04:49which I dare say you've never done before
04:52I'm not afraid of hard work Mrs Beavis
04:54I've always helped my mother in the house
04:56I'm sure you have my dear
05:00I rattle on
05:02and I get out of patience sometimes
05:04with the goings on of the girls nowadays
05:07when I was young
05:09my mother would have taken a stick to me
05:11for half the pertness that I get
05:13but I hope you grow up different
05:16like your mother may have
05:18I didn't know you knew my mother
05:20I knew her a little
05:22a long time ago
05:24well can't sit here gossiping

05:29I've got work to do
05:31thank you ma'am
05:35I do assure you
05:37the man is the most intolerable
05:39if Seymour hadn't been recalled
05:42we most certainly wouldn't be here now
05:44to think of him married to such a delectable beauty
05:46you just wait until you see her Charles

05:50good evening my lord
05:51captain Charles Tennant
05:53good evening sir
05:58board man the soup
06:00captain Charles Tennant
06:08six o'clock Fanny
06:09Fanny are you awake?
06:11yes
06:12I thought we wouldn't have a book from home
06:17look
06:18oh thank you Gwen
06:20etiquette for young ladies
06:22we'll start on this one tonight
06:24I'm ever so grateful for you helping me with me reading Fanny
06:29such a dance
06:31nonsense Gwen
06:32we're helping one another
06:34besides
06:37I'm learning just as much as you
06:40now I must get dressed
06:45oh I nearly forgot
06:46a message from Mrs Beavis
06:48she wants to see you
06:49first thing after breakfast
06:51whatever for?
06:52didn't say
06:53gonna put you across the knee
06:55I shouldn't wonder
06:56let's see
06:58you've been here five months Hooper
07:01yes ma'am
07:03I've been watching you
07:05you needn't think I haven't
07:07you've shown yourself to be a good willing girl
07:11I've had no complaints
07:13the news of your father's death must have come as a shock
07:19but you bore that with great courage
07:23I wasn't expecting it ma'am
07:25of course you weren't
07:28one never expects death at your age
07:32were you very fond of him child?
07:35oh yes
07:36but
07:37we were never very close
07:39he always kept himself at a distance
07:42it's my mother I really love
07:46does that sound wrong?
07:49no
07:50I understand
07:52and it's healthier to be honest with oneself
07:55however
07:57I sent for you now
07:58because I'm putting you to work with Miss Carver
08:01what are you gaping at?
08:03she has her job as we all do
08:06but more it seems than she can cope with on her own at the moment
08:10not that that's surprising
08:13her ladyship's very demanding
08:16all I want you to do is to help her out with the sewing
08:20your needlework's fair
08:22just two or three hours a day
08:24thank you ma'am
08:26off you go and report to her at once
08:29yes ma'am
08:33Hooper
08:34Miss Carver talks a great deal
08:37and gossips
08:39so just forget you were ever called Hopwood
08:50I cannot give praise where it is undeserved
08:53your needlework is just tolerable
08:56in time
08:57if you are diligent who knows
09:00I may train you to be a useful assistant
09:03but have no illusions Hooper
09:06to be a ladies maid to someone like a ladyship
09:09that is something else altogether
09:12many are summoned
09:15but few are chosen
09:18it requires the soul of an artiste
09:21total dedication
09:23an instinctive understanding of one's lady's needs
09:26and the ability to correct her
09:29with the most exquisite tact of course
09:32should her dress sense ever fail her
09:35you ever have to correct Lady Alicia?
09:37certainly not
09:39oh very rarely
09:41her dress sense is almost as perfect as my own
09:45I must go down for my morning tea
09:52I must go down for my morning tea
10:15Carver what did I do?
10:18and where is Carver?
10:20Miss Carver's downstairs ma'am
10:22can I do anything?
10:24presumably you can do something
10:25or you wouldn't be here
10:26I'm looking for my writhing gloves
10:28that fool Carver always hides them
10:34for these then ma'am
10:38now kindly tell me who you are
10:40oh I'm only Hooper ma'am
10:42oh dear
10:47only Hooper
10:49quite enchanting
10:51I find you here toiling away at my horrible chores
10:55you find my gloves
10:56which for some astonishing reason
10:58mademoiselle Carver seems to have wrapped up in a chemise
11:01and after all that you are
11:03only Hooper
11:07listen to me my girl
11:10I am inconsiderate
11:13selfish
11:15infuriating
11:17and untidy
11:19but when I am nice
11:21I'm damn nice
11:23the question is
11:25shall I be nice to you?
11:28I'm afraid I don't know ma'am
11:31nor you do
11:33I must introduce myself
11:34my name is Seymour
11:37oh
11:39I've only been working with Miss Carver a few days ma'am
11:43I'm sorry
11:44I mean my lady
11:45oh don't apologise
11:46and don't call me my lady
11:47I hate all that nonsense
11:49ma'am will do well enough
11:51yes ma'am
11:53you don't look the ordinary kind of maid
11:57did Mrs Beavis engage you?
11:59yes ma'am
12:01well well well
12:04well only Hooper
12:06how would you like to help Carver keep me in order?
12:10oh indeed I should ma'am
12:12oh but shall I let you?
12:15yes I think I shall
12:16I'll see to it today
12:18heavens alive is that right?
12:20I believe so ma'am
12:21I must fly
12:22I have to be at the Albert Gate by noon
12:24goodbye only Hooper
12:25we shall be great friends
12:34her leadership and I have had a discussion
12:38your duty
12:40au pair
12:41will be to wait on her ladyship in a menial capacity
12:46to fetch and carry as it were
12:48while I provide the
12:51coup de grâce
12:53so necessary to
12:54female
12:55elegance
12:57no
12:58Carver's delighted
13:00whoa
13:01if one has to be in domestic service
13:02which I couldn't stand for a moment
13:05it seems you've improved your position Fanny
13:07yes
13:08it's better than carrying coal and sorting laundry
13:11you know Lucy
13:13working for her is like
13:14coming out of the dark into the sunshine
13:16the warmth
13:19the air full of perfume
13:21all those silks and satins to touch
13:25it's like a world I never dreamed existed
13:28Fanny
13:30I want to tell you a secret
13:32I'm going to get away from here
13:34leave home?
13:35yes
13:37one of the supervisors at Henderson's has been especially nice to me
13:40and she told me she's got a friend at Nell Day in Brook Street
13:44who on earth are Nell Day?
13:46only the smartest fashion house in London
13:50they don't just stick dresses on dummies like Henderson's
13:55they use live girls to show them off
13:59and with my looks and figure
14:01she said they were almost bound to take me
14:06the money's better
14:08so I can leave here and get rooms of my own
14:11but what about your mother and father?
14:14oh I'm very fond of them of course
14:17but they stifle me
14:20strange isn't it?
14:22I'd give the world to have a family like yours
14:28and you want to escape from it
14:39alright Hobbs set them up
14:41you first sir
14:56by the way I've been hearing rumors about you Charles
15:00oh
15:03about an encounter you had with the Lady Alicia
15:06while riding in the row
15:08in the row
15:11Uncle Trot!
15:13yes
15:14rather fortuitous really
15:16I saw her coming towards me from some way off
15:19and as we passed her mount shied
15:21and she dropped her whip
15:23it seemed the perfect moment to reintroduce myself
15:28did she remember you?
15:31strangely enough
15:33altogether it was a most satisfactory meeting
15:36jam
15:46yes as I recall you had a great success that first evening
15:49so what? I couldn't follow it through
15:53my damn regiment was immediately sent off on maneuvers
15:57I spent an entire month just wondering about her
16:00well now that you've returned to London and met her again
16:01now that you've returned to London and met her again
16:04is the wandering over?
16:06not completely
16:08making plans?
16:09hmm
16:10they do say Seymour's coming home on leave
16:11thank you Jerry I was aware of that fact
16:12then take care dear fellow
16:13well
16:14apart for extremely unlikely to cross
16:17except possibly on social occasions
16:18and I'm the most circumspect of lovers
16:20already?
16:21in this instance
16:22no not yet
16:24the lady is willing
16:26but caution
16:30Take care, dear fellow.
16:32Well, far for extremely unlikely to cross.
16:38Except possibly on social occasions.
16:41And I'm the most circumspect of lovers.
16:44Already?
16:46In this instance...
16:48No, not yet.
16:50The lady is willing,
16:52but cautious.
17:00Oh.
17:02Still, two out of three is good enough.
17:12So what you really need is a private meeting place.
17:17I may be able to help.
17:20Splendid.
17:23The sooner the better.
17:26That little beauty is like a perfect nectarine.
17:31Ripe for plucking.
17:40What are you staring at?
17:43I'm sorry, my lady.
17:47Does the sight of our beautiful body shock you?
17:51No, ma'am.
17:54Most women should remain fully clothed.
17:59I am not among them.
18:02You are very fortunate, ma'am.
18:05Yes, I am.
18:13Face me, Hooper.
18:16Stand up.
18:18That's better.
18:19I don't think you'd be among them either.
18:26Ma'am.
18:27Oh, don't be coy.
18:29God gives you a beautiful body.
18:32Be proud of it.
18:35And grateful.
18:39Strange, I feel at ease with you.
18:42More so than with poor Carver.
18:45And you just a simple girl.
18:50Yet you're not simple, are you?
18:54You remind me of someone only, Hooper.
18:56I can't think who it might be, ma'am.
19:01It's of no importance.
19:03So few things in life really are.
19:07But beauty is important.
19:10One has a duty to be beautiful.
19:16Especially if one's husband hasn't seen one for a long time.
19:19Is Mr. Seymour coming home now?
19:25At the end of the week.
19:27Yes, he is.
19:49I will inform Madame Laontine that you've arrived, my lord.
20:15Doesn't all this cost a good deal?
20:19Indeed it does.
20:21Oh, rest assured, my dear fellow.
20:23You may have a double pleasure
20:25in enjoying another man's wife
20:26and knowing that the cost
20:28will simply be added to the price of his wife's dresses.
20:33My dear Gerry, how can I repay you?
20:37By simply seducing the Lady Alicia.
20:40You see, Clive Seymour
20:42once opposed my nomination to a certain club.
20:45And I do believe in repaying old debts.
20:47Are you telling me...
20:48My dear, dear Gerry.
20:50Why have you deserted us for so long?
20:53Ah, but I'm here to make amends, Laontine.
20:56May I introduce Captain Charles Tennant?
20:59How do you do?
21:01And how can I be of service to your friend?
21:04He's recently made a lady's acquaintance.
21:05She may shortly wish to avail herself of one of your apartments.
21:10You mean one of my fitting rooms on the second floor?
21:15Precisely.
21:16But of course, if Captain Tennant is a friend of yours,
21:20that is sufficient recommendation for me.
21:22Splendid.
21:33It is good to see you home, Mr. Seymour.
21:36Thank you, Johnson.
21:37We were not expecting you until tomorrow, sir.
21:39I know.
21:40We simply had the good fortune to get away a day early.
21:43Why, Nanny.
21:48Dear Nanny.
21:49Mr. Clive.
21:50Let me take a look at you.
21:53Upon my word, you're not well, Mr. Clive.
21:57Nonsense.
21:58Tiring journey.
21:59Nothing more.
22:00Clive.
22:02Have you no time for your wife?
22:05Forgive me, my love.
22:10Oh, it's so wonderful to be home again.
22:14And forgive my bad manners.
22:16Harry, I don't think you've met my wife.
22:18Darling, this is Harry Somerford, our legal advisor from the embassy.
22:21I'm delighted to meet you, Lady Alicia.
22:24Clive is always singing your praises, Mr. Somerford.
22:28I've asked him to join us at Orton.
22:30Orton?
22:32Where else?
22:34Oh, don't tell me you haven't had my last letter.
22:37I haven't received a letter in the last ten days.
22:40Oh, that confounded French post.
22:43Then you don't know my wonderful news.
22:45It seems I don't.
22:47The ambassador has granted me three whole months extended leave.
22:52Three months?
22:53Three whole glorious months.
22:56Just think of it, my love.
22:57The whole summer in Yorkshire.
23:01That is truly wonderful news.
23:05Never marry a diplomat only, Hooper.
23:09I don't think I'm likely to, ma'am.
23:12It's not that I'm criticizing my husband.
23:14It's just the ineffable boredom of all those embassy parties.
23:22And then there's the opera.
23:24Hours and hours of tedium and no escape.
23:27Those Italian contraltas are the worst.
23:32Warbling away like soft-boiled eggs with half their shells missing.
23:37I can't even imagine it.
23:38Don't try.
23:40I have the most painful reminder of last night.
23:43We sat in a draught all evening.
23:46And I've got a pain like a knife.
23:49Just here below my neck.
23:52Use the old cologne.
23:55If your fingers are anything like Carver's I shall scream.
23:58No!
23:59God!
24:00It's like ice, you little fool!
24:01Is this the place, ma'am?
24:02Yes.
24:03Oh, yes.
24:04Oh, yes.
24:05Oh, there.
24:06Exactly there.
24:07Oh, where did you get that exquisite touch from, Hooper?
24:10Oh, what a treasure you are.
24:11Oh, it had to be spoilt.
24:12Cover me, Hooper.
24:13Who is it?
24:14Oh, I'm not.
24:15Who is it?
24:16Oh, what a treasure you are.
24:18It had to be spoilt.
24:20Cover me, Hooper.
24:22Who is it?
24:27who is it touched from only Hooper?
24:31Oh what a treasure you are.
24:36Oh it had to be spoilt.
24:38Cover me Hooper.
24:41Who is it?
24:45Oi my lad.
24:47Close that door Clive.
24:57Is this a bad moment?
25:01No my love.
25:03Just me being a privileged nuisance that's all.
25:11You haven't met only Hooper have you?
25:17Don't go if her ladyship needs to.
25:19Oh I do I do.
25:23You may not believe this Clive
25:25but only Hooper has worked a transformation in my life.
25:31As she indeed.
25:35I'll return presently my dear.
25:47But Fanny was by far the best girl to help carve her Mr Clive.
25:51Her ladyship's never shown any interest in the servants before.
25:57It never entered my head she'd even meet her.
25:59The fact is she did.
26:01My wife does have an inquiring mind.
26:09Come in.
26:12Thank you Mrs Beavis.
26:20Are you well Fanny?
26:22Yes sir thank you.
26:24You certainly seem to have captivated my wife.
26:27Oh I enjoy working for her ladyship sir.
26:30Good good.
26:31You must do all you can to help.
26:33Fanny my dear.
26:39Wish I could make this gentle for you.
26:43Because you are now close to my wife there's something I must tell you.
26:46I had hoped this might have come later from your mother.
26:52It's to do with Mr Hopwood you see.
26:56My dear.
26:59He was not your real father.
27:02Then that is why I never felt deeply about him.
27:11There is something more you must know.
27:14I think perhaps in my heart I always knew.
27:18The way mother looked at you.
27:21The brooch.
27:23Your caring.
27:25You are my real father.
27:29Oh how I've longed to hear you call me that.
27:33But my dearest there is a problem.
27:38Please sir do sit down.
27:43You see I love my wife very dearly and I would do nothing in the world to cause her pain.
27:48But if she were to learn who you are.
27:52Why you're here.
27:54She would be hurt.
27:56Very deeply.
27:59So.
28:01This must remain our secret.
28:05We must tell no one else.
28:08I promise.
28:11But it will be easier if we could meet sometimes.
28:17Oh my dear.
28:22Of course we can.
28:26We shall meet here.
28:29Secretly.
28:47When it comes to my teacher.
28:48I'm not gonna be involved.
28:49At least at least.
28:50Where is my wreckage.
28:51I have the husband.
28:53Over the years.
28:54We're well wounded YouTube all ages of this.
28:56In many two years.
28:57Let's go.
29:27Do make sure you ask to see the fitting rooms on the second floor.
29:36Charles that's the third time you've reminded me.
29:43Which can only prove how desperate is my need for you.
29:48A need that matches my own.
29:52If only you weren't going to Yorkshire so soon.
29:57You'd have to wait three months.
30:04No.
30:06We'll meet before I go.
30:09Is that possible?
30:11Yes.
30:12I must act quickly.
30:14I am Madeleine your ladyship.
30:28Your ladyship will be good enough to wait.
30:30I will fetch Madame Leontine.
30:35Goodness.
30:37How mysterious.
30:39What do you make of it only Hooper?
30:42Well if it's a shop.
30:44I've never seen one like it before.
30:46Yes.
30:47Well I doubt if they'd care for the word shop.
30:51Wouldn't you like to sit down now?
30:53No.
30:54No I don't think I would.
30:56Your ladyship.
30:58This is indeed a great honor.
31:01A privilege to welcome you to Nelde.
31:05Your gown is ready for you to try on.
31:08If you would be so kind as to step this way.
31:11Certainly.
31:12I beg your pardon my lady.
31:14There is a house rule.
31:16Clients may only be attended by our own staff.
31:20I see.
31:21It is on account of what we call piracy.
31:24Of course this would not apply to yourself my lady.
31:27But I am sure you appreciate the need to protect our creations.
31:35Well only Hooper.
31:38As a dangerous informer you must stay here.
31:41Thank you my lady.
31:43Will you please to come this way?
31:46I believe your best fitting rooms are on the second floor.
31:50You must permit me to show them to you.
32:05Yeah, welcome.
32:06I hope so.
32:08I hope so.
32:15We have a room.
32:18Go get back.
32:19Thanks.
32:20Bye.

32:35now tell me all about these new rooms of yours
32:49well they're at the back of oxford street i share them with a girl from now day
32:54when i told my parents she was an orphan you should have seen them both eyes full of tears
33:01they almost begged me to share rooms with her then is she an orphan of course she isn't
33:08oh these rooms would be all right for the moment what i really want is one of those little houses
33:15by lord's cricket ground a garden a balcony oh lucy what have i said it's just your your marvelous
33:24confidence in life always planning ahead how on earth are you ever going to be able to afford
33:30one of those kind of houses simple i should just find some man to pay the rent
33:36you you mean be a kept woman why not aren't married women kept by their husbands
33:43that's not the same thing and you know it oh it's about time you grew up fanny and face life as it
33:49really is if you think i'm being approved no no of course i don't
33:57but we both know what men want and we've both got good bodies so why not use them to get what we want
34:05my word i've learned a thing or two since i've been at now day society women certainly know how
34:12to get what they want have an ice cream no not until you've told me and stop playing cat and mouse
34:22two ice creams please well they've got these special rooms on the second floor
34:29and this is where our clients meet their lovers in private
34:35this week there was one man a captain charles tenant he was there three afternoons in a row
34:47i don't know who his lady was because we're not really allowed on the second floor
34:52she certainly has him on a string can't you understand what i'm trying to say fanny
35:06if that woman can make a man dance attendance then why can't i all i need is one rich man to start me on my
35:14way
35:27oh
35:31oh
35:33feels tender
35:35you seem to have bruised yourself mum
35:37oh yes i remember now i was standing in front of a door and some idiot opened it i think we'll leave well alone
35:55and what did you do with yourself this afternoon only oh i saw an old friend of mine
36:01old friend in london i thought mrs beaver said you came here straight from yorkshire
36:10oh i think she simply meant that i was born in yorkshire mum
36:14my mother worked in london for some time and when i came here she returned home
36:21strange
36:24i don't normally get things wrong
36:26still you certainly don't sound like a yorkshire girl
36:33oh dear i suppose you'll want to spend some time with your mother while we're at orton
36:38if that's agreeable to you mum
36:40nothing about yorkshire is agreeable to me
36:56i can't believe it
37:14we've been here barely a week and now you tell me you want to go traipsing back to london
37:19clive you're not being very understanding of course i don't want to go back to london
37:26you know i'd far rather stay here with you
37:30i do have a beauty toward my sister
37:34oh damn it alisa adina's not a child she's a she's a grown woman
37:38oh i see and would you have me arrive in a strange city completely alone
37:43walking the streets entirely unchaperoned of course not she's a virtual prisoner at clipston
37:50i know very well what you think of my parents clive imagine she has to spend 12 months of the
37:55year with them this is her one chance to get away it's not that i don't understand adina but
38:01london at this time of the year there's very little happening you know
38:04oh adina isn't seeking excitement or entertainment she merely wants a chance to get away from clipston
38:11that's all isn't it adina yes but what will you do all our friends will be away oh go to art
38:20galleries museums the opera oh i shall be completely bored it is not me that matters it's adina
38:30i'm being an awful nuisance under no no no it's just that well i haven't seen alicia for so long that
38:43well i suppose i mustn't be selfish when were you thinking of going tomorrow catch the midday train
38:49well the sooner i'm gone the sooner i'll be back
38:53oh very well you'll take carver of course if she's well enough what is here so mrs beaver says she's
39:10called the doctor tiresome just when she's needed thank you darling
39:23you can twirl him around your little finger i know boring isn't it
39:49are you all right fanny
39:53come here and sit by me girl
40:07and here was me expecting a flood of questions
40:25i know
40:28it's just i've so many fairy tale pictures in my mind
40:34but i'd hate to lose them fairy tale
40:39aye in a way it was
40:43but the one thing you must remember is that you were a love child in the proper sense of the word
40:48was i
40:51then tell me
40:53it all began at that midsummer dance
40:57where was that
40:58i put the whole
41:02old sir edward gave one every year for the tenants on the estate
41:08mr clive asked me for a dance
41:11and then we danced and danced all night
41:15the next day he rode over to the farm
41:18after that
41:23well we kept on meeting
41:27that was the most wonderful summer i ever remember
41:33but young as i was i knew it had to end sometime
41:36you mean
41:42you knew he'd never marry you
41:46oh no
41:48i wouldn't have married him
41:51why
41:53it wouldn't have been fitting
41:56i was a tenant farmer's daughter and he was just going into the diplomatic service
42:00his career would have been over before it had ever begun
42:05but you were both in love
42:10aye
42:13and it took all my love to convince him that it could never be
42:22you're still in love with him
42:25aren't you mama
42:30there's only ever room for one man in a woman's heart
