0:00:00 > 0:00:02We've come for our child.
0:00:02 > 0:00:04I have heard reports of ill-treatment.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07She's selling foundlings into bad apprenticeships.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- Mother! - SHE GASPS
0:00:10 > 0:00:12The money was for hospital funds?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- Yes.- She's lying!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17I assume the girl will be punished for her lies?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Oh, yes.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22I have a plan in mind to deal with you, Hetty Feather.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35The hospital open day, it was Matron's idea, to boost
0:00:35 > 0:00:38hospital funds and show us foundlings off to the public.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Friends of the Foundling Hospital, welcome to our open day.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Your chance to delight at the hard work
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and handicrafts of our industrious foundlings.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53To these children, abandoned at birth,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56we have given purpose and discipline.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Please donate generously to this worthy cause!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Our patron, Lord Frederick Upton.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Matron had invited all sorts of rich toffs to our open day.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12So, we had to be on our very best behaviour.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I declare the first-ever open day
0:01:15 > 0:01:19officially, er...open!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Lord Upton, Charlotte, thank you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32The foundlings are delighted by your visit.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33How could I refuse?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I wanted to see my cousin Cranborne before we set sail to India.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Mm-hmph. The start of your new life, Frederick.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Yes. Well, I always was the adventurous one.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Ooh!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It was strange seeing Matron look so happy.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53But then, she always put on a show when money was around.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58FAIRGROUND MUSIC
0:01:58 > 0:02:00BELL RINGS
0:02:00 > 0:02:02And we'd never had anything like an open day before.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Boys and girls together. We felt, sort of...free.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Our finest wood-turned spindles, sir.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Two candlesticks, please.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Certainly, sir.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Made by a foundling's bare hands that was.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Thank you, sir. - You have a nice day, sir.- And you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Hurry along now, girls. Every penny's going to our hospital!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25All the guests were enjoying themselves...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27but that just made me feel lonely.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Everybody seemed to belong to someone.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- CHILDREN CHATTER - Hetty!
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Mary!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39You can call me Emily now!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Oh, Emily! You look so happy!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I couldn't miss out seeing you lot.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What's it like -
0:02:47 > 0:02:48having a mother and a father?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51It's amazing, Hetty.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Father makes me laugh. And Mother kisses me goodnight.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We have the same funny wrinkled-up nose when we smile, too.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I used to hate mine, but I don't any more.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Look! Harriet and Polly!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07So, that's what belonging felt like.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10And finding the love of a real mother and father.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Perhaps, one day, I'd feel like that, too.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27WIND BLOWS
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And then, I remembered...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36that day at the circus.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Madame Adeline reached out to me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40She called me "my little star".
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Could she be my mother?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28LAUGHTER
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I had to talk to her.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34CROWD CHATTERS
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Why she was here?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Was she really looking for me?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41CHILDREN CHATTER
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Isn't it great?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Today, we can see each other all day! And no-one can stop us.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52She's here. The circus lady from when we was little with Jem.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I...don't remember.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I think she's looking for me.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Mary found her parents.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It can happen. All our parents are out there somewhere.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05You really think she could be your mother?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, there's only one way to find out.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I have to find her and ask her.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Where is she?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14BAND MUSIC PLAYS
0:05:15 > 0:05:17CROWD CHATTERS
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Journeying to the cornerstone of the British Empire.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24How exciting, Miss Upton.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27No, it isn't. I don't even want to go!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Silly, horrid India.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Ooh. Dear, dear.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Charlotte's maid has returned home to nurse her sick father.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40She's not coming with us. Charlotte's missing Mabel already.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Oh, hopefully, the open day will cheer her.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43That's what I was wondering.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Would it be possible for a foundling girl
0:05:46 > 0:05:48to be Charlotte's maid for the day?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50The child needs company.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Of course, Lord Upton. In fact...
0:05:53 > 0:05:57perhaps a foundling is your answer for India?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Really, Matron? At such short notice?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I have just the candidate. Just...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03'Scuse me, please.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well! The girl I was looking for!
0:06:06 > 0:06:07- Me, Matron?- Yes!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Best behaviour, Feather!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Hetty Feather, meet Charlotte Upton.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You're to be her maid for the day.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25A maid? No, I have to sell sweets. I have to go!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Er, this is a very special task.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- But, Matron...- On your best behaviour
0:06:30 > 0:06:33or you know the punishment, Feather!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Do exactly as Charlotte asks.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Lord Upton's a very important man.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39MATRON LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:06:39 > 0:06:41That was it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Madame Adeline was gone.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46How could I ever get to ask her if she was my mother?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I'm sure you two will get along.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54But Gideon had spotted a way to help me.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Two tickets to the circus!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We've got to bid! We have to win them!
0:06:59 > 0:07:00The circus? What for?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- GIDEON SIGHS - Trust me, it's for Hetty.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04We have to do this.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07How do you bid on an auction without any money?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's what you call an impossibility!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Not if we put our minds to it. Come on!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15It's our open day. Why shouldn't we win something for once?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26# Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29# Isn't it a nobby one Or just the proper style?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31# I should like to have one Just the same as that... #
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Thank you very much, sir.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34# Wherever I go I shout, "Hello!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36# "Where did you get that hat?" #
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Most generous, sir.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Gideon was determined to win those circus tickets for me.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Thank you very much.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- GIDEON SINGS - What's his singing in aid of this time?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Winning the auction. He wants those tickets.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51No way. Those tickets are mine!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53And mine. I've always wanted to be a clown.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- APPLAUSE - No change there then.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'd love to see a flying trapeze. Imagine it!
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Imagine all you want. Matron's never going to let us go to the circus.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Rubbish. If we win in front of all those guests,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07she has to let us go!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Well, if you lot are bidding, so are we.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12You boys won't beat me. I'll see to that.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Come on, Judd.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Meanwhile, I was trailing about after Miss Snooty.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Harriet, Polly...this is Charlotte.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Strawberry bon-bons, s'il vous plait.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Could say "please".
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I did. It's French.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37These are my friends. You could at least be nice.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Hurry up, Hetty!
0:08:43 > 0:08:44We might be foundlings,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47but it doesn't mean you can't speak to us in a decent manner!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Urggh!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55They're horrid!
0:08:55 > 0:08:56CHARLOTTE GRUNTS
0:08:59 > 0:09:00I was stuck with her.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04And everywhere I looked, there was a reminder of what I was missing.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Meanwhile, the rest of the foundlings were scheming
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- to bid on the circus tickets.- Keep your filthy mitts off the produce.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Ah! Arthur. - SHE LAUGHS
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Arthur!- Let's outbid the boys by a country mile!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17How?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Sheila was going to double her prices.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Tuppence a cake, Madame. - Cheap at half the price!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28One of those, please...
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Sheila!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Thank you.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45It's called making a profit - fair and square.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Across the yard, Vince had his own scam going on.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53Roll up for the high striker. All proceeds to the Foundling Hospital.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Hit the bell for a win!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Vince and Judd had it all worked out.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Sorry. No bell, no win.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Better luck next time.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Here you go, mate.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- What? - You lot need to flex your muscles!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12But the bell didn't ring!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Everything all right, boys? Shall I have a go?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17All yours, sir.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Show 'em how it's done, Mr Cranborne.- Indeed.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:10:26 > 0:10:27BELL RINGS
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Gosh! I don't know my own strength.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Well done, sir!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Well, everything seems in order.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Have another go, boys. - Right! Who's next?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Unlucky.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Roll up for the high striker! All proceeds to the Foundling Hospital.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You sir, you look strong. Come and roll up.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56They do seem to be getting along.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Mm, no surprise. Hetty Feather will make a wonderful domestic maid.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Ah, this arrangement could be perfect.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04I agree.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Though, in accordance with hospital policy, erm...
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Hetty is a little young to be going into service.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Oh, dear. Are there no circumstances where the rules can be changed?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17India is the chance of a lifetime.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Unless the child becomes Charlotte's companion.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26That way, the governors wouldn't mind at all.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Especially if you were to make a generous donation.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Then, a generous donation, it is.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34How kind, Lord Upton.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Until the governors are informed,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40and all is under way, I do believe we should keep
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- this arrangement to ourselves.- Mm.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I'll collect the child by the end of the day.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Charlotte's packing needs to be done.- Perfect.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I look forward to signing the paperwork.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54That'll be tuppence, please, Miss Upton.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Tuppence? These are penny cakes we're selling, Sheila Ormsby.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- We baked them yesterday. - What does it matter?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03She's Lord Upton's daughter. She's got money to burn.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It doesn't matter whose daughter she is!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08You shouldn't swindle anyone.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10One penny. Take it or leave it, Sheila.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Before Matron finds out what you're up to.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Thank you, Hetty.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's all right. I'm a foundling. I can survive.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Survive? This hospital sounds like a dreadful place.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30It is. The same boring food every day,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32the same lessons, the same chores...
0:12:32 > 0:12:36And with hateful girls like them... that's no life at all.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I suppose it's all right, because I've got Gideon.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40He's my foundling brother.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42How do you cope?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44We have our own little ways of escaping.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47I could show you if you like.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53APPLAUSE
0:12:53 > 0:12:54What was that?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56# Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile? #
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Is Gideon still singing that stupid song?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59# Isn't it a nobby one or just the proper style? #
0:12:59 > 0:13:01I'm not letting him get all the money.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04# I should like to have one just the same as that... #
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- CHARLOTTE GASPS - Hetty!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17How wonderful!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Anything's wonderful away from Sheila
0:13:19 > 0:13:21and Matron Stinking Bottomly.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I write down all horrid things in my journal.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26That always helps.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I write a journal.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31But mostly, I write when I'm sad.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33What have you got to be sad about?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I've never had a friend before.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Not anybody like you.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41I'm not just anybody.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Mabel my maid was nice.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52But she was too old to be my real friend.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Who did you play with and run about?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58What about your brothers and sisters?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I don't have any. I see my governess
0:14:01 > 0:14:05and father, of course, on special occasions, like today.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Apart from that, he's far too busy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What about your mother?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You must spend a lot of time with her.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14No.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I...don't have one.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18She died giving birth to me.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I've never had a mother, so I don't know what it's like.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Me, neither.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35My mother brought me here when I was a baby.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38But I'd love to find her...
0:14:40 > 0:14:41..one day.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45That would be more than I ever wanted.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Having a mother must be the best thing in the whole world.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53I miss mine such a lot and I never even met her!
0:14:53 > 0:14:54HETTY CHUCKLES
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Me and you,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59we're more alike than you'd think.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I know! You be It.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Let's play hide and seek.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11CROWD CHATTERS
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Roll up, roll up!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16See the singing foundling. Hear his angelic voice!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18He'll serenade you, madam... Yes, you!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20..for hours.
0:15:20 > 0:15:2319, 18, 17...
0:15:23 > 0:15:27# Isn't it a nobby one or just the proper style?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30# I should like to have one just the same as that.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32# Wherever I go, I shout "Hello!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34# "Where did you get that hat?" #
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Donations would be much obliged. - Very good.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38You distract, I'll get the money. APPLAUSE
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Watch out, you dropped one.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Oi!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46CROWD GASPS
0:15:47 > 0:15:49PENNIES FALL
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Scarper!
0:15:59 > 0:16:00..2, 1.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Ready or not, here I come!
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'm terribly sorry, Miss.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Here, let me help.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Thank you. It's Gideon, isn't it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13What happened?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Miss Upton, where's Feather? She should be looking after you!
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Darling Charlotte, are you all right?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Goodness me, has there been an incident?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Charlotte? - Feather, where have you been?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You have left Miss Upton alone and in danger.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25And look at her dress!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It wasn't Hetty's fault. Or the boys'. They were being
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- very kind to me.- Really? Gideon?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Oh, Papa! I've made a friend. It's been the most fun ever!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I asked you to be on your best behaviour.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39As for you, do your duty.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Bring Charlotte inside and we'll get her cleaned up.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Yes, Matron.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Of course, Matron.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Good-hearted and well-mannered, too. Your foundlings impress me.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53For your sincere kindness towards my daughter.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Thank you, sir.- Call it a reward.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Now, I have some rather good news for my daughter.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Oh, yes? What's that, Frederick?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Nothing to concern you, Cranborne.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Keep up your, er...
0:17:07 > 0:17:08fundraising.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Spend it how you like!
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Nearly four shillings!
0:17:17 > 0:17:19We're going to the circus!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Not if we get caught, we're not.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23What's it to you, anyway?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25There's only two tickets and you're not coming.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Tuppence please, ma'am.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Thank you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44QUIET KNOCK
0:17:47 > 0:17:49FOOTSTEPS APPROACH SLOWLY
0:17:53 > 0:17:54It's nearly ready, Matron.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'll have it in the drying room and back to Charlotte as soon I can.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Good work, Feather.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Apart from that mishap just now, I have been most impressed.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09In fact, for all your efforts, I have some exciting news.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12At Lord Upton's request, you are to be Charlotte's companion.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13You are going to India.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- India?- Mmm!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19India? That's the other side of the world!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22No! I'm not going and you can't make me!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I'm afraid it's too late for that. You leave later today
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and you sail with the Uptons, Friday morning.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Very soon, you will be a foundling no more.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Please!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35This is the chance of a lifetime, Feather.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Others would be grateful for the opportunity!
0:18:39 > 0:18:41No, you can't send me away!
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Please! No, don't!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44No!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Welcome to the Foundling Hospital auction.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50The star prize -
0:18:50 > 0:18:53two tickets to Tanglefield's Circus!
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Bidding to begin soon!
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Gideon was desperate to get those tickets for me,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00so I could finally talk to Madame Adeline.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02But he wasn't alone,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Sheila and Vince both still had their eyes on the prize.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Hetty!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Papa told me! You're coming to India!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Hetty is honoured, indeed. Gather your things. Quick about it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I have our charity auction to attend!
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Er, Feather? Wait here until my return.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Hetty! You're going to be my friend in India forever!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I can't go.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Whyever not?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34How would you feel if you had to go away
0:19:34 > 0:19:37from everything you've ever known?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Your friends, your brother.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41But you'll be with me.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42You can write your journal
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and Stinking Bottomly won't push you around.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48You told me how miserable it is living here.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50This is a whole new life!
0:19:50 > 0:19:51It's not the new life I want!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57If you could have one wish in the whole world, what would it be?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59To have a mother, of course.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01But that's never going to happen.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03But what if it could?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05If she was out there somewhere?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- You'd go out and you'd find her. - Of course I would.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Madame Adeline?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24You really think she could be your mother?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Unless I meet her, I'll never know.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32She looks so like you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34The eyes, the hair.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40But today's the last day of the circus.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41I'm sorry, Charlotte.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44But I can't come with you.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47I need your help.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- One and six.- One and nine.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Any advance on one and nine?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Two shillings!- I have two shillings.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Two and six!- Three shillings!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- And six!- I'm out.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Come on, Gids!- Three and nine!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Four shillings!- And a penny!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Any more, sir?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Gids, you can do it!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12And tuppence, sir!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13It's all I've got.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Any advance?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Four shillings and tuppence. Going once, going twice...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22They're ours! We're going to the circus!
0:21:22 > 0:21:23..to the young man at the front!
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Thruppence, sir!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27The young lady is the winner!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29APPLAUSE
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Foundlings cannot win!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38They're not allowed out to a circus!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Oh, dear. I thought it would be quite fun.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43As for where they procured the money to enter?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I rewarded the boys myself, Matron.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Once more, it seems they were trying to give it back.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Then, give it back, they may.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59The rest have got some explaining to do!
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Bad luck, Sheila.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to announce that foundlings
0:22:06 > 0:22:09bidding on their own charity auction is against the rules.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The auction is cancelled and all bids are null and void.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Boys!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20At the end of the day, you will dismantle every stall and table.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Tickets!
0:22:24 > 0:22:25You will pick up litter!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Dear Lord Upton, shall we complete our transaction?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44My daughter will be most happy with your choice, Matron.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And if things don't work out,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49other British households in India are sure to need a young maid.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Whatever happens, she will get by.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Erm...
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- DOOR OPENS - No, Papa! Please don't!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I've changed my mind.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Hetty's my friend, but she's not like Mabel.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08She won't be able to care for me,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10or hold my hand if I'm upset,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12or stroke my head if I'm feeling poorly.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Hetty isn't a proper maid!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Don't fret. I've seen the two of you together.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19She will learn fast.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23It's all arranged, Miss Upton.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I'll send my valet, Peters, for our carriage.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33He'll return to fetch the child at the end of the day, six o'clock.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I will ensure everything is finalised.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37And for you, Charlotte...
0:23:38 > 0:23:42..as a farewell gift, before you leave for India...
0:23:43 > 0:23:44a trip to the circus.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47The circus?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Thank you!
0:23:51 > 0:23:53DOOR OPENS
0:23:53 > 0:23:55A donation to the hospital, Matron.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00You've done Charlotte and I a huge favour.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Forever in your gratitude.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04So, that was it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Matron had sealed my fate.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Gideon? Charlotte?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Charlotte told me everything. - I tried, Hetty!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I really tried. The paperwork's signed.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20She's sending me to India.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22What am I going to do?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Go to her, Hetty.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27The circus?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Ask Madame Adeline if she's your mother.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It's the most important thing in the world.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Then, this is it.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37We've got to get out of here.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39What? Escape?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Will you come with me?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Of course! But how do you get out of here?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46I can help.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50But there's only enough room for one.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51And we have to leave now.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Then, you have to go, Hetty.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Without me.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- How can I?- Please!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02What's worse - going out and searching for your mother
0:25:02 > 0:25:04or going to India and never seeing me again?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Find out who you are and where you belong.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11I'll come back for you one day.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I know I will.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Farewell, fair cousin!
0:25:27 > 0:25:31And to you, Frederick. Safe journey and much success.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Success has always been my strong point.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Keep up the good work...
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Cranners.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The child will be ready upon your valet's return.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Thank you for everything. - No, no. Thank you.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- A good day then, Matron?- It was.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It was very good, indeed.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Farewell, Lord Upton, Charlotte.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Hetty?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Hetty?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- MATRON SHOUTS:- Hetty Feather?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41CROWD CHATTERS
0:26:43 > 0:26:44HORSE WHINNYS
0:26:49 > 0:26:50I was free.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I wasn't a foundling any more.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Now, I just had to find the circus.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08The child must be found and quick about it!
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Thief!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11The whole hospital's been looking for her.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Hetty Feather! Stop, this instant! - You can't send me away!
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- You can't do this to me! - I can do what I like!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Upton's carriage arrives at six to take me away.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Hetty?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Matron's selling me to be a servant in India.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28We've got the evidence.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29What evidence?
