04:28not in her condition sister agatha who runs a good refuge and is an old friend agreed to take her
04:35in
04:36and precious little thanks she gets for her trouble how old is rosie
04:42six weeks so was her brother jack oh twins how wonderful the most beautiful creatures i'd ever
04:51seen but sister agatha took them away from me after only a day gosh it gets worse they're both going
05:00to be given away adopted like all the babies there it's for their own good moira and you knew very
05:07well that's what would happen yes but i didn't think it was going to hurt as much i telephoned auntie
05:13bridget and told her that my heart was breaking and of course i was extremely worried and came as soon
05:18as
05:18i possibly could so why did you not wait why on earth did you run away i was scared that
05:27they'd be
05:27adopted before you got here where is rosie's brother last night i'd taken rosie and i was about to get
05:35jack but nurse hyde she caught me i didn't have time i just i ran that must have been very
05:42painful
05:45and now auntie's here and she can tell sister agatha to let me have jack back as well
05:51no moira i can't do that why we've been through all this the children must come first no and in
06:01the
06:01meantime sister agatha and nurse hyde will be worried sick about the pair of you nurse hyde is cruel
06:07she leaves babies in freezing rooms oh now you're being hysterical moira did you give consent for
06:14your children's adoption no i would never do that well in that case i will speak with sister agatha
06:21and nurse hyde meanwhile you are welcome to stay here with rosie until this is resolved
06:28thank you perhaps you will come with us on our visit mrs mccarthy i most certainly will
06:53this place has seen better days these girls hardly deserve a palace mrs sullivan
07:08sister agatha i can only apologize i'm just relieved rosie is safe mrs mccarthy father
07:15nurse hyde's office is just up here
07:24tell me sister agatha how long have you been in charge of the good refuge
07:2920 years although i'm no medical expert i mostly defer to nurse hyde
07:34this building looks very historical shifting foundations i'm afraid the whole thing is rather
07:42unstable in fact really unfortunately we've raised money for the repairs work begins next week
07:52moira fitzpatrick has shown scant regard for the well-being of her children or the will of god
07:58and yet here you are father harboring her and making her case
08:03i understand babies born here are typically offered for adoption
08:07children born out of wedlock should be brought up within a loving christian marriage
08:14yes absolutely of course by law mothers must consent to these adoptions
08:22rest assured the process is entirely above board
08:26sister agatha yes of course
08:38she signed the form
08:47as this is our first visit to the good refuge
08:51i wonder if you'd be good enough to show us around
08:54of course i'll make sure the girls are presentable
09:02my husband died in the war my condolences our daughter was born three months later
09:08i assume from her uniform she attends st jacob's college
09:12most prestigious establishment as i always tell my girls
09:16a mother must make great sacrifices to give her child the best starting life
09:23all that exertion can't be healthy for mother war baby
09:27they don't get paid either
09:29yes well i'm sure nurse height knows best
09:47i hope i can count on you to do the right thing with miss fitzpatrick father
09:51you certainly can nurse height
09:54i need to see my daughter
09:56as i've made it perfectly clear men are forbidden from entering the good refuge
10:00clergyman accepted
10:02this is from her doctor
10:05confirming that without this medication for her hypertension
10:08she's in danger
10:10those pills could harm the baby
10:12says who
10:13good day mr james
10:15father
10:17what is your daughter's name mr james
10:20clarice
10:22sister agatha telephoned a week ago to tell me she'd admit it herself
10:27i couldn't believe it
10:28was clarice living locally
10:31training to be a nurse and siren sister
10:33with her whole future ahead of her
10:36i've been here for the past three days
10:38at the guest house right across the road but i still haven't been able to speak to her
10:42oh well i just saw your daughter
10:45did you
10:46yeah she was working in the laundry she gave me this for her friend
10:52moira jack will be adopted tomorrow
10:55clarice
10:56i don't know this moira but i know all about these adoptions
11:00oh clarice
11:03i will pray for your daughter mr james
11:06that she should choose to come here
11:08of all places
11:15that wasn't me
11:17i never signed any form in that place
11:20you're surely not suggesting nurse height forged your signature
11:24you have to believe me father
11:29um this is for you it's it's from clarice
11:33really
11:34she was very brave
11:37clarice is so kind to me
11:39she knitted bonnets for rosie and jack
11:47tomorrow
11:48no
11:50i'm never gonna see him again
11:53i will return
11:55first thing tomorrow
11:56and i will urge nurse height to refrain from having jack adopted
12:02at least for the moment
12:04shouldn't we do what's best for the child
12:06i quite agree
12:08mrs mccarthy
12:19father brown
12:21i need to talk to nurse height
12:23we're expecting an adopting couple at any moment
12:26which makes my request all the more urgent
12:31nurse height
12:41a lifetime spent delivering babies
12:43extinguished by saint philomena
12:46the patron saint of infants
12:48as far as the homily on irony father
12:52seems the victim
12:54was planning a more conventional departure
13:00saint jacobs
13:01it's a considerable expense for a nurse
13:05even with a war widow's pension
13:10footprints
13:13yes
13:14thank you father
13:18is that a five pound note
13:27money
13:28though none on her person
13:35inspector
13:35a side door's been forced open
13:37someone broke in last night
13:40more evidence of a robbery gone very badly wrong
13:44inspector perhaps we should pay a visit to the nursery
13:49and a very good reason for bringing us here father
13:56we don't use that room father
14:02where is moira's boy
14:04moira
14:04well that girl from yesterday
14:15heavens above
14:17is this door kept locked

14:23where's moira now father
14:26she spent the night at the presbytery
14:28right
14:29silence
14:36sister agatha called me
14:38a tragic development
14:39certainly is canon
14:40i trust it will be resolved swiftly
14:43and with a minimum
14:44we're on our way to upper end of suspect right now
14:46colonel
14:47that is most encouraging
14:48oh and for your sake
14:50perhaps father brown could keep his nose out of it for once
14:53i couldn't agree more
14:55i couldn't agree more
14:56father glenn
14:56colonel fox
14:59sister agatha will be reassured you're here so promptly
15:02a tragedy in a diocesan house of god is most unwelcome news father
15:07indeed
15:07especially with the appointment of a new bishop so imminent
15:11stick to your job father
15:13and let the inspector do his
15:23she's gone
15:26ah
15:26the inspector thinks moira took jack away in the night
15:30so do i mrs mccarthy

17:02no
17:03no
17:16Will you go to her, Father?
17:18I will.
17:22Tell me about last night.
17:24I got to the good refuge past midnight
17:27and I was going to throw pebbles at Clarice's window
17:29and then I saw the back door was open
17:31so I walked in and I went to get Jack.
17:35How did you get into the nursery?
17:37The door was unlocked.
17:38It was like an angel was watching over me.
17:42Yes. And then?
17:43So I walked in, I took Jack and put a doll in his cot.
17:49As I walked past Nurse Hyde's office I heard voices.
17:53Nurse Hyde and a man.
17:55Did you recognise his voice?
18:02I didn't kill her, Father.
18:05No. Of course you didn't.
18:08I believe you, Moira.
18:12I'm not sure Auntie Bridget does.
18:15Well, your great-aunt has some very strong opinions
18:19around the subject of motherhood.
18:21But she doesn't think you're a murderer.
18:24Are you sure?
18:26Yes.
18:28I will do my utmost to see you reunited with your children.
18:40Oh, Mrs. McAfee.
18:42Oh, thank goodness.
18:45I'm out of practice.
18:47Have I been fed?
18:48Maybe 20 minutes ago.
18:50And changed?
18:51Mm-hm.
18:53Oh, well.
18:54Probably just tired.
18:57What do you need now is a nice, long nap.
19:05Isn't that right?
19:06You're a natural, Mrs. McAfee.
19:09Yes, well, I've had plenty of practice was
19:11with nephews and nieces and various gotchildren.
19:15Do you really think Moira's babies should be adopted, Mrs. McAfee?
19:19Yes, I do.
19:20She'll be sparing them a lifetime of shame.
19:24But surely children should be with their mother.
19:27And have people pointing fingers
19:29and whispering behind their back.
19:31Oh, my God.
19:39So much more.
19:39Moira doesn't know the way of the world as I do.
19:43If there's one thing I know, she's no murderer.
19:47Yeah.
19:48There you go.
19:49Nice, nice.
19:55What terrible news.
19:58That poor woman.
20:00A male voice was heard last night
20:02arguing with Nurse Hyde
20:04and a bottle of pills
20:06was found near her body.
20:08Rezepine.
20:10Medication for hypertension.
20:13Will the police find your fingerprints on that bottle, Mr. James?
20:19I had to get those pills to Clarice,
20:21so I forced the back door.
20:24But Nurse Hyde heard me.
20:26She went to her office to call the police.
20:28She said she was the medical professional
20:30and I was a criminal.
20:32Oh, dear.
20:34What did you do then?
20:36I put the pills on her desk and I left.
20:41You seemed shocked that Clarice had chosen a good refuge.
20:46Her mother, my late wife,
20:50was adopted from birth
20:51and strongly opposed the forced adoption.
20:55Also, a good friend of Clarice's
20:58ended up in one of those refuges.
21:00She said it was barbaric,
21:03so yes, I was very surprised.
21:07Clarice has got to leave that terrible place.
21:19Oh.
21:20Oh.
21:24Oh.
21:25What part they are just, Miss Palmer?
21:27I wanted to lift Moira's spirits
21:29until Father Brown clears her.
21:31Pray to heaven he can.
21:32He's hopefully spoken to Clarice's father by now.
21:36You seem to quite enjoy
21:38the sleuthing side of things, Mrs. Sullivan.
21:40Gosh, yes, I find it all terribly thrilling.
21:44Although the St. Mary's accounts
21:46aren't quite as neat these days.
21:48Oh, I definitely preferred filling in ledgers
21:50to sneaking around.
21:53Of course.
21:54I always had a wonderful time
21:56working for the father.
21:58I honestly think it's the best job in the world.
22:02So, uh, are you really selling this house?
22:05Yes, I am.
22:07Only after all this is over, might.
22:10Father, how is she?
22:14Scared.
22:16And missing her children terribly.
22:18You believe she's innocent, don't you?
22:21I'm convinced of it.
22:22As am I.
22:24Any progress at all?
22:25Well, we can't discount Mr. James.
22:27By his own admission,
22:28he broke into the good refuge last night.
22:30He seems like a really nice man.
22:33And certainly a doting parent.
22:37May I?
22:45Ah.
22:46What is it?
22:46Possible solution to a conundrum.
22:50I need to return to the good refuge.
22:53Well, in that case,
22:54I am going with you.
23:08There are many things I miss about my old job, father,
23:11but trespassing is not one of them.
23:15And now we wait a few moments.
23:19Nurse Hyde was clearly a stickler for organisation.
23:23Everything just so.
23:26Wait a minute.
23:28What's this W doing mixed up with all the B's?
23:33Alice, right.
23:38Empty.
23:40Well spotted, Mrs. McCarthy.
23:43Father.
23:47Excellent.
23:48What is?
23:49Well, as predicted,
23:50this footprint contains washing detergent.
23:53And I believe I know who left it.
23:59Father Brown.
24:01Medication finally delivered, I see.
24:03Yes.
24:03And I've also convinced Clarice I'm not angry with her.
24:06I'm going to go home with me dad tonight.
24:09Happy.
24:09I'll come then.
24:11Clarice,
24:12might I have a word?
24:14In private.
24:19Your father is surprised that you chose to come to the Good Refuge.
24:23Given your late mother's opinions on adoptions.
24:27I was scared how would you act to this.
24:29I didn't know where else to go.
24:34What are you doing?
24:38I think the inspector will find that your shoe
24:41exactly fits the footprints found near Nurse Hyde's body.
24:46And Nurse Hyde forbade girls from her office.
24:48She always kept the door locked.
24:50Unless you stole the keys
24:52and used them to let Moira into the nursery.
25:01Moira needed money to run away.
25:04I knew I'd find it in Nurse Hyde's office
25:06and I was right.
25:06A cupboard was full of it.
25:08From the laundry business?
25:10No.
25:12From Nurse Hyde's other business.
25:14What other business?
25:16Last week,
25:18I saw a couple here to adopt,
25:19hand money over to Nurse Hyde.
25:22Paid adoptions?
25:23Oh, surely not.
25:25It's true.
25:26Along with the money,
25:28I found this book of receipts.
25:34Nurse Hyde walked in
25:36and snatched the money out of my hands
25:38and threatened to call the police.
25:39And I said if she did,
25:40I'd show them this book of receipts
25:41and she let me go.
25:43If you didn't take the money,
25:45why was it gone when the body was found?
25:47Was it?
25:49May I borrow this?
25:52It could help secure Moira's release.
26:04Don't worry, I'm not getting broody.
26:07Are you sure?
26:08It's a shame we won't experience this, though.
26:11Maybe Ellie will give you a grandchild one day.
26:14Wouldn't that be lovely?
26:18Yeah, so, um,
26:19we should talk about, uh,
26:22my furniture,
26:23where it's going to go.
26:25Yes.
26:27I really do think I'd feel more comfortable
26:29in that house, Isabel.
26:31Fewer ghosts,
26:33as it were.
26:34I understand,
26:36but it's a step for me, too, obviously,
26:39moving some of my furniture out.
26:41It's a step for me, too.
26:42Yes.
26:43Yes.
26:44Of course.
26:51Forgotten how lovely Mrs. McCarthy's house is?
26:57Are you really going to trust
26:58a wayward girl like that
27:00who drinks gin
27:01while she's pregnant?
27:03Drinking alcohol may be irresponsible,
27:06but these receipts prove
27:07that Nurse Hyde was indeed
27:08selling babies.
27:10Selling babies?
27:12Oh, my heavens!
27:13How on earth could she be?
27:18Father, what is it?
27:22Oh, yes.
27:30I don't understand.
27:32How would Dorothy do such a thing?
27:36Your handwriting
27:38is very distinctive tease,
27:40Sister Agatha.
27:42Almost like miniature anchors.
27:45Oddly similar to those
27:47in Moira's signature.
27:49And identical
27:50to the ones in that book.
27:54Please tell me
27:55you weren't involved
27:56in any of this.
27:59It was Dorothy's idea.
28:03She said it was the only way
28:04to fund the renovations
28:06to keep our ladies'
28:07good refuge open.
28:08And you traded children
28:10to pay for building work?
28:12This place
28:13has been my life,
28:15Mrs. McCarthy.
28:16I couldn't bear
28:17to see it close.
28:18But you surprised
28:19Nurse Hyde
28:20preparing to abscond
28:21with the renovation money.
28:24Presumably to pay
28:25for her daughter's education.
28:29I cannot imagine
28:31how angry
28:32you must have been.
28:34I was angry,
28:35but I couldn't ever
28:36hurt Dorothy.
28:38Even if I'd wanted to.
29:03I just knew
29:05I had to hide
29:06my part
29:06in this awful business,
29:08but I couldn't find
29:09that receipt book.
29:09Are you no shame?
29:13As good as my witness,
29:15I did not kill her.
29:18Father?
29:33This isn't at all
29:34the place
29:35I thought it was.
29:36I should never
29:37have sent Maura here.
29:39You weren't to know
29:41Mrs. McCarthy?
29:42Just the same.
29:43It's my fault.
29:50Miss Palmer
29:51brought them over.
29:53She's waiting outside.
29:56She says
29:57Jack and Rosie
29:58are doing well.
30:01Please say thank you
30:02to her and Mrs. Sullivan,
30:03Father.
30:04I will.
30:07Moira,
30:08I am doing
30:08all I can
30:10to end this
30:10separation
30:11from your children.
30:14I'm glad you came,
30:15Auntie.
30:17And I'm glad
30:18Inspector Sullivan
30:19let me see you.
30:23I owe you
30:24an apology.
30:26For what?
30:27For doubting you.
30:29For not believing
30:30what you told me
30:31about the good refuge.
30:33For sending you there
30:34in the first place.
30:37Does this mean
30:38that I get to keep
30:39Rosie and Jack?
30:40Oh, Moira.
30:42The world
30:43can be a very
30:44cruel place.
30:46Those children
30:46have to be
30:47protected.
30:48And so do you.
30:50Moira,
30:51did you ever meet
30:52a good refuge
30:53resident
30:54by the name
30:54of Alice Wright?
30:56Alice?
30:57Yes.
30:59She had a boy.
31:01Rowan.
31:03The poor thing
31:04was born
31:04with a club foot.
31:06They put him
31:07in the cold room
31:08next to the nursery.
31:10Alice was so upset.
31:12What happened
31:13to Rowan?
31:15He was adopted.
31:17It broke Alice's heart.
31:20She sat out
31:21on a bench
31:21in the garden
31:22all day.
31:24And then
31:25one morning
31:27she was gone.
31:30Sister Agatha
31:31said she was taken
31:32on as a domestic
31:32in Eastbourne.
31:38I have no idea
31:39why you brought us
31:40here, Father.
31:42Trying to find
31:42inspiration.
31:44Why did Alice Wright
31:46come and sit here?
31:49a mountain ash
31:50according to me
31:51gardening book
31:52also known
31:53as a rowan tree.
31:56So it is.
31:58A horticulturist
32:00as well as an artist,
32:01Miss Palmer.
32:03R.W.
32:04We've got now.
32:05Mum.
32:07Dedication from Alice
32:08to her late son.
32:10So she died
32:11before my...
32:23Oh, heavens.
32:26That's why
32:27she's here.
32:29Miss Palmer,
32:30please fetch
32:31Inspector Sullivan.
32:33We need to find
32:34Sister Agatha
32:36before it's too late.
32:37Yes, Father.
32:41Wash me yet more
32:43from my iniquity
32:44and cleanse me
32:45from my sin.
32:47Amen.
32:55You killed him.
33:01You and Nurse Hyde
33:03were working together
33:04and you helped her
33:07murder
33:07that poor baby.
33:09Who?
33:10Rowan Wright.
33:11Stay back!
33:19You knitted this
33:20for Rowan,
33:21didn't you, Clarice?
33:22Because Alice
33:23was your friend.
33:25Where did you find that?
33:28Alice buried it
33:30in remembrance
33:31of Rowan.
33:35You're not really
33:36pregnant, are you?
33:37You came here
33:38to find out
33:39what happened to her
33:40and to her baby.
33:47Alice wrote to me.
33:51She said
33:52Nurse Hyde
33:53had locked Rowan
33:54in the cold room
33:56because he was
33:58different
34:00and she was
34:01terrified
34:02for him.
34:05and then
34:06the letters
34:07just stopped
34:08and I knew
34:09something terrible
34:10had happened.
34:11So you admitted
34:12yourself
34:13to the good refuge
34:15and waited
34:16to examine
34:17Nurse Hyde's
34:18records.
34:19I didn't want
34:19money.
34:20I just wanted
34:21to know
34:22the truth.
34:42what on earth
34:43are you doing?
34:45You let
34:46Rowan Wright
34:46freeze to death.
34:50With his
34:50affliction
34:51that child
34:51would have
34:52had no
34:52sort of a
34:53life.
34:53It was an
34:54act of
34:55kindness.
34:56Liar
34:56you just
34:56couldn't
34:56sell him
34:57could you?
34:58His mother
34:59would have
35:00loved Rowan
35:01forever
35:01with all
35:02her heart.
35:05What did
35:06you do
35:06with her?
35:06Where is
35:07Alice?
35:08In
35:08hell
35:09where she
35:09deserves
35:10to be.
35:11The girl
35:12died of a
35:12broken
35:13heart.
35:16she's
35:17dead
35:17because of
35:18you.
35:19I think
35:20you better
35:21leave now.
35:37And now
35:38I know
35:39the truth
35:39and you
35:40both killed
35:41him!
35:42Clarice
35:43you want
35:44justice
35:44for your
35:45friend
35:45but this
35:46is not
35:47the way.
35:48I had
35:49no idea
35:50what
35:50nurse
35:51I'd
35:51have
35:51done.
35:51Liar!
35:52When I
35:52found
35:53Rowan
35:54in that
35:54room
35:54he was
35:55already
35:56dead
35:56so help
35:57me
35:57God.
35:58Clarice
36:01you must
36:02repent.
36:05Confess
36:05and seek
36:06God's
36:06forgiveness
36:07for the
36:07sake
36:07of your
36:08immortal
36:08soul.
36:09I am
36:10not the
36:11one who
36:11needs to
36:11repent.
36:17what did
36:17you do
36:18with
36:18Alice?
36:21I think
36:22you owe
36:22her an
36:23answer
36:23sister
36:23Agatha.
36:31Nurse
36:32Hyde
36:32persuaded
36:32me it
36:33would be
36:33best if
36:33we kept
36:34it all
36:35quiet.
36:40We buried
36:41Alice
36:41there
36:43with
36:44Rowan.
36:44Rowan.
36:46With
36:57Rowan.
36:58Eternal rest
36:59grant unto
37:00them
37:00and let
37:03perpetual
37:04light
37:05light shine
37:05upon you.
37:08Amen.
37:10Amen.
37:20I thought
37:21you rocked
37:22in hell.
37:24Amen.
37:27I didn't know
37:27how to stop
37:28her.
37:29I'm not a bad
37:30person,
37:31father.
37:31father.
37:34The death
37:35of a baby
37:36and her
37:37mother.
37:39The forced
37:40sale of
37:41children.
37:43You were
37:44complicit,
37:45sister
37:45Agatha.
37:47And that
37:48habit does
37:49not spare
37:50you from
37:51either blame
37:52or the law.
38:01how could
38:02you let
38:02this
38:02happen?
38:03Such
38:04cruelty,
38:05such evil
38:06and in a
38:07place of
38:08God.
38:09Oh my
38:10Lord.
38:13Inspector
38:13Sullivan has
38:14agreed to
38:15handle this
38:15discreetly.
38:16So all in
38:17all,
38:18a satisfactory
38:19resolution.
38:21satisfactory.
38:23Those
38:23women,
38:24those poor
38:25babes,
38:25and all
38:26under your
38:26jurisdiction.
38:27You should
38:28be ashamed.
38:30Have you
38:30nothing to
38:31say,
38:31Father
38:31Brown?
38:33Mrs.
38:33McCarthy
38:34is very
38:34capable of
38:35speaking for
38:36herself,
38:36Canon Fox.
38:38All I'd
38:38say is
38:39this.
38:40It'll be a
38:41sad day for
38:41the church
38:42if you
38:42ever
38:43become
38:44bishop.
38:55Oh,
38:57my
38:58angels.
39:00Hey.
39:00Hey.
39:02My
39:02little
39:03angels.
39:04Hey.
39:05Hey.
39:05Oh,
39:07thank you
39:07so much.
39:09Hey.
39:11Mm.

39:14McCarthy,
39:15we're
39:16rather taken
39:16with your
39:17home.
39:18Oh,
39:18well,
39:19thank you.
39:20We think
39:20it might
39:21be just
39:21what we
39:21need
39:22for a
39:22new
39:22beginning.
39:24So,
39:25we'd like
39:26you to
39:27name your
39:27price.
39:28Oh,
39:29my
39:29heavens.
39:32Absolutely
39:32delicious,
39:34Mrs.
39:34McCarthy.
39:35The best
39:36cottage pie
39:37in England.
39:38Oh,
39:38come now,
39:39Father.
39:40In Gloucestershire,
39:41perhaps.
39:42And
39:43profiteroles
39:44for pudding.
39:45Oh.
39:48So,
39:50what next
39:50for you
39:51two?
39:52Well,
39:54Auntie
39:54Bridget says
39:55I can
39:55keep my
39:56babies.
39:57Maura's
39:57no angel,
39:58but
40:00anyone can
40:01see she's
40:02a natural
40:02mother.
40:04I'm delighted
40:05for you
40:06both.
40:06So,
40:07Mrs.
40:08Haddington
40:08has offered
40:09them all
40:09a place
40:10with her
40:10here in
40:11Kembleford.
40:12And where
40:12will you
40:13go?
40:13Oh,
40:14she'll
40:14return home
40:15to Ireland.
40:16I want
40:17to go
40:17with her,
40:17father.
40:18Show
40:19these two
40:19beauties
40:19to Ma
40:20and Pa.
40:20And I've
40:21explained
40:21that won't
40:22be possible.
40:27An unmarried
40:28mother
40:28in a small
40:30rural town
40:31in County
40:31Cork.
40:32People have
40:33very close
40:34minds.
40:35Minds can be
40:36changed,
40:37as you have
40:38discovered.
40:39Be that as it
40:40may,
40:41if she turns
40:42up alone
40:43with two
40:44little babies.
40:44She wouldn't
40:45be alone.
40:47She'd have
40:48you by her
40:49side.
40:51Moira
40:52clearly feels
40:53brave enough
40:53to face
40:54the music.
40:54I suppose
40:54the question
40:55is,
40:55Mrs.
40:56McCarthy,
40:58are you?
41:08I can't
41:08wait for my
41:09family to meet
41:10them.
41:11What do
41:12you think
41:12your mum will
41:13say?
41:14She'll
41:14love them
41:15to bits.
41:16Once she
41:16gets over
41:16the shark.
41:20You've been
41:20a true
41:21friend,
41:21Brenda.
41:31Now,
41:32I've, um,
41:33laid everything
41:34out in the
41:34house,
41:35so packing
41:36it all up
41:37should be
41:37quite easy.
41:38I don't
41:38doubt it,
41:39Mrs.
41:39McCarthy.
41:40and I
41:41think what
41:42you're doing
41:42is wonderful.
41:44Oh, I
41:44don't know
41:44about wonderful,
41:45but maybe
41:46back home
41:47we'll find
41:48more kindness
41:49and compassion
41:50than I give
41:51people credit
41:51for.
41:54And we'll
41:55take good
41:56care of your
41:56home.
41:57We certainly
41:58will.
41:59And be sure
41:59to take good
42:00care of the
42:00father.
42:01And as for
42:03you,
42:03young lady,
42:04I really
42:04think you
42:05could make
42:06something of
42:06yourself
42:06if you
42:08put your
42:08mind to
42:09it.
42:10Thanks,
42:10Mrs.
42:11McCarthy.
42:16Your own
42:16hymn book
42:17to remember
42:18us by.
42:20Thank you,
42:20father.
42:22But I've
42:22no need
42:23of a keepsake.
42:24You are
42:25firmly lodged
42:26any year,
42:27always will
42:27be.
42:30But thank
42:31you for
42:31everything.
42:34Thank you,
42:35Mrs. McCarthy.
43:00Canon Fox,
43:01bishop-elect,
43:02the Vatican
43:03announced it
43:04this past
43:04hour.
43:06Well, I
43:07will ensure
43:07that our
43:08bells are
43:08rung in
43:09your honour.
43:11Although I
43:12fear the
43:12bells may
43:13be tolling
43:13for you,
43:14father
43:14Brown.
43:15Once I
43:16take over,
43:17there'll be
43:18no more
43:19extracurricular
43:19distractions.
43:28Best

43:29your boss,
43:29father.
43:32go
