FOOTSTEPS

Let's have a look. Oh.

Nurse Jane, our laundry hasn't arrived.

All right, well, I'll be with you in a minute.

Er...

No, thank you.

Out you go.

Go on, out.

Now look. Go on, out.

You've broken enough.

DOOR SLAMS

Operator.

Hello, operator.

Bayswater 2704, please.

Bayswater 2704.

One moment.

Hello? Yeah, yes, hello.

Good morning, this is, um...

..er, Miss Rivoli from Malory Towers.

I was hoping to speak to someone about the nurse you sent us.

Right...

I thought as much.

Why are you using the telephone again, Darrell?

I was just speaking to the nursing agency.

They said that they never sent anyone to Malory Towers.

Well, it sounds like they're a little, uh, confused.

I mean...

..how would I have got here

if they didn't send me?

I don't know, but...

They said a woman cancelled the booking the night

that you arrived here.

I mean, are you even a real nurse?

Of course I am.

Then I hope you know you could get barred from practising for this.

RECEIVER BANGS DOWN

I can explain. You'll have to do your explaining to Miss Grayling.

Listen to me!

Please, Darrell.

You needed a nurse, and when I arrived everyone assumed

I was the one you were waiting for.

I... I only wanted to help.

Help? OK, it got harder and harder to come clean.

So then who are you, really?

I...

No?

You have to come clean to Miss Grayling.

Oh!

Oh!

Ah!

Oh!

CAR HORN TOOTS

This all sounds very strange, Darrell.

I think I should take charge from here.

But...

Matron, you're back early.

I am sorry for the lack of notice,

but I was given no notice either.

My sister's wedding was cancelled.

Cancelled? But why?

Well, when a girl leaves a man at the altar,

well, that's what tends to happen.

Darrell Rivers, what has happened to your foot?

I just sprained it, but it's not important.

We really need to tell you about your replacement.

What about her?

I don't believe that she's a real nurse.

An impostor?!

In the san!

Miss Grayling, I can only apologise.

When I get my hands on her,

she will rue the day that she was born!

As if I didn't have enough on my plate with my wooden-headed sister.

I hope you've called the police.

Miss Rivers, let's get you to the san

and you can show me the damage this contemptible woman has done.

Come along.

Hello?

CLANGING

Clarissa, is that you?

Is what me?

I...I thought I heard something come from that corner.

CLANGING

CLANGING

LOUD METALLIC CRASHING

CLANGING

LOUD METALLIC CRASHING

Oh! Oh!

DONKEY BRAYS THEY SCREAM

Oh, my giddy aunt! A donkey!

Look at this boy.

You scared the living daylights out of us.

Well, that explains all the noise.

Looking for food, eh?

Where do you think he came from?

There's probably a fence down somewhere.

I bet your owner's missing you, eh?

Come on, let's get this off your foot.

Oh, his hooves needs a good trim.

He looks filthy, too.

What is his owner thinking?

Come on, let's get him fed and watered.

He must be starving.

He can't stay here.

Who knows?

Maybe he can.

I came as soon as I could.

What's happened?

Where's Nurse Jane?

Matron Shipley.

Sally Hope.

Stop interfering in matters that don't concern you.

But Sally and I were right.

Nurse Jane is a fraud.

Oh, crikey.

Well...

..let's see the mess she's left me with.

Hospital corners.

What about the cupboards?

Bandages sorted by size.

An organised impostor, at any rate.

But, Matron... Up with the ankle, please, Darrell.

Elementary.

But obviously that charlatan won't have said a word.

Funny enough,

she said nothing else.

She was so adamant,

that she confiscated Darrell's crutches. Yes, but...

Sh, Darrell.

Rest.

Let's have a look.

Huh!

This is a very well bound foot.

Are you sure about these accusations?

Yes, listen.

Last night I saw her going through your things.

I mean, she was holding your...

Oh, it's unlocked.

Wristwatch.

Brooch, letters.

My locket.

It's not here.

DOOR OPENS

Come on.

Nurse Jane, is that you?

Er... Oh, hello, girls.

What are you doing?

Just, er...

..looking for, er, herbs for our poultice.

Maybe try the kitchen garden?

THEY GIGGLE

To the pool. If we're quick we can beat the first formers.

Oh, I think I forgot my book on plants.

I left it in the san. Would one of you run and fetch it?

Oh, but...

It's in my suitcase.

Perhaps you could just bring the whole thing.

We're going swimming.

Right. We'd love to help, but there's only an hour before lunch.

We'll get it afterwards if you still need it.

Sorry. Bye, Nurse Jane.

BELL TOLLS

Miss Grayling...

..we're extremely upset about the state of him.

He's terribly old.

30 at least.

Oh, ancient.

It is for a donkey.

Can't we take care of him?

Next year's fair,

we could do guess the age of the donkey.

Oh, we used to have donkey rides at our fair.

We could keep him at the paddock.

Clarissa, the donkey belongs to someone.

Somebody who doesn't even care about him.

Wait.

It can't be.

Oh, my goodness, I think that's him!

What? George?

Used to belong to the Major's daughter.

Well, neither of them are taking much care of him now.

Why don't you wait outside? I'll call him.

All right.

Thank you, Miss Grayling.

Petty cash is here.

All the rest of my bits and pieces.

I suppose I should be grateful this woman didn't take the lot.

I just don't understand. Why the locket?

She must have thought it was of value, which it certainly is not.

Matron Shipley, if it isn't valuable, why are you so upset?

Like everything in life...

..it's what's inside that counts.

The police will find her and they'll bring it back for you.

All that trouble for a bit of silver plate? I doubt it.

What a week.

First, a vanishing act at the wedding,

and now this.

Matron.

Matron. Sally.

Yes, of course, I appreciate it.

Goodbye.

Clarissa.

The Major will have George collected this afternoon.

But he can't go back.

He's clearly out in all weathers.

Donkeys aren't waterproof.

I have told the Major he needs to find a better solution for George.

Such as?

Donkeys have to be kept with other animals.

He must be so lonely, no wonder he ran away.

Clarissa, you must understand,

George is the Major's property.

We can't just keep him.

Even if he doesn't actually want him?

Now, now, the Major agrees with me,

George is an extremely old donkey

and needs to go to a very special place.

But Miss Grayling...!

Now, time for you and June to say your goodbyes.

What am I to do, eh?

DONKEY BRAYS

Nurse Jane. Oh, and a donkey.

Nurse Jane, what are you doing here?

Oh, what's up with this old boy, eh?

Er, he ran away from home.

Well, I'm sure he had his reasons.

He wasn't being treated well at all.

Would you like to give him an apple? Yes.

Oh!

And, girls, I have a...a problem.

Um...

Your matron, she's back early, and, um,

she's in a furious mood.

Sounds like old Shipshape. But she can't be angry with you.

Oh, she really is.

Um, it's...it's a long story.

A misunderstanding, I'm sure.

Clarissa will probably be back with Miss Grayling any minute.

I'm sure she'll sort it out.

Oh, well, thing is,

I need to leave.

I have a bus to catch to my next job...right now.

That's awfully short notice.

Isn't it just? Um...

Problem is, my case is still in the san.

Um, would one of you perhaps fetch it for me?

The wrath of Matron and all that.

Please help me, girls.

I'll go.

You just wait here with June.

Oh, I could, um, meet you on the south steps.

Not so far for you to carry my case.

If that's what you prefer.

Oh, it's under the bed. A red one.

Hurry now.

KNOCKING

Yes?

Here you go, Matron.

Darrell.

It's hers.

What? Maybe there's a clue inside.

We could use it to track her down.

Maybe the locket was in there all along.

Matron.

Her suitcase, it's under the bed.

Let me look.

Oh.

Clothes, books.

There's no name tags.

No papers.

No locket.

Must be.

Oh, there's this handkerchief with initials in the corner.

Maybe that's a clue.

Initials won't be enough.

Why are you going through Nurse Jane's case?

Felicity Rivers, what did you say her name was?

Nurse Jane?

Where's that handkerchief? What were the initials?

JS. The J stands for Jane. I wonder what the S could stand for.

It stands for Shipley.

I should know, I stitched those letters there myself.

But how?

Matron.

Your sister... Vanished before the wedding. Yeah.

Nurse Jane came here for you?

No wonder she took the job. Where else could she go?

That's why she wanted the locket.

Her picture was inside, and so was yours.

Right.

I'm going to tell Miss Grayling to call off the police.

Matron Shipley, how wonderful, you can be reunited.

After all the bother and shame that girl has caused?

She's still your little sister.

It's just as well she's run off.

I hope she keeps going!

Matron, don't you think if she came here to find you,

maybe she's in trouble?

I should say so. Her fiance was furious.

You're not upset?

Well, no.

No, not really.

Well, maybe she had her reasons.

That's exactly what she just said about the donkey.

He must have had his reasons.

Felicity, do you know where she is?

Why didn't you say something right away?!

Because, Matron, you seemed so angry! Excuse me?

Sorry, sorry.

She asked me to fetch her case.

She's waiting on the south steps.

Matron, she seemed so upset and afraid.

Oh, so she should be.

We can't let them meet like this.

We have to go after her.

Don't worry, I'm always on these things.

You'd better be or else I'm putting you in the linen basket.

Right!

I'm so sorry, boy.

You have to go back to the Major now.

CAR ENGINE OUTSIDE

That must be him.

Bartlett & Sons. Wait.

Bartlett!

Is that what Miss Grayling meant by taking care of him?

What? Who are they?

Bartlett's is an abattoir.

They're going to kill him?

Oh, George.

They can't put you to sleep.

I won't let them.

But what can we do?

Um...

You keep him inside,

keep him quiet.

I'll think of something.

Jane?

Pauline.

I have come here to tell you...

..I am utterly...

..livid!

Oh, no, they've already met.

Well, isn't that a turn-up?

Oh!

Goes to show a big sister will always love her little sister,

no matter what.

You made a difficult decision in leaving, Jane.

I realised he was the wrong man

and that was the wrong life for me.

The strength to say no to the wrong things

is as important as agreeing to the right ones.

No woman should have to put up with a life they do not want.

What life do you want?

Well...

..a career for a start -

in nursing or matroning.

Miss Grayling, do you think the South Tower could do with another

Shipley to lick them into shape?

Nurse Jane, didn't you say you wanted to work in London?

Enjoyment of a capital city?

Yes, very much.

Live in the big smoke?

Oh, all that noise and dirt?

CLOCK CHIMES

Miss Grayling, do you happen to know of any good London day schools

looking for a matron?

Yes.

I have a few contacts.

I'll call round first thing.

Really?

But know you're always welcome here, just say the word.

Thank you so much,

both of you.

Oh, Pauline, I almost forgot - the locket.

Look after it for me for now, Jane.

That way I know we'll see each other again soon.

Won't you mind nurse Jane leaving again so quickly?

We'll have tonight to catch up.

She still needs to give me a full handover after all.

Which reminds me,

one of the stink bombs is missing from the confiscation shelf.

Any ideas?

When he turns up, we'll call you right away.

You got rid of them?

Well, by lying.

It was for a good cause.

You're a heroine, Clarissa.

You saved his life.

It's not saved yet.

Once they've talked to the Major, they'll be back.

He's bought and paid for.

How can Miss Grayling do this to George?

A special place indeed.

Ending his life for no good reason.

I won't let it happen.

Me neither.

But what are we going to do? Tonight...

..we'll hide him.

And tomorrow...

Tomorrow we'll come up with a plan.
