0:00:58 > 0:01:00What on earth are you doing?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02This is not the time to be rearranging ornaments.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Look at the rug! It's soaked! And it's Persian!

0:01:19 > 0:01:21I have to get upstairs.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I have to get everything off, everything...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'll fetch help!

0:01:43 > 0:01:45I'm thirsty. I'm so thirsty.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm sure this is just a false alarm.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I'm sure this is quite normal.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Everything off, everything off!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The buttons, Frances! The buttons!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The corset, Frances, the corset!

0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's stopped, it's stopped.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17There. What did I tell you? Quite normal.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Your corset was just too tight. "I'm having the baby."
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Always so melodramatic, Honoria. It was just your corset.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29You can't even look at it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32That's your niece or nephew in here. Part of you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35It is no part of me.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Your appearance is of someone quite mad, you know.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I don't care.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, YOU might not, but I do.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Please can you help me with my boots?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I can't bend down. If I could, I wouldn't ask you.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57That's quite enough nonsense for one night.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I'm only relieved Papa isn't here.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I assume you can manage on your own now.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I am so very thirsty.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'll fetch you some milk.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And then I suppose I had better clear up after you.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Of course, the one day Rose is away
0:03:15 > 0:03:18is the day you choose to wreak havoc. The hallway is a disgrace.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- I'm sorry. - Yes! You're always sorry after.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Well, that is the point of sorry, Frances.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Who would be sorry before?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29And you've done plenty to be sorry about.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Do you want this milk?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Because if you speak to me like that,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I shan't fetch it for you and you'll be thirsty.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Well?

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Why is it coming now?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56I don't know, I don't know, but something is wrong,

0:05:58 > 0:05:59I will fetch Mrs Gamp.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18but after you've taken this note!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Go to the barracks. No. No, not the barracks.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29then go to the barracks.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30I'll need a penny, Miss.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I don't have a penny.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37But Captain Hawdon will pay you.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41He'll give you a sixpence. A shiny, silver sixpence.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43It's SO important.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Go! Run!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Yes. What are you doing?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I don't know. It just feels right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37What's all that?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39There are always cloths and water.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40That much I know.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43There are always cloths and water.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47So I got some, and an encyclopaedia.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50M for Midwifery.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55The doctor will need a sensible woman to assist him.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56I am she.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Do you promise you sent for James?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59I promise.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I want a doctor to come, even if I do not want Captain Hawdon.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Do you think he'll come? After the...the disagreement?
0:09:10 > 0:09:11The "disagreement".
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Oh, oh, Frances.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16The "disagreement"?
0:09:16 > 0:09:17He'll come.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Despite the disagreement, despite you and everything you've done,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23he will come.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25He loves me, you see.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27This is his baby.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30He loves me so much.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31I'm sure you should be in bed.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, what would you know?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35If you aren't in bed when Captain Hawdon and the doctor come,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37they'll see your legs.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Captain Hawdon has seen more than my legs.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- SHE TUTS Must you?- And the doctor will see MUCH more than my legs.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Or do you think he'll magically discover the baby under
0:09:47 > 0:09:49a gooseberry bush?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51We don't even have a gooseberry bush.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Then get to bed!
0:10:03 > 0:10:07No. I don't want to be in bed. This helps.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It helps just to stay like this.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12For a little while at least.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Shall I leave you? - No. No. No. No.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You have a rose petal in your hair.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23No, don't. Don't. It's pretty.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Miss Barbary?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Yes, sir.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Not Miss Honoria? Not the beautiful one.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44I know her handwriting.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46She said I'd find you here, sir.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48She said she'd be certain you'd be drinking, sir.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Like a petulant boy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I'm not angry with you. What else did she say?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00She also said that you'd give us sixpence, sir.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'm going to give you some advice. Man to man.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'd rather you give me the sixpence, sir.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10When the woman you love,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15when the one who has your heart calls for you, you run to her.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Run as fast as you can, through fire, through storms, run.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25But when her sister demands your presence...you leave her to sweat.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31She did say that was important, sir.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It will be insults and threats
0:12:33 > 0:12:36and she'll take herself off to her narrow bed and sleep the sleep
0:12:36 > 0:12:39of the righteous as though she hadn't tried to destroy everything.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45But she won't. She can't part us.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Nothing can do that, least of all Miss Frances Barbary.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- You have your sixpence. Go. - Yes, sir.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25CLOCK CHIMES
0:13:33 > 0:13:34You're very hot.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36No, I'm cold.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51This isn't particularly informative.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53It doesn't tell you what to do after the cord is cut.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Just, just swaddle the baby and then hand it to the wet nurse.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59We don't have a wet nurse.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01We have me.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Captain Hawdon's taking his time.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11He'll be fetching a doctor.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18I wonder what it is, a little boy or a little girl?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25I don't mind, a daughter or a son, as long as it's healthy,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- but I wonder what it is. - It's unwanted.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- I- want it. James wants it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Are you so blind, Honoria?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41This baby is a scandal!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It is shame! It is disgrace!
0:14:43 > 0:14:48It will stain our family name forever!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50And it is your doing, your wilfulness,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52that has dragged us all into the mire!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Why do you hate me so much?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01I don't.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Ever since you came home, ever since you came back, you have hated me.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Hated me and hated me. What did I do?
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Apart from ruin yourself.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13No, before this. You hated me.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16There was nothing I could do that was right for you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Just hating and hating. Why?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23You were always preferred.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26What are you talking about?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Everyone always preferred you. Loved you most.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Mama. Father.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- But that's not true. - Oh, yes, it is!
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Frances, you were engaged. You were going to be married.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41You were happy. YOU were preferred.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You broke off your engagement to come back home to hate me?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47To hurt me?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50It wasn't I who broke off the engagement. HE did.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- But you said that... - I know what I said.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I was too sober for him.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Too serious.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06He said, "Why can't you be more like Honoria?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09"She's so carefree, so vivacious."
0:16:11 > 0:16:15And then just when I thought that someone preferred me,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18just when I thought that Sir Leicester Dedlock had an interest...
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Sir Leicester? You had hopes there?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Why did you push me to him, if you had hopes?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29He didn't want me. He wanted you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32He was captivated.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Entranced. So, you see?
0:16:37 > 0:16:43You were always preferred, always loved the most.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I loved YOU most.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55No, you didn't.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I did.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08My sister. My sister.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I loved you the most.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22If it's a boy, Thomas Edward.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27If it's a girl, Esther Frances.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36You're going to be an aunt, Frances.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40This baby is part of you.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46Part of us. James and I will marry because this baby is so wanted.
0:17:48 > 0:17:55If it's a girl, Esther Frances, and you and I start again.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00We start again and we try.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm scared I'm dying, I'm dying!
0:19:26 > 0:19:29No, look at me. Look at me!
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Now, listen.
