00:21It's still raining.
00:25I said it's still raining.
00:27So what? You're not going anywhere.
00:30Do I ever?
00:30I might be the Count of Monte Cristo for all I see of the outside world.
00:35Oh, they were going to make a musical of that.
00:37My agent said I was a natural for the spirit of the key.
00:41Whatever went wrong?
00:42There's no such part.
00:43Sissy.
00:44What was I saying when Dolly interrupted?
00:47You were complaining about the food, Flora.
00:49Not without cause. I shall keep that egg.
00:52I never mentioned food. I said I never went out.
00:55You're right. We don't get out enough, do we, sissy?
00:59Flora doesn't.
01:00What do you know about it?
01:01Oh, I've been very worried about you, Flora.
01:03You've been looking ever so peaky lately.
01:06This morning when I brought you your tea, I thought you were dead.
01:12Sorry to disappoint you.
01:14Just as a matter of interest, what did you do about it?
01:17I folded your hands across your chair.
01:21I wonder why I woke up with a cramp.
01:24Well, as you're so worried about me, we will go out for the day.
01:28We'll go to the beach. I feel like a game around us.
01:31We can't go today.
01:32Why not? Lost the stumps again.
01:34It's raining so.
01:35It'll ruin my sick.
01:36Oh, isn't it marvellous?
01:38One drum of rain and you're back down your holes like rabbits.
01:41It's times like this that I long for Mr. Petty.
01:44Why, did he have an umbrella?
01:47We'll go tomorrow.
01:49We can't go tomorrow either.
01:51Snow forecast again?
01:53Flora, I hope not.
01:54We'll all slide off.
01:56Slide off what?
01:57The church roof.
01:59She hasn't been taking her tablets again.
02:02What church roof?
02:03Ours, dear.
02:04St. Michael and all angels.
02:06Well, that lets me out.
02:07Oh, go and light a candle.
02:09What are we doing on the church roof?
02:11Mending it.
02:12Why, what's the matter with it?
02:13It's got a hole in it.
02:14How'd you know been flying low again?
02:17I met the vicar in the fish shop.
02:19He's ever so worried.
02:20He can see the sky through that roof.
02:22Oh, I see.
02:23And you told him that Katie, Dolly, you and I would shin up a ladder and mend it.
02:27Yes, and Mildred.
02:28Oh, that makes all the difference.
02:29Now we're in with a chance.
02:31I gave him my word.
02:32Well, you'll just have to ask for it back, won't you?
02:34Have you forgotten the harvest festival?
02:36My marrow?
02:38What did the vicar say?
02:39Artificially induced.
02:41And all I did was to wrap it up in a cardi.
02:44My mustard and cress was highly commended.
02:47Well, if that wasn't artificially induced, I'd like to know what was.
02:50She grew it on her flannel.
02:54I think I'm going to be sick.
02:55Oh, where's my Wincanus?
02:58Oh, got the shakes, have you, dear?
03:00Flora, please, all joking to one side.
03:03I need this.
03:04I've had such an argy-bargy with the Padre.
03:07He wants us to mend his roof.
03:09Mend it?
03:10Nothing.
03:10He wants us to pay for it.
03:12Oh, what's wrong, Sissy?
03:13I hope I'm as religious as the next man.
03:16But I said to him, vicar, I said, damn it all, we are on fixed incomes.
03:21You go to the working classes, I said.
03:23Bikes at the front door, jags at the back.
03:26But at Paradise Lodge, the cupboard is bare.
03:29Right, right, Mildred.
03:31Every bit I have over goes to the actor's orphanage.
03:34Mine goes to donkeys.
03:38They grow old, you see.
03:40Oh, isn't it marvellous?
03:41All these girls have dwelt amongst the heathen without knowing it.
03:45Actors' orphanage, worn-out donkeys,
03:48and there's that nice, kind Christian vicar
03:51serving his flock in a sou'wester.
03:53I have heard the call.
03:55The ladies of Paradise Lodge are in committee, Sissy.
03:58Fetch me again.
