00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Thank you for listening.
01:00Again, the past, as we have been told so many times, is a strange country.
01:05Dude, come on!
01:06I'm going as fast as I can, Miss.
01:09Don't be so feeble.
01:11Hurry!
01:17Can I help you, ladies?
01:18I'm here to see my father, Mr. Trenchard.
01:20You stay here.
01:31Who the devil has come to interrupt?
01:33Captain Cooper, you must excuse me.
01:36That's all very well, Trenchard.
01:37Trenchard?
01:38Mr. Trenchard.
01:39Well, we must have the flower by tonight.
01:41And I promise I will do my level best, Captain.
01:44If you'll just wait outside for a moment.
01:50Have you got them?
01:51Three.
01:52One for you, one for my mama, and one for me.
01:55I suppose Lord Bellicis will be dining there before the ball.
02:02She is his aunt.
02:03Of course.
02:05Edmund says there's to be a supper sometime after midnight.
02:07Don't call him Edmund to anyone but me.
02:10Now go to your mother.
02:11She'll need every minute to prepare.
02:12It's too late to have anything made.
02:13But not too late to have things brought up to scratch.
02:15She won't want to go.
02:17She will because she must.
02:19Well, when shall we tell her the rest of it?
02:21Not yet.
02:23It must all be properly managed.
02:24We must take our leave from him.
02:26Now go.
02:28And send that bithering idiot back in.
02:31You won't know a soul there.
02:32Papa knows these people.
02:33He'll know officers who come to his place of work to give him orders.
02:37And they'll be very surprised to find they're sharing a ballroom
02:39with a man who supplies their men with bread and ale.
02:42I hope you won't take this to home with Lord Bellicis.
02:47Beware of castles in the air, my darling.
02:50Of course you won't believe him capable of honourable intentions.
02:52He is the eldest son of an earl, my child.
02:55He cannot choose his wife to suit his heart.
02:58You have enjoyed a flirtation that has harmed neither of you so far.
03:02But it must end before there is damaging talk, Sophia.
03:06Or you will be the one to suffer.
03:07And it doesn't tell you anything
03:10that he has secured us invitations to his aunt's ball?
03:13It tells me that you're a lovely girl and he wishes to please you.
03:16He couldn't have managed it in London,
03:18but in Brussels everything is coloured by war.
03:20And so the normal rules do not apply.
03:22You mean that by the normal rules
03:24we are not acceptable as company for the Duchess's friends?
03:27That is exactly what I mean, and you know it to be true.
03:30Papa would not agree.
03:31Your father has travelled a long way,
03:35and so he does not see the natural barriers
03:37that will prevent him from going much further.
03:39Be content with who we are.
03:42Your father has done well.
03:44Don't look down on us.
03:45You're the one who looks down.
03:47The schoolmaster's daughter
03:48who was too good for her market trader husband.
03:51I don't look down on anyone.
03:54Least of all your father.
03:56I do not care to place myself in situations
03:58where I don't feel comfortable.
03:59You see, to me, that's another kind of snobbery.
04:01Am I too early, Mum?
04:03No, no, Least, come in.
04:08We're finished here, aren't we?
04:10If you say so, Mama.
04:21We've been asked to the Duchess of Richmond's ball.
04:24Never.
04:26That is, we should make a decision about your gown, Mum.
04:29I'll need some time if it's to be just so.
04:38Miss Sophia seems, um, excited.
04:42I expect Lord Bellis has arranged the tickets for the ball.
04:45It may have been the Duke of Wellington.
04:47Mr Trenchler is a great favourite of his,
04:50and the ball is being given in the Duke's honour.
04:53Yes, that must be it, Mum.
04:54Well, she told you then.
04:56He's done it.
04:57Thank you, Ellis.
04:58If you could come back later.
05:06But what a chance it is.
05:08The Duke himself will be there.
05:09Two Dukes, for that matter.
05:10My commander and our hostess's husband.
05:12And reigning princes, too.
05:14James Trencher, who started at a stall in Covent Garden,
05:16let's get himself ready to dance with the princess.
05:20You will do no such thing.
05:22You would embarrass us both.
05:23We'll see.
05:24I mean it.
05:25It's bad enough that you encouraged Sophia.
05:27Anne, I believe the boy is sincere.
05:30I'm sure of it, in fact.
05:31You are nothing of the sort.
05:33Lord Bellis himself might even think he's sincere.
05:35He's not his own master,
05:36and nothing proper can come of it.
05:38How strange that we should be discussing a ball
05:47when we're on the brink of war.
05:49How ridiculous.
05:50I don't agree.
05:51With that, or about Lord Bellis's.
05:53Just know this.
05:55If Sophia comes to any harm through this nonsense,
05:57I will hold you personally responsible.
05:59Very well.
06:00And as for blackmailing him
06:01into begging his aunt for invitations,
06:04I feel so humiliated.
06:05Anne, you won't spoil this.
06:07I won't allow you to.
06:09I don't need to.
06:11It will spoil itself.
06:21I hope this isn't a mistake.
06:24Too late for that sort of talk.
06:27What's so funny?
06:29Well, only that we came to Brussels to escape society,
06:31and now we appear to be giving the ball of the season.
06:34The Duke insisted.
06:36He said we needed to show that nothing bony could do
06:40could rattle the British.
06:43Edmund, you're the very first.
06:46How nice.
06:47Thought I'd come early to lend you support.
06:51I must say, aunt,
06:52you've made these dreary rooms feel very splendid.
06:55No one would know people were choosing
06:56which coach to buy in here only a few months ago.
06:58Mr. and Mrs. James Trenchard,
07:01Miss Sophia Trenchard.
07:07You've not invited the magician.
07:09What do you mean?
07:10He's Wellington's main supplier.
07:12What's he doing here?
07:14The Duke of Wellington's fiddler.
07:16I've invited a merchant supplier to my board.
07:18My dear aunt,
07:19you've invited one of the Duke's most loyal helpers
07:22in his fight for victory.
07:23You have tricked me, Edmund,
07:25and I do not like to be made a fool of.
07:27I hope your mother isn't going to be cross with me.
07:29This is good of you, Duchess.
07:34Not at all, Mrs. Trenchard.
07:38I gather you've been so kind to my nephew.
07:41It's always a pleasure to see Lord Bellicis.
07:43All those young men so far from home.
07:46Poor things.
07:48Well, if it isn't our magician.
07:50Good evening.
07:52Um, you're, um, great, um, Duke.
07:57May I present my daughter, Sophia?
07:59Miss Trenchard, may I escort you into the ball?
08:08I thought you'd never get here.
08:10Don't be silly.
08:10We're very early.
08:12An hour away from you is like a lifetime.
08:13You read that in a book.
08:15Can Edmund really be serious?
08:19The mother isn't too ridiculous.
08:22The father's simply grotesque.
08:24I'll talk to Edmund later on.
08:26Wait until the ball is over and the girl is gone.
08:29Pray Caroline never finds out I invited her here.
08:33His Royal Highness, the Prince of Orin.
08:37But why don't you call him your grace?
08:59Your grace is for servants and officials, not for a private party.
09:03But I've always called the Duke of Wellington, your grace.
09:06Because you're his vetiler.
09:07Well, then I shouldn't do it tonight.
09:09If you hadn't procured our invitations, you wouldn't be in this invidious position now.
09:13What brings the magician here tonight?
09:15Uh, the Duchess invited us.
09:17Did she, indeed?
09:19Then has the evening been enjoyable so far?
09:21Oh, yes, your grace.
09:22But there has been a good deal of talk about the advance of Bonaparte.
09:28Well, that's why we're so late.
09:31It looks as if we'll be off tomorrow.
09:34Am I to understand that the charming lady is Mrs. Trenchard?
09:38Your calm is very reassuring, Duke.
09:41Pansonby, are you acquainted with the magician?
09:45I've spent a good deal of time outside Mr. Trenchard's office, waiting to plead the cause of my men.
09:52Mrs. Trenchard, may I present Sir William Pansonby.
09:54Pansonby, this is the magician's wife.
09:57I hope he's kinder to you than he is to me.
09:59A splendid touch, Duchess.
10:15My father did raise the Gordon Highlanders after all, sir.
10:18How could their commanding officer refuse?
10:21How, indeed.
10:21So, if you'd like to.
10:49My mother is coming to break us apart.
10:52Why is she so against me?
10:54She's convinced nothing good can come of it.
10:57Well, then we shall prove her wrong.
11:00You mustn't let Sophia monopolise you, Lord Bellassus.
11:03You must have many friends here who would be glad of the chance to hear your news.
11:07Never fear, Mrs. Trenchard.
11:09I am where I want to be.
11:11That is all very well, my lord.
11:13Sophia has a reputation to protect,
11:15and the courtesy of your attention may be putting it at risk.
11:18I wish you would give me credit for little sense, my mother.
11:20I wish I could.
11:22My lords, ladies, and gentlemen,
11:26supper is served.
11:28I wish I could.
11:29I wish I could.
11:29I wish.
11:30This is a surprise.
11:30I wish I could.
11:31I wish you could.
11:32I wish you couldn't.
11:32I wish I could.
11:33It is such a goodbye.
11:34I wish I could.
11:43I wish it could.
12:16Your kindnesses, your graces, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, much as I regret to interrupt the Duchess's wonderful entertainment. I must ask those of you in uniform to prepare to leave. The moment is almost upon us.
12:27May we have the run for a moment? Ponsonby, you have the map?
12:47I do indeed.
12:53Orange has had a message from Baron Rebeck. Bonaparte has pushed up the road from Chraderoy to Brussels, and he's getting nearer.
13:00I've given orders for the army to concentrate at Quatre Bras, but we shall not stop him there.
13:04You may. You have some hours before daylight.
13:06If I do not, then I shall have to fight him here, at Waterloo. I shall need your help, Magician.
13:13We will not fail for lack of supplies.
13:15You're a bright man, Trenchard. You must use your talents well when the wars are done. I believe you have the potential to go far.
13:22Grace is very kind.
13:24But don't be distracted by the gee jaws of society. You're cleverer than that, or should be.
13:28Enough. Let us get ready.
13:46I must go to the depot, put you and Sophia in the carriage, and then I'll walk.
13:49Is it the final struggle?
13:51I think so. We've told ourselves every skirmish was the last battle for years, but this time I truly believe it is.
13:56Where is Sophia?
13:58At least no one will remember their folly and indiscretion.
14:01Just bring her to the door, my dear, whilst I fetch the shawls.
14:05Don't be silly, my darling. Nothing can happen to us. We're the luckiest couple alive.
14:09We're the most in love.
14:10And when I get back, we'll laugh at your fears and make merry. I give you my words.
14:15I know a gentleman would break his word.
14:17Precisely.
14:22Sophia.
14:25Take care of her.
14:28What is it?
14:49You knew he must go.
14:51It's not that.
14:52My dear, you must control yourselves.
14:56Come with me, quickly.
15:06Go now.
15:07I will return when I can.
15:08thought you said me like this.
15:11Oh, sorry.
15:12No.
15:13Do you believe me?
15:13Oh, sorry.
15:14I can't believe me.
15:18I can only do that in 2021.
15:21I can't believe me.
15:22How long can it go on?
15:39Until one side is victorious.
15:41But I don't believe it can last much longer now.
15:45If Papa had sent news, you'd tell me, wouldn't you?
15:47Of course.
15:49But it'd be far too busy to think of us.
15:52If Napoleon wins, she'd be escaped before his troops sapped the city.
15:57Oliver, dear, will you run and fetch him a marshal?
16:11You mustn't frighten him.
16:13How can you be so calm?
16:15What option is open to me?
16:16I want to run into the street and scream.
16:19Be my guest.
16:20I doubt anyone will notice.
16:24But while you're there,
16:26I just pray they come home safe.
16:27And I'll wait.
16:31Is there a lot more'?
16:32I love you.
16:33I don't know.
17:33I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to see you again.
17:41We've done it.
17:43Boney's on the run.
17:45I say again, thank God.
17:50There's more news.
17:51Not everyone came through the fighting.
17:58That's how I should imagine.
18:00Poor told.
18:00But the Duke of Brunswick is dead.
18:05Lord Hay, Sir William Ponsonby.
18:07Oh, well, we should pray for them.
18:10I feel our presence there that night ties us to them all.
18:13Indeed.
18:15Indeed.
18:15There is another casualty that you won't have to imagine a link with.
18:27Viscount Bellasus.
18:29I don't say so.
18:35Do not say so.
18:37Are they sure?
18:38I went to the battlefield.
18:40After the fighting was finally over.
18:44And a very awful sight it was too.
18:47Bodies everywhere.
18:50Groans from the wounded.
18:53Scavengers.
18:54Picking at the corpses.
18:57Why did you go?
19:01Business.
19:03Why do I ever do anything?
19:05I had to quantify what had been lost.
19:10I heard Bellasus was on a list of fatalities.
19:12I asked to see him, so...
19:14Yes, I'm sure.
19:20How is Sophia?
19:22The shadow of herself since the war.
19:23No doubt dreading the very news.
19:27Which now we must take her.
19:29I will tell her.
19:32I think it must be me.
19:34I'm her mother.
19:34No, I will tell her.
19:36You can go to her afterwards.
19:38Where is she?
19:40In the garden.
19:41I will tell her.
19:41I will tell her.
19:55You can't go to heaven.
19:55You can't go to heaven.
19:56ORCHESTRA PLAYS
20:26ORCHESTRA PLAYS
20:56Mrs. Trenchard, the Duchess of Bedford is expecting me.
21:12Mrs. James Trenchard.
21:15Mrs. Trenchard, how good of you to come?
21:23The Duke tells me that Mr. Trenchard was most anxious that you should.
21:27The Duke has always been very good to Mr. Trenchard, Duchess.
21:31Now, do you know anyone here?
21:33Please don't worry. I shall manage perfectly.
21:35I'm so interested by your invention of afternoon tea.
21:38It does seem to have taken wing.
21:40Your Grace?
21:43Please excuse me.
21:57Oh, well, saved.
22:06Really, what is this newfangled tea?
22:09It's not that I dislike a light dungeon to carry one through to dinner, but why can't one sit at a table?
22:13I think the point is that one isn't trapped.
22:15We can all move about and talk to whom we like.
22:18Well, I'd like to talk to you.
22:21Mrs. Trenchard, let me introduce you to Mrs. Carver and Mrs. Shute.
22:25They are so anxious to know you.
22:28Aren't you going to introduce me?
22:29This is the Dowager Duchess of Richmond.
22:35May I present Mrs. James Trenchard.
22:38And now, please let me introduce you to Mrs. Carver and Mrs. Shute.
22:41Don't snatch her away.
22:43I think I know Mrs. Trenchard.
22:45You've a wonderful memory, Duchess.
22:47I would have thought I was changed past all recognition.
22:49But you're right.
22:51We have met.
22:52I was at your ball in Brussels before Waterloo.
22:55You were at the famous ball.
22:57I was.
22:57But I thought you had only lately.
23:02I must see if everyone has what they want.
23:06I remember you well.
23:08I'm impressed, if you do.
23:10Of course, we didn't really know each other, did we?
23:13No.
23:14My husband and I were wished upon you.
23:16I remember.
23:18My late nephew was in love with your daughter.
23:21Perhaps.
23:22She was certainly in love with him.
23:24How is your daughter these days?
23:25You see, I remember.
23:27She was a beauty.
23:29What became of her?
23:31Like Lord Bellis's, Sophia is dead.
23:34Not many months after the ball.
23:37So she never married?
23:39No.
23:40She never married.
23:42I'm sorry.
23:44Truly.
23:45Funny enough, I remember her quite well.
23:51A real beauty.
23:54Do you have other children?
23:56Oh, yes.
23:56A son, Oliver.
23:58But Sophia was the child of your heart.
24:00I know we're supposed to support the fiction that we love all our children equally.
24:06Oh, I don't even try.
24:08I fonder some of my children on reasonably good terms with most of the rest, but I have
24:14two I actively dislike.
24:15How many are there?
24:19Fourteen.
24:20Heavens.
24:22So the Richmond Duke to miss safe?
24:24It would seem so.
24:27Well, I have stayed too long and I will pay for it.
24:32I've enjoyed our talk, Mrs. Trenchard, as a nice reminder of more exciting times, but
24:44I suppose this is the advantage of the pick-up, put-down tea.
24:47We may go when we please.
24:49I wish you and your family well, my dear.
24:54Whatever sides we may once have been on.
24:57I say the same to you, Duchess.
25:02You had a lot to say.
25:32What did I say to my sister?
25:35Our hostess tells me that you were at the famous ball in Brussels.
25:39I was, Lady Brockenhurst.
25:41Yes, I'm Lady Brockenhurst.
25:43And you are Mrs. Trenchard, I think.
25:45I'm flattered you've heard of me.
25:47I certainly have.
25:52These are too delicious to resist.
25:53It feels strange to eat at this time, but I suppose we will still want dinner when it comes.
26:04Please.
26:08Tell me, why were you at the ball?
26:10Did you know my sister and her husband?
26:12No, not really.
26:15I'd always heard of you both as the Duke of Wellington's victualer and his wife.
26:21Seeing you here today, I wonder if I was misinformed.
26:24No, the report was accurate enough.
26:27Is Mr. Trenchard still supplying foodstuffs to his customers?
26:31You must be very good at it.
26:32He went into partnership with Mr. Qubit and his brother when we returned from Brussels.
26:38He manages their projects.
26:40The great Thomas Qubit?
26:42Heavens.
26:43I assume he was no longer a ship's carpenter by that time.
26:45You're right.
26:46He started as a carpenter, but he devised a new method for building.
26:50He undertook to employ all the different trades involved.
26:53Bricklayers, plasterers.
26:54So the people he worked for...
26:56Had only to give the commission.
26:57He and his brother saw to everything.
26:59Very impressive.
27:00They were building the London Institution in Finsbury Circus when they met Mr. Trenchard.
27:06I remember the institution being opened.
27:08We find it magnificent.
27:10After that, they worked on Tavistock Square and various other ventures.
27:15Until they built Belgravia.
27:18This spangled city for the rich.
27:20Where we all live now.
27:24Well, what a story.
27:27You are a woman of the new age, Mrs. Trenchard.
27:30I hope I do not offend you.
27:32Not in the least.
27:35As for why we were at the ball,
27:37we were friendly with a favourite of your sister and he got us invited.
27:42And who was this favourite?
27:45Might I have known him?
27:48Come, Mrs. Trenchard, don't be bashful, please.
27:51But you knew him very well.
27:54It was Lord Bellicis.
27:56And you, did you know my son well?
28:00Mrs. Trenchard, would you like to come and meet a friend?
28:03Forgive me, my dear.
28:03Mrs. Trenchard and I are talking.
28:05So, you were saying?
28:15Only that my daughter knew Lord Bellicis better than we did.
28:20Russell's was quite a hothouse at that time.
28:22We none of us knew what was coming.
28:25The enslavement of England or a British victory.
28:27The uncertainty created an atmosphere that was heady, wild and exciting.
28:36And the knowledge must have hung in the air
28:38that some of those smiling young men would not be coming home.
28:42Yes.
28:46They must have enjoyed it.
28:47The glamour and the danger.
28:52Because danger is glamorous when you're young.
28:56So where is she now?
29:02Sophia died.
29:08Now, that I did not know.
29:10It was quite soon after the battle, so a long time ago now.
29:14I'm so sorry.
29:17Everyone claims to understand what you're going through, but I do.
29:22And I've learnt that it never goes away.
29:28Oddly, I find that comforting.
29:31They say misery loves company, and perhaps it does.
29:38So you remember Edmund?
29:41Very well.
29:43He would come to the house with the other young people.
29:46He was very popular.
29:47Charming.
29:48Good-looking.
29:50And funny as could be.
29:51Oh, yes.
29:53All that and more.
30:06Do you have other children?
30:09I'm so sorry.
30:10I remember now you do not.
30:11Please forgive me.
30:13No, when we go, there will be nothing left of us.
30:17Not a trace.
30:20But we are proud of Edmund still.
30:23Of course you are.
30:24I'm going now, Mrs. Trenchard.
30:28I've enjoyed our talk more than I anticipated.
30:34Who told you I'd be here?
30:35No.
30:35No one.
30:36No one.
30:38I asked our hostess who it was speaking with my sister, and she told me your name.
30:45I was curious.
30:46I've spoken of you and your daughter so many times, it seemed a shame to miss the chance of a meeting.
30:53I hope you're not sorry.
30:56I'm glad.
30:57You've made me feel like I've seen him again.
31:03Dancing and flirting and having fun in his last hours.
31:08I like to think of that.
31:11I will think of that.
31:15So thank you.
31:16What was Mr. Wilkie like?
31:29Civil enough.
31:31A year after he painted my portrait, he painted the young queen at her first council meeting.
31:36You'd have to pay twice what I gave to get him now.
31:40You only encourage her to beg.
31:43Mama, you know I was alone all afternoon.
31:45Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of things that could have used your attention.
31:49That's not the point.
31:50What I mean is I could have easily accompanied you if I'd been told where you were going.
31:53But you weren't invited.
31:55What difference does that make?
31:57Most women would have replied saying they'd be happy to accept and they'll bring their daughter.
32:01You're not my daughter.
32:04She's your daughter-in-law, mother, which would mean the same as daughter in any other house.
32:09I don't think I'd be justified in taking someone, anyone, to the house of a woman I barely know.
32:14A duchess, you barely know.
32:16And I don't know at all.
32:18So who was there?
32:19Anyone interesting?
32:21I talked to the old Duchess of Richmond.
32:24We reminisced about our time in Brussels at the ball.
32:28Oh, yes.
32:29Her sister was there too.
32:31You mean the mother of...
32:32Yes.
32:35Did you speak with her?
32:37Yes.
32:38And what did she say?
32:38I'll tell you later.
32:39We mustn't bore Oliver and Susan.
32:41I'm only bored because I wasn't there.
32:45I didn't see you at the office today, Oliver.
32:47I didn't come in.
32:48Why not?
32:49I went to inspect the work at Chapel Street.
32:51Why have you made the houses so small?
32:52Why don't you put a dent in the profits?
32:54When you develop an area, you must build for the whole picture.
32:57You can't only have palaces.
32:58You must house the supporters of the princes who live in the palaces.
33:02They're clerks and managers and upper servants.
33:04Then there must be a muse for the coaches and coachmen.
33:06They all take space, but it is space well used.
33:10Have you given any more thought to where we might live, Father?
33:12Well, I'd be happy to give you the pick of anything empty in Chester Row.
33:17Aren't they little pokey?
33:18She's right.
33:19They're too small for entertaining.
33:20And I suppose I have a position to keep up as your son.
33:23They're less pokey than the first house I shared with your mother.
33:27I have been brought up differently from the way you began your lives.
33:30If I have grander expectations, it is you who have given them to me.
33:33Well, well.
33:33Well, we seem to be failing on every count tonight.
33:38We'll be at Glanville next month.
33:39I hope you'll come down.
33:41Perhaps you might stay for a week or two.
33:44We will if we can.
33:46It's such a way.
33:47What about you, Oliver?
33:48You've always loved Glanville.
33:50It's true.
33:52But I'm afraid Susan is not a good traveller.
33:55I'm ashamed to admit it, but he's right.
33:57Two hours in a carriage and it takes me a day to recover.
34:00So three days in a carriage must be a trial indeed.
34:03I hate to disappoint you when I know you love it so.
34:06I suppose I feel I brought it back to life.
34:08And in return, the house brought me back to life.
34:10After Sophia's death, you mean?
34:13I'm going up.
34:19Don't stay too long over your port.
34:21Servants need to get in.
34:22Can't you control her?
34:34Apparently not.
34:36Not Chester Rose, she says, as if he'd threatened her with cholera.
34:40It's much too pokey for fine folks like we.
34:43And you should have seen the look the master got when he suggested Mr Oliver did a hand's turn.
34:48I hope there's nothing untoward on display in this room.
34:51No, Mr Turton.
34:53Mr and Mrs Trenchard pay our wages.
34:55And for that they are entitled to be treated with respect, Morris.
34:59Yes, Mr Turton.
35:06Of course, they're not what they like to pretend.
35:09It's only the more obvious when they're alone.
35:11Mr Trenchard is a respectable, polite and honest to deal with, Mr Turton.
35:15Mr Miles is the master's valet, Mr Turton, so we must know.
35:18I've no far worse in households headed by a coronet.
35:20I don't like to disagree, Mr Miles, but my sympathies are with Mr Oliver.
35:25They've brought him up as a gentleman, but now they seem to resent him for wanting to be one.
35:29Why should Mr Oliver ask for houses and estates that are grander than his parents?
35:32What's he done to earn them? That's all I'd like to know.
35:34Gentlemen don't earn their houses, Mr Miles.
35:38They inherit them.
35:39I agree.
35:40Why shouldn't Mrs Oliver have a decent house to entertain?
35:44She's brought enough money to the table.
35:45It's illogical for the master to force them to live in a rabbit hutch.
35:49I'm sorry to say it, Miss Spear, and I'm glad you think her a good employer.
35:53But I find Mrs Oliver very hard to please.
35:57She's got a point.
35:58I think she was an infanta of Spain with all her heirs and graces, but I've never had any trouble with the mistress.
36:04She's straightforward, and I've no reason to complain.
36:08I'm glad to hear it.
36:09We must feel some sympathy for the master.
36:11It's hard to get the trick of it in a single generation.
36:14I agree with you there, Miss Ellis.
36:16We don't see these things in the same way, Mr Turton.
36:19We'll have to agree to differ.
36:20Of course you can't tell her.
36:28What are you talking about?
36:29But when she said there'd be nothing left of us, you'd have been as touched as I was.
36:34So you like the idea that Sophia should be remembered as a harlot?
36:39I would ask her to keep the secret.
36:42Of course, I couldn't force her, but...
36:44Do we have a right to hide from her that she has a grandson?
36:48We've hidden it for more than a quarter of a century.
36:52I forbid it.
36:54I will not have the memory of our daughter defaced, certainly not by her own mother.
36:59Get that dog off the bed.
37:00So you're in love with me.
38:00What is it?
38:03I'm going to have a child.
38:07What?
38:10Well, when?
38:13The end of February, I think.
38:15Don't you know?
38:16The end of February.
38:20Do I have Lord Bell as a sister thank for this?
38:26Oh, you foolish.
38:30Stupid, stupid fool.
38:33How did it happen?
38:34How could you have let it happen?
38:36I thought we were married.
38:38Didn't you know you needed your father's permission for it to be legal?
38:41You're only 18.
38:42Papa gave his permission.
38:47Your...
38:47Your father knew?
38:50You knew that Edmund wanted to marry me before he went back to the fighting, and he gave permission.
38:56Edmund found a parson to marry us in a little chapel near the city.
39:00I now pronounce you man and wife.
39:04And we're truly married.
39:16Most definitely.
39:16And we left and went back to its lodgings.
39:24That's when it happened.
39:25Edmund spoke of his love and our future right up until the moment we were leaving his aunt's ball on the night of the battle.
39:39So when did you find out?
39:41As we came out into the street, there was a group of mounted officers in the uniforms of the 52nd Light Infantry.
39:51Edmund's regiment.
39:54And?
39:55One of them was the parson who had married us.
39:58He was a soldier.
40:03A friend of Edmund's who turned his collar around to deceive me.
40:06Now I understand what put you in such a state that night.
40:09I thought it was simply Lord Bellis was leaving for the battle.
40:12The moment I saw the man I knew I'd been duped.
40:15I was not heading for a golden future.
40:18I was a stupid girl who'd been used as a streetwalker.
40:22I suppose I clung to the idea that Edmund might explain that he was killed before he had the chance.
40:28When did you know you were carrying his child?
40:32I wouldn't admit it at first.
40:34I was like a mad woman.
40:36I took foolish remedies.
40:38I gave a gypsy a sovereign for what I'm sure was sugar water.
40:42But they all failed.
40:43I'm still enceinte.
40:46What have you told your father?
40:49He knows I was tricked.
40:52I told him that morning he brought me the muse of Edmund's death, but he thinks I got away with it.
40:58We must go north, out of sight, while James makes arrangements for the child.
41:11I'll have a story ready by tomorrow, but tonight I'll speak with your father.
41:17Don't be too hard on him.
41:19It was his dream as much as mine.
41:20You're a young girl.
41:21You're supposed to have dreams.
41:22He's a parent.
41:25He's your father, for God's sake.
41:27He should have protected you from believing them.
41:29He's your father, for God's sake.
41:56Mrs. Casson, you're back.
42:03I'm afraid the baby came very quickly, not long after you set out.
42:06Is it healthy?
42:07It seems to be.
42:10Mrs. Casson.
42:14We can't stop the bleeding.
42:21I'm here.
42:23Tell me what I can do.
42:25Have you seen him?
42:27The doctor says he's very healthy and spry, my darling.
42:30But now we must concentrate on you.
42:33Look after him, won't you?
42:36We will look after him together.
42:38It must be my mum.
42:40Whoever takes him in, make sure they love him.
42:45Let's talk about all that when you are well and rested.
42:49Give my best love to Papa.
42:52Try not to blame him.
42:54You're afraid of it, please.
42:55And remember me.
43:06My darling John.
43:09As if I would not think of you every day of my life.
43:12But now you need to rest.
43:17And when you wake...
43:18And when you wake...
43:21Sophia...
43:23Oh...
43:25Oh, my dearest one.
43:30Sophia...
43:30I'm afraid it is over, Mrs. Casson.
43:32I'm afraid it is finished.
43:36I'm afraid it is finished.
43:36I'm afraid it is finished.
43:36I'm afraid it is finished.

43:46I'm afraid it is finished.
43:47I'm afraid it is finished.
43:48I'm afraid it is finished.

47:06And now on ITV, a round-up of all the stories that have been making the headlines this Sunday with the very latest ITV News.
47:18The UK sees its biggest jump in coronavirus deaths yet, as the government confirms the elderly will need to quarantine themselves.
47:33The over-70s will be asked to self-isolate for up to four months, starting in a matter of weeks.
47:39That is in our plan, but we don't want to say that people need to do that until the time is right.
47:47Attention, please. An emergency state has been activated due to the coronavirus.
47:54Also, under lockdown, the Britons stranded in Spain, as the Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel there.
48:04And supermarket bosses plead with customers to be considerate, but the panic buying continues.
48:10This is ITV News with Duncan Golestani.
48:27Good evening. The number of UK deaths from coronavirus has risen by 14 tonight, the biggest daily increase so far.
48:37A total of 35 people have now died with the infection. Sadly, they will not be the last.
48:42There are reports tonight that a leaked document from Public Health England estimates 80% of the population could be infected in the next year.
48:51To date, the Health Secretary confirmed strict new measures to protect the vulnerable will be introduced within weeks,
48:58including asking the over-70s to isolate themselves for up to four months.
49:03Our political correspondent Shehab Khan has the latest.
49:07In a matter of weeks, this might be a thing of the past for those aged over 70.
49:13In its attempts to mitigate some of the impact of coronavirus, the government will tell those who are vulnerable
49:18They have to self-isolate, potentially for months.
49:23It is a major ramping up of the government's plans, and the Health Secretary today admitted it was a considerable escalation.
49:30The shielding of vulnerable people and the elderly, who are the most affected by this virus, that is in our plan.
49:39But we don't want to say that people need to do that until the time is right, because it's clearly a very significant intervention.
49:46And keeping that in place would need to be for some time.
49:52The government's plans were criticised by Jeremy Corbyn.
49:55We're suffering a pandemic.
49:56It's very...
