[Duchy] So we'll be nine

in the dining room tonight.

[Hugh] All ready?

Except for Polly.

What are you doing with Pompy?

He tried to get into my bag.

He wants to come.

You won't be late, will you?

Absolutely not, be there for dinner.

See you in Sussex.

You all right, Clary?

I want to sit in the front, Dad.

Darling, you can't,

there wouldn't be room for Zoe in the back.

But I get sick in the back.

I'm sure you won't, Clary.

Try and think of something else.

[everyone greets the new arrivals]

Hello, Zoe.

Hello, Villy.

Where's Edward?

He's coming down later on the train,

he had an important business meeting, poor dear.

[Diana giggles]

Marvellous.

How would you like to join the firm?

Join the firm?

Your brothers and I have discussed it,

we'd like to do join us.

We would.

Yes, we would.

Want some time to think about it?

[Edward] Here's to my very beautiful daughter.

Happy birthday, darling.

[door slams]

[light jazz music]

[waves gently breaking]

God.

[sighs]

[Hugh] When the war comes,

I'll bomb the Germans like that.

[Rupert] Oh, yes, well unfortunately for you,

there isn't going to be another war.

Oh, I know you're worried, old chap,

but what Englishman in his right mind

is going to go to war for Czechoslovakia?

I'm not even sure I know where it is.

Got a jellyfish.

[Rupert] Well done, Nev.

It's going to be my pet.

Oh, Dad, don't let him bring it in the car,

it'll only stink and then die.

[Polly] Anyway, you can't have a jellyfish as a pet.

[Neville] I could.

I shall be the first person in the world to do that.

I shall call him Becksall and live with him.

Oh, God.

What did you really win your military cross for, Dad?

For peeing on a machine gun.

Doesn't believe me you know.

I had to cool it down.

It got hot and jammed.

[Hugh] Your dad was under very heavy fire at the time.

A bit of flack, yes.

If Hitler does take Czechoslovakia,

I think we're committed to defend it.

[Rupert] Well, don't worry, old chap,

won't call on you,

you did more than your fair share in the last show.

[Hugh] You don't seriously think

I'm worried about my own skin?

[Rupert] I only meant that if there is to be another war,

it'll be the young blokes turn.

You won't catch me volunteering.

Liar.

You all right, Villy?

Yes, I've just got a bit of a headache.

Too much sun.

You take care.

Yes, I'm fine, I'm fine.

[Rupert] Hello, Louise, where you off to?

[Louise] Mummy says I have to tidy my room before dinner.

Oh dear, poor you, what a chore.

Shall we make up a pair tomorrow for tennis

to play Polly and Hugh?

No, thank you.

When I got to Suez, who should I meet?

I met the chap who knew the fellow I met in New South Wales.

Never told you that before, have I?

Yes, you have.

[William] Amazing coincidence.

[phone rings]

[Sybil] How's Neville's jellyfish getting on, Rupert?

[Rupert] Oh, R.I.P I'm afraid, Syb.

[Sybil] Oh, no.

He put it in the bath with household salt.

[everyone laughs]

We gave it a proper funeral.

He buried it in the orchard.

In the orchard?

He loves fruit jelly.

[loud guffaws]

Excuse me, madam.

There's a telephone call for Mrs. Rupert.

Yes, of course.

Thank you for letting me know.

Goodbye, doctor.

[sighs]

Zoe, how awful.

Your poor mother, Zoe.

[Duchy] A heart attack is so frightening.

The doctor seemed sure she'll get over it,

but she obviously can't cope on her own.

I shall have to go and stay.

Yes, of course.

[car engine rumbles]

[birds singing]

I want to look after her, of course,

but I do hate that awful little flat.

I wish she could move somewhere else.

Your mother always seems very comfortable there you know.

Well, she puts a face on because she has to.

And anyways, I'm sure you would say

she mustn't grumble she's better off than most.

Why would I say that?

Well, you're a socialist.

My socialism has got nothing to do with

your mother's flat.

I just happen to think the majority of people in Britain

would be better off with a Labour government.

And all of your family would be lined up and shot.

No need to go as far as that.

Things would just be a bit more equal, that's all.

Have they stopped asking you to join the firm?

It's been a very long time since he mentioned it.

The offer's still open.

I think you should accept it.

Now look, I know you're upset today,

and you're worried about your mother,

so let's not talk about this anymore because-

I'm not talking about my mother,

I'm talking about you and your future.

And your children's prospects.

Can we leave my future to me?!

Look, I'm sorry,

but I haven't decided anything yet.

I will decide very soon, I promise.

Promise, darling.

[birds singing]

[Polly] In!

[Edward] I'll give you that.

Fifteen all.

[girls laugh]

[Mrs. Cripps] What on earth's he doing, Mr. Tonbridge?

[Tonbridge] He's water divining,

wants to dig another well.

He thinks if there's a war we may need more water.

He's got all sorts of plans

for people to move here from London.

[Mrs. Cripps] Surely there won't be a war?

Not after the last one.

Nobody would be daft enough.

[Tonbridge] He seems to think so,

that's why he's so keen for Mrs. Tonbridge

and my boy to come down.

She took some persuading, I'll tell you that.

Well, he's made it such a nice flat,

she's bound to like it once she gets here.

Yeah, I hope so.

[car engine rumbles]

[Rupert] Where are you off to?

Thought I'd come and meet you.

What a lovely idea.

Okay, hop in.

Let's go for a drive somewhere, yeah?

Okay.

All right.

[gentle music]

So do you think I should join the firm?

It does concern you after all.

I love it when you treat me like a grownup.

[Rupert laughs]

[Rupert] Don't I always?

No, quite a lot of the time you treat me like a child.

I loathe that.

I'm sorry.

So what's your grownup opinion?

I think you should stay a painter.

Most other grownups don't quite agree with you.

Well, I think I'm right.

Clary.

I think you're beautiful.

Me, beautiful?

Never heard anything so loony in all my life.

[Rupert] And to celebrate the fact that you are beautiful,

I'm going to paint you.

Dad, you've painted me dozens of times.

[Dr. Sherlock] Well, Mrs. Headford,

you're doing very well indeed.

And you're been very well looked after.

Goodbye now.

Well, Mrs. Cazalet, your mother's making a good recovery.

She should have a light diet.

Chicken, fish, that sort of thing.

[Zoe] Well, I'm not much of a cook.

You don't think she should be in hospital?

[Dr. Sherlock] No, no, I'm sure she'd far rather

be looked after by you.

Do you have a bedpan?

I don't think so.

[Dr. Sherlock] Well, get one from the chemist.

I don't want your mother traipsing back and forth

to the lavatory.

I shall see you tomorrow, Mrs. Cazalet.

[jazz music]

[[light-hearted music]]

Need a break?

No.

I thought you knew about me and fish, Zoe.

Never mind.

I'll make do with bread and milk.

[door bangs open & Zoe slams tray down]

[Dr. Ballater] Well, I cannot be sure of course,

but I think it's very likely you're right.

[Villy weeps]

I'm sorry.

[Dr. Ballater] Now let's suppose you are pregnant,

you're a healthy woman.

You've always been fit.

You were a ballet dancer, for heaven's sake.

How old are you?

40?

[Villy] 42.

But it's not that, Bob,

it's just, I, I...

I really and truly don't feel up to another baby.

I don't want one!

[Villy sobs]

Isn't there anything that...

Isn't there anything that I could...

do?

No.

I do a great deal for you,

but I would never, ever contemplate

helping you get rid of a baby.

And I'm also telling you

not to try and find some other means.

I want you to promise me to do nothing at all.

I'll see you through this.

Now, will you promise me?

Yes.

Good.

How's Edward?

Oh, he's fine.

Although I haven't really seen him because I've been

in Sussex with the children,

and he couldn't get down at the weekend.

[Dr. Ballater] I must get in touch with him,

fix up a round of golf.

[melancholy music]

She's very much improved.

She can start to get up now,

use the bathroom and the lavatory.

Oh, thank goodness.

And what do you do with yourself in the evening

after your mother's settled?

Oh, nothing.

My friends all seem to be away.

I don't like going to the cinema by myself.

Still, I shouldn't complain.

Oh, why not?

I do.

My wife took the children to Hunstanton

for what was supposed to be a fortnight,

and now it's three weeks.

No sign of them returning.

Poor you!

No, thanks.

It was lovely but I've got some other calls to make.

I wonder if you'd care to dine with me this evening,

if you have nothing better to do?

Yes.

Thank you.

[melancholy music]

[Villy] What a dreadful mess.

Esther, what on earth's going on?

Esther!

[water running]

[door slams]

Edward!

Villy!

Good, lord, I didn't know you were in town?

Well, I, I, I...

I came up for the day and I thought I might as well stay.

Splendid.

Oh, this is Diana Mackintosh.

I don't think you've met.

Hello.

Diana's husband runs that marvellous shoot in Norfolk

I told you about.

We were having lunch and he had to go off to Scotland,

poor dear, so we dropped him off,

and I brought Diana home for a quick drink.

Oh, I see.

After you.

Sherry, darling?

-Yes, thank you. -Sherry, Diana?

Oh yes, please.

Please.

[Villy] So do you live in Norfolk, Mrs. Mackintosh?

Oh, no, please call me Diana.

No, no, no, we live in London.

Angus just manages the shoot there for his brother.

He's gone to Scotland to collect our two eldest sons

who've been spending the summer with their grandmother.

How many children do you have?

Three.

Ian is 10, Fergus is just eight, and Jamie is three months.

[Edward] Yes, Angus gave me such a wonderful lunch

that I thought the least I could do was run him to Euston.

It was King's Cross, don't you remember?

[Villy laughs]

Edward doesn't know one station from another.

He never gets on trains or buses.

I drove one in the general strike.

Darling, has Esther abandoned you?

The house is in an awful mess.

Her mother was ill so I let her go home.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you.

Well, when will she be back?

Hmm, I don't know.

Told her not to rush.

Didn't seem fair.

Oh, cigarette?

[Edward] Oh, I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Didn't know you smoked.

Well.

Well.

I wonder how old Chamberlain's getting on?

I must say things have come to a pretty pass

when a British prime minister has to fly all that way

to persuade some foreign fellow to be reasonable.

I quite agree, we shouldn't be asking,

we should be telling Mr. Hitler where he gets off.

Well, people are taking things very seriously here.

They're digging air raid shelters in Hyde Park.

Oh, Sid's coming down to Home Place.

And I think if the children are going to stay there

until the scare wears off,

I really do think we ought to bring

Miss Millament down to teach them.

Well, if you think so, old girl.

But I was talking to a bloke in the club

who said the Czechs in the end really don't have any choice,

they'll have to give in.

Well, I really must be off.

Thank you so much for the drink.

[Edward] Ah.

Shall I run you home?

No, no, no, I wouldn't dream of it.

I'll pick up a cab.

It's so nice to meet you.

Yes.

She seems very charming.

What's he like?

Angus?

A good sort.

A bit of an idler.

Darling, what brought you to town?

You didn't tell me.

Oh, well, I, I wanted to do some shopping,

and just popped in to Bob Ballater.

Ah, nothing wrong, I hope?

No, no, it's just a woman's thing.

Ah.

[light-hearted music]

My wife always disliked London.

She bought this cottage in Hunstanton

with some inherited money.

I'm not to keen on the country, much prefer the town.

Yes, so do I.

To town.

Extraordinary we should be so alike.

You're going out with him, aren't you?

What on earth are you talking about?

With him.

Dr. Sherlock.

Does Rupert know?

I've had dinner with him once or twice.

Why shouldn't I?

It can't be right, Zoe.

You've got such a nice marriage and everything.

But if Rupert knows and doesn't mind,

then I suppose it's all right.

Here's your tea, Mother.

I spoke to Zoe this morning.

Her mother's still not well enough to be left.

There.

Hate the idea of her being stuck in London just now.

[elegant music]

[Mrs. Tonbridge] So this is it.

[Tonbridge] Nice, isn't it?

[Mrs. Tonbridge] It's certainly miles from anywhere.

[Tonbridge] All right, boy?

[Mrs. Tonbridge] Who's that nosy parker?

That's Mrs. Cripps, the cook.

Taking a breather, I expect,

it's hot in that kitchen.

[buzzing]

[Mrs. Tonbridge] Oh, lord.

I do hate midges.

Let's go inside for goodness sake.

Up there.

Very nice flat, the old man converted it for us especially.

Dad?

[Tonbridge] Yeah?

Where the cows?

Well, there's no cows here,

but there's a farm nearby.

I'll take you to see them, eh?

Oh no, you won't, Frank.

He's not going near any animals.

Why?

Well, he better be right about the war,

not a place I'd willing trudge to for nothing.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

You wanted to see me, Brig?

Right.

The Germans have issued an ultimatum to the Czechs,

and it could boil over very soon.

I think you should insist Zoe leaves London.

Your mother says if necessary

we can find a room for Zoe's mother here.

Yes.

Right.

Well, I'll telephone her immediately.

Thank you.

Darling, it's all right.

Now there's no need to worry,

I'm coming home tomorrow anyway.

Oh, Zoe, thank God for that.

How's your mother?

My mum will be fine.

She's decided to stay with her friend on the Isle of White

and convalesce there.

Right, well, that sounds like a good idea to me.

You poor girl, I know you had such a miserable time there.

I shall do everything I can to make it up to you

because I love you.

Bye-bye.

[Zoe] Goodbye.

[jaunty jazz music]

* - It was just one of those things, *

* Just one of those crazy flings, *

* One of those bells that now and then rings, *

* Just one of those things,

* It was just one of those nights, *

* Just one of those fabulous flights, *

* A trip to the moon on gossamer wings, *

You're a marvellous dancer.

* - Just one of those things,

And you're so lovely.

I adore you, honestly.

I find you entirely irresistible.

* - We'd have been aware that our love affair, *

* Was too hot, not to cool down, *

* So goodbye, dear, and Amen,

* Here's hoping we meet now and then, *

* It was great fun,

* But it was just one of those things. *

Thank you, that was a lovely evening.

I do adore dancing.

I'll come and see you safely in the flat.

Oh, please don't bother,

I don't want to wake mother.

I promise you, we won't wake your mother.

I think you better go, Philip.

You wouldn't like us to do something

we should both regret?

Of course not.

Anyway, I told you we mustn't wake Mummy.

Your mother's gone to convalesce on the Isle of White.

She rang this morning asking for prescription

to be sent to her.

You could have rejoined your husband today, couldn't you?

But you couldn't resist one more evening of games.

You're very beautiful, my dear,

but you're also very egocentric.

You've always known your own strengths,

I tell you, not your weaknesses.

Philip, put me down!

Put me down!

What are you doing?!

No!

Put me down!

Get off me!

No!

Get off me!

Philip!

[Zoe pants]

[morose music]

[clock ticks]

Oh, God.

It is wonderful, Dad.

Well, I don't know.

I'll do better next time.

It's been fun though, hasn't it?

Right.

I must rush.

Got to pick up Zoe.

[car engine rumbles]

[light jazz music]

[horns toot]

[Tonbridge] I'll get that, ma'am.

[Miss Millament] Oh, thank you...

[Tonbridge] Tonbridge.

Oh, yes.

[Sybil] Welcome to Home Place, Miss Millament.

Thank you, Sybil.

[Sybil] May Can I help?

Thank you so much.

It's so good of you to come down.

Oh, not at all.

The children are safer here,

they must still be taught.

Of course.

Shall we?

Oh, thank you so much.

Oh, what a beautiful place.

[train chuffs along]

[birds sing]

[train whistles]

[train squeals]

Hey, darling.

It's so good to have you back.

Okay.

How many more coming, Mrs. Cripps?

As many as the master decides to invite.

He knows what he's doing.

All right then, Harry?

[Harry] Yeah.

He's doing very well.

Help yourself to another piece of cake.

[lorry rumbles]

Excuse me, ma'am, there's a lorry.

He says Mr. Cazalet Senior sent it.

24 camp beds?

[Rachel] Brig's obviously preparing for evacuation.

I mean if he thinks it's that serious

and they do bomb London-

[Sid] Darling, there'll be air raid shelters.

[Rachel] That won't help against gas.

[Sid] They're going to issue everyone with gas masks.

[Rachel] I couldn't bear for you

to go through all that without me.

Sid, if we're all going to be killed,

I want to be with you.

Please stay here.

But I'm a music teacher,

my pupils are in London.

I have to learn a living.

But at least I can unlike most of the Jews in Germany.

Of course, if there is an invasion...

[Rachel] God, he wouldn't harm you.

[Sid] Because I'm only half Jewish?

[Sid laughs]

I doubt if Hitler goes in for niceties.

[Rachel weeps]

It may be the end of everything.

All right.

[gentle music]

Courage, my darling,

we do have each other.

Look, I'll stay here until we know what's happening,

if the Duchy wouldn't mind.

[Rachel] Oh, she won't in the least.

[Rachel sobs with joy]

[Sid] Oh, come on, old girl.

[Clary] And Aunt Rachel was so frightened,

Sid was kissing her for comfort.

Aren't you frightened?

There isn't going to be a war, Polly.

And if there is, think of history,

we always win.

Doesn't matter who wins.

Don't you see?

Millions of people will be killed.

[footsteps approaching]

[door opens]

[Rupert] Feeling better after your bath, darling?

Is this one all right?

Yes, it's lovely.

You look beautiful in all your clothes.

[Zoe weeps]

What is it?

Oh, shush, what's the matter?

Is it this war talk?

[Zoe sniffs]

Well, that... yes.

And?

I wasn't kind enough to my mother.

[radio plays music & Brig hums]

There we are,

we can all hear Mr. Chamberlain's broadcast.

Now, William, about these camp beds.

Oh, good idea, eh?

I got them from the Army & Navy.

We can house the evacuees in the barn.

-Yes, but- -Don't worry about

the facilities we're building three Elsans.

Oh.

See what I mean?

He takes no notice of me.

[Duchy sighs]

Polly!

One cat.

Oh, Daddy, thank you!

No, you were right.

We couldn't leave Oscar in London to be bombed,

not after what happened to Pompy.

Thank you.

Now, put him in your room and keep the door shut.

He could get lost.

Evening, Edie.

Evening, sir.

We're having an early dinner tonight

so we can listen to Mr. Chamberlain.

I've heard he's for appeasement.

Will he stop the war?

There's a limit to how far you should appease anyone.

Personally, I think we've reached that limit.

Personally, I don't.

It's got to be stopped.

[Hugh] Evening, Brig.

[car engine rumbles]

[Diana] Totally relaxed.

He sleeps just like you do.

He's a splendid little bloke.

What's up, old girl?

I hate not being able to get in touch with you.

Why don't we stop for a drink before we get to Wadhurst?

What about Jamie?

We can get a private room.

I thought you were meant to be at Home Place?

Well, I'll be late.

I can take the flack.

Oh, horrible,

fantastic,

incredible it is

that we should be digging trenches

and trying on gas masks here

because of a quarrel in a far away country

between people of whom we know nothing.

I can well understand the reasons

why the Czech government have felt unable to accept

the terms which have been put before them

in the German memorandum.

I would not hesitate to pay even a third visit to Germany,

if I thought it would do any good.

I am myself a man of peace to the depths of my soul,

but if I were convinced that any nation

had made up its mind to dominate the world

by fear of its force,

I should feel that it must be resisted.

As long as war has not begun,

there is always hope that it may be prevented,

and you know that I'm going to work for peace

until the last moment.

[lilting music]

My dear.

I need to talk to you after this.

It's very important.

[lilting music]

So, what is it then, old girl?

Um, well...

Do you remember the other day when I came up to London

to see Dr. Ballater and, and you arrived at the house

with Mrs... um, oh...

Mackintosh.

Yes, yes.

-As I explained to you- -No, Edward, please.

The fact is that I'm...

Well, I'm, I'm practically certain

that I'm having another baby.

[Edward gasps & laughs]

Oh, good lord.

You're pleased?

Darling, it's wonderful news.

[Edward laughs]

Do you think there'll be gas masks for babies?

Because I don't want one if he can't...

Of course there will be.

Of course.

Luckiest day of my life the day I met you.

[cutlery clinking & birds singing]

I'm going mad here, Frank.

I can't stand the flat,

the people,

I hate everything about it!

[Tonbridge] You can't take him back to London, Joan,

not while there's a risk of a war-

[Mrs. Tonbridge] Do you think I don't know that?

Do you think I don't love him too much to do that?

I'm just trying to tell you that I hate the whole bloody-

[Tonbridge] Come on, Joan.

Bugger off to work.

[Mrs. Cripps sighs]

[sad music]

Don't worry, old chap.

He'll tell Hitler what's what.

[Hugh] If he fails, and I think he will,

they could be bombing our warehouses next week.

Of course they don't have to bomb us.

Why not?

Well, the German planes can let down huge fly papers

and the people below would stick to them.

Neville!

You're supposed to be thinking of something

you don't want to do,

but you promise to do if there's peace.

Come on!

Nev, that's rude.

Apologise.

[Neville] Sorry.

If it's peace I promise to be nicer to Zoe.

Oh!

I'll kiss Miss Millament.

[girls giggle]

[Polly] Oscar?

Oscar?!

Some stupid person has left our door open

and Oscar has escaped.

He doesn't know the place,

he must be lost.

[Zoe] Oh dear, I'm afraid that was me.

You?

You idiot.

You've gone and lost Polly's cat.

You're the most stupid person I've ever met in my life.

How dare you speak to Zoe like that?

Apologise at once.

Why did she go into my room anyway?

She went to get one of your dresses

because she's bought some material to make you a new one.

But you were just doing that to please Dad, weren't you?

Yes.

You see, I know how much he loves you.

[door bangs]

[Polly] I found him!

-He was- -Mr. Chamberlain's back!

It's peace for our time!

[jaunty music]

[chattering & laughing]

Peace!

[everyone cheers peace]

Peace.

Peace?

Look, I will take the Brig's offer.

I will join the firm.

[Zoe] Rupert!

[both laugh]

My God, old boy, peace.

I didn't think he'd pull it off you know.

Peace with honour, he says.

With honour?

Hm, he's handed the Czechs to Hitler.

God, there's no pleasing you.

[Hugh laughs]

Peace, Mr. Tonbridge.

Peace.

Peace, son.

[Mrs. Tonbridge] Thank gawd for that.

Now we can all go home.

[children singing about peace]

Goodbye, son.

Bye, Dad.

[train whistles & steam huffs]

See you soon, eh?

Look after yourself.

Should I take your cases for you, Zoe?

[Zoe] Oh, thank you.

[train chugs]

[sombre music]

Oh, no, please no.

[Zoe retches]

[car engines rumble]

Hello?

I'm home.

Hello, darling.

[Zoe] Hello, Rup.

[Rupert kisses Zoe]

[Rupert] Love you.

[Zoe] And you.

[Rupert] How are you feeling?

Oh, not bad, Rup.

A little tired, that's all.

How was work?

[Rupert] Oh, you know, still learning the ropes but-

[Neville] Daddy! Daddy!

[Rupert] ... little less of a hindrance every day.

[Neville] Daddy!

Played cricket at school,

it's the stupidest, stupidest game in the-

[Zoe] Oh, shut up, please!

I'm sorry, I just can't...

[Rupert] No, no, no.

It's all right, darling.

You're a noisy beggar, aren't you, Nev?

Now, what were you doing?

[Neville] Having tea.

Well, go and finish it, please,

and you too, Clary.

All right, Dad.

Sorry about that, Zoe.

There are times when he'd jangle anyone's nerves.

No, I'm sorry, Rup.

I'm just hopeless at this.

I'm hopeless.

No, you're not.

Oh, darling, of course you're not.

I'm so grateful to you for putting up with it all,

but it's not for much longer.

I just can't wait to see you cradle our child.

Well done.

Come along, one more.

That's it, you put them in there.

That's it.

So lovely to get out of London for the weekend?

Yes.

I'm sorry Edward couldn't come with you.

Oh well, you know Edward and golf.

It seems they arranged this game some time ago.

[baby cries]

Oh, shush.

Shush, shush, Roly, darling.

Shush.

Almost time for his bath.

There's always something to do with babies, isn't there?

Yes, but nobody minds.

I wonder how Zoe will cope with being a mother?

She doesn't seem to manage very well with Clary and Neville.

Oh, she'll be fine when it's a baby of her own.

It's second nature, isn't it?

I can't say that I've ever found it that.

Oh, Villy, you only pretend to be cynical.

[Villy laughs]

I know Rupert can't wait.

He's so excited and happy.

And Zoe will be too.

And it will be a wonderful thing for both of them.

Babies always are.

[baby cries]

Oh, Roly.

Do you want a cuddle?

Roly.

Shall we put your hat on?

There you are, there you go.

Danny!

Look, darling.

My darling, girl.

Look at him.

[Rupert sighs & laughs]

I'm dreadfully tired.

[Nurse] Oh, of course you are, Mrs. Cazalet.

Here, let me take him.

Come along, sir,

we must let Mrs. Cazalet have a nice rest.

Of course.

Isn't he beautiful?

[door closes]

Let it die.

Let it die, let it die.

[sombre music]

No, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, please God, no.

I didn't mean it.

What did the doctor say, sir?

It's jaundice, Ellen.

He says the next few days should be critical.

[melancholy music]

I've made some scones.

The first I've ever made actually.

Afraid they're rather hard.

You best not eat them.

It's the thought that counts.

[train chugs along]

It's a good thing other people

don't know a lot of one's thoughts.

I used to wish you were dead.

It's quite all right, I don't anymore.

I hated you for not being my mother you see.

But now I'm awfully glad you never tried to be her.

I can think of you as a friend.

[Zoe sobs]
