isolated incident or is it your custom

to go to such

houses what business is that of yours

we're colleagues you're a doctor we're

meant to have certain standards and you

live up to those standers do you

probably not but I don't buy the

services of some poor desperate wretch

to lie beside me unfortunate you

are how long have you been visiting Mrs

Lander's house I do not visit her house

I visit

Rose I've done so for a few

years even before your wife

died but we were to be married

you were going to marry

me I didn't see how well we were engaged

but you would have been quite safe I was

very particular about the women I chose

and what we did together how often have

I heard that from men with the most

terrible diseases I have no disease

other than hypocrisy a little less

crippling than sanctimony I thought you

were the one person I could trust and

talk to try major Quarry he's going

away in two weeks he'll be

gone

oh

badly per little

Pier something if she's not careful I'll

amateur make do and mend if we are to

attract funding we must be professional

respectable organized what sort of award

is it to be have you

decided

yes

surgical

mixed

mixed very well uh male or

female well let's hope that Mr barley

who is no one's fool can be fobbed off

with a couple of perhapses and May and

before you go there's something I should

tell you both well now at this very

moment I have to send this to Mr

Barkley I've been thinking about what

you said last

week about taking a rest and of course

you're quite right so uh I've arranged

to go away for a while stay with

make Dr marsham take a couple of weeks

off actually I'll be away for a few

months the whole summer very nice summer

doing all the work just so stupid you're

ill and then there's the interviews

doctors to cover for your absence let's

discuss it later and I've delayed Mr

Barkley you seem to be getting on very

well with Mrs Bruce

some appreciation thanks to her for the

first time ever we have enough supplies

enough staff money in the bank to

provide it's no more than her job we

don't receive Applause at every turn and

neither will she and she may as well

go oh for God's sake go cough up your

sped and go to bed see the dressings

go Nelson Reed if you go cross-eyed and

stop like it it'll be God's judgment if

I end up seeing two of you I'll have no

complaints all right when I heard about

sorting the m in there your e is just

about at the end of her tether the place

appropriate it didn't occur to you to go

along with the policeman one look at a

Bobby and it would have thrown the girl

at

you for a square meal she would have

come of her own free will well it's done

what will you do arrest me

I'll repay the money that really isn't

the point Mr Barkley is due here this

evening I've asked him to preach to the

patience and you're afraid that poor

little Jame will shock him to his

non-conformist soul he'd expect to see

the deserving poor the ill the dying you

have made yourself feel better than

making a silly headstrong emotional

gesture and in so doing jeopardizing our

best hope of funding I saved a child

that girl won't be here for 5 minutes

and you know it your behavior my

behavior has nothing to do with with you

I'm afraid it

has now you will do me the courtesy to

listen to what I have to say your

behavior is causing me great concern

maybe a relative and I'm very grateful

for your hospitality I am not here as

your father's cousin I'm here to

administer this hospital and I cannot do

so if you persist in behaving like a

hooligan and a hussy all over London it

must

stop I'm

sorry no excuse me please I have work to

do we cannot all indulge ourselves by

running around the streets pursuing our

latest

whim don't you care at all about Dora

the child of the woman

you what is the phrase

visit I can't believe that Mrs Landers

would allow that yes you can you're as

worried as I am you just can't bear to

admit it Mrs Landers ran a respectable

house no Joe she didn't do you think I'd

have gone there if child prostitution

was on the bill of fear well maybe it

was but you didn't know Rose would never

have put daora in that kind of

danger oh

God will you help me find

her it's it's not hopeless is it I found

Jane who stumbled upon

her Ellena Mr bar give him my apologies

he'll want to see you he has enough

people here to fa and caught him go on

then Waste Your Time insult Mr Barkley

throw away the best opportunity we've

had you see a great big exciting future

every time you close your eyes do you

you're very fortunate all I see is a

crying child

[Music]

we'll have no obscenities no

blasphemies Mr Barkley is a decent

respectable man we won't upset him

respectable men are best in that white

rose hold your t

you know nurse Rose has had a

professional gentleman visiting her for

years I don't want to hear anything

about any gentleman from you miss you

don't know what the word

means cover yourself up pull your hair

back tie it back good Heavens what have

you put on your face it's just a bit

color

Rouge she's only rouged herself like the

Harlot she is scrub your face Miss will

not when do you know I'm nurse a nice

pink

glow still nurses never blush today

things they see and things they

do is it true what they say about nurses

it I I just think it's a hopeless task

of all the teaming London Millions why

must you alone look after these people

rescue them tend them menend them feed

them if I don't who will there's no one

else

you said you love me for my independent

Spirit must you have quite so much of it

throw yourself on a

mercy she came home hours after the

householder retired and left again

been here by now something must have

intervened oh no doubt something

Elementary uniform we're expected in Mr

Barkley's office in 30 minutes you'll

have to come in her place I'm not good

at that sort of thing well as long as

you don't run off with a soldier you'll

do the boys always called for a cab you

can familiarize yourself with the

figures while we wait the new Ward will

cost £500 a year to finance we around

the whole place clinics in Orland less

than that oh yes but that was in the bad

old days Dr marshan BB for Barkley oh

before Bruce sorry Mrs Bruce no I'd like

to think so before

Bruce I'd like to think that i' made a

difference I never thought that this

place would be so well it's

very exciting isn't it

rewarding I think so I've led a calm and

comfortable life Dr

Martian too calm this

is

invigorating well I'll remind you that

in a year

time your captain Mrs

Bruce these salad are what you would get

at any other hospital no more and no

less the senior Physician's salary cols

the fact that he has to supervise an

enlarged star she she has to supervise

the star possibly if she can tear

herself away from whatever gay young

blade is taking her fancy at the

time good morning Mrs

Bruce Mr Barkley I hope we're not

late uh you know Dr Marshall of course

no Dr Bramwell again today

um unfortunately no no matter I'm sure I

have before me the heart and soul of the

two stalt

hearts I even dream about the

baby I know that I have to do this

I long for the

child every bit of me Longs for

it but there's no question of marriage

when a woman sins she should not expect

the man with whom she has been immoral

to marry her every man wishes for a

chaste

wife the baby's due at the end of

September I thought that if I arrived in

June and left 3 weeks after the birth

weeks postnatal is the

custom you are no different from any

other woman in your

circumstances no I'm sure and we will

decide when you should arrive and when

you must leave

us you'll bring two sets of garments and

a blanket for the

child if the father is destitute I have

my own

money please this this is very painful I

love the child's father the only love

Within These Walls is Christ

love furnish yourself with several Rags

for your personal use after the birth

you will be attended by the infam Marian

sister and you will do as she instructs

you you have a proud manner

Miss

Buton let us hope that we are able to

teach you

humility

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I expect there will be some tears along

the way you'll both have to learn how to

Delegate for a start I have to learn

what it means first ma'am it means Ring

The Roost giving orders bossing and

bustling it's what you do best no Scot

it means employing someone else to do

the donkey work leaving you to do bigger

and better things never again do I want

to see you putting out the laundry or

you scrubbing down this table for an

operation here she

is Helena just in time glass of

champagne

have we found

Dora is this to celebrate that she's

back with her mother tell me did we find

her before she was raped or

after thank you I have no appetite for

champagne Mrs Bruce has got us lots of

money for the new Ward Mr Barkley's

money enough to employ three more nurses

and a part-time doctor to equip a

laboratory and to provide us with

champagne I should be careful Dr marsham

you may get a taste for it I think You'

had a damn sight less champagne in my

life than you've had in yours Dr

Bramwell I'll get on with my work

then Mr Barkley supporters in

recognition of all your hard work over

the years we both wanted you to be there

but you wound again I'm dead on my feet

doing your work as well as mine Mrs

Bruce's achiev what we both thought was

impossible but you still stand there

like an avenging

Angel what do you want us to do

to spare a thought for

Dora to care to show some small

concern it's going on all over

London it's a a trade a trade in

children while we carry on our lives day

in and day out small children

are

traded like lumps of meat you have to to

decide what we are doing here are we

tending the sick or rescuing children Mr

Barkley is concerned that your interests

are not I'm so sick of that man's

name he is concerned that your interests

and priorities are not always with the

patience here at the thrift how dare he

how dare some Pious

moneymaking well padded hypocritical

bloody industrialist you're over tired

Ellena Dr will you call a cab I'll take

Ellena home with

me choose a

card Jan get your clothes on I'm

winning get your clothes on now game's

over stand up hey we're in the middle of

a game me money Dr Brown what you doing

what's happened that's not her frog hers

is

downstairs they ain't got no boots

Miss

I've had enough lectures it's time I

gave one you too savior of the thrift I

think it's time he understood the world

he's entering peel away the onion skin

show him what lies underneath you're

over they won't listen to you but I'll

just have to shout won't I turn into the

mad woman on the street corner H don't

know excuse me I don't understand

you have nothing to say to you I'll go

back in shall I no not shake me off

Helena you don't want the child what

more is there to say I didn't say that

but you're a doctor I thought you

wouldn't let this happen it was clumsy

stupid revealing it was a shock I had no

time to think didn't you have any wild

thoughts when you first realized do you

want maor Quarry to go Elena it's a

little late to come Galloping in on your

white charger isn't it

Joe on the one side I have a colleague

who frequents

broal who stands by while a child is

taken into prostitution who watches

happily while Mrs Bruce takes over the

infirmary I founded over which I have

wept Tears of Blood you left her no

choice you're hellbent and destroying

everything we've watched for on the

other side of me I have this Noble

soldier who has made me pregnant and is

about to March away to

war and you wonder why I'm so determined

to find

Dora there has to be one tragedy I can

salvage I'm sorry Dr Marshall this is

unforgivable this is

so there's no need for

it we will

marry we must marry the child must have

a father so it will but not you it will

have a mother but not me it's to be put

out for adoption it's all arranged

there's a Convent that'll take me for my

confinement and I'll never hear another

word about my child nor will you so you

what a relief back to Conquering the

world Strike Up the Band this is

nonsense stop it talk to me go away and

leave me alone God we can't of become

enemies overnight no you don't have

enemies I have enemies Dr marsham has

enemies even nurse car and Mrs Bruce

because we all believe in something

you you stand for nothing you wear a

uniform you despise figh in a war you

don't believe in you claim to be

appalled by the predicament of poor Dora

but see no reason to do anything about

it and when you told you're to become a

father you flare around looking for

someone to

blame when you look in the mirror is

there anyone there looking back at

you

[Applause]

she's ill Dr marsham you just have to

look at her she's ill this isn't our Dr

Bramwell I'm afraid it

is

he

here

pure good morning Mr Barkley do you know

Jane Jane this is Mr Barkley tell Mr

Barkley how old you are Jane give over

Miss Jane is 12 she's a prostitute Miss

don't it could be a magistr Miss

Bramwell you bought a doll at the

auction almost as pretty as Jane you

paid 5 guines for it I didn't strike

quite such a good bargain Jane cost me

£25 oh don't mind me do you think Christ

would consider £25 too much to pay for

this soul

Christ already paid for her

soul oh well that's all right then we

needn't do anything for anyone ever need

we if everyone is already safe in the

arms of the Lord Miss branwell there is

a terrible trade in children a silent

secret Market in innocence not three

miles from this Bible there are men and

women who sell children who use them and

children as young as six can be found in

broel and a girl aged 10 gave birth only

last year and even boys are subjected to

degrading

practices you hope to Shock Me Miss

Bramwell I'm a little too old for that

Christians should be innocent not

ignorant how can you be anything but

shocked how can you know about it and do

nothing you assume a great deal Miss

branwell no one is doing anything no one

wants to know what about the

salvationists working with destitute

children or Charities for abandoned

orphans I'm talking about child

prostitutes every deserted child is in

danger of prostitution that's what these

Charities are fighting only unlike you

they don't shout rape from every rooftop

and they're the people who understand

the problem and can do the most

good

SH now have you informed the police

about what you discovered or about the

people who sold this child to

you

no no I I will of course I will but I

was just so worried about it's not your

job to go chasing after lost children

your parity should be the thrift it's

patience and your colleagues struggling

on without

you everything you say is true but I

can't give up as a child even younger

than

Jane didn't Christ say that the Good

Shepherd left his whole flock to seek

out one lost lamb you're not the good

Lord but in his

absence I'm sure he'd

understand

you should have heard the Things She

Said to a big important gentleman I

wouldn't mind but they're not your boots

and M's too big I'm half

crippled she run me through the streets

like a common

criminal she wouldn't treat no one else

like she treated

me I thought she lik me she hasn't got

time to go around liking

people too busy saving them and curing

them of course she likes you she

don't we all like

you when he wasn't here sir I was trying

to talk to Mr brw a waste of time I put

everything off sir said you were with

the pay

Master

twisted speech sir I like that coming

from

artist put on a filthy ball flag flying

looking for an 8-year-old girl in the

East 10 you thought she'd fallen in

Salvation Army and the

police they may be able to help find

about how can you cope with this on your

own who

we're

together we'll decide to be happy and

we'll be

happy happy

with a man who doesn't love me of course

I love

you God's sake Elena of course I love

you then why didn't you propose to me

weeks ago before I was expecting our

child why did you never say you love me

because I'm a

fool you don't want to marry me or

anyone

else and even if you did your precious

Army wouldn't let

you and that is all you want I've lost

count of the times you've told me about

your glittering career your friends

battles and

Adventures and now you're to be tied to

a dull boor

woman if you're looking for a happy

ending

Kai there isn't one

not now

Jan

£25 I hope that CL this is the matter

well in as much as the accounts are

balanced Jane is safe Dora's dead the

story's ended well not quite Ellena

me and I hope that you know as your

friend I will always care for you and

you will always have a home with me for

one Patron loses confidence and I must

be scolded like a child no not scolded

thrift you can't dismiss me from the

thrift I am the

thrift I'm

sorry Dr marsham spoke up for

you but not too loud eh Don't Put this

onto my shoulders Elena you've done it

all on your own what did you think you

would achieve by waving Jane under his

nose Dr marsham has agreed to be our

senior

physician you must be

delighted out from my shadow at last we

warned you we begged you but you

wouldn't listen

you're Invincible you're bdia you're set

apart from the rest of

humanity you're not

Elena no one is and after all

that Dora is dead it was all for nothing

Dora and for

Rose and for me so that I could live

with myself Dora Rose and

[Music]

mouth ISAT

deprived me of last week I've been

dismissed I

know I call you at the thrift Mr Martian

told

me I am

sorry

well there you are the people I trusted

most I'm now Lady of leure I've said

goodbye to the thrift and everything I

know I know it's exhausting I feel that

be wiped out shaking all those hands

signing all those

[Music]

documents what have you done I one of

care and moth BS and I from head to toe

are you

grateful

you've left the Army why you wage war on

thousands of people you don't even know

when you can make life miserable for the

one woman that you love I've ruined your

life you've made sense of it when you

told me about the baby you were

horrified appalled stunned when the shot

was over it was like winning the Derby a

TR rugby winning the boat

race run quickly you love me I had

nothing else it filled the days

persuaded the world that I was a grand

fellow it was a consolation whilst I

waited for the prize to show itself and

then she did did

[Music]

[Music]

she one you got your purse and the money

in it thanks it's a good place not too

strict Polly knows it she's been there

twice before completely reformed once a

year she

is they know about your lung they won't

expect you to work too hard not at first

anyway works good takes your mind of the

things you've lost doesn't

it then the both of us should be the

hardest working in the whole

empire it's the only thing I've did

properly being a mother I know some

wouldn't

agree then they' be

wrong very

wrong m

I won

a you said we needed a laundry girl I

didn't have a child prostitute in mind

she's a strong little thing full of life

wonderful idea and when she's washed a

sheet she can climb between them with a

patience Dr Mar it's what Dr bramel

wanted and I'd have thought that counted

for something well yes of course it does

but let's settled it then she can sleep

in the Attic but we're turning into a

home for whs and Strays are we but she

must understand that one blot on her

coffee book and she's out well and what

if she upsets her whole bloody ink well

then the nurses will clean it up for you

Dr marsham as

usual uh tell Jane I'd like to see her

please and see if you can find an apron

that fits

her I've been thinking about the baby I

look strong like his father clever like

his mother and beautiful like I don't

know one of us must have a beauty in the

family somewhere I wish you'd look where

you're going if we kill someone you'll

bring them back to

life look where you're going and don't

be so silly it's true there's nothing

you can't do never met anyone like you I

adore you I can't live without you I'm

so proud of you everything you've done

everything you

are I love
