0:00:04 > 0:00:06I didn't know you owned a cottage.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Why did you two never live there?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16I visited once, but I never cared for it.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Anyway, it was your grandfather's.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25It was really all very basic.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Goodnight.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Goodnight, dear.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05My dear Flora, your photograph is getting pretty battered
0:01:05 > 0:01:08with all the travelling around in my breast pocket.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14I can't tell you where we are or much of what we're doing, of course.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Much of the countryside is so beautiful that
0:01:16 > 0:01:20I have to remind the men that we're not here on holiday,
0:01:20 > 0:01:21but then merry hell breaks out again.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13I need you back at the gatehouse.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24He's an official war artist.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Now, you're not to mind him drawing you.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28His work is good for morale.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Sir?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Sir, is it true that the Hun lay on tarts for their soldiers?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Yeah, how come they get tarts and we get artists?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's the morale back home that art can raise.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It's for your wives and girlfriends, your children...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43LAUGHTER

0:06:06 > 0:06:07So, how far to the handover?
0:06:07 > 0:06:12An hour at least, depending on the state of the road.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Well, in that case, nature calls. - ENGINE PURRS

0:19:32 > 0:19:34You came.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Of course I came.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Well, I'd hope so.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Oh, I don't think we...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Compliments of Mr March, sir.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Thomas, you shouldn't have.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36You can't get married and not have bubbles.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Thank you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Thank you.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45So, to the bride and groom.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54So, are you...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Are you really not having a honeymoon?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59We haven't a bean until Michael's salary from the bank comes through.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03We used pretty much all of our savings on the deposit for the flat.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So not even a weekend in your cottage?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Erm...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, dear.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14Not until it has a boiler, a new bathroom and no mice.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17The flat is darling, though - right on the park.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19You must come for supper.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Yes, you must.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Apparently, Thomas's pad in Soho was unreconstructed Hogarth.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27How marvellous.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Not really.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30So, won't you miss your teaching?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Hardly. All those dirty-minded little boys.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35SHE CHUCKLES
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Ah, food!

0:26:06 > 0:26:08She rather implied she'd already auditioned him,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10and he'd passed with flying colours.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Sorry, what was that? I was miles away.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I said, who else shall we invite?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Er, well, I ran into Richard Tremaine
0:26:21 > 0:26:22at Blackfriars the other day.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25You know, from the regiment. We could have him and his wife.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28What about poor Thomas? We haven't seen him since the wedding.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Daphne thought he was a bit of all right,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33and has all sorts of eager spinsters lined up for him.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35No, I don't think so.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Why ever not?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Well, he's not terribly sociable, really.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40He'd only be a dead weight.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And you can tell Daphne he's a confirmed bachelor.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Hmm?

0:29:13 > 0:29:16He was arrested, first thing this morning.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18No! Why?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22It turns out he was also living with the man upstairs.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24One of their neighbours had sneaked,
0:29:24 > 0:29:29and the police showed up at dawn and caught them together in bed.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Will he go to prison?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Almost certainly,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and Bill has a prior history of gross indecency,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40which isn't as bad as buggery, but it's almost as bad.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43No more handling Lady Downing's bristols for him!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08Now, darling, tell.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11You sounded all shaky when you rang,

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Why?
0:31:11 > 0:31:16I needed some ink and it was full of junk in there.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I hope I didn't throw out anything precious.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Yes, he...
0:42:24 > 0:42:26He looks like a submariner.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32It's oddly like having him back in boarding school.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37I was forbidden to visit there too, in case I embarrassed him.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Oh, you needn't look at me with such sensitivity.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45I'm well aware of what he did and why he's there.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06I have been storing them in his absence,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09rather than leave them with that creature in Soho.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18I write him letters in soft pencil on one side of cartridge paper,
0:43:18 > 0:43:21so he can draw on the other.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Well, you should take this one.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33It's only a study.

0:43:47 > 0:43:48Yes.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52So you must take it.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56Oh, no, I... I couldn't possibly.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00Uh, I think it's...it's wonderful, the colours...
0:44:00 > 0:44:03but our...our flat's so tiny.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06Perhaps, um...
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Perhaps just one of the notebooks?
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Oh, well, that one's damaged.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16Yes, but, um...
0:44:19 > 0:44:21I was there, you see.
0:44:31 > 0:44:36I have a very small house in France, Mr Berryman...
0:44:38 > 0:44:42..in a very small village, in Cassis.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45You can go there when Thomas comes out.
0:44:46 > 0:44:50He...he can paint and...and you can...
0:44:50 > 0:44:52you can write something.
0:44:55 > 0:45:00That's very kind of you, Mrs March, but, um, he wants...
0:45:00 > 0:45:02he wants nothing more to do with me.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05Oh, that's just pride.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07And I have a wife and child.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16Is she happy?
0:45:16 > 0:45:18She's...
0:45:22 > 0:45:25I, um...
0:45:25 > 0:45:27I should... I should be getting home.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02My darling Thomas,
0:46:02 > 0:46:07you refuse my visits so you're probably tearing up my letters too,
0:46:07 > 0:46:11but there's nothing else I can do but keep trying.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13It's beyond my control, do you see?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21All those months ago, when I had nothing to lose really,
0:46:21 > 0:46:22I wrote to you in my head,
0:46:22 > 0:46:26but was too cowardly to set more than lies on paper,
0:46:26 > 0:46:29and now I find I no longer care.
0:46:31 > 0:46:37The love I feel for you runs through me like grain through wood.

0:46:40 > 0:46:45Your face, your voice, your touch, enter my mind at the least
0:46:45 > 0:46:49opportune moments and I find I have no power to withstand them.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51No desire to.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56I want us to be together as we were in the cottage,
0:46:56 > 0:46:59only forever, not just a weekend.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04I want it to go on so long that it feels normal.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08I want to do all the ordinary, un-bedroomy things
0:47:08 > 0:47:11we never got around to doing -
0:47:11 > 0:47:14making toast, raking leaves,
0:47:14 > 0:47:16sitting in silence.

0:48:01 > 0:48:02Oh, tonight? But he's...
0:48:02 > 0:48:05I was coming out of South Ken on my way to Christie's this morning,
0:48:05 > 0:48:08and I saw him striding towards the train with his suitcase,
0:48:08 > 0:48:11as well as the usual briefcase.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Oh, yes. I'm such a dolt, darling.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45so I'm bracing myself for a long afternoon sewing in name-tapes.
