So I've decided
to give the post of housekeeper to Lily.
Me? Take orders from that... that...
"Guttersnipe" is what you usually call me,
Mrs Parks.
And guttersnipe is what you are!
I'll not take orders from you, or the likes of you!
Same here.
- Now, you listen to me, both of you.
You'll do exactly as I say, or you'll get out!
Yes, sir. As you say, sir.
If you give satisfaction,
there's no reason why you shouldn't stay.
Your stick, sir?
This is the one for the evening.
I'll remember.
I'm sure you don't.
I may be late. No-one need wait up for me.
Thank you, sir.
- Oh, Father and Stephen are still talking.
- Yes, they are.
Oh, I do hope they come
to some sort of an arrangement soon.
Poor Stephen!
He looks like a lost soul these days.
See here, young lady! Bachelors
can be lost souls, as well as widowers.
- Why not worry about poor David?
- You?
- Yes, me.
- Such an idea would never occur to me.
Besides, you've been very naughty.
- I can't think what I did.
- That's just it. You didn't do anything.
You just sat like a lump all the way
through dinner without saying a word.
You know, I don't think I should have ever
invited you to dinner with Stephen.
After all, it was his first evening to anyone's
house and I wanted it to be pleasant.
You were pleasant enough for both of us.
Come on, Beth.
We don't want to miss the overture.
I would like to wait a moment. Do you mind?
Thank you, sir.
Oh, Andrews, we'll have brandy in here.
- Very good, sir.
- Well, my dear, it's all settled.
Really, Father? Oh, how wonderful!
Aren't you going to congratulate Stephen?
- On what?
- On the new partnership.
From now on, it's to be Travers & Lowry.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
It really has been a blessing.
I've been so at loose ends,
not quite knowing
how to pick up the pattern again.
Don't try. It's better to make a new one.
Beth, er... We'll be late.
- I'm taking Elizabeth to the theatre.
- Gilbert and Sullivan.
- Good night, sir.
- Good night, my boy.
- Oh, I'm so pleased, Stephen!
- Are you?
Shall we go?
You know, there's another reason why I'm glad
you've decided to go in with me.
I'm not as young as I was, and I want someone
to have a firm rein on the business
- for Elizabeth's sake. She's all I have.
My dear boy, he's a barrister,
not a businessman.
- Besides, nothing is settled between them yet.
- Oh, I thought it was.
- I thought he was becoming quite serious.
- Well, of course.
- They've grown up together. He's a fine lad.
- Oh, he's a splendid fellow.
Now, I think the first thing for you to do
is to make a good survey of the warehouse.
