00:00Pardon me, sir, sorry to interrupt, is your sister...

00:27She's gone upstairs to the west.

00:28What? Is she all right?

00:29Just a little tired.

00:31I see.

00:41Tell me something.

00:43Does she seem any better to you these past few weeks?

00:46Seem very much this afternoon, sir.

00:48Is this where I thought, too?

00:50Not anymore.

00:51She said she felt very well, but in fact, she's...

00:55Oh, dear.

00:57You hadn't taken her down, had you, to dust her?

01:01Why would she do it, sir?

01:03Why would she take things in her own house and hide them, put them away?

01:08I don't know.

01:09It's very important that we continue to be kind and gentle with Mrs. Manningham,

01:14and not to bother her with any worries and troubles.

01:16Of course.

01:17She needs rest, and calm, so she's strong that she needs to be protected a bit,

01:22relieved of responsibility.

01:25It's been wonderful for the past six months.

01:27You've shielded her, Camille.

01:29Of course.

01:30Thank you.

01:31For the present, if she behaves strangely or seems forgetful,

01:36let's try and reassure her, do you understand?

01:38Yes, sir.

01:39And, as always, if you notice any change or activity that I should be aware of.

01:43Yes, sir, I know my duty, sir.

01:45Thank you.

01:46For her own protection, I can't think of anything else we can do for her.

01:52Perhaps she just needs a little more time to grow accustomed to living here.

01:56Not everyone can live in a house where...

02:00That's true, but Bella loves it here.

02:03It's quite a back story.

02:05We both do.

02:07That'll be the new girl.

02:08Yes, we sure will.

02:21Mr. Manningham, Nancy. Say hello to the master.

02:25Sir?

02:27Good afternoon. Nancy, welcome to our home.

02:29Oh, thank you, sir.

02:30Elizabeth can show you to your room. She's down the hallway over here.

02:33Mrs. Manningham is resting at the present.

02:35Elizabeth can show you around, if that's all right.

02:37Yes, sir.

02:38Sorry, I meant to tell you I've had to put Nancy upstairs at the back.

02:41Upstairs? But I...

02:42There was a problem, darling, with the window and the plaster's all gone to damp.

02:45It'll have to be replaced.

02:46I see.

02:47I'm sorry, sir, I didn't notice, so I went in there yesterday.

02:50No, you're right. I just thought it would be more convenient for Nancy to be down here.

02:56Oh, well.

02:58Off you go.

03:00Yes, sir.

03:02This way.

03:20Thank you.
