[Music]

modern in your writing Clary I shall

write like me it's no good telling me

what to write

I had the money I would have bought all

the pens in the shop I mean suppose they

decide that pens aren't essential to war

and they stop making

[Music]

sorry darling I forgot the villain

wanted the jewels brought down

careless

doesn't lose any

come on over there

which one did you give her for her last

baby

two passes away

curious well don't be it has nothing to

do with you

with us

it has well that hasn't it you told me

that Billy only had a baby because she

wanted it so terribly it seems rather

odd that you should have given her a

whole lot of jewelry for it as well I've

given her a piece after each of the

children I can't really change that

who could I

obviously not

anyway it seems rather funny for you to

be making such a fuss it wasn't any

video who had a baby while we were going

to bed together I never told you that I

didn't go to bed with angers I told you

that I didn't want to

anyway it's different with Jamie

I had to go to bed with Angus if I

hadn't Jamie could only possibly have

been yours I don't remember telling you

that I never went to bed with Billy

not in so many words I didn't talk about

it because it isn't the sort of thing

one talks about you mean it might have

been embarrassing yes now there's

supposed to be a Wars time tomorrow may

we please move off

darling I'm sorry

no I suppose I'm just terrified that

you'll be sent away and I'll never see

you again

it's ridiculous to quarrel when

everything's so awful anyway

it's all right

look I promise you whatever happens I

find a way of seeing you

um

I mean gospel

really

date darling yes I'm sorry though

Dreadful traffic

so many people leaving London

what are you up to

just having a last look

out regulations reinforced from tonight

the war hasn't even started yet

the lights are going out all over Europe

that's what someone said last time

the lamps are going out

he said the lamps

ah

well some difference

[Music]

[Music]

this morning the British Ambassador in

Berlin

ended the German government

a final note

stating that unless we heard from them

by 11 o'clock

that they were prepared at once to

withdraw their troops from Poland

a state of War would exist between us

I have to tell you now

that no such undertaking has been

received

and that consequently

this country is at war with Germany

you can imagine

what a bitter blow it is to me

that all my long struggled to win peace

has failed

yet I cannot believe that there is

anything more

or anything different that I could have

done

and it would have been more successful

up to the very last

it would have been quite possible to

have arranged a peaceful and honorable

settlement between Germany and Poland

that Hitler would not have it

now may God bless you all

and may He defend the right

for it is evil things that we shall be

fighting against

Brute Force dead faith Injustice

oppression

and persecution

against them I am certain

right will prevail

[Music]

yes I've been accepted but it's

organizing Airfield defense is more or

less a desk job at least you're doing

something

to listen to them you think I've been no

good for anything since 1917.

supplies that Tim were going to be vital

you'll be running the firm more or less

on your own

oh yes

more importantly

you'll go away won't you

she'll have to join them

no but please sorry

I'm young and fit and there's a war on

and sooner or later they'll call me and

wait till they do look

if I volunteer now

then I can choose which service to join

I'd rather be in the Navy

I have to do it

foreign

[Music]

you must be too long

I volunteered to be an ambulance driver

sit now it'll be so dangerous

at my house in London which you'll never

have

Oh Come Into My Palace at the spiders

I love you

always have always will

whatever happened

there is a war on Louise there is no

need for actresses you must learn to do

something that could be useful go to go

to King School

it's for a start and then perhaps

shorthand and typing with skills like

those you'd be very useful in the racks

or the Rems I don't want to be in the

racks of the rent I want to be an

actress if I want to talk to her will

you please tell her there is a war on

and she must learn to play her part I'm

going to play mine I'm going to train to

become a nurse I say steady on little

girl he's a six-month baby to look after

yes yes maybe who has Ellen to look

after him I can live in London in the

week and come home and see rolly at the

weekends yes and we'll discuss that

later now look here Louise I think you

should do as your mother says you should

go to cooking school absolutely

absolutely and then next year when

you're 17 you can audition for one drama

school and if they accept you then you

have a year to prove that you can be an

actress

I think that's fair and that's my

decision

well I hope you're grateful

you would not have got that concession

from me

I shall prove I can be an actress

the way she talks to is beyond all

reason

a difficult age I guess

[Music]

Louise Catholic yes I'm Stella Rose I've

been deputed to meet you

I'm sure it's not that they think you'll

get lost on the way and they just feel

that any new arrival might change their

minds and run off and there's half an

hour before the others arrive let's say

we have a cup of tea

so uh how long have you been there one

turn but it feels like 10 years

my father wanted me to go to Oxford my

mother thought I should do something

useful first same with mine I'm going to

be an actress an actress how exciting

my parents and sisters like at a cooking

school first

well you're about to be taught how to

make a suet crust for a pudding set a

dinner table an interview a perspective

Parliament as if either of us would ever

have one what do you mean

because the day war was declared the

class system collapsed to this of course

it did

what did the class system depend upon

it depends on educating working people

so badly that you'd only do dollar

menial jobs

and when those sort of people go to war

I don't know they'll start to learn that

they're better than that and they won't

want to go back to the way they were and

the whole class system will just

disappear

and doesn't your family see that

happening

I'm gonna talk about things like that I

gotta stop I sometimes wish they would

are they

you know

what would be wrong with that nothing

I'm just

just look the girl I was sharing with

safe and then in a few days they are

surrounded by Germans

Holland has already been defeated Uncle

Hugh says that Belgium will give in very

soon

I strongly held Supply base

in what has been described as a glorious

rear guide action the British

expeditionary force and his French

allies have been fighting their way back

in a compact wedge which has its widest

side on a 30 miles of Coastline around

dunfer

thank you

I spoke to Edward on the telephone this

morning

to close up our London houses

there'll be no use

we can't close our house

where will you stay

I know it's only two or three days a

week but it's better than nothing well

drink some thick chalky stuff and then

they x-rayed my stomach to see if I have

an ulcer and I have is that serious oh

friend's yacht to help the British

soldiers Escape

had to swim from the shore to the yacht
