00:00Lady Aylwood, would you consider entering into partnership with me?
00:06Partnership?
00:07I intend to semi-retire, and I thought that 40% ownership of the Lady Emily might appeal,
00:15with the backing of the Aylwood estate, of course.
00:17I'm afraid I don't have access to the Aylwood estate capital, Mr. Scarrisbrick, and neither does my husband.
00:24Everything is under the control of my mother-in-law, Lavinia.
00:28Ah, of course, dear, difficult Lavinia. I remember her from our dancing days.
00:34Nevertheless, I would like you to at least consider the offer.
00:39Perhaps you could put your wiles to work.
00:44Hey, look, you've got to calm down, all right?
00:47And you've got to sit down, and then we can work things out.
00:51Look, if there is one thing that we're really good at as a family, it is working our problem.
00:55I didn't do this as part of the family, Dad. I did it on my own.
00:59And you're funded?
01:00It was fantastic.
01:02While it lasted.
01:09Hey.
01:11This isn't your fault.
01:14Hey?
01:16How beautiful.
01:24Oh, Peril.
01:27Oh, I thought we had mice, which aren't unheard of, even in the best-managed mansion flats.
01:32I was feeling the heat.
01:33I think it's that continental quilt.
01:36I don't think they'll catch on over here.
01:38The winters aren't cold enough.
01:40I'll swap you with this candlewick tomorrow.
01:50Sister, if you don't want to take the diuretics anymore, I accept that.
01:58You're not going to dissuade me?
02:01No.
02:04I tried to.
02:06Out of love.
02:09As we discussed.
02:12And now I will stop.
02:14Out with respect.
02:23Good morning.
02:27Rosalind.
02:27I went on an early morning excursion to a number of news agents and bought bridal magazines in all of
02:34them.
02:34You've got no time to get anything made.
02:35There are superb ready-to-wear options these days, and every boutique worth knowing will be listed in the small
02:41ads.
02:41I've never even decided if I'm going to wear white.
02:43And the weather's going to be cold.
02:45It's a wedding dress.
02:46Why would you not want white?
02:48There are wonderful options in lace that would look divine with a long sleeve.
02:53Delicate, virginal, and no-one will see your goosebumps.
02:57I've just had two very interesting phone calls.
03:00First, St Cuspert's telling me that Mrs Rhoda Mollocks is pressing for an early discharge after a cholecystectomy.
03:07She's not going to be very well at all.
03:09Should I add her to the district nursing list?
03:11Thank you, Nurse Clifford.
03:12But then I had Mrs Mollocks ring to say that their elder daughter is expecting and in need of our
03:18attention.
03:19I'll put Mrs Turner on to this.
03:21She knows the family well.
03:24Nurse Crane, I'm afraid I'd need to speak to you about Sister Monica Joan.
03:31There isn't a GP on this earth that would force a determined woman of 90-odd to take medication if
03:37she doesn't want to.
03:39All it will do is make her more unhappy.
03:40She's almost cheery this morning.
03:43If anything, you'd think she was on the mend.
03:46Well, don't bother her with any urine or blood tests for now.
03:50The symptoms will speak for themselves.
03:53Thank you, Doctor.
03:55I'll keep you informed as things unfold.
04:00Dr Turner, I have just received the most infuriating communication from Central Supplies asking you for the return of every
04:07item of council-owned equipment in our possession.
04:10Now?
04:11Um, prior or immediately subsequent to the closure of your facility as appropriate.
04:17Well, the closure itself isn't appropriate.
04:20And every bed, kidney bowl and set of clamps is staying on these premises until the last mother and baby
04:27go out of those doors.
04:28You've included this entirely spurious list of items, headed assumed inventory.
04:34It will be consigned to the incinerator and I shall prepare an audit of our own.
04:38The incubator never belonged to Central Supplies.
04:41It was paid for by the people of Poplar because the council wouldn't provide the funds.
04:48They are not having it.
04:50And I'm still a GP.
04:52Send in my next patient.
04:57I don't think your dates are quite right, Belinda.
05:01You feel close to turn to me.
05:03Does that mean I'm going to have it soon?
05:04Very possibly.
05:06She was here all through the summer holidays and as Rhoda keeps telling me, there was nothing showing.
05:10Bernie, why don't you go to work and until Rhoda arrives in the ambulance,
05:15Belinda and I can work through some tests and I'll make inquiries about a home health.
05:20Mum will tell you she doesn't need one.
05:22And I'll tell her that without one she'll end up back in hospital.
05:26Don't worry.
05:27We'll soon get things organised for both of you.
05:31You are more than welcome.
05:33Mr Franklin will see you at four o'clock.
05:37Viola player with a wry neck and begging to be squeezed in.
05:41I have to say, I could fill your brother's diary twice over and there'd still be people weeping at the
05:46gates.
05:47I was thinking you might like to have a weekly clinic at the Lady Emily when I start as matron
05:52there.
05:52Have you told anyone at Ninata's house yet?
05:55That I'm moving.
05:57I'll speak to Sister Julia when she's back from the mother house.
06:00Are you afraid how she might react?
06:02I'm terrified.
06:03Not because she'll be angry, but because she'll be quite calm.
06:07Not because she'll be disappointed, but that she'll be accepting.
06:12But worst of all, I'm terrified she'll smile and wrap her arms around me and tell me it's all God's
06:20plan.
06:21What if it is God's plan?
06:24Then I resent it.
06:25But we've spent years and years and years trying to determine and do the best for the women of Poplar.
06:35But in the end it all counts for nothing.
06:38Because some great imaginary being decided otherwise.
06:43Well, just because God is invisible doesn't make him imaginary.
06:50Rhoda, I need to take your blood pressure.
06:53And then I want you upstairs and resting in bed.
06:56Just let us hear from the Thalidomide Society and the campaign.
07:00They need dealing with.
07:02And I need to talk to Belinda.
07:12I need to say what all mums say, don't I?
07:21I need to say you're not the first.
07:25And you won't be the last.
07:30It'll be all right, love.
07:33We've got through worse than this.
07:36I never got through worse than this.
07:43I wish to sit in the chair.
07:45And I find myself desirous of a pomegranate.
07:51That would be most unwise.
07:54Pomegranates are extremely high in potassium.
07:57Can I fetch you some other nice fruit from the market?
08:00I would like you to summon someone from this establishment.
08:07Albion and Sons is an undertaker's.
08:10And I will have a pomegranate.
08:15I'll never finish with God.
08:17And I'll never question him.
08:19It's only myself I'm confused about.
08:22And what I want.
08:24And whether it's right for me to want it.
08:28I know you want a child, Meryl.
08:30But is there more to it than that?
08:33I've wanted a child.
08:35So much.
08:37It filled my every aching moment.
08:41My every waking thought.
08:43But now...
08:46I've started my menopause.
08:51I've left it all too late.
08:59I loved Susan from the moment I saw her.
09:03So did I.
09:06But I was scared.
09:08About what you'd think.
09:11You and Perry.
09:13Because I knew your lives had changed.
09:16I knew...
09:17We were all headed somewhere.
09:21That wasn't normal.
09:22Susan was normal.
09:24To us.
09:25Sometimes I only remembered she was different when I saw other people's faces.
09:29She made us more of a gang, though, didn't she?
09:32Still does.
09:34Malick's is against the world.
09:37And you were never just Belinda after she came along.
09:41You were Susan's sister.
09:43I don't want you to think I'm not proud of that.
09:47But I had to look at everything that way.
09:50And everybody looked at me that way.
09:52When I went to university, I wasn't Susan's sister.
09:57And when I thought I was wanted, that I was special, I was just so thrilled.
10:05I did stupid, stupid things.
10:08If that's because of anything that I did, then I was stupid too.
10:18Dr Turner.
10:19Philip Perry, that son of yours is shaping up quite nicely.
10:24We'll make an obstetrician of him yet.
10:26I'm still hoping to make him a GP.
10:28Later this month.
10:29We're trying out some new diagnostic technology.
10:32I thought you might send some patients my way.
10:34Of course.
10:35In return for a preview.
10:37Were you taken by surprise when I requested your attendance?
10:41We genuinely look after the deceased, Sister Monica John.
10:44But it seems to me that caring for the dying matters just as much.
10:49I do not fear death.
10:53I am, however, beset by all manner of opinions.
10:56Opinions.
10:57About your funeral.
10:59There are rights and rituals that are prescribed.
11:02And I embrace them.
11:04But I find I cannot rest.
11:07Lest my farewell is not managed in the way it ought to be.
11:11If you explain to me why you think that is, I can help.
11:16By working out what you should do.
11:26By working out what you should do, Sister Monica John has asked for the wheelchair.
11:33Oh, blimey.
11:34Is it still in the shed?
11:39I've been using it to transport compost.
11:42I thought she'd approve of that.
11:50Nanata's house, midway speaking.
11:52Sis, it's me.
11:54Matthew's been trying to get hold of you.
11:56I'm on a house call, Geoffrey.
11:57What's the matter?
11:57It's your ma-in-law, the other lady, Aylward.
12:00Sis, she's had a massive heart attack.
12:03Matthew's already left for the airport.
12:05They quarreled so badly when she took over the company.
12:07He'll be desperate to see her.
12:08I'm afraid it's too late.
12:12Sometimes I think it's a market that has changed at least.
12:16The produce always marked the changing of the seasons, even during times of war.
12:22I remember some winters, there was nothing on these vegetables except turnips and dried peas.
12:30All right, Sister.
12:31Fancy a few bananas on the house.
12:35My eyes are dimmer than once they were.
12:40It is Mr. Morris, is it not?
12:44Who wants to know?
12:45The old Bill?
12:48The sisters brought all of our kids into the world, but you delivered the first one and the last.
12:56Which was a fortling breach.
12:59I recall that now.
13:01Well, Mildred said afterwards, don't you ever charge her for bananas again.
13:06How about a few chrysamps, Sister?
13:08Oh, thank you.
13:11I don't deserve such generosity.
13:15I'd let them be the judge of that.
13:24The flags beneath these wheels are worn quite smooth.
13:32One thinks about the feet that made them, sir.
13:36The brides.
13:39The mothers.
13:42The thousand infants brought to be baptized.
13:47The more on us.
13:52I see a few churches in my line of work.
13:56I always reckon this one is the best.
14:01Do you ever pray, Mr. Molox?
14:06I have felt the inclination once or twice.
14:15I will be buried at the mother house.
14:19But I want my requiem to take place here.
14:25I am not only leaving this earth, Mr. Molox.
14:29I am leaving Poplar.
14:31And it is my home.
14:38Has there ever been a greater indicator of a shotgun wedding status than a hastily buttercreamed vanilla sponge?
14:46Pick your nozzle.
14:48I'll do the small rosettes.
14:50You can do the large ones.
14:51I do so wish you were able to come.
14:53I always loved to party, almost more than anything.
14:58When I was a nun, I was always sat on the sidelines.
15:01Now I'm not a nun, however temporarily.
15:05I'm banished.
15:08I could give a good account of myself in the Foxtrot once upon a time.
15:12Oh, I adore a Foxtrot.
15:14I also know of a lovely lounge bar where they play all the right tunes and serve resplendent cocktails.
15:21I'll take you there if you like.
15:23I'd like to be anywhere where I'm not on the fringes.
15:29This campaign is making you ill.
15:31You've got to give it to Westbro.
15:32Where's that going to get anyone?
15:34Susan is never, ever going to be independent.
15:37I think about that every day.
15:38What good are you going to be if you rip your stitches out?
15:40Well, what are you doing about that?
15:41Do you want me to carry you up?
15:43Yes, so I can't hear them.
15:45I think they're doing quite well, don't you?
16:08For a moment, I thought you were Sister Maud.
16:13I think I've heard of Sister Maud.
16:16But she passed away long before my time.
16:20She was the infirmarian.
16:24And she loved her deathbed.
16:27More than any birthing chamber.
16:30The end of life was always more compelling to her than its commencement.
16:40Sometimes I saw her weep.
16:44She wept when she died.
16:47But religious are supposed to welcome the end when it is offered to us.
16:56I think it is offered to me now.
17:02No, Sister.
17:05You were the one who foretold it.
17:08What do you mean?
17:09At Christmas.
17:10When we saw another pass through the veil from this world to the next.
17:19I can't recall his name, but his eyes were bright.
17:26Like Robins.
17:29Mr. Fisher.
17:33He was met by all who loved him.
17:39And you said the sisters would come for me.
17:44When you die?
17:47I saw Sister Maud as clearly as I see you now.
17:56And I know it has begun.
18:05I'm not convinced it's imminent, but she's asked to see the priest.
18:10I will come back tomorrow.
18:11I was already preparing to leave as there have been discussions and a vote.
18:18And I have news to impart.
18:20Will you impart it when you get home?
18:22Yes.
18:24Please, just stay with our sister now.
18:27I won't leave her for a moment.
18:31Oh, come on, lass.
18:33We're in this together.
18:36There's going to be a wedding.
18:39That's life, though, isn't it?
18:42And I didn't dare tell Sister Julianne the other thing she asked for.
18:49So, a little word told us you fancy the gin and tonic.
18:53You'd better drink it because we had to go to the off-license specialty.
18:57I have heard the beverage mentioned so often in my lifetime.
19:02And always in such a proving term, you see.
19:07I thought it a shame I was so ignorant.
19:11Well, we all feel keeping your liquids off.
19:14Go on.
19:25I declare myself enamored.
19:38I think the choice of soft drinks is very sensible the night before a wedding.
19:44I'm looking forward to the trifle.
19:47I love trifle.
19:48Phyllis had to put it back in the fridge.
19:50The custard hadn't set yet.
19:51Mmm.
19:52Are you serving the bride breakfast in bed in the morning, Millicent?
19:54I most certainly am.
19:57I've also thought of an additional embellishment.
20:04Welcome back, sister!
20:24I couldn't get to sleep last night.
20:26All I wanted was for it to be the morning.
20:28Honey, you forgot your shoes and your hair dryer.
20:31Hi, Bradbury.
20:35Let me put some peppermints on the tray.
20:48Salt fish, ackee and fried dumpling.
20:52You need a proper breakfast inside you today of all days.
20:56Thank you for being my witness, Mrs. Wallace.
20:59I am not your witness.
21:01God is your witness.
21:03Even if the wedding is in a registry office.
21:07Is that shirt ready, Mrs. Buckle?
21:10Well, I'm not satisfied with the right handcuff.
21:13Oh, by the way, Cyril,
21:14Fred wondered which firm you booked your taxis with.
21:18Muzzy's Mortars.
21:19Hmm.
21:20Just in case there's any problems.
21:25Thank you for your patience, ladies.
21:27May I present the bride.
21:35Pinard to the ready!
22:01Father Hillary is hearing her confession.
22:11Will you please repeat after me?
22:14I do solemnly declare
22:15that I know not
22:17of any lawful impediment
22:19why I, Rosalind Anne Clifford.
22:23I do solemnly declare
22:25that I know not
22:26of any lawful impediment
22:28why I...
22:32Rosalind Anne Clifford.
22:37Rosalind Anne Clifford.
22:39May not be joined in matrimony
22:41to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
22:45May not be joined in matrimony
22:47to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
22:56Through this holy anointing,
22:58may the Lord, in his love and mercy,
23:00help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
23:03May the Lord,
23:04who frees you from sin,
23:06save you
23:10and raise you up.
23:11Amen.
23:16I marry you with this ring
23:19because you are more precious to me
23:21than all the gold
23:23the world contains.
23:27And I marry you with this ring
23:30because a circle is eternal
23:32and our love will never end.
23:40Receive, sister,
23:42this food for thy journey,
23:43the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
23:47May he preserve thee
23:48from the malicious enemy
23:49and bring thee to everlasting life.
23:53Amen.
23:54Amen.
23:55Amen.
23:56Amen.
23:57Amen.
24:02Amen.
24:34It is quite wonderfully made.
24:38When I made my vows to Christ,
24:41we were told,
24:43a single lily must suffice.
24:47I should have liked that better.
24:51You are radiant.
24:53Even among brides.
24:57It is the child within you, I think,
25:01a pearl.
25:04Like the pearl you wear on your finger.
25:08Who told you about the child?
25:10It is supposed to be a secret.
25:13Perhaps,
25:14as the body fades,
25:17the senses grow sharper.
25:21I have a gift for your infant.
25:24You must not leave without it.
25:27The teddy bear?
25:36Oh.
25:39Is this to Monica Joan?
25:41Your child is a child of this century.
25:45It has both your features in its face.
25:50And I delight in it.
25:57What the shoes are tied to the taxi?
25:59The trouble is,
26:00there is no taxi.
26:01I booked it in advance,
26:02and there's no sign of it.
26:20What's this, Fred?
26:22We thought you should have something special.
26:45Hello, love.
26:47This is Mrs Mullock's.
26:48Could you get your mum
26:49and tell her it's about Belinda?
26:57Her hands started to go cold.
27:05I'll call Dr. Turner.
27:07He has to be kept informed.
27:15Dad.
27:18I keep thinking about Susan
27:21and her legs and her arms.
27:24I mean, the artificial ones.
27:27They just don't work.
27:30She has to be pushed and parked,
27:33like luggage or something.
27:35There's no alternative, Perry.
27:36We had a talk in college today
27:38about electric wheelchairs.
27:41Electric, like you plug it in?
27:43No.
27:44They have a built-in 100-watt motor
27:47and rear-wheel drive.
27:49Why don't you tell the society?
27:51Maybe they can fix it for Susan to try one.
27:55Do you reckon she could
27:56steer an electric one herself?
27:58We'd have to give it a go.
28:00Dad.
28:01She needs us to chase everything that's new.
28:06Good girl, Belinda.
28:08Good girl.
28:09This one will soon be over.
28:12They just keep coming, though.
28:14That's the note to a childbirth, love.
28:18Shall I pop and get you some more painkillers?
28:21In a minute, maybe.
28:23It feels so strange with all those empty beds.
28:27You're our only patient, Belinda.
28:30And the delivery room's all set up
28:32for when you're ready to move through.
28:33Mrs Turner was saying
28:35this might be the last baby ever born here.
28:38You're lucky to get in before it closes down.
28:42Oh.
28:43Oh.
28:44Oh.
28:59Mmm.
29:28We need you to listen to our presentation
29:29Fly me to the moon.
29:34Fly me to the moon.
29:35Let me play among the stars.
29:39Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
29:46In other words, hold my hand.
29:54In other words, baby, kiss me.
30:00You look simply ravishing.
30:04And rather appropriately.
30:06This cocktail comprising gin, lemon juice and creme de peche
30:10is known as Perfect Lady.
30:16Oh, I might yet find out what a hangover is like.
30:24Philip.
30:29How lovely to see you, Geoffrey.
30:32Is Alistair with you?
30:33Oh, propping up the bar as usual.
30:35Flatly refuses to join me on the dance floor.
30:37I do so envy you, your delightful partner.
30:41Oh, this is my darling friend, Beryl.
30:44Beryl, may I present Philip Parry.
30:46How lovely to meet you.
30:49Enchanté.
31:03Fresh hot water bottle.
31:05I think I saw a shiver.
31:08You're done in, lass.
31:10I'll fetch you if things change.
31:12You go to bed.
31:14Leave the night shift to me.
31:19Oh, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
31:28What's still got memory to cherish?
31:34Oh, please.
31:36What, please?
31:37Can't you just pull it out?
31:38It's just she seems to go limp every time she has a pain.
31:42You've got to push, love.
31:44Push.
31:45Good to see.
31:46Good to see.
32:06That's it, Belinda.
32:08Push into your bottom again like you did last time.
32:11I think they're on the bed's out.
32:13Good girl, Belinda.
32:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
32:25Have things changed?
32:26They're starting to.
32:28You get dressed and I'll tell Sister Julianne.
32:38I might have known you'd put in an appearance this to Evangeline.
32:43Some of us know when a job needs finishing.
32:47You meanwhile have shilly-shallied long enough.
32:51Even the Almighty's patience has worn thin.
32:55What's it like?
32:59Where I will go, it's everything we were promised, and all that you have worked for.
33:14Come on you.
33:15I can't let you go, I can't let you go.
33:25I can't let you go.
33:26I can't let you go.
33:43And you have a daughter.
33:46Bang on, twenty past three.
33:48And you've put me out of a job, Belinda.
33:51Well done.
33:53Oh, look at her.
33:55Oh, look at her little hands.
34:00Oh, look at her little toes.
34:06Would you like to do something very special, Rhoda, and cut the cord?
34:20Oh, God.
34:22Oh.
34:24Oh, God.
34:27Oh, God.
34:37Oh, God.
35:00There is no pulse.
35:04Oh, lass.
35:16I want to say, how can a heart like her stop beating?
35:23How can a life like hers come to an end?
35:30She'd be up in the window to let her soul out.
35:35When Sister Julian gets here, there's no hurry.
35:42Would you like me to pray with you until she comes?
35:56Rest eternal, grant unto her, O Lord.
35:59May her soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest at peace.
36:07Amen.
36:09Amen.
36:18She really has laid down everything she wanted.
36:22And in considerable detail.
36:24Even that she wants to be wheeled to the church on a costumunger's cart.
36:29A proper poplar funeral.
36:32We will do everything she asks.
36:35Meanwhile, Mr. Mollocks, I believe you became a grandfather last night.
36:40I did.
36:41I did.
36:43Don't go.
36:49I'll have to sign the certificate, but you can do the checks.
36:57Torch and stethoscope.
36:59That's all you need.
37:04Heartbeat first?
37:06Just as if she was still with us.
37:19I feel as though I should be talking to her.
37:23I always think that.
37:28It's okay, sister.
37:32You're in good hands.
37:45Geoffrey.
37:47It's time for me to go.
37:50Where?
37:51Back to the order.
37:53I was always going to have to choose.
37:55And you don't want to choose this?
37:58I left because I wanted a child.
38:03This isn't a life that could give me that.
38:06I could find you someone who can.
38:08There are hordes of suitable men out there.
38:10They come charging down the thoroughfares of London like the Hun.
38:13And I'm a dab hand with a shark net.
38:16And with a poison dart and a blowpipe.
38:19Geoffrey, this isn't to do with you.
38:22You know, I've been beaten by my own biology.
38:27And I belong in the order.
38:30I earn that life.
38:33If I go back, I can hold babies every day.
38:40Love them every day.
38:43And that won't hurt you?
38:47Not now.
38:49Because I know the things I dreamed of weren't meant for me.
39:05What does a poor bear do?
39:08Well, he's one of the people who helped to carry the coffin into the church.
39:14It's considered to be an honour, especially if the person that died asked for you.
39:20Who else did she ask?
39:23Fred, of course.
39:25And Dr. Turner and Timothy and Cyril and Geoffrey.
39:30And she put Miss Higgins Harry down as a reserve.
39:34All the proper men.
39:37Yes.
39:38Because you're a proper man, too.
39:47Beryl, you know, I'll walk you all the way to the front door if you want me to.
39:52No.
39:53You'd best not.
39:55I need to say goodbye to Beryl, too.
39:59Maybe it's best if I leave her here.
40:02With me.
40:04She'll always be with you.
40:06And whenever there's chutney to be made, costumes cobbled together, or happy family times to be had again in the
40:17convent parlour,
40:20Sister Veronica will always be so pleased to see you.
40:24And there will be happy family times, won't there?
40:27Yes.
40:30Don't disappear.
40:47I'm not scared of new beginnings, Sister.
40:50I've seen too many babies being born.
40:53And you will wait until we know exactly where we're going?
40:56We had a long conversation about waiting once.
41:00In the wreckage of a train.
41:04Waiting is what we do.
41:06Yes.
41:08We'll do this together.
41:13And with that, I suppose I ought to pray.
41:17I have always left that to the experts.
41:24Do you have a moment, Nurse Green?
41:27I'm having to start the paperwork to transfer all of our expectant mother's notes.
41:33It's a pleasure to postpone it.
41:36I applied for an acting sister's job at St. Cuthbert's.
41:39And they've asked me to go for an interview.
41:41Oh, lass.
41:42Well done.
41:45But it's on the day of the funeral.
41:48Oh.
41:55If you do the interview at the appointed time, you should get to the church before the end.
42:01But you don't think that would be disrespectful?
42:06The reverse.
42:09We are burying a woman whose whole life was defined by her profession.
42:15She's probably up there now putting a word in for you.
42:24We are all facing loss.
42:26And we are facing change.
42:29The death of our sister and the alteration of our practice are not linked.
42:34But the sadness feels the same because it is time itself that has brought both these things about.
42:41I notice you say alteration, Sister Julienne, and not closure.
42:48Sister Veronica, Sister Catherine and I have decided that Ninata's house will become a house of prayer and of charity.
42:57Whilst we discern our next steps.
43:00Can you say what sort of steps you might be considering?
43:03As we've already discussed with Dr. Turner, there are three potential new medical missions.
43:10All of which would involve at least a year abroad.
43:14One of them would be in the Gilbert and Ellis Islands.
43:17One of them would be in British Columbia.
43:19And one would be in a remote part of Australia.
43:23We ask for your prayers and your patience.
43:29And that as many of you as are able stay with us on this journey.
43:36All will be well.
43:39I promise you.
43:42Before the cortege moves on to the church, Sister Julienne will read a short verse.
43:48At the request of the lady, we are honouring today.
43:56The poem is called The Old Astronomer Talks to His Pupil.
44:03Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light.
44:12I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
44:30Thank you, gentlemen.
44:32Thank you, gentlemen.
44:46Nurse Highland, Sister Marcus has provided glowing references for your recent spell on our wards.
44:53But you also have excellent testimonials from your district work.
44:59Why do you want to return to a hospital environment?
45:02That's not an easy question to answer, Matron.
45:06Because it presupposes that my own enjoyment is the thing that matters.
45:11What matters most is the patient, the person who needs my care.
45:15Indeed.
45:16And I feel that going forward, I can give the best of myself to them.
45:20In a place that is controlled and orderly and concerned with delivering excellence.
45:25And you don't feel that you can do that on the district?
45:28Things will improve, I'm sure.
45:29But not at the present time.
45:35Step.
45:38Step.
45:40Step.
45:42Step.
45:44Step.
45:46Step.
45:46Thank you, gentlemen.
45:48Do you see the body of our sister Monica Joan with confidence in God who raised the Lord Jesus from
45:53the dead?
46:14the Lord Jesus from the dead?
46:52CHOIR SINGS
46:54Having brought so many new lives into the world,
46:59Sister Monica Joan has gone on to a new, eternal existence of her own.
47:07Words about her time on earth seem so redundant and so small.
47:15Will we ever see her like again?
47:18I cannot say.
47:21But I can say this.
47:24She was unique.
47:27And yet what we feel as we let her go is universal.
47:36Because we have lost her.
47:40We have lost her.
47:44And today as we gather round the emptiness that she has left behind,
47:51that space becomes not a void,
47:55but a vessel filled with love
48:00for her and from her,
48:04from ourselves and for each other.
48:08We may not know what the future holds,
48:12but we can all say our lives contained her.
48:18And that binds us for eternity.
48:35CHOIR SINGS
48:36CHOIR SINGS
48:36CHOIR SINGS
49:00ORCHESTRA PLAYS
49:31I've been trying Victoria out since this morning.
49:36Oh, I like it.
49:38Yeah.
49:47Perfect.
49:53Rob, epitome of authority and poise.
49:56Do turn around so I can see the back.
49:59You don't need to see the back, Mr. Scarisbrick.
50:02Because the back has nothing at all to do with what I'm about to tell you.
50:05Well, I'm not expecting any discussion of my offer, given your unfortunate family situation.
50:10My unfortunate family situation actually has had unexpected repercussions.
50:15My husband now controls Aylward Estates, and I've been given a seat on the board.
50:20So you're interested in buying a share of the clinic?
50:24I'm not interested in 40%.
50:2655 would be better.
50:28That way there's no confusion.
50:30We all know who's in charge.
50:45Is that Nurse Rosalyn Robinson?
50:47Of course she is looking at Sister Joyce Highland.
50:50You got the chance!
50:58Ah, there she is.
51:00You all ready for the big event?
51:01I have an uncomfortably full bladder.
51:05But I believe you're all going to see something quite amazing.
51:08It is quite space age.
51:17I'm sorry they won't let you in.
51:22Now, what you are about to witness is a live examination of the gravid uterus using a method known as
51:29B-Mode ultrasonography.
51:31The transducer emits pulses of sound into the maternal abdomen, and the returning echoes are converted into an image in
51:41real time.
51:43No radiation, no needles, and no discomfort.
51:47Are you ready, Mother?
51:49Yes, Mr. Perry.
52:13I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party is a delightful way to conclude the old era.
52:22Dr. Turner is greatly relieved that you're staying on as his district nurse.
52:27I think he was afraid that you might retire.
52:30Well, I'm already eligible for my pension, so I could.
52:33But why would I want to?
52:35I love my work.
52:37To give it up would be like resigning from myself.
52:40Likewise.
52:42Look, I suppose one day even dear Dr. Turner won't need us anymore.
52:49But when that comes to pass, I'm inclined to think you and I might have some new adventures.
52:56Dare I ask what you have in mind?
53:00I thought we could set up a detective agency.
53:05I could investigate people via public records, and you could use your advanced motorists' credentials to trail them.
53:17Or even give chase.
53:20I think we should play on our spinsterly status, perhaps.
53:33The Miss Adventures Agency?
53:37Miss Alliance?
53:38Yeah.
53:39Misdemeanours?
53:42I've seen cards in phone boxes from someone called Misdemeanours.
53:47Also, yeah.
53:47Sorry, you're really out!
53:50I'm sorry!
53:51This was just false.
53:53Well, I think how soon we run out of time
54:00Looking back at what I've done in my time
54:07My accomplishments are few
54:12But for my days of loving you
54:19If I've never gone too far in this world
54:26When I might have made my mark in this world
54:33I had better things to do
54:38I had my days of loving you
54:45Let the others go their way
54:52Seeking more and more
54:58Give me just one yesterday
55:05Filled with love like yours
55:11I have nothing to regret in this life
55:18I've had all worries to get in this life
55:25Once I lived a dream come true
55:31I had my days of loving you
55:38I had my days of loving you
55:40I had my days of loving you
55:40I had my days of loving you
