when the baby's born.

Yeah. Not long to go now.

This area is best, don't you think?

Yes, you're right.

And we can put the light paintings in a row along here.

Now, I can arrange a private view

for Wednesday, the 24th of June,

with the exhibition from the 25th

through to the 7th of July.

I've made out a guest list.

Heavens

A prestigious event is exactly what your career needs,

my boy take it from me.

I've spoken to George Holt.

He's absolutely thrilled.

Miles and some of the other students

are busy preparing work.

They should be calling round soon

to thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

Yes, I can't tell you what it means to have your support.

Without people like you where would art be today?

Hi Grace, may I?

Thank you.

Much better.

Customers won't check every little last stitch.

A machine could do all that.

There is enough machine stitching

on this as it is, actually.

Suit yourself.

Hurry along Agnes.

Excuse me, Ms. Evie.

Evie, I don't know if we'll be ready on time.

There's still so much to be done.

Well, I think so.

Of course, once you've had the baby,

we may have to delegate.

Evie.

Yes, that's right, I'm pregnant.

Well, I never.

Why should we tolerate 10% unemployment?

A living wage is possible for each and every one of us.

Thank you everyone.

Thank you very much.

Now, if anyone has a question.

Yes, you've been calling for widespread social

and economic intervention to combat unemployment

and poverty, but won't that make many of us worse off?

I think you misunderstand my point.

No, I don't.

What I meant was aren't you simply advocating

a Robin Hood policy of taking from the rich

and giving to the poor?

The nation's wealth will be shared, madam.

And wasn't Robin Hood a hero?

You suggest that the government be forced

into action that your ideas become law.

Why not employ persuasion

using examples of good employers to show

that the benefits can be felt

by both employers and employees?

When may I ask, did you last meet a businessman

who voluntarily surrendered part of his profits?

How many model employers have you met recently?

A most stimulating lecture, Mr. Lovat.

I'm glad you found it so, Mr?

Maddox, Jack Maddox.

This is my wife, Beatrice.

How do you do?

You raise a lot of thought provoking points.

My editor would be interested in a profile.

Would you agree to do an interview?

Certainly.

Good.

And the private view is later this month, you say?

Indeed.

I think it's a trifle generous.

There,

that's better.

Otherwise it makes me look as though I'm sagging.

The bodice is designed to be loose,

Mrs. Gourlay Hamilton

We'll let Tilly see if she can adjust

it more to your satisfaction.

It's all very well to patronise impoverished artists

but one cannot be too careful, these days.

It's all too easy to be taken advantage of,

one must always be aware.

The finishing touch.

I say, that's much better.

But doesn't this hat rather drain my complexion?

Good luck, Tilly.

Thank you.

-Goodbye. -Bye bye.

All the very best, Tilly.

Thanks, Mr. Wint.

You put your feet to your mind.

Once the baby arrives you won't have a moment to yourself.

You won't forget us, will you?

Well, I can't forget you, could I?

Not ever.

I'll be back to see how you're all doing.

You'll see if I don't.

Good luck, Tilly. Take care.

You too, Ms. Bee

And don't forget what I said about the raspberry leaf tea

'cause it keeps your system fresh.

Yes, I'll be sure to remember that.

Well, you remember what I said,

if you want to return to work then-

Thanks.

But me and Norman, we're old fashioned about babies.

I'll see you soon.

See you Monday, Ms. Bee.

You will let us know when it's born, won't you?

Of course, I will.

Just in time, it seems.

Tilly, best of luck.

Thank you.

Oh, that's beautiful.

You'll keep in touch.

You will come and see me.

Of course we will.

Thanks so much.

Bye, bye.

Good luck, Tilly.

Bee, I found a flat.

Where?

Here in Chelsea.

All this space.

Seven o'clock and it's still flooded with light.

Daddy would be so jealous.

It's a wonderful find.

Come to think of it,

you'll be needing a bigger place yourself soon, won't you?

We ought to be getting back.

I have to go through those new orders.

You're not planning on working late again.

Bee, it can't be good for you.

Evie.

Looks like you're the first go, Miles.

Who's got the pair?

Tah dah.

You're ready?

Yeah!

Cast off, mateys.

Here, let me take that.

Don't be silly, you go sit down.

I'll go make us a nice cup of tea.

What time have you got to be at work?

Not till two.

Are you accusing me of laziness?

'Cause if you were, I might just do this.

I didn't say you should be working.

I really wanted to know

if you'd be ready for the exhibition?

There's no need to worry about that.

Really?

I've done a lot of work in the last few weeks.

If you need any help setting up

at the gallery, I could arrive early.

I won't mind.

Thanks.

Shoo,

go on out.

I'll call you when we're ready, sheep.

Don't be long then, she's worn out.

Tilly.

Tilly.

Listen everybody, Tilly's had a baby.

She's had a little boy.

She had it yesterday evening, about five o'clock.

He weighs six pounds, six ounces

and both mother and baby are doing well.

Have they thought of a name yet?

No, I don't think they have.

Betty, what's wrong?

I can see something's up.

I won't tell anyone.

It's my Stanley.

He's been sent down.

10 years he got and he didn't do nothing wrong.

10 years.

What am I gonna do now?

Standards must be regulated.

Otherwise, what incentive do employers have to change?

A man I know had an accident at work

due entirely to the lack of safety

precautions by the subcontractor.

This man is now maimed for life

and yet his employer got off scot-free.

I hear this kind of story almost daily.

He should surely be entitled

to some kind of financial compensation.

Concern for individuals is all well and good

but the entire system must be changed.

We privately say that, that doesn't work.

Public regulation of all our great national industries.

And we must get people back in regular employment.

I hope this article of yours will help

communicate my theories to a wider audience.

This policy must be given serious consideration.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there is no change in sight.

I do apologise, Mr. Lovat,

I didn't intend to take up so much of your time.

It's been a pleasure.

Bear in mind the remark of Mr. Kane's,

the true voice of the new generation has not yet spoken.

I'll make sure you see the article

before it goes to print, of course.

This could be Joseph and Katya's office.

Do you remember this lamp?

We bought it in the market when we first moved here.

We refurnished the flat with our favourite

things from the Highgate house.

And Jack brought us champagne.

I remember decorating these walls.

I remember Tilly was appalled by the white paint.

We were happy here.

The future looks bright, Bee, better than ever.

I wish I could be as sure.

I hope Jack is taking the prospect of a baby seriously.

Does he realise the adjustments we'll have to make?

I'm sure Jack will make an excellent father.

Yes, but I'll be the one making all the sacrifices.

Is difficult, English.

You say we take

the bus

or

we take a bus.

Both. There's some post for you.

I have the letter

or

I have a letter.

A letter.

You open it, please.

We may be in trouble, Katya.

Because you came from Berlin, police think you're German.

German, but you know I am Russian.

I know, but it's very important that we prove to them

that you are a Russian national.

But that they need to see official papers.

Do you have anything, a passport, a birth certificate?

Anything to prove that you're not German?

I have nothing.

It looks lovely just sitting there, doesn't it?

Thanks ever so much

Much more than so would have been, you know that.

How are you?

You must be exhausted with all the feedings,

all the extra work.

Do you have anyone to help you?

Well, my mum comes around sometimes and Norman helps.

The baby is no trouble at all.

He's a sweet little mate.

I couldn't be without him already.

What about you?

You have any morning sickness yet?

No, not quite.

I made you wild saffron to celebrate.

-It's supposed to be lucky. -Thank you.

I saved these hoping you'd come.

Come on, baby.

Tilly,

he's beautiful.

Take him.

So tiny.

Perhaps later, I don't want anything-

No, don't be scared, Ms. Bee, you won't drop him.

Norman calls him Smila.

Beatrice.

Evangeline.

my dear,

how pale you look?

Why, in your condition, you should be glowing.

I remember when I was carrying my son,

everybody remarked on how radiant I looked.

I wouldn't recommend pregnancy to anyone.

You'll think differently

in a couple of weeks, wait and see.

Is this the final guest?

Yes, now I've made a slight alteration to the layout.

It's very minor, but come this way.

Isn't it breathtaking?

That's my personal favourite.

I'll go and see how mount is getting on.

Hello.

Does it look all right?

Perfect.

Do you know, I've just realised, why I've been feeling

so dissatisfied with my work recently?

It's so stained,

so inhibited.

And there's absolutely no reason why it should be.

None at all.

Well, this is it.

Good luck.

Come along you two, the festival guests are arriving.

Have you noticed most Morris Duval.

The couturier?

He wasn't on the guest list.

Let's hope he isn't here to poach our clientele.

How'd you do?

Nan Bayliss, editor of Style and Beauty.

Oh yes. How do you do?

We'd love to do a feature

on the House of Elliot, perhaps in the autumn.

This would be a fashion article?

We'd like to do a cover feature

and a centre spread, maybe four pages.

Really, Jack old chap, that Lovat fella wants

to clear out our bank accounts.

Aren't you rather missing the point?

His theories would bring about

the collapse of the economy.

Go back to making videos and leave the business to us.

You see, it's that sort of attitude

that typifies the problem.

Of course, Jack is a writer, not a politician.

He simply trying to-

How dare you?

I don't know how you had the nerve to show your face.

I warn you, stay well away from that young man.

What on earth was all that about?

Do you know that woman?

She used to be my patron.

What?

Just like you, she kept me, paid my art school fees.

And you didn't think to mention this to me?

I thought we were honest with each other.

I thought we were friends.

Evie, calm down.

I did what I had to do in order to work.

How else am I supposed to live?

Helen was hardly naive.

She wanted more than I could give her in return, far more.

What?

It became impossible.

So I walked out and her hard-earned money.

She can't bear the fact that she's been rejected.

I trusted you.

What are you talking about?

I don't understand why you're so upset.

Did you exploit that woman?

I want to know.

For all I know you're using me too.

And what were your motives in befriending me, eh?

You pretend to be one of us.

Then you run off back to your affluent life and friends.

What, does it make you feel like a real artist?

Then you can forget your money.

Frankly, it's not worth the bother.

Miles, you can work upstairs now.

The new offices are ready

so we shan't be moving you around anymore.

There's something I have to tell you.

I've had an offer from a rival couturier.

Morris Duval?

Have you accepted his offer?

I'm considering it, yes.

Well, let us know when you've decided.

Well, at least four pages of Ms. Bee said and photographs.

Why would they wanna interview us?

They probably want a picture of you

for the front cover, Agnes.

Towel.

May I ask, you look a bit down

in the dumps, anything the matter?

Nothing.

Thank you.

I'm not one to burden people with my troubles.

Go on Mr. Charles, you can tell us.

Well, I don't know where to start.

It's Clara.

I've been jilted.

"If it's him, you truly love," I said," I'll cut you free."

But I still love her.

I worshipped that girl.

You did.

But me a tailor cutter and him a master baker.

Girl that did something like that,

she's not worth it.

Don't you blame yourself.

You probably tempted her, Charles.

Eh?

Well, all those sweet meats,

sticky cakes, who could resist?

Poor, poor, Charles, you must be heartbroken.

I am.

Morning, ladies.

Morning, Mr. Maddox.

When's Tilly bringing the baby?

Well, I'm not sure.

Let's make a surprise for her.

Maybe we could put some blue bunting up.

Listen, don't fret.

He's probably come about something else.

I reckon she'll be deported.

You have news.

Sit down.

No.

The secretary of state has made

a special exception for Russian Jews.

So once those immigration documents arrive from Berlin.

Please-

There's no need to look so worried, congratulations.

I must stay.

You can

stay.

Thank you.

Samuel Campbell's promised me another article.

William McFarland of The Observer called,

he's interested too.

I got more than enough work to keep me busy

for the next few weeks.

Jack, you're not gonna start typing now?

I have to get this article out as soon as I can.

Dinner will be ready in five minutes.

Could you possibly put the world to rights by then?

That's not fair, Bee, this is important.

Until another fad comes along.

A fad? Is that what you think?

No, it isn't. I'm sorry.

Social injustice is not a fad in anyone's terms.

Besides, this is work.

What is wrong with you?

I've been busy.

We both have.

Do you expect me to give up work, is that it?

The child is half yours, Jack.

You must accept some of the responsibility.

I can't shoulder the entire burden of raising it myself.

Have I ever said that I expected you to?

I do understand and I will be here.

Yes.

Hello, Norman.

Morning, Charles.

Ms. Eliott.

Thank you, Joseph.

Hey, what's wrong with everybody?

I tried to contact you last night.

I was out.

What's happened

Tilly's baby is dead, Evie.

Somehow it caught whooping cough

just a few days ago, apparently.

Well, we must go to her.

You go.

Madge is already on her way.

I'll look after the office.

I'm so sorry.

Am I disturbing you?

What can I do for you, Miles?

Nothing really.

I just thought you might be interested to know

I've decided to decline Morris Duval's offer

and remain with the House of Elliott.

We appreciate your loyalty.

There never was any real question of my leaving.

That I'm glad, Style and Beauty Magazine

have asked four pages of illustrations.

Good.

Better get back to work then.

Tell me, do you ever hear anything of Daniel these days?

I haven't heard from him.

He's working well.

He's producing some of his best work.

Oh,

I'm glad.

Hate to think his work had been affected by recent events.

No need to worry.

He's never been one to brood.

Not bad.

Not bad at all, if they are all your work as you say.

Evangeline looks them over from time to time.

Says what she likes and what she doesn't like.

If you want my opinion,

people nowadays would cheer for clothes,

the sort of thing I'm good at.

My sister's stuff is too eyebrow for this market.

I'm listening.

I'm just wondering what you thought, that's all.

Whether we see eye to eye,

if you know what I mean Mr. Cotter.

Call me Larry.

When Tilly's baby died, Evie,

I realised how much I want mine.

After all I've said and thought

about this baby being so inconvenient,

I feel so guilty, Evie. I can't fix it.

Tilly has been asking for you.

It's been a whole week now.

I wrote to her.

She wants you, Bee.

Thank you.

This can't have been easy for you.

No cakes, but I can offer you a cup of tea.

Tilly, I'm so ashamed.

Don't be silly, Ms. Bee, I knew you'd come.

Sit down.

Tilly, I'm so sorry.

Ms. Bee, please don't you worry.

Your baby's gonna be all right.

Oh God.
