Oh, I must get going.

I may be late this evening.

I lost a point not till five.

Alright.

Oh, wait, supper.

Post come Miss B.

Well, I haven't time to
look at it now Molly.

It's mostly bills.

I'll take it.

Oh Molly you won't forget

to talk to the co-
merchant will you?

You leave him to me Miss B.

I've been doing their
washing for free

since his wife was took poorly.

She is so lucky.

I still don't know why
Mr. Roth wouldn't let you

take that job at the
dancing Academy.

Because he wants to wrap me up

in a horrid, boring little
cocoon, like father did.

You will find something.

Right, I'm off.

Goodbye Evie.

Bye.

Goodbye Molly.

Never need to miss the
Maddox won't you?

As much as I can do to make
him remember his clients.

Is that
You Beatrice?

Good morning Mr. Maddox.

I hadn't expected you
to be here already.

I stayed the night
I was working late.

Didn't seem worth going home.

What a nasty suspicious
mind you have.

I didn't say a word.

You didn't need to,

my nanny used to give
me looks like that,

when she thought I'd
been pinching sweet.

And had you?

Yes, but I'm sorry to
disappoint you in this case.

It was not an illicit
marshmallow.

my sister Penelope.

She blew in flogged me some
tickets for a charity ball

down to quick blast and
then shot up to some meeting

for emancipated vagrants, or
was it homeless feminines.

So that little sister
of yours, old pen,

She wants to involve her
in some charity work.

What Evangeline needs
this paid work.

It looks like her

she should go on the stage.

I can't see Arthur
allowing that.

Now you'll first client
is due in an hour.

Lady Cravehursthurst and her
administrative London news.

Her gown was delivered
yesterday.

She's bringing her
on the dresser.

Might I suggest Mr.
Maddox that you go

and tidy yourself up now,

then we can go through the
rest of the day's appointments

before she arrives.

Yes nanny.

My dearest Henry.

I am sorry to write
to you at your home.

I know I promised that
I never would,

but as you have not
visited me for some while

I'm afraid that something
may be wrong.

Please come as soon as possible
as I need to speak to you.

Ever your affectionate, Lavinia.

Lavinia.

lady Cravehursthurst and
as, as magnificent as ever.

The same flatterer as ever.

No, I mean it, give me a
woman in her prime any day,

rather than some battered
young debutante.

It's the difference
between an unopened bud.

And a full blown rose.

What have you done
to the place Jack?

Do I detect a woman's touch?

Yes with a whip in it.

Your gown in is hanging
in the dressing room

Lady Cravehurst.

Has my dress arrived yet?

Not yet.

Oh, that's too bad.

She was given strict
instructions to be here by 10
o'clock.

Traffics are very
devil these days.

There's still alterations
to be done.

Perhaps I can help.

Good idea.

If she doesn't show up,
Beatrice can take her place.

She's used to that
sort of thing.

Really?

My sister and I make
all our own clothes.

Is that so?

May I offer some tea or coffee?

Oh, how kind tea please?

China.

Of course.

Where did you find her Jack?

I have always considered
Lord Liverhim

to be more than a
little balanced.

Who else but a madman would
mutilate his own portrait.

Even one by Augustus John.

Lady Cravehursthurst would
you care to move your head

slightly to the left, there.

You simply snipped up
the head of pattern here

because the rest of
them fit into his safe.

That's still no before
we snip off your head.

Splended, marvellous.

And then he returned
the rest of the portrait

to Augustus's studio.

Mad as a hacker.

I suppose if you make
a fortune in soup,

it's bound to turn your
brain a little frothy.

Just one more lady
Cravehursthurst, smile.

Think, think radiants that's it.

Yes, Marvellous.

Well, I think we've got
some good ones there.

May I descend from my throne?

Allow me.

Beatrice Lady Cravehursthurst
Hurst is ready to change.

That girl is a treasure,

even though her clothes
are really bizarre.

I hope you appreciate her Jack.

Oh yes I know gold
when I see it.

The piece of chiffon was
an inspiration my dear.

I am glad you liked it.

Tell me my dear,

do you ever have time to make
clothes for other people?

If I'm unable to my sister can.

Yes.

Mr. Arthur to see you miss Evie.

Hello Evangeline.

Arthur what a surprise.

Thank you Molly.

I was seeing a client
out this way.

I thought I'd call in.

Your not wearing trousers?

Yes, made from some gloves
for fathers we found.

I sincerely hope you
don't intend to wear them

beyond these four walls.

Of course not Arthur.

Please excuse the mess I
was clearing out his desk.

Oh, that's another
reason I'm here

to collect the rest
of his papers.

I fear his estate is going to
take some while to wind up.

There's still certain
masses to look into.

Arthur.

Yes.

Those clothes we found

I was wondering whether you
knew anything about them?

Where he might have worn them?

Uncle Henry had a position
to keep up.

But they were the kind of
clothes you would have worn

to a medical conference

and one of the time he would
have worn, entertaining.

Well naturally he
required a good wardrobe.

But you suppose---

Supposition gets one no where.

But I was just---

Its foolish to indulge in it.

Be a sensible girl now,
forgetful that.

There's no point worrying
your pretty little head

anymore than you need.

Your right of course.

I'll just, find a box
to put the papers.

I leave you to lockup Beatrice.

I'm off to see pretty Peggy

and you sure the princess.

I mean, you can give me
your nanny cast as looked.

Don't forget you have an
early appointment tomorrow.

You promised you'd fit
in Mrs. Gordon Bly

and with the weekly accounts
to go through first.

Yes, nanny.

Goodnight then.

Goodnight Mr. Maddox.

Will you stop this Mr.
Maddox business.

Call me Jack for goodness sake.

Are you sure you wouldn't
prefer master Jack?

Oh, before you go,

my trial month is up tomorrow.

Will you wish me to continue?

That'd be such a mutt.

You know perfectly well I
couldn't manage without you now.

You mean it's official?

He's offered you the
job permanently.

Yes.

B that's wonderful.

Pity he couldn't have
done it with more grace.

He's such a boarish man.

He didn't see my back to me.

You have only met him once.

You should try working for him.

I wish I could orally.

You're doing marvellous
work here, Evie.

I love this design.

I just wish I could
have a proper job.

Oh you will one day.

I'm sure of that.

Sometimes I wish I was Molly.

Maybe she can go to the pitchers
once a week and dancing.

We will go out I promise.

Just as soon as we get
ourselves straight financially.

I might ask for a pay rise
now the job's been confirmed.

Do you think you should?

Why not?

I'm worth it.

I'm doing the work of three
people secretary, receptionist,

nursemaid to say nothing
of interior designer.

I have transformed that studio.

You remember the pig style wall?

Yes.

Well, you should see it now.

I'd love to.

Of course, you are right
to be concerned Arthur.

An impressionable girl
like Evangeline

should be kept in check
trousers today

Lord knows what tomorrow.

When one hears what some of
these creatures get up to

brazen young things with
no sense of modesty,

the backless dress has
much to answer for.

Indeed.

I hear that lady Haycock is
quite demented about Daphne.

One cannot open a magazine

without seeing her making
an exhibition of herself

at some nightclub

and she was such a sweet child.

Which is why I thought
sewing was a good idea.

I'm sorry dear?

Sewing for Evangeline.

It would bring in more money.

After all Beatrice salary
alone is hardly sufficient

and it would keep her at home.

Out of trouble, true.

I'll try to find her
some jobs myself.

She could copy that
Molinar Jacket

I bought at Mrs. Martinez.

You could recommend
her to your friends.

Only the very closest ones.

Gifted as Evangeline is, she
is not a trained dressmaker.

Someone there?

Yes.

Come in.

Evangeline.

Hello.

Oh nice to see you.

Beatrice said you might pop in.

I just wanted to see
the changes she'd made.

Oh and I thought it was
me you'd come to see.

Voila anything she hasn't
managed to reform yet is the
boss.

That's marvellous.

Where is she?

Oh, she's out.

She went to choose some fabrics
for some new back class.

Another of her brainwaves.

Oh I better go then.

Why don't you stay to stay.

But I'm interrupting your work.

What could be a more
pleasant interruption.

Do you know I do declare
you're even prettier

than when I last saw you.

You must let me, take
your photograph sometime.

Champagne.

No thank you.

Don't you like it?

I don't know father
never drink alcohol

except at Christmas.

You really are adorable.

Any one home?

Any person that could Penelope
always had good timing.

Hello well then,
I have bought you

a pre-publication copy of
the latest Fabian tract

scandal of the poor law.

Thank you very much.

Good old Pen.

Always trying to convert
me to serious thoughts.

Evie.

Hello.

I was going to telephone you,

do you remember that
woman you befriended

the one who collapsed
in the street.

Mrs Watkins yes.

Well I'm visiting them
again tomorrow.

I thought you might
like to come too.

Hang on Charlie wait a bit.

Knife please Violet and
I'll cut you each a slice.

Who wants the first bit.

How are you Mrs Watkins?

Tired.

She never gets no rest or
with the baby you know.

We brought some tea.

Would you like a cup?

You'll be lucky.

We've got no coal for the fire.

Then we're gonna have to
do something about fuel.

The miners do strike,
prices were rocketing more.

Oh careful miss don't dirty that

or they'll flare me alive.

Don't worry.

Where did you learn to do
such beautiful embroidery?

Always been good
with hands to me.

Well, I hope they pay
you properly for this.

This jacket would cost
a fortune in the shops.

Of course they don't
you receive the pitons.

It is flagrant exploitation.

Don't you agree?

Yes I do.

And who would be the first

and then the advertisers

or the cheeks just display

I thought the workers
had been done away with.

Only renamed.

The new institutions
are every bit as bad

and the relief payments
are inadequate as ever

so much with the
Royal commission.

Seems so awful when people
are living like that.

Worry about one's own cheap.

Well, at least it made it
possible to solve them.

Thank you.

Now the only way we're ever
going to be able to help

those in real needs, by
getting rid of the old law.

Is something worrying you?

No, there's nothing.

Come on.

Let's have it.

Of course Mrs. Fox.

I even arranged for
the photographs

to be delivered to you tomorrow.

I hope your husband will
be pleased with them.

Oh yes an excellent likeness.

I will.

Goodbye Mrs. Fox.

Are you?

Mr Maddox receptionist.

He didn't tell me he
had a receptionist,

he must be turning respectable

how to sick make him.

Thanks.

Where did you buy that?

I didn't, made it myself.

Would you like to make
an appointment miss.

Haycock Daphne, no
never make appointments.

Just blow in.

Do you smoke.

No.

I do you dare not do I
die without a gasper.

Is he still in there is he?

No, I'm afraid he's out.

Damn I'm not boring off him.

He'll be back later.

May I give him a message?

Would you be a darling
telling him as wrong,

but Putsberng is on Saturday
and he absolutely must come.

I say, I do like that.

That was one of my father's
dress shirts.

What a deavy idea.

Why didn't my dressmaker
think of it?

Give Jack a big kiss from me

and tell them all to go savages.

Yes he often went there
on medical conferences.

Oh, that's what he told us.

So you think that this Mrs.
Pearce was his mistress?

She might've been.

I wouldn't mind,

father must've been very
lonely after mother died,

but if she was, I'd
like to meet her.

What is Beatrice say?

She doesn't know much
about the letter.

I didn't want to upset her.

She's so bitter about father.

She just wants to forget
all about them.

But you don't.

I never knew my mother
being as her to remember,

father is my only parent.

Now I feel as if I didn't
know him either.

I thought perhaps Mrs.
Pearce could tell me

what he was really like.

Go ahead then, contact her.

You've got a right to know.

A day in the country.

That would be thought, I'd
make a pleasant change.

Where are you going?

We haven't quite decided yet.

Do you want the three buttons
on the cuff same Miss Amonia?

Please.

I suppose we're doing right
in letting you be friends

with the Maddox girl.

She is very well connected aunt.

But her parents are Fabian's.

She knows so much.

I wish I had gone to
a school like hers.

She even studied ancient Greek.

Oh, ancient Greek is
for blue stockings.

A pretty young girl like you

should manage more than
adequately without it.

Well, let's just hope
that through the Maddox,

you may meet a suitable
young man.

I should so like you
marry well Evangeline.

When I marry, I shall
marry for love.

Yes, of course.

Just be sure to fall in love

with someone out of
the right drawer.

A good marriage can transform
one's life.

Which making dresses, however,

proficient lives certainly
will not.

Thank goodness.

You're right.

No, I'm not.

I'm trying to sleep it off.

Do you mean that whore?

Whore, you haven't seen enough
not for the head like this.

I thought you had been
in an accident.

You realise you have
missed two appointments

I'm sure you managed to
smooth things over for me.

Yes I did by lying and cajoling

and re-arraging half
next week's diary.

Well that's all right then.

Mr. Maddox.

Stop Mr. Maddoxing
me again please.

I think it is high time you
took your work more seriously.

I'm not surprised you
have a hangover.

No doubt you spend
another evening

getting about at some nightclub

or some ridiculous womp
until an hour ago.

That's where you're
wrong isn't it?

If you must know,

I spent last night
with my best friend

who was rotting to death
from his war wounds.

Mrs Trout and you
must be Clarissa.

Would you care to take a seat.

Mr. Maddox will be ready
for you in a moment.

Nearly there.

You nervous.

Perhaps I should have
written first.

No you'd have given her

the opportunity of refusing
to see you.

She still might do that.

Not to put your foot
firmly in the door.

What are you waiting for?

Yes.

Good afternoon.

Are you Mrs Pearce?

No.

Well this is number 17.

Yes, but only Mr. Prichard
lives there.

I'm his house keeper.

Oh, well wait a minute though,

that there was a lady
lived here previous.

Yes I believe her
name was Pearce.

That was seven years ago.

Would Mr. Prichard
have her address.

I doubt it now, after
all this time.

Well, could we speak
to him please?

No miss he's away in
Bridgestone visiting his sister.

What is there anyone else

who might know her current
whereabouts?

Not as I know of they say
she kept herself to herself.

If I leave my address,
would you ask Mr. Pritchard

when he returns, it's
very important.

I think you might like
a black coffee.

Thank you.

God knows what these
photographs will be like

my eyesight is not at its best.

You can tell Mrs. Trout

and it's all the rage to have
photographs, hard to focus.

Jack.

I'm sorry I snarled
at you earlier.

I'm sorry about your friend.

We were at school together
and then Oxford, same regiment

did our first stretch in
the trenches together.

I can't actually remember
life without you.

Is he in a hospital?

No, he's in one of those
godforsaken institutions

where they put people
who weren't obliged them

by dying quickly enough.

Each time it's worse for
you as well as for me,

I know of course he can't go out

and get plastered afterwards.

What I want to do now
is forget the war.

Have a hideous moment of it.

That's why I trip the light
fantastic the way I do.

When I'm on my own I
start to look back.

You wouldn't understand.

Oh yes I do.

I understand all about
needing to forget the past.

Well, we stood there
outside the cottage.

I could imagine him

and all his finery walking
up the path,

perhaps stuffing on the
way to plaque price.

Well, the romantic you are.

Mind you being someone's
mistress of your downside better

than been his wife.

Not if you married the
right person should we?

The right person would soon
become the wrong person.

Marriage is the slavery
and this women.

My father barely existed
for me when I was small.

So was mother, he was just a
stern face behind the times,

shadow on the stairs.

Then she died.

None of Angelina was born.

She'd been warned not
to have another.

She'd had several miscarriages
before,

but he desperately
wanted to some

still she had the last laugh.

She left him with two
daughters on his hands.

How old were you then?

12 old enough to help
with the baby.

I hated her first.

I blamed her for what
happened to mother.

Would you can't hate
Evie for long.

No she's adorable.

So like mother.

Sometimes I look at her
now that she's older

and it's almost as if,

still I'm gonna make
sure she's a better life

than mother did.

Tell me about you and Penelope.

What was your childhood like?

I'd say chaos.

My parents were botinants.

We never knew where we
were going to be living.

The money is end to the next.

Spend most of our
holes on our knees

and land is places looking for
plants with long Latin names.

How wonderful.

And then when we got
back to England,

it was the human condition
that is under the microscope.

The house was always full
of reformers and Pancoast

and this pamphlet put
me on politics for life.

Nevermind Penelope makes
up for us both.

Have you ever
thought of getting married?

For the world's rights for
the longest around your neck?

You needs to get the
physical thing

out of your system though.

You mean you've, have
you Penelope?

I thought I might be missing
out on something If I didn't.

Who with?

Jack Bedros in the war.

What was that like?

I mean, I know what
actually happens.

I read it in one of fathers
radical books

but what was actually like?

Nothing to write home about.

Sex like marriage
isn't that scary?

Namely, no needed not according
to that book, no steps.

And how many men are
likely to read that?

Why is your brother
Jack never married?

He hasn't had much time
the war and things.

You want to settle
down now there?

Mind you, I pity the
poor girl who gets him.

It would be absolute
murder to live.

I'll clear up Jack.

You go home, have
an early night.

What do you and Evangeline
do in the evening?

Nothing much.

We eat, sew, read occasionally.

Don't sound very exciting.

It's what we're used to.

What about your friends?

We haven't any.

Father didn't encourage them.

No assortment of liked.

Sounds a frightful Killjoy
your father.

A killjoy ended up.

After his death I discovered
he'd had a string of mistresses

even before mother died.

Evie doesn't know, and
I don't want her to,

it would upset her too much.

My lips are sealed.

I think, I think it's high time

the Elliot sisters had some fun.

At last.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Where the hell have you been?

You know where, with Penelope.

Till this hour?

We missed the train

and had to wait for
the next one.

Train?

where did you go?

Does it matter?

Yes, it does.

This is no time to come in.

For heaven's sake you're
beginning to sound like Arthur.

Arthur maybe your guardian,
but you still live with me.

You knew who I was with

was that why you're
in such a bait?

Don't be so ridiculous.

Penelope is hardly
the sort of person

who would lead me astray.

Well, since I scarcely know her,

I'm just take your word for it.

Your jealous.

You don't mind me having
a friend, do you?

Of course I don't mind
you having a friend,

but I do mind you coming
in at all hours.

I was worried.

Oh B, lets not quarrel.

Sorry, I'm I forgive?

I'm not sure.

I'd have to punish you

by not allowing you
to go to the party.

Party, what party?

The one Jack Maddox
has invited us to.

Jack Maddox he's invited
us to a party.

I'm bringing a friend
to make up the numbers.

B that's wonderful.

Well, I didn't particularly
want to go myself,

but when it will be
a good opportunity

for us to show off our clothes.

what clothes?

The amazing creations
we're going to conjure up

between now and Saturday.

Oh, I wish we had time
to sew this properly

and this netting.

It was a miracle we had
time to finish it at all.

I just pray it doesn't fall off.

Remember that girl
I told you about?

She is so exqusite.

They're here miss B.

Oh hell they have arrived.

Jack Madox?

He looks like Douglas
Fairbank's.

What about his friend,

who's he look like
Rouder falentino?

No, he's more like Fatiaque.

You look sensational
both of you.

Let me introduce Paragren
Garstone,

commonly known as Piggy.

On account of my neat feet.

And allow me to present
Miss. Beatrice

and miss Evangeline Elliot.

How do you do?

Hello.

How do you do?

Well Beatrice shall
we lead the way?

Thank you.

Will wait you inside.

The first thing you
had to collect

was the cap off the
commissioner at the Ritz

you should have seen his face.

Then we have to pitch
policeman's helmet.

It was too funny for once.

Oh, who are they?

Two women who have just
come with Jack Maddox.

why didn't I think of
wearing something like that.

Look at this old chiffon.

Who are they?

Does anyone know?

Matter of fact they
are distant cousins.

I wonder where everyone
in the room

seems to be staring at me?

It must be the cut
of your suit Piggy.

Cheers.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Oh no.

Beatrice.

Arthur same as you I imagine.

May I introduce Jack Maddox.

How do you do?

How do you do.

Paragren Garstone.

Hello.

This is Arthur Eliot
our second cousin

and is Evangeline's guardian.

Mystery guests.

Don't tell me you made
that yourself.

Yes I did with my sister's help.

I couldn't
even get crossed at you.

Well all that matters

and you tend to wear
rather less than a stick.

May I introduce my
sister Evangeline

and this is Arthur Eliot.

Arthur this is Daphne.

We've known each other
for donkey's years.

He used to pull my
pecans when I was little.

Sins will find your house.

Hello Daphne.

Got a cigarette anybody
I'm gasping for one.

Mini, miney , more, thanks.

Why didn't you tell me you
had such devious cousins?

I'm sorry, lets have it again.

I'm sorry its my fault
I'm used to leading.

We can always swap around.

You dance beautifully.

You really think so.

I'd say you are a natural.

Come on Tommy lets show.

You don't know this song
we'll sit it out.

But I do.

She didn't learn from you.

No from Molly our maid.

Could you honestly
make me something

for my upcoming dance?

Something that will be
like everyone else

is Crisfield ball gown.

Well, I'm sure we could.

If you'd care to contact
me at Jack Maddox's studio

then we could arrange a meeting.

How lovely.

Excuse me friends.

May I speak to you
please Beatrice?

What were you doing
allowing Evangeline

to make an exhibition
of herself like that.

Stuffy, all the why
shouldn't she have some fun

for a change.

For one thing you still
supposed to be in mourning.

You shouldn't even be here.

And what about you,

aren't you supposed to
be in morning too.

Our host as a client,

I was obliged to put in
with him just as related to,

we obviously cannot
be relied upon

to chaperone your own sister.

Evangeline, was she
taking cocaine upstairs?

Beatrice you faithfully
promised me the next dance.

Sorry to drag her away.

We might need rescuing.

thank you.

Where is Evie?

What'd you thinking about?

Coal all those lights
blazing away

and they supposed
to be saving food.

I can see Penn's been
getting at you.

It does seem awful
when some people

can't even afford
to boil a kettle.

Lightful meaning to you are,

you will never change, will you?

But I want to change.

I want to learn all the
things I've never learned.

I want to find a job.

I want to help a poor.

I want my hair cut short
like that of Haycock.

Don't you dare.

You must never cut your hair.

It must look so beautiful
spread out on a pillow.

I still can't get over it.

Carrying on like that
in a public place.

I thought you said they
were in the conservatory.

If I could see them,
so could anyone else.

A little kiss at a party

hardly constitutes
a major scandal.

It might've led to one

if I hadn't intervene.

And Jack Maddox would
be a very good catch

for the girl in Evangeline's
position.

How on earth can you
say that mother?

Is he up and coming
photographer.

He has quite a reputation
in that.

Yes, as a womaniser.

Least is not a Fabian
like his parents.

who said you'd rather have
Evangeline were ravaged

than politicised.

I doubt the choices
as drastic as that.

I do think you're making
rather too much of Augustare.

I'm not having that
swine chasing after her.

I am her guardian remember.

As long as that is
your only reason.

Of course it is.

Good.

Have you seen my prayer book?

Uncle Henry entrusted
her to make care?

Well, what concerns me

far more than Jack Maddox
is amorous advances

is her getting in with
Daphne Haycock crowd

that could ruin her reputation.

She must be kept in check.

Yes, but I'm not sure
that keeping her at home

is the best solution.

With Beatrice at work
all day Evangeline

could be off anywhere
with anyone.

Perhaps I should have a
word with Mrs. Patine.

Who?

Mrs. Patine my dressmaker

about whose bills you're
always complaining.

She sometimes takes on
young apprentices.

I'm sorry Miss Eliot is out
on an errand for Mr. Maddox.

I don't know, she could
be out all day.

All right.

I'll tell her if I see her.

Arthur.

Oh no.

The telephone was
twice yesterday.

Telephone him as
soon as possible.

Pretended that I
was the handyman

and that you were
out indefinitely.

Oh, two more inquires
about dresses,

Daisy Winthrop and the
honourable Gwendolyn Povey

might, if I, even
the Elliot sisters

to make it look anything
more than a landed whale

numbers are down there.

Thank you.

I must say I'm beginning
to wonder

who is whose receptionist.

I'm sorry, but it was your idea

we use the parties
are shot windows.

As well little did I know

what I was getting
myself in for.

The ladies field at 11
I get things ready.

It was a marvellous
evening, Jack.

Thank you.

How do you think of piggy?

He was fun.

And be lethal too you know.

It wasn't the Royal flying
Corps shut down more Jerry's

then definitely Haycock
had cigarettes.

That's what everyone thought
that when pigs do fly.

What do you think of this drey?

Not bad.

Thank you.

Perhaps I should ring Arthur.

Shouldn't bother, it would
be some lecture about

not letting Evangeline
fall prey to lecturers,

photographers.

He has a point Jack.

One chase little kiss.

I don't care about Arthur,
but I do care about Evie.

She's been wandering
around like Juliet

after the balcony
scene ever since.

I know you flirt with
everyone in sight,

but she takes you seriously.

I don't want her to be hurt.

There's a letter
for yo miss Evie.

Its just coming to second
post from Bournmoth.

Thank you Molly.

I am sorry Beatrice.

It will not wait until tomorrow.

I wish to see you and
Evangeline here in my office

this afternoon, then it will
have to request time off.

No, it's not.

I've already expressed my
feelings on that matter,

concerns your father's estate.

Not on the telephone, no.

Let's say three o'clock
shall we?

I leave you to inform
Evangeline.

The Eliot house.

Yes, oh its you Miss B.

Well, no you can't.

She's gone out.

I don't know.

She didn't say.

Well, I don't understand it.

She said she'd be working flat
out on ideas for Babs Carew.

And is probably wist
her off somewhere.

Well I wish you wouldn't.

I have to go and see
all that on my own.

Why couldn't he have told me
what it was on the telephone

instead of leaving me worrying.

Mrs. Pearce.

Yes.

I'm Evangeline Elliot.

Poor Henry.

I knew something
must've happened

when he stopped coming
to see me.

I'm sorry you had to
find out like this.

At least I've met you now.

I always wanted to meet
you and Beatrice,

but of course it
was not possible.

How long had you and my
father known each other?

25 years.

Quarter of a century.

You met one mother
was still alive.

It wasn't that he
didn't love her.

He was always a dutiful husband,

but Henry, I was a young widow.

It suited us both.

He bought me the cottage
in Bournemouth.

When my mother died
why didn't he---

Marry me.

Don't think I didn't try to
persuade him for the boys sake

but he was always so concerned
about his reputation.

The boy?

Yes we had a son, Sebastian.

Your half-brother he'd be.

Oh I'm sorry, my dear I didn't
mean to let it out like that.

It's the shock of it all.

How old is he?

24 now, a fine young man.

There is a look of
Henry about him.

Henry When I first knew him.

There he is 13.

When he first went to
his public school, rugby.

He went to rugby?

Then up to Cambridge,
Henry insisted.

He always said,

"My son is going to
have the best education

"that money will buy."

And to hell with his daughters.

Well since Evangeline does
not appear to be joining us

in spite of your message.

I can only imagine she has
gone to show her designs

to Barbskrun.

I better proceed without her.

You said it was a matter
of grave importance.

Yes, I'm afraid you must
steal yourself Beatrice

and try not to become emotional.

Things are even worse
than we thought

I heard from another
of your father's

so-called stockbrokers
this morning

seems that some years back,

uncle Henry bought
stock on credit,

giving the deeds of the
house as security.

The debt has only been
partially redeemed.

What exactly does that mean?

It means that your home
is two thirds mortgaged.

Evangeline.

Oh come and join us darling
the more the merrier.
