Why, Denise!

Now my day's all sunshine!

Come in!

Let me take your coat.

Aye. It's not...just a visit?

I'm sorry, Uncle. I know I should
have written to say I was coming,

but I'd made up my mind
that it was time so...

Well, that's...

Denise, I...

I know I always said you would come
here one day, and you will,

you will, I swear it.

Things will pick up, and once
they do, you and I will...

Surely business can't be so bad?

Perhaps in a few months' time.

Moray. Saturday's figures?

�153.

We did it.

"We" did it? OK.

Oh, Lord, don't you dare!

What? That look you're wearing!

What look is that? Restlessness,

upheaval, trouble! Admit it -

you have something on your mind!

Was madam looking for
any particular department?

No, thank you. I was hoping...

I'm looking for work.

Oh. Try ladieswear department,
first floor.

The girl from there has...left.

Ask for Miss Audrey. Thank you.

When Miss Audrey looks down her nose
at you, remember this -

she shaves her top lip!

I'm Sam, by the way.

You're supposed to tell me
your name, now! Oh, I'm Denise.

Well, Denise, you're a country girl,
aren't you? Is it so obvious?

Here.

A touch of blue ribbon.

Might distract them from your boots.

Draw their attention to your eyes.

Thank you.

Can you help me, please? I need to
speak to Miss Audrey.

Cleaners should report
to the back door.

I was hoping for a position
working here.

A position? In ladieswear?!

Then I must introduce you to
our head of department at once!

Miss Audrey, this young lady
seems to think you might like
to take her on!

My name's Denise, ma'am. I believe
you may have an opening for
a sales girl. I may have.

Do you have experience?

I worked in my local draper's store,
ma'am, in Peebles.

I shall have to take your word for
it that Peebles has a draper's shop.

Good morning, Miss Audrey.
Morning, girls. Please, carry on.

Do you have a testimonial?

Yes, ma'am.

Mr Lovett!

Are you his niece?

Yes, ma'am. Is that Edmund Lovett?

Yes, sir. Did he send you here?
No, sir.

Well, the fact that Lovett
can't find work for his niece

in his own establishment, I will
gladly oblige a neighbour.

That is if Miss Audrey should choose
to take you on.

The application will proceed
in the usual manner, Miss Lovett.

We will write to you.

Thank you.

Darling, my father has agreed
to speak with you, I mean about
the loan for your store.

Thank you, Katherine.

It is most kind of you
to offer this.

Papa tried to tell me
that you must go back to the bank.

But I glared at him

and he is decidedly more amenable!

He will try to be grumpy, but you
will charm him in five minutes!

Well, I hope that once he hears
my plans,

he will see that it is
good business.

I will help you.

Is he inside?

He will be shortly.

Darling, I have invited some friends
for tea.

They have been pestering me
to meet you.

I can't keep you secret any longer!

Will you join us?

I always told your ma...

"Denise will be the one who takes on
my business."

That's still true today.

There was a time that place was
no bigger than my own.

Emmerson's, it was called then.

James Emmerson.

How did Mr Moray get the store?

He married Emmerson's daughter,
soon after old James passed away.

Mr Moray is married? He was.

Some people say he got lucky.

I don't say that.

In the last two years, that place
has eaten half the street.

His wife died?

Someone has to stop him.

Uncle?

I've been offered a position
at The Paradise.

You can't, Denise!
I must work, Uncle.

I must earn a wage
or how will I survive here?

And a perfume I had especially
imported from Morocco.

It is so intoxicating,

one wisp of it...

..and I find myself
utterly hypnotised,

beyond all sense.

I dare not let myself imagine
what they put into it!

Oh, really! You must come
to The Paradise, ladies.

To try the fragrance. Perhaps.

I have heard that it is entirely
possible that one may find oneself

at the same glove counter
as a grocer's wife!

Imagine buying the very scent
a butcher's daughter is wearing!

I'm sure the grocer's wife would be
greatly relieved

that she does not have to stand
beside your celebrated radiance,
ladies.

It is, however, my loss, and
I must satisfy myself by giving my
attention to the butcher's daughter.

But I will wait in my store, ladies,

in the hope that one day soon
you will come to me.

'If there is a more attractive man
within a hundred miles,'

I will kiss my husband!

He is utterly adorable, Katherine.

He is talking to your father
rather intensely.

My question for you, Moray, is this.

Does the world truly need
more perfumes and petticoats?

Need is not the issue, sir.

I deal in appetite.

There's a weakness in women which
we must exploit to the advantage
of business.

I know you've been turned away
by every bank in town, Moray.

Women are fickle.

Can you guarantee they'll go on
spending their money

on your perfumes and fripperies?

I see that I must show you
conclusively

what The Paradise can do.

Has he proposed to you?
What a question to ask!

That is no kind of a denial,

which means that he has.

Katherine, how wonderful!

Please, you must say nothing.

We have hardly spoken about it.

But we must celebrate!

It will be the event of the year!

Why Moray?

Of all the men you could have
chosen, Katherine, why him?

He'll conquer the city. I'm not sure
he'll make much of a husband.

You said no, and made him wait?

He's convinced he can prove to me
that his store is irresistible.

Perhaps it is. But you must let him
feel you're unsure.

He brings out something in you
that disturbs me.

It is only the chase, Papa.

You're Denise, aren't you?
I'm Arthur. Follow me.

Keep up!

I know every face in this place.

And every name, and all.

Don't look so worried!
Everyone here had their first day.

Except me! Howay!

See that there?
That's where I was born.

There you are. Anything you need
to know, ask Arthur.

Girl, dallying is considered a sin
in a department store.

I hope you're not going to be
a dallier. Are you a dallier?
No, Miss Audrey, I was just...

No time for chattering, girl.
Here is your uniform.

You may change in ladieswear today.
From tomorrow, you must arrive
ready for work.

Just in time, Pauline. Why must you
always be just in time?
Sorry, ma'am.

It was my hair got caught
in my dress! Sorry!

You'll be shown to your room
after work.

We expect our girls to be in bed
by ten o'clock. Yes, Miss Audrey.

You can share with me. Room.
We live three to a bed.

I mean room! Do you snore?

I snore! Come on.

That's how we wear it.
OTHER GIRLS SNIGGER

We take turns with the customers.
I'll show you.

We put our name on the board. That
way it's fair. We all get our turn.

To earn commission. No-one could
survive on the wages.

I can't, anyway.

There. Now you're one of us!

Pauline, why are you never
where you're supposed to be?

It is a sin to abandon your
department. Quickly, girl,
haberdashery! Sorry, Miss Audrey.

Sorry!

Oh, Denise.

You must learn how to wear clothes.

If you must keep your hair long,
then tie it up properly.

It looks like a mongrel dog's tail
hanging there.

We require standards of dress
and decorum from our girls.

There will be no relations with
the male staff. No relations.

Any manner of relations on shop
premises will be dealt with swiftly
and severely.

Your predecessor was discovered
with a young man in a...

..alone in her room.

GIRL: Miss Audrey?
Ah!

They were slow cashing up
last night. Go over and see
what's going on.

The linen deliveries, the driver.
He's too friendly. We should keep
an eye on him.

He's a cousin of young Chapel's.
He's a friendly fellow, that's all.

It's the friendly fellows that steal
your elbows when you turn your back
on them.

Moray seems intent on more
expansion.

Has he said anything to you?

Huh. Did he set you to work on
any behind-the-scenes business?

Sir, if I may,

Mr Moray expects absolute
discretion.

Jonas, I need to know what Moray's
up to

and prevent him from excess.

I should look in on the cashier,
sir.

Make sure there is no hesitation.

Get your shoes on, Denise.
We're all going out.

I can't, Pauline. I've got no money.

Tell her, Pauline. We usually get
some young man to buy us a drink!

What happened to Mr Moray's wife?

Don't ever mention his wife in
The Paradise. Do you understand?

It's forbidden.

No-one ever talks about her.

What happened?
There was an accident.

She died.

People talk. Oh, it's all gossip
and rumour.

People say all sorts of
horrible things. About Mr Moray?
They're jealous, that's all.

They like to think bad of him
because he's made something
of himself.

What fun is there staying here
on your own, Denise?

We work so hard so we like to dance
and flirt and live! Come on!

Another night I will.

If you don't join in,
be one of the girls,

you won't last long here.

It's a good life if you go with it!

What are you doing, Mr Moray, sir?

I'm thinking, Arthur.

What are you thinking about,
Mr Moray, sir?

Proof.

I must prove that The Paradise
can conquer this whole city.

Is it hard thinking about proof,
sir? It looks mighty painful.

Do you want me to do some thinking
for you? I'm mighty good
at thinking, me.

I'll manage, thank you, Arthur.

Something will come to me.

Edmund!

I'm pleased to say your niece seems
to be doing well at The Paradise.

She should be working here,
with me, her family.

And she will be, soon enough.
The days of the small shop
are dying, Edmund.

She sees that.

That place of yours is no more than
a phantom, Moray, a daydream
folks will soon wake up from.

If you want to fight me, Edmund,

you will lose.

Because it is not a man
you're taking on.

It is progress.

What are they to you, Moray?

Cattle to herd through your door?

Sell cheap? Is that all that matters
to you?

Think that's what they really want?
Tempt them with cheaper and cheaper?

I'll tell you what will win
in the end.

One person serving another.

Thank you, Edmund!

Moray, this is ten times
our weekly orders.

I want to fill the store
to bursting.

Every department, every counter,
every inch.

Why would you want to do that?

We will announce that the price of
everything is to be greatly reduced.

Ah, I see. Splendid notion(!)

If I'm allowed to sound
just a slight note of caution,

why so much?

Why don't we order what we can
afford and put on a reduced price
sale in one department, perhaps two.

Ah, yes! Yes! Yes, of course.
I see it now!

"The Paradise announces
a small sale."

We could do that if we wanted
a small outcome, a small reward.

Really, Dudley.

Do you want to live
in a small world?

Forgive my naivety, Moray.

You are right because, well,
you are always right.

I'll get these orders sent off
directly.

Arthur? Mr Dudley, sir?

Before I send these off,

one tiny, possibly irritating,
difficulty occurs to me.

How do we pay our suppliers for
these mountains of goods? We don't.

We take delivery and we stall
until after the sale.

Why? Tell him why, Arthur.

Proof, sir.

To prove to Glendenning that
The Paradise can woo every woman
in this city through our door.

It's a gamble.
It's a necessary gamble.

Slow down. That is all I'm asking.

There's no need for such haste.

Men who slow down, Dudley,
men who take their time,

they come second.

I do not do that.

Miss.

Sir, thank you, Mr Jonas, sir.

You were asking questions
about Mr Moray's wife.

No, I...

Yes, I was. But I didn't mean to pry
or gossip.

Who told you I was asking?

You're new. You were bound to ask.

The poor woman fell.

The foundations for the first
extension were dug.

And she fell.
A terrible, sorry misfortune.

Now you know.

Yes, now I know.

So there's no need to ask
any more questions.

No, sir. I mean, yes, sir.

The day will come, Denise,

when Mr Moray will call you
to his office.

Be ready.

She's so beautiful!

That is Katherine Glendenning, one
of the richest women in the city.

Everyone says they are to marry,
her and Moray. Married.

You've fallen for him, haven't you?

No.

Course I haven't.
That would be silly.

It would be foolish.
What a ridiculous thing!

Every shop girl does!

Mr Jonas said I'd be called into
Mr Moray's office one day.

What did he mean? Well, you are
on probation here.

When you are called, Moray will tell
you if you are to stay.

Or not. Not stay.

Oh. Some girls, some of the girls,

the ones who feel they're losing
their jobs,

they're called to his office.

It's only tales, I expect!

'It's a triumph, Moray. Katherine
Glendenning in The Paradise.'

Everyone knows you'll marry her.

Huh. Is that the gossip?

Any man would marry
Katherine Glendenning.

Hasn't enough time passed now?

You deserve to marry again.

Ladies, good afternoon!

Let me help you to decide
which fabrics to choose.

Perhaps we're not as easily tempted
as you might imagine, Moray.

Mrs Ballentine, isn't the whole
point of temptation to succumb?

If my husband thought I had bought
one more gown

his face would be even more sour
than it already is!

Then we won't tell him. It will be
our secret, Mrs Harkness.

My husband probably wouldn't even
notice! If I was your husband,

I would never deny you
anything you wanted.

How can such beautiful women ever
have enough beautiful things?

Ever have enough of anything?

You, Mrs Ballentine, if I may,

you must wear silk.

Only silk.

Only ever silk.

Excuse me, Clara, but it's my turn.

It will be your turn,
when you can sell.

But if I don't earn my commission -
I need the money!

Why do you need the money?
You have rooms, you have food.

You going to cry, country girl?

Why are you doing this? It's only my
name you cross off. Do you think
I don't see that? Why?

Girls, what is going on here?

My name was top of the board, ma'am,
but Clara wiped it away.

I am the one who decides
whose turn it is.

Our regular customers are too
valuable to give to you until
you know what you are doing.

But ma'am, if I'm to learn...
You are on probation.

Do not defy me. Defying is the
worst of sins in a department store.

There is plenty of folding
and stacking to do. Quickly.

Quickly!

Yes, ma'am.

I was curious. Your store is rather
beautiful, in a brash kind of way.

You don't mind me teasing you,
do you, darling?

I thought I might buy some trinket,

just to show you I'm not entirely
immune to your seduction.

Might I suggest you visit
the ladieswear department? Oh.

I'm not sure I could face the world
in any dress that was not made by
my own seamstress.

Katherine.

Do you suppose a man cares

if a woman's dress is hand-sewn?

Mm?

A stitch does not make the blood
rise.

I'm sorry that my father was such an
old stick about your plans, Moray.

We must work on him together,
you and I.

He will see how fond I am of you

and his resistance will melt.

I am already making my own plans
to overcome his resistance.

Tell me.

When I'm ready.

In five days' time,

The Paradise, the whole store,
every department,

will come together
in one grand sale.

Prices will be so reduced
for one day,

that customers flock to our store.

I want this to be our best day ever.

I want us to create such a frenzy
of shopping

that we make in one day
more than we do in a week.

I don't suppose any one of you will
object if your pockets are bursting
with bonuses!

There is a lot of work for us to do,
but I do not see before me one face
shy of that.

Well said, Mr Moray, sir.

I know what I shall do with my
bonus.

I'd like to come into the store
and buy the fanciest coat

or perhaps some boots.

Pauline dreams of being a customer
here, one day.

She thinks if she's on the other
side of the counter, a well-to-do
man will fall for her!

No, I don't! But you do see some
fine gentlemen, and they can't all
be married!

What will you do with your bonus,
Clara?

I won't worry about that
until it's in my hand.

There he is, with his writing.

What's he doing? Every day
he writes in that book.

What he sees and what he knows,
no doubt.

I'd love to get my hands
on that book!

What about you, Denise? What will
you buy with your bonus?

I don't know that I'll buy anything.
Perhaps something for your uncle?

A saint as well as a martyr!

Oh, she's watching us.
I fancy she would like to come
and join us, you know.

Only so she can filch the best bits
off your plate!

We might all end up like her.

Single, lonely, her position here
the only thing to speak of
in her life.

Makes me nervous when you pamper me.

Papa...

..will you do something for me?

My darling, I wish your traps
weren't so delightful.

Will you give me the ring?

Mother's ring.

Has Moray spoken to you?

You are not allowed to ask me that.

When will I ever learn
to say no to you?

Papa...

when you are so old that your eyes
water...

..I will hold your hand
and kiss you every day.

Can I have it?

If I could only make you see

that this rush to love...

..this is not going to make you
happy.

But you will let me have the ring?

Why, Miss Glendenning, ma'am.
How pleasing to see you here.

Not that you shouldn't be here.
I only meant that I hope
we can please you.

Find something that might be
pleasing. Clara?

Come and attend to Miss Glendenning.

I am told that I might find
the latest fashions here.

Indeed, ma'am. Perhaps I could show
you the tea gown...

I hope you're not suggesting that
I could be seen on the street
wearing a ready-made dress?

Perhaps, Miss Glendenning, if you
were to see the dress modelled?

Denise, you must put on the dress.

Quickly, girl, quickly!

We dally at our peril.

Hurry up, girl!

Are you dawdling in there?

Miss Audrey, this dress doesn't fit!

Let me see. Let me see.

You haven't even fastened it!

Do you not know how to wear a dress?

Oh, excuse me.

I think it must be the wrong size.
It won't go on properly.

I cannot imagine why you would think
I could wear such a thing!

It is the model, madam.

She does not know how to exhibit the
dress properly. I have seen enough.

Thank you.

Ma'am, if I may, what does it matter
how I look in the dress?

It only matters how you will look
in it.

Mr Moray himself went to Paris
to seek out the latest fashion.

I don't mind looking a fool
in a dress two sizes too small,

but I wouldn't be doing my job
if I allowed you to leave
without explaining to you

why you should buy it.

You are rather forthright, girl.

That is only because
I believe you will look wonderful
in this dress, ma'am.

And if I am wrong...

..Miss Audrey will relieve me
of my position.

The dress is called the tea gown,
ma'am,

because it's worn without a corset,

for comfort, for day-time
entertaining.

The soft lines give the dress
an especially feminine quality.

In France, it is known as
the "cinq-a-sept",

the hours when a lady might receive
suitors.

It is beautiful, ma'am, with its
lace edging and dome silk-covered
buttons.

Silk bows on the front
and on the cuffs.

I'm sure we could have it delivered
to your home for you to try on

so you could see how it might look
on you.

In a month, this dress will be
the talk of the town,

just as it's the talk of Paris now.

I've already spoken to my partners,

and they're all of one voice.

Retail makes them nervous.

They prefer coal or shipping.

But it is for you to decide, sir.

Come to the sale, and you will see
what is possible.

Katherine's had suitors.
Some of them I liked.

She showed no interest
in any of them.

I know my position, sir.

I'm a salesman who has done
rather well.

I realise... Don't toy with me,
Moray.

You know that my daughter
is infatuated with you.

Do you share Katherine's feelings?

I regard Katherine most tenderly,
sir.

I must warn you.

If you break her heart,

whether or not I grant you a loan
will be of no consequence,

because I shall make it my business
to ruin you.

Moray, for one last time, let me try
to get you to stop this.

I'd rather you put the champagne
on ice!

You joke about everything. You joke
about this? You're a disgrace!

Look. Look around you.

These people, every one of them
depend upon us for their work.

How dare you?

I created every job here.

And I'll create more.

All that matters is I fill this
store for one day with customers.

Yes, we can grow.

But why must it be done
at such great risk?

If you will not listen to reason...

Then what?

Then I will stop trying to reason
with you.

..this new girl falling at her feet.

I saw it the day she arrived.

She's no innocent country girl.

Come on, I need a drink!

What do you expect if you're stupid
enough to get caught, Lucille?

Have to get yourself a job.

What are you suggesting, Jonas?

He met with some of your suppliers
at the Three Crowns, sir.

I've known Dudley
since we were boys,

starting out together.

There's no cunning in him.

I could not get close enough
to hear their conversation

without being noticed.

But I know the landlord
of the Three Crowns

and I passed him a small sum
to help me with that.

I was best man at his wedding.

I sit at his dining table with him
and his children.

I find it almost impossible
to doubt Dudley.

The point is, sir,
he seems to doubt you.

There were four suppliers there.

He appeared to be warning them they
may not get paid for the orders
you placed with them.

Jonas?

Champagne?

Wasn't it you who told me that
every occasion was made better
by champagne?

My mother's engagement ring.

My father gave it to me
after he spoke with you.

It's beautiful.

Why would your father
do such a thing?

I can't bear it when you tease me!

My father can see what we are
skirting around.

It is time.

I know why this is difficult
for a widower.

It is time for you to be truly loved
again.

We will announce our engagement
tomorrow and you will see how happy
I can make you.

Why must you try to trap me?

When have I EVER suggested to you...

I only want to love you.

But you will not let me.

You push me away.

Why?

You make me love you
but you taunt me with it. Why?

It hurts me...

more than...

I can bear!

Oh, God!

I cannot breathe!

Please...help me!

Please!

Loosen my dress, please!

No.

Yes!

It's all right.

Denise, wake up! Come and have
a drink with us.

What time is it?

Oh, look at her!

Snug as a chaste little virgin girl!

What if anyone was to find you,
Pauline?

Don't worry about Miss Audrey.
You can hear her snoring
half-way across the city!

But that girl, Lucille.

She was fool enough to get caught,
that's all.

And she went right up to her,
to Katherine Glendenning,

and she said, "In a month, this
dress will be the talk of the town.

"And you, you hollow-headed spoilt
rich girl, you can't see that!"
I didn't say that, Pauline!

It's Miss Audrey! She's coming!

Someone has to go and talk to her!
Denise, get up. You're the only one
sober! Come on!

Girl!

Denise!

What are you doing out here
at this time of night?

Denise! Girl!

What is the matter with you?

Oh, Miss Audrey.
Denise walks-sleeps.

Sleepwalks! She told me
to watch out for her.

Sleepwalking? It's only her nerves,
ma'am. It'll pass.

I'm sorry if the noise woke you,
Miss Audrey.

You can go back to bed. Leave Denise
to me. I'll settle her down again.

Sleepwalking?

I knew I should never have taken on
a girl from Peebles!

Excuse me, Mr Dudley, sir.
Can I have a word with you?

Is everything all right with you,
Denise? Mr Dudley, sir.

Please don't do anything that you
might regret.

Denise.

You are to go to Mr Moray's office.

At once.

Come in.

I thought we might review your
probation, Denise.

You know that there are a hundred
girls out there that can take
your place.

Come closer.

Do you like it here? I do, sir.

Then you'd like to remain
at your post?

It is a simple enough question,
Denise.

I would, sir.

Your hair.

It should have the slightest
imperfection in it.

Something...

..suggestive.

I heard you sold a dress
to a rather difficult customer.

You made a good impression.

It seems you are quite
the salesgirl.

Thank you, sir.

So we can say your probation
is over,

and you're one of us now!

Thank you, Mr Moray, sir.

Is your display attracting
customers?

Do you suppose I didn't see you
hiding there?

I see everything.

It makes me smile to think of it.

What kind of a girl has such spirit?

You're not like the other girls.
I think you know that.

I wonder if you realise the talents
you have.

Yes?

If you have talent and wits, Denise,

you will do well here.

To truly belong, you need loyalty.

Absolute loyalty.

To The Paradise and to me.

Thank you.

Tell me, what have you been up to
behind my back, Dudley?

All I have done is try to save you
from yourself.

You've scared me, Moray.

You seem drunk with greed.

Tell me what you've done.

I have arranged with our suppliers
to return the goods if we cannot pay
for them.

These arrived this morning.

They won't let me have anything more
unless I pay on delivery.

Word will soon spread.
Others will follow.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

I only meant to prevent disaster.

At least if we can return the goods,
we won't be left with such terrible
debts.

If we are to triumph,
a man must hold his nerve.

You buckled!

And now your weakness has
jeopardised everything!

Why can you not see how wild
the risk is?

I see it.

And I choose to go on.

That is for me alone to decide.

I need a loan.

A substantial loan to expand.

Why is what we have not enough?

This city is littered with men
who stood still.

If this sale is called off,

all will be lost.

I cannot turn back now.

Lord Glendenning will come here
on Saturday.

I need him to see The Paradise
bursting with customers.

I'm sorry, Moray.

What can we do?

Go back to your friends.

Tell them to bring their goods.

If I do not pay them...

they can have this store.

Moray...

You can't do such a thing. I can.

Because I must.

Mr Moray has informed me
that I am to be kept on, ma'am.

I have passed my probation.

Is that so?

Well, never forget, girl,
that this is my department

and I shall be watching you
at all times.

So be sure that you meet my
standards. Straighten your hair,
girl. Careless hair is a sin.

Girls, girls, we have work to do.
We have a sale to prepare.

Step to it. Step to it!

It took me all my nerve
to come here.

I've been twice in the past week,
but I was too scared to knock.

Clara, find yourself some kindly
young man.

I'm not stupid. I won't ask you
for nothing.

Get some sleep, Clara.

Isn't there some part of you, sir,
can let me in?

One night, that's all.

Like it was.

No, Clara, there isn't.

Not any more.

Do you think you're precious?
You are nothing!

He lay in my arms, do you hear me?

He told me things.

He lay in my arms sobbing
and told me terrible things.

Wouldn't it be something if I were
to tell the whole city
how his wife died?

Wait until the store is filled with
his beloved customers

then cry it out so they all hear it.

Clara, you wouldn't do such a thing.
Wouldn't I?

Can you guarantee
they'll go on spending your money

'on your perfumes and fripperies?'

'I want this to be our best day
ever.'

'I know you've been turned away
by every bank in town, Moray.'

'This city is littered with men
who stood still.'

'Yes, we can grow. But why must it
be done at such great risk?'

'The point is, sir,
he seems to doubt you.'

Clara, when I went to Moray's
office,

you were wrong to think that
he likes me.

He was kind to me. That is all.

That is all. I've seen the way
he looks at you.

You'll be out on the street,
just like Lucille.

Worse, you need this work, Clara.

Girls! Girls, on a day like today,

it is a sin even to pause
for breath.

Denise, go and tell Mr Dudley
our hat stands are hatless.

Seems you were right, Moray.

Who would have imagined that
shopping for goods would have
such an effect upon women!

This is only the beginning, sir.

I want to bring a thousand
undreamed of temptations

into The Paradise.

I promise you, sir, there will be
no end to their appetite. However,

it will take more than one
spectacular event

to convince my partners at the bank.

If I may, sir,

you were never going to convince
them. The point is to convince you.

You see what is possible here.

I'm asking you to lend me the money.

That's a bold appeal! I ask it

only because I know your reputation
is built on recognising

what other people do not see

and investing in it.

Will you be part of this?

Will you show your faith?

There is another matter, sir.

I wish to deal with this
in your presence.

Katherine.

I cannot be engaged to be married
to you. Not yet.

It would be fatal for business

at this sensitive time.

This enterprise relies on
the charming of women.

Oh, dear, Moray. You do love to
exaggerate this romantic notion
of yours

that women come here to be flattered
by you. Katherine,

I must side with Moray on this.

You know my feelings.

Haste is the enemy of love.

Take your time.

If I may, sir.

I regret what happened, Katherine.

I cannot say how... Regret?

No, I do not want your regret.

I... I cannot marry, Katherine.

I cannot say when I will be ready.

If that makes you want to walk away
from me, then you must.

I'm not asking you to understand.

I'm asking you to believe me.

Why does your wife have such a hold
on you?

Why won't you admit
that she is dead?

Uncle, what are you doing here?
Where did this come from?

I made some commission.
I sold a dress.

Do you think I want to be kept
by him? It's my money, Uncle.

I worked for it. I should throw it
in his face!

Let them all see how he trampled
on the likes of me to build this
fancy palace of nothings!

Then you'll be hurting me, Uncle.

I work here now. This is my place.

I swore I'd never step inside of
this place.

Mr Moray would like the money
brought into the store.

All of it?

Why on earth does he want
to do that?

Moray.

You wish me to resign?

I never want that to happen, Dudley.

We've come so far together
to get here.

I want you beside me,

to support me.

I want you to believe in
The Paradise, to believe in me.

Can you do that?

I always have.

I want to thank all of you.

What you achieved

means The Paradise can grow,

that all of us will have work
to come to, wages to live on.

But more than that,

what you conjured here, today,
out of nothing,

was thrilling.

I promised you bonuses,
and here they are.

Come and get them.
You've earned every penny.

You are in love with him.

Pauline, I don't want to marry
Moray.

I want to be him.

Oh, Katherine, this is a kind of
heaven!

Girls say that Sam is a naughty boy,

a rogue, a charmer, a flirt,
a ladies' man.

If you did have a history of preying
on women, it will come to light.

It is best not to let them know
what we're thinking.

Especially what we think of them.
