Bring Kathy and the kids?

What do I want visitors for?

Not now, but maybe when you're at home.

Come in, number one. Your time's up.

Number two, your time's up.

Come in, number three.

I'd better go, or I'll miss the train.

See you soon.

We're looking for Arthur Morrison.

Arthur Morrison. Back corridor.

Thank you.

I came as quickly as I could.

Am I too late?

Who's that then?

It's Blake, Dad.

Blake. Blake, good.

How did you get from the station?

Taxi.

Taxi, eh? Moneybags.

When did His Lordship arrive?

Just now.

He's with him now.

- Back in London by teatime.

- Gillian.

That's enough.

How's he taking it?

- Don't know yet.

- Hello.

Hi.

All right.

Get off.

- Bloody thing.

- Just trying to remember who you are.

She's just very pleased

to see you.

Arthur's very pleased too.

- Is he?

- Of course he is.

Gosh, "Where's Blake? Where's Blake?"

Is all I've had for days now.

Sorry, I would've gotten down sooner,

it's that new house and everything.

No, it's fine, darling.

He knows how busy you are.

I made up your old bedroom,

when you want to take your stuff up.

Down the corridor, up the stairs,

first on the right.

Blake? Blake, where are you?

Come on. She's here.

Come on, chop-chop.

She's here, Blake.

Come and say hello.

Blake!

Sandra, how are you?

I'm Arthur. This is Kim.

This is our youngest, Gillian.

Blake is somewhere,

probably still asleep.

On a beautiful day like today.

Blake, come and say hello to Sandra.

This is the kitchen.

Have you ever cooked on an Aga before?

- No.

- Sandra, would you like a cup of tea?

Yes, please.

There he is! Sleeping Beauty.

Blake, meet Sandra, our new maid.

Maid or housekeeper?

Skivvy! I'm joking.

- Let's just say one of the family.

- Pleased to meet you, Blake.

- You're Scottish.

- Oh, what gave you that impression?

- Whereabouts in Scotland?

- Glasgow.

- Oh, Glasgow.

- Ever been to Glasgow?

No. No, I haven't.

Right! Well, let me show you your room,

you can get settled in,

and then we'd like you to start

sweeping the chimneys. Just joking.

Follow me, quick as you like.

Mind the step.

On the left,

that's Blake's room.

Avoid at all costs, if I were you.

The last maid we had went in there,

haven't seen her since.

No, seriously, we do have some fun.

It was stupid, really.

You spend your life trying to avoid

someone, and then it's too late.

Why can't you talk to him now?

He's so doped up, I could be anyone.

I'm sure there'll be time.

Yeah, well, you haven't seen him,

have you?

No. No, I suppose not.

The kids are here.

Do you want to talk to them?

No, not just now, eh?

Really? 'Cause they want to talk to you.

Yeah, OK, put them on, will you?
