00:28SOMETIMES
00:29Sometimes our new beginnings have been yearned for, we have chosen them, others lie in wait
00:39and burst upon us like bad weather or unwelcome beasts.
00:47Little wonder that we cling to what is certain, home, the hearth, the family, born or found,
00:57places where no storms land and we think no winds can blow.
01:05What's happening with the father in all this?
01:08Is there any prospect of marriage?
01:10I've asked her that and she wouldn't answer.
01:12How could you be so stupid, Belinda?
01:15You wear the world at your feet.
01:19University.
01:20Once you gave up on the idea of nursing, you were going to be a history teacher.
01:24I can still be a history teacher.
01:27Who's going to give you a job?
01:29You'll be an unmarried mother.
01:30Rhoda, the world's changing.
01:32Not fast enough.
01:35People keep saying the world's changing for people like Susan and I don't see any evidence of it.
01:39This isn't about Susan.
01:40Mum.
01:45Lady Aylwood, would you consider entering into partnership with me?
01:51Partnership?
01:52I intend to semi-retire and I thought that 40% ownership of the Lady Emily might appeal with the
02:00backing of the Aylwood Estate, of course.
02:02I'm afraid I don't have access to the Aylwood Estate capital, Mr. Scarrisbrick, and neither does my husband.
02:09Everything is under the control of my mother-in-law, Lavinia.
02:12Ah, of course, dear, difficult Lavinia. I remember her from our dancing days.
02:19Nevertheless, I would like you to at least consider the offer.
02:24Perhaps you could put your wiles to work.
02:30Hey, look, you've got to calm down.
02:32Alright? And you've got to sit down.
02:34And then we can work things out.
02:36Look, if there is one thing that we're really good at as a family, it is working our problem.
02:40I didn't do this as part of the family, Dad. I did it on my own.
02:44And they're funded.
02:45It was fantastic.
02:47While it lasted.
02:54Hey.
02:56This isn't your fault.
02:59Eh?
03:00How beautiful.
03:10Oh, Perel!
03:12I thought we had mice, which aren't unheard of even in the best managed mansion flats.
03:16I was feeling the heat.
03:18I think it's that continental quilt.
03:21I don't think they'll catch on over here.
03:23The winters aren't cold enough.
03:25I'll swap you with this candle wick.
03:27Tomorrow.
03:35Sister, if you don't want to take the diuretics anymore, I accept that.
03:42You're not going to dissuade me?
03:46No.
03:49I tried to.
03:51Out of love.
03:54As we discussed.
03:56And now I will stop.
03:59Out of respect.
04:08Good morning.
04:09Good morning.
04:12Rosalind.
04:12I went on an early morning excursion to a number of news stations.
04:16And bought bridal magazines in all of them.
04:19I've no time to get anything made.
04:20There are superb ready to wear options these days.
04:23And every boutique worth knowing will be listed in small ads.
04:26I've never even decided if I'm going to wear white.
04:28And the weather's going to be cold.
04:30It's a wedding dress.
04:31Why would you not want white?
04:33There are wonderful options in lace that would look divine with a long sleeve.
04:38Delicate.
04:38Virginal.
04:39And no one will see your goosebumps.
04:42I've just had two very interesting phone calls.
04:45First St Cuspert's telling me that Mrs Rhoda Mollocks is pressing for an early discharge after a cholestystectomy.
04:52She's not going to be very well at all.
04:54Should I add her to the district nursing list?
04:56Thank you, Nurse Clifford.
04:57But then I had Mrs Mollocks ring to say that their elder daughter is expecting and in need of our
05:03attention.
05:04I'll put Mrs Turner on to this.
05:06She knows the family well.
05:09Nurse Crane, I'm afraid I'd need to speak to you about Sister Monica Joan.
05:16There isn't a GP on this earth that would force a determined woman of 90-odd to take medication if
05:22she doesn't want to.
05:23All it will do is make her more unhappy.
05:25She's almost cheery this morning.
05:28If anything, you'd think she was on the mend.
05:31Well, don't bother her with any urine or blood tests for now.
05:35The symptoms will speak for themselves.
05:37Thank you, Doctor.
05:39I'll keep you informed as things unfold.
05:45Dr Turner, I have just received the most infuriating communication from Central Supplies asking you for the return of every
05:52item of council-owned equipment in our possession.
05:55Now?
05:56Prior or immediately subsequent to the closure of your facility as appropriate.
06:02Well, the closure itself isn't appropriate.
06:05And every bed, kidney bowl and set of clamps is staying on these premises until the last mother and baby
06:12go out of those doors.
06:13We've included this entirely spurious list of items headed assumed inventory.
06:19It will be consigned to the incinerator and I shall prepare an audit of our own.
06:23The incubator never belonged to Central Supplies.
06:27It was paid for by the people of Poplar because the council wouldn't provide the funds.
06:33They are not having it.
06:35And I'm still a GP.
06:37Send in my next patient.
06:42I don't think your dates are quite right, Belinda.
06:46You feel close to term to me.
06:48Does that mean I'm going to have it soon?
06:50Very possibly.
06:51She was here all through the summer holidays and as Rhoda keeps telling me there was nothing showing.
06:55Bernie, why don't you go to work until Rhoda arrives in the ambulance?
07:00Belinda and I can work through some tests and I'll make inquiries about her home health.
07:05Mum will tell you she doesn't need one.
07:07And I'll tell her that without one she'll end up back in hospital.
07:11Don't worry, we'll soon get things organised for both of you.
07:16You are more than welcome.
07:18Mr Franklin will see you at four o'clock.
07:22Viola player with a wry neck and begging to be squeezed in.
07:26I have to say, I could fill your brother's diary twice over and there'd still be people weeping at the
07:31gates.
07:32I was thinking you might like to have a weekly clinic at the Lady Emily when I start as matron
07:36there.
07:37Have you told anyone at Ninata's house yet?
07:39That I'm moving.
07:42I'll speak to Sister Julia when she's back from the mother house.
07:45Are you afraid how she might react?
07:47I'm terrified.
07:48Not because she'll be angry, but because she'll be quite calm.
07:52Not because she'll be disappointed, but that she'll be accepting.
07:56But worst of all, I'm terrified she'll smile and wrap her arms around me and tell me it's all God's
08:05plan.
08:06What if it is God's plan?
08:08Then I resent it.
08:10We've spent years and years and years trying to determine and do the best for the women of Poplar.
08:19But in the end, it all counts for nothing.
08:24Because some great imaginary being decided otherwise.
08:28Well, just because God is invisible doesn't make him imaginary.
08:35Rhoda, I need to take your blood pressure.
08:38And then I want you upstairs and resting in bed.
08:41Just let us hear from the Thalidomide Society in the campaign.
08:44They need dealing with.
08:46And I need to talk to Belinda.
08:49She's upstairs.
08:51I think she was feeling quite...
08:54anxious.
08:57Belinda!
09:00I need to say what all mums say, don't I?
09:06I need to say you're not the first.
09:10And you won't be the last.
09:15It'll be all right, love.
09:18We've got three worse than this.
09:21I never got three worse than this.
09:28I wish to sit in the chair.
09:31And I find myself desirous of a pomegranate.
09:36That would be most unwise.
09:39Pomegranates are extremely high in potassium.
09:41Can I fetch you some other nice fruit from the market?
09:45I would like you to summon someone from this establishment.
09:52Albion and Sons is an undertaker.
09:55And I will have a pomegranate.
09:59I'll never finish with God.
10:02And I'll never question Him.
10:04It's only myself I'm confused about.
10:07And what I want.
10:09And whether it's right for me to want it.
10:12I know you want a child, Meryl.
10:15But is there more to it than that?
10:18I've wanted a child.
10:20So much.
10:22It filled my every aching moment.
10:26My every waking thought.
10:28But now...
10:32I've started my menopause.
10:36I've left it all too late.
10:40I've left it all too late.
10:45I loved Susan from the moment I saw her.
10:48So did I.
10:51But I was scared.
10:53About what you'd think.
10:56You and Perry.
10:58Because I knew your lives had changed.
11:01I knew...
11:02We were all headed somewhere.
11:06That wasn't normal.
11:07Susan was normal. To us.
11:09Sometimes I only remembered she was different when I saw other people's faces.
11:14She made us more of a gang, though, didn't she?
11:17Still does.
11:19Malick's is against the world.
11:22And you were never just Belinda after she came along.
11:26You were Susan's sister.
11:28I don't want you to think I'm not proud of that.
11:32But I had to look at everything.
11:34That way.
11:35And everybody looked at me that way.
11:36When I went to university, I wasn't Susan's sister.
11:42And when I thought I was wanted, that I was special,
11:47I was just so thrilled.
11:50I did stupid, stupid things.
11:53If that's because of anything that I did,
11:57then I was stupid too.
12:03Dr Turner?
12:04Philip Parry.
12:06That son of yours is shaping up quite nicely.
12:09We'll make an obstetrician of him yet.
12:11I'm still hoping to make him a GP.
12:13Um, later this month.
12:14We're trying out some new diagnostic technology.
12:16I thought you might send some patients my way.
12:19Of course.
12:19In return for a preview.
12:22Were you taken by surprise when I requested your attendance?
12:26We genuinely look after the deceased, Sister Monica Joan.
12:29Um, but it seems to me that caring for the dying matters just as much.
12:35I do not fear death.
12:38I am, however, beset by all manner of opinions.
12:42About your funeral.
12:43There are rights and rituals that are prescribed.
12:47And I embrace them.
12:49But I find I cannot rest, lest my farewell is not managed in the way it ought to be.
12:56If you explain to me why you think that is, I can help.
13:01By working out what you should do.
13:04Oh.
13:09Brad!
13:11Brad!
13:13What's the matter, Sister?
13:15Sister Monica Joan has asked for the wheelchair.
13:18Oh, blimey.
13:19Is it still in the shed?
13:24I've been, er, using it to transport compost.
13:27Well, I thought she'd approve of that.
13:33Oh!
13:35Nanata's house, midwife speaking.
13:37Sis, it's me.
13:38Um, Matthew's been trying to get hold of you.
13:41I'm on a house call, Geoffrey. What's the matter?
13:42It's your ma-in-law, the other Lady Aylward.
13:45Sis, she's had a massive heart attack.
13:48Matthew's already left for the airport.
13:49They quarreled so badly when she took over the company.
13:52He'll be desperate to see her.
13:53I'm afraid it's too late.
13:57Sometimes I think it's a market that has changed at least.
14:01The produce always marked the changing of the seasons,
14:04even during times of war.
14:07I remember some winters,
14:09there was nothing on these vegetables except turnips and dried peas.
14:14All right, Sister.
14:16Fancy a few bananas on the house.
14:20My eyes are dimmer than once they were.
14:24It is Mr. Morris, is it not?
14:28Who wants to know? The old Bill?
14:33The sisters brought all of our kids into the world,
14:35but you delivered the first one and the last.
14:41Which was a faultling breach.
14:44I recall that now.
14:46My Mildred said afterwards,
14:47don't you ever charge her for bananas again.
14:51How about a few chrysamps, Sister?
14:56I don't deserve such generosity.
15:00I'd let them be the judge of that.
15:09The flags beneath these wheels are worn quite smooth.
15:17One thinks about the feet that made them, sir.
15:20The brides.
15:24The brides.
15:27The thousand infants brought to be baptized.
15:32The mourners.
15:37I see a few churches in my line of work.
15:41I always reckon this one is the best.
15:46Do you ever pray, Mr. Mollocks?
15:51I have felt the inclination once or twice.
15:59I will be buried at the mother house.
16:04But I want my requiem to take place here.
16:10I am not only leaving this earth, Mr. Mollocks.
16:14I am leaving Poplar.
16:16And it is my home.
16:22Has there ever been a greater indicator of a shotgun wedding status
16:27than a hastily buttercreamed vanilla sponge?
16:31Pick your nozzle.
16:33I'll do the small rosettes.
16:35You can do the large ones.
16:36I do so wish you were able to come.
16:39I always loved to party.
16:41Almost more than anything.
16:43When I was a nun, I was always sat on the sidelines.
16:46Now not a nun.
16:48However temporarily.
16:50And banished.
16:53I could give a good account of myself in the Foxtrot once upon a time.
16:57Oh, I adore a Foxtrot.
16:59I also know of a lovely lounge bar where they play all the right tunes
17:03and serve resplendent cocktails.
17:06I'll take you there if you like.
17:08I'd like to be anywhere where I'm not on the fringes.
17:14This campaign is making you ill.
17:16You've got to give it to Westbro.
17:17Where's that going to get anyone?
17:19Susan is never, ever going to be independent.
17:22I think about that every day.
17:23What are you going to be if you rip your stitches out?
17:25Do you want me to carry you up?
17:28Yes, so I can't hear them.
17:30I think you're doing quite well, don't you?
17:53I think you're doing quite well, don't you?
18:00Um, that's the fool.
18:00I know my sister Maude.
18:01But she passed away long before my time.
18:05She was the infamarian.
18:08And she loved her deathbed more than any birthing chamber.
18:14The end of life was always more compelling to her than its commencement.
18:25Sometimes I saw her weep.
18:28She wept when she died.
18:32But religious are supposed to welcome the end when it is offered to us.
18:41I think.
18:45It is offered to me now.
18:47No, sister.
18:49You were the one who foretold it.
18:53What do you mean?
18:54At Christmas, when we saw another pass through the veil from this world to the next.
19:04I can't recall his name, but his eyes were bright.
19:10Like Robins.
19:14Mr. Fisher.
19:18He was met by all who loved him.
19:23And you said the sisters would come for me.
19:29When you die?
19:32I saw Sister Maud as clearly as I see you now.
19:41And I know it has begun.
19:50I'm not convinced it's imminent.
19:52But she's asked to see the priest.
19:55I will come back tomorrow.
19:57I was already preparing to leave.
20:00As there have been discussions and a vote.
20:03And I have news to impart.
20:05Will you impart it when you get home?
20:07Yes.
20:09Please.
20:10Just stay with our sister now.
20:12I won't leave her for a moment.
20:16Oh, come on, lass.
20:18We're in this together.
20:21There's going to be a wedding.
20:24That's life though, isn't it?
20:27And I didn't dare tell Sister Julianne the other thing she asked for.
20:34So, a little word told us you fancy the gin and tonic.
20:37You better drink it because we had to go to the off-license specially.
20:42I have heard the beverage mentioned so often in my lifetime.
20:47And always in such approving terms.
20:52I thought it a shame.
20:54I was so ignorant.
20:56Will you all feel you're keeping your liquids up?
20:59Go on.
21:10I declare myself enamored.
21:23I think the choice of soft drinks is very sensible the night before a wedding.
21:29I'm looking forward to the trifle.
21:31I love trifle.
21:33Phyllis had to put it back in the fridge.
21:34The custard hadn't set yet.
21:37Are you serving the bride breakfast in bed in the morning, Millicent?
21:39I most certainly am.
21:43I've also thought of an additional embellishment.
21:50Welcome back, sister!
22:09I couldn't get to sleep last night. All I wanted was for it to be the morning.
22:12Honey?
22:13Honey?
22:14You forgot your shoes and your hair dryer?
22:16Hi, Bradbo.
22:20We put some peppermints on the tray.
22:33Saltfish, ackee, and fried dumpling.
22:36You need a proper breakfast inside you today of all days.
22:41Thank you for being my witness, Mrs. Wallace.
22:43I am not your witness.
22:46God is your witness.
22:48Even if the wedding is in a registry office.
22:52Is that shirt ready, Mrs. Buckle?
22:55Well, I'm not satisfied with the right handcuff.
22:58Oh, by the way, Cyril, Fred wondered which firm you booked your taxes with.
23:03Muzzy's Mortars.
23:05Just in case there's any problems.
23:10Thank you for your patience, ladies.
23:12May I present the bride.
23:14She's a great judge.
23:16Arx?
23:17It's amazing.
23:20Can I ask you the red rib?
23:24Woo!
23:26Woo!
23:28Woo!
23:29Woo!
23:30It's amazing.
23:36Woo!
23:40I'm here.
23:44Woo!
23:46Father Hilary is hearing her confession.
23:56Will you please repeat after me?
23:58I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
24:04why I, Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:08I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
24:13why I, Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:22Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:24May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
24:30May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
24:41Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy
24:46Spirit.
24:47May the Lord, who frees you from sin, save you and raise you up.
24:56Amen.
25:01I marry you with this ring because you are more precious to me than all the gold the world contains.
25:11And I marry you with this ring because a circle is eternal and our love will never end.
25:25Receive, sister, this food for thy journey, the body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
25:32May he preserve thee from the malicious enemy and bring thee to everlasting life.
25:37Amen.
25:39Amen.
25:40Amen.
26:19It is quite wonderfully made.
26:23When I made my vows to Christ, we were told, a single lily must suffice.
26:32I should have liked that better.
26:36You are radiant.
26:38Even among brides, it is the child within you, I think.
26:46A pearl.
26:49Like the pearl you wear on your finger.
26:53Who told you about the child?
26:55It is supposed to be a secret.
26:58Perhaps as the body fades, the senses grow sharper.
27:05I have a gift for your infant.
27:09You must not leave without it.
27:12The teddy bear?
27:21Oh.
27:24Is this the one like a Joan?
27:25Your child is a child of this century.
27:30It has both your features in its face.
27:35And I delight in it.
27:41I'm waiting.
27:42What does she used to tie to the taxi?
27:44The trouble is there is no taxi.
27:46I booked it in advance and there's no sign of it.
28:05What's this, Fred?
28:07We thought you should have something special.
28:31Hello, love.
28:32This is Mrs Mullocks.
28:33Could you get your mum and tell her it's about Belinda?
28:42Her hand's started to go cold.
28:50I'll call Dr Turner.
28:52He has to be kept informed.
29:00Dad.
29:02I keep thinking about Susan.
29:07And her legs and her arms.
29:09I mean, the artificial ones.
29:12They just don't work.
29:15She has to be pushed and parked like luggage or something.
29:20There's no alternative, Perry.
29:21We had a talk in college today about electric wheelchairs.
29:26Electric? Like you plug it in?
29:28No.
29:29They have a built-in 100-watt motor and rear-wheel drive.
29:34Why don't you tell the society?
29:36Maybe they can fix it for Susan to try one.
29:40Do you reckon she could steer an electric one herself?
29:43We'd have to give it a go.
29:45Well, Dad, she needs us to chase everything that's new.
29:50Oh, good girl, Belinda.
29:53Good girl.
29:54This one will soon be over.
29:57Oh, they just keep coming, though.
29:59That's the nature of childbirth, love.
30:03Shall I pop and get you some more painkillers?
30:06In a minute, maybe.
30:08It feels so strange with all those empty beds.
30:12You're our only patient, Belinda.
30:15And the delivery room's all set up for when you're ready to move through.
30:18Mrs Turner was saying this might be the last baby ever born here.
30:23You're lucky to get in before it closes down.
30:27Ugh.
30:28Oh.
30:29Mm.
30:30They won a break.
30:32Eight and seven.
30:33Now it's absolutely crucial that he wins this final frame
30:37before the mid-session interlude.
30:40Here he is with the break.
30:42Don't I get a beer?
30:43You've got crisps.
30:45We need you to listen to our presentation
30:47about why we should get a colour television.
30:49One, wildlife programmes are very educational
30:52and much more educational in colour.
30:54Two, if Christopher comes back from Hong Kong,
30:57he'll be able to watch Trump ton in colour.
31:00Three, Timothy will come home
31:02and watch things like the old Grey Whistle Test,
31:04which, surprisingly enough, is in colour.
31:07Hang on.
31:08Hang on.
31:08Why are you doing this when your mother's out here?
31:11It's because she always says you're the soft touch,
31:12and she isn't.
31:16Fly me to the moon
31:18Let me play among the stars
31:23Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
31:31In other words
31:33Hold my hand
31:39In other words
31:43Baby, kiss me
31:45You look simply ravishing
31:48And rather appropriately
31:51This cocktail comprising gin, lemon juice and creme de peche
31:55is known as Perfect Lady
31:57I might yet find out what a hangover is like
32:09Philip
32:14How lovely to see you, Geoffrey
32:16Is Alistair with you?
32:18Oh, propping up the bar as usual
32:20Flatney refuses to join me on the dance floor
32:22I do so envy you
32:24Your delightful partner
32:25Oh, this is my darling friend
32:27Beryl
32:28Beryl, may I present
32:30Philip Parry
32:31How lovely to meet you
32:33Enchante
32:48Fresh hot water bottle
32:49I think I saw her shiver
32:53You're done in, lass
32:54I'll fetch you if things change
32:58You go to bed
32:59Leave the night shift to me
33:03Something old
33:04Something new
33:07Something horrible
33:09Something blue
33:13I've still got memories
33:15To cherish
33:19Oh, please
33:20What?
33:21Please, can't you just pull it out?
33:23It's just she seems to go limp
33:25every time she has a pain
33:26You've got to push, love
33:28Push
33:29I'm going to set the doctor
33:51That's it, Belinda
33:52Push into your bottom again
33:54Like you did last time
33:56I think I can get her on the bed's out
33:57Good girl, Belinda
34:09Have things changed?
34:11They're starting to
34:12You get dressed
34:13And I'll tell Sister Julianne
34:23I might have known you'd put in an appearance
34:26Sister with Angelina
34:28Some of us know when a job needs finishing
34:32You, meanwhile, have shilly-shallied long enough
34:36Even the Almighty's patience has worn thin
34:40What's it like
34:44Where I will go
34:47It's everything we were promised
34:51And all that you have worked for
34:59Come on, you
35:00And all that you have worked for
35:07Who will be
35:30You put me out of a job, Belinda
35:36Well done.
35:38Oh, look at her.
35:42Look at her little hands.
35:45Look at her little toes.
35:51Would you like to do something very special, Rhoda,
35:54and cut the cord?
36:05Oh, God.
36:30Oh, my God.
36:45There is no pulse.
36:49Oh, lass.
36:51Oh, lass.
36:58Oh.
37:01I want to say,
37:03how can a heart like her stop beating?
37:08How can a life like hers come to an end?
37:15She'll be up in the window
37:17to let her soul out.
37:20When Sister Julian gets here,
37:23there's no hurry.
37:27Would you like me to pray with you
37:29until she comes?
37:40I want to pray with you.
37:41Rest eternal, grant unto her, O Lord.
37:44May her soul
37:45and the souls of all the departed
37:47through the mercy of God
37:49rest at peace.
37:52Amen.
38:03She really has laid down
38:05everything she wanted.
38:07And in considerable detail.
38:09Even that she wants to be wheeled
38:11to the church
38:12on a costumonger's cart.
38:14A proper poplar funeral.
38:17We will do everything she asks.
38:20Meanwhile, Mr. Malek,
38:21I believe you became
38:23a grandfather last night.
38:24I did.
38:26I did.
38:28Don't go.
38:34I'll have to sign the certificate
38:36that you can do the checks.
38:41Torch and stethoscope.
38:44That's all you need.
38:49Heartbeat first?
38:51Just as if she was still with us.
39:04I feel as though
39:05I should be talking to her.
39:08I always think that.
39:13It's okay, sister.
39:17You're in good hands.
39:30Geoffrey.
39:32It's time for me to go.
39:35Where?
39:36Back to the Order.
39:38I was always going to have to choose.
39:40And you don't want to
39:42choose this?
39:43I left because
39:44I wanted a child.
39:47This
39:49isn't a life
39:50that could give me that.
39:51I could find you someone who can.
39:52There are hordes
39:54of suitable men out there.
39:55They come charging down
39:56the thoroughfares of London
39:56like the Hun.
39:57And I'm a dab hand
39:59with a
39:59with a shark net
40:00and with a
40:01a poison dart
40:02and a blowpipe.
40:04Geoffrey.
40:05This isn't to do with you.
40:08I've been beaten
40:10by my own biology.
40:12And I belong in the Order.
40:15I earn that life.
40:18If I go back
40:21I can hold babies every day.
40:25I love them
40:26every day.
40:28And that won't hurt you?
40:31Not now.
40:34Because I know
40:35the things I dreamed of
40:38weren't meant for me.
40:50what does a poor bear do?
40:53Well, he's one of the people
40:56who helped to carry the coffin
40:58into the church.
41:00It's considered to be an honour
41:03especially if the person
41:04had died to ask for you.
41:05Who else did she ask?
41:08Fred, of course.
41:10And Dr. Turner
41:11and Timothy
41:12and Cyril
41:13and Geoffrey.
41:15And she put Miss Higgins'
41:17Harry down
41:18as a reserve.
41:19All the proper men.
41:22Yes.
41:23Because you're a proper man too.
41:26I will do it
41:27and I will be proud.
41:32Beryl, you know
41:33I'll walk you all the way
41:34to the front door
41:35if you want me to.
41:37No.
41:38You'd best not.
41:40I need to say goodbye
41:42to Beryl too.
41:44Maybe it's best
41:45if I leave her here.
41:46With me?
41:49She'll always be with you.
41:51And whenever there's
41:53chutney to be made
41:56costumes cobbled together
41:58or
42:00happy family times
42:01to be had again
42:02in the convent parlour
42:04Sister Veronica
42:05will always be so pleased
42:08to see you.
42:09And there will be
42:09happy family times
42:10won't there?
42:11Yes.
42:16Don't disappear.
42:32I'm not scared
42:33of new beginnings, Sister.
42:35I've seen too many
42:36babies being born.
42:38And you will wait
42:39until we know
42:40exactly where we're going?
42:42We had a long conversation
42:43about waiting once
42:44in the wreckage of a train.
42:49Waiting is what we do.
42:51Yes.
42:53We'll do this together.
42:58And with that
42:59I suppose I ought to pray.
43:01I have always left that
43:03to the experts.
43:09Do you have a moment,
43:11Nurse Green?
43:11I'm having to start
43:13the paperwork
43:14to transfer
43:15all of our
43:16expectant mother's notes.
43:18It's a pleasure
43:19to postpone it.
43:20I applied for an acting
43:22sister's job
43:22at St. Cuthberts
43:23and they've asked me
43:25to go for an interview.
43:26Oh, lass.
43:27Well done.
43:29But
43:30it's on the day
43:31of the funeral.
43:33Oh.
43:40If you do the interview
43:41at the appointed time,
43:43you should get to the church
43:45before the end.
43:46But
43:46you don't think
43:48that would be
43:48disrespectful?
43:51The reverse.
43:54We are burying
43:55a woman
43:55whose whole life
43:57was defined
43:58by her profession.
44:00She's probably
44:01up there now
44:02putting a word
44:03in for you.
44:09We are all
44:10facing loss
44:10and we are
44:12facing change.
44:13The death
44:14of our sister
44:15and the alteration
44:16of our practice
44:16are not linked
44:18but the sadness
44:20feels the same
44:20because it is
44:21time itself
44:21that has
44:23brought both
44:24these things
44:25about.
44:26I notice you say
44:28alteration,
44:29Sister Julianne,
44:30and not closure.
44:32Sister Veronica,
44:34Sister Catherine
44:35and I have decided
44:36that Ninata's house
44:37will become
44:38a house
44:38of prayer
44:40and of charity
44:42whilst we discern
44:43our next steps.
44:44can you say
44:45what sort of steps
44:46you might be
44:47considering?
44:48As we've already
44:49discussed with
44:50Dr. Turner,
44:51there are three
44:51potential new
44:53medical missions,
44:55all of which
44:56would involve
44:57at least a year
44:58abroad.
44:59One of them
44:59would be
45:00in the Gilbert
45:01and Ellis Islands,
45:02one of them
45:02would be
45:03in British Columbia,
45:04and one would be
45:05in a remote part
45:07of Australia.
45:08We ask for your prayers
45:10and your patience
45:14and that as many
45:15of you as are able
45:17stay with us
45:18on this journey.
45:21All will be well.
45:23I promise you.
45:27Before the cortege
45:28moves on to the church,
45:31Sister Julianne will read
45:32a short verse
45:34at the request
45:35of the lady
45:38we are honouring today.
45:41The poem is called
45:42The Old Astronomer
45:44Talks to His Pupil.
45:48Though my soul
45:50may set in darkness,
45:52it will rise
45:54in perfect light.
45:57I have loved the stars
45:58too fondly
46:01to be fearful
46:02of the night.
46:15Thank you, gentlemen.
46:31Nurse Highland,
46:33Sister Marcus
46:34has provided
46:35glowing references
46:36for your recent
46:37spell on our wards,
46:38but you also have
46:40excellent testimonials
46:42from your district work.
46:44Why do you want
46:45to return to
46:46a hospital environment?
46:47That's not an easy
46:49question to answer,
46:50patron,
46:50because it presupposes
46:52that my own enjoyment
46:53is the thing
46:54that matters.
46:56What matters most
46:57is the patient,
46:58the person who
46:59needs my care.
47:00Indeed.
47:01And I feel that
47:02going forward,
47:02I can give the best
47:04of myself to them
47:05in a place that
47:05is controlled
47:06and orderly
47:08and concerned
47:09with delivering excellence.
47:10And you don't feel
47:11that you can do that
47:12on the district?
47:13Things will improve,
47:14I'm sure,
47:15but not at the present time.
47:20Step.
47:22Step.
47:24Step.
47:25Step.
47:27Step.
47:29Step.
47:31Thank you, gentlemen.
47:33Do you see the body
47:34of our sister Monica
47:35joined with confidence
47:36in God who raised
47:37the Lord Jesus
47:37from the dead?
47:48the night with me
47:52the night with me
47:54lost for semen's eye,
47:59the darkness deepens,
48:06Lord with me
48:08Lord with me
48:39having brought so many new lives into the world sister monica joan has gone on to a new
48:48eternal existence of her own
48:52words about her time on earth seem so redundant and so small
49:00will we ever see her like again i cannot say
49:06but i can say this she was unique and yet what we feel as we let her go is universal
49:21because we have lost her we have lost her
49:29and today as we gather around the emptiness that she has left behind
49:36that space becomes not a void but a vessel filled with love
49:45for her and from her from ourselves and for each other
49:54we may not know what the future holds but we can all say our lives contained her
50:03and that binds us for eternity
50:19so
51:20Oh, I like it.
51:23Yeah.
51:31Perfect.
51:32Perfect.
51:37Rob, epitome of authority and poise.
51:41Do turn around so I can see the back.
51:44You don't need to see the back, Mr. Scarisbrick.
51:47Because the back has nothing at all to do with what I'm about to tell you.
51:50Well, I'm not expecting any discussion of my offer given your unfortunate family situation.
51:55My unfortunate family situation actually has had unexpected repercussions.
52:00My husband now controls their old estates and I've been given a seat on the board.
52:05So you're interested in buying a share of the clinic?
52:08I'm not interested in 40%.
52:1155 would be better.
52:13That way there's no confusion.
52:15We all know who's in charge.
52:30Is that nurse Rosalyn Robinson?
52:32Because she is looking at Sister Joyce Highland.
52:35You got the chance!
52:36Yes!
52:43Ah!
52:43There she is.
52:45You all ready for the big event?
52:46I have an uncomfortably full bladder.
52:49But I believe you are going to see something quite amazing.
52:53It is quite space age.
53:02I'm sorry they won't let you in.
53:07Now, what you are about to witness is a live examination of the gravid uterus using a method known as
53:14B-mode ultrasonography.
53:16The transducer emits pulses of sound into the maternal abdomen.
53:21And the returning echoes are converted into an image in real time.
53:27No radiation, no needles and no discomfort.
53:32Are you ready, Mother?
53:34Yes, Mr. Parry.
53:58I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party is a delightful way to conclude the old era.
54:04I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party is a delightful way to conclude the old era.
54:07Dr. Turner is greatly relieved that you are staying on as his district nurse.
54:12I think he was afraid that you might retire.
54:15Well, I'm already eligible for my pension so I could.
54:18But why would I want to?
54:20I love my work.
54:22To give it up would be like resigning from myself.
54:25Likewise.
54:27Look, I suppose one day even dear Dr. Turner won't need us anymore.
54:34But when that comes to pass, I'm inclined to think you and I might have some new adventures.
54:41Dare I ask what you have in mind?
54:45I thought we could set up a detective agency.
54:50I could investigate people via public records and you could use your advanced motorist's credentials to trail them or even
55:04give chase.
55:09You're wrong.
55:11What are we going to call ourselves?
55:13I think we should play on our spinsterly status perhaps.
55:18The Miss Adventures Agency?
55:21Miss Alliance?
55:23Yeah.
55:24Misdemeanours.
55:27I've seen cards in phone boxes from someone called Misdemeanours.
55:35That's the Worcester sauce.
55:38Well I think how soon we run out of time
55:45Looking back at what I've done in my time
55:51My accomplishments are few
55:57But for my days of loving you
56:04If I've never gone too far in this world
56:11When I might have made my mark in this world
56:18I had better things to do
56:23I had better things to do
56:25I had my days of loving you
56:31Let the others go their way
56:37Seeking more and more
56:43Give me just one yesterday
56:50Filled with love like yours
56:56I have nothing to regret in this life
57:04I've had all worries to get in this life
57:10Once I lived a dream come true
57:16I had my days of loving you
57:26There have always been goodbyes at Nonada's house
57:32And there have always been endings
57:36Year after year
57:37There have always been some drawing down of blinds
57:42Some closing of doors
57:44Some waving away of voyages and exiles
57:49We have grieved because there was no love without pain
57:55And we survived because the love was always greater
58:04There will always be another chapter
58:07And more change
58:09The world is forever evolving
58:13And the winds are sometimes cold
58:16But it is what we carry safe within us
58:21That will stay the same
58:25Hope is the pearl inside the oyster
58:28The seed in its sacred husk
58:32Hidden in the sweet dark earth
58:35Until the spring comes
58:54The wind was even week
58:56The new adventure
59:05As an adventure
59:13We can draw яв my chances
