blackout regulations are enforced from tonight the war hasn't even started yet

the lights are going out all over europe that's what someone said last time

you must have been taking 10 or 12 a day why didn't you see the doctor

i told you hugh i don't want the doctor what's up i'm going to have another baby

i've got my papers i join up on monday goodbye my dad

i just wanted to say how frightfully sorry i am that rupert is missing

it's always a pleasure to see a new baby in the world

she's a fine healthy girl a baby to be proud of mrs casolit

you've done very well but you'll want a good rest and that's the best thing for

you you'll be well taken care of i do know

that good night mrs caswell good night dr

carr will be so pleased

i'll see you later

she'll be fine but she's had a very difficult time

she must not be told about her husband until she's strong enough to bear the

shock would you like me to give you something

to help you sleep no no i'll be all right you know i don't

like pills

so

who's that no idea

does anyone know you're here

hello oh hello here boy thank you catching me here i just

popped into her

what's up

oh darling got your sweet days i could

awful news you might be a prisoner oh yes yes quite likely

yes well one thing about jerry is efficient we'll know soon enough

it's on a short party organizing the evacuation

didn't return before the ship had left the lists are in from all the other

ships rupert's name isn't on them yes but it's too soon to be certain of

anything yet oh yes yes of course

we had a terrible time tracking you down edward it was

you who thought of trying the house yes i'd been in town organizing contract

and uh popped into the house on the way back to base check that everything was

okay

how's that well she she doesn't know yet because she was

having the baby when the news came through

it's a lovely little girl she's called juliet

and clary she took the telephone call she she was looking for a stamp

to post him a letter oh lord

you know what might be best to assume he's not coming back

and then when he does it will be even more wonderful

i think i must tell neville

we had a telegram this morning confirming the news

they always send a telegram they sent me one and now gordon was killed

soon as i saw the telegraph boy i knew what it was

we'll break the news to mrs rupert oh this is

zoe

darling there's something i have to tell you what is it

it's rupert

i'm afraid he's been listed as missing in action

apparently he he went ashore to help with the evacuation of sam valerie

he didn't return to his ship we mustn't despair because there's every

chance that he's been taken prisoner and for the sake of the baby you must

try and be brave

thank you tom bridge

he's dead isn't he no he's not he's not it's just

they haven't found him yet

they said you could come home with us if you want to neville what's the point if

he's dead

he's not dead we'll hear something from him very soon

someone telling us he's coming back i'm sorry

but i can't think about it i can't she's all i can think about it's all

right just don't think he's dead i know the

others all think he is but i know he isn't

oh believe me he is and there's a woodpecker nesting in the

beach tree

he's such a lovely boy christopher and if he's bored at home

no it's not just that he and his father quarrel all the time i'd go mad if i

didn't separate them is it still that bad i know it's worse

he's not the son raymond wanted raymond can't hide it

he'll be uh 18 in november and raymond wants him to join the army

or the navy or the air force well you have to won't he

he says he won't

he says he's a pacifist oh he's very serious about it

trek down to the country as you put it because any night now the germans will

start bombing london and as for your clothes you seem to

forget that i went to ballet school but we didn't go around looking like tarts

of course i don't hate you i love you i may not bow your every whim as i'm

afraid your father so often daddy yes and i'm glad i don't if the way you

treat him is any guide but i do know about the theater louise

and i know how successful people dress and behave now go to your room

you never wanted me to be an actress did you

you only let me go to drama school because you thought i'd fail

and i'd have to be a cook or a typist something of which you wouldn't be

jealous i'm not going to fail because acting is

my life and i'm not going to give it up to get

married like you did go to your room

then fire watching at night and

the poor lam's worn out if philly and i have noticed

then you will as well

look if i promise to see somebody will you and philly promise to

say nothing to you

well if the specialist can help there'll be no need to

all right all right

yes polly it is certainly true that the issue of cartridges greased with cow fat

was a leading cause of the mutiny but the hindus had more general

grievances which we should not overlook

did did you mention any clearly how did you assess the causes of the

uprising i didn't do any homework miss milament

why was that clearly i thought you had sent me a very stupid subject

how dare you speak to anyone like that it doesn't matter

there's no one you could report me to is there

no one who would really mind

lesson's over i was wondering if i could take julie get out

i've just fed her she's sleeping what's that on your shirt oh leaky pen

bit here try them on they'll fit you soon

everywhere one pack equals one life-saving vaccine

an exploratory operation yes that's all it's common practice he said

have you been in a lot of pain no not a lot

but philly and rachel thought that i should see somebody about it and i did

and that's what he recommended

darling you've known for three days why wait till now to tell me

well because uh i know how busy you are at work and because

well it's honestly nothing to worry about should we go down to dinner

i think people should always talk about things

she didn't tell us because she didn't want to worry us

ouch so he says this will improve my appearance

i don't think anything will do you i thought you didn't care about your

appearance i don't absolutely not care

it's the same with my dad nobody talks about him anymore

but even zoe you can talk about him with me yes

basement and i'll pop it in there if there's the

slightest danger

you are going to sussex tonight aren't you

oh please you must see the children and give them my love

all right

your wife is doing very well mr caslit

as well as can be expected i'm sorry in what senses can be expected

well we had to remove two tumors and i'm

afraid to tell you that one was not benign you mean it could

recur the operation itself was a complete

success but i felt you should be put in the picture

she will get better won't she if the operation was a complete success

as i said it was it succeeded in what it set out to do

and she will get better from the operation

but not from the cancer

delay might very well be possible perhaps with the aid of the second

operation

only time will tell

with a lovely evening wasn't it exactly the right kind of film

i wonder why films as funny and charming as that

always french and the meal was good wow we enjoy that more than we would

have if i've been cooking i enjoy everything i do with you

world me and hawkins know all of them and we've made a pact what

yeah i've put some extra sugar in it

it gave poor phyllis a bit of a fight i know the trouble we have hanging on to

servants these days well they're not my servants

it's not my house it's not even my bloody family

all your dress allowance anyway hurry up you'll miss the train you're a

very lucky girl who've been invited

don't worry danny will be the better the ball you always are

a lovely time

the youngs is my ninja everyone's always saying how mature she

is i know darling but you know her mind is mayfair sir

hermione is a very old friend of mine yes i know danny i'm just she telephoned

this morning somebody's let her down and she needs a young girl to balance

her party so she thought to flourish mind you louise has been so difficult i

nearly called the whole thing off he should be fine when she gets there

sorry i couldn't make it yesterday very tedious

louise how lovely to see you hello ladies and gentlemen

miley please hello i offloaded lord monkworth years ago

so kind of you to come now darling the first thing we're going to do

is visit my shop and borrow something of your choice for you to wear something

really exciting would you like that yes please

couldn't you visit her tomorrow early evening before you catch your train

i have to be on duty at six no i have to catch the afternoon train

i promise i'll be back in time to reach the brig before dinner you never told me

that i'm sure i did and anyway paul sips had

such an awful time it would be terribly selfish not to pay her a visit

and would it also be selfish not to read to the brig for once just once so that

we could have more time together of course it would well i wish to god it

would be unselfish to see me but i suppose it will never be that till your

parents are dead what a really awful thing to say

you only want to do things that you feel you want to do for other people

you never do anything for yourself why should i

i have a wonderful life

and i happen to love my parents very much

i'll find my own way back

oh i am so longing to come home

we're all longing for you to be at home i i do worry

that he thinks that i should stay here longer

has he said sir no no no he he says he wants me home as soon as possible

but then he always says what he thinks that i want

even if it's not what he really wants

i just i just don't want to be a nuisance

you will never be that

all everybody wants is what's best to make you well again

thank you

you're all right paul

has opinion news from your mother daddy brought me her love he says she's

doing very well that's good

there's much more fun for me if you come anyway

all right i'll get my pad

40 love match point i am aware of that oh bugger what did you say

bugger neville says it's rude but i can say it what level is mistaken

please keep trying i want to warm the hospital but i can't get through

oh don't worry old man i'll get the official warning out soon enough to get

what do you miss most in the war hermione oh i don't know

i miss not being able to go to france i do love france

talking to france i ran into the girl at the war office the other day

he says the germans are human beings too which

of course they are well i don't want to think of them like that
